Chapter 346: Chapter 343: The Battle of Mang Mountain Garage

Junzhou, Pingkang Prefecture.

Boom, boom, boom...

In the gloomy sky, eight or nine streaks of variously colored escape lights transformed into long rainbows crossing the sky, locked in combat above and below the clouds.

They shattered the clouds and tore apart the forceful winds, turning the already overcast sky into utter chaos.

The trees in the mountains below rustled from the aftershocks of the battle above, and many small animals bled from every orifice, dying on the spot.

One side of the fierce battle emitted escape lights, black or red, exuding a thick aura of death and the stench of blood;

while the other side’s turbid yellow and dark green escape lights left not only birds and beasts extinct in their wake but also turned the leaves to a withered yellow.

"Yu Jingzi, do you ’Five Immortal Sect’ creatures, born of hair and horns and hatched from moist eggs, also wish to join the throng and grab a piece of Beimang Blessed Land?

It would be better for me to turn you into a pot of snake soup now and enjoy the blessing inside my belly!"

A young Taoist dressed in a blood robe, wielding black and red swords, fused with his sword as one.

He transformed into a blood rainbow and clashed fiercely against a zhang-long green blade light coming from the opposite side.

While fighting, his mouth did not forget to employ the "Tongue Sword Skill," attempting to shake the opponent’s emotions with words and create an opportunity for victory.

The green-robed Taoist on the opposing side, with a narrow snake-like face, commandeered five green flying knives around him, forming a sharp knife network to protect himself tightly.

Even amidst the fierce battle, he didn’t show any weakness, his forked purple tongue sticking out as he coldly sneered:

"Sss, sss, Master Qixue, aren’t you the same?

No matter how hard your ’Blood River Temple’ tries, the lion’s share still goes to the ’Skull Temple’ from the ’Nine Likeness Corpse Dao,’ the strongest of them all.

It would be better to speak less nonsense.

The Great Yan Dynasty is on the verge of its demise, and during such a once-in-three-hundred-year change, among the dozen sects, only after the battle will it be known who will rise and who will sink!"

Immediately after, his hands changed seals successively, and he quickly chanted:

"Luotian Poison Beasts, guard all four gates. Swallow demons, cut galls, fierce and hideous crowds!

Ax pierces the sky, horses gallop wildly. Green phosphorus, five poisons, knife cuts day and night, fast!"

The edges of the five green blade lights surged, each projecting a phantom of a centipede, a poisonous snake, a scorpion, a gecko, and a toad, which then fiercely merged in the center.

They formed a searing blade light with scales and eyes unseen, seemingly capable of cutting through flowing clouds.

The light then slashed fiercely down at the Blood River Temple mages, with Master Qixue at the forefront.

The red-robed Taoist, Master Qixue, showed no fear, his eyes flashing brilliantly as he exclaimed:

"Well met!"

He casually threw the black and red swords in his hands towards the sky, lifting the two swords high and also invoking "Dharma Light" with seal and incantation:

"Heavenly Shadow Divine, Blood Killing Star Lord, Blood Blade Star Lord, Blood Poison Star Lord, Blood Inspection Star Lord, four stars bright and great, sun and moon forever shining.

Wielding halberd and sword, life and death devoid of spirit. Wrathful, malevolent, rampant and fierce.

Avici Slaughter Skill, beheading and dripping blood, Eating Ghost, consuming spirits! Slash—!"

In the midst of rushing river sounds, all were filled with the pungent smell of blood in their nostrils.

"Avici" and "Slaughter," the two flying swords’ sword light surged, also merging in the center into a putrid blood rainbow eroding flesh and bone.

Uncompromisingly, it collided with the opposing blade light.

In that instant, the winds stopped, and the clouds were motionless, save for the cross-shaped bright spot at the intersection of the sword and knife, growing ever brighter.

Everything within ten zhang was ground into dust.

Clang—!

After what seemed an eternity, only then did a tremendous roar, painful to the eardrums, echo through the clouds.

The "Green Phosphorus Five Poisons Knife" inherited from the "Five Immortal Sect" and the "Avici Slaughter Skill" from "Blood River Temple."

Both were essentially powerful flying sword techniques similar to the "Taiyin Split Light Sword" and the "Money Communicating God Sword."

Such sword cultivators, even if they haven’t reached the "Earth Essence" realm and forged a "Lifebound Magic Treasure," but with the assistance of a "Lifebound Flying Sword" cultivated at the cost of their very lives,

Their combative ability in the "Dharma Body" realm is also among the most outstanding.

And it was precisely because of their formidable strength, coupled with the sword cultivators’ creed of "one sword breaks ten thousand laws," that the clash between the two was especially brutal.

After the loud noise, both were sent flying backward, blood scattering across the sky.

The uncontrollable sword qi and blade light behind them remained extremely malevolent, causing the surrounding junior brothers and sisters to dodge in embarrassment, still severely punished by the onslaught.

Hit by the sword qi, their Qi-Blood withered, struck by the blade light, poison invaded their body, each one howling in agonizing pain.

"Aaaah..."

"Quick, save me! Who brought the ’Snake and Insect Pill’?"

"Give me the ’Huiqiong Powder’ to restore blood!"

After both sides suffered damage and ceased combat, hastily retreating,

Fluttering...

Only then did a series of silver-gray "Calamity Butterflies" break free from the dream realm of the mountains and trees, forming a hazy silhouette of a woman.

In a blink, she rushed towards another battlefield hundreds of miles away.

Meanwhile,

Around Beimang Mountain in Junzhou, including Hedong Prefecture, Yangping Prefecture, Pingkang Prefecture, Liuan Prefecture, Dingtiao Prefecture... everywhere had become a complete mess.

After the "Sick Weimo" and "Ghost Gate Arhat" sent out distress signals,

The prepared reinforcements from "Plague Dao" and "Nine Likeness Corpse Dao" responded with incredible speed.

Over the past three hundred years,

Even after the "Sacrificial Technique of Five Grains Harvest" failed and the Dragon Energy greatly shrank, there were still "Dragon Qi Prohibitions" based on major cities in the Mortal World forming a barrier in the skies.

This made it extremely inconvenient for the dispersed evil forces to travel between places.

Now, apart from a handful of major cities where the "Dragon Qi Prohibition" was still in effect,

the various demons and deceitful monsters were finally able to roam freely throughout the heartland of Great Yan without any restraint.

Especially those "Yellow Seal Mages" who had always been severely suppressed in the desolate wilderness, they completely unleashed their nature, moving faster than anyone else when it came to seizing great opportunities.

Moreover, the "Beimang Mountain Blessed Land" ranked seventieth among the seventy-two Blessed Lands.

Although its value was extremely high, it had its limits.

It was just right for a group of "Yellow Seal Mages," and there was no need to worry too much about "Green Seal Sages" of higher cultivation levels coveting this place.

As long as they could seize this Blessed Land, everyone was guaranteed a share of the bounty, without fear of the fruits being plucked by those higher up.

Thus, these two demonic factions, who had been enemies for over a thousand years and knew each other inside out,

not only sent reinforcements directly to Beimang Mountain but also fully exercised their initiative.

Some encircled and ambushed reinforcements; others struck fast and hard, targeting the opponent’s Daoist temples, going for the jugular;

some activated insiders, fishing in troubled waters...

Counterintelligence, beauty traps, looting amidst chaos, feinting to the east and attacking the west... Their schemes were even more numerous than the Thirty-Six Stratagems.

However, bizarrely,

no matter how perfect the strategy of one side was on a local battlefield, or how splendid their victory,

there would always be another local area where their own forces would suffer a major setback.

So much so that their overall strength remained more or less unchanged from when the war first started, always maintaining a rough equilibrium.

One moment the east wind would overcome the west wind, and the next moment, the west wind would overpower the east.

It seemed as if an invisible hand was performing extremely precise and minute manipulations.

Avoiding the strong confrontations among the higher-ups, it subtly influenced the whole battlefield from the minor details!

Without a doubt,

this was the power of "Star Lord Taibai’s" "Conquest and Transformation," "Tongue Blossoms," and "Calamity Butterfly’s" "Power: Invisible Calamity" bestowed upon Wang Yuan!

Right from the start, by using "Eating Ghost," he devoured the memories of many a demon, integrating a massive amount of information regarding the two Sects.

The "Calamity Butterfly" could employ advanced mathematical knowledge and the very Essence of dreams for deduction, which could be used for inventing and predicting the course of events.

Combined with Taibai’s avatar’s "Ziwei Dipper" calculations, Wang Yuan was constantly in control of the balance of the battle situation between both sides.

He was masterminding strategies behind the scenes and securing victory from a thousand miles away.

At the same time,

"When Taibai rides across the sky, it signifies world-changing events; the people will change, and so will kings!"

"Power: Conquest and Transformation" could subtly affect the emotions of the warring parties, guiding the lung-metal energy of slaughter and thereby inducing warfare.

It turned simple quarrels into brawls, petty conflicts into all-out melees.

It urged those demons who had reserved some strength for other potential threats to go all out, wishing nothing more than to perish alongside their adversaries.

Even though Wang Yuan’s influence reached its limits with those of his own "Dharma Body" realm, it was enough to place his pieces with composure,

controlling the entire balance of Junzhou’s battlefield.

With a three-pronged approach, he allowed the rivalry between "Plague Dao" and "Nine Phases Corpse God Dao," which had some restraint before, to overstep its boundaries and become utterly ruthless.

Thus escalating the fierceness and brutality of this Sect battle even further.

On Beimang Mountain, the entourage that had followed "Sick Weimo" Sun Fenghan and "Ghost Gate Arhat" Xu Yun had completely turned over a new leaf.

As the number of casualties escalated sharply,

Wu wu wu...

Cold winds blew through the prefectures of Junzhou as a large group of "Black Law Judges" from Old Master Wang’s direct lineage began to enforce laws across borders.

They had long known where the battle would occur and simply waited like hawks for their prey, always a step ahead of the local Yin Soldiers.

In the end, most of the bewildered Residual Souls were collected by Nie Renxiong and his men,

benefiting their own "Black Law Judge Method," constantly elevating their Taoist abilities.

In the "Black Law Judge Method," promoting from Red Seal to Yellow Seal during a Promotion Ceremony, having the chance to judge the Ghost Soul of a "Yellow Seal Mage" was already quite a rarity.

For Nie Renxiong, who was plotting his own promotion, this was just the beginning.

Within the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land,

Pop!

Underneath an ancient pine tree where Wang Yuan in his true form was playing Go against Huang Wu, he nonchalantly placed a piece.

The game, which had seemed precarious due to his sister’s relentless attacks, suddenly came to life with that one move, showing signs of even turning the tables on the opponent’s Great Dragon.

"The die is cast! A standoff of equal strength and an exceedingly fierce battle over Mang Mountain are now inevitable.

Once all the snowflakes start to tremble, there’s nothing that can stop an avalanche from happening.

When the fervor of war engulfs every individual, even the will of the high-ups will be completely caught up.

When the sunk costs become intolerable pain, no one can stop those gamblers blinded by rage, desperate to take down the opponent to recoup their losses!

And I, Boss Wang..."

Wang Yuan looked at the resulting Beimang Blessed Land development plan with satisfaction, nodding his head contentedly:

"I’m just an unremarkable Landlord, that’s all."
