Chapter 293.

This dark and narrow space was filled with a depressing feeling, especially since the windows were tightly locked, and even the light that filtered in became dim.

Great Domain Jade Seal.

After the four words came out of the Fist Heavenly Father’s mouth, the Dao Lord and the Buddha Lord exchanged glances again.

Clearly, they were also considering this matter.

When benefits appeared, they definitely had to equalize what they were giving and whether they would be able to receive the corresponding benefits.

The Fist Heavenly Father also saw that the other party was getting entangled, and continued, “The two seniors, truth be told, you all know that we don’t value the Jade Seal of the Great Domain at all, this kind of thing, it’s a hot potato, whoever takes it will make things happen, it’s like a chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard.”

“Verticality from the beginning to the end of the concept has not changed, that is to indulge their own nature, we do, just to kill Zhou An.”

Having said that, all that needed to be said had also been said, and he had said it all word for word as the Leader of Verticality had commanded.

Next, it was time to wait for the other party’s response.

The Fist Heavenly Father couldn’t help but think of the time when the Leader of Verticality had told him, saying that the other party would definitely agree.

For the Leader of Verticality, most people held an attitude of admiration, because the fact that Verticality was still able to develop to its current situation today was closely related to the Leader of Verticality’s leadership.

That was why Fist Heavenly Father was very confident that the other party would agree.

As expected, after pondering for a moment, the white-haired Daolord slowly opened his mouth and said.

“At that time, along with the jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty, as well as the Linglong painting, all of it will be returned to us.”

For people at their level, thinking about something didn’t need to be entangled for too long, they only needed to compare which end of the payoff and benefit was heavier.

So after a simple comparison, the Dao Lord and Buddha Lord felt that this method was feasible.

One was that they would be able to obtain the Jade Seal of the Great Domain Dynasty, and the other was that they would be able to kill Zhou An.

Whichever condition was able to fulfill them, this matter, too, was a done deal.

Fist Heavenly Father arched his hand and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, the two seniors, in the future, even if the verticality still has to develop, it is impossible to have any breaks with the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddha Sect, and when the time comes, all three of our forces, we will work together to help.”

The jianghu demons in this world had an extremely large number of forces and were extremely widely distributed.

The only three forces that were able to exist for a long time were the Verticality, Wild Dao Sect, and Wild Buddha Sect, and some of the mettle they had with each other was also related.

After Lord Dao and Lord Buddha agreed, they didn’t speak again, and after the two of them got up, each of them clenched their hands in a dharma resolution and operated the air in their bodies.

A few moments later, at the center of their brows, two flashes of light flashed.

A luscious painting of one person and half of them surfaced before their eyes.

Eventually, in this dark and narrow room, the two paintings slowly came together.

The crack in the center disappeared, smooth as a mirror.

On top of the Linglong Painting, there was a painting of a landscape with birds and flowers, as well as a variety of small beasts in the jungle, even without the Linglong Painting’s special effects, this painting could be sold for quite a lot of money when it was put out.

When the Linglong Painting appeared, the Dao Master immediately waved his sleeve.

The Linglong Painting quickly landed in the hands of the Fist Heavenly Father as if it had heard its master’s command.

Fist Heavenly Sovereign surveyed the painting and rolled it up before arching his hand and saying, “Since that’s the case, I won’t bother the two seniors any longer, the matter of killing Zhou An is urgent, so the latecomer will take his leave first.”

The Buddha and the Dao Master did not speak, but it was already self-evident.

The Fist Heavenly Father didn’t stay long either, turning around and directly leaving the place.

When the Fist Heavenly Father left, this place once again returned to silence.

The matter of the tricky hunt continued, and after that, nothing like it ever happened again.

Ever since the battle in Zi Yun County, Zhou An’s way of looking at the Great Qi Kingdom had changed.

The more he felt, the more he felt that this Great Qi Country was somewhat disgusting.

Especially when he often saw the people in rags, this feeling grew stronger.

During this period of time down, nothing happened while Zhou An began to frantically liver up his Bagua Arithmetic.

He was still waiting to utilize Bagua Arithmetic to reach the ninth level of Qualitative Transformation before livering for a little while longer to fill up his stored proficiency, so that he could upgrade his next skill at that time.

The closer he got to the All Saints Realm, the more excited Zhou An felt.

Now that he was able to kill the Absolute Enlightenment Realm with the Tongling Realm, when he waited after the All Saints Realm, it would be even stronger, and the more cards he had to save his life.

At this time, the crowd had already arrived in the county in the middle of the Great Qi Kingdom.

And the guile hunting had already been carried out for a large portion of the day, and it wouldn’t take much time before they were able to finish this event all together.

“Lord Zhou, we’ll set off first.” Zheng Quan arched his hand at Zhou An and said.

Zhou An nodded his head, indicating that he would let them go, and then he also livered himself to the Bagua Arithmetic.

Recently, he also went to the Psychic Space every day and stayed for two hours.

Although the Guile Hunting had slowed down and the time had stretched a bit, everything was within Zhou An’s arrangement.

Now, after Zhou An squeezed out time for the wild liver, the smoke finally also floated in front of his eyes, and the Eight Trigrams Arithmetic was about to qualitatively change.

In front of his eyes, a line of smoke emerged, in mid-air, curling and floating, and eventually transformed into a line of text, flashing in front of Zhou An.

[Please choose direction]

[Celestial Arithmetic: Precision +12, Deduction +12, Formation +12, Great Potential +24]

[Demon Breaking Arithmetic: Wind Breaking +12, Cloud Gathering +12, Frenzied Attack +12, Xuan Xin +24]

Two choices, still two directions.

After Zhou An patiently read through them, he chose the Heavenly Worker’s Arithmetic without hesitation.

As he made his selection, the smoke in front of him disappeared and then transformed into lines of text that merged inside his head.

Zhou An closed his eyes and patiently absorbed it.

After roughly a few breaths of time, he had absorbed all the information, all of it, before he opened his eyes.

The skill, Heavenly Worker Divine Calculations, the first three attributes, there was nothing much to talk about, it was just a doubling of the attributes.

Instead, it was the fourth attribute that was most worth exploring.

The attribute of Great Potential, Zhou An couldn’t understand it at first.

Now that he had absorbed all the information, he only felt that this skill, was simply a bit perverted.

The so-called Great Potential, in the end, was actually related to luck, that is, it could reverse one’s luck.

In the past, when Zhou An was fortune-telling, there were times when he would calculate good and bad luck.

For example, black represented evil, while gold represented good.

Once the black color appeared, he would use all sorts of methods to make that black color disappear, which was very troublesome.

Sometimes, it was not even possible to make the black color disappear completely.

But with the attribute of Great Potential, it was different.

The Great Potential could transform good and bad fortune into each other.

This kind of transformation was very outrageous, as long as it was within the range of Great Potential +24, he could smoothly transform it into another situation.

Let’s say he calculates something today, and it shows a great evil, but it happens to be within this range of the Great Potential, then he can turn the situation around and turn the evil into good.

And when the evil becomes auspicious, as long as he doesn’t go to his death and does things his own way, then there will be no evil.

As for this range, what exactly is the range, it depends on the severity of this matter.

Of course, the most perverse point of this attribute was this range.

Even if it went beyond this range, it was still able to weaken the great evils within the range to a manageable level.

“It seems like I’ve become stronger and less human again.”

Although Zhou An looked cloudy on the surface, he was actually particularly excited inside.

In front of his eyes, the smoke changed for a while, eventually coalescing into the latest attribute panel that was presented before his eyes.

[Armor Breaking Evil Suppression Blade lv.9 (Speed +24, Accuracy +24, Sharpness +24, Breaking Defense +24): 1/160000]

[Pot Zhen Fa lv.7 (Strength +10, Destruction +10, Seal +10): 100000/1200000]

[Heavenly Worker’s Divine Calculations lv.9 (Precision +24, Deduction +24, Formation +24, Great Potential +24): 1/160000]

[Trick Fishing lv.5 (Harvest +4, Unknown +4): 1/80,000]

[Storage Proficiency: 45000/100000]

Storage Proficiency had increased by another 45,000 points due to the qualitative change in Skywork Divine Calculations, and at this time, it was definitely time to change to a new skill to liver again.

Zhou An began to ponder again, what exactly should be livered for the new skill.

Looking at the lines of text in front of him, in the end, after a careful choice, Zhou An chose another skill.

Potentate’s Town Law.

As one of Zhou An’s rare means of attack, Pot Zhen Fa was also one of them, and at certain times, it was even more powerful than the Armor Breaking Evil Suppressor Blade.

In the very early days, especially when he was in Settlement County, the Pot Suppression Technique had brought Zhou An immense benefits, and had also helped him avoid many crises.

So for this skill, Zhou An planned to rise to level nine first.

After he had risen to level nine, the stored proficiencies would be able to be used again, and then he would see where to add these stored proficiencies.

After having this idea, Zhou An was ready to implement it immediately.

However, if this skill wanted to be upgraded, it would have to be done in a new way.

Thinking about this, Zhou An began to walk back and forth in the same spot, thinking about how he could make the Potentate’s Town Technique continue to improve upwards.

“In the previous time, it was also the Upside Down Black Jade that was able to make the Pot Zhen Method improve.”

“Now, is it also possible?”

After this thought was born, Zhou An turned his gaze towards the Black Jade.

At this time, Black Jade was kicking the stones on the ground with a face full of boredom.

When he sensed Zhou An’s gaze, he looked towards Zhou An in confusion.

At this moment, there were not many people on the streets due to the fact that it was already dark.

Zhou An raised his left hand, and after a moment of writhing, the Gold Transformation Ring turned into a pitch-black iron pot.

Seeing this iron pot, Hei Yu’s eyes lit up slightly, as if he had seen a familiar face.

There was once a time when Black Jade went to beg Zhou An every day to delve her, and Zhou An was happy to do so.

So a favorable impression was formed for Black Jade.

“Upside down me upside down me!”

Black Jade excitedly came next to Zhou An, pulled Zhou An’s hand and shook it vigorously.

Apart from the Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body, which could make her feel good, being turned upside down would likewise make her feel good.

Anyway, no one was there right now, and Zhou An saw that Black Jade was so excited, so he also stretched out the iron pot.

Black Jade immediately sat in the iron pot, and with Zhou An’s upending of the pot, she very much wanted to ooh and aah and scream, but was stopped by Zhou An.

Thus, Black Jade’s loud cries turned into small grunts.

In front of Zhou An’s eyes, a puff of smoke soon surfaced, eventually coalescing into a line of proficiency.

[Pot Zhen Fa +1]

Pot Zhen Fa began to rise upwards.

With regards to this situation, Zhou An had actually already seen it before, after all, Black Jade was a very qualified employer.

As for whether or not it would be a little less than stellar when he turned Black Jade upside down, Zhou An didn’t care right now.

He wasn’t even a human being anymore, so how could he care about this worldly gaze.

Besides, so what if he did?

The others wouldn’t dare to say anything in front of him.

Thinking of this, Zhou An upside down became even more excited.

Black Jade held the edge of the iron pot with her hand and hummed.

The scene was somewhat childish for a moment.

The proficiency level was rising upwards, while the activity of hunting shenanigans continued to push forward.

In the blink of an eye, in the entire Great Qi Kingdom, there was already only the last tenth of the area left to get done.

This journey, on the contrary, was so calm that Zhou An felt that it was somewhat unexpected.

In fact, according to reason, it should be out of place for the vertical nature to not give him a whole lot of things to do.

But now, it seemed that the more calm the time was underneath, the deeper something was hidden.

“What new thing are they holding back?”

Zhou An cast the Heavenly Worker Divine Calculations and did half a day’s math, but he didn’t come up with anything useful.

Thus, he simply stopped counting.

“Lord Zhou, it will only be ten days or so at most before the hunting and trickery will be finished.”

Zheng Quan walked behind Zhou An, a look of emotion in his eyes.

This trip to the Guile Hunt was very memorable for a veteran like Zheng Quan.

He had never experienced so many things in a Guile Hunt before, thrilling but very steady.

“This trip was not smooth, but it was smooth.”

Zhou An held Black Jade and slowly said, “The next place, where is it?”

“Sanqin Mansion.”

Zheng Quan said, “After Sanqinfu, there will be a wide road, and there will no longer be high mountains rising and falling.”

Zhou An nodded and said, “In that case, very good.”

It was also good to end early and have no anomalies.

The crowd stopped talking and headed towards the next place.

On this journey, naturally, there were no words.

It didn’t take long for Zhou An and Zheng Quan and the others, to arrive at the Sanqin Prefecture.

Sanqin Mansion was a government-level city, and at this moment, quite a few people were carrying various goods inside.

Due to the reason that Zhou An and the others had arrived earlier, the people’s stalls had not yet been opened, so amidst the quietness, there was a bit of a downtown flavor.

The sound of moving things, mixed with the sound of the people’s footsteps, rose and fell.

“Lord Zhou, we’ll go first.”

Zheng Quan never forgets his duties at all times, this has only just arrived and he is already ready to go.

Zhou An nodded and signaled for them to leave on their own without bothering him.

Afterwards, Zheng Quan and the others, left the street and disappeared.

Only after Zheng Quan and the others had left, did Zhou An then continue to bring the Black Jade with him, and kept roaming around this street.

Now that it was broad daylight, Zhou An didn’t use the Black Jade to practice Upside Down, but continued to take in the surrounding scenery.

As he walked, the hustle and bustle intensified.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, countless exotic flavors were only visible to the eyes.

Right at this moment, Zhou An suddenly stopped walking and turned his head to look at Black Jade, a strange expression on his face.

Black Jade did the same, turning back to Zhou An with a clueless and strange look.

“Something’s not right.”

Zhou An stroked his chin, “The buzz here, it’s not right.”

The further one went inside, the more lively it was inside, the more uncomfortable one felt.

This discomfort did not arise from the lively environment, but rather a feeling of being suffocated.

It was like suddenly being cut off from heaven and earth and being put into another place.

Even though this kind of place was very wide, Zhou An always felt that there was a hint of suffocating panic.

Zhou An looked around and carefully surveyed the area.

The people around them, were still moving things in the streets, but at this moment, it gave Zhou An a very fake feeling.

Whether it was the light and airy feeling of the people moving things, or the rustling sound that resounded when the people walked, Zhou An felt very fake.

“Go take a look.”

Thinking about this, Zhou An lifted his foot and prepared to take a step forward.

When Zhou An took this step, he immediately stopped.

The surroundings, once again, changed.

It was no longer a busy street, but a patch of mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests were clear and verdant, the grass was long and warbling, and a sound of flowing water echoed continuously between these mountains and forests.

“Heavenly Worker Divine Calculation, rise!”

Zhou An’s eyes gradually turned cold, already knowing that he had been targeted once again.

Without the slightest hesitation, he ran the Heavenly Worker Divine Calculations.

This was the first time he had used it after the qualitative change of his skill.

The golden bagua was bigger and brighter than before, and that golden color could even make people think that it was not a bagua, but a huge and incomparable sun.

When the golden gossip appeared, Zhou An immediately began to speculate on the good and bad luck.

The next moment, in front of Zhou An’s eyes, the eight trigrams were covered with a thick layer of black mist, so black that it was palpitating.

Zhou An squinted his eyes and carefully sized it up.

After a moment, he stroked his chin and felt that it was somewhat interesting.

The trigrams in front of him meant that he would not survive this time in ten deaths.

Even the slightest possibility of survival was not there.

While thinking like this, a person appeared between these mountains and forests.

When Zhou An saw this person, his eyes narrowed slightly.

“Vertical Leader, you old undead, you even came to find trouble with me, no, again, like the Nine Layered Tower, it’s just a doppelganger that came, right?”

Zhou An looked at this person in front of him and laughed coldly, “Not afraid that I will behead you again?”

The person who came was none other than the Vertical Leader.

However, in Zhou An’s opinion, the aura on this one was not high, so it was probably another doppelganger.

To be able to lead a Verticality Gou for so long, the Verticality Leader must be even more Gou than the Verticality Gou… to come with a doppelganger, it was normal.

“Zhou An, your time to die has come.”

The Verticality Leader laughed coldly, “In the beginning, when I gave you a way to live, you preferred not to, and now even if you begged me, I’m afraid it’s still hard to escape death.”

“With your current appearance?” Zhou An raised his eyebrows, “I’m afraid it’s not enough.”

“What do you think, using the Linglong Painting as the bearer, with the thousands of Verticality members of the Tongling Realm as the eyes of the formation, letting the Linglong Painting strengthen my doppelganger and carry half a moment of my power.”

The Verticality Leader laughed, “Is it enough?”

When those words were finished, the Verticality Leader was the first to point a finger towards Zhou An.

In this world, there was no such thing as beating up an old one to come a slightly stronger one.

Just like what Zhou An had said in the beginning, as long as there was a chance, the Verticality would even throw everything at him to deal with him.

The Great Chu Kingdom, there was no chance.

The Great Yue Country, likewise no chance.

But in this Great Qi Kingdom, the opportunity had come!

There was Emperor Feng Teng secretly releasing Indulgent Sex, plus being able to allow Linglong Painting to safely enter it, and having himself, the doppelganger, descending.

With a wilderness level item like the Linglong Painting as a backing, and thousands of Indulgent Sexuals providing support, it was only then that one’s own doppelganger was able to gain half a moment of the power of the main body.

It had appeared in order to kill Zhou An.

A single move was enough.

When the finger in the air appeared, Zhou An felt that an extremely terrifying pressure surfaced from the bottom of his heart.

This pressure, which had never been felt before, the pressure between life and death, caused goosebumps to rise straight up all over his body.

It was terrifying and palpitating.

This finger was the full power of the Vertical Leader, causing heaven and earth to lose color.

The scenery of the surrounding Linglong Paintings continuously collapsed in an instant.

However, the Linglong Painting’s powerfulness caused it to repair itself rapidly.

As for Zhou An, at this moment, his hands and feet already felt cold.

Black Jade was ready to summon the Creepy Gathering.

Around them, there was an ancient bizarre aura flowing, and the Creepy Gathering was appearing.

But it was too late, this finger was so fast that it was mind-blowing.

“No, can’t just sit and wait.”

In just a moment, Zhou An flooded his mind with countless ploys.

Attack?

Useless.

Defense?

Equally useless.

There were almost no skills that could be blocked right now.

But between Zhou An’s rapid thoughts, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

Heavenly Worker Divine Calculations!

Nowadays, it was impossible to block anymore.

Since that was the case, it would be better to simply try to use the attribute of Great Potential to reverse the signs of Great Murder.

It could only be so.

As long as it could be reversed and delayed for a while to allow the Trickster Rally to come out, then one would have a sure shot at winning.

Thinking about this, Zhou An quickly operated the Qi in his body and cast the Great Momentum of the Heavenly Worker’s Divine Calculations.

When the Great Momentum was cast out by Zhou An, changes immediately appeared before his eyes.

In an environment as deep as black ink, there was a hint of light that surfaced in front of Zhou An’s eyes.

The light was very small, not even as small as a strand of hair.

Even if it was just a sliver of light, it could turn the situation around.

A breeze blew past the corner of the Linglong painting, and the speed of repair suddenly slowed down a bit.

While the Vertical Leader was carrying power based on the Linglong Painting, this sudden slowdown in the speed of repair caused this finger, to be deflected.

“Boom!”

This overwhelmingly powerful finger shot out through Zhou An’s left side.

Behind Zhou An, it made a deafening sound.

In an instant, the Linglong Painting was destroyed for the most part.

Although it was still being repaired, the speed of the repair, was slowing down.

The Vertical Leader didn’t know why this finger was crooked, but it didn’t stop him from using another finger.

But just then, an ancient and terrifying aura finally descended.
