Block Prediction
The Bronze Giant Gate suddenly opened in mid-air, One Thousand Wraiths poured out from Bronze Giant Gate, each a phantom of a wronged Vengeful Spirits with a hideous face.
Almost everyone in the entire Shuzhong City looked up in astonishment at the One Thousand Wraiths in mid-air. At this moment, even though it was still daytime, the people of Shuzhong City felt as if they were in Asura Purgatory.
One Thousand Wraiths, accompanied by howls and shrieks, rushed straight towards Li Zhicheng, the Li Family Patriarch. Seeing this familiar scene from Zhuge Xiang, the hundreds of Inner Sect Disciples of the Asura Sect understood that even if Li Zhicheng was Cultivator at the Spell Control Stage, he would face a near-death experience at this moment.
"A mere wandering soul dares to take my life, Li Zhicheng? That's too childish!" Although the One Thousand Wraiths controlled by Zhuge Xiang caused Li Zhicheng's expression to change drastically, Li Zhicheng was full of confidence in his own strength. He smiled coldly, waved his hand, and a Purple Gold Alms Bowl appeared in his hand.
The Purple Gold Alms Bowl is Treasure Artifact left behind by a powerful Deity Transformation stage monk. It has the effect of restraining any Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters. In addition, Li Zhicheng has been nurturing it day and night with his mind and spirit over the years, supplemented by a domineering and yang poison. This Purple Gold Alms Bowl can even kill Vengeful Spirits.
"Gather them!" Li Zhicheng shouted, raising the Purple Gold Alms Bowl in his hand. He activated the power of the Treasure Artifact, and a powerful suction force appeared, trying to suck all the One Thousand Wraiths summoned by Zhuge Xiang into the Purple Gold Alms Bowl.
They are merely the lowest-ranking Vengeful Spirits; even if there are many of them, my Purple Gold Alms Bowl is sufficient to absorb them.
Waaaaah...
The Ghost Howls, seemingly piercing the depths of his mind, continued to resound. One Thousand Wraiths ignored the attraction of Li Zhicheng's Purple Gold Alms Bowl and passed through his body. Each Vengeful Spirits that passed through would take away 10 points of Li Zhicheng's HP.
The One Thousand Wraiths are not simply Vengeful Spirits controlled by Zhuge Xiang; this is a special effect of the Azure Nether Blade, a unique ability, equivalent to Forbidden Technique.
"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out from Li Zhicheng's mouth. One Thousand Vengeful Souls passed through, taking away a full 10,000 HP. Even though Li Zhicheng's strength had reached the level of the Spell Control Stage, his maximum HP were not this substantial.
As 10,000 HP disappeared, Li Zhicheng's body showed no signs of injury. However, amidst a scream, his body instantly shriveled up. Then, his lifeless corpse fell from the sky like a tattered sack.
"Ding! You have killed Cultivator at the Spell Control Stage who is above your level, gaining 6.2 million experience points and obtaining the skill 'Block Prediction'."
The Mechanical System Prompt sounded in Zhuge Xiang's mind as expected. Cultivator at the Spell Control Stage was indeed extraordinary, having given him a full 6.2 million Experience Points, and even a Skill Book had dropped!
With the death of the Li Family Patriarch, all the Deity Transformation Stage Cultivator of the Li Family had perished. At this point, the Li Family could be said to have been completely wiped out. From beginning to end, Zhuge Xiang only made a move once. The rest of the time, he sat steadily on the Asura Warship, commanding the Asura Sect Disciple.
But!
In that one and only move, he instantly killed the strongest member of the Li Family, the patriarch. Zhuge Xiang's strength gave people a feeling of unfathomable depth.
Back on the Asura Warship, Zhuge Xiang opened his Bag Space, and sure enough, there was a Skill Book lying inside. He used his Skill Point to learn it, and the Skill's data appeared in front of Zhuge Xiang, much to his delight.
Block Prediction is essentially an invincible Skill, similar to Xiao Yue's Indestructible Golden Body. However, while the effect of Indestructible Golden Body lasts for a period of time, Zhuge Xiang's invincibility is calculated based on the number of attacks from the opponent.
"Block Prediction (Beginner Level): Requires cultivation to the Return to Simplicity Realm and entering a Profound State. Allows for the undamaged parrying of any single-target attack from an enemy target. Consumes 300 MP. Cooldown: 60 seconds."
Ding! Mission 'Destroy the Li Family' completed. Reward: 5 million Experience Points and Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine Recipe.
At that moment, the Mechanical System Prompt sounded in Zhuge Xiang's mind again. It turned out that Zhuge Xiang had already fulfilled the mission conditions of the Destroy the Li Family, and instantly 5 million Experience Points to his account. He was also rewarded with the recipe for Super Spirit Qi Secret Medicine.
"Ding! Level increased by 1, 1 Skill Point gained, current cultivation level Return to Simplicity Realm Fifth Layer."
Having gained over 6 million experience points from killing Li Zhicheng, and with the additional 5 million, Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level soared, reaching the Return to Simplicity Realm Fifth Layer in one go, getting closer and closer to the threshold of the Deity Transformation stage.
"Reporting to the Squad Leader, the Li Family members have all been killed, and none of them escaped," Mo Wuyan reported to Zhuge Xiang after about half an hour.
The hundreds of Asura Sect Disciples had been chasing the Li Family have gradually returned.
"Okay," Zhuge Xiang nodded, then turned his gaze to the group from Tang Family Fort. His voice, delivered with Qi Energy, resounded throughout the entire Shuzhong City.
"The Li Family colluded with the Alliance led by the Qingxu Sword Sect, Weituo Temple, and Tiandao Sect, attempting to oppose the Asura Sect. They were guilty and deserved punishment. Today, they have been completely wiped out by our Asura Sect. As for Tang Family Fort, they refused to join the conspiracy and should naturally be rewarded..."
Zhuge Xiang's voice resounded throughout Shuzhong City. The reputation of Zhuge Xiang, the God of Slaughter, was still very useful in Shuzhong City. After all, Zhuge Xiang's achievement of the God of Slaughter's name came from Shuzhong City. Moreover, Zhuge Xiang now represented the Asura Sect. Naturally, everyone pricked up their ears to listen to what Zhuge Xiang would say next.
"On the site of the former Tangjiabao ruins in Shuzhong City, a new Tangjiabao shall be rebuilt. From this day forward, Tangjiabao shall be under the protection of the Shura Sect, and the head of Tangjiabao shall inherit the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Shuzhong City Guard, effective immediately."
Zhuge Xiang's words left the Tang Family Fort members stunned. With Tang Family Tang Family Fort rebuilt and protected by the Asura Sect Tang Family Fort, and with Zhuge Xiang's assurance, who in Shuzhong City would dare bully Tang Family Fort?
Moreover, the City Guard Commander of Shuzhong City? This is the position that oversees the security of the entire Shuzhong City. This is the first time that someone outside the Asura Sect has held this position.
"That's wonderful..." The people of Tang Family Fort were all overjoyed and cried tears of joy. Even the usually composed third brother of Tang Family Fort could not hide his excitement.
Why did they linger in Shuzhong City like rats, unwilling to leave? Wasn't it all for this day? With the Tang Family Fort rebuilt and backed by a powerful force like the Asura Sect, it can be said that the Tang Family Fort has been reborn from the ashes after this ordeal.
After making the announcement, Zhuge Xiang showed no intention of staying any longer. He ordered his subordinates to pilot the Asura Warship and fly towards Ink Martial City.
As the Squad Leader of the Asura Sect, and with Man Kui's instruction, Zhuge Xiang's position within the Asura Sect made it relatively easy for him to appoint someone as the City Guard Commander of Shuzhong City. This is the power that comes with strength.
For an ordinary person, the duty of maintaining order in a city is that of an incredibly powerful official, one who wields real authority. And yet, Zhuge Xiang could decide such a matter with just a casual remark... (To be continued...)
P. S.: I managed to steal a moment from my busy schedule to write a little something online for everyone. Now I'm heading back to the factory for the night shift. We need to deliver 6,000 jin of cakes tomorrow, so I might have to work all night tonight. Sigh, please subscribe and vote with your monthly tickets...
