You were tasked with assisting Di Xin, and you turned him into a Human Emperor?

"What kind of technique is he practicing? Even I can't figure it out."

"Deng Jiugong has Earth Immortal Realm Perfection cultivation. He just killed the Dragon Beard Tiger. He was hiding his strength!"

Juliusun said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya's expression couldn't help but change drastically.

He wasn't surprised that Deng Jiugong's cultivation had reached Earth Immortal Realm Perfection. What shocked him was that Deng Jiugong, with only Earth Immortal Realm Perfection cultivation and without revealing any mana, could easily kill the late-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm Dragon Beard Tiger.

Facing someone with higher cultivation than himself, he hid his strength and still appeared so relaxed.

This was very strange!

"Martial Uncle, why don't we let Yang Jian fight!"

Just then, Yang Jian spoke.

Deng Jiugong's strength had grown, making Nezha and Lei Zhenzi wary.

It would be most stable for Yang Jian to fight.

Yang Jian could be considered the strongest third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect in their campaigns with Jiang Ziya.

Not only was Yang Jian's cultivation the highest, but the technique he practiced, the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, was also considered the strongest body-refining technique during this Investiture of the Gods period, and he possessed seventy-three transformations.

"Be careful with everything!"

Jiang Ziya said.

With Yang Jian fighting, Deng Jiugong would definitely be crushed!

Buzz!

With a movement, Yang Jian landed in front of Deng Jiugong.

Seeing Yang Jian appear, Deng Jiugong's eyes narrowed.

To be honest, he didn't want to fight Yang Jian so early.

He couldn't even see the other party's cultivation, so he probably couldn't defeat him.

Yang Jian was a human-god hybrid with formidable strength. Even before the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation began, he had already displayed considerable power by splitting a mountain to save his mother.

Moreover, the true cause of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was related to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian wanted to save his mother, but with his own strength, how could he contend with the Heavenly Court's Jade Emperor?

Although he was the Jade Emperor's nephew, the Jade Emperor could suppress his own sister, Yao Ji, beneath Mount Peach. Naturally, Yang Jian, as his nephew, could be easily suppressed by the Jade Emperor.

However, Yang Jian was a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect. With a powerful backer like the Chan Sect behind him, and the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect interfering in the affairs of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor found himself restricted in his rule over the Three Realms.

Therefore, Yang Jian's act of saving his mother truly initiated the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, with the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect interfering in the Jade Emperor's rule over the Three Realms as the catalyst, was decreed by Hongjun. He instructed the Saints of each sect to send some of their disciples to be at the disposal of Hao Tian Jade Emperor.

As a result, the Saints could not reach an agreement and felt they had lost face.

Consequently, the Saints had their disciples sign the Investiture of the Gods Scroll, truly commencing the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

However, this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, although initiated by a disciple of the Chan Sect, turned into a tribulation orchestrated by Primordial Heavenly Venerate against the Sect of Interception.

At this moment, Yang Jian, whom Deng Jiugong was facing, was the catalyst for the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. Deng Jiugong couldn't see his cultivation at all.

This meant he was no match for Yang Jian.

"Jiang Ziya, is your Xiqi planning to wear me down with a series of battles?" Deng Jiugong said calmly.

Although he was no match for Yang Jian, Deng Jiugong showed no panic, instead appearing full of confidence.

After all, he had Kong Xuan by his side. In the presence of a Quasi-Saint expert, killing him would not be so easy.

"Ding dong, detecting the host's current situation, God-Tier Options activated!"

"Option 1: Fight yourself and gain one million Great Dao Merit!"

"Option 2: Directly call for backup and receive a treasure map!"

Just then, the System's prompt sounded.

Upon hearing this, Deng Jiugong's expression froze.

These options made it difficult for him to choose.

He wanted both!

"Choose both!"

Deng Jiugong gritted his teeth.

He attempted to make his selection!

"Ding dong, the host has made a choice and will receive rewards upon redemption!"

As the System's voice fell, Deng Jiugong's expression stiffened.

He hadn't expected to succeed again.

Next, it was time to face Yang Jian.

Without hesitation, Deng Jiugong swung his Crimson Copper Saber at Yang Jian.

He had to take this fight seriously.

He activated his cultivation technique, his aura exploding outwards, using both his physical body and Nascent Soul.

Clang!

With Divine Swordsmanship and an imposing aura, he struck directly at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian's Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear exuded an even greater power than Deng Jiugong's.

The two blades clashed, releasing an incredibly powerful energy that sent shockwaves through everyone in both camps.

"What a powerful shockwave!"

As he spoke, Deng Jiugong was sent flying backward.

Clearly, his strength was no match for Yang Jian's.

Deng Jiugong had fallen into a disadvantage in this exchange, but he was not injured.

"Call for backup!"

Deng Jiugong sent a mental message directly to Kong Xuan.

"Hiyah!"

Just then, a general from the Tang Camp galloped forward on his warhorse.

"Marshal, you have just fought a great battle and should not fight again. Allow me to take your place!"

Before he even arrived, Kong Xuan's voice could be heard.

"Kong Xuan, well done!"

Tailuan couldn't help but cheer for Kong Xuan.

In reality, only Deng Jiugong and Kong Xuan himself knew that Deng Jiugong had asked Kong Xuan to fight.

Now that Deng Jiugong had been defeated in one exchange, Kong Xuan stepping in to fight was a way to relieve him of his predicament.

Tailuan knew that Yang Jian had previously injured their young lady with his hounds, so Yang Jian's strength could only be greater.

And, after their lord had fought a great battle and was about to face Jiang Ziya's relentless assaults, Kong Xuan stepping in to relieve the Marshal was indeed commendable.

Regardless of whether Kong Xuan was deliberately trying to impress their Marshal, the act of stepping in to relieve him had changed Tailuan's perception of Kong Xuan somewhat.

Seeing Kong Xuan gallop forward majestically on his horse, Deng Jiugong was stunned.

It was said that the Great Emperor's galloping arrival had become a laughingstock.

For Kong Xuan, a Quasi-Saint expert, to ride a horse to conceal his identity was quite low-key.

However, in the great war between Shang and Zhou, the camp was mostly filled with ordinary generals, and fighting on horseback was quite normal.

Deng Jiugong's own daughter, Deng Chanyu, had a fierce horse as her mount.

Now, Kong Xuan galloping forward on his warhorse was a normal sight to others.

Yet, to Deng Jiugong, Kong Xuan's entrance seemed somewhat peculiar!

However, Kong Xuan was sure to be invincible in battle!

"Who goes there?"

Seeing Kong Xuan gallop forward on his horse, Yang Jian asked.

"I am Kong Xuan, a general under Marshal Deng!"

Kong Xuan announced his name with great modesty.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Zhou camp was taken aback.
