I really didn't want to burn it.

Boom boom boom!

The explosions occurred continuously around Ying Zheng, but they did not harm him in the slightest.

"This attack is useless! I don't even need to dodge! You can't even break through my barrier, so what can you do?"

"And what can it do?" Li Ang retorted with a confident sneer. "Just this!"

“? (?urisaz)!”

A lightning bolt several times stronger than before began to rage through the cave, instantly engulfing the entire cavern in a blinding flash of electricity.

"This is.....!?"

"Let me experience the tribulations that all cultivators face! Thunder God, help me!"

Countless bolts of lightning converged into a terrifying beam of light, striking directly at Ying Zheng.

"Hmph, you use Western magic to summon the gods of China!"

Ying Zheng chuckled and shook a man and a woman over.

"The real Thunder God is here! Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, heed my command!"

Under the effect of the illusion's spell, the lightning bolt that was originally aimed at Ying Zheng was redirected to the side.

Boom boom!

The mountainside of Baiyun Mountain was directly pierced, and huge rocks rolled down.

"Mast, let's get away!"

To prevent her Master from being affected, Mash quickly pulled Ritsuka away.

"Tsk, it's not over yet!"

Li Ang once again gathered lightning.

"It's no use, the same trick won't work on me!"

Ying Zheng approached Li Ang at an unimaginable speed.

"Where the hell did you come from, Saint Seiya?!"

Li Ang had just finished complaining when he was hit by Ying Zheng's "Friendship Punch".

"You talk too much!"

Ying Zheng coldly retorted.

"No, you've fallen for their trap."

Li Ang wrapped his arms around Ying Zheng, intending to dislocate his arms once again.

"Is it?"

Ying Zheng remained calm.

Suddenly, Li Ang felt a tremendous force pulling on his left leg, and he immediately lost his balance.

Li Ang then noticed that a golden rope had emerged from the ground and wrapped around his calf.

"Tu Xingsun's Immortal-Binding Rope?"

"correct."

Ying Zheng easily dodged Li Ang's arms.

Li Ang, who had originally planned to follow Ying Zheng's movements and turn his body accordingly, understood Ying Zheng's intentions.

Aside from the waist, the body's rotation must be centered on one foot while the other moves. However, with his left foot entangled, he was unable to keep up with Ying Zheng's speed quickly and in time.

"bump!"

Li Ang, who had made a mistake, was grabbed by the neck and slammed against the stone wall by Ying Zheng, who came close by.

"The outcome is decided." Ying Zheng sneered, slowly increasing the pressure in his hand. "It's a dead end, my friend."

"Brother Zheng, do you really think so?" Although he was having difficulty breathing, Li Ang still maintained that wild smile on his face.

"what?"

“? (?urisaz)!”

The dazzling lightning once again roared through the cave.

"I told you it's useless!"

The Thunder God and Lightning Goddess behind Ying Zheng raised their magical artifacts again, intending to draw away Li Ang's lightning.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two arrows and a dagger came hurtling through the air.

The arrow pierced through the illusions of the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, while the dagger pierced the ground near the Immortal Binding Rope.

The three phantoms summoned by Ying Zheng disappeared.

“The situation has reversed, Brother Zheng.”

Li Ang, now free, grinned broadly. He froze the still bewildered Ying Zheng in place with a single freeze attack and then quickly fled.

"Bye bye."

The next second, more than a dozen bolts of lightning struck Ying Zheng.

In the explosion, the immense force sent Ying Zheng flying, slamming him onto the stone platform. The mountainside of Baiyun Mountain, made of ordinary stone, couldn't withstand the impact and instantly crumbled into dust.

Li Ang wiped the sweat from his face after running out of the lightning's attack range. He looked back and saw that Red A and Jing Ke had finally arrived.

Li Ang gave the two of them the middle finger.

"You guys are way too slow. And that dagger almost hit me. Is this what you call a righteous hero? I love it."

Faced with Li Ang's sarcasm, Jing Ke retorted without hesitation.

"I was just there to take you two down."

"Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a woman!"

"Excuse me," Red A interjected, "Although I also want to take this guy down, it's best to avoid infighting."

"makes sense."

Jing Ke temporarily gave up on continuing his sharp tongue.

Because she had already seen that in the pile of rubble that had been blasted out by Li Ang's lightning, a hand dressed in a black dragon robe reached out, and then Ying Zheng stood on the rubble once again.

Although the dust covering Ying Zheng made him look particularly disheveled, the lightning attack that had just struck him, powerful enough to obliterate a person, had left no trace on him.

"Are you kidding me? You actually survived that?"

Although he hadn't experienced it firsthand, Jing Ke had no doubt about the power of Li Ang's lightning.

That terrifying divine punishment power could never be a counterfeit imitation.

"Should I praise him? He truly deserves the title of the Monster Emperor, the Ancestral Dragon?"

"Even dragon hide isn't this tough. This bastard's not even human anymore!"

Li Ang rubbed his chin.

"So, what is the battle plan?"

Jing Ke asked, eager to try.

"Hold off that bastard Ying Zheng before he releases his protective barrier! As long as he's still on Qin soil, we have no chance of winning."

"Oh haha."

"Don't look at me like that. I've wanted to yell at him for a long time."

Li Ang felt very uncomfortable under the strange looks from Jing Ke and Red A.

"Meow~"

Phil jumped onto Leon's shoulder.

Li Ang stroked the cat's head.

"I'd completely forgotten about you. Is it accessible now?"

"Meow~"

Phil nodded.

"Are you Sailor Moon? You even bring a cat to the battlefield!"

"You're so ignorant. Phil is my familiar."

Phil was redeemed by Li Ang from the system; how could he just be a simple mascot?

"Alright, Ying Zheng. Give up. You have no chance of winning now that we've surrounded you. Repent for your sins to your Master, Ritsuka!"

With his comrade-in-arms in hand, Li Ang pointed at Ying Zheng and declared with righteous indignation.

"Hahaha! Li Ang, this is the first time I've discovered that you have a talent for crosstalk."

Ying Zheng let out a triumphant laugh: "We've come this far, how could I possibly give up! If you really want to deny me, then come and defeat me! Isn't it common sense to prove your justice with your fists?!"

Li Ang hooked his ear with his little finger and replied impatiently, "Looks like I wasted my time teaching you politics. All you know is fighting and killing, which doesn't solve anything. That's something I told you in the very first lesson. Looks like I'll have to bring you along next time I tutor Fusu."

"King Qin, you are not righteous at all, but merely violent! This time, let me complete the task I failed to finish in my lifetime."

Jing Ke spoke in a serious tone.

"Then come and defeat me, and prove your justice to me! Chaldean Heroes, and my Grand Tutor."

Ying Zheng looked at the two of them with a cold smile.

Li Ang and Jing Ke exchanged a glance, then spoke in unison.

"it is good!"

only.....

The two men made a sprinting motion, but did not actually move.

"Jing Ke, why aren't you moving?"

Li Ang glanced at Jing Ke beside him.

"I am an assassin, so naturally you should lead the charge!"

Jing Ke answered as a matter of course.

"I'm a mage who only knows how to throw stones, and all my talent points are in intelligence! How dare you let me go first?"

"Isn't a so-called mage supposed to only invest in illumination spells and then focus all their remaining points on melee combat?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you're clearly the faster assassin!"

"You were running pretty fast just now, weren't you? Don't think I don't know you can use runes to enhance yourself, right?"

"Hey! My stupid godson, how could you have such a big mouth!"

"Um, how about I go first..."

Mashu gave an awkward laugh and offered her advice.

"Mash, shut up!" *2

"OK……"

"Alright, this is never going to end! Let's each take a step back and follow the old rules of the underworld: let's go at it side by side!"

Seeing that he couldn't reach a conclusion with Jing Ke, Li Ang made the following suggestion.

"I'll count 'one, two, three,' then we'll all charge!"

"Meow!"

Phil, perched on Li Ang's shoulder, agreed to the plan, wiggled its rear end, and assumed a pouncing stance.

But Jing Ke still had doubts.

"Wait, I want to confirm first, should we all charge together after the countdown ends, or should we charge when the countdown reaches three?"

"Of course we'll shout it out before we all go in together, you have to trust me."
