Chapter 2892

"You were supposed to just stay put until these... demons wiped out Li Jing's family, then we could rest easy..."

Before he could finish, Shen Gongbao was suddenly flung away by Qin Guangwang with a loud crash.

He rolled dozens of times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"... Master!"

Ao Bing fell silent.

"Shen Gongbao?"

Qin Guangwang's expression remained blank as he stepped slowly toward Shen Gongbao, forming a black skull mark on his hand, "Fascinating... since you're so eager to die, I'll send you on your way."

"Insolent!"

A voice like spring thunder suddenly rang out.

From utter softness to utter hardness—in an instant.

A fist, wrinkled and aged, appeared out of nowhere, buried deep in Qin Guangwang's chest.

"... You! This... this is..."

For the first time, Qin Guangwang's expression changed, filled with deep shock and disbelief.

He forced his head to turn, fixing his gaze on the white-haired elder clad in the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji robe.

"Old man will send you on your way!"

Zhang Sanfeng's face was calm; he shook his fist, and Qin Guangwang exploded into fragments.

The demons paused for an instant, then, as if all restraints had vanished, surged forward en masse.

"... Under heaven, all land belongs to the Emperor! At the edges of the earth, all subjects are the Emperor's!"

A soft murmur sounded.

A terrifying pressure erupted suddenly, like a mountain crushing down—most of the demons were crushed to their knees.

The weak ones turned directly to dust.

Those... strong enough to still stand...

Were instantly crushed utterly by Zhang Sanfeng's Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram.

Su Han appeared out of thin air beside Ao Bing and Li Jing; Zhenyi True Person frantically raised his flywhisk.

"... Master Daoist! We're on the same side."

Su Han smiled and gripped Zhenyi True Person's arm.

Then he gently pointed a finger, and all of Li Jing's wounds—his robe half-drenched in blood—were fully healed.

"... Thank you!"

Li Jing let out a long breath.

"You're welcome!"

Su Han nodded with a smile.

Ao Bing ceased his effort, and the barrier of his inner realm shattered into nothingness.

At this moment, the guild chat exploded.

Fujiwara no Saa: ""

Nyaa: "Holy shit!"

Yato: "Wait... is Qin Shi Huang really this strong?"

Arya: "Didn't he just say he was stronger than Zhang Sanfeng?"

Yato: "Damn... I thought Zhang Sanfeng was holding back during normal fights!"

Mitsuha: "... Holding back? That's so realistic!"

Yukinoshita Yuki: "He's the big boss! Don't dare provoke him, don't dare."

True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "... Why do you all think I was holding back for him? I don't even depend on him for my meals."

Zhang Sanfeng answered with blunt honesty.

His title of State Advisor was forcibly given to him by Ying Zheng.

Everything about him, too, is not tied to Ying Zheng's power.

Under these circumstances, he has no need to flatter Ying Zheng: "I'm left speechless."

Bai Hu Zi: "... What's unexpected is! Shen Gongbao actually intervened to save Ao Bing..."

Fourth Hokage: "That's normal, after all—who can remain heartless?"

"No matter what, Ao Bing was Shen Gongbao's student for three years..."

One For All: "Hah... then could you please explain why, in the original story, Zhenyi True Person was willing to endure the Heavenly Tribulation for Nezha, but Shen Gongbao wasn't?"

Kogoro Mori: "Because at that time, Shen Gongbao was certain Ao Bing was dead."

Kogoro Mori: "Didn't you hear what Shen Gongbao said to the Old Dragon King later...? He clearly didn't know Ao Bing's body was dead but his soul still lived."

Bai Jing Heizi: "Shen Gongbao's characterization... somehow reminds me inexplicably of Loki."

Loki: "Hah! What does that have to do with me?"

Bai Jing Heizi: "Cough... I mean the Marvel version of Loki."

Thor Odinson: "..."

Hei Qi Yihu: "Thor fell into deep thought."

"

Make the World Suffer: "Thinking about it carefully... there are indeed similarities! For example, Zhenyi trusted Shen Gongbao completely—just like Thor did! And Zhenyi was also severely betrayed by Shen Gongbao..."

Xuanwozhang Sect rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Make the World Suffer: "Hmm! I just wonder—will Shen Gongbao later be redeemed like Loki, and even make cameos in other films of the Fengshen universe?"

Nakiri Erina: "And then to protect Taiyi... was killed by the final boss?"

Fate/kaleid Lancer Illya: ""

Kinomoto Sakura: "Bringing that up at a time like this... are you a devil?"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Wing Black Cat: "Am I the only one who noticed... the president healed Li Jing! Yet completely ignored Shen Gonggong standing right there?"

Gao Ban Kyousuke: "Gonggong is in tears.

"

Tsuburaya Dagu: "No bullying innocent Gonggong!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "... Don't worry! I don't mean to discriminate against him, just—rest a moment! Once the fight over here is done, I'll go save his life."

Aikawa Ayumu: "Hiss!"

Nyaruko: "Listen to yourselves—is that something a human would say?"

Kayaba Akihiko: "Look quickly! Qin Guangwang's body is starting to reform... and! Behind him, two other of the Ten Yama Kings have appeared."

Ainz Ooal Gown: "Oh my... the Yama King who was guarding the Gate of Hell above the sky has now descended too! Clearly intending a final showdown with you."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "... This guy shouldn't know Nezha or Li Jing!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Or rather, his knowledge of them only goes as far as the Investiture of the Gods myth. But, looking at this guy's expression... he clearly knows Qin Shi Huang and Zhang Sanfeng."

On the battlefield, he searched.

The Yama King, Zhao, wore an expression dark as still water.

Qin Guangwang and the other two automatically retreated behind him, extremely respectful.

But at this moment, the Yama King paid them no attention at all.

The turmoil within his heart could not be put into words.

"Nezha, Li Jing, Taiyi True Person, Shen Gongbao... the Investiture of the Gods world! I never expected it to be this world... but! Judging from Taiyi True Person's Golden Immortal strength being only so-so... the immortals of this world probably aren't as incredible as I imagined!"

The Yama King's face was dark as still water.

"But, that... what's the deal with the Qin Shi Huang from The Legend of Qin? Even if The Legend of Qin and the Investiture of the Gods have a crossover... but right now it's still the Investiture of the Gods era, the Zhou Dynasty hasn't even been formally established... the Qin Dynasty is a thousand years later! Why would Qin Shi Huang show up!"
