Chapter 927: Like to Stir Up Trouble?

In the western woods, two men and women wielding halberds stared in horror at the terrifying battlefield.

What kind of trouble did Tian Tu Mountain stir up?

What kind of person did Luo Tiantu provoke?

Among the ambush team hidden here, there were undoubtedly two Lie Tian disciples.

Otherwise, two Lie Tian Divine Hammers could not have appeared in the sky!

Another Hai Jing·Asha disciple had unleashed the Hai Jing great technique: Ten Thousand Dragon Sea-Pressing Arrow.

And a Hai Jing·Yemo had unleashed the Hai Jing great technique: Thousand Night Shadows!

These were confirmed forces; as for those hidden in the shadows, no one knew how many.

"Huh?" The young man slightly opened his mouth, even from far away sensing the earth trembling.

The woman gripped her halberd tightly, staring at the brilliant golden light blazing in the distance.

Dragon Carp Divine Art·Dragon Carp Heavenly Vessel?

Judging by the size of this golden fish, it must be at least Hai Pin·Dragon Carp Heavenly Vessel!

There was actually a Hai Jing·Dragon Carp devotee hidden within the ambush team?

At this moment, the Dong Ting female devotee's heart was stunned, then flooded with fury.

When Luo Tiantu arrived at Jing Ting Mountain seeking bodyguards, he clearly stated: Tian Tu Mountain had quarreled with a Jiang Jing·Evil Dog devotee.

The Evil Dog devotee was accompanied by one Xiang Xianyang disciple.

That was all.

Tian Tu Mountain knew its limits and had not angered any powerful factions.

This…?

Luo Tiantu, Luo Tiantu, have you ever spoken one word of truth?!

Had I known Tian Tu Mountain had provoked such a horde of demons, how could Jing Ting Mountain have sent anyone?

"Pop~"

The fish emitted a strange sound.

An eight-hundred-meter Dragon Carp was more than enough to blast Luo Tiantu and Lady Kong out of the ground!

This Dragon Carp Heavenly Vessel would crush this small mountain to rubble!

"No! No!!" Lady Kong, hair disheveled, screamed.

Just moments ago, she had felt her dignity challenged, her anger overpowering her fear.

Now, Lady Kong was utterly panicked!

She never expected a Hai Jing powerhouse to be hiding deep beneath the earth.

What kind of organization is this?

What on earth had Tian Tu Mountain done to provoke them?

This time, she might truly die.

Lady Kong had nowhere to flee—still trapped within the cube of golden jade talismans, lifted out of the ground by the massive fish head.

Countless young Cang Dragons surged forward, striking the golden jade talismans, surrounding the entire cube and cutting off all escape routes for Lady Kong.

"Puff!"

Lady Kong desperately channeled her power, shattering one ice talisman after another.

Thick frost and snow spread, freezing the bodies of the young Cang Dragons.

Let it be said: the Jade Talisman Sect truly was powerful!

This sect excelled in four elemental techniques, always finding the perfect method to counter any opponent.

The young Cang Dragons existing in water form were rapidly frozen by the thick frost, their flight speed and impact force drastically reduced.

The young Cang Dragons that slipped through cracks and entered the cube were completely frozen solid by the frost radiating from Lady Kong's body!

Everything seemed to be turning in a favorable direction.

The only problem was—

The Lie Tian Divine Hammer was coming!

The flames burning on the massive hammer showed signs of freezing, yet its devastating downward force remained.

Lu Ran's Lie Tian Divine Hammer shattered countless snow sculptures formed by the Cang Dragons.

"Rustle!"

The topmost golden jade talismans, already riddled with cracks, shattered completely under the hammer's impact.

Amid thick frost, Lady Kong snapped her head upward.

She saw nothing, yet felt an overwhelming, terrifying aura—she hastily manipulated another golden jade talisman.

"Boom!!"

The hundred-meter hammer engulfed the ten-meter "small jade tablet" and the even smaller human within it.

It was less that the Lie Tian Divine Hammer was attacking Lady Kong—it was smashing the fish.

The Lie Tian Divine Hammer slammed hard against the fish's head, roaring again.

Like most sects' Jiang Jing great techniques, the Lie Tian Divine Art·Lie Tian Divine Hammer had two stages of damage.

The first stage: impact.

The second stage: explosion!

"Boom!!"

A mushroom cloud rose, its terrifying shockwave spreading outward like a wind ring.

Trees were snapped or uprooted, flung into the distant night.

The golden jade talismans beneath the hammer had exploded; Lady Kong's water-armored body shattered, her flesh and bone crushed between the hammer and the fish's head.

The fish's upward momentum halted abruptly, forcibly stopped by the divine hammer.

Cracks covered the fish's head, making it look fragile, as if it might shatter at any moment.

"Crack!!"

The fish's head exploded.

Because the Mad Immortal's Lie Tian Divine Hammer had also come crashing down!

Her hammer struck Lu Ran's hammer, along with the tiny human below and the massive fish head, smashing them all to pulp.

"Blow! Blow! Blow!" Shi Xianxian roared.

"Boom!!"

The Mad Immortal's hammer activated its second stage of damage, wreaking havoc.

Lady Kong, once so lofty, could not even be described as "shattered into pieces."

She had become a puddle of flesh.

If Lady Kong was this, what of Yu Lengshan, whose life or death remained unknown?

It was a pity for the artifact·Jade Flower Hairpin and the divine weapon·Heavenly Trace Sword.

The artifacts and divine weapons everyone coveted were utterly pulverized under the crushing, explosive force of the Dragon Carp Heavenly Vessel and the twin Lie Tian Divine Hammers.

All of this occurred within mere seconds.

Keep in mind, the fish didn't just blast out Lady Kong!

Because Luo Tiantu had already Dunrudidi several seconds earlier and fled slightly westward, he was launched westward when the fish head struck him.

Time rewound to a few seconds prior.

"Ah!" Luo Tiantu screamed as he was suddenly blasted out of the ground by the Dragon Carp Heavenly Vessel, while fleeing along Liusha River.

He was dazed, his blood qi surging violently.

"Huh?" Deng Yuxiang sharply turned her head.

Enemies meeting, eyes blazing with hatred!

She raised one hand high; far above in the night sky, a terrifying evil blade a kilometer long rapidly formed.

At that exact moment, Lu Ran's Lie Tian Divine Hammer detonated with earth-shattering force!

The terrifying shockwave surged through Luo Tiantu's entire body, flinging him backward.

"Puff."

Luo Tiantu's throat turned sweet; he could no longer suppress his surging blood qi and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Die!" Deng Yuxiang's eyes glinted sharply; the divine power beads around her neck flared, replenishing her divine energy.

She gripped her humming broken blade and slashed down fiercely.

Evil Art·Yemo Evil Blade!

"Damn!" Luo Tiantu, blood dripping from his lips, spat out a single word through clenched teeth.

He twisted his body violently, trying to escape the Yemo Evil Blade's slashing range.

Yet as the thousand-meter evil blade continued its downward slash, it still adjusted its angle.

The bright moonlight bathed the earth.

But it did not touch Luo Tiantu.

Because the massive shadow of the evil blade completely engulfed him.

"No! Stop! Don't!!" Luo Tiantu's face was pale, his heart pounding as if it would leap from his throat.

"Whoosh!!"

The Yemo Evil Blade crashed down.

At the last possible moment, Luo Tiantu unleashed a surge of desperate willpower and kicked hard at the golden jade talisman beside him.

"Swoosh~"

Using the recoil, Luo Tiantu shot sideways at high speed.

"Whoosh!!"

The Night Phantom Blade also had a secondary damage effect—terrible winds surged outward from both sides of the blade.

The forest, already ruined beyond recognition, was now completely uprooted.

At the same moment, in the mountains farther to the west.

A young man wielding a halberd was encircled by crackling lightning.

"Tan Dong!" The Dongting female believer seized his wrist, whispering sharply, "What are you doing?"

"Xi Qing, eat the lord's grain, serve the lord's cause!" Tan Dong, the Dongting disciple, spoke with righteous indignation.

Zhang Xiqing:???

That statement, indeed, was not wrong.

For the past few months, every time Luo Tiantu went on a mission, he kept his promise and let the two of them absorb the Holy Spirit Qi first.

But this battle right now—

Are you really going to save Luo Tiantu?

Are you mad?

"Crack!" Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck Tan Dong.

Dongting Divine Art: Thunderclap Phase!

As its name suggests, whenever a Dongting believer casts this art, they gain a trace of the Divine Lord Dongting's majesty.

With the aid of purple lightning, Tan Dong's body was profoundly activated—his physical attributes surged across the board!

"The enemy is indeed strong, but we have absolute speed superiority! Don't clash head-on—come on, let's bring Luo Zhaizhu back!"

Tan Dong spoke at breakneck speed, lightning coiling around him as he dashed forward.

Dongting Divine Art: Lightning Flash!

Tan Dong's eyes flickered—his true calculations ran far deeper than his words suggested.

Luo Tiantu and the Mountain Lord of Jingting Mountain were close personal friends.

The Mountain Lord had defied all opposition to assign them this lucrative task; the two of them had feasted well for months, and the Jingting disciples were already furious!

Now that the Tianwu Mountain force was annihilated, returning empty-handed would be impossible to explain.

Their living conditions in the mountains would plummet overnight.

This ambush force targeting Tianwu Mountain clearly came prepared—they must know we're here.

Will they let us go?

Even Jingting Mountain would have to tread carefully against such a terrifying organization, wouldn't they?

Luo Tiantu certainly has flaws, but he's still a Sea Realm powerhouse—his combat strength is formidable!

Whether Luo Tiantu will submit to Jingting Mountain, and how to use him—that's for the Mountain Lord to decide.

All I need to do now is drag this "treasure" to my Mountain Lord's feet.

Everything after that? Let the Mountain Lord decide!

This return to Jingting Mountain will surely bring public punishment.

But behind closed doors, the Mountain Lord might even be secretly delighted—his two disciples have brought back a homeless, powerful Jade Talisman cultivator!

Yes, that's exactly what I should do.

Tan Dong's face froze—a terrifying aura surged toward him!

He gripped his halberd with both hands and thrust it sharply upward, roaring:

"Taaai!!"

Dongting Divine Art: Thunderclap Roar!

This is a battle cry technique that causes victims to become dizzy and immobilized.

Unexpectedly, the attacker screamed back—his voice piercingly shrill:

"Yaa!!"

Evil Art: Song of the Sea Serpent!

Tan Dong felt his skull splitting, his mind reeling!

Even though Lu Ran had shut off the Evil Art: Evil Perception, he still winced in pain, his eardrums nearly shattered!

But mentally, Lu Ran remained untouched.

Dizzy?

Impossible. He'd never suffer mental damage in this life.

Have you ever heard of the Sea Serpent Evil Art: Sea's Resolve?

Never heard of it?

What about the Demon Spear Emperor's Evil Art: Demon Cloud Resolve?

Or the Ghost General's Evil Art: Ghost General's Resolve?

I, the Master, am brimming with resolve from head to toe—how could worldly noise disturb my mind?

"Ding!"

A flash of rosy light—the sharp blade slammed hard against the halberd shaft.

The Dongting believer, famed for "absolute speed," was abruptly halted by a vicious dog!

"Ugh." Tan Dong emitted a strange guttural sound, his palms numb.

He was mentally dazed, but with the aid of Divine Art: Thunderclap Phase, his strength was considerable—the halberd didn't slip from his grip. But—

This halberd was merely an ordinary weapon; the Rosy Light Blade was a divine artifact!

And a second-stage divine artifact, at that!

A sharp crack.

The halberd shaft was severed by the Rosy Light Blade!

Lu Ran's divine power surged—his Heaven-Scorching Force fully charged. After slicing through the shaft, his momentum didn't wane—he brought the blade down in a brutal overhead slash aimed straight at Tan Dong's head!

"Sssss—"

From Tan Dong's forehead, across his nose, down to his chin—the water armor covering his face was slashed open by the Rosy Light Blade, leaving a bloody gash.

"Sss!"

The blade pierced his skull!

The Rosy Light Blade had barely reached Tan Dong's chin when the Eight Wilderness Blade, following the cut, drove straight into his third eye.

Piercing through his skull, it drove deep into the earth.

Lu Ran's chest heaved violently, his pupils cold as ice, staring at the Dongting disciple lying dead at his feet, face twisted in terror:

"You like wading into muddy waters, do you?"
