Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 309 Duan Huaige: Since you won't let me live, then none of us should live!
"As for Zhang Zhiyao and me, it's probably because we have traces of the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers in our bodies that you targeted us and marked us."

After all, to create the Landscape Map, one must have the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers!
Zhang Zhiyao was completely bewildered. Mountain and river spiritual energy? When did I ever come into contact with this stuff?

She had no idea that when Duan Huaige imprisoned her in the Landscape Painting and gave her a beating, she had accidentally absorbed the spiritual energy of the landscape.

Of course, Qin Shuangjiang's body had also been imbued with the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers, but at that time, Zhang Tianshi already had two vessels, so there was no need to forcibly search for a third. After all, as a sword cultivator, Qin Shuangjiang's divine sense was extremely sharp, and if she discovered any clues, it would only create more trouble.

Zhang Tianshi's originally calm expression finally wavered upon hearing the words "spiritual energy of mountains and rivers." He lowered his eyes sadly, gave a self-deprecating smile, and a trace of helplessness flashed across his aged face.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place," he sighed, before swiftly locking the Zen Buddhist disciple Wuxiang and Kunlun Lin Zhaoran next to their respective four protective objects.

"Master Zhang, you!"

The two were both shocked and furious; at this moment, they could clearly see that the situation had taken a turn for the worse.

Duan Huaige was right! Twist after twist, and in the end, the final boss is still you! Isn't the rule of the underworld that once you've been redeemed, you can't turn evil again? How come you've gone through a second evil turn!

Oh my god, how could this Taoist priest be so wicked!

The Buddhist disciple and the Kunlun prodigy, both betrayed in succession, were numb, seemingly having lost all their strength and abilities. Qin Shuangjiang was spared from being locked up because she immediately trusted Duan Huaige's judgment.

Master Zhang slowly said, "That's right. My goal is to refine the incomplete map into the Mountain and River Map, but I cannot withstand the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers, so I have to find another way."

"I had given up all hope, but fate brought you to my attention. It is destiny! Destiny cannot be defied!"

This astonishing second reversal left everyone outside the Mirror of Heaven speechless. If Zhang Tianshi, who had just been embroiled in scandal and suffered a public fallout, successfully cleared his name and even gained some fans by pulling back from the brink, then he now seems to have become a completely different figure from those recorded in history.

Historically, Zhang Tianshi was an upright and incorruptible man, righteous and awe-inspiring. He dedicated his life to slaying demons and protecting the common people. However, when he encountered the temptation of successfully refining the Mountain and River Map within the Karma Array, he failed to uphold his principles and chose to manipulate innocent people into his scheme. He even used the guise of righteousness to morally blackmail Duan Huaige and others into becoming tools for him to refine the Mountain and River Map.

Longhushan executives: "."

Old Celestial Master: "."

On the surface, he pretended to be calm and collected, as if everything was under control, but in reality, the old master was also panicking.

No, this isn't quite what I planned. I just wanted to uncover the secrets behind the fragments of the Jiangshan Sheji Tu (Map of Mountains and Rivers), to change some people's views on the Jiangshan Sheji Tu in Longhu Mountain, and incidentally, to lure Taiqing into the trap. Ideally, I'd like to use Duan Huaige and Zhang Tianshi to keep her inside.

Who knew the 51st Celestial Master would go to such lengths?

Originally, we only wanted to make things difficult for the Celestial Master's Mansion, with the 51st Celestial Master bearing the blame. But now, with this development, they're not just going to bear any blame, they're practically going to be completely destroyed!

They want him to team up with Taiqing to crush Taiqing? He almost teamed up with Taiqing to crush Duan Huaige just now!
Why don't we just shut down the Heavenly Mirror right away? We can just say we're short on spirit stones!
Duan Huaige replied calmly to Zhang Tianshi's words, "This is not the will of Heaven, but your greed that has led to your downfall." "What do you know!" Zhang Tianshi's originally kind face turned ferocious. "The Mountain and River Map represents the master of the world. It can control life and death, reverse reincarnation, and achieve immortality. With the Mountain and River Map, anything is possible!"

"As long as I can successfully refine it, I will become the king of the new world. These disasters are nothing!"

Duan Huaige: ?

No, how come I didn't know that the Landscape Painting had such amazing effects? Did you watch a pirated copy or did I watch a pirated copy?

"Wake up, Master Zhang! Stop being so stubborn!" Duan Huaige advised, "It's not too late for you to turn back now."

"I don't need any so-called clarity of mind. Do you really think the few of you can stop me?"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Zhiyao's icy voice suddenly rang out: "Old man, you think I'm being too polite!"

She slowly stood up, and her broken legs repaired themselves at an incredible speed, quickly returning to normal. She silently clenched her fists, feeling the power transmitted through the demonic seed, her expression growing increasingly cold.

"You are...no...you are not!" Zhang Tianshi sensed the aura within the other party and said in a deep voice, "What kind of sorcery are you using!"

"Enough with the nonsense." Taiqing stretched out his arms, a crazy smile appearing on his lips. "My patience is limited, and you've already wasted your only chance."

"Next, I will trap you inside my Heavenly Demon Soul Banner and make you wish you were dead!"

As Taiqing used the body of the Black Heart Little Celestial Master to begin attacking Zhang Celestial Master. This scene of Longhu Mountain disciples beating the former Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain left the onlookers speechless, seemingly still not understanding what was going on.

No, wasn't she just lying on the ground with a broken leg? How did she suddenly become so fierce?
Moreover, according to Zhang Zhiyao, she plans to use the Heavenly Demon Banner to take their Heavenly Master into custody. Isn't that a bit too much?

"Idiot, haven't you realized yet? Aunt Yao Yao has been possessed! The body inside her isn't being controlled by her own consciousness at all!"

The Heavenly Demon Banner grew longer in the wind, its shadow sweeping across the sky, its shrill cries enough to shake the very soul. Taiqing, his body ablaze with red light, relentlessly pounded Zhang Tianshi's protective golden light, causing the already exhausted Zhang Tianshi to cough up mouthfuls of blood. His counter-attack with the Five Thunder Orthodox Technique also sent tremors through Taiqing's soul, leaving it trembling like a candle in the wind, on the verge of being extinguished.

Her true form did not come; she descended only through the seed of demonic thought. In this state, she could only fight to a draw with Zhang Tianshi after he had exhausted his lifespan.

Faced with such a terrifying battle scene, Duan Huaige had already pulled Qin Shuangjiang into his Mountain and River Map and hid her there. Then, under the cover of the Mountain and River Map, he circled around and secretly ran towards the well, braving the aftershocks of the battle.

He glanced at the two locked in fierce combat, shook his head, and sighed inwardly.

Celestial Master, I just advised you to turn back sooner, you don't think I was bluffing you, do you...? It's obvious that Taiqing won't be sent off the battlefield by you like that!
If this kid didn't have some hidden cards up his sleeve, she wouldn't have been so hard to kill!
Duan Huaige withdrew his gaze, revealing a resolute look, and continued to slide towards the well with unwavering determination. In the current situation, whether Zhang Tianshi or Taiqing wins, they are both doomed.

If that's the case, then none of us should live!
