My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1069 Things are changing

The Wen Rui who emerged from the spatial gate was not an incarnation of divine power; with Yun Zhongzi's cultivation, he could discern this at a glance.

He immediately realized that he had been tricked by the seemingly honest Zhao Mingcheng. Zhao Mingcheng had lowered his guard because of Zhao Mingcheng's feigned kindness, and had led him away from the Zhongnan Secret Realm. Zhao Mingcheng had seized the fleeting opportunity to recite prayers as a believer and communicate with the god he devoutly believed in, and had directly summoned Wen Rui's true form to this place across thousands of miles of space.

I was so wrong about you!

Yun Zhongzi glared at Zhao Mingcheng, half angry and half regretful, and shouted, "Do you know what you've missed? You had the chance to embark on the righteous path of immortality, save all living beings, and be revered by millions of people for eternity!"

"You betrayed me to curry favor with your master. Even if you receive temporary rewards, you will not escape calamity when the Three Realms are destroyed!"

"I even considered taking you as my last disciple, you treacherous villain who appears loyal but is actually wicked! I knew you were in cahoots with Wen Rui; your heart has long been corrupted!"

Unable to contain his anger any longer, Yun Zhongzi raised his palm and struck out. However, despite Zhao Mingcheng being so close and powerless to resist due to his low cultivation level, the powerful and furious strike missed its mark.

The slap, imbued with the power of thunder, grazed Zhao Mingcheng's clothes before strangely tracing an incomprehensible curve, circling around and inexplicably landing on Yun Zhongzi's own face.

This palm strike was incredibly powerful, showing no mercy whatsoever. It was originally a deadly blow that Yun Zhongzi was determined to deliver by killing the traitor, but in the end, 100% of its power was applied to himself, and he was seriously injured.

Even with his Golden Immortal body, he was left dizzy and disoriented from the blows. His body spun rapidly in place like a top, creating a small tornado of air currents.

Even a full-force attack from a peak Golden Immortal could not cause a fatal injury to the Golden Immortal's indestructible body. Yun Zhongzi barely managed to stabilize himself, dissipate the force, and stop spinning. However, he dared not rashly attack Zhao Mingcheng, who was still standing nearby and had not yet managed to escape.

Obviously, the strange thing that happened so suddenly, and it was not a coincidence, nor could it be that he was just angry and confused.

The answer is obvious: it was undoubtedly the Creator Heavenly Venerable Wen Rui who secretly used some mysterious creation technique to protect Zhao Mingcheng, who was equivalent to his direct disciple.

Even though Yun Zhongzi possessed immense magical power and was only half a step away from entering the Hunyuan realm, with Wen Rui present, he couldn't even scratch a hair on the head of a mortal cultivator who hadn't even reached the Immortal rank.

"Master... Uncle, please, please calm down. If you have any complaints, come at me. Don't, don't make things difficult for the junior."

Wen Rui stammered, his speech slightly slurred, which was quite different from when he last met Yun Zhongzi.

The situation is beyond one's control. Yun Zhongzi had just suffered a great loss a month ago. Little did he know that Wen Rui's Daoist methods were profound and unpredictable. Even if he just randomly took out a martial arts puppet, he would have a very difficult time dealing with it.

Even with his vast knowledge and millennia of combat experience, Yun Zhongzi couldn't figure out how the man had inexplicably slapped himself.

Wen Rui's true form exudes an eerie aura, appearing clumsy, slow, and even unable to speak fluently. It seems that even a simple action like taking a step is extremely difficult for him to complete smoothly.

However, within Yun Zhongzi's sea of ​​consciousness, the Heavenly Dao continuously sent down omens of danger, as if before him lay an ancient ferocious beast cloaked in human skin, the king of extraterrestrial demons, an indescribable and terrifying being.

Even for a peak Golden Immortal, a high-level life form, getting close to Wen Rui is like a blind man standing on the edge of an abyss, as if he is about to face an unknown and enormous danger, and one wrong step will lead to eternal damnation.

In his ten thousand years of immortality, Yun Zhongzi had only experienced this feeling a handful of times. One time was during the Great Calamity of the Lich Kings, when the twelve Ancestral Witches combined to create the phantom of Pangu and cleaved towards the Zhou Tian Star Array.

At that time, Yun Zhongzi had only recently ascended to immortality and his cultivation was still shallow. When he witnessed the battle between the supreme beings of the ancient primordial world, he could only hide aside and tremble with fear, afraid that they would smash the primordial land to pieces.

Another instance was when the Tongtian Sect Leader set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and the immortals of the Chan Sect intended to break the formation.

Standing outside the Zhuxian Sword Formation, watching the chaotic sword energy flying crisscrossing within, Yun Zhongzi dared not cross the line, knowing full well that with his cultivation level, once he stepped into the Zhuxian Sword Formation, he would be instantly killed by the chaotic sword energy.

The unknown power emanating from Wen Rui at this moment gave Yun Zhongzi the same feeling as when facing the Heavenly Divine Fiend Formation and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but recall the past, when he was at his most triumphant, when he killed Wen Zhong, the one destined to face the tribulation of the Jie Sect, and won the most crucial battle in the Investiture of the Gods.

On his way back to the Zhou army camp, Yun Zhongzi encountered Wen Rui, who was leading his remaining troops in a hasty retreat.

At that time, Wen Rui was just an ordinary mortal. Even a sneeze from Yun Zhongzi could kill him. When Yun Zhongzi blocked Wen Rui's way, Wen Rui's terrified eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.

After killing Wen Zhong, Yun Zhongzi was in high spirits and arrogant. He disdained to kill Wen Zhong's wicked son. He enjoyed the ugly scene for a while and then let him escape, without considering him a threat.

Time has passed, and now, when facing Wen Rui again, the other party doesn't even need to move a finger to suppress Yun Zhongzi, who doesn't dare to move at all. The power and status have been completely reversed.

"I was outmaneuvered and fell into your hands; I have nothing to say about that."

Yun Zhongzi sighed and said in a hoarse voice, "I suppose you know all about my plan. So what are we waiting for? Kill me to silence me... No, even if you kill me, you won't allow my soul to escape and reveal your secret, so just annihilate me body and soul!"

Having reached the realm of immortals, there is often no need for much talk. The supernatural ability to "calculate with a flick of the finger" is not a unique skill of Yun Zhongzi, but a common skill of all immortals.

The accuracy of predictions made by the "divination with fingers" ability increases with the completeness of the information already available.

As a devout believer, Zhao Mingcheng's spirit communicates deeply with the deity he worships in the instant he prays and summons the deity, and his thoughts and ideas are immediately known to the deity.

Everything Yun Zhongzi and Zhao Mingcheng had just said could be compressed and transmitted at high speed to Wen Rui with a single thought, allowing Wen Rui to know instantly.

Combined with the "calculation by the fingers" supernatural power, Wen Rui had now seen through Yun Zhongzi's every move, and all his plans were exposed.

This moment is just like that moment.

However, the balance of power between the two sides has been completely reversed. Yun Zhongzi is certain that Wen Rui will not let him off the hook as he did back then, and will definitely kill him to silence him and eliminate any future troubles.
