Chapter 969

Standing on the ground, the force is only about ten times that of gravity, and the Ziyue, the easier it is. Even so, Li Shuang, had to exert all her strength to stand up straight and avoid being crushed to the ground.

Who is it?

Shentu Chuang swung his sword at the ground. Since the opponent had set up the formation underground, he could destroy it by damaging the ground and changing the terrain.

However, the moment Shentu Chuang cleaved the earth, a series of dense Sword Qi shot out from the crack. He hurriedly dodged, but was still a step too slow. He was grazed on the arm, which cut a wound from which pus and blood flowed out.

Shentu Chuang's expression changed, and he quickly swung his knife to shave off a piece of flesh from his forearm, forcibly cutting off the infection of Devil Qi. The piece of flesh had just fallen to the ground when it began to rot and stink.

Nether Lord said, "Devil Sword Qi, it seems we've fallen for that young master's trap again."

"You can't blame me for this. It's your actions that were so obvious, like fireflies in the dark. If I didn't try to figure things out, I'd be letting you down."

A handsome figure emerged slowly, dressed in Baiyi as white as snow, with long, ink-black hair. He spoke and smiled gently, like a refined gentleman in Baiyi amidst the turbid world. His eyes, in particular, radiated confidence and wisdom, like the brightest star in the night sky.

"The young master of the Divine Strategy Office, 'The Calculates All Ghosts and Gods,' Si Ming!"

Shentu Chuang clutched his wound, looking at the young man before him with a wary expression.

This young man's cultivation level is not deep. It is said that he was born with a blocked meridian and cannot absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. He can only rely on medicine and some martial arts that refine Internal Cultivation to the tenth level. The Level Ten Internal Cultivation is already unattainable for ordinary people, but for geniuses of the same age, it can only be considered the lowest level.

However, Shentu Chuang was also well aware that this young man did not rely on Internal Cultivation. He had become a disciple of the War God of the Military School Ba Shenhuang and was cultivating the demonic Cultivation Method "Tyrant Fist". He was following the path of a body-refining martial artist. However, the path of body refinement requires gradual progress and is a long and arduous journey. Even with the young man's extraordinary talent, he had only touched the threshold of the Spirit Transformation stage and had not yet entered the Spirit Transformation Realm.

What truly made the young man formidable was not his martial arts skills, but his unerring wisdom.

Legend has it that he had a fortuitous encounter and mastered the Military School's ultimate skill, "Immortal Strategy Armory," Chess School's ultimate skill, "Heavenly Origin Sword Technique." The former was a unique skill created by the founder of the Military School strategist school, incorporating various military tactics into it, allowing one to learn military strategy while practicing martial arts. The latter further combined the art of chess with Swordsmanship, and only those with divine insight and strategic acumen could successfully master it, requiring exceptional talent. To date, only a handful of people in the history of Chess School have mastered this sword Swordsmanship, and there is no one in the contemporary era who can succeed him. Yet, this disciple of the Military School has made it shine brightly.

Moreover, with his exceptional martial arts talent, Si Ming combined the "Heavenly Origin Sword Technique" with his own Devil Cultivation Method to create a Devil Sword Qi. This Sword Qi possesses a powerful corrosive force, comparable to the most potent poisons in the world. Once contaminated, even Spirit Transformation Grandmaster would have to expend considerable effort to remove it. It was with this Devil Sword Qi that he defeated Huyan Lie, the Plundering Fire Soldier King attempted to establish his own sect, thus becoming one of the few geniuses who defeated a Nascent Spirit Transformation Spirit Transformation Grandmaster cultivation.

Last time, Remote Heaven Society's scheme to deceive the France was seen through by this guy, and he fell into the ambush of Military School master, suffering many casualties. Unexpectedly, he still failed to fool them this time.

"The fighting is so fierce across the Northern Continent, and Nation of Valor forces are all tied down on the front lines, yet the Divine Pillar remain completely undisturbed, as quiet as a graveyard. Isn't it obvious you have ulterior motives? A single green leaf amidst a sea of flowers— Non-Self 'm blind, how could I not see it?"

After Si Ming finished speaking, he reached out and threw out a head. It rolled around on the ground a few times, and Shentu Chuang looked closely. It was one of the members who had infiltrated the Remote Heaven Society in Nation of Valor.

"Of course, I also considered that perhaps your Remote Heaven Society really has no interest in the Divine Pillar, and I was overthinking it. So I tested the waters a little, secretly ordering the leader of the local garrison to send a request for reinforcements, saying that they had discovered some clues about the Remote Heaven Society. As it turned out, the message was intercepted, so the truth is obvious."

Nether Lord sighed and said, "As expected of the young master who plans everything perfectly, our Remote Heaven Society planning this operation for a long time, even going so far as to instigate a war against the Demon Race. I never expected that we still couldn't hide it from your discerning eyes, and all our efforts have been in vain."

The Moth Emperor's face darkened, and she said with displeasure, "We haven't even fought yet, the outcome is still uncertain. Even if he brought reinforcements, he might not be a match for us. Giving up now is far too early!"

At this moment, Si Ming burst into laughter, a mixture of mockery of the enemy and pride in his impending victory.

Just as the Moth Emperor was about to launch a powerful attack, Si Ming clapped and said, "Your acting skills are truly superb. It's such a pity you don't act in movies. If I hadn't seen that only four people from your Remote Heaven Society came today, I might have actually believed it."

Nether Lord looked surprised. "Oh, so I was acting all along. How come I didn't even know it myself?"

Si Ming shook his head and said, "There's no point in acting anymore at this point. Fine, it seems you won't admit it unless I tell you the truth, so I'll be frank. Attacking the Nation of Valor Divine Pillar is just a pretext; your real target is the Divine Pillar of the Li State."

Nether Lord was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I deliberately set up a trap within a trap, making you believe that the Nation of Valor Divine Pillar hidden in the Demon Race's fog was the real answer, but I still couldn't fool you. You truly deserve to be called 'the Calculates All Ghosts and Gods.' Can you tell me how you guessed it?"

"It's very simple. Nation of Valor recently Remote Heaven Society over the Divine Pillar, and they are on high alert. Now is not the best time to take action. Moreover, the location of the Nation of Valor Divine Pillar has been exposed, which is undoubtedly advantageous to the guardian. For example, like me, you can set up an array in advance and wait for them to come to you. Even from the perspective of success rate, choosing the Nation of Valor Divine Pillar is a last resort."

The Divine Pillar of Su State are destroyed, and the Divine Pillar of Nation of Valor are merely a pretext. That leaves only Li State and Germany as options. According to our analysis, summoning the Divine Pillar requires a vast amount of mental power. The collective hypnosis practiced in Su State is a one-time event, and the only alternative is the lingering resentment generated at the moment of death. Therefore, you need a large number of deaths. Germany, however, has enjoyed peace and prosperity with little bloodshed, making it impossible for you to gather that much mental power. In contrast, Li State is ravaged by war and famine, making it far easier to find dead bodies.

Finally, only four of you came today. You treated such an important task as slaying the Divine Pillar so casually. It's clear you didn't focus on this at all. It seems your main force went to the Li State. Successfully slaying the Divine Pillar would be excellent, but failure wouldn't bother you.

Upon hearing this, Moth Emperor glared at Nether Lord with resentment and said, "Is that really true? You had no intention of destroying the Divine Pillar at all; you just wanted to use me to attract attention and treat me as a pawn?"

The Nether Lord neither admitted nor denied it, but his attitude was enough to prove everything, making the Moth Emperor's face even more gloomy. If it weren't for the common enemy right in front of her, she probably would have already taught these three a lesson.

Si Ming, "This woman with the flawless face must be the King of Monsters, Moth Emperor. Rest assured, we have already avenged half of your grudge. I can't go to the Li State, but fortunately, there are still people in this world who would die for the benefit of the world. If we ask them for help, they are willing to sacrifice themselves to Divine Pillar."

Shentu Chuang changed, and he said, "You leaked the information to the Mohist School?"

Si Ming nodded and said, "They must have already started fighting by now. What a pity, we missed a magnificent battle that would have been recorded in history."

Suddenly, Nether Lord exclaimed, "This is bad! He's stalling for time! Attack immediately and destroy the Divine Pillar!"

The others reacted immediately and rushed to attack Si Ming and the Divine Pillar behind him.

Si Ming pointed his finger at the ground, and countless Devil Sword Qi burst forth, intercepting the Moth Emperor and blocking the Nether Lord's Divine Arts. Only Shen Shentu Chuang over, his slash aimed at the face of the demon king.

"Sword Reverses Heavenly Light!"

A dazzling sword light flashed, and a figure leaped forward, intercepting Shentu Chuang with sharp Sword Qi. With the help of the formation, the figure forced Shen Tu Chuang back with a series of sword strikes.

A sharp-featured young man with eagle-like eyes stood in front of Si Ming, guarding him like a gatekeeper. This was none other than Soaring Sky Sword Gu Xinglie, Si Ming's good brother and the first genius swordsman in the history of the Military School to break through to the Spirit Transformation Soul stage.

However, seeing this, Nether Lord breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Only one helper? So you really were just bluffing. Then we still have a chance of winning. With just the two of you, even with the help of the formation, you can forget about protecting the Divine Pillar."

"No, you have no chance of winning now."

Si Ming looked up at the sky and saw a figure rushing towards him. In a short while, the figure tore through the sky and landed with a thud, revealing an unparalleled and domineering figure.

"Am I not late?" asked Ba Shenhuang, who was dressed in Military School Profound Armor.

"Master, you've arrived just in time." Si Ming bowed respectfully, then complained, "There are no spatial teleportation arrays in this world, so when we're in a hurry, we can only rely on the Profound Armor, which is really too troublesome."

"Hmph, as long as it works, it's fine."

As Ba Shenhuang spoke, he removed his Profound Armor, clearly believing that he did not need Profound Armor help in dealing with the enemy before him.

Nether Lord smiled bitterly, "War God, have you already disregarded the safety of the soldiers on the front lines?"

Si Ming, "It was precisely to ensure victory at the front that Master arrived late; otherwise, why would I have delayed?"

Nether Lord understood and asked, "Is it the Demon King?"
