Chapter 820: Gaining New Strong Helps

King Bai Shan was hammered to death by Catfish. Not far away from her, Lei Meng suddenly gave a grim laugh and said, “After chasing me for so long, this fella must have forgotten that he is in my territory!”

The sheer weight of Catfish’s hammer and the speed of her swings were not the only factors contributed to King Bai Shan’s death. Lei Meng had played a major role too. Princess Zhang Le had controlled the curse that was affecting him, allowing him to regain some of his strength. Immediately after that, he summoned the lightning in the surroundings and produced an invisible chain, which he used to restrain King Bai Shan. That was why King Bai Shan stood there like an idiot and took all the blows without even trying to dodge.

Even though King Bai Shan had tempered his body to such a powerful level, he could not withstand Catfish’s continuous attacks after all. As a result, not only was his head smashed to pieces, but his body was devoured by Catfish. It was a tragic death for someone with such a lofty status.

Slapping contentedly on her stomach, Catfish shot a look at the two Supreme Oracles and bellowed, “You two are bad guys too!” A loud whistle rang out as she spun her hammer and zoomed across the void, then lifted it high up and brought it down toward one of them.

The Oracle gave a cold snort. One of the bone altars beside him suddenly flew up, and the lamps made of baby’s skulls hovered atop it radiated rays of bright green light, all shining on Catfish. Her skins where the light touched began to bubble and rot, while threads of invisible venom rushed crazily into her body. Fortunately, her flesh was extremely tough, and her magic power and divine abilities were out of ordinary. No sooner had the venoms entered her than streams of black water gushed out from where her skins were rotting. A deafening rumble rose as the black water rolled and rocked, turning into countless water arrows and shooting toward the Oracle.

The venoms in her body poured out with the water as well, causing the arrows to emanate a foul smell. As they pierced through the air, the void became extremely weak, corroded by the venom, and was riddled with tiny holes as the waves went past.

Both Oracles screamed in unison. They stood back to back with nine altars wheeled rapidly around them, and were protected behind a green screen of light. “Now that King Bai Shan is dead, why should we risk our lives fighting against each other?” cried one of the Oracles. “Wouldn’t it be nice to let the feud between us end now and here? In the future, if you need any help in the Directorate of Celestial, we can do our best to help you!”

Wu Qi snorted coldly. He looked at those ghostly shadows who he could not kill with Blood Centipede Swords, and said indifferently, “Oh? You don’t want to fight anymore?”

The towering waves unleashed by Catfish smashed onto the green screen of light, one after another; the biting cold water produced numerous whirlpools which began to grind at the defensive barrier. The light screen wobbled and swayed violently, and the Oracles’ faces turned unsightly. The one who spoke just now said again in a hurry, “Yes! Even though our clans have served King Bai Shan’s clan for generations, it’s completely unnecessary for us to die for him!”

“Now you’re saying you don’t want to fight?” growled Lei Meng as soon as he teleported over, his face glum, “Do you think this is just a game? Let me tell you, your flesh and blood and soul are all mine! Even though there is not much oil in your bones, and the strength of your souls is only about the same as an ordinary mortal, I’ll still chew you both up in small bites!”

The shadows transformed from human skins were still causing trouble across his body. Princess Zhang Le had been working very hard to remove the curse, but she could only slowly extract and dismiss the monstrous evil power contained in them. Lei Meng’s body flickered violently, with jets of plasma spewing out of it every now and then. These shadows had made him suffer terribly for the last two days. Although he was here in his true form, he could barely withstand their evil and dreadful power, and they had even devoured a little bit of his energy essence. It made him burned with anger.

With a malicious smile on his face, Wu Qi spread out his arms helplessly and said to the two Supreme Oracles, “Look, there’s nothing I can do about this. Lei Meng won’t let you go, so…”

The Oracles laughed coldly at the same time, and then one of them snapped, “Are you sure you can kill us?”

Suddenly, two black Supreme Towers flew out from their foreheads and swelled to about a few miles high, hovering over everyone. In the next moment, the Oracles shrieked in unison, and from the bottom of the towers came shooting out dozens of green light beams, all shining on the nine bone altars. An immense evil aura began to spread out as countless ghosts bolted out of their bodies, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they swooped down toward Wu Qi and others.

These ghosts were the same strange things that Wu Qi could not kill with Blood Centipede Sword. In fact, they were not ghosts, but evil spirits of the Yellow Spring bred by these Supreme Oracles with their own blood essence and souls. The sword was extremely sharp, and even contained a thread of innate killing intent, which gave it the ability to slay all corporeal beings, but these evil spirits were dead things whose life force were hidden in the Yellow Spring. Unless the Yellow Spring dried up completely, they were very difficult to be killed.

Wu Qi’s current cultivation base was strong, but he did not have the ability to dry up the whole Yellow Spring.

He could easily release these evil spirits from purgatory, though, if he were to use the divine ability of the Buddhism League. There was always one thing to suppress another. But he was reluctant to expose all his trump cards in front of Lei Meng. He had other use for his avatar of the Buddha in mind, and he did not want to make it known to all.

Seeing the countless ghosts were leaping toward him, Wu Qi cried out immediately, “Lei Meng, dismiss your world! I have a way to deal with them!” Upon hearing that, the fiend god opened his mouth and drew a breath. All the countless bolts of lightning within ten thousand miles flew over and went into his mouth, and in just a flash the small world crumbled and disintegrated.

Wu Qi lifted his right hand and gave it a wave. “Fiend Slaying Sword Formation, rise!”

Three hundred and sixty Kunwu Swords flashed in the sky, and then an immense stream of starlight came pouring down as if the curtain of heaven had fallen, while countless huge stars emerged and suspended less than a thousand feet over everyone. Immediately after that, the swords flashed again, but this time in the depths of the earth beneath their feet, separated by a layer of rock that was hundreds of miles thick. Suddenly, plumes of natural energy sprayed out across the ground, condensed into a mass of mighty sword energy and swept out in all directions, before forming into numerous mountains of blades and forests of swords all over the place.

Afterward, the swords flashed around the crowd once again. Stimulated by them, the energies of five elements transformed into invisible vortexes and wrapped up the two Supreme Oracles, whose faces had turned pale with fear. There were only three to five people in the world knew that Wu Qi was given Kunwu Swords and Xuanyuan’s legacy of sword formation, but the reputation of Fiend Slaying Sword Formation was known to all mankind.

As soon as they realized that Wu Qi was using the legendary Fiend Slaying Sword Formation to trap and kill them, the two Supreme Oracles trembled with fear and fell to their knees almost instinctively. “Please forgive us, King of Dong Hai Province! We didn’t know you are the Sacred Emperor’s disciple! We swear allegiance to you, and we’ll do anything as you bid in the future!”

Wu Qi considered for a moment. “Even if I accept your service, I’ll only have two more Supreme Oracles,” he said, shaking his head, “but if I kill you in exchange for virtues, I’ll have several more people around me who are equal in overall strength to you. And they are so much more reliable than you two!”

The two Supreme Oracles were entangled in evil karma. Fires of retribution could be seen towering from their bodies into the sky. Evidently, the evil deeds they had committed were thousands of times more serious than that of Catfish. Wu Qi wondered how many people had they sacrificed over the years. If he killed them in exchange of virtues, he could at least make several people around him step into the realm of Primordial. Naturally, Wu Qi was more willing to trust his own people than either of them.

The sword formation shrunk inwardly. Two shrill curses could be heard as the starlight in the sky shifted and flickered. Wu Qi had covered the area of a hundred miles across with Dark Yin Celestial Tower and accelerated the time.

A day later, Lei Meng had reached the limit of his time in this world. Helpless, he was expelled by the Heavenly Dao.

Wu Qi took over control of the sword formation. Plumes of Pangu Sacred Energy jetted out from all over him, and the three-hundred-and-sixty Kunwu Swords glowed brilliantly. The true power of Fiend Slaying Sword Formation was finally revealed. It was now at least tens of thousands of time stronger, compared to when it was under Patriarch Jiang Yun and others’ control.

As Gold Immortals, Patriarch Jiang Yun and others simply did not have the ability to control Kunwu Swords. They were just relying on the thread of Pangu Sacred Energy Wu Qi had left in the swords to lay out the formation. Only Wu Qi himself could control it. After all, the swords were the supreme treasures of the human race the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, had crafted, and if any immortal dared to send his or her immortal energy into the swords, he or she would be hacked to death instantly!

In the formation, Wu Qi spent three years to break down the defenses of the two Supreme Towers, and then suppressed the two Supreme Oracles by force.

Actually, the two Supreme Oracles’ cultivation bases were far inferior to Wu Qi, and the Supreme Towers they used were no match for Kunwu Swords. If Wu Qi just wanted to kill them, all he needed to do was have the swords rained down at the same time. But because he was trying to suppress them, he had to slowly drain their magic power.

Shortly afterward, two exhausted Supreme Oracles, who no longer had the ability to resist, were brought out. At Wu Qi’s order, Ao Buzun, Lord Xiansheng, Supremacy Three Flame, Patriarch Jiang Yun, Patriarch Qing Xin, and Lu Chengfeng chopped the two poor fellas into two balls of meat paste.

As both of them had committed all kinds of evil while working for King Bai Shan, as soon as they were killed, the Heavenly Dao immediately sent down immense virtue to those who had killed them.

With the virtues, Ao Buzun and the other five immediately stepped into the realm of Primordial.

Wu Qi could clearly see that of the six, the hardest one to step into this realm was Lu Chengfeng, and the easiest one was Ao Buzun. The black dragon had transformed almost immediately when the virtues entered his body; his big black dragon head was gone as he stepped into the realm of Primordial smoothly, becoming a handsome middle-aged man with incomparable majestic facial features.

Up in the sky, tribulation clouds were gradually gathering. Without hesitation, Wu Qi exercised Myriad Harmonization Grand Magic and began to devour them.

Ao Buzun gazed up at the tribulation clouds, then produced a mirror and looked into it at his own reflection. After immersing in his own image for a long while, he gave a deep sigh and said, “To all the beautiful girls under heaven: I don’t care what race are you from, just you wait! Your most beloved man is back! YES! The spear between my legs is going to make blood flow once again!!”

Patriarch Jiang Yun and others were no jerks like Ao Buzun. While sensing their transformation, they bowed deeply to Wu Qi.

Wu Qi nodded and smiled at them as he devoured the tribulation clouds, while Ao Buzun kept shouting and moving his lower body back and forth. No one knew what he was excited about.
