Chapter 484: 442进步 Four

"Is it just a misunderstanding, General Farn, or are you being too sensitive?" Ding Meng’s thoughts raced, but her face remained impassive.

With a cold snort, Farn quickly walked away from her side.

The moment he left, a tiny shadow silently drifted like a drop of water, landing on the metal plate beneath Ding Meng’s feet.

Since it wasn’t part of the same system and hadn’t directly contaminated the force field itself, Ding Meng felt nothing.

Only after watching the Shadow Dragon leave completely did she let out a soft sigh, turning into a streak of silver light and shooting away.

As she left, the shadow on the floor suddenly rose, merging into Ding Meng’s shadow below with the other dust, as if it had burst and spread out.

Everything quieted down, with only the occasional blue particle streams from patrolling fighters streaking across the distant starry sky.

Minutes later.

A flash of black light, and Farn appeared at the spot with Ying.

"It’s stuck to her, and she didn’t notice," Farn said as he crouched down, touching the spot where the shadow had fallen.

"After taking care of her, in three days, all of our preparations will be complete, and by then... the entire Blind Spot Star will lie prostrate beneath our feet! The Earth-Moon will transform into our hunting grounds!" A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"First, we’ll kill Jiu Yi. Then, we’ll raid all the mixed and remaining blood, and swallow all living shadows, which will nicely stabilize our Dragon King realm," said Ying calmly.

"These fools must think we need to sublime and imprint step by step. They couldn’t even dream that our Dragon King Ceremony could..." Farn’s words trailed off, but the scorn on his face grew thicker.

Shaoyin Country.

Atop an endless expanse of dark plains.

Countless wild horses surged like a tidal wave, driven towards the direction of the setting sun.

The massive herd of horses was like a grey-black river.

Neighs and the thunder of hooves, mixed with roars as ferocious as lions and tigers, deterred even the local Xuan Crows known for their fearlessness from approaching. They could only circle high above, waiting for an opportunity.

Amid the herd, on a bent and withered tree, stood two tall figures clad in blue and white gowns, quietly watching from the treetops in the distance.

One was burly, the other was thin as a reed, emaciated.

They were Li Chengyi and Qiu Ming, who had just hurried over from Quling Mansion.

"Congyun County is just ahead; the Armyworm Cult’s headquarters are there. We’ll first scout for information on the side, assess the situation, then launch a swift focused attack to behead the cult leader," Qiu Ming arranged.

"Did the master mention any specific requirements?" Li Chengyi asked.

"Not in particular," Qiu Ming shook her head. "But if we advance rashly, even we might encounter trouble if surrounded. After all, the Armyworm Cult has ties with the major families within the city, and there might be foreign powers involved... "

"We don’t have that much time to waste," Li Chengyi interrupted her, looking towards the distant end where a small black county town loomed.

He needed more Evil Thoughts to swiftly meet the Green Fleece Mugwort’s requirements and complete an evolution.

So... what kind of Evil Thoughts are the easiest to obtain at such times?

Fear.

In an instant, Li Chengyi leapt, landing lightly as the manifold hooves of wild horses galloped past him, engulfing him like the sea in the blink of an eye.

Boom!!!

Just then, a large billow of white smoke rose and spread out, engulfing the area.

Whish!

A massive gust blew in all directions, causing the herd to scatter and leave gaps.

True Qi dispersed, and an eighteen-meter-tall armored deer-man holding an Ashen Trident stood there firmly, like a hill that had suddenly risen from the ground.

He breathed out two streams of white air from his nostrils, his pale golden eyes looking towards Congyun County as he stepped forward, approaching with heavy strides.

Standing on the withered tree, Qiu Ming admired the sight within the white smoke and clicked her tongue in wonder.

"No matter how many times I see it, Junior Brother’s real form is truly exaggerated."

A normal person’s True Seal state could never be this huge.

Eighteen meters, the height of a small building, Li Chengyi’s enormous form stood out on the plains like a lighthouse, stark and clearly visible.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom!

With each pounding step, Li Chengyi moved closer to Congyun County.

Given his height, the warriors over there could clearly see him.

"Within fifty breaths, I shall destroy Congyun County, and those uninvolved may leave of their own accord."

Li Chengyi’s voice boomed, his powerful vocal waves forming sonic booms that shook every door and window in the buildings emanating out of Congyun County.

"Of course, you might as well stay and share the city’s fate, whether you’re a civilian or a warrior. Anyone who remains, I shall treat equally, providing complete destruction," he announced as his ashen deer body inched closer to Congyun County, the earth trembling with his presence, leaving gaping hoof prints in the plains.

The moment his words fell, a swarm of warriors frantically dispersed from Congyun County.

Like frightened birds, they fled the city in all directions, followed by civilians, horses, donkeys, carts, and all manner of swift-moving vehicles that were employed for escape.

However, no high-ranking members of the Armyworm Cult left. Qiu Ming, hiding at the back, had locked on; she would strike at the first sign of a Cult escapee.

Within the city.

The Chief of the Armyworm Cult, Ouyang Changhe, looked gravely at the looming giant deer-man.

"The Fifth Yin God of Quling Mansion... that day has finally come..." His appearance was that of a middle-aged scholar with grizzled hair and a worldly gaze, dressed in a washed-out grey robe that appeared to have not been changed in many years.

"Wasn’t this day already determined from the start?" Beside him, a representative from Huanggu Pavilion and Spirit Wisdom Valley, Dong Fangling, commented while stroking his beard lightly. "However, the Fifth Yin God has recently pledged allegiance to the Yin Yue Sect, and his strength remains untested. His proclamations, though, are no small matter."

"Even if he is weak, he is still a Yin God. Not someone you or I can contend with," Ouyang Changhe shook his head.

"That might not be the case..." Dong Fangling said, his smile slight but carrying a hint of cunning.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

The heavy footsteps drew closer and closer with each echoing thud.

The house they sat in began to tremble subtly.

"Little Heng, go and meet with your family," Dong Fangling suddenly clapped his hands.

In the shadow behind him, a slim figure slowly emerged, dressed in red clothes and skirt, her expression indifferent. It was Wang Yiheng, the second daughter of the Wang Family who had been missing for a long time and could not be found!

"Yes," she said softly as she clasped her fists in a salute toward Dong Fangling, then turned and left the hut, charging toward the huge approaching deer person.

"Sigh..." Dong Fangling sighed again, "I never thought that a casual move from the past could play a good role today."

He stood up and looked at Ouyang Changhe.

"Two Yin Gods are coming, and it just so happens that Commander Tu Shanming, who is leading the team, has also arrived. What do you think? With the strengths of Xiao Shuai and Chen Shuai, can we break the situation at Quling Mansion with a sneak attack?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Changhe’s originally pessimistic mood abruptly paused, replaced by hope, a sudden glimmer of hope.

"Yin God commanders are all on the same level of strength, and all are renowned and formidable figures able to dominate a territory. If it’s a sneak attack... caught off guard, the Yin Gods will surely be critically hit! By then..." He finally realized why the organization deliberately leaked the information, to lure the Yin Gods here.

"Just as you’re thinking, from start to finish, this matter is a scheme," Dong Fangling said with a smile, watching the direction of the gradually approaching heavy footsteps.

"We will surely win this battle!"

Wuuu~~~~

A harsh horn sounded from various parts of the county town. It was the signal from the Armyworm Cult indicating a retreat.

But Li Chengyi had no time to care about these now.

A torrent of fear and Evil Thoughts surged toward him like the sea, madly gathering.

Although 99 percent of them were fear +1, the sheer number was overwhelming.

In a county town with hundreds of thousands of people, if even one-tenth harbored fear toward him, he could instantly fill all the Evil Thoughts required for the Divine Flower Position.

Thus, in just half a minute, Green Fleece Mugwort and all other main flowers that needed Evil Thoughts completed their accumulation.

Excess Evil Thoughts spilled over, unable to be absorbed, causing heartache.

Li Chengyi held a giant tri-pointed halberd, and step by step, he walked toward the outskirts of the county town, stopping in front of the city wall.

His height was almost the same as the city walls, even slightly taller.

The soldiers and martial artists standing on the wall all knelt down and kowtowed to him, trying to beg for mercy.

Some Armyworm Cult disciples shot arrows at him, but the arrows struck his eyelids and couldn’t even penetrate the tough outer membrane.

White mist swirled around him, and giant antlers like dead trees cast their shadow upon the wall.

"Admirable courage," he commented.

Li Chengyi lifted the tri-pointed halberd high above his head.

Numerous people screamed, fleeing from beneath the wall gate below him.

But more followers of the Armyworm Cult frantically hurled iron spears at him.

These spears, like little sticks, bounced off his skin without leaving a mark and fell to the ground.

Swish!

A figure in red lightly landed, standing in front of Li Chengyi.

"Ah Chen!"

The figure raised her head, revealing a face somewhat familiar to Li Chengyi.

It was indeed Wang Yiheng!

As she looked up at the huge head of Li Chengyi, tears involuntarily filled her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

"I... finally..."

Boom!!!

Suddenly, there was a thunderous noise.

The terrifying tri-pointed halberd crashed down like thunder from the sky.

In an instant, it went dark!

The city wall burst open, as if a large bite had been taken out of the middle of a cake, with the giant tri-pointed halberd sliding down it until it reached the bottom.

Wang Yiheng, along with the city wall, was completely smashed into a pulp, indistinguishable within the rubble.

Just then, to the right of Li Chengyi, a figure shrouded in black mist, dressed in fierce black armor and a ghostly mask, had just pulled out the handle of his sword, ready to launch a sneak attack.

Seeing this scene, he was immediately stunned.

"!!??"

Dong Fangling and Ouyang Changhe inside the house were also stunned.

"!!?"

"!!!"

What on earth was this!!?

"Has that guy gone mad!?" Ouyang Changhe was dumbfounded; it was his first time seeing the Fifth Yin God, but this...

"Let’s go! Something’s wrong with that guy!!" Dong Fangling made a snap decision, pulling him and leaping up, breaking through the window, and heading for the back of the city.

Moo!!!

Within the roar, billows of white mist churned, rapidly rushing into the city center with Li Chengyi at its core.

The white mist flowed like a river, quickly engulfing half of the county town. These were True Qi that Li Chengyi had once blended into his body, now being released and depressurized, instantly transforming into an oceanic assault.

He stepped into the collapsed wall, his giant eyes scanning the buildings inside the city one by one.

"How dare these trifles be insolent before me..."

His powerful consciousness instantly recognized that Wang Yiheng was a fake.

His consciousness power, already enhanced by the Seven Spirit Holy Technique, coupled with further strengthening from practicing the Triple Yin Canon Techniques, allowed him to analyze and record all details of someone of Wang Yiheng’s level at just a glance.

If it were a common Yin God, like the fool Tiancan or weaklings like Du Her, they could be fooled for a while, but not him.

So.

All of a sudden, turning around, Li Chengyi swung his halberd, directly hitting a streak of black light that was shooting toward him.

Clang!!!

The loud noise exploded, and white mist burst forth like a living creature, lunging toward the source of the black light.

But at that moment, another streak of black light emerged from the ground behind Li Chengyi, silently aiming for his back. With terrifying speed, over fifteen times the speed of sound, it fiercely struck his spine.

Boom!!!

The deafening explosion spread, with layers of white mist dispersing, scattering the surrounding True Qi.

That was a ferocious mace, which was twelve meters long, firmly embedded into the bone armor on Li Chengyi’s back.
