Chapter 38 Even Ghosts Are Valuable
A powerful force was released from Mai Shiranui's body. Using the domain power of the Fire Dance Butterfly Fan, Mai Shiranui, temporarily fused with it, experienced a tenfold increase in strength.
"The ultimate secret technique of the Shiranui style, the Wrath of the Fire God!"
The Fire Dance Butterfly Fan unfolded in Mai Shiranui's hand, and in an instant, she transformed into two figures. The two Mai Shiranui, each wielding a Fire Dance Butterfly Fan, trapped a divine general within them. Golden light, like the sun, surged from the two Fire Dance Butterfly Fans. The light grew brighter and brighter, until, at its peak, its color suddenly turned a strange cyan. The hazy cyan light finally formed a cyan fireball.
"Masterful skill..."
Looking at the azure flames, this phrase suddenly flashed through Yang Yan's mind. Legend has it that when immortals refined elixirs, the flames turned azure, signifying the elixir's complete completion. According to the knowledge learned from the Yellow Emperor, azure flames are actually extremely powerful. When the flames turn azure, the temperature reaches tens of thousands of degrees Celsius. At such temperatures, not only would humans be affected, but even metal would boil and evaporate. Shiranui Mai's ability to unleash such flames with her physical body undoubtedly meant that her power at this moment had surpassed that of ordinary humans.
"Die, you ugly evil spirit!"
Two fire-wielding butterfly fans simultaneously struck the unfortunate god-general, instantly engulfing the evil spirit in azure flames. The moment the two fire-wielding butterfly fans closed, Shiranui Mai returned to her original body.
The power consumed by that attack was astonishing. Although a vast domain continuously provided energy to Shiranui Mai, that attack still left her feeling somewhat powerless. The struck god-general was completely incinerated into wisps of smoke that drifted into the air.
"Who's next?"
Mai Shiranui's gaze shifted to the other divine generals. Although she had eliminated one, the others, who knew nothing of fear, showed no dread.
"Be careful, that damned divine general wasn't eliminated by you."
Although Yang Yan's combat strength wasn't higher than Mai Shiranui's, he possessed the most mysterious Eye of Desire in the world. Yang Yan could clearly see that the divine general who had been engulfed by flames had only been completely burned into a gaseous state. When the flames died down, the divine general's body actually began to coalesce again.
"What? This thing isn't dead yet?"
Mai Shiranui discovered the divine general who had revived on the spot.
"Evil spirits are a type of demon, inherently intangible. Although your flames are powerful, they can only burn tangible things. If you simply rely on flames to burn these evil spirits, it will probably take a very long time to slowly refine them."
Yang Yan spoke the truth. Although Mai Shiranui was a master of ninjutsu with astonishing strength, she lacked experience in dealing with these supernatural monsters. All ninjutsu consists of physical attacks, which are unlikely to cause much damage to intangible entities like ghosts. Even though Mai Shiranui's current strength far surpasses these evil spirits, killing them would still be difficult.
"Stand back a bit, I'll handle them,"
Yang Yan said, slowly walking up to Mai Shiranui.
"But Master..."
Mai Shiranui said anxiously.
"It's alright, these ghosts are pure Yin monsters. I have the best way to deal with them. Don't think I can't beat you; I'm much better at dealing with these things."
Yang Yan smiled. According to the information he obtained through the Eye of Desire, his strength was far inferior to Mai Shiranui, a Heavenly Ninja. However, he was definitely stronger than Mai Shiranui in dealing with these demons and monsters because his Xuanyuan Mirror was the nemesis of all demons and monsters.
"Then Master, please be careful."
Although still worried about Yang Yan, Mai Shiranui wasn't too concerned. After all, this was her controlled domain, and everything was under her control. Even if Yang Yan encountered any danger, she would definitely have a way to rescue him.
"The Xuanyuan Mirror."
Yang Yan looked pitifully at the monster before him. Their luck was truly terrible; not only did they encounter the powerful Shiranui Mai, far surpassing them in strength, but they also happened to meet him, a human possessing the Xuanyuan Mirror. Back then, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan relied on the pure Yang power of the Xuanyuan Mirror to subdue all the demons in the world.
Yang Yan closed his eyes and roared. The Xuanyuan Mirror, hidden within his soul, reappeared. A gentle sun seemed to appear above Yang Yan's head, its golden light freely spreading throughout Shiranui Mai's domain.
"Ah..."
The warm sunlight that shone on the others had an unexpected effect on the twelve divine generals. The twelve generals simultaneously let out a wail, white smoke billowing from their hair-covered bodies, and flames immediately leaped wildly across their forms. These flames were unlike any other; they were pure white, appearing extremely eerie amidst the generals' wails.
Flames are not Yang Yan's specialty. Although the Xuanyuan Mirror also has the ability to set fires, this particular flame is not produced by the Xuanyuan Mirror. It is purely a flame generated by the pure Yang energy emitted by the Xuanyuan Mirror being stimulated by the Yin energy of these vengeful spirits. As long as the Yang energy continues, these flames will not go out until all the Yang energy causing them is burned away. It is truly an essential flame for home and travel, for slaying ghosts and capturing demons.
"Twelve Divine Generals, merge!"
Seeing the twelve divine generals about to vanish into thin air, the Japanese Emperor finally could not sit still. These twelve divine generals were his last trump card. If they were destroyed, he would surely die. He hurriedly issued the order. Although the twelve divine generals possessed such a move and technique, they had never used it before. What would happen after merging was unknown even to the Japanese Emperor. The sorcerer who created the method to refine the twelve divine generals left a will stating that if Japan were to face an unavoidable national calamity that the twelve divine generals could not withstand, they could merge into one.
"Awoo..."
The twelve divine generals, struggling in the flames, received the Japanese Emperor's order and transformed into mist carrying white flames, gathering together. This mist suddenly coalesced into a massive black cloud, and all the white flames vanished. Yang Yan's Xuanyuan Mirror lost all effect, only emitting a gentle, peaceful light.
"Careful!"
Mai Shiranui suddenly leaped and pushed Yang Yan aside. A violent blade of energy shot out from the black cloud, striking Mai Shiranui with a clang. Fortunately, her body was protected by armor conjured by her Fire Dance Butterfly Fan, and she seemed unharmed. The powerful force of the blade sent her flying several meters before she came to a stop.
"I am the true god of Takamagahara! Who are you, daring to offend a deity?"
A harsh, gruff male voice rang out from within the black cloud.
"Master, are you alright?"
Mai Shiranui once again stood in front of Yang Yan, asking with concern.
"Ignorant lowly commoners, I am a disciple of Susanoo, the one who fights demons and ghosts!"
Seeing that no one paid him any attention, the male voice from the black mist was filled with rage.
"I'm fine."
Yang Yan checked himself; thankfully, she wasn't injured, just startled.
"Damn it, you humans! You have no respect for the gods! Don't you revere the gods of Takamagahara anymore? Ignorant humans, you will be punished for your stupidity! Now, accept the wrath of the gods!"
The male voice from the black mist seemed extremely angry, about to go berserk.
"I don't care if you're human or demon! Anyone who dares to harm the master of the Shiranui Mai family is my enemy! Whether you're a demon or a god, I will cut you down with my sword!"
Shiranui Mai coldly stared at the black mist. If she hadn't acted quickly, her master would have been injured—an unforgivable act. A murderous intent surged within Shiranui Mai.
"Foolish!"
A roar echoed from within the black mist, which rapidly shrank as if absorbed, revealing a three-meter-tall monster, blood-red in color, with long red hair, two bull horns on its head, and only its lower body covered by a tattered cowhide. This monster stood within the black mist, wielding a broken sword and threatening Mai Shiranui.
"What is this thing?"
Seeing such a bizarre creature before him, Yang Yan immediately considered whether to capture it and exhibit it; its appearance alone would surely have a market.
"It's a demon, the most common evil god in Japanese legends,"
Mai Shiranui replied.
"Haha, you're all doomed! The great Susanoo will never abandon our Great Japanese Empire! With Susanoo's protection, our Great Japanese Empire will surely rise again and become the hegemon of Asia! Haha!"
Seeing this disgusting monster, the Japanese Emperor seemed to have taken a stimulant, howling with joy.
"So noisy..."
Yang Yan frowned, watching the smug Japanese Emperor.
"Master, leave this monster to me."
Mai Shiranui pointed her Fire Dance Butterfly Fan at the self-proclaimed god before her.
"How dare you, a mere mortal, blaspheme against a god!"
The hairy ghost was furious.
"Shut up!"
Mai Shiranui roared, her Fire Dance Butterfly Fan slashing out with a blinding flash of red light. The hairy ghost let out a wail and was sent flying more than ten meters away.
"If you were still a formless ghost, perhaps I couldn't do anything to you. But now that you have a physical form, you must be prepared to die."
The anger Mai Shiranui had unleashed earlier against the vengeful spirit erupted completely. The vengeful spirit's pitiful fighting power was no match for Mai Shiranui, but the lack of a physical form meant it was immune to all physical attacks. The frustration of being powerless fueled the rage of Mai Shiranui, hailed as Japan's number one ninja.
"You lowly human, how dare you harm my body! This is an insult to Susanoo's divine might! The gods of Takamagahara will not let you get away with this!" Shiranui Mai
hadn't expected such terrifying power. That attack had actually injured this demon, who bore the name of a god. Since submitting to Susanoo, this demon, who had never suffered a loss, had finally gone mad.
"Since ancient times, you are not the first demon to be killed in Japan, nor will you be the last."
Shiranui Mai's power gathered once more.
"So this guy is just a lowly creature with the name of a god."
Kagero almost laughed out loud at the demon's performance. If all Japanese gods were such lowly creatures, then the Japanese gods were truly pathetic. This demon, despite possessing the name of a god, didn't even have a domain, and dared to speak to the ruler of a domain dominated by others—he was truly asking for trouble. The domain exists as the personal space of a deity, created by the power of the deity. It is the most suitable place to exert divine power. As long as this domain does not disappear, Mai Shiranui's strength within it can increase several times.
"Damn it, I'll kill you!"
Oni roared, slashing at Mai Shiranui with his sword.
"You fool who only knows how to use physical strength."
With a clang of metal on metal, Mai Shiranui used her Fire Dance Butterfly Fan to block Oni's slash, rendering it completely immobile. Seeing Oni using all his strength, Mai Shiranui sneered, and with a forceful push, she sent Oni flying.
"Transform into an Oni? This is the greatest secret of the Twelve Divine Generals? What a joke! In the thousand years since the founding of Japan, at least nine thousand,000,000, have died at the hands of super strong individuals. This kind of boring thing is enough to scare ordinary people, yet you dare to show off in front of me, the only Heavenly Ninja."
Tornadoes of fire rose from the ground, and Mai Shiranui, at the center of the tornadoes, seemed to grow increasingly furious.
"Are you looking down on me, you androgynous creature?"
The fiery tornado instantly transformed into a firestorm, and the domain of Mai Shiranui's butterfly fan seemed extremely unstable. Except for the spot where Yang Yan stood, everything else began to shake violently.
"The wrath of the Heavenly Ninja will make you taste the bitterness of hell."
Mai Shiranui coldly stared ahead. The Japanese Emperor and the hairy demon were being held upside down in front of her by an invisible force. This demon was utterly powerless against Mai Shiranui. Having come into contact with the power of her domain, Mai Shiranui was beginning her march towards becoming a true powerhouse.
"Mai."
Seeing that Mai Shiranui seemed to be losing control of her emotions, Yang Yan immediately called out.
"Master..."
Although Mai Shiranui was in a dangerously unstable emotional state, her absolute obedience to Yang Yan remained unchanged. She immediately turned around, bent down, and listened to Yang Yan's instructions.
"Don't kill them yet. As for this ghost, let's keep it to study it. Maybe it'll be useful. Even if we don't find anything, we can still exhibit it. I reckon a lot of people will come to see it; it'll be a huge hit."
Yang Yan looked at the ghost with ill intent. This ghost wasn't a ghost at all; it was clearly a hen that could lay golden eggs.
"Then what's the use of this androgynous thing?"
Mai Shiranui's anger towards the Japanese Emperor was no less than her anger towards the ghost.
"Hmm. I really don't have any use for this thing either. However, letting him die like this would be too easy for him. This whole thing was most likely his doing."
Yang Yan patted Mai Shiranui's shoulder.
"Yes."
Mai Shiranui closed her eyes, calmed herself down, and the flame domain slowly disappeared. Her Fire Dance Butterfly Fan returned to its normal form.
"Just now... just now I think I couldn't control my emotions?"
After opening her eyes, Mai Shiranui returned to an absolutely calm ninja. Recalling the battle just now, it seemed that although she was able to unleash tremendous power at the end, she had somewhat lost control of her emotions.
“The power of the gods isn’t so easy to use. Your own strength hasn’t reached the domain level. Forcing yourself to borrow this power will inevitably affect your emotions if you use it for too long,”
Yang Yan explained.
“I understand. I will continue to work hard. One day, I will definitely be able to use my own strength to unleash a domain,”
Mai Shiranui nodded.
“Lock this demon up with iron chains. And capture this thing called the Emperor.”
At Mai Shiranui’s command, the ninjas, who were already prepared, swiftly captured the powerless demon and the Emperor. The ninjas found thick iron chains, about the thickness of an arm, and pierced the demon’s collarbone, completely controlling it amidst the demon’s screams.
“This is the Imperial Palace of the Japanese Emperor. It’s quite deserted.”
The ninjas began searching the entire palace. Yang Yan, in a victorious manner, toured this place, which was said to be the Emperor’s palace, accompanied by Mai Shiranui.
“Master, what should we do with this palace?”
Mai Shiranui asked Yang Yan after learning that the entire palace was under their control. She dared not make the decision herself.
"There must be a lot of good stuff here?"
Yang Yan asked, looking at the artworks displayed around him.
"Quite a few, I suppose. Japan looted a lot during the war, and with Japan's economic development in recent years, the Imperial Palace has acquired many rare antiques and paintings,"
Mai Shiranui answered confidently.
"Hmm, arrest all the useful people and take them back. The rest are yours to deal with. Take all the valuables,"
Yang Yan ordered.
"Yes, sir."
The ninja waiting for orders turned and left. "
It's too deserted here. Let's go back."
Watching the ninjas busy arresting people and looting, Yang Yan felt a sense of boredom.
"Hmm, I think the other action groups should have finished their missions by now. Let's go back and wait for the results report."
Mai Shiranui obeyed Yang Yan's will above all else; she would probably agree even if he said the sun rose in the west.
Yang Yan and Mai Shiranui returned to Mai Shiranui's villa. Most of the elders who had gone out on missions had already returned, waiting for Yang Yan in the hall with tired yet excited expressions.
"Master,"
all the elders knelt down as Yang Yan brought Mai Shiranui in.
"Almost everyone's back."
Yang Yan nodded in satisfaction, looking at the elders. His gaze swept over them, but he didn't see Shiranui Yue.
"Where's Yue? Why hasn't she returned yet?"
Yang Yan asked.
"Well..."
The elders exchanged glances before one of the older elders answered.
"Elder Shiranui Yue is currently at the National Museum. Most of the items there are Japan's most important national treasures, and she needs to oversee them to ensure their safe return."
"Oh, good. It seems you all had a good haul yesterday. Tell us about it."
Yang Yan gestured for the elders to sit down.
"Reporting to Master, we have thoroughly purged all right-wing forces, leaving no one out. We have now taken control of the entire Japanese government and military. This morning at eight o'clock, the puppet we supported will take power. He will announce that Japan was attacked by Al-Qaeda last night, and the Emperor and Prime Minister were killed. Japan will form a provisional government to overcome this difficult period. Last night, in addition to completely controlling the Japanese government and military, our actions also seized the national gold reserves of several major Japanese banks and took over the economic interests of all enterprises previously controlled by right-wing forces. The direct economic income accounts for thirty percent of Japan's total national value..."
Chapter 039 Negotiation with the Three Major Schools
"So much money?"
Yang Yan listened dumbfounded to such a large sum of money.
"...War is the fastest way to get rich. Japan made a lot of money in World War I, which is why it was so eager to start World War II."
Mai Shiranui thought for a moment and answered Yang Yan.
"Hmm, that's right. No wonder so many countries want to start wars every day. So war is so lucrative."
Yang Yan seemed to see countless gold, jewels, and beautiful women beckoning to him after the flames of war.
"World War II, while turning both Eurasia into ruins, also created two superpowers and amassed immense wealth. Europe plundered countless treasures from two or three centuries of foreign wars, establishing itself as the most prosperous and wealthy region in the world. The two consecutive world wars propelled humanity from the coal age into the nuclear age. The world progressed because of war,"
Mai Shiranui said calmly.
"That seems to make sense. Back then, Emperor Wu of Han led an army of 300,000 to conquer the Xiongnu beyond the Great Wall, laying the foundation for the Han Empire's centuries-long reign as a celestial empire. Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was also called the Heavenly Khan after defeating the Xiongnu, establishing the unparalleled Tang Empire,"
Yang Yan seemed to have a sudden inspiration.
"War drives national progress. Only by winning wars can a nation become strong. Although Japan is now known as an economic powerhouse, its military strength is actually not strong. While its island nation status and limited resources play a role, the main reason is its defeat in the war, which resulted in the loss of its strongest support—its military. On the other hand, although China currently lacks naval and air power capable of operating across the oceans, no country dares to directly confront it. Even the United States, with its far stronger economy, tries its best to avoid direct conflict with China. Ultimately, this is because China's military has a deterrent effect. In an era of relatively backward weaponry, China defeated the two superpowers of the time: the Korean Peninsula, the Vietnam War, and the Soviet Union. Its army was the strongest in the world. Any country that attempts to clash with China must consider the consequences,"
said Mai Shiranui.
"Master, this time we have completely controlled Japan. I think that since we have eliminated the Imperial Family, you should ascend the throne and become the new Emperor of Japan,"
said an elder.
"No interest."
Yang Yan has never had a good impression of Japan. If he were to become the Emperor of Japan, he could forget about ever fighting again.
“Report…”
A knock came at the door.
“Come in,”
Mai Shiranui called out loudly.
“Master, Sect Master, Teng Yuanzhai, the Sect Master of the Evil-Slaying Sword Sect, has come to visit you on behalf of the Evil-Slaying Sword Sect, the Ice and Snow Arrow, and the Chaotic Dance Fighting School.”
The black-clad ninja who entered bowed his head and reported.
“Have him wait in the side hall. You will see him soon.”
Mai Shiranui and Yang Yan exchanged a glance, and Mai Shiranui relayed the order.
“What does this old man want with me?”
Yang Yan frowned.
“The three major schools are at the pinnacle of Japanese martial arts. Although their overall strength cannot rival our Mai Shiranui family, they should not be underestimated. Moreover, the three sects have always supported the Japanese government. This time, they were caught off guard by our sudden action. Instead of launching a counterattack, they sent this old man to see you alone. It is possible that they want to negotiate with us.”
Mai Shiranui replied after thinking for a moment.
"Negotiation? Negotiate what? Let me release the Japanese Emperor? Heh heh, this time it was that bastard Emperor who attacked me first. If we're going to talk, let's talk about the simple distribution of benefits. But once I've got it, don't even think about letting it go."
Yang Yan crossed his legs, looking like a scoundrel.
"By the way, if we're going to fight, can we beat these three martial arts sects?"
Yang Yan suddenly asked.
"Since we could wipe out the ninjas of Iga Valley, we can wipe out these three sects too."
Because the Shiranui clan had no master, their ninja strength had been hidden. This time, their first major attack wiped out Iga Valley and completely controlled Japan. The elders were full of confidence. With the strength of Shiranui Mai, the Heavenly Ninja, they could completely dominate Japan. Once war broke out, the three martial arts sects would definitely not be able to resist the ninja army led by Shiranui Mai.
"Alright, I'll go see that old man. After all, he helped me a lot when I came to Japan."
Yang Yan stood up and strode out.
“Master, Teng Yuanzhai is incredibly strong. Let me accompany you.”
Mai Shiranui absolutely cannot let anything happen to Yang Yan.
“Alright.”
Yang Yan, led by a ninja, headed to a side hall.
“Lord Yang Yan.”
The old man, dressed in traditional kendo attire, stood solemnly facing the door. Upon seeing Yang Yan and Mai Shiranui appear, he immediately greeted them.
"Sect Leader Tengyuan
," Yang Yan replied formally .
"Please sit,"
Yang Yan said, sitting cross-legged in the traditional Japanese room. "
Lord Yang Yan, Sect Leader Mai Shiranui, I believe you two should give our three sects an explanation for the series of riots and assassinations that occurred last night,"
the old man said in a serious voice after more than ten minutes of silence.
"Riots and assassinations? Did they? I was asleep all night; Mai Shiranui can testify. Is it because you offended Uncle Laden that he's causing you trouble?"
Yang Yan feigned innocence.
"Last night, a large number of ninjas raided Tokyo, causing multiple riots, completely paralyzing the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, assassinating nearly a hundred high-ranking officials, and burning down the Imperial Palace. As of now, these ninjas have completely taken control of Japanese politics. When did Bin Laden ever use a dedicated ninja force?"
the old man said seriously.
"Well… you know, Uncle Bin Laden is very rich. He has more money than he can spend. It wouldn't be difficult for him to use that money to disguise himself as a ninja. That explanation is reasonable, isn't it?"
Yang Yan explained fluently.
"Indeed, Bin Laden is rich and can disguise himself as a ninja. But why are treasures from the Imperial Palace and the National Treasury being continuously transported to this villa? And why is it that Elder Shiranui Tsuki of your sect personally accepted a large number of artifacts from the Tokyo Museum?"
the old man sneered.
“Well, Uncle Laden probably cashed in on the spot after the robbery. My ninjas saw a lot of cheap stuff for sale, so they drove off and brought it all back. You know, maintaining so many ninjas is expensive, so I had to do some resale business. I bought all this stuff wholesale first, and then see if I could resell it to make some money. If not, I can keep it to decorate my image.”
Yang Yan said with a wronged expression.
“Is that so? Your Shiranui clan made over 10 billion US dollars in profit last year, and you’re still so poor? Did Bin Laden launch the attack just to sell everything to you cheaply? A few hours ago, a flame domain enveloped the Imperial Palace. Now, besides Shiranui Mai, who else in Japan can unleash a flame domain?”
The old man was clearly quite knowledgeable about the situation.
“Sect Leader Tengyuan, although we respect you as a senior in martial arts, please watch your tone when speaking to our master. Our master will not tolerate any insults. Anyone who insults the Shiranui clan’s master is our Shiranui clan’s mortal enemy, a fight to the death.”
Shiranui Mai snorted coldly, and the aura of a Heavenly Ninja erupted. Faced with Mai Shiranui's terrifying aura, Tengyuan Zhai's face immediately turned deathly pale. That aura, seemingly not belonging to the mortal realm, suppressed him completely. His martial arts cultivation of nearly a hundred years seemed utterly insignificant before this terrifying power.
"Alright, don't be rude to Sect Master Tengyuan. He is, after all, an old man."
Although Yang Yan didn't care about the old man, he was very fond of the old man's beautiful granddaughters.
"Yes, Master."
Mai Shiranui withdrew her aura and calmly continued sitting behind Yang Yan.
"Hehe, Sect Master Tengyuan, are you alright?"
Yang Yan asked, looking at the pale-faced Tengyuan Zhai.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
After more than ten minutes, Tengyuan Zhai finally recovered from the terrifying power of Mai Shiranui. This power, which had long surpassed the realm of martial artists, Tengyuan Zhai had only ever felt from the Yasha Demon Blade. Mai Shiranui's aura seemed to have surpassed the Yasha Demon Blade, becoming the most terrifying existence in Japan. This was the strength Mai Shiranui possessed after reaching the Domain level, about to surpass the Heavenly Ninja level.
"As expected of a Heavenly Ninja, your mere aura rendered me powerless. Even if you were to face the Yasha Demon Blade now, you would still not lose."
Seeing Mai Shiranui possess such terrifying strength at such a young age, Fujiwara Sai felt a strange sense of disappointment.
The number one in Japan—this terrifying strength, far surpassing his own prime, was the true mark of Japan's number one.
"You lecherous old man, you came all this way just to challenge Mai?"
Seeing that Fujiwara Sai was clearly impressed by Mai's strength, he asked.
"What else can we do? Fight? Even if we combined the strength of our three major schools, we might not be able to defeat the Shiranui Ninja Army, let alone with Mai Shiranui, a terrifying existence beyond ordinary strength. Since fighting is useless, I hope we can have a proper talk."
The old man looked helpless.
"Talk? Talk about what?"
Kage secretly calculated his trump cards.
"Your Shiranui clan has already achieved control over the main body of Japan. If you were to receive the full support of our three major schools, then the entire country would become your backyard. Therefore, I hope to have a proper discussion with you about specific matters of cooperation."
The old man seemed very casual.
"You want to cooperate with me?"
Yang Yan found it strange. Wasn't this lecherous old man supposed to be a full supporter of the Japanese government? Why would he be discussing cooperation with him? This seemed very odd.
"Don't be curious. Japanese ancient martial arts originated from China, and the origin of Japanese civilization also comes from China's first feudal dynasty, the Qin Dynasty. Back then, Xu Fu led three thousand boys and girls to Japan to spread Central Plains culture. During the Han Dynasty in China, the Japanese Emperor went to the Han Dynasty to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor and brought back the three sacred treasures. The name Japan was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Our ancient Japanese schools were founded by extraordinary individuals with unique skills who traveled east to Japan. Theoretically speaking, we should also be considered half Chinese, so we do not object to Chinese people controlling Japan."
The old man said nonchalantly.
"Nonsense! Would the Chinese have been raiding and plundering our coastlines for centuries since the Song Dynasty? Would the Chinese have occupied our Northeast and Taiwan? Would the Chinese have killed 20 million of our brothers and sisters during World War II?"
Yang Yan said with disdain.
"Well... anyway, after an emergency consultation among our three major schools, we've decided to pledge allegiance to you."
The old man smiled awkwardly and continued.
"Pledge allegiance to me? What a joke! You're not ninjas. If you stab me in the back, I won't even have time to cry."
Yang Yan looked at the old man suspiciously.
"We are martial artists, not politicians. We value keeping our word. For us martial artists, passing down our school and finding suitable successors is paramount. Now that you control most of Japan, resisting you means becoming an enemy of the Shiranui clan, which is something we don't want to see. To show our sincerity, each of our three major schools will send you a guard."
The old man said with a smile.
"Guards?"
Yang Yan couldn't help but feel that the old man was definitely up to something shady.
"You know them too, they are my three granddaughters, Fujiwara Hanachiyo, Shiratori Ba, and Chiyo Kaede."
The old man had barely finished speaking when Yang Yan kicked him against the wall.
"Don't give me that! You sold those three to me the first time you met me. You actually want to sell me things that are already mine? You despicable swindler!"
Yang Yan said indignantly. This old man was too much of a scoundrel.
"But...but you didn't have a travel agreement, and you didn't learn any techniques from me..."
The old man tried to argue.
"Wasn't it agreed from the beginning that all interpretations of the treaty were my responsibility? I said I've completed the treaty, and that's it. If you want to sign a new treaty, bring out something else."
"My other granddaughters..."
The old man had barely finished speaking when Yang Yan turned him into a mural again.
"They're all mine. You'd better be honest and bring out something good."
At this moment, Yang Yan looked more like a vampire than a vampire.
"...I'll give you twenty companies that we control."
The old man seemed to be going all out, investing heavily.
"Only twenty? That's so few."
Yang Yan seemed to completely disregard these twenty companies.
"...Twenty-one..."
The old man looked as if someone was cutting his flesh piece by piece with a knife.
"One hundred and eighty companies."
Yang Yan offered a fixed price.
"We only have a few dozen companies in total."
The old man feigned a heart attack.
"Come on, you said the first time we met that your three families controlled two hundred large companies."
Yang Yan exposed the old man's secret once again.
"Fine..."
The poor old man signed another absolutely unequal treaty...
Several hours later, the old man returned to the secret stronghold of the three major factions.
"Father, why did you sign this unequal treaty? According to this treaty, we will lose ninety percent of our companies, which will seriously affect our development."
The current leaders of the three factions were very dissatisfied with the treaty signed by the old man.
"What do you know? This man is the successor of the King's Eye. What is the King's Eye? It's the mark of an emperor who rules the world. This man has gradually embarked on a path of conquest. Japan is merely the first step in his world conquest. If we can follow him, everything we've lost will be regained through his expansion of power, and we'll gain even greater strength, perhaps even becoming gods. Do you remember Hua Qiandai, who is currently cultivating diligently in the family's secret base? That power comes from him. Therefore, our only way out is to follow him and be loyal to him. Conflict with him means utter annihilation,"
the old man said solemnly.
"Hua Qiandai's power comes from him, a power we can't even dream of..."
The patriarchs of the three families were stunned.
"Regardless of what you think, he is now our master. No matter what orders he issues, do not disobey. Only in this way can we ensure the survival of our families in the coming new era,"
the old man said solemnly.
"Yes, Father."...
With the full support of the three major schools, Yang Yan's takeover of the Japanese government proceeded smoothly. Large numbers of anti-Chinese elements were massacred. Under the combined efforts of the three major schools and the Shiranui Ninja Army, Tokyo's death toll reached 300,000 within three days, with nearly 400,000 missing. The infamous Tokyo Massacre unfolded in Tokyo. Amidst the ongoing riots in Tokyo, direct evidence suggested that the entire incident was orchestrated by American agents. Large-scale anti-American demonstrations erupted across Japan, and the newly appointed Prime Minister, Yoneji, directly protested to the US government. Due to the Japanese government's monetary policies, many countries expressed support for Japan's protest against the US. Under international pressure, the US began reducing its troop presence in Japan. The situation gradually calmed down.
After the political situation in Japan stabilized completely, Yang Yan returned to China as a Japanese-Chinese, carrying a large number of cultural relics. After donating substantial amounts of artifacts and making significant investments, Yang Yan became a nationally renowned patriotic overseas Chinese.
The Shiranui clan and three major schools of martial arts colluded to manipulate the Japanese government. The Japanese government gradually drew closer to China in various international events, and the Japanese Prime Minister even apologized on behalf of the Emperor and the Japanese people for the unforgivable crimes committed against China and neighboring countries during World War II.
Faced with Japan's shift, the US and Russia were extremely angry and frequently interfered in Japan's internal affairs, escalating tensions between the two countries. Russia, while urging both sides to exercise restraint, simultaneously amassed a large military force to see if it could gain any advantage.
Faced with the US's attempt to create chaos in Asia, the Chinese government appealed for peaceful negotiations, resolutely stating that war in East Asia would not be allowed to break out.
Faced with the opportunistic Russia, the hardline stance of the Chinese government, and the desire for a bargain, the US government had no choice but to return to the negotiating table. The Six-Party Talks, involving China, Japan, the US, Russia, France, and Germany, were held in Beijing. Suddenly, international attention was entirely focused on Beijing; issues like Bin Laden, the North Korean nuclear crisis, and Iranian nuclear proliferation were forgotten.
Chapter 40 The Tower of a Thousand Corpses
While the issue of Japan became the international focus, Yang Yan was living a very comfortable life. Accompanied by several beautiful women, he spent his days traveling and sightseeing, visiting famous mountains and scenic spots throughout China. Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long. Everything ended with a phone call to Yang Yan's phone.
"Yang Yan, I need your help,"
Li Aidan's voice came from the phone.
"What happened?"
Although he hadn't developed any relationship with a beauty like Li Aidan, Yang Yan showed great interest in her. Upon hearing her words, he immediately asked anxiously.
"Recently, more than three thousand girls have gone missing. According to our investigation, it might be the Zombie King's scheme. Yesterday, I received a message from the Zombie King, instructing you and me to go to the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain on the night of the full moon in three days. If we don't go, all three thousand girls will die,"
Li Aidan said helplessly. If he didn't go, the sins of those three thousand deaths would all fall upon him. For a cultivator like himself, the heavier the sins, the heavier the heavenly tribulation upon attaining enlightenment. After seeking help from his master, who instructed him that only Yang Yan could help him, Li Aidan had no choice but to go to Yang Yan again.
"...No way, you're coming to me in such danger..."
Yang Yan was determined not to stand under a crumbling wall. The Zombie King was so terrifying; if he went, he'd be courting death.
"Never mind..."
Li Aidan sighed softly. She knew this guy was a typical coward; asking him to go with her to rescue those poor girls was simply impossible.
"Yang Yan, I have some bad news for you. Your Miss Xu seems to be among those captured by the Zombie King. Goodbye."
You Li snatched the phone from Li Aidan and hung up abruptly.
"Will he come?"
Li Aidan frowned. How could such a cowardly and lecherous guy risk such danger for a woman?
“He will definitely go. That kid seems indifferent to everything, but he cares a lot about the people around him and his woman. As long as we tell him that Miss Xu has also been captured by the Zombie King, he will definitely go.”
Yuli was very confident.
“But Miss Xu wasn’t arrested this time. What if Yang Yan finds out we lied to him?”
Li Aidan said worriedly.
“What do you mean, ‘what if’? Why should we explain ourselves to him?” You
Li looked at Li Aidan strangely.
“You care about him so much, could it be… could it be that you’ve fallen for this big pervert? You’re doomed, you’ve fallen for this big pervert.”
You Li quickly came to a conclusion.
“What? You’re the one who’s fallen for this big pervert, otherwise how could you know his temper so well?”
Li Aidan’s cheeks flushed red as she mocked You Li.
“You brat, you’re talking nonsense…”
The two beauties, who looked to be about the same age, playfully wrestled together…
China has traditionally used the lunar calendar. This magical calendar, based on the moon’s orbit, has 30 days in a month and 12 months in a year, totaling 360 days in a year. On the 30th and 1st of each month, the Earth completely obscures the moon, making it almost impossible to see it. On the 15th and 16th, however, the moon is fully visible in the sky, round and bright, known as the full moon. Whether in China or abroad, the full moon is a mysterious night. According to European legend, on the night of the full moon, dark magic reaches its peak, and demons, werewolves, and vampires, representing dark forces, become much stronger.
According to ancient Chinese legend, the moon, also called Taiyin, is the source of yin energy between heaven and earth. The night of the full moon is when the moon releases its strongest yin energy. At this time, ghosts and demons emerge to absorb the moon's yin energy to cultivate themselves.
Zombies, these demons that transcend the three realms and six paths, especially worship the moon on the full moon to obtain yin energy.
The King of Zombies' rendezvous was set for such a full moon, at Tianzhu Mountain, a place inaccessible to ordinary people.
Li Aidan began her journey to Tianzhu Mountain as soon as it got dark, and entered the main peak around 8 PM.
Accompanying her was Countess Yuri, the vampire who had been inseparable from her for the past few months.
"You two beauties, why are you taking so long?"
Just as they reached the halfway point up the mountain, Yang Yan's voice rang out from ahead.
"You big pervert, didn't you say you weren't coming? Why are you running so fast?"
Seeing Yang Yan sitting in a chair with a small wooden table in front of him, and even a tea set on it, with Mai Shiranui intently pouring tea for him, Li Aidan was furious.
"Hehe, since there's still time, why don't we all sit down and have a cup of tea and rest?"
Yang Yan comfortably accepted the tea offered by Mai Shiranui, taking a pleasant sip.
"This sister has such a strong aura; her strength is probably even above mine."
Although she felt extremely angry at Yang Yan, Li Aidan keenly sensed the immense pressure Mai Shiranui was exerting. Although Mai Shiranui hadn't adopted any aggressive stance, or even shown the slightest intention to attack, the calm emanating from her, like the center of a storm, made Li Aidan feel incredibly oppressed.
"Your strength is not bad either."
Mai Shiranui looked up and smiled at Li Aidan, then lowered her head to continue doing her work.
"How did you get up here? And even set up a table? Did you start preparing here this afternoon?"
Yuri was very surprised that Yang Yan had gotten up before her and Li Aidan and set up the table and chairs for them.
"Of course I took a helicopter. Why would I walk? Don't you know walking is tiring?"
Yang Yan looked at Yuri innocently.
"You spendthrift, you actually took a helicopter to climb the mountain..."
Li Aidan was speechless at Yang Yan.
"Master, there is a strange aura on the mountain. It should be the zombie king you mentioned."
Mai Shiranui looked up, her gaze fixed on the mountain.
"Strange? Didn't the ninja team search the mountaintop half an hour ago? There was nothing there. Could it be that the zombie king has also learned to climb mountains by helicopter like us?"
Yang Yan found it very strange.
"No, that aura appeared suddenly. If it were a helicopter or other means of transportation, I should have been able to sense that it was slowly approaching, not suddenly appearing."
Mai Shiranui said confidently. The phone rang.
"Report! A tower made of the corpses of young women has suddenly appeared on the mountaintop. We searched the area but found nothing unusual. The tower appeared out of nowhere."
A ninja's voice came through the phone, filled with a strange tone.
"Immediately send people to search the tower. Contact us at any time. We'll be there soon."
Yang Yan took the phone and gave the order.
"Yes."
With the reply from the other end of the line, Yang Yan hung up.
"Let's go up and take a look together."
Yang Yan led the way, with Shiranui Mai following behind, and Li Aidan and Yuri trailing behind. The group headed towards the mountaintop.
The mountain path was rugged and difficult to traverse. Even with Yang Yan's considerable strength, it took him almost ten minutes to reach the top. Of course, Shiranui Mai, the strongest in the group, was perfectly capable of reaching the top in a few breaths, but Shiranui Mai, whose mission was to protect Yang Yan, preferred to accompany him on the slow ascent.
At the summit, what was originally a small flat area a few dozen meters wide now had a nine-story tower made of countless young girls' corpses standing in the center. All the corpses looked as if they had just died, and the bodies of these young girls still had bright red blood flowing down to the bottom of the tower.
"How is the situation?"
Mai Shiranui asked.
"Sect Leader, we sent a ten-person team to investigate, but we lost contact ten minutes ago,"
the kneeling ninja replied.
"Send more people," Mai Shiranui
ordered without hesitation.
"Wait,"
Li Aidan said.
"What is it?"
Yang Yan knew that with these strange things, it was necessary to listen to Li Aidan, this modern female exorcist.
"Don't you find it strange? There's so much blood flowing on this tower, but there's not a trace of blood on the ground outside?"
Li Aidan said, frowning.
"It is indeed strange."
"This tower gives me a strange feeling, as if it connects to another world,"
Yuri said, staring blankly at the strange tower.
"Although this tower is filled with a strange aura, it doesn't seem very strong, yet it gives me a very dangerous feeling,"
Mai Shiranui, the strongest among them, hesitated as she looked at the strange tower, voicing her doubts.
"This tower should be the legendary Tower of a Thousand Corpses. According to legend, the Tower of a Thousand Corpses possesses boundless magic power, capable of connecting the realms of Yin and Yang, blurring the lines between the world of the dead and the world of the living,"
Li Aidan said, frowning. Recently, in order to deal with the Zombie King, Li Aidan had already read through all the books about zombies on Mount Emei, including those specifically about the Tower of a Thousand Corpses.
"The Tower of a Thousand Corpses? A world connecting the dead and the living? Hmm, not bad, now that you mention it, I remember."
Yang Yan's eyes turned purple, the power of his Eye of Desire emanating from them. Everything about the Tower of a Thousand Corpses was revealed to him. Through the only door at the bottom of the tower, it seemed to be another world completely different from reality. The entire world was a hazy gray, and heaven and earth were completely inverted, time itself distorted. That world gave Yang Yan an unusually familiar feeling. Hearing Li Aidan's words, Yang Yan remembered that he had been to this world before. It was the place connecting to the Yellow Springs Kingdom, the dividing line between the human world and the world of the dead.
"The Tower of a Thousand Corpses is the Tower of Doomsday that the Zombie King, who has cultivated for many years, hoped to build. Legend has it that when the Tower of a Thousand Corpses is completed, the Zombie King can use it to reach the boundary between life and death, where he can absorb a large amount of life and death energy. After forty-nine days and nine nights, he can be reborn as a Flying Yaksha, and from then on, he can roam freely between heaven and earth."
The Xuanyuan Sword, once known as the number one divine weapon in the world, was revealed in Li Aidan's hand, its magnificent golden light almost slicing through the sky.
"Everyone, the world between life and death is extremely dangerous. Wait here for me. If I haven't returned in ten days, go to Mount Emei to find my master and ask him to come out of seclusion and vanquish the demons."
Li Aidan said calmly, her sword held elegantly to her chest. Her refined, ethereal aura, cultivated for many years, made her seem like a peerless fairy.
"I'll go with you. Our lives as vampires are inherently on the verge of death, and I've already attained the strength of a prince. I won't lose to anyone."
Yuli stepped forward. Most vampires only had friendly relationships, lacking true friendship. These past few days with Li Aidan had given Yuli a taste of true friendship, so she absolutely wouldn't let Li Aidan go to his death alone.
"Although the Zombie King seems terrifying, I've been to the world between life and death before, and it's not that scary. So I'd like to see it too,"
Yang Yan said with a shrug.
"Your woman didn't actually fall into the hands of the Zombie King. That was just Yuri trying to trick you. You don't need to come with us to your death."
Li Aidan stared at Yang Yan's face for a while before saying this.
"I know. I went to see her before I came. She's currently under the strict protection of Boss Xu."
Yang Yan smiled slightly.
"Then you..."
Li Aidan didn't expect that Yang Yan knew all along that she and Yuri were deceiving him.
"Such a beautiful woman like you, and I haven't even had a relationship with you beyond friendship yet. It would be such a waste to let you die like this..."
Yang Yan replied seriously.
"You...you die, you big pervert..."
Li Aidan's Thunderclap Sword soared into the air.
"No! Our main enemy now is the Zombie King..."
Yuri grabbed Li Aidan...
"Mai, you guys wait for us outside."
Yang Yan said to Mai Shiranui.
"Protecting our master is a ninja's duty. Mai didn't ask her to do anything, but whatever she does, please let Mai stay by her side. Anyone who wants to harm our master will have to step over Mai's corpse to get to her."
Mai's eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
"Alright, you come with me. The other ninjas are too weak; let them stay outside."
Yang Yan said, looking at Mai.
"Let's take one last good look at the sky before we go. This might be the last time we see the full moon."
Li Aidan said.
"Don't worry, I'll enjoy eternal bliss and live as long as the heavens. No problem."
Yang Yan took the lead and walked into the gate piled with corpses.
A road paved with blood stretched straight ahead, seemingly without end. The entire world was covered in a strange gray, except for that bright red road of blood, which was particularly dazzling. Yang Yan and the other three strode along this road. The golden light emanating from the Thunderclap Sword in Li Aidan's hand illuminated a hundred feet around them; beyond that, it was still a terrifying gray.
"What are those?"
Several small black dots suddenly appeared ahead of the road, and Mai Shiranui was the first to spot them.
"The ninjas who came in to scout ahead of us,"
Yang Yan said calmly.
"No way, they look like they've been dead for years."
Yuri said in disbelief as she walked up to the ten corpses. All ten corpses were kneeling on the ground, their black ninja uniforms hanging loosely, their exposed bodies like dried tree bark covering bones—completely desiccated corpses that had been weathered for many years.
"They died recently, killed by the Zombie King. This technique of completely extracting human blood is the Zombie King's special skill for killing people,"
Li Aidan said confidently.
"Haha, as expected of an Emei disciple, daring to break into the Tower of a Thousand Corpses."
The Zombie King's ugly voice suddenly rang out, and the entire world seemed to be driven by a strange power. The scenery before their eyes blurred, and in the blink of an eye, the four of them appeared on a strange high platform.
"Woo..."
A terrifying and mournful wail rang out. The four looked towards the source of the sound and saw a large circular hole, about ten feet in diameter, in the center of the hundred-foot-wide platform. The sound was coming from this hole. As the four approached, they saw that the hole was about seven or eight feet deep. Dark red flames surged continuously from the bottom of the hole, and countless figures, charred black by the flames, kept wailing in pain, trying to climb out of the hole. Unfortunately, as soon as they got close to the hole, they were bounced back by lightning that appeared at the hole, and then continued to wail in pain as they climbed upwards.
"This isn't hell! This zombie dares to set up this soul-refining array here, forcing these innocent souls to suffer the torments of hell. It's utterly lawless!"
Li Aidan was furious. This kind of soul-refining array was only used by the most ferocious demons in legends. Even those in the evil path dared not touch it. This soul-refining array used demonic flames to slowly reduce the soul to the purest energy. The souls in this array felt the burning of flames a thousand times more painful than any torture. The intense pain and resentment caused these souls to release enormous resentment, and the resulting soul energy was the most evil source of energy in the universe. The use of this kind of soul-refining array has been absolutely forbidden since ancient times.
"Welcome to my Tower of a Thousand Corpses. Use their bodies to build this demonic tower that connects life and death, and then use their souls to gather the most powerful energy. Only a genius like me could create such perfect resource utilization."
The zombie king's ugly voice rang out not far away. On a chair made of bones, the zombie king's body, like a dried corpse, leaned weakly against the chair.
"You devil! What do you consider human life? Even among zombies, there's no one as heartless as you!"
Li Aidan roared in fury. Taoism centers on cultivating life and nourishing the soul; all their practices are for prolonging life. She had never imagined someone could be so vicious, not only killing but also refining the soul, utterly annihilating the victim and forever disappearing from the Three Realms and Six Paths.
"Haha, vicious? When you killed the Demon Queen, you were even more vicious than me!"
The Zombie King laughed, but seemed utterly powerless, his voice weak and unpleasant, yet filled with venomous hatred.
"Your Corpse King and Demon Queen, how many innocent people have you killed over the past few hundred years? We killed the Demon Queen, if you want revenge, come directly to Emei! You actually slaughtered innocent people indiscriminately!"
Li Aidan was extremely angry.
Chapter 41 The Arrival of the Super Beautiful and Sexy Goddess
"Haha, you are really generous. Your Emei Mountain has had more than ten generations of highly skilled cultivators take turns setting up this for over a thousand years, and there is also the Life and Death Obscurity and Brightness Two Elements Micro Dust Grand Array of the Long-Browed True Man protecting it. Do you think I can break through it with my own strength?"
The Zombie King's tone was full of sarcasm .
"He is stalling for time. All the energy here is gathering towards him, including his own energy, which is converging upwards."
Yang Yan suddenly said.
"What?"
Everyone involuntarily looked up at the sky. "
What is that?"
Everyone saw a huge black energy ball rapidly expanding hundreds of meters in the sky.
"You found it? Haha, even if you found it, it's not a big deal. Anyway, this array has already started operating, and there is no turning back now, haha..."
The Zombie King's weak laughter was particularly grating.
"Damn it, die!"
Li Aidan roared, his Thunderclap Sword transforming into a hundred-foot golden rainbow as it slashed directly at the Zombie King. Suddenly, a pure white light screen appeared before the Zombie King, instantly deflecting the Thunderclap Sword. A bright golden light surged from the white light screen, rising rapidly and merging into the massive black energy sphere in the blink of an eye.
"Stop attacking! The formation around the Zombie King is strange. Any attack will have its energy absorbed and replenished in that black sphere,"
Yang Yan stopped Li Aidan's second attack.
"Haha, not bad. Your attacks are only making the Zombie God descend faster,"
the Zombie King laughed smugly.
"The Zombie God?"
Everyone was astonished. Gods had disappeared from the world for many years, and miracles were becoming increasingly rare. If a god truly appeared, it would be an invincible being, especially a Zombie God. Considering the terrifying strength of zombies themselves, what kind of terrifying being could become their god? No one dared to underestimate this Zombie God, whom no one had ever heard of before.
"That's right, isn't your Emei sect supposed to be the number one orthodox sect in the world? Just wait until the great God of Zombies flattens Emei to the ground..."
The Zombie King's body seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, but his spirit seemed to be getting more and more excited.
"What exactly is the God of Zombies?"
Yang Yan asked Li Aidan.
"I'm not an omniscient person."
Li Aidan rolled her eyes at Yang Yan.
"Then at least tell us some of the main things about zombies."
Yang Yan looked at the Zombie King's current state and seemed to have a strange premonition, so he pressed Li Aidan for an answer.
"Information on zombies? According to the records of Mount Emei, the origin of zombies is untraceable. It is only known that zombies roamed before the Great Xia Dynasty. At the end of the Warring States period, due to the large number of deaths in the century-long war, zombies ran rampant. Later, after the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, he sent a large army to cooperate with sorcerers to exterminate them, finally eliminating most of the zombies. Later, some zombies were killed by human cultivators as soon as they appeared. A small number of zombies were able to escape the pursuit and evolve into powerful beings. In the records of these hundreds of years, this Zombie King is the only high-level zombie."
Li Aidan thought for a moment and said.
"So you don't have any records about the Zombie God?"
Yang Yan asked.
"No..."
Everyone fell silent.
"Haha, the energy is enough. I will now open the path to the world where the Zombie God is sleeping, awaken the Zombie God from his slumber, and then use boundless divine power to turn this world into a world of zombies, hahaha..."
The Zombie King's annoying voice rang out again.
The black energy sphere seemed to have absorbed enough energy, ceasing its expansion and rotation. After a few minutes of silence, an incredibly oppressive collapse sound rang out from the sphere. The energy sphere collapsed like a black hole, and in less than a minute, the massive sphere had completely condensed into a black dot. The huge gap in the air created by the collapse of the energy sphere was slowly filled again by the endless blackness.
"Southern fire, eastern wood, northern water, western metal, gathering the power of the four directions to the central earth, using blood as a catalyst, qi as a guide, and gods as a sacrifice, a thousand miles of fire, a lord slumbering for a thousand years, using this blood as a guide, traversing millions of years to arrive..."
A wound slowly split open on the Zombie King's forehead, and a drop of unusually active, bright red blood flowed from it, as if drawn by a strange force, slowly rising into the sky.
"Zombie blood, this is the lifeblood of a zombie. Once lost, it will revert to its original form, becoming an ordinary corpse. I didn't expect this zombie to have gone mad, even releasing its own lifeblood zombie blood,"
Li Aidan muttered to himself.
The drop of zombie blood rose faster and faster, until it shot out like a bullet, directly striking the black dot formed from the massive black energy sphere in mid-air. A blinding white light suddenly expanded, and a golden beam over ten feet thick shot into the sky, piercing straight through the gray mist. A deafening thunderclap followed, and the golden beam slowly faded, revealing a massive black spatial rift in the sky.
"What's there..."
Yang Yan felt a strange tremor in his heart.
"So, such powerful power..."
Shiranui Mai trembled as an unparalleled fiery aura swept over them from the spatial rift.
"..."
Li Aidan and Yuri seemed utterly powerless against the terrifying heat.
"Haha, this is the power of the Zombie God. Before this power, only zombies can move freely and gain even greater strength."
The Zombie King seemed to have fully recovered, his withered body regaining its rosy hue. Holding the Yaksha Demon Blade, he slowly approached the four.
"Fire Dance Butterfly Fan..."
Mai Shiranui laboriously drew out the divine weapon, the Fire Dance Butterfly Fan. A red light instantly enveloped her body, and Mai regained her mobility under the power of the Fire Dance Butterfly Fan.
"The power of a god needs the power of a god to counter it."
Yang Yan chuckled, a purple light flashing in his eyes, and he immediately moved freely.
"Fire Butterfly, come out."
At Yang Yan's command, the Fire Butterfly residing within the Fire Dance Butterfly Fan immediately reappeared.
"Go, help Mai, cut down that ugly zombie for me."
Yang Yan said calmly to the Fire Butterfly.
"Master, be careful, this seems to be the aura of a certain god."
The Fire Butterfly spread its wings and transformed into a red lightning bolt, disappearing into the Fire Dance Butterfly Fan. As the voice faded, the Fire God Domain that had appeared in the Japanese Imperial Palace opened again, but this time the domain seemed very small, only about ten feet in size.
"A domain... I didn't expect you could borrow domain-level power through a divine weapon. Well then, I'll show you the power I received from the God of Zombies."
A red light flashed in the Zombie King's eyes, and the Yaksha Demon Blade in his hand emitted a mournful howl. Starting from the Zombie King's feet, a hellish scene of accumulated bones fully unfolded.
"Besides being the power of a god, a domain is also an expression of the temperament of the one who constructs it. This domain exudes such terrifying death energy, completely different from the fiery aura of the object he borrows power from. It seems that his heart is filled with the will to die."
Yang Yan supported Li Aidan and Yuli with one hand each, and then said.
"Come on, stop arguing."
Shiranui Mai looked up. The terrifying power emanating from the huge spatial rift in the sky was definitely not something she could resist. She had to kill this annoying Zombie King as soon as possible and then take her master away from here. As Shiranui Mai's fighting spirit soared, the endless flames in the domain rose higher and brighter.
"Kill..."
The Zombie King suddenly roared, the domain contracted sharply, and the Yaksha Demon Blade suddenly enlarged dozens of times, transforming into a huge and terrifying weapon that slashed down at Shiranui Mai's head.
"Roar of the Vulcan..."
In the same instant, Mai Shiranui's domain shrank to about three meters. Her butterfly fan transformed into a spear, the spear carrying boundless fiery power, blocking the Yaksha Demon Blade in a split second. For a moment, everything seemed to be absolutely still. Where the two weapons clashed, space seemed to shatter and collapse bit by bit.
A deafening roar rang out, and the collapsing space exploded violently in an instant. Mai Shiranui and the Zombie King were both thrown back. Time resumed its flow, and the violent air currents turned into a raging storm.
The duel between two domain-level masters was no less than a live nuclear weapon; the immense destructive power plunged the entire space into a state of chaos.
"Haha, how about it? Are you getting less and less able to hold on? Weren't you very good at fighting? Don't be so weak, keep going, keep going..."
The Zombie King became increasingly frenzied, each strike of the Yaksha Demon Blade heavier than the last. After more than ten strikes, Mai Shiranui was clearly at a disadvantage, only able to passively defend.
"This is bad. The closer the Zombie God gets, the stronger his aura becomes, and the more power the Zombie King can borrow from him. Wu's power is no longer enough to fight him,"
Yang Yan said, frowning.
"You...you should run away..."
Li Aidan, completely suppressed by the Zombie God's power and unable to move, managed to say.
"Run away? If I could leave a woman behind and run away, I wouldn't be Yang Yan,"
Yang Yan shrugged indifferently, looking helpless.
"Beauty, live well, and I'll come back to take your virginity."
Yang Yan grabbed Li Aidan and kissed her red lips fiercely, his greedy tongue completely ignoring her resistance, exploring her warm, moist mouth. The inexperienced Li Aidan was no match for the veteran Yang Yan, and after a moment, she let out a seductive nasal sound.
"You too."
Releasing the panting Li Aidan, Yang Yan's lustful hand lingered on Yu Li's full breasts for a moment before he spoke with relish.
"I'll open a spatial gate so you can leave."
Yang Yan focused his power in his eyes, revealing the purple Eyes of Desire, and a spatial rift suddenly appeared before him.
"Let's go."
Yang Yan picked up a beautiful woman in each hand and threw them into the spatial rift.
Watching the two women disappear into the dark spatial rift, Yang Yan's gaze locked onto Shiranui Mai, who was already injured in several places and almost powerless to fight back.
"Let's temporarily block that passage of the Zombie God..."
Yang Yan frowned as he looked at the spatial gate in the sky. Although his strength surpassed that of ordinary people, and he possessed two supreme treasures, the Eyes of Desire and the Xuanyuan Mirror, he might have the upper hand against Shiranui Mai for a while, but once she unleashed her domain, he would be no match for her. Given the current monstrous level of the Zombie King, even he and Shiranui Mai together would definitely not be a match for him.
Yang Yan picked up a strange stone from the ground. This space was completely different from the real world; there was no soil, only hard stone, and the stone contained a very strange energy.
"Block that opening!"
Yang Yan's Eye of Desire flashed, a purple light sweeping across the stone. The stone instantly shot towards the spatial gate in the sky like lightning. As soon as it approached the gate, it inflated like a balloon, growing larger than the gate itself in an instant, perfectly blocking the crack.
"Die..."
The Zombie King unleashed a powerful slash at the barely defending Shiranui Mai, but in an instant, all the borrowed divine power vanished without a trace. Shiranui Mai's defense sent the Zombie King flying half a meter into the air.
"Don't stand there, let's go..."
Yang Yan grabbed the almost immobile Shiranui Mai and pulled her through the spatial rift that had opened towards him.
"Bang..."
A deafening roar erupted as the stone in the sky could no longer withstand the immense pressure from the spatial gate, instantly turning to dust.
"Don't even think about running..."
As the spatial gate reopened, the Zombie King fully regained his power, his black blade slashing towards the two fleeing figures at an unparalleled speed.
"Keep running..."
Yang Yan forcefully shoved Shiranui Mai, who wanted to turn back to fight, and commanded her in an unyielding voice.
"Master..."
Forced by Yang Yan's power, Shiranui Mai's body completely broke free from her control and continued to fly forward.
Using the force of that push, Yang Yan skillfully turned around, facing the Zombie King and the Yaksha Demon Blade head-on.
"Time Stop..."
The purple light in Yang Yan's eyes reappeared, and his long-hidden ultimate move was finally activated. The Eye of Desire is a demonic eye that rules over everything, and time is also subject to its rule. With the power of the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor at his peak, he could even reverse cause and effect and control the flow of time in the entire world. Although Yang Yan's current power is insignificant, he can still barely control a place and stop it for a very short time.
In an instant, the Zombie King and the Yaksha Demon Blade seemed to be frozen in mid-air. Yang Yan turned and ran wildly.
"Don't stand still, go in quickly..."
Looking at Shiranui Mai, who had stopped in front of the spatial rift he had created, Yang Yan kept giving orders.
"...Yes..."
Seeing Yang Yan approaching the spatial rift, Mai Shiranui hesitated for a moment before stepping into it first.
"That way..."
After borrowing divine power, the Zombie King's strength had clearly surpassed Mai Shiranui's. In just a few seconds, he broke free from the time barrier created by Yang Yan and chased after him with his sword.
"Close..."
Feeling the piercing blade light slashing towards him at an astonishing speed from behind, Yang Yan roared angrily, and the spatial rift suddenly shrank.
"Master..."
Realizing Yang Yan's situation was dire, Mai Shiranui was about to turn around when the terrifying force of the spatial rift closing directly blasted the weakened Mai Shiranui away. The spatial rift closed, and Yang Yan was completely trapped at the boundary between life and death.
The Yaksha Demon Blade's blade aura struck Yang Yan's back the instant the spatial rift closed. In extreme danger, Yang Yan roared, a golden light flashing behind him. He used the Xuanyuan Mirror, a priceless treasure, as a shield. With a deafening crash, although the Xuanyuan Mirror blocked the Yaksha Demon Blade's aura, its immense power, undiminished, still penetrated the mirror and struck Yang Yan. His body flew dozens of meters like a kite with a broken string.
"Since you let my prey go, then offer your head to the approaching God of Zombies."
The King of Zombies, his eyes gleaming with malice, strode towards Yang Yan, Yaksha Demon Blade in hand.
"Haha, no matter what, I've already taken my woman. And you? You're nothing but a pathetic worm who can't even save your own woman. I heard snake meat soup is the most nourishing in winter. When I get out, I'll dig up your wife's grave; a thousand-year-old mother snake soup would taste amazing."
Yang Yan coughed up blood as he mocked.
"You bastard, don't think I'll kill you so easily. I'll sever your tendons, then drag your women one by one to your feet and bite them to death right before your eyes..."
The Zombie King revealed a cruel smile, raising his Yaksha Demon Blade high.
"You bastard..."
Yang Yan glared fiercely at the Zombie King. Just as the Zombie King's Yaksha Demon Blade was about to strike, everything froze again. This time, it wasn't Yang Yan's half-baked time control, but an extremely powerful aura, aura that seemed to be tangible, sealing off everything in this world. The Zombie King and Yang Yan seemed to be simultaneously sealed into a transparent solid, their bodies unable to move except for their eyes.
Fiery red light surged from the spatial gate in the sky, and a ball of light, like a bright sun, passed through the spatial gate and entered this world.
As the sphere of light slowly dimmed, the figure of a long-haired beauty, towering a head above the average man, with a slender figure and an astonishing bust, appeared. This beauty was around twenty years old, her exquisite beauty surpassing any woman Yang Yan had ever known or seen. Her eyes, like shimmering gemstones, were exceptionally dazzling.
Her gaze swept over the zombie king and Yang Yan, who were completely captivated. Both felt as if they had been swept by an intense heat wave, their bodies burning with pain. When her gaze fell on Yang Yan, her eyes suddenly brightened a hundredfold. When her gaze returned to normal, she smiled sweetly at Yang Yan as if seeing her favorite lover. Yang Yan immediately felt the aura surrounding him become exceptionally gentle, his wounds being soothed by a warm aura, and the wounds began to heal at an astonishing speed under the stimulation of that aura.
It seemed this beautiful zombie goddess harbored no ill will towards him. Yang Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart finally settling back into his chest.
