Chapter 740 – Miaomiao VS Guan Yu, the Necromancer General
"I'm surprised that you know me, heretic child of Mao Clan!" Guan Yu scoffed at Miaomiao.
Miaomiao kept staring at Guan Yu while he was gathering his Qi in his feathers. The Seal Array was no more, but it took time for him to warm up. Thus, Miaomiao chatted to buy time.
"I'm also surprised that you proactively come for my life even though I never offend you people."
"You already did! You corrupted the first princess!"
"Corrupted princess? Who-Ah!"
Miaomiao suddenly had an epiphany. As Shu Han had Liu Xuande as the leading figure, one of his wives with Liu's surname might have ended up being sent there as a member of the Liu Clan.
Liu Guang?
Miaomiao reread the Devil's letter. She mentioned that Liu Guang got stuck in a prison.
Jigsaw pieces began to connect. Now, Miaomiao understood what might have transpired in the Liu Clan. Liu Guang might have attempted to flee from the Shu Han Republic, but she might have been captured.
Knowing Liu Guang's personality, she might have used her insect manipulation techniques and scared the Liu Clan's members and the servants of Liu Xuande.
Realizing that Liu Guang had offended Liu Xuande, Miaomiao was in a good mood.
"I get it now. How is Liu Xuande?"
"The emperor's name is not something you can speak casually of!"
Guan Yu jumped off from the battleship and floated into the sky. He brought out a Guandao and erected a law domain around the city.
"You defeating the emperor of Asura Kingdom was nothing but a fluke! I shall prove it to you that you are nothing but a weakling!"
"Haiya. What have I ever done to you people? Why are you hating me so much?" Miaomiao couldn't stop his laughter as he found Guan Yu cringe.
"Because God Pangu wants you dead!" Guan Yu stopped messing around and bellowed.
Suddenly, the sky turned dark, and both men vanished from the city, leaving Xiong Zhenzhen, the battleship, and its crews behind.
Fortunately, Xiong Zhenzhen was not stupid. She brought out a talisman that Miaomiao had given her as a life-saving item.
The talisman belonged to Zhu Qiao before the great reset. It was the random teleportation talisman, which could potentially send her anywhere in the universe!
Miaomiao had already told her what its effect was, and she could only use it when she was in a desperate situation. However, Xiong Zhenzhen believed that she had no chance to fight against a battleship, which was filled with 9th-stage cultivators. Thus, she held the talisman in her hands, getting ready to tear it at any moment.

WHOOSH
WHOOSH
Meanwhile, Miaomiao and Guan Yu were teleported to a deserted arena. From a glance, it looked like the Coliseum of Rome, but its interior was in ruin.
Miaomiao spread his Qi sense to check his surroundings. Surprisingly, he didn't detect any lifeform around here.
"Where are we, my dear obnoxious general?"
Guan Yu sneered, "You don't need to know."
"So, was that your law? Selective teleportation to an unknown deserted planet?"
"You'll understand it soon enough."
Guan Yu created another domain law, covering the entire arena in lightning.
The walls of electricity shone brighter every second. A thousand humanoid hands of white and yellowish electric energy reached out toward the arena stage and pursued Miaomiao.
Strangely, as the hands extended, spirits of dead soldiers emerged from the wall and formed ranks, surrounding Miaomiao from all sides. Even in the sky, archers got in a net formation, aiming their bows at their target.
One of the lightning hands came for Miaomiao's face, but the latter caught its wrist. Although being zapped by the lightning, Miaomiao scanned the energy's foundation and its characteristic to understand to law domain.
As soon as Miaomiao's Qi sense touched the lightning hand, he looked at Guan Yu in astonishment.
"Good Lord. The God of War is now the God of Necromancer?!"
Guan Yu's foundation essence was the Twilight Essence. His law domain summoned spirits from his dantian universe and dead subordinates to fight alongside him. Moreover, as long as Guan Yu was still alive, his ghost army couldn't be killed.
This type of nasty law and abilities reminded Miaomiao of Olympian Gods as they prioritized their invincibility domain and conditions.
Miaomiao had an inspiration. He switched his primary essence to twilight essence and recalled the techniques and skills that he never used in the real world.
Necromancy
This skill belonged to Liu Bian, but Miaomiao copied it from Diaochan. He only used it to play an RTS game when he was bored in the dantian universe when he had free time.
And now, he put it into practice.
Although Miaomiao couldn't summon any soul from his dantian universe, he already had enough materials in front of him – The soldiers of Guan Yu.
"Do you mind if I do this?"
Miaomiao's twilight essence erupted. Both wings changed color to grey, and purple butterflies were born from the feathers. These creatures fluttered toward ghost soldiers of Guan Yu.
Guan Yu's sixth sense was alarmed. He blinked and reappeared in front of Miaomiao. His Guandao flashed as he attempted to cleave Miaomiao into two.
CLANK
As usual, Miaomiao injected his Life Essence into his arms and used his flesh to parry the attack. As if the Guandao hit a steel plate, its blade and Miaomiao's skin caused sparks.
As Miaomiao couldn't rely on Killer Queen in this situation, he clenched his fists. Twilight Essence, Life Essence, and Lightning Element Essence gathered in Miaomiao's body. Then, he counterattacked with a palm strike toward Guan Yu's chest.
It was a basic system skill that Miaomiao neglected as there were better weapon skills and ranged-attack skills. However, it was useful in close combat.
Huangjin Vajra Palm!
This skill came from a disciple of Huangjin Monastery. Even Zhao Bao mastered it, and Miaomiao had seen how it worked with Zhao Bao's clone and the simulation mode. It was also a foundation skill, which prepared the practitioner to use Buddha Palm Strike and other Buddha Techniques.
Huangjin Monastery's skills were compatible with Lightning Element and Holy Element. It contained the power to purify spirits, undead creatures, and curses.
Miaomiao was confused about why Guan Yu used Lightning Element and Necromancy together as they were incompatible with each other. However, as Miaomiao was curious about the local cultivator's laws, he tried to mimic Guan Yu's fighting style to learn the world's culture and specialties.
After getting hit by the palm, Guan Yu didn't flinch. He was the master of Lightning Element Essence, and he got used to being electrocuted by them.
"Idiot. It's futile!"
Guan Yu rotated his Guandao and hit Miaomiao's chest with the other side of his weapon.
Unfortunately, Miaomiao had a monstrous physique. The strike didn't even hurt him.
"What are you doing hitting me with a blunt pole. Are you an idiot?"
Miaomiao kept slapping Guan Yu's chest with more Vajra Palm Strikes. Each strike injected Life Essence into Guan Yu's dantian, causing the latter's energy to become chaotic as Life Essence and Twilight Essence couldn't merge.
Although Guan Yu didn't feel the pain, the infiltration of Life Essence troubled him. To prevent Miaomiao from playing the long game and corrupting his dantian, Guan Yu ordered his men and leaped away from Miaomiao.
"ALL UNITS, ATTACK! KILL!"
But Miaomiao pursued. He stomped the ground, and a shadow hand emerged from Miaomiao's shadow. It grabbed Guan Yu's left ankle and pulled him toward Miaomiao.
PA
Another palm hit Guan Yu's stomach, and his dantian universe became a mess. Stars collided against each other while many suns were self-detonated.
While Miaomiao's Life Essence was ruining Guan Yu's dantian, several strands of Miaomiao's twilight essence secretly circulated in Guan Yu's meridians, acting as spies. They searched for the host's Heavenly Fate Fragments, Cores, and Crystals.
After slapping Guan Yu for the 17th time, one of Miaomiao's twilight essence entered the spinal meridian of Guan Yu and located the hidden Heavenly Fate Crystal.
"There you are!"
Guan Yu retaliated. He coated his Guandao with all his essence and swung down.
SWUA
"Ah."
The blade of Guandao severed Miaomiao's right forearm and cut through half of the latter's chest. However, the blade got stuck in Miaomiao's body before it could chop off his torso into two.
Despite having a large polearm blade lodged in his flesh, Miaomiao grinned.
"You should have aimed for the head."
Miaomiao's hands straightened like a knife and thrust into Guan Yu's chest and stomach. Both hands seized the general's spine.
"LET GO! SOLDIERS, KILL HIM NOW!"
Countless arrows and spears also stabbed Miaomiao's back and turned him into a porcupine, but the angel didn't flinch. He continued to muster his strength, pulling the spine and yanking the heavenly fate crystal in the spinal cord out.
Meanwhile, the purple butterflies caught some of the ghost soldiers. Suddenly, the butterflies merged with them, and the ghosts turned purple.
The purple ghosts turned around and began attacking other ghosts!
Because of the interference of the butterflies, the ghosts began fighting each other in confusion. Half of them switched their targets from Miaomiao to the traitors.
Seeing that his soldiers were in disarray, Guan Yu pulled his Guandao out. He swung it down, aiming at Miaomiao's neck.
CRACK
It was too late. Miaomiao broke Guan Yu's spinal cord and pulled the entire ribcage, heart, and lungs out of Guan Yu's chest.
Guan Yu didn't cry in pain. He glared at Miaomiao with hatred before his entire body vanished into smoke.
The smoke flew away and gathered behind the ghost soldier formation. Then, it merged, and Guan Yu's new body emerged.
However, Guan Yu's red face was no longer red. It was pale white.
Miaomiao stared at Guan Yu and scoffed. He glanced at his right hand, which was holding a shining pearl.
Confirming that the heavenly fate crystal of Guan Yu was in his hand, Miaomiao chuckled. Instead of letting the pearl sink into his palm and merge with his dantian universe, he crushed it.
The pearl shattered, and the luck energy dispersed into thin air. Half of them entered Miaomiao's lung and became one with him.
"You're no longer a protagonist, Guan Yu."
"You… What did you do?!"
"Ruining your future."
Miaomiao stood still, regenerating his lost flesh and blood.
Meanwhile, the purple butterflies kept multiplying. The infected ghosts started to grow grey wings, and those wings produced more purple butterflies.
Guan Yu's eyes shifted. He observed his men, who were slowly being stolen by Miaomiao's mysterious butterflies.
"I'll remember this."
Guan Yu vanished, and the remaining ghost soldiers under him disappeared into smoke, leaving only the corrupted soldiers.
After Guan Yu and his army was gone, Miaomiao let out a sigh of relief. He looked around.
"Where am I? Jesus Christ. Can't you bring me back?"
