Chapter 318: Chapter 221: Dongfeng Express, Mission Must Reach!_2
“What incredible speed!”
In the clouds, Yue Niang couldn’t help but exclaim as she watched the scene unfold.
Xu Yang asked, “Yue Niang, if you were to face Minister Wang in a fight, who would have the upper hand?”
Yue Niang pondered for a moment, replying, “I am a Ghost Immortal, while he is a Land Immortal. We are at similar stages, but I have been in the Ghost Immortal Realm for 168 years, making me a mid-level Ghost Immortal, while he has only just entered the realm of the Land Immortal… However, if we were to engage in a life-and-death battle, I would only have a 10% chance of winning.”
Xu Yang was astonished.
Wasn’t it said that the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to engage in cross-realm battles?
Xu Yang knew that Minister Wang was formidable; after all, his achievement in this era was not simple. But Yue Niang’s “10%” chance of victory seemed to be an exaggeration, right?
Yue Niang laughed, “Even that 10% chance of victory might be a little too optimistic… Nowadays, there hasn’t been a resurgence of spiritual aura in the human world, yet he has managed to achieve the realm of the Land Immortal in this era. His martial talent is simply unimaginable… Additionally, he is protected by the national fortune of Da Xia. Ordinary Yin spirits and malevolent beings cannot harm him… I’m afraid that even if the immortals and deities from the heavens descended to the mortal realm, they might not dare to kill him!”
National Fortune…
This intangible concept was a real existence!
Take King Zhou, for example.
He was protected by the destiny of the human race, so even the immortals and deities could not harm him. Only by sending Daji to wreak havoc in the Shang Dynasty could they destroy its national fortune.
Xu Yang looked around.
By comparing the memories retrieved from the Asura Sect’s assassin “Soul Searching”, he said, “The Asura Sect’s headquarters should be nearby. Minister Wang would not have struck randomly. Those two men might be members of the Asura Sect… Let’s go down!”
A man and a spirit descended.
The speedboat was too small, and Xu Yang had no choice but to stand in the sea, tossing the two elders onto the vessel.
Although his mastery of the “water element path” was not comparable to Wulei Rules, it wasn’t bad, either. After entering the rule of the water element and “borrowing” a few tricks from Long Xiaoxue, he could now tread on the surface of the water as if walking on flat ground.
“Minister Wang, are they from the Asura Sect?”
Xu Yang glanced at the unconscious elders on the speedboat. With his current cultivation, he could naturally sense their auras. One of them had a vigorous qi and blood flow, far surpassing Xu Yang’s own, indicating that he was a master in the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm.
The other had a cold and dark aura, suggesting that he practiced witchcraft.
Witchcraft was unique and did not have a detailed ranking system. Generally, powerful practitioners of witchcraft were called “Great Witches,” and the strength of a “Great Witch” depended on the witchcraft they practiced.
“These two are the Asura Sect’s left and right protectors.”
Surprisingly, Wang Hou recognized the two men and introduced them: “They are brothers. The hunchback is the elder brother, named Li Laoda, and the younger brother is called Li Laoer. They are originally from Qingdao City in Shandong Province.”
“The brothers had some luck: at the beginning of the spiritual aura resurgence, they stumbled upon two inheritances. The younger brother practiced martial arts, while the elder brother practiced witchcraft… Initially, they had good fortune, but their hearts turned wicked. After achieving some success in their cultivation, they started engaging in murder and arson.”
“Eventually, their own father reported them, and the brothers fled to the sea, joining the Asura Sect.”
Upon closer inspection, it seemed normal, as the Spirits Management Bureau maintained an independent intelligence system, with “agents” placed within various powers and countries around the world.
Wang Hou had long been planning to take action against the Asura Sect, even going as far as planting spies in the organization. Therefore, it was only natural that he would have some knowledge about the sect.
On the speedboat,
Li Laoda and Li Laoer gradually regained consciousness.
The first thing they saw when they opened their eyes was Wang Hou, and their faces changed dramatically.
Wang Hou spoke indifferently, “Tell me, where were you two headed?”
Li Laoer inhaled deeply, his tone icy, “Hmph, you can just kill me… ”
“Shut up!”
Before he could finish, Li Laoda scolded him and slowly sat up on the speedboat. Looking at Wang Hou, he said, “Since Minister Wang could locate us, he must have already discovered the headquarters of my Asura Sect. Today, does Minister Wang intend to deal with the Asura Sect?”
“Brother, why bother wasting words with him?”
Li Laoer shouted, “It’s just death! In eighteen years, we’ll be heroes again!”
On the side, Xu Yang casually said, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you be heroes in the next life… I’ll make sure you can’t even become ghosts in this life!”
“Xu Yang!”
The two brothers looked Xin Yang’s way and saw who it was, their eyes shifting.
After all, their mission this time…
Was to deal with Xu Yang.
They just didn’t expect that they would run into Xu Yang shortly after leaving their headquarters.
Li Laoda, being a witchcraft master, naturally knew about the tactics of the Daoist factions. He immediatelysaid, “Minister Wang, to be honest, our mission was to deal with Xu Yang under the command of the Asura Sect’s leader… However, we didn’t plan to actually kill Xu Yang, but rather use this as a ploy to escape the Asura Sect and return to Da Xia. In consideration of us all being from Da Xia, could you give us brothers a chance?”
“We have been in the Asura Sect for more than thirty years and know the sect inside out… The sect leader can control the geomantic omen of the Asura Sect’s headquarters. Without us leading the way, even if you, Minister Wang, have achieved the realm of the Land Immortal, you may not be able to break in!”
Li Laoda went straight to negotiation.
Xu Yang was immediately enraged by Li Laoda’s words.
Damn it!
These two scoundrels were actually planning to go to Wu City to kill me?
He looked at Wang Hou.
