Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

Just by looking at their positions, they were terrifyingly strong... not to mention these old men had pushed their way in from the outside.

...

"Old Celestial Master, Tang Clan Leader, you've arrived too early."

Lu Ci then walked over and greeted the group.

Upon seeing Lü Ci appear, Lu Jin and the others raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by his presence...

It's important to know that Lü Ci and Zhou Fengliu had virtually no connection... At the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, Lü Ci didn't even manage to save face against Zhou Fengliu...

How could Lü Ci have gotten here before them?

"Old Lu, you have connections with that Zhou kid? You're here so early." Lu Jin glanced at Lu Ci and asked.

In response to Lu Jin's question, Lü Ci immediately replied:

"Whoever hits Sakura, I'll help them... When it comes to matters of principle, I, Lü Ci, don't consider personal relationships..."

Lu Ci's words were clearly a sarcastic remark directed at Lu Jin, roughly meaning:

I, Lü Ci, am not like you... You come out to beat up Sakura and then claim you owe her a favor...

...

"Fengliu, are these the people who want to kill you?" the old master asked Zhou Fengliu, as if to confirm the target of the assassination.

"Um..."

Zhou Fengliu nodded upon hearing this, and then briefly pointed out the identities of the cherry blossom leaders to the old celestial master.

After Zhou Fengliu finished introducing the identities of the people opposite him, Lu Jin and the others were randomly matched with the leader of Sakura.

Aside from the head of the Tendai Sect who was struck by lightning, Sakura's side still has five other faction leaders...

Yin Nen-ryu, the sumo wrestler of the Eight Mountains, the Onmyoji of Tsuchimikado, Hanamiko, and the newly appointed leader of the Hieiyama ninja clan, who was recently supported by the United States...

Meanwhile, in China...

The Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Lu Jin of the Lu family, Lu Ci of the Lü family, plus the two elders of the Tang Clan, make a total of five people.

5v5.

This is much fairer than the previous 6v1.

Seeing that five old men on the Shenzhou side were already eager to try, the leaders on the Sakura side were no longer as arrogant as before.

"What do we do now?" asked the leader of the Bimihu clan.

How to do?

It's difficult...

Zhou Fengliu alone is troublesome enough, yet the six leaders are ganging up on him, and they still claim the advantage is on their side...

Now that several more old men have joined the fight, replacing Zhou Fengliu, their situation has become more passive.

Despite their current numerical advantage, the scene just now where those old men fought their way from the outer perimeter to the inner circle shows that their numerical advantage is practically meaningless...

"What can we do? Given the terrain of Kunlong Bay... we can only grit our teeth and fight them."

The leader of the Yazan sumo wrestlers spoke.

The terrain of Kunlong Bay is indeed very unique; when the enemy enters, it can be used as an ambush to encircle and annihilate them...

But when the enemy blocked the breach, they became trapped beasts... The surrounding mountains were the biggest obstacle to their escape...

The people they brought were blocked by Tang Clan assassins and temporary workers, both of whom were very troublesome. This allowed the old men to focus their attention entirely on them.

It would be difficult for them to escape in the chaos...

"on!"

With the Hachiyama sumo wrestlers taking the lead by choosing Tang Xin, who seemed the least formidable opponent, the remaining four belatedly realized they needed to find an easy target...

After a chaotic matchmaking process, the core 5v5 laning phase looks something like this.

Hachiyama Sumo Wrestler vs. Tang Xin.

Bimihu vs. Tang Miaoxing.

Biheshan v Lü Ci.

Yin Nianliu vs. Lu Jin.

After much deliberation, the old man who looked the most ruthless in the middle was chosen as the leader of the Onmyoji, Tsuchimikado.

When the leader of Tsuchimikado watched as the shikigami he had just summoned was casually struck into dust by the old master's lightning, he fell into deep thought.

Leader of Tsuchimikado: I hit the Old Master? Huh? Me?

It should be noted that the shikigami he controls are, in a sense, monsters from the mountains and fields.

...

These Onmyoji (spirit masters) make contracts with yokai (demons/spirits) through sealed letters, shaping them into paper figures. By reciting the agreed-upon incantation, they can control and summon shikigami (spirits) at any time...

The strength of the summoned shikigami is related to the Onmyoji who controls them...

He admitted that, as the current head of the Tsuchimikado family, he had achieved a little bit of success in the world of Sakura Onmyoji...

But... that doesn't mean he can beat the Celestial Master!

Controlling yokai spirits vs. Taoist priests from the Celestial Master's Mansion who are skilled at dealing with spirits and evil spirits...

What's even more problematic is that the Taoist priest he was paired with was none other than the current Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion...

What kind of idiotic matchmaking system is this?!

The leader of Tsuchimikado thought this to himself.

At this moment, he only regretted that he hadn't seized the opportunity to choose another opponent. Now look what happened... those shameless old geezers had left their best fighters to him.

It really became a matter of picking on the elite to fight...

...

The situation is not good for the Tsuchimikado leader, and the battles against the other Sakura leaders are also not going well.

Let's start with this cunning sumo wrestler from Yazan...

At that moment, the sumo wrestler glanced at the fight between Tsuchimikado and the old master, and as he saw the heavenly lightning strike, he inwardly felt incredibly fortunate for his quick reflexes...

Pick the one you can't beat right away...

Looking at the hunched, thin old man in front of him, the sumo wrestler from Hachiyama smiled.

Judging from their weight, he really has the advantage in this fight.

"Old man, meeting me is going to be a real nightmare for you!"

As he spoke, the sumo wrestler launched a human-shaped charge at Tang Xin.

The more excited he became, the closer Tang Xin saw him to death.

...

This Japanese guy is already courting death.

Tang Xin, who had already laid out Dan Shi around him, thought to himself.

...

P.S.: Just wishing you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Chapter 568 What does it mean to be utterly crushed?

Although this sumo wrestler from the Eight Mountains was a nimble, fat man, he genuinely failed to notice the Dan Shi hanging in the surrounding air...

This allowed him to launch a high-speed meatball attack towards Tang Xin, completely consuming the surrounding Dan Shi.

Faced with the impact of his fleshy balls, Tang Xin did not dodge and was sent flying by the impact.

Watching Tang Xin, who had been thrown back by the attack, weakly get up from the ground, the leader of the Eight Mountains Sumo Wrestlers became even more convinced that the old man in front of him was the weakest link in this group of elderly wrestlers.

Seeing the villain's signature smile spread across his face, he then said:

"Old man, I gave you a chance, but you're useless. You can't even dodge at this level. What are you doing here?"

Listening to what Sakura said, Tang Xin slowly walked up to the sumo wrestler and held up three fingers of his right hand.

"three."

"?"

Seeing Tang Xin's actions, the leader of the Eight Mountains Sumo Wrestlers looked puzzled, unable to figure out what Tang Xin was up to.

"two."

"..."

Upon hearing Tang Xin say "two" again, the sumo wrestler realized that Tang Xin was counting down.

"one."

"Old man, what are you doing?"

After saying that, the sumo wrestler from the Eight Mountains punched Tang Xin hard.

Before the fist, as big as a clay pot, could even touch Tang Xin, it deflated and plummeted straight down... its massive body instantly collapsing to the ground.

He felt a change occurring in the meridians within his body, as if ants were burrowing into them; the excruciating pain caused him to writhe and crawl on the ground...

Looking at the little old man standing in front of him, a look of confusion flashed across his face, which was contorted with pain, and he asked in a tone tinged with fear:

"What...what did you do to me?"

"If you are poisoned by the pill, even a god cannot save you."

When asked about the situation, Tang Xin simply flicked his sleeves and then turned his gaze to the battles of the others around him.

In his eyes, this Japanese guy was already dead...

Sure enough... in the blink of an eye, several poison pills took effect simultaneously, reaping the life of this self-righteous leader of the Yazan sumo wrestlers.

The whole process seemed bizarre to outsiders...
