"boom!"
A cloud of smoke slowly rose.
But everyone knows the rule of thumb: smoke doesn't hurt...
Where are they?!
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Ying's eyes narrowed as she looked at the long spear left behind.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice rang out behind Ying and Paimon.
"What!"
Ying and Paimeng quickly retreated, only to see that the young master was standing next to the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body, with one hand already on it.
"I didn't expect... you had a trick up your sleeve, but..."
"They actually took advantage of their disadvantage...to get close to the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation!"
Paimon said incredulously, while Ying, standing beside him, also scoffed.
"Don't make a fuss, you're acting like a new recruit..."
The young master slowly raised one hand, with faint lightning flickering on it.
"This kind of thing is something that seasoned veterans..."
"It's a piece of cake!"
As the last sentence fell, the young master's arm plunged straight into the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body. With a triumphant laugh, the young master slowly spoke.
"That Heart of God from Morax... I'll take it...!"
Suddenly, the strange sensation in his hand startled the young master. He quickly pulled his hand out, palm open. Just as he had expected, it was empty…
"I see... That's surprising..."
Looking at his hands, the young master smiled instead.
With his smile, the evil eye on his body suddenly emitted dazzling lightning, followed by a burst of intense light and rolling air waves that swept through the entire Golden House!
The next moment, lightning swept over the young master's entire body, adding a layer of deep purple armor to him.
Tartaglia's final form: Demon King Armor - Last of the Eleven Executors of the Fools, Tartaglia, reporting for duty!
"So... the one who beat me to it... was you!"
With a roar from the young master, waves of air surged from beneath his feet, rushing towards the unsuspecting Ying and Paimon!
At this moment, the floor of the Golden House finally gave way and collapsed!
"Huh?"
Jiang Mu, who was sitting there cracking sunflower seeds, was also stunned. Suddenly, his footing gave way, and he fell straight down...
After wiping the sunflower seed shells off his face, Jiang Mu quietly looked at the two people in front of him.
At this moment, the enraged young master seemed to believe that the Divine Heart in the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation was taken by Ying and Paimeng, so he launched a fierce attack on the two of them.
Of course, our Ying is not to be trifled with either, and while shifting and turning, she frequently launched attacks on the young master.
In the end, Ying lived up to expectations and won the battle.
………………
"Cough cough..."
Exhausted, the demonic armor on D'Artagnan gradually faded, revealing his true appearance.
After coughing violently a few times, D'Artagnan looked at the Radiant figure in front of him and let out a long breath.
"Ah, he's back to his original form!"
Paimon exclaimed in surprise.
"It's time to... calm down..."
After panting heavily for a while, Dadalia looked at the people in front of him and said slowly.
"Have you calmed down?"
Jiang Mu finally finished cracking the sunflower seeds in front of him. He put away the shells, walked over, looked at Dadalia lying on the ground, and smiled.
"Not going to continue?"
"You are one of the fools personally appointed by Her Majesty the Queen..."
Before D'Artagnan could finish speaking, Jiang Mu stopped him.
"Don't mention that. I made an agreement with your empress that this was just a nominal title, and I could leave whenever I wanted."
"To be honest, I really don't care about that position in the Fatui..."
Upon hearing this, D'Artagnan seemed to want to argue something, but in the end, he sighed and gave up.
"The Demon King's armor I just wore really strained my body, leaving me no time to think..."
"Um?"
Paimon tilted his head, looking bewildered.
"But upon closer reflection... it seems that none of you have any chance of obtaining the Heart of God before me..."
The young master looked up at the three of them and smiled.
"Wherever the Heart of God goes, it should be none of your business..."
"Yes, we already said we didn't take it!"
Paimon put his hands on his hips and said angrily.
"Oh……"
D'Artagnan stood up, looked at the group, and said.
"I'm already satisfied with this battle. We're both people who strive to become stronger, we're friends. Even though this friendship takes the form of... fighting..."
"What a strange view on friendship..."
Paimon complained.
"But now, I have to temporarily put aside my conversations with my friends and return to my characters..."
As he spoke, a cryptic smile appeared on D'Artagnan's face.
"Since the Heart of God wasn't taken away by someone, is it possible that... the Heart of God wasn't even in the Immortal Ancestor's physical body in the first place?"
"Thinking further... could the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation... also be just a smokescreen?"
At this moment, Jiang Mu nodded secretly. Although D'Addariya was just a martial arts fanatic, in the end, he was actually a smart man...
Thinking of this, a playful smile crept onto Jiang Mu's lips.
Zhongli, oh Zhongli, all your arrangements... are about to be exposed, hahaha...
………………
"Wait, you mean to say..."
Paimon seemed to have thought of something as well, and asked in surprise.
"Emperor Yan... is not dead? The Immortal Ancestor's mortal form is fake!!"
Ying also let out a soft cry.
"I'm afraid...that's exactly right. This is truly interesting..."
D'Artagnan nodded and smiled.
"As expected of the guardian of the commercial capital, he is also very proficient in these 'trickster tactics outside of contracts'..."
"In that case... we'll have to resort to backup methods..."
At this point, a glint of light flashed in D'Artagnan's eyes.
"Alternative plan... wait, what are you trying to do!"
Ying's face revealed an unfriendly expression.
"I didn't originally want to use this plan... because it would affect the vulnerable..."
D'Artagnan looked at the group and gave them a confident smile.
"Ultimately, this world belongs to those of us who strive to become stronger. I generally don't bother with boring and weaklings..."
"Unfortunately, as an executor of the Fatui, one cannot be picky about the methods used, just like a child sometimes has to learn to eat carrots they don't like..."
As he spoke, D'Artagnan showed a helpless expression.
So... what exactly do you want to do?
Paimon questioned.
"I will awaken the sleeping demon god of Lord Guyun," Dadalia said, looking at the group.
"Demon God!"
"The Vortex Demon God, Oser, was defeated by the Rock God Morax during the Demon God War and was suppressed by him under the Lone Cloud Pavilion with a rock spear!"
