Chapter 335 - 329: Exposed
The Tiger Robe Ming King has been observing the entire battlefield from the shadows. As a Tier Three powerhouse, his insight far surpasses that of Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven.
"The Ghostly Realm beneath the yellow sky is already under his control."
"Yet it remains a dark Ghostly Realm that originally belonged to the World Honored."
"Is he borrowing the power of the Ghostly Realm? Is it a replacement, replacing the World Honored to become the master of this Ghostly Realm?" murmured the Tiger Robe Ming King.
With this thought, he shook his head wildly to deny such a terrifying notion: "Impossible. If he had the power to replace the World Honored, he could easily eliminate Guangmu Heaven and Zengzhang Heaven without dragging out the battle."
"Since it isn’t a replacement, then it must be..."
"Deception. He has deceived this Ghostly Realm into believing he is the World Honored, thereby using the power of this place.
Realizing the truth, the Tiger Robe Ming King breathed a sigh of relief.
Because if Zhang Jiao had the power to replace the World Honored, he would, without hesitation, turn and flee.
After witnessing the fate of the five Dharma Guardian Deities, he certainly didn’t want to die inexplicably.
But, since Zhang Jiao’s power is deceived, there’s no need to worry so much.
The Tiger Robe Ming King believes Zhang Jiao’s ability to borrow the Ghostly Realm’s power is definitely limited, as evidenced by the Yellow Turban Warriors he summoned.
The Yellow Turban Warriors are still engaged in a fierce battle with Guangmu Heaven’s Fire Dragon, with no victory in sight.
"Attack with full force, do not fear!"
"Force out his weaknesses. At the crucial moment, I will strike a fatal blow." The Tiger Robe Ming King continues to urge Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven through voice transmission.
This is the Tiger Robe Ming King’s cleverness. He doesn’t strike first but lets Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven take action.
If Zhang Jiao can be taken down, the credit for it would go to him.
If victory is out of reach, and danger is detected even slightly.
Then the Tiger Robe Ming King would decisively betray Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven and make a swift escape.
"Clang!"
Zengzhang Heaven swung his sword towards Zhang Jiao.
"Boom."
"Boom, boom, boom."
In the next moment, dozens of earthen yellow divine thunderbolts struck from the sky, seemingly aiming to strike Zengzhang Heaven dead.
Zengzhang Heaven dodged and weaved within the divine thunder like a fish, yet as he neared Zhang Jiao, the thunder grew more intense.
Finally, he could no longer withstand it; a divine thunderbolt struck Zengzhang Heaven’s chest, sending him flying.
"Second Brother!" Guangmu Heaven saw Zengzhang Heaven being blasted away and hurriedly flew to catch him.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
Struck by the earthen yellow divine thunder, Zengzhang Heaven laughed instead of growing angry.
"Third Brother, he truly is bluffing."
"This divine thunder is not as formidable as imagined."
"If you and I join forces, we can surely take him down!" Zengzhang Heaven got up excitedly.
The earthen yellow divine thunder that struck him was absorbed by the Heart-Protecting Mirror on his armor.
Aside from being sent flying, it didn’t harm him in the slightest.
This divine thunder allowed Zengzhang Heaven to fully grasp that Zhang Jiao currently exhibits the manner of Tier Three or even Tier Two.
But his actual strength is Tier Four, stronger than them but limitedly so.
Earlier, when the Tiger Robe Ming King said Zhang Jiao was bluffing, Zengzhang Heaven wasn’t fully convinced.
Now personally proven, he felt assured.
With this newfound confidence, Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven’s attacks grew fiercer.
Although Zhang Jiao held an advantage against their aggressive assault, he couldn’t defeat them.
The battle continued relentlessly for half an hour, during which the Tiger Robe Ming King stayed hidden.
He waited, only acting when it was certain Zhang Jiao had no backup plan.
During Zhang Jiao’s battle against Zengzhang Heaven and Guangmu Heaven, the armies under both sides were engaged in warfare.
But with the addition of fierce souls and ghosts from the Eighteen Layers of Great Hell, the battlefield was promptly overturned.
The Yaksha army under the Tiger Robe Ming King was no match for these threatening spirits.
Many of these fierce souls were personally sealed by the World Honored in his third life.
Though there weren’t any experts beyond Tier Four, it wasn’t uncommon to find those of Tier Five strength.
Lin Yuan and Liuyu Heaven were at this time mingling among the native army, sneaking towards the boundary between the Eighteen Layers of Minor Hell and the Seventeenth Layer.
"Lin Yuan, you leave first!"
"I might not win this battle!" Zhang Jiao’s voice echoed in Lin Yuan’s mind.
Carrying Liuyu Heaven, Lin Yuan prepared to slip away amongst the crowd without hesitation.
He must go, for it only matters if he survives; should he perish, all is in vain.
However, the Tiger Robe Ming King hidden in the shadows was keeping a vigilant eye on both Zhang Jiao and Lin Yuan.
Seeing Lin Yuan attempt to flee, he wouldn’t let him slip away.
The Tiger Robe Ming King decided to first deal with Lin Yuan, the instigator, before dealing with Zhang Jiao.
"Bang!"
The Tiger Robe Ming King turned into a blur and appeared in front of Lin Yuan, landing a powerful punch on Lin Yuan’s chest.
The next moment, Lin Yuan was sent flying, landing heavily a hundred meters away, and the impact even created a deep pit in the ground.
This demonstrated the formidable strength behind the Tiger Robe Ming King’s punch.
The Tiger Robe Ming King wondered if this punch could really finish the boy?
The so-called fated enemy of the World Honored seems no different now!
In the end, didn’t he still end up dying at my hands?
"Cough, cough!" At this moment, coughing sounds came from the pit, as hands clutched its edge.
Then, Lin Yuan crawled out of the pit.
Emerging, Lin Yuan looked at the Yaksha who struck him and realized this must be the hidden master.
"You didn’t die?" Tiger Robe Ming King was surprised.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Logically, the punch should have obliterated him, but Elder Bai’s Turtle Shell protected him from the blow.
While not dead, the situation was still problematic for him.
His true identity exposed, escape seemed impossible.
Though Elder Bai’s Turtle Shell could ensure his survival, it also trapped him in this spot!
As long as the Tiger Robe Ming King wishes, he could keep Lin Yuan imprisoned here for ten, a hundred, or even a thousand years.
"Who are you?" Lin Yuan stared at the unusual Yaksha and asked.
At this point, Tiger Robe Ming King realized the thing that blocked his lethal blow must be Lin Yuan’s last resort.
Therefore, he ceased hiding and transformed back to his original form, saying, "I am the Tiger Robe Ming King."
