Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 819 819: Segmentation
Looking at the gazes of the five righteous deities, Immortal Ming Yue said solemnly: "Xiang Tiandi just showed the bloodline of the demon, do you still dare to let him go down and act?"
The righteous deities exchanged glances, and Tianjun Si Yi knew that if Xiang Tiandi took action now, it might greatly stimulate Ming Yue, leading to a battle between the two sides.
Although they may not fear the other side, if a war breaks out with the immortals, they probably won't be able to catch Li Xiuzhu and Zhou Bai. Continuing to let Li Xiuzhu and Zhou Bai grow now will cause chaos in the world, which is not in their interest.
Thinking that the four of them were enough to capture Li Xiuzhu and Zhou Bai, and Xiang Tiandi's battle strength had decreased since the Nine Heavens Demon Clearing Thunder Technique was taken away, whether he went down or not wasn't important.
So Tianjun Si Yi said, "No problem, then I'll leave the Sweeping Demon Marshal to you all, please ensure his safety."
Watching the four righteous deities leave and Xiang Tiandi stay behind, Immortal Ming Yue eagerly transmitted a message: "Spiritual Ghost Slayer, I was right about you, not a single demon can escape, when shall we act?"
At this moment, a few words had separated Xiang Tiandi's combat power from the other four righteous deities, making Immortal Ming Yue unable to resist the urge to act.
Spiritual Ghost Slayer transmitted expressionlessly: "No rush, Li Xiuzhu made such a big scene and prepared for the Heavenly Arena, I don't believe he doesn't have a backup plan. And Zhou Bai, his strength is witnessed by both of us, already able to contend against Tianjun Si Yi or Fan Ming.
Also, never underestimate Xiang Tiandi. If he truly has the bloodline of the demon and can transform into a demon form, it means the strength he usually shows, even the strength exposed in the Heavenly Arena, is not his peak battle strength."
Saying this, he glanced at Xiang Tiandi, who was resting with closed eyes, and continued transmitting: "Xiang Tiandi is already seizing time to retrain in Taoist techniques, we should also hurry, recover as much strength as we can."
At this moment, Spiritual Ghost Slayer, after experiencing the battle of the Heavenly Arena, no longer faced Zhou Bai and Li Xiuzhu with an arrogant attitude but with a more equal one.
These two, in his eyes, already had the status to rival immortals and gods.
It can be said that he gained something from the battle at the Heavenly Arena, at least shattering some arrogance in his heart, changing some of his ideas and strategies.
If Immortal Ming Yue's biggest gain from the Heavenly Arena battle was anger, the mental state of Xiang Tiandi and Spiritual Ghost Slayer had undergone another level of complex change.
After all, they are men of great courage who became gods and immortals after enduring hundreds of hardships. Anything that can't kill them will only make their minds stronger.
Meanwhile, Li Xiuzhu and Qian Wangsun, who were resisting the thousands of cultivators, suddenly felt chills on their scalps, as a condensed pressure descended from the sky, enveloping them.
The surrounding cultivators frenziedly retreated, encircling the three of Li Xiuzhu without making a move, leaving the battlefield entirely to the righteous deities.
At the same time, watching the arrival of the righteous deities, cries of astonishment rang out from the crowd.
"Tianjun Si Yi is here!"
"It's Jiu Xiao Marshal!"
"Kill Zhou Bai! Kill Li Xiuzhu!"
"Immortals are not to be humiliated!"
Seeing the wild, excited, and passionate expressions on the faces of the cultivators from the heavenly court, Qian Wangsun bitterly smiled and said: "Haven't they already witnessed the truth? Why do they still act like this?"
Li Xiuzhu said lightly: "The hardest thing for people is to admit their mistakes and change their preconceived notions, especially if the mistake has persisted for years, decades, or even hundreds of years."
"They don't lack knowledge of right and wrong, nor do they not know that Xiang Tiandi might be a demon, they just can't let go of the glory, power, and vision brought by the heavenly court."
"Sometimes, making someone admit they're wrong is harder than killing them."
Li Xiuzhu looked at Zhou Bai, who was still absorbing Taoist techniques and martial arts, and smiled faintly: 'Originally prepared for myself, but it's good that Zhou Bai is absorbing these techniques and martial arts, absorb as much as you can, the stronger you are, the better for what follows.'
Qian Wangsun looked at the four figures in the sky like dazzling suns and showed an extremely tense expression: "What else do you have prepared? Those four guys coming down from the sky aren't easy to deal with."
The four righteous deities, among them Tianjun Si Yi and Jiu Xiao Marshal are top-tier strength among the righteous deities, any one of them could easily defeat Qian Wangsun.
The aura of the four was overwhelming, pressing down on Qian Wangsun, making him nearly feel suffocated.
Qian Wangsun moaned inwardly: "Too strong, watching the battle and facing these immortals and gods head-on is entirely different. How does Zhou Bai even fight these monsters?"
"You guard Zhou Bai, I'll go up and meet them."
"Ah?" Qian Wangsun was startled, and the next moment he saw Li Xiuzhu straightening his back, unfolding a pair of dragon wings, and heading up to greet the four righteous deities descending from the sky.
Watching Li Xiuzhu face the four righteous deities alone, looking at the silhouette that seemed slightly lonely and desolate, Qian Wangsun sighed inwardly, feeling a bit sorrowful.
Simultaneously, his body slightly expanded, sprouting a layer of white beast fur, activating the demon bloodline within him, his eyes fixed closely on the battlefield in the sky.
Tianjun Si Yi coldly looked at Li Xiuzhu and said lightly: "You catch him, I'll go capture Zhou Bai."
After speaking, the girl-like Tianjun Si Yi waved her hands, a swathe of black clouds mixed with countless souls dragged her flying towards Zhou Bai.
Marshal Jiu Xiao Fan Ming, True Lord Tan Lang, and True Lord Yan encircled Li Xiuzhu, and the latter two immediately attacked, waves of brilliant starlight and a dark green poison cloud swept towards Li Xiuzhu.
True Lord Tan Lang is a righteous deity of the Fighting Department, famous for his skill in walking through stars and stepping on the Dou Technique. He was seen stepping on stars, pinching Taoist techniques, quickly rolling up starlight and transforming into Star Fighting Warriors hundreds of meters high, wielding mountain-moving power, executing martial techniques, and bombarding Li Xiuzhu.
On the other side, True Lord Yan from the Plague Department was skilled in poison techniques and Gu techniques, and when he struck, it was with a sky full of poison clouds, the dark green clouds sparkling with gold, which contained one hundred thousand and eight hundred Unihorn Golden Winged Gu he had painstakingly trained for hundreds of years, each capable of swallowing Primordial Spirit force and gnawing Blood Talisman Immortal Steel.
No matter the opponent, the swarm would engulf them directly, even armor of the ninth realm would be bitten to scrap iron in the blink of an eye.
As for Fan Ming, he did not take action; he just stood aside with his arms crossed, coldly watching the unfolding battle.
Jiu Xiao Marshal of the Thunder Department disdained joining other righteous deities to besiege a mere mortal.
