The sacrificial book was filled with praises for the God of Balance because it was compiled by the sacrificial priest of the EsGod. However, in reality, these things were not indispensable during the summoning ritual.
Ordinary people did not have spirituality, so they could only use words to communicate with the gods and trigger the ritual.
As a Xuanxiu, Zhang Yu naturally would not recite these words. He only shone his spiritual light on it, and it affected the spirituality that existed in it.
As he cast his spiritual light, layers of visible ripples floated out from the book. Dark clouds suddenly gathered above his head, and the sky seemed to darken. On the circle of stones on the altar, light began to flash and turn into pillars of light, rushing up one after another.
The giant bull standing in the center of the mound had already regained consciousness due to the commotion. However, after the ritual began, it had nowhere to go. Moreover, after the divine power of the Book of Sacrifice leaked out, it immediately knelt on all fours and lay on the ground, appearing extremely obedient.
Yan Yuming and the others, who were far away, looked at the changes in the sky near the altar and were shocked.
This was undoubtedly the power of a god.
Although it was an EsGod, the power it possessed was real.
Even standing there, they could feel the suffocating pressure. It was hard to imagine how much pressure one would have to endure standing under the altar and facing the divine power directly.
This was originally a worrying situation, but Yan Yuming was full of confidence in his teacher because the latter had used many battles to prove that the so-called EsGod was just a slightly stronger enemy that could be defeated.
Today would not be an exception!
Zhang Yu looked up at the sky. In his eyes, the changes in the sky were caused by the resonance between the altar and the divine power when the spiritual energy was at its peak.
This was the God of Balance venting its "anger" at Sui Xiong after realizing Sui Xiong's goal. It was expressing its "anger" to Sui Xiong.
In fact, if EsGod was in a spiritual state and did not have a living being as a vessel, he would not have any emotions. These external things were just deliberately displayed to let his believers understand his power. At the same time, he let his believers know what kind of actions were rejected and not needed by the god.
Under normal circumstances, these methods were very useful. Not to mention the believers, even Yan Yuming and the others who had retreated far away could not help but feel a little scared.
However, all of this did not deter Zhang Yu at all. He stood there calmly. This was because he clearly knew that these changes in the sky were only big and did not have any direct destructive power. He only needed to quietly watch the other party perform and wait for the ritual to end.
After a while, the rotten internal organs and flesh on the altar gradually melted away, which meant that the gods had accepted the sacrifices.
Of course, the things prepared by Xuanfu were not good sacrifices. Some of the organs were still rotten, and they had no respect for the God of Balance at all. This was probably one of the reasons why the other party expressed such strong dissatisfaction.
After a while, a ray of light suddenly shot down from the dark clouds, directly slamming into the body of the White Mountain Giant Yak.
Zhang Yu judged that it seemed like the strength of the host and his adjustment of the altar had played a role. The God of Balance had come with quite a lot of power this time.
In fact, he could have set up more restrictions on the altar in advance. This way, it would have been much easier to kill this carrier of divine power. However, the core of the God of Balance's divine power was that the two ends of the scale had to be relatively fair.
If he had set up so many restrictions in advance, the amount of divine power summoned by the ritual would have been reduced correspondingly, and he would not have achieved his original goal. Thus, he simply canceled this step.
Of course, as for the definition of fairness, the final interpretation was in the hands of the God of Balance. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the sacrifice would be decided by him.
However, with the Book of Sacrifice in hand, it was different.
Having this thing was equivalent to reaching an agreement with this EsGod. As long as he followed the steps given by the EsGod, no matter how bad the process and ritual were, the EsGod would have to give him a fair response.
After receiving the divine power, the giant white mountain shook its head and stood up from its original kneeling position. When it looked at Zhang Yu, its eyes instantly turned red, as if it was transmitting its anger.
Zhang Yu did not care. He casually threw the Book of Sacrifice away, and with a thought, the Xia Sword suddenly turned into a rainbow and slashed forward like lightning.
The white mountain lowered its head, and the spiral horn on its head collided with the blade of the sword, producing a clanging sound.
With another thought, Zhang Yu swung his sword, and the sword light changed direction. This time, the sword light slashed down heavily on the monster's back. However, the spiritual surface only flashed for a moment, and although a wound appeared on the skin below, it disappeared in an instant.
He immediately realised that just relying on his current flying swords was not enough to cause too much damage to it. Moreover, it was different from Almotai in that it possessed astonishing recovery abilities. This kind of attack was neither painful nor itchy. As a result, this time, he had to personally take the field and slash it with his sword.
With that thought, he stepped forward and grabbed the flying sword. In an instant, he brushed past the white mountain, and at the same time, the blade of the sword left a cut on its body.
In his sword, not only did it have speed, it also had the abundant power obtained from breaking the body's restraints. No matter how strong the white mountain was, it could not help but stagger half a step to the side.
However, the cut on its body quickly faded and disappeared in a moment. After stabilizing its body, it tried to turn around to deal with him. However, its body was too big, and its movements seemed to be slightly sluggish.
At this moment, Zhang Yu had already circled behind him. At the same time that he raised his sword, a layer of light enveloped the blade. Immediately after, the blade fell and heavily chopped down on his opponent's thick and solid leg!
This sword was like cutting through solid wood, and produced a muffled sound. Although it did not cut off the leg, it broke most of the bones and tendons. The white mountain could no longer support its huge body, and fell to the side.
At this moment, Zhang Yu was slightly surprised. Even though he had made a certain estimation of this opponent when he was choosing a host body and thought that after infusing it with Divine Power, other than strength and recovery ability that might be further enhanced, other aspects might become weak. However, when the real battle began, he realized that the opponent's performance was even worse than he had imagined.
Since that was the case, in the following battle, he only needed to rely on his speed to continuously damage it.
If this EsGod wanted to turn the tables, it would have to attach more spirituality to this body, making the spirituality surpass the physical aspect. Only then would it be able to close the gap in speed and reaction.
However, the EsGod would probably not do that. Once the sacrificial ceremony was over, the amount of divine power infused into the host body had already been determined. Furthermore, with the brain capacity of this host body, it would not consider such a complicated problem and would only act based on instinct.
The following battle was no longer suspenseful.
The huge and bloated body of the giant bull became a huge burden. It could not keep up with Zhang Yu's movements at all. Although it would recover very quickly after being covered in cuts and bruises, these all required the divine power infused into the body. As the divine power continued to weaken, it also gradually weakened.
If the host body was a person, then it would be thinking about how to escape the remaining divine power as soon as possible to reduce this loss. However, it was only a bull, so it obviously would not do that.
As time passed, the host body's instincts gradually gained the upper hand, cutting off this possibility.
After seeing that it was obviously weakening, Zhang Yu consecutively attacked its vital points. One of the attacks even directly pierced through the giant bull's head, which greatly accelerated the consumption of divine power.
After a long time, the divine power in this giant white bull was almost exhausted.
The infusion of divine power allowed the host body to obtain great power, but this was not without a price. Its life force and divine power had already merged into one. The disappearance of divine power also meant that its flame of life was extinguished.
With a loud bang, the body that was like a small mountain fell heavily onto the ground. After breathing for more than ten times, it completely stopped moving.
Zhang Yu looked to the side. A burst of flames suddenly appeared on the sacrificial book, and then it turned into a pile of ashes. It was swept away by the wind, and in a short while, it disappeared without a trace.
He shook his sleeves and then sheathed his sword.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Yan Yuming, who was hiding in the distance, saw that there was no movement here, so he came to check. When he saw this scene, he could not help but be excited. He hurriedly turned over and came forward. He bowed and exclaimed, "Teacher, this host body was killed by you?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "The matter is settled. Find someone to clean it up. You can go back first. I still have something to do."
"Yes!"
Yan Yuming clasped his hands together and replied excitedly.
Zhang Yu's body blossomed with light, and he flew up again. This time, he flew to the south. Not long after, he saw a mound with seven white stones in the distance. This place was surrounded by a dry riverbed, so it was very easy to recognize.
This was the place where the natives and Monk Hunjang had agreed. If the natives' hunting today went smoothly, then the two sides would trade here.
He walked around in a circle, and as soon as the light fell, he stood on top of the mound. He held the Xia Sword in his hand and looked at the setting sun in the distance slowly falling from the horizon. Then, the brilliant stars emerged from the night sky.
After a long time, two figures came from afar.
The information of these two people was immediately reflected in Zhang Yu's lake. He was surprised to find that he knew these two people. One of them was Cai Pa, and the other one was one of the five Monk Hunjang he met at the Ji River.
The immoral cultivator saw Zhang Yu standing on the mound with a sword in his hand. He thought for a while and said, "You … it's you?"
Cai Pa also said, "Junior Brother Zhang, why are you here?" Then, he noticed that a green light appeared in his companion's eyes. He seemed to have thought of something and his face changed. "You … Junior Brother Zhang, go quickly!"
The immoral cultivator showed a sinister smile and said, "Since you're here, how can you leave so easily? I just happen to lack a medicine refining ingredient, so I'll use you as a substitute. " As he spoke, he leaped forward. At the same time, a turbid evil aura rose from his body.
Cai Pa hurriedly reminded him, "Junior Brother Zhang, be careful!"
He was about to rush forward to help when a sword light flashed in the sky. Then, a head flew up into the sky, and a headless corpse fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground.
He was instantly stunned, and his figure that was about to charge forward also came to a halt.
The sword light flashed and cut off the head. It suddenly turned in the air and returned to where it came from. Zhang Yu stretched out his hand, grabbed the sword hilt, and put it back into the sheath. He looked so relaxed that it was as if he had just crushed a bug. He looked up at Cai Pa and said, "Senior Brother Cai, let's talk?"
