All Things Are Contracts

In the Heavenly Book world, the Spirit of the Heavenly Book observed the performance of all trial participants. At this moment, she was gritting her teeth as she watched Zhanyue.

“Why, why is his luck so good? I never thought Father would hide this thing in such a place, benefiting that boy,” the Spirit of the Heavenly Book muttered angrily. It was something she wanted for herself, but now it had fallen into Zhanyue’s hands. Fortunately, that Celestial Master Zhang had suddenly died, so even though Zhanyue had obtained the “Eight Divine Incantations”, it wouldn’t be easy for him to learn them. Yes, she was that petty. Thinking of Zhanyue as the master of the Heavenly Book made her furious, after all, as the Spirit of the Heavenly Book, she should be its master. Moreover, this Heavenly Book world was created by her father – the Void Emperor.

“This boy seems to want to cause trouble for that Tuoba Wujiang. I hope Tuoba Wujiang is capable enough to kill him directly and eliminate him,” the Spirit of the Heavenly Book, Wu Yunmeng, continued to observe Zhanyue’s every move, showing no interest in the performance of others.

“Terrible news! Celestial Master Zhang has been abducted!” Suddenly, the entire camp was thrown into chaos.

Tuoba Wujiang, dressed, went over and saw the completely ransacked camp, with only two women lying on the bed.

“You two! Do you know where Celestial Master Zhang went?” Tuoba Wujiang lifted the two women as if they were chickens.

“We… we don’t know. We just woke up,” the women said trembling. They truly knew nothing.

“Useless!” Tuoba Wujiang showed no mercy, strangling the two women to death and tossing them aside like garbage. Then he kicked the two soldiers responsible for guarding the camp, killing them instantly.

“Useless, all useless! Go find him, quickly!” Tuoba Wujiang roared like a madman. He knew better than anyone the importance of Celestial Master Zhang, which was why he had arranged secret guards for protection. However, those guards were the first ones Zhanyue had taken out, without even making a sound.

“Who, who on earth did this!” Tuoba Wujiang roared to the sky. Someone had taken Celestial Master Zhang from his camp of ten thousand men. How could he face others if this got out? And how could he fight the upcoming battles without Celestial Master Zhang’s help?

“It was me!” Zhanyue’s figure suddenly appeared in the camp, immediately targeted by hundreds of archers.

“Who are you?” Tuoba Wujiang’s bell-like eyes fixed on Zhanyue. This person’s mysterious appearance in the military camp suggested extraordinary skills, but he wasn’t afraid, being the number one expert of the Blue Hill Kingdom.

“I am your enemy,” Zhanyue said simply, only wanting to provoke the Blue Hill commander. After revealing himself, Zhanyue used his lightness skill to flee towards the distance.

“Seeking death!” Tuoba Wujiang, enraged, took a few large steps, stepping on soldiers’ heads to pursue, his speed equally impressive.

“General, you can’t! You’re the army commander, how can you leave camp to chase an enemy!” a deputy general shouted from behind. Tuoba Wujiang might have fallen for someone’s trap.

Hearing this, Tuoba Wujiang calmed down and stopped, resisting the impulse. Indeed, as the commander of three armies, he couldn’t leave arbitrarily.

“He’s really calm,” Zhanyue shook his head helplessly, seeing Tuoba Wujiang give up the pursuit.

The next night, the camp’s defenses were even stricter. Everyone slept in armor, and the number of patrolling soldiers doubled. However, it was still useless because Zhanyue could use earth traversing! When the new day dawned, a deputy general was found dead in his own tent.

Looking at the deputy general’s corpse, Tuoba Wujiang gritted his teeth. He was strong and unafraid of the thief, but his subordinates’ lives were in danger.

“Bastard, I’ll tear you apart alive!” Tuoba Wujiang roared.

“Tear who apart?” Zhanyue revealed himself again, taunting: “You’re the Blue Hill commander, you can’t easily leave camp. This place’s guards are sparse, pathetically weak. I’ll come again tonight.” With that, Zhanyue fled into the distance.

This time, Tuoba Wujiang was extremely calm. After some thought, he still gave chase.

“General, you…” Someone tried to dissuade him.

“I know what I’m doing. As long as this little thief isn’t eliminated, our army won’t know peace,” Tuoba Wujiang pursued directly. His lightness skill was also extraordinary, and under Zhanyue’s deliberate slowing down, he indeed caught up.

“Oh? You really dared to chase me,” Zhanyue said admiringly.

Tuoba Wujiang drew the sword at his waist and pointed it at Zhanyue, “Is Celestial Master Zhang still alive?”

Zhanyue shook his head, “Dead.”

Tuoba Wujiang exploded with anger, “Killing my pillar of strength, sabotaging my national affairs, today you must die!” Tuoba Wujiang swung his sword, releasing a blade aura.

Zhanyue hurriedly dodged, and the blade aura directly split the rock behind him in half. Zhanyue drew a sharp breath. This Tuoba Wujiang seemed even stronger than Eunuch Cao, likely one of the top experts in this martial world. Killing him wouldn’t be easy.

“So you’re just exceptional in lightness skill. Such a minor trickster dares to provoke me?” Tuoba Wujiang judged after exchanging a few moves with Zhanyue. Compared to his lightness skill, Zhanyue’s other skills were much weaker. Zhanyue was also somewhat helpless; his realm was only at Spirit Communication, and many techniques and treasures were unusable. If he were at his original level, killing Tuoba would be as easy as slaughtering a pig or dog.

Zhanyue thought for a moment and decided to use the most vicious yet safest tactic – trading injury for life!

Soon after, Tuoba Wujiang’s blade cut into Zhanyue’s shoulder, while Zhanyue’s sword pierced Tuoba Wujiang’s waist. They separated, with Zhanyue clearly more severely injured. Tuoba Wujiang was puzzled; did this person want to perish together with him? Was he worthy?

However, under his puzzled gaze, Zhanyue’s injuries instantly healed.

“What… what?” Tuoba Wujiang touched his own wound, bewildered.

“Can’t figure it out? That’s right! Let’s go again!” Zhanyue once again engaged in battle with Tuoba Wujiang. Each time, Zhanyue’s injuries were more severe, almost to the point of death, but he recovered instantly, while Tuoba Wujiang’s injuries became increasingly serious.

“Are you human or ghost?” Finally, Tuoba Wujiang became afraid. The Zhanyue before him was too bizarre. Instead of fighting to the death, he turned to flee. He wasn’t a fool; this Zhanyue was clearly abnormal.

“Don’t run!” Zhanyue, seeing him trying to escape, naturally wouldn’t let him go easily. This man’s martial prowess was extraordinary. If he had help from others, it would be very difficult to kill him. Zhanyue had already used such an underhanded method; if he couldn’t kill him now, it would be a great loss.

Despite his injuries, Tuoba Wujiang was still formidable, worthy of being Blue Hill’s number one warrior. As long as he ran back, someone would come to his aid soon.

However, at this moment, Zhanyue revealed his true speed, quickly getting ahead of Tuoba Wujiang.

Tuoba Wujiang showed a vicious expression and ran towards the side. In the direction he fled was a huge lake. He ran to the lake’s edge and plunged in. Blood instantly reddened the lake’s surface.

“Escaping into the lake? Does entering the lake mean you won’t die?” Zhanyue pursued, also leaping into the lake. He wasn’t afraid of water. He couldn’t let his efforts go to waste.

Seeing Zhanyue also enter the water, Tuoba Wujiang showed a slight smile, “You’re seeking your own death.” He took out two pearls, one red and one blue.

Soon after, Zhanyue sensed something unusual. The temperature of the lake water around him was rising at a terrifying speed, seemingly boiling in an instant.
