Rumble!
There was a loud noise. All the people who lived in the nearby Castle Town, whether they were warriors, merchants, or farmers, all saw a strange scene!
In broad daylight, a thick bolt of white lightning suddenly streaked down from the sky and struck the ground.
"Heaven … Heaven's wrath!"
Many farmers were scared out of their wits at this moment, and the warriors and cultivators hurriedly avoided it. In this direction, they felt a danger that seemed to destroy everything!
"He didn't die …"
The original farmhouse had long been reduced to ashes. Next to the huge pit, Wu Ming's figure slowly emerged. "Good luck, huh?"
Opposite him, the warrior's bamboo hat had long disappeared, and a white-haired, red-eyed youth appeared. A green light slowly dissipated in front of him. With a fearful and certain expression, he said, "Authority holder?"
"Unfortunately … we have no grievances, but we have to become mortal enemies …"
Wu Ming sighed, and lightning burst out from his hands.
"Even in the main shrine, other Reincarnators kill each other for merit, cultivation methods, and even a chance to survive. Not to mention us authority holders … "
The red-eyed youth smiled. "After all … to be able to plunder the other party's authority, you and I can imagine what will happen in the end … The temptation is too great …"
"Yes!"
Wu Ming waved his big sleeves, and the surrounding soil, water, and vegetation suddenly went crazy. The Five Elements Mutual Generation spell was cast, and it transformed into five layers of phantoms: Gold Chop, Wood Strike, Water Flood, Fire Burn, and Earth Cover.
Among the layers of phantoms, a lightning swept across in an instant!
"Five Elements spell, and Thunder spell! You are a monk! Immortal! "
The red-eyed youth instantly confirmed the specialization and rank of the authority holder in front of him, but he didn't expect Wu Ming to come so quickly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Five Elements Mutual Generation spell bombarded the top of his head.
And after the five spells, it was the even more lethal Thunder spell!
Boom!
After the lightning passed, the man stood in the same place. His clothes were slightly torn, revealing pieces of fine green scales.
This layer of scales was glowing with a green light, like a fine suit of armor. Not only was it able to withstand the attacks of the five-elemental spell techniques, but it was also able to resist the lightning.
"Hiss, hiss …"
Behind the young man, the phantom of a flying serpent suddenly appeared, and a strong sense of oppression emerged.
"Demonic Bloodline? No! You've transplanted the bloodline of a Divine Beast! … White hair, red eyes, and snake scales. Are these the external manifestations of the bloodline? Flying Snake? "
Wu Ming stared at the half-snake opponent in front of him and said with some apprehension.
The Ancient Records of Mountains and Seas states, "The Flying Serpent flies without legs. It is the God of Fire. Its divinity is gentle, but its mouth is venomous. It deals with fire, strangeness, fear, dreams, evil, and bewitchment. Strange things happen in the palace. Fire bandits are alarmed. Mutual benefit is hidden, and mutual harm is hidden. The master of the Overlooking Scenery Sect was a candle, and the master of the Overlooking Shock Sect was a disaster. Fire of the South, the God of Deceit. "
Another scripture states, "Snake cultivates for a thousand years and becomes a Flying Snake. It overcomes the Heavenly Tribulation and becomes a Divine Dragon!"
From this, it could be seen that the Flying Snake was an ancient giant serpent. It was not inferior to a Divine Beast of the dragon species and could not be underestimated.
Even though the person in front of him only had a trace of its bloodline, it was still very powerful.
Wu Ming could clearly sense the opponent's strength — the pinnacle of the third-level!
If he had encountered this person before his breakthrough, he would definitely have been in danger. Even now, with the miraculous bloodline, this person could fight him as an equal.
"Perfected Daofa, you are proficient in the Thunder spell! You are qualified to know my name! "
The red-eyed youth spoke in a hissing voice, "My name is Ye Bai, and I have indeed transplanted the blood of the Flying Serpent … You can never imagine how powerful this bloodline is. Even if it is only a trace, it has allowed my Nine Transformations of Serpent Transformation to advance to the Twelve Layers of Green Cloud Scale Armor!"
His tongue had also lengthened and seemed to be forked. He licked the air suspiciously. "And I can feel that there's something on you that's greatly beneficial to my bloodline … It's even enough to allow my cultivation technique to advance again!"
"Be honored … Your death will benefit me. Hand over that thing now, and I may consider letting you die a quick death!"
"Idiot!"
What answered him was a bolt of lightning from Wu Ming without hesitation.
"Five Thunder Secret Technique — Summon Thunder Technique!"
Rumble!
The sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds, and a blazing white light bombarded down.
Ye Bai let out a strange cry, and a look of fear appeared in his red eyes. He hurriedly retreated.
His Flying Serpent Scale Armor had not reached the advanced stage, so he was not afraid of ordinary spells of the five elements. However, in the face of the power of the Thunder Technique, he was still a little afraid.
"Very well, today I will let you witness the power of my Twelve Layers of Green Cloud Scale Armor!"
Ye Bai chanted a spell, and layers of green clouds flowed out from the scales on his body. They combined with the shadow of the Flying Serpent behind him, and turned into a giant green snake shadow. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Wu Ming.
"Good timing!"
Wu Ming laughed loudly, and the Cloud Seal Thunder Talisman in his sea of consciousness continued to revolve. The thunder from his hand resonated with the power of the heaven and earth. Although it did not borrow the power of the heaven and earth to kill the Daitengu, it was still extremely sharp.
Looking from afar, one could see a giant green snake fighting with the thunder, and the aftershocks continued to spread.
Rumble! Rumble!
The ground shook continuously, and smoke and dust rose into the air.
"How troublesome …"
After another violent flash of lightning, the green snake dissipated, and Ye Bai's figure appeared. A few of his scales were charred black, and his eyes looked as if he was about to devour someone.
Wu Ming's expression was calm, but when he felt the spiritual energy in his sea of consciousness decreasing, he furrowed his brows. "This is a little troublesome …"
Ye Bai was also a peak level three cultivator, and he had the bloodline of a mythical beast. His stamina was long, and his recovery speed was terrifying. In terms of true strength, Ye Bai might even be stronger than him.
Of course, Wu Ming was a Perfected Daoist, and he had the help of the Thunder spell, so he wasn't any weaker.
Therefore, the result of the battle was that they were evenly matched, and no one could do anything to the other.
"I have killed a few Perfected Daoists … I have to admit, you are the most troublesome!"
Ye Bai mumbled, "But everything is about to end!"
In his hand, a scroll with terrifying energy fluctuations appeared. The light and runes on the scroll looked very familiar to Wu Ming.
"As expected … if I can give cannon fodder, how can I not have some in stock?"
Wu Ming sighed. The Heavenly Designer Ring flashed, and a greenish-purple Thunder Pearl appeared. He shot it out without hesitation.
Boom!
The greenish-white light of the thunder instantly destroyed the line of fire from the scroll, and even enveloped Ye Bai's entire body.
"You think I don't know how to use merit points to smash people?"
Seeing Ye Bai's astonished expression as he was engulfed by the lightning, a smile appeared on Wu Ming's face.
This Thunder Pearl was called the Ten Destructive God-Demon Thunder, and it was listed on the Heavenly Merit List. It was a one-time-use killing weapon, and it was extremely powerful.
Basically, most of the merit points that he had earned last time, other than using them to exchange for cultivation materials, were spent on this.
The Thunder spell, which had reached level five in power, was naturally very effective. Not only did it break through Ye Bai's counterattack, but it also engulfed him.
"Eh? That's not right … "
Wherever the lightning passed, nothing was left. However, Wu Ming's expression changed drastically. "The main temple didn't give me a mission completion notification, which means that this Ye Bai isn't completely dead … but I'm sure that this is his real body, and I saw him being engulfed by the lightning …"
However, the main temple wouldn't lie about this. After a long while, Wu Ming finally admitted the truth gloomily. "Did they prepare a way to revive him somewhere else?"
"I wonder if it's the authority? Or the main temple's exchange? But none of them are cheap. They must have paid a terrifying price, right? "
Wu Ming's expression was gloomy. "Since we didn't succeed this time, he'll definitely be more careful next time … if he escapes, it'll be even more troublesome …"
"But with this attack, we've finally confirmed his identity and abilities … Moreover, we've used up so many of his items. I don't believe that he'll have much left after this body is destroyed. In the end, we've gained something …"
Wu Ming looked at the group of priests, Onmyoji, and swordsman that were faintly appearing in the sky. He had no intention of fighting them head-on. His figure flashed a few times and disappeared into the darkness.
After all, this was the opponent's home ground. There was no point in fighting pointless.
In his heart, he vaguely made up his mind. "My strength is too close to Ye Bai's … I'm afraid it's very difficult for one side to deal with the other, so it's reached the point where I need to borrow external help? Looks like I really need to develop Mount Tsukiami's Toda Maru! "
After he and Ye Bai did their dirty deeds, they patted their butts and ran off. Among the clergy that followed closely behind, an old clergy looked at the traces of wanton looting and was completely dumbfounded. "Gods … This has already exceeded the limits of the human world … Could it be that the two gods are angry?"
…
Mount Tsukiami, inside Mount Tsukiami's Toda Maru.
In the main pavilion, Wu Ming personally presided over the discussion.
"My Lord, in this attack, five samurai from our family died, and there are 27 Ashigaru …"
Ozu Hayakichi's face was as gloomy as water. Not only him, but many of the samurai beside him were the same.
"In terms of material losses, more than ten houses need to be repaired, and those who died in the battle also need to be compensated according to the standard set by my Lord, at least 5,000 coins!"
Tachibana Shigesuke's face was also quite ugly.
"Those who died for the family must be rewarded handsomely! We still have a lot of money, and this must be passed on! "
Wu Ming made the final decision. "Everyone! I'm here today to determine the samurai rules of the Gui Family! "
"Ha!"
Everyone knelt down and listened.
"In the Gui Family, the samurai are divided into five ranks from low to high: Ashigaru Leader, Ashigaru General, Guard General, Subordinate General, and Family Elder! The Ashigaru Leader is an official samurai with a family name and a hereditary Knowledge Executor! The lowest standard is a hundred stones of Knowledge Executor, and twenty Ashigaru to battle! "
"Koizumi Kenichi … Koizumi Kenichi … Koizumi Kenichi, Tachibana Shigesuke, and Ozu Hayakichi, I appoint you as the Ashigaru Leaders of the family!"
"Thank you, my Lord!"
This time, they were promoted to real samurai. The seven of them knelt down excitedly.
