The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 348 I Will Not Disgrace This Body

The roar of the ancient dragon turtle was like a thunderclap.

Jin Tianwang watched Zhou Yan, who was forging a divine weapon. The latter held fragments of the divine weapon and materials, and water and fire converged, requiring him to concentrate fully. At this moment, he did not have enough mental energy to defend himself.

On the other side is the colossal Primordial Dragon Turtle, bearing the divine power of Gonggong and boundless blood and energy, renowned for its unparalleled defense.

The malevolent energy on Jin Tianwang's body transformed into the energy of Geng metal.

Then, without hesitation, he struck Zhou Yan in the back!
With a flick of his sleeve, Zhou Yan activated the azure sword lotus mark on the hem of his clothes, transforming it into streams of sword energy that swirled around him—this was the manifestation of Li Taibai's sword intent, which could protect him.

He then activated the [Tengdie Diagram] with his mind, and golden butterflies fluttered and danced outside the clear sword energy, leaving bright traces, thus protecting him with two treasures.

Seeing this, the ancient dragon turtle finally felt at ease.

Just as he was about to promise more, he saw the Golden Heavenly King's sword energy attacking Zhou Yan, who was tempering his divine weapon. Another, even more domineering and powerful Gengjin evil energy transformed directly into a long spear, viciously piercing through the eyes of the Primordial Dragon Turtle.

Zhou Yan's forging and tempering process was hindered and disrupted by the Golden Heavenly King's sword energy. Meanwhile, the Primordial Dragon Turtle also absorbed a highly condensed Geng Metal evil energy, making the entire situation even more uncontrollable.

The Golden King raised his sword and sneered:

"I will naturally retrieve the treasure myself, but I will kill you as well."

"And what are you!?"

The Golden Heavenly King lifted the ancient Taoist sword, and layers of Taoist talismans on the sword lit up. Pointing the sword at the Primordial Dragon Turtle, he sneered, "Your flesh and blood, and your tortoise shell, seem to be excellent treasures as well."

"Why don't you hand it over to me as well?"

"If you offer it on your knees, I might not be unable to accept it."

The Golden King's choice is—

I want them all!
I want treasures, but I also want a joyful mind and clear thoughts!

The ancient dragon turtle was furious, stirring up waves. The Golden Heavenly King flicked his finger and sent out streams of Geng metal evil energy to intercept and hinder Zhou Yan's progress in refining and forging the divine weapon. At the same time, the Geng metal evil energy transformed into a Dharma form, holding a long spear and blasting down.

The innate Geng metal energy, which could destroy anything, collided with the enormous tortoise shell. A layer of extremely rich and powerful azure water elemental energy flowed on the tortoise shell. Metal and water complemented each other, and part of the Geng metal evil energy of the Golden Heavenly King was directly neutralized.

The remaining Geng metal evil energy bombarded the tortoise shell, only creating ripples. The Primordial Dragon Turtle was also at the third rank, especially skilled in defense and blood circulation. Now, with the divine power of Gonggong, its shell defense was unparalleled.

The Golden Heavenly King's Gengjin evil energy spear was shattered, exploding into brilliant arcs of light. The immense recoil caused the Golden Heavenly King's wrist to tremble with excruciating pain. His eyes were fixed on the dragon turtle, and the ancient sword in his hand was sharp and emitted a whistling sound.

………………

Golden Heavenly King activated his Dharma form, attacking Zhou Yan on one hand and the Primordial Dragon Turtle on the other.

This forced the original two-way battle into a three-way melee, with the sword energy colliding with the butterfly of the [Tengdie Diagram], creating golden ripples that were like thunder.

All the Xuan officials in Langzhong City could see the battle twenty miles away.

A look of extreme human struggle and helplessness appeared on the face of the thousand-year-old white ape. It realized that the Primordial Dragon Turtle was in an absolutely disadvantageous situation, and it was impossible to simply wait for the Primordial Dragon Turtle to win the complex battle and ensure the success of the Gonggong lineage.

Continuing to wait is nothing more than sitting and waiting to die.

The white ape gazed at the surging primordial energy in the distance, the blood-red baleful aura, and the magnificent spectacle of forging weapons. It then looked at the great sun golden crow dancing on Emperor Jun's divine bell in the sky, watching the ripples spread out and sweep across the entire Langzhong.

Without a doubt, the victory is now at least 70-30.

Zhou Yan's side holds a huge advantage.

As time goes by, this 70/30 advantage will continue to shift in Zhou Yan's favor. Even if there is a battle between Jin Tianwang and Zhou Yan later, by then, Gonggong's lineage will have already been completely defeated.

"...How could this be?"

The white ape clenched his fist, exhaled, and his eyes hardened with determination.

"Supernatural power·Shuiyuan Tongjian!"

He used the method of simulating the Dharma Realm, and his vital energy dissipated and spread throughout the entire city of Langzhong, summoning all the water god's followers in the city to storm into the area where the human population was the largest in a short period of time.

We must kill enough humans in a short time to use their blood and souls to break the seal, and use the blood of Yan and Huang to attract the attention of the water god Gonggong, so that the water god Gonggong can transfer more power, only then will we have a chance of victory.

This is the only chance to turn things around.

The thousand-year-old white ape's eyes swept into the distance, where it could see Di Zhizhen, the leader of the Three Yang Calamity Annihilation Sect, in that gathering place. It hoped that the latter could find a way to cause some trouble there, preferably by using evil methods to cause heavy casualties among the human race.

The white ape still felt a pang of reluctance. Over the past thousand years, he had formed ties with the human race more than once, and unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to let the sword in his hand be stained with too much human blood.

At the very least, I don't want those people to die by his sword.

Meanwhile, in the pharmacy next to the antique shop, Shen Cangming made a decision, Ao Xuantao fought fiercely, and Pei Xuanniao bombarded An Qing'en with the drumming technique he had learned in his youth.

Xuan Zhuzi is undergoing the greatest test of her life.

He was seduced by Di Zhizhen's bewitching arts, but even though he was completely under the spell of this evil magic and his evil thoughts were stirred up, when Xuan Zhuzi opened the packet of precious medicine, he sniffed and almost immediately realized that something was wrong with the herbs.

Huh? This is... a forbidden drug that manipulates the mind and drives people mad?!
If an ordinary person swallows it, they may even suffer from "soul separation syndrome"!
This could lead to tragedies such as mothers killing their children and people eating each other.

Moreover, Xuan Zhuzi recognized this thing. It was discovered during the "Cataclysm of the Reclining Buddha Temple." At that time, under Xi Weizi's guidance, he continuously analyzed the problems of the Reclining Buddha Temple and tried to find out how the monks of the temple fell.

One of the reasons is this medicine.

It was vaguely connected to [Qingming Fangzhu], [Weaver Girl], and the royal family. At that time, Xiweizi remained silent for a long time, not letting Xuanzhuzi continue to analyze. However, Xuanzhuzi never expected that she would see the same medicine here.

His thoughts paused. As a true disciple of the Medicine King, he knew very well what effect this thing would have if added to the medicinal soup he used to replenish the vital energy of the people. This thing only needed a tiny amount of powder, the size of a fingernail, to drive a yellow ox mad.

This bag, overflowing with goodness, could drive tens of thousands of people into a frenzy.

Moreover, these drugs can be transmitted through the blood of corpses.

Xuan Zhuzi's mind was in a complete mess. If he were to add this thing to the alchemy furnace, the medicinal mist that would be released would be enough to destroy the place from the inside. Reason told him that he absolutely could not do that.

But just as my mind was racing, I suddenly felt a soft touch behind me.

Di Zhizhen posted it directly!

The soft, full feeling almost made Xuan Zhuzi's body tremble.

Di Zhizhen wrapped her arms around Xuanzhuzi like a snake, gently biting his earlobe with her lips and blowing air into his ear. Her murmured voice seemed to carry a sticky taste: "Daoist, what's wrong? I did this for everyone."

"If you, Taoist priest, agree to my request and put the medicine in, umm..."

"This humble servant can give you a feeling that you've never experienced before."

Di Zhizhen let out a low groan.

Xuan Zhuzi, a mere Daoist of pure Yang nature, had never undergone such a test.

He slid to his knees almost instantly.

Great! ! !
Xuan Zhuzi reached out with a pleasant smile, intending to put the powder in, when suddenly her left hand reached out and grabbed her right wrist, snapping back to her senses in an instant.

My back was covered in cold sweat.

What a terrifying seduction technique!

I almost made a huge mistake!
Di Zhizhen asked, "What's wrong, Daoist Master..." Xuan Zhuzi felt that his divine will was undergoing a great test. The beautiful woman behind him could arouse the most primal desires of living beings, but she was also like a snake, carrying a deadly chill and danger.

Such skill, such methods, and such a high-level precious medicine—it's at least a sixth-grade, or even fifth-grade realm.

Having just broken through to the next level, and with his realm unstable, and being a non-combat type alchemist, Xuan Zhuzi knew very well that he was no match for this incomparably beautiful and dangerous woman. Whether he cried out in alarm or refused her, he would probably be silenced immediately.

Send a message? There's no time; there's no way to get it out.

Rebellion?!
If he were Xiweizi, he would have been struck by the Daoist's Azure Thunder long ago.

What to do?! What to do?!
Even if you have some kind of supernatural ability, you still need to withstand the opponent's first move and not be instantly killed.

Grandmaster, why wasn't your tiger spirit passed down?

Disciple, disciple is about to collapse...

But amidst this danger, there was a soft sound of the door being pushed open.

The pharmacy door was pushed open, and a little girl timidly peeked in. Her face was thin and not very pretty, with many freckles, but her eyes were still bright.

"Brother Daoist, someone is injured. Do you have any medicine?"

She carried a faint smell of blood. In that instant, she seemed like a variable. Xuan Zhuzi and Di Zhizhen both sensed the opportunity for change, and a cold glint appeared in Di Zhizhen's heart.

If Xuanzhuzi could find a way to get this little girl to go out and deliver the message...

No, or rather, if he used this little girl as a human shield, he could avoid her first move.

The possibility also flashed through Xuan Zhuzi's mind in an instant.

He could use the aura of this little girl to draw attention to himself, and then use the profound techniques of Taoism to hide behind her before launching an attack or escaping. He could do it all, with a peerless beauty behind him and an ordinary little girl in front of him.

Xuan Zhuzi's eyes flashed with a desire to survive, and with a frenzied urge to act. The little girl saw that the Taoist's face was flushed, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his eyes were cloudy, unlike the clear ones before. They even looked somewhat ferocious, and she was a little scared.

Ke Xuanzhu clenched her fist tightly, enduring the excruciating pain and the burning desire that scorched her flesh.

His voice was still gentle and calm as he inquired about the situation.

They didn't let the girl inform Li Zhenyue, and they didn't involve her.

He thought of other ways to send messages.

In the end, Xuan Zhuzi simply took out a medicine packet and handed it over: "Go."

He didn't say much.

But Di Zhizhen had no intention of letting go of the little girl who saw her. However, just as she was getting angry, the little Taoist Xuan Zhuzi opened the precious medicine and said, "Beautiful sister, let me, the little Taoist, refine this properly."

"Such good medicine cannot be made in such a furnace."

"Little Taoist priest, you have plenty of good treasures here."

Di Zhizhen's heart stirred. Thinking of the true teachings of the Medicine King, she realized they must be extraordinary. She didn't think it was worth a mere mortal child to stir up the young Taoist's passion. So she smiled and asked, "Oh? What is it?"

Xuan Zhuzi said, "But after this treasure is completed, my beautiful sister will have to compensate me properly."

Di Zhizhen smiled charmingly: "Of course, hurry up."

Xuan Zhuzi's face flushed red, his eyes gleaming with desire. Holding the precious medicine, he said, "Such a precious medicine cannot be made from ordinary metals. I have a fine treasure." Di Zhizhen looked at him, and Xuan Zhuzi looked at her, when suddenly their movements quickened.

He tilted his head back and swallowed the entire packet of this addictive, evil medicine!
Di Zhizhen guessed that Xuan Zhuzi recognized the medicinal herbs, but she also knew that the young Taoist priest had been under the influence of a powerful bewitching spell. A person consumed by desire would do anything when their lust was raging. She was wary of Xuan Zhuzi asking for help or doing anything else.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Zhuzi actually swallowed the medicine!

Isn't he afraid of dying?!

Xuan Zhuzi's face instantly turned red, and the veins on his face and neck bulged as he said, "You secretly drugged him, which just means that your strength is no match for Li Zhenyue's formation, right?!"

"You won't have a second dose of this precious medicine, right?"

Xuan Zhuzi clutched his chest, his eyebrows raised, and said sternly:
"I am fond of women, but I am also a disciple of the Venerable Master Miaoying, Sun Simiao."

"Such a precious medicine!"

"I will use my own body as a furnace to contain you. If you intend to use this medicine to kill these 300,000 people, then I am the antidote for these 300,000 people of the Great Tang!"

Xuan Zhuzi suddenly strode forward, then suddenly grabbed Di Zhizhen's waist tightly. Ignoring everything else, he took a large, forceful bite of the beautiful sect leader's chest, finding it smooth and slippery—finally, it was…

A clear and enlightened mind!

Damn it, it was worth dying for!

Then he fell backward onto his back, lost consciousness, bled from all seven orifices, and curled up in pain.

However, he deliberately used the superior Taoist secrets passed down by Sun Simiao.

He forcibly swallowed this medicine, which was powerful enough to distort and destroy ancient demonic beasts, and forcibly refined it. The deadly poison entangled his limbs and bones like a venomous snake, reaching up to his soul. Before Xuan Zhuzi could completely fall into the boundless purgatory, he had only one last thought left.

"…………fine."

He thought—

Fortunately, the medicines for the other medicine furnaces had already been prepared.

Even if he dies, it won't affect anyone else. As long as the medicine is prepared according to the formula he left behind, the negative effects of a long period of slumber can be suppressed to the minimum...

Disciple, you haven't disgraced me...

Di Zhizhen's face flushed red with anger. Looking at the teeth marks on her body, she was so angry that a sharp sword appeared in her hand, intending to cleave Xuan Zhuzi into a bloody mist and use his blood as medicine. But just as she made her move, a faint sigh came from here.

Di Zhizhen was suddenly startled. When she turned her head, she saw the spirit of a woman dressed in palace attire, elegant and beautiful, appear there. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. It was not a bewitching technique, but it could make everyone's souls be captivated.

Xuan Zhuzi's aura plummeted, naturally attracting other experts to appear here.

Only by using one's life as a furnace can a message be conveyed.

Di Zhizhen's face was pale:
"...Three mountains overseas?!"

Using the senses left from their previous encounter, the thousand-year-old white ape saw from afar that the aura representing the leader of the Three Yang Calamity Sect was beginning to disappear and collapse. He realized that Di Zhizhen had been captured and might even have perished.

The white ape looked at Li Zhenyue, who was leading his men to block him, and then glanced back at the aquatic creatures behind him.

He finally raised the sword in his hand and looked at the ancient characters on it: "Qing." This sword was forged together with the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, and was a gift given to the Yue woman, A Qing.

Goujian could not share wealth and honor, but he was a good friend in times of crisis.

When Aqing passed away, it was a white ape who saw her off. Aqing gave him her sword. Did the old lady at that time also see his wild nature? The white ape looked up to the sky and howled, its voice like weeping. But it drew another short sword and erased the inscription of the character "Qing" on it.

Regardless of victory or defeat, he is already 'dead' in this battle.

"Ah Qing, Goujian, as expected, we have ultimately gone against the grain."

He paused for a moment, then slashed the sword forward fiercely.

Guide the aquatic life that gathers behind them.

"kill!!!"
