Chapter 596

Xu Pingfeng didn't look at the First Born. Light flickered beneath his feet as he teleported him into the sky.

The artifact left behind by the Initial Supervisor was of utmost importance. Not only could it form a world of its own and shield itself from the power of all living beings, it also possessed the authority to not be divined or spied upon.

It was this authority that allowed him to fool the Supervisor's spying of the future, allowing him to see the 'wrong' scene and believe that he was the victor of the battle.

Only a Diviner could deal with a Diviner.

Now, the Supervisor had been sealed, but Xu Qi 'an had inherited the power of all living beings. Moreover, the authority to' not be divined or spied upon 'was equally effective against experts of other systems, such as sorcerers!

Such as Heaven Gu!

Seeing this, Xu Qi 'an bent his legs and shot into the sky at supersonic speed amidst the collapsing ground. He wanted to fight for the bronze disc.

Among the Transcendents behind him, Luo Yuheng had the purest thoughts. She chased after him reflexively, not letting Xu Qi 'an get out of her range of protection.

Then came Ji Xuan, Sun Xuanji, Kouyang Province, Galo Tree, and Zhao Shou.

They were on guard against each other's Transcendents who disregarded martial ethics and attacked their own armies.

After the Transcendents left one after another, Qi Guangbo looked at the top of Xunzhou's walls and took a deep breath.

"Beat the drums! Attack the city! "

The Yunzhou Army hadn't been idle during this period of time. They had won over many Pugilistic people, including many powerful Pugilistic forces.

After all, the Yunzhou Army's advantage was so great that many Pugilistic forces and rangers were willing to join them.

There were even some wanted criminals who came to Qingzhou on their own accord, eager to earn merits. From fugitives who had been hiding everywhere, they became people with real power.

Amidst the beating of the drums, the Yunzhou Army slowly advanced in a neat square formation. Large shields were in front, cannons and ballistae at the back, followed by infantry and cavalry carrying all sorts of siege equipment.

Dong, dong, dong!

At the top of Xunzhou's walls, the drums were beating.

Yang Yan and the other rank-4s had already climbed up to the top of the wall, each guarding a section.

There were probably very few such walls with so many rank-4s guarding them.

With Xu Qi 'an's inspiring slash and the addition of these Level Four martial artists, the defenders on the city wall were not nervous or afraid at all when they saw the Yunzhou Army. Instead, they were eager to fight and were full of fighting spirit.

Xu Yinluo's sword showed the elegance of Da Feng, how could we be greedy for life and afraid of death?

…

High up in the sky, Xu Qi 'an pierced through the sea of clouds and saw Xu Pingfeng collecting the bronze disc.

Under the Wind Rider state, no matter how fast a martial artist was, he couldn't be faster than a Warlock who could teleport.

I can't use Shadow Leap to close the distance … He casually looked around and saw that Xu Pingfeng's shadow had been distorted into the clouds far away.

"Boom!" The Qi beneath his feet exploded like a high-performance propeller, increasing his speed even further. At the same time, he handed over control of his body to Grandmaster Shenshu.

"Repent and be saved!"

Xu Qi 'an spat out a divine voice.

Xu Pingfeng's body stiffened, and he turned around halfway. However, he immediately suppressed the urge to turn around.

At that moment, Xu Qi 'an emerged from the shadows. He didn't attack Xu Pingfeng, who could teleport at any time. Instead, he pounced on the Bronze Disc, trying to take it.

Just as Xu Qi 'an was about to touch the Bronze Disc, a circle appeared between him and the disc!

Teleportation!

If he was enveloped by the teleportation, he would be sent far away from the battlefield.

This would give Xu Pingfeng and Galo Tree the best chance to counterattack. They could focus on Kouyang Province, Luo Yuheng, and the other Transcendents.

"Ding!"

The sword light whizzed over and hit Xu Qi 'an's waist. For a Peak Strength martial artist, this kind of power was enough for him to escape from the range of the transmission spell.

Xu Qi 'an used the power of the flying sword to fly to the side. Luo Yuheng's iron sword replaced Xu Qi' an to be teleported.

Xu Pingfeng collected the Bronze Disc as he wished. It shrank to the size of a palm and he put it in his pocket.

At that moment, he saw his eldest son grab the hilt of the Nation Guarding Sword and pull out the sword.

In the next moment, a glistening yellow sword light flashed and vanished.

Xu Pingfeng's pupils contracted. He knew that this was Xu Qi 'an's will. He couldn't stop it or dodge it because he risked his life to make this move. The damage would be reflected back to him at the same time.

The physique of a Second Rank Sorcerer couldn't ignore the Unparalleled Warrior's attack.

At that moment, the Dharma Form of the Acalanatha appeared behind Xu Pingfeng and froze the space.

The yellow sword light appeared three feet away from Xu Pingfeng and then slowly extinguished. It couldn't even explode.

Galo Tree Bodhisattva's figure appeared behind Xu Pingfeng.

Then, Ji Xuan came with the wind and stood with Xu Pingfeng and Galo Tree.

On the other side, Kouyang Province, Sun Xuanji, and Zhao Shou rushed up to the sea of clouds.

Even if Galo Tree Bodhisattva couldn't use the Dharma Form, he was still a weaker version of the First Rank Warrior. With the help of the Acalanatha, even if all of them attacked together, they would probably end up with nothing … Xu Qi 'an glanced at the Transcendents on his side and then looked at Xu Pingfeng and the other two. He quickly analyzed and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Maybe Galo Tree Bodhisattva would even yell in comfort,

Master Xu, stop scratching!

So, we can only restrain Galo Tree, not defeat him. If the Supervisor can't do it, we can't either. Also, this battle is to buy time so that Azuro can kill the Black Lotus in Qingzhou … Xu Qi 'an quickly made a decision and used the strategy of Tian Ji's horse race.

He transmitted his voice to everyone.

"Dean, you and I will restrain Galo Tree. Senior Kou will kill Ji Xuan. Senior Brother Sun and the Grand Preceptor will deal with Xu Pingfeng."

Kouyang Province was a Second Rank Warlock after all. He could suppress Ji Xuan and even kill him.

Luo Yuheng and Sun Xuanji could deal with Second Rank Warlocks who weren't known for their explosive power. They could restrain them effectively and not let the Grand Preceptor lose too much energy and cause the Karmic Fire in his body to lose balance.

As for him and the Dean, they would restrain Galo Tree. Although Galo Tree didn't have the Dharma Form, he was still a First Rank Warlock. Under normal circumstances, even two Second Rank Warriors wouldn't be able to fight him.

But the Confucian School was different. They were the strongest support, and with the help of the Quasi-Sage Confucian Crown, they could give it a try.

Zhao Shou and the others thought for a while and agreed to Xu Qi 'an's arrangement.

"Senior Kou, I'll lend you a Heavenly Weapon."

Xu Qi 'an's chest shimmered. The Taiping Saber broke through the "mirror" and unwillingly handed itself to the old man.

Kouyang Province took the Taiping Saber. The Saber Qi broke through the sea of clouds. He was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the Heavenly Weapon to be so sharp.

"Good Saber!"

Although a Warrior claimed that his body was the strongest weapon, it also depended on what was in his hand.

In terms of toughness, a Second Rank Warrior's body was comparable to most Peerless Heavenly Weapons. But the Warrior's body didn't have the characteristics of magic weapons.

It was like the Nation Suppressing Sword, which could burn wounds that couldn't heal on their own.

The Taiping Saber couldn't compare to the Nation Suppressing Sword yet. But after being nourished in Dragon Breath for many days, it could enhance Kouyang Province's Saber Intent and increase the old man's attack power.

On the other side, Galo Tree muttered:

"There's something wrong with Xu Qi 'an's strength."

Too strong, unexpectedly strong.

Xu Pingfeng was silent for a moment. He seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed slightly.

"Can you sense if the Demon-Sealing Nail is still in his body?"

A golden swastika emerged in each of Galo Tree Bodhisattva's eyes. He examined Xu Qi 'an for a moment. His already serious face became even more solemn.

"There's no Demon-Sealing Nail in his body!"

If there was still a Demon-Sealing Nail in his body, his secret method would reflect it. But there was no Demon-Sealing Nail.

Xu Pingfeng's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"He has advanced to Second Rank. Who removed the Demon-Sealing Nail for him?"

Galo Tree Bodhisattva frowned for a moment. His eyebrows moved slightly, and he said word by word:

"Azuro …"

Among the Buddhist sects, there were only a handful of people who could remove the Demon Sealing Nail.

Combined with the defeat in the Southern Border war, it was easy to infer who the problem was.

But Galo Tree Bodhisattva didn't understand how Azuro avoided the Buddhist dharma questioning heart.

Xu Pingfeng frowned deeply.

Azuro and Xu Qi 'an formed an alliance? In this way, there was definitely no place for the youngest son of the Asura King in Buddhism. But since he had already joined the Daibun camp, why didn't he show up now?

What was he doing?

What other purpose did he have?

In a flash, the world's top chess player had already guessed Xu Qi 'an's real purpose.

"Black Lotus. Their real target is Black Lotus."

Xu Pingfeng said in a deep voice:

"Galo Tree, protect the army of Cloud State. I'll go back to Qingzhou."

As he spoke, the teleportation array under his feet lit up.

"Teleportation is forbidden here!"

Zhao Shou flicked the Quasi-sage Confucian Crown and used the power of the Confucian School of Law to modify the rules of heaven and earth.

He didn't directly "harm" the enemy, nor did he brag too much. He only restricted teleportation, and didn't even restrict other arrays.

The advantage of this was that the power of the Law of Law could be maintained for a long time.

Without teleportation, the warlocks would lose the mobility that they were proud of, and they would be unable to leave the battlefield.

"Zhao Shou!" For the first time, Xu Pingfeng showed a look of extreme anger. He growled in a low voice.

He growled in a deep voice: "When I enter the Central Plains one day, I'll cut off the legacy of the Confucian School!"

Zhao Shou smiled.

"It's my pleasure."

…

QING: Bureau of Inspecting and Prosecuting.

Sensing the enemy's invasion, the lotus Taoist priests of the Earth Sect all broke out of their houses, but they were immediately suppressed by Azuro's monstrous aura.

"The Buddhists want to be enemies with the Earth Sect?"

Black Lotus stood on the lotus throne and asked angrily.

Azuro didn't waste any time. His right fist lit up with a brilliant light, and with the power of the Bandit Killing Fruit, he punched through the air.

At this time, in the courtyards of the QING: Bureau of Inspecting and Prosecuting, the arrays that had been set up in advance lit up one by one.

This was the new stronghold of the Earth Sect, so Xu Pingfeng naturally had set up a large array in the yamen.

Sharp metal spirits rushed out from the west, flames shot into the sky from the south, and water spirits surged in the north. Plants grew in the east, and vines surged like tentacles. In the center of the array, the power of the earth spirit gushed out.

Black Lotus immediately summoned the four Dharma Forms of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, and absorbed the power gathered by the array into the Dharma Forms.

The four Dharma Forms instantly returned to Black Lotus's body, and a five-colored light condensed on his fist.

"Boom!"

The collision of the two forces produced a deafening explosion, and the surrounding buildings were uprooted.

They were evenly matched.

"Hmph!"

Black Lotus's crimson eyes swept over Azuro and Jinlian, and he sneered.

"This array uses the providence of the Azure Province as its base, and it condenses the five elements. Being in the middle of the array is like adding wings to a tiger. Guess where the eye of the array is?"

He was the eye of the array.

As long as he didn't leave the array, it wouldn't break.

And as long as he held on long enough, Xu Pingfeng and Galo Tree would notice the change in the situation sooner or later and rush back to help.

"Jinlian, do you think I moved the headquarters of the Earth Sect to Azure Province just because I was afraid of your revenge? No, I wanted to have the home advantage. Although I don't know why this Buddhist Arhat is helping you, you're underestimating us. "

Building an earth-shattering array was one of the deals he had made with Xu Pingfeng, and it was also the reason why he could stay in Azure Province.

"Oh," the Jinlian Taoist priest replied calmly.

He smiled and said, "I can't break a Warlock's array, but this array is rooted in the ground, and it relies on the earth's veins … Hmm, did you forget about the Book of the Earth?"

There were two types of array. One was based on the Warlock's body, and the array would form with a single thought.

The other was a solidified array, which used the mountains and veins of the earth as its base, and a large array was set up.

The former could not be broken unless the Warlock was killed. But the latter was restrained by the Book of the Earth.

The Jinlian Taoist priest took out the ninth fragment of the Book of the Earth, spat out a mouthful of power of virtue, and threw it into the sky.

The Book of the Earth spun rapidly, rippling with a brilliant halo.

Inside the QING Bureau of Inspecting and Prosecuting, a few rays of light flew over and met with the fragment of the Book of the Earth.

The seven small jade mirrors merged and quickly "melted", turning into irregular jade fragments like broken porcelain.

These fragments merged with each other, forming a square jade plate that was missing a corner.

Under the Jinlian Taoist priest's control, the square jade plate slowly sank into the ground.

In the next moment, the array inside the QING Bureau of Inspecting and Prosecuting collapsed, and the power of the Five Elements dispersed.

Azuro's ears twitched. He tilted his head to look at the place where the Book of the Earth disappeared and frowned.

As the owner of the Book of the Earth, he heard a low murmur just now.

Taoist Master Black Lotus was shocked and enraged. He roared,

"How dare you let the Book of the Earth gather? How dare you?! "

His tone was filled with anger and fear, as if something terrible would happen if the Book of the Earth gathered.

'What will happen if the Book of the Earth gathers …' This thought flashed through Azuro's mind. He didn't think too much about it. The brilliant halo behind his head hid, and the ring of fire exploded, turning into a golden ray of light that shot toward Black Lotus.

Black Lotus's body, which was covered in a black viscous liquid, suddenly blurred, and was replaced by a surging flow of air.

He turned into a gust of wind and dodged Azuro's attack.

At the same time, the viscous liquid in the distance swallowed Azuro's figure like a fountain.

"Repent and be saved!"

Azuro's calm voice came from the fountain.

Black Lotus's flight came to a halt, and he couldn't help but turn around.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Black Lotus made a prompt decision. He retracted his Wind Avatar, and his body collapsed into a viscous, turbulent black ocean, swallowing and corrupting everything around him.

Inside the QING Bureau of Inspecting and Prosecuting, the ordinary officials and guards all changed, and their gazes lost all rationality.

Some of them couldn't control their desire to kill, and they killed anyone they saw. Some only wanted to vent their lust, and they pounced on anyone they saw, regardless of gender. Some greedily looted the property of the government office, wanting to take it for themselves.

The four members of the Heaven & Earth Society who were slaughtering the Earth Sect's Daemon Taoists flew into the air in a panic, avoiding the flood-like power of corruption.

This massive power of corruption had exceeded the purification limit of Daoism's Golden Core. At the very least, they, who were at the fourth rank, couldn't avoid it.

On the other hand, the Earth Sect's Daemon Taoists were like fish in water, and their strength increased greatly.

Azuro sat cross-legged, and the viscous liquid was blocked by a faint golden halo.

Meditation!

The Jinlian Taoist priest floated into the air, turning into a blazing sun, and emitted colorful power of merit.

"Sizzle …"

Black smoke rose from the viscous liquid, and the viscous liquid that covered Azuro quickly disintegrated and disappeared.

Azuro bent down, and his palms reached into the surging viscous liquid. The brilliant halo behind his head exploded.

Kill the thief!

Screams rang out everywhere in the QING QING BUREAU OF INSPECTING AND PROSECUTING. The viscous liquid receded like the tide, and a human form was formed again. It kept melting and disintegrating, and it was almost impossible to maintain it.

The only characteristic of the Kill the Thief Dao Immortal was that it would not rest until one party was dead, which was similar to the power of the Nation Suppressing Sword.

Azuro's figure flashed, and he reappeared in front of Black Lotus.

He twisted his waist, raised his arm, and punched out like thunder.

"BOOM!"

Black Lotus's body exploded, and the viscous liquid exploded in all directions like mud.

At this time, the characteristic of the Fallen Body that could disintegrate at any time became the only thing he could rely on to avoid being killed by the Warrior.

The liquid that looked like raindrops quickly escaped, and converged into a distorted and melted human figure in the distance. Without any hesitation, Black Lotus used the wind form to control the airflow, trying to escape the city of Qingzhou.

"Repent and be saved!"

Azuro put his palms together, and once again used the "commandment" to stop Black Lotus from escaping.

The distorted human figure suddenly stopped, and then collapsed into airflow, dissipating without a trace.

This was the wind form that had carried part of the Fallen Body's power to disguise as Black Lotus, and his real body …

A mass of pitch-black liquid shot towards Jinlian in the air, and suddenly opened up like a curtain, wrapping the Jinlian Taoist priest in it.

Black Lotus's real target was the Jinlian Taoist priest.

"Wait until I digest Jinlian and replenish myself, then you will die without a burial place." Black Lotus laughed wildly.

After a short fight, he knew that this Buddhist Arhat was unbeatable.

The enemy in front of him was both a third-grade Vajra and a second-grade Arhat.

Even if he fought one-on-one, it would be difficult for him to win.

Logically speaking, with a third-grade Yang Spirit who had mastered the power of merit, it was even more impossible for Black Lotus to win.

But Jinlian was different. The two were originally one, and the Black Lotus was a second-grade Yang Spirit, while Jinlian was a third-grade Yang Spirit.

This made the Jinlian Taoist priest a pure tonic.

Suddenly, the Black Lotus in the air screamed:

"Fake? No, impossible … "

Sizzle … Sizzle … The power of merit shot out from the curtain, and plumes of green smoke rose.

The Black Lotus did not get anything, but was burned by the power of merit and was seriously injured.

Azuro's expression was as usual, as if he had already expected this situation. He bent his knees and bounced up, holding the brilliant wheel of light behind his head in his palm.

The third blow!

Boom! His fist pierced through the "curtain". The black lotus screamed miserably as it disintegrated. Black mud splashed in all directions.

At this time, a colorful stream of light rushed into the QING: Bureau of Inspecting and Prosecuting, wrapping the black mud that was splashing all over the sky.

The colorful light turned into the Jinlian Taoist priest, who looked at Azuro and smiled.

This was the real Jinlian Taoist priest, and the one just now was a fake created by the Promised Fruit Immortal.

When Asulo secretly escaped from Alan Tuo, he knew that he would never be able to return. Thus, he took one of the Buddhist relics — the Promised Fruit Seat — along the way.

That day, during the discussion in the Nether Tome chat group, the members worked out a plan to get rid of the Black Lotus in the shortest time possible based on their various trump cards and the enemy's situation.

There were three core conditions for this plan:

First, a doppelganger that could pass off as the real one.

The core was the Jinlian Taoist priest, the bait.

The Promised Fruit Immortal was a second-grade Arhat, and the Jinlian Taoist priest it conjured was weaker than the second-grade Yang Spirit, which coincided with the third-grade Yang Spirit.

Perfect.

Second, the Black Lotus would take the risk out of desperation and take the opportunity to strengthen himself.

The Black Lotus, who had fallen into the path of evil, was greedy and cruel by nature. Fear of death and caution were not the evils of human nature.

When he was in danger and had a chance to reverse the situation, the choice he would make was self-evident.

Third, Azuro's control of the situation.

He had to create a situation in which the Black Lotus could not escape, but not despair, forcing him to take the risk and devour the Jinlian.

When the Black Lotus chose to devour the fake Jinlian, he was destined to go for wool and come home shorn. He would be severely injured by the fake Jinlian's power of virtue, and his death would be hastened.

The plan seemed simple, but it actually included the control of the enemy's psychology, an assessment of one's own strength, and the wisdom to use one's trump cards reasonably.

Of course, with the wisdom of Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen, Huaiqing, Azuro, and the Jinlian Taoist priest, such a plan was actually quite simple.

After all, among these people, there were either geniuses in solving cases or top scholars. There was also the Empress, the traitor who had endured for hundreds of years, and the unfathomable Old Dollar.

"Despicable, despicable, shameless …"

The Jinlian Taoist priest's body kept twisting, as if something was about to rush out of his body.

But the force of the impact was getting weaker and weaker, and finally returned to nothingness.

At this time, the Black Lotus could no longer compete with the Jinlian Taoist priest at his peak.

"It's a success!"

Daoist Master Golden Lotus let out a long sigh.

Even an expert of his level was filled with joy and excitement at this moment.

He had endured humiliation and cultivated the members of the Heaven & Earth Society. He had planned for many years, and today his wish was fulfilled.

He had finally gotten rid of himself.

After that, as long as he used the power of merit to refine the Black Lotus, he would be able to recover his cultivation.

The Jinlian Taoist priest rode the wind and looked down at the QING Bureau of Inspecting and Prosecuting. He saw Hengy Yuan covered in blood like the God of Slaughter, and the Crouching Dragon, Young Phoenix, and Chu Yuanzhen flying like the wind on their swords.

He also saw the Daoist priests of the Earth Sect who had lost their will to fight and were fleeing outside the government office.

"Sigh!"

Rays of colorful light shot out from the Jinlian Taoist priest's body, piercing through the Lotus Taoist priests and purifying their lives and past sins.

"Taoist priest, the Earth Tome fragment has an Artifact Spirit? What did the Black Lotus mean? "

Azuro asked.

"Huh? What did you say? "

The Jinlian Taoist priest had a confused look on his face.

Azuro said faintly:

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll join forces with Xu Qi'an and the other members to expel you from the Heaven & Earth Society."

"Ah, this …" The Jinlian Taoist priest suddenly felt that it was not a good thing to have too many uncontrollable experts in the society.

He thought for a moment and said:

"I'll explain this in detail in the Heaven & Earth Society. Now, let's leave this place and go to Xun Province to help Xu Qi'an. "
