Chapter 100: That...disciple knows
"Chidori!"
With a roar, Sha Kui shuddered and his giant lightning bow trembled violently! A giant bird, formed entirely of raging lightning, shot off the bowstring!
Extreme lightning crackled and leaped, creating a blinding static field! Below, many martial artists' hair stood on end uncontrollably!
In the air,
With his water god power restricted, a gigantic black mantis phantom suddenly rose behind Zhang Ping! He made a grasping motion with both hands, and as the black mist surged, it condensed into a dark longsword!
"Ghost Blade, Ashes of Ruins!"
A hundred-meter-long blade of energy surged out like a black wave, crashing violently into the giant thunder bird!
Amidst a deafening roar, lightning and blade energy tore and clashed wildly!
Seeing his attack blocked, Sha Kui didn't hesitate and immediately fired a second Thunderbird! A continuous rain of lightning arrows followed closely behind, the attack as fierce as a tidal wave!
Zhang Ping frowned, decisively stopped the rain of fire, and focused his energy on dealing with this fierce attack.
The two fought fiercely in the air, and the violent energy shockwaves cleared away a large number of demons below!
On the flank of the martial arts alliance, the clanging of armor was like a torrential downpour! The Black Abyss Army, which had been preparing for a long time, finally launched its charge!
A dense aura of bloodlust gathered above their heads, transforming into a massive crimson spear! The spear pierced fiercely into the scattered ranks of the demons!
Wherever the spear passed, demons fell like straws!
Sha Kui drew his bow, and another thunderbird shot towards the Black Abyss Army, but it was forcibly intercepted by a figure that suddenly grew taller!
"Demons! Leave your lives behind today!" Wen Gaoyang's white hair and beard moved without wind, and his pupils were completely dyed earthy yellow! His blood and qi were completely transformed into thick earthy yellow energy, and lightning struck him, with eighty percent of the power being channeled into the earth!
Just as Zhang Ping was about to swing his sword again, he caught a glimpse of Wen Gaoyang's current state and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Not bad strength."
At this moment, Wen Gaoyang's aura had already subtly surpassed that of an ordinary late-stage Marrow Infusion Realm cultivator!
Zhang Ping remembered that he was only at the mid-stage of the Marrow Infusion Realm before. Such a rapid increase in strength in such a short time was quite remarkable.
Without the help of the Water God's power, Zhang Ping knew he would fall short if he relied solely on his own strength, even with the support of his vast life force beast patterns.
It seems that the warriors of the Great Wei are not as simple as he imagined.
"Old man! You've been hiding it well!" Sha Kui stared at Wen Gaoyang, whose aura had changed drastically, a hint of apprehension appearing in his eyes.
"Hmph! Nine Yang Blade Technique!" Wen Gaoyang didn't waste any words and swung his blade to strike!
Zhang Ping launched a pincer attack from the other side with perfect coordination!
Caught in a pincer attack, Sha Kui roared repeatedly! Lightning crackled around him, striking the two men relentlessly, but with little effect.
One elemental being channeled its energy into the ground, while the other, with its Xuanwu armor, withstood the lightning without injury! It was utterly frustrated. Had it been any other opponent, they would have been tormented by the lightning long ago…
The blade energy crisscrossed, slicing open gashes on the massive, silvery-white body of the demon Kui! No blood was seen in the wounds, only the white, blocky structures inside were revealed.
On the battlefield below, as the Black Abyss Army's iron hooves shattered the demon lines, the battle turned completely one-sided! Although the demons were numerous, they could not withstand the relentless onslaught of the Blood Fiend Spears, resulting in countless deaths and injuries!
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, a fierce glint flashed in Sha Kui's eyes, and he suddenly raised his hand and plunged it into his own chest! He pulled out a black stone the size of a palm!
Without hesitation, it squeezed hard!
click!
Stone crushing!
Seeing this, Zhang Ping raised an eyebrow and warned, "Be careful!"
Wen Gaoyang, who was about to pounce, was startled by these words and abruptly stopped, retreating rapidly!
Where the stone shattered, an extremely deep black dot suddenly appeared, and in an instant it expanded into a huge black hole!
An eerie aura emanated from the black hole.
Unlike last time, this time there was no Demon Lord in sight, only a thick black mist that swept out from it, instantly enveloping the massive body of the Demon Lord and about to drag it into the black hole.
"What is this?" Wen Gaoyang's expression changed drastically as he looked at Zhang Ping in surprise and doubt.
"The Demon Lord's methods." Zhang Ping frowned.
"The Demon Lord?!" Wen Gaoyang exclaimed in shock!
This name has appeared countless times within the Demon Exorcism Bureau since the beginning of the demonic chaos, but no one has ever seen the Demon Lord.
The martial artist at the Marrow Transformation Realm who was secretly sent to investigate the demons' rear several months ago has also not returned with any news and has been judged dead by his superiors.
This black hole was actually created by the Demon Lord?!
Unwilling to let Sha Kui escape, Wen Gaoyang gritted his teeth and unleashed a powerful sword strike towards the black hole!
The blade energy disappeared into the black hole, like a mud ox entering the sea, without even causing a ripple!
"This..." Wen Gaoyang's face turned ashen.
Inside the black hole, Sha Kui glanced back at the two: "I... will return!"
Before the words were even finished, the black hole violently twisted and collapsed, eventually turning into nothingness and disappearing completely.
In the air, the two remained silent.
Zhang Ping stared at the spot where the black hole disappeared, frowning as he pondered the principles and solutions to this strange passage.
Wen Gaoyang's face was grim, and his eyes showed a hint of worry.
He quickly composed himself, turned around, and solemnly clasped his hands in thanks to Zhang Ping: "Thank you for your help today, young friend! Please wait a moment while I finish dealing with these remaining demons, and then we can have a chat!"
After saying that, he plunged down and charged into the fleeing demons below.
When the demons on the battlefield noticed that Sha Kui was running away, they collapsed and fled in all directions.
In less than half an hour, the battlefield was completely quelled, leaving only human warriors.
The corpses of demons were piled up like mountains. Awaiting further action.
Some people use containers to collect the demon blood accumulated in the craters, and some even take out tools to dig up the soil soaked in blood.
These are excellent fertilizers for nourishing medicinal herbs! We didn't have a chance during the previous tug-of-war, but now that the battle lines are about to advance, we absolutely cannot waste them.
......
Inside the main tent.
Zhang Ping sat in a chair, holding a thick flatbread in one hand, while dozens of steaming dishes were laid out on the table. He skillfully wrapped tender chunks of meat in the flatbread, dipped them in the rich broth, and shoved them into his mouth in large mouthfuls.
A mahogany coffin lay perfectly intact behind him.
The tent flap was lifted, and Wen Gaoyang entered with Xu Rulin and a solemn-faced middle-aged general dressed in the heavy armor of the Black Abyss Army.
"Is the food to your liking, young friend?" Wen Gaoyang asked with a smile as he sat down opposite Zhang Ping.
The two people behind him also took their seats one after another. Xu Rulin's gaze kept lingering on Zhang Ping with a look of inquiry.
Wen Gaoyang assumed his apprentice hadn't recovered from Zhang Ping's earth-shattering firestorm and didn't pay much attention.
Zhang Ping swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded: "Not bad, it's been a long time since I've had such delicious food."
When he was in the Western Poison Forest, he ate mostly roasted meat and fish, occasionally adding some fruit for flavor. He hadn't had such delicious food for months.
Wen Gaoyang's smile deepened, and he became even more certain of his guess that the other party was indeed an outsider who had mistakenly entered the area and had gone through many hardships.
He tentatively asked, "May I ask where you come from, young friend, from this former land of Wei and Zhao? How do you plan to leave in the future? If you cannot find a way out, you may stay in Wei for the time being. This is the territory of my human race."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping, who had just stuffed his mouth, looked up in astonishment. What was the old man muttering incoherently?
Swallowing the delicious food in his mouth, he asked, puzzled:
"Old man, what do you mean by this? My name is Zhang Ping, and I am originally from the Great Wei."
Wen Gaoyang was taken aback upon hearing this. "Young friend, you must be joking. Are you from the Great Wei?"
How is that possible?
The other person looked to be only in his early twenties. Even if some martial artists consume their qi and blood to maintain their appearance, their physical condition cannot speak for itself, so Zhang Ping's age was definitely not that old.
Moreover, he knew all the martial artists in the Marrow Transformation Realm of the Great Wei Dynasty, and many of them had even received guidance from him.
He had never heard of such a gifted individual in the Great Wei.
"Ahem, Master, um... I know Zhang Ping."
At this moment, Xu Rulin, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and whispered something.
……
[We've reached chapter 100!]
The old territory battle is probably still going on for a while. The fighting strength hasn't collapsed, so don't be afraid.
The only issue is the chronological order of the plot, which caused the pace to be a bit too fast recently.
Guess who the savior will be in the end?
