A Little Skill in Unarmed Combat

Though he spoke lightly, the divine body dared not underestimate the City God in the slightest.

After all, with a divine body, a mortal body, and Lord of Du Mountain combined, they only managed to inflict moderate injuries on the City God, and mostly just made him lose face.

To inflict a fatal wound, you either need to slowly whittle it down, accumulating damage little by little.

It would probably require a divine body to use four or even five Mystic Lightning Array.

However, given his current ability to control the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, he could indeed use it, but whether he could hit the City God was another matter entirely.

For safety's sake, at least the City God's ability to move should be restricted.

However, fortunately, with Lord of Du Mountain's flying maneuverability as an aid, the advantage still lies with Yin Yunze.

"By law, flying is prohibited in this area!"

Just as Yin Yunze was thinking this, the resentful voice of the City God suddenly came from the ravine.

Following this decree, both divine and mortal beings felt a sudden weight on their bodies.

It was as if their bodies had suddenly turned into blocks of iron, and the power of the wind and snow could no longer support them.

Lord of Du Mountain, whose divine and mortal forms were standing beneath his feet, plummeted directly to the ground.

Although Lord of Du Mountain desperately flapped its wings and used its Authority over Storms to whip up a gale to wrap around its body, it only slowed down its descent somewhat, but was unable to maintain flight.

"The law prohibits this place!"

Just as the fox, the human, and the tiger were filled with surprise and doubt because of this situation, a second decree came from the ground.

With this second command, both the divine body and the mortal body felt as if both the Authority over Frost and Snow and the Earth Vein Power were being imprisoned.

Although it can circulate within the body, it cannot be propelled outwards.

The Power of Incense Offerings is unaffected by this, but once it is transformed into any Law Technique, that Law Technique will inevitably dissipate and become invisible.

The seven Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag coiled around the divine body did not immediately lose their divine power, but they were about to fall.

Upon seeing this, the divine body immediately understood.

Faced with this decree, it wasn't that the Black Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag was ineffective, but rather that the divine body hindered its performance.

Seeing that it could not be used effectively, the divine body chose to recall the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag to the real world.

Fortunately, the extraordinary nature of the Great Gate of Incense seems to be above this law.

Lord of Du Mountain's situation was no better than Yin Yunze's; the Authority over Storms was also rendered unusable under this decree.

With just the flapping of his wings, Lord of Du Mountain couldn't even support his own weight, let alone carry his divine body and mortal body.

After only a slight circling and adjustment of their positions, the three landed on the ground.

Fortunately, none of the three were ordinary people in the traditional sense. Falling from that height of tens of meters, they were only slightly disheveled and unharmed.

However, the divine body sensed something was wrong with this strange situation.

Not to mention that they are both County God- level deities, the County City God has absolutely no jurisdiction over her, the Primordial Lady of the Azure Heavens.

Lord of Du Mountain is not a deity of Qingling County at all, and is certainly not someone the County City God can control.

"This is the decree of the Prefectural City God."

It was at this moment that Lord of Du Mountain, who had more experience as a god, finally cleared up the doubts about the divine body.

If these are decrees of the Prefectural City God, then that's normal. But why would County City God have decrees of the Prefectural City God?

Upon hearing Lord of Du Mountain's words, the divine body, having understood their meaning, couldn't help but feel somewhat worried.

"I'm afraid this is a reward the County City God received from the Prefectural City God! There probably aren't many of these laws!" However, Lord of Du Mountain quickly added, "Don't worry too much, these laws also apply to the County City God!"

"Even if the same conditions apply, the inability to fly and use Law Technique is a huge disadvantage for us!"

It's obvious that the County City God chose to use these two decrees because he had an advantage over them.

After thinking about it for a moment, the mortal body was still puzzled. "But why doesn't he use it directly on us?!"

"I would like to as well! Unfortunately, the Prefect has not granted me that authority—"

At this moment, a voice rang out from a dozen meters in front of the mortal body; it was the County City God, who had already returned to his normal size.

Clearly, Lord of Du Mountain was right; this law also applies to the City God.

Under the same restrictions, even the County City God could no longer maintain his enormous body, which was over a hundred meters tall.

At this moment, the County City God still held a palm-sized purple command flag in his hand.

Looking at Yin Yunze and Lord of Du Mountain, the County City God's face twisted into a grimace as he gritted his teeth and said, "You beasts! You actually dared to waste the three decrees I obtained from the prefect!"

Upon hearing the County City God's words, the mortal immediately tensed up. He secretly wondered what the County City God's third decree would be!

The City God, without any hesitation, immediately issued the third decree.

"By law! Transformation forbidden here!"

Upon hearing this decree, the divine body involuntarily transformed from the human form of the Nine-Tailed Fox girl into a gigantic Nine-Tailed White Fox several meters tall.

Sensing the changes within himself, the divine body felt a jolt of alarm, realizing something was wrong.

Only now did the divine body understand the wickedness of these three decrees.

The no-fly zone eliminated Yin Yunze's fastest means of escape.

The forbidden technique effectively nullified Yin Yunze's strongest attack method.

Faced with the three options posed by Yin Yunze and Lord of Du Mountain, the City God's authority was clearly not in a dominant position.

As for the final forbidden Transformation, it further weakened Yin Yunze's means of resistance.

It wasn't just aimed at Yin Yunze, but also at the lesser demons under his Yin Yunze.

Clearly, the City God had also seen the weapons that Yin Yunze had given to the lesser demons.

With magic and Transformation forbidden, very few lesser demons can still use firearms relying solely on their beast forms.

Just as the divine body was aching from this sudden disadvantage, Lord of Du Mountain looked at the City God and growled in a low voice, "You think you've won by making us reveal our true forms and be unable to use Law Technique? In the end, you're nothing more than a mere human!"

As he spoke, Lord of Du Mountain pushed off with his feet and flew directly towards the City God.

In just one breath, he traversed a distance of more than ten meters and arrived in front of the City God.

Raising its front paw, Lord of Du Mountain slammed it down hard on the City God's head.

However, instead of retreating, the City God advanced, pressing himself against Lord of Du Mountain 'Lord of Du Mountain chest. By doing so, he managed to dodge Lord of Du Mountain's strike.

Moreover, the City God's action was not merely an attempt to evade.

As he drew close to Du Shanjun, the City God delivered an elbow strike, using his body as a shield. However, by simultaneously using Lord of Du Mountain's impact and his elbow strike, he inflicted damage on Lord of Du Mountain many times over.

After stopping Lord of Du Mountain with an elbow strike, the City God immediately switched from elbow to fist.

He landed a hook punch on Lord of Du Mountain's chest, then spun around and switched to an elbow strike and hook punch on the other side.

In just two breaths, the City God delivered more than ten heavy punches to Lord of Du Mountain's chest.

With the final two punches delivered simultaneously, Lord of Du Mountain, who weighed over several thousand pounds, was sent flying several meters backward by the City God.

This scene left both the divine and mortal bodies stunned.

The City God waved his hand, looked at them coldly, and said, "Before I became the City God, I also knew a little bit of martial arts!"

"Cough cough cough----" It's fortunate that he was born a different species, with thick skin and tough flesh.

Despite taking more than ten punches from the City God, and even being sent flying, Lord of Du Mountain was not seriously injured.

However, this encounter also made Lord of Du Mountain realize something.

Getting up from the ground, Lord of Du Mountain said in a muffled voice, "Qingnü, I think I can't beat him!"

"You beasts, how dare you challenge me—"

The City God was about to say something more when he suddenly froze upon seeing the mortal form, "You... how can you Transformation?!"

Unlike its original form as Nine-Tailed White Fox, its mortal body still retains its human form.

If we really have to point out a difference, it's that the fox ears on her head and the nine tails behind her have disappeared, turning her into a completely white-haired girl.

"Perhaps it's because I'm actually human!"

Looking at the City God, Fan Ti shrugged and stated a fact that the City God did not believe at all.

"If you are human, then I am Innate Holy Spirit!"

Looking at her mortal form, the City God was not surprised that he did not believe her words.

Although the City God wasn't surprised that Yin Yunze had two bodies, he simply considered it a backup plan prepared by a master for Yin Yunze.

However, when Yin Yunze claimed to be human, the City God didn't believe him at all.

After all, anyone with eyes can see that this mortal body is merely an avatar, while the Nine-Tailed White Fox Innate Holy Spirit is the true form.

Moreover, how could a human possibly transform into Nine-Tailed White Fox?

The City God simply considered this mortal incarnation as somewhat special.

"Leave the rest to me!"

After speaking to the divine body, the mortal body then said to Lord of Du Mountain, "Next, please take a look at my body."

Lord of Du Mountain has already proven that, when neither strength nor speed is an advantage, the massive beast body is actually at a disadvantage when facing the City God.

Moreover, the mortals also suspected that the City God might have ulterior motives for forcing them to reveal their true forms.

After returning all his consciousness to his mortal body, Yin Yunze waved his hand, and Guo Jing made Pure Fox Robe, which Yin Yunze put on.

At the same time, the Demon-Summoning Banner and the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber also appeared in Yin Yunze's right and left hands.

Holding a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right, Yin Yunze took a deep breath, pushed off with his feet, and launched the first attack.

Arriving directly in front of the City God, Yin Yunze first used the Demon-Summoning Banner as a spear, infusing the spearhead with the Power of Frost and Snow, and then thrust it straight at the City God's chest without any fancy moves.

As for Yin Yunze's thrust, the City God remained calm and waited until the spear was almost upon him before dodging to the side at the last second.

Without giving Yin Yunze a chance to change his move, he reached out and pulled the Demon-Summoning Banner.

As the City God pulled Yin Yunze towards him, he also lunged straight at Yin Yunze's face.

Despite his unsteady stance, Yin Yunze used the momentum to wield the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber in his left hand and unleash the Six Proud Cold Techniques.

Compared to this rather perfunctory marksmanship, the Six Proud Cold Techniques, evolved from the Returning Wind Saber, instantly unleashed a waterfall of silvery blade light.

The City God hadn't expected that Yin Yunze's preferred weapon, the gun, was actually a trap; his real killing move was the knife in his left hand. This act of closing the distance actually gave Yin Yunze an opportunity to unleash his power.

Although the City God tried his best to parry, he was somewhat overwhelmed by the sharpness of the long sword.

After a brief exchange, Yin Yunze's Six Proud Cold Techniques proved superior, as he directly slashed at the City God's head.

If the longsword, imbued with internal energy and the Power of Frost and Snow, were to truly strike, even City God in spirit form would suffer a severe injury.

Just as the sword was about to strike, Yin Yunze felt a flash of cold light before his eyes. A long sword had appeared in the City God's hand.

As he forcefully deflected Yin Yunze's attack, the City God simultaneously thrust his longsword toward Yin Yunze's face.

By leaning back to dodge the City God's thrust, Yin Yunze followed up with a Wind God Leg aimed at the City God's lower body.

The City God blocked with his left hand and crossed his legs, thus stopping Yin Yunze's kick.

At the same time, his left hand went from blocking to grabbing, attempting to directly seize Yin Yunze.

In response, Yin Yunze gripped the spear of the Demon-Summoning Banner and struck the City God's head hard, forcing him to change his move to defend himself.

After a dazzling and extremely dangerous close-quarters combat sequence that left onlookers bewildered,

Yin Yunze, at the cost of having his Demon-Summoning Banner taken by the City God, left a scratch on the City God's neck before fleeing the battlefield.

The City God did not press his advantage. Instead, he first sealed the magical power of the Demon-Summoning Banner, and then threw the disobedient Demon-Summoning Banner far away into the ditch created by Yin Yunze.

At the very least, if the ban isn't lifted, Yin Yunze won't be able to obtain the Demon-Summoning Banner for a while.

At first glance, it seems that both sides have gained something, and judging from the fact that the City God was injured, Yin Yunze seems to have gained some advantage.

However, with careful observation, one can see that the City God is much more at ease.

Yin Yunze's hands were trembling slightly at this moment.

If he weren't truly powerless to catch it, why would Yin Yunze let the Demon-Summoning Banner slip through his fingers?

After this exchange, Yin Yunze discovered that the City God's strength far exceeded hers.

Furthermore, it is slightly more flexible.

If Yin Yunze hadn't been able to rely on the defense of his Pure Fox Robe to exchange injuries and leave a wound on the City God's neck, the battle would probably have been much worse.

At the same time, Yin Yunze finally understood why the City God was associated with those three laws.

According to the City God's plan, after banning flying, magic, and Transformation, demon gods like Yin Yunze would only be able to fight against the City God with their physical bodies and his sword.

But no matter how strong the physical body is, how can it withstand the sharpness of a precious sword?

In particular, in order to trick Yin Yunze, the City God only used fists and feet when fighting Lord of Du Mountain.

If you truly believe you have the advantage in fists and feet, and think you're tough and reckless enough to use your animalistic body to fight back.

It's likely that by the time the City God suddenly pulls out his sword, Yin Yunze will have been chopped into pieces.

Even in the same physical confrontation, Yin Yunze's weakness—his foundation was not as deep—was exposed.

After realizing this, the City God stopped competing with Yin Yunze in agility and instead engaged in a real battle of brute force.

That's why Yin Yunze's hands are trembling slightly right now.

Adjusting his breathing, Yin Yunze knew he couldn't continue like this.

Even with the initial defense provided by the Pure Fox Robe, Yin Yunze managed to gain a slight advantage.

But in the long run, Yin Yunze will definitely be the one to lose.

Having made a decision in his heart, Yin Yunze switched the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber from his left hand to his right, gripped it tightly, and launched another attack on the City God.

"Neither a gun nor a knife is a match for me; all you have now is a knife—"

Seeing Yin Yunze charging forward again, the City God spoke words meant to distract Yin Yunze, but he was actually on high alert.

As Yin Yunze and the City God clashed again, a ping-pong ball-like sound rang out.

Yin Yunze seized an opportunity during a lull and extended his left hand, seemingly gently brushing it towards the City God's neck.

Having already been tricked once, the City God was naturally wary of Yin Yunze's attack from his left hand.

Upon discovering that Yin Yunze was using the Spring Breeze Brushes Clouds Hand, the City God immediately used his left hand to shield his neck.

Unexpectedly, the City God's reaction fell right into Yin Yunze's trap.

Yin Yunze changed his left-hand technique, switching to a grappling method and seizing the City God's left wrist pulse point.

While the City God was distracted by this turn of events, Yin Yunze also feinted with his right hand and released the Pure Scenery Ruyi Saber.

Just as the City God misjudged the situation and exhausted his strength, I used the same Spring Breeze Brushes Clouds Hand to seize the City God's right hand.

As Yin Yunze grabbed the City God's left and right hands, the Pure Fox Robe Yin Yunze wore flew off his body and landed on the City God Yin Yunze, Yin Yunze to his will.

When it came to the City God, the Pure Fox Robe was not as gentle as it had been when he first opened his eyes and put it on. Like a python, the Pure Fox Robe kept tightening its size. As the Pure Fox Robe tightened, it made the City God look thinner and thinner.

Dried human
