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

The Sakura leader, who was so powerful just a moment ago, collapsed to the ground the next, never to get up again...

This stark contrast is like throwing an egg against a rock, but the egg actually manages to break the rock...

...

My senior brother doesn't seem to need much help.

Tang Xin focused his attention on the battle on Tang Miaoxing's side. Compared to his own relatively easy battle, Tang Miaoxing's battle seemed more complicated.

The opponent is the Bimiko sect, which regards various plants and animals in nature as deities, and especially worships Amaterasu Omikami, the imperial ancestor of the sun goddess. Their methods of fighting involve performing rituals to summon deities and invoking divine possession...

Of course.

Although it is said to be about inviting a god to possess one's body, there is no real "god" in the legends of the land of cherry blossoms.

This means that even if you manage to summon some "gods," they're mostly monsters and spirits...

When it comes to dealing with demons and monsters, the Tang Clan is clearly not as professional as the Celestial Master's Mansion, but when it comes to killing, the Tang Clan is highly skilled.

No matter what you bring down, the medium will always be people.

Since life and death are inevitable, then let's just kill. When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; even if that demon has immense power, it will be difficult for it to unleash its full potential...

Adhering to the principle of "killing without eliminating evil," Tang Miaoxing demonstrated to the leader of the maid Mihu what "the professionalism of an old Tang Clan member" truly meant...

With Dan Shi, he doesn't need to... hey, he's just playing around.

Even without relying on the Pill Devouring Technique, the Tang Clan's basic methods are enough for its elite assassins to carry out the vast majority of assassinations.

Moreover, before Tang Miaoxing mastered the Pill Devouring Technique, he had been diligently improving his basic skills in the fundamental techniques of the Tang Clan.

After a few quick combos, the vital points on Chief Bimiko's body were all hit...

...

Seeing that the two elders of the Tang Clan were about to finish their battle, Zhou Fengliu turned his attention to Lü Ci and Lu Jin.

Seeing Lü Ci chasing after the new leader of Bihe Mountain like a mad dog, he spun his Ruyi Jingu Bang...

And when he saw Lu Jin activate the Reverse Life Triple Realm and smash the Yin Nian Liu leader like the Hulk slamming the ground, his expression changed slightly.

Um...

how to say?

Of all the old men fighting, Tang Miaoxing was probably the only one who could be considered to have some skill.

The others were indifferent to life and death, and would fight if they disagreed... Their main goal was to release their emotions and feel good first.

This can be seen from the expressions on the faces of Yin Nianliu and the new leader of Bihe Mountain...

At this moment, the two of them were like mice encountering a cat, completely helpless against Lü Ci and Lu Jin.

Needless to say, the new leader of Mount Nabihe was completely powerless, except for listening to Behemoth. With the deaths of Yamamoto Ryūshita and Morita, the new leader who took over was utterly incompetent.

When faced with Lü Ci, who had a blood feud with Bihe Mountain, they couldn't even scratch him; he shattered at the slightest touch, and then it was a one-sided crushing defeat...

As for the leader of Yin Nianliu, he was quite capable. After exchanging blows with Lu Jin for several rounds, he discovered that Lu Jin was constantly using talismans to attack from a distance, and immediately deduced that Lu Jin was a talisman master.

As everyone knows, a talisman master is equivalent to a ranged attacker, who is also fragile, capable of close-quarters combat, and thus, victories.

As a melee swordsman facing a fragile talisman master who is afraid of melee combat, he should be able to say "the advantage is in my hands," right?

Unfortunately, while the imagination is wonderful, reality is rather cruel.

He hadn't done any background checks on Lu Jin, so he couldn't possibly know that being a talisman maker was just a hobby for Lu Jin, and that close-quarters combat was Lu Jin's profession...

Just as he excitedly broke through Lu Jin's defenses of heavenly lightning, approached Lu Jin, and drew his sword, Lu Jin blushed.

wrong.

It was Lu Jinbai.

With the reversal of life activated, Lu Jin entered a state of intense hand-to-hand combat, unleashing a barrage of attacks.

Grab him by the collar and give him a good beating.

To be honest, even after his head smashed into the ground, leaving a small crater, he still couldn't figure it out...

Why can a talisman master instantly transform into a berserker by tearing off their clothes...?

Why throw out two talismans when you could just transform into a berserker? Are you pretending to be a talisman master?

...

With the intervention of the "elderly group," the situation in this 5v5 team battle instantly became clear.

They really did hang the cherry blossom leader up and beat him.

What are the six major forces in Sakura?

That's it?

One was struck by lightning and reduced to ashes.

One who consumes the Dan Shi (a type of medicinal pill) won't be cool for more than three seconds.

A man covered in blood, his body riddled with hidden weapons and poison...

There's another one that's being spun around like a windmill...

After the situation became clear, Zhou Fengliu silently stroked his chin. For some reason, he felt that he hadn't played a significant role in the subsequent team battles.

Just as he was thinking this, his gaze swept across the room, and suddenly, he seemed to see the abbot of the Tendai Sect lying on the ground in the distance move slightly...

Chapter 569 Doing bad things really will get you struck by lightning!

I am Ikkyu Junbi.

I'm about to begin my monologue.

I don't know why this segment started. Maybe it's because Xiao Deng spotted me from a distance?

I, Ikkyu Junpei, am the head of the Tendai sect.

I was abandoned by my parents when I was young. I was fed by many families when I was a child, and when I got a little older, I started to roam around various bustling cities.

In that chaotic environment, I quickly learned a way to survive: stealing cards.

Stealing goes without saying; those who steal through their own skill naturally don't spend money.

Needless to say, I take what others don't want, and I repeat the process of stealing what others want.

As for the card, it's easy to understand: if you find something important, you hide it and then blackmail its owner.

To get it is even simpler: find a kind-hearted merchant, then use your childish charm—if they don't give it to you, you have to...

Relying on bribes and favors, I was very comfortable in the bustling city. Gradually, I also gained a new reputation in the city: a bad seed.

I don't care about being labeled a bad seed or anything like that; I just want to live.

My life was supposed to just drift by like this, but who would have thought that one day an old monk passing by would take me away.

I was originally planning to steal his rations, but the old monk caught me. He saw that my hands were dirty and had heard about my deeds from the surrounding merchants, so he decided to "purify" me.

He took me back to the Tendai Sect and I became a monk. He gave me the name Jingde, meaning to purify my virtue.

I don't care about it. Whether in Tiandaizong or in the bustling city, I just want to live.

As time passed, more than a decade went by. The old monk taught me a lot of skills, and I did indeed have some innate talent. I could learn things quickly and master them in no time.

Although my hands and feet are still not clean, and no one in the temple likes me, I don't care.

I am no longer the same as before, and I have great strength. Naturally, I am different from them. As the saying goes, powerful people are always lonely. Someone as powerful as me should be lonely.

My strength is growing, but the conflict between me and the old monk is also getting worse.

When he was still very weak, he would spout those grand principles, and I could only listen.

Now that I'm powerful, I only understand one principle: might makes right.

As long as I'm strong enough, I can survive, and not only survive, I can live a good life...

The old monk had no way to deal with me in this state.

As for the old monk who disagreed with me, I thought that since he had taught me skills, I could stay in the temple to spend my old age in peace. But I never expected that this old monk would want to kill me.

He actually teamed up with other old guys in the temple to prepare a physical ritual to send me to the afterlife...

When I heard the news, I was furious. I didn't understand what I had done wrong; all I wanted was to live.

Just because I have a bad temper and didn't change my personality according to their expectations, am I going to be eliminated?

I don't understand.

Which powerful nation doesn't have a few minor flaws?

With no other choice, I chose to strike when faced with a life-or-death situation.

Yes.

I killed the old monk, and also killed many abbots and other monks.

To be honest, I didn't know I was so strong. I killed the old monk with three punches... and those so-called abbots couldn't even withstand five of my moves...

In this way, I killed all those who disobeyed me, leaving behind a group of people who feared my power.

Having gained power, I was easily elected as the head of the Tendai Sect... and served as so for more than ten years.

During this period, I led the Tendai Sect to spread its teachings to one temple and one organization of supernatural beings after another, making the Tendai Sect one of the six major powers in the Sakura Kingdom.

I did this for no other reason than to prove that even a wicked monk like me can receive support from other temples.

Although they don't approve of me, there's nothing I can do; my abilities don't allow me to be low-key, and they have to support me.

My life was originally meant to be built on my fists, and I even started planning how to use my power to unite the other five major forces and make the Tendai Sect the number one power in Sakura...

The First Power...

This would have been almost impossible before, until I heard the news that a Chinese person had single-handedly defeated Hieiyama, one of the six major powers in Sakura, within Sakura.

At that moment, I felt no fear, but rather a questioning of the other five major powers.

Yes.

I questioned their capabilities.
