Chapter 23: The End

The barrier still exists, indicating that Uncle and the Marshal have encountered enemies and cannot spare any effort to help.

Ling Tuo and Nanpai Chairman Zhang Yuanqing reached out and groped forward, directly penetrating the barrier like Xiahou Aotian, without touching anything.

The Red Dancing Shoes activated its tracking ability. This is due to the rules, so it can touch the existence of the barrier, while others cannot. For others, the barrier is as if it doesn't exist.

Sophia also tried and found that she couldn't touch the barrier. She immediately said, "Ask Deputy Chairman Fan Xi for help. He is a Void profession, and most restrictions can't stop him, even rule-based ones."

The barrier can't even be touched, so how can it be broken? In her opinion, this "Return of the Dead" revenge battle can be declared a failure.

Although they successfully killed a Nihilist, their four Sovereigns were also trapped as a result. If they don't seek help from higher-ups, they may all be lost. Trading four for one is a crushing defeat!

The Master of Taiyin is indeed worthy of being a Demigod. Although the Leader has tried his best to plan and strategize, he still cannot gain any advantage from the other side. In this situation, asking Deputy Chairman Fan Xi to step in seems to be the fastest and safest solution.

Eighth-level Sovereigns can already touch the rules, or rather, they can be equated with rules.

Deng Jingguo and Xiahou Aotian nodded in silence upon hearing this. The latter took out his phone: "I have his contact information saved."

"Why do you have his contact information saved?" Zhang Yuanqing asked, puzzled.

"Merchants are major suppliers of materials, so of course I have to contact them. As the company's CEO, I'm breaking my back for the company!" Xiahou Aotian said, "Unlike you, who act as a hands-off manager with no sense of responsibility."

If you do business with him, the company will go bankrupt sooner or later. Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself as he pressed the speakerphone on the protagonist's phone. He smiled and said, "My sense of responsibility isn't in the company, but in..."

He suddenly leaped up. The brand-new Red Dancing Shoes automatically turned into a dark red glow, adorning his feet. Zhang Yuanqing flipped in mid-air, flexed his knees, and kicked sideways at the invisible barrier.

"Bang bang!"

In the muffled sound of firecrackers exploding underwater, a hole was kicked into the barrier. The crack spread and expanded rapidly, eventually disappearing into the darkness.

Zhang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Here."

Xiahou Aotian, Deng Jingguo, and Sophia all looked at Yuan Shi Tian Zun, suddenly realizing that the Leader's plans and strategies were far more secure than they thought.

Inside the Cloud Dream Divine Realm.

"Do you think that advancing to Day Wanderer will allow you to compete with the Leader?" The sixth Elder of Dark Night Rose was sometimes on the left and sometimes on the right, constantly changing position in the pouring rain.

While stimulating the growth of bacteria, she used words to provoke the enemy, striking at their will and further guiding the Pure Yang Headmaster's emotions, enhancing the impact of the drum sounds.

"Do you think that by gathering multiple Sovereigns, and having a Demigod supporting you, you can take revenge on Nanpai? But the Leader is a Demigod. With his level of power, even Demigods of the same level are under his observation. The Leader has long anticipated that your target is the Third Elder," the sixth Protector sneered.

"Your main body isn't here, is it? You haven't used any props from beginning to end, indicating that you are just an avatar. You deliberately gathered the Sovereigns who have karmic entanglements with the Leader, while the main body is going to deal with other high-level Nanpai members. Such a clumsy trick can be seen through even without astrology."

"Guess what kind of trump cards the Nanpai Elders have in their hands?" Her words successfully caused the Lord of Zhisha Palace, Ms. J0jo, Xiao Yuan, and the King of Magic Eyes to feel worried and anxious, because Yuan Shi's plan was just like that.

With such layers of amplification, the drum sounds even shook Ms. Jojo, who completely lost her combat power, her fur standing on end like a frightened bird. Xiao Yuan was also struggling to support herself. The Palace Lord was a musician and in a slightly better condition. The King of Magic Eyes had a firm will and was not greatly affected other than losing his fighting spirit. But an ancient war god who has lost his fighting spirit is equivalent to losing his soul.

He almost became a punching bag for the Extinction Heavenly King. If the Lord of Zhisha Palace hadn't been pouring out life essence from her Demon Refining Pot from time to time to heal him, he would have returned to the Spirit Realm long ago.

Zhang Yuanqing drew back the golden bow, forcing back the Pure Yang Headmaster who was attacking Ms. J0jo. His eyes followed the elusive sixth Protector as he asked, "Did your Leader calculate who the main body is dealing with? Can he calculate how quickly the main body can resolve the battle? Can he calculate how many helpers there are who have no karmic entanglement with him, and can he calculate the true combat power of the main body?"

As soon as the voice fell, the rain curtain suddenly shook. An invisible ripple split open from the night sky, as if a mirror world had shed an invisible layer of clothing.

The two sides, who were engaged in fierce battle, stopped at the same time, looking up and around.

The sixth Protector of Dark Night Rose's tone changed.

"The rules of the Cloud Dream Divine Realm have been broken."

The rules have been broken. The Nanpai Chief Elder stopped beating the drum, and the Pure Yang Headmaster and Extinction Heavenly King's faces darkened.

Zhang Yuanqing's avatar changed his solemn expression, smiling quite easily, "He can't calculate the true state of the Illusion God's item, can't calculate who I'm really dealing with, can't calculate the details of those who have no karmic entanglement with him."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Come out, it's you, my main body!"

In the shout, a golden five-clawed divine dragon broke through the night, pierced through the rain curtain, and crashed straight into the Third Elder.

The Third Elder immediately raised the pale white leg bone, preparing to strike the drum surface, when he suddenly saw the golden dragon close its eyes and fall down, snoring loudly.

The four Sovereigns on the dragon's back staggered, taking to the air to avoid overturning.

This thing easily lowers the tone, so I won't use it when I make an appearance in the future.

Zhang Yuanqing directly activated the Sunrise and Blazing Sun God combination skill, took out the Soul-Destroying Blade, and streaked towards the Third Elder like a shooting star.

The main body and the avatar share the soul. After breaking the barrier, the two sides regained contact, and everything that happened in the Cloud Dream Divine Realm was fed back to him through the avatar.

This drum is the key to determining victory or defeat. If it is not dealt with, it will be difficult for us to win this battle.

"Receive!"

As the Third Elder struck the skin drum, Zhang Yuanqing, who was diving down, immediately activated the Illusion God's heart, trying to nullify the spiritual power or rules contained in the drum sound.

But he failed. The drum sound entered his ears and brain without any impact, and the fear and submission emotions in his heart overwhelmed him like a tide.

He involuntarily avoided the Third Elder, and like the five-clawed golden dragon just now, he plunged into the nearby building, causing an exaggerated collapse.

Zhang Yuanqing rushed out of the ruins, activated the Soul-Destroying Blade's soul-capturing ability, and made a soul-capturing gesture towards the Fifth Elder, but was immediately disturbed by the drum sound in his ears, and the skill was interrupted.

As long as the drum sound doesn't stop, he can't attack the drummer.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately shouted loudly: "Seal the drum first!"

Xiahou Aotian opened his inventory and offered a metal obelisk more than two meters high, throwing it hard at the Third Elder.

At the same time, pieces of steel rushed out of his inventory, attaching to his body and arming him into a three-meter-high mecha. The mecha's left forehead emitted a beam of light, and its right hand fired armor-piercing arrows, relentlessly pouring down on the Pure Yang Headmaster, the Sixth Protector, and the Extinction Heavenly King. The True Man Mirror used his own power to restrain and suppress three Sovereigns.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

The Third Elder of Nanpai continuously struck the drum surface, and the heavy, mountain-like sound waves filled the mirror world.

The Sovereigns who returned from the dead opened all their skills, their faces pale. Mecha Xiahou Aotian felt fear, uncontrollably sheathed his weapons, erected an energy barrier, turning offense into defense. But the metal obelisk he threw out ignored the impact of the sound waves and flew unswervingly towards the animal skin drum.

As a prop for the Scholar profession, it has an inherent immunity to props as a sealing prop.

"Buzz!"

The inscriptions on the metal obelisk lit up one by one, and the sealing incantations were activated. An invisible wave rippled out.

Dong, dong, dong, dong, the Second Elder of Nanpai drummed continuously, and the drum sound showed obvious stagnation and dullness.

The Extinction Heavenly King kicked away the King of Magic Eyes with one foot, and an armor-piercing crossbow bolt swept to the Third Elder's side. He reached out and grabbed the metal obelisk.

Zhang Yuanqing put on the Purple-Gold Suit, crashed into the Extinction Heavenly King's arms, straddled her, and swung his fists.

"Bang bang!" Two punches, under the powerful resonance, the Extinction Heavenly King's jaw shattered, and several bloody molars were spat out.

"Bah!"

The slightly stagnant drum sound rang again, Zhang Yuanqing's body stiffened, and the Purple-Gold Armor on his body showed a melting trend as if it had encountered a nemesis.

The Extinction Heavenly King punched him in the face, splashing purple-gold liquid and knocking him sideways. The six arms holding knives, guns, swords, and halberds simultaneously thrust out their weapons.

At this time, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon finally woke up in the drum sound. When its master was in trouble, it rushed to wrap around his right arm, and a golden round shield suddenly popped out.

The Extinction Heavenly King's weapons stabbed and slashed at the golden shield, but the weapons with their own armor-piercing function failed to break through the shield's defense.

She immediately sheathed her weapons, switched to shield strikes, and bombarded Zhang Yuanqing's chest with eight punches simultaneously.

Zhang Yuanqing's head buzzed and he lost consciousness, while his body was thrown away by the powerful force of the punch.

The Extinction Heavenly King was about to catch up and deliver the final blow, when Sophia in the air swung dozens of feet long wind blades and suddenly slashed down.

The wind blade slashed at the Extinction Heavenly King's head, creating dazzling sparks. Although it did not break through the ancient war god's copper skin and iron bones defense, the powerful impact made her dizzy for a while.

The King of Magic Eyes, with holes all over his body, used himself as a cannonball, crashing into the dizzy Extinction Heavenly King.

"Dong!"

The drum sound rang again, interrupting the battle rhythm of the Returning Dead.

Sophia in the air suddenly coughed violently, her forehead burning hot, her limbs weak, and her body frail. The wind mage became a hotbed for bacterial growth.

The Sixth Elder appeared silently behind her, holding the Sovereign-level prop "Water Knife" and stabbing it towards Sophia's heart.

"Rumble!".

Suddenly, thunder roared, and a tree-like lightning bolt struck down from the sky, hitting the Sixth Elder squarely. The Water Ghost can ignore physical attacks, but cannot withstand lightning strikes. Her body smoked, and she fell screaming.

Zhang Yuanqing and the King of Magic Eyes surrounded the Extinction Heavenly King one after another.

"Is this woman so powerful? She punched out my dinner from last night." Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Eighth-level ancient war god, do you think she's powerful?" The King of Magic Eyes responded.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's Sovereigns were restrained, Xiao Yuan grabbed with her right hand, and a palm-sized, incomplete copper coin appeared on her fingertips, shaking her hand and shooting it towards the animal skin drum.

At this moment, starlight rose from in front of her, accompanied by a frantic scream.

Her head buzzed, and the pain was like a crack. Blood spurted from her nostrils, and she saw starlight above her head.

She saw the Pure Yang Headmaster appearing, his body towering and becoming a giant who supported the sky, while she was an ant in his palm. If the other party gently clasped his palms, she would die.

When she was about to despair and prepare to give up resistance, a warm current suddenly rushed from her sea of consciousness, stabilizing her spirit and calming her fear.

The Pure Yang Headmaster's incarnation as a giant suddenly turned into starlight and fled...

"Do I not exist?" Zhang Yuanqing's avatar did not pursue, sneering.

His duty was the same as Deng Jingguo's, to assist in combat and protect teammates, helping wherever he was needed.

It was he who had just comforted Xiao Yuan's emotions and tried to sneak attack on the Pure Yang Headmaster, but the old thief was too cunning and the sneak attack failed.

The old thief directly night-wandered to hide, and only then did he seize the opportunity to attack Xiao Yuan, but after failing, he immediately used Star Escape to flee. The combination of illusionist and night wanderer is too difficult to kill.

Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, locked onto the animal skin drum, and threw out the copper coin.

In the process, she pinched the magic seal with both hands, closed her eyes and prayed, and made a simple blessing.

The coin was bounced back again, failing to hit the animal skin drum. Even the weakened animal skin drum still had a higher level than the Money Dropping Coin.

At this moment, dense red threads窜 over, wrapping the copper coin. After a flash of red light, she wielded the copper thread and flung it towards the animal skin drum.

The golden copper coin whistled away. Its gap had been repaired. The Lord of Zhisha Palace used the authority of the Demon Refining Pot to temporarily complete the copper coin, allowing it to return to its peak state.

The surrounding rainwater suddenly condensed into a water wall, blocking in front of the copper coin, but in the next second, the spirituality of the water wall turned into nothingness, collapsing with a crash. The copper coin successfully hit the drum, hitting out ten points of black paint, like ink blots.

The black spots spread rapidly, emitting a foul aura that permeated the entire drum surface.

The Third Elder's pale white leg bone fell on the drum surface and could no longer produce the soul-stirring drum sound. This high-quality Sovereign-level prop was finally sealed.

The King of Magic Eyes and others were refreshed and their spirits lifted. The guillotine hanging over their heads was finally removed.

At this moment, thunder pillars, wind blades, red threads, golden arrows, small armor-piercing arrows, laser cutting, mental strikes, vine entanglement, and purple spherical lightning were simultaneously poured onto the Third Elder.

The water wall rose, turning into nothingness in an instant.

The Third Elder's face changed drastically as he put on a yellow robe to defend. The barrier rose and shattered instantly.

No one can survive the concentrated attack of so many Sovereigns, not even an eighth-level Sovereign.

The Third Elder was swallowed by thunder pillars in despair, cut to pieces by wind blades, pierced by arrows, his physical body turned into powder, and his primordial spirit was severely damaged. Every strand of remnant soul struggled to escape the concentrated fire, trying to escape.

"He he he..." A figure stopped him, not an enemy but the gloomy and sneering Pure Yang Headmaster.

He seemed to have been waiting for a long time. The Third Elder's primordial spirit immediately rushed up as soon as it left the body.

"You..." The Third Elder felt the Pure Yang Headmaster's malice.

"Your primordial spirit has been severely damaged, and your physical body has been destroyed. Even if you survive, your strength will be greatly damaged. Yuan Shi Tian Zun will not let you go if you survive. In that case, why not fulfill me? I will avenge you."

Black viscous energy surged from the Pure Yang Headmaster's eye sockets, and he opened his mouth and sucked, swallowing the Third Elder's remnant soul.

Zhang Yuanqing did not immediately chase after the Third Elder's remnant soul, because he chose to protect the spoils of war, he chose that drum.
