Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

boom.

Zhang Lingshan entered the attic, stepped down, and created a large hole in the ground, revealing the woman imprisoned in the basement cage.

The woman was disheveled and unkempt, with a hunched and thin figure, and looked like she hadn't eaten in a long time.

At their level, they don't really need to eat, but they do need the vital energy of heaven and earth to replenish themselves in order to sustain their daily life.

However, it was clear that this woman was not qualified to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. She was imprisoned here, and array patterns covered the area, restricting the flow of spiritual energy.

This cage-like chamber contained only a very small amount of spiritual energy, which was only enough to sustain the woman's life and allow her to linger on.

"who are you?"

The woman looked up abruptly and saw Zhang Lingshan's unfamiliar face, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Zhang Lingshan said, "Come out and talk."

As he spoke, he lifted the woman out with his right hand.

The woman's eyes showed utter shock.

Having been imprisoned for so long, she knew how powerful Yu Yang's array techniques were. Yet this person could ignore Yu Yang's array, not only destroying the pavilion but also bringing her out effortlessly.

That's amazing!
Who is this person?

While she was still confused and shocked, the woman suddenly saw Yu Yang behind Zhang Lingshan, his face covered in footprints, covered in dirt, hunched over, and looking old. She was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, Yu Yang, you really got your comeuppance. You deserve it. Hahaha, you deserve it, it's your retribution."

The woman laughed so hard she almost fell over, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Suddenly she burst into tears, letting out a heart-wrenching howl, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.

She was crying and laughing at the same time, acting like she was going crazy.

"okay."

Zhang Lingshan interrupted her, saying, "I've given you time to vent, and now it's about time. Tell me, who are you to Yu Yang, and why are you being held here? Keep it brief, we need to leave as soon as possible. This place is now in ruins; we need to find somewhere else to make a living."

The woman was slightly stunned, as if she hadn't yet recovered from her crying and screaming.

but.

Seeing Zhang Lingshan's impatient look, she immediately felt a chill and said, "My name is Xiao Chuxiao, and I am a member of the Xiao family in Xuanjiang Region."

"Yu Yang ascended to heaven and joined one of the mines under our Xiao family. Because he was good at array formations, he was promoted. After that, he met me and flattered me in every way. Finally, he deceived me and made me marry him."

"I am a direct descendant of the Xiao family, and my dowry is extremely generous. Yu Yang obtained my dowry and then tricked me into coming out with him to make my way in the world."

"In the end, he trapped me here, while he himself set up an array to rule over the surrounding area and secretly devour the fortune."

At this point, Xiao Chuxiao looked up and gazed into the distance.

She reacted quickly, and being a person from the upper realm and a direct descendant of the Xiao family, she knew a lot. Therefore, she immediately realized what was going on and sighed, "It seems that Yu Yang has gone too far in his actions. In the end, he has ruined the fortune of this place."

"It's unjust."

Yu Yang cried out urgently, “Your Majesty, she is slandering me. She took a fancy to me and pursued me relentlessly, which is why I reluctantly agreed to marry her. When I married her, I said that I could not stay in the Xiao family, and she agreed, which is why I left the Xiao family with her. As for locking her up here, it is because she wanted to hire people from the Xiao family to kill me, and I had no choice but to do so. Your Majesty, you must investigate clearly and not believe her one-sided story.”

Xiao Chuxiao roared, "You clearly knew my identity and coveted my dowry, which is why you relentlessly pursued me and deceived me. At that time, despite your skill in formations, you were still just a servant under my Xiao family. You weren't even worthy to speak to me; you had to go through the steward of my Xiao family. I was blind to have given up being a young lady of the Xiao family to be deceived by your sweet words. I regret it so much, I hate it so much!"

Yu Yang cursed, "You have the nerve to say that with your ugly face. You've become somewhat presentable after being starved thin. If the King knew what a pig's head you used to look like, he would understand that it was you, this pig's head, who relentlessly pursued me and pressured me with your status as the direct descendant of the Xiao family. Otherwise, why would I, Yu Yang, a handsome man, marry an ugly monster like you?"

You said I'm ugly?!

Xiao Chuxiao trembled with rage: "Yu Yang, you're a beast! From the very beginning, all you wanted was my dowry. You have absolutely no sense of loyalty, you're utterly shameless! You're despicable!"

Yu Yang said, "You covet my beauty. It's pitiful that I, a handsome and dashing man with a bright future, have been targeted by a pig like you. I'm miserable."

The two exchanged insults and curses.

If Zhang Lingshan hadn't been there, the two of them probably would have started fighting.

"okay!"

Zhang Lingshan shouted sternly.

The couple's hearts skipped a beat, and they immediately stopped, their faces showing tension.

Regardless of their internal conflicts, they are now like fish in Zhang Lingshan's hands, at his mercy.

If this guy in front of them gets unhappy, he can kill them both, and it won't matter who they complain to.

Therefore, upon seeing Zhang Lingshan's impatient expression, the two of them were immediately terrified.

Yu Yang never wanted to die.

When Xiao Chuxiao was imprisoned down there, she may have been contemplating suicide, but now that she's out alive and has hope again, she naturally doesn't want to die anymore.

As the two waited anxiously, Zhang Lingshan finally spoke, saying, "I don't want to get involved in your messy affairs. I just want to know who will be useful to me next. Those who are useful will live, and those who are useless will die."

“I’m useful!”

Yu Yang hurriedly exclaimed, "Before joining the Xiao family, I ventured into many towns and forces, and I am very familiar with the Xuanjiang Region. Moreover, the path I followed was one suitable for those of us who are about to ascend. Compared to Xiao Chuxiao, this sheltered young lady, my experience is the most valuable experience for Your Majesty."

"Oh? Not bad." Zhang Lingshan nodded.

Xiao Chuxiao hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty."

She didn't know who Zhang Lingshan was, so she could only address him as "Your Majesty" along with Yu Yang, saying, "Our Xiao family's influence extends to many towns. Your Majesty, since you saved me, you can join our Xiao family as a guest minister. Not only will you gain access to most of the intelligence our Xiao family has collected, but you also won't have to be forced to go on missions. In other words, you are free to do whatever you want, as long as you don't harm our Xiao family."

"good."

Zhang Lingshan nodded again.

Yu Yang said, "Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by her. The Xiao family is a powerful local force. If you go to the Xiao family, you will probably never return. They do things without regard to personal feelings. They will not care whether you saved Xiao Chuxiao or not, but only whether you have any value to them. And Your Majesty is an extraordinary person. If you go there, you will definitely be captured and torn apart alive."

"Nonsense. If our Xiao family were that bad, would you have come out alive?" Xiao Chuxiao retorted angrily.

Yu Yang said, "That's because I've been on guard against you all along. Besides, my formation..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, sensing something was wrong.

I shouldn't have mentioned the formation.

If he was able to escape from the Xiao family because of his formation, then Zhang Lingshan's formation was even stronger, so he had even less reason to fear the Xiao family.

then.

Yu Yang quickly changed his tune, saying, "Your Majesty, because I left the Xiao family through an array and then went into hiding in this remote place, the Xiao family will definitely be extra careful with arrays. Although you have extraordinary array skills, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. I think you should not trust Xiao Chuxiao, and you should not go to the Xiao family."

Zhang Lingshan looked thoughtful.

Xiao Chuxiao said urgently, "Yu Yang, you brought me to this remote place, and our Xiao family didn't even send anyone to capture you. This shows how benevolent our Xiao family is. How dare you slander the Xiao family like this! You really have no heart! You are heartless! You deserve to die a horrible death!"

"Your Majesty, everything I have said is true; these are my heartfelt words."

Yu Yang ignored Xiao Chuxiao and bowed to Zhang Lingshan.

Xiao Chuxiao cried out, "Your Majesty, you must not trust him. Whatever you need, our Xiao family can provide. My help to you will be far greater than that of Yang."

"hehe."

Zhang Lingshan suddenly laughed.

Yu Yang and Xiao Chuxiao were chilled to the bone by the laughter, their hearts filled with extreme anxiety, knowing that their lives were in the other's hands.

Then Zhang Lingshan said, "Hearing what you've said, I feel that both of you are useful. You are both rare talents."

Yu Yang and Xiao Chuxiao did not expect this outcome, but they still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

but.

Zhang Lingshan added, "However, I already have too many people around me, and I still have to kill one of them eventually. Yu Yang, then I'll just have to trouble you."

The reason for killing Yu Yang was that Zhang Lingshan had witnessed his evil deeds firsthand.

Whether it was Yu Yang descending to the mortal realm to manifest his divine power, or setting up an array within this vast area to devour fortune, it all proved that he deserved to be killed.

As for Xiao Chuxiao, Zhang Lingshan was not familiar with her, so he decided to give her a chance to prove herself for the time being.

"Why... why!?"

Yu Yang stumbled back three steps, completely flustered.

Both of them were valuable, so why kill him?

"because I like it."

As Zhang Lingshan spoke, he raised his right hand, ready to strike Yu Yang to death with a single blow.

but.

at this time.

Then Yu Yang and Xiao Chuxiao shouted in unison, "No!"

"Ok?"

Zhang Lingshan looked at Xiao Chuxiao with a puzzled expression.

Do you love each other that much?

I can understand Yu Yang saying no, but what kind of lunatic are you to say no to?

Xiao Chuxiao quickly explained, "Your Majesty, Yu Yang and I used a secret technique to link our lives together. If you kill him, I will also die."

"So troublesome?"

Zhang Lingshan frowned.

damn it.

You two knew this, why didn't you say so earlier? Since you're connected, it means I can't kill either of you.

If I had said so earlier, wouldn't we have avoided this long debate?

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you kill me, Xiao Chuxiao will also die. Since we are all useful, why don't you take us with you? I promise I will definitely help Your Majesty solve your problems and play my part."

Yu Yang grasped at a straw and hurriedly flattered him. Zhang Lingshan ignored him, pondered for a long time, then grabbed Yu Yang, and with both hands exerting force, imbuing him with the life essence of flames, mystic ice, and clouds, he kneaded, compressed, and melted Yu Yang...

"what!!!"

The piercing screams were incessant.

Xiao Chuxiao's face turned pale, and she trembled so badly that she almost fell to the ground and soiled herself.

What method is this?
Why is it that even though he rolled Yu Yang into a small ball the size of a palm, Yu Yang is still alive?

Although Yu Yang could no longer scream, his vitality still remained, and Xiao Chuxiao, no matter how weak he was, could sense this.

after all.

If Yu Yang's life ends, then I will die instantly.

And now.

Yu Yangming had completely lost his human form, his entire body condensed into a small ball, yet he was still alive.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe that the little ball in front of you is actually Yu Yang?

terror.

so horrible!

How could there be such a terrifying person, with such terrifying methods?

Today, the other party chose Yu Yang. If they had chosen Xiao Chuxiao instead, then it would probably be Xiao Chuxiao who is being squeezed into a ball right now.

Faced with this young man who was both cruel and terrifying, and whose methods were beyond comprehension, Xiao Chuxiao felt an immense fear in her heart.

She knelt on the ground, not daring to move, for fear that the other party would get carried away and ravage her too.

"Don't be afraid, I'm actually a good person. You can ask around if you don't believe me."

Zhang Lingshan tossed the spherical Yu Yang into a spirit beast bag, then turned around and saw Xiao Chuxiao trembling, offering her words of comfort.

This is not just idle talk.

Everyone in the Nine Provinces Continent knows that if it weren't for Zhang Lingshan, the Nine Provinces Continent would be gone.

If this doesn't count as a good person, then what is?

However, Xiao Chuxiao knew nothing of this. All she knew was that Yu Yang was being crumpled into a ball right in front of her, and that the other party had told her to go and find out more.

Who should I ask?

Should we ask Yu Yang about it?

The other party was clearly joking.

Since the king is joking, as a lowly servant, if I don't laugh, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the king?

Xiao Chuxiao forced a smile and said, "This humble servant believes in Your Majesty. Yu Yang is a wicked man who deserves to die. It would be an honor for him to be killed by Your Majesty!"

"Heh, I didn't kill him. If I had, wouldn't you be dead too?"

Zhang Lingshan smiled faintly.

The reason why Yu Yang could be rolled into a ball and not die was not only because of the fire and the ice, but also because of the life essence of the clouds.

Burning and freezing both deplete Yu Yang's life force. If it weren't for the life essence of the clouds constantly helping Yu Yang heal, Yu Yang would have died long ago. How could he have survived until the end and turned into a ball?

Of course.

During the process of being healed by the life essence of the clouds, Yu Yang's physical body went through countless cycles of depletion and repair, and the pain he endured was unimaginable.

Fortunately, Xiao Chuxiao and Yu Yang were only connected by life, not by perception.

otherwise.

Even if Xiao Chuxiao hadn't turned into a ball, she would have suffered a mental breakdown and become a walking corpse due to the endless pain.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, you did not kill him. It was I who misspoke."

Xiao Chuxiao quickly apologized.

Zhang Lingshan said dismissively, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You rest here for a while, and after I've moved all of the Yu family's things out, we'll leave."

Say it.

He moved swiftly and left the place immediately.

Zhang Lingshan didn't need to apply any array patterns or other means to control Xiao Chuxiao.

Because Yu Yang is entirely in their hands, if Xiao Chuxiao dares to cause trouble, she will never be able to leave the Yu family.

Yu Yang is like a death warrant, deciding Xiao Chuxiao's life.

The Yu family's estate is quite large.

For an ordinary person, just searching for the treasure vault or the various treasures hidden within would take an unknown amount of time.

but.

Zhang Lingshan is no ordinary person, and what he possesses is a divine consciousness that transcends this realm.

The reason why I was able to find Xiao Chuxiao's existence so easily was because of my divine sense.

now.

With his divine sense covering everything, Zhang Lingshan found all the treasures the Yu family possessed.

However, the level of immortal consciousness has not yet been raised.

The area that needs to be covered is not small.

Before long, Zhang Lingshan could no longer hold on.

'The consumption is still quite high.'

Zhang Lingshan sighed inwardly, then quickly searched through the Yu family's treasures for rare and precious materials to enhance divine sense.

pity.

He didn't recognize almost any of the rare and precious materials in this mortal realm.

Left with no other choice, Zhang Lingshan took out the spherical Yu Yang from his spirit beast pouch and communicated with it.

However, he discovered that Yu Yang was completely ruined. It seemed that he could not bear the previous painful transformation and his entire mind had collapsed, making him unable to communicate at all.

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I should have let Yu Yang introduce all the treasures of the Yu family before turning him into a ball.

That opportunity is no longer available.

'It seems I'll have to ask Xiao Chuxiao to introduce me. But Yu Yang said Xiao Chuxiao is a sheltered young lady who never leaves the house; her knowledge and experience are probably far inferior to Yu Yang's.'

Zhang Lingshan shook his head secretly.

If it weren't for Yu Yang's penchant for devouring luck and his extremely malicious methods, I would never have crippled him so easily; instead, I would have kept his useful body.

'Huh, what's this...'

Zhang Lingshan held the spherical Yu Yang in his hand, when suddenly his mind stirred and he felt as if lightning was leaping at his fingertips.

wrong.

It wasn't that there were lightning bolts at his fingertips, but rather that lightning bolts were prominently displayed on the spherical Yu Yang. He was startled by this thing.

but.

How could there be lightning on the spherical Yu Yang's body?

Moreover, this lightning seemed somewhat familiar.

'It's a tribulation of lightning!'

Zhang Lingshan's heart skipped a beat, filled with both surprise and delight.

The lightning bolts were definitely not something Yu Yang had acquired through his own cultivation techniques; otherwise, he would have used them to attack him during their fight.

and so.

It could only be that when he turned him into a ball, he unintentionally imbued him with lightning.

Then the problem is coming.

How did the lightning in his hand endow Yu Yang with such power?
But how did the lightning in his hand come about?

Zhang Lingshan fell into deep thought.

Half a day passed.

He carefully sensed the lightning emanating from the spherical Yu Yang, and finally, he understood something.

It's the life essence of the clouds!
When he withstood the lightning tribulation, he had imbued himself with the life essence of clouds as armor.

The power of lightning during the tribulation was perfectly integrated into the life essence of the clouds.

But why didn't the power of lightning merge into his immortal body, but instead merged into the life essence of the clouds?

Zhang Lingshan thought about it for a long time before he finally understood.

'Within the tribulation of lightning, there lies the rule of life! This is a power that lives on the brink of death.'

In an instant.

The panel seemed to have received Zhang Lingshan's insight and changed accordingly.
