Republic of China

Chapter 403 As long as he dies
Master Gong, whose real name is Bai Yan Gong, is a Bai family immortal and belongs to the outer five elements. It is unknown which generation of the Che family immortal clan formed a good relationship with him, but Che Lizi has known about his existence since she was a child.

While Bai Yangong is indeed an old spirit, to be precise, he is both a guardian deity and a benefactor, not involved in human affairs. He spends most of his time busy with his own affairs. In layman's terms, he protects the Che family and doesn't care about any merits. Therefore, he rarely shows his face, unlike Zhao Sanyuan's group. He will leave when he feels that he has repaid the debt of gratitude and the relationship has ended.

"A few wisps of immortal energy won't do much good. My true body is with your grandfather, so it will take some time to get here. I'm only doing this because I've asked the City Gods along the way for help."

Cherry grinned. "Better late than never. Heaven won't let my old Cherry family line die out. I'm really sorry tonight, I've really let my old man down."

If it were any other immortal, it would be difficult for them to recover. They had just suffered severe shock due to excessive blood loss. If it weren't for the Bai family immortals being the best at medicine and forcibly replenishing their vital energy, they wouldn't be awake now.

But now is not the time for sentimentality. Although her life has been temporarily saved, Cherry understands that Bai Yangong's combat strength is almost negligible in this situation. The Bai family's immortal medical path is the strongest, but they are not good at fighting. They are good at taking a beating.

So Cherry, as a second choice, asked Bai Yangong sincerely if he could get Zhao Sanyuan sorted out first, since it would be better for him to be sober than to be controlled by him.

Bai Yangong's answer was reasonable. He said that he could tell at a glance that the person had been poisoned by the Three Corpse Poison. Even if there were a hundred or eighty more Bai family immortals, or even if the great immortal protector, Old Lady Hei, came, it would be useless, because it does not involve medicine at all, and it is not something that immortals can manage.

While they were exchanging telepathic messages, Tsuchimikado Touki certainly wasn't going to stand there like an idiot.

Don't even mention your Bai family immortals, so what if a famous immortal from the immortal register came?

The decision to launch the attack tonight was made after thorough preparation.

Tsuchimikado Touki threw away half of the bronze mirror, and a white light flashed from his sleeve, held between two fingers.

It looks like just a paper doll with not many spells on it. The only thing worth noting is that the connection between the paper doll's head and torso is a bit strange.

He held a paper figure between two fingers and stood in front of him, while his other hand shook a magic hammer, his deep incantation gradually increasing in speed.

Bai Yan Gong was quite perceptive. As soon as Tsuchimikado Tou Qiu began casting his spell, he sensed that the visitor was up to no good, so he had to figure out how determined Cherry was first.

"Kid, are you sure you want to get involved in this mess? You can still leave now, otherwise you might not make it out alive."

Cherry kicked Zhao Sanyuan's butt and chuckled, "I helped him so much, he'll have to kowtow to me a few times afterward, right? I can't die for that."

He then turned to Tsuchimikado Touki and said coldly, "Besides, things have come to this point. Whether I live or die is irrelevant. Tonight, I only want him to die."

Just as he said, things have come to this point, and Tsuchimikado Touki will never let him leave alive; tonight, it will be a fight to the death.

The paper figure at her fingertips was suddenly thrown to the ground.

A very tall figure slowly stood up, at least two meters tall, surrounded by ominous black clouds.

Its hair was disheveled, obscuring its facial features. Underneath its coarse linen clothing, its skin was grayish-brown, and it held an old, large katana in each hand.

Judging from the aura it exudes, it is by no means ordinary.

Bai Yangong slapped his forehead, shook his head, and sighed, "Forget it, if I don't go all out, you'll probably die in an instant. I should protect your Che family for another two generations, but if you die tonight, the Che family's lineage will be completely extinguished."

After speaking, it turned into wisps of green smoke that flowed into the cherry's ears, nose, mouth, and eyes, greatly invigorating its spirit.

Tsuchimikado Touki spoke again, “I must admit that I underestimated the art of the puppeteer before. I never thought that you could use a living person to forge weapons, and even use them to unleash their abilities. But it seems that you are still lacking in this move. You can only stimulate his physical potential, and as for his magic, you need time to search his soul. If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but as for Zhao Sang, hehe.”

Cherry sneered, "You son of a bitch, come and try if you dare."

Despite the criticism, I felt quite helpless.

That's right, it's one thing to be good at a few things, but this guy with the dead fish eyes knows way too many. And divine skills like Summoning All Gods require a whole host of prerequisites to use. Not to mention the Three Emperors Sword, just the way it circulates Qi is enough to drive anyone crazy. It's impossible to master it in a short time. Are you expecting him to figure out how to circulate Qi while fighting? He'd probably be killed by the opponent before he could even fart.

Immediately after the wind and snow stopped abruptly and then suddenly swept up again, he quickly put a slightly orange-colored shrapnel lens into his eye socket.

Through the lens, I could clearly see the mysterious shikigami summoned by Tsuchimikado Touki arriving with its sword drawn.

Ding--

Sparks flew.

In the critical moment, he urged Zhao Sanyuan to use his sword to defend, but the sword was so powerful that it sent the two of them flying.

"What the hell is that thing! It has such a strong grip!"

With a bang, several fire talismans were activated, and Zhao Sanyuan gripped his sword with both hands, swinging his sword wildly. For a moment, the sword flashed and clashed.

Cherry secretly rejoiced countless times that Zhao Sanyuan was skilled in martial arts; if he were a player with a serious imbalance in his skills like herself, he would probably have been defeated long ago.

Amidst her sigh, a sense of crisis grew closer, and Cherry quickly turned around and raised her arms to block, only to be met with a sharp pain the next moment.

It turned out that Tsuchimikado Touki wasn't standing there, and he took advantage of the gap to launch a sneak attack.

He took a solid hit from a thousand hammer blows, and even with Bai Yan's powerful acupoints, he was still somewhat overwhelmed and felt excruciating pain.

Fortunately, Tsuchimikado Touki's punches and kicks weren't as powerful as I'd imagined; otherwise, if he'd been a step behind, he would have definitely been caught off guard and beaten to death.

If you don't have any magical weapons, you only have Zhao Sanyuan. You definitely can't win a head-on confrontation.

Seeing that Cherry's eyes were darting around and she seemed to be retreating, Tsuchimikado Touki would not let her go. He repeatedly urged his Thousand Treasure Hammer to launch a counterattack, while the shikigami he summoned were completely unaffected. His ability to multitask was a testament to his prowess.

In the midst of shifting and maneuvering.

Boom boom boom—

First came two muffled thuds.

This time, the cherry was struck repeatedly by the Thousand Treasure Hammer, the force of which was so great that it tore the outer robe to shreds.

However, the damage was not significant. No injuries were visible on the exposed arms, and a layer of something resembling silver scales flashed by.

Cherry grinned maliciously. As long as he could withstand those two blows and not be maimed or killed, he would be fine.

Behind him burst into flames, Zhao Sanyuan, wielding a flaming blade, swept past, sending the nameless shikigami's head flying high into the air. Five triangular command flags had appeared around the shikigami at some unknown time.

The Eight Trigrams Flowing Cloud Formation.

However, Tsuchimikado Touki remained completely calm and responded with a smile that said, "You're still too green."

The next moment, the shikigami's head, which had been cleaved away, flew back, its blood-red fangs and three eyes standing upright. After biting away the command flags one by one, it bit out a large katana from the cut on its own neck.

Three swords slashed simultaneously!
