Chapter 475 - Zhang Tong's Karma
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Guan Yu had guessed that Tong would continue to cheat in the duel after the latter used the Time Stop skill. He no longer cared what Tong might do to achieve his victory anymore.
All he had to do was to kill this emperor. Then, whatever happened next was none of his business!
"Ah, I don't mind. No matter how many weapons you get from your goons, you will die here!"
"Don't get cocky because you brokethrough in the middle of a fight!"
Tong's crescent halberd and Guan Yu's glaive collided again.
*CLANK*
The impact forced both immortals away from each other.
Tong had more experience in flight. He regained his body balance first and chased after Guan Yu, who lacked training in flight skills.
*CLANK*
The crescent halberd slammed onto Guan Yu's front armor, and the lamellar scale armor broke into pieces.
The impact sent Guan Yu's body to the ground.
*BOOM*
Guan Yu's body crashed through the roof of a civilian wooden building. The people inside the wooden house was panicked and ran away from the stranger, not knowing what had happened.
Tong did not follow through after Guan Yu crashed inside the city. Since their fight might harm innocent civilians, Tong decided not to push it.
"Oh well, nice timing. But do I really need it?"
Tong hesitated if he should get a new soul at the moment to match Guan Yu's current strength since he had just found out that Guan Yu's reaction was slower when he was flying.
He could just use the sky as their fighting ground and exploited Guan Yu's weakness.
However…
*BOOM*
Guan Yu's body shuttled through the sky with the speed of sound. A dozen wooden houses in the city were destroyed by the sonic boom shockwave, and many innocent civilians got caught in it.
*CLANK*
Guan Yu's glaive hit Tong's halberd shaft, but the blade entered the latter's shoulder, causing a deep wound.
Tong flew backward to soften the impact, but Guan Yu continued the chase again.
*CLANK*
*CLANK*
*CLANK*
Guan Yu's glaive cut several parts of Tong's armor even though Tong parried all of it. Still, Tong's eyes kept glancing at the wrecked houses in the city, worrying about the people below.
"Pay attention, Zhang Tong. What are you looking at!?"
*SWUA*
Another wound appeared on his right arm. Now, Tong's body had many bloody wounds, and his clothes and armor reddened because of the wearer's blood.
Tong glared at Guan Yu, getting angry.
"Have you realized that you might have killed a few civilians just now?"
Guan Yu flinched as he recalled that he kicked the ground too hard. He turned around to see the people below and found out that all immortal spectators had rushed to rescue the injured civilians and other people.
There was a child that got stuck under a collapsed rooftop, but Zhang Liao lifted the heavy log and pulled the child out of danger.
Seeing the mess he made, Guan Yu's heart sunk.
*POEK*
Guan Yu felt something hard hitting the back of his head. It was Tong's crescent halberd, which failed to cleave through Guan Yu's head into two as the defensive aura was too tough for Tong's current strength.
Even though the weapon could not cut his flesh, the impact of the sneak attack dizzied Guan Yu.
"COWARD!!"
"THAT'S THE PRICE FOR HARMING MY PEOPLE, YOU IGNORANT FOOL!!"
*BOOM*
Because Tong was mad, he also decided to awaken his 7th soul. He did not waste time to get used to the new surge of power and swung his weapon at Guan Yu again.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
For the first time, Guan Yu was pushed back by Tong's raw strength in a direct confrontation.
*CLANK*
The weapon in Guan Yu's hands had already been damaged from the exchange with Tong's steel halberd earlier. With more oppression and concentrating counter-attacks from Tong, Guan Yu's green dragon glaive shattered to pieces.
*SWUA*
The crescent halberd cut through Guan Yu's shoulder down to his belly, causing a deep wound. Yet, Guan Yu's subconsciously circulated his aura to stop the bleeding and concentrated on the combat.
But without a weapon, Guan Yu was a sitting duck.
*SWUA*
Lu Bu's halberd tip stabbed Guan Yu's chest center, but it got stuck at the latter's ribcage.
Guan Yu grabbed the crescent halberd and attempted to stop it from reaching his inner organs, such as lungs or his heart.
"Now, you've lost. Surrender!" Yelled Tong.
Guan Yu sneered at Tong. He had already bet that he would die if he lost, so there was no point to surrender.
He might as well die fighting!
"8th-wing… GO!!"
"!!!"
Guan Yu gambled and activated his 8th soul, which only had a 50% chance of awakening.
*FLASH*
Yet, he succeeded!
Guan Yu's 8th soul materialized, and he became a full-fletch archangel!
But it came with a severe price to pay as Guan Yu's foundation was not ready to handle the jump in power, aura, and the new abilities of an 8-wing archangel.
Guan Yu's vision blurred as he could see more things that ordinary humans or immortals with less wing could see. From his perspective, Tong's face was not the young man that he knew.
Tong's face and appearance appeared to be an old fat man with an ugly face, full beard, and rough dark skin.
Although Guan Yu had never seen this person before, his mouth subconsciously called out Tong's old name, whose owner of this name was not even aware of his other identity.
.
Diaochan looked at Guan Yu with 8 wings with a concern.
Upon noticing Guan Yu's reaction after he saw Tong's face, the demoness' heart sunk.
'He found out! Please, don't blurt it to Tong! Don't let him know!'
'If he is aware of his other life, he will get that memory back!!'
.
.
.
Zuo Ci wryly smiled as he witnessed the incomplete awakening of an archangel, Guan Yu.
"Too hasty. Too immature. He will die in ten minutes."
The sage turned around to look at his master, "Goddess. May I save this immature archangel?"
Lilim shrugged, "Go then. Zhang Tong and Guan Yu shouldn't be killing each other in the first place. Don't let Zhang Tong sin any more than what he had done, or my new demon king will be nothing but an incompetent fatass pedophile."
Both Zuo Ci and Lilim could see what Tong's [Other Form] as they had more than 8 wings.
Anyone with 8 wings or more would be able to see the past forms of all souls, which might be cleansed due to the circle of reincarnation.
No soul in the Netherworld had only been reincarnated once or twice. All of them had been through the karmic tribulation for countless times.
Due to the creator's interference with the karma law, all souls would take the shape of their previous reincarnated body. Had a soul reincarnated more than once, they would take the latest form as their default soul appearance.
Tong was the same. He took the default form as a policeman in the modern world.
From Zuo Ci and Lilim's perspective, they could see Tong's other appearance, who had once sinned in this timeline.
He was someone who had tortured and slaughtered innocent civilians for his entertainment. Thus, he spent many lives, working in a policeman or related occupations to protect innocent civilians. Because of the evil deeds in the past, he always ended up getting killed or tortured, living painful lives. And in the end, Tong was sentenced by his karmic fate to come here and save the innocent civilians from the civil wars.
Tong once abused the Han Court's authority and used Liu Xie as a puppet. Thus, he had suffered torture from other's manipulation or someone with political powers, such as Ping and his family. In this life, he ended up protecting Liu Xie as his own son and saved the Han Court's authority from declining.
In the other life, Tong did not treat his adopted son very well. So, he had to teach the latter again and make him walk the right path. He was fated to be a parent who had to teach many children, spending his time imparting his knowledge for every child he had, including Lu Bu.
Still, he was betrayed and killed by Lu Bu in the other life because of the temptation of a woman and power. Therefore, karma brought both of them back and had the victim turned the table on the betrayer. In this life, the father killer, Lu Bu, reincarnated as Khan to be fooled by Liu Yang. Then, Tong killed him in the process, getting the karma served to the child killer as the father paid back the deed.
Tong once had close ties with Diaochan and Dong Bai as they were a family. The incident, which Friday and Medusa reincarnated as these two ladies, was not a coincidence as fate influenced them into choosing those bodies as their hosts, making them a family again one way or another.
Tong's army brought the fall of the Han Court and triggered the civil war. As a result, karma brought him back here to end it with his own hands.
There were other deeds and karmic ties that needed to be solved. However, twists and turns happened along the way as Tong repented for his old sins that he had forgotten. Some were interfered by other sinners, but some were cleansed by his own subordinates.
The demon king who once terrorized the Han Court and ordinary civilians now came back as a sinned saint in a demon clothing.
Tong's redemption trial was far from over.
Lilim sighed, "Go and stop Zhang Tong from killing Guan Yu. I don't want to see my pawn getting tied by another karma. It's frustrating."
Zuo Ci snickered, "Too late. There is no way that he can live a life without tying another karmic knot or two. He killed Liyang's citizens and stole many wives from others. He has a lot to repent."
"Just make it done in his current life. I don't want to reincarnate him like Hua Shi."
"Understood, goddess."
