Chapter 94: I'm Fighting Chi You?
Heavenly Shooting Bow, Godslayer Spear, Slaughter Spear, Life-breaking Spear.
The Military God's Five Weapons already have four in Jiang Li's hands, only the last of the Annihilation Spear is still elsewhere.
According to what Tianxuan knows, among the Military God's Five Weapons, the Heavenly Shooting Bow, Slaughter Spear, Godslayer Spear are held by the Ji Family for sealing, while the Life-breaking Spear and Annihilation Spear are kept by the Jiang family.
Initially, Luu Tianpeng used the Heavenly Shooting Bow to absorb the Divine Evil of other evil weapons, piercing through the Sky Dome. If he still possessed the Military God's Five Weapons, he wouldn't have failed to utilize them. The Life-breaking Spear was obtained from the Jiang Family's Third Young Master, Jiang Zhuyun, indicating that the evil weapons in Jiang family's possession were well maintained and not lost due to dramatic events, making it very likely that the Annihilation Spear is still with them.
Jiang Li naturally harbors expectations for this final evil weapon.
Once collected, the Military God's Five Weapons become a second grade Daoist Artifact. Even excluding the Warlord Dao Fruit within, it is still an unmatched evil weapon. Initially, Jiang Li was able to severely injure King Shu, causing his advancement to fail, thanks in large part to the Godslayer Spear.
The Heavenly Monarch was able to pierce through the heavens and harm Heaven, beginning the prelude of Heaven Seizing Technique because of concentrating the All Heaven Divine Sha within three of the evil weapons, which brought such fierce power.
Furthermore, Jiang Li possesses the pure bloodline of the Jiang family, having awakened the Divine Farmer's appearance, and cultivated the Warlord's Innate True Body, making the Military God's Five Weapons one of the most compatible weapons for him, especially in terms of specializing in killing, even more suitable than the Divine Farmer's Cauldron and Ochre Whip.
Yet Jiang Li did not anticipate that the response from the Military God's Five Weapons would be so significant, surpassing even his resonance with the Divine Farmer's Cauldron and Ochre Whip.
Four evil weapons suspended around Jiang Li, with the exception of the Godslayer Spear transforming into a Three-pointed Two-bladed Sword, the other three weapons all possess a rugged ancient appearance, imbued with a clear ancient style.
With the four weapons resonating together, the Godslayer Spear gradually returns to its original form, with streams of evil qi circulating between the weapon blades, causing the nearly depleted Heavenly Shooting Bow, Slaughter Spear, and Life-breaking Spear to also gradually regain their ominous power.
Divine Evil arises from the Military God's Five Weapons, colliding with each other, producing the clashing sound of golden spears, akin to thousands of troops engaged in battle, an invisible fierceness and killing intent permeating and then boiling over.
Gongsun Qingyue was disturbed by the evil qi, immediately awakening from her state of enlightenment, seeing Jiang Li surrounded by evil weapons, she intended to approach but was stopped by Jiang Li's gaze.
He observed the increasingly intense Divine Evil qi, sensing in his heart that the big event was yet to come.
This is the intuition of a practitioner of the Echange Skill and Jiang Li's own premonition of crisis. At Jiang Li's level, premonitions seldom go wrong unless hindered by external forces.
For instance, if Qi Fortune is shaken, making protection difficult, leading to affects by evil qi or other Yin Force, obscuring the mind and causing premonitions to fail or err.
When this scenario reaches its limit, it results in Qi Fortune being completely broken, losing the mind, falling into peril without perceiving, according to Yi Dao, it's akin to Qi Shu coming to an end.
'It probably isn't a bad omen.'
Jiang Li muttered in his heart, 'It's a pity that the Divine Blessing Daoist Artifact Jade Ruyi is no longer effective for me, now I can only rely on myself to judge fortune and misfortune.'
The Jade Ruyi is merely a fifth-grade Daoist Artifact, and Jiang Li himself isn't too compatible with the Jade Ruyi, making it increasingly difficult to exert much effect, at most enhancing Jiang Li's intuition slightly.
Nonetheless, with the Divine Farmer's Cauldron suppressing Qi Fortune, Jiang Li believes there won't be any mistakes with his premonitions.
Sure enough, when the Divine Evil ascended to its limits, the separated evil qi began to converge, producing a vague and chaotic color. Every Qi Mechanism before this manifestation of evil qi was extinguished, space confounded within this evil qi.
Jiang Li even saw light becoming stagnant, distorted, like transparent worms crawling slowly.
In an instant, Jiang Li felt a sudden change in the world, the surrounding scenery shifted from a lakeside vista to desolation. No mountains, naturally no vegetation, no sight of the great lakes, yet sensing a dampness tinged with a metallic smell.
It was blood.
Jiang Li looked down and saw dark red soil, wondering how much blood was needed to make the land turn this color.
The desolate earth held a heavy red hue, extending endlessly with no end in sight, scattered with broken blades of weapons, some embedded in the ground, yet no bodies visible.
This appears to be a battlefield, but it's uncertain when or where this battlefield exists.
Jiang Li is uncertain whether he's physically here or merely his Divine Sense has entered a realm resembling an illusion.
Due to caution, Jiang Li immediately manifests a vertical mark at his brow, the Heavenly Eye surveys the ten directions, inspecting the surroundings. However, before any discoveries can be made, the appearance of a figure disrupts his thoughts.
It's a sturdy man, standing nine feet tall, wearing a coarse hemp robe.
In today's age, even commoners wouldn't wear such clothing, but if in the era Jiang Li suspects, such attire would be considered the finest. After all, the technique of silk extraction and weaving was only recently initiated by Lei Zu during this time.
The man's chest is exposed from the open robe, showing a bronzed chest with a tinge of red, like Shoushan Red Copper, indestructible. Loose hair flows like slender blades, bearing a metallic sheen, swaying as he walks, producing the sound of metal clashing.
And within that sword-like hair, a pair of equally bronze horns attract immense attention.
Merely seeing these horns, Jiang Li can almost ascertain his counterpart's identity.
— Warlord Chi You.
The result of the Three-Phases Transformation exceeded expectations, possibly due to Jiang Li cultivating "Qi Tomb" and Innate True Body, allowing him to connect to the divided Dao Fruit, akin to traversing space and time, meeting the master of the Military God's Five Weapons—Chi You.
To be honest, this counts as being Jiang Li's ancestor, although uncertain of any blood ties, both possess the same bloodline origin.
Yet this time-crossing meeting doesn't bring any joy to Jiang Li due to sensing increasingly intense battle intent.
The battle intent emanates from the nine-foot tall man, stirring the winds and clouds, sweeping across the earth. Just the waves of intent already interfere with reality, causing celestial phenomena changes, truly fearsome.
And the target of this battle intent—
It is Jiang Li!
Jiang Li feels the grand aura and momentarily doesn't know what to think.
No way?
Am I to fight Chi You?
Does it have to be this cruel?
Even if what's before him is merely a fake illusion, even if the Warlord Dao Fruit is split and incomplete, this illusion's power far less than its peak. But this, after all, is the illusion of Warlord Chi You.
His strength is far beneath the true Warlord, yet his realm is unquestionably real.
Even if Jiang Li can surpass third-grade, he dares not underestimate this illusion in the slightest.
From his heart, he wishes to retreat.
But it's too late.
The man's pace begins to quicken, charging towards him.
