Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Battle of Wits and Fists
As the looming shadow of the Mad Demon Three Head Race threatened the realms, Chan Li's disciples were not ones to cower in fear. Instead, they saw this as the perfect opportunity to showcase their growth. But who said battles had to be all blood and seriousness? The Heavenly Mystical Sect was about to turn war into a spectacle unlike any other.
"Alright, listen up!" shouted Lin Fei, one of Chan Li's senior disciples. He was tasked with leading the vanguard against the invading forces. "We'll be using the 'Heavenly Smacking Palm' technique. Anyone who gets hit should make sure to scream dramatically!"
"Screaming is necessary?" a confused junior disciple asked.
"Of course! How else will they know we mean business?" Lin Fei smirked, adjusting his robes as if he was about to walk onto a stage.
Meanwhile, Yan Ling, the ever-serious disciple, sighed and muttered, "Master always says battles should be fought with skill and precision, not just flair."
"And yet, we have Coca-Cola banners hanging in the background!" another disciple pointed out.
The Invasion Begins. The Mad Demon Three Head Race poured into the battlefield, their monstrous figures and twisted energies shaking the heavens. Leading them was a monstrous three-headed beast, each mouth spitting out dark energy that corrupted everything in its wake.
Lin Fei took a deep breath and shouted, "Phase One! Go!"
Immediately, the first wave of disciples ran forward, wielding formations rather than weapons. Strange glyphs flickered into existence as they activated the 'Heavenly Illusory Battlefield' technique.
Suddenly, the demons found themselves in a bizarre illusion a giant arena with an audience cheering them on. Confetti rained down as a booming voice declared, "Welcome to the Heavenly Mystical Sect's Grand Demon Smackdown!"
Even the demons were confused.
"Are we supposed to fight… or perform?" one of them muttered before a giant spiritual fist slammed him out of the illusion.
The disciples of the sect had been trained not only in combat but also in psychological warfare. They pulled pranks mid-fight, swapping weapons with rubber chickens, casting illusions that made the demons see themselves in frilly dresses, and making every strike come with exaggerated cartoon sound effects.
"What kind of battle is this?!" Madness Chun roared, his three heads fuming with rage.
Chan Li, who was observing the battle from a distance, sipped his tea calmly. "Ah, I taught them well."
Madness Chun's frustration grew as the Heavenly Mystical Sect's disciples continued to dance around his forces, making them look utterly ridiculous. He finally roared, unleashing a powerful attack that shattered the illusions.
Yan Ling stepped forward, gripping his sword tightly. "Alright, fun's over. Time to really fight."
The mood shifted. The disciples, though playful, were still cultivators. With a swift motion, Yan Ling activated the 'Heavenly Sword Slaying Gods Technique', cutting down a dozen demons in a single move.
Lin Fei smirked, "And now, we show them why our sect is feared!"
