To say that this monster is indeed a monster, it is indeed extremely cunning. Even Zhang Xiaoman was almost deceived by it.
This guy decisively chose to give up even though he knew he was outmatched. While pretending that he had lost his mind due to his falling realm, he used the secret blood escape method while Zhang Xiaoman was attacking. In the end, he also released his control over the corpse puppets, creating a It gives the illusion that the controller is dead and the puppets are rioting.
It is even said that this guy also used the dark trick, knowing that he would be discovered soon if he ran, and then he would be caught up, so he simply went the opposite way and hid under everyone's nose.
After Zhang Xiaoman learned about the opponent's series of plans, he had to sigh that this cunning was indeed innate. It was indeed beyond his expectation that Yaoyao could achieve this level in such a short period of time.
But there is a saying that goes well, any conspiracy and tricks are in vain in the face of absolute strength. The only blame is that the gap between the two sides is too big. The disparity between the four realms makes all the plans of the Yao Yao come to naught. Became empty.
Zhang Xiaoman raised his finger, and a large hole opened on the ground of the City Lord's Mansion, and an embarrassed figure covered in blood was pulled out.
"Exalted Immortal, spare your life! Exalted Immortal, spare your life! I know I was wrong! I am willing to submit to the Immortal and help him guard the mountain gate from now on. Only Tianyuan Sect will obey! Never betray!"
The beast was lifted up into the sky, its two short claws waving constantly, begging for mercy in panic.
"You are very good and have a lot of clever ideas. Unfortunately, your vision is too narrow and your structure is too small. You think you have powerful power, so you start to do whatever you want..."
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head.
Then, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
"The most important thing is that you slaughtered millions of lives of my human race. You will die today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without giving the monster any chance to speak again, a huge amount of spiritual power swept towards it, tearing its body apart and turning it into powder.
Zhang Xiaoman completely crushed the monster to ashes and destroyed both body and soul, ensuring that this time it was truly dead.
As the other mastermind of this coup, Jing Heng naturally cannot escape the fate of being sanctioned.
Li Qiang was the first to pull him out of his hiding place, cut off his hands and feet with a few blasts of sword energy, and brought him to the elders of the division to wait for punishment.
Zhang Xiaoman naturally knew about the dispute between him and the other party, so he left it to him to deal with it on his own.
Anyway, this Jing Heng's hands were stained with blood. Although it was a struggle for political power, the Tianyuan Sect should not have interfered, but he had colluded with the demon clan and killed millions of people along the way. It was already a death that would not be regretted.
"Master, all the monsters in the city have been eliminated. There are still some places where the evil spirits are concentrated that need to be cleaned up. I have asked the nearby residents to move away temporarily. We will go back after we have cleared away the evil spirits there..."
Yan Jiantong reported on the current situation in Xianyin City. Zhang Xiaoman nodded after hearing this and said:
"Very good, I'll leave the rest of the work here to you. Let the sect send a few more disciples over. There are many other cities that need to be cleaned up along the way. The evil spirits there will produce evil spirits if left for a long time. There is no room for delay.”
Yan Jiantong took the order and left.
Zhang Xiaoman looked up at the sky again.
In the sky, dark clouds gradually gathered, and thunder rolled among them, seeming to be brewing a force that would destroy the world.
"How could there be another catastrophe! Is it possible that the yellow-haired monster is not dead yet!?"
Pei Laoliu ran over in a hurry.
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and said:
"Sixth Master, it has made you suspicious."
Pei Laoliu sighed:
"Isn't it? This thing didn't die last time in Hanyue City. I originally thought it would find a deep mountain and old forest to hide and practice, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big trouble. It's also my fault. If I were there Then if you spend more energy looking for it, maybe it won’t end up like this..."
Zhang Xiaoman saw him blaming himself and comforted him:
"Sixth Master, this is not your fault. That demon is very cunning and wants to hide from you. It is impossible to find it so easily in this vast world."
"But don't worry, this time it is really dead, with its soul completely destroyed."
Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous again and asked:
"Xiao Man, now that the yellow-haired monster is dead, what's going on with this calamity cloud in the sky? Who is it coming for? And I feel... the power of this calamity cloud seems to be more terrifying than before... Is it possible, Are there other great demons around here...?"
Zhang Xiaoman pointed at himself and said with a smile:
"Sixth Master, please don't guess, this calamity cloud is coming for me."
"Coming for you!?"
Pei Laoliu said in surprise:
"Aren't you an immortal? How come this calamity cloud is coming towards you? Will the immortal continue to overcome calamities?"
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and said:
"Of course, immortals also have to overcome tribulations. The tribulations that immortals go through are called immortal tribulations. But strictly speaking, I am not an immortal. I just have the strength of an immortal, and I have the same relationship with the 'immortal' in the traditional sense of this world. There’s a big difference.”
"You also know, Mr. Liu, that what we practice is the method of cultivation. This immortal way does not apply to us. Therefore, after we reach the highest level of cultivation, which is equivalent to the Mahayana period of immortal cultivators, there is no way to ascend."
"We still need to open up the path of cultivation ourselves..."
"My current strength has probably exceeded that of the Mahayana stage, which is the realm of immortals after ascension. That's why Niyang said that I have become an immortal, but it is not an 'immortal' in the true sense."
Zhang Xiaoman explained, and Mr. Liu showed a surprised expression.
"Then what's going on with your heavenly tribulation? Don't you want to survive the tribulation?"
Zhang Xiaoman spread his hands.
"have no idea."
"have no idea!?"
Liu Ye's voice suddenly rose an octave.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him helplessly and motioned for him to calm down.
"I'm also wondering why the Heavenly Tribulation is coming to me at this time. Is it because I eliminated the Heavenly Tribulation of the monster just now? It shouldn't be. I have tested this ability in other places before. However, there are no such side effects, and..."
As he spoke, he looked up at the increasingly thick tribulation clouds in the sky, and found that there were faint red lightnings mixed in. He suddenly said with a solemn expression:
"Moreover, this does not seem to be an ordinary calamity cloud, but an immortal calamity that only immortals need to experience...could it be said..."
"Did you say something? Oh! Say it quickly, you're going to make me anxious to death!"
Pei Laoliu became anxious because of his half-said behavior.
Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while and said:
"I estimate that this is the Loose Immortal Tribulation that only Loose Immortals have. Could it be that this world regards me as a Loose Immortal? It's interesting..."
"That's so funny!"
Pei Laoliu was so anxious that he was running around in circles.
"This is an immortal tribulation, an immortal tribulation! Xiaoman, are you sure? Do you want to prepare a formation or something? If you don't get it right, something will happen!"
Seeing Mr. Liu anxiously running around like ants on a hot pot, Zhang Xiaoman looked helpless, but at the same time, some warmth rose in his heart.
But before he could speak, a small cyan phantom suddenly appeared next to him, which turned out to be a miniature version of Ni Yang.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"Something happened? What happened?"
Ni Yang rubbed his eyes, looking like he had just woken up.
It looked up at the sky, and immediately its eyes widened and said in surprise:
"Red lightning? Immortal tribulation? How could there be an immortal tribulation here? Have we already returned to the fairy world?"
It quickly looked left and right, and then said:
"No, no, it's still in the human world, eh? Although the Immortal Tribulation has the power of the Tribulation Cloud, it doesn't have the aura of the Immortal Spirit. This is the Heavenly Punishment Tribulation! Could it be... that it's coming for you?"
Zhang Xiaoman saw it looking at him and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
The so-called Heavenly Punishment Tribulation is the real Heavenly Punishment. There is no fairy spirit in it, and there is no benefit at all even if the Heavenly Punishment Tribulation is passed.
This kind of heavenly punishment tribulation is also the loose immortal tribulation mentioned by Master Liu just now. It is the immortal tribulation specially used by heaven for the loose immortals in the lower realm.
Because loose immortals are different from real immortals, they are all people who were saved by using special secret methods after they failed to overcome the tribulation period. To put it bluntly, they are undead people who have escaped the eyes of heaven and survived in the world.
For this kind of people, heaven does not allow their existence, so this kind of punishment is created.
Generally speaking, the Heavenly Punishment Tribulation occurs once every thousand years, and each time it is more powerful than the previous one, and the improvement rate each time is at least twice that of the previous one.
Therefore, the criterion for judging a loose immortal in the spiritual world is the number of calamities he has experienced. The more calamities a loose immortal has experienced, the stronger his cultivation will naturally be.
Some powerful loose immortals are no less powerful than the immortals in the immortal world.
The two founders of Tianyuan Sect, Tianyuan and Tianfeng, were two Seven Tribulations Loose Immortals. Their strength was comparable to that of Luo Tianshangxian, and they were extremely tyrannical.
But even these two immortal king-like figures still fell into the heavenly punishment tribulation one after another. This shows that in this world, the way of heaven is the existence that truly has the power to dominate.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to have already begun to undergo the first heavenly punishment tribulation just now. Ordinary loose immortals only encounter it once in a thousand years. I didn't expect you to come here so soon."
Niyang shook his head and said:
"But you have been in other worlds before, and it has only been two days since you came back to the Ancient Divine Continent. If you put it this way, it is not unusual for the punishment and tribulation to come that day. Tsk tsk, no matter what you say , when you survive this tribulation, you will be considered to be a first-level loose immortal or above, and you can already compete with the lowest level of heavenly immortal, not bad, not bad."
Ni Yang praised from the bottom of his heart.
It has been practicing so far, not counting the time when it entered samadhi. It only counts the years of practicing in the immortal world. It has been tens of thousands of years. This is the first time I have seen someone who practices so fast.
Therefore, in Ni Yang's eyes, Zhang Xiaoman is a unique genius, so in many cases, Ni Yang is willing to accept him.
Otherwise, with Ni Yang's character, how could one leader, Yu Jue, get close to him, let alone truly control him.
In the field, compared to Zhang Xiaoman and Ni Yang's calmness, Pei Laoliu seemed very surprised.
This guy Niyang should obviously stay in Biling Lake, so why would he suddenly appear in Xianyin City thousands of miles away?
"Old Greedy Dragon, why are you here? Aren't you unable to get out of the lake? By the way, you can come here. Is there any way you can help me? This calamity is coming so fiercely that I can't think of a way to deal with it!"
Ni Yang glanced at him and said with disdain:
"It's rare to see a lot of strange things, Xiao Liuzi, learn from your master and read more classics. I am a phantom of the soul. It's just an illusion. It's fake! How can I help him overcome his calamity?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the dragon's mouth again and continued:
"Besides, Zhang Xiaoman, that brat, is making rapid progress now. With his strength, this level of divine punishment won't be able to do anything to him, so don't worry."
"Yeah?"
Pei Laoliu looked suspicious when he saw the other party's sworn look. Soon after seeing Zhang Xiaoman, he nodded to himself with confidence, and then he felt relieved.
"Since you all say it's okay, I won't bother you anymore, old man."
He said and walked slowly to the side with his hands behind his back, but although he said that he would not bother himself, his eyes kept secretly looking here, obviously paying attention to the changes in the situation.
While the few people were talking, the calamity clouds in the sky had also completed condensation, and a thick red lightning struck down from the head.
Zhang Xiaoman raised his palm, and his majestic spiritual power blocked the lightning bolt, forcing it to fade in the air.
"It turns out that this is the Heavenly Punishment Tribulation, and its power is indeed much stronger than the ordinary Heavenly Punishment Tribulation..."
Niyang laughed at the side and said:
"Boy, although your current strength has already surpassed that of an ordinary first-level loose immortal, don't be careless. This is an immortal calamity after all. It's best to make some preparations."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded and said:
"Yes, I already know the specific intensity of this day's punishment tribulation. There is really no need to waste time on it. The next tribulation will be over."
A series of question marks popped up on the green dragon's head when he heard this. He understood every word the other person said, but when combined together, he was a little confused.
"Boy, what did you just say? What's wrong with you?"
After being stunned for a moment, Ni Yang came to his senses immediately and asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
He even thought that he just had an ear problem and heard wrongly.
After all, Zhang Xiaoman's expression when he said those words just now looked extremely calm and taken for granted, as if this immortal calamity belonged to his family, and if he couldn't save it, he wouldn't save it.
But Mr. Liu on the side pricked up his ears, as if he suddenly thought of something. He stopped showing off and simply turned around and stared at Zhang Xiaoman's empty hands.
Zhang Xiaoman did not keep this person waiting for a long time, and simply summoned the Purple Sky Sword.
With a purple thunderbolt lighting up, the Purple Sky Divine Sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
