The Empress's No.1 Lackey-Chapter 1187 - 640: Zhao Douan’s Despicable Tactics, Infiltration into La Garden

In the dense forest, Zhao Douan stood within the encirclement, surrounded by giants, appearing to be at an absolute disadvantage.

Therefore, when he uttered the words "seeking death," it barely held any threatening meaning in the eyes of the Liao people, instead resembling impotent rage.

Man Gu looked down from above and mockingly said, "What did you say? Your voice is too low, this General didn’t hear clearly."

His demeanor was exaggerated, yet there was cunning in his eyes. As the second warrior of the Black Beast Tribe, he was certainly no mere brute. Therefore, his intention was to irritate the opponent, knowing reality isn’t hot-blooded anime—when people are provoked, they only reveal more flaws instead of unleashing their inner cosmos.

Even though Man Gu was extremely confident in his combat prowess, in the domain of the Great Laba God, he dared to compete against even the Half-step Heavenly Realm powerhouses from Yu Country, but he still maintained enough caution.

And Zhao Douan seemed indeed to be angered, for he actually stepped forward alone towards him, yet his hands did not draw any weapon nor extend a fist.

This scene left Man Gu somewhat dumbfounded, unable to comprehend the intention of this mysterious Yu Country person. But as Zhao Douan approached leisurely, he instinctively felt uneasy.

"Die!"

Man Gu’s eyes hardened as he suddenly swung the exaggeratedly shaped giant axe!

The sudden wind swept up the fallen leaves, and on flat ground, it would surely have been a sandstorm.

This axe swing was extremely abrupt, almost without warning.

However, facing the blade that seemed ready to split him in two, Zhao Douan still kept his hands behind him, showing no sign of drawing a blade.

"Is this guy insane? Is he courting death?" At the moment the thought arose, the ears of dozens of watching Liao people simultaneously heard a sigh.

Only to see the most unassuming old man suddenly appear in front of Zhao Douan.

The Old Heavenly Master raised his right arm, and from within his loose sleeve, a hand reached out without any trace of smoke and fire, grabbing the giant axe.

Then a gentle twist of the wrist, and with a "crack," the giant axe actually cracked with spider web fractures, shattering into countless pieces, as if a reverse torrent of fierce wind and rain, swept towards Man Gu!

"How can this be?!" Man Gu’s pupils contracted, and he almost instinctively leaped and rolled back to dodge, whereas the fierce beast beneath him, which could rival cultivators from the world, was too slow to dodge, and was turned into a sieve by the steel torrent, unable to even utter a mournful cry before turning into a pile of riddled flesh!

"Uncivilized Liao, how dare you act presumptuously before a humble Taoist!" Zhang Yan Yi said with a cold, expressionless face, glancing over with a chilling look. Dark golden characters appeared on the black priest robe.

"Great Divine Officer!" Man Gu landed with a thud, eyes wide in horror, finally realizing the old man’s identity, yet undaunted, he sneered, "Another lousy Taoist, you guys truly are in cahoots!"

Slowly he rose, and two fists the size of sand bowls crossed before his chest, spewing out thick blood energy from his pores, which slowly condensed behind him into a massive, fierce bull.

A terrifying force filled the air, suddenly rolling dark clouds across the sky of the forest, the light dimming rapidly!

The sky and earth changed drastically!

"Great Divine Officer, so what? This isn’t your Yu Country people’s territory. Today, this General will taste the flesh and blood of the Great Divine Officer!" Man Gu snorted sizzling breaths, battle intent fervent.

He was already regretful for not being able to follow clan orders to the frontline, but now he had stumbled upon a delivered merit. Wouldn’t killing this old Taoist also accumulate great military exploits?

"Can you withstand it?" Zhao Douan glanced worriedly at old Zhang when he saw the sky change color, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

Zhang Yan Yi replied grumpily, "A humble Taoist was only knocked down several small realms, not dead."

He held his single hand behind him, the black priest robe fluttering, and opened the fingers of his other hand towards the Liao Clan general, charging furiously like a demon god, and gently pressed.

"Boom!"

Man Gu was suddenly struck by the sensation the entire world was pressing down on him, as if he was bearing a mountain on his back. The immense pressure made his giant-like skeleton emit unbearable creaks, first his feet broke apart, then the leg bones, chest bones...

"Crack, crack..."

A horrifying scene occurred:

As Man Gu ran, his body gradually "shortened." By the time he reached Zhao Douan, he was completely pushed alive into the ground, causing the entire forest floor to sink, revealing a huge palm printmark.

And the general, capable of battling Half-step Heavenly Humans, was already blood-covered, veins severed!

Silence!

The forest fell into dead silence.

The elite Liao around showed terrified expressions, their scalps tingling.

The ever-victorious general Man Gu, already near death with one move?!

One Liao suddenly grabbed the flute at his waist, stuck it into his mouth, attempting to blow it and alert the stronghold.

However, he only spat a mouthful of blood froth, then slumped to the ground, not just him, but at this moment, the brows of all Liao displayed an archaic seal script, forbidden from all strength, reduced to lambs waiting for slaughter.

Zhao Douan glanced incredulously at old Zhang, secretly comparing him to Zhenbao back when he repelled the Wine Sword Immortal.

Zhang Yan Yi slowly retracted his hand, his aura returned to that of an unremarkable elder, glanced at him and grouched, "Can’t you resist testing the old man’s methods?"

Zhao Douan chuckled as if he had never been angry: "What are you saying, Heavenly Master, with you here, if this junior acted first, wouldn’t it steal the senior’s spotlight?"
