Chapter 404 The True Martial Stone Coffin
"Heavenly Ghost General Yuan Tiangang is here!" Yuan Tiangang, leading seven Heavenly Ghost Generals, appeared instantly beside Lin Fei at his call.
Originally, Yuanzhen, Qin Zhongshan, and the other two had a three-on-one advantage in terms of numbers, but in an instant, the tide turned and Lin Fei summoned eight people, overwhelming the three of them in numbers.
These eight people are Lin Fei's biggest trump card, and even more so than the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.
Although the Xuanyuan Divine Sword is powerful, Lin Fei's current cultivation level is only at the second level of the Dharma Aspect realm. Even with the help of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat three experts of the same level in a short time. If time drags on and others arrive, Lin Fei's situation will become even more unfavorable.
Therefore, he directly summoned the Heavenly Dao Ghost General Yuan Tiangang and seven Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers composed of successive heads of the Yuan family, intending to capture the three of them in one fell swoop.
These seven Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers, though not yet fused with the divine positions of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, are already top-tier beings within the Dharma Aspect realm. If they were to fuse with the divine positions of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, not only would the three before them be no match for them, but even the Demon Master and the Divine Monk of Salvation would likely only be able to flee for their lives.
As Lin Fei's Heavenly Ghost General, Yuan Tiangang's strength far surpasses that of the Dharma Aspect Realm. Although he lacks a physical form and cannot truly unleash the power of the Celestial Realm, he still overwhelmingly dominates those at the Dharma Aspect Realm.
"Yuan Tiangang? That name sounds familiar?" The monk Xuankong of Leiyin Temple looked puzzled when Yuan Tiangang introduced himself. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he pointed at Yuan Tiangang, his mouth agape in astonishment, stammering, "Yuan... Yuan Tiangang? The ancient Chinese sage Yuan Tiangang?"
At the same time, Yuanzhen stared at one of the seven Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers, his jaw nearly dropping in astonishment: "That's... the previous patriarch of the Yuan family, Yuan Yuanshan, the Heavenly Eye Observer? Wasn't he already dead? How could he be here?"
Yuan Yuanshan was a renowned figure in his lifetime, ranking above Xuan Kong Monk and Yuan Zhen on the Tiger List. The three of them were startled to see the long-dead Yuan Yuanshan suddenly appear.
What terrified them even more was that the leader called himself "Yuan Tiangang." They should know that the ancient saints were all beings at the Celestial Realm, and they were not people they could contend with.
"I didn't expect anyone would still recognize me." Yuan Tiangang chuckled as he saw the monk Xuankong pointing at him. "The ancient sages are long gone. Now, only the Heavenly Ghost General Yuan Tiangang remains. Which of you three wants to come up and test my skills?"
As Lin Fei's Heavenly Dao Ghost General, Yuan Tiangang's current strength is far from comparable to his peak strength in life, but it is enough to deal with several people at the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Not to mention that behind Yuan Tiangang, there are seven Heavenly Ghost Soldiers composed of successive heads of the Yuan family.
"It really is Yuan Tiangang, the ancient sage!" Upon hearing this, Monk Xuankong's heart sank. "This kid is truly hiding his true strength, even able to revive an ancient sage. It seems he will be a great enemy of our Buddhist sect sooner or later. I must go back and have my abbot prepare!"
Thinking of this, Monk Xuankong cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Yuan Tiangang from afar and said, "Amitabha, it was my rudeness that the Sage has descended. Since the Sage has personally come today, this True Martial Treasure is probably not something that others can covet. I will take my leave now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the monk Xuan Kong transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.
The monk was pragmatic. Seeing Yuan Tiangang appear, he knew that there was probably no chance today, and he was unwilling to stay here any longer. Fearing that he would not run fast enough and be left behind by Lin Fei, he hurriedly ran away.
"Young Emperor, should we keep him here?" Seeing that Monk Xuankong was making a quick getaway, Yuan Tiangang turned to Lin Fei and asked. With his abilities, keeping Monk Xuankong and the other two here would not be difficult.
"No need, let him go!" Lin Fei shook his head and said.
Leaving these three people here is certainly possible, but Lin Fei cannot be sure if they have any other means to pass on information before they die.
Killing these three would be easy, but the forces behind them are not to be underestimated. One is a Buddhist leader, another a major Taoist sect, and the third a leader of an evil sect. If these three were killed and their backers found out, the Southern Tang Kingdom would likely become the target of all major sects in the land, a pariah of everyone.
Although Lin Fei's strength has greatly increased, he will not be so arrogant as to wage war against Buddhism, Taoism, and evil sects at the same time.
Sooner or later, he will surely eliminate all other forces and bring the entire land of China under his imperial power, but now, it is too early.
Lin Fei's current target is only the Human Reincarnation Stele in the True Martial Emperor's stone coffin on the mountain. As for these three guys, they ran away, so what? It doesn't have much impact on Lin Fei.
Lin Fei looked up at the other two and said with a sneer, "What, are you two going to leave, or stay here and experience my skills?"
"Damn that stinking monk, he ran away fast!" Qin Zhongshan cursed inwardly. He had been wanting to fight Lin Fei. Even if he couldn't win, he still had trump cards to ensure his safe escape. But now that Monk Xuankong was gone, and Yuanzhen seemed to be having second thoughts, Qin Zhongshan, though confident, wasn't foolish enough to throw his life away.
As expected, before Qin Zhongshan could speak, Yuanzhen said from the side, "You're quite lucky, kid. But even if you get your hands on the True Martial Emperor's treasure, it won't be so easy to use! I'm afraid the heroes of the world won't let you live so carefree!"
"There's no need for Uncle Yuanzhen to worry about that!" Lin Fei said expressionlessly, "If Uncle Yuanzhen doesn't leave quickly, don't blame your nephew for showing no mercy and killing you right here!"
Yuanzhen was furious at being threatened by the disciple he once disliked the most, but the situation was beyond his control; he was clearly no match for Lin Fei now. Lin Fei's rapid growth had probably exceeded most people's expectations.
"Fine, let's see how long you can keep up your swagger!" Yuanzhen snorted coldly, his body transforming into a streak of light and quickly disappearing from the spot.
"Li, we'll settle this sooner or later," Qin Zhongshan said through gritted teeth. With that, a surge of black energy erupted from the Demon Emperor's claws, and when it dissipated, his figure had vanished without a trace.
After the three disappeared, no one else appeared for a long time.
At this moment, only Lin Fei remained in this place, with no other competitors. Lin Fei then seized the time and hurried towards the direction where the True Martial Emperor's stone coffin was located at the mountaintop.
