Chapter 1923: Chapter 1919: A Fearsome Alliance
"Brother Zhang, calm down, you’re still just a Nine-star Peak Martial Master. This is not something you can meddle in... Ah!"
Tang Ming looked at Zhang Chuming with concern, but before he could finish his sentence, he couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.
Tianye Yingzi grabbed Tang Ming and Hua Yingjie and quickly retreated, while Meng Xianjun and Sun Zhuangjia also hurriedly distanced themselves from Zhang Chuming.
At this moment, a layer of bizarre black energy surged from Zhang Chuming’s body, and his eyes turned jet black, with the whites and pupils completely disappearing.
"Xingtian, come!"
Zhang Chuming raised his hand quickly to seal, then suddenly lifted his right hand, shouting loudly. Immediately, a two-colored energy array plate appeared above his head, one side white, the other black.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, a giant with a white, translucent body passed through the array plate and landed behind Zhang Chuming. It was a headless monster with two large axes, eyes on its chest, and a wide mouth on its abdomen.
"Can this really happen?"
Seeing this scene, Tang Ming and others were dumbfounded. This seemed to be a monster from myth, yet it was summoned.
"This is the terrifying power of the Exorcism Order."
Meng Xianjun gulped, speaking apprehensively, "Maybe this monster is just a legendary existence, but the cultivator of the Exorcism Order can use soul power to materialize it. As for how powerful it can be, it depends on how Zhang Chuming uses it."
"Baobao, come over!"
After summoning Xingtian, Zhang Chuming coldly called out.
"Coming!"
Zhang Baobao seized an opportunity to quickly retreat to Zhang Chuming’s side.
Seeing Zhang Baobao withdraw from the battle, Caixia’s first reaction was to pursue.
"Don’t be rash, that’s the Exorcism Order of the God and Ghost Sect."
Yue Ming hurriedly pulled Caixia back, vigilantly watching Zhang Chuming.
"Just a Nine-star Peak Martial Master, what does it matter if he has the Exorcism Order?"
Caixia sneered, curling her lips dismissively.
"If it were that simple, the God and Ghost Sect wouldn’t be one of the eight big forces in martial arts."
Yue Ming dared not be complacent, but was inwardly frustrated. The mission this time was to deal with Tang Ming and reclaim the Forbidden Land, but before even talking to Tang Ming, they were already facing off with Zhang Baobao, a frustrating setup.
"Baobao, does it hurt?"
Seeing Zhang Baobao with a face full of blood next to him, Zhang Chuming asked concernedly.
"It hurts! That guy kicked me in the face, flattened my nose."
Zhang Baobao wiped the blood from his nose.
"This is surely the young master of the God and Ghost Sect, Zhang Chuming, right?"
Yue Ming slightly raised his hand, speaking calmly, "We are here only to deal with Tang Ming and the ownership of the Forbidden Land. We have no intention of being enemies with the God and Ghost Sect, so please don’t be impulsive."
"Impulsive, your damned uncle! Who dares kick Baobao in the face, even if the Sect Master of Rainbow Cloud Peak came, he’d have no face."
Seeing Zhang Baobao’s pitiable state, Zhang Chuming’s anger soared. He suddenly pressed Zhang Baobao’s head: "Baobao, are you ready?"
"Ready, let’s beat them up."
Zhang Baobao took a deep breath, growling fiercely.
"Possession!"
Zhang Chuming shouted angrily, and the phantom of Xingtian behind him drilled into Zhang Baobao’s body along his form.
"Zhang Chuming, it wasn’t intentional to hurt this girl, and I apologized. Don’t go too far."
Yue Ming’s expression turned unpleasant as Zhang Chuming showed no respect.
"Too late, you better apologize to Baobao."
Zhang Chuming smiled coldly, withdrawing his right hand.
The next moment, an immense aura surged from Zhang Baobao, his eyes turned gray-black, his body exuding a layer of vigorous Gang Qi, though it didn’t form into Vigorous Air Armor. Instead, it shrouded Zhang Baobao in the image of Xingtian.
"Come fight again."
Zhang Baobao swung the iron shovel in his hand, a mass of black Gang Qi enveloping it, transforming into the image of a large axe.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Baobao charged towards Yue Ming and Caixia like a tank.
"Be careful, this woman even used Gang Qi."
Yue Ming’s expression shifted slightly, issuing a warning while hastily cultivating to defend.
The three clashed again, but this time Zhang Baobao’s momentum was formidable. The Gang Qi fluctuation on her was by no means inferior to Yue Ming and Caixia. With just one exchange, she gained absolute advantage, wielding the large axe with both making them powerless to resist.
"What’s going on here?"
Tang Ming looked bewildered at the suddenly mighty Zhang Baobao, utterly confused about what had happened.
Zhang Baobao hadn’t used Gang Qi. How could accepting Xingtian’s energy enhance her power several times over?
"I’m not sure either! But I only know the Exorcism Order is a soul cultivation technique. Though bizarre, its power shouldn’t be this great."
Meng Xianjun gulped, puzzledly staring at Zhang Baobao, "This woman is definitely not ordinary, capable of merging with Zhang Chuming’s summoned god and ghost, fully unleashing the power of soul and body, unimaginable."
"It does seem rather eerie."
Tang Ming’s expression turned grim. He had previously faced strong opponents in soul form, like the ancestor inside Li Xiaoli.
When that ancestor used Li Xiaoli’s body in battle, it caused severe strain on both. But now Zhang Baobao seemed unaffected, and her displayed power was far stronger than the ancestor and Li Xiaoli combined, unscientific!
"No wonder Zhang Chuming, just a Peak Martial Master, dares involve himself in matters involving Martial Generals and above. He and Zhang Baobao together are frighteningly formidable."
Meng Xianjun looked apprehensively at Zhang Chuming and Zhang Baobao.
While Tang Ming and the others were shocked, Zhang Baobao, with absolute power, suppressed the two Two-star Martial Artists, causing them to sweat profusely. Eventually, she chopped Caixia away and mercilessly kicked Yue Ming in the face.
"Let you steal my hard work, let you step on my face..."
Zhang Baobao muttered while kicking, thankfully holding back. Otherwise, using her weapon like this a few times could potentially blow the head off a Two-star Martial General.
Minutes later, Zhang Baobao swung the iron shovel around, quickly burying everyone from Rainbow Cloud Peak in the stone pile, leaving only their heads exposed. Yue Ming and Caixia were buried at the top, looking quite eerie.
"Done!"
Zhang Baobao stood atop the stone pile, exhaling towards Zhang Chuming, the energy on her dissipating into a black mist flying to Zhang Chuming, finally condensing into a vague image of Xingtian above his head.
"Disperse!"
Zhang Chuming sealed quickly, Xingtian’s shadow flew into the array plate above his head, disappearing.
"Old Zhang, you’re truly deep, what just happened here?"
Tang Ming and Meng Xianjun quickly ran towards Zhang Chuming, curiously asking.
