Chapter 930: Dao Soldier Displays Might |
Shang Han True Monarch was, after all, a businessman, most skilled in networking, leveraging power over others, and plotting schemes.
When it came to bare-handed combat, fighting to the death, and facing enemies head-on, he lacked that unwavering determination.
Both he and Meng Zhang were cultivators at the mid Primordial Spirit stage, and he came from the powerful force known as the Great Unity Commerce Alliance, possessing formidable Divine Abilities.
Moreover, he held significant authority within the Great Unity Commerce Alliance and had substantial hidden incomes. He also made use of the Alliance's channels to acquire many magic tools for himself.
However, after Meng Zhang wielded the Spiritsnake Spear for close combat, Shang Han True Monarch lost that desperate aura, as if he became dwarfed by Meng Zhang.
He focused all his abilities on defense, mainly using his magic tools to protect himself.
Of course, Shang Han True Monarch was unwilling to fight Meng Zhang to the death not only because he felt somewhat guilty but also due to other expectations.
True Monarch Zhao Junli disappeared completely from the battlefield after the fighting began, vanishing without a trace.
To cultivators unfamiliar with him, it might seem as if he had sensed the unfavorable situation and fled before the battle.
Zhao Junli, on the surface, was a loose cultivator, but he had a deep connection with the Great Unity Commerce Alliance and received substantial support and assistance from them.
One could even say that he was a vicious hound nurtured by the Great Unity Commerce Alliance, specifically handling tasks the Alliance couldn't openly deal with.
After all, on the surface, he appeared to be an independent cultivator with no direct ties to the Alliance.
Although the Great Unity Commerce Alliance and True Monarch Zhao Junli had a close relationship and had cooperated happily, Shang Han True Monarch had paid a considerable price to bring him over from the Dali Dynasty's mainland and have him assassinate Meng Zhang.
True Monarch Zhao Junli had considerable strength in direct combat, but he excelled even more in ambushing and assassinating from behind.
When Meng Zhang and the others appeared, before launching an attack, Zhao Junli immediately utilized a secret technique, firmly concealing his own figure.
His hiding technique was extremely skillful, harnessing the power of the Hidden Grand Dao among the three thousand Grand Daos.
Even cultivators of the same level with keen perception found it difficult to detect his figure, no matter how they employed various investigative Divine Abilities.
In the eyes of the crowd, True Monarch Zhao Junli had already disappeared, most likely having fled.Before, when they first discovered Shang Han True Monarch and his group, Meng Zhang had already taken notice of Zhao Junli.
Among the crowd, Zhao Junli's Cultivation Base was not the highest, but he gave Meng Zhang a strong sense of danger.
Even the two enemies at the mid Primordial Spirit stage didn't evoke the same level of vigilance in Meng Zhang as this person did.
When Zhao Junli, utilizing the power of the Hidden Grand Dao, concealed his figure, Meng Zhang began searching for him.
If they were in the outside world, it would likely take some effort for Meng Zhang to find him.
Relying solely on the power of the Deception Breaking Eye might not be enough to penetrate the force of the Hidden Grand Dao.
However, they were in the space gap between the Netherworld and the mortal world, where the surrounding spatial structures were unstable.
Even if Zhao Junli had been extremely cautious, he couldn't help but disturb the surrounding space.
To Meng Zhang, who was proficient in the Space Grand Dao, such movements were already quite apparent.
Although he had long discovered Zhao Junli's traces, Meng Zhang pretended not to have noticed and went all-out against Shang Han True Monarch, attacking fiercely and exposing his back.
As long as Zhao Junli made a move, he would definitely reveal himself.
Since they were all Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, with sufficient vigilance, it would be challenging for him to launch a surprise attack.
His first target for the sneak attack was Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang was the strongest among the enemies and was currently pushing Shang Han True Monarch to a disadvantage.
If the sneak attack on Meng Zhang succeeded, it would immediately reverse the situation and change the balance of power between them.
Zhao Junli had cooperated with the Great Unity Commerce Alliance for many years and still had to consider the overall situation of the Alliance.
Moreover, since he had received benefits from Shang Han True Monarch, he had to ensure that the plan succeeded.
As Meng Zhang held the Spiritsnake Spear, causing Shang Han True Monarch to be in a sorry state, Zhao Junli silently appeared behind him.
At the same time, Meng Zhang's Natal Magic Tool, the Yin Yang Spirit Gourd, rose above his head.
Under the cover of the Yin Yang Spirit Gourd, two dao soldiers dressed in black and white dao robes quietly leaped out from the Spirit Gourd and appeared behind Meng Zhang.
Even as Meng Zhang worked hard to cultivate and break through to the mid Primordial Spirit stage, he didn't forget to nurture the Yin Yang Dao Soldier.Over the years, the entire Taiyi Sect has invested a considerable amount of manpower and resources, finally gathering all the materials to allow Meng Zhang to refine another Yin Yang Dao Soldier. At the current level of the Yin Yang Spirit Gourd, two Yin Yang Dao Soldiers with the strength of the early Primordial Spirit stage can be created. When these two Yin Yang Dao Soldiers work together and utilize secret techniques to draw upon the power of the Yin Yang Grand Dao, they can even contend with enemies at the mid Primordial Spirit stage.
Since its refinement, the Yin Yang Dao Soldier has remained hidden by Meng Zhang and has never appeared in public. Now, it is finally going to show its divine power. The two Yin Yang Dao Soldiers with the strength of the early Primordial Spirit stage raise their hands and gently move them in front of their chests. A black and a white stream of Qi gather and form, fiercely colliding with Zhao JunliTrue Monarch, who was preparing to sneak attack Meng Zhang.
These two Yin Yang Dao Soldiers can naturally harness the power of the Yin Yang Grand Dao. They have mastered various Yin-Yang Dao Techniques and Divine Abilities and can further strengthen themselves using the power of the Yin Yang Spirit Gourd.
Unexpectedly, Meng Zhang had already seen through Zhao Junli's actions and had a killer move waiting for him. The Yin-Yang Qi of the Dao Technique accurately hit Zhao JunliTrue Monarch, who couldn't dodge in time.
Zhao Junli's body kept shimmering with light. His protective magic tools and defensive spells automatically activated, continuously offsetting the damage caused by the Yin-Yang Qi.
As an assassin, he naturally valued his own defense and was afraid of being caught off guard by enemies. He had many means of protection, ensuring that he could constantly counteract the enemy's attacks when ambushed.
However, the combined Dao Technique of the two Yin Yang Dao Soldiers unleashed a powerful force that successfully broke through Zhao JunliTrue Monarch's various defensive measures, causing him significant injury.
Shang Han True Monarch, who was struggling to defend against Meng Zhang's attacks, smiled when he saw Zhao JunliTrue Monarch appear. But his smile froze on his face and his heart turned cold when he witnessed Zhao JunliTrue Monarch being counter-ambushed by Meng Zhang.
Meng Zhang actually had so many hidden killer moves. Despite the Great Unity Commerce Alliance's intelligence-gathering abilities, they had received no prior information about this.
This person's scheming and ruthlessness are truly rare.
Instead of pursuing Shang Han True Monarch, Meng Zhang's body suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was behind Zhao JunliTrue Monarch, who was continually retreating.
Meng Zhang swung the Spiritsnake Spear, and the power of slaughter surged as he lightly thrust at Zhao JunliTrue Monarch.
At this moment, Shang Han True Monarch, who should have come to entangle Meng Zhang and support Zhao JunliTrue Monarch, hesitated due to fear and did not take timely action.
