Chapter 93: Fierce Battle
Zhong Bang, who had been mingling among the walking corpses, had intended to rescue Yu Bixin and leave directly, but Sakai had already returned.
He had just agreed with Yu Dahai on a location to exchange the gold.
Sakai pointed at Yu Bixin and said, "Take her, we're leaving."
Zhong Bang pretended to howl like a walking corpse, grabbed Yu Bixin's arm, and followed the other walking corpses forward.
Before long, they reached a patch of woods, where Yu Dahai was pushing a wheelbarrow with a chest of gold sitting on it.
Seeing the gold, Sakai sneered, "Yu Dahai, it really was you who stole the gold. Daring to deceive me, I will have you die!"
"Kill him!"
With a wave of Sakai's hand, a group of walking corpses charged toward Yu Dahai to kill him.
"Boss, watch out!"
Yang Feiyun jumped down from a tree, golden light shooting from his hand, killing a walking corpse instantly.
Yu Dahai could not care about anything else and immediately pushed the cart to flee.
Meanwhile, Zhong Bang seized the opportunity to take Yu Bixin and escape.
Sakai was furious and immediately shouted to the remaining walking corpses, "Go catch them and bring them back!"
He himself went to chase after Yu Dahai.
Knowing he was no match for Sakai, Yang Feiyun immediately drew out a paper talisman flag to hinder Sakai's movements.
Sakai was greatly enraged; he drew his katana, held it with both hands toward the sky, and bolts of Yin lightning erupted from the blade.
"Hah!"
Sakai slashed down with his blade, striking near Yang Feiyun; the massive shockwave knocked Yang Feiyun to the ground.
Clutching his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood, he saw Sakai in the distance and hurriedly got up to turn and flee.
Sakai ignored the fleeing Yang Feiyun and immediately pursued in the direction Yu Dahai had escaped.
Pushing the cart for several hundred meters, Yu Dahai finally saw Chen Jiang and hurriedly shouted, "Master Chen, I leave this to you."
Chen Jiang waved his hand and said, "Alright, put down the gold and go."
Yu Dahai exclaimed in shock, "How can that be? I have to take the gold with me."
Chen Jiang said indifferently, "Suit yourself, but Sakai will only chase after the gold; if you aren't afraid of death, then take it."
Yu Dahai was very conflicted; faced with the gold, he was already jumping with anxiety.
Chen Jiang reminded him, "Hurry up, Sakai is about to arrive."
Having said that, he returned to his position and took out the Five Elements Boundary Compass.
The inscriptions on it had begun to move, and the array disk had already sensed the ghosts and monsters nearby.
Chen Jiang lit a stick of incense and planted it; if he could not defeat Sakai within the time it took for the incense to burn, then he would be out of options.
He said to Mao Xiaofang, who was standing to the side and not yet fully recovered, "Master Mao, I'm counting on you; I will finish off Sakai as quickly as possible."
Mao Xiaofang did not refuse; although his face was somewhat pale, he nodded and said, "Fine, I understand."
In the end, Yu Dahai valued his life more and ran off, leaving the gold behind.
Chen Jiang stood by the gold, waiting for Sakai's arrival.
A moment later, Sakai flew over from mid-air and slashed down with his blade; Chen Jiang hurriedly dodged.
That strike carved a deep trench where Chen Jiang had been standing just before.
Sakai said coldly, "Baka, I only want to take back the gold; if you dare to obstruct me again, I will kill you!"
Chen Jiang scolded, "Little Japanese devil, this gold was stolen to begin with; if we let you take it away, what face would we cultivators have left?"
Sakai frowned and said, "So there is no room for negotiation?"
Chen Jiang sneered, "No room for negotiation. If you have the ability, then kill us!"
"Shine!"
Sakai was furious and flew directly toward Chen Jiang.
Chen Jiang shouted loudly, "Master Mao, now!"
Mao Xiaofang decisively reached out and placed his hand directly on the compass, channeling his magic power into it.
The superior way to use this dharma treasure was to channel magic power, while the inferior way was to channel vital essence.
The dharma array was seen to activate in an instant.
The small area of space where Chen Jiang, Mao Xiaofang, and Sakai were located was locked into a separate dimension.
Scorching temperatures surrounded the perimeter, and flames erupted from both the sky and the ground.
Such a scene greatly restricted the aura on Sakai's body.
Chen Jiang was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted, "Master Mao, keep it under control!"
Chen Jiang immediately drew his Seven-Star Copper Sword to trade blows with Sakai.
This time, Sakai could not use much Yin energy and fought Chen Jiang to a draw.
Sakai also realized the situation; he wanted to get closer to Mao Xiaofang's side but was blocked by Chen Jiang, falling into a stalemate.
Watching the progress bar nearing completion, Mao Xiaofang shouted, "Master Chen, hurry!"
Chen Jiang was startled and immediately took out his Eight Trigrams Mirror to launch a fierce attack on Sakai.
Sword Qi and golden light, along with the Eight Trigrams's golden light, bombarded Sakai, who could only spin his katana rapidly to block the incoming golden light.
The next second, the scorching world of fire vanished, and a large number of earthen walls appeared around Sakai, closing in on him.
Sakai was terrified; he immediately held his blade with both hands, gathered his strength to summon Yin lightning, and smashed through the earthen walls one by one.
Mao Xiaofang wanted very much to maintain control, but the speed of the rotating wheel remained very fast.
Chen Jiang also wanted to move closer, but the power of the Yin lightning was too great, and he could not get near.
In the blink of an eye, the world returned to its normal state.
Sakai also gained a moment to catch his breath, but Chen Jiang clearly felt a change in his body, and he saw that the Seven-Star Copper Sword had become much sharper.
Some memories also appeared in his mind; he subconsciously threw out the Seven-Star Copper Sword and chanted, "Divide!"
The Seven-Star Copper Sword in mid-air split instantly, just like one begetting two, two begetting three, and three begetting all things; the sky was filled with Seven-Star Copper Swords.
Chen Jiang was very excited and shouted, "Go!"
The dense swarm of Seven-Star Copper Swords rushed toward Sakai like a torrential downpour.
Sakai roared, gathering all the Yin energy in his body, struggling to resist the rain of swords filling the sky.
"Boom!"
Chen Jiang was shaken back a step, and Mao Xiaofang, who was controlling the compass, was also shaken back, the compass slowly coming to a stop.
Chen Jiang was greatly surprised and hurriedly shouted, "Master Mao, you go first!"
Mao Xiaofang coughed a few times and said, "Master Chen, let's go together!"
Chen Jiang looked at the dust gradually settling and said, "I'll take another look."
Before long, the dust finally settled, but Sakai's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Jiang ran over to look and asked in confusion, "Was he beaten into nothing but dust by me? Amazing."
Behind him, Mao Xiaofang shouted, "Master Chen, where is Sakai?"
Chen Jiang ran back and said, "Master Mao, I'm afraid Sakai hasn't even left a scrap of dust behind."
Mao Xiaofang coughed twice and said, "Then let's deal with the walking corpses first."
Chen Jiang nodded and said, "Master Mao, you go heal your injuries first; the remaining walking corpses are just a small problem."
Chen Jiang ran off to deal with the walking corpses, while Mao Xiaofang went to heal his injuries.
As for Sakai, he had actually already fled; at this moment, his body was much more tattered, and even his Yin energy was very thin.
Sakai gritted his teeth in secret and said, "Baka, wait until I heal my injuries, then I will come back for revenge!"
"I'm afraid you won't have the chance."
Yang Feiyun walked out from the shadows.
He had been watching from nearby the whole time, and after seeing Sakai flee, he immediately chased after him; the current Sakai was absolutely no match for him.
