Chapter 138 Daoist Priest Yuan Shi's Astonishing Wealth

Osmon spun on his heel, abruptly turning around, raising his hand to parry while simultaneously throwing a punch.

The hard Mountain God Scepter slammed heavily against Osmon's forearm, tearing his sleeve and revealing an arm covered in bluish-black scales.

Silver Plume County Princess bent her elbow forward, meeting the fist. “Crack!”

Osmon’s finger bones instantly shattered, and the scales on his forearm were also torn. He staggered back, his eyes wide with shock. He knew that the Siren's body was not only incredibly strong but also possessed highly defensive scales.

He, a peak Level 6, had actually suffered a loss in front of a spirit corpse. This spirit corpse not only possessed skilled combat techniques but also a strength that was not weaker than his.

In fact, Silver Plume County Princess was far from being Osmon's match. Her strength was roughly equivalent to a Level 6 Star Official at 10%. The Night Wanderer was not a melee-type profession. The reason she could suppress Osmon was the Mountain God Scepter.

The Mountain God Scepter had a “Refinement” function, a skill that Zhang Yuanqing rarely used, because it required time. Silver Plume County Princess hadn't used it earlier, but had been secretly refining this area. Before, the Green Wood Branch members present were all Wood Demons and couldn't sense the Earth Veins. Only the Earth Wanderer, Wu Agui, must have sensed it, but he remained silent.

“Whoosh~” A shrill wind sound came from overhead. Silver Plume County Princess gracefully retreated. Where she stood, sounds of explosions rang out, and several cracks appeared. Silver Plume County Princess raised her hand and snapped her fingers, returning to her master's side.

Hoover descended, hovering over Xia Zuo and Osmon, confronting Zhang Yuanqing and his spirit corpses. Hoover's gaze swept over the nine spirit corpses, then lingered in the void for a few seconds, and said, “Apart from those three spirit corpses whose aura reaches Level 6, the rest are not to be feared. But there is a very strong mental force, probably a Level 6 Spirit Servant. This Yuan Shi Tianzun has actually refined so many high-quality spirit items.”

Osmon said with a sullen face, “Hmph, I have items that can restrain spirit creatures.”

Hoover nodded. “Then let's formulate a strategy!” His lips moved, but no sound came out.

Osmon and Xia Zuo listened intently. Sound relied on air to transmit. As a Wind Mage, compressing the sound waves was easy to do. While the three were plotting, Zhang Yuanqing did something that baffled the onlookers. He retreated more than ten meters, sat cross-legged, and took out a black disc, placing it on his knees.

“What is he doing?” Xia Zuo and Hoover didn't understand. It wasn't until starlight appeared in Yuan Shi Tianzun's eyes that Hoover's pupils shrank, and he immediately said, “Abandon the plan, improvise!”

As an elite of the Heavenly Punishment, he knew very well what the other party wanted to do. During the Extraordinary stage, the Night Wanderer was a top assassin. In the Star Official stage, they became the masterminds behind the scenes, arranging formations.

And when Star Officials had accumulated a wealth of resources and possessed high-quality and large quantities of spirit corpses and Spirit Servants, they would hide behind the scenes, using Star Gazing to deduce the future, and then manipulate the Spirit Servants and spirit corpses to fight.

So Hoover decisively abandoned the battle plan, because it was very likely that Yuan Shi Tianzun would use Star Gazing to see through the plan's contents and preemptively counter it.

Hoover waved his hands repeatedly, and wind blades rained down on the seated Yuan Shi Tianzun. Zhang Yuanqing ignored them, looking at the sky, his eyes filled with starlight.

As the wind blades arrived, he casually took out the Violet Snow Shield and threw it overhead, while simultaneously dividing half of his spiritual body to control the Ghost Bride. The Ghost Bride successfully caught the Violet Lightning Shield and raised it forward.

Clang clang clang.

Rain-like wind blades struck the shield's surface, sparking. The Ghost Bride moved the shield up and down, blocking all the wind blades aimed at the main body. More wind blades brushed past Zhang Yuanqing, and the pine trees behind him fell in swathes. Search for Sanyou Novels on Bi Ying or Baidu to read first every day.

The shield's surface quickly accumulated two-tenths of its energy. Zhang Yuanqing, gazing at the stars, muttered, “Hurricane!”

At the same time, Hoover, the Fire Master in the distance, spread his arms. “Hurricane!”

A three-meter-high tornado rose from in front of him, swaying towards Zhang Yuanqing. In the process, the tornado's height and diameter rapidly expanded. Dead branches and pine needles were swept into the wind, instantly ground into powder, and scattered into the air.

This wasn't a tornado at all; it was clearly a destructive sweep.

Zhang Yuanqing maintained his Star Gazing posture, his other hand grabbing the Yin-Yang Daoist Robe, After Earth Boots, and Azure Emperor Jade Belt from the void, throwing them one by one to the Gluttonous God General, and ordering the Gluttonous God General to wear them. The set effect was activated.

Starlight became robes, Xuan Water became clothes, and the jade belt shone with glory, surrounded by thick yellow light. The exaggerated special effects made the onlookers who were originally watching the dominator's battle feel a burst of pressure, like encountering a natural enemy.

Unable to breathe, what's going on?

Heart beating so fast, so uncomfortable. The Wood Demons, Earth Wanderers, Fire Masters, and Water Ghosts present experienced symptoms such as difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, and adrenaline rush. Even the two dominators, Wu Agui and Wu Youhua, felt a faint pressure.

"Heaven Worship Set, this is the Heaven Worship Set that Elder Cai mentioned at the Judgement Conference!" In the earpiece, the action team of the Southern Brightness Branch heard the Pursuer Executioner murmur. The Gluttonous God General, with the set effects all in one, half-squatted down, his palms pressed against the ground.

Boom! The earth shook, and walls of earth rose from the ground, blocking the hurricane. The single After Earth Avatar didn't have earth manipulation abilities, but the set effect of the Heaven Worship Set did. It allowed the wearer to possess all the skills of the four professions in the Extraordinary stage. With a series of booms, the earth walls in front of him collapsed, but more earth walls rose from the ground, blocking the hurricane's path forward.

Until the sixth earth wall collapsed, the wind finally exhausted its strength and collapsed, stirring up a gust of wind in the pine forest.

Osmon activated the Heart of the Ocean hanging on his chest. The azure gem lit up, emitting a soft blue light. There was a faint sound of sea waves in the void. Sea waves surged from under Osmon's feet, lifting him high, like a high wall.

Then, he took out a lightning-shaped blue mark from his item bar and stuck it on his forehead.

“Buzz buzz~” The lightning symbol on his forehead lit up. His eyes turned into scorching white pupils, and electric snakes crackled all over his body. A strong surge of electricity merged into the sea waves under his feet, forming a wall of waves that emitted blue and white light in the darkness.

The lightning symbol was a Lightning Mage profession item. Its function was to release a large amount of lightning.

Lightning had a miraculous effect on spirit objects, coupled with the extremely conductive properties of water, producing a destructive power greater than one plus one.

Osmon had many items, many of which were of Extraordinary and Saint quality, but the three most powerful were all out to deal with Yuan Shi Tianzun. He went all out directly.

As a Siren, Osmon wasn't afraid of group battles.

"Want to see what it looks like when spirit corpses are roasted into charcoal?" After speaking, a five-meter-high wave surged towards Yuan Shi Tianzun and his spirit corpses. The pine trees along the way cracked and fell in swathes.

This spectacular scene opened the eyes of the onlookers. Seeing giant waves rise on the flat ground was something that even a Plague God in the Saint stage couldn't do. The Gluttonous God General strode forward, taking the initiative to meet the waves, raising his right hand, his palm pushing forward.

The surging waves suddenly solidified, as if encountering an invisible barrier, unable to advance even half an inch.

The Gluttonous God General gently vibrated his palm. The waves crashed, turning into white foam washing over the mountains.

In terms of water manipulation ability, Water Ghosts weren't inferior to Sirens.

The Gluttonous God General, who possessed all four professions, was almost omnipotent.

Xia Zuo also realized this situation, and immediately took out a straight sword half a man tall, with a cross-shaped hilt. He inserted the straight sword in front of him, pressed his palms on the hilt, and said in a deep voice: "The rule for this battle is to prohibit the use of spirit corpses and Spirit Servants."

The hilt of the Knight's Longsword erupted with sacred white light. The law was signed, and the rules descended. The half of the spiritual body that Zhang Yuanqing had entered into the Gluttonous God General was “ejected” out.

Returning to the sea of consciousness through the imprint, all spirit corpses and Spirit Servants were silenced. Xia Zuo's face turned gray.

Xia Zuo was using Judge, one of the core skills: Edict!

Judges could formulate laws through Edicts. For those whose level was lower than their own, the law was the rule and could not be violated.

For those higher than or at the same level as themselves, the law could not form a rule suppression, but as long as they violated the law, the Judge could use the second main skill: Judgement!

Zhang Yuanqing, still gazing at the stars, said indifferently, “Silver Plume!”

Silver Plume County Princess understood and immediately took out a neatly folded perfect human skin from her pocket, throwing it to a Level 4 spirit corpse next to her. That spirit corpse turned into Zhang Yuanqing's appearance.

Then, Silver Plume County Princess raised her scepter, and the surrounding pine trees mutated, shaking their crowns and firing steel needle-like pine needles at Xia Zuo, preventing the law from forming a rule.

Breaking the rule was very simple, just let the spirit corpse launch an attack. The pine needles naturally couldn't hurt Xia Zuo, but the law he set was thus broken.

“Violators shall be beheaded!” Xia Zuo helplessly chose another core skill, “Judgement”, his expression solemn, raising his sword and forcefully slashing down, splitting the Level 4 spirit corpse in half from the crack between its eyebrows.

"It's my turn!" Zhang Yuanqing, gazing at the stars, took out the Rogue Disc and the Lucky Necklace, throwing them to a Level 4 spirit corpse.

That spirit corpse held up the turntable in one hand and put on the necklace in the other, turning the pointer.

On the black and white disc, the pointer spun around. Zhang Yuanqing took out the useless sneakers and threw them to the Level 6 spirit corpse, Hundred-Man Slayer, and then took the Violet Lightning Shield from the Ghost Bride and threw it out.

In the process, he recalled the spiritual body in the Ghost Bride and transferred it to Hundred-Man Slayer through the imprint.

Hundred-Man Slayer reached out and picked up the Violet Lightning Shield, put on the slide shoes, and ran towards Osmon standing on the sea waves.

The Gluttonous God General, wearing the Heaven Worship Set, shot out like an arrow, his target was Xia Zuo. The remaining spirit corpses surrounded like wolves, waiting for an opportunity. Silver Plume County Princess stayed put, guarding in front of her master.

Woo... In the shrill whistling wind, wind blades as dense as bullets slashed towards Hundred-Man Slayer. The wind blades of a peak Saint could easily cut him in half, who wasn't good at defense. Hundred-Man Slayer held up his shield, nimbly dodging the wind blades. If he couldn't avoid them, he would use his slide shoes to forcefully evade.

Xia Zuo leaped up high, the straight sword erupting with dazzling blood, blue and white light, launching a jumping slash at the Gluttonous God General.

Holy Strike!

A Knight profession skill in the Extraordinary stage, this skill had the addition of holy power, possessing both physical and spiritual attacks. Even an Earth Wanderer of the same level would be injured by a sword.

The Gluttonous God General, with the coordination of the Wood Demon, stopped as he wanted, the surface of the long blade rising with bright fire. The blade flicked back. When the long blade and the straight sword collided, fire and holy light intertwined and raged. Xia Zuo only felt his hands go numb, and his tiger's mouth cracked.

The Gluttonous God General thrust forward, using both hands and feet, the sword light like rain, a burst of rapid attacks. The Heavenly Punishment Knight, known for his powerful melee combat, was sent flying out like a broken sack, crashing heavily to the ground, covered in multiple sword wounds, bleeding profusely, and difficult to heal.

He didn't even have time to set a law. Seeing this scene, Osmon and Hoover's pupils shrank violently.

Xia Zuo was the strongest melee fighter among the three, but in front of Yuan Shi Tianzun, he couldn't even last ten seconds. The Gluttonous God General was originally a Level 6 peak Bewitching Demon skilled in melee combat. With the blessing of the Heaven Worship Set, he possessed the fighting skills of the Bewitching Demon, the strange power and balance of the Wood Demon, the speed and agility of the Fire Master, and the endurance and defense of the Earth Wanderer.

In the Saint Realm, there were almost no one who could fight him in melee combat.

Osmon, who had home field advantage, and Hoover, who had air superiority, were difficult to deal with. On the contrary, the "ordinary" Xia Zuo became the team's weakness.

The Gluttonous God General dragged his blade and ran towards Xia Zuo. At a critical moment, a lifelike steed rushed out from the sea waves under Osmon's feet, arriving before the Gluttonous God General, lifted Xia Zuo and threw him onto the horse's back, galloping back to its master's territory.

Among the Sirens in the Extraordinary stage, there was a skill "Horse Taming". The horse was the first sea monster controlled by the Siren, possessing both the abilities to charge and escape.

"Don't mind that spirit corpse, it doesn't have water manipulation ability. If it dares to approach me, it will die," Osmon shouted: "Solve this one first."

He had the Heart of the Ocean. In the area covered by seawater, he was invincible. The only one who could threaten him was this Yuan Shi Tianzun, who also possessed water manipulation ability.

Concentrating the important items on the strongest spirit corpse was a wise strategy. Hoover responded loudly: "Okay!"

He gave up intercepting Hundred-Man Slayer and grabbed a goose egg-sized eyeball from the item bar. The whole thing was scarlet, and the pupil was a dark vertical pupil. This wasn't a human eyeball, but the eyeball of some giant animal.

The vertical pupil shot out a beam of black light straight at the Gluttonous God General, submerging him in the black light. Even a Level 6 peak spirit corpse couldn't resist.

“Crack crack” The Gluttonous God General's body was quickly covered with a layer of gray and white, showing the color of rock. The gray and white continued to spread, and in an instant, the Gluttonous God General became a stone sculpture.

Hoover and Osmon shot at the same time. The former had a terrible eyeball, containing a curse.

“Okay!” A shout rang out!

The latter compressed the seawater into a water column with terrible impact force. The water column contained a strong current. The Gluttonous God General collapsed under the double attack, turning into rubble, and the rubble disappeared immediately.

Hoover's face changed, "This is illusion... Osmon, be careful!"

A black shadow appeared out of thin air above Osmon's head, and a long knife slashed straight down. At the same time, Yi Chuanmei raised his head and issued a sharp cry that ordinary people couldn't hear. Search for Sanyou Novels on Bi Ying or Baidu to read first every day.

Osmon and Hoover's brains buzzed, and warm blood spurted from their nostrils. At the critical moment, Xia Zuo, half-conscious, opened his eyes and said "Be careful!" to his two companions.

The soul-tearing mental attack wasn't difficult to endure for this Extraordinary-stage ascetic who had tempered his body and spirit. It even stimulated him, allowing him to wake up in advance. Looking at the spirit corpse falling from the sky, Xia Zuo, with a pale face, calmly took out an inverted puppet and aimed it at the Gluttonous God General above.

The puppet was a Alchemist profession item, capable of causing the target's perception to be disordered, losing perception of their limbs.

The Gluttonous God General lost his sense of his hands, and the long knife was difficult to cut down. Grabbing the opportunity, Hoover waved a large number of wind blades, slashing at the Gluttonous God General, but the Gluttonous God General, with the defense of the Earth Wanderer, was only knocked away.

On the other side, Hundred-Man Slayer stopped ten meters away from the two, fused the Violet Lightning Shield, melting it into a thirty-centimeter-long hand cannon, the dark muzzle aimed at the two, pulled the trigger. The muzzle flickered with electric arcs, and a blazing ball of lightning roared out.

Osmon woke up in time. A giant sea monster drilled out of the sea waves under his feet, opened its giant mouth and swallowed the ball of lightning. “Boom!” The sea monster's body exploded into a rainstorm. The aftermath of the explosion was very close to Osmon and Xia Zuo. The violent air waves crashed into them, their blood surging, their breathing blocked. After the attack failed, he immediately switched the Lightning Cannon back to the Violet Lightning Shield form, raised it towards the sky, and lightning struck down from the void, which was the price of using the Lightning Cannon.

Osmon, with a layer of cold sweat on his back, manipulated the seawater, condensing it into a sea monster and slammed into Hundred-Man Slayer. The terrifying impact of the sea monster crashing into the shield sent Hundred-Man Slayer flying out.

Cracks appeared on the Violet Lightning Shield, but the shield's energy was finally full.

Hoover waved a hurricane again. Hundred-Man Slayer slipped to avoid the attack and retreated back to Zhang Yuanqing's side. Hoover didn't chase, manipulating the air currents to send his voice secretly to his two companions' ears, "All of our responses have been calculated by Yuan Shi Tianzun. We can't let him continue Star Gazing, otherwise there's no chance of winning. This guy has too many items!" Too many, at the end, his tone was a little gnashing of teeth. They were already the elite among the elite, but truly top-quality items were few and far between. They had never seen someone like Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Not only did he use high-quality spirit corpses and Spirit Servants, but he also had so many high-quality items… Hearing this, Osmon's mouth twitched fiercely, no longer able to be arrogant.

Although he was very unwilling to admit that Yuan Shi Tianzun was strong, the facts before him made him unable to deny it.

Yuan Shi Tianzun hadn't even sent out a Spirit Servant, only sending part of his forces and already making them so embarrassed.

Xia Zuo injected half a tube of life essence. The Heavenly Punishment's life essence reserves weren't as vast as the Five Elements Alliance's, but Xia Zuo, as an elite, still had some.

The unrecoverable sword wound stopped bleeding instantly, but it couldn't heal itself in a short time. As he felt his injuries improve, he said, "What you said is very reasonable, but he has high-quality spirit corpses and Spirit Servants guarding him. Your tactics won't be so easy to succeed. Moreover, is this also within his expectations?"

Hoover's expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, a black and white disc was thrown over and landed steadily not far from them, falling into the seawater summoned by Osmon.

The three of them felt a chill in their hearts, looking in the direction of the sound.

The disc was submerged in seawater, unable to see its body, but a dialogue box was clearly reflected in the eyes of the three Lingjing Xingzhe.

[Question: One day, a cash-strapped but talented scholar in Lingjing came to a brothel. The brothel was having an event, and the madam came up with a couplet, saying that as long as you could come up with the bottom couplet, you could get a free session with a girl in the brothel. The upper couplet is: A beauty reclines, horizontally and vertically two extra mouths.]

[Note: Please answer the bottom couplet, 30-second countdown: 3…]

Then, there were only three seconds left. The Yin-Yang Turntable had only three seconds left when it was thrown over.

Zhang Yuanqing had been waiting for the Yin-Yang Turntable's clear countdown, this was one of his means of victory.

Couplet?! The three Lingjing Xingzhe revealed expressions of confusion. With Lingjing translation, the font on the turntable was in their native language.

Understanding wasn't difficult, but they didn't know what a couplet was at all.

In the midst of confusion, 3 seconds passed.

The black part of the Yin-Yang Turntable emitted three black lights, shining on Osmon, Xia Zuo, and Hoover.

The three of them gasped, the vitality in their bodies flowing away rapidly, their bodies becoming weak, their eyes dimming, their skin losing its luster, instantly aging several years.

Hoover was shocked and flew into the sky, colliding with an invisible barrier at a height of four meters. This was the domain of the Yin-Yang Turntable.

"Cough, cough cough" Just as Hoover was about to try to break the restriction, he suddenly felt his throat itchy, his lungs burning, and his forehead scorching.

Thump!

He fell from the air, coughing non-stop, even showing symptoms of vomiting.

"Cough cough!" Osmon and Xia Zuo followed suit, coughing, also infected with the disease. This accelerated the loss of their lives. The disease spread by the Ghost Bride quietly invaded their bodies, finally breaking out at this moment.

Osmon could no longer maintain the Heart of the Ocean, the towering waves collapsed into white foam washing over the mountains.

He and Xia Zuo fell into the mud together.

“Woo~” At this time, a strong wind was blowing in the high sky, and a giant wind blade ten meters long descended, slashing at the restriction of the Rogue Disc. The Hunter was always paying attention to the battle below.

Zhang Yuanqing finally made a move. He snatched the Violet Lightning Shield from Hundred-Man Slayer, and the shield dissolved into starlight and disappeared.

The starlight immediately appeared above the restriction. Zhang Yuanqing stepped on the restriction as if standing in the void, activating the power of the circular shield's rules.

A huge energy shield popped out of the shield's surface.

Bang!

The giant wind blade slashed on the energy shield, failing to stir up any waves. The only Gluttonous God General remaining in the restriction bought time. He walked to Hoover, kicked away the life essence that the other party had just taken out, and raised the long blade.

Hoover quickly grabbed a bottle of perfume and sprayed it at the Gluttonous God General.

“Let me go, perfume has the charm to make people infatuated, it’s an item of the Love Desire profession. People who smell the scent will be bewitched and unable to attack the perfume holder." However, the sword light didn't stop and slashed down.

Zhang Yuanqing sneered. He had already foreseen this step, so he had withdrawn the spiritual body. Spirit corpses wouldn't be charmed, they were just puppets. The Wind Mage's hands and legs left his body, and he let out a painful wail.

Seeing this scene, Osmon and Xia Zuo were desperate. Still extremely weak, Osmon gritted his teeth and tremblingly took out the life essence, intending to inject it forcefully.

He wasn't willing to admit defeat like this. The Gluttonous God General squeezed out a fireball and smashed it over, exploding beside him.

With a bang, Xia Zuo and Osmon were both blown away. Zhang Yuanqing manipulated the Gluttonous God General to stride forward, stepping on Osmon's face and making a hoarse voice: "You don't even deserve me to use my trump cards!"

Osmon's handsome face flushed with excitement, his lips trembling violently. He was too weak to even speak. Since his debut, he had never suffered such humiliation.

Zhang Yuanqing slashed his long blade and cut off the two men's hands and feet. Osmon's eyes went black and he fainted.

The dominators in the air were still fighting, but the battle on the ground was over. Silver Plume County Princess outside the restriction raised a small horn and shouted: "Item Celestial Venerable, the name is not in vain."

The onlookers in the distance were quiet, no cheers, no applause, only heavy breathing and the sound of swallowing saliva.
