Chapter 176: Stepping into My Gate of Life and Death

>It's just that both sides of the scouts were negligent, and the creatures in the center of the battlefield should have fled for their lives long ago.

As soon as a person enters the forest, birds are startled and beasts run away.

Moreover, with a massive army pressing in, the aura of death was overwhelming.

However, in the center of the Akita County battlefield, there was a strange third party present. Both sides' scouts deliberately avoided this place.

A ghastly white smoke, like a cloud beast, drifts from the Cangfeng city domain all the way here. Anyone or any creature who stumbles into it vanishes without a trace.

Of course, in fact, it was forced here by Yang Jiande's large army.

An army of 210,000 troops marched from Hengyang County into Chiwei County, traveling from northwest to southeast. Even the White Bone Dao Saint Lord had to make way for them.

Both parties maintained a subtle distance.

And so, the scene that now dominates the battlefield came to be.

Pallid white smoke billowed, and the Bone Path Holy Master floated within it.

The two cities adjacent to it, one was garrisoned by Yang Jiande, and the other was directly razed to the ground by Chong Xuan Chul Liang.

Between the two armies, there was only a thirty-li buffer zone. On a battlefield dominated by extraordinary powers, this hardly constituted a safe distance.

> War could begin at any time.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the very clouds in the sky were scattered by the murderous aura.

And the pale, ghastly smoke in the center of the battlefield looked like clouds had fallen to earth - though it was rather too gruesome a sight.

In the midst of smoke, there was a song being sung, its voice extremely mournful, circulating back and forth.

Among the ranks of the Allied forces, Chong Xuan frequently glanced at Jiang Wang.

Ever since he heard the voice, Jiang Wang's expression had been frozen, unchanging. Only his hand gripping the sword was pale with strained knuckles.

Such a Jiang Wang was unlike any he had ever seen.

Such resolute killing intent is almost impossible to conceal.

However, in the midst of a large army, it was not a time for idle chatter. He could only stand silently in the ranks, waiting for the commander's orders.

Zhong Xuan Zhu Liang stared intently, listening to the song of Bai Gu Wu Sheng.

This spell was cast by the old Taoist priest Bai Gu, Lu Yan, while guarding the White Bone Dao Saint Master.

The fundamental scripture of the White Bone Dao is the *White Bone Non-Birth Sutra*. Just from its name, one can see the significance this text holds for the White Bone Dao.

At first, in Fenglin City, Lu Yan used this song to guide the Wusheng Wu Mie formation. As for now, he is using the Yang Kingdom's precarious national furnace to control the "fire" for Bai Gu Dao Saint Master.

“If there was even a sliver of hope for the Yang nation, Yang Jiande wouldn't have been biding his time for so many years. I didn't give him an opportunity to break through, and he certainly wasn't willing to give me a chance for a decisive battle.”

...Zhong Xuan was seemingly sighing to himself: "This is the variable he has been waiting for."

Yang Jiande never gave up his advantageous terrain for this. Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang marched step by step, pushing forward all the way. Yang Jiande had no territorial advantage at all, and the Qiu Sha army did not have a stable foothold.

“Unbeknownst to him, the General was also waiting for this very moment!” Taiantai, a retainer of Oze from Tadazane-no-kami, flattered.

Zhong Xuan Zhu Liang only tapped it lightly, and it already became very docile.

To many, this battle was a foregone conclusion. They were just along for the ride, reaping the rewards without putting in any effort. If they were to be cast aside now, there wouldn't even be anywhere to cry.

Chong Xuan's temper wasn't such that he would dwell on the insults of his subordinates. In matters of military discipline, punishment settled things.

“Our army is determined to eradicate the Yang Domain, but that doesn't mean it's the only outcome we seek. This plague of mutated creatures is indeed troublesome. Once those fiends have absorbed all the miasma…”

Zhong Xuan and Zhu Liang were casually chatting when suddenly...

"To tread upon my gates of life and death, to wear my black and white cloth."

"Kill my past thoughts, and take me to meet the people of the time!"

“Kill my old intentions, send me to the time of people…”

>

The "White Bone Unborn Song" suddenly changed slightly, repeating the last phrase once more, the tone ethereal and wavering.

Zhong Xuanchu and Liang directly ended the topic and stood up.

Form your battle lines!

Under his command, the generals each led their troops. For a moment, the soldiers were as numerous as a dragon's whirlwind.

Zhong Xuan Sheng, having successfully dismantled the threat of the Rizhao County earlier, was also granted command of a five-thousand-strong army. Jiang Wang and Shi Si stood guard on either side of him.

And Chong Xuan Chu Liang himself went directly past the front army, leading the charge, and dashed into the midst of that ghastly white smoke.

Just as he rushed in, the smoke suddenly dispersed!

The skeletal face of the rabbit within the smoke, Elder Lu Yan and Lord Bai Gu Dao who were both white-boned Taoists, were all exposed before both armies.

The rabbit's eyes turned red almost immediately, without a moment's hesitation, and it shot away horizontally.

Among the Yang army ranks, a young general had just raised his large bow when he was stopped by a white-haired veteran beside him: "In the face of a great enemy, do not waste any strength."

As the Rabbit Face fled, the White Bone Dao Saint Lord, who had always been expressionless, suddenly turned his head and stared at Lu Yan with his indifferent eye.

Likewise, Lu Yan who was flying in the other direction, responded with his eyes closed: "Great as you are, you should understand that I have taken in starlight into my body. Your taint cannot affect me."

"Why"

The Bone Saint Lord questioned with a voice that was unsettlingly calm, simultaneously controlling his physical body to soothe the writhing masses of flesh. With an almost mechanical stillness, he turned, extending a fist.

Visually so slow, yet in reality wonderfully masterful, against the swiftly charging Zhu Liang of Heavy Xuan, a counter-strike!

With two people fighting with fists in the air as the center.

A massive shockwave erupted in all directions, even reaching the distant Lu Yan and sending a powerful jolt through him, leaving him awestruck!

Judging from the appearance of the White Bone Saint Lord, it seems that he is about to succeed. If we are a step too late and allow him to completely refine his body and achieve the incarnation of plague, he will be able to exert the power of a god descending. The consequences would be unimaginable.

"There's no need to hide it, Bái Gǔ! You are no longer Wáng Chángjī!"

Lu Yan still flew backward with his eyes closed, "You watch over me in the Netherworld, making me worship you as a god. You said that if I offered sincerely, I could find my deceased wife!"

But how many years have passed I've poured my heart and soul into reviving Bai Gu Dao, bringing a decaying sect back from the ashes.

But you promised me something, didn't you

The White Bone Lord's refining of the Plague Avatar was at its final stage. He still held back from them, informing them that they had seven breaths before completion, while in reality, it only took three breaths.

He believed that the formation of no birth and no death, laid down with plague qi, death qi, and pestilent national qi, could at least hold back an attack for five breaths.

But unexpectedly, Lu Yan issued the notice ten breaths earlier than expected! This notice was not directed at any one party in particular, but informed both Zhong Xuan, Chu Liang, and Yang Jiande simultaneously.

Whoever makes a move can stop the White Bone Holy Master's final step.

And he had tampered with the No-Birth-No-Death Formation beforehand, to the point where it didn't exert any effect at all. This allowed Chong Xuan and Chu Liang to get close to him immediately.

As the White Bone Saint Lord defended against Chong Xuan Zhu Liang's attack, she replied, "I said, wait for me to recover my divine power."

“You have divine power to forge plague avatars, is there no extra divine power to seek out an ordinary soul” Lu Yan’s emotions were on full display, his face contorted in rage. “Even if you are a deity, you cannot… toy with me like this!”

He spoke, his eyes suddenly opening!

Those hollow eyes, devoid of any whites, stared straight at the Bone Saint Lord.

A flesh sac on the Bai Gu Sheng Zhu's body suddenly exploded. Because of this, His form wasn't hindered and managed to exchange three punches with Chong Xuan and Chu Liang.

>Every punch it took caused Its body to sway. It wasn't the swaying of unsteady footing, but rather a trembling like a container filled with water, the "water" sloshing inside.

At the same time, Lu Yan let out a muffled groan, as if struck hard.

And "shaking" Bai Gu Sheng Zhu was still speaking to Lu Yan: “Stay and help me. Be absolved of your sin.”

By this time, His speech had become 'normal', even with inflections.

"Without me, you will never see her!"

In the distance, Lu Yan had already closed his eyes again, fresh blood winding down from the corner of his eye.

But he turned around without hesitation.

“I shall go myself, and trouble you no further!”
