“You transformed those lifeless creatures into soldiers!

“It’s quite remarkable that you are able to create such vivid illusions.”

After destroying all of Qiao Daoqing’s methods with three consecutive spells, Gongsun Sheng made another gesture.

The white Cloud Dragon in the sky turned back into a sword and flew back to his hand.

“Who are you?”

Qiao Daoqing quickly waved his colorful fan and prevented the black cloud underneath his feet from being absorbed by the tornado.

He looked warily at Gongsun Sheng who had approached the volcano peak on a white cloud.

“I’ve been training at the Twin Deity Mountain. My master has given me the name ‘Yiqing’.”

Gongsun Sheng stopped about thirty meters away from Qiao Daoqing on the cloud.

“The Twin Deity Mountain? You’re his disciple too?”

Qiao Daoqing’s expression changed again. Then, he remarked in disbelief.

“So to speak, the spells just now are from the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique too?

“That can’t be right. Even the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique couldn’t have destroyed my Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers so easily!”

As the Lord of Fiends, he had developed most of his skills with the help of illusions.

Just like the Thunder Technique, “illusions” did not literally mean illusions in Daoism. It also included other skills such as transformation and cloning.

While the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique was sort of a Heavenly Spirit technique, his illusions could be counted as “72 Earthly Fiend changes”.

The five birds that he had just created with feathers were exactly examples of “transformation”. The hundred Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers that were cloned were almost invulnerable. They shouldn’t have been cracked so easily even if Gongsun Sheng were stronger than him!

Qiao Daoqing, who had arrived as a villain, didn’t know that those who were summoned through rituals had their life memories.

In Water Margin, Qiao Daoqing was talked into surrendering to Liangshan by Zhang Qing who worked undercover in Tian Hu’s army. He even learned after Gongsun Sheng as a master later.

Therefore, with the following memories, Gongsun Sheng knew Qiao Daoqing’s methods very well, and it was quite easy for him to deal with them.

In fact, not just Qiao Daoqing, more than half of the famous generals under Tian Hu’s command surrendered to the Lord of Fiends. They were almost the backups of Liangshan.

It was also why the Twin Dragon Island unanimously agreed that Tian Hu’s troops weren’t as threatening as Fang La’s in the meeting.

After all, the heroes of Liangshan were well aware of their methods, and since the Liangshan heroes were much more famous than the villains, it was almost impossible for them to fail with the boost of their talents.

It was needless to mention that Gongsun Sheng was already Extraordinary Rank-9 and even stronger than Qiao Daoqing who was almost at the peak of Extraordinary Rank-8.

“Qiao Lie, don’t be stubborn.

“Cancel your spell and surrender or leave, or you will die here today!”

Therefore, Gongsun Sheng, who had been his master in another world, didn’t attack but simply scolded him loudly.

“Humph, even if you have practiced the Heavenly Spirit spells, so what? I might not necessarily lose to you!”

However, as Tian Hu’s Prime Minister and National Advisor, Qiao Daoqing would not walk away just because of Gongsun Sheng’s warning.

The information in his head told him that they had to seize the so-called settlement core!

“Let’s see what you’re capable of!”

Therefore, Qiao Daoqing was rather grim.

He quickly cast a spell, and the colorful fan in his hand, which seemed rather ragged due to the missing features, shivered and radiated again.

Then, a stream of magnificent black air surged out and turned into a black eagle that had sharp claws.

“Caw!”

After a high-pitched shriek, it flapped its wings and pecked Gongsun Sheng on the opposite side.

“Forget it. It’s inappropriate to let you go back anyway.”

Seeing that, Gongsun Sheng shook his head slightly.

He cast a spell, and after a thunderous noise, the Mirage Dragon Sword was transformed into a white Cloud Dragon too and flew towards the black eagle.

Boom, boom, boom…

The two extraordinary creatures made with Daoist techniques mauled each other and fought all the way from the sky to the ground.

When they crashed, they even caused a crack at the edge of the volcano’s crater.

“Roar!”

Eventually, the white Cloud Dragon tied up the black eagle and bit its neck, turning it back into the form of a fan!

[Five Birds Illusionary Fiend Fan]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-9]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: It is made of the best feathers on the five birds that represent the Five Elements. It’s said that the way it’s created came from Guangcheng Zi who once cultivated on Kongdong Mountain!]

Guangcheng Zi of the Kongdong Mountain!

He was an ancient deity who was even more famous than Wong Tai Sin that Bao Daoyi’s knowledge was from.

After all, in Investiture of the Gods, he was listed at the top of the Twelve Golden Deities of the Church of Chan. Also, legend had it that the Yellow Emperor once asked for his enlightenment and respected him as a teacher.

However, the equipment was more like a duplication of the Five Flames Seven Birds Fan, the equipment of another Golden Deity of the Church of Chan, in terms of its name and function.

Qiao Daoqing turned out to have a piece of Extraordinary Rank-9 Superior equipment that had a famous background. No wonder he dared to attack everybody on the Twin Dragon Island on his own.

However, it was just a piece of equipment anyway, and he couldn’t really compete with Gongsun Sheng who was already Extraordinary Rank-9.

Besides, one’s strength belonged to oneself, whereas one’s equipment could be taken away.

“My precious fan…”

After seeing that his equipment was taken to Gongsun Sheng’s hands by the Mirage Dragon Sword, Qiao Daoqing looked even more awful.

Although he was quite regretful, he was rational enough to realize that he was no match for Master Luo’s disciple.

Therefore, he quickly made a decision…

“Fine… I’m willing to surrender on one condition…”

Qiao Daoqing heaved a sigh on the black cloud and nodded at Gongsun Sheng.

“You’re still not giving up, are you?”

Gongsun Sheng, however, slightly narrowed his eyes and turned the Mirage Dragon Sword in his hand!

Crack!

A bolt of lightning flew out of the tip of the sword, yet it surpassed Qiao Daoqing and hit a part of the ground on the Demon Volcano.

Pa!

The air was twisted, and another Qiao Daoqing who was sneaking to the foot of the volcano was revealed.

Clearly, the Qiao Daoqing who was surrendering in the sky was an illusion too. His real self was trying to sneak away on the ground.

However, Gongsun Sheng had seen through him again.

“If you had listened to my warning and retreated earlier, I would’ve let you go, but since you insisted on fighting me, you might as well stay here. In this way, maybe we can be reunited as a master and a disciple later…”

Gongsun Sheng waved his hand, and a streak of silver light flew out of his Daoist robe.

It quickly tied up Qiao Daoqing, who had been cornered, as a silver rope.

[Dragon Beard Rope]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-9]

[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]

[Description: This is made of the beard that a Flood Dragon dropped. It doesn’t contain any Transcendent power, but it’s still a piece of remarkable equipment that can freeze the power in anyone that it catches.]

Same as Qiao Daoqing’s Five Birds Illusionary Fiend Fan, the Dragon Beard Rope was an Extraordinary Rank-9 treasure, except that it was also “Rare”.

Gongsun Sheng had bought it in the City of Humans with Civilization Coins, and it could trap anyone below Extraordinary Rank-9.
