Chapter 453

Later on, unable to bear it any longer, he actually shattered his shoes and used his toes to scratch himself.

With every scratch, he nearly tore off a chunk of flesh and blood.

In no time, the originally tall, sturdy, and imposing Fist God,

had become a bizarre creature drenched in blood, screaming ceaselessly.

"..."

Before the eyes of three hundred thousand troops, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

"Damn, does it have to be this brutal..."

Even Zhu Wushi felt his scalp tingle—who on earth was this seemingly kind and gentle Daoist?

"Daoist Priest, Wang Yangming offers his thanks..."

"However, I've already severed my own heart meridian; I'm afraid I can't be saved. Don't waste your true essence on me."

Wang Yangming's complexion flushed rosy after the Daoist channeled true essence to extend his life.

But he knew his own condition best—his heart meridian severed, the essence of the Three Teachings exhausted, living wouldn't be that easy.

Still, before dying, seeing the arrogant Fist God in such a wretched state was some consolation.

"Indeed! My Heaven-Earth Eternal Everlasting Spring Art can only briefly extend your life."

"To save you, it seems we'll have to find the Grand Dragon Head."

The Daoist let out a soft sigh.

For a man like Wang Yangming, who sacrificed himself for his country, he also held great admiration.

"Grand Dragon Head? Daoist Priest, you are...?"

Wang Yangming caught the implication at once and immediately asked.

"I am precisely the Fourth Dragon Head of Qinglong Society, Senior Xiaoyaozi!"

The newcomer was none other than Senior Xiaoyaozi, who had entered the War God Temple with Li Taibai and completed the mission before emerging.

"Ah! The Fourth Dragon Head is here! Qinglong Society is here! Great Ming is saved!"

On the city tower, closely monitoring the situation, the Prince of Nan, upon hearing this, wept with joy.

The defending soldiers who heard it were also overjoyed.

The Fourth Dragon Head has come!

Qinglong Society has also come!

Then who would dare to oppose Great Ming!

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Wushi, upon hearing this, immediately questioned,

"Not long ago, the Nine Heavens Heavenly Dao Combat Power Ceiling Ranking was revealed—the Fourth Dragon Head was only ranked thirty-first, at the peak of Heaven-Human Realm cultivation."

"Yet you could destroy Fist God with one palm, leaving him virtually powerless to retaliate."

"You say you're the Fourth Dragon Head Senior Xiaoyaozi—you're fooling a ghost!"

A powerful enemy is not scary; what's scary is Qinglong Society!

If Qinglong Society truly came to reinforce, his ten Great Generals might not necessarily remain reliable.

So regardless of whether this Daoist was truly Senior Xiaoyaozi, Zhu Wushi had to deny it with all his might.

Moreover, in his heart, so what if the opponent was an even more formidable expert?

He had three hundred thousand troops, bolstered by numerous military formations!

As long as the ten Great Generals didn't panic and followed his lead,

even if Ximen Wudi came, he'd dare to fight back!

"Daoist Priest, are you truly Senior Xiaoyaozi?"

Wang Yangming was also immensely excited—hadn't he risked his life precisely to protect Great Ming?

Now, hope had finally appeared!

Still, what Zhu Wushi said wasn't without reason.

How long had it been since the Nine Heavens Heavenly Dao Combat Power Ceiling Ranking was published? How could Senior Xiaoyaozi have improved so quickly?

285-War God Temple?

"Oh! I broke through accidentally."

Senior Xiaoyaozi scratched his head and replied with a hint of smugness.

"Broke through? Accidentally?"

Wang Yangming felt as if his heart could start beating again.

Master, Daoist Priest, you can't bully people like this!

Your breakthrough was that simple?

"Bah! Everyone, don't believe this old swindler's words."

"Ten Great Generals, quickly set up the grand formation and bombard this old swindler together."

Couldn't let Senior Xiaoyaozi keep talking, or his identity would be confirmed.

If even one of the ten Great Generals defected, the situation would spiral out of control!

Zhu Wushi, leveraging what little authority he still had, immediately issued the order.

The ten Great Generals were half-believing, half-doubting.

Indeed, it hadn't been long—how could one break through so quickly?

Everyone in the world knew the gap between the peak of Heaven-Human Realm and the Supreme Mythical Realm.

This old Daoist Priest really shoots his mouth off without even drafting a draft!

What's more, the ten Great Generals are, to varying degrees, under someone's control.

Having just received Zhu Wushi's order, he immediately set the military formation in motion.

In this world, although a top-tier powerhouse can be invincible under heaven, with no one as his match,

once a great army rises and links through military formations, their momentum joining into one, their combat power is also extremely astonishing.

For instance, the four great secret agents of the Dragon Protection Shanzhuang just now, four experts at most of the Grandmaster level,

by joining hands and laying out a formation, could not only block the peerless peak Cao Zhengchun,

but as long as they were given a little more time, once Cao Zhengchun's Thunder Gang Qi was exhausted, he might even have been defeated.

Therefore, the art of military formations is also one of the trump-card methods of every great imperial dynasty.

A military formation formed by three hundred thousand troops—even though the Great Ming border army cannot compare to the elites of the three great dynasties—

dealing with an ordinary Supreme Mythical Realm expert is by no means impossible!

Although Senior Xiaoyaozi's performance just now was dazzling, at best he is only at the Supreme Mythical Realm.

"Daoist! Since you are Senior Xiaoyaozi, may I ask where the other experts of the Qinglong Society are now?"

Watching the military formation about to be completed, Yang Congcong grew a little anxious.

What could be done now was to act before the military formation was completed, otherwise once the formation took shape,

if the Qinglong Society's army of assassins arrived, it would naturally be possible to achieve the objective.

"This… only I came alone…"

Senior Xiaoyaozi felt a bit awkward—his position as the Fourth Dragon Head really didn't carry much face, ha!

Only this time he had just left the War God Palace and received news of the Great Ming upheaval, so he hurried over.

"Alone?"

Yang Congcong despaired once more,

"Sigh! It seems Heaven does not bless my Great Ming."

"Daoist, while the formation isn't ready yet, hurry and leave!"

"Once it's done, it will be too late…"

"Leave? Why should I leave?"

Senior Xiaoyaozi seemed not to understand.

"Haha! Senior Xiaoyaozi, you fool—even if Ximen Wudi came, a military formation of three hundred thousand troops wouldn't necessarily be a match for him."

"And you actually dare to oppose such a military formation!"

"Very well! I'll send you to your—"
