I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 385 - : 385. Deception and trickery abound
Chapter 385: 385. Deception and trickery abound
The nodachi in the hands of Fukushima Ansei, named “Flashing Azure Dragon,” had an iridescent blade that was clearly not ordinary. It was personally bestowed by the Emperor in earlier years.
When he was still a mortal in the Bone Tempering Realm, in order to obtain firsthand information from the Western powers, he once braved the severe cold of minus 50 degrees to cross Siberia alone and afterward traveled a great deal in Jiade.
The entire journey spanned 14,000 kilometers, and his mastery of five languages made it easy for him to steal information from other nations, making him an important intelligence asset for Izumo.
Upon hearing of his deeds, the Emperor personally helped him break through three realms and also bestowed upon him the “Flashing Azure Dragon.”
These Golden Body Level or, in other words, Duke-level powerhouses, regardless of character or faction, all had legendary exploits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, Fukushima Ansei exerted all his strength to use his ultimate skill, “Crimson Blade Flow: Mist Blade,” and launched a terrifying attack at five times the speed of sound!
The speed of the thrust was so rapid that the True Qi attached to the blade frantically rubbed against the air, causing the tip of the blade to turn red hot, as if wrapped in a layer of mist.
He didn’t make a move, but once he did, it would surely be a bolt from the blue, very much in line with the characteristics of Izumo Warriors.
Zuo Gongzheng was tightly entangled by three Vampire Dukes, and Madam Mary was even busier in close combat. Logically, he should be overwhelmed.
As Fukushima Ansei expected, his blade was about to make contact with the opponent’s body.
He was confident—a single thrust would pierce through the opponent, shattering the Golden Body!
Just as he was overjoyed with anticipation, Zuo Gongzheng suddenly turned around, bracing against the attacks of the three Dukes, and unleashed the long-charged “Dragon Subduing Palm” directly at him!
The palm force exploded the air, blasting out white sonic booms. The mere shockwave was like a force 8 wind, scraping off a layer of the ground!
Their attacks would hit each other simultaneously, but Zuo Gongzheng completely ignored it, clearly intent on a mutual demise.

His expression was calm with no trace of ferocity, just a tranquil acceptance of life and death.
Fukushima Ansei’s temples throbbed wildly. At this critical moment, he wouldn’t back down, but he couldn’t rely on these temporary allies.
Underworld of thieves was full of deceit and mutual betrayal, and if there was a chance to eliminate a high-ranking opponent, they would certainly not show mercy.
If they were defeated, it wasn’t just about himself—none of the 20,000 Izumo troops he brought along would survive either!
Whether it was for his own life or the responsibilities he shouldered, Fukushima Ansei faltered.
His hands, grasping the blade, became unsteady, his infusion of True Qi hesitated, and in the critical moment of the clash…
Fukushima Ansei suddenly gripped the hilt of “Flashing Azure Dragon” fiercely, and his entire being was enveloped in a dim green glow, disappearing from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was shockingly a hundred meters away! The entire process took only a few milliseconds; it was the miraculous instant teleportation!
If Lu Yao were here, he would definitely find the green glow familiar, as it resembled the Dimensional Door of Star Key.
Seeing this, countless people gasped in shock, even the movements of the three Vampire Dukes slowed down a bit.
This was not “movement” but actual “teleportation.” Unexpectedly, the Izumo People possessed such a wondrous treasure! But it also sufficiently showed the Emperor’s favor towards this individual.
Zuo Gongzheng inwardly sighed in pity. With such an artifact, this foe was the one with the strongest survival ability present, and could no longer be killed.
Then, relying on the exquisite control over his body and True Qi, Zuo Gongzheng effortlessly switched from absolute firmness to ultimate softness and, “Dragon Subduing Palm” suddenly changing direction, hammered toward the Rakshasa’s Duke Patkin.
Zuo Gongzheng chose his targets, all of which he saw as significant threats to the Divine Land.
The Rakshasa sent the most troops, a total of 150,000, and were definitely the greediest present.
Duke Patkin, intent on avenging earlier humiliations, was caught off guard by the sudden attack on himself!
With a “whoosh,” he retreated instantly, not choosing to clash head-on, even when the opponent was already covered in wounds.
At that time, their side was encircling the prey. No matter how the prey fought back, they just needed to pull back and let teammates find the right moment to strike.
This was a standard tactic for a group attack, aimed at wearing down the enemy without loss.
But now comes the interesting part—Duke Heger and Madam Mary, seeing Zuo Gongzheng attack their ally, simultaneously slowed down, doing nothing!
The reason was simple—with one less person to share the spoils, they would get a larger cut and strike at a competitor.
“Scum! Your souls will howl in agony inside the silver box for a thousand years!”
As Duke Patkin cursed loudly, Zuo Gongzheng had already approached with an overwhelming aura.
At this point, fleeing would only lead to a quicker death, so Duke Patkin brought out his full strength in response.
Blood power surged tumultuously, flames of a dark red hue ignited around his body, and in an instant, he expanded, like a raging inferno of crimson fire.
“Lowly human race, you will pay for your recklessness with your life! Die!”
“The bravest prevail when narrow paths cross,” is a truth universally acknowledged through the ages. Duke Patkin, instead of retreating, advanced and turned into a blood shadow that pounced forward.
In the next instant, the two collided fiercely!
Zuo Gongzheng was all offense and no defense, letting the demon beast attack him, while the long-accumulated power of his Dragon Subduing Palm slammed into its chest!
With a thunderous boom, an explosive wave of force visible to the naked eye spread out, and the solid ground beneath their feet shattered into dust, sending dozens of tons of soil and rocks blasting sky-high, as high as several stories.
Zuo Gongzheng’s Dragon Subduing Palm had reached the transformative stage, light or heavy, hard or soft, all at his will, all his power concentrated in exploding upon the demon beast.
Duke Patkin was shattered by this hit, his remains mixed with mud and rocks flying in all directions.
500 meters away, on the nearest stretch of city wall, the defending soldiers quickly covered their heads and faces as soil and rocks, carried by a fierce wind, came crashing down, making the battlements rattle and crack.
When the dust had settled, a 20-meter diameter, three to four-meter-deep irregular pit appeared at the center of the battlefield.
Smoke was still rising from the pit as Zuo Gongzheng stood tall and proud, holding Duke Patkin’s head in his hand!
The rest of its body had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the head, which continued to scream:
“Stop! Stop! The Rakshasa Empire will not let you go! Her Majesty Catherine will avenge me…”
Before it could finish, Zuo Gongzheng crushed the head with a clean and decisive motion. A sharp and dreadful scream echoed through the void, as the demon beast left behind a strikingly rich and vivid red ruby.
The death of a comrade didn’t seem to bother the remaining three powerhouses at all; on the contrary, they approached with smiles on their faces, clearly in high spirits.
At this moment, Zuo Gongzheng was covered in injuries, and a hole the size of a finger pierced through his chest from Duke Patkin’s final struggle.
The wound, although small, had penetrated his body, with countless cracks spreading from it, his whole being appearing increasingly decrepit.
Anyone could see that he was at the end of his strength!
In the next second, Zuo Gongzheng was overwhelmed by the attacks of the three demon beasts.
To have been able to counter-kill one in such a desperate situation was already a miracle; one couldn’t ask for more.
~~~~~~~~~~~
At this very moment, on the heights surrounding the battlefield, representatives of countless forces were observing the battle.
They came from various sects, noble families, provincial governors, and even newspaper reporters.
Seeing this scene unfold, they all shook their heads in lament or showed smirks of unsurprise.
Sir Xiang wore a mocking smile, “Why trouble oneself unnecessarily? Even at the Golden Body Realm, one still doesn’t understand the principle of preserving oneself.”
Xiang Cheng was overjoyed, “With this battle no longer in question, we can finally go all out!”
Sir Xiang laughed:
“Cheng, let’s make our way to where Lu Yao is and try to capture him alive to do Madam Mary a favor.
Apart from her own strength, her father is the Vice President of the Menes Federation.
That country benefited from the last Great War, and it wouldn’t hurt us to form a relationship with them.”
Xiang Cheng’s face brightened even more, “Can I at least keep a few of that little beast’s women for myself?”
Sir Xiang smiled indulgently, “As you wish.”
