Chapter 289 - Instructing One by One

In Juyongguan, three kilometers above the ground… The space here had been sealed up by Ying Zheng. No one could see what was going on inside the space.

Ying Zheng used the Great Wall to set an array, which created an illusion and protected the place from being destroyed by their fight. Ordinary people found the place as peaceful as usual.

“Boom! Boom!”

Sounds of explosions came down from heaven above. Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe had learned from the last fight. They were at their peak performance and played their trump card as soon as the fight started.

They were cooperating perfectly. They knew clearly what kind of Tao Law to use and how much they should use. They could predict the effect of their spell and the next move of their opponent.

Their strong point was that they could attack and defend at the same time. Ning Zhe activated his 30 Foot Golden Body Manifestation and stalled the opponent, while Leng Yueyan was helping him remotely with Taoist spells.

Leng Yueyan could attack the opponent and protect Ning Zhe at the same time. Even if Ying Zheng had the time to get rid of Ning Zhe and tried to attack Leng Yueyan as the weak point, she wouldn’t have to panic.

Leng Yueyan was born to coordinate with the Tao. Every move she made matched the will of Taoism. Her body emerged into the void and became rooted in Taoism there. That was part of her gift.

“Roar!”

Ying Zheng pinched powerfully and released his Dragon Qi. He was going after Leng Yueyan, but Leng Yueyan was protecting herself with the will of Taoism. She used the Six Lightning Palm to block Qin Shihuang’s strike.

Ning Zhe approached Ying Zheng from behind. The Infinite Fire sparkled in his left palm and evaporated the clouds nearby. His right hand was holding the Killing Devils Pestle.

He popped out and forced Ying Zheng to block the pestle with both hands. Then Ning Zhe’s glaring palm pressed heavily to stop Ying Zheng from attacking Leng Yueyan.

Leng Yueyan then had the time to cast spells. The talismanic words of the Thunder Emperor Incantation emerged on her arm, and the talisman of the Five Thunder Incantation emerged on her right arm. She was radiating dazzling light.

“Thunder Emperor Incantation! Five Thunder Incantation!”

She was using two powerful skills at the same time. The clouds around her immediately turned grey. The thunder god rushed out, followed by his army. Then the lightning came out of her fair hands.

“Imperial Seal of Qin!”

Ying Zheng roared and knocked Ning Zhe away. Then his hand turned into a huge seal, crushing at the thunder god and his army.

“Boom!”

The seal contained infinite Imperatorial Power, which suppressed the effect of Leng Yueyan’s skills, and then it was smashed down onto Leng Yueyan.

“Bam!”

Before she was going to be flattened by the seal, Leng Yueyan pulled out her holy sword. She transferred all her power into the sword and waved it out.

The seal was instantly shattered into powder. Leng Yueyan then flipped her hand over and pressed forward with her Heavenly Girl Seal. Then she cast some more powerful spells.

“Haha!”

Ying Zheng chuckled. He found the couple very interesting. He blocked Ning Zhe’s Udumbara Buddha’s Finger and slid aside to avoid Leng Yueyan’s Heavenly Girl Seal.

A huge hand grabbed at Leng Yueyan, trying to break away from the seal.

“Whoo!”

Leng Yueyan had prepared for this. The figure that was grabbed by the huge hand was her duplicate. Her real body was now thousands of meters above in the clouds.

“Buzz!”

Golden light came back to Ying Zheng’s hand. He was manipulating the big hand and tried to have it grab Leng Yueyan.

“Om!”

Ning Zhe chanted the Buddhist mantra, which was often used to attack the opponents’ primordial spirit. Ying Zheng was influenced and stopped attacking.

But after all, Ying Zheng was the greatest emperor of all time. In the blink of an eye, he resisted the Buddhist mantra and fought back.

“Universal Incantation of the Heavenly Girl!”

Leng Yueyan spread her arms and attracted the Taoism to give herself power. The tremendous illusion of the Heavenly Girl rose up, blocking heaven and the sun.

The Heavenly Girl’s clothes were fluttering in the wind. When she looked down at the tough golden palm, she frowned and pulled out her sword. Then she slashed down.

“Kaboom!”

The big golden hand was powerful, and it clashed with the shadow of the Heavenly Girl’s Illusion. Both of them exploded, but the golden hand didn’t vanish because Ying Zheng was more powerful.

The golden hand turned into thousands of arrows shooting at Leng Yueyan. The will of Taoism and Tao principles had mixed inside Leng Yueyan, so she was giving out green lights. Mysterious talismanic words were shining in her eyes.

The illusion looked furious as it glared forward. The fury was also manipulated by Leng Yueyan. She had fully mastered the approach to use it freely.

This time, her attack was much more powerful because it targeted the opponent’s primordial spirit. With Ning Zhe distracting Ying Zheng, this attack of Leng Yueyan imposed an effect directly on Ying Zheng’s soul.

This Anger of the Heavenly Girl dispelled the golden light and pushed forward with irresistible force. Ying Zheng was already weak because he was just the residual soul of the real person, so now the two different types of primordial spirit attacks were obviously too much for him to resist.

“Growl!”

However, it seemed that Ying Zheng knew more about primordial spirit attack skills than they did. He resisted their attacks easily. Then he kept fighting back by attacking the primordial spirits of them both.

Ning Zhe protected the center of his back with the Buddha light and Taoist principle. Leng Yueyan hid in the Taoism in the void.

“Sky Gripping!”

As Ying Zheng raised his hand and clenched it, a strong power spread out. The power changed the Taoism in this area. Ying Zheng grabbed the Taoism in the place with one hand.

Ning Zhe and Leng Yueyan knew this wasn’t good for them. Their Taoist laws and principles were out of control now. Those powers didn’t know how to resist Ying Zheng. All they could do was submit themselves Ying Zheng’s power.

“Ahh!”

“Ugh!”

The result was obvious. Leng Yueyan had been pulled out of Taoism, and Ning Zhe’s Taoist laws were all suppressed. The primordial spirit of the two had been heavily struck by Ying Zheng. They were all exhausted and fell down to the earth.

Qin Shihuang’s golden hand illusion reached out to carry them, but before he could touch them, his eyes opened widely out of surprise. He swept out with his other hand and destroyed the illusion of 3,000 Buddhist worlds before him.

Then he stepped forward and shined dazzling golden lights that blocked Leng Yueyan’s Bronze Tripod. Then he punched up into higher heaven, right on the real body of Leng Yueyan, who was casting spells.

Ning Zhe was floating next to her and was also punched. They had released two duplicates with perfect timing, but the duplicates failed to fool Ying Zheng. They puked up blood after they were punched.

“We yield.”

Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe saluted Ying Zheng and went away.

“Hahaha…”

Ying Zheng laughed out loud and said, “You’re doing fine. Your cooperation is as close as the two before you. You are better at calculating than them, and you know how to observe your opponent.

“Your guess was mostly right, and I was almost fooled by you. Your understanding of Taoism and your comprehensive skills are all excellent. It’s just the nun… you rely too much on your Taoist corporeity.

“You can take advantage of it, but you can’t count on it to make you invincible, because the only thing that can make you invincible is your real power.

“An opponent like me can suppress the Taoism in this place. If that’s your only way to win, then you’ll definitely lose your biggest advantage.”

Leng Yueyan nodded and said, “Thank you. I’ll try to communicate with the Taoism from other dimensions in the future.”

Ying Zheng smiled and looked at Ning Zhe, saying, “As for you… you’re borrowing the Buddhist and Taoist knowledge from your last life, and you are trying to avoid using the power from your last life. You’re sticking to the power from this life.

“That’s a good idea, but you’re doing it in the wrong way. I don’t know how you can correct those mistakes, but I have to remind you that Taoism nowadays is quite different from how it was in your last life.

“They work in the same way but their Tao principles are different. One stresses completeness and the other stresses incompleteness. You’ve got a long way to go before you succeed. Remember, there’s no absolute in this world, and be cautious about everything you’re going to do.”

Ying Zheng had seen how Ning Zhe was different from other people. Ning Zhe nodded and thanked him. “I appreciate your instruction, and I’ll always bear it in mind.”

“You should do it as soon as you can.”

Ying Zheng frowned. Then he pointed his finger at Yu Wude and Shangguan Yiyi, saying, “Fatty, you can challenge me with that girl. I haven’t seen the inheritance of Gui Guzi in almost a thousand years.”

Yu Wude patted Shangguan Yiyi’s thin shoulder and smiled at her. Then he said, “Honey, it’s our turn.”

“Stop calling me that, or I’ll smack you!” Shangguan Yiyi warned and stomped, pushing Yu Wude’s big hand aside.

Yu Wude laughed again and pushed her forward. He tried to talk her into it. “Honey! Just come with me!”

Shangguan Yiyi snorted and waved her little fist at him. Then she urged Yu Wude to go faster.

They went forward toward Ying Zheng and summoned their weapons to fight with him.

“Vertical!”

Yu Wude yelled out. His Formation Breaking Sword slashed and then he cut horizontally.

Ying Zheng flashed a smile and raised his hand. Then he blocked Yu Wude’s two moves and faced the front.

“Array accomplished!”

In the first array set by Shangguan Yiyi, there was Yu Wude’s array lines and the unique array lines from the Palace of a Hundred Flowers.

Numerous flowers emerged and enclosed Yin Zheng. Next to those flowers, there was a Killing Array, which made the whole place a beautiful trap.
