My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Even if Zhou Qingxu was still alive.

If they wanted to continue to target him in the future.

It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for Cheng Guang.

The creatures summoned by Zhou Qingxu, be it the black-haired giant or the Black-faced Vajra Buddha, were mostly similar to those strange Worms.

Cheng Guang had originally planned just to see if those two entities were afraid of Tri-color Grass.

If they were afraid.

Then Cheng Guang would have saved himself a lot of trouble.

But if they weren't.

Cheng Guang didn't have many options, only to take matters into his own hands, live off the fat of the land, think of a strategy, and extract some more power from the Fruits of Path to Divinity for that battle against Zhou Qingxu.

In doing so, although he might have to exert more effort,

Overall, it wouldn't be much of a problem.

Even if he couldn't defeat Zhou Qingxu, with Deng's assistance, escaping wouldn't be difficult.

Although it would be somewhat embarrassing, at least his life would be saved.

Cheng Guang had nothing much to say about that.

Fortunately, the outcome was good in the end.

The Tri-color Grass was effective against the Black-faced Vajra Buddha.

It drove the Black-faced Vajra Buddha into such fear that it willingly slapped Zhou Qingxu just to avoid touching itself.

It killed Zhou Qingxu.

And since the Black-faced Vajra Buddha was summoned by Zhou Qingxu,

The two were essentially one.

So when Zhou Qingxu died,

The Black-faced Vajra Buddha died too.

This meant...

The Black-faced Vajra Buddha would rather take its own life than touch itself???

Realizing this, Cheng Guang's eyes showed a hint of disbelief.

The reaction of the Black-faced Vajra Buddha was even more dramatic than Cheng Guang had imagined.

Recalling the performance of those strange Worms in the Secret Realm, even though they were unwilling to touch themselves, they hadn't made any extreme moves.

Of course.

That might have been because those strange Worms hadn't had anyone behind them, forcing them to attack.

If there had been.

Cheng Guang guessed that those Worms might have, like the Black-faced Vajra Buddha, preferred to take their own lives rather than touch him.

Unfortunately.

Zhou Qingxu was now without a trace.

Otherwise, Cheng Guang was thinking of taking Zhou Qingxu into the Five Daos Mountain Secret Realm if the opportunity arose, to see if he could tame those strange Worms inside.

Since Zhou Qingxu could control the Black-faced Vajra Buddha and that strange black-haired giant,

It was possible he might have tamed the strange Worms as well.

Thinking this, Cheng Guang sighed regretfully.

If those from Hundred Mile City, surrounding Great Zhou and Great Yuan knew what Cheng Guang was thinking, they would likely be terrified.

Beings they didn't even qualify to look up to, Cheng Guang was even thinking of utilizing them.

"Cheng, are you alright?"

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang in Cheng Guang's ear.

It was Deng's voice.

Cheng Guang turned to look.

Looking towards Deng.

At that time, Deng's face was pale, obviously looking overexerted, his breath slightly unsteady, but fortunately he didn't seem to have sustained any injuries or show signs of hurting.

"Deng, I'm fine, thank you for this time," Cheng Guang said to Deng with a smile.

Deng gave an unimpressed snort and pulled out a flask from his bosom, taking a fierce swig for himself.

"You say you're fine, but do you have any idea how scared I was just now?"

"How did you block that attack from the Sky-Man of Great Yuan?"

"And how did the Black-faced Vajra Buddha suddenly stop attacking you and turn to attack the Sky-Man?"

Deng looked intently at Cheng Guang, his face filled with intense curiosity, as if he wouldn't rest without an answer.

Cheng Guang, of course, was not about to give a lengthy explanation but simply smiled, "Deng, I'll explain it to you later."

"Now that you are here, could you do me another favor?"

Deng's mouth twitched slightly, "I thought owing you a favor wasn't going to take much effort."

"I hadn't expected"

"I nearly lost my life this time."

As Deng spoke, he couldn't help but take another look at Cheng Guang, noting that Cheng's expression didn't change at all while listening to him.

No longer could he see that initial reservedness that slipped out unintentionally during their first meeting.

It seemed as if his own cultivation strength was somewhat insufficient in front of Cheng.

Deng hesitated for a moment, poured himself another drink, and then said, "Alright then."

"After all, it was you who drove Zhou Qingxu away, otherwise I might have ended up planted here myself."

"That Zhou Qingxu is far too strange."

"His methods are completely unheard of to me."

"Just tell me straight, what favor do you need from me?"

Hearing this, Cheng Guang, with a smile on his lips, didn't stand on ceremony and pointed across the Hundred Mile City to where the forces of Great Yuan were encamped.

"Deng, could you bring over Prince Wu Ming from Great Yuan for me? He's located in that largest tent over there, very conspicuous. You should be able to spot him with one glance," Cheng Guang said.

Upon hearing this, Deng didn't refuse but instead asked curiously, "Cheng, what do you want with Prince Wu Ming from Great Yuan?"

"Without a Sky-Man, Great Yuan is destined to lose this battle."

"Even if I, and others, don't take action."
