Chapter 775: The Problem Is Very Serious

~11 min read 2,042 words

Guan Yu and Qin Qiong exchanged a glance.

"Can we beat him?"

"Don't know, want to give it a try?"

Sun Hongyun also exchanged a glance with Gongshu Ban: "Any more ex-girlfriends?"

"Two more. You think they'd be useful?"

"How about an ex-wife instead? Feels like the firepower would be bigger. Do you have a crafted ex-wife?"

"This one really doesn't have."

In terms of shock factor alone, Ao Yulie's true dragon form was clearly the greatest, even surpassing Yamata no Orochi.

This is a true dragon, after all; feels like it could pin Yamata no Orochi to the ground and grind it.

Liu Wuxiu stared dumbfounded, laughing wildly inside; he hadn't expected his side to have a hidden BOSS left.

Invincible Lu Bu, True Dragon Zhao Zilong — then you, Sima Yi... uh, never mind Sima Yi, your surname isn't great, makes people's minds wander.

Right, you're this strong, Lu Bu, and you can even fly — what's your Red Hare Dog for, then?

Liu Wuxiu fell into deep thought.

Ao Yulie rubbed his hands in anticipation; with this many people, who to slap first.

Just as he was thinking, Tang Luo descended from the sky, landing on Ao Yulie's head.

"Master, you're back?" Ao Yulie reacted instinctively.

"Mm, already resolved." He glanced at Sun Hongyun and the others.

Sun Hongyun's face instantly turned as ugly as it could get.

Lu Bu returned, but Li Bai, Xing Tian, and Yamata no Orochi were nowhere to be seen — that meant...

The other side was the final victor!

As for Ao Yulie addressing Tang Luo as Master, that matter was ignored by everyone.

They're all mixing in the mythological Three Kingdoms; Lu Bu can tear Xing Tian and Yamata no Orochi apart with his bare hands, and defeat the Poet-Sword Immortal Li Bai.

Then what's wrong with Zhao Zilong calling Lu Bu Master?

Everyone had no objections, and didn't dare to have any.

Whatever you say goes, whatever you say is right!

"I'm willing to withdraw from this Celestial Spirit War! I can even help you find Hirata Mi!" Sun Hongyun decided instantly.

"You mean this Hirata Mi?" Zhu Bajie waved a hand; inside the water screen, Hirata Mi was fleeing.

She had already reached the edge of Battle City and could leave soon, but she was hesitating, wavering.

Sun Hongyun's eyes widened — you actually ran this fast!

As for Valentine, he was far more decisive than Hirata Mi; after bidding farewell to Nobel, he decisively left Battle City.

Withdrawing from this Celestial Spirit War.

For Tang Luo, the enemy voluntarily withdrawing meant they no longer had a faction, which also counted as a form of elimination.

So right now, as long as Sun Hongyun was dealt with, along with Hirata Mi who still harbored wishful thinking, the mission could be completed.

"My Lord! We are willing to fight to the death!" Guan Yu and Qin Qiong's fighting spirit shook the heavens.

"I'm not willing..." Sun Hongyun thought bitterly.

"The battle just now isn't over yet." Zhuge Liang looked at Tang Luo.

"Strategist, please." Tang Luo said.

Guan, Zhu, and Qin clashed together once more; cheers and laughter mingled with the sound of weapons colliding.

One look and you could tell they were veteran fierce generals.

They fought for a full half hour; the three separated with GG's in a battle that was exhilarating and filled with cheers and laughter.

Pleasantly ending their lives as summoned War Spirits.

For War Spirits, death is just like going home.

Sun Hongyun's world was bleak; what a joke.

On the other side, Tang Luo's trio completely ignored Sun Hongyun; Tang Luo took out a wine gourd: "This is Li Bai's, who wants it?"

Both shook their heads; none of them had much interest in drinking.

Ao Yulie occasionally drank, but mainly to strike a pose — to look cool.

"There's one more." Tang Luo took out the broken Yuncong Tian Sword and handed it to Ao Yulie.

Ao Yulie took it, puzzled: "Master, what's wrong?"

"Take it." Tang Luo stared at Ao Yulie.

Ao Yulie felt uncomfortable all over from being stared at.

"Master, just say it — what exactly is the situation?" Ao Yulie said.

You're scaring me like this.

"Savor it, savor it carefully." Tang Luo said.

Ao Yulie picked up the broken Yuncong Tian Sword, examined it closely, sensing it; after a while, his Yintang faintly turned a bit green.

"This is..." he almost cried out in alarm; instantly green clouds covered his crown.

"How does it feel a bit like that Nine-Headed Bug thing's aura?" Zhu Bajie said.

"Correct. I didn't notice at first, only realized later." Tang Luo said, "But I clearly remember that guy was torn to shreds by us."

"Could there be a survivor that slipped through the net?"

"Hmm..." Tang Luo fell into thought, "Things were too shattered at the time, really didn't notice. But the problem is, even if there was a survivor, this is the Yuncong Tian Sword, obtained from Yamata no Orochi."

Nine-Headed Bug — perhaps because of this name, everyone took it literally, assuming it was a kind of strange insect.

Or at least something that looks like an insect, with nine heads.

Maybe it even has the bloodline of the Nine-Headed Serpent.

Actually, even Tang Luo thought so before he truly saw the Nine-Headed Serpent.

Only after getting hands-on did he realize it was wrong—this thing is actually a bird.

Who would have thought? My Nine-Headed Serpent is actually a bird!

Could it be that the Nine-Headed Serpent torn apart back then miraculously survived, a fragment of its remnant soul hiding somewhere, successfully degenerating and mutating, and then being summoned as the battle spirit Eight-Headed Great Serpent?

One thing is certain: the battle spirit Eight-Headed Great Serpent has no impression of Tang Luo and his disciples.

Otherwise, it wouldn't behave that way.

Yet, on Yun Congtian's sword, there is a faint aura belonging to the Nine-Headed Serpent—very strange.

"Forget it, just assume he didn't die." Ao Yulie dispersed the green clouds above his head, "Next time I see him, I'll take care of him myself."

"Mm." Tang Luo nodded, "I plan to refine this into Xuanbian."

Ao Yulie nodded, indicating he didn't mind such a small matter—make full use of things.

"Master, should we increase the forms of Xuanbian?" Zhu Bajie asked.

"No, I think we should reduce some instead." Tang Luo stroked his chin and said.

Zhu Bajie nodded.

This Tianling War has already lost all suspense.

Over the next half month or so, Tang Luo and his team studied the Tianling War and related legends of the Eight-Headed Great Serpent, but could not determine his identity.

They simply concluded this mission.

Although Liu Wuxiu couldn't summon meteorites, he still secured the final victory in this Tianling War, gaining hope to revive his family.

Tang Luo and his group returned to the real world and compared some time periods.

The time flow in this mission world is the same as in the real world—one month has passed in both.

Following convention, everyone tallied their gains.

Tang Luo's reward is a skill named Dual Blade Flow.

It's a rather special skill that can duplicate the weapon (equipment) held in hand for a short time, enabling dual-wielding.

The conditions for using this skill are relatively high; Tang Luo tried it, and attack-type equipment in the Divine Demon Game, such as Ao Yulie's White Dragon Blazing Wind Staff, can be duplicated.

But support-type equipment like the Cursed House, Food Magic Cube, and Gray Mist Realm cannot be duplicated.

As for things unrelated to the Divine Demon Game, Tang Luo's own Xuanbian can be duplicated, but casually picking up a kitchen knife won't work.

The restrictions are significant; if one wants to fully unleash this skill's power, they must have a suitable weapon equipment.

It is a skill that requires pairing with weapon equipment.

This reminded Tang Luo of the imposter who claimed to be Sun Wukong's fate-bearer—he also had a skill requiring weapon equipment pairing, intended to bully Tang Luo as a newcomer, but ended in tragedy.

So far, in the "Tang Luo Research" project, this incident remains Tang Luo's initial rise, a major milestone event.

If that guy knows in the afterlife that he gained fame this way through such means, I don't know whether he'd cry or laugh.

The benefit of upgrading the skill level is that Dual Blade Flow's duration increases and cooldown time decreases.

Additionally, there is an unspecified "fidelity" not shown via information pop-up.

Tang Luo tried: a level-one Dual Blade Flow "duplicated" weapon cannot match the original weapon's sturdiness.

When Xuanbian collides with the duplicated Xuanbian, the copy shatters directly.

With upgrades, fidelity should improve; if fully mastered, one should be able to hold another identical weapon for a short time.

Also worth noting: even if the duplicated weapon from Dual Blade Flow cannot be too far from the body, it cannot be lent to others.

It can only be used by oneself, and simultaneously, the real weapon equipment must be "held in hand," in active use.

Even if duplicated, putting away the original weapon equipment causes the Dual Blade Flow duplicate to vanish.

It's essentially a battle skill with dead-end limitations—trying to get rich by mass-duplicating weapon equipment via this skill is impossible.

Tang Luo and his team don't need to get rich anyway.

Because they've already mastered the Mockery skill, Tang Luo now has an open skill slot, finds this skill interesting, and decided to keep it.

Ao Yulie's reward is also a skill, somewhat embarrassing, called Iron Head Technique.

It's not a status skill, but an attack skill using the head to strike.

It doesn't match Ao Yulie's image as the Jade Dragon Prince at all, plus he already has six skills full, so he discarded this skill without hesitation.

He's not like Sun Wukong's Iron Head Baby.

Zhu Bajie's reward is a shield equipment, which in jargon means a dedicated weapon.

According to the Divine Demon Game, Zhu Bajie follows the MT path, with various related skills, and now has added equipment.

However, this shield is a small round shield, comes with a built-in block skill, and its symbolic meaning outweighs its actual effect when drawn.

Zhu Bajie plans to melt it down and refine it into Xuanbian.

He now has five skills total: Molten Arm Armor, Resilient Will, Near-Death Freeze, Collective, and the Immobilization Technique given by Tang Luo.

The Universe Shield and Earth Punch have already been fully mastered, becoming his divine abilities.

These skills, Zhu Bajie actually doesn't use much.

Now his role in the team is more that of a logistics personnel.

The White Dragon mount, Zhu Bajie's logistics, the Tiangou mascot, and Sha Wujing as the White Dragon's insurance to prevent him from accidentally overturning.

Setting aside the Divine Demon Game's roles, the team's general situation is roughly like this.

As for Tang Luo, he naturally takes on the role of protecting four.

After discussing some Xuanbian modification details with his master, Zhu Bajie left to go refine Xuanbian.

Everyone continued to lie around in the real world, Tang Luo took out the Summoning Heart, intending to contact Yang Jian, Nezha, and others to check on their recent status.

Yang Jian now lives next to the "Stone Man Sun Wukong".

Nezha and Sun Wutian are hanging out in the same world, and he's still holding the Book of Life and Death, not knowing how much the Black and White Impermanence's remnant souls have recovered.

Tang Luo first contacted Nezha.

Right from the start, there was news, and Nezha said: "The Black and White Impermanence slightly woke up for a period of time, and they told me that the Earth Store Bodhisattva has gone demonic, and the situation is somewhat serious."

"..." After hearing this delayed news, Tang Luo was silent for two seconds before asking, "I have subdued the demonic Earth Store, and it happened twice. Didn't I tell you about it?"

"???" When I throw out three question marks, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

Nezha just felt that Tang Xuanzang, this Buddhist disciple, has a serious problem.
