Chapter 880

The carving knife pierced his heart, and Tharlen Agu couldn't help but let out a roar, as if he was suffering from the flames of hell. His voice was mournful and desolate.

"With the Grand Wizard's watertight defense, he must have divined for himself before the battle to see if he was lucky. If not for the Supervisor helping me block the carving knife and conceal the secrets of heaven, it would have been almost impossible to plot against the Grand Wizard.

"Warlocks are born from wizards, and only they can deal with wizards' divinations. Without the help of the Supervisor, it's too difficult to fight you. "

Wei Yuan's carving knife pushed into Tharlen Agu's heart bit by bit, causing the spiritual power in his body to wildly pour out. Under the erosion of the carving knife, his body's functions were rapidly annihilated.

In just two or three seconds, Tharlen Agu had aged twenty years. His appearance was haggard, as if he would "die of old age" at any moment.

The situation suddenly reversed. The expressions of the two third-grade Spirit Intellects changed wildly. They tacitly responded in the same way, aiming their palms at Tharlen Agu and Wei Yuan.

Their left palms glowed red, stimulating Tharlen Agu's vitality to resist the erosion of the Confucian Sages's carving knife. Their right palms launched a killing curse at Wei Yuan through the air.

"Humph!"

Wei Yuan stretched out his left palm and wrapped it around the Grand Wizard's neck. His right hand pulled out the carving knife and stabbed Tharlen Agu's head from the side.

First, he used the carving knife's power to wear down the body's functions so that he couldn't resist. Then, he used the carving knife to destroy the opponent's spirit, completely destroying this first-grade wizard's soul.

At that moment, a sword light flashed.

Puff!

Blood splattered. Wei Yuan was stunned to see his arm cut off, blood gushing out like a fountain.

The severed arm, along with the Confucian Sages's carving knife, was held by a hand.

This was an arm with golden and black light intertwining; it was the arm that reached out from between Tharlen Agu's eyebrows.

Wei Yuan frowned and retreated without the slightest hesitation. Hovering in the air, he examined Salen 'Agu.

Crack, crack … Flesh intertwined and wriggled, bones regenerated, and a brand new arm formed.

Whoosh! Wei Yuan exhaled, and the protective divine light covered his body again, condensing into copper skin and iron bones.

His arm had been chopped off not because his defense wasn't strong enough, but because he had pretended to be weak. The three high-ranked sorcerers had used their blood as a medium to cast a killing curse. Wei Yuan had been severely injured on the spot, and the physique that Wu Fu was so proud of had been broken.

Then, he seized the opportunity and used the Confucian Sages's carving knife to attack Tharlen Agu's defense.

This series of actions not only required him to show weakness, but he also needed to grasp the fleeting opportunity. He could not allow Wei Yuan to recover his copper skin and iron bones.

But he didn't expect that the opponent's plan.

A man wearing a dragon robe slowly emerged from Salen Agu's body. His facial features were regular, his eyebrows were slightly thick, and his eyes were filled with deep malice.

Upon closer inspection, the dragon-robed man's body was as flawless as jade. Golden splendor and black light intertwined on the surface of his body, making him look both holy and evil.



God!

"I know you, Wei Yuan, are good at scheming. Since you dared to attack Jingshan City, you must have something to rely on. You've played with me for so long, and I've played with you for so long. We just want to see what cards the other side has. "

Tharlen Agu smiled. "The Confucian Sages's carving knife … I didn't expect you to use the Confucian Sages's carving knife. Tsk tsk, you, Wei Yuan, are a man who cares about the common people."

His body surface flickered, and the flesh on his chest squirmed. In a flash, he recovered to his original state, and the wrinkles on his skin faded.

However, the Grade-1 Great Sorcerer's aura had weakened significantly.

Just like Wei Yuan's Qi and blood, it had now fallen to the peak of third-grade.

Crack, crack …

Bones shattered, flesh collapsed and contracted. The Yang Spirit refined Wei Yuan's arm into pure Qi and blood, then opened his mouth and swallowed it.

"The taste is not bad. Your Qi and blood must be even better."

The Yang Spirit smiled as he held the Confucian Sages's carving knife in his palm. A thick liquid full of filth and depravity gushed out, eroding the carving knife little by little, obliterating its spirituality.

Just like how the Earth Sect's Taoist Leader temporarily polluted the Nation Guarding Sword's spirituality.

Wei Yuan looked at him deeply, seemingly sad and disappointed. He let out a long sigh. "So it's you, it's really you!"

Emperor Jeanne snorted, and the corners of her mouth curved into a cruel and sinister smile. She looked at the Confucian Sages's carving knife, which was covered by the thick black liquid, and said,

"I need some time to seal it, and you also need some time to recover. For the sake of the more than 20 years of friendship between you and me, ask whatever you want."

Tharlen Agu did not object. His injuries were more serious than Wei Yuan's.

"The organization controlled by Count Pingyuan is working for you, right?" Wei Yuan said.

Emperor Jeanne nodded and sneered. "You call yourself a good person, but if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have tried to kill Count Pingyuan, and the massacre in Chu Zhou City wouldn't have happened."

"And let you continue to eat the lives of innocent people?"

Wei Yuan took out a porcelain bottle, popped the cork, and poured all the elixirs into his mouth.

A few seconds later, his face returned to normal, and he heaved a sigh. "When did you become like this?"

The man in the dragon robe smiled and said, "26 years of Joan of Arc, the Earth Sect's Taoist Leader polluted me."

After a pause, he looked into the distance and said slowly, "My body has always been weak.

"My body has always been weak. Those miraculous elixirs that can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones don't have much effect on me. As the monarch of a nation, he was blessed with great luck. His lifespan was already fixed.

"In the past, I didn't think there was anything good about immortality. But as I grew older, I began to fear death and longed for immortality. But even Confucian Sages couldn't fight against the rules of heaven and earth, let alone me.

"Until 26 years of Joan of Arc, the Earth Sect's Taoist Leader polluted me. He told me that the ruler of the world couldn't live forever. Even a supreme grade cultivator couldn't change this fate. But he can allow me to live longer, far longer than a normal king.

"At that time, my body was getting weaker and weaker. I couldn't resist his bewitchment, so I agreed."

Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "So, in 26 years of Joan of Arc, you ate Lord Huai."

An evil look appeared on Emperor Jeanne's face, and he shook his head.

"No, it's assimilation. I refined his soul and received his memories. He was me, and I was him. This was one of the mysteries of the Three Pure Ones.

"But if I took over someone else's body, the body and the soul wouldn't be compatible, and the consequences would be endless. How could I do something like burning my own path of retreat?

"Unfortunately, I wasn't a true Daoist. Even with the help of the Earth Sect's Taoist Leader, my main soul was still incomplete after I forcefully refined Lord Huai's soul."

Without the help of the Earth Sect's Taoist Leader, he wouldn't have been able to use the Three Pure Ones.

Wei Yuan thought for a moment and said, "What about Yuan Jing? Was he also devoured by you?"

Empress Jeanne shook her head and said:

"The two brothers should have assimilated with me at that time, but as I said before, after I refined Duke Huai's soul, my main soul was unable to repair the part of the soul that was stripped away, and it became incomplete.

"Under such circumstances, how could I devour Yuan Jing? I had to change my plan and let the Earth Sect's Taoist Leader use a Daoist Hypnosis Spell to erase Yuan Jing's memory. Then, he planted a seed of demonic thoughts in his sea of consciousness.

"As for me, after making all the necessary preparations, I faked my death and hid in the Dragon Vein. It was the only place where I could avoid the Supervisor's attention. I lay dormant quietly, waiting for an opportunity to refine Yuanjing.

"To my surprise, Yuan Jing used me as a warning and no longer delegated power to the Grand Secretary. He worked hard to govern the country while weighing the pros and cons. Great Feng's national strength was growing by the day, and with its luck, I had no chance to devour it, until you appeared … "

Wei Yuan was stunned.

"Have you forgotten?"

Empress Zhen De stared at Wei Yuan, the smile on her face becoming more and more exaggerated.

"In the sixth year of Yuan Jing's reign, General Dugu of the North passed away. You personally led the army and defeated the barbarian army. Why don't you think about why you went to war? "

Wei Yuan's eyes widened as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Hahaha …" Empress Zhen De laughed maniacally.

"The Empress of Daibun, the motherly Empress of the world, actually ate with a eunuch in the palace, and that eunuch was her childhood sweetheart. No man could bear such a blow, let alone an obstinate emperor like Yuan Jing. "

He laughed wildly, wantonly, and his body rocked back and forth as he laughed.

"From then on, the demonic thoughts in Yuan Jing's sea of consciousness finally awakened, slowly eroding and polluting him. The reason why Yuan Jing didn't kill you and the Empress was that he was affected by the demonic thoughts and became cold and cunning. After learning about the past between you and the Empress, he changed his mind and wanted to use the Empress to control you.

"Then came the Battle of Shanhai Pass, which shook the fate of Daibun. At the end of the Battle of Shanhai Pass, I took the opportunity to refine Yuan Jing and replace him.

"After replacing Yuan Jing, I learned from the painful experience and stopped touching women, concentrating on cultivation. While refining pills and taking bait, I let Count Pingyuan continue to rob people. After more than 40 years, I finally cultivated the Yang Spirit and stepped into the Second Grade Tribulation Stage. Wei Yuan, do you think I should thank you? "

The real Yuan Jing had passed away twenty years ago.

"By the way, I can tell you another secret. The person who secretly told Yuan Jing about your relationship with the Empress was the Crown Prince's mother, Imperial Concubine Chen." Empress Zhen De threw another bomb.

"Imperial Concubine Chen …" Wei Yuan was silent for a long time. "Why did the Earth Sect's Taoist Master go through so much trouble to help you?"

Empress Zhen De sneered. "At that time, the Earth Sect's Taoist Master was already showing signs of turning into a demon, but the good thoughts were stronger than the evil thoughts, so he suppressed them. In order to prevent himself from being refined and eliminated, the evil thoughts thought of a way.

"Back when we were discussing Dao, the evil thoughts sensed my desire for immortality and secretly corrupted me, magnifying my desire for immortality. "Then, one day, when I had the chance to temporarily control the body, he bewitched me and plotted with me.

"After that, the Earth Sect's Taoist Master returned to the sect and went into seclusion. The good and evil thoughts were entangled for 40 years. Forty years later, the Earth Sect's Taoist Master turned into a demon and his Primordial Spirit was split. The good thoughts lingered on and escaped.

Wei Yuan took out another porcelain bottle and swallowed a pill. He pondered for a moment and said,

"He bewitched the king to live forever and devoured his own son. For the past 40 years, the people had no way to live and the country's power was on the decline. He was bound to be plagued by evil … So, after 40 years, the Earth Sect's Taoist Master completely turned into a demon. However, there's one thing I don't understand. Even though you have achieved the Three Pure Ones with One Breath and have your current cultivation, you are still the king of the world. How do you achieve immortality? "

Empress Zhen De's eyes were filled with malice. She glanced at the Confucian Sages carving knife and said softly.

"Later on, someone taught me how to live a long life as an emperor. His words truly enlightened me. Over the past twenty years, all of my schemes were started by that person. Including today, using the Sorcerer God as bait to lure you was the most important step in my plan. "

The carving knife was completely polluted and lost all its spirituality.

"Although I can only corrupt it for half a minute, it's enough." Empress Zhen De threw it off the cliff and turned to look at Wei Yuan. She smiled sinisterly.

"How are you going to overtake us and seal the Sorcerer God?"

There was a Grand Wizard, two Spirit Intellects, and a Tribulation Passing Stage powerhouse.

Wei Yuan was alone, a Warrior of the Second Stage.

Empress Zhen De raised her hand as if she was pinching something from the air. She pinched it with her fingertips and flicked it.

A Sword Qi whizzed out. One turned into two, two turned into three, and three turned into thousands.

The dense Sword Qi was like a school of fish at the bottom of the sea. It was like a torrential flood, shooting towards Wei Yuan.

Every Sword Qi could easily kill a Fourth Stage powerhouse. In addition, the Sword Qi was mixed with Vital Spirit attacks.

Renzong's Sword Qi and Heart Sword were one.

Wei Yuan crossed his arms in front of his chest and moved forward against the dense rain of Sword Qi. Ding, ding, ding … His body exploded with a dazzling light.

At a certain moment, the Sword Qi tore Wei Yuan apart, causing him to dissipate like an illusion.

Empress Zhen De rode the golden light and retreated.

Wei Yuan's figure reappeared, but he missed.

Apart from Buddhist monks, no other High Stage powerhouse dared to let the Warrior get close to them.

The two of them chased each other through the mountains. Layers of Qi explosions stacked on top of each other, causing the mountains to collapse and boulders to tumble down. At a certain moment, a large part of the forest suddenly "slid down", with a neat fracture.

Sometimes, the sound of Qi explosions would come from the sea, setting off raging waves and tsunamis.

But no matter how hard the bystanders tried, they could not see the figures of the two Peak powerhouses.

In this battle, Rank 3 powerhouses like Ilbu and Wu Da Pagoda could only play supporting roles, occasionally seizing opportunities to interfere with Wei Yuan's Killing Curses.

Or, using the core ability of the Spirit Intellect, Empress Zhen De's Sword Qi had spirituality, so that they would not miss their target. This way, they could slowly wear down Wei Yuan's Qi and blood.

Apart from wearing down, there was almost no other way for the major systems to quickly kill a Warrior of the Third Stage or above.

Salen Agu did not participate in the battle. He sighed. "Warrior who can break formations is really a headache."

His figure blurred again, as if separated from the real world by an invisible curtain.

Salen Agu raised his voice. "Empress Zhen De, I'll lend you the Celestiality of this area. Do you have the confidence to kill Wei Yuan?"

Empress Zhen De stopped in the air and laughed wildly. "Thank you, Grand Wizard, for helping me kill this traitor."

Salen Agu lifted his foot and stomped. "The earth gave me spirituality."

Rocks weathered and the soil turned into yellow sand. Waves of Earth and Metal Spiritual Energy, using Salen Agu as a medium, escaped into the void and poured onto Empress Zhen De.

"The plants gave me spirituality."

Flowers and trees withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The verdant Wood Spiritual Energy poured onto Empress Zhen De's body.

"The ocean gave me spirituality."

The sparkling surface of the sea and the pitch-black Water Spiritual Energy poured onto Empress Zhen De's body.

"The Fire Beacon gave me spirituality …"

As the Celestiality of Heaven and Earth was absorbed, Empress Zhen De's aura grew. At this moment, he seemed to have become the ruler of this place, looking down coldly at the traitor.

Empress Zhen De slowly "pulled out" a sword. From the void, he pulled out a sword with the five colors of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The power of the Five Elements, the foundation of all things.

Ilbu, Wu Da's Pagoda and Salen Agu reached out at the same time, using their core abilities as Spirit Intelligencers to give the sword spirituality.

After doing all this, Salen Agu, the Grand Wizard of the Witchcraft Religion, a First Stage Wizard, quickly weakened.

A First Stage Wizard was close to exhaustion.

In the next hundred years, the area around Jing Mountain would turn into a wasteland.

The sword's aura grew again.

This sword seemed to have surpassed its grade.

Empress Zhen De's hand trembled as she held the sword, as if she could not control it.

The power of two Rank-3s, one Rank-1s, and one Rank-2s was condensed in this strike.

In this era, it would be invincible.

Far away on the battlefield, whether it was the Daibun Army or the Northeastern Army, every soldier could feel the majestic might of the Heavens. Fear filled their hearts. Some fled like rats, some urinated and defecated, and some died on the spot.

Zhang Kaitai and the other experts felt their scalps go numb. They suppressed their fear and looked at the source of the majesty, at the five-colored sword light that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Beneath the sword light was Wei Yuan, dressed in tattered green robes.

"Duke Wei …."

The eyes of the Jinluo soldiers turned red, and their faces went pale.

This sword strike caused them to be unable to even arouse the thought of resisting, nor could they arouse the thought of fleeing.

Up to this point in the battle, things had exceeded the expectations of these high-ranking military officials. Layer after layer, scene after scene, they were both frightened and at a loss.

Nalan Yan and the other shamans raised their heads and looked at the sword energy in the sky. Their hearts were shaken.

"Kill him. Kill Wei Yuan …." Nalan Yan's eyes were bloodshot.

He could avenge his father's death today.

"Kill Wei Yuan!" A wizard shouted.

"Kill Wei Yuan …."

"Kill Wei Yuan …."

Shouts rose and fell, increasing in number. Those who still had energy to spare, or those who had closed their eyes and didn't dare to watch, responded one after another.

All the voices converged. "Kill Wei Yuan!"

Wei Yuan stood on the surface of the sea and looked up at the arrogant sword light. He looked at the arrogant Empress Zhen De.

In his mind, the scene of that kid riding a horse on the hillside and singing a song to send them off replayed.

It was as if his voice rang in his ears again.

"Smoke rises and the mountains look north. The dragon rises and the horse whinnied. The sword energy is like frost!"

"My heart is like the Yellow River. Who can resist me for twenty years?"

"Who can resist me for twenty years?" Wei Yuan laughed. "Then I'm going to be invincible."

He took out a Confucian crown from his tattered green robes and slowly put it on.

The second most precious treasure of Yunlu Academy: the Lesser Sage Confucian Crown!

"Come!"

He gently waved his hand.

The Confucian Sages's carving knife came to life and washed away the filth. It turned into a stream of light and sent itself into Wei Yuan's hand.

He looked towards the sky and shouted, "Come!"

A ray of clear light shone down from the blue sky onto Wei Yuan's body.

This clear light came from Dean Zhao Shou, the blessing of a third-rank Confucian who had almost lost his life.

The Confucian crown and carving knife bloomed with dazzling Light.

Finally, a piece of paper was drawn from his sleeve. On the paper was a very common spell, a spell that wizards were familiar with!

The core ability of the ritual — Summon the Heroic Soul.

Seeing this, the three wizards' eyebrows twitched and an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.

"Hiss!"

As the paper burned, Wei Yuan was in high spirits and shouted, "Invite — Sage — Confucian —"

In an instant, the world was filled with clear air!
