The Corpse Stirs

Among their small group, Hu Mang was the one they least needed to worry about.

Then there are Old Chen and Zhou Yu. Old Chen has a heretical old monster and half Prison-Subduing Official as his bodyguards, while Zhou Yu himself is the other half of Prison-Subduing Official.

Besides that, there's Zhou Tong, this round-faced little girl. She's the most worrying because if the Judgment of Righteousness and Devilry falls on her, it will most likely be a life-or-death crisis.

Because in this Demon-Subduing City today, ordinary Rogue Cultivator have basically all died out, and those who remain are all remnants of the Divine Dynasty.

This is probably why Zhou Yu, even though his eating manners were unseemly, still prepared several high-quality Law Artifact for his younger sister.

We're all shrewd people; there's no need to say too much.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yu asked again, "Did the old man go out again?"

"Um.

The old man didn't want to leave, after all, civil engineering is hard work, and he was so busy last night that his legs were weak.

But after seeing the tremendous changes in the Demon-Subduing City during the day, with even demonic tribulation clouds appearing, he thought it over and over and decided that at worst, he could just work hard for the next few days to get things sorted out, and everyone would have a trump card up their sleeve.

As for Hu Mang, as Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier, he is somewhat of a variable, and now countless eyes are watching him.

If he goes out frequently, he will easily be targeted.

So the old man thought about it for a long time and decided that he had to do it himself.

After all, with "Turbid Sha Old Man" protecting them, safety is not an issue.

Zhou Yu could somewhat guess that Hu Mang and Old Man Chen must have a plan.

"I heard from Old Master Chen that you encountered the Devil-Slaying Bladesman last night?" Zhou Yu added, "You've been his opponent before, haven't you?"

"Hmm, his swordsmanship has weakened considerably compared to before."

"Is it because of the devouring of divine authority?" Zhou Yu asked again.

Hu Mang glanced at the other person in surprise.

"Perhaps."

But the bigger reason was that the old Devil-Slaying Bladesman's consciousness was shattered by the Yang Lightning, leaving only Jiang Kaiming's consciousness.

The same swordsmanship, in the hands of different people, has completely different levels of power.

"So, the merging of divine offices is a means for the remnants of the divine dynasty to rapidly increase their strength, is that right?" Zhou Yu pressed.

"Of course, otherwise why would the Thunder God cause trouble as soon as he was born?" Hu Mang looked ahead, already knowing what the other person was going to say.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "If it really comes to a critical moment, you can take over my Prison-Subduing Official." Anyway, without Old Master Chen, I would never have been able to wield such power in my lifetime.

In most cases, the merger of clergy usually ends with the death of one party.

Clearly, this sister-obsessed man has made up his mind about something.

"OK."

Hu Mang answered crisply and decisively.

Zhou Yu wanted to say something more, but Hu Mang raised his chin.

"Look, an old acquaintance."

Zhou Yu was taken aback. He looked ahead and his expression suddenly changed. In the midst of the churning demonic tide, he saw a familiar figure standing there.

That pale face.

The triangular shape conceals its sharpness, the three white lines reveal its power, the eyes gleam with golden light, and its nature is fierce and ruthless.

Gong Lei!!

That being who resembles a female Thunder God.

Dressed in white and barefoot, she stood amidst the shadowy figures, looking up at the two people on the rooftop.

Almost at the same moment the other party looked over, two powerful divine lights exploded on the spot.

Without hesitation or reservation, the Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier and the Prison-Subduing Official unleashed their full power at that moment, the two most powerful divine positions simultaneously.

The crimson-gold demon-subduing divine light and the dark prison-suppressing divine light intertwined and rose, forming two pillars of light above the roof that shot straight into the sky, pushing away all the surrounding Demonic Qi.

The air sizzled under the scorching divine light, and the Devil Creature on the ground let out mournful howls as they retreated.

This display of power was solely due to a single glance from the other party.

Meanwhile, at another place where demons were suppressed, Old Chen, with his hands and mouth covered in spiritual energy pipes, looked in this direction with surprise, then turned to look at the raging inferno of the Turbid Sha Old Man.

"Half Prison-Subduing Official" isn't enough; do we need the full "Prison-Subduing Official"?

What kind of enemy did this kid encounter this week?

Although he exuded an unprecedented aura, beads of sweat slid down Zhou Yu's face and evaporated, yet he still dared not blink.

He knew how formidable the woman in front of him was.

As for Hu, he knew even better, since he had almost been instantly killed by the other party before.

Hu Mang squinted at his opponent, his pupils already bulging, his hand rubbing the gun barrel, ready to open his eyes at any moment.

"How did she end up here? Didn't that Thunder Sect try to deal with her?" Zhou Yu asked hoarsely.

If he remembered correctly, he had already informed the other side of Gong Lei's whereabouts. Logically speaking, shouldn't those righteous people have taken advantage of the situation and dealt with this incarnation of the Thunder God first?

"That's a good question," Hu Mang said calmly. "The person involved is right in front of you; you can ask her."

"Can the two of us clergy, working together and taking advantage of this location, hold off the enemy?"

"I'm fine, do you have a problem?"

Zhou Yu really wanted to reply, "He definitely has a problem."

But he's so nervous he can't say a word.

Hu Mang, however, felt that there was still a chance. Putting aside everything else, just the fact that there were two top-level divine positions was equivalent to two Golden Core.

In addition, the location here is advantageous.

When it really comes down to it, you'll be amazed.

If the auras of the two realms cancel each other out, the opponent's true level is only a Golden Core Late Stage.

Besides his clergy, he also has some other skills.

Let's split it 30/70.

My side has 30%.

Unexpectedly, the mysterious woman Gong Lei only glanced at the two of them for a moment before turning and leaving, her figure slowly disappearing into the demonic tide.

Zhou Yu swayed, almost falling over.

Hu Mang's expression didn't change much, but he suddenly had a whimsical idea.

"If you can borrow the Prison-Subduing Official divine authority of the Turbid Sha Old Man in a short time, can you also borrow his Five Turbidities Great Method?"

Zhou Yu was stunned; he had never heard of such an operation before.

"Alright, now that you're back, it's your turn to guard the gate. I'm leaving now."

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask. To be honest, he was a little scared to be alone right now.

What if they come back with a vengeance?

"Go pee, and while you're at it, sharpen my weapon and check if that Thunderfire Furnace is any good. Just call me if you need anything."

Hu Mang replied without turning his head.

What Hu Mang said wasn't entirely a lie, because the most valuable thing in the entire Tempering Treasury was actually the Thunderfire Furnace that couldn't be moved.

--

According to the Jade Firmament Divine Dynasty's positioning of this Demon-Subduing City, it served as a military prison and warehouse. Besides storing weapons, the warehouse's primary function was to sharpen them.

He returned last night and has been waiting until this morning, but he hasn't even had a chance to catch Cuifeng.

Hu Mang walked to the Thunderfire Furnace, and the Shattering Thunder in his hand transformed into a bolt of lightning that fell into the furnace, the tip of the spear plunging directly into the bottom of the furnace.

The tip of the spear visibly turned red and hot, and wisps of blue smoke rose from it.

Several people had tested the furnace before, and basically, as long as the materials weren't too bad, there wouldn't be any problems with sharpening it, and it wouldn't melt on the spot.

But this furnace was ultimately used to sharpen large quantities of military equipment.

It's unrealistic to expect it to be very effective.

At most, you can only stack up to +1 Sharpness; you won't get any special effects.

However, Hu Mang didn't actually come here just to temper the Immortal Weapon.

After closing the outer door, Hu Mang took the fragment off his neck and threw it into the Thunderfire Furnace. About half an hour later, Hu Mang grabbed the fully charged fragment back into his hand. Then, with a flash of light, his figure vanished without a trace.

The female general's skeleton, which had lost its face and even had several cracks on its face, suddenly grabbed back and wedged the spear with its tiger's mouth.

Hu Mang was unaware of the female general's "resurrection" and was teleported back to Heavenly Gate once again.

Moreover, it was the location of the last teleportation, inside the Artificial Lightning Tribulation Tower.

Fortunately, Doctor Sun was delayed in returning due to his graduation defense, Artificial Lightning Tribulation Tower was left unattended. Hu Mang directly stormed out of the Hundred Herbs Spirit Hall and headed straight for his hometown.

He'll take the batch of smart motors he ordered back with him.

At that time, we can calmly sit back and watch the tigers fight.

At least it won't be a two-on-one battle where even with the advantage of terrain, the chances of winning are only 30%.

When Hu Mang returned to the entrance of his old neighborhood, Azure Cloud Lane, he saw a military-grade Law Artifact parked on the street.

Military Law Artifact?

It looks like a heavy flying shuttle, but on its surface, the Hu Mang can see at least four spirit energy flying cannons, as well as a Divine Sense positioning version of the Ten Thousand Mile Demon-Shooting Crossbow on top.

"Are there any soldiers in our neighborhood?"

Hu Mang thought in surprise.

Then, the shuttle door was pushed open with a thud, and a girl in military uniform, a cigarette dangling from her lips, plopped down on the threshold in a standard civil engineering squat. Her large eyes were half-closed, clearly enjoying the old smoker's pleasure.

Ha?

Hu Mang was slightly taken aback, but he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he turned around and headed straight for Uncle Ma's old warehouse.

Uncle Ma has disappeared somewhere; he's probably playing chess with that old monk on the street again. Luckily, he has a spare key to the old warehouse.

As soon as the gate was opened, more than a dozen water tank-sized electric converters were neatly placed in the warehouse.

Most of the money he borrowed from Boss Gu was spent on this.

It's only thanks to the downturn in the civil engineering industry these past two years that these engineering Law Artifact are so cheap. Not to mention, even three years ago, these things would have cost at least two million.

Hu Mang once again pulled out a series of Storage Bag. These were ordinary, low-grade Storage Bag, only half the size of a woodshed, and each Storage Bag was just the right size to hold a conversion machine.

He quickly finished moving all of these things.

Hu Mang then installed the Spirit Crystal Deconstructor that Old Fifth had left him. With this thing, it would be much easier for him to travel through time in the future.

He didn't even plan to go home; instead, he decided to find a place without cameras and travel back in time.

It's you!?

As he was about to leave, he heard a surprised voice.
