After truly spending time together, the young man's temperament really suited my taste. He seemed emotionless, yet never interfered with his subordinates venting their emotions.
The Tiger General glared at the young man, rebuking, "Audacious, how dare you be so disrespectful to me!"
"Bold, how dare you disregard the supreme!"
The White Crane True Monarch let out a loud shout, stepping on the Three-step Praise, directly arriving in front of the Tiger General.
The Tiger General opened his right hand, and the broken blade that had fallen earlier quickly flew back. But just then, the child reached out his hand backward, accurately snatching the broken blade, and then slashing horizontally at the Tiger General.
The Tiger General not only didn't dodge but instead opened himself up, clenched his fists, and struck toward the child.
This in turn caught the child off guard.
He suddenly remembered that the Yin God of the official didn't care about the state of the Divination Child, so their combat style often chose to go forward recklessly, regardless of the consequences.
Moreover, the previous exchanges had made them aware of the current power gap between the two sides, forcing them to choose the strategy of "trading life for injury," but only with the life of the Divination Child.
Of course, they didn't think they were inferior to the White Crane Child; they merely blamed the quality of their Divination Child for not being able to display their true power.
The child changed the blade's edge to the blade's flat, striking the Tiger General's body, while the Tiger General's fists pounded his chest.
However, the Tiger General spat blood, while the child only staggered.
The official stepped forward, the guillotine appeared again, attempting to rescue.
The child swung his fist upward, hitting before the guillotine could descend.
"Bang!"
The official flew back a great distance once again.
The child didn't pursue but turned to continue relentlessly striking the Tiger General lying beneath him with the blade's flat side.
Any attempt by the Tiger General to resist and stand was preemptively suppressed by the child, forcing him to remain prone, taking the beating passively.
The harm was intentionally mild, with the sole purpose of inflicting humiliation.
The Tiger General, furious, puffed white steam from his nose, but he was helpless. Known for his fierceness, his strength was utterly futile against the White Crane this moment.
The official, rising again, clasped his hands, reciting a spell, shadows spreading from beneath him.
The White Crane lifted his foot, kicking the Tiger General into the air, then using the broken blade as a stick, struck fiercely.
"Bang!"
The Tiger General was sent flying, skidding several dozen meters upon landing.
In the next moment, the White Crane planted the broken blade into the ground before him, pinning the shadows that intended to leap and bind him to the ground, unable to move.
Simultaneously, the Shuping eyes of the White Crane noticed the official deliberately released a shadow heading toward Brother Xiao Yuan.
But as long as the official didn't go personally, the White Crane had no need to obstruct or protect.
The shadow rose behind Li Zhiyuan, intending to pounce and engulf him when it violently twisted, Karmic Fire blazing on it, tracing back.
The official's hands too caught Karmic Fire, promptly shaking it off to extinguish it.
Just after removing the Karmic Fire, a pair of Shuping eyes appeared before him.
The White Crane grabbed the official by the neck, lifting him, swinging him in a perfect circle before smashing him to the ground.
Again lifting, again smashing, continue swinging, continue smashing.
The primal beating was the only way to release the pent-up resentment within.
Tonight's reunion with old colleagues would forego business talks, for purely personal matters!
After venting, the White Crane kicked the official away, letting him accompany the Tiger General.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
The heavy breathing emanating from the White Crane's chest was not from exhaustion but from satisfaction.
But clearly, the two misunderstood, or rather, during the earlier beating, they had already calculated in their minds, now feeling the time had come.
Three incense sticks were lit above their heads, and they stood straight.
But to their shock, the White Crane seemed already aware of what they intended to do. As they just stood up, they saw the White Crane inexplicably close at hand.
"You..."
"Incense..."
"Using incense to extend Divination time, to me, is old history."
The White Crane spread his arms, conjuring the phantoms of tridents in each palm, stabbing them into them.
This pain targeted not the flesh but directly the perception of the Yin God.
If the earlier beating was merely humiliating, now it was genuine torture.
"You... child... what have you become..."
"Who are you really..."
The White Crane declared loudly:
"I am now the first Guardian True Monarch under the Dragon King!"
Tridents doubled, all piercing in.
The Tiger General and the official, knowing they were defeated tonight, could only choose to leave the Divination Child's body.
But just then, talisman needles flew out from the White Crane's pocket, piercing their bodies.
Almost about to leave, the Tiger General and the official were forcibly pulled back again.
"Don't rush, it's just beginning, why hurry to leave?"
Tan Wenbin, hands in his pockets, the Blood Ape Power long dissipated, watched the White Crane torment the two Lords of Yin, mirroring the scene of Brother Xiao Yuan branding him in the past.
"The child has grievances in his heart."
Li Zhiyuan sat on the nearby bench, not watching the fight between the Yin Gods, but contemplating the way into the Ghost Gate.
Given the scale seen tonight, it seemed that below the "distinguished person," a sufficient number of Chang Ghosts was needed.
But firstly, Li Zhiyuan wasn't one to create Chang Ghosts, secondly, he didn't have the time and energy.
So, he'll opt for the simple way. With the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk now happening frequently, he might as well wait for the next time to directly swap a "distinguished person."
