Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 438 Zhuge Liang at Jian Ge

The forest was lush and the sun was shining brightly.

Qin Sheng and his group appeared in a small grove of trees. Jiang Zhiwei looked around warily, and only relaxed a little after finding that there was no one else besides the Reincarnators.

"It seems the first major hurdle of this reincarnation mission is whether we can safely reach Shaolin Temple," Jiang Zhiwei said.

"Let's set off as soon as possible and try to get there to meet up with Senior Brother Zhang and the others."

Qin Sheng and Qi Xia both agreed with this idea.

"I wonder where we are in this world. I hope we're not too far from Shaolin Temple." Qi Xia, quick-witted and perceptive, looked at the alluring woman and the middle-aged man and smiled.
"My name is Qi Xia. These two are Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei. May I ask how they are addressed?"

"Ke Bijun." The charming young woman gave a slight bow.

“Wang Jin.” The middle-aged man said calmly.

The former is at the initial stage of Qi accumulation, while the latter has already opened his eyes and can be considered a skilled martial artist.

"Since we are destined to carry out the same cycle mission, then we can be considered companions. Do you two have any other ideas?"

Ke Bijun adopted a humble attitude, saying, "My martial arts skills are mediocre, and I will follow your arrangements."

At the age of thirty or forty, he has only achieved a minor level of mastery in martial arts, but judging from his clothing and appearance, he must come from a wealthy family. Such a person probably practices martial arts more as a hobby.

In the face of such a major upheaval, it's already quite remarkable that one can remain rational and composed.

“Let’s go to Shaolin.” Wang Jin nodded, his expression indifferent.

"But if I encounter danger on the road, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of anything else."

Wang Jin's meaning was clear: after the ambush by Duoercha, Qin Sheng and the others should take care of themselves and not rely on him.

"Zhiwei, you've been rejected." Qin Sheng transmitted his voice to Xiao Jiang.

“That’s only human nature,” Jiang Zhiwei replied.

The age of Qin Sheng and his companions was so deceptive that Wang Jin found it hard to believe they were reliable.

Three babies who haven't even grown their hair yet, and a pampered lady with big breasts and a big butt—they all seem like a burden, utterly useless.

Wang Jin felt that this kind of team was simply a joke.

“The reincarnation mission is dangerous; it’s already difficult enough for us to take care of ourselves.” Qi Xia smiled, seemingly oblivious to Wang Jin’s implied meaning, and Jiang Zhiwei didn’t care at all.

An eagle will not bow to a sparrow, and a true dragon will not obey a wild dog.

The group of five left the grove, and at the edge of their vision, a small town came into view.

"Let's go there and ask around."

The five entered the town and easily learned the location of the Shaolin Temple in this world.

"Shaohua Mountain... is located in a different place than the Shaolin Temple in our world."

The real-world Shaolin Temple is located on Liantai Mountain.

“Before entering the reincarnation space, I specially prepared some gold and silver. Shaolin Temple is far from here, let’s buy some horses and set off,” Qi Xia said.

As the daughter of the deputy leader of the Dajiang Gang, Xiao Qi has never had any worries about money.

"Horses are regulated, so they shouldn't be so easy to buy," Ke Bijun reminded him.

"Just find a few shady characters in the martial arts world to buy them," Qi Xia said with a smile.

Everyone understood what she meant.

"Junior Uncle, can you ride a horse? If not, we can ride together." Jiang Zhiwei looked at Qin Sheng.

If Qin Sheng were about the same age as her, then given the difference between men and women, Jiang Zhiwei would definitely not have said such a thing.

But Qin Sheng was three years younger than her and was also her martial uncle, so Jiang Zhiwei couldn't worry about anything else in order to protect his safety.

To avoid being branded as the murderer of his uncle, Xiao Jiang wanted nothing more than to cling to Qin Sheng and protect him every step of the way.

Qin Sheng: "..."

I am your senior martial uncle, not your son!
Junior brother Jiang, I appreciate your filial piety, but you look down on your uncle, and your uncle is very unhappy.

Half an hour later, four fine horses galloped out of the town and headed straight for Shaolin Temple. On the way, Jiang Zhiwei analyzed the situation of this mission.

"Although we don't know what the second main quest is yet, it should be closely related to Dorcha."

Jiang Zhiwei: "As the Great General of the Northern Barbarians, Duoercha's strength is definitely not weak. To deal with him, we will probably need to borrow the power of the martial arts world."

“Zhiwei is right,” Qin Sheng, who was sitting in the front, echoed.

My junior apprentice is so capable, whatever he says is right.

“Since Shaolin Temple can lead the righteous army to resist, it must be full of strong people. We can join forces with Shaolin masters,” Qi Xia proposed.

“Miss Qi is right,” Qin Sheng echoed again.

Seeing this, Ke Bijun breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I'm not the only burden in the team. This kid isn't very capable either, and he has no opinions of his own.

However, this child has a good relationship with these two girls, so he will definitely receive priority protection. If I take good care of him, I should be able to gain their favor and be safer.

Wang Jin observed secretly, growing increasingly disappointed. Sure enough, they were just a bunch of greenhorns with no experience in the ways of the world, only good at theoretical discussions.

Dorcha has a large army; dealing with him will not be an easy task.

Moreover, we are complete strangers to the Shaolin Temple. How could they possibly join forces with us so easily?

It's already good enough that they don't suspect us of having ulterior motives!

Two days later, Qin Sheng and his group sped along and were already close to Shaohua Mountain.

Night had fallen, and the five men dismounted to rest briefly, then gathered around the campfire to eat their hunted game.

"Do you think there's a special relationship between the world of reincarnation and our world?" Qi Xia stared blankly at the burning flames.

"Otherwise, why would Shaolin Temple exist in both worlds? Will we encounter a second Washing Sword Pavilion or the Great River Gang in the future?"

"The second Sword Washing Pavilion... In other worlds, will there be another me?" Jiang Zhiwei's eyes also glazed over as she pondered these questions.

Qin Sheng ate his meal in silence, ignoring the two sentimental girls.

What they were thinking about were the real issues that needed to be faced when the Dharmakaya was being proven.

In the myriad worlds under the One Worldview, apart from special worlds such as the Immortal Realm, the Nine Netherworlds, the Investiture of the Gods world, the Journey to the West world, and the Twenty-Four Heavens, all other worlds and the origins of the universe are the Real World.

Some of them sensed the different atmospheres of the real world, which gave rise to different laws and principles, combining earth, fire, wind, water, yin and yang, and the five elements to finally create heaven and earth.

Some are various events that occur in the real world. Due to the intervention of higher-level forces or other reasons, they have branched out into different tributaries in the river of time, evolving into fragments of cosmic light of varying sizes, which can also be called parallel universes.

Therefore, the Sword Washing Pavilion and the Great River Gang must exist in other worlds, and there must also be Jiang Zhiwei and Qi Xia from other worlds, who are me.

"I wonder if I exist in all the worlds and realms of this world?" Qin Sheng paused, pondering this question.

Unlike Meng Qi, who traveled from Earth to the Real World, he truly came from outside the myriad worlds of the Real World and possessed the special item of the Infinite Land.

Whether Qin Sheng's other self was born in the myriad realms of the universe is truly questionable.

I can still prove the legend without him, but it would be much more troublesome.

call out!
A sudden change occurred.

A piercing shriek tore through the night sky, and streaks of cold light, hidden beneath the dim darkness, hurtled toward the campfire—they were arrows!

"Enemy attack!"

Jiang Zhiwei shouted and rushed to Qin Sheng's side. She wielded the White Rainbow Piercing the Sun Sword in its sheath, creating an impenetrable barrier that blocked the arrows one by one.

With the cultivation of the four orifices, one is capable of doing such a thing.

Ke Bijun turned pale with fright, but fortunately she was resting under a tree, which provided her with some cover.

As for Qi Xia and Wang Jin, both are quite strong and suffered no injuries.

Footsteps echoed as men in black, wielding knives and swords, charged from afar, their killing intent astonishing and their glints of light chilling.

"They must be Dorcha's men." Qin Sheng understood the situation.

As Qin Sheng spoke, one after another, the men in black had already rushed up to him. Without uttering a single word, they raised their weapons and began to slash.

"Junior Uncle, stay close to me!" Jiang Zhiwei grabbed Qin Sheng with one hand and brandished her sword with the other.

Qin Sheng said helplessly, "Zhiwei, these people are at most at the Great Completion of Qi, and there are only one or two of them. There's no need to be so nervous."

My junior apprentice is overly cautious.

Qin Sheng thrust out his sword with lightning speed, leaving no trace and spraying blood everywhere, killing even faster than Jiang Zhiwei.

Jiang smiled sheepishly, his concern clouding his judgment, forgetting that even a mere beginner could rival his junior uncle's swordsmanship.

Then, having already seen bloodshed, the Chicken-Slaying Sword God charged directly into the group of men in black, his every move fierce and ruthless.

"What a young swordsman! To have already reached the Innate Realm at such a young age is truly astonishing. You must not be allowed to live!" A sinister voice suddenly rang out, and a flash of light appeared as a blade shot straight at Jiang Zhiwei.

A highly skilled cultivator, hidden among the crowd, saw that Jiang Zhiwei's old power had dissipated and her new power had not yet been generated. He felt he had seized the best opportunity and made a sudden move, intending to eliminate the most powerful cultivator among the group.

Qi Xia noticed this scene and became very anxious. She flicked her left hand, and a whooshing sound rang out.

It's a hidden weapon!
Even faster than the hidden weapon was the Evening Star Sword, which emitted starlight and burst forth with sword energy.

How dare you ambush my junior apprentice right in front of me? Do you even know that I'm under Xiao Jiang's protection?!

The black-clad expert's expression changed drastically. He immediately changed his move, hastily defending against the sword energy, but he was powerless to deal with Qi Xia's hidden weapon. Jiang Zhiwei also thrust out a sword.

Chi!
"But..." The black-clad expert uttered a single word before Jiang Zhiwei chopped off his head the next second.

Sword energy and hidden weapons entered his body early on, taking away his life force.

"Side Quest 1: Kill 'Zhen Heluo', one of the four innate masters of the opposing faction. Qin Sheng will be rewarded with 40 merit points, Jiang Zhiwei with 30 merit points, and Qi Xia with 20 merit points."

"Side Quest 2: Kill Dorcha. The reward ranges from fifty to two hundred merit points, depending on the participant's contribution."

The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's prompt was timely; Qin Sheng and his companions killed a large fish.

But looking at the second side quest, Qin Sheng wanted to complain: how can killing a boss be a side quest? Shouldn't it be part of the main quest?
"Chief Guan is dead!" someone shouted from the remaining men in black. Their morale collapsed instantly, and they lost all will to fight, fleeing in panic.

The difference in strength between the two sides was already enormous, and now it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Before long, the last man in black was chased down and killed.

"Zhen Heluo, what a prestigious name this person is." Qi Xia looked at the headless corpse, feeling delighted at having gained an extra merit.

"This person is only at the Enlightenment stage, the Innate Realm. It seems that this world has a different name for the Enlightenment stage." Jiang Zhiwei's face turned a little pale.

It wasn't that I was scared, but rather that I had used up too much of my inner energy.

As a normal martial artist, swinging a sword and making a move naturally consumes true energy; she doesn't have unlimited mana either.

"Having accumulated Qi to its full potential, one exhales a breath of turbid air, returning to the state of an infant. To call it innate is somewhat reasonable." Qi Xia nodded.

"Let's put this man who controls the Luo River on Mount Shaohua," Qin Sheng said.
"In this way, we can also gain the trust of Shaolin Temple."

We killed one of the four top experts under Dorcha, which shows that we are wholeheartedly devoted to the Central Plains.

No further problems arose on the way, and Qin Sheng and his group arrived at Shaohua Mountain without incident.

The path leading up Shaohua Mountain is guarded by a group of yellow-robed martial monks, who prohibit unauthorized personnel from going up the mountain; the defenses are very tight.

“This place looks so much like Lotus Terrace Mountain in our world.” Jiang Zhiwei was somewhat surprised. She had just left Shaolin Temple about a month ago and still vividly remembered the scenery there.

"Both the terrain and the architectural layout are very similar; it's a completely different Shaolin Temple on Lotus Terrace Mountain."

Qin Sheng looked up at the heights of Shaohua Mountain, where the abbot of the real Shaolin Temple, the true Arhat who subdued the dragon, was trapped by Han Guang.

Qi Xia, carrying the head of "Zhenheluo," went to negotiate with the monks of Shaolin Temple. She was eloquent, quick-witted, and very good at doing such things.

As for Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei, they are aloof swordsmen.

"Is it 'Zhenheluo' Guan Haoran? He has been in the Innate Realm for twenty years, and he actually died at your hands?" The Shaolin monks were shocked.

"Dorcha intends to lead a large army to flatten Shaohua Mountain. We learned of this with the help of righteous men and obtained a list of traitors within your faction, so we came to your aid," Qi Xia explained.

"On the way, we were ambushed by Guan Haoran. After a bloody battle, we finally killed him."

In fact, news of the impending attack by Dorcha had already spread, and many chivalrous people had gathered at Shaolin Temple, willing to contribute their efforts to resist the Northern Barbarian masters.

Fearing that there might be spies among these people, Shaolin Temple did not dare to let them go up the mountain, but instead arranged for them to stay at an inn next to Shaohua Mountain. Qin Sheng and his group received the same treatment.

However, the head of "Zhenheluo" was obviously very convincing. An hour later, a high monk from Shaolin Temple hurriedly came to the inn and invited Qin Sheng and the others up the mountain.

Mahavira Hall.

All the masters from Shaolin Temple gathered here, scrutinizing Qin Sheng and his group of five with critical eyes.

Young, too young, that was the first impression the high monks had.

At such a young age, he's already venturing out into the world and dares to go against Duoercha?
Okay, the intention is good.

“Esteemed benefactors, I wish to examine Guan Haoran’s head,” said a monk draped in a kasaya.

Qi Xia tossed Guan Haoran's head to him. The monk examined it briefly, nodded, and said:

"The head is fine."

Abbot Xinji of Shaolin Temple looked very old. He put his hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and said:

“You benefactors have come from afar, your kindness and righteousness are unparalleled, and this old monk is deeply grateful.”

"Under the iron hooves of the northern barbarians, the people of the Central Plains wept bitterly. The country was on the verge of collapse and their homes were destroyed. It is the responsibility of every generation to resist the barbarians."

Qin Sheng, with an air of righteous indignation, handed over the list of traitors issued by the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to Master Xinji.

"Send the list of traitors to Shaolin Temple. Once the main quest is completed, each person who enters the temple will be rewarded with fifty merit points."

"Main Quest Two is now open: Hold Shaolin Temple to the very end. You must not flee before the deadline. Success will reward you with 100 merit points, while failure will deduct 100 merit points." The information about the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared before Qin Sheng and the others. Jiang Zhiwei, being quick-witted, immediately realized what was going on.

"Master Xinji, may I ask what level of cultivation Duoercha possesses?" she asked.

"He is the number one expert in the Northern Barbarians, possessing the peak of the Innate Realm, and perhaps even having taken a half-step beyond that," Master Xinji replied.
"Dorcha is probably only half a step away from the Zen realm where inner and outer worlds converge."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiwei understood the level of Duoercha's understanding.

Half-step exterior shot!

This put a lot of pressure on her. No wonder the second main quest of the Six Paths was not to kill Dorcha, but to make this a side quest. Because even if they attacked together, they would not be a match for this Northern Barbarian General.

At the half-step outer realm, the inner and outer worlds have begun to merge, and every move can already trigger celestial phenomena at a superficial level, demonstrating terrifying strength.

Master Xinji and the other Shaolin monks clearly had something to discuss. After exchanging a few words with Qin Sheng and his group, they saw the five of them off from Shaohua Mountain.

Back at the inn, Jiang Zhiwei said, "Dorcha is too powerful to be defeated by force. I think we should focus on defending Shaolin Temple and completing the main quest first."

"I'll listen to Zhiwei," Qin Sheng replied.

Afterwards, Wang Jin, the seasoned veteran, chose to act alone to investigate the situation in this world, while Qi Xia took Ke Bijun to gather intelligence.

Qin Sheng and Xiao Jiang rested at the inn.

One of them was responsible for physical strength, and the other for seniority. Qi Xia took the initiative to handle some of the trivial matters.

Not long after, Qi Xia brought back some news.

“Master Xinji also has the cultivation of the peak of the innate realm, which should be the level of having all nine orifices open.”

“In that case, we might have a chance.” Jiang Zhiwei’s expression shifted.

"If I were to launch a sneak attack from the shadows with 'Sword Without Self' while Master Xinji and Dorcha are fighting, it would be a calculated move against an unsuspecting opponent. With Master Xinji's cooperation, it might have a surprising effect."

The thought of having the chance to participate in the battle of the Half-Step Exterior made Jiang Zhiwei's heart beat even faster.

It would be worth dying for!

"After my last mission, I exchanged for the crafting and usage instructions for the hidden weapon Tang Hua. Although this hidden weapon is extremely dangerous and difficult to make, I have also made some progress in the past month," Qi Xia said.

In the world of martial arts, hidden weapons have always been one of the best ways to use underhanded tactics to ambush and defeat the strong with the weak.

Jiang Zhiwei pondered for a moment, then nodded, "The premise is that Master Xinji is willing to believe us."

"In addition, I have also obtained information about the four innate masters under Dorcha's command," Qi Xia continued.

Apart from Zhen Heluo, who had already been killed by Qin Sheng and his group, the other three innate masters were "The Ever-Changing Scholar" Kuang Chengwang, "The White-Browed Wolf" Borhan, and "The Palm of the Universe" Tang Shun.

Upon hearing the name "The Hundred-Faced Scholar," Qin Sheng recalled something.

He remembered that Meng Qi's team had been attacked by the Hundred-Faced Scholar, who then secretly killed the burly man, disguised himself as him, and mingled with Meng Qi and his group.

In the afternoon, Meng Qi and his group arrived at Shaohua Mountain, all intact and seemingly without any casualties.

The group reunited at the inn. Zhang Yuanshan was in a good mood and smiled:

"So far, everyone has been safe and sound during this mission, which is a good sign. Hopefully, this will continue."

"We were ambushed by Guan Haoran, the 'Suppressor of Luohe.' Senior Brother Zhang, how are you?" Jiang Zhiwei asked.

"Perhaps Dorcha doesn't have many capable people under his command; we haven't encountered any opponents at the Enlightenment stage," Zhang Yuanshan shook his head.

Qin Sheng's gaze swept over the burly man, and he knew in his heart that the other party had indeed been replaced.

"Big Brother!" At this moment, Qin Sheng walked up to the burly man and greeted him with great concern.

"Are you alright? You scared me to death. If we had known it would be so dangerous, my brother and I would never have left our hometown in Heluo."

The burly man paused for a moment, then sighed, "Brother, let's not talk about this anymore. Didn't we leave our hometown to fight against the Northern Barbarians? Even if we die, we will die on the battlefield!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiwei's eyes lit up slightly, while Zhang Yuanshan frowned.

"Big brother is right, you..."

Qin Sheng reached out, seemingly preparing to help the burly man.

"Just go die."

Qin Sheng suddenly changed his palm, unleashing a burst of intense solar energy that struck the burly man, sending him flying.

Chi!
Jiang Zhiwei immediately drew her sword and pierced the big man's chest.

"Why..." The burly man's eyes bulged out, and he died before he could finish speaking.

"Holy crap!" Meng Qi was startled. Were the people from the Sword Washing Pavilion really that brutal? They actually killed their own teammates?

This will result in a deduction from my pay!
But the next second, the bloodstains on the burly man's body suddenly twisted and formed lines of writing.

"Side Quest 1: Kill the 'Hundred-Faced Scholar', one of the four innate masters of the opposing faction. Qin Sheng will be rewarded with 80 merit points, and Jiang Zhiwei will be rewarded with 30 merit points."

Upon seeing the prompt from the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Meng Qi and Ke Bijun were dumbfounded.

"How could he be a scholar who can change his appearance so many times?"

"Hmph, I could tell at a glance that he wasn't a reincarnator." Qin Sheng waved his hand.

"As expected." Zhang Yuanshan murmured, then looked at Qin Sheng with a look of amazement.

"Junior Brother Qin, how did you know he had a problem?"

"This is deduction," Qin Sheng said with a smile, explaining his reasoning.

"Since the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation has instructed us to split into two groups and also requires us to break through the interception of Dorcha's lackeys, there is no reason why only we will encounter innate masters, while the enemies you encounter are particularly weak. This is obviously unfair, and the difficulty is completely unequal."

"The fact that the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation arranged for you, Senior Brother Zhang, who is at the Enlightenment stage, to be there already explains the problem. It means that your opponents must also be able to pose a threat to you, but you haven't encountered them yet. That's the suspicious point."

"So I guess you must have also encountered a natural attack, but you didn't notice it. It just so happens that one of Dorcha's four henchmen is a man of many disguises, a person who is obviously good at disguise and transformation."

"Since Xiantian came but did not show himself, it cannot be that he was enlightened by the little monk's Buddhist teachings and chose to lay down his butcher's knife and let you go. Therefore, there is only one truth to the matter."

"The ever-changing scholar is among you!"

Upon hearing Qin Sheng's analysis, everyone was surprised; it was logical, well-founded, and convincing.

"Brother Qin, Senior Brother Zhang's praise of your wisdom as vast as the sea is indeed true." Meng Qi clapped his hands.

"How come I didn't think of this obvious illogical point!"

Yes, the "Main God Space" is a cruel place, but it also contains implicit rules of fairness. Everyone gets the same reward for the first main quest. There's no reason why we would be so easily satisfied.

Meng Qi was somewhat annoyed, despite having considered himself a seasoned player.

"Junior Uncle, how can you be sure that this person is the problem?" Jiang Zhiwei asked curiously.

"It's very simple," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

“Senior Brother Zhang is the strongest. Even in a one-on-one fight, the Hundred Transformations Scholar could not be his match, let alone replace him.”

"But it would be very troublesome for the young monk and the girl to impersonate them because of their characteristics and gender."

Meng Qi subconsciously touched his bald head.

"Only Senior Brother Qi and that big man are left. In comparison, the latter is undoubtedly easier to deal with."

"So I tested him a little, and sure enough, he gave himself away."

Qin Sheng and the burly man hadn't exchanged a single word before. If he were truly a reincarnator, he wouldn't have reacted this way upon hearing terms like "Big Brother" and "Hometown of Heluo."

"Impressive." Qi Zhengyan uttered the two words stiffly. He was naturally expressionless and taciturn, so for him to say something like that was already a rare performance.

"He's almost supernaturally intelligent," Zhang Yuanshan exclaimed.

He was a steady and honest person, not particularly intelligent, and at this moment I really admired Qin Sheng.

Jiang Zhiwei's eyes sparkled. "Junior Uncle is amazing!"
"Brother Qin, how did you develop such a brilliant mind?" Meng Qi asked enviously.

If I can't become a wise monk in white robes, then being a virtuous monk is fine too.

"Read more books."

Meng Qi pondered for a moment, then nodded in deep agreement, "You're trying to tell me the truth that there are riches and beautiful women in books, right?"

"...That's right."

Next, Zhang Yuanshan searched the body of the Hundred-Faced Scholar but found nothing. Suddenly, his expression changed.

"Junior Brother Qin, your palm strike shattered his internal organs."

"I'm naturally strong."

Zhang Yuanshan gave Qin Sheng a deep look. If he was strong, he should have punched the person through, not just shattered their internal organs. This was clearly the result of using a lot of force.

Afterwards, Qin Sheng and his group accompanied Meng Qi's team to Shaolin Temple to help them complete the first main quest.

On the way up the mountain, Meng Qi looked left and right, filled with surprise and doubt.

“The layout here is exactly the same as the Shaolin Temple in our world, even the path I used to take to fetch water is the same,” he whispered to Qin Sheng, the wise man.

"The world is full of wonders, so there's no need to overthink it, because it's pointless," Qin Sheng said calmly.

With the head of the Hundred-Faced Scholar now in hand, Master Xinji and the others finally believed in Qin Sheng and his group.

Dorcha only has four Xiantian under his command, so it's impossible for him to use half of them for a self-inflicted injury scheme.

This is too much suffering.

In the original timeline, the versatile scholar was not detected beforehand and managed to sneak up the mountain to ambush Master Xinji.

As a result, our strongest combat force was already down to half health before the battle even began.

This time it's different.

Half an hour later, a sudden storm broke out outside Shaohua Mountain, with thunder and lightning and the sound of iron hooves. It was Dorcha arriving with his Iron Wolf Soldiers.

Master Xinji stepped forward without hesitation, stopping Duoercha, a half-step outsider, to buy time for the others to escape.

The Iron Wolf Soldiers stormed Shaohua Mountain, instantly turning the Buddhist sanctuary into a bloodbath and a hellish landscape.

The battle between Master Xinji and Duoercha was incredibly fierce, with the wind and clouds shifting and thunderous sounds resounding with each move.

Looking at the battlefield, Jiang Zhiwei's longsword rang out, and she had made her decision.

"You must be careful when dealing with the Iron Wolf Soldiers, and prioritize your own safety. I will assist Master Xinji in killing Dorcha, and then the Northern Barbarian invasion will be defeated without a fight."

"Junior Uncle, you..."

"Don't worry, with my cultivation and swordsmanship, even so-called innate masters can't do anything to me," Qin Sheng nodded.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Zhiwei disappeared into the battlefield.

The main thing is that Xiao Jiang isn't stupid; she's clearly noticed something's off about her junior uncle's strength these past few days.

Although they are not as good as me, they are still among the top three, so there is no need to worry too much about their safety.

Xinji and Duoercha fought fiercely, but the former was ultimately at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation and only managed to stop the latter by fighting to the death.

At one moment, the Buddhist beads in Master Xinji's hand exploded, and Buddhist light filled the sky, repelling Dorcha for the first time.

Jiang Zhiwei seized the opportunity. Her sword flashed, as if it came from the heavens, without a trace, impossible to follow.

A sword technique at the Dharma Body level, where the sword strikes without self!

This is a move that contains the laws of heaven and earth, and ordinary footwork and footwork cannot dodge it, because it also cuts the rules of heaven and earth!

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sword strike, but at that moment, a pebble suddenly flew out from Shaohua Mountain.

It is also beautiful, containing the same principles as Jiang Zhiwei's sword strike, triggering changes in the cosmic mechanism.

The flying sword and the flying stone struck Dorcha together, one after the other.

"what!"

The Northern Barbarian General screamed in agony as a flying sword pierced one of his eyes and a flying stone pierced his back.

Upon seeing this, Xin Ji's decades of martial arts experience made him react instinctively. The high monk's face turned red, and then his aura surged. He used a self-harming move, like an eagle, slapping Dorcha's heart.

"Slaying General Dorcha completes side quest two. Qin Sheng and Jiang Zhiwei are rewarded with 200 merit points."

"Dorcha has died. Main quest two is complete. Each of you will be rewarded with 100 merit points."

"You have performed exceptionally well in this mission, and are hereby granted one hour for exploration. You may return at that time."

Upon seeing this series of prompts, Meng Qi and the others all looked at Qin Sheng. It was obvious that he was the one who threw the pebble earlier.

"Junior Brother Qin, what was that move you used?" Zhang Yuanshan asked in disbelief.

"It is one of the nine killing moves of the Supreme Sword Scripture, the Sword Strike Without Self. I have only recently learned it and only know a little bit about it." Qin Sheng nodded.

"Brother Qin, you used a pebble to unleash the Sword of No Self and even killed the Northern Barbarian General?" Meng Qi swallowed hard.

I knew Brother Qin was a master swordsman and that his actual strength was greater than mine, but I didn't expect him to be this strong!

"I'm just a support player, not a main player."

Qin Sheng smiled calmly, "Is the way of the sword such an inconvenient thing? I started practicing swordsmanship at the age of three, and now, grass, trees, bamboo and stones can all be swords."

I get by because I have the ability to get by.

You're just coasting because you lack ability; that's all you can do.

Little monk, you still need to practice!
Meng Qi and the others were speechless for a moment.

Brother Qin, you people from the Sword Washing Pavilion really know how to show off.

In my next life, I also want to be a Jiange person!
