Chapter 125: The Arrival of Sha Kui
In the morning light, Miao Caixin glanced apologetically at Zhang Ping, then led her people and flew out of the city.
For a while, Zhang Ping stood silently in place.
The morning breeze was still a bit chilly, blowing the bangs on either side of his forehead.
Zhang Ping's gaze turned deep, then he suddenly shook his head and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Miao is truly a mischievous fellow, resorting to such petty tricks."
Miao Caixin was certain that she needed her to refine the essence gu, and she wouldn't let anything happen to her before the essence gu was refined.
Zhang Ping had to go to fight the rebels this time to ensure that nothing unexpected happened to her.
The reason I didn't inform him beforehand was simply because I was worried he would prevent me from going.
Although Zhang Ping would most likely agree if he asked, being tricked so quietly like this was still quite unpleasant.
As his complexion gradually returned to normal, Zhang Ping glanced in the direction Miao Caixin and the others had left, and followed them.
......
A hundred miles outside the royal city, dark clouds gathered.
The thick, dark clouds, as black as ink, seemed like the hand of heaven, pressing down and obscuring the sun.
There were flashes of lightning.
"You've fought against Zhang Ping?"
Amidst the thunder, a gigantic demon with two horns on its head, resembling a white ape, stood before the Black Tiger King.
Sha Kui's injuries have fully healed, and electric arcs are crackling on his body.
The Black Tiger King folded its four crystal wings behind it and opened its jaws, saying, "In our second encounter, that human was very strong. He could also manipulate blood; it was extremely strange."
Its blood-red tiger eyes unusually revealed a solemn expression.
Since he was almost killed by Zhang Ping in the battle of Black Tiger City, after returning to the Demon Capital, he recovered his cultivation ahead of schedule with the help of the Demon Lord and reached his peak.
Even so, he was still at a disadvantage when he fought Zhang Ping again.
Sha Kui had also suffered at Zhang Ping's hands, nearly losing his life in the battle of Ghost Heaven Mountain Range. He nodded in agreement: "I never imagined that after a thousand years, the Wei Kingdom would produce such a powerful martial arts style."
"I once encountered an old fellow in the Ghost Sky Mountains. That old fellow was no ordinary person; he possessed earth-attribute qi and blood. He already had the qualifications to break through to the next level, and if it weren't for the sealing effect, he should have been able to advance further."
Sha Kui and Black Tiger King are both demon kings, but they lived in different eras.
The Sha Kui came from a thousand years ago, when the Three Kingdoms were divided and there was no powerful human kingdom.
In contrast, the era in which the Black Tiger King lived is more recent.
Before the previous demon king Shanze, there was this one, the king of wind, the Black Tiger King.
"No," Black Tiger King shook his head.
"In my time, humanity was not this powerful. All of this was brought about by that outsider."
The transmission of the Dharma by the King of Heaven is known throughout the world.
Just as the two rulers from different generations were conversing, a commotion suddenly broke out among the rebels in the eastern border below.
"That woman actually dared to take the initiative?"
Sensing the powerful aura approaching from the horizon, He Changhong, who was embracing Meiji in his tent, put down his wine cup in surprise.
Inside the camp, the rebel leaders also noticed the arrival of Miao Caixin and her group, and immediately began to rub their hands together in anticipation.
"Sir, go out and kill them!"
The humiliation I suffered a few days ago is still vivid in my mind.
He Changhong sneered, raised the spear beside him, and shouted, "Everyone, prepare to fight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his blood and qi erupted, and he instantly broke through the tent and flew out!
The other martial artists in the tent unleashed their qi and blood, following closely behind.
"Miao Caixin! You actually volunteered to fight. If I'm not mistaken, it's to cover the escape of those useless royals, isn't it?"
Thick, dark clouds obscured the sky, making the light somewhat dim.
Only when lightning flashes can the earth be illuminated.
He Changhong wielded a long spear, and a black Gu worm unleashed its power behind him.
Ahead, Miao Caixin's sword shadows split apart.
Miao Zhan and the others drew their weapons, staring at He Changhong with murderous intent.
"He Changhong! You old dog, if it weren't for the king's order, how would your He family have had the chance to become the overlord of the Eastern Territory? Now you're willing to be a traitor, it's a disgrace!" Miao Zhan shouted angrily, his eyes blazing with fury.
Despite being insulted, He Changhong remained unperturbed. The fierce wind whipped his hair wildly behind him as he laughed maniacally.
"Hahaha! Miao Caixin's dog, since when can it bark like that!"
After all,
One shot,
The spear flashes like a dragon!
The battle erupted instantly, and the Eastern rebels below felt the powerful force carried by the aftershocks of the battle, and fled in panic.
Above and below, this is a battle between warriors in the Essence Blood Realm and the Bone Forging Realm.
Martial artists with strength below this level are simply unable to intervene, as the Southern Frontier lacks the combined attack formations of the Great Wei's Black Abyss Army.
Zhang Ping arrived late.
The person stood on a small, distant mound, showing no intention of making a move.
His gaze fell upon the thick, dark thunderclouds that blanketed the sky for miles around, his expression grave.
He sensed a familiar presence within it.
"Sha Kui? It actually came too."
The next moment, the massive bodies of Sha Kui and the Black Tiger King appeared from the thunderclouds. Their powerful aura pressed down on Zhang Ping without any attempt to conceal it.
Miao Zhan and the others below sensed these two extremely powerful auras and subconsciously stopped attacking.
Upon discovering that the two demons showed no intention of attacking, they immediately went to fight the warriors from the Eastern Border again.
As for Zhang Ping, a violent current of air, mixed with a foul stench, pressed down from above, instantly shattering the mound of earth beneath his feet!
"Hmph!" Zhang Ping snorted coldly.
Black Tortoise Armor!
......
Thunderclouds loomed over the city, and two enormous demons confronted a tiny human figure.
Not far away, top martial artists clashed. The aftershocks raged and spread.
"Zhang Ping, our clan's momentum is unstoppable. Why not join us? The position of Battle General under the Demon Lord is reserved for you."
Sha Kui crossed his thick, long arms over his chest, his large pectoral muscles bulging, and an interest showing on his fair face.
Seeing that Zhang Ping did not interfere in the battlefield, they did not take action either, but instead tried to persuade him to surrender.
Zhang Ping initially didn't want to pay attention, but the attitude of the two demons, Sha Kui and Er, stirred something within him.
A look of interest crossed his face as he asked, "What will I gain by joining?"
Sha Kui was surprised that Zhang Ping was interested and immediately said, "As long as you become one of us, when the Demon Lord breaks through the seal, he will lead us to sweep across the Barren Spirit Sea and the Sunset Marshland! At that time, this former territory of Wei and Zhao will be yours, how about it?"
The Sea of Withered Spirits?
From Sha Kui's words, Zhang Ping noticed the place name Ku Ling Hai.
The vast and boundless Wanling Domain, having learned from Wen Gaoyang that the Luoxia Marshland is adjacent to the former lands of Wei and Zhao, suggests that the Dry Spirit Sea must also be nearby.
The Demon Lord wants to break free and then attack these two places?
With demonic intent in mind, he continued, "I need a month to consider this. Miao Caixin cannot die within this month."
Upon hearing this, Sha Kui's face darkened with anger, and he wanted to scold Zhang Ping for being ungrateful.
The Black Tiger King, unable to bear it any longer, glanced at it with its blood-red eyes and said coldly, "Brother Sha Kui, Zhang Ping is clearly playing you, just trying to buy time."
Sha Kui paused, and his body inexplicably flashed with a large amount of lightning.
The anger on his face vanished instantly: "Hmph! Zhang Ping, you think you can fool me with such a petty trick? I am the King of Thunder, I was just toying with you."
Zhang Ping's lips twitched, and he thought to himself: It seems that the Black Tiger King is a little smarter than Sha Kui.
He didn't care that he hadn't achieved his goal, and he was too lazy to say anything more to the simple-minded Sha Kui.
He turned his head and continued to keep an eye on Miao Caixin to prevent any accidents from happening to her.
Unexpectedly, just as he turned his head, he suddenly heard Sha Kui shout!
"Zhang Ping, you dare to tilt your head to the left! Die!"
It roared, and lightning from the sky poured into its body like a torrent.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed from an ape-like demon into a thunder giant, holding a hundred-meter-long bow in his hand, and red lightning flashed!
The Black Tiger King, standing to the side, was startled and looked at Sha Kui with a puzzled expression.
Zhang Ping also felt a chill run down his spine, as Hong Lei locked onto him from a great distance, causing his hair to stand on end.
"You don't want to play..."
Before he could finish speaking, a crimson lightning arrow was already upon him...
