Besides the Golden Horde, one of the Zhou Dynasty's mortal enemies was the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong.
Although the enemy was a barbarian tribe, and their numbers were even fewer than those of a single prefecture of the Great Zhou, they were incredibly powerful and savage. A few hundred of them dared to chase after tens of thousands of Great Zhou soldiers, and in recent years they had caused the Great Zhou considerable losses.
Although the Chuma lineage is not part of the Jurchen tribe, the two sides do cooperate.
Even with Zhou Yan's strength, he lost a leg to Huang Daxian from beyond the Great Wall more than seventy years ago.
Of the two uncertain auras that Yang Cheng sensed in the Eighth Prince's mansion, one was slightly familiar, and it should be Liu Changzhi.
"The Eighth Prince stopped you before and saved your life, but I didn't expect you to dare to come looking for death."
There are still three slots left for the Five Witches' Souls. If you could send me a few more, that would be even better.
Liu Changzhi roared angrily, but the sound was like a demonic whisper, causing Yang Cheng's vision to go black and his head to buzz.
But the next moment, as if by instinct, Yang Cheng drew his Imperial Guard sword and slashed horizontally, producing a loud clang like metal clashing!
Liu Changzhi was sent flying by the slash, but his entire body was covered in snake scales. Yang Cheng's powerful slash only left a white dot on the snake scales.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng felt a little uneasy.
The difference in strength between Liu Changzhi and Qin Liu is almost like heaven and earth.
Yang Cheng could sense the power fluctuations when Qin Liu invoked the gods, but he couldn't even perceive the power fluctuations of Liu Changzhi.
Liu Changzhi's body moved like a snake, 'swimming' towards Yang Cheng, but halfway there he split into more than ten figures, each with the same aura.
The spiritual energy in Yang Cheng's hands surged wildly. He used the Heaven Stealing Divine Technique to its fullest extent. All the surrounding spiritual energy was absorbed into his body, even obscuring his figure and turning into a huge vortex of spiritual energy.
All of Liu Changzhi's clones were drawn into the vortex of spiritual energy, but Yang Cheng did not notice that any true energy was being absorbed into it.
The Heaven-Stealing Divine Technique can absorb the opponent's internal energy, but the people of the Chuma Immortal lineage do not cultivate internal energy, so it is normal that they cannot absorb it.
The next moment, Yang Cheng directly detonated this powerful true energy, and a loud noise came from the long street several feet around him, with earth and rocks exploding.
All of Liu Changzhi's clones were shattered, but a snake-like shadow enveloped in black demonic energy emerged from the shattered spiritual energy and headed straight for Yang Cheng.
At this moment, Liu Changzhi's head seemed to have transformed into a snake's head. He opened his mouth wide, and his mouth stretched strangely all the way to the back of his ears. A dark snake head emerged from his mouth, and the scarlet snake tongue went straight for Yang Cheng's eyes!
Yang Cheng bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood. In mid-air, he condensed a talisman and imprinted it on the snake's tongue, instantly causing it to explode completely!
Exorcise evil!
The snake in Liu Changzhi's mouth let out a sharp hiss, twisting its body and struggling to escape.
Black demonic energy enveloped Liu Chuanzhi, and a giant python, over ten zhang in size, forced its way out of his mouth, but its tail remained inside his body, making the scene particularly eerie.
The giant python's enormous body, carrying a thick, foul stench, pressed down on Yang Cheng. Yang Cheng's blood essence erupted, the Imperial Guard's saber gleamed, and at the same time, he activated the Heaven-Stealing Divine Technique, causing a surge of spiritual energy to rush into his body.
The blade energy, stretching for several meters, slashed down one after another, creating deafening explosions around the giant python.
Compared to Yang Cheng, the giant python, which was over ten zhang long, seemed like a monster. However, as Yang Cheng's blade energy crisscrossed, it tore through the python's scales, and the python's body was instantly covered in blood and flesh.
Amidst the stench, Yang Cheng leaped forward, stepping onto the snake's body. His blade energy tore through the snake, slicing it apart, and he charged step by step toward the snake's head.
The enormous snake head suddenly turned around, and endless demonic black mist surged out of its mouth!
Yang Cheng, however, did not dodge much and instead withstood the demonic energy's corrosive influence head-on!
The next moment, Yang Cheng was enveloped in a dazzling golden light, exuding righteousness, majesty, and divine might!
The Golden Body of the City Emperor!
"Divine protection?! Who exactly are you?!"
The snake opened its head and uttered a sentence in human language, but both its voice and tone were somewhat different from Liu Changzhi's.
Yang Cheng shouted sharply, wielding his sword with both hands as if charging into battle. His body was filled with spiritual energy, and the sword light spread for several feet, like a spear, straight at the snake's eyes!
The huge snake head swung violently, barely dodging Yang Cheng's strike.
On the other side, the Five Witches' Soul had already condensed. With a long sword in hand, he slashed down, and a golden blade of light swept across, directly slicing open a snake's eye!
The giant serpent roared painfully to the sky. Yang Cheng waved his hand, and Chang Cuiyun's demonic immortal soul appeared, coiling around the giant serpent.
A physical entity, entirely formed from demonic energy.
The two giant pythons were intertwined and tightly bound to each other, neither letting go for a moment.
"You dare to enslave my Chang family's demon immortals! You deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
The giant serpent roared angrily, its body twisting and struggling, causing Chang Cuiyun's demon immortal body to become unstable, overflowing with demonic energy as if it were about to collapse.
Yang Cheng slid his hand across the blade, and a soul-suppressing talisman condensed on the blade.
In fact, Five Thunder and Exorcising Evil are obviously more effective against demons and evil spirits that have physical forms.
But Yang Cheng had another ulterior motive.
For Yang Cheng, the demon immortals of the Chuma lineage were like a treasure trove.
If he could subdue all the demon immortals of the Five Immortal Families with the Five Wrathful Soldiers Soul, would he be considered the strongest shaman disciple?
The longsword, imbued with the power to suppress the soul, slashed at the giant serpent's body. With each strike, the giant serpent trembled, and a hint of confusion appeared in its eyes.
