"Lord of the East Sea?!"
Mansion Master You laughed angrily, clutching his slowly regenerating severed arm, his face twisted, "A Divine Travel Realm, relying on so brute strength, truly does not know his place!"
"Noisy!"
Zhang Kui's figure flickered, and with a booming shockwave behind him, he appeared almost instantly above Mansion Master You. A tabletop-sized giant hamr wrapped in fierce winds howled downward.
His purpose was to cause chaos, to both distract the powers of the East Sea and quickly gain skill points to enhance his strength for future challenges.
None of them were good people anyway, killing any of them makes no difference!
"Madman!"
Mansion Master You's pupils constricted, retreating once more. At the sa ti, a dharma aspect illusion towering several hundred ters behind him waved both hands, and a large bright pearl appeared before him.
Buzz!
The giant wave surged skyward, transforming into countless sharp ice spikes upon erging, glinting with cold light and swirling with Yin Fire, sweeping toward Zhang Kui in the air.
Zhang Kui relied purely on the power of his physical body, which seed unimpressive by comparison. To the naked eye, he was facing nothing but ice spikes, like a child standing against the might of heaven and earth.
Yet Zhang Kui was unfazed, his muscles bulging, his face ferocious, he shouted furiously, "Get lost!"
With a thunderous boom, as the bronze hamr made contact with the ice spikes, shockwaves spread, and all the ice spikes in its path turned to ice flakes. anwhile, the sea surface within a thousand-ter radius suddenly dented deeply by a hundred ters, then surged into a monstrous wave.
The spell being broken head-on left Mansion Master You's dharma aspect illusion unstable as well. A flicker of fear flashed in his eyes as he hurriedly retreated, simultaneously shouting, "Mansion Master Chang, Mansion Master Cha, co quickly to help !"
Although the battlefield had long spread out, such distance ant nothing to those in the Mahayana Realm. The Yaksha General and the Red Qilin Poison Flood Dragon, who wanted to sha Zhang Kui, arrived in an instant.
Zhang Kui snorted and his figure vanished.
The first key to chaotic warfare is to avoid encirclent; even without a life-threatening crisis, it wastes ti and is not worthwhile.
Mansion Master You watched Zhang Kui's disappearing figure, scanning with his divine sense but detecting nothing. While he maintained a vigilant defense, his expression was grim.
"What does this Wild Demon an?"
Yaksha Mansion Master's eyes held suspicion and uncertainty. He had originally thought he had overestimated Zhang Kui. But seeing Mansion Master You falter in a few moves, a chill arose within him.
"He is definitely not in the Divine Travel Realm!"
Mansion Master You's face turned ashen while searching around, "This Wild Demon's background is unknown. Returning the Dragon Pearl clearly harbors ill intentions."
"Soon, I must inform Elder Gui..."
While the three were discussing, Zhang Kui had already gone far, his eyes filled with fierce light as he searched for a target.
The second secret to chaotic warfare is to find the weaker ones to strike a sneak attack, a hit to ensure, that is, to snatch the heads.
Soon, he found a target.
It was an acquaintance, Bao Wuxin. At this ti, the East Sea Water Mansion and the Spiritual Sect had already gained the upper hand. The Three-tailed Fox Demon was floating in the sky, her expression indifferent, the three tails behind her swaying with demon fire.
In front of her, on the sea surface, a hundred-ter-long scorpion-like lobster had red eyes and seed frenzied, rolling in the waves and spraying venom but unable to find a target.
Such powerful Illusion Skill...
Zhang Kui chuckled, his figure instantly appearing, the giant hamr wrapped in evil wind crashing down.
Bao Wuxin frowned and quickly retreated, only to find the opponent's target was the Sea Eye Great Demon.
Boom!
Flesh and shell splattered everywhere, the giant lobster under the illusion had no ti to react and was instantly smashed through the skull.
"Who are you?"
A flash of doubt appeared in Bao Wuxin's eyes.
Zhang Kui used the Soul Capture on the giant lobster demon's divine soul. Without waiting for the opponent to beg, a flash of purple evil light, then he smiled slightly at Bao Wuxin and disappeared.
"Such a powerful invisibility magic technique..."
Bao Wuxin was thoughtful but then suddenly had an epiphany, recalling the battle outside Taiyuan City, with a slight smile forming at the corner of her mouth.
"Yuan Huang was right, this True Man Zhang is indeed a daredevil troublemaker..."
Zhang Kui naturally didn't know his identity had been guessed and continued to search for targets.
Unfortunately, within a short ti, the East Sea Water Mansion and the Spiritual Sect had already shown overwhelming dominance.
The remaining Mahayana realm from the Sea Eye and General's Tomb sides were basically hiding behind the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch and the Military Advisor, while the Spiritual Sect's side had also stopped.
On the field, only the Sect Leader of the Spiritual Sect was battling the Military Advisor of General's Tomb, with the Old Turtle Demon leading several Mansion Masters forming a grand array, using the Dragon Pearl to resist the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch.
General's Tomb had brought nine Mahayana Realm mbers this ti, but in a short ti, only four were left, and that Military Advisor was about to lose his mind, striking relentlessly.
It was still dayti, yet a strange celestial vision appeared in the sky, stars moving, and the sea surface space bizarrely forming into shattered-glass patterns, changing and rotating.
Zhang Kui watched intently.
This was no ordinary Skill; common arrays could manipulate space, but no more than creating illusions, reversing positions.
This array, seemingly related to Star Skill, appeared to slice space. Even ordinary Mahayana Realms intruding might find themselves in pieces.
What was more peculiar, under the Tongyou Skill, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch's divine soul above the clouds appeared sticky like asphalt, almost tangible.
However, the Military Advisor could only be seen as a faint shadow.
"Heh heh..."
In the grand array, the blood-colored flas twisted and turned, weaving effortlessly through the array's gaps, seemingly unaffected.
"Military Advisor, others may not see your depths clearly, but I know you inside out. Stop, your magic technique cannot harm ."
Zhang Kui squinted slightly. This Spirit Sect Leader was not simple; it wasn't his true body that ca, nor was it a Divine Soul Ruling Artifact. It was sowhat similar to his own clone technique.
"Chi Lin..."
Above the clouds, the voice was terrifyingly somber, "Today's matter cannot end peacefully!"
"Showing no respect when given face!"
The Spirit Sect Leader snorted coldly, his tone becoming icy, "One of your true bodies is stuck in the Sea Eye, and another is foolishly trapped between life and death. Do you really think I'm unprepared?"
No sooner had he spoken than several Mahayana Realm Evil Spirits from the Spiritual Sect suddenly changed hand techniques, their figures spinning swiftly, and a dark region appeared on the sea surface.
Imdiately, a bronze tower a hundred ters tall slowly rose. Each of its eight corners on every level was hung with copper bells that moved without wind, buzzing ominously.
The sound of the bells was extrely eerie; even hearing it from afar, Zhang Kui felt his Divine Soul wanting to leave his body, and he quickly frowned and retreated.
Both sides of the Mahayana Realm also flickered their figures, looking at the bronze tower in astonishnt and uncertainty.
Zhang Kui found this tower sowhat familiar. It seed there was sothing similar in the Astronomical Bureau's Inner Treasury, though only half a broken piece and scattered small bells, called the Soul-Loss Bell.
However, this tower's structure was intact, with only slight patina, and the ghostly face patterns were clear as new.
"Soul Suppressing Tower!"
In the clouds, both the Military Advisor and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch retreated almost simultaneously, their tone filled with shock and anger, "Chi Lin, you're truly insane, daring to bring this thing out from the Underworld, aren't you afraid of attracting the souls of the Underworld?"
"That is my concern..."
The Spirit Sect Leader's voice was indifferent, "I don't want to activate this object either. How about leaving it be for today? If you seek revenge, I shall accompany you another day."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch and Military Advisor were silent for a mont, "Withdraw, first retreat to the Sea Eye!"
With that, the clouds in the north rapidly retreated, and the remaining Mahayana Realm cautiously ford an array and quickly disappeared along with the clouds.
Zhang Kui shook his head slightly with so regret; it seed neither side chose to fight to the death. However, the seeds of hatred had already been sown, and the East Sea is likely to beco quite lively in the future.
With this thought, he flickered his figure and quietly left this sea area, heading towards Taiyuan City.
As soon as he left, the Old Turtle Demon led a group of Mansion Masters, gratefully bowing: "Thank you to the Spirit Sect mbers for your assistance, relieving our Water Mansion of great calamity."
In the blood-red flas, a pair of indifferent eyes appeared again, "Quickly finalize the itinerary, if you dare deceive , the Spirit Sect will also be your Water Mansion's enemy."
The Old Turtle Demon deeply bowed:
"I will not disappoint the Sect Leader."
"Good, let's go!"
With a command from the Spirit Sect Leader, the army suddenly rolled up an endless dark mist, demon fire billowing, and quickly disappeared on the horizon.
Mansion Master You hesitated slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Elder Gui, do we truly want to cooperate with the Spirit Sect?"
By then, the Old Turtle Demon had resud his old appearance, coughing twice with a smile: "Seeking different things, we can certainly cooperate. Besides, who knows who will win in the end..."
Mansion Master You nodded, then suddenly frowned, recounting the anomaly of Zhang Kui.
"Hmph!"
The Old Turtle Demon's face instantly darkened, "Just obtained the Dragon Pearl and such disturbances arise, that Wild Demon certainly harbors ill intentions."
"Issue an order, the East Sea Water Mansion offers a bounty on Ao Guang, ending only with death!"
...
Zhang Kui of course did not know his alias had been wanted, or he'd surely burst out laughing.
That's why the Emperor rebelled.
Upon returning to Taiyuan City, he found it had also suffered a disaster. Every wave had flooded the city half a ter deep. The people were clearing mud and sand, and streets were filled with seafood flopping around.
"Brother Zhu, how extensive is the damage?"
Upon returning to the Astronomical Bureau, Zhang Kui inquired about the disaster situation from Zhu Sheng.
"The grain shops suffered severe losses, many hos of civilians were flooded, but fortunately, there were no casualties."
After Zhu Sheng finished speaking, his expression grew solemn, "Brother Dao, how is it?"
Zhang Kui smiled slightly, "I estimate for a long ti, Quanzhou can be a bit stable."
Zhu Sheng instantly understood, his expression relaxed quite a bit, "That's good. I've reviewed the Kaiyuan Sect's plan, now what we lack is ti."
After chatting for a while, Zhu Sheng imdiately left. Now that he was a National Guardian and had joined the Kaiyuan Sect, he was incredibly busy.
However, just as Zhang Kui was about to ditate and recover, the Third Princess of the Chai Kingdom, Chi Liyan, slipped in, bowing slightly.
"Chi Liyan greets True Man Zhang."
Zhang Kui chuckled,
"What brings the Third Princess here?"
Although an alliance had been ford, as they were not of the sa kind, Zhang Kui remained cautious.
Chi Liyan took a deep breath, her expression serious, "True Man Zhang, do you know why my father the Emperor is unconscious?"
Zhang Kui's eyes shifted slightly, "Oh, I would like to hear the details."
This woman had only ntioned going to the Underworld to find sothing, deliberately skipping over details about the Insect Emperor. Now she was willing to reveal more, she must have a request.
A flicker of fear crossed Chi Liyan's eyes,
"True Man Zhang, have you ever heard of the Desolate Beast?"
