Chapter 40: Concealing Shame and Offering Tribute, Symbol of Military Law

  "Wang Guang, don't let me run into you again. If I do, I'll make sure to crush your bones and ashes, and imprison your soul forever." The female cultivator's face turned pale, and she jumped out of the circle repeatedly, tossing her black veil at Wang Guang. She herself had a slender waist that swayed as a wisp of black smoke emerged from her private parts, enveloping her body as she fled into the distance.

  With a flick of her hands, she grabbed the black veil and tried to tear it apart, but unexpectedly, there was a hidden mechanism in the black veil. As soon as her hands touched it, red powder scattered out.

  Who would have dared to let the red powder stand on its own? The strange mechanism was called Lianlian, and with a mouthful of cyan smoke, it spewed out a stream of cyan smoke that wrapped around the black gauze and red powder, sending them flying dozens of feet away. When the black gauze fell to the ground, the red powder spread out, and in an instant, all the grass and trees within a radius of three to five zhang that had fallen on the red powder withered and died.

  In the sky, several black smokes that lost the support of the female Qi-refining cultivator's magic instantly disappeared under the grinding of the copper ball transformed into a millstone. At this time, seeing that the female Qi-refining cultivator was escaping, Wang Guang put away the treasure in his waist bag. "You demon, don't try to escape, wait for me to capture you and interrogate you."

  He took the elixirs to speed up his recovery and fled in the direction of the female Qi practitioner, chasing after her with the Hundred Mile Flowing Light.

  Two people, one in front and one behind, but their speeds are almost the same.

  That female Qi practitioner didn't know what she was thinking, and instead of flying towards the desolate mountains and forests, she flew towards the imperial capital. Wang Guang saw that the other party was heading towards the imperial capital and suddenly understood her intentions.

  "Hah! You think that just because we're in a crowded area, I won't dare to make a move? Today, I'll tell you, no matter where you run, I'll still kill you!" Wang Guang burst into a sinister and crazy laughter. His hands moved rapidly, and he threw out one after another dark thunderbolt-like attacks at the female cultivator.

  The female Qi practitioner didn't pay any attention to Wang Guang, but instead kept releasing waves of black smoke that wrapped around him, trying to block his pursuit.

  In the imperial capital, the woman's black smoke churned and rolled, sometimes drilling into this house, sometimes drilling into that building. Wang Guang took down the gourd from his waist to continuously slap the bottom of the gourd, and the yin thunder he had already refined shot towards the place where the female cultivator was hiding.

  The entire imperial capital was suddenly bustling, with thunderous roars, fierce fires soaring, and toxic smoke rolling. For a time, it was unknown how many innocent civilians died under the dark lightning of Wang Guang, and even more houses were destroyed by his casual destruction.

  That female Qi practitioner never thought that Wang Guang's methods would be so vicious and evil, to the point of killing herself, yet he actually started using his Dao techniques recklessly in this imperial city. It's not known how many extraordinary talents are hidden within this imperial city, where tigers and dragons lie dormant, and there are also large numbers of emperors' guards surrounding the city for safety. If they were to truly provoke these people, even if three or five Dan masters came here, they would not be able to escape with their lives.

  Again, three or five shells exploded on a street, instantly destroying dozens of houses, with fierce fires raging in the air and injured civilians crying out in pain.

  "Haven't you stopped yet? Are you trying to get all of you beheaded by me?" A team of black armored knights appeared in front of Wang Guang and the female Qi practitioner, led by seven or eight Qi practitioners. Those Qi practitioners either threw out handkerchiefs or stones, and a bunch of magic treasures suddenly blocked the female Qi practitioner.

  The cavalrymen below also don't know what kind of bow and crossbow they used, only to see them bend their bows and set up arrows, hundreds of arrows turned into red light flowing towards Wang Guang and the female cultivator.

  Arrows pierced the air with a whistling sound, and the dense and numerous arrows made Wang Guang feel a strong sense of danger.

  "Don't stop me, I am Wang Guang, the imperial court's guardian. This demon wants to assassinate the emperor and didn't expect me to interrupt her, so she's escaping and trying to hide in the imperial city." Wang Guang took out a copper pellet, which was supported by his magical power, and instantly transformed into a three- to five-meter-long copper whip. He swung the whip, clanging it against the hundreds of arrows that were shot at him, blocking them all. Although he blocked the arrows, Wang Guang still felt numbness in his arm, as if some strange power was invading his sleeve through the copper whip.

  Wang Guang's nonsense suddenly enraged a female Qi practitioner not far away.

  "You wicked thief, you clearly want to kill and steal the treasure, but instead you splashed dirty water all over me. How cruel is your heart? I am also a royal tribute, and for the sake of obtaining the magical treasure, you don't care about anything, not only chasing and killing the royal tribute, but also indiscriminately slaughtering innocent civilians, how vicious and ruthless! The female cultivator wouldn't let Wang Guang make excuses. After secretly spraying black smoke to deflect the arrow, she quickly explained to the several cultivators who were blocking her way."

  The quarrel between the two men suddenly left the soldiers below and the practitioners in the sky bewildered.

  "Since we are all serving the imperial court, why must you take action? In my opinion, even if you do take action, you should choose a remote mountain or wilderness, so as not to disturb the imperial city and provoke the emperor's wrath. At that time, which of you two will be able to bear this responsibility?" A middle-aged cultivator said with furrowed brows.

  "But he's just a small emperor, I can kill him if I want to, or destroy him if I please. Why bother with his rage?" Wang Guang burst out laughing upon hearing this, for he had never taken these mortal emperors seriously. In the past, in the mundane world, he had slaughtered kings of nations many times over in order to obtain various martial arts scriptures, so even now that he was in the Practicing Qi world, he still didn't put these emperors in his eyes.

  "Everyone, have you seen? This demon is so disrespectful to the emperor, how can his words be true? He wants to kill me, snatch my body and play with it, and even torture me to get the cultivation method, and search for treasures on my body." The female cultivator heard Wang Guang's words and immediately became overjoyed. In her excitement, she pointed at Wang Guang and loudly scolded him.

  "Ga Ga!" Looking at the woman practitioner Wang Guang, who was wrapped in black smoke and only revealed her head, shouted loudly: "Talking nonsense is useless, all of you quickly leave. Today, I'll say it clearly, I want to kill someone, this woman must die for me. Whoever blocks my way will be against me."

  "We don't care why you're fighting, nor do we care about your grudges. However, within the imperial city, it is not allowed for Qi practitioners to engage in battles. Otherwise, don't blame us for not giving you any face." A young Qi practitioner pulled out an iron umbrella from behind his back, and as he opened it, a series of black winds emerged from inside. The black wind howled, sounding like the chirping of night birds, or the crying of children. Listening to it made one's heart feel uneasy.

  Seeing these few Qi practitioners all prepared to block himself, Wang Guang was suddenly extremely angry. However, in this situation, he really didn't dare to go up and fight with these few Qi practitioners at the same time, unless he didn't want to live anymore. Moreover, the hundreds of strange cavalrymen below also picked up their weapons, including spears, axes, crossbows, and ropes, looking like they just wanted to bring the two down from the sky and torture them thoroughly.

  "Despicable goods! Come out of the city and fight with me." Wang Guang snorted, patted the gourd again, and seven or eight dark thunders shot towards that female cultivator.

  The female Qi practitioner saw the dark thunderbolt approaching, but she just had a disdainful expression on her face. She didn't make a move either, and waited until the dark thunderbolt flew to mid-air, when three or five imperial attendants simultaneously took action to block it. Some used ropes to entangle the dark thunderbolt, while others used cloth bags to wrap it up. In an instant, seven or eight dark thunderbolts disappeared without making a sound, vanishing into thin air before Wang Guang's eyes.

  "Halt! You bird-like creature in the sky, aren't you going to come down and surrender quickly? Don't you put the Tianyu Imperial Court in your eyes?" Wang Guang was furious that his own Yin Lei had been taken away by an unrelated person. Just then, the shouting voice sounded again, and following the sound, he saw a burly soldier in full armor shouting loudly among the cavalry troops.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! What is this Heavenly Feather Dynasty of yours?" King Guang's originally ferocious face turned pitch black, looking even more sinister.

  "Get out of the way, poor Taoist." As he spoke, his left hand flashed, and the divine ability of the Golden Claw was displayed. The Golden Claw viciously grabbed at the powerful General below.

  "This kind of worship, my imperial court doesn't want it!" The generals on the ground saw Wang Guang actually attacking himself, and immediately shouted loudly to reprimand. The other hundreds of cavalry also shouted at the same time.

  In Wang Guang's eyes, he only saw that after the hundreds of cavalrymen let out a loud shout, a red glow flew out from each of their bodies. This red glow converged and merged above their heads, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a red cavalryman.

  This cavalry's helmet and armor, although their faces are blurry and their bodies somewhat illusory, the murderous aura that shoots up to the sky makes Wang Guang feel a little frightened. This murderous aura is even more intense and cruel than the one he experienced when roaming the rivers and lakes and mixing with the bloody deep pool.

  The cavalry with condensed red light had armored horses and long spears and crossbows. It only saw it stretch out the palm-long spear to fiercely stab towards the golden big hand. Only heard a loud crash, that golden hand collapsed, while the red illusory cavalry came crashing through the air, shaking its spear at Wang Guang's throat and stabbing over.

  "How dare you, a small token soldier, be so arrogant in front of me?" Seeing the illusory cavalry breaking through his own divine power, Wang Guang was slightly surprised, and then he recognized the origin of this cavalry.

  The red cavalry that had gathered hundreds of riders was not a monster, nor was it some kind of magical Taoist method, but rather the unique dharma form of the Fu soldiers. At this time, upon closer inspection, although the cavalry below were lined up neatly without any signs of array formations, on their helmets and weapons, there were individual talismans and dharma arrays, which were precisely what made these cavalry easily become Fu soldiers.

  After the red illusory cavalry charged, Wang Guang didn't even bother to use his Golden Claw divine ability. Because he found that this cleverly obtained divine ability was indeed weak, with only one-third of its power, a four-layered divine ability was easily broken by the symbol soldiers' condensed law body.

  The copper whip in his hand changed, the copper ball rolled, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a familiar eight-sided copper hammer. This guy let out a loud roar, raised the copper hammer and charged towards the cavalry monk. At the same time, he was worried that the female Qi practitioner would take advantage of the situation to slip away, so he grabbed three or five dark thunderbolts and randomly threw them over there to show that he was still paying attention to her.
