The process of deification began with the discovery of hidden information in divine objects.

Chapter 112 Alone, at the End of the Road! (Part 2)

"Finally, Huanglong has released that ghostly creature!"

Dai Wu was pale from excessive blood loss, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear when he saw the huge Yin soldier.

"Legend has it that at the end of the Warring States period, Qin general Bai Qi conquered the Chu state of Yan and Ying, leaving the people of Chu displaced and starving to death. There was a Chu general named Jing Que who, after his defeat, led his remaining troops into the Yunmeng Marsh, vowing never to surrender."

"The Qin army besieged the area for three months, but their food supplies ran out and reinforcements were cut off. Jing Que killed horses for food and boiled leather for sustenance, and not a single one of his more than one hundred men deserted."

Finally, the Qin army stormed the camp, and Jing Que died in battle. His vengeful spirit lingered, transforming into a fierce ghost. Later, a wandering Taoist priest, skilled in cultivation, passed through Yunmeng Marsh, subdued Jing Que, and suppressed him within the Five Wrathful Soldiers' Order. The priest left five cuts on the order, allowing the summoning of lesser ghosts, effectively weakening Jing Que's resentment!

Zhao Tianzhi had once explained to him the origin of the Five Witches' Army Order, explaining that this divine object was essentially a seal. At the time, he had criticized these so-called righteous people for upholding some ridiculous virtue of benevolence, refusing to kill any ghosts or demons they encountered, merely sealing them away—utterly disgusting.

Huanglong laughed at him, saying that if they killed them, wouldn't they lose the Five Witches' Army Order?

Unexpectedly, it became their trump card for turning the tide—no, it can't be called turning the tide, at most it's mutual destruction. Once Jing Que kills Su Ziye, they'll be the ones who die!

"You possess the aura of Bai Qi!"

Jing Que let out a low roar. He was extremely fast and threw another punch at Su Ziye!

"You like Bai Qi that much?"

"Killing God Force Field!"

boom!

Su Ziye raised his hand, and fifteen layers of killing intent suddenly descended upon the opponent's back!

The murderous intent was so intimidating that Jing Que let out a low growl, and his movements indeed slowed down!

Killing intent is also an extremely yang and strong substance, and it has a natural restraining effect on these ghosts.

After all, anyone who has seen a ghost knows that ghosts only like to bully the cowardly. Those with strong righteousness, murderous aura, or yang energy dare not approach. Otherwise, why would ancient ghosts prefer to bully poor scholars but not great generals? To put it bluntly, they bully the weak and fear the strong!

"Hmph! Incompetent in life, now he haunts us even in death!"

Su Ziye sneered and raised his hand to throw a punch at his opponent!

"Demon-Subduing Seal!"

"It's precisely because of dead, half-dead creatures like you that we're here to keep quiet!"

The three forces of the protective aura, the divine fire of Zhurong, and the demon-subduing seal twisted together, and a terrifying force struck Jing Que's chest!

Boom!

The enormous ghost was smashed and staggered backward!

Su Ziye quickly caught up and grabbed the giant axe stuck in the ground!

Swish!

He raised his hand and swept out with an axe!

Jing Que's large arm was easily torn apart; the power of the divine object had a natural restraint on these ghosts!

"That wandering Taoist priest must have taken pity on you back then, which is why he spared your life. But I won't. I was incompetent in life, so I'll die peacefully. Don't bring your so-called resentment into this era!"

boom!

Su Ziye swung his axe down again!

Swish!

The blinding flash of the axe tore through the air.

"roar!"

Jing Que's second arm was severed!

"it's over!"

Su Ziye swung his axe and cleaved the man from head to toe with a single blow, killing him instantly!

"I'm not reconciled!"

Jing Que screamed in agony!

boom!

A burst of white air exploded and shot straight into the sky. This ghostly creature, after thousands of years, was killed on the spot by Su Ziye!

"They made a grand entrance, but their actual skills are nothing special."

Su Ziye snorted coldly. It looks intimidating, but it's actually a matter of a few moves to kill!

"This ghost has been suppressed for too many years and is already in a weakened state. If it could kill and devour someone to regain some of its strength, you wouldn't have won so easily today!"

Huang Long staggered over, leaning against the wall. He was barely clinging to life after being drained of all his blood.

He took two steps, then knelt down on the ground, and slowly lay prone on the ground.

"Su Ziye—you win!"

He stretched out his hand forcefully, as if trying to grab something.

"Brother Tian, ​​please forgive Huanglong for failing to live up to your expectations. Huanglong can no longer accompany you on this journey!"

In his hazy state of mind, what he wanted to grasp was perhaps the glorious future he imagined he would create with Zhao Tianzhi.

He lowered his head and became completely lifeless.

Su Ziye walked towards Zhuque, who was already dead. Zhurong's divine fire filled her body, burning away all her internal organs!

Looking at Dai Wu, who was locked to the wall, he was panting heavily, and blood and sweat mixed together and dripped onto the ground.

A pool of blood had already formed at his feet. Even if a cultivator had strong vitality, this trend clearly indicated that he was not long for this world.

"Su Ziye—you won, but let me tell you! None of us regret dying here!"

"When we decided to work for Brother Tian, ​​we had already imagined our fate countless nights, accepting our deaths with equanimity. Every extra day we lived was a bonus for us!"

"I just don't understand, we're clearly the same kind of people, so why is it that you've reached this point, why are you standing in the light, while we can only hide like rats in the gutter? We should be the same kind of people!"

"Before I die, can you tell me the answer to this?"

Dai Wu's eyes were filled with longing!

"You and I have never been the same kind of people. You pursue power and strength for revenge, to vent your desires, but I pursue power and strength so that more people can pursue power and strength!"

"Dai Wu, when you climbed out of the mire of the lowest rungs and then bullied those still trapped there, did you ever think that you were once one of them?"

"So what! I don't believe anyone in this world can truly be selfless. Human nature is dark and cannot withstand the test. People will inevitably harm the interests of others for their own benefit! Su Ziye, you're just putting on a victor's face to show me your justice. If you were the one dying here today, you wouldn't be saying these words!"

Dai Wu roared, his neck flushed red.

"If you harbor resentment towards this world, you should change it after you become strong, not seek revenge. What truly bullies you is not the world, but your own inferiority complex. You—are trapped in the past!"

That's all!

Having said that, Su Ziye raised his knife and brought it down!

He pulled the golden mace from Dai Wu's thigh and plunged it into Dai Wu's heart!

"Su Ziye————"

Dai Wu gripped the door god's golden mace tightly!

"If—if what you're saying is true, then—can people like us receive fair treatment?"

"I don't know, but—I'm trying."

Swish!

Sheathing his divine weapon, Su Ziye turned and left.

Pfft!

Dai Wu collapsed to the ground, his life slowly fading away.

"Boss, I'm sorry—but I tried my best!"

Zhuque, Daiwu, Huanglong, and the deceased Yinghu—thus, all of Zhao Tianzhi's subordinates, including Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu, were wiped out!

Moreover, having died at the hands of the same person, he truly became a lonely figure!

As the clock struck midnight, Luochuan City was anything but peaceful tonight!

This colossal structure, which has stood in Luochuan for nearly twenty years, is now on the verge of collapse!

Su Ziye turned and headed towards Tiansheng Building!

At this time, the Tiansheng Building was engulfed in flames of war. Xiong Chaofeng and Fang Zhiyuan led their men to clear out the entire building and purge Zhao Tianzhi's subordinates!

Nie Jinghong faced off against Zhao Tianzhi. The two were at the pinnacle of power in Luochuan City. One was the director of the Luochuan branch of the Divine Instrument Bureau, the sharpest sword under the law, and the other was the famous King of Luochuan, who had dominated Luochuan for twenty years and whose powerful reputation was so strong that even elementary school students had heard of his name!

Since then, the two have exchanged a hundred blows, and neither has gained the upper hand!

Beneath Zhao Tianzhi's impeccably tailored white suit, he was wearing a suit of golden scale armor. Golden scales were attached to his torso, covering his collarbone and waist. Each scale was the size of a fingernail, with sharp edges that gleamed coldly under the light.

As Zhao Tianzhi breathed, the armor plates opened and closed slightly, emitting a fine rustling sound, like a living creature crawling.

This armor is terrifying. The golden scales on its body move at will, transforming into wrist guards, snares, and even short swords and daggers. With a thought from Zhao Tianzhi, the golden scales began to flow across his body again!

And it is impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire!

This defensive artifact is extremely expensive. With the same quality, it is more powerful than the artifact in Nie Jinghong's hands. Moreover, the golden scales are a mid-grade artifact. Zhao Tianzhi is almost invincible just by relying on these swimming golden scales!

"Director Nie, do you know what these golden scales are?"

"The Golden Feather Scale is the remains of the ancient feathered serpent god. I found it in the mine when I was just a miner. At that time, it only had a dozen or so scales the size of my palm. But over the years, as I have been feeding it, it has grown to almost cover half of my body!"

Zhao Tianzhi's tone was tinged with pride. The golden scales on his body seemed to be one with his flesh and blood, embedded in his bones and blood!

At the very least, it can easily withstand Nie Jinghong's Moonfrost Sword and Kitchen God Seal.

"Do you know what I feed and water them with?"

As he spoke, Zhao Tianzhi's lips curled up slightly.

Nie Jinghong's expression was icy, but in reality, she had already guessed a bit of what was going on!

"That's right, it's human blood. Watering with human blood has miraculous effects, and the growth rate is astonishingly fast. So, in recent years, when I had Dai Wu and the others secretly deal with some people, I would bleed them immediately and then use the pure blood that had just been drawn from their bodies to water my divine object!"

"Look how well-behaved they are! As soon as I have a thought, they will protect me without hesitation!"

Zhao Tianzhi sneered triumphantly!

"You beast, you deserve to die! You're no different from those members of the Fallen God Society!"

Nie Jinghong's tone was icy!

"Hahaha! Thank you for the compliment, Director Nie. I've long felt that derogatory terms like greed, evil, and darkness are actually compliments and praise, because in this world, people who aren't greedy, evil, or dark simply can't survive!"

"The more greedy and evil I am, the stronger I become. Survival of the fittest means—only then can I live longer!"

Swish!

Zhao Tianzhi suddenly leaped forward and pounced directly at Nie Jinghong!

Snapped!

Golden scales emerged from behind him, whipping towards Nie Jinghong like a snake's tail!

"You son of a bitch, today I'll rub your dog head into the ground!"

boom!

A cold voice rang out, and Su Ziye descended from the sky, bringing his axe down fiercely on Zhao Tianzhi!

when!

He raised his arm, and golden scales somehow flowed onto his wrist, actually blocking Su Ziye's powerful axe blow without him even moving!

"The fact that you're here means Huanglong and the others have suffered!"

"Yes, they're all dead, including your divine artifact, the Five Witches' Army Token, which is shattered! Zhao Tianzhi, you're all alone now!"

Su Ziye said coldly!

"Oh dear, what a pity. I thought they would be able to cause you some harm no matter what. I don't know if you're stronger than I imagined, or if they've become weaker due to their pampered lifestyle over the years!"

Zhao Tianzhi sneered and slammed his other hand toward Su Ziye's abdomen!

Su Ziye pressed down on the mountain-splitting axe, flipped over, and then swept a kick towards Zhao Tianzhi's lower body!

"They were all your good brothers, they died fighting for you, don't you feel even a little bit sad?"

Su Ziye frowned!

Zhao Tianzhi was so calm that Su Ziye even felt that he had long foreseen the three of them would die!

"Hahahaha! Sad? What a joke! How can someone who's controlled by emotions accomplish great things? Many years ago, I threw away those worthless emotions!"

"Did you see those people your Divine Ritual Division arrested? They're my brothers too! In Tiansheng, who isn't my brother? Hmm? Only a fool would take the word 'brother' seriously! Let me tell you, the value of a brother is that you can sell him for a higher price than a regular person!"

Zhao Tianzhi laughed wildly!

"How foolish. Just because someone calls you 'brother' a couple of times, you actually think you're brothers. Huang Long and the others probably always think that I made them who they are, but in reality—they are the truly outstanding ones. Even if their abilities aren't used by me, they could achieve great things in any field in this world, or even as law enforcement officers. I just have a better eye and discovered their strengths."

"I helped them because I found them useful! That's all!"

"Don't talk to me about brotherhood or true feelings. Don't be ridiculous! In this world, only self-interest is the best way to maintain everything."

Zhao Tianzhi leaped up!

Swish!

The golden scales actually sprouted a pair of dazzling golden wings on his back!

"Su Ziye, do you think I'd be sad because my tools were destroyed? At most, I'd feel a little regretful, but as long as I have power, I can have as many useful tools as I want!"

"Judging by the time, it should be about time! Your Divine Ritual Division has mobilized a large force, leaving the interior so empty. What if it gets robbed?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Whoosh!

Zhao Tianzhi rushed into the night, he actually—abandoned the entire Tiansheng!

"You bastard!"

Nie Jinghong trembled with rage. How could there be such a beast in the world, making all his crimes sound so noble and righteous!
