Chapter 1238 King of Thieves: Who signed the insurance for Zhongshan County?
Mu Baiyi had no doubt about the outcome of this battle. With the advantage of the Tianting Sect, it would be useless even if the God Lord Si Heng came, or even the Emperor Zhongtian came.
Rather than waiting until the battle is over and getting caught, it is better to find Man Gu and surrender while the battle is still going on.
Man Gu is a disciple of the Wendao Sect and has close relations with Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. He is also a court official and the top scholar of the dynasty. He has a dual identity, so it is most appropriate to find him to surrender.
"This is the list of names of our sect." Mu Baiyi also brought a letter of allegiance.
"This is what we taught." said Master Chi.
"Okay, I know you've surrendered yourself. Can you guarantee the safety of the people in this county?" Man Gu accepted the two letters of surrender without knowing what was going on. Now was not the time to consider performance, as they were not out of danger yet.
The corpses of Meng Jingzhou and the six leaders of the Jiuyou Sect were fighting with their shadows, which meant that there were fourteen people in the Tribulation Crossing period fighting in the sky. Throughout history, battles of this level were extremely rare.
If their attacks landed, countless people would be killed or injured.
"Guarantee to complete the mission." This is an opportunity to make great contributions, so Mu Baiyi and others naturally would not refuse.
With the joining of three people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the safety of the people in this county is guaranteed, but a way to break the battle in the sky still needs to be found. Thinking of this, Man Gu walked towards the direction of the prison.
Lord Si Heng was a citizen of Zhongshan County who was transferred intact. The location did not change before and after the transfer, so it was not difficult for Man Gu to find the original location of the prison.
In the prison, the prisoners were piled up like stacks of Arhats, wailing in pain. The Thief King sat at the top and greeted Man Gu: "Hey, the County Magistrate is here."
He patted the buttocks of the people sitting there and said casually: "These prisoners wanted to escape, but I caught them all. How can this be considered a meritorious service?"
“That definitely counts.”
Man Gu bowed to the Thief King earnestly and said, "Can I ask you to join the battle?"
The fourteen Tribulation Crossing warriors in the air are evenly matched in strength, with their yin and yang moves counteracting each other, making it difficult to tell the winner. The only way to break the situation is to add new forces.
And the King of Thieves is the most suitable fighting force.
"Okay." The King of Thieves agreed readily. If the old man, the Ancestor of Thieves, knew that he had done nothing in this battle, he would probably hang him up and beat him.
What's more, he liked to see those officials asking him for help, so he could do them a favor.
He took out a dart tipped with a deadly poison and threw it at one of the six shadows. The shadow had no time to react to the dart and his arm was scratched.
The thief king frowned: "It doesn't work?"
The poison on the dart is fatal if it comes into contact with blood. Even an expert in the Tribulation Crossing Stage would have to devote his mental energy to suppress it. The fact that the opponent was poisoned but remained indifferent shows that he has a special physique and is not afraid of poison.
“We have to try another method.”
The Thief King disappeared in an instant, at an unparalleled speed. He took out eight darts and formed a protective shield around him.
He directly participated in the battle and broke one of the opponent's fingers with just one blow.
"Your level is not good enough." The Thief King moved back and forth in the battlefield. The shadows all wanted to attack him, but none of their attacks could hit him. Instead, his attacks always yielded results.
"My Lord, how are my skills?"
"Senior Thief King is amazing."
"It's good to know that you're powerful, but I can't control the battle outside. You have to be mentally prepared."
The King of Thieves wanted to laugh when he thought of the miserable state of Zhongshan County after the battle: "Two half-immortals are fighting in Zhongshan County. No matter who wins or loses, you all have to rebuild Zhongshan County, right?"
He had seen the methods used by Lord Si Heng and Lu Yang. If he got involved with his level of cultivation, not only would he be unable to help, he might also be injured by mistake.
Man Gu didn't expect that Senior Dao Wang would be so thoughtful, and he thanked him respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, Senior. I bought insurance for this county before, and the Landing Money Merchants will compensate after the war."
King of Thieves: “…”
Who the hell signed this insurance contract? How come I, the president, didn’t know about such a big order?
Thinking of this, the Thief King wanted to rush to Zhongshan County as soon as possible, maybe he could help.
However, the shadows' attacks did not stop, and the King of Thieves had no chance to leave the Fengdu space.
"Damn it, you guys forced me to do this!"
The King of Thieves was enraged by the shadows. Since you won't let me leave, you won't have an easy time either! He attacked brazenly, changing his previous frivolous style and becoming extremely aggressive in his fighting style.
The spells attached to the eight darts were also fully activated. These eight darts represented eight directions, which was the art of Qimen Dunjia. He also used this art to raise eight different kinds of monsters, which could use many magical powers such as calling the wind and rain, shaking the mountains and the earth.
"Die!"
The shadows were attacked one after another by the King of Thieves, and the balance of the battlefield tilted towards this side at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not fast enough, still not fast enough! The Thief King's attacks became more and more fierce. Every second late, the outside world would damage one more building, and then it would be his responsibility! Faster, faster! The Thief King was so fast that his mouth was dry, but he was still anxious and wanted to end the battle in an instant.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Suddenly his body felt lighter, and something seemed to appear inside him, making him go even faster.
But his speed just now was already the limit.
He looked inside himself and was surprised to find that a rapidly rotating fruit had appeared in his body at some point. The fruit seemed real and illusory, like a dream.
"Is this the prototype of the speed fruit that Grandpa Daozu mentioned?"
The Thief King was delighted. He had always been troubled by his inability to condense the prototype of the Speed Dao Fruit, but he never thought that he would be able to break through the limit and condense the prototype of the Dao Fruit in this battle.
He can be considered a half-immortal.
No, now is not the time to think so much, we must quickly deal with these enemies! The Thief King has never felt so light before, which truly reflects what speed is.
It turns out that the old man Daozu possesses such speed. No wonder I can’t escape his grasp every time I cast a spell.
In the eyes of the King of Thieves, the shadows' movements were as slow as a snail's pace and posed no threat at all.
He severely damaged the six shadows like autumn wind chopping off fallen leaves.
He originally wanted to join in the battle between Meng Jingzhou and Shadow, but the battlefield there alternated between extreme cold and extreme heat. Even with his speed, he could not intervene and could not get close to the battlefield.
Forget it, I’m not needed here, it’s time to go out and help.
The King of Thieves tore open the space and came to Zhongshan County.
However, Zhongshan County was unexpectedly intact, with basically no traces of fighting.
What's going on? Suddenly, his head went dark, and he saw a huge and boundless handprint appear. The Thief King had no doubt that once it landed on Zhongshan County, it would become a ruin.
In order to avoid being hit, the Yin and Yang bodies of Lord Si Heng had to fight back with all their might: "The universe is in my palm!"
The Buddha Kingdom in the palm of the hand fell, the universe in the palm rose, and the two big handprints collided in the air. Zhongshan County survived in this delicate balance.
"Hahaha, let's see how long you can hold on!"
Lu Yang laughed wildly and continued to use the Buddha Kingdom in his palm. Anyway, his power came from the Buddha Kingdom's clone and he could never use it up. He didn't believe that Lord Si Heng could outlast him!
The King of Thieves watched the battle silently, caught in a dilemma.
Who should I help?
