Half an hour later.

After Zhang Zhiwei snapped the neck of the last Japanese soldier, none of the sixty-odd Japanese soldiers who went up the mountain survived.

As for Sato Ichiro, he showed us with his life what happens when you truly anger "One Person" in Under One Person—he was struck by lightning and turned into charcoal, looking like he would turn to ashes with a gust of wind.

"Is everyone alright?"

After casually tossing the corpse in his hand to the ground, Zhang Zhiwei glanced around at his fellow disciples.

"Don't worry, Zhiwei, with Benefactor Zhao's Golden Escape Flowing Light support, everyone will be fine," Li Fu replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Jingqing specifically requested that he lead the team down the mountain this time. If his momentary negligence ultimately led to the deaths of his fellow disciples, Zhang Zhiwei would probably never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"It's okay."

Zhang Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the ground panting.

"It doesn't matter to you, right?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my true qi was used up a bit too much. Let me rest for a while."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and sat down on the ground to begin circulating his internal energy and regulating his breathing.

After all, there were quite a few Japanese soldiers chasing him this time. Even if all the people on the mountain and the disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion were called down, the number would only be enough.

Keeping an eye on so many people at the same time would be incredibly mentally taxing, even for someone with Zhao Zhen's current cultivation level.

As for the Golden Light Talisman, three of them were used up in one battle!

Even this was only the result of Zhao Zhen using the short-range Golden Escape Stream.

Using "flash" to block hidden weapons, using "flash" to carry the wounded away from the battlefield, using "flash" to kill first...

Zhao Zhen's figure was left on almost every part of the battlefield. After a battle, Zhao Zhen felt that he was even more tired than Zhang Zhiwei, the "main force".

Meanwhile, the little fox Hutu was enjoying the "breath of fresh air" that formed on the corpses of these Japanese devils.

Although she couldn't absorb too much of this "gentle breeze" during her daily cultivation, otherwise it would arouse her "beastly nature" as an animal.

However, with the presence of Zhao Zhendan's aura, a delicate balance can be formed between the two.

This is why Hu Tu was so determined to follow Zhao Zhen.
"Thank you so much for earlier."

"no need thank me?"

Zhao Zhen slowly opened her eyes and gave Zhang Zhiwei a half-smile.

"Of course, I want to thank you for saving my two fellow disciples. That guy's move was very dangerous. My Golden Light Spell should be able to barely block it, but theirs might not be so."

"No need. If anyone should thank you, it should be me thanking you. After all, these little devils came for me."

"Laojun carried his sword to save the common people. This land is not just Zhao Zhen's home."

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head and gently patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder.

"It seems your cultivation has improved a lot in the past few years, and your true qi has changed considerably in both quantity and quality."

"What? You, Zhang Zhiwei, are allowed to rise in status like a rocket, but I, Zhao Zhen, am not allowed to climb up slowly?"

Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhang Zhiwei.

"Your rate of improvement is anything but a slow climb."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the little fox beside him, whose belly was round and full from eating. "Is she really okay like this? I've heard that if immortals eat 'Qingfeng' too often, they won't be able to control their ferocity."

"It doesn't matter. They're just a bunch of beasts. They've eaten them, so be it. Don't worry, she knows what she's doing."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, but didn't say anything more.

"Alright, now that we've wiped out all those Japanese devils who sneaked up the mountain, we should go back and report to our master."

"Okay, let's go, I'll go with you."

……

A moment later, on the main hall square of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Zhang Jingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that all of her apprentices had returned without missing a single one.

"Master, we're back," Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile and a fist salute.

"Well, just come back."

Zhang Jingqing nodded, then continued, "Everyone has worked hard. Go back and recover from your injuries."

"Yes, master."

"Zhiwei, Huaiyi, Li Fu... the five of you stay."

After all the disciples had gone back to recuperate, Zhang Jingqing calmly swept her gaze over the six people below the steps.

"Zhiwei, the five of you take a look at this letter first."

While Zhang Zhiwei and his fellow disciples were reading the letters, Zhang Jingqing smiled and looked at Zhao Zhen beside her.

"Good lad, if that old man Duan Chuan knew in the afterlife, seeing his Golden Escape Stream of Light shine so brightly in the hands of his disciple, he would surely be able to smile in his grave, wouldn't he?"

"You flatter me, Celestial Master."

"I don't have the habit of flattering others. You worked hard in the battle in the valley just now."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Zhen's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Indeed, right at his own doorstep, how could Zhang Jingqing, as a Taoist master, so easily let his precious disciples go and fight the Japanese devils to the death?
Although he didn't say it, he was definitely protecting his disciples from the shadows.

If that's the case, then wouldn't all my "busy running around" seem a bit superfluous?
Of course, what surprised Zhao Zhen the most was that Zhang Jingqing had been in the valley all along, but neither he nor the little fox had noticed him at all!

Just how terrifying is this level of cultivation?

Never mind, whether it's superfluous or not, at least the Celestial Master saw my attitude.

"Of course, this matter was originally caused by me. Since we need to borrow the power of the Celestial Master's Mansion, I should naturally do my best to protect the safety of all the Taoist masters."

"What a formidable Golden Thunder Lord..."

Zhang Jingqing narrowed her eyes, her gaze towards Zhao Zhen filled with admiration.

With such good manners, knowing when to advance and retreat, and understanding the bigger picture, it's no wonder he was able to plunge into the three northeastern provinces and fight against the Japanese for several years.

"Golden Thunder Lord..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen immediately twitched the corner of his mouth.

He had no idea which brilliant person had given him that nickname, "Thunder King"...

Before this legitimate Celestial Master who has mastered the complete Five Thunder Orthodox Method, which fool would dare to call himself the Thunder Lord?
Are you okay?
