Chapter 466 – Wei Yuan’s Undercard

The carving knife stabbed into the heart, Saren Agu could hardly contain the hissing sound, as if suffering from the torment of hellish karmic fire, the voice was harsh and pale.

“With the Great Sorcerer’s watertightness, I’m sure he must have divined for himself before the battle, whether it was a good fortune or not? If it weren’t for the Supervisor helping me shield the carving knife and cover up the heavenly chances, it would be almost impossible to assassinate the Grand Sorcerer.

“Warlocks are born out of sorcerers, and only warlocks can deal with sorcerers’ trigrams. It’s too hard to beat you guys without the help of the Supervisor.”

Wei Yuan’s carving knife pushed into Saren Agu’s heart a little bit, causing the spiritual energy in his body to pour out crazily, causing his bodily functions to annihilate at a rapid pace under the erosion of the carving knife.

In just two or three seconds, Salem Agu aged twenty years, withered and ready to “die”.

The situation suddenly reversed, and the two Third Grade Spirit Wisdom Masters’ complexions changed wildly, tacitly making the same response, their palms aimed at Salun Agu and Wei Yuan respectively.

The left palm’s red aura gushed out, stimulating Saren Agu’s vitality and resisting the erosion of the Confucian Sage Carving Knife. The right palm unleashed a spell-killing technique on Wei Yuan through the air.

“Hmph!”

Wei Yuan probed his left palm and hooped the neck of the great sorcerer, while his right hand drew a carving knife and stabbed Saren Agu’s head from the side.

First, the power of the carving knife was used to sap the body’s functions so that it could not resist, then the carving knife was used to destroy the other party’s Yuan Shen, completely disintegrating the soul of this First Grade Grand Sorcerer.

When it was, there was a flash of sword light.

Psst!

Blood splattered as Wei Yuan watched in dismay as his arm was chopped off and blood gushed like a fountain.

The severed arm, along with the Confucian Sage Carving Knife, was held in one hand.

It was an arm of intertwined golden and ebony light; an arm that poked its hand from the brow of Saren Agu.

Wei Yuan frowned, and without hesitation, he retreated and pulled back far away, staring into the void and scrutinizing Saren Agu.

Click click click ……. Blood and flesh intertwined and wriggled, bones regenerated, and a brand new arm coalesced.

Whew! Wei Yuan exhaled a breath, and his protective divine light re-covered his body, condensing into copper skin and iron bones.

Fang’s arm was chopped off, not that his defense was not strong, previously showing weakness to the enemy, being three high-grade sorcerers to use blood as a medium to cast a spell to kill the art, Wei Yuan was seriously injured on the spot, and Wu Fu’s proud physique was broken.

Then seizing the opportunity of battle, he surprised the great sorcerer Saren Agu by attacking him with a Confucian sacred carving knife.

This series of operations should both show weakness and seize the fleeting moment, not allowing Wei Yuan to recover his bronze skin and iron bones.

I just didn’t realize that the other side also had a backstroke.

Inside Saren Agu, a man in a dragon robe slowly drilled out, with proper features, slightly thick eyebrows, and a pair of eyes filled with deep malice.

Upon closer inspection, this dragon robed man’s body was flawless like jade, with golden radiance and ebony light intertwined on the surface of his body, which was both sacred and evil.

Yang Shen!

The late Emperor Chaste!

“Know you Wei Yuan is good at strategy, dare to fight to Jing Shan City, most likely have a dependence. You accompanied me to play for so long, I also accompanied you to play for so long, we ah, not just want to see what the other side has the bottom card.”

Salun Agu smiled and said, “Confucian Sage Carving Knife, I can’t imagine that you can use the Confucian Sage Carving Knife as well, tsk, you Wei Yuan is actually a person with a heart for the people.”

The blood aura on his body surface flickered, and the flesh and blood on his chest wriggled, returning to its original state in an instant, the wrinkles in his skin fading away.

However, the aura of this First Grade Grand Sorcerer was ultimately much weaker.

Just like Wei Yuan’s qi and blood, it had fallen down to the peak of the third grade at this moment.

Click, Clack ……..

Bones shattered, flesh and blood collapsed and contracted, and the dragon robed man refined Wei Yuan’s arm into pure qi and blood, opening his mouth and ingesting it into his body.

“It tastes pretty good, and I’m sure your chakra is even better.”

The dragon robed man laughed while holding the Confucian Sacred Engraving Knife in his palm, and thick liquid filled with filth and depravity gushed out, eroding the Confucian Sacred Engraving Knife little by little and wearing out its spirituality.

As when the head of the Earth Sect Dao briefly contaminated the spirituality of the Zhen Guo Sword.

Wei Yuan looked at him deeply, seemingly sad, seemingly disappointed, and let out a long sigh, “So it’s you, it’s really you!”

Emperor Jeanne d’Arc hemmed and hawed, the corners of his mouth hooked into a cruel and sinister smile as he glanced at the Confucian Sage Carving Knife, which was covered a little bit by the thick black liquid, and said:

“I’ll need some time to seal it, and you’ll need some time to recover, and for the sake of the past twenty years of friendship between ruler and minister, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask.”

Saren Agu did not object, his injuries were only worse than Wei Yuan’s.

“The Human Teeth Organization manipulated by Ping Yuan Bo is working for you, right?” Wei Yuan said.

Emperor Zhende nodded his head and sneered, “You pride yourself on serving the country and the people, but if you hadn’t pressed Ping Yuan Bo every step of the way, I wouldn’t have managed to get rid of him, and the Chuzhou Massacre might not have happened.”

“And then tolerate you continuing to eat away at the lives of innocent people?”

Wei Yuan generously took out a porcelain bottle, “Boo” popped open the wooden plug, and poured down all the pills to replenish qi.

After a few seconds, his face returned to red and he sighed, “When did you get like this.”

The dragon robed man smiled grimly and said, “In the 26th year of Jeanne d’Arc, the head of the Earth Zondo contaminated me.”

After a pause, he looked out over the distant fires of the pervasive battle and slowly said:

“My body has always been bad, and those elixirs that can produce death and flesh are not very useful to me. A king of a country, with his qi fortune added to his body, how long he can live is actually predetermined.

“In the past, I didn’t think there was anything good about living forever; birth, old age, sickness and death, the laws of heaven and earth. But as I grew older, I began to fear death and longed for immortality. But even Confucian saints can’t fight against the rules of heaven and earth, let alone me.

“It wasn’t until the 26th year of Jeanne d’Arc that the head of the Earth Sect Doctrine contaminated me. He told me that earthly kings could not live forever, and that even superlatives could not change that end. But he could make me live longer, far longer than a normal monarch.

“By that time my health was getting worse and I didn’t survive his compulsion and agreed.”

Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, “So, in the 26th year of Chaste Deity, you ate King Huai.”

Emperor Jeanne d’Arc’s face flushed with extreme evil, shaking his head:

“No, it’s assimilation, I refined his soul and received his memories. He is both me and I am both him, this is one of the mysteries of the One Breath Transforming the Three Purities.

“It’s just that if you take over the body, the physical body and Yuan Shen are not compatible, and the aftermath is endless, equivalent to cutting off the path of cultivation. How could I do such a thing as cutting off my own path.

“Regrettably, I am not a member of the orthodox Dao Sect, and even though I had the Dao Head of the Earth Sect to help me, after forcibly refining King Huai’s Yuan Shen, my main body and main soul, still appeared to be crippled.”

Without the help of the Earth Sect’s Dao Head, a Second Grade, it was impossible for him to perform the technique of transforming the Three Purities into one Qi.

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment, “What about Yuan Jing, Yuan Jing was also devoured by you at that time?”

Emperor Jeanne d’Arc shook his head in a heady manner:

“The two brothers should have assimilated with me together at that time, but as I said, after refining King Huai’s soul, my main soul failed to repair that part of the soul that was stripped away, and there was a crippling effect.

“In such a situation, how can I devour Yuan Jing again? I could only change my plan and have the Earth Sect’s Dao Head use the Dao Soul Enchantment Technique to erase this memory of Yuan Jing. Then, he planted the seeds of demonic thoughts in his sea of consciousness.

“And I, as a result of all the preparations, faked my death and abdicated, hiding in the underground dragon vein that had opened up, where it was the only place where I could avoid the Supervisor’s watchful eyes. I hibernated quietly, waiting for my chance to refine the Yuanjing.

“Out of my expectation, Yuan Jing took me as a lesson, no longer decentralized the chief minister, while inspiring the government, while weighing the parties. Da Feng’s national strength is flourishing, and under the addition of qi, I simply did not have the opportunity to devour him until you appeared ………”

Wei Yuan froze.

“You forgot?”

Emperor Zhen De stared at Wei Yuan, the curve of his mouth exaggerating a little bit, a little bit:

“In the 6th year of Yuanjing, when General Dugu of the north passed away, you personally led an expedition to repel the barbarian hordes, and you’ve been famous ever since. You might want to think about it again, why did you only go on the expedition?”

Wei Yuan’s pupils dilated at once, as if he was struck by lightning.

“Hahahaha …….” Emperor Jeanne d’Arc laughed maniacally:

“The grand empress of Dafeng, the mother of all empresses, unexpectedly ate with a palace eunuch, and that eunuch, was also her childhood friend before she entered the palace. What man could bear such a blow, let alone a headstrong emperor like Yuan Jing.”

He laughed wildly, recklessly, and laughed his head off.

“Since then, the demonic thoughts in Yuan Jing’s sea of consciousness finally revived, slowly eroding him and polluting him. The reason Yuan Jing didn’t kill you and the Empress at that time was that he was affected by the demonic thoughts and became cold and cunning, and after understanding the past events between you and the Empress Dao, he changed his mindset and wanted to use the Empress to control you.

“And then came the Battle of Shanhaiguan, which shook the fortunes of the Great Feng nation, and at the end of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, I took the opportunity to refine Yuanjing and replace him.

“After replacing Yuanjing, I learned from my mistakes and stopped touching women and dedicated myself to cultivation. While concocting pills and taking bait, I had Ping Yuan Bo continue to plunder the population. After more than forty years, I finally cultivated the Yang Shen and stepped into the Second Grade Transition Stage. Wei Yuan, do you think I should thank you?”

The real Yuan Jing was gone twenty years ago.

“By the way, I can tell you an extra secret, the person who secretly snitched to Yuan Jing and leaked your relationship with the Empress back then was the Crown Prince’s birth mother, Noble Consort Chen.” Emperor Zhende threw out another heavyweight explosive.

Chen Guifei ……… Wei Yuan was silent for a long time, “What is the purpose of the head of the Earth Zong Dao to help you so painstakingly.”

Emperor Chastity sneered, ”At that time, the Earth Sect Dao Head had already shown signs of becoming demonic, but the good thoughts were stronger than the evil thoughts, and they were suppressed to death. In order for the evil thought to keep itself from being refined and eliminated, it came up with a solution.

“That day during the discourse, the Evil Thought sensed my desire for immortality and secretly and quietly contaminated me, amplifying my desire for immortality. And then taking advantage of the opportunity to gain brief dominance over my body one day, he compelled me and plotted all this in me.

“Afterwards, the head of the Earth Sect Dao then went back to the sect to shut down, good and evil two thoughts entangled for forty whole years, forty years later, the head of the Earth Sect Dao into the devil, Yuan Shen split, the good thoughts meticulously escaped, you taste a taste.”

Wei Yuan took out another porcelain vial and took the elixir, pondering for a moment, he said:

“Compel the king to live forever and devour his own son. For forty years, the people are not happy, the country’s power is declining, and the evil consequences will be entangled ……… So after forty years, the head of the Earth Sect’s Dao was completely demonized. But there is still one thing I don’t understand, even though you have transformed the Three Purities in one breath and have today’s cultivation and live longer and longer, you are still an emperor on earth. How can you live forever?”

Emperor Jeanne d’Arc’s eyes, filled with malice, glanced at the Confucian Sage Carving Knife and said slyly:

“Later, a man taught me how to live long as an emperor, and his words truly enlightened me. Over these twenty years, all of my scheming has been due to that person. Including today, using the Sorcerer God as bait to lure you in was the most vital step in my plan.”

The carving knife was completely tainted and lost its spirit.

“Although it can only contaminate it for half a quarter of an hour, it’s enough.” Emperor Jeanne d’Arc casually threw it into the cliff, turned to Wei Yuan, and laughed sardonically:

“How are you going to cross us and seal the Witch God?”

Present, a Grand Sorcerer, two Spiritual Wisdom Masters, and a powerful person of the Transitional Stage.

Wei Yuan was only one person, a barely second-rate martial artist.

Emperor Jeanne raised his hand as if pinching something out of the air, pinched it at his fingertips, and flexed his fingers.

A sword qi whistled out, one transformed into two, two transformed into three, and three transformed into thousands.

The dense sword qi was like a school of fish at the bottom of the sea, like a torrent of waves, splitting the head and shooting towards Wei Yuan.

Each sword qi could easily kill a fourth product, and in addition, the sword qi was mixed with attacks targeting the Yuan Shen.

The Human Sect’s Qi Sword and Heart Sword are one.

Wei Yuan crossed his arms in front of his chest and advanced against the dense rain of swords, ding ding ding ding ……… his body exploded with magnificent thousands of blinding light.

At a certain moment, the sword qi tore through Wei Yuan, causing him to dissipate like a dream bubble.

Emperor Jeanne d’Arc rode the golden light and stormed back.

Wei Yuan’s figure reappeared and pounced.

With the exception of Buddhist martial monks, no high grade of any system dared to let a martial artist get close.

Two people chased in the mountains, qi explosions layer upon layer, the mountain collapsed, boulders continue to roll down. At a certain moment, a large dense forest suddenly “slipped”, neatly broken.

The sound of airplanes exploding sometimes comes from the sea again, setting off wild waves and tsunamis.

However, no matter how hard the onlookers tried, they were unable to make out the figures of the two peak experts.

In this battle, Third Grade experts like Ilbu and Udabota could only be relegated to supporting roles, occasionally seizing the opportunity to cast spell-killing disruptions on Wei Yuan.

Alternatively, using the Spirit Wisdom Master’s core ability to empower Chaste Emperor’s sword auras so that they wouldn’t fall through the air, as a way to slowly wear down Wei Yuan’s qi and blood.

Aside from grinding, the major systems have almost no way to speed-kill a wookiee above the third rank.

Saren Agu didn’t participate in the battle and sighed, “A martial artist who can break formations is a real headache.”

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

Saren Agu said in a loud voice, “Jeanne, if I lend you the power of this heaven and earth, do you have the confidence to kill Wei Yuan?”

Emperor Jeanne d’Arc paused high in the sky and laughed maniacally, “Then thank you, Great Sorcerer, for helping me to kill this chaotic traitor.”

Saren Agu raised his foot and stomped, “The earth gives me spirit.”

The rocks weathered, the soil turned into yellow sand, and a stream of earth spirit and gold spirit power used Saren Agu as a medium to vanish into the void and pour over Jeanne d’Arc’s body.

“The grass gives me spirit.”

Flowers, plants and trees withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The verdant power of the wood spirit was poured over Emperor Jeanne d’Arc.

“The ocean gives me spirit.”

The shimmering sea, dark with the power of the water spirit, poured over the Chaste Emperor.

“Beacon Gives Me Spirit ……..”

A strand of the power of heaven and earth was extracted, and Emperor Jeanne d’Arc’s aura soared by the minute; at this moment, it was as if he had transformed into the master of this place, looking down with cold eyes on the chaotic officials.

Emperor Jeanne d’Arc slowly “drew” his sword, he drew out of the void a sword intertwined with the five colors of “gold, wood, water, fire and earth”, the power of the five elements, the foundation of all things.

Ilbu, Udabota, and Saren Agu probed their hands at the same time, empowering this sword with the spirituality of a Spirit Wise Master’s core ability.

After doing this, Saren Agu, the great sorcerer of the Witch God Cult, the first of his kind, his breath rapidly decayed.

The Hall of One was close to exhaustion.

In the hundred years since then, the surrounding area of Jing Mountain has been turned into a wasteland.

The sword’s power skyrocketed once again.

This sword was vaguely beyond grade.

So much so that Emperor Jeanne d’Arc’s hand holding the sword trembled slightly, as if he could not control it.

This sword united the strength of two Third Grade, one First Grade, and one Second Grade powerhouses.

It will be invincible in an age where superlatives don’t come out of the woodwork.

Extremely far away from the battlefield, the great Feng army or the northeastern army, every soldier felt the brilliant heavenly power, the bottom of the heart to produce a huge fear, there are holding their heads, there are shitting and pissing, there are palpitations on the spot and died.

Zhang Kaitai and the other experts, their scalps instantly tingled as they forced themselves to hold back their fear and looked towards the source of the majesty, towards the five-colored sword light that seemed to be able to cut down the heavens and the earth.

And underneath the sword light was Wei Yuan in green rags.

“Wei Gong ………”

The eyes of the crowd of golden gongs instantly reddened and their faces turned white.

This sword caused them to simply not be able to give birth to the thought of resisting, to not be able to give birth to the thought of escaping.

The battle has been fought to this point, beyond the expectations of these military executives, with layer upon layer, scene after scene, leaving them both terrified and bewildered.

The sorcerers, led by Nalan Yan, held their heads high and looked at the sword qi in the air, their hearts fluttering.

“Kill him, kill Wei Yuan ……..” Nalan Yan’s eyes were red.

The revenge of killing my father can be avenged today.

“Kill Wei Yuan!” A sorcerer shouted.

“Kill Wei Yuan ……..”

“Kill Wei Yuan ……..”

The cries rose and grew, and those who still had something left, or who had closed their eyes to look, responded.

All the voices converged: kill Wei Yuan!

Wei Yuan stood on the surface of the sea, head held high, looking at the unrivaled sword light, looking at the unrivaled Emperor Jeanne d’Arc.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall the image of the boy standing on horseback on the hillside before he left for his journey, singing his farewell.

In my ears, it was as if his song was ringing again:

Wolf smoke rising rivers and mountains looking north, the dragon rises and rolls the horse long hissing sword gas like frost!

The heart is like the Yellow River and the water is vast, who can resist between twenty years of vertical and horizontal!

Twenty years between the vertical and horizontal who can resist ……….. Wei Yuan laughed, “Then I’m going to be invincible on earth for once.”

From his ragged green coat, he fished out a Confucian crown and slowly put it on.

Cloud Deer Academy’s second most precious treasure: the Confucian crown of Yasheng!

“Come on!”

He beckoned gently.

The Confucian Sage Carving Knife revived and washed away the defilement, turning into a stream of light and sending itself into Wei Yuan’s hands.

He looked high into the sky and shouted, “Come!”

A clear light fell from the azure sky and shone on Wei Yuan.

This clear light came from Dean Zhao Shou, from the blessing of a third-grade great scholar who had nearly perished.

The Confucian crown and the carving knife, bloomed with a piercing clear light.

Finally, a page was scratched out of the sleeve, and on it was recorded a very unusual spell, one that was commonplace among wizards!

Blessed Sacrifice Core Ability – Summon Souls.

Watching this here, Saren Agu and the other three wizards, their eyebrows jumped dramatically and a sense of foreboding welled up.

“Snort!”

In the midst of the burning paper, Wei Yuan was spirited and said in a long voice, “Please–Ju–Saint–“

In a flash, the clear air is full of dryness!
