A massive White Holy Coffin spans the void, suspended above the Dangmo Army Camp.
"Angel!"
"Is it an angel from the Sea of Divine Grace or the Prison of Divine Might?"
"Prepare to fight!"
The soldiers below in the Dangmo Army have already scattered, ready to meet the enemy!
On the stage.
Shen Lang stepped to Lin Muâs side, asking softly, "How was your harvest this time when you went to the Ancient Land?"
Lin Mu smiled faintly, but did not respond.
It seemed they were not yet familiar enough for casual conversation.
Shen Lang sighed, speaking gravely, "You must realize that tonightâs medal ceremony wonât be peaceful. Western forces absolutely wonât tolerate our Huaxia becoming so strong; tonight, a large battle seems unavoidable!"
Lin Mu said indifferently, "Thatâs your affair; Iâve already talked to Kong Lin and, after today, I wonât have any ties with the Dragon Protection Hall."
"You!"
Shen Lang widened his eyes; he didnât expect that Lin Wudi would have this attitude upon returning from the Ancient Land.
This wasnât like the unparalleled, masterful Lin Wudi!
Lin Mu closed his eyes, Condensation Spirit, no longer paying attention to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Jin Shisan beside him.
"Hall Master, donât say anymore. Havenât you noticed that Lin Wudiâs aura is different from before?"
Jin Shisan tightly focused on Lin Mu, his hand gripping the knife, making a cracking sound!
As if fearing something!
"Huh?"
Shen Lang was startled.
Perhaps it was the puzzle of the situation; he had been preoccupied only with considering how to weather tonightâs crisis and hadnât paid much attention to Lin Wudiâs aura change.
Now, as Shen Lang looked at Lin Mu again, he finally noticed what was wrong with Lin Mu.
Before entering the Ancient Land, there was an indescribable sense of authority emanating from Lin Mu!
To Shen Lang, it felt as if he were facing Huaxiaâs supreme leader.
He even wondered if Lin Mu had cultivated some kind of imperial Cultivation Technique!
However, at this moment, that imperial majesty from Lin Mu was gone, replaced by an unrestrained, carefree feeling unbound by any constraints.
Standing among people, yet seemingly isolated from the world, incongruous with his surroundings.
As if heaven and earth were heaven and earth, all beings were all beings, and Lin Mu was just Lin Mu!
This feeling was very profound, hard to describe, but Shen Lang felt it.
He didnât know if it was a breakthrough in Lin Muâs Cultivation Technique or an elevation in his realm, but he knew Lin Mu had become stronger!
Moreover, it seemed as if heâd severed all ties, leaving no flaws!
Perfect, impeccable!
This was the feeling Lin Mu gave him at this moment!
In an instant, Shen Langâs mood became complicated.
Thinking Lin Mu had missed the Spiritual Energy revival, missed the Black Evil Qi, predicting heâd fall behind in his realm.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wudi was still Lin Wudi!
"Moreover, did you notice that young woman beside Lin Wudi? Her presence feels strong too!"
Jin Shisan continued speaking.
Shen Lang was again shocked, reflexively looking in Langyaâs direction.
After looking, he couldnât help but smile bitterly, "Thirteen, do you think Iâm getting old? Iâm not as alert as you."
Jin Shisan held his breath, "Hall Master, can I not answer that? Isnât being less alert than me embarrassing? It seems like youâre belittling me!"
While the two spoke for these few seconds, Chen Banshan approached.
"Lin Wudi, up for a challenge?"
With a single sentence, the seven exiled immortals around Lin Mu locked their eyes onto Chen Banshanâs face.
Lin Mu kept his eyes closed, Condensation Spirit, silent.
Chen Banshan laughed, "Iâve long heard of Lin Wudiâs fame. Unfortunately, as I was growing, you were entering the Ancient Land, and I thought weâd have no chance to clash. Surprised, youâre out so soon."
"No time like the present; letâs have a go!"
With that, Chen Banshan was about to reach for Lin Mu.
"Chen Banshan, stop!"
Shen Lang shouted angrily.
With a formidable enemy present, not dealing with the descending angels but entangling Lin Wudi, is this new War God out of his mind!
"Call me Ban Shan War God!"
Chen Banshanâs gaze was sharp as a knife, his words clanging, not regarding Shen Lang at all.
As a swordsman, he had unparalleled bravado!
Of course Shen Lang wouldnât allow himself to be insulted casually; his Flying Sword within buzzed, ready to strike.
At this moment, Jin Shisan suddenly spoke, "Ban Shan War God, how about we play a different game? Iâve long been displeased with your so-called Four Great War Gods. Letâs make a bet!"
Chen Banshanâs gaze was icy, mocking, "Your Dragon Protection Hall has fallen behind the times, youâre just a few weaklings, on what basis do you dare bet with me?"
Jin Shisan didnât get upset, saying with a smile, "If weâre just a few weaklings, what are you afraid of? Dare you not bet!"
"Using provocation on me? Heh, say it, what are you betting?"
Chen Banshan looked down at Jin Shisan from above, dismissing him.
Indeed, Black Evil Qi can enhance strength.
But everyoneâs adaptability to Black Evil Qi varies.
Some are naturally compatible with Black Evil Qi, like Chen Banshan.
Others, upon reaching a certain limit with Black Evil Qi, must halt their slaughters to quench their killing intent.
After their spirit and bodies recover, they resume absorbing through slaughter.
But Chen Banshan was different; he absorbed Black Evil Qi without any bottleneck.
As long as he kills zombies, he can enhance his strength!
The other three Great War Gods have such physiques too!
So they can emerge from tens of thousands of Dangmo Army soldiers to become War Gods!
To Chen Banshan, Jin Shisan and the others have slow strength enhancement, surely encountering bottlenecks, low compatibility with Black Evil Qi!
If absorbing Black Evil Qi had talent, Jin Shisan and others would be talentless!
Chen Banshan was truly a Proud Son of Heaven!
Jin Shisan seemed unaffected by the disdain in Chen Banshanâs eyes.
He pointed to the Holy Coffin in the sky, "You know tonight wonât be peaceful; a large battle is inevitable!"
"Letâs compare who kills more enemies tonight, whose enemies are stronger! How about that?"
Shen Lang chuckled, surprised Jin Shisan used this method to provoke Chen Banshan to kill the enemy.
Chen Banshan hesitated briefly, then laughed loudly, "Good idea indeed!"
With that, he looked at Lin Mu, "Lin Wudi, you bear the name of invincibility, surely you have the courage? As Jin Shisan said, letâs bet!"
Lin Mu acted as if he hadnât heard, remaining unresponsive.
Chen Banshan was about to get angry when a loud voice sounded from behind him.
"Bird Person! I, Jiaolong, shall cut you down!"
Then, a blade light exploded, Jiaolong soared into the sky!
Above the void, the Holy Coffin opened, revealing a Four-winged Angel to the crowd.
"I am the Light Angel Raphael..."
Before the Four-winged Angel finished its opening line, Jiaolongâs blade was already there!
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the blade edge tore through the air.
As the void quaked, Internal Energy shot in all directions.
Jiaolongâs blade power turned the skies dramatic, thunderous.
Even space barriers strengthened by the Spiritual Energy revival began to tremor!
Shangguan Shiming glanced, surprised, "Core Formation might! One blade possessing the strength of a Golden Core Great Ancestor!"
Though aware of various drawbacks of Black Evil Qi, Jiaolongâs displayed strength still startled her.
A month ago, before entering the Ancient Land with Lin Wudi, she had a fleeting encounter with Jiaolong.
At that time, Jiaolong was merely an Inner Strength Martial Artist, not even a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Within just a month, such a tremendous transformation occurred.
Shangguan Shimingâs astonishment was not surprise but dread!
The stronger Jiaolong becomes, the more sinister Black Evil Qi appears!
This sinister thing, no wonder even Lin Wudi called it malicious!
