The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1134 - 159: The Seven Sovereigns

"King Biancheng!"

Hattori Hanzo shouted the name of the woman blocking his escape, a trace of surprise creeping into his heart.

He knew King Biancheng was a Divinity Realm warrior skilled in deceit, but had never actually fought against her and did not realize her accomplishments in this art were no less than his own, the Ninja God from Japan.

"Thousand Body Illusion."

Without hesitation, Hattori Hanzo transformed into countless phantoms, scattering in all directions.

Escape, definitely escape. To stay for a fight would only lead to death; fleeing might offer a glimmer of hope. King Biancheng could keep pace with him, but King Pingdeng was not adept in this art.

"You cannot escape."

A chilling light flickered in King Biancheng's eyes as she gracefully shifted, leaving behind forms of evil ghosts, instantaneously transforming into a thousand ghostly figures, spreading a pathway of ghosts.

The chase began.

························

Meanwhile, on the East Sea Coast, the Japanese army faced their foe.

An eerie wind howled, ten thousand ghosts wailed, and the Dharma Image of Yama appeared before the army camp, pressing down with one palm; twenty thousand soldiers, already ashore, felt as if their souls were about to escape their bodies.

In the next moment, they confirmed this premonition wasn't wrong. First was the lowest ranking cook, then ordinary light foot soldiers. Within three breaths, over thirty thousand souls were extracted by Yama, and if he continued, the twenty thousand-strong army would be defeated within fifteen minutes.

"Such audacity."

Mountainous Dharma Image appeared above the camp, sweeping horizontally at the Dharma Image of Yama.

"Boom——"

Vicious sword aura and eerie dead Qi Force clashed, two supremely fierce forces collided like water and fire, incessantly pounding.

Now wearing the Ten Thousand Ghosts Emperor Robe and the Crown of Ghost Emperor, and clad in scarlet armor, Suzan Ming Venerate appeared simultaneously, manipulating the Dharma Image to attack once more.

"Boom——"

The huge sword aura and fist power collided, two Dharma Images like mythical giants, fists and swords clashing, stirred up a stormy wave of Qi.

"Yama, daring to intrude upon my army camp at night, leave your life here."

The sun and moon rose, Amaterasu and Yueyejian manifested as two giant light wheels in the sky.

"Holy Flame Heavenly Light."

The Sun Wheel expanded, revealing the Great Sun Tathagata within, extending a hand from the Sun Wheel. The True Sun Fire, supremely rigid and yang, burned all things.

"Woo–oo–oo—"

Ten thousand ghosts wailed under the True Sun Fire, sinister entities were utterly subdued by this Great Sun Tathagata.

The Japanese strongest invaded with the intent to weaken the enemy's power entirely. With Amaterasu and Suzan Ming Venerate besieging Yama alone, they completely disregarded the so-called pride of the warrior.

Two besieging, with Yueyejian aiding on the side, Yama was hard-pressed, firmly placed at a disadvantage. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Earth Destroying Thousand Mountains."

As expected, Mu Cangsheng appeared as Yama fell into a disadvantage. However, his strike was not aimed at saving Yama, but directly targeted the camp below.

The earth cracked, the spot where the army camp was located split instantly, countless ghostly shadows emerged from underground.

"Great Thousand Sinking."

Yama took Amaterasu's strike head-on, gathering Qi to cast a move, ten thousand ghosts broke out from beneath, converging into a waterfall of ghostly images, occupying the entire heavenly vault like a ghost realm.

"Wow—"

After this move, Yama retreated rapidly, spitting blood, fleeing from the infuriated three Japanese strongest.

At the cost of severe trauma, Yama and the invisible Mu Cangsheng combined forces, causing the twenty thousand-strong army to lose eight to nine parts, leaving only ten thousand with vitality.

Such painstaking planning was naturally not just to diminish enemy forces. You must know, at this time, all three of Amaterasu were at their peak, while Yama was severely injured, potentially sacrificing both his and Mu Cangsheng's lives to accompany the Japanese army to their grave.

Exchanging nearly twenty thousand troops for the lives of two strongest, Amaterasu and his companions would laugh awake even in their dreams.

"Soul Analysis Dark Technique, soul, return."

A giant black banner appeared in the sky, absorbing all the souls who died at Yama's hands.

The Six Emperors suddenly appeared, thrusting a palm into the black banner, shattering countless souls, "Using these alien souls to accelerate Po Yun's Spiritual Sense reconstruction, it's certainly putting them to good use."

At this moment, the Human Emperor shattered nearly twenty thousand souls without changing his expression, demonstrating his ruthless nature, completely unconcerned that these were nearly twenty thousand lives.

To delve into the reason, it was still because of one "necessity."

As Qing Yu said, the core of Human Dao Will is ruthless and devoid of humanity. If sacrifices are necessary to save the majority, hesitation is not an option.

And the so-called minority and majority is actually a measurement of value. With equal value, the side with more individuals is naturally more valuable than the side with fewer.

In the eyes of the Six Emperors at this time, these nearly twenty thousand Japanese were not worth the value of even one Po Yun.

Of course, this also had factors related to the Human Emperor, who were all Central Plains ancestors, having little to do with Japan.

Japan was separated from the Central Plains by a sea, even the Dragon Vein converted and arranged by the Human Emperor could only barely reach Japan. With such distant relations, to expect the Human Emperor to be merciful is but a joke indeed.

However, precisely due to the distance, causing the Dragon Vein to only barely reach Japan, led to the birth of mythical beasts like Orochi, which could be said to be the Heavenly Dao revealing itself — every drink and peck is predetermined by heaven.

Enough idle talk.

Under the guidance of the Soul Analysis Dark Technique left by Po Yun, the Spiritual Sense initially only half reconstructed rapidly improved, successfully molded in a short time.

Within ten breaths, Po Yun's Spiritual Sense, once annihilated by the Sword God and Qing Yu, reincarnated anew.

"Soul, spirit, rise again. With heroic souls, cover the world."

Amidst chants like a ghost, Po Yun reincarnated again, entering the Battle Body.

The Seven Emperors as one.

"Boom——"

The sound of a heartbeat like a morning bell rang, bringing an intangible sense of dread.

The strength of the Seven Emperors was such that even the strongest dared not face it head-on.

However······

Suzan Ming Venerate's eyes held a deep yearning, his instincts told him, the person before him was an amalgam of Dragon Vein Qi, if he could devour him··· no, even half, would cause his strength to soar.

The temptation, was too great.

The mental state of the strongest is unfazed by beauty, unmoved by wealth, but the prospect of elevating one's strength burns more fiercely than in common folk.

The closer to the peak, the more one desires to stand atop it, Suzan Ming Venerate was like this, as were others.

However, a warrior remains a warrior. Though coveting strength, they can control their forbidden desires promptly.

The human heart is insatiable, desiring to swallow an elephant. Attempting to swallow an elephant is courting death. Even the legendary Ba Snake swallows only ordinary elephants; try having it swallow a divine elephant.

"Just wait, the moment is not mature······" Suzan Ming Venerate suppressed the wildfire within, murmuring silently.
