Besides, this minor injury is no reason for Xiang Yu to be bothered.
Li Canghai was somewhat puzzled, because the problem now was not with Xiang Yu, but with the God of Wine. Xiao Feng and A Zi both had shadow systems within them, which could directly use healing medicine on them.
Xiao Feng's coma wasn't due to a physical problem, but there was no reason why A Zi's injuries weren't treated. Could it be that the God of Wine disliked A Zi and did it on purpose? But that doesn't make sense either.
However, looking at Xiang Yu's unwavering gaze at the bottom of the valley, Li Canghai roughly understood that something important must have happened at the bottom of the valley, so much so that neither the God of Wine nor the Overlord had time to pay attention to A Zi.
It seems that the Overlord just threw something out, it looks like the Divine Wood King Cauldron?
That means this matter is related to the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Having figured all this out, Li Canghai stepped in front of Azi and tapped her pressure points repeatedly. Azi was immobilized and couldn't make a sound or move. At the same time, Li Canghai stuffed a healing pill into Azi's mouth.
"Everyone, please be quiet and don't disturb the Overlord," Li Canghai reminded them.
Before Azi could figure out what was going on, her vision returned, and she saw a tall, imposing figure, even more masculine than Xiao Feng. It was the first time she had ever seen such a man.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding scenery slowly moved upwards, and they began to descend into the valley.
"Finally caught you, you little rascal." Hao Jiu licked his lips.
"So the Divine Wood King Cauldron is the host of the target system?" Xiang Yu wondered to himself.
“Inanimate objects cannot become hosts, but if that Divine Wood King Cauldron is a spatial treasure, with its own world inside, there might be other creatures inside.”
Hao Jiu cursed inwardly. He had already examined the cauldron, but apart from its ability to increase the speed of martial arts cultivation, he had not found anything unusual about it, and he had not even realized that the Divine Wood King Cauldron was a treasure.
Moreover, as an important prop in the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Hao Jiu did not get his hands on the Divine Wood King Cauldron early on to study it carefully. It was not until A Zi used the Divine Wood King Cauldron to attract poisonous insects to attack the Liao Kingdom's palace and rescue Xiao Feng that he obtained this precious cauldron.
Even so, Hao Jiu still couldn't figure out that the target system was hidden inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron. The idea of a spatial treasure was just Hao Jiu's imagination, and there's no certainty about the truth.
However, after Xiao Feng committed suicide and A Zi jumped off the cliff with him in her arms, time in the entire plane seemed to stand still, and the flow of time dropped from a thousand times to the normal speed. It felt like being frozen in place.
Then the Divine Wood King Cauldron began to shake. Hao Jiu keenly sensed that something was about to come out. What else could it be but the target system?
Therefore, Hao Jiu had Xiang Yu hurriedly open a door and throw the Divine Wood King Cauldron out of the alternate dimension, as fighting inside was not a good option.
Then, Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu saw a goblin-like creature pop out of the Divine Wood Cauldron, constantly spouting "biubiu" and even giving itself voiceover while time-traveling.
After the target system fired several times, it had to face reality: it had been ambushed, the plane was sealed off, it was in danger, it was doomed!
In this situation, the first thing to do is to bind a host, but you are in a deep valley, where can you find a host?
The target system was fretting when it suddenly saw a blind man twitching his body next to it, who must have survived the fall from the cliff.
He must be a master to survive such a high cliff fall. Even if he's not a master, he must have great luck. He's the one!
"Little thief, do you want to live? Quickly bind with me, do you agree or not?" the target system asked You Tanzhi in his mind.
"I don't want to," You Tanzhi said weakly.
"..." The target system was stunned, but then it thought about it and realized it made sense. Who would jump off a cliff if they wanted to live? "Then you must want something, right? Like revenge? You have to have a reason to jump off a cliff, right?"
"If Azi dies, I die; if Azi lives, I live. If she jumps off a cliff and dies, I won't live either. I want to go and join her." As You Tanzhi said this, he tried to lift his head to see where Azi had fallen, but he was in excruciating pain all over his body and couldn't move at all.
"Azi? Oh, she's your wife, right? She's alive and well, but you're about to die. Only I can save you! Bind quickly, or you're doomed! Do you agree to bind?" The target system confidently restarted the binding process.
"Okay, I agree, I agree to the binding." Although You Tanzhi didn't quite understand the specifics of the binding process, he readily agreed for A Zi's sake.
Binding process started, binding process ended, host already has system, cannot bind!
"..." The target system turned tail and ran away. Good heavens, it ran right into the line of fire! No wonder it survived falling from such a height!
"Kill him, mission accomplished." Xiang Yu, wielding his Overlord Divine Halberd, opened an air portal. He had waited over sixty years for this; finally, he saw his target. No wonder he was so eager.
"Okay!" Hao Jiu wasn't afraid at all. Even if the other party really was a system master, he was a system master without a host.
"Wait a minute, Overlord! If there's a battle, we'll help too!" Xuan Ci hurriedly called out.
"No need. You can't help this opponent." Xiang Yu said, then stepped out of the alternate dimension.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty! Uh, can we go out for some fresh air?" Xuan Ci awkwardly but politely cupped his hands. He had already returned to secular life. Ye Erniang, standing beside him, lowered her head and blushed slightly.
“Okay.” Xiang Yu thought that the time was about right. When one reaches the third level of Qi Refining in cultivation, one rarely needs to eat, drink, or relieve oneself. However, some of these people have not yet found the Qi sensation and cannot absorb spiritual energy. Naturally, they are just ordinary people and need to relieve themselves every few hours.
Of course, they could stay in the Boundless Cave if they wanted, but everyone wanted to see their relatives outside, so no one chose to stay, even though there were many inconveniences in the other dimension.
Xiang Yu thought for a moment and then added, "Canghai, release her pressure points."
"Okay." Li Canghai said, and then released Azi's acupoints.
"Brother-in-law!" Azi broke free from her parents' embrace and ran straight to Xiao Feng.
Meanwhile, the bright green goblin was running wildly, searching for any living creature that could serve as a host. It was too dangerous without a host, but luckily, the guy with the system seemed to be too badly injured to get up.
"Huh? Could it be that the system has run out of energy and medicine?" The target system thought to itself, and then realized that even if it were bound to a mouse, it could kill that guy.
Coincidentally, a big fat rat suddenly appeared out of nowhere and crashed into a tree. The target system promptly bound itself to it. Binding to such a lowly animal is very easy.
Then.
*Thud!* The rat was torn to pieces, and the weakened goblin floated out, only to be instantly pierced through the heart by a throwing knife. "Enforcers? Don't shoot, we're on the same side!"
Chapter 443 God’s Tomb
For the target system, the dramatic ups and downs of the system are too exciting.
From escaping from the King's Cauldron and regaining his freedom, to failing to travel through time and space, to discovering a host with good potential in a desperate situation, to failing to bind with the host, to the host being on the verge of death, to the rat he bound dying suddenly, and himself becoming weak, he finally discovered that the other party was an enforcer!
The Goblin System never imagined that the Enforcer would be so happy to have his knife pierced through his heart. It was all a misunderstanding!
"Stop! I'm a law enforcement officer too!"
Hao Jiu raised an eyebrow, and with a whoosh, ten law enforcement throwing knives flew out instantly, forming a blade array to cut through the enemy.
"..." The target system's thoughts ended there, and it lost consciousness before it could self-destruct.
In the years that Hao Jiu has spent in the Tianlong Babu region, he has had plenty of time, so his sword formation has become quite proficient. He has even mastered the chaotic sword technique that instantly kills items, making him incredibly fast at killing systems.
Moreover, the first strike also concealed a small poisonous dragon, precisely to prevent the opponent from self-destructing and to buy Hao Jiu time to kill.
If the other party hadn't claimed to be an enforcer, Hao Jiu wouldn't have planned to use his blade array to kill them instantly; one blade would have been enough to kill them during their weakened state.
The Enforcer's Throwing Knife is the nemesis of systems. It can handle systems that are not weakened, let alone systems that are weakened.
It doesn't matter whether the other party is a real law enforcement officer or a fake one; they must be killed.
"Ugh... What a poor system!" Hao Jiu could hardly believe his eyes. This system was dirt poor, it had nothing, and it hadn't even awakened yet!
The core system module is quite interesting; it's a summoning function that allows the host to summon the most handsome version of themselves to assist in battle!
Hao Jiu was instantly excited, but why did this description feel a bit strange? Why didn't it say "summoning clones"?
"We'll find out if we try." Xiang Yu was also looking forward to it. If he could summon one of himself, regardless of whether he was handsome or not, his fighting power would be doubled.
"Great minds think alike! I've already started the fusion process." Hao Jiu was secretly pleased; no amount of energy could compare to acquiring a good module.
At this moment, Xiao Feng had already woken up. He was very happy to see A'Zhu and Qiao Sanhuai. He suddenly felt that it would be good to die. But what was the meaning of Xuan Ci, Duan Zhengchun and others being here?
However, before Xiao Feng could even ask, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife introduced Yang Xinwan to him. After a tearful reunion, mother and son pulled A'Zhu over and gave Xiao Feng a severe scolding and beating. Xiao Feng repeatedly apologized, leaving A'Zi standing to the side.
Azi felt wronged but couldn't get a word in edgewise. Suddenly, she heard a deity in her mind say that he could help her get Xiao Feng, as long as she agreed to bind with him.
"I agree!" Azi said in her heart, and then...
Ding dong, binding initiated, binding failed, the other party already has a system!
"Holy crap! There's more!" Hao Jiu exclaimed, "I immediately looked at A Zi, and this girl had somehow picked up the Divine Wood King Cauldron!"
Xiang Yu returned instantly and snatched the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
"That's mine..." Azi tried to snatch it back, but was pushed several feet away by an invisible force and crashed directly into Ruan Xingzhu's arms.
"This cauldron originally belonged to Xiaoyaozi, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. It doesn't belong to Ding Chunqiu, much less to you. It should be returned to its rightful owner," Xiang Yu said coldly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! My daughter is unruly, and I will certainly discipline her strictly!" Duan Zhengchun was almost scared out of his wits. Azi actually dared to snatch things from the Overlord.
"Xiao Feng pays respects to the Overlord!" Xiao Feng had already learned that it was Xiang Yu, who was like a god, who had saved everyone. Among them were many people whom Xiao Feng cherished. This great kindness could not be repaid even in a lifetime.
"I won't do anything to her, but this girl really needs to be disciplined. You Tanzhi over there is dying. He is only loyal to Azi. I don't want to save him. If she wants to save him, she can go to Canghai. If she doesn't want to save him, she can give him a quick death."
Xiang Yu knew that Xiao Feng had stepped forward at this time to plead for A Zi, so he had to give him face, even though Xiang Yu hadn't originally intended to hold a grudge against A Zi.
"Yes. Is there anything else you need, Overlord?" Xiao Feng asked respectfully.
"Let's all camp here at the bottom of the valley tonight. You should all be dead by now, so no one is allowed to leave without permission. Xiao Feng, tonight I will take you to fetch your two sworn brothers and let them choose whether to stay in this world or come with me."
Xiang Yu's initial purpose in coming to the Tianlong Babu branch was to find Xiao Feng to return as the chief martial arts instructor, but now that he has saved so many relatives, such as Duan Yu and Xu Zhu, it is not good to separate them. He must give them a choice.
"Yes." Upon hearing that he would be able to see his two brothers again, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile.
Hao Jiu began studying the Divine Wood King Cauldron again. He was certain that there was at least one more system inside the cauldron. So the question was, what exactly was the cauldron like, and how could there be two or even more systems without hosts inside?
"Hey, system inside, come out and let's talk. I promise I won't lay a hand on you. Maybe I'll even let you leave if I'm in a good mood?"
However, the other party acted as if they couldn't hear them at all, offering no response whatsoever.
Whether Hao Jiu crawls into the cauldron himself, sends the shadow system in, or uses the alternate dimension, no flaw can be detected.
"Let's use the old method again and split this cauldron in two." Xiang Yu took out the Overlord Divine Halberd. He had used this method to get that old silver coin, Shou Jun, to come out back then.
"Alright, I'll compensate Xiaoyaozi with an even better cauldron later. This piece of junk isn't even good for alchemy, it's utterly useless." Hao Jiu wholeheartedly agreed.
Xiang Yu glanced at a huge rock next to him, then gently swung his Overlord Halberd, cutting the rock in half as easily as slicing tofu, creating a platform on which he placed the Divine Wood Cauldron.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yu raised himself high and swung his Overlord Divine Halberd downwards, but the cauldron remained unmoved.
Just as he was about to strike the Divine Wood Cauldron, Xiang Yu sheathed his Overlord Halberd and did not strike.
“Phew…” Inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron, atop Golden Mountain, an old man with a vertical line on his forehead breathed a sigh of relief. “It was indeed a bluff. How could such a treasure be cut down so easily? But that divine halberd is truly formidable.”
Beside the old man were two systems: one was a woman with delicate features and a hot figure whose eyes were covered by bangs, and the other was a strange creature with a cat's face, a fox's tail, and a woman's body.
Around the three of them was a cluster of system modules, or rather, the remains of the system, gleaming with golden light, along with several law enforcement throwing knives.
At this moment, Xiang Yu took out a double-headed axe from his spatial storage and placed it under the Divine Wood King Cauldron, saying, "This should be able to withstand my attack."
After saying this, Xiang Yu leaped up again and slashed down with great force, shouting, "Break!"
The white-bearded old man's lips twitched violently. The axe he was using as a support was no ordinary weapon either. "Stop! This cauldron is a spatial treasure. Wouldn't it be a waste to destroy it like this? It's utterly extravagant! What a spendthrift!"
