Chapter 248 - 245: Snuff Out the Candle, Kill the Military Leader!

Chapter 248: Chapter 245: Snuff Out the Candle, Kill the Military Leader!

It was proven that the "Morality Cudgel," is an invincible tool in anyone’s hands, hard to resist.

Whoever it hits would feel pain deep in their bones.

Squeal—!

From the mouth of the Red Eyebrow Mountain Demon came a shriek that didn’t sound human.

Under the immense force, its colossal body bounced uncontrollably across the sea surface, rolling several times and smashing countless waves into rising mists of white fog.

Only then did it gradually regain balance.

With a forceful slap of its remaining right arm on the sea surface, the Red Eyebrow Mountain Demon leaped up and finally stood again.

Falling backward, it could only cushion its fall by borrowing force from the seawater, leaving two long white streaks along the surface.

Watching the Sea-Covering Dragon King come slashing through the waves like an arrow sprung from its bow, Inner Official Lv’s monkey-like ugly face turned extremely unsightly.

"Prince Jing, I have truly underestimated you,"

"Merely twenty-seven years old, not yet a fully matured man, yet you’ve already broken through to the fourth realm ’Military Leader’, with plenty of time left to prepare for the ascension to ’Martial Saint’.

Among the young talents I know, you are definitely among the top three, far surpassing the other princes."

"Unfortunately, have you not heard that the obstinate live longer, while the brilliant die young?!"

Inside the mountain demon’s belly, a Qi Blood Elixir that resembled a mini sun suddenly rotated.

The left arm, which had been blown into a mist of blood, regrew from water-like fluid in just a few breaths.

The ’Military Dao Dharma Image’ is not merely a body of flesh and blood, but due to reaching the fourth realm ’Military Leader’ in Military Skill, it embodies a new path.

Consequently, it awakens a method of transformation.

It represents the essence of one’s own Military Skill, even the thought process of the Ten Thousand Enemies Skill.

After ascending to the fifth realm ’Martial Saint,’ generals could even rely on it to write theories, leaving a striking mark in the history of Military Dao.

Of course, although damaging this Dharma Image wouldn’t be heart-wrenching, the loss of Qi-Blood would indeed be real.

If one could activate the Ten Thousand Enemies Skill, one’s army would provide an endless supply of Military Aura to replenish the Dharma Image, making fighting for three days and nights no issue.

But in fierce solo combat, one could only deplete one’s own reserves.

It’s like many ’Heavenly People No Leak’ ’Martial Saints’, who should have been able to live up to the human life span of one hundred fifty years, always remaining at the peak of their physical and mental abilities.

Even the night before their life expires, they could effortlessly enthral seven women.

However, in battles like this, their essence, Qi, and spirit would suffer greatly, possibly not living much longer than an average person.

The next moment.

The Dharma Images of the Sea-Covering Dragon King and the Red Eyebrow Mountain Demon, akin to colossal spirits, clashed with an explosive impact.

Boom—!

A fierce wind as sharp as blades centered around them, leveling the nearby waves. The sea was pushed far away where they stood, forming a vast depression.

With more battle experience, even having once killed the Yellow Seal Mage, Inner Official Lv did not confront the Morality Cudgel head-on.

Instead, dodging the Wolf Fang Club by a hair, he pushed it with his palm, making it smash heavily into the sea.

Simply based on the Taoist Military Skill, Inner Official Lv was fully qualified to look down upon the newly advanced Zhou Jinhuan.

Unfortunately, the latter was never fighting alone.

Bell, bell, bell...

The ringing of the Soul Stabilizing Bell sounded like a bewitching tune, arriving abruptly, violently shaking Lv’s Divine Soul, and causing his counterattacking motions to stutter momentarily.

It was Huang Wu, floating in the sky, who, leveraging the Yin Yang Heart Bell, initiated her strongest control spell as she danced, lifting her skirt elegantly.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Jinhuan swung the Wolf Fang Club fiercely, creating a whirlwind that enveloped half of the Red Eyebrow Mountain Demon.

With the endless Debt augmenting it, this Wolf Fang storm was exceedingly sharp, like thousands of cuts.

Even though Inner Official Lv regained his senses in a blink and retreated immediately,

the terrifying Wolf Fang storm easily sheared off his right shoulder and even scraped off half of his cheek.

Under the coordination of Huang Wu and Zhou Jinhuan, Inner Official Lv, who was initially prepared to continue his violent assaults using his experience, was suddenly beaten out of his aggression.

With constant "boom, boom" sounds over the sea, the valuable Qi-Blood of the Red Eyebrow Mountain Demon was being rapidly dissolved by ’Morality’.

After several attempts, the Grand Eunuch, feeling a growing emptiness inside, finally realized that if he didn’t leave now, he might truly be unable to get away.

He gritted his teeth:

"Once back at the palace, if I don’t accuse you of premeditated rebellion and severely punish you, I, Lv Jingde, swear I am not a man!"

Subsequently, his internal Qi-Blood circulated rapidly, and a mist of blood rose from his body surface, his already red eyebrows spurting out beads of blood.

He was ready to use the self-harming breakout secret method ’Innate Divine Ability · Bone Melting and Blood Condensing’ to escape.

Before Wang Yuan and the others could react, someone had already lost their patience.

It was Xu Zhenzhi who looked at Inner Official Lv, gauged the energy and calculated with a strategy, and his face gradually revealed a cold smile:

"The art of prophecy within ’Slaughter Science’ belongs to my ’Great Fate’ lineage who has studied it most deeply.

A fully evil, double-dealing Sect pawn, daring to secretly harm a promising Water Virtue Hidden Dragon of our Human Clan?

Since I, Old Xu, have encountered this, how could I let you escape easily?"

It is said, "When Taoist descend the mountain to face national calamity, Nine Soldiers unsheathe their swords to save the common folk!"

For thousands of years, the Nine Soldiers only descend the mountain to save the world at the end of a Dynasty.

Though they once supported the Dragon Vein of the Old Dynasty, they never remain loyal to any family or surname, nor do they concern themselves with the survival of the Old Dynasty for the sake of nobility.

If the Emperor thinks they have descended the mountain to help him extend his reign, he is utterly mistaken.

They are truly the group that embodies the belief that "the people are the most important, the state is next, and the ruler is the least important."

"Whoever holds the people’s hearts becomes the future supreme ruler of the world, the core of the dragon’s energy!"

Even before each change of dynasty, the magicians of the [Great Fate] lineage would be the first to step into the world and act.

This was to identify the hidden dragons capable of reorganizing the mountains and rivers in advance and to prevent them from being harmed by evil forces beforehand.

Whether for public duty or personal interest, Xu Zhenzhi could not allow wicked villains to roam free.

Of course, the precondition was that he had to be able to defeat them.

He gently stomped his foot and with a "boom" sound, a yellow soil dharma altar rose beneath him.

With a wave of his hand, he placed the divine tablets of the seven Douzhai Star Gods of North Heaven onto the altar.

They were: The Greedy Wolf Star Lord of North Dipper, the Giant Gate Star Lord of North Dipper, the Mars Star Lord of North Dipper, the Mars Zhenzhen Star Lord of North Dipper...

The Lianzhen Star Lord of North Dipper, the Mars Star Lord of North Pole, the Po Jun Star Lord of North Dipper.

These were the deities that, according to myth, governed the fortune and disaster of the people.

Xu Zhenzhi, with his hair disheveled, stood on the dharma altar, stepping in Yu’s Step, muttering under his breath, and slowly raised the peach wood sword as if lifting a thousand-pound burden.

He had already activated the heaven and earth spiritual mechanism of this mountain and sea with the [Mountain and Sea Qi Method].

In his mouth, he quickly chanted the geomancy saying:

"Avoid water from two directions if illness befalls, the heavenly gate should not be mismatched; further blessed with titles and ranks apparent, diagonal flying water brings catastrophe imminent!"

The wind of Nine Nether rose with Yu’s Step, and without Xu Zhenzhi speaking, the divine tablet of the Lianzhen Star Lord slightly lit up, and a great voice continued his chant:

"Changing wives, poison, armed strife, women miscarrying; such misfortunes must visit his house, leaving it lean and feeble, steam reducing its vitality sea!"

The last two voices shouted together:

"Yin and Yang moving, locking the jade pass! Move mountains! Fix!"

Between heaven and earth, the weather changed abruptly, forming a perilous formation right then between the mountain and the sea.

And right at the deadly spot of the formation, was precisely positioned above the head of Inner Official Lv.

"No——!"

Thus, transforming into a blood rainbow, the freshly ascended Red Eyebrow Mountain Demon, felt as though a massive mountain had been placed upon its shoulders.

Its innate divine ability was forcefully disrupted, and the entire being crashed back into the sea.

Bang!

Although unsure what was wrong with the old eunuch, the Sea-Covering Dragon King seized the opportunity and ferociously beat the war drum hanging by his side.

Within a hundred feet where he stood, clear and cold water suddenly surged, crashing onto Inner Official Lv with the force of displacing mountains and overwhelming seas.

With a move [Exclusive Military Skill: When Water Strikes Three Thousand Miles], it struck him hard on the shore, just like a relentless wave.

After successive massive drains, the Red Eyebrow Mountain Demon’s height had shrunk to merely six feet, nearly halved.

At this moment, Wang Yuan’s ghost baby incarnation, controlled by his Yin God, finally no longer had to remain motionless like an insect trapped in amber.

In a flash, he appeared like an afterimage behind Inner Official Lv.

After possessing the ghost baby, all the tricks usable by fierce ghosts came naturally to Wang Yuan.

Object control, immunity to slashing and stabbing, creating clones from thoughts, flying without a trace, invisibility, Ghost Covering Eyes, illusion techniques, spells, dream entry, possession, ghost fire...

And because the ghost body was formless and intangible, it was even swifter than the Yin God Sword Control.

Leaving no trace, swift as lightning, a hundred miles come and go in just a moment.

It’s likely that in the magician phase, there could hardly be a more fearsome "fierce ghost" in the whole world!

"Spare..."

Before Inner Official Lv could even begin to plead for mercy, he suddenly felt his body stiffen.

He had already been successfully cornered by Wang Yuan.

Originally, this old eunuch’s realm far surpassed Wang Yuan’s, his Qi-Blood robust, impervious to countless spells, indeed he need not fear ghosts.

But now, his Qi-Blood was continuously weakening in his battle with Zhou Jinhuan, barely stronger than an ordinary [Dao General].

And finally, it was Wang Yuan’s turn to put on a well-rehearsed show for him.

The ghost baby perched on Inner Official Lv’s shoulder took a deep breath, then fiercely blew at the "life fire" among the three fires on his shoulders and head.

[Ghost Blowing Lamp: Snuffing Out the Wick]!

A chilling ghostly air instantly entered through his shoulder well acupoint, chilling his six organs, crossing the Dantian, piercing through the nine orifices, causing the flesh and bones within the High Eunuch to loosen and greatly harming his Primordial Qi.

In just a moment, he became scarier than a consumptive ghost.

The originally vigorous life fire flickered a few times and then suddenly extinguished.

[Military Dao Dharma Image · Red Eyebrow Mountain Demon] also dissipated instantly.

Inner Official Lv, looking more wretched than a skeleton, fell from midair like a dead dog.

His soul was plucked out by Wang Yuan, who reached out with a ghostly claw.

At that moment, Inner Official Lv’s face was distorted, far from his initially domineering demeanor.

"No! I am the Grand Eunuch, the Emperor’s close attendant; you can’t kill me!

If you kill me, you are rebelling! Don’t you want to know who is plotting against King Jing?...."

The body covered in golden scriptures, weird yet holy, the ghost baby merely gave him a weird smile.

Then its two little hands balled up the ghost soul and "gulp" swallowed it into its belly.

The next moment it couldn’t help but spit a few times, deeply frowning its brows.

"Ptui, ptui, ptui, what’s wrong, this eunuch... so bland!"
