Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Zhu Chongba listened to Chen Jie's words but said nothing. He just looked at Zhang Shicheng and said, "It's no use talking about anything else now. The real thing is to find a way to kill him. The power of that Tiger Soul Demon Blade should not be underestimated."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at Zhu Chongba, then turned to look at Zhang Shicheng. Zhang Shicheng, with a gloomy face, looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiu Si, you're meddling in other people's business too."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhang Shicheng and said, "What kind of talk is that? What do you mean I'm meddling in other people's business?"

"I was invited by Zhu Chongba to help him eliminate demons and uphold justice."

Chen explained, and Zhang Shicheng snorted coldly, "Heh, eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, am I a demon? You wouldn't call me a demon just because I cultivate the Nine Li Demon Art, would you?"

"You should know that the Nine Li Demonic Art is also engraved on the Human Emperor Stele in Kunlun Immortal Realm. My Nine Li have been descendants of the Chinese nation since ancient times, and my Nine Li were also one of the Human Emperors. Now you are calling me a demon, isn't that going too far?"

Chen Jie looked at Zhang Shicheng and said, "The devil resides in the heart, not in the person. Tell me, can devouring one's own kind be considered demonic? Can killing one's teachers and elders be considered demonic? Can colluding with the Japanese be considered demonic?"

Chen Jie's repeated questions made Zhang Shicheng frown deeply. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Hehe, you say it's demonic, then it's demonic. I have nothing to say to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at him and said, "In that case, let's get started!"

Zhang Shicheng said, "Wait a minute!"

Chen Jie frowned and said, "Hmm? Is there anything else you want to say?"

Zhang Shicheng said, "How about we make a deal? You stand by and watch me and Zhu Chongba fight it out, then you can come out and reap the benefits."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba glanced at Zhang Shicheng, his brows furrowed. Zhang Shicheng, on the other hand, looked at Chen Jie, thinking that his offer was quite good. Chen Jie could stand by and watch, and then reap the benefits after they were both exhausted. Why couldn't he do something so easy?

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhu Chongba, who replied, "Zhang Shicheng's ferocity is so great that if you agree, you are likely to fall into his trap. If he kills me, you will be left to fend for yourself!"

Zhang Shicheng said, "If you stop interfering today, I will give you 300,000 shi of grain on behalf of the Suzhou and Hangzhou prefectures. In addition, from now on, we will revise our alliance and not invade each other, becoming brotherly states. Is that alright?"

As Zhang Shicheng spoke, he raised his hand and said, "You and I have both reached the fourth level of the Fusion God realm. We should know that there is a Heavenly Dao in the unseen realm. I swear by the Heavenly Dao here. What do you think?"

"If I break my oath, may my cultivation never advance, and may I never hope to reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal in this lifetime!"

Zhang Shicheng raised his hand and swore an oath.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba frowned and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "Chen Jiu Si, you shouldn't be the kind of short-sighted person, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shicheng looked at Zhu Chongba and said, "Zhu Chongba, you don't need to say these useless things. Chen Jiusi won't listen to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhang Shicheng and said, "These conditions are indeed quite generous. I'm even a little envious. Unfortunately, we have different paths and cannot work together. Today, I can only let you go first."

Hearing Chen Jie's words, Zhu Chongba breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Shicheng frowned and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "You really made a foolish choice."

Chen Jie smiled without saying a word, while Zhu Chongba looked at Chen Jie and said, "What a fine saying, 'Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.' Chen Jiu Si, you and I are indeed people with the world in our hearts, unlike this person."

Zhang Shicheng frowned and said, "Zhu Chongba, stop pretending to be innocent after getting a good deal. How about this, since he won't cooperate with me, how about you cooperate with me? We'll join forces to kill Chen Jiu Si, and then send troops to divide up Chen Jiu Si's territory. At that time, we'll divide the land between the north and the south. The northern land will belong to you, and the southern land will belong to me. I can swear by the heavens that this is not a lie. Are you willing?"

Zhu Chongba chuckled and said, "How can a roc talk to a mayfly about the heavens? You are not on the same level as me and Chen Jiu Si. You have always thought about dividing the country along the Yangtze River, but in the five thousand years of Chinese history, although there have been periods of division and unity, anyone who wants to divide the world has never had a good end."

"What's more, you've committed a grave offense: you actually led Japanese troops into the Central Plains! This is a blatant betrayal of the Han people, and calling you a traitor wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

"You call me a traitor? How dare you! You even accepted the title of King of Wu bestowed upon you by Bao Qian. You've been Bao Qian's dog. How dare you speak ill of me? Don't you have any shame?"

Zhang Shicheng shouted at Zhu Chongba, who remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "My acceptance of Bao Qian's investiture was a temporary measure; you are a blatant traitor."

"Heh, if it's a temporary measure for you, why can't I?"

Zhang Shicheng shouted sternly, and Chen Jie said, "Although Zhu Chongba accepted Bao Qian's reward and was morally flawed, he did not cause any real harm to the Han people. But you led the Japanese bastards into the pass, killing countless Han people, oppressing countless people, and harming countless innocent women."

“I need to settle all these accounts with you clearly.”

"Furthermore, there's the grudge against the Grand Elder. You carry his aura; he should have died at your hands. I must avenge this!"

"In short, whether it's a personal grudge or a national hatred, you must die today!"

Chen explained.

Zhu Chongba then stepped forward and said, “Zhang Shicheng, you always think that everything can be traded, but let me tell you, the only thing in this world that cannot be traded is morality. You have lost your morality, and Heaven and Earth will not tolerate you.”

Morally deficient, morally reprehensible, hahaha...

"You two hypocrites, do you think you can cover up your greed with just a few words? Even if you kill me, you'll still turn on each other. What good are you anyway?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba said, "Whether we will kill each other is another question. Even if that day really comes, we must strive for peace for the world."

"Whether I win or Chen Jiu Si wins, at least we are a legitimate Han Chinese regime, and our troops are not composed of Japanese."

"So, is there anything you still don't understand?"

Zhu Chongba looked at Zhang Shicheng and asked, "So that's how it is, so that's how you think. But even so, what difference does it make if you unite?"

"I'll kill you all here today, and then this world will be mine!"

Zhang Shicheng said with bloodshot eyes, and upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba and Chen Jie exchanged a glance. Zhu Chongba said, "He said he's going to kill you and me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie chuckled and said, "It seems I'll be taking the blame for you. I hope you won't betray me behind my back."

Zhu Chongba's smile faltered for a moment, then he said, "We're brothers, there's no backstabbing between us. Why are you being so formal?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie chuckled and said, "I hope so."

After saying this, Chen Jie looked at Zhu Chongba and said, "Then please!"

"please!"

Zhu Chongba and Chen Jiusi each demonstrated a move, then looked at Zhang Shicheng. When Zhang Shicheng saw the two looking at him, he frowned, raised his Tiger Soul Blade, and said, "Back then, the Demon Lord Chiyou fought against Xuanyuan and Shennong."

"Today, I, Zhang Jiu Si, will fight you, Zhu Chong Ba, and Chen Jiu Si!"

"Let's see who truly reigns supreme!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shicheng had already made his move. He suddenly drew out the Tiger Soul Blade. There was no sound in the air, only the lava flowing on the blade and the howling of the demon general imprisoned within it.

He had reached the ninth level of the Nine Li Demon Art, nearing its peak. At this moment, his black robes billowed, his muscles bulged beneath, and dark red patterns began to appear on his skin.

Those are the Chi You demonic patterns that only appear when the Nine Li Demonic Arts are practiced to their ultimate level.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng swung his sword, and the blade sliced ​​through the air, tearing open a black rift. Inside the rift was a scene of the demon realm, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and countless demons.

Seeing this, Zhu Chongba slowly raised his right hand, palm down, and pressed it against the ground, suddenly activating the Xuanyuan Technique. In an instant, the entire Qixia Mountain's earth veins trembled, and a golden halo began to spread from beneath his feet as the power of Xuanyuan was channeled into the earth veins.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng slashed down with his sword, and suddenly the ground in front of Zhu Chongba rose up, followed by a mud wall engraved with golden oracle bone patterns.

[Earth Shield!]

At that moment, a loud explosion rang out as the blade's edge collided with the earthen wall, sending soil and stones flying. The oracle bone script characters lit up with golden light, actually dispersing the blade's energy.

At this moment, Chen Jiu Si also made a sudden move. He slowly raised his hand, his black clothes swaying. Then he stepped on the ground, and in an instant, the withered autumn grass near his feet began to turn green again, the withered wildflowers bloomed again, and the fallen trees began to slowly sprout new branches.

A vibrant natural landscape.

At this time, the life force of the character "Spring" in the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomena Formula is activated.

At this moment, he slowly raised his hand, and then the entire sky was suddenly enveloped in a red halo, as if the clouds in the sky were being burned by flames.

At that moment, he raised his hand, and instantly an endless sea of ​​fire appeared behind him. Then, he slowly raised his hand again, and in the next instant, he unleashed a palm strike at Zhang Shicheng: [Zhurong Divine Fire Palm]

Flames rose up, their light enveloping the surroundings.

A giant flaming palm suddenly slammed towards Zhang Shicheng. At this moment, Zhang Shicheng's eyes twitched, and his Tiger Soul Blade suddenly spun around, abandoning Zhu Chongba and directly slashing at Chen Jiu Si.

Before the blade even arrived, the demonic energy followed. The wails of the demon generals were enough to terrify an adult. Chen Jiu Si merely smiled at the sight.

His gaze held a newfound calmness.

The next moment, Zhu Rong's Divine Fire Palm suddenly transformed into a fiery hell, slamming fiercely onto the demonic energy. With a deafening boom, the demonic energy and flames vanished completely.

At this moment, Chen Jie was so shocked that he took two steps back.

Zhang Shicheng slashed out with his sword, and before the second strike could even return, Zhu Chongba attacked again. At this moment, Zhu Chongba suddenly activated the Xuanyuan Technique, and the next instant, imperial might filled the air as he raised his hand.

A terrifying pressure directly pressed down on Zhang Shicheng; it was an aura that could make all things instinctively submit.

That was the aura of the Human Emperor, the aura of the ruler of all under Heaven. At this moment, Zhu Chongba did not use any fancy moves, but simply pushed out a palm strike.

Suddenly, a terrifying power, as if divine might were bestowed upon him, came over him.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng brandished his sword to defend, and for a moment the world lost its color.

Gold and black, vitality and death, order and chaos—three completely different forces collide here.

boom!
The shockwave spread in a ring, and the entire ground was shattered by the shockwave. Grass, trees, rocks, and mountains were all flattened by this terrifying force.

Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked; streams flowed backward.

Chen Jie stood inside the shockwave circle and waved his hand, sending a yellowish-brown stream of air enveloping him.

The power of the Autumn God directly enveloped Chen Jie, allowing him to avoid the shockwave.

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng swung his sword again, and black demonic energy swept over. Seeing this, Chen Jie immediately activated the power in his body and suddenly activated the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique with all his might.

The next moment, the illusory images of the four gods appeared directly behind Chen Jie.

The Spring God Jumang rides a water buffalo backwards, holding a willow whip in his hand. With a casual flick, flowers bloom in profusion, full of vitality.

Zhu Rong, the god of summer, was covered in crimson flames, wielded snakes in his hands, and his gaze encompassed a world of fire.

Autumn, the earth, Mother Earth, with a wave of her hand, warms the earth, bringing spring and autumn harvests, and abundant fruits.

The Winter Goddess Xuanming appears when snowflakes fall from the sky and the cold wind blows, making the entire space seem to be frozen.

These are the four gods of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Zhang Shicheng stared coldly at the four gods of spring, summer, autumn and winter before him, slammed his Tiger Soul Blade down, and shouted, "Chi You's true form!"

boom!
Black energy shot straight up to the ninth heaven, and demonic energy swept forty thousand miles. The next moment, a terrifying demon god suddenly appeared behind Zhang Shicheng. It was tall, clad in heavy armor, and had two bull horns on its head, pointing straight to the sky.

He was holding the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand.

That was the phantom image of the Human Emperor Chi You. At this moment, Chi You stood with his eyes piercing through heaven and earth, and his feet stomped out, causing the earth to tremble violently. Behind him were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and nine layers of demonic caves.

The cacophony of noise filled the ears, instilling fear and extinguishing any will to fight.

"Demon Lord Chi You!"

Looking at the terrifying Demon Lord Chi You before him, Chen Jie murmured.

At that moment, Zhu Chongba suddenly shouted, and the Xuanyuan Qi behind him condensed wildly. A moment later, a man dressed in an imperial robe appeared.

The man had a resolute face and piercing eyes. He sat upright before the throne, receiving the worship of all.

That was none other than the first emperor of heaven and earth, the supreme human emperor, Xuanyuan Huangdi.

At this time, the Yellow Emperor sat on his throne, with a sword in the void beside him, which was the Xuanyuan Sword, the number one divine weapon in the world.

At this moment, Zhu Chongba shouted, "Zhang Shicheng, why don't you kneel down and surrender immediately?"

Zhang Shicheng roared, "Zhu Chongba, I, Zhang Shicheng, want the world! If you're not convinced, let's fight!"

Hearing the angry shout, Zhu Chongba laughed loudly and said, "Come on, let's fight!"

As he spoke, Zhu Chongba suddenly struck Zhang Shicheng with a palm strike, the palm force, a dark yellow color, containing boundless qi.

Zhang Shicheng roared, "Die!"

After saying that, he suddenly slashed down with the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand.

At this moment, Chen Jie also roared, "The four gods unite as one, the winter god Xuanming!"

After saying that, he slapped out hard with his palm.

In an instant, the Winter God Xuanming absorbed the power of the three gods and then struck Zhang Shicheng with a palm.

At this moment, the Human Emperor's Three Divine Skills reached their peak; this attack seemed poised to determine a victor! (End of Chapter)
