Chapter 468: Philosopher Jiangchen
Ye Wen universe, eight hundred miles outside Renjiazhen.
A desolate mountain range, a pitch-black night, all was deathly silent.
Ye Wen, Ma Danna, Xiao Shi, Feng Baobao, the Bad Commander, and others arrived here.
At this very moment, the Yin energy of heaven and earth had reached its peak; the needle of Ma Danna's Bagua Compass flickered incessantly, an omen of a great evil.
"Ye Shifu, can you see Jiangchen?" Ma Danna asked.
Ye Wen shook his head and said, "Jiangchen is no more than ten miles from us. He has already discovered us and has taken the initiative to conceal his tracks."
Although the Superman Bloodline's telescopic vision can take in everything, that only applies to ordinary people.
If a powerful existence senses it in advance, they can still hide.
An existence like Jiangchen, though he does not understand the principles of the Superman Bloodline, is still capable of actively hiding himself.
"Come to think of it, aren't we being a bit brave, coming here to find Jiangchen on our own?" Tony complained.
Along the way, he had collected records about Jiangchen from mythology; this was a formidable figure, with boundless magic power and unfathomable depth. Even if this wasn't the true mythology, his strength was still top-tier in Renjian.
"Some things must be done by someone. If the Zombie King is reborn, this world will fall into chaos, and order will shatter with a crash," Ma Danna said.
This is the destiny of their Exorcist Clan, a struggle with Jiangchen spanning ten million years; they were born for this.
"Miss Ma has great righteousness, this poor Daoist admires you," Jiushu said earnestly.
"Ye Shifu, when the time comes, you must protect me," Tony said.
Ye Wen gave a bitter smile and said, "To be honest, this is the first time Ye has felt such an intense sense of threat."
One must know that he is not the same as when he first obtained the Superman Bloodline; he has been basking in the sun for over half a year, and his strength has increased by several levels. Even if the real Superman came, he could beat him up.
But this mysterious Jiangchen, without even appearing, gave him a strong sense of threat.
"No matter, I will strike," Xiao Shi said earnestly.
"Let's not, Brother Shi. Although you'll be awesome in the future, you're still in the growth stage now," Tony said.
"No matter, I will strike," Feng Baobao added.
"..., Bao'er Jie. You have a resurrection buff, I don't," Tony shook his head.
"Stop talking. Originally, this Commander wasn't nervous, but now..." the Bad Commander finally spoke in the silence.
"Indeed, as a hundred-year-old man, this is the first time I've encountered such a stimulating event," Zhang Sanfeng said.
Finally, as the group spoke, a sudden gale blew, dark clouds obscured the sun, the Yin energy of heaven and earth permeated the air, the temperature plummeted to the freezing point, and a howl of a heavenly wolf came from afar.
Under the dark night, a figure hovered beneath the blood-colored sky. He was in rags, his hair disheveled, just quietly suspended in the air, yet he brought immense pressure to everyone!
"Jiangchen!"
It was Ma Danna's first time seeing Jiangchen, but she recognized him at a glance.
At this moment, Jiangchen had just awakened, his consciousness somewhat in Chaos. His body was wrapped in tattered cloth, making it impossible to see his true face, but if one looked closely, one would find ancient runes and spells on those rags, left behind by the Daomen masters who had once sealed Jiangchen.
But time had passed and the world had changed; these runes and spells no longer had any magic power, which is why Jiangchen had awakened from his slumber!
But there were also environmental factors; the world was in chaos, and every year hundreds of thousands of people died—dying from plagues, wars, famine, natural disasters...
The resentment, hatred, and unwillingness of these people transformed into a mysterious power that Jiangchen absorbed, allowing him to wake up.
Suddenly, a pair of massive bone wings extended from Jiangchen's back. He looked up to the sky and howled, gray Yin energy constantly spewing from his mouth, and then a pair of scarlet eyes stared at the people on the ground.
Tony frowned and hurriedly retreated behind Ye Wen.
"Have you come to seal me again?" Jiangchen muttered to himself.
He possessed a super learning ability; although he had just revived, once awakened, information about all things in the world would automatically appear in his mind, as if he were born knowing it.
"Jiangchen, you are the Zombie Progenitor. Once you are out in the world, you will surely bring turmoil, blood, and slaughter to this world," Ma Danna said loudly.
"A descendant of the Ma Family, I saw one a thousand years ago."
Jiangchen glanced at Ma Danna and saw the Ma Family bloodline in her.
"I am the Zombie Progenitor, Jiangchen. I am ageless, deathless, and indestructible. What does the turmoil of this world have to do with me? Humans are greedy without limit, possessing infinite desires; that is the greatest scourge of this world!" Jiangchen said.
"Demonic words confusing the masses, Jiangchen," Ma Danna scolded angrily.
"Do you know how many zombies have secretly harmed innocent commoners and killed how many living beings over these past few thousand years!"
Ma Danna drew her Dao Sword, preparing to perform the Ma Family Exorcism Technique.
Jiushu also took out a Talisman, ready to fight at any moment.
"What does that have to do with me? Do you think everyone is worthy of being bitten by this seat?
The humans bitten by this seat are not cursed, but blessed; it is love!
They possess my power of immortality and can live forever; is that not good?
Those evil zombies clearly could not maintain their original intent, their desires magnified, and thus they brought disaster to Renjian.
As for zombies, I believe most zombies in this era are the result of human folly; are they worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as this seat?" Jiangchen said.
Although he was the Zombie King, Jiangchen gave people a sense of being refined and gentle as a spring breeze, with an extraordinary bearing.
He was more like a scholar, or more accurately, a philosopher!
"That seems to make some sense," Tony nodded slowly.
"You are not my match, leave," Jiangchen said again.
"Sealing you is the destiny of our Ma Family. No matter how reasonable you sound, your existence violates the Great Dao cycle of heaven and earth. I will still seal you and return peace to this world," Ma Danna said.
In terms of verbal skill, she was certainly no match for Jiangchen.
Jiangchen's words seemed flawless, but her will would not be easily shaken.
"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Zai, Qian, destroy evil."
Ma Danna formed the Daomen mantra seal with both hands, imbuing it onto the Dao Sword. Her whole body soared into the air, and she flourished the sword, striking out a golden light like a meteor in the dark night, extremely dazzling.
The hovering Jiangchen shook his head slightly. He had just awakened and his strength was not yet at its peak, but facing an attack of Ma Danna's level, he could still handle it with ease.
With just a casual palm strike through the air, he scattered the golden light, and then he said:
"It seems the Dharma-Ending Era has arrived; the Taoism of this era actually possesses only this much power."
Recalling the era of ten million years ago, those Daomen Celestial Masters could each overturn clouds and rain, wielding the way of thunder; even he had to avoid their sharp edge.
In this current era, the power of Daomen spells is not even one-tenth of what it once was.
As for those ancient Immortals, they have long since ceased to exist.
In a certain sense, Jiangchen can also be considered one of the few true "Immortals" in this world.
"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, by the decree of the Dragon God, Earth Fire Heaven Wind Borrowing Law, slay the evil!"
"By the decree of the Dragon God, Heavenly Thunder Exorcism Sword Art, slay the evil!"
Ma Danna was extremely stubborn and her fighting spirit was unyielding; provoked by Jiangchen, she went all out, unleashing two Dragon God spells in succession.
