"Interesting, is it the power of space?"
Yang Cheng glanced at his surroundings; the desolation was spreading, draining his strength.
Even if Yang Cheng were to use the Law of Heaven and Earth now, he still wouldn't be able to absorb enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Simply put, this world has been separated.
However, Yang Cheng's cultivation was diverse, and even without using the Law of Heaven and Earth, he was not afraid of Mu Tu in front of him.
"Please turn around, baby!"
The white light transformed from the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife appeared before Mutu in an instant, severing his head.
The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife is a magical artifact; it doesn't need to absorb the power of heaven and earth, so naturally it won't have any effect.
But then a black power emanated from Mutu, and it actually reattached the head.
Yang Cheng frowned slightly. It seemed that Mu Tu's body was no longer the key to his resurrection, but rather his physical form.
The sharpness of the three-pointed double-edged sword condensed, and Yang Cheng's blood and qi erupted. In a flash, he arrived in front of Mu Tu and slashed down. The extreme sharpness instantly cut Mu Tu's entire body into two worlds.
The sharpness of this strike was so great that it even tore apart the black aura in the center of Mutu.
However, Mutu, now in two pieces, attacked Yang Cheng from the left and right respectively.
His body disintegrated into pieces, and the flesh began to twist and change, growing sharp bone spikes that attacked Yang Cheng.
The three-pointed double-edged sword swept across Yang Cheng's hands one after another, shattering the bone spikes one after another.
The extreme sharpness was concentrated on the three-pointed double-edged sword. With each slash, the black power would be separated, but it would also control Mutu's flesh and blood to attack.
However, once shattered, the black power will also be divided and thus greatly diminished.
In the end, only dense chunks of flesh remained, completely enveloping Yang Cheng; flesh, blood, and bone spurs instantly surrounded him.
At that moment, a drop of water appeared in Yang Cheng's hand.
The ultimate nether power extended and swept through that drop of water, tearing and shredding countless chunks of flesh within it.
Like a black waterspout, the black power that had been controlling Mutu's flesh and blood finally dissipated, and the flesh and blood on the ground were completely dissolved by the power of the Nine Springs.
"What a strange power."
Yang Cheng frowned slightly.
This force isn't particularly strong, but it's very strange. It has the power to manipulate space, and it seems to be immune to physical attacks. Even the ultimate sharpness of a three-pointed double-edged sword can only cut it in half, but it can't kill it.
A golden pill was scattered among Mutu's flesh and blood; even though it was buried in blood and filth, its brilliance could not be concealed.
Yang Cheng took it in his hand and indeed it was the legacy of Laozi.
Looking around now, the desolate landscape was gone, replaced by Bo Yi leading Shang soldiers to hunt down the remnants of the Tu Ling tribe.
"Brother Yang Cheng, your strength is comparable to that of a god or Buddha. Those dwarfs are no match for you at all."
Boyi walked over with a look of admiration on his face.
If Yang Cheng had used his gigantic supernatural power in a large-scale battle, he could probably have crushed hundreds of people with a single stomp.
Yang Cheng glanced at the Earth Spirit Clan members around him and asked, "What should we do with the rest of them?"
Bo Yi said fiercely, "All 30,000 of my brothers from the Great Shang Dynasty died at their hands. How can this debt be settled so easily?"
"There are still over two thousand Earth Spirit barbarians left, which is too many. Kill one thousand first, and take the remaining one thousand back to Chaoge to sacrifice to the spirits of our fallen brothers!"
Yang Cheng grinned.
Both sides were actually quite brutal during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Ji Fa would use the Earth Spirit Clan, a ferocious barbarian tribe.
Similarly, the Shang Dynasty was also known for its practice of human sacrifice.
Human sacrifices are required for war, festivals, celebrations, and even funerals.
In short, for the Shang Dynasty, human sacrifice was as common as eating and sleeping.
Therefore, most of the slaves captured by Emperor Xin over the years through his eastern and western expeditions were sacrificed alive, which was a complete waste of productivity.
"By the way, Brother Boyi, do you know if the Earth Spirit Clan worships a god called the Wild God?"
Bo Yi asked in surprise, "The Earth Spirit Clan has the bloodline of Kuafu. They worship Kuafu, not some deity."
Furthermore, although many races among the Hundred Races worship various dubious demon gods, I have never heard of a deity called the Wild God.
Yang Cheng frowned.
No Aragami? Then what was it that ultimately gave Mutu power?
Without any clues, Yang Cheng gave up on investigating and, together with Boyi, led the Tuling people back to Chaoge.
Actually, when he left, Boyi wanted to stay and guard Raoshan, but Yang Cheng pulled him back.
With only a few thousand men, they simply cannot defend Raoshan. This place will be taken back by the Zhou Dynasty sooner or later.
Given Boyi's personality, he would definitely fight to the death; dying here would be pointless.
Bo Yi is now Yang Cheng's most important ally in the Shang Dynasty, and Emperor Xin trusts him greatly. Yang Cheng cannot let him die here like this.
Upon returning to Chaoge, Boyi had already sent someone to inform Emperor Xin in advance.
So people greeted them on the Heavenly Ladder, put the Earth Spirits into prison carts and paraded them through the streets, and then prepared to begin the sacrificial ceremony.
Emperor Xin even personally brought Daji to the top of the Deer Terrace to greet them, laughing loudly and saying, "As expected of the people I have chosen, Boyi and Yang Cheng, you have given me a great surprise!"
"Come, come in, everyone! A banquet has been prepared inside the Deer Terrace!"
Since the war between the Shang and Zhou dynasties began, the Shang dynasty has actually suffered more defeats than victories.
