The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 99 What does it mean when a mountain comes crashing down on us?
That demon was a ferocious beast that had become a spirit, with a body full of savage flesh and immense strength.

Relying on his claws and physique, he lorded it over a region. But when he clashed with that dark knife, he only felt a slight numbness in his hand for a moment, and then his proud claws broke.

The bloodied claws flew out, leaving a tragic trail in the monster's eyes.

The monster's eyes glazed over.

???

He felt like he was back in his childhood, when he accidentally went too far while playing and bumped his head on a mountain, and then his mother came to take care of him.

Is it an illusion?

It's not an illusion.

Mother, someone is swinging a mountain at me.

boom! ! !
The blade cleaved, breaking the arm, and then the broken arm bone slammed heavily onto the monster's shoulder. The shoulder caved in, followed by a continuous surge of energy that shattered the monster's internal organs under immense pressure.

His ribs shattered one after another, and he knelt heavily on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The shockwave exploded, sending tables, chairs, and pots flying into the air before crashing to the ground, leaving a mess.

Zhou Yan gasped for breath.

With the knife pressed against the ground, the monster hadn't even finished uttering its grand ambitions before it fell into a deep, infant-like sleep. Zhou Yan nudged it with his toe, and the monster was now firmly dead, reverting to its original form.

Its true form is a wild beast with long black fur, but with faint golden stripes on its fur.

Zhou Yan felt that the golden patterns looked vaguely familiar.

But the guy who was killed by Zhou Yan with a single blow is not qualified to be included in the Jade Register.

This knife is indeed a treasure, sturdy and heavy. However, it has one drawback: to unleash its power, it requires the infusion of magical energy. Just now, a third of Zhou Yan's magical energy was depleted.

This was after he ate the Vermilion Fruit, which increased his maximum mana, making him basically equivalent to a Xuan Official like a [Sorcerer]. If it were a Beacon Tower, his mana bar would probably be almost empty by now. Zhou Yan put away his sword.

He rushed over and helped the old Taoist priest up. Zhou Yan was a beacon, skilled in attack and killing, but had no healing abilities. He could only take out some spiritual wine and feed the old Taoist a little. The external magic stimulated the old Taoist's own power, and he coughed twice and opened his eyes.

He shouted, "Who's there?"

"Don't touch my Green Lotus!"

The old man raised his hand to strike Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan dodged and grabbed the old man's wrist, saying, "Old Taoist priest, I am a human, not a monster." The Taoist priest was momentarily stunned before relaxing his grip.

The Xuan Guan and Xuan Guan lineages are different, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, the [Xun Ji] lineage can use various magical abilities to find clues and is not only able to track down hidden opponents, but is also good at finding rare and precious materials.

However, when it comes to fighting, these types of Xuan officials have no effective spells at all.

He could only rely on the physique and martial arts skills that Xuan Guan had cultivated himself.

Taoist officials are divided into many categories. For example, Taoist priests in the categories of "Xuan Tan" and "Ke Yi" must prepare in advance to open an altar, perform rituals, and summon people. Otherwise, Taoist officials below the sixth rank, without their personal guardian deities, will suffer greatly if attacked by martial artists.

Even the most powerful Taoist masters would be thrown to the ground by someone with an invincible physique.

However, a powerful Xuan Guan like Feng Sui could be ambushed by a Taoist Xuan Guan from a great distance.

Martial arts, profound knowledge, and magical treasures are three paths that can coexist without conflict.

When Shen Cangming taught Zhou Yan this, Zhou Yan immediately understood it.

To use the analogy of leveling up and allocating attribute points in a game, everyone advances at roughly the same level, and the attribute points at the same level are definitely similar. Some people allocate points to perception, while others allocate points to strength.

My lineage of Fengsui has a long health bar, fast health regeneration, and can deal damage, withstand attacks, and sustain itself!
Shorter blue stripes are cute, aren't they?

The old Taoist priest was clearly a cultivator of the Qi-eating, Xuantan or similar lineage. He had been ambushed at close range and had taken several pills. He asked urgently, "Young friend, have you seen a monster? That monster has some brute strength."

Zhou Yan said, "Here it is."

The old Taoist priest looked over and saw a limp, mangled pile of flesh lying there.

He pinched the bones.

She looked at Zhou Yan with surprise and uncertainty.

This doesn't look like someone who was stabbed to death.

It was as if this monster, blinded by greed, had revealed its true form and charged headlong into a mountain, killing itself in the process. Just then, Ao Xuantao's eyes flickered slightly: "Who goes there!"

With a flick of his sleeve, a wisp of water vapor shifted and transformed, protecting Zhou Yan and the old Taoist.

A ball of eerie flame shot towards them, only to be dispersed and vanished by the flow of water.

But then, a shadowy figure flashed by, grabbed the scattered lotus seeds, and ran off like a madman. The old Taoist grabbed Zhou Yan's shoulder and exclaimed, "Damn it! These filthy bastards won't even leave these scattered lotus seeds alone?!"

"Young friend, please move aside."

The Taoist priest picked up a whisk and was about to rush after him.

Zhou Yan asked, "What exactly is this Azure Lotus Wine? Why is it so important?"

The old Taoist replied, "That thing? Wine?" He saw the magic sword on Zhou Yan's back and exclaimed, "Did that old drunkard tell you about it? That bullshit Green Lotus Wine! His daughter was young and weak, and she almost lost her soul."

"Within that blue lotus lies the three souls and seven spirits of his daughter, Li Pingyang!"

"I finally managed to bring him back to life in this place where the God of Agriculture Houji left his Daoist temple. That old thing, cough cough cough... he fell into the trap himself, and then let you come instead. The monsters outside the mountain just think that this place was taken over by Qinglian."

Li Pingyang?
Why does this sound familiar?

The elder brother in the dream had taught and guided Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan said, "Elder Ao!" Ao Xuantao led the old Taoist, and Zhou Yan picked up his heavy sword and ran out. The monster seemed to be formed from something in the wind and was extremely fast.

The speed of the beacon tower officials is average.

Ao Xuantao could not summon the Jing River within the realm of the God of Agriculture. Zhou Yan circulated his magical power, which flowed into his eyes. Normally, one-tenth of his magical power was consumed to maintain his divine eyes.

As the colors around him faded, Zhou Yan could clearly see the monster fleeing with the lotus seeds. But despite seeing it, the monster was incredibly fast, speeding up as if its life depended on it, and gradually disappeared from Zhou Yan's sight.

Zhou Yan only regretted that his legs were too slow. If only Da Hei were here at this moment.

Big Black is extremely fast, and its only consumption is bean cakes.

Zhou Yan considered all the methods he could use to speed things up.

The [Lantern Shadow Jade Talisman]'s escape technique is combat-oriented, consuming mana and offering high speed, but its range is too short; the Mountain Lord Jade Talisman's wind manipulation is sufficient, but that's a Mountain Lord, not a tiger demon. To unleash the Mountain Lord's power, one needs a mountain range...

Wait, a mountain?!
Zhou Yan looked at the heavy sword at his waist.

Although it is called a sword, it has been in the Wuyin Peak area of ​​Zhongnan Mountain for several thousand years. When Zhou Yan saw that the monster was about to leave, he gripped the heavy sword. In his mind, the jade book was turned over and he came to the book of the Mountain Lord.

[Mountain King's Edict] —

Zhou Yan sensed the presence of the Mountain Lord within him. He felt the sword in his hand transform into a mountain, and he himself became part of that mountain.

The beacon towers could sense the earth's veins, so he connected the mountains with the earth's veins.

I am the peak when I reach the top of the mountain.

literal meaning.

Zhou Yan exhaled, his steps faltering. As he breathed, it was as if the surrounding gale was gathering beneath him. The next moment, the roar of a tiger and the howl of the wind resounded throughout the beach.

【wind】

"rise!"

And so the gale gathered beneath this body.

Zhou Yan moved with incredible speed, his feet barely touching the ground. The demon was still gloating, thinking that his lurking nearby and taking the opportunity to steal the treasure was indeed the best choice. The human was holding a knife, his moves were powerful and heavy, and he was definitely not good at tracking speed.

But suddenly he sensed something was wrong; a terrifying sense of oppression pressed down on his chest.

He looked back.

Seeing the raging wind sweep by, and the human wielding the heavy sword charging through the wind, my heart nearly stopped. I screamed and flew with all my might, crashing out of the riverbank and arriving at a mountain range, which turned out to be another entrance.

In front of the cave, an old monk with a bitter face said:

"Esteemed demon benefactors, please return the old monk's white lotus to me."

"That lotus flower is really of great use to me."

"Or you could eat my flesh and give me the food in return?"

A burly man at the cave entrance cursed, "Bullshit! If the old monk's flesh is hard to eat, I should eat that Zhou Yan instead."

"Eating it can nourish yin and yang, and restore male virility."

"His magical power greatly increased, and his lifespan was extended by a hundred years."

The old monk stared in disbelief, then understood. He clasped his hands together and muttered, "Amitabha. If you're not feeling well, this old monk has a few secret prescriptions here. Oh dear, how can you eat people? Just take some medicine."

The demon roared in fury: "You're the one who's no good!"

The old monk stammered:

"I'm a monk, so it doesn't matter if that thing doesn't work."

Enraged, the monster brandished its spiked club and roared, "You old fool who deserves to die without heirs, what are you babbling about?!"

The old monk said happily, "Of course I am destined to have no descendants."

The demon was so enraged that the Three Corpse Gods jumped up and down, only to see the demon he had sent fly back, shouting, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! A young Taoist priest wielding a mountain and an old Taoist priest are coming to kill us together."

The demon saw Zhou Yan, who was surrounded by a whirlwind, and said:

"Give me back the Green Lotus!"

The demon grabbed Qinglianzi and said, "These two lotus flowers are what the Buddha Mother wanted. You two monks and Taoists, just consider it an offering to the Buddha Mother. What's wrong with that?!"

Just as the old monk was about to say something more...

Zhou Yan said, "You're talking nonsense!"

The old monk was filled with awe and respect.

The demon asked the little demon, "How is my third brother?" The little demon transformed into his true form, a small bird, and said, "After the Third Commander captured that old Taoist priest, he was harmed by this kid."

"The three commanders died tragically!"

"They died in clumps."

Enraged, the monster leaped down from the cave, wielding a spiked club, and swung it at Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan, holding a broadsword, fought the monster for over a dozen rounds, but the monster's magical power was far greater than Zhou Yan's.

But after playing for so long, my hands felt numb.

It was as if the spiked club in his hand wasn't being used to fight a single person, but rather swung around and struck the mountainside. Zhou Yan felt his internal organs being violently shaken, but as he stood on the ground, the Beacon Fire's properties were slowly and continuously restoring his energy.

But it was still a battle, and Zhou Yan switched to the Mountain Lord Jade Talisman. His magic power couldn't maintain Zhu Zicheng's transformation technique, and he reverted to his youthful appearance. The monster was stunned, then overjoyed: "Hahaha, so that's how it is."

"It's so easy to get you. We'll capture you and send you to the Reclining Buddha Temple."

"The Buddha Mother will surely be delighted and bestow upon me a Golden Cicada Elixir! Hahaha, my magical power will greatly increase today!"

The old monk stared in disbelief: "Your Buddha Mother also needs to nourish yin and replenish yang?"

The monster was overjoyed and cursed, "You bald monk, shut your mouth!"

"Men, come out and surround this brat and devour him!"

A large group of lesser demons emerged from the mountains, each looking human and wielding steel forks and swords, rushing towards Zhou Yan. The demon's body swayed, revealing its true form: a huge green rhinoceros. Ao Xuantao abandoned the Taoist priest, and with a sway, transformed into a hundred-zhang-long python.

Its scales spun on the ground, it raised its head and hissed, and lunged at the demons.

"How dare you harm my young master?"

Some monsters, along with the rhinoceros demon, rushed towards Zhou Yan. This was not the Jing River, and the serpent was not good at land combat. The rhinoceros demon broke free, lowered its head, pointed its rhinoceros horn at Zhou Yan, and ran away wildly.

"Hahaha, now that you've come, I must treat you with the utmost courtesy."

"Reveal your true nature!"

"Then I will have no choice but to reveal my true nature."

Zhou Yan gripped the sword with both hands, and this time, he poured all his magical power into it.

"big big big!"

boom! ! !
The blade suddenly grew larger, and then larger still. Zhou Yan couldn't bear such weight, but the beacon tower allowed him to connect with the earth's veins. Holding the blade, Zhou Yan felt like a part of the mountain in that instant.

Then, wrap your arms around the hilt of the knife by about one-third of its length and swing it hard.

What is its true nature, and what is its mechanism?
Let's talk about the numbers!

The rhinoceros, charging forward headlong with the intention of goring Zhou Yan to death with its horns, was curious about Zhou Yan's true nature.

Then I saw a mountain swinging towards me.

Ok? ? ?
