Chapter 174: Chapter 161: Is It Possible I’m Also a Master?

’Fighting these eco-creations is pointless. If I’m going to fight anyone, it should be Jiya!’

With this in mind, Wang Yi had Frank accelerate the Galaxy Airship, leaving the eco-army far below.

A moment later, the Galaxy Airship landed before a small mountain that resembled a giant, slumbering turtle. The mountain was covered in overgrown grass and shrubs, but not a single large tree, which made it look rather pleasant.

Wang Yi left the airship and approached the small mountain. He used a skill to probe it and found that the mountain had an absolute altitude of 189 meters and covered an area of 19 li. Its Refinement would require 1.26 million Chaos Energy!

’Only 1.26 million? A trivial amount. I’ll refine it!’

Just as Wang Yi was about to begin the Refinement of the barren mountain, a sharp CLANG rang out. Dozens of Iron Swords suddenly materialized around him, forming a cage that trapped him inside.

"As a Chaos Lord, you dare to venture out alone? My friend, aren’t you being a little careless!"

Xiang Tianchen approached with slow, deliberate steps. His left hand was clasped behind his back, while his right was held before him, thumb pressed against his index finger. As he walked, blades of wild grass lifted from the ground and swiftly transformed into one Iron Sword after another.

Those Iron Swords swam like fish, controlled by a mysterious power as they danced and circled around Xiang Tianchen.

Wang Yi frowned when he saw Xiang Tianchen.

"An Incarnation Divine!" Wang Yi’s expression was calm. "Brother, what is the meaning of this? We meet again only to be enemies?"

"The Eco-Dominator has given me an order. As long as I kill you, I can permanently possess this Incarnation! So please, do me a favor, Brother Wang. You have a system-granted resurrection, after all. Once you die, you’ll just return to your territory and can continue being a Chaos Lord!"

Wang Yi said, "But I can’t die. I still have a group of subordinates. What will happen to them if I’m gone?"

"They are destined to die! The Source Body has issued a kill order to the entire ecosystem. The whole world is your enemy. You have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Face reality!"

"But I’d like to struggle a little!"

"How can you struggle? I know you have powerful experts under your command. If you had brought them, killing you might have been difficult. But now you’re all alone. Do you really think you can escape with your life?"

Wang Yi’s expression remained calm. He didn’t flinch or dodge, but chuckled lightly. "Is it possible that I’m an expert myself?"

"You’re a Chaos Lord! What combat power could you possibly have? Alright, brother, let’s not waste any more time. Let me send you on your way! Don’t blame me. I just don’t want to be a Sufferer anymore."

With that, Xiang Tianchen stopped walking and gave a light wave of his arm. All the Iron Swords formed from the surrounding grass and wood immediately shot toward Wang Yi. But when they struck his body, they made a series of CLINKING and CLANKING sounds and were all sent flying back.

A golden light flashed between Wang Yi’s brows. Rock rapidly condensed around his body as the Great Toad Mountain God manifested. With a single charge, it sent a large number of the Iron Swords flying.

Slightly surprised, Xiang Tianchen stepped onto a sword to float in the air and retreated. At the same time, he fiercely pinched his thumb and index finger together. SHING SHING SHING SHING! A vast patch of wild grass beneath him instantly transformed into thousands of sharp swords, all of which flew toward Wang Yi.

The Great Toad Mountain God was expressionless. It leaped onto a mountain peak, and with a flash of light before it, nine Monkey Kings suddenly appeared.

Auspicious clouds formed under the feet of the nine Great Saints. They advanced side-by-side to meet the dense swarm of Iron Swords, each swinging their Golden Cudgel with lightning speed. They crushed the swords effortlessly, sending them shattering or flying backward.

In the blink of an eye, the nine Great Saints had closed in on the Iron Sword Immortal.

"Hmph, what kind of ability is this!"

Xiang Tianchen retreated abruptly. The Iron Swords that had been knocked away or scattered seemed to possess a will of their own, swiftly retreating along with him.

His retreat paused his attack, and the nine Monkey Kings pursued him on their auspicious clouds, swinging their cudgels to strike—a blow from the left, a blow from the right, one from overhead, a sweeping strike...

In the blink of an eye, Xiang Tianchen was smashed to the ground. He staggered backward, his feet leaving deep imprints in the earth. Even as he retreated, his hands continuously formed seals, causing more grass and trees to transform into Iron Swords that burst from the ground to attack the pursuing Monkey Kings.

SHING SHING SHING SHING...

The nine Monkey Kings swung their cudgels and smashed down, advancing unstoppably as they knocked aside and shattered the Iron Swords.

At that moment, Wang Yi, in his Great Toad Mountain God form, leaped over, intending to crush Xiang Tianchen directly with his massive body.

Seeing the desperate situation, Xiang Tianchen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and slapped his chest. With a BOOM, his entire body instantly transformed into a massive Iron Sword over twenty feet long. Pointed upward, it shot into the sky like a rocket.

"Where do you think you’re going, you fiend!"

The nine Monkey Kings shouted in unison and gave chase. Their Cloud Stepping Flight was faster than the Iron Sword’s Breaking the Sky speed. They quickly surrounded the giant sword and began to ferociously smash it with their cudgels.

In the space of just two or three breaths, the giant sword was beaten until it exploded with a roar, scattering into a red mist of blood.

Within the blood mist, Xiang Tianchen’s figure suddenly appeared—but there were ten of him. All were spitting blood, but they stood on Iron Swords and held Iron Swords in their hands. Nine of them went to engage the Monkey Kings, while the last one used Sword Control to fly straight for Wang Yi.

Wang Yi raised a giant, rocky palm, intending to swat away the charging Xiang Tianchen. But as Xiang Tianchen drew near, he suddenly swerved, shot away at extreme speed, and slashed open the metal hull of the Galaxy Airship with his sword.

He then turned back, charging toward Wang Yi with his Iron Sword in hand.

By this time, the nine Xiang Tianchens in the sky had all been blasted into nine clouds of blood mist. The nine Monkey Kings dove down, and their nine Golden Cudgels fell as one, viciously smashing down on Xiang Tianchen at the same time.

BOOM!

Xiang Tianchen’s body was directly blown apart into a mist of blood. With another swing of their Golden Cudgels, the nine Monkey Kings scattered even the mist!

But Xiang Tianchen’s voice echoed from the void: "I never thought a Chaos Lord like you would have combat abilities... but I’ve wrecked your airship. You can’t escape now. Once my injuries have healed, I’ll be back to kill you!"

"Hmph!"

Wang Yi snorted coldly. With a thought, a flash of light appeared before him, and a figure suddenly materialized.

The newcomer was none other than Ji Liangren.

Wang Yi had used Soul Summoning to forcibly pull him to his side.

Ji Liangren looked completely bewildered. A moment ago, he had been having fun in the A22 Ruins, completely unprepared to be suddenly teleported here.

"Dog Head, transform into the Dog God, activate Dog-headed God Tracking, and track down the Incarnation Divine, Xiang Tianchen. Once you find him, kill him!"

Wang Yi shouted lightly, and the Great Toad Mountain God he was controlling rushed toward the Galaxy Airship.

"Tracking? That I’m good at!"

Ji Liangren snapped to his senses and threw himself to the ground. With a POOF, he transformed into a magnificent black dog. He took a sniff, activated his Dogman Tracking skill, and immediately got a lead.

He flew behind a large rock and shouted, "You dare try to hide from your grandpa, the Dog God? Watch me use Dog-headed God’s Bite!"

With that, he used a Divine Skill. A phantom dog head the size of a giant elephant flew out from his body. The phantom shot forward twenty or thirty meters and then chomped down hard. It seemed to be biting at empty space, but with a CLANG, it bit down on a blood-soaked figure.

That blood-soaked figure was, of course, Xiang Tianchen.

A look of utter astonishment crossed his face as he said, "You actually... you actually..."

BOOM!

Xiang Tianchen couldn’t finish his words before his body exploded into a mist of blood within the giant phantom dog head’s mouth. This time, he was completely dead, and he even dropped two books.

"Ding! You have destroyed a Sub-King level Incarnation Divine and achieved a hidden accomplishment. Loot dropped: one Universal Experience Book, one [Reclassification Certificate of the Eco Sword Immortal]!"

Wang Yi received the system notification but had no time to check the loot. He dismissed the Great Toad Mountain God and walked up to the Galaxy Airship’s slashed outer hull, raising his fists to strike it.

"Wreck my airship? It’s not that easy! Love’s Iron Fist, repair it for me!"

Wang Yi violently hammered the Galaxy Airship with one punch after another, activating his No-Damage Attack. Bizarrely, under his ferocious assault, the Galaxy Airship’s outer hull began to visibly restore itself.

After just three minutes, the Galaxy Airship was actually as good as new!

’Not bad, not bad. If Love’s Iron Fist existed in the real world, I could definitely get rich running an appliance repair, car repair, or a general refurbishment business!’

Wang Yi nodded, then took out the Mysterious Pendant and a Hydra Helm before turning to walk toward Ji Liangren.
