Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques-Chapter 115 - 114: Chief Ba

As the two sides clashed in the quarantine zone, twenty-some figures were hidden in the shadows of a forest on the island's eastern side, seemingly waiting for something.

These twenty-odd figures were vaguely led by a short, bald, middle-aged man.

The bald middle-aged man squinted, gazing toward the island's interior. Aided by his powerful and terrifying Psychic Power, he could see many things that the other Celestial Beings around him could not.

Within his spiritual senses, he could perceive intense jade light erupting into the sky from eight different directions on the island, like eight great pillars. The color of that jade light was nearly identical to the Jade Radiance naturally emitted by a master who had achieved unity of body and mind.

"Lord Xin You, this ancient Sealing Realm Image has been fully active for a whole day. Is its power still so potent?" one of the tall men asked the bald middle-aged man in a low voice, his brow furrowed.

"If it were just the previous Sealing Realm Image, it would have been running on fumes after so many years. But things are different now."

"Hmph. That 'Spirit Guardian' from Donghua Country, the one who calls himself Daoist Bailong, is no simple character. He reinforced the entire realm image. I noticed it during yesterday's raid. While reinforcing it, he used its properties to place an 'Eight Gates Thunder Rapid Curse' on every node. Otherwise, without a guardian who has broken through the 'First Shackles,' our raid yesterday would have succeeded."

"Furthermore, the Southern Guardian of the Donghua Secret Inspection Bureau is now personally overseeing things. With the support of his 'Essence Blood,' this Array can remain fully active for another three days without a problem. However, it will severely drain his own power. Unfortunately for him, we can't wait that long. Donghua Country's reinforcements will arrive soon. As soon as Chief Ba's physical body is escorted out of the quarantine zone, we'll make our move," said the Celestial General Xin You flatly, who had the appearance of a bald middle-aged man.

"'Spirit Guardians'... Descendants of those people? The powerful 'Spirit Guardians' around the world rarely seem to cooperate with local authorities. Following their ancestral teachings, those people are all dangerous members of the 'Destruction Sect.' The actions of the various governments should run contrary to their beliefs," the tall man said with a frown.

"So much time has passed. The era has changed, and humanity is no longer in its ancient, ignorant period. Some people are bound to change with it..."

The bald middle-aged man shook his head. He then looked up at the full moon, which had begun to set, and couldn't help but frown.

"What's the situation in the quarantine zone?"

The bald middle-aged man turned and looked at a small, thin man sitting cross-legged on a tree branch with his eyes shut tight.

Hearing the bald man's words, the thin man suddenly opened his eyes, his expression slightly grim. "There's a situation in the quarantine zone. The people the Donghua Secret Inspection Bureau brought in this time are the top Martial Artists from the Southern Boxing Three Capitals. Their strength is somewhat beyond our expectations. Currently, over thirty percent of the regular Celestial Beings have been captured."

"Thirty percent? What about the Cadres? We have eighteen Cadres, most of whom prioritized selecting the most suitable bodies. Have they been taken out too?" the bald middle-aged man asked, frowning slightly.

"So far, most of the Cadres are still fine. But without the regular Celestial Beings as cover, it won't be so easy to get Lord Chief Ba's body out of the quarantine zone. After all, there are armed human soldiers guarding the perimeter. Or... perhaps we could have Lord Chief Ba use his power once? That should be foolproof," the thin man said.

"Unless it's absolutely necessary, we should avoid that. A mortal body that hasn't been specially nurtured cannot fully bear the power of a Celestial General. Every time he acts, it causes immense damage to the body. To prevent any accidents, his power must be saved for the assault on the seal's nodes."

"Have them give up on encircling those Martial Artists. Tell them to gather and focus on escorting Chief Ba out. Those guys who haven't truly broken through the shackles are a potential problem, but for now, they don't pose a real threat to us."

"By comparison, this time we have one Celestial General and several Cadres who abandoned physical bodies they had been compatible with and nurturing for years, infiltrating as Void forms. If we don't achieve our objective, the loss will be too great," Xin You said in a deep voice. He pondered for a moment, then turned to the tall man beside him and said, "Yudo, take your squad and find an opportunity to destroy the enemy's defensive fortifications in the quarantine zone. Provide them with support."

"Yes, sir. I'll tear them to shreds."

The tall man nodded in response, a terrifying smile spreading across his lips.

"The rest of you, with me. We'll increase the pressure on the various seal nodes. Don't let them realize our true target is the quarantine zone."

The bald middle-aged man said flatly, his eyes narrowed to slits.

...

...

Meanwhile, inside the quarantine zone's temporary headquarters.

Chen Lingyun listened to the reports of captured and defeated Celestial Demons coming in over the intercom, her dazed expression gradually turning into one of pleasant surprise.

'Is this the power that top-tier Martial Artists possess?'

'To think that a frail human body could reach such a level through pure Cultivation... It's simply a miracle...'

However, the next message that came over the intercom shattered her pleasant surprise.

"Team A3 is in danger! Any available teams, provide immediate support!"

"Team A5 requests backup!"

"Team B5 is in danger and requests backup!"

"..."

Three teams in a row sent requests for backup. Chen Lingyun's eyes narrowed. Two of the three teams calling for help included Descendants of the Southern Eight Sects. The second-tier Martial Artists were slaughtering the enemy, yet the Descendants of the Southern Eight Sects were in danger? That clearly didn't make sense.

"What happened?" Chen Lingyun immediately asked the surveillance team.

"We don't know... The Celestial Demon People they've encountered... seem a little unusual," one of the surveillance team members couldn't help but say.

Chen Lingyun looked at the screen the team member was pointing to. Several figures were moving at high speed under the surveillance cameras, visible only as flashing shadows. The surrounding ground and walls were being violently shattered, as if a demolition crew had plowed through.

Chen Lingyun's pupils contracted.

'This is...'

'Cadre-level Celestial Demon People actually abandoned their long-nurtured bodies to infiltrate the quarantine zone as Void Celestial Demons and perform possessions?'

...

...

After slaying the two remaining fleeing Celestial Demons, Tang Chen had just finished reporting to temporary headquarters on his intercom when he heard Chen Lingyun's voice come through: "Team B2, Team A3 needs support. Please proceed immediately to..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuanjue, who was beside him, looked slightly surprised.

'Team A3?'

'The force behind Guangpu City's Yama Boxing Arena, a Descendant of the Dizang Sect, Jiang Jiushan?'

'A Descendant of the Southern Eight Sects needs to call for help against these small fry.'

"Let's go. We'll go see what kind of people could push a Descendant of the Southern Eight Sects this far."

A flicker of interest flashed in Zhou Yuanjue's eyes as he spoke slowly to Tang Chen.
