After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

How to eat: ...

Zhou Yan pursed his lips.

Is it actually edible?

And then there's Dapeng...

Zhou Yan remembered Bai Rusu saying that there were only six awakened beings at the True God level, and Zhang Yuan was clearly not on that list.

As for the true Great Roc God, Zhou Yan estimated that it would have to be the Golden-Winged Roc.

Zhang Yuan's bloodline purity is clearly insufficient; he is merely a roc, but his wings are not yet made of gold—no, not true divine gold.

However, whether he is a true god or a demigod, Zhang Yuan is an awakened being with a high level of awakening. With the blessing of this level of awakening, Zhang Yuan's ability to control the wind has evolved into controlling the airflow. What does controlling the airflow mean?

Zhang Yuan can compress air and then suddenly release the high-pressure air. Under this sudden pressure relief, the force of the explosion can shatter a lightly armed tank.

Just now, Zhang Yuan placed a hundred high-pressure bombs next to the Ghost General Lü Bu.

Such a high-density attack was enough to shatter an entire tank group on a battlefield, but after the smoke and dust cleared, the unharmed Ghost General Lü Bu silently emerged from the thick smoke, dragging his halberd.

It was imposing.

The bodyguards around him gasped in shock. Even a mountain-moving ape would have been killed in this blast zone, yet Lü Bu was completely unharmed.

Only Zhang Yuan looked displeased. Where did this stinky stone ghost come from? Didn't it see that he was picking up girls?

Zhang Yuan genuinely felt that this ghostly creature in front of him, whose identity he didn't know, deserved to die after being hit by his cannon. This way, he would save face and be able to say it in front of Little Yama. It would also be a quick and painless death for this ghostly general, Lü Bu.

Otherwise, things would be like this now: this thing isn't dead, and I've already lost face in front of Little Yama.

As expected, these lowly people are disgusting. They were obsequious before they died, only able to get a bite to eat by relying on the superiors, and they still brought shame upon themselves after death.

Do you even have any self-awareness as inferior beings?

"Oh."

Zhang Yuan sneered, and after he finished laughing, Lu Bu's eyes lit up.

Zhang Yuan extracted the oxygen from the air and then made it burn rapidly. The flames, exceeding 2000°C, from the combustion of pure oxygen engulfed every inch of Lü Bu's body, turning this three-meter-tall ghost general into a giant torch consumed by flames.

In this eternally gloomy and dark abyss, the appearance of this enormous torch immediately illuminated a large area around it, bathing the surrounding area in intense light.

Zhang Yuan has lived in this abyss underworld for several years, going out hunting and treasure hunting every day. He knows very well that flames and yang energy are very effective against ghosts and monsters. Basically, as long as he pours the flames from the oxygen-ignited fire onto the evil ghosts, 99% of them will be burned to death, and the remaining 1% will be burned to ashes.

This Lu Bu will probably be the same.

Zhang Yuan turned his head triumphantly to meet Xiao Yanjun's gaze. This guy, who thought he had already killed Lü Bu, was about to say some pretentious things like "a worthless piece of trash," when the bodyguards around him exclaimed in surprise.

"He's not dead!"

"My God, what is that?"

"how so!"

Zhang Yuan suddenly turned around and saw that black mist was slowly emanating from Lu Bu's body, which was enveloped in a temperature of two thousand degrees Celsius. This black mist was like rubber, and wherever it passed, the flames disappeared, revealing Lu Bu's body beneath the flames.

Zhang Yuan felt increasingly disgusted.

Why can't you lowly commoners just die already? Don't you know how much your noble family hates you incompetent, pretentious trash...?

Lu Bu swung his halberd across from Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan felt a chill run down his neck.

By the time he realized what was happening, a jade pendant that Zhang Yuan had placed on his chest had shattered, and fragments fell from inside his clothes to the hem, landing on the ground with a soft rustling sound.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shudder, a fear he had never felt before washing over him.

This jade pendant is a magical artifact that can take someone's place in death. If I'm not mistaken, I was probably killed when Lu Bu swung his halberd just now.

The jade pendant died in her place.

Lu Bu, who hadn't reacted before, grunted. Beneath his tattered helmet, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up, and a hint of confusion slowly crept into his murderous pupils.

Lu Bu didn't understand why Zhang Yuan hadn't died.

If he's not dead, he's not dead. Lü Bu picked up his halberd again.

Zhang Yuan on the other side couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't know who this ghost general was, but based on Lu Bu's near-death experience just now, Zhang Yuan knew that now was not the time to doubt his life.

A gust of wind enveloped Zhang Yuan, propelling him away at a speed of one kilometer per second, with his speed increasing rapidly.

Sun Wukong once said at Lion Camel Ridge that the Golden-Winged Roc was stronger than him. The reason for his strength was subtle. Sun Wukong claimed that he could fight 100,000 heavenly soldiers not because he was made of steel or had seventy-two transformations, but because he had the Somersault Cloud. If he couldn't win, he would run away and fight while running away, and he could win.

The somersault cloud can travel 108,000 li in one somersault, while the Golden-Winged Roc can travel 20,000 li with a single flap of its wings. Therefore, the Golden-Winged Roc flies faster than Sun Wukong, and Sun Wukong's movement speed cannot keep up, so he claims that he cannot defeat or catch up with the Golden-Winged Roc.

Zhang Yuan also possessed the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc, but his inheritance was somewhat inferior, with only the bloodline of a demigod. However, when he flew, he still retained some of the charm of the Golden-Winged Roc. He had only been escaping for two breaths when he became a tiny dot in the sky.

Lu Bu, who was on the ground, put away his halberd and drew a large bow from thin air.

In many games, archers are often designed as physically weak units with only outstanding ranged abilities, but this is actually impossible.

Normally, archers are melee infantrymen who brave a hail of arrows to rush in front of them. But who knew that the archers would drop their bows, casually draw a sword, and be able to kill ten melee infantrymen by themselves? They were muscular men whose arms were thicker than a normal person's thighs.

You need superhuman strength to draw a heavy bow, and superhuman stamina to draw it continuously (archery is extremely physically demanding). In other words, an archer must be a true man with maximum strength and endurance, fierce at long range and even fiercer in melee.

Therefore, in some Heroic Spirit/FGO works, it is quite reasonable for the archer class to have stronger melee capabilities than ranged capabilities, and there are many historical examples to support this.

Even in ancient times, you couldn't imagine how much of a threat an archer posed to the enemy. Lu Su, a well-known good-natured man in the Three Kingdoms period, who seemed soft and cute, was besieged by hundreds of government troops when he was in Jiangdong. Lu Su said, "You have no reward for capturing me, and no punishment for releasing me. I am a strong man, so why bother capturing me?"

Then Lu Su set up a wooden shield, and shot an arrow from dozens of paces away, piercing the shield. This frightened the soldiers who were besieging him so much that they dared not move, allowing Lu Su to leave easily.

In the Three Kingdoms period, Lü Bu's archery skills, particularly his shooting of the halberd at the gate, shocked the world.

Now, the ghost general Lü Bu, after his death, aimed his precious bow and divine arrows at Zhang Yuan, who was frantically fleeing for his life.

The bow is drawn as straight as the moon.

let go.

The arrow whistled out.

Chapter Twenty-Two Deep

Extremely far in the air.

Zhang Yuan flew desperately toward the nearest safe outpost, but to prevent any "hero saves the damsel in distress" scenario, he had led his men to a location a hundred kilometers away from the nearest outpost.

Even if you grit your teeth and fly, it will still take at least fifteen seconds to reach a hundred kilometers.

However, this should be enough. Zhang Yuan believed that his flying speed was incredibly fast, and if he really wanted to escape, few people could catch him.

The only pity is that the little Yama King who had been tantalizingly roguish is gone, and the bodyguard team he had trained for over ten years is probably going to die at the hands of that ghost general who appeared out of nowhere.

How could I be so unlucky? I finally found a great toy and was even able to avenge my nephew, but I ended up losing so much.

"Waaaaah..."

Something incredibly fast was tearing through the air as it approached. Zhang Yuan, who was running for his life, looked back and saw a three-meter-long arrow, with an arrowhead as thick as a human head, hurtling toward his buttocks at an unimaginable speed.

Then, the man and the arrow collided one after the other.

A flower of flesh and blood bloomed in mid-air.

……

Location of the kidnapping.

Lu Bu, who had shot and killed Zhang Yuan, turned around and glanced at his bodyguards, who were dumbfounded and had never expected their boss to abandon them so easily.

Without further ado, the bodyguards transformed into streaks of light and dispersed. In their minds, if they ran away while Zhou Yan and the others were still standing there unable to move, Lu Bu would definitely go after Zhou Yan and the others first.

So he should have been safe before Zhou Yan and the others met their end. But Lu Bu didn't even look at Zhou Yan and the others. Instead, he casually waved his four-meter-long halberd at the fleeing bodyguards.

A silver light flashed in mid-air, and with each flash, a bodyguard who had run hundreds of meters away was decapitated.

In no time, all the bodyguards were dead. After killing them, Lü Bu shouldered his halberd and walked away step by step, eventually disappearing around a corner.

Zhou Yan, who had been watching the show the whole time, was now completely bewildered and didn't understand what had happened. Wolf asked tremblingly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Lin'an, who is to the left of Wolf One, said in astonishment."

"It seems that the people who kidnapped us encountered some local wild evil spirits. The evil spirits killed people and ran away."

Wolf Two looked at Zhou Yan, Little Yama. He hadn't heard much of what Zhou Yan said to Little Yama because he was too scared, but his intuition told him that these things seemed to be related to Zhou Yan and Little Yama.

In short.

Zhou Yan turned around and looked in the direction of Wolf One with a grin.

"We are safe..."

"null!"

A ghost general wearing tattered black armor, but with a style completely different from that of Lu Bu, walked out from another corner.

This ghost general was only 1.8 meters tall, and his armor did not look as imposing as Lu Bu's armor. However, as he walked, black mist constantly emanated from his body, and the black mist continuously evolved into ghost faces filled with negative emotions such as anger, distortion, fear, and resentment.

The ghost general seemed to be pulling an endless horde of evil spirits with him, so that as the ghost general got closer, the tidal wave of negative emotions enveloped Zhou Yan and everyone except Little Yama.

From Wolf One to Wolf Four, including Lin Anru, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. After this chill, it was as if they had fallen into an icy pool, and every pore on their body was emitting a chilling aura that made them tremble uncontrollably.

The chilling ghost general approached Little Yama, and because Little Yama was sitting on the far side, everyone except Zhou Yan felt that the ghost general was about to chop down their own people one by one.

What does it mean to escape one wolf's den only to fall into another tiger's lair?

That's it.

Wolf One, who was by Zhou Yan's side, was about to cry. When Zhang Yuan pulled him out, he thought he was going to die. Then Lu Bu appeared. After Lu Bu dealt with Zhang Yuan and left, Wolf One, who thought he was safe, hadn't recovered yet. Then, Ghost General, who looked incredibly fierce, appeared.

God, do you even care about people anymore?

Playing with these few people through life and death is more thrilling than riding a roller coaster, isn't it?

On the other side, Lin An took a few breaths, exhaling some of the fear and gloom in her heart, before turning to look at the expressionless Zhou Yan.

"Zhou Yan?"

Zhou Yan turned to look at Lin Anru, who gave him a rather unpleasant smile.

"You are the most manly man I have ever met. You don't know, but when you came into the private room of the restaurant, the first thing I thought was that when I look for a husband in the future, I must find someone like you who is willing to stand up for others in times of trouble."

Zhou Yan chuckled a few times, and was about to say something when Xiao Yanjun suddenly grabbed the back of Zhou Yan's hand. Zhou Yan turned around and saw that Xiao Yanjun's eyes were frighteningly bright. This woman was shouting at Lin Anru.
