Marvel Superheroes in China

Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "Miss Chi is indeed exceptionally intelligent. In that case, I need not waste any more words. This humble Taoist shall depart!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Ziya stomped his foot, and dust billowed up inside the room. He then vanished using earth magic...

Chi Yaotai looked at the ground with envy: "This ancient immortal technique is truly extraordinary!"

Yuzhu Cave, Zhongnan Mountain

"The cycle of Heaven has come full circle, and the calamity of thirteen thousand five hundred years has finally arrived."

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and there is always a glimmer of hope. It seems that this glimmer of hope lies in this extraordinary person!"

Yun Zhongzi 2.2 sat on the futon and muttered to himself, leaving the servants below completely bewildered. It was common for their master to remain silent for three or five months at a time, so what was wrong with him today? He had started talking to himself.

"Child!" Yun Zhongzi said with his eyes closed, and the boy quickly responded:

"The disciple is here!"

"Summon your senior brother Lei Zhenzi here!"

Chapter 526 Another Opportunity? (5)

"I will obey my master's orders!"

After saying that, the boy ran downstairs in a flash. A short while later, another child with fair skin and delicate features entered from outside. He looked to be only seven or eight years old, but the others around him called him "senior brother".

The little boy stood before Yun Zhongzi and bowed deeply: "Lei Zhenzi greets Master!"

Yun Zhongzi raised his palms and an invisible stream of true energy helped Lei Zhenzi to his feet: "There's no need for such formalities between us, master and disciple."

Lei Zhenzi stood up and asked in confusion, "I wonder what brings Master here to summon me, disciple number 22?"

Yun Zhongzi: "Disciple, how long have you been on the mountain?"

Lei Zhenzi thought about it carefully: "I'm afraid it will take at least seven or eight years?"

Yun Zhongzi nodded: "That's right. You've been on the mountain for seven or eight years now. The reason I called you here today is to ask you to come down the mountain and give someone a chance!"

"What opportunity?" Lei Zhenzi asked quickly.

Yun Zhongzi: "You'll find out when the time comes!"

Lei Zhenzi scratched the back of his head, wondering what his master was up to this time. He had heard from his fellow disciples that his master had been frowning for years ever since the last time he failed to exorcise the demon in Chaoge City.

It's like she's a completely different person today; it's really hard to figure her out.

"Alright!" Yun Zhongzi immediately understood what Lei Zhenzi was thinking when he saw Lei Zhenzi's eyes darting around.

"There are two fruits in the woods behind the mountain. Go and pick them."

Lei Zhenzi immediately asked excitedly, "Is it for me to eat?"

Yun Zhongzi shook his head, thinking to himself that these two fruits were indeed prepared for you, but now he couldn't give them to you.

Upon hearing that it wasn't for him, Lei Zhenzi's spirits immediately plummeted. Yun Zhongzi, with a wry smile, continued:

“Your martial uncle Jiang Ziya is on his way to Kunlun Mountain. Stop him halfway there, give him these two fruits, and he'll know what to do!”

"Disciple obeys!" After saying this, Lei Zhenzi leaped and flew towards the back mountain. Watching Lei Zhenzi's figure disappear, Yun Zhongzi murmured softly:

"Whether you want power or to escape this calamity and become an immortal depends on whether you listen to your master and don't be greedy."

"Whether it's right or wrong depends on your own choice!"

姜家

Chi Yaotai silently piled the beast's carcass in front of her onto the last open space in the courtyard. This was the umpteenth time she had done this in the last two hours.

Even Ma Shi had become numb to the fact that it was called the Jade Terrace.

They've even started thinking about what to do with the corpses in the yard. Some have relatively intact fur and can be skinned and sold for 680 yuan, while others taste delicious, enough to make a nice lunch for their good-for-nothing old man...

Ma was overjoyed, but Chi Yaotai felt a little uncomfortable because there were just too many of these ignorant demons.

Qin Wu initiated the enlightenment process, drawing spiritual energy into his body. The scattered spiritual energy emitted an extremely alluring aroma, attracting demons from all directions to gather here.

It's not that these things are particularly powerful or difficult to deal with; it's just that there are simply too many of them!

In fact, the truly capable demon race leaders, like Chi Yaotai, have all awakened their intelligence. After weighing the pros and cons, they will not be swayed at all.

Chapter 527 A Fruit (6)

Only those little demons who haven't even refined their crossbones and can't speak, whose minds are still undeveloped, would risk their lives and rush towards this spiritual energy like madmen the moment they smell it.

Killing one or two doesn't take much effort, but if it goes on for too long, even a great immortal would eventually run out of energy!

Chi Yaotai was now completely helpless, crying out to heaven and earth in despair. He cursed inwardly, "Old Jiang, you really have caused a lot of harm!"

Jiang Ziya was flying in the sky, and he had already traveled halfway through the journey to Kunlun Mountain.

But as Jiang Ziya flew, he suddenly sneezed: "Achoo! What's going on? Is someone talking about me?"

Just as I was about to ride the clouds and continue on my way, a voice suddenly came from not far ahead:

"Is the visitor Jiang Ziya, a disciple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable of the Jade Void Palace on Mount Kunlun?"

Jiang Ziya immediately became alert, his hands forming a gesture of holding something, then he pulled it outwards, and the God-Slaying Whip appeared in his hands: "This humble Taoist is Jiang Shang, who are you...?"

"Oh dear, Uncle-Master, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ziya saw a small figure emerge from the parting clouds ahead. The figure was fair and delicate, and even though he was only seven or eight years old, his brows revealed an imposing and heroic aura. He was clearly a great general!

Jiang Ziya was sizing up the child when, unexpectedly, the child spoke first:

"Lei Zhenzi, disciple of Yun Zhongzi, the hermit immortal of Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain, pays respects to Martial Uncle Jiang!"

Jiang Ziya suddenly realized: "So you are the disciple of Fellow Daoist Yun Zhongzi!"

Lei Zhenzi quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Uncle-Master!"

"I was in a hurry just now, and my master didn't give me much time, so I had to call him by his name to confirm his identity. I apologize to him!"

Jiang Ziya waved his hand: "You have your reasons, and your senior uncle will naturally not blame you."

That's what he said, but Jiang Ziya was still a little awkward. Besides, I know that Yun Zhongzi is a hermit immortal. When did he take on a disciple?

Jiang Ziya: "Your master sent you to stop me here, there must be something important to tell you. What brings you here?"

Lei Zhenzi calmly replied, "My master summoned me here to deliver something to Uncle-Master Jiang!"

Jiang Ziya raised an eyebrow: "What is that?"

Lei Zhenzi opened his left hand, and a golden fruit, radiating spiritual energy, lay quietly in his palm: "This is the Valley of Things!"

"A fruit?" Jiang Ziya took the wild fruit from Lei Zhenzi's hand with a wry smile, thinking to himself that his senior brother was really something else, sending him a wild fruit from so far away!

But as soon as Jiang Ziya received the fruit, his expression immediately changed.

This wasn't just a fruit (of the King Coin), it was practically a tangible mass of spiritual energy! Suddenly, he remembered that there was an apricot tree on the mountain behind Yun Zhongzi. This apricot tree blossomed once every three thousand years and bore fruit once every five thousand years. The fruit always came in pairs, and these fruits were not only rich in spiritual energy but also cured all diseases.

Those who are destined to eat it will have their foundation strengthened and will gain two supernatural powers!

They are all proficient in various martial arts, and with a swing of their arms, they possess immense strength! However, there is one difference: their appearance will become extremely ugly.

Chapter 528 Wind and Thunder Wings (7)

The second thing is that after eating another fruit, two wings of wind and thunder will grow from under the ribs, allowing one to travel a thousand miles a day without consuming a single bit of true energy!

One of its wings is the wind wing, which can create a raging wind when flapped; the other is the thunder wing, which can command lightning as an attack when flapped.

When both wings flap together, it creates a powerful combination of wind and thunder.

Jiang Ziya used his divine sense to examine the fruit in his hand and confirmed it was indeed a Thunder Fruit. He then looked at Lei Zhenzi with a playful smile and asked, "Are you sure your master only instructed you to give me one fruit?"

Jiang Ziya's lewd gaze made Lei Zhenzi feel uneasy, because he had indeed stolen and eaten one of them.

Seeing Lei Zhenzi's eyes begin to wander, Jiang Ziya immediately understood what was going on, but still smiled and remained silent.

However, Lei Zhenzi couldn't take it anymore: "Uncle-Master Jiang, if you have nothing else to say, I'll take my leave now!"

After saying this, he pressed down on the cloud, turned around, and flew back. Jiang Ziya shouted after him:

"Nephew Lei, please thank your master for the fruit I gave him!"

Leaving aside the fact that Lei Zhenzi had stolen the fruit and started to mutate, another hour passed, and Jiang Ziya returned to his small courtyard once again.

The moment I stepped inside, I hesitated to take another step.

Because there was simply nowhere else to stay!

The entire yard was piled high with all sorts of corpses, including large ones like tigers and wild boars, and smaller ones like foxes and hedgehogs, filling the entire yard to the brim.

Meanwhile, Chi Yaotai and Ma Shi were pointing and discussing something together:

"Look, these foxes have nice fur colors with little color variation. If we skin them and make collars out of them, they'll definitely fetch a good price."

"Yes, we'll make these roe deer, wild deer, and wild boar into dried meat to eat during the New Year!"

"I have a little secret for making cured pork..."
