Chapter 60: My Lord, I Surrender!

~8 min read 1,575 words

The surviving Onmyoji turned pale with fright, cursing Zhang Cheng for being despicable and shameless.

Now that the Hashihime and Takajo were entangled by the Coin Sword, he could only control the Hannya and Inmorogi to deal with the Kappa and Hone-onna.

Zhang Cheng was overjoyed and immediately steered the Seven-Star Copper Sword to launch a sneak attack, slaying the Hashihime and Takajo.

"Slew Hashihime, gained two hundred merit."

"Slew Takajo, gained two hundred merit."

That Onmyoji felt his two shikigami die and cursed in anger, but he had to focus on dealing with the Hone-onna and Kappa.

The Kappa shouted: "Hey, that person, help us kill this Onmyoji, and there will be a great reward!"

Zhang Cheng heard the Japanese language from across the way but did not understand what it meant.

However, the Onmyoji opposite him hurriedly spoke in standard Chinese: "Don't believe these monsters; if you kill me, you will die too. Let us kill these two monsters together."

Zhang Cheng sneered without responding; he acted directly, burning the Hannya to death with a mouthful of Samadhi True Fire.

At the same time, he controlled the Seven-Star Copper Sword to coordinate with the Coin Sword and slay the Inmorogi.

"Slew Hannya, gained three hundred merit."

"Slew Inmorogi, gained three hundred merit."

The Onmyoji cursed in anger: "Fool, you actually believe the words of monsters!"

Only then did Zhang Cheng say: "Are you stupid? I don't even understand Japanese. If I kill you, I'll have to deal with two out-of-control evil ghosts on top of that, okay? Do you even know how to count?"

The Onmyoji's eyes widened in anger, and he roared: "Baka, you will die a horrible death!"

Zhang Cheng ignored the Onmyoji's verbal abuse and directly coordinated with the two monsters to kill the Onmyoji.

"Slew Onmyoji, gained two thousand merit."

Once the Kappa saw that the Onmyoji was dead, he looked at Zhang Cheng and laughed: "Hehehe, Tang person, I can also speak Chinese."

Zhang Cheng said with some surprise: "You monster of the Japanese pirates also understand Chinese?"

The Kappa held his head high and puffed out his chest: "What do you know? My ancestors were descendants of your River Earl. It's just that my ancestors migrated to Eikou."

"Hehehe, the shiriko-dama of a cultivator is the most delicious. Hone-onna, let's attack together."

Hone-onna looked at Zhang Cheng with great disgust, her voice somewhat hoarse as she said: "I hate men the most!"

Having said that, Hone-onna moved first, brandishing her bone spikes to attack.

As for the Kappa, he was immensely strong and relied purely on brute force to smash people.

Zhang Cheng sneered, and the Seven-Star Copper Sword in his hand flew out, directly slaying the Hone-onna who was charging at the front.

"Slew Hone-onna, gained three hundred merit."

When the Kappa saw Hone-onna killed in an instant, he did not hesitate to kneel on the ground and kowtow: "Master Mage, this little one was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai; please spare my life!"

Then he knocked his head against the ground three times in earnest.

Zhang Cheng put away his dharma treasure, holding only the Seven-Star Copper Sword, and walked to the Kappa, saying: "Give me a reason not to kill you."

The Kappa hurriedly said: "Master Mage, I understand Japanese; I can be an undercover agent for you!"

"Not only that, I can go to the battlefield right now; I'm more useful than a thousand, ten thousand humans!"

The Kappa patted his chest and promised loudly.

Zhang Cheng took out his weapon and immediately cast a spell to instill a strand of dharma power into the Kappa, saying: "Go. As long as I can see your value, I will spare your life."

The Kappa stood up immediately and replied excitedly: "Master Mage, just watch."

The Kappa ran extremely fast, quickly rushing onto the battlefield, where he picked up a bayonet and charged into the Japanese pirates to slaughter them wantonly.

The leader of the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect, who was sitting in the center of the formation, said in a rage: "Damn it, the Onmyoji is dead, and their shikigami are out of control."

The military officer said in a rage: "I don't want to hear these explanations; hurry up and deal with that Kappa."

The leader of the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect immediately ordered his subordinates to go up and help.

Zhang Cheng, who was observing the battlefield from afar, naturally would not let the Kappa get hurt.

He immediately cast a spell,

And unleashed the Coin Sword to assist the Kappa.

The sect member who came up to help was no match for the Kappa and was directly slapped to death.

As soon as that sect member died, he immediately demonized, and now he was evenly matched with the Kappa.

And the leader, seeing the Coin Sword circling around the Kappa, immediately searched everywhere for Zhang Cheng's figure.

Soon, he pinpointed a vague location and immediately said to the officer: "Immediately bomb the area five hundred meters southwest of our position."

The officer immediately ordered his men to use infantry guns to bomb the place where Zhang Cheng was.

Soon, shells rained down on Zhang Cheng like raindrops; Zhang Cheng heard the whistling of the shells and turned pale with fright.

He could not care about controlling the Coin Sword, turned around, and ran, simultaneously casting the Five Thunders Curse.

Heavenly thunder rolled down, and many shells were struck and exploded instantly.

But a few shells landed and exploded, and Zhang Cheng could only cover his head and flee in a panic.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."

Zhang Cheng patted the dirt off his body, spat out the dust in his mouth, and muttered: "Damn it, almost got blown to bits."

This round of shelling had truly angered Zhang Cheng, and he decided to launch a direct sneak attack on the enemy's command post.

Taking advantage of the fact that they had just finished shelling, he charged straight at the enemy's command post.

Those guards saw a figure and immediately stepped forward to shout a warning.

But Zhang Cheng did not hesitate, striking a guard's neck with a palm-blade; it looked like the guard had fainted, but in reality, the force was so heavy that it killed him instantly.

Another sentry met the same fate, killed by a single strike from Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng was not a professional soldier, and his raid was quickly discovered.

Some sentries relied on the favorable terrain to fire at Zhang Cheng.

Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect.

The leader was somewhat surprised and hurriedly said to several subordinates: "Go and see who has broken in!"

Several members immediately walked out of the command post to investigate.

As soon as they went out, they saw a sword flying back and forth, killing one sentry after another.

One member immediately said: "Quickly go back and tell the lord that the Chinese mage is still alive; the rest of you, follow me!"

Zhang Cheng saw several members of the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect rushing over, so he hurriedly retracted the Seven-Star Copper Sword and pretended to flee.

The several members pursued relentlessly and soon arrived at a narrow place.

Zhang Cheng stopped immediately, took out the Five-Thunder Command, and cast a spell directly.

A bolt of heavenly lightning descended, striking exactly in the middle of the group, and they died instantly.

The souls had just left their bodies when they were collected by Zhang Cheng using the Soul-Absorbing Banner.

Zhang Cheng sneered and then turned back. He had just walked halfway when he saw the leader chasing after him with one member.

The leader only saw Zhang Cheng alone and said in angry shock: "How bold, I will definitely refine you into a puppet!"

Having said that, he and the member came to surround him from the left and right.

Zhang Cheng immediately turned and ran; the member was eager to earn merit and sped up the chase. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Zhang Cheng directly took out the Fire Crow Pot to release fire, burning the member to death, and the soul was also instantly collected into the Soul-Absorbing Banner.

The leader was greatly alarmed and dared not pursue further; he hurriedly took out a cold chrysanthemum to cast a spell, and dozens of small fireballs emerged, flying directly toward Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng immediately took out the Eight Trigrams Mirror and shone it at the fireballs; under the golden light, the fireballs lost their effect and turned into petals that fell to the ground.

The leader was greatly alarmed and hurriedly threw a smoke bomb, intending to flee.

But Zhang Cheng immediately threw the Seven-Star Copper Sword; the copper sword flew dozens of meters away into mid-air, and the leader let out a miserable shriek as his figure was revealed.

Without waiting for him to beg for mercy, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and unleashed a Samadhi True Fire, burning his body, and then collected the soul with the Soul-Absorbing Banner, all in one go.

Having dealt with the people from the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect, Zhang Cheng returned to the vicinity of the battlefield once more.

The Kappa had sustained quite a few injuries and was hiding while holding his Gold Coin Sword.

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly, thinking to himself that this Kappa was not bad and was a qualified traitor to the Japanese.
