Battle Royale of the Sinners-Chapter 530 Gan Ji, the Mad Demon Lord 3

Chapter 530 - Gan Ji, the Mad Demon Lord (3)

Transportation for Li Feihong was an easy job. He simply flew to the destination, sacrifice a few hundred thousand years of lifespan to open a thousand of dimensional gates for a few hours, then flew to another destination and repeat.

It took Li Feihong half a day to bring two legions from the Yi Province and Xiangyang to Jiangling, where Cao Cao had once used this place as their operation base before the Battle of Chibi.

Still, Li Feihong was confused about why Diaochan didn't allow him to send these soldiers behind the line of Sun Ce's troops. They could have ambushed them and destroyed their bases.

Li Feihong: "Can I send them inside Jianye and wreck everything?"

Again, Li Feihong asked Diaochan, hoping that she could approve his idea.

Diaochan: "Negative. Gan Ji is going to destroy them with his system skills and turn them to zombies. We'll leave these men to fight on their own battle while all of our 8-wing personal will handle Gan Ji."

Li Feihong sighed in disappointment. Diaochan was afraid of Gan Ji's system skills that she became overly cautious like Tong.

Still, being cautious was better than being reckless. Limiting casualty in wars was never wrong.

Li Feihong: "Okay, then. I've brought them to Jiangling as ordered. What's next?"

Diaochan: "Drop off all your officers in your dimension in Jiangling, except Ma Chao, Zhang Min, Zhang Ying, Xu Shu, Lu Lingqi, Sima Lang, Sima Yi, Sima Fu, and Liu Bei. Don't you kill Liu Bei, or we'll be in trouble."

Li Feihong: "I know. I saw his true soul. BTW, how the heck has his soul become like that?"

Diaochan: "That's probably Lilith or Lilim's doing. Any 10-wing demon can transform a sinner with negative karma into a monster, so she might have tampered Liu Ping's soul."

Diaochan was half-correct. Lilim destroyed Liu Ping's soul when she succeeded in her mother's job. However, she forcefully severed the chains of karma between him and Tong, which ended up tampering Liu Ping's soul in the process.

It created an unusual karma knot that couldn't be released normally. Only Tong and Lilim could solve Liu Ping's monster curse issue, but the two hadn't realized this yet.

Soon, this prolonged karma knot would haunt them.

Diaochan: "Well, be sure to remind Zhang Min not to use curse skills on herself or on you. If you have a baby while you're on lust curse or something related to sexual desire, your child might come out as a monster. This accident usually happens in Hell, so don't you turn this world into a monster paradise, okay? Until one of us gets our 10th wing, keep Liu Bei alive."

Currently, Liu Bei was being held in Li Feihong's dimension as a prisoner of war. This former warlord always begged Li Feihong for his forgiveness whenever the latter visited them.

Li Feihong also wanted to free Liu Bei, but he was afraid of Liu Ping's monster soul. Had Liu Bei gotten himself killed, Liu Ping might be reincarnated as someone's child and he might come back to haunt their kingdom later on.

For the sake of precaution, Li Feihong trapped him here and forced him to cultivate some lifespan, hoping that this counterpart of himself could change for the better.

Li Feihong: "Gotcha. I'll rush to Lujiang ASAP. BTW, how's Liu Yang?"

Diaochan: "She has recovered somewhat, but she won't be any use for future battle against Gan Ji. I need you to replace her here."

In the sky above the destroyed Guangling City, Gan Ji was monitoring his undead soldiers.

The zombies and walking skeletons crawled and staggered toward Shouchun at a slow pace. The entire troops could only travel 5 to 10 kilometers a day even though they didn't rest or sleep.

This was their full speed, which was a downside of this army.

The necromancy system skill that Gan Ji had was similar to the combo skill of Sun Fang. Sub-skills with various usage could be unlocked at a higher level.

Necromancy: Undead Awakening

Necromancy: Bone Reconstruction

Necromancy: Berserk Blessing

Necromancy: Undead Plague

Necromancy: Corpse Explosion

Necromancy: Soul Harvest

Necromancy: Soul Injection

Necromancy: Remote Soul Detonation

Necromancy: Dead Ascension

Necromancy: Flesh of Doom

The first subskill was already deadly on its own as it could create undead soldiers from dead bodies. Bone Reconstruction could reanimate mutilated corpses into a complete undead, and Berserk Blessing could rejuvenate the animated corpses and enhance their abilities.

Undead Plague was a disaster that could cause an apocalypse as they spread undead viruses. Corpse Explosion was as its name as they turned dead bodies or undead creatures into explodable weapons.

Soul Harvest, Soul Injection, and Soul Detonation were taboo skills that could threaten weak immortals. By using the combination of these soul manipulation abilities, they could use local souls as anti-immortal grenades.

And Gan Ji had already stored 300,000 souls for this reason!

But that was not the strongest arsenal of this necromancy skillset!

Dead Ascension could bestow sentience to the animated undead soldiers while Flesh of Doom could combine undead creatures into a new being, which could become anything but a normal living animal. If Gan Ji gave a soul to it, a bio-organic weapon might be born.

These ten subskills were a threat of humanity and even immortals, which was why Zuo Ci decided to kill the creator of this system skill before he grew up.

However, Zuo Ci wouldn't have dreamt that Lilim had given Gan Ji this system skill to help Sun Ce.

Fortunately, Medusa came to this dimension late. She had seen the broadcast show in Heaven and memorized all otherworlder skills before she reincarnated in this world.

Because of her awareness and memory, she was busy blocking Gan Ji from heading toward the central plain and other provinces.

Currently, she was floating 500 meters in front of Gan Ji, harassing this old man as usual.

Liu Yang didn't come this time since she dragged Medusa down. The latter ordered Liu Yang to concentrate on self-recovering, so they could fight Gan Ji and Cao Cao's goons together afterward.

Diaochan looked relax despite the threat of Gan Ji's system skills and his cultivation strength. Several private messages floated around her, but she answered all officers' questions with ease.

"You seem relaxed, my devil princess," Gan Ji mocked Medusa, "I heard that Morning Star treats you like his daughter. I'm jealous of you."

Medusa rolled her eyes, "You haven't even been in the Netherworld. That's none of your business."

"Oh, your highness. Every demonic cultivator has to learn about your fame and your father's prestige. Your father is the true founder of this cultivation system, not the creator, so we have to honor our benefactor."

Medusa closed all communication windows and glared at Gan Ji. This old sage had touched a secret that only a handful of immortals in Heaven and Hell knew, "Did Lilim tell you?"

"Of course! Who else?"

"I see. That's the more reason that I can't let you live!"

Medusa disappeared from where she was flying and teleported behind Gan Ji. A steel spear in her hand punctured through Gan Ji's back and exited his chest.

However, she immediately pulled back her spear and flew away 2 kilometers within a split second.

*BOOM*

Gan Ji's body exploded, but Medusa didn't let down her guard. She thrust her spear at her left side, targeting nothing but thin air.

Yet…

*CLANK*

Gan Ji's transparent body manifested as Medusa's weapon hit his canes.

"That's my 15th cloned body today. How many more do you have to kill to be satisfied, your highness?"

"Until all 300,000 souls and your lifespan are exhausted."

"That might take years, your highness. After you otherworlders have come here, I've been doing nothing but cultivating lifespans. Not gonna lie, I still have 500 million years remaining."

That was a straight bluff from Gan Ji. In reality, he had less than 100,000 years left, but he could use a demonic art to replenish his lifespan by consuming the harvested souls.

Each soul could be converted into 100 years of lifespan. Gan Ji had 30 million years in his pockets as a backup.

Obviously, Medusa didn't believe Gan Ji, "I'll see through it if it's real or not."

Medusa's superior martial art broke Gan Ji's aura-coated canes, and her spear punctured through his brain.

One more time, she fled away after she killed Gan Ji. She believed that this was a clone.

*BOOM*

The body exploded. That wasn't an ordinary explosion that she could withstand.

'Another soul detonation.'

Gan Ji had many weaknesses. One was his cloning skill, which could only create one copy of himself at a time. Moreover, he had to be in the range of 3 kilometers of his clone or the skill would be canceled.

Secondly, remote soul detonation of Gan Ji's necromancy skill activated only one soul, and it had a long cooldown timer of 5 minutes. As a result, Gan Ji had to summon his soul to activate the detonation, which revealed his true body.

'There!'

Medusa found Gan Ji's life signature and flew after him.

Gan Ji also flew away and canceled his camouflage form, but he wasn't fast enough to evade Medusa's sense.

*CLANK*

Gan Ji's real body parried Diaochan's spear. Although he was at a disadvantage, his mocking sneer was still on his face.

"CORROSIVE TOUCH!! TRUE STRIKE!"

The same skill that almost killed Liu Yang appeared once more.

Medusa's wings glowed. She dashed backward and dodged the attack with ease, but her weapon disintegrated because of the corrosion skill.

Moreover, the attack gave Gan Ji enough time to get away from Medusa. He cloned himself and became invisible again.

'This is troublesome, but I have to buy time for Li Feihong and Liu Yang. Once they got here, we can finish this quick.'

Medusa activated [Firearm Creation] and created an AK47. She continued to chase after Gan Ji and occupied him in a dog fight combat.

.

Li Feihong returned to Lujiang. Rushing to finish his job, he opened his portals and distribute food supply to the main legions in the city. It took him an entire day to complete his tasks.

At night, he visited Liu Yang, who was in the middle of self-recovery. He didn't come here for lewd stuff like Tong. But instead, he came here to help this goddess candidate.

Liu Yang was lying on her bed as if she was sleeping. However, in reality, she was cultivating and converted available life essence to heal herself.

Liu Yang's pale face revealed the seriousness of her injury. Her physical wounds had been treated, but the corrosion skill effect was dire. Her former wound could act up any time had Liu Yang lost her focus.

"I'm here to help. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Liu Yang opened her eyes and glanced at Li Feihong, "Bless me with every virtuous souls you have. You've got 9 wings, so you're stronger than me."

"Alright."

Li Feihong proceeded to heal Liu Yang in earnest.

During the process, Liu Yang sighed, "[I'm sorry for everything.]"

It was not an ordinary apology. Liu Yang used her immortal words to demonstrate her sincerity.

Li Feihong could sense that the other one of his karma knots had been released, but the chains between him and Liu Yang were still there.

"What for?"

"For messing with the trail. All of you are supposed to play a single-player game, but I made all of you join the battle royale game."

Li Feihong took a deep breath. It would be a lie if Li Feihong said that he wasn't angry.

Yet, Li Feihong empowered his voice and amended for her evil deed.

"[I forgive you for whatever you did to me. I also want to thank you for giving me the chance to repent for what I did to Tong.]"

All karma knots between Liu Yang and Li Feihong disappeared. Both sides could sense that their cultivation base grew stronger.

Li Feihong was a step closer to his 10th wing, but the oath he had with Medusa stopped him from his advancement. Until Medusa got her 10th wing, Li Feihong could not grow stronger.

On the other hand, Liu Yang's injury became easier to manage. She was 90% ready to breakthrough and get her 9th wing. Only a few preparations were needed.

The two grinned and snickered. Letting go of their past hatred was the right choice.

"I'm going to help Medusa at Guangling. Rest well, sister-in-law," Li Feihong stood up and left.

Liu Yang didn't say anything. She sat up and focused cultivating, planning to get her 9th wing within this week.

.

.

.

Li Feihong got to where Medusa and Gan Ji were fighting. As usual, he hid in his dimension.

Li Feihong: "I'm ready. Give me a signal when you need help."

After sending the private message, Li Feihong waited for an opportunity to ambush Gan Ji.

Diaochan: "Send me blessings and transfer our clan's lifespan pool to me."

Diaochan: "Don't come out. Gan Ji is using remote soul detonation."

…

The duel between Medusa and Gan Ji went on.
