The thirty-six bandits and the men of the Holy Duke Zhang Liang took turns on the stage, completely disregarding the defenses of the Great Zhou city.
While Yang Cheng's actions, using Zhou Heng as bait, certainly played a part, it also revealed the weakness of the Great Zhou capital's defenses.
Within the array formed by the black chains, Yang Cheng could clearly sense the power fluctuations within, which were exactly the same as the black mist power generated in the array in Yi County.
Yang Cheng looked at the Western envoy with a half-smile: "Mortal? I am a mortal, and what are you? Do you call yourselves gods?"
“We are the divine messengers of the Holy Ancestor, and we will naturally be able to transcend this final tribulation.”
Yang Cheng was too lazy to argue with this charlatan. He said casually, "The formation in Yi County must have been set up by you, right?"
Those demons of the Great Brightness Cult are nothing but bait, brainwashed by you into willingly becoming part of the trap.
However, setting up such a formation is absolutely impossible for that guy with his meager strength, so there must be high-ranking members of the Great Brightness Sect in the capital.
Although the capital's defenses were lax, the courtesans who could enter the palace to perform must have been carefully selected. The fact that you impersonated her without being detected means you've been hiding under this identity for quite some time.
"However, taking advantage of the lull in my fierce battle with the Thirty-Six Great Bandits to attack me and try to reclaim the Black Tai Sui was definitely your own decision, made without consulting your Holy Duke Zhang Liang, wasn't it?"
The Western envoy was startled and asked in confusion, "How did you know?"
She was a high-ranking member of the Great Brightness Sect in the capital, and she was also responsible for setting up the formation in Yi County.
Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng thwarted the plan, and she also lost her most precious treasure, the Black Tai Sui.
If she were to return to the Great Brightness Cult after making such a grave mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, she must reclaim the Black Tai Sui in order to at least atone for her sins.
Yang Cheng stared intently at the Western divine envoy, and the surrounding spiritual energy was continuously absorbed, transforming into a vortex of spiritual energy that swept across the area.
"Because Zhang Liang has seen me and knows my strength."
He knows that sending you to seize the Black Tai Sui is tantamount to sending you to your death!
The spiritual energy storm suddenly exploded, and the surrounding black chains were instantly strangled and torn apart.
The sharp blade light arrived in an instant, reaching the Western deity Zhi Lian Yue Ru in a flash!
A crimson light flashed in Lian Yueru's eyes, and with a slash of the blade, she was sliced in two.
However, the two pieces of corpse did not bleed; instead, they turned into two light, floating pieces of paper and fell to the ground.
"A paper substitute?"
Yang Cheng frowned slightly.
This thing is somewhat like Maoshan Taoist magic, but it has a more refined feel to it.
Even as Yang Cheng's blade fell, he failed to realize that Lian Yue Ru was an imposter.
Yang Cheng examined the piece of paper more closely.
He then realized that this was not a piece of paper at all, but a human skin!
The paper doll made by Maoshan Taoist magic only requires a piece of white paper and some spiritual energy.
The substitute of the Great Bright Cult requires peeling off a human skin!
Lian Yueru appeared behind Yang Cheng. She stretched out her fair and jade-like hands, but her fingernails began to crack one after another, and her ten fingernails shot towards Yang Cheng like sharp swords.
The Imperial Guard's saber slashed repeatedly in front of Yang Cheng, precisely shattering all ten armor plates.
Lian Yueru's two arms began to melt and twist, her flesh and blood constantly intertwining and breaking apart. Her two hands began to extend, like two giant tentacles, and entangled with Yang Cheng!
"Tentacles again! Why does your Great Bright Cult always like to play with these disgusting things!"
The Imperial Guard's saber kept tearing through the flesh, but strangely, the flesh seemed to be alive, wriggling back to the tentacles even after being torn apart.
Zhou Heng and the others were stunned by what they saw.
Although the methods of those thirty-six bandits from the Central Plains were extraordinary, they were still human beings after all.
But what are these subordinates of the Holy Duke Zhang Liang now? They're practically monsters!
They used to say that the Great Brightness Cult's subordinates were all demons, but today I realized that I was right to call them that.
At this moment, Yang Cheng frowned as he looked at the eerie Lian Yueru.
The woman seized the opportunity perfectly. She had just fought a fierce battle with the Thirty-Six Great Bandits and used the Ying Gou Body, so her blood and energy were greatly depleted and her explosive power was not at its peak.
If the fight continues like this, my strength will be constantly depleted, but the opponent's strange flesh and blood seem to be alive and show no signs of decay. I will suffer a great loss.
With a single hand sweeping across the blade, blood condensed on the blade into an talisman to ward off evil. As Yang Cheng continued to strike, the flesh and blood finally began to disintegrate as if they had encountered their natural enemy.
Lian Yue screamed and hurriedly withdrew her two fleshy tentacles.
The next moment, her body beneath the black robe began to throb, as if something was about to be born.
Just as Yang Cheng was about to make a move, he saw two more fleshy tentacles emerge from under her black robe.
However, unlike others, these two fleshy tentacles were covered with thick white bones, segmented like some kind of insect.
In the blink of an eye, eight fleshy, white bones emerged from under her black robe, lifting Lian Yueru into the air like a giant spider.
The white mask on her face fell to the ground, revealing a bewitching face, but paired with her fleshy spider body, it looked even more eerie.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Yang Cheng frowned. The head of Lian Yueru on the flesh spider screamed and pounced on Yang Cheng.
With its eight legs moving at lightning speed, the flesh spider arrived directly above Yang Cheng in the blink of an eye, its four legs, covered in bone spurs, stabbing fiercely at him!
