Jiang Ziya, suspended in mid-air by Tang Yu, swayed and asked with a helpless expression, "Fairy, who are you? Why are you capturing me?"
His voice carried a hint of bewilderment and anxiety; in this perilous situation, he couldn't fathom Tang Yu's intentions.
Tang Yu chuckled as he flew forward with Jiang Ziya in his arms.
"Those two controlled Taotie almost caught up with you and Ji Fa."
"By moving you this way, Ji Fa and his Xiqi soldiers will be safe; that's one of my objectives!"
After a pause, a sharp glint flashed in Tang Yu's eyes, and she continued speaking.
"Another reason is that I need to talk to you. Before this is done, I won't allow you to die, nor will I allow you to be caught by Shen Gongbao!"
Seeing the speed at which Tang Yu ascended on his sword, Jiang Ziya was extremely anxious and hurriedly spoke.
“Fairy, since we are both cultivators, we can discuss your matter later.”
Although those two Taotie beasts can't catch up with us, look at their frenzied state; if we don't deal with them, they'll keep charging towards us.
What if innocent civilians get hurt? Can't we deal with these two gluttonous beasts first?
Upon hearing Jiang Ziya's words, Tang Yu's impression of him improved somewhat. He secretly thought that Jiang Ziya had the well-being of all people in his heart and was not a selfish person.
Then, Tang Yu slowly landed on the ground with Jiang Ziya in his arms.
As soon as they landed, Tang Yu quickly pulled out a rope formed from spiritual energy and bound Jiang Ziya's body tightly in a few moments.
"You're the kind of person who loves to sneak away. I'm going to deal with these two gluttons, but don't even think about escaping!"
Tang Yu stared at Jiang Ziya with eyes as sharp as an eagle's, as if he could see through every thought in his heart.
At this, Jiang Ziya's face showed a distressed expression, like a child whose thoughts had been exposed, filled with helplessness.
He really wanted to slip away, after all, he was carrying the Investiture of the Gods, a treasure that concerned the fate of all living beings.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so perceptive that they saw through his thoughts at a glance.
At this moment, Tang Yu threw the bound Jiang Ziya aside, and the two Taotie beasts rushed over, baring their fangs and claws.
Tang Yu remained calm, raised her hand and gently grasped the air, and a sword radiating a chilling light instantly appeared in her hand.
The sword is long and slender, its cold light gleaming, as if it embodies all the sharpness in the world.
Tang Yu gently swung his sword, the blade slicing through the air with a crisp hum, as if declaring war on the two ferocious beasts.
The Taotie roared, pawing the ground with its front paws, kicking up a cloud of dust, before pouncing on Tang Yu like an arrow released from a bow.
One of the Taotie leaped high into the air, its sharp claws aimed straight at Tang Yu's head, while the other circled around from the side, attempting to attack from both sides.
Tang Yu flashed away, dodging the attack with the agility of a ghost. Her figure appeared and disappeared amidst the swirling dust, as if she had become one with the chaotic battle.
Sword shadows spun like a tapestry, flashing with cold light, each swing carrying a powerful surge of spiritual energy.
Her swordsmanship was fierce and unpredictable, sometimes like a whirlwind, sometimes like a dragon emerging from the sea, each move aimed directly at the Taotie's vital points. Although the Taotie was enormous and had thick skin, it gradually began to struggle under Tang Yu's attacks.
As the battle continued, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh.
Sand and gravel rolled, obscuring the sky and the sun, while howling winds swept everything away, as if to overturn the entire land.
In the distance, Shen Gongbao, who was directing the two Taotie statues, had beads of sweat on his forehead. He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, trying to strengthen his control over the Taotie.
However, Tang Yu's attacks became increasingly fierce, and Shen Gongbao found it increasingly difficult to cope.
Seizing the opportunity, Tang Yu leaped high into the air, drawing an arc in the air, and then slashed down with his sword.
This sword strike contained earth-shattering power, instantly pulverizing the bodies of the two Taotie beasts.
The power Shen Gongbao injected was instantly backfired, his face turned pale, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The two Taotie beasts turned into countless fragments, dissipating into the air like dust, leaving behind only a desolate battlefield.
Tang Yu slowly sheathed his sword and turned to look at Jiang Ziya.
At this moment, Jiang Ziya was filled with fear and unease. He wanted to run away. Having just witnessed this fight, he knew all too well just how terrifying the seemingly beautiful and delicate woman in front of him was.
However, ever since the day he took the Investiture of the Gods and descended the mountain, he has lost all his immortal power and is now powerless to escape.
"Fairy, thank you so much for saving me today."
Jiang Ziya forced a smile and said, trying to appear calm.
"We are all on the same path. Your magic power was truly amazing just now. You even managed to break through Shen Gongbao's powerful move."
"Fairy, what do you want to talk to me about? We can discuss it slowly. Would you like to untie the ropes binding me first?"
The voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that the speaker was stalling for time.
Tang Yu naturally knew Jiang Ziya's thoughts. She remained expressionless, stretched out her hand, and gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips, forming a dazzling light.
Then, she directly probed Jiang Ziya's body with her spiritual power and began searching the Investiture of the Gods.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ziya cried out in terror.
“Fairy, I am a disciple of Kunlun Mountain, a student of Yuanshi Tianzun. This Investiture of the Gods is not something you can touch. Fairy, do you intend to make Kunlun Mountain your enemy?”
His voice echoed across the empty battlefield, tinged with panic and urgency.
But by this time, Tang Yu had already discovered the location of the Investiture of the Gods.
Without hesitation, she circulated her spiritual power, condensing a pure spiritual energy, preparing to forcibly remove the Investiture of the Gods from Jiang Ziya's body.
At this moment, Jiang Ziya had no spiritual power and was unable to stop Tang Yu's actions.
However, just as Tang Yu was about to take out the Investiture of the Gods, a sudden change occurred.
The once clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and thick bolts of lightning raging through the clouds.
All the oppressive force surged forth like a raging tide, attacking Tang Yu relentlessly.
Tang Yu felt a chill run down her spine, clearly sensing a powerful pressure hindering her actions.
Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning, carrying earth-shattering power, struck directly at Tang Yu.
At that moment, Tang Yu instantly understood that this was the will of Heaven preventing her actions.
All her intuitions were frantically warning her that Heaven forbade her from touching the Investiture of the Gods.
But Tang Yu was not one to give up easily. She bit her lower lip, a resolute glint in her eyes, and did not stop her actions of retrieving the Investiture of the Gods.
The lightning struck fiercely, and Tang Yu circulated his spiritual power to resist while continuing to draw from the Investiture of the Gods.
In an instant, a massive heavenly tribulation descended, with countless bolts of lightning intertwined, engulfing Tang Yu entirely in the tribulation.
It was a force that seemed to want to tear her to pieces, constantly assaulting her defenses.
Jiang Ziya, who was standing to the side, had already collapsed to the ground in fright, staring wide-eyed in disbelief at the breathtaking scene before him.
Enveloped in the raging lightning, Tang Yu's aura suddenly surged. She let out a loud shout and her palms moved rapidly, instantly tearing open a spatial rift.
Immediately afterwards, powerful phantom images of Yinglong and Phoenix rose from the crack, accompanied by a clear phoenix cry and a deafening dragon roar.
Two powerful forces surrounded Tang Yu, resisting the power of the heavenly tribulation.
Amidst this chaotic situation, a power within Tang Yu was fully unleashed, and her true form as a peach blossom was revealed.
In an instant, petals filled the sky, dazzling amidst the interplay of lightning, dragons, and phoenixes.
As this power awakened, all of Tang Yu's memories returned instantly.
Once faced with a life-or-death crisis, her memories would immediately return. Tang Yu originally thought that the chances of this happening were very small, but unexpectedly it actually happened in this world!
The moment Tang Yu regained his memories, his aura faltered.
She slowly turned her head to look at Jiang Ziya, and her mind drifted back to the people she had heard about before, such as Daji, Yang Jian, Nezha, Ji Fa, and Ji Chang. She couldn't help but roll her eyes in exasperation.
This person is so familiar, but why does he look so strange?
This world's Investiture of the Gods is practically a bootleg!
Chapter 5 Investiture of the Gods
Tang Yu inwardly complained that the Investiture of the Gods was a complete mess, and it seemed that the rules of this world were very different from what she remembered.
With his spiritual energy surging, Tang Yu once again condensed his spiritual energy and enveloped Jiang Ziya, determined to take the Investiture of the Gods.
Now that she has regained all her spiritual power and memories, her strength has increased exponentially, and the powerful aura emanating from her body makes the surrounding air tremble.
Seeing that even the lightning tribulation couldn't stop Tang Yu, Jiang Ziya panicked to the extreme. A crazy thought flashed through his mind—to threaten the mysterious woman in front of him with a self-destruction that would lead to mutual destruction.
But Tang Yu was so perceptive; how could she give him that chance?
Before Jiang Ziya could make a move or even speak, Tang Yuzhu parted her lips slightly and quickly chanted a spell. A binding spell instantly wrapped around Jiang Ziya like a nimble rope.
In an instant, Jiang Ziya's body stiffened and he was unable to move. His brain seemed to be frozen, his thoughts instantly stagnating. He stood there stiffly, like a lifeless statue.
Tang Yu's hands surged with spiritual power, and this time, no force could stop her.
Even the Heavenly Dao, which had just attempted to strike her down with heavenly lightning, now seemed to have lost its power of restraint and was helpless.
The Investiture of the Gods slowly emerged from Jiang Ziya's body, rising little by little until it floated leisurely into the air.
Tang Yu stretched out his hand, palm up, and the Investiture of the Gods, radiating brilliant light, seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, obediently flying towards Tang Yu.
After receiving the Investiture of the Gods, Tang Yu did not immediately open it for study. Instead, he flipped his wrist and threw it directly into his personal space.
In this way, no one can compete with her for this treasure that concerns the fate of the world.
After doing all this, Tang Yu moved gracefully, like a petal drifting in the wind, and slowly approached Jiang Ziya.
She looked at Jiang Ziya lying on the ground like a statue, raised her hand and waved it gently. The immobilization spell instantly dissipated, and she withdrew her magic power.
Jiang Ziya was instantly freed. He jolted back to his senses, his eyes wide open, and he loudly questioned Tang Yu.
"Who exactly are you? Who is your master? Don't you know that the whole world is suffering divine retribution and the people are in unbearable pain?"
I can tell you're not a cruel or vicious person because you were willing to take action to deal with those two Taotie.
This list of gods is of utmost importance to me. I must find the right person to open it, thereby averting divine punishment and saving the people. Why are you opposing me like this?
Tang Yu did not respond immediately, but instead looked Jiang Ziya up and down.
Although this person was not quite the same as the image she remembered, it wasn't particularly outrageous either.
So Tang Yu looked directly at Jiang Ziya and asked him a sharp question.
