Chapter 24 1 Burn it all down!
An hour later, the Fujian ship arrived at the sea area shrouded in thick fog.
The mist was strange, mixed with faint fluctuations of spiritual energy and a nauseating smell of blood.
It's just a smokescreen.
Any ship that mistakenly enters this place will lose its way in the fog and eventually run aground and sink.
"A trivial skill."
Zhu Zaiyi stood at the bow of the boat and snorted coldly.
He pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed through the air at the thick fog ahead.
An invisible sword aura shot out from the sky.
"Sizzle—!"
The thick, impenetrable fog was like a piece of cloth ripped open by a red-hot iron, instantly creating a huge gash.
Sunlight streamed in through the crack.
A huge, dark, barren island appeared before Zhu Zaiyi.
This is Black Wind Island, the stronghold of the Japanese pirates and the White Lotus Sect.
As soon as the formation was broken, a piercing alarm sounded on the island.
Countless samurai dressed in Japanese attire, along with some White Lotus sect members in white robes, rushed out from every corner of the island and gathered at the dock, looking at the lone Fujian ship that had intruded in with astonishment and uncertainty.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on the forbidden grounds of my Holy Sect!" a White Lotus Sect leader shouted, his voice stern but his voice weak.
Zhu Zaiyi was too lazy to waste words with them.
He took out a talisman from his sleeve.
Those were the "explosive talismans" that Zhu Di gave him when he went north; there are still a few left.
He infused a wisp of spiritual energy into the talisman and casually tossed it forward.
The thin yellow paper traced a golden arc in the air and slowly drifted toward the dock.
"Playing tricks! Fire arrows!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A dense rain of arrows shot towards the talisman.
However, all the arrows were deflected by an invisible force when they came within three feet of the talisman.
next moment.
The talisman landed on the dock.
boom!!!!
A deafening roar echoed through the sky!
The entire Blackwind Island seemed to tremble violently!
The intense flames and shockwaves engulfed the entire dock!
The dock, along with the hundreds of Japanese pirates and White Lotus sect members on it, vanished in an instant!
After the explosion, only a huge, bottomless crater remained.
Seawater is rushing in frantically.
On the island, the surviving Japanese pirates and White Lotus sect members were all terrified by this scene, which resembled the wrath of a god.
They collapsed to the ground, limp and exhausted...
What... what kind of sorcery is this?
What kind of weapon is this?
This is a power that no ordinary person could possess!
Zhu Zaiyi watched all of this with a blank expression.
The Fujian-style ship beneath his feet slowly approached the ruins of the bombed-out dock.
He disembarked and set foot on this island filled with sin.
He ignored the timid minions.
His divine sense had already locked onto the huge underground cavern hidden in the center of the island.
He walked step by step toward the entrance of the cave.
Along the way, all the Japanese pirates and White Lotus followers who saw him screamed in terror as if they had seen a ghost, scrambling to the sides to make way for him.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of a hidden cave.
At the entrance of the cave, two evil cultivators at the early stage of the Golden Core realm were guarding it.
They are peripheral members of the "Takeaway Alliance" and are responsible for guarding this area.
Upon seeing Zhu Zai-rui approaching, the two immediately became alert.
"Stop! Who are you?"
Zhu Zaiyi did not answer.
He simply raised his hand and grabbed at the two of them in mid-air.
"what!"
The two Golden Core evil cultivators felt an irresistible, immense force instantly gripping their throats.
Their bodies flew up uncontrollably and were grabbed by Zhu Zai Rui from a distance.
"The Alliance that seizes destiny?" Zhu Zaiyi's voice was icy cold.
"You...you're also a member of the alliance?" one of the evil cultivators asked with difficulty.
He could sense that the young man's cultivation level was unfathomable, far surpassing theirs.
"Answer my question." Zhu Zai Rui's hand tightened slightly.
"Yes...yes..." The other evil cultivator couldn't withstand the suffocating pressure and nodded hurriedly.
"Where is your leader?"
"Alliance Leader... the Alliance Leader's whereabouts are unknown, we... we don't know either..."
"Is that so?" A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhu Zai Rui's eyes.
It seems that even these peripheral members have limited knowledge.
Since that's the case, there's no point in keeping it.
He clenched his fists tightly.
"Snap!"
Two crisp cracking sounds rang out.
Those two Golden Core evil cultivators, who were powerful enough to roam freely outside, didn't even have time to utter a scream before their necks snapped to the side and they died on the spot.
Zhu Zaiyi tossed the two corpses aside like trash and strode into the cave.
At the end of the cave is that huge underground cavern.
Upon entering the cave, an overwhelming stench of blood and resentment immediately assaults the senses.
In the center of the cave, a huge altar made of countless white bones was emitting an eerie black light.
Below the altar, in the pool of blood, countless skeletons, not yet fully decomposed, floated up and down.
On the altar, a person dressed in a black robe and wearing a bronze mask sat cross-legged.
He seemed to be at a crucial moment in his cultivation, surrounded by a dense aura of black energy.
It was that mysterious person from the "Fortune-Stealing Alliance"!
He seemed to sense Zhu Zai-rui's arrival, his body trembled slightly, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
Beneath the mask, a pair of eyes filled with shock, anger, and murderous intent stared intently at Zhu Zaiyi.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on my dojo!" His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together.
"The one who killed you." Zhu Zai Rui's answer was simple and direct.
He didn't waste any more words.
He raised his right hand, and a ball of blue flame blazed up in his palm.
Samadhi Fire!
"go."
He flicked his finger.
The ball of blue flame transformed into a fire dragon, roaring with an aura that could incinerate everything, and lunged at the enormous altar of white bones.
"court death!"
The man in black robes roared and leaped up from the altar.
He formed a hand seal, and thick black energy surged from his body, transforming into a huge black skull that opened its mouth to meet the azure fire dragon.
However, in the face of the Samadhi Fire, these evil spells formed from resentment and death energy are utterly vulnerable.
The azure fire dragon pierced straight through the huge black skull and then slammed heavily into the bone altar!
"boom!"
Blue flames instantly engulfed the entire altar!
The evil altar, constructed from the bones and resentment of countless living beings, emitted a mournful wail as it was scorched by the Samadhi Fire.
Countless distorted, tormented phantoms of souls struggled to emerge from the altar, only to be instantly purified by the blue flames and reduced to nothingness.
"No—! My formation!"
The man in black robes watched as his altar, which he had painstakingly built over many years, was destroyed in an instant, and let out a desperate roar.
This altar was the foundation upon which he stole the fate of the Ming Dynasty!
With his foundation destroyed, all his years of hard work have gone down the drain!
"I kill you!"
The man in black robes went completely mad. He summoned a white bone banner, which stirred up a whirlwind of yin energy, and lunged at Zhu Zai Rui.
Zhu Zaiyi stood still, too lazy to move.
He merely raised his eyelids and glanced at the man in black robes.
"Certainly."
A single word, uttered softly.
The black-robed man who was rushing towards them with the force of thunder, along with the white bone banner in his hand and the swirling yin wind he stirred up, all froze in mid-air in that instant.
His cultivation level was only at the late Golden Core stage.
In front of Zhu Zaiyi, who had already achieved the Golden Core stage and was cultivating a top-tier technique like the "Human Emperor's World-Suppressing Scripture," he was no different from a three-year-old child.
Zhu Zaiyi walked step by step to him, reached out and removed the bronze mask from his face.
Beneath the mask was the face of a middle-aged man.
At this moment, his face was filled with endless fear and despair.
"Now, can you tell me exactly what your 'Fortune-Seizing Alliance' is?"
