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

Both options are quite good!

In the original history, the Great Shang soldiers fighting against Xiqi almost always captured their enemies alive instead of killing them. They would be overjoyed just to win and capture an opponent.

However, the enemy generals they captured were always rescued by the other side, like letting a tiger return to the mountains.

On the contrary, any of their own generals who were defeated were unhesitatingly executed by the enemy.

At this moment, of the two options presented by the System, Deng Jiugong leaned towards killing the Dragon Beard Tiger, but he also didn't want to miss out on that Innate Spirit Fruit.

"Choose both!"

Deng Jiugong thought to himself.

"Ding dong, the host has made a choice. Rewards will be granted upon fulfillment!"

As the System's prompt sounded, Deng Jiugong couldn't help but feel happy.

He had originally just tried his luck, not expecting that multiple choices would actually be possible.

However, if the two options contradicted each other, he would only be able to choose one.

"Dragon Beard Tiger, is it!"

"Since that Jiang Shang sent you here to die, this Marshal will not be polite!"

As Deng Jiugong spoke, he took out his Crimson Copper Saber.

Deng Jiugong was known for his Blade Technique is Godlike, precisely because his long saber possessed the power to threaten Immortals.

This Crimson Copper Saber had been with Deng Jiugong for many years. In the past, Deng Jiugong had not been able to unleash its full power.

This was because the Crimson Copper Saber was actually a Low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure.

In the Primordial Era, Magic Treasures were categorized into Unranked, Ranked, Acquired Spirit Treasures, and Innate Spirit Treasures.

Generally, Unranked magic treasures were merely cold weapons, their effects being most useful against mortals with some cultivation.

As for Ranked magic treasures, they were primarily effective against mortals at the Refining Void and Merging with Dao level and below, possessing powerful destructive capabilities and posing some threat to Immortals with low cultivation.

Such magic treasures, by their very nature, could not harm Immortals with high cultivation.

However, Deng Jiugong's Crimson Copper Saber was a Low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure. Even a mortal wielding it could fight against an Immortal.

This was also the main reason why Deng Jiugong, who was originally just a mortal, could fight against Immortals with the Crimson Copper Saber in his hand.

And because of this, he had the saying "Blade Technique is Godlike."

At this moment, facing the Dragon Beard Tiger, Deng Jiugong took out his Crimson Copper Saber, as if preparing to fight him to the death.

"Deng Jiugong, die!"

Just then, the Dragon Beard Tiger's eyes flashed with golden light. Hopping on one leg, he attacked Deng Jiugong.

Before the Dragon Beard Tiger even reached Deng Jiugong, he exerted force with both hands, like a hook and spear. Mana surged from them, and a millstone-sized boulder was hurled towards Deng Jiugong.

Deng Jiugong raised his saber and slashed directly down.

BOOM!

The moment the Crimson Copper Saber touched the millstone-sized boulder, it cut straight through the middle. The cut surface was so smooth that the Dragon Beard Tiger was stunned.

However, in the next moment, before the Dragon Beard Tiger could react, Deng Jiugong's saber strike landed on his arm.

SWISH!

An arm fell to the ground, blood splattering. To the Dragon Beard Tiger's astonished gaze, one of his hands was directly severed by Deng Jiugong.

A wave of pain washed over him, and the Dragon Beard Tiger let out a piercing scream.

Knowing he was no match for Deng Jiugong, the Dragon Beard Tiger, now on one leg, attempted to flee.

SWISH!

Just then, Deng Jiugong's saber strike severed the Dragon Beard Tiger's remaining leg. Blood splattered, and the Dragon Beard Tiger cried out in agony.

Having already lost one leg, and now having the other ruthlessly cut off by Deng Jiugong, the Dragon Beard Tiger was doomed.

"Deng Jiugong, you!!!"

Seeing this, Jiang Ziya's heart raced, and he was about to rush forward to save him.

The next moment!

Deng Jiugong's Crimson Copper Saber descended. With a lift of the blade, a head fell to the ground.

Deng Jiugong used three strikes to directly kill the Dragon Beard Tiger.

Clean and decisive!

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining an Innate Spirit Fruit!"

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Five Elements Great Escape Divine Ability Jade Slip!"

Just then, the System's prompt sounded in Deng Jiugong's mind.

WHOOSH!

Seeing Deng Jiugong's ferocity, everyone, whether from their own side or the enemy's, took a deep breath.

Deng Jiugong's strength has increased!

This was everyone's first reaction.

Blade Technique is Godlike, living up to its name.

"Father is so strong!"

Deng Chanyu couldn't help but exclaim.

She had fought Dragon Beard Tiger before, and Dragon Beard Tiger was definitely not as weak as he appeared.

The only explanation was that her father had become stronger.

"Marshal is mighty!"

In the Tang Camp, all the soldiers reacted and cheered.

At this moment, the morale of the Tang Camp surged once more.

Meanwhile, on Jiang Ziya's side, their morale plummeted.

Whether it was Nezha or Lei Zhenzi, they both took a deep breath.

They knew Dragon Beard Tiger's strength; even if they faced him, they wouldn't be able to defeat him so easily.

Previously, when Deng Jiugong was in command, during the first battle between the Tang and Western Zhou forces, Deng Jiugong had fought Huang Feihu. Nezha had sneak-attacked Deng Jiugong with the Universe Ring. At that time, Deng Jiugong was still injured by Nezha and was not this strong.

Deng Jiugong's strength had clearly improved now.

Afterward, Deng Chanyu avenged Deng Jiugong and injured Nezha.

Later, Yang Jian entered the fray. Relying on his Eight-Nine Arcane Art, Deng Chanyu was no match for him and was even bitten by the Heaven-Howling Dog.

Then, because the Tang Camp lacked experts, Tu Xingsun intervened, displayed his might, and even healed Deng Jiugong and Deng Chanyu's injuries.

However, the current Tu Xingsun had defected to Xiqi due to Juliusun's appearance, which led to this series of events.

But those were all in the past.

At this moment, seeing Deng Jiugong slay Dragon Beard Tiger, Jiang Ziya's eyes were filled with rage, as if he couldn't wait to personally strike down Deng Jiugong.

"Deng Jiugong, you actually killed my disciple, Dragon Beard Tiger!"

"We belong to opposing factions. Do you really think this marshal would show mercy?"

Deng Jiugong said calmly.

Through his fight with Dragon Beard Tiger, Deng Jiugong had gained some understanding of his own strength.

Although he only had Earth Immortal Realm Perfection cultivation, he could defeat those in the Heavenly Immortal Realm as easily as slicing vegetables.

This was even without him activating his techniques, relying solely on his innate physical strength.

In other words, his physical strength had far surpassed these so-called Heavenly Immortal Realm experts.

Even though he practiced the Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll, he had already understood the power of this technique in his battle with Dragon Beard Tiger.

Deng Jiugong guessed that if he unleashed his full power, he could probably defeat Immortals in the True Immortal Realm.

"The Pangu Divine Art is too powerful, and this is only the Mortal Scroll!"

Deng Jiugong thought to himself.

It was hard to imagine how formidable the techniques above the Mortal Scroll would be.

"Ziya, don't be rash. That Deng Jiugong is strange!"

Seeing that Jiang Ziya was about to make a move, Juliusun spoke.

"Senior Brother, with the God-Beating Whip in hand, can't I defeat Deng Jiugong?"

Jiang Ziya said.

"That Deng Jiugong is strange!"
