Chapter 226: Chapter 202: What about you? You deserve to die! (Request for monthly ticket)

Boom rumble rumble.

The void trembled, and the valley roared.

Looking up, one could see densely packed cold lights and shadows of armor appearing on the peaks surrounding the valley.

Horses neighed long and loud, and shouts rang out as streaks of light flew into the sky from all directions, with banners fluttering wildly, as if to cover the sky and block out the sun, encircling the valley.

On four hilltops, four figures in various colors of armor violently landed from afar. Then, with a sonorous shout, their bodies suddenly shot up to thirty or forty zhang in height. The left side’s Demon Suppression Guards, which are the four Deputy Generals, two Record Officers, and two garrison commanders under Pei Yanhu, revealed themselves.

Four Heavenly Pass Tao Seeds, arrayed on all sides, took out the sealed Taoist Soldiers from the arsenal: a pair of Weng Gold Hammers, a Bright Silver Spear, a Coiling Dragon Black Fire Stick, and a Green Gold Long Handle Horse-Cutting Saber.

"Slash!"

The four Deputy Generals, each with a different stature but all with fierce expressions, simultaneously struck towards Li Chen of the Li family, who was leaping to his feet.

One wielded the Weng Gold Hammer, smashing down with red sparks, the hammer surged magnificently with a sound of dragon’s chant, and a seven or eight zhang long fire dragon, with scales and crimson eyes, emerged fiercely from the flames.

Another whirled the Bright Silver Spear with skill, creating a sky filled with bright silver spear glows, then with a sudden thrust forward, whoosh whoosh whoosh, the silver spear glows surged tumultuously, whistling through the air.

The remaining two, one transformed the Thunder Fire Stick into a large club and smashed down fiercely, and another slashed out a green Sword Qi, turning it into a thin green line, shooting through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the four generals, wielding Taoist Soldiers from the Martial Vault, enhanced their might and struck together, shaking the valley and sending rocks flying.

And at the center of the onslaught of the fire dragon, sword light, club, and spear glow, the Li family’s House Servant, Li Wuchang, sensing the situation going south, had leaped up to the mouth of the valley. Tens of zhang above his head were the rapidly enclosing Flying Banners, swiftly covering the sky of the valley.

There was still a hundred zhang wide opening that was not sealed!

Seeing the surging Spirit Light from all sides, his face remained unchanged, and a hint of mocking emerged between his brows. With a sweep of his arms, a blood-colored Moon Gold Wheel condensed in his hands.

Then, rolling the Blood Wheel below his feet, it began spinning rapidly, slicing through the air, emitting a piercing screech, with a blood trace emerging, followed by a swift turn.

As if it were the center, it rolled around in a three zhang radius, revealing a crimson circle floating in the void.

It was like magma surfacing from the cracks in the earth’s crust!

The four beams of Spirit Light arrived in an instant, just as they were about to cross the red line.

"Clang"

A clang resounded.

The four beams of Spirit Light seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall of Qi, and the Li family’s House Servant stayed unharmed within the light circle.

The expressions of the four Deputy Demon Suppression Guards on the left changed slightly, and their faces contorted with rage as they shouted loudly, their inner Qi exploding, causing sharp bursts of Qi around their bodies. The Taoist Soldiers in their hands were imbued with True Qi, the four columns of Spirit Light intensified, attempting to break through the red light circle.

However, the light circle was as if it could calm storms, no matter how fierce the outer tumult, it remained tranquil inside. Following that, Li Wuchang stomped his foot, and the red light circle beneath spun up a crimson wind, whirling up and sending out an aura of violent and murderous energy.

Subsequently, the crimson wind spread out like ink infiltrating water.

Wherever it passed, the four Spirit Lights seemed to be fixed in place, showing a myriad of cracks.

In an instant.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"....."

They shattered between heaven and earth.

Having done all this, Li Wuchang’s gaze intensified, grinning at the burly figure dressed in a red-embellished, gold-banded helmet and draped in a beast-faced armor standing at the valley, showing a mocking smile.

"Lord Pei, who would have thought that you, once a great Overseer, have fallen to such a state, only left with these people to make up the numbers. Wait till I finish off that Nine Colonel, then I’ll meet with you, the Demon Suppression Envoy, but by then, I’m afraid it won’t just be me alone."

"Hehe," he sneered coldly, his body shot towards the sky, flying towards the gap that had yet to be sealed.

But in the next second, the skies above the gap jumped out a silver electric arc, which crackled intensely, with lightning leaping and stretching, forming a silver screen.

Images flickered upon it!

It was the merciless killing of the Zhao Family’s young master by this Li family’s House Servant!

As these images emerged, Li Wuchang’s fleeing light suddenly stopped, his slight smile turned into a frown, his brows and eyes twitched violently, a venomous glint flashing in his eyes.

With a "whoosh", a streak of blood light shot out, violently striking the silver screen flickering with thunder, completely shattering it.

Nevertheless, the scattered lightning then reassembled, condensing into a human form.

With electricity coalescing into a solid figure, Pei Yanhu appeared amidst the silver flashes, raising his hand with a bolt of lightning leaping within, quickly swelling to the size of a palm and then congealing into a sphere, occasionally flashing images inside.

This Divine Skill is called the Thunder Shadow Record.

It’s a minor Divine Skill within the Thunder Skill that can store and record images through lightning.

With bright silver lightning flickering in his eyes, he looked down from a superior position, his voice like muffled thunder: "I told you, you won’t escape today!"

Following that, his eyebrows shot up and his voice boomed like thunder, "No matter now or in the future, as the Envoy, I don’t care whether you’re from the Central Plains Court or those Cave Heaven Blessed Lands. Should you ever scheme against my soldiers or trample on the dignity of The Overseers, even if I, Pei Yanhu, am to die, I will take all of you vermin down with me."

"Temples with ceaseless incense, brothels rampant with obscenity.

The music of court and market, horns and sheng pipes, played beneath bright lanterns.

Underneath lavish blooms, all are but gutless rats.

When the Devil Race break through the gates, the common folk weep in sorrow.

Yet there are still passersby who unsheathe their swords, their righteous blood surging through the gates.

And bandits too, with furrowed brows, igniting fire in defiance.

My hundred thousand soldiers, shedding blood on the battlefield,

And what about you?

You all deserve to die!"

The rolling anger echoed, shaking the heavens and earth, deafening and overwhelming.

Then, Pei Yanhu roared, "Come forth!"

"Present!"

Pei Yanhu’s pale-yellow eyebrows raised, and the silver thunder orb in his hand flew towards the north. His voice carried mighty authority, "Spread word of the evil deeds of this Li family’s lackey to Jingguan City. Let them witness the end of wrongdoers!"

Jingguan City has become unprecedentedly prosperous due to the Devil Race breaking through the gates, with tens of thousands flooding in within mere days. These well-informed individuals were certainly not ordinary citizens; many families with some strength moved as clans to Jingguan City to avoid the calamity of the Devil Race. At night, the fireworks districts were ablaze with lights, the sound of strings and pipes filled the air, creating a scene of opulence that knew no bounds compared to before.

Now, this news had even reached the Central Plains Court. Because of the importance of Luck, some court officials and their descendants had arrived. As this news spreads, just as the Chamberlain had said, more people would come to Shu and to Jingguan City to contend for so-called Luck.

It’s foreseeable that when the time comes, a gathering of forces will ensue, with dragons and fishes jumbled together, and the strong will emerge like clouds. Now, The Overseers, with generals guarding the west and the Twelve Mountain Assault Armies along with the left and right Demon Suppression Guards holding off the Devil Race, are only left with him to command his troops to defend. It’s imaginable that in the future, The Overseers would lose control over Jingguan City.

Yesterday’s conduct by those court’s youngsters is proof enough.

They trespass on Prohibition as if nobody’s land, look down on The Overseers’ soldiers, and this Li family’s House Servant dares to brazenly speak of killing the Nine Colonels.

A bunch of scum that keep quiet in front of the Devil Race, but bare their fangs at their own people.

Fuck you!

Today, he will establish his authority!

As his words echoed, Pei Yanhu’s surroundings suddenly pulsed with silver lightning, the void surged, the sky immediately dazzled with scattered silver light, and the thunder covered the whole valley.

Following that, a ten-plus-zhang-long green lotus ascended slowly amidst the silver sea of thunder.

A terrifying and wild law force emerged with the swaying of the green lotus.

As the green lotus swayed, the thunder sea churned, and amidst the tumultuous waves, a "little fish" of merely three to four feet, covered in purple scales, swam beneath the lotus. Then, with a flick of its tail, it shot out of the thunder sea like an arrow freed from its bowstring, followed immediately by a heaven-shaking thunderous dragon’s roar.

The little purple fish suddenly swelled with purple lightning, transforming like a carassius leaping through the dragon’s gate into a fifty to sixty zhang long Zheng, ferocious thunder dragon. As it opened its jaws and claws, the colors of the heavens and earth shifted, a wild surge of energy poured out, and a bucket-thick purple lightning strike viciously descended upon Li Wuchang.

Thunder sea births a green lotus, carassius leaping through the dragon’s gate.

"Tao Qi Transformation."

Li Wuchang, seeing the evidence of his murder of the Zhao Family’s son captured by Pei Yanhu and about to be made public, had a cold murderous glint in his eyes. But seeing Pei Yanhu manifest the Tao Fruit, his pupils dilated sharply.

Thunder Skill, inherently powerful in its aggressiveness!

Ranked high amongst the myriad Tao Fruits.

The crucial point is that this Deputy Demon Suppression Envoy of The Overseers has already stepped into the Second Layer of the Tao Fruit Realm transformation – Tao Qi Transformation.

The Tao Fruit Realm is divided into three stages!

The first stage is for Taoist Soldiers, Cultivators who, by comprehending the True Meaning of Divine Power, have gone a step further, touched on the threshold of the laws, and can initially harness the forces of heaven and earth to converge with one’s Divine Skills, forming a Dojo.

Within the Dojo, a certain number of Divine Skills and laws can be used, ever-changing, as if controlling a small dominion of heaven and earth.

The second stage, Tao Qi Transformation, simply put, is the form of these intangible Tao into various entities, with immense and unrivaled Divine Skills.

The third stage, forming a Tao Embryo, nurturing one’s Primordial Spirit. Upon reaching this step, one can attempt to ascend to a higher realm at any moment, the Martial Vault.

The Martial Vault, where all five viscera are enlightened, advancing to an extraordinary realm of physical body refinement for Martial Artists!

And Pei Yanhu, he was in the Second Layer of Tao Fruit, the Tao Qi Transformation.

The purple lightning struck by the thunder dragon reached in a flash, as Li Wuchang’s face finally changed, grimacing as he swiftly slashed his Blood Moon Golden Wheel at the purple thunderbolt.

"Hiss hiss....."

The golden wheel spun colliding with the purple thunderbolt emitting ear-piercing sounds as it sliced through the air, sparks of lightning and fire scattered everywhere, and even the smallest of these sparks contained terrifying might.
