Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 997 Returning to Raize and Making His Own Appearance (4K6, Requesting Monthly Tickets~)

A flash of sword light, and Gao Yang appeared outside Gan Yue City.

He glanced back at the still bustling Gan Yue City behind him, then flew off into the distance.

He had already obtained the answer to the question he cared about most from Master Ganyue.

Next, all he needs to do is gather the total fortune of a hundred Great Luo Golden Immortals within the allotted time, thereby gaining the qualification to leave the Southern Continent.

Gao Yang set a timeframe of two years for collecting the auspicious energy.

After arriving in Dongsheng Shenzhou, he still needed time to visit the Zhu clan and then search for a breakthrough method for the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

However, to gather the total fortune of a hundred Great Luo Golden Immortals within just two years, ordinary, methodical hunting methods simply cannot achieve this goal.

Only by making the whole world his enemy, and only by letting others take the initiative to kill him, can he attract enough Great Luo Golden Immortals, or even Quasi-Saints, to take action against him in a short period of time.

Only in this way can Gao Yang gather enough luck.

As for whether Jambudvipa has so many Great Immortals, he has no need to worry about that at all.

Putting aside other things, just considering the human race alone, there is a Quasi-Saint and a handful of other Quasi-Saints in the Southern Continent. The number of Great Luo Golden Immortals is no less than that of Quasi-Saints, at least several dozen or even over a hundred.

As Master Ganyue once said, one should not provoke humans or Taoists, but the power of the human race is such that other forces such as witches, demons, and Buddhas are not much weaker.

As Gao Yang flew through the sky, his mind was filled with a constant stream of thoughts.

Since humans and Taoists are not in a position to take the initiative, the three groups that can take the initiative are the witches, demons, and Buddhas.

When he arrived in Jambudvipa, the Wu tribe clashed with him, and now they have issued a manhunt for him. This is something he needs to take advantage of.

If any Buddhist disciples or followers of the Western religion provoke him, he will be killed without hesitation.

As for the demon race, there's no question about it; if you encounter them, just kill them.

In just a few breaths, Gao Yang had already finalized his plans for the next period of time.

He actively opposes the Witch Clan, attracting their Golden Immortal experts to kill him. At the same time, he travels through the Southern Continent, heading to the places where the Demon Clan gathers, slaying the Demon Clan and collecting their fortune. He can also obtain a large amount of demon beast materials.

Thinking of this, Gao Yang thought to himself, "Doing this would be too high-profile. I should restrain myself a bit and try not to provoke the Quasi-Saint to attack me."

Opponents at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level no longer pose much of a threat to him. Even the Quasi-Saints of the Southern Continent are a force to be reckoned with for Gao Yang.

However, if the Second Saint were to personally arrive, it would be somewhat dangerous. Therefore, the matter can be done, but he needs to carefully manage the degree of intervention.

Call ~
Gently exhaling the stale air from his chest, Gao Yang turned around and flew towards the direction of the Thunder Marsh where he had started.

Since we have already decided to make the Witch Clan our main source of fortune, let's start with Lei Jingtian, the chieftain of the Leize Witch Clan.

The other party issued a kill order to the entire witch clan, which attracted the red-haired strong man to come and hunt him down.

Gao Yang wanted to know exactly how many tracking Gu worms Lei Jingtian had, and how they were connected to the entire Witch Clan.

Within the Thunder Swamp, Lei Jingtian sat cross-legged on the back of a massive black ox with one leg. In front of him, a black-armored Gu worm rose and fell in a circular Gu basin.

Several days have passed, and the Crimson Flame Clan was the fastest to respond and act.

Others might not know, but Lei Jingtian knew all too well that the Golden Immortal Flame Tiger of the Crimson Flame Clan had already died at the hands of that human sword demon.

Because the tracking worms he released were already dead.

Lei Jingtian was unaware that Yan Hu had revealed the details of tracking the Gu worms and the Wu Clan's kill order.

For this reason, he has been guarding the area outside the Leize Witch Clan alone for the past few days, watching out for the human sword demon who might arrive.

Suddenly, a sword light flashed before his eyes, and Lei Jingtian was startled. Countless bolts of lightning instantly connected him with the one-horned thunder bull beneath him, which possessed the bloodline of the Kui Niu.

In an instant, raging thunder enveloped Lei Jingtian and the One-Horned Thunder Bull, with each booming sound echoing throughout the land.

Lei Jingtian stood on Lei Niu's broad back, his eyes gleaming with dazzling lightning as he looked at the black-haired, black-eyed man opposite him, and said slowly, "Yan Hu is dead?"

Gao Yang did not answer, but nodded slightly.

Lei Jingtian chuckled and looked at Gao Yang, saying, "It's good that they're dead. The Crimson Flame Clan is always at odds with our Thunder Swamp Clan, and the two clans are constantly fighting each other."

I knew the Crimson Flame Clan would be the first to respond to this pursuit.

Those who responded first naturally died the fastest. That stupid tiger certainly didn't know that Lei Ying was beheaded by your sword, his body and soul annihilated instantly, hahaha."

Facing Lei Jingtian's hearty laughter, Gao Yang calmly asked, "Are you finished?"

"Finished? Of course not!"

Lei Jingtian looked at Gao Yang and continued, "Do you know that when Lei Ying died, I didn't feel much sadness? Because it was the fate of the Wu Clan, and even more so the fate of hundreds of millions of living beings in the entire Southern Continent."

But when I learned of Red Tiger's death, I knew you would come looking for me.

Before the battle begins, can you tell me why you chose my Razer Witch Clan?

The only response to Lei Jingtian was a magnificent sword cry that soared into the sky.

The next moment, the world was ablaze with white light, and a great sun seemed to fall into the sky.

Feeling the scorching heat emanating from the blazing sun and the soaring sword energy, Lei Jingtian no longer held any hope of survival, and simply muttered to himself:
"So Lei Ying died from such an attack."

The next instant, a violent bolt of lightning exploded from Lei Jingtian's magnificent body.

A thunderous bellow, like a mountain collapsing, accompanied by blinding lightning, spread in all directions. In just an instant, a thunderous inferno was formed, encompassing the great sun that Gao Yang had transformed into.

Lei Jingtian held a hammer in his right hand and a nail in his left, with lightning surging around him.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his right hand high and, without hesitation, struck the end of the nail on his arm with a heavy blow.

Boom!

The moment the hammer and nail collided, the entire world trembled, and a thick bolt of lightning shot out from the tip of the nail, instantly striking the great sun that Gao Yang had transformed into.

The power to destroy everything was upon him, yet it could not penetrate the layer of solar battle aura on Gao Yang's body.

Gao Yang wielded Yongyao and delivered a powerful, unadorned strike.

Yongyao transformed into a hundred-zhang-sized creature, emitting a muffled shriek. Wherever it passed, both thunder and space collapsed.

when!
The resounding clang of metal clashing echoed outwards. Centered on Lei Jingtian, the lightning around him instantly extinguished, and a massive, bloody crater was blasted into the broad back of the unicorn thunder bull beneath his feet. Within a diameter of tens of kilometers centered on the unicorn thunder bull, the land began to surge outwards like waves.

Lei Jingtian braced his hands in front of him, his hammer and nails crossed, to block the massive sword that was about to strike him down.

The blade clattered against the hammer nail, and Lei Jingtian felt as if all the bones in his body were about to shatter. With just one sword strike, he was almost blown apart!
Suddenly, the seemingly endless pressure in front of him disappeared.

Lei Jingtian felt a moment of relief, but before he could catch his breath, the overwhelming pressure of the sword struck him again.

That hundred-foot-long silver-white sword seemed to be the ultimate truth of heaven and earth; everything in its path retreated, leaving no room for resistance.

There were no techniques involved in this sword strike; it was simply a matter of overwhelming the opponent with sheer force and momentum, forcing Lei Jingtian to confront it head-on.

If they can catch it, then there is hope of continuing the fight; if they cannot catch it, then they can only wait to die.

Lei Jingtian's face twisted in anger, and the thunder hammer in his right hand swelled to ten zhang in size. Then he swung the thunder hammer and roared as he smashed it down at the silver greatsword that was slashing down with force.

boom!
The greatsword and the thunder hammer collided, and the space at the point of impact shattered instantly with a violent roar. Lei Jingtian raised his right hand, which was wielding the hammer, high into the air, and his body was forced to retreat backward.

With each step, a bloody footprint, several meters wide and half a meter deep, was left on the broad back of the unicorn.

The one-horned thunder bull roared in agony, and lightning sprang forth from its flesh and blood.

Gao Yang unleashed a sword strike without pausing, raising his arm once more, his brilliant will flowing into it, causing the power of the strike to surge infinitely.

Upon seeing this, Lei Jingtian's eyes twitched almost imperceptibly. He had been the patriarch of the Lei Ze Witch Clan for three hundred years, yet he had never seen a human powerhouse as terrifying as Gao Yang. Even the bear demons and elephant demons of the demon race, who specialized in physical strength, or the wrathful Vajras of Buddhism, did not possess the terrifying power of the person before him.

Faced with this sword strike, he couldn't think of any way to block it.

As the greatsword fell, Lei Jingtian instinctively swung his thunder hammer forward.

He knew that this hammer blow wouldn't stop the opponent's attack, but as a shaman who fought against heaven and earth, he couldn't bear to give up the fight.

"Moo!!!"

Just then, the one-horned thunder bull beneath Lei Jingtian roared fiercely, its lowered head raised high, and its horns, wreathed in lightning, seemed to transform into a heavenly blade, crashing upwards towards Yongyao's sword.

Click!

Lightning flashed, and the head of the one-horned thunder bull drooped limply. The light in its eyes, which were surrounded by lightning, began to dim rapidly. A line of blood appeared in the center of its head, splitting its horn and the entire head in two.

Lei Niu was struck down, and Lei Jingtian let out a desperate roar. The long nail in his left hand appeared on the trajectory of the swinging thunder hammer, and the thunder hammer struck the end of the nail heavily.

"Die to me!"

With a thunderous roar, boundless lightning erupted from the end of the long nail, instantly piercing through space and striking Gao Yang's chest, who had not yet retracted his sword.

Faced with Lei Jingtian's desperate attack, Gao Yang's blazing solar battle aura suddenly dimmed.

The next instant, the long nail pierced his body, and excruciating pain shot through him.

Lei Jingtian looked down in disbelief at his chest, pierced by long nails, and then looked up at Gao Yang, who appeared on Lei Niu's back.

Gao Yang appeared in front of Lei Jingtian in a flash. Looking at Lei Jingtian, whose life force was rapidly fading, he calmly asked, "Can you tell me how you contacted the Witch Clan, and how many of your tracking Gu worms you released?"

Lei Jingtian grinned, blood staining his teeth and gushing out, as he looked at Gao Yang with mockery: "Human Sword Demon, stop dreaming."

laugh!
Yongyao pierced Lei Jingtian's chest, pinning him in mid-air.

“You can mock me, you can curse me, you can even deceive me, it doesn’t matter, because you’re going to die.”

Gao Yang looked down at Lei Jingtian and continued, "But you need to think carefully about whether your actions will implicate your people. As far as I know, the Lei Ze tribe has over a million people, right?"

"Despicable humans!"

Lei Jingtian's eyes widened in fury, and he spat out a mouthful of blood at Gao Yang, which was instantly evaporated by the Sun's Battle Qi.

Gao Yang looked at him and slowly said, "Tell me, or I will slaughter the entire Leize tribe and then go to find this predetermined answer."

Lei Jingtian glared at Gao Yang through gritted teeth and roared fearlessly, "Go ahead and kill them! The karmic consequences brought by the million witch clan members are something even a Great Luo Golden Immortal like you can't withstand. If you have the guts, then go and kill them."

"Cause and effect, karma?"

Gao Yang repeated the sentence, then turned to look in the direction of the Lei Ze tribe and casually slashed out with his sword.

The sword light pierced through the air, and in the next instant, a large patch of dark red flames suddenly appeared on Gao Yang's body.

This flame, like a maggot clinging to a bone, tried to break through the blockade of the Sun's fighting spirit and burrow into Gao Yang's body, only to burn his flesh and soul.

But no matter how hard the flame tried, it could not break through the blockade of the sun's fighting spirit.

"You mean this one?"

Gao Yang, his body wreathed in karmic flames, looked calmly at Lei Jingtian.

"brute!"

Two lines of bloody tears flowed down Lei Jingtian's face. The karmic fire burning on Gao Yang's body meant that more than 100,000 Wu Clan civilians had died under that sword earlier.

With just one sword strike, one-tenth of the population of the Thunder Witch Clan was wiped out—more than 100,000 lives!

Beneath the dark red flames, Gao Yang's calm, unwavering voice reached Lei Jingtian's ears: "You can still choose not to speak, but the Lei Ze Witch Clan will then have no reason to exist."

Lei Jingtian trembled, listening to that emotionless voice, and finally dared not gamble any longer: "I will say it, but you must spare the Lei Ze Witch Clan."

Gao Yang shook his head and looked at Lei Jingtian: "I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Lei Jingtian looked at Gao Yang as if resigned to his fate, and then a piece of white bone slowly rose from his waist.

"These are the Netherworld Bones used by various witch clans to communicate. By inputting magic power into them, one can connect with other witch clan tribes."

Gao Yang commanded, "Open it."

Lei Jingtian reached out, and a wisp of lightning magic power entered it. Immediately afterwards, the Netherworld Bone Disc emitted light, forming a semi-circular mirror.

Looking at the reflection in the mirror, Lei Jingtian immediately closed his eyes, and his aura completely dissipated.

In the mirror, a man with a dark green snake tattoo on his face asked, "Clan Chief Lei, wasn't the revenge order just issued? Why has the Netherworld Bone been activated again?"

Gao Yang stood beside the mirror and slowly said, "Lei Jingtian is dead. I killed him."

As soon as he said that, several figures appeared on the mirror.

The man who had spoken earlier looked at the mirror, but only Lei Jingtian's 'corpse' was reflected in it. So he asked, "Who are you?"

"The object of Lei Jingtian's revenge."

Gao Yang's voice fell into the mirror, immediately causing the several figures in the mirror to snort angrily.

Gao Yang continued unhurriedly:
"These threats are useless. I am in the Leize tribe. You can choose to come and avenge Lei Jingtian. If you don't come, I will use the bones and blood of the Leize tribe to engrave the names of you witches before leaving this place."

"Oh, by the way, the Flame Tiger of the Crimson Flame Witch Clan came to hunt me down, but I killed him too."

"Demon!" A furious roar echoed from within the mirror.

Gao Yang ignored him and directly shattered the mirror beside him, causing the figure and sound in the mirror to disappear along with it.

Only then did Lei Jingtian open his eyes again and look at Gao Yang.

Before he could speak, Gao Yang said, "Don't worry, my target is not those mortals who have not yet become immortals. I have already said that I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Lei Jingtian was pinned in mid-air by Yongyao, his life force almost completely drained, and his soul was almost gone under the scorching heat of the solar flames.

Seeing this, he spoke with difficulty: "I hope you really are not a bloodthirsty person."

After he finished speaking, a black Gu basin appeared.

"This is the mother worm of the tracking Gu worms that I raised. With this, you can sense the approximate location of the other offspring worms. Kill me and spare the Lei Ze tribe."

After Lei Jingtian finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

Gao Yang put away the black Gu basin and swiftly slashed it with his sword.

As the sword flashed, Lei Jingtian's life force vanished completely.

At the same time, the fortune disc hanging from Gao Yang's waist suddenly lit up with golden light.

The golden light lasted for several breaths before slowly dissipating, returning to its original white jade color.

However, within this jade-like color, there seemed to be a faint golden glow.

Without actively activating the Qi Luck Sub-Disk, Gao Yang knew that the Qi Luck level had increased by more than ten feet.

Gao Yang turned to look at the corpse of the One-Horned Thunder Bull. The One-Horned Thunder Bull's strength had not reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm; at most, it was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

This level of strength might not be enough in the realm of combat, but it's top-tier as food.
