The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 226 When the snipe and the clam fight, Zhou Yan benefits.

An Lushan donned his armor and went out in a rage, his anger almost reaching the heavens. He wished he could smash that damned Emperor of the Western Mountain to pieces. When he left, he also took that drop of Chi You's precious blood with him.

He was cunning and suspicious by nature, and he couldn't bear to part with such a precious treasure.

After taking two steps, he stopped.

"No, that Great Emperor of the Western Peak is skilled in transformation techniques and can conceal his aura."

"Last time I fought him, he almost stole the treasure while we were in the chaos. He dared to come again this time, so he must have made thorough preparations. If the treasure is taken from me during the fight..."

An Lushan's fat face twitched.

If this treasure were taken away at this crucial moment, he would die of heartache all over again.

So they put down that drop of precious blood.

Take a few steps.

But soon doubts arose again:
“But if we leave it here, what if the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain breaks in again?”

This monstrous creature must be killed, but its precious blood must not be missed in the slightest.

An Lushan was suspicious by nature, partly because when he was a general in charge of capturing prisoners, he was falsely accused by his colleagues of embezzling spoils of war. Back then, he had hidden his only wolf-skin coat in three layers, but it was still taken away by someone.

He was given thirty lashes.

This precious blood is far more valuable than a wolfskin coat!

An Lushan finally placed the precious blood on the formation, activating the ancient Jiuli Grand Formation. He then dripped his own essence blood into it before feeling at ease, muttering to himself, "This grand formation was used by the ancient War Lord. Apart from the one who set up the formation, only the legendary successor of the War Lord can enter."

"Hmph, the previous generation's successor to the military strategist was Xiang Yu."

"Even that loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Marquis Wen, Lü Bu, only got half a set."

"That half of the set was actually written haphazardly by Zhuge Liang."

"Hmph, who would have thought that Zhuge Liang, who is known as a strategist, actually mastered the second level of the 'Heaven-Swallowing Technique of War and Devastation,' and even forced Phoenix Chick to reach the first level of the beginner stage."

"The initial application of the military commander's power can prevent being ambushed by a thousand arrows."

"When Wei Wu's assassins entered the tent, they were blown away several miles by Zhuge Liang's fan, and landed right in Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's training ground."

"But since them, no one has had this ability."

"In this vast world, there will never be another successor of the Master of War. Only by placing him here can we feel at ease."

An Lushan calmed down, then picked up his weapon and charged out again.

Because of his cunning nature, he deliberately changed his appearance, transforming into a kind old man. He turned a scarlet spear into a carrying pole, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and planned to take the initiative and deliver a surprise blow to Xi Yue's chest.

Only above this ancient formation, a drop of scarlet blood, brimming with karmic essence, slowly and viscously surged, as if it were alive.

Meanwhile, King Jin, having galloped at breakneck speed, finally arrived in the Shu region. This place was blessed with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where the Taoist, Buddhist, and mountain gods and earth deities held sway over each other, and there was no overlord. Perhaps this was the place where his opportunity lay.

The Golden King looked at his palm, which was still as white as jade, exuding the air of a divine general.

But he knew that he had actually become a thousand-year-old mountain spirit.

This dignified demeanor is merely a facade.

"hateful!"

"Dongyue, Zhou Yan, once I regain the recognition of a new mountain range, cultivate my third-grade power, and then I will avenge the humiliation I suffered that day!"

Jin Tianwang strode forward, but before long, he saw a plump old man carrying a shoulder pole in the distance, singing a folk song from Sichuan. When he saw Jin Tianwang, the old man greeted him warmly.

"Oh, young man..."

"You look unfamiliar. Did you just arrive in my territory?"

The Golden Heavenly King looked at the honest old man, seeing his kind and gentle face, and suddenly sneered. The next moment, without hesitation, the Golden Heavenly King thrust his spear directly at the old man's face.

The old man's expression changed drastically. He used his carrying pole to block the blow and said, "What, what are you doing?"

Golden Heavenly King said, "What are you doing?!"

King Jin sneered: "I'm in a bad mood, so I'm killing someone to clear my head."

"Coincidentally, a creature that had disguised itself also arrived."

The old man suddenly dispersed the insects and retreated, reforming into a single figure, which was none other than An Lushan. He originally did not possess such abilities and transformations, but since he had used the miraculous method of insect molting to revive and his entire body was transformed from insects, he gained many more abilities.

An Lushan was furious: "You!"

Jin Tianwang glanced at him and sneered, "You're still just an insect."

"It's probably a fat pig that's blocking the way."

This is the same thing Zhou Yan said to An Lushan when he transformed into him.

An Lushan was certain; it was this guy right in front of him.

Such a face, such arrogance.

"It's really you!!!"

Enraged, An Lushan charged at Jin Tianwang with his blood-red spear, which carried a murderous aura. Jin Tianwang sneered, swinging his spear and attacking An Lushan directly. He was not like Zhou Yan.

He exuded a murderous aura, and his marksmanship had reached an unparalleled level.

When Zhou Yan fought An Lushan, he used only feints.

It was all for the sake of putting on an act.

However, after suffering two major setbacks, the Golden King was seething with anger. When he made his moves, every single one of them was incredibly domineering and aimed at killing. An Lushan only managed to exchange a few blows before realizing the difference. After only ten or so rounds, his hands were already numb.

An Lushan was terrified.

Thinking about it, was the True Lord of the Western Peak testing him last time?
Jin Tianwang glanced at An Lushan, realized something was wrong, slammed down his heavy spear, and said coldly, "Not dead, An Lushan, you're still alive... no... humph, so that's how it is, just a mixture of desires."

This state is one of being resurrected from the dead.

They are still hidden in these mountains and rivers.

There must be treasure inside!

Without hesitation, the Golden King wielded his heavy spear with even greater ferocity and domineering power: "Hand over the treasure!!!"

They really came for Chi You's precious blood!

An Lushan was now certain of his fate. A surge of malice welled up within him, forcing him to withstand the Golden Heavenly King's domineering attack. He gripped his spear with both hands, blocking the fierce blow. His brows were contorted with rage as he roared, "You want my treasure?!"

"Then we'll have to see what you can do."

"Mount Hua in the West, the Great Emperor Jintianyuan!"

After Jin Tianwang proclaimed himself the Great Emperor of Jin Tianyuan of Mount Hua in the West, he was almost immediately stripped of his title as one of the Five Sacred Mountains by the Lord of Mount Tai in the East. He went from being a powerful figure to his current wretched state.

Just like Sun Wukong being called the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses.

Hearing this, he felt that the fat pig was provoking him, and he was furious, his killing intent surging. But he laughed out loud: "Good, good, good!"

"Since you know who I am, why don't you hand over your treasure?"

"court death!"

Both of them were furious. One was certain that this guy was after his treasure. He had made several arrangements for this Chi You blood, so how could he possibly hand it over to him?
The other person thought the fat pig was an eyesore and even loudly provoked it.

They absolutely had to kill the other party.

Jin Tianwang was immediately enraged. He brandished his spear, and the murderous aura of Geng metal erupted and rose behind him. He activated his Dharma form, but instead of expanding it completely, he condensed it and charged towards An Lushan.

An Lushan roared furiously, gripping his spear with both hands, his blood-red aura surging.

This means that the preparations made previously for absorbing Chi You's precious blood have been initially mobilized.

It was as if this place had transformed into a battlefield of hell, with countless twisted battle spirits faintly rushing towards the Golden Heavenly King.

Both men fought with intense rage and murderous intent, unleashing their full power to turn the Qingni Ridge in Sichuan upside down.

The Gengjin Dharma Image Spear swept across the mountain wall, and the dark blue rocks collapsed with a crash. The originally steep ridge was cleaved into several deep ravines, and the broken stones mixed with blue mud rolled into mudflows, filling half of the stream at the foot of the mountain.

An Lushan unleashed a fierce wind by drawing upon the remnants of Chi You's power. His moves were domineering, tearing the ground apart with each strike, leaving behind dark red malevolent energy at the broken edges.

"Don't leave today!"

"Come die!"

"Bring me the treasure!"

These two fought so fiercely that the earth shook and the sky trembled, but they were completely unaware that they were thinking of the same person. Meanwhile, as the spear in the hand of the Golden Heavenly King of the Western Peak was sharp and unpredictable, a single hair was shaken off his magnificent sleeve.

Then, accompanied by the strong wind, it naturally drifted away.

Fly, fly.

He went to the shadow cast by a large rock in the distance, landed among the grass and trees, and suddenly spun around, transforming into a young Taoist. Zhou Yan stretched out his hand, crouched on the rock, and peered outside, but he was caught off guard by a burst of energy that slashed through him, cutting off a section of his sideburns.

The young Taoist priest gasped and pulled his head back.

"You two are really fighting like your lives depend on it. It's not that bad."

"As for it?"

The young Taoist priest spoke with regret, but also with a hint of schadenfreude.

beat!
Play well!
This Sichuan region is often shrouded in fog and miasma.

This area was originally just a light blue miasma that clung to the mountains, but after being stirred up by the two men's malevolent energy, it split into two halves. On the half closer to the Golden Heavenly King, the miasma was frosty white, and when it touched the rocks, it would freeze into thin ice; on the half closer to An Lushan, the miasma was stained blood red, and when it fell to the ground, it would seep into the soil, turning the blue mud into a blackish-red blood swamp.

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then made a decision to cast a spell, activating the peacock's five elements supernatural powers.

Simply and quietly isolate this place to avoid harming innocent lives.

An Lushan's aura was twisted and vicious; ordinary people would likely suffer if they went in.

Let's rescue Consort Shen as soon as possible.

Then he turned around and headed towards An Lushan's underground palace. When he was almost there, this avatar hid and saw that there were many war demons and monsters guarding the place, and a formation had been set up.

Not to mention Zhou Yan himself, even an insect couldn't fly in.

"This guy actually made some preparations."

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then made a hand gesture. With a turn of his body, he transformed into a rather large, fat man, covered in fat, wearing a suit of armor, with a Taotie-shaped mouth guarding his waist. When he walked, the ground trembled, and the armor clanged and clattered.

It looked exactly like An Lushan. He shook his body and looked at his own appearance.

So ugly.

After the young Taoist priest transformed, he almost tripped after taking only two steps. An Lushan's fat was heavier than he had imagined, and the Taotie waist guard was digging into his ribs, causing pain. He quietly adjusted the waist guard, and his lips twitched.

Damn, this fat guy's size is a bit too inhuman, isn't it?
Zhou Yan looked at him with some disgust, but still pretended to look at him and walked over.

The guards were startled to see An Lushan arrive and instinctively asked, "Lord Jiedushi, why have you returned?"

"So fast?"

These demon warriors were all transformed from the dead members of An Lushan's personal guard, the [Yeluo River]. They still addressed him by his habitual name, 'An Lushan'. He coughed and said in a rough voice, "That so-called Xiyue has been forced back by this military governor. Now I must go back to do my great cause. Quickly activate the formation."

The lieutenant was overjoyed and exclaimed, "The military governor's skill is divine!"

"I imagine that once you circulate the blood of Chi You, your strength will increase dramatically, and you will be invincible throughout the world."

The surrounding demons and monsters from the Fallen River all bowed in unison: "Majestic!"

Zhou Anlushan waved his hand: "Open the great formation."

"promise!"

These war demons manipulated the formation, their light shifting and changing, and the extremely intricate formation was thus activated. Zhou Yan strode in, thought for a moment, and gave the order:
"You all wait here. That guy will definitely come looking for me again later. I will fight him after I break through my cultivation level. At such a crucial moment, we must not let outsiders interfere."

"Later, no matter who comes, they must not be let in."

"Even I am the same, understand?"

"By the way, bring me the array plate of the formation."

The War Demon was a transformed body after Yeluhe died in battle. It still possessed some intelligence, but it was certainly not as sharp as before. Zhou Yan's transformation into An Lushan was identical in appearance and aura. Therefore, they all bowed and said, "Yes!"

"Receive the military order from the military governor!"

Zhou Lushan was satisfied and waved his arm, saying, "Good!"

"Indeed, they are my elite soldiers, truly one in a million fine men!"

"Once I break through to the next level, I will bestow military titles upon each of you!"

An old war veteran, upon hearing An Lushan mention bestowing upon him a military rank, muttered a low murmur: "Rank... rank..."

"The Great Tang Dynasty!"

The other demon soldiers of the Yelu River were overjoyed and knelt on the ground, shouting in unison, "Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"

"We will obey the military governor's orders and guard the great formation!"

"No matter who comes, they cannot get in."

Zhou Lushan turned around and saw the atmosphere of battle in the distance.

Then, with a flick of his battle robe and carrying his bulky body, he calmly went inside.

When I left, the fat on my stomach was jiggling.

The young Taoist priest's lips twitched, and he forcefully lifted the waist support below his stomach.

This body is so damn heavy.
