Chapter 288 - Instruction

“Could you tell me about my last life?” asked Wang Bugui.

Seeing Ying Zheng tell Ning Zhe about his last life, Wang Bugui seized the opportunity to figure out his and Hanae Chiou’s last lives.

Ying Zheng turned around slowly and looked at the proud young man. Moments later, Ying Zheng frowned and his finger shot out golden rays to cover Wang Bugui.

Moments later, he took back his spiritual strength. He looked even more confused as he replied, “You don’t belong to this world. You didn’t live your last life here, and you won’t live your next life here, either. You only live here in this life.”

“What?!”

Everybody else was shocked except for Blood Demon King, who already knew the last life of Wang Bugui. Ying Zheng’s words only proved his guess.

All he knew about Wang Bugui was that he used to be an immortal in his last life. The young man didn’t belong to this world; he was an interdimensional traveler.

The reason why he had traveled to this world was unknown. According to Zi Yuxiao, Wang Bugui never belonged to his world, not when he was an immortal, and not when he was an ordinary cultivator, either.

In that way, Wang Bugui might come from another dimension or parallel universe. It was a coincidence that he died at the same time as someone else in this world died.

By using some powerful items that could twist the dimension, he was sent to this world and reincarnated. That was Ying Zheng’s hypothesis, but Wang Bugui himself might be the only one who would know how he traveled here.

“Then may I ask, what am I in this world for?” Wang Bugui continued asking.

“I don’t know how to figure it out. I’ve failed to calculate, and I found myself too weak to peek into your last life,” Ying Zheng said slowly.

Wang Bugui sighed when he heard that answer. It seemed that the only way for him to know his last life was to promote his own cultivation level so that he could reveal those secrets by himself.

Ying Zheng smiled and exclaimed, “You’ve got plenty of interesting talents in your generation, which implies that the world may be faced with an unprecedented catastrophe.

“I can give you some instructions, but only you can decide how far you can go in cultivation.”

Chu He cupped his hands and said, “Thank you.”

The others followed him and saluted Ying Zheng. He started to instruct them one by one.

“You two can challenge me together,” said Ying Zheng, pointing his finger at Lyu Hao and Zhao Changge.

The two looked at each other and nodded. Then they summoned their weapons and stepped forward.

“Sorry if we offend you.”

The two saluted Ying Zheng. He shook his hand and said, “Save it. You’re not even qualified to ‘offend me’.”

As soon as he finished saying that, the two suddenly vanished.

“Clang!”

In the blink of an eye, a fast cold light shot at Ying Zheng.

“Hehe…”

When Zhao Changge was shoving his spear into Ying Zheng’s body, he suddenly found Ying Zheng smiling at him. It seemed that their plan had been totally seen through!

“Boom!”

Ying Zheng’s hand pulled the spear aside. His palm stuck to the spear and turned over. Then he grabbed it with one hand and dragged it to himself; the other hand punched out to the far end of the spear.

“Boom!”

That punch was aimed at Zhao Changge’s face, but it was blocked by Lyu Hao’s double-bladed halberd. Zhao Chengge seized the opportunity and moved to one side of the spear, then he took back his own spear and started to wave it fast.

His spear skills were mature now. People could see General Zilong grow in him. The dragon gut silver spear moved around. Zhao Chengge moved like drifting flower petals and his steps were as swift as snow.

He tried to impose restrictions on Ying Zheng with his quick spear, and he constantly narrowed down the opponent’s moving space so that it was within his spear’s reach.

“Ugh!!”

Lyu Hao was standing behind him, looking for Ying Zheng’s weak points and trying his best to attack. He had already performed the first three moves of the Overpowering Halberd Strikes.

Ying Zheng covered his hands with Dragon Qi and punched with his right first to stop the spear. Then he moved aside to avoid the three slashes of Killing Immortals Strikes. He punched the tough and long halberd with his fist three times.

His powerful spiritual strength knocked Lyu Hao back.

“Clang!”

Lyu Hao flew backward, but at the same time, he threw out his double-bladed halberd, which immediately shot at Ying Zheng.

“Clang!”

Ying Zheng simply raised his hand and blocked the attack. Then he realized that Lyu Hao threw the weapon out only to distract him.

“Rain of Pear Flower Spear Strikes!”

Zhang Changge took the chance and moved fast. Ying Zheng had to take a few steps forward to defend himself.

The spear was moving so fast that he found it impossible to break away from it. Lyu Hao saw Ying Zheng hesitating and rushed back.

Ying Zheng could even feel the wind on his face brought out by the double-bladed halberd. The air around the weapon was whirling.

“Hmph!”

Ying Zheng groaned and pushed the spear aside with his spiritual strength. Then his golden palm pressed forward onto the halberd.

Zhao Changge had foreseen Ying Zheng’s move. He stepped back and turned over in the air. The golden palm narrowly missed him. Then he adjusted his landing spot and slashed with the spear.

“Whoosh!”

Ying Zheng immediately realized what was going on because he had prepared for this. He took back his golden hand and the golden light was divided into 10 more wisps of spiritual strength, which targeted Zhao Changge.

Zhao Changge took his spear back in no time and rotating it like a snake. Then he got closer to Ying Zheng, only to be faced with another golden ray.

“Raging Dragon Breaking Souls Strike!”

He transferred all his power into the spear and broken the golden ray, then the spear thrust at Ying Zheng like a silver dragon.

Lyu Hao imitated Zhao Changge and poured his rage into his weapon, slashing forward with the Heaven Devouring and Earth Shattering Blow.

“Boom!”

Three different powers met and exploded in the sky. They knew that they had hit their opponent, judging by the sound of the spears hitting the palm.

“Uh!”

“That’s not good.”

Lyu Hao and Zhao Changge didn’t look happy at all. They were frowning because they just failed to lift their weapons.

“Your spear weaved a firm net, and you moved swiftly and quickly, but your direct attack was lacking power and aggressiveness. You didn’t transfer enough Innate Prana Power and blood vigor into the weapons. Your experience and Taoist knowledge are surprisingly insufficient!

“Your halberd was stable and violent, and you’re aggressive enough, but you moved too slow. You reacted to the changes quickly enough, but just like him, your experience and Taoist knowledge are surprisingly insufficient!”

Ying Zheng’s deep voice came from the smoke rising from the explosion. Then a strong wind blew away all the dust and clouds.

“Gosh!”

Those onlookers couldn’t believe their eyes. Even Lyu Bu and Zhao Yun were astonished at how easily Ying Zheng had blocked the deadly attack of those two.

His left hand was pinching the tip of the spear, and his right hand was grabbing the halberd’s edge. He was doing it so simply, but he was actually using formidable power and Tao Law, forbidding the two weapons from moving an inch.

“How is that possible? They were cooperating so perfectly and calculated so precisely. Ying Zheng wasn’t supposed to have any time to react to their last strike. How come…”

Lyu Bu murmured to himself. If he were the one being attacked, he would’ve been severely injured. He wondered how Ying Zheng had blocked them without losing a single hair.

“The emperors are above all living creatures. They are second only to the immortals. They know many more things than we do, so I think they must have their own way to react to the attack,” Zhao Yun said slowly.

He knew how it worked, but he was still amazed. Ying Zheng’s reaction was faster than he could imagine.

Their last strike was faster than the blink of an eye, but Ying Zheng blocked it at the perfect angle.

“Clang!”

Ying Zheng let go of their weapons. He put his hands behind his back and said to the two, “The more powerful your enemy is, the faster you should bring out your best.

“That’s because you don’t know how powerful your opponent will be. If you had played your trump card in the beginning, I wouldn’t have been able to beat you so easily.

“At least you could’ve caught me off guard, but you gave up the chance. You’ll definitely be beaten up by a powerhouse like me, and you’ll lose faster after we’ve fully seen you through.

“Moreover, your spear skills are not fully developed, and you aren’t half as powerful as Xiang Yu. That was the main reason you lost.”

Ying Zheng’s analysis pointed out their weak spots simply and directly. They two felt ashamed and blushed.

“I exposed my Tao Law to you while we were fighting, you should go and reflect on it.” Ying Zheng informed them.

“Thank you for your instruction!”

Zhao Changge and Lyu Hao saluted Ying Zheng. Then they went back to their group and tried to reflect on the fight.

Ying Zheng then looked at Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe. “You two, come over here. Let me see how powerful the reincarnation of the immortal Buddha and ancient Taoist Corporeity can be.”

Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe looked at each other and walked toward Ying Zheng shoulder to shoulder.

They saluted him. “Please instruct us!”
