The Sword's Majestic Might
Then, Si Ming, clad in the armor of the War God, swaggered over and said to Ba Shenhuang, "Sorry, that woman wielding the battle axe was a bit troublesome and wasted a lot of my time. I hope I'm not late."
Chapter 806 The Might of the Sword
Si Ming scanned the entire scene, his gaze sweeping over the Military God and the Nether Lord, pausing for a moment on the Black Armor General. He clearly remembered that this general had been annihilated by the War God during the last battle of the Divine Pillar, but he hadn't expected him to be resurrected now. His aura was as Youming and profound as ever, unlike that of a living person.
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to answer his questions, Si Ming continued to move his gaze, fixing it on the lecherous old man. "The only person I don't recognize here is you, old man. May I ask your name?"
The old man said in a hoarse, unclear voice, "Heh heh, this Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor, it seems my useless apprentice has received quite a bit of your care."
The term "shaman" in this world is not a derogatory term, but a professional title that combines Divine Arts with medical skills.
"Old man, who is your apprentice?"
"The Evil Doctor Wei Chunxi."
"Oh," Si Ming feigned sudden realization, "So it's a case of the upper beam being crooked, so the lower beam will be crooked too. I always found it strange that he would choose to be a bad person instead of a good one. Was Wei Chunxi out of his mind to do this? It turns out he was rotten to the core. As the saying goes, 'If the teacher is not strict, it is the teacher's fault.' His current predicament is entirely your responsibility, old man. You can't wrong an innocent person."
Hehehe...
Upon hearing this, the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor let out a chilling laugh that sent shivers down one's spine; it was unclear whether it was from anger or joy.
After observing the enemy, Si Ming's gaze fell on Ba Shenhuang, and he immediately noticed the sword wound in his chest. He sighed, "It seems I really am too late."
"No, it's that their lifespans have been extended." Ba Shenhuang remained as confident and arrogant as ever.
Huang Yan stared at Si Ming with a solemn expression, trying to discern the truth. If what the other party said was true, being able to defeat Ruo Si in such a short time meant that he was probably at the Peak Spirit Transformation. If this person joined forces with the War God, this sure-kill situation was doomed to fail.
But he recognized Si Ming and had seen Si Ming's performance in the Martial King Cup. Based on that, this young man shouldn't have such terrifying strength at all; otherwise, it would be too illogical. The Martial King Cup was only three years ago. A young man who was competing with the younger generation three years ago could now be competing with the older generation. This was simply unreasonable.
"I didn't expect to see familiar faces again," Nether Lord laughed carelessly. "However, it's rather inappropriate for a dignified War God of the Military School to be colluding with Grandmaster Candidate of the Mohist School."
Si Ming's heart skipped a beat. This guy actually knew his identity Grandmaster Candidate Master, which was quite unexpected. Although he hadn't deliberately kept this identity a secret, he hadn't publicized it either. Apart from his friends, the only people who knew about it were the seniors of the Heaven's Will Palace.
But he remained expressionless and retorted, "It 'Heaven-Defying Society much better than colluding with the infamous Miaotian Society. After all, that's a notorious organization of traitors known to all. Anyone with a modicum of principle would avoid it; once you're associated with it, you'll be condemned for eternity."
Then he turned to Huang Yan and said, "Your Military God, I believe you are definitely not one of them. You have been deceived by their sweet talk. How about this, we join forces to eliminate these scum of the Human Race and clear your name?"
Huang Yan stared at Si Ming for a while, then laughed and said, "What an interesting person. He makes your divisive rhetoric sound so righteous. Non-Self didn't have no other choice, I might actually have to consider your suggestion."
Si Ming, "Can I interpret this as meaning that the peace talks have failed?"
Huang Yan countered, "I promise I will never harm the Divine Pillar, and I can even place that land under the jurisdiction of the Mohist Knight Guard. Can you choose to remain uninvolved?"
"As expected of Military God, you guessed my reason for assisting the War God in just a few breaths. Unfortunately, compared to your promise, I'd rather believe in the War God's character. Empty words ultimately lack any guarantee."
"Yes, I share your belief in his character. I know he would never let go of the opportunity to fight me, so I can't trust your promise either." Huang Yan smiled dismissively. "Actually, there was never a negotiation option from the beginning. To deal with someone like Universe-Shaking Divine General, there's no way to succeed if you have the idea of leaving yourself an escape route."
Si Ming chuckled, "Look at what you're saying, as if you can succeed by not leaving yourself a way out. Face reality, the title of 'Hundred-Victory Military God' can be changed tonight." He took a step forward, his fighting spirit surging, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense.
"The outcome is still uncertain; it's too early to draw conclusions!"
A white flame appeared in Huang Yan's palm, exuding an aura of desolation and impending doom. He slammed it into the ground, and the white flame rapidly spread, altering the surrounding environment and devouring all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth nearby. Si Ming and Ba Shenhuang also simultaneously felt their own Cultivation Body being eroded by the white flame.
"Plague Intent Elegy!"
The Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor slammed his skull staff into the ground, and a mournful melody, so poignant it made one's heart ache, began to play. Si Ming and Ba Shenhuang immediately felt their Jing Essence dissipate, their strength waning, and their bodies unable to exert any force, as if they had contracted a serious illness and fallen into a state of weakness.
Nether Lord formed a hand Law Seals, and a dark power gathered in front of him, suddenly sinking into the ground and sneaking towards Si Ming. At the same time, the Black Armor General swung his sword, leaped up, and delivered a powerful slash from above. The immense force created air pressure, causing the ground below to cave in even before it touched him.
"Primordial Gen Raises a Lofty Mountain!"
Xia Guanxue moved like a swallow, arriving suddenly. With One Sword Qi, she ignited the hidden undercurrents beneath the earth, causing the ground to crack open.
"Asura Pardons Buddha!"
Ying Zhou followed closely behind, his Conquest Demon Saber slashing upwards in reverse to meet the Black Armor General's greatsword head-on. The two forces collided, and Ying Zhou let out a muffled groan. His Asura Divine Power was still inferior to his opponent's, and he staggered back several steps.
"Wow, that's powerful!"
The setback in the clash of forces did not discourage Ying Zhou; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit. He brandished his demonic blade and charged towards an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, while Xia Guanxue also drew her sword to attack Nether Lord. The two sides clashed in a fierce battle.
With two people blocking the attack, Si Ming didn't need to be distracted. He reached out and the golden Dragon Scale Sword fell into his palm. Then, a thunderous dragon roar was heard, and the vast Sword Qi condensed into a dazzling golden dragon, which flew and roared, crashing straight into the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor.
In team battles, the priority is to eliminate the enemy's backline, especially those who can cast group weakening Law Technique. That's why Si Ming personally faced off against the seemingly weakest Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor in order to kill him as quickly as possible.
"Yin Gu Life Substitution!"
Sensing the power of this One Sword, the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor's expression changed drastically. He never expected that even after being weakened twice, his opponent could still unleash such a terrifying sword move. He quickly Hand Seals to condense Yin Qi into a huge Gu worm, which guarded him.
Amidst the devastating sword light, the golden dragon easily shattered the Gu worms, but the figure of the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he reappeared a hundred meters away, frantically pulling something from his robes.
"Can they escape?"
Si Ming chuckled and took a step forward, instantly covering a hundred meters. He then slashed at the chest with his palm like a knife, but a clang rang out. A gray-blue figure stood in front of the Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor, blocking his hand strike with both arms.
"Oh, and there are helpers too."
Si Ming was surprised. Although it looked like an ordinary chop, he had actually used three divine powers. Even if a Nascent Spirit Transformation Grandmaster had been hit by this, his arm bones would have been shattered.
"The Northern Emperor opened all the gates of sin, and opened the channels for lawsuits among the spirits and gods, so that all demons gathered to rule the world!"
The Hundred-Harm Witch Doctor quickly Hand Seals incantations. His bluish-gray figure let out a beast-like roar and wildly swung his hands at Si Ming. His hands had sharp, blackened nails, whose sharpness was comparable to divine weapons. They did not break even after a fierce friction with the Dragon Scale Sword.
In a series of dazzling exchanges, Si Ming calmly parried all of his opponent's attacks and took the opportunity to get a clear look at his opponent's face.
"So it was a zombie. No wonder it could block my hand chop."
"Not a zombie, but the Stiff Corpse King!"
