Chapter 351: Chapter 350 Task Two Completed!

“Don’t run!”

Miss Duan noticed the situation first. She was somewhat uncertain of these people’s intentions. Seeing them flee, she hesitated slightly, but decided to give chase.

From one side, Chen Xuanzang was keen to watch the eight strong figures battle. However, seeing Miss Duan and the Pig King escape, he gritted his teeth and followed suit.

Like this, the battlefield instantaneously split into two factions. One group of eight Demon King Level beings stayed in Gao Family Village.

Meanwhile, the other group, consisting of Miss Duan and Chen Xuanzang, ran off to kill the Pig King.

The Pig King didn’t dare to look back, even though he knew that the duo behind him posed no real threat to him, he did not dare to stop.

Du Gang and the other seven Demon Kings were fighting on his territory, and it had seriously terrified him.

Inside the Gao Family Village,

‘Chen Xuanfeng’ and others were not surprised by the sudden attack, knowing that Du Gang and the others were reincarnators as well.

However, they were a bit taken aback, “How did you know we are reincarnators?”

Du Gang naturally wouldn’t answer them. This was his first battle upon reaching the True God Level, and the enemy’s strength was not much different from his own. It was an excellent practice.

Not just the Four Blades of Chaos, even Tao Xuanzhu and others did not understand how Du Gang knew that the attackers were reincarnated.

Was it just because there were four of them?

She felt it wasn’t that simple, and there surely was some logic behind it she was unfamiliar with.

Sigh!

Tao Xuanzhu let out a sigh. She always felt that compared to Du Gang, there was more than heaven-and-earth difference. Now, it seemed, the gap was even wider.

After a while of battle, victory began leaning towards Du Gang’s side.

The main reason being that their side consisted of four who promoted from the peak level, thus they had a strong foundation.

In contrast, only the leading figure of the Four Blades of Chaos seemed to have promoted from the peak level with a stable foundation, but they were barely holding off against Du Gang.

The only reason these people could last so long was purely due to Du Gang and others newly promoting to True God Level, they were still not familiar with many of their abilities.

“How can you be so strong!”

The Four Blades of Chaos were both astonished and terrified at this point.

Du Gang merely smiled in response, “Are you aware of the latest changes in the Human Rankings?”

“Changes in Human Rankings?”

The Four Blades of Chaos were bewildered, two of them immediately shook their heads, “We haven’t paid much attention to the Human Rankings since becoming True Gods…”

The leading figure, however, furrowed his brow and his face turned pale, “You…are you the powerful competitors from the Human Rankings?”

Upon hearing this, Kou Yingwu couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Not just competitors from the Human Rankings. The one standing before you is Du Gang, who has left the talented youngsters of all five domains in his dust, the number one in Human Rankings!”

“What?!”

All four were stunned, looking at Du Gang in shock.

At this moment, the tides of the battlefield shifted.

Du Gang and his comrades launched their attack simultaneously, exploding with various levels of secret techniques, their combat power doubling instantly, pressing down the Four Blades of Chaos.

“Don’t kill me, I’m Wu Long, Wu Yang is my brother!”

Wu Yang?

Du Gang raised his brows, he hadn’t heard of him. But even if he had, so what?

This world was bathed in red, the law of the jungle reigned supreme between reincarnators, survival of the fittest. Was there any room for sympathy?

However, he was amused by this man’s words.

“So what if your brother is Wu Yang? You’re still going to die. And even if you did die, would your brother know?”

“Yes, he could!”

Wu Long hastily responded, “Within the True God Level, if a squad perishes, a tracking application can be made to take revenge in the next mission…”

He had figured it out, the four individuals in front of him were newbies. And top-tier newbies at that. They were not aware of Wu Yang’s famed reputation and quickly warned, “My brother is a core member of a level three guild, leading a Golden Squad, one of the top ten Golden Squads in the True God Space!”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang was not in a hurry to kill him but asked instead, “What is this top ten Golden Squad you speak of?”

Wu Long hurriedly replied, “The top ten Golden Squads are well-known in the True God Space and are the most powerful of teams. Each squad is capable of sweeping across everything in their tier…”

Du Gang turned to Zhang Xinyi and the others, asking, “Are you afraid of this squad?”

The three of them smirked, “Martial arts cultivation is like sailing against the current. If we back down, we regress. If we were scared of background status, we wouldn’t have achieved this level of cultivation!”

Du Gang nodded and turned back to Wu Long with a smile, “You heard them, if your brother wants to cause trouble, we’ll deal with it. For now, you should just focus on your revival!”

After that, he didn’t hesitate anymore, and immediately activated his Jie-Character Secret, killing Wu Long.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

Four loud explosions later, the four who were disguised as members of the Zhongyi School were dead.

[Mission 2: Kill a minimum of four reincarnators as a team. Reward: 10 Merit each. Current Status: Completed.]

Hearing the sound cue in their ears, Du Gang and the others grinned, “Now, only the task of registering three demons remains!”

Kou Yingwu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, laughing, “I was worried earlier, thinking these reincarnators were very strong. But now, it turned out they’re not even a match for us!”

Tao Xuanzhu wasn’t surprised, nodding, “That’s normal. After all, not everyone gets the chance to promote to True God from the pinnacle. We are more than just peak fighters…”

Furthermore, they’ve had better luck due to Du Gang’s advancement progress having reached 80%.

However, she frowned, “This Wu Yang sounds like a peak True God. His revenge…”

Du Gang interrupted her, “Rest assured, a peak True God just has a 15% progress. I have 8% now, which is just half of it away. This time, if the rewards are high, maybe we can directly reach the peak True God stage!”

That’s a possibility. He consulted Zhang Youwei and realized that after advancing from God Spirit Level to True God Level, the subsequent journey was comparatively easier.

Before the God Spirit Level, it was about finding the path, looking for the Heavenly Dao, entrusting the True Spirit to the Heavenly Dao.

While above True God Level, once you have entrusted it, it actually becomes much easier to cultivate since you have already found the Dao.

Perhaps, the Heavenly Dao felt that these cultivators were of their kind, so it let them cultivate much more easily. This much was not impossible.

And more importantly, this was Heavenly Court’s territory, where promotion was easier as long as you had the merit.

“For now, let’s not think too much. We’ll deal with future problems when we get there!”

Du Gang sternly stated, “Our main focus right now is the task at hand!”

“The third remaining task requires registering three demons. We have already registered one, as for the other two, I have selected…”

Tao Xuanzhu’s eyes lit up at this moment, as she quickly interjected, “Let me guess, the demon you want to register is not that Pig Demon that just ran away, is it?”

“The third… Is it the one known as the number one demon king, Sun Wukong?”

The other two also looked at Du Gang curiously, curious to know if she was right.

Du Gang nodded and chuckled, “Indeed, this time, you’ve guessed correctly!”

“These three demons are all related to the Child of Heavenly Fate. Registering them will definitely yield considerable rewards!”

He added, “At the very least, far stronger than ordinary Demon Kings!”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Kou Yingwu quickly asked, “What are we waiting for then? Let’s hurry up and hunt down that Pig Demon. What if it gets killed by someone else?!”

Du Gang, however, just gave a casual smile, gesturing with his hand, “There’s no need to rush. The Pig Demon won’t die just yet. We need to head somewhere and quietly watch the drama unfold.”

Miss Duan and Chen Xuanzang pursued for a while, but eventually lost track of the Pig King.

Miss Duan could have caught up, but she was worried about Chen Xuanzang’s safety and refrained from pursuing further.

The two separated once again amidst Miss Duan’s taunts.

Just as it happened in the original plot, Chen Xuanzang, feeling inadequate after witnessing the power of other exorcists, sought guidance from his master, Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha naturally dismissed him with some misleading words.

Later as expected, Chen Xuanzang encountered bandits disguised as Miss Duan’s subordinates, effectively moving the plot forward.

Until the Pig Demon reincarnated by the Pig King appeared again, with everyone on the brink of death, the Mighty Punch King made his appearance.

His first move was Tiger Fist, transforming his entire being into a massive tiger.

By this time, the Pig King had shown his true form. If anyone observed closely, they would see that his eyes lacked sanity, and there was a faint Buddha’s mark on the back of his head.

It was clear that the Pig King had been secretly bewitched by someone from the Buddhist faction, losing his sanity in the process.

Otherwise, given his original circumstances, he would have escaped to lie low somewhere long ago.

“Little pig, look at my movement!”

The Mighty Punch King had the strength comparable to a Demon King. The Pig King was no match for him and was toyed with thoroughly.

Just as the Mighty Punch King was about to finish off the Pig King, a flying sword suddenly descended from the sky.

“Whoosh!”

This sword was clearly aimed towards the Mighty Punch King. Should he continue to kill the Pig King, he would undoubtedly be hit by the sword.

Upon seeing this, the Mighty Punch King quickly retreated, avoiding the flying sword.

“Master Kong Xu’s Kong Xu Sword technique is indeed well-deserved!”

Before the Mighty Punch King could respond, an old man with a crutch suddenly sprang up from the side.

Meanwhile, on the other side, as portrayed in the drama, Master Kong Xu was carried out by four old ladies.

Watching this scene from the shadows, Du Gang nodded slightly, beginning to comprehend some things.

“Master Kong Xu must have known about this plan. Even the rumor in the outside world that the three of them will release Sun Wukong and kill him again was likely started by Kong Xu himself.”

Kou Yingwu nodded, “Then what are we supposed to do next? Do we go out and form an alliance with them?”

Du Gang glanced at him without responding.

Tao Xuanzhu and Zhang Xinyi on the side both displayed expressions of affectionate frustration.

“Hey, hey, what do you mean?!”

Kou Yingwu was completely confused. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he just said!

Du Gang rolled his eyes and irritably explained, “Do you understand why these people are executing these plans?”

“Why?” Kou Yingwu looked puzzled.

Tao Xuanzhu on the side made a gesture and started to explain.

“According to what we know, there are many experts at the Demon King level in this world. The orthodox ones are divided into Buddhism, Daoism, Sword Sect, and so on. Apart from them, there are many self-taught experts, such as the Mighty Punch King and Heaven Broken Feet. They either taught themselves or found some kind of secret manual, eventually advancing to the Demon King level!”

“There are quite a few of such people…”

Tao Xuanzhu stopped at this point, assuming that Kou Yingwu should understand.

However, Kou Yingwu’s response stunned all three of them.

He seemed completely confused and asked, “And then?”

The three of them fell silent for a moment. Du Gang even began to doubt if he had brought the right person along.

Tao Xuanzhu sighed and continued, “According to Du Gang, the orthodox Buddhism, Daoism, and Sword Sect have colluded to eliminate Sun Wukong permanently to prevent future troubles. From a moral standpoint, they are doing this for future generations, but in reality, they are after Merit, wanting to advance to the true realm of the immortals or the Buddha realm.”

“But think about it, during Sun Wukong’s undefeated period, he destroyed the Heavenly Court, causing the end of an era’s strongest beings…”

“That’s why they need to resort to some tricks, getting other freely grown experts at the Demon King level to join the war willingly!”

It finally clicked for Kou Yingwu, “So they mean to use these experts as cannon fodder?”

“So, Master Kong Xu, who seemingly invented his own sword technique and appears to be an independent cultivator, is actually a person from the Sword Sect. His aim is to gather these freely grown experts to fight against Sun Wukong?”

“Exactly!”

Du Gang nodded, “These two people are only the most famous ones. But in reality, over the years, there have been quite a few self-taught experts without a sect or school. As far as I know, all these people are here…”

Kou Yingwu frowned, “But that doesn’t make sense. Even if they kill Sun Wukong, they’ll only earn the title of the strongest…”

Du Gang smiled, “You clearly didn’t take a good look at the Bounty List!”

“What’s wrong with the Bounty List?” Kou Yingwu looked puzzled.

Tao Xuanzhu on the side shook her head, supplementing, “On the Bounty List, the bounty for Sun Wukong is one billion silver taels, invested by the remnants of the Heavenly Court and various Buddhist, Daoist, and Sword sects!”

“One billion?!!”

Kou Yingwu’s mouth fell open in disbelief.

“If that’s the case, it would explain why the others were attracted…”

Based on the values of this world, one billion silver taels were enough to buy several cities.

Anyone who got this kind of bounty could not only establish a sect but also purchase several cities and become a city lord without any problem.

“We better leave!”

Interrupting the transmitted conversation between the three, Du Gang turned around and quickly set off, secretly following the Pig King’s tracks.

Seeing this, the other three immediately followed him.

Meanwhile, in the center of the field, as Master Kong Xu, Heaven Broken Feet, and the Mighty Punch King appeared, more and more experts at the Demon King level started appearing.

In a moment, the entire area turned into some kind of gathering, gathering dozens of experts at the Demon King level in the blink of an eye.

If there wasn’t prior dissemination of information or someone quietly making arrangements, this would have been impossible.

However, no one from the orthodox Buddhism, Daoism, or Sword Sect appeared, as if they truly wished to avoid worldly matters.
