Chapter 179: Thunder Department Celestial’s Golden Bowl Artifact, a Battle with the Red Moon Blade Demon in Gu Tower?
Nine o’clock in the evening.
Dark clouds obscured the moon.
Inside Gu Tower Village, members of the guard team were on patrol.
Gu Yi and the others were gathered together at this moment.
“Father, the energy within this Gu Tower seems a bit off.”
Gu Yi looked at the moon in the sky, then at the Black Tower.
Although he hadn’t received the inheritance, he had lived a long time and had broad experience.
He also sensed that something was amiss.
With a solemn expression, he said, “If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be a major event in the coming days.”
“Then what should we do? Should we warn those people?”
Hearing this, Gu Yi said with a wry smile, “They probably know the current situation better than we do.”
“Know better? Then why didn’t they tell us?”
“Yu’er! You’re not a child anymore. You should understand some principles. This world doesn’t owe you, nor does it owe our Gu Tower Village. Only strength can earn respect.”
“Alas, it’s our Gu Tower Village that missed the opportunity.”
How did they miss it?
Naturally, it was because of the old Village Chief, who was his father, and the grandfather of Gu Yu and the others.
He couldn’t comment on this.
After all, the old Village Chief always said that the Black Dragon Emperor would one day cause a greater disaster.
Suppressing the Black Dragon Emperor was their generational mission, but now, as the day the Black Dragon Emperor was about to break free from the tower arrived, they were powerless.
Judging from the outbreak of Black Blood Disease in recent days, they were completely incapable of resisting! They could only seek help.
Looking at it now, only strength could control fate!
Without strength, one was a burden.
Thinking of this, Gu Yi said, “Tianhai City is organizing Martial Arts Classes, gathering geniuses from all walks of life. After this incident is over, you should all go and train.”
Gu Yu hesitated, “Father, the Tower Guardian cannot leave…”
“Hahaha~! Can you suppress this Black Dragon? The tower is about to break, what’s the use of you guarding an empty shell?”
“Besides, after today’s arena battle, haven’t you woken up yet?”
Hearing this, Gu Yu fell silent.
He had naturally seen the entire process of that battle.
He could only say that those two people were too strong!
“Father, I understand…”
On the Sakura Island side.
They had received clear news from their families.
Currently, four of the Black Demon King’s Seven Generals had arrived in the Ninth Administrative Region.
“Does China know about this news? If they don’t, they’re in for a lot of trouble!”
“According to the agreement, if we want to contact the family now, we must go through China.”
“…Even if they knew, their minds would be enough for them to handle.”
Miyamoto Nobukazu looked at the Black Tower and the suppression arrangements made today, his expression indeed solemn as he said, “The Black Demon’s arrangements are likely within their control.”
At this moment, Matsumoto Keiko spoke, “They’re here.”
Above the Black Tower, the bright moon hung high.
Streams of moonlight energy sprinkled onto the tall tower, but they were blocked by a dark blue, invisible barrier.
And at the foot of the mountain, by the river channel, a patrol team of ten members was constantly on alert for their surroundings.
Deep dense forest, tranquil river channel, dark deep pool…
Inside a makeshift shelter.
Yuan Guofeng had just received some news.
“The Black Demon is causing trouble in the city again.”
“Is it possible that the Black Demon will choose to abandon this Black Tower and instead cause a commotion in the city?”
To be honest, Bai Yu was also worried about this.
This was information he had investigated a few days ago. The Black Demon might sense that the arrangements here were complete and give up.
Yuan Guofeng, however, was full of confidence, “If that’s the case, then we will completely eliminate this hidden danger of the Black Dragon this time!”
Before, he wouldn’t have said this so easily, but now that they had that Black Jade Pearl, and after testing it, it was indeed related to the energy within the Black Tower, he was naturally much more confident.
“Buzz~!”
Just then, it was as if a wisp of demonic energy tried to rush out of the Black Tower towards the moon, but it was blocked by the formation.
Yuan Guofeng was not one for idle talk, saying, “Let’s make our move! As for the Black Demon, they will show themselves eventually.”
“Alright!”
Just like before, four Spirit Sea Realm experts were positioned in the four cardinal directions, with Director Yang at the top of the tower.
However, this time, they were all official Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses!
Four deep, dark-colored stone lions also began to change, faintly forming a formation.
A large amount of black qi was forcibly extracted from the Black Tower, accompanied by faint, low dragon roars.
After about three minutes.
Yuan Guofeng glanced at Bai Yu and the others below and said, “Come!”
Upon hearing this command, Li Zha flew into the sky and stood at the eastern formation point, Yang Fei at the west, the successor of Zhuge Liang at the south, and Miyamoto Shinjo at the north.
Bai Yu was not polite either, leaping up and landing directly above the Gu Tower.
This was the main formation point!
Li Zha and the others, though confused, or perhaps even a little unconvinced, could only obey the arrangements.
Upon landing at the main formation point, Bai Yu felt a natural sense of control!
Below, it was as if a world was being suppressed, and this world seemed to be expanding outwards with immense force.
Seeing this, he immediately summoned his four pages.
The surging black qi, guided by the formation, began to pour into his pages.
One could see the four people below also ‘contending’ for this black qi.
Li Zha and Yang Fei were actually the weakest!
Next was the successor of Zhuge Liang – Zhuge Ming.
As for Miyamoto Shinjo, his Golden Crow True Fire was indeed powerful. With a single breath, he converted a large amount of black qi, about twice as much as Zhuge Ming.
Bai Yu, located at the main formation point, was only slightly stronger than him.
As a large amount of the Black Dragon Emperor’s demonic energy poured in, Bai Yu could feel his pages undergoing astonishing changes.
For him, the page that absorbed the most was the Fourth Page, which sealed the Blood Pi Xiu! It accounted for seventy percent.
The Second Page absorbed twenty percent.
The remaining two pages divided the last ten percent.
As the formation operated more and more intensely, the opening of the Gu Tower grew larger, and the vast demonic energy was drawn out like a tide.
The Black Dragon within the tower seemed to be enraged, letting out a roar.
“Roar~!”
Just then…
A silver ripple appeared about a hundred meters ahead.
A ten-meter-long, snake-like Sea Monster with a strange Medusa-like hairstyle on its head appeared.
Behind it, a silver door also appeared.
Spatial ability!
As soon as it appeared, the official side did not hesitate. The Village Chief of Wang Family Village roared, his muscles tensing, his shirt bursting open.
Two axes appeared in his hands.
He then threw them directly, forming two golden-yellow beams of light in the air.
At this moment, from behind the silver spatial door, a black figure suddenly rushed out.
With a “boom~” sound.
A figure exuding immense black qi appeared. Behind him, a dark figure, seven meters tall, wielded a samurai sword and clashed heavily with the double axes.
Seeing this, the Village Chief of Wang Family Village retracted his hands, and the double axes spun back.
He also let out a hearty voice, saying, “Haha~! Come again!”
With that, he charged out of the formation.
One could feel that with the loss of a Spirit Sea Realm expert’s support, the pressure increased dramatically.
However, all of this was within the plan.
The intention was for these five juniors to support the formation! And to gain benefits from it.
Seeing one person missing and reinforcements arriving, the Black Dragon clearly gathered its strength, its energy increasing by fifty percent!
As the main formation point, Bai Yu bore the greatest pressure.
The evil energy he needed to absorb even doubled!
The surging lightning energy converted by the Third Page even flowed into his body.
Bai Yu also let out a low roar.
“Lightning, come!”
He directly activated the Heavenly Lightning Tempering Technique and the Golden Body Technique from his Third Page.
As the energy of the Golden Body Technique entered his body, his acupoints and meridians also became visible.
Golden light spots began to rotate continuously, directly circulating the cultivation technique!
Miyamoto Shinjo also felt immense pressure at this moment. Seeing Bai Yu’s actions, he frowned.
At this moment, on the battlefield.
There were a total of four Spirit Sea Realm experts on the opposing side.
A spatial Sea Monster, a Sea Serpent Clan expert, a crab demon carrying a scallop that exhaled pink mist, and one of the Black Demon King’s Seven Generals.
Two from the Sakura Island side, one from the official guard team, and two within the formation, were confronting them.
And from within the spatial gate, seawater flowed out. Hidden within the waterfall were many Sea Monsters, and… the Black Demon!
The hidden guard team members below immediately engaged them in battle.
In battles involving hundreds of people like this, casualties occurred quickly.
Seeing this, Bai Yu’s aura surged, his combat genes burning fiercely, but the pressure from the Black Tower grew increasingly intense.
At this moment, Yuan Guofeng, the third person at the formation point, also flew out.
With a wave of his hand, brilliant white light fell upon the injured warriors.
Meanwhile, the lightning within Bai Yu’s body grew more dazzling, and Bai Ling had already flown into the sky, beginning to gather the luck of this place.
The abundant lightning force on Bai Yu’s body was also transferred into the air.
“Rumble~!”
Muffled thunder began to gather.
Looking at Bai Yu’s astonishing might, the four people below had their eyes narrowed.
Li Zha’s twelve Buddhist Rosary Beads were already operating at maximum capacity. He also took out a golden bowl, intending to temper this treasure with the black qi.
“Buzz~!”
Behind him…
Zhao Yun’s soul phantom behind him became increasingly solid.
There were not many visible fluctuations from Zhuge Ming’s side. The formation formed by his Bagua feather fan began to spin wildly.
It appeared stable, but it wasn’t absorbing much.
However, the Golden Crow summoned by Miyamoto Shinjo suddenly let out a cry.
It then split into three and instantly opened its giant mouth to suck.
This wave of absorption speed directly accounted for forty percent of the total, significantly higher than Bai Yu’s thirty percent.
Just then, another Black Demon appeared on the distant battlefield.
Seeing this, the fourth expert below also withdrew.
The Black Dragon within the tower roared again.
“Roar~!”
After this roar, it was as if it had exerted its full strength, and it also served as a signal to its reinforcements.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the bright moon obscured by dark clouds.
“Bai Ling!”
“Roar~!”
Bai Ling naturally sensed this and let out a dragon’s roar. Using the immense lightning provided by Bai Yu, she gathered terrifying heavenly lightning and attacked the black shadow.
But this black shadow was clearly an assassin type. With a flash, it evaded the lightning.
With a “swish,” a black blade broke through the dark clouds, revealing the white figure in the sky.
At this moment, Bai Ling was eight meters long, appearing relatively petite.
The next moment, a giant dark green shield appeared around Bai Ling.
“Roar~!”
A phantom of the Black Tortoise appeared!
“Boom~!”
After a fierce collision, the first blow was withstood.
Bai Yu, using the power of the Golden Body Technique, had already quickly opened all the meridians in his body.
With this, he quickly circulated the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, which required six Heaven-Rank Acupoints and thirty-six Earth-Rank Acupoints, a total of one hundred and forty-four acupoints.
This technique could borrow the power of the Thunder Department Celestial!
“Nine Heavens Thunder Technique – Demon Suppression!”
“Rumble~!”
The thunderclouds suddenly parted in a circle, and above, a massive lightning phantom formed by concentrated lightning appeared.
It was humanoid, holding a lightning artifact resembling a golden bowl in its hand.
It raised this artifact and shone it towards the Dark Moon Demon General, the most skilled assassin among the Seven Generals.
The patterns on the purple bowl emerged, and over a dozen lightning serpents attacked him.
The Dark Moon Demon General flashed, intending to evade.
But with a “swish,” the black shadow he had transformed into suddenly collided with the lightning barrier.
In that moment of delay, the lightning serpents struck.
Seeing this, the Dark Moon Demon General’s aura surged, and he fiercely channeled power into his samurai sword, swinging it forward.
A crescent-shaped attack shot out.
“Boom~!”
A fierce clash occurred, and the immense lightning force was instantly shattered.
After all, he was a Spirit Sea Realm expert. Dodging was to conserve energy, not because he couldn’t fight.
Seeing this, Bai Yu snorted coldly.
He had absorbed so much energy, and he was feeling bloated. Now was the time to release it!
“Kill!”
As he spoke, the lightning pillar that had been condensing within his Fourth Page suddenly unleashed a more ferocious bolt of lightning.
It struck towards the Dark Moon Demon General.
The Dark Moon Demon General was still being targeted by the Celestial above. Seeing the attack coming, he didn’t channel his power and instead unleashed over a dozen crescent slashes.
“Boom, boom, boom~!”
At this moment, one of the Black Demon Generals fighting in the distance raised his samurai sword and unleashed a sky-splitting slash.
Dozens of blades, their power astonishing.
This was clearly a domineering type!
“Boom~!”
This attack directly struck the phantom of the Thunder Department Celestial in the sky, dispersing the dark clouds.
Only a large amount of lightning remained in the air.
“Hiss~!”
A giant sea serpent below also suddenly surged out of the underground river and charged directly at the crowd.
A total of three guard team members and four Gu Tower Village residents were directly swallowed, their fates unknown.
Seeing this, Bai Yu, whose body was filled with energy,
“Heavenly Soldiers, come!”
Over thirty Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers and ten Bronze Warriors quickly condensed.
But Bai Yu suddenly felt a trace of fatigue in his soul.
It was as if his strength had suddenly drained away.
“Bang, bang, bang~”
The Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers and Bronze Warriors that were condensing exploded.
Seeing this, Li Zha and the others, who were in shock, finally caught their breath.
In the short minute of combat just now, their entire minds had been absorbed, and only this one mistake allowed them to snap back to reality.
If they hadn’t thought carefully just now, they would have at least thought Bai Yu was a Half-Step Spirit Sea Realm expert!
But now, upon closer thought, damn! Qi Gathering Realm?
But before everyone could think further, the moment Bai Yu’s strength faltered, the Dark Moon Demon General flashed and directly attacked Bai Yu.
Even with Director Yang by his side, he still attacked.
But Director Yang was the core of the entire formation. If he made a move, the formation would surely have a flaw.
And if Bai Yu could withstand it himself, it would naturally relieve the pressure.
In a flash, under the moonlight, a figure appeared.
Bai Yu looked over.
A blood-red figure…
The Red Moon Blade Demon!
He! How could he be here!?
