416 Deng Jiugong Battles Western Qi again
Western Qi’s rebellion had excited the various generals of Great Shang.

When the news of Zhang Guifang’s defeat spread, all the military commanders requested to fight.

However, since Di Xin had sent Deng Jiugong, the others had no choice but to give in.

…

When Deng Jiugong heard that there was a decree, he hurriedly brought the generals to burn incense and open it.

“The Human Emperor’s conquest was originally to disobey and save the people. The great general specializes in controlling the outside world and is in charge of the heavens’ salvation.

“Today, Ji Chang is immoral and has recruited death to rebel. He made enemies by resisting the army, humiliated the emperor’s army, and damaged the country’s prestige.

“This time, we must capture the main culprit and present the prisoners to uphold the country’s code. Do not let me down.”

After Deng Jiugong finished reading, he turned to look at the messenger to see if the emperor had given any verbal instructions.

The messenger said directly, “General Deng, please dispatch the army immediately. The emperor is very dissatisfied with the chaos in Western Qi.”

Deng Jiugong nodded and hurriedly called out the names of the generals to sacrifice to the flag. The army would set off the next day. Suddenly, a subordinate came to report.

“A short man is coming with a letter.”

Deng Jiugong ordered his subordinates to lead them into the general’s residence.

Seeing that the person was only four feet long, he bowed in front of the waterdrop roof and handed over the letter.

Deng Jiugong opened the letter and knew that it was Shen Gongbao’s recommendation. The official was Tu Xingsun.

When Deng Jiugong saw that Tu Xingsun’s looks were really not good, and he looked like he had no ability, he originally didn’t want to take him in as a subordinate.

However, Shen Gongbao had just become the State Preceptor, so Deng Jiugong was afraid that the State Preceptor would take offense.

After thinking for a long time, he finally gave Tu Xingsun the job of escorting the grain.

After that, Deng Jiugong ordered Tu Xingsun to be the grain supervisor of the five armies, and Firmament Supreme to be the official seal.

His son, Deng Xiu, was the first to be sealed, while Zhao Sheng and Sun Yanhong were the reinforcements.

After General Deng left Shanhai Pass, the capital sent a large number of soldiers to the west, a total of 200,000. Along the way, the flags fluttered and killing intent surged.

You led a group of Buddhists and charged into the unholy Blood Sea.

Due to your status as the vice leader of the Buddhist League you were fully in charge of this operation.

After you made your move, you easily cleaned up the Asuras who invaded your territory.

Those who struggled were killed, and those who surrendered were called over.

However, you didn’t have the intention of letting it go. You led the Buddhists and killed your way into the Asuras’ lair, the Blood Sea.

Above the Blood Sea…

Three old Asuras at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, along with tens of thousands of Asuras, were standing in front of you.

“As a Buddhist, Your Excellency has invaded the territory of my Asura tribe. May I know what your intentions are?”

The leader of the group was an old man, whose cultivation base had reached the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

Even in the entire world, he could be considered a top existence.

However, in front of you, he seemed insignificant.

“Your tribe has repeatedly invaded the territory of the Buddhist League. This time, I’m here to convert all of you.”

You sounded very polite, but you were not being polite at all.

As soon as you said that, all the members of the Asura tribe were furious.

What’s more, a few Heaven Immortal Asuras directly attacked you.

You raised your hand and directly suppressed those Asuras who didn’t know how strong you were.

You didn’t care about the ants who were glaring at you.

Instead, you turned his head and looked at the endless Blood Sea.

You could feel that in the depths of the Blood Sea, there was a pair of eyes watching you.

“I’ve long heard that Ancestor River Styx’s cultivation is unparalleled. He was one of the top cultivators among the 3,000 guests in the Purple Cloud Palace. I’m here today. I wonder if you’d be willing to give me some pointers.”

After you finished speaking, you waited for a while, but there was no reply. You couldn’t help but frown.

You directly raised your hand and took out 12 Sea-Pacifying Pearls.

“Since you don’t want to give me face, I’ll have to force you to show yourself.”
One by one, the Sea-Pacifying Pearls smashed into the Blood Sea with terrifying power.

For a time, the Blood Sea started to shake and the waves were turbulent.

Suddenly, a blood curtain that covered the sky appeared in front of you.

The monks behind you are all scared silly.

You didn’t move at all. You calmly looked at the Blood Sea and said indifferently, “I’m sorry to offend you, Ancestor Styx River.”

In the human world, outside Western Qi City…

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

After Deng Jiugong arrived near Western Qi, coincidentally, he bumped into the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, who had come to support him.

Originally, the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island came to support Zhang Guifang, but they didn’t expect that by the time they arrived, Zhang Guifang had already been defeated.

Helplessly, they joined Deng Jiugong’s army.

With the addition of the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, Deng Jiugong was full of confidence.

They immediately accelerated the army and quickly arrived outside Western Qi City.

200,000 troops set up camp 20 li away from Western Qi. War flags fluttered in the wind, covering the sky. The terrifying military might was about to crush the entire city.

Western Qi’s side saw that their enemy was approaching and decided to wait for a few days before fighting.

Therefore, they directly hung a war-free board on the city wall and sent messengers and Deng Jiugong to say that they would fight again in a day.

Deng Jiugong naturally had no fear and readily agreed.

On the second day, the two armies faced each other.

The two armies of Western Qi and Great Shang got into position. Deng Jiugong of the Shang camp stood in front and cursed at Jiang Ziya.

Seeing this, Jiang Ziya retorted back. After the two sides had finished scolding each other and their negotiations had fallen apart, they were ready to start a fight.

The sound of drums could be heard from the back of the Shang army as the flags opened up. The Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island emerged from the army, each of them riding on a strange beast.

The Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island rushed out of the formation. Western Qi’s horses had never seen such a battle before. They were so scared that their legs turned soft, and all the generals fell down.

Jiang Ziya also fell down from the horse in a very embarrassing way. In the Western Qi army, only one person was fine, and that was Nezha. He stepped on the two Blazing Chakrams. He was not affected by the four beasts.

For a moment, the Western Qi army was in a sorry state. The four Saints didn’t attack directly. The boss, Wang Mo, said to Jiang Ziya with a smile, “Don’t panic. Get up slowly.”

This was a very gentlemanly action. If the army charged out at this time, the Western Qi military would undoubtedly lose.

Jiang Ziya, who had fallen off his horse, quickly tidied up his clothes and looked in the opposite direction, only to see four Daoists.
