Zhong Kui's Diary
At this moment, the golden orb in my hand seemed to come back to life, beginning to emit a hazy golden mist. In that instant, I was transported into a very familiar space.
This was a space engulfed in flames, with roaring fire surrounding me from all directions, even above me. About three meters away, I could feel the suffocating heat. For a moment, it felt as if I were inside a Furnace.
Accompanying the sound of the flames burning, there seemed to be thousands of Vengeful Spirits screaming madly, as if countless Vengeful Spirits were being roasted in the fire alongside me.
Damn, I have entered the Blazing Barrier Space of the Ice, Fire, Wind, and Thunder Fourfold Profound Realm again.
"What is happening?!" I shouted. At the same time, I felt anxious because I had not consumed the Fire Spirit Pearl and lacked the powers of Qingcheng. If another Wildfire Spell hit me like last time, I would undoubtedly perish.
"You have reactivated the Blazing Barrier with a pure energy of the earth." The authoritative voice from my memory sounded again, but this time it was no longer imposing; instead, it carried a playful tone: "Moreover, because your energy is so pure, my fiery space has honorably upgraded."
"Upgraded?" I exclaimed. I could understand pure energy; after all, it was from the Book of Life and Death, which must contain pure energy. But what did upgrading mean?
"Haven't you ever played an Online Game? You don't know about leveling up? After accumulating a certain amount of Experience Points, you will level up with a sound like 'biu,' or maybe 'iu,' or even 'piu'..." The voice chattered on.
"Shut up!" I commanded.
"Yes, my master!"
"What did you call me?"
"Master?" The voice replied weakly: "Originally, after you broke the Restriction, this space fell into slumber. Now that you have reactivated the Blazing Barrier, you naturally become the master of this space. Can't you see that my speech now carries your style?"
"Damn, do I really sound that slick?" I couldn't care less about that at the moment and asked, "What's this upgrade about?"
"Well, according to your classification of Spell, my Level was originally Master-Level, and now I've upgraded to Grandmaster Level," the voice replied happily.
"I see... What benefits do I get from becoming your master?" I asked again.
"Benefits? The biggest benefit is that I can help you fight. If you see someone you don't like, just throw me at them. Unless they can break through my Grandmaster Level space, otherwise, heh heh, if they touch a Transcendent Being, they're definitely dead!" the voice chuckled ominously.
I've hit the jackpot; I smiled so wide my eyes turned into slits. "That's great! Uh... but it seems a bit unsafe? What if my friends accidentally run into you?"
"That's easy. You can set up a code with me. When you want me to come out, just give the signal, and I'll open the space!" the voice laughed.
"Oh, like that... Alright, I'll give you a name. Since you're fire-type, I'll call you Firebird. From now on, whenever I shout 'Burn, Firebird!' it means I want you to open the Mystical Realm to help me fight!" I nodded with a grin.
"No problem! I'll keep the Mystical Realm closed most of the time. If you want to come in and chat, just hold onto the golden orb and meditate. Only when it's time to fight should you shout 'Burn, Firebird'... uh, Firebird sounds a bit strange. Can I have a different name?"
"How about calling me Turkey instead?"
"Let's stick with Firebird!"
...
After chatting with Firebird for a bit longer, it sent me out of the space.
Back in the warehouse, everything looked just as it had before I entered. I still felt nothing below my head, but the golden orb in my hand had returned to its original form as the golden mist dissipated.
"Hey, why can't I move?"
"Hey! Why can't I move?" I shouted loudly at Tang Seng. "Is your spell expired?"
"Zheng Nan, you're too naive. Did you really think I called you here just to activate the formation?" A rich smirk appeared on Tang Seng's face.
"So you mean, you want me to witness the moment of a miracle?"
"The spell you recited is actually a catalyzing spell. It allows your Yin-Yang Physique to interact with the Yin-Yang Energy from the Book of Life and Death. In this way, you and the Book of Life and Death become a large container, a big vessel filled with Yin-Yang Energy." Tang Seng clicked his tongue and frowned. "How can I describe it to you? Right, have you ever had Braised Pork? You are like a big bowl of Braised Sauce right now, and these formations are like the Braised Pork and marinated eggs. To make it into a finished product, all you need to do is use the formation to marinate yourself."
"I can't believe you would use such a crude metaphor!" My neck couldn't turn, and I had no idea what Kong Xuan was going through right now. Damn it, I'm in this situation, and you're still waiting for evidence?
"Whether it's crude or not doesn't matter; your value lies here." Tang Seng sneered, then looked puzzled. "Huh? What's going on? Shouldn't the formation turn deep purple after activation? Why is it still like this?"
"It seems like you know a lot about formations," I scoffed.
"No need to know much; I just need to know that the formation in your hand hasn't succeeded!" Tang Seng shook his head with a sigh and bent down to pick up a half-finished Golden Sphere Array, walking towards me.
"Hey, at least you should give my formation a try; it's still my hard work, right?" Since I had no feeling below my head, I couldn't smash the Blazing Barrier Space in my hand onto Tang Seng. Moreover, it was obvious that this Blazing Barrier Space was just a sphere; without hands or feet, it wouldn't jump onto Tang Seng by itself.
Given that, I could only hope that Tang Seng would take the golden sphere from my hand so that I could activate the Blazing Barrier and upgrade it into Grandmaster's Firebird... It shouldn't be too difficult to take down Tang Seng.
Unexpectedly, Tang Seng chuckled darkly. "Yours hasn't even turned deep purple; it must have malfunctioned. I have so many half-finished products in my hand; why bother with a useless one?"
With that, he touched me with the formation. The moment the golden sphere made contact with my left hand, brilliant purple light erupted. In this purple light, I saw the color of the sphere gradually deepen—golden, red, purple—then it turned deep purple. A mist swirled around the surface of the sphere, which became crystal clear and transparent, resembling a purple crystal ball used for divination in Western magic.
At the same time, I felt some sensation returning to my left hand, sensing a large amount of energy surging through it. Damn, this Rain of Swords formation has finally been activated by me.
In a moment of desperation, I grabbed the Book of Life and Death and pressed it directly against Tang Seng. Taking advantage of the slight sensation in my left hand, I was determined to use the Book of Life and Death to kill you!
Tang Seng seemed taken aback that I could still move. He didn't react in time, and by the time he regained his senses, the Book of Life and Death was almost touching his arm. He let out a strange cry as his arm suddenly changed color. With a sound like "empty," the Book of Life and Death made contact with his arm, producing a sound like wood. Surprisingly, Tang Seng did not turn into an ice statue nor was he burned to charcoal.
"Are you Yin-Yang Physique?" I asked in astonishment.
"Hmph, if I were Yin-Yang Physique, would I need to come find you? I'm also a Grandmaster-level Expert. Although I can't wield the energy of the Book of Life and Death, resisting it is still no problem," Tang Seng snorted coldly before retreating, while I returned to being completely immobile.
"Ah!" A scream came from beside me; it was Guo'er... uh, Hua Wuqiu's voice.
"Flower Attacker!" Hua Wuqiu shouted loudly. "You are Flower Attacker!"
Tang Seng coldly snorted, "Wuqiu, this is none of your business. Stop babbling!"
I was equally astonished; this Tang Seng turned out to be Flower Attacker. Was there anything more absurd than this? Wasn't Flower Attacker supposed to be possessed? Then again, Hua Wuqiu wouldn't mistake someone for another person, and this Tang Seng's magical power seemed far superior to Kong Xuan and others. At the very least, he could resist the energy from the Book of Life and Death.
Then it hit me: when Tang Seng went to Flower Attacker's house, they had never appeared on screen together. Damn, this Tang Seng really could be Flower Attacker. His main purpose for doing this was aimed at me; knowing that Hua Wuqiu had a big mouth, he simply kept her in the dark as well.
I cursed inwardly; with this situation, not only was Flower Attacker's spell at Grandmaster Level, but his combat power was also peak-level. Who among us could possibly contend with someone like that?
Flower Attacker tossed the activated purple-gold sphere—the Rain of Swords Formation—and walked toward Satellite.
"Kong Xuan, act quickly!" I couldn't care less about anything else and shouted loudly, "This formation has already been activated!"
Kong Xuan called out, "Make your move!" Then there was the sound of fighting, and I couldn't tell who Kong Xuan was battling; it was likely either Sima Sanguang or Sha Monk.
At the same time, a ripple like water flashed across the massive Metal Plate in front of us, which suddenly vanished into thin air, revealing dozens of Special Forces soldiers armed with heavy weapons. In the center stood an old man with white hair and a silver beard, imposing and dignified. The first thought that crossed my mind was that this person must be Xiao Qingcheng's grandfather.
The soldiers surged forward, quickly aiming their dark gun barrels at several people in the arena, including me. The old man also moved into the arena, appearing slow but actually swift.
The sounds of fighting ceased. Although I couldn't see what was happening, I could guess with certainty that Sima Sanguang and Sha Monk wouldn't dare to resist in front of such heavy weaponry.
Only the Flower Attacker continued to walk towards the Satellite with a cold smile, the purple mist swirling around the magic circle in his hand, mysterious and unfathomable.
"Fire! Don't let him touch the Satellite with whatever he's holding!" Kong Xuan shouted sternly.
Hearing Kong Xuan's command left me puzzled. The Satellite hadn't even been equipped with a rocket yet; even if the Flower Attacker placed the magic circle inside the Satellite, what difference would it make? Without a rocket, could the Satellite fly on its own?
There was no time to think too much about it, as the captain of the Special Forces had already ordered them to open fire.
