Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 403 - 400: Crush the Bandits! Crush the Bandits!

Chapter 403: Chapter 400: Crush the Bandits! Crush the Bandits!

The demons were familiar with the "Ghost Realm·Phoenix Coming" before them.

On Chinese Valentine’s Day, it had shown great divine power along with the "Ying Huo Star Lord."

It had consecutively slain four terrifying entities—Sa Pan An, Matchmaker, The Coupled Immortals, and Magpie Bridge—which even they didn’t dare to provoke, saving the entire city of Yunjing.

Only now did they truly see the face of the master of the Ghost Realm.

The majority of demons from the two major Taoist lineages, aside from the expected amazement and resentment, showed no other abnormalities.

Xue Jiexi, who was mixed in with the group, along with some others who had participated in the "Huo Langlong" plan years ago, simultaneously narrowed their pupils.

They recognized the true identity of the bridal bride at first sight and couldn’t help exclaiming in unison:

"You are... Princess Yunhe?! You’ve joined the ’Nine Soldiers’ and even became a Yellow Seal Mage?"

Although her presence was already noted in the intelligence related to Dengzhou Prefecture.

Never had they imagined that today, under such circumstances, they would meet this victim they had once terribly wronged again.

After sixteen years.

This fragile girl who, under the indication from Zhou Wenrui, they had deliberately sent to the Luoyang King as an "elixir,"

had, after taking up the Ghost Path, stood before them in a whole new manner, gripping the life and death of each one of them firmly in her hands!

The greatest irony in this Divine Deceit World is nothing but this.

Killing is not the end, the cycle of reincarnation is.

"Daoist Skill," a power that allows one to retain immense strength unto oneself, also grants the weak endless possibilities.

It is enough to tear apart layers of shackles made of power, wealth, authority... among other things in reality.

It makes the power dynamic between the parties turn in a fantastical and drastic manner.

Although unlikely, it is not entirely impossible.

Murder, imprisoning a mother, ruining her family’s world—behind each of these vile acts lurked the influence of Xue Jiexi and the "No-Life Dao."

Clearly, today was not just for avenging injustices for the nation or the human moral code, but also to settle old personal scores!

Huang Wu, seeing the last few of her enemies in this life still alive, was surprisingly magnanimous.

Especially toward Xue Jiexi, the direct manager of all the evil deeds, she nodded with a smile that seemed unintentional:

"Mr. Xue, it really has been a long time!

The scene of you teaching me painting and calligraphy at King Jing’s Mansion still seems vivid in my mind.

I heard you have been investigating the truth behind the massacre at Xue Mansion? Also trying to trace where the grains and armors accumulated by generations of the Xue family have gone, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Jiexi’s body trembled violently, his face instantly clouding over.

As expected, the disturbances originally reported by the Imperial Dragon Guard were not just random acts but were orchestrated murders!

And they were the perpetrators!

Seeing his face, Huang Wu smiled wickedly like a witch playing with hearts:

"Oh, by the way, the one who killed your son Xue Donglou wasn’t the Yellow Robed Child; it was us.

The ’Three Corpses Worm Divine Skill’ really is a fine Daoist Skill!"

Xue Jiexi’s face turned ice-cold as if frost could be scraped off, veins bulging on his forehead as if he might attack at any moment.

Huang Wu, seemingly not satisfied, winked at him and waved two slender fingers:

"Rest assured, he died very restlessly both times we killed him!

In the end, not even a soul was left."

"Damn wench! Kill her for me!"

However, this old fox, accustomed to caution, even in his rage didn’t lose his reason or expose himself to danger.

Instead, with a large wave of his hand, the great steward from the "Military Leader" class, Xue Ping, along with two other skilled fighters who sided with him,

immediately carried a bone-chilling murderous aura as they rushed forward.

"Tsk! These old foxes really are no fun."

The next moment.

From the artifact mirror in Huang Wu’s arms, a droplet seemed to fall onto the mirror surface, rippling outward.

Then it broke through the mirror, sweeping towards the other side.

Moon in the Water and Flower in the Mirror, sensory overload!

A massive influx of garbage information transmitted from the public dream invaded the minds of several individuals, distorting everything they saw, heard, smelled, and felt—

especially effective against those whose emotions were already in violent flux.

Both the charging "Military Leaders" and the silently retreating Xue Jiexi instantly experienced sensory disorder.

In their ears, they faintly heard a distorted light shout:

"Please, darling, turn around!"

The two seasoned fighters, driven by deep-seated reflexes, dived to the ground instinctively and fortunately evaded the attack.

Xue Jiexi and Xue Ping, who were less accustomed to battle formations, weren’t as lucky.

A large pair of scissors faintly flickered in midair.

Click!

The "Dragon and Phoenix Separation and Reunion Scissors" easily took away half of Xue Ping’s shoulder and also neatly snipped their main target, Xue Jiexi... into two parts!

Blood and organs spilled everywhere.

"Ah—! I don’t want to die!

I am the leader of civil servants, with followers and old subordinates all over the world, my son is the Living World Bright King, I am still useful, save me, save me!"

This chief minister no longer possessed his usual profound and steadfast demeanor.

The scream of one man overpowered all the dead magicians.

A mortal, even when bisected at the waist, could survive for two or three hours.

With the strong life force of a "Military Leader", Xue Jiexi could wail for three full days and nights after being bisected and still might not die.

But this treacherous, snake-like schemer was destined to end here.

The long years of peace had made him forget that he had committed heinous acts by harming the loyal and good, selling official titles, embezzling military pay, and indulging his son who was like a rabid dog...

That’s why there had been no retribution.

It wasn’t because of his own "Military Leader" level strength, or because his power dominated the court, renowned for silencing even crying infants.

It was because of the "Dragon Qi Prohibition" protecting the human path, because of his crimson official robe as the head civil servant of the Great Yan Dynasty!

Regrettably, he had personally torn all of this to shreds!

Mistaking platform for strength, his downfall was only a matter of time.

And with Huang Wu’s cut, the harvest by the "Immortal Officials" was fully initiated.

Ying Huo Star Lord, Guo Feihu, pulled out his "Lifebound Magic Treasure: Fire Qilin Mace," and Broom Star Lord, Xin Ruoheng, pulled out his "Lifebound Magic Treasure: Stardust Broom."

Both transformed into a magnificent rainbow and pounced on the Yellow Seal Mages who were desperately trying within the "Dragon Qi Prohibition."

"I’ll take on ten!"

"I’ll take on twenty!"

A bloodbath ensued in an instant.

Behind them, Wine Star Lord, Du Sanbei, who had finally fully activated the effects of "Thousand-Day Drunk" and escaped from a dangerous situation, softly chanted:

"I, merely a drunk guest in the mortal world, pride accompanying flesh, good and evil serving as wine.

Seek not fame nor fortune, but a single defeat; the sword is drawn, who dares to battle?"

The rusty iron sword at his waist clanged as it was drawn, but in a blink of an eye, it transformed into a chillingly sharp divine blade.

"Earth Department Taoism: Great Drunkenness of Life Technique"

It was somewhat a combination of "Inverted Chaos Heaven Technique" and "Moon in the Water and Flower in the Mirror."

While drunk, one could blur the lines between drunkenness and sobriety, utterly deceiving oneself and the "Divine Power Talisman" within one’s body.

If one deceives oneself into believing that they could dominate a brothel overnight, becoming a hero of the rouge market, then it could indeed be done;

If one deceives oneself into being a Casanova untouched amidst myriad flowers, an unrivaled fierce general, or a greatly articulate scholar... that is equally within reach.

Even if one believes they are invincible in the world, to "a certain extent" it remains unproblematic.

At this moment, as Du Sanbei firmly believed he was an unmatched sword immortal, an incredibly sharp aura suddenly burst forth from him.

Even Red Lotus and Fanglin Master, originally on par with him and also in the "Divine Transformation" realm, couldn’t help but drastically change their expressions.

"Hahaha, I’ll only take on two! Ten thousand! Ten thousand!"

"Earning high merits through battle, becoming an immortal; my spirit stirs my intestines. Once the Zen barrier suddenly breaks, the beauty is like jade, the sword like a rainbow! Die for me!"

The bright white sword light flashed explosively, encircling both "Divine Transformation" realm mages into the battle.

Simultaneously.

Seeing that those sect allies were unreliable and preparing to lead his "Daoist Soldiers" into the city, "Martial Saint" Zhou Xinglou was also forced to halt his steps.

A flash of silver light fell before him, with a tall figure in silver armor standing imposingly.

Zhou Xinglou furrowed his brow and then relaxed it, scoffing disdainfully through his nostrils:

"I thought Green Seal Sage had come again with the ’Nine Soldiers.’

A mere ’Military Leader,’ do you also qualify to withstand this ’Martial Saint’?"

Though the sudden crisis had unexpectedly closed the doors of "Three Yang Small Realm," trapping some of the thirty-six camps’ "Daoist Soldiers" inside,

the mere three camps of nine thousand men that Zhou Xinglou had with him, combined with his "Martial Saint" strength, were more than enough to sweep through everything.

Wang Yuan’s avatar of Taibai slowly turned around, staring directly at this man who should have been the least likely to betray, and shouted:

"Where is Hongying?"

A female general whose aura closely resembled hers appeared at her right hand, fist in palm, responding:

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Where is Lingxiao?"

A nearly ten-foot-tall ghost general in black armor appeared at her left hand, fist in palm, responding:

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Where are the loyal spirits and righteous bones who died in battle for the Great Yan Dynasty over the past 276 years?"

Wuu wuu wuu...

A dark and gusty wind suddenly exploded.

Two thousand White Tiger Elite Soldiers, one thousand five hundred Long Water Soldiers, and three thousand Feather Forest Guards appeared one after another.

Each over eight feet tall, clad in dark battle armor adorned with raging wave patterns, and wearing fierce ghost masks,

a total of six thousand five hundred Netherworld Ghost Soldiers, with long spears and great halberds, stood like a forest, their fierce aura soaring to the heavens.

With a tilt of their great halberds, they simultaneously stepped forward, directing a thunder-like roar at Zhou Xinglou, this chief traitor and rebel leader:

"Purge the traitor! Purge the traitor! Purge the traitor!"

As the expression of the "Martial Saint" changed and those treacherous "Daoist Soldiers" behind him were also slightly startled,

Taibai’s avatar crushed the "Talisman: King Jialouluo" in her hand.

Shouting out loud:

"Ten Thousand Enemies Technique: Sea Accepts All Rivers, activate!"
