With that sharp command, the greedy divine general descending from the sky had his alluring glyphs on his forehead ignite, radiating brilliant bloodlight and casting a spotlight-like glow over all present. Alluring! Yin Yao, Xiao Yuan, and Jiang Ju were momentarily stunned, their gazes now vacant. Only Huang Taiqi, with his profound resilience, automatically resisted the shallower layer of allure, moving unhurriedly to step across and position himself in front of the earth coffin, raising his hand to grasp the edge of the blood-blade. "Boom!" The sharp blade struck Huang Taiqi's palm, yet instead of the sound of flesh being severed, it echoed like the blade hitting the mound of sand. A pool of luminous yellow light, resembling thick mud, formed in his palm. "Relax," he said, firmly gripping the greedy divine general's blade, his expression serious yet his tone steady. "If we're going to fight, let's at least wait until I reach the manor." As he spoke, he retrieved a jade latticework dome from his inventory and gently placed it over the earth coffin. A clear glow flashed, and a bell-shaped crystal dome settled over the coffin, its surface reflecting a vibrant spectrum of colors under the sunlight. This item provided defense equivalent to a Level 6 Mountain God, slightly inferior to him, yet perfectly suited for the current situation. "Boom!" A flash of fire appeared in the distance, and Jiang Ju burst into a roaring flame, like a projectile striking the ground, leaving a scorched trail behind. Jiang Ju had been caught off guard earlier and had fallen under the spell; now, as he activated his "Furious One" skill, which automatically abandoned reason and embraced rage, the fire demon in this state would be immune to basic mental control techniques. At the same time, Huang Taiji clutched the blade firmly, holding it tightly. The Greedy General either had to relinquish his weapon or absorb Jiang Ju's powerful surge. "Hmph!" With a powerful contraction of his muscles, the Greedy General braced his armor. Behind his shoulder blades, four arms shimmered with divine light emerged, their sinewy muscles intertwined, radiating strength. The two arms on the left suddenly clenched into fists, powerfully striking the roaring "cannon" with a solid impact. A tremendous roar erupted—the missile exploded, its flames and gusts splashing out in waves, carving one shallow crater after another. The ground collapsed; the surface beneath Jiang Ju melted under the intense heat, transforming into molten lava. Cai Long Shen's water-bodied form instantly shattered. "Get out!" The greedy deity flung out her ponytail, muscles swelling again, his aura surging like that of a magical god, his fists shaking Jiang Ju back. The other three fists didn't idle—crashing in rapid succession, delivering a series of swift combinations in a single second, fast as fleeting shadows. The fabric of Huang Tai Ji's back tore open, flung out like a kite with its string severed. His body suddenly sank, interrupted in his retreating momentum by the pull of the earth's gravity. Upon landing, his feet continued sliding along the ground, gliding several meters due to inertia. "Secure the time for me! Begin to refine this ground!" Huang Tai Ji raised his foot and planted it firmly. A massive weight, ton upon ton, pressed down upon the greedy deity's shoulders. The Mountain God's core ability is simply "Mountain God." While within his domain, he can directly oppose evil professions of equal strength. The drawback is that the skill takes a long time to activate—during the process of refining the domain, he must remain still, or else all his efforts will be wasted. Feeling the pressure of gravitational force, the Greedy God settled his shoulders, as though bearing a colossal tripod weighing ten thousand catties. Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Ju transformed into a surge of blazing flame and charged in. Ducking beneath the Greedy God's sweeping long blade, he straightened up, then delivered a powerful hook punch to the enemy's abdomen. The flames erupted in a cascade. The Greedy God's abdomen burned extensively, and as he bent his knees to meet the enemy's charge, Jiang Ju leapt like a grasshopper, springing away with a quick motion, then transformed into a flowing flame to circle around the back of the God, landing a solid punch on his lower back. "Thump, thump, thump..." Like a nimble explosive puncher, Jiang Ju repeatedly evaded the long blade strikes, executed six-armed sweeping attacks, and left a series of blackened wounds across the Sixth-Level Mist To Princess Yin Yao and Xiao Yuan, it appeared that a stream of flame wrapped around the sluggish, greedy divine general, occasionally stepping out of the Z-line and then the V-line, advancing, turning, and leaping with complete disregard for physical inertia—demonstrating breathtaking agility. The general, renowned for his close-combat prowess and possessing six arms, was completely outmaneuvered and unable to mount any effective resistance. This was the fire demon at the Saint's stage, embodying near-undefeatable agility. A fire demon that had abandoned its skills, its mind, and everything else. "Boom, boom, boom…" The flame continuously exploded, accumulating blackened areas on the sturdy general's body, with rising heat gradually seeping into his organs. Throughout this, the general utilized two items: a soil monster's professional gem and a wood spirit's vine armor. The former slowed his movements, worsening the situation, and was further weakened by the fire spirit's counter-effect, while the vine armor proved insufficient against the fire demon's "Furious One" state. With both defensive items damaged, the Greedy God's retaliatory speed slowed, his strength weakened. Lady Yin Yao seized the opportunity and quickly produced the Yin Jade doll from her sleeve, awakening the vengeful spirit within. "Hi-hi, let's play a game!" A shadow of a little girl appeared, instinctively gliding along the ground toward the Greedy God. Halfway through, sensing the peak of Sixth Rank energy, she suddenly stopped, cried out, "Ah!" and began running back while weeping: "Your Grace, I am still young and inexperienced. I cannot bear this burden. Please, give me a chance to survive." Lady Yin Yao's spiritual energy fluctuated: "As long as your body remains intact, your soul will not perish. Hurry—otherwise, your true form will be destroyed." She raised the lifelike black jade doll. "For the sake of the Lady, even death would be a blessing," the Yin Jade doll cried out, though her words were sincere. Her shadow glided along the ground, gently approaching the Greedy God, and timidly wrapped itself around his heel. At the same time, Princess Yin Yao transformed into starlight and faded away, materializing behind the greedy general. She raised her hand swiftly and drew a sealing spirit scroll. Without any remote tools to assist, drawing a scroll from nothing was a solid alternative. Though the sealing spirit scroll posed no direct threat to the greedy general, his condition had deteriorated, and the cumulative effect of the weak seals compounded his disadvantage, adding to his difficulties. The strong control abilities of the Yin Yu doll worked on the same principle. One after another, streaks of starlight ignited. Princess Yin Yao would appear on the left, then suddenly on the right, each time she executed a star-dash, drawing a sealing spirit scroll and imprinting it on the general’s forehead, chest, waist, and limbs. With each instance, she steadily weakened his spiritual essence. Observing this, the Yin Yu doll cried out loudly, bolstering its own courage, and climbed up from her heels to her back. Under the accumulation of multiple buffs, the greedy general’s body stiffened, becoming momentarily motionless. "Hum!" The thin wings behind the small round figure trembled, weaving left and right through the cascading streams of flame, and swiftly advancing toward the greedy general. In a flash, she had already reached behind the greedy divine general, her full, sensuous abdomen arching as her sleek, black, sharp tail needle pierced the general's nape with force. Suddenly, Xiao Yuan let out a heart-wrenching cry—her body, like glass, began to shatter, blood seeping through the cracks in her flesh. She was under a curse! The toxic needle was being drawn from her body, making her the vessel of the curse. That explained why the serpent women hadn't come out—they had been chanting incantations, preparing the ritual for a body-based curse. Such a curse, relying on the body's flesh as a medium, was particularly difficult. As Xiao Yuan's body collapsed, her soul too was unraveling, her life rapidly fading. At that moment, the greedy divine general suddenly spun and swung her blood-red blade. "Ah—!" A sharp wind howled at her ears, and with her consciousness growing hazy, she felt her body spin and whirl, seeing the scorched earth and the blue sky. This was the sensation of being beheaded, she thought silently. Suddenly, she saw the flying heads, the lifeless bodies—those were not hers, but Lady Yin Yao. Thud! Xiao Yuan stumbled heavily, her flesh and blood scattering in great patches. She strained to look up, and there, Lady Yin Yao had pushed her aside, using her own body to absorb the enemy's blade. "Boom!" Jiang Ju drove the greedy divine general back with a punch, steadied Lady Yin Yao's body, and sent it rolling toward the distance, while gently flicking his foot. Lady Yin Yao's head rolled "gurgle-gurgle" to rest beside Xiao Yuan. On the other side, the greedy divine general raised his long sword and sucked in a deep breath—his crimson blade instantly dimmed. His body began to sprout fresh flesh, and carbonized, lifeless tissue peeled away. Bloodthirsty, furious! For a Master of the Mist at the Saint stage, blood reserves are the most fundamental strategic resource, and most of the Mist's weapons possess blood-attracting or blood-storing capabilities. "The warm-up round is over!" the greedy divine general rotated his neck, bones cracking. "The real battle has just begun." As soon as the words were spoken, a giant python swiftly slithered up the gentle slope toward the Shenjian Pavilion, trailed by a sturdy man adorned with intricate tattoos and the graceful, alluring Iruan beauty.
