"Snatch it from foreign psychics?" Yuan Ji was taken aback. "I hadn't thought of a method from that angle, but it sounds like it might work."
"Even if it works, you have to find the right target. The biggest challenge of this method is finding the right people."
"Something is better than nothing; at least we have a way to break the deadlock."
Yuan Ji thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's focus on the present. If we want to invite someone out, we have to bring a gift first."
She directed her newly recruited vengeful spirits to lift her body, which had sunk to the bottom of the river, and transport it to a spot in the middle of the riverbanks before sinking it again.
Moments later, dozens of water columns, each ten feet high, suddenly burst open on the river surface. Golden scales and dragon horns pierced the river surface, and a classic oriental dragon, a hundred meters long, emerged from the water, coiling on the crest of the wave. Countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals appeared, waving flags and shouting beside the dragon's body.
"Mortal, do you know the consequences of offending the dragon's might?"
The dragon's roar shook the stone pagoda on the riverbank, causing dust to fall. The Qiantang Dragon King lightly waved his claws, and three water tornadoes came in a triangular formation to strangle the dragon.
"It really is designed like an NPC. There's no room for conversation; once the conditions are triggered, the battle begins immediately."
This was the first time Tang Ping had ever seen a level 3 demon, and he was particularly captivated by its imposing appearance.
"Clouds follow the dragon? Too bad today they've met a tiger in the way!"
Yuan Jian's lips curled slightly, and the tip of his halberd drew a mysterious trajectory in the air. Azure wind blades surged from the tip of the halberd, actually severing the water tornado in half. Before the water droplets could even land, they were already swept up by the hurricane and shot towards the Dragon Palace army like a torrential rain.
"Roar--"
The Dragon King opened his mouth and spewed out a crimson dragon breath, but Yuan Ji easily dodged it. The latter leaped lightly on the water's surface like a sprite, as if she were the flying creature. In the blink of an eye, she had already approached the Dragon King. The halberd blade ignored the dragon's scales and cut a long gash, with blood splattering everywhere.
Compared to its enormous body, this wound was nothing, but it still enraged the Dragon King, who immediately swung his body and launched an attack using his powerful dragon form.
Its sharp claws and teeth easily cleaved through the river, and with a casual flick of its tail, it unleashed immense power and surging waves. Any slight graze from any part of the dragon would result in either death or serious injury.
But Yuan Ji, relying on his irrational fighting instincts, maneuvered and dodged on the water, even managing to leave four long wounds on the dragon's body.
Tang Ping, who was watching from the sidelines, clenched her fists, her face full of worry, as if she might rush in to save someone at any moment.
He wasn't genuinely worried; he was just putting on a show for others. After all, he had personally experienced Yuan Ji's combat intuition. That thing was like having a cheat code, turning real-time combat into a QTE game. In terms of effect, it was no less than a second-tier psionic ability. Unless you encountered an all-around attack that you couldn't dodge no matter what, you could always know the evasion route in advance.
Yuan Ji appeared to be dancing on the edge of a knife, extremely dangerous, but in reality, he walked on flat ground, as steady as an old dog.
After a brief close-quarters battle, the Dragon King of Qiantang suffered dozens more wounds. Perhaps his "health" had dropped to a certain threshold, for he finally realized he could not continue fighting. He immediately flew into the sky to create distance and ordered his shrimp soldiers and crab generals to launch an attack.
"Can you escape?"
Yuan Ji chuckled, and a strange whirlpool suddenly appeared on the river surface. Thirteen yaksha demons burst out of the water and blocked the shrimp soldiers and crab generals. The leader of the yakshas even brandished his iron fork and flew upwards, aiming straight for the Dragon King's eyes.
"Disloyal and unjust scoundrels!"
The Dragon King was furious and lashed out with his tail, shattering it into pieces, which turned into dissipating ghostly energy.
But this delay gave Yuan Ji an opportunity. The phantom of Tiger Vanguard appeared behind him, and he let out a deafening tiger roar. A hurricane swirled around him, shooting straight into the sky like a sharp arrow.
The Dragon King had no time to dodge and was pierced by the halberd. Before he could twist his body to shake off the enemy, he felt countless sharp blades pierce into his wound and rampage through his body, causing him to let out a miserable howl.
Seeing this, Tang Ping said thoughtfully, "It seems that it has caused considerable damage, but the huge difference in size means that this attack is not fatal. If she wants to defeat the Qiantang Dragon King, she will have to fight for at least half an hour and continuously bleed him to have any hope. When dealing with large monsters, Captain Lingchong's Dharma form is more effective."
At that moment, a slight vibration came from his palm; it was the spiritual energy receiver that Yuan Ji had secretly given him earlier.
He immediately shouted loudly towards the river, "Yuan Ji, it's time to make your move!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ji, who was in the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly swung his halberd at the Dragon King's forehead. Although the Dragon King dodged in time, one of his whiskers was still severed.
This attack was not very damaging, but extremely insulting.
The Dragon King of Qiantang was in pain and fury. He could no longer bear it. He raised his head and let out a dragon roar. His demonic power exploded, blasting away all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals. He also stirred up the river water to form nine water dragons the same size as himself, which rushed towards Yuan Ji to kill him.
This time, Yuan Ji stopped playing the extreme dodging game and turned to flee, leading the nine water dragons towards the reeds on the shore.
The powerful water jets plowed through the mudflats, sending countless clods of earth flying into the air. At the same time, several figures darted out of the reeds in a panic.
"Oh no, she's found us!"
Chapter Seventy-Six: The Tiger Unleashes its Power
There were five people lying in ambush in the reeds. They were not crouching inside to use the reeds to cover themselves—that would have been discovered by Yuan Ji long ago—but were hiding in the mud.
The five originally planned to wait until Yuan Ji and the Dragon King of Qiantang were both severely injured, or one side won a Pyrrhic victory, before coming out to reap the benefits. They never expected that Yuan Ji would use the Dragon King of Qiantang's ultimate move to ambush them.
The Dragon King of Qiantang unleashed a furious attack, his nine water dragons possessing immense power, capable of breaching even a dam. The five dared not confront him head-on, and given the suddenness of the attack, they had no time to discuss how to cooperate. They could only scatter like birds and beasts, each fleeing in different directions.
Yuan Ji seized the opportunity, caught up with one of the men, and with a swift motion, swung his halberd down, aiming for his neck.
The opponent instinctively sensed the danger, activated its spiritual energy, and its body instantly transformed into silicon, becoming as solid as a rock.
However, Yuan Ji's halberd was also a magical weapon. Driven by divine power, it could cut through iron like mud and was almost unstoppable. With one halberd, he severed the head, then circled around to the front of the corpse and kicked it with all his might, sending the headless corpse flying towards the water dragon chasing behind. At the same time, he struck out with one palm, imbuing the corpse with a dragon whirlwind. With a "boom", the corpse crashed into the water dragon and exploded.
Water splashed everywhere like a downpour, obstructing visibility. Yuan Ji seized the opportunity to rush towards another person.
However, thanks to the unfortunate fellow in front of him who bought him time, this person finally had time to react. The spirit behind him manifested, revealing a general in armor who summoned a long spear that barely blocked the Azure Dragon Halberd.
"pioneer?"
Yuan Ji was taken aback at first, then revealed a contemptuous smile: "Who gave you the guts to challenge me to a martial arts contest!"
She wielded her halberd with one arm, unleashing thirty-six strikes in one breath, the halberd shadows overlapping like surging waves.
The vanguard Lingge's assassins fought with all their might, but they were outmatched in both strength and skill. Within seconds, they were unable to hold on and suddenly felt a sharp pain as their left shoulder was pierced by a halberd.
Yuan Ji showed no mercy, and with a swift twist of his halberd, the assassin's left shoulder exploded with a "bang," and his left arm was severed from his body amidst splattering blood and flesh, falling into the mud downwind.
"what--"
The assassin could not bear the excruciating pain and screamed in agony.
Just as Yuan Ji was about to swing her halberd to behead the other person and repeat her previous action, she suddenly felt a warning and stopped in time to dodge to the side. She saw a bunch of thick, hard tree branches pass right through her original spot.
She turned her head and saw a female assassin who had entered a state of spiritual resonance. Not only had her skin turned into wrinkled tree bark, but her feet had also turned into tree roots, and her hands had turned into vines, making her look quite creepy.
The female assassin swung her vines to pull the vanguard assassin to her side, activated her healing spell to stop the bleeding, and retrieved the severed arm, intending to reattach it. However, she soon discovered that some of the flesh and bone at the wound had been shredded into fragments, scattered across the mud below, mixed together in a mess, and could not be found at all.
To reattach limbs, flesh and blood must regenerate first, and this highly complex treatment cannot be completed while fighting.
The female assassin's face darkened. "You did this on purpose?"
Yuan Ji didn't bother to answer such a stupid question, and curiously examined it, saying, "A wood spirit type is quite rare."
She was too lazy to communicate with the enemy, or rather, she believed that it would be more efficient to communicate with them after capturing them, and immediately charged forward with her halberd.
Having witnessed Yuan Ji severely injure his companion in just a few moves, the female assassin dared not let him get close. She hurriedly summoned a swarm of winding tree branches to hold him back, while warning, "My companion has already gone to capture Tang Ping. Are you sure you're okay with wasting your time here?"
As Yuan Ji swung his halberd to shatter tree branches, he said, "We discovered you a long time ago. The reason we didn't act immediately was simply because we felt it would be difficult for the two of us to capture you all. If we failed to capture you all and one or two escaped, it would cause trouble later. So I continued with the original plan to buy time and make it easier for reinforcements to arrive."
"You discovered us a long time ago? That's impossible!"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Besides, even if reinforcements don't come, it will still be difficult for you to capture Tang Ping with your strength."
"Why make a show of force? Do you think we haven't investigated? His spirit is a non-combat fox spirit, so capturing him is no problem at all."
Yuan Ji was too lazy to communicate anymore. He spread his five fingers, and a violent airflow formed a wind blade array that howled out and cut through the tree branches. At the same time, spiritual power condensed into wings on his back, and he took advantage of the momentum to charge in.
The female assassin frantically swung her vines, spraying out a large amount of colorful pollen. Even a small amount of pollen could cause an elephant to suffer a nervous paralysis.
However, Yuan Ji was surrounded by a layer of airflow, which blew away the pollen before it even came into contact with him, allowing the Azure Dragon Halberd to strike directly at his vital points.
clang!
The one-armed vanguard abandoned his spear and used his sword to intercept Yuan Ji's attack in time. However, having lost an arm, he lacked strength and could not perform at his normal level. He was unable to stop the attack and only slightly shifted the angle of the Azure Dragon Halberd. The halberd, which was originally aimed at the female assassin's heart, ended up only piercing her arm.
"Get back quickly!"
Upon seeing this, the vanguard quickly shouted a warning to his companion.
"late!"
Yuan Ji used the same trick again, twisting his hand holding the halberd, causing the blade to spin rapidly, and with a "bang," he twisted the female assassin's arm into a shower of wood chips.
She pressed her advantage relentlessly, sweeping her halberd to cut the female assassin in half at the waist. But then the vanguard man shouted and swung his sword at her, unleashing a burst of energy. Forced to parry, she had no choice but to retract her halberd and was knocked back several feet by the force.
The vanguard man anxiously asked his companion, "Are you alright? Can you still fight?"
He had already lost an arm, and his companion was also incapacitated. Even if the two of them fought together, they would not be a match for Yuan Ji. It would be better for them to split up and escape, and perhaps one of them could escape alive.
Sensing the other's fear, the female assassin quickly said, "Fortunately, I entered a state of spiritual resonance. This kind of injury is nothing to a tree."
As she spoke, her wound began to wriggle, and five vines grew back.
"Fortunately, with you and me joining forces, we still have a fighting chance."
The vanguard abandoned the idea of running away, not because he was particularly brave, but because he had lost an arm, which would inevitably affect his movements. If the two of them ran away separately, Yuan Ji was more likely to catch up with him.
"The strength to fight? I really don't know where your courage comes from."
Yuan Ji chuckled and engaged the two in battle with her halberd. Intending to capture them alive, she held back some of her strength and changed her fighting style to focus on entanglement.
On the river, the Qiantang Dragon King, who found himself suddenly an outsider, observed for a while. Perhaps he decided it was better not to interfere in the internal strife of humans, or perhaps he suspected that humans were putting on an act to trick him into leaving the river, or perhaps he was limited by his own self-imposed limitations. After annihilating all the Yaksha and his accomplices, he led his shrimp soldiers and crab generals back to the bottom of the river.
Chapter 77 Being Targeted Again
When Tang Ping was forcibly dragged into the Illusionary Realm by Yuan Ji, she guessed that the other party wanted to prove his skills by defeating a powerful monster. So she used "Three-Eyed Spirit" to see which monster the other party had chosen as his prey.
As a result, the monster didn't see anything, but it did see five character entries emerge from the reeds, which were quite eye-catching.
In a flash, he devised a plan in his mind. The two of them would pretend not to know and continue to slay the demons, while Yuan Ji, while preserving his own strength, would try to buy as much time as possible and try to contact the Spiritual Energy Administration Bureau to request that they send people over as soon as possible to wipe out these cult members who intended to take revenge.
Perhaps because they didn't see the people directly, the Three-Eyed Spiritual Radiance didn't provide a spiritual energy analysis of the five individuals. Instead, like identifying ordinary people, it only provided their names, spiritual attributes, and simple identity information.
It contains a limited amount of information, but it does contain important content.
For example, these five people are not followers of the Church of the Spiritualist, nor are they members of the Society for the Study of Evolutionary Spiritualism, but rather members of the New Territories Alliance.
If Tang Ping hadn't gained even greater control over her body's reactions after becoming a fox demon, she probably would have given herself away on the spot.
What have I done to deserve being targeted by three major cult organizations at the same time!
I didn't do anything!
All I did was make a game and become a celebrity. I didn't have any extraordinary encounters that made me envious of rare treasures, nor did I fall off a cliff and learn unparalleled martial arts. So why was I targeted?
Tang Ping couldn't think of anything about himself that would make three world-renowned cults covet him, except perhaps the Three-Eyed Spirit.
But he had kept this a secret all along, and even the Psionic Administration was unaware of it. How did an external organization find out?
Even if the other party relied on some strange psychic abilities, such as prophecy, to learn his secrets, they should have been more careful and targeted his abilities when sending people to capture him, instead of like these five guys hiding in the reeds—where did they get the confidence to deceive the Three-Eyed Spirit?
Vanguard, Tree Spirit, Stone Spirit, Spirit Beast Dream Eater, Constable.
These are the spirit attributes of the five individuals. Although their names don't suggest they possess the ability to hear things from afar, Tang Ping, just in case, didn't choose to tell Yuan Ji directly. Instead, she first praised the other party's appearance and then, under the guise of writing a poem, wrote down her discovery and her plan to deal with it.
Yuan Ji, having acted with Tang Ping before, was initially surprised by the content, but quickly regained his composure and cooperated with her. He then pretended to push her while secretly slipping her a prop that allowed him to contact his colleagues in the Armed Forces Department.
While watching the battle from the shore, Tang Ping sent out a distress signal. This device uses spiritual power as a transmission medium, is not affected by signal interference, and does not require a relay intermediary, but it cannot cross the real world and the illusory world.
Fortunately, the personnel from the Armed Forces Department, who had been stationed in the Illusionary Realm for a long time, quickly sent back feedback that they had received the information.
After Yuan Ji and the Dragon King of Qiantang fought for a while, the Armed Forces Department sent a message that the encirclement was complete and they could make their move. Tang Ping then reminded Yuan Ji to take action.
At this moment, seeing that their companion had entangled Yuan Ji, the two New Territories Alliance members decisively rushed towards Tang Ping, wanting to continue their mission. If they could take hostages, they could also threaten Yuan Ji to stop.
Tang Ping knew that reinforcements were nearby, so he did not run away. He calmly activated his spiritual energy, and instantly the spiritual information of the two people opposite him appeared in his mind.
