Zheng Ya assisted Daiyu in refining the ethereal fruit tree magic weapon, thus thwarting Sheng Xiang's scheme.
Enraged, Sheng Xiang ordered three thousand superhumans to charge into the battle. The cultivators, already hampered by Sheng Xiang's spirit-controlling technique, were utterly powerless against the superhumans' onslaught, unleashing a one-sided massacre: "Pfft, kill!"
Three thousand superhumans charged into the battle from all directions, slaughtering the cultivators and offerings, carving bloody paths as they headed straight for the location where the Azure Dragon was trapped and killed.
No matter how hard the cultivators struggled, they could not escape Sheng Xiang's controlling spirit technique and were trapped in a desperate situation. The clever ones turned against them and killed their own people.
It was like a pledge of allegiance. With Sheng Xiang's approval, his supernatural ability group led the defecting cultivators to attack Qinglong.
With a clear objective, the first step is to kill Qinglong before having a chance to eliminate Zheng Ya.
After all, Zheng Ya possesses the ability to plan, and he has three or four hundred other ability users protecting him and launching a surprise attack on Sheng Xiang, resulting in a temporary stalemate where the two sides are evenly matched.
Even if the Prince of Donglin ordered his secret guards to enter the battle and counterattack Shengxiang's forces, they could only fight to a draw with four or five hundred superhumans.
This battle revealed that the strength of a half-crippled cultivator was utterly pathetic.
The monks' offering group not only possesses few spells, but their spells are also not very powerful. Only the array formations they create are not to be underestimated.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see the clues; the laws of heaven and earth were in chaos.
This causes significant disruption to cultivators.
After all, cultivators use the power of the rules of heaven and earth to cast spells, talismans, and formations.
The chaos of the rules of heaven and earth greatly diminishes the effectiveness of the cultivation system.
Those with supernatural abilities emphasize the unity of the three and the return to oneness. The difference between the supernatural abilities they use and the magic of cultivating immortality lies in the difference in their primary and secondary aspects.
Clearly, cultivation techniques primarily utilize the power of the laws of heaven and earth, supplemented by one's own magical power, while the power of formations lies in the large range of the power they borrow from heaven and earth.
Supernatural abilities and spiritual arts primarily utilize one's own supernatural abilities, using the power of heaven and earth as explosive fuel to achieve maximum efficiency in spiritual arts.
While Zheng Ya was distracted by controlling the battlefield and fighting the enemy, he realized the essential difference between cultivators and superpowered systems. He used his voice to persuade Daiyu to give up her father, Earl Dai, while verbally mocking Sheng Xiang on the roof 500 meters away: "They say a dog that bites doesn't bark."
You used to be a mute dog, how did you turn into a mad dog?
"You dare to try and kill Qinglong, then come and try to kill me? You're driving me crazy with your filial piety..."
"You sharp-tongued illegitimate son, you tried to steal the secret treasures of my Azure Dragon Society and even wanted to take away the secret treasures of the Dai Clan. You've got some nerve, just wait to die..." Sheng Xiang angrily revealed Zheng Ya's secrets.
This made some high-ranking officials yearn for it. If they weren't caught up in the battle and unable to extricate themselves, they would have already turned to Zheng Ya to kill him and seize the magic weapon.
The fact that magical artifacts can assist cultivators in battle, multiplying their strength, is a testament to this.
The key point is that the magical artifacts were completely destroyed in the chaotic battle three hundred years ago.
Only a few magical artifacts remain.
The fact that none of the five or six thousand cultivators present used magic weapons to fight enemies speaks volumes about their rarity.
This also enhanced the value of the magic weapon.
It's fair to say that every cultivator is crazy about obtaining magical treasures.
Sheng Xiang's words, revealing the secret weapon and sowing discord, stirred up the hearts of the people. The Prince of Donglin, who was at the forefront, once again issued the order to fight: "Kill! Kill that arrogant outcast at all costs! Kill him!"
"Kill!" The Dark Guard Corps swelled from thousands to tens of thousands, integrating gangs and families, and gathered fifty to sixty thousand people to launch an encirclement and kill campaign.
Zheng Yale's mouth twisted into a crooked shape: "Young Master Dog, now you've tasted the consequences of biting people indiscriminately, haven't you?"
In life, we should prioritize benevolence and righteousness.
Don't start your conversation with scheming, using others to do your dirty work, or using people as pawns. You'll never have any friends that way...
A seemingly ordinary statement led the monks, caught between defection and upholding their principles, to choose to remain neutral and observe the situation from the sidelines.
The Prince of Donglin has ordered his army to surround and attack, and it's really uncertain who will emerge victorious.
Although a legion composed of ordinary soldiers and low-level martial artists from gangs would be sent to their deaths against a group of cultivators with supernatural abilities, the saying "many ants can kill an elephant" is not just an empty phrase.
After all, cultivators and superhumans have limited magical power and supernatural abilities. Once they have exhausted their power by killing enemies, they are just as vulnerable when faced with the swords and spears of ordinary soldiers.
On the battlefield, only Sheng Xiang and Zheng Ya were two oddballs, perpetual motion machines. Their crowd control consumed so much energy, yet they still chatted and laughed as if nothing had happened.
Everyone knows their own business. Sheng Xiang looked at Zheng Ya, who was calm and composed, and retorted angrily, "You little brat, you're celebrating too soon."
See that? The demonic dragon is about to die at my hands. Then let's see how arrogant you are...
Five or six hundred superhumans rushed to the Azure Dragon's side and launched their fiercest attack: "Boom, bang!"
Spells, flying swords, spiritual arts, and weapons of war were unleashed upon the Azure Dragon, sparks flying everywhere.
Clusters of magical fireworks bloomed under the setting sun, a truly beautiful sight.
Zheng Yale grinned and said, "Young Master, are you tickling Qinglong?"
"Are you sure you can handle this? You didn't cut yourself, did you? You're not going to make it, are you?"
"Why are you provoking him? He's furious! Aren't you afraid he'll control everyone and attack us?" Daiyu stamped her feet anxiously. She had persuaded her father to leave the Void Fruit Tree Secret Realm, but now the question was how to escape.
Earl Dai originally intended to stay and live or die with his more than 30,000 soldiers, to preserve the Dai family's integrity, and to choose death over dishonor.
Unfortunately, Earl Dai failed to resist Sheng Xiang's control and killing magic one after another, becoming a burden. Exhausted, heartbroken, and ashamed, he agreed to Daiyu's transfer method and hid in the secret realm, where everything would be fine.
The manor originally had more than a hundred cultivators gathered there. Under the guidance of Sheng Xiang's spirit control technique, they turned the tables and killed more than 30,000 invincible soldiers. Even though Zheng Ya planned for these cultivators to interfere and control the situation, he could not help but miss a few, resulting in more than 300 casualties among the soldiers.
This allowed the soldiers to turn the tables and kill more than a hundred cultivators.
The Inspectorate was thus cleaned up and a united front was formed.
After all, when Sheng Xiang used the Spirit Control Technique, the group he controlled was only the cultivator offering group, and there was no more benefit value to be consumed on ordinary soldiers.
Even if these soldiers are an invincible army, possessing the value of control and destruction.
However, this invincible army was too close to Zheng Ya, and was a vital force for Zheng Ya to protect his resources and fight back against Sheng Xiang. Naturally, he protected them very well, not giving Sheng Xiang the opportunity to control and kill them.
Thus, a war initiated by multiple parties entered a state of chaos and fierce fighting.
Zheng Ya assessed the situation and transmitted a message to Daiyu: "Continuing this war will be meaningless for your Dai family."
"Don't resist, let me take you out, understand?"
"Ah, you mean that if the Dai family stays, they will only end up taking the blame and suffering for others?" Daiyu was quick-witted and guessed that he was implying that the Dai family should retire, stay away from the battlefield and the court, and that the Dai family would have nothing to do with her anymore.
Otherwise, the Dai family would suffer disgrace, ruin, and extermination of their clan.
It seems that the Great Li Dynasty can no longer tolerate the Dai clan.
Putting aside all the crimes, just the fact that Earl Dai lost the salt tax revenue of Jiangnan and the 100,000-strong salt administration army means he has no way out.
Moreover, the Prince of Donglin had already designated Jiangnan as the place where he would rise to power, and it was impossible for him to tolerate the survival of the Dai clan.
Zheng Ya subtly transmitted his voice: "You're very perceptive, let's go..."
"Prince of Donglin, cooperate with me to slay the dragon, then kill Zheng Ya. All the magical treasures you obtain, including my own, are at your command..." Seeing that his own men couldn't break through the Azure Dragon's scales' defense, Sheng Xiang turned to Li Dao...
