Chapter 127: Four-Wheel Divine Foundation Simultaneously Scores a Sniper Kill, Five-Colored Divine Light Confronts the King of Hell

God Phase…

The sweat beads seeping from Shangguan Zhengheng's forehead seemed frozen, stiffly hanging on his face.

An invisible force appeared between heaven and earth, making the airflow extremely sluggish and viscous.

Shangguan Zhengheng stood upon the river surface, the waves rising and falling, as if he could sense the undercurrents beneath the river through its surface.

The night wind was chilly, brushing past his cheeks.

It caused every inch of blood in his body to freeze.

But in Shangguan Zhengheng's eyes, a fierce gleam quickly appeared.

Why would a God Phase expert make a move?

Could it be that his affair has been exposed?

Impossible!

He had always been very discreet in his actions, never using the Curse Corpse Technique outwardly; on the surface he was the charming and unrestrained head of the Shangguan family.

With a God Phase Ancestor seated behind him, which God Phase master would suddenly attack him?

Unreasonable!

But Shangguan Zhengheng was unwilling to surrender meekly.

His roar seemed to make the entire river surface boil, while the blood within him grew ever more icy, as if devoid of warmth, completely turning into corpse temperature, all heat drawn out, and the bronze hue on his flesh becoming ever more pronounced.

"Huh? Still want to struggle?"

A faint voice drifted from all directions of heaven and earth, the pressure like a surging tide that swallowed everything.

Shangguan Zhengheng spread his arms, every inch of his bones and muscles trembling, his neck twisted and jerked upward as he let out a low roar that exploded from his mouth.

He forcibly tore apart the pressure brought by the God Phase cultivator with his own physique!

That pressure that left him unable to breathe—the God Phase rank's oppression!

A dim bronze luster surged from his flesh and blood, the deathly aura spreading from every inch of skin and flesh, so thick it induced nausea.

Facing the God Phase cultivator's attack, Shangguan Zhengheng's eyes were bloodshot.

A palm-sized wooden carving, filled with divinity, suddenly appeared, which he crushed without hesitation.

Instantly, towering divine essence roiled!

"You want to kill me?"

"How could it be that easy!"

Shangguan Zhengheng snorted coldly.

After the shattered wooden carving exploded, countless divine essences shot up into the sky, accompanied by a raging wind that roared in all directions, as if inflating a balloon, actually forming a complete God Phase.

An exceptionally clear God Phase appeared high above, its extreme dread emotion bursting forth like a blazing sun in an instant.

Lin Xiu's cold laughter floated between heaven and earth.

She was not surprised that Shangguan Zhengheng decisively crushed the God Phase wooden effigy.

A false image facing a true God Phase ultimately has an insurmountable rank gap.

If Shangguan Zhengheng dared to try, using a novice Curse Bronze Corpse to touch this God Phase cultivator, he would likely be slapped to death.

It is normal for a clan head to possess a God Phase wooden effigy painstakingly condensed by a God Phase cultivator, used to preserve his life.

After all, a clan is not the Fishermen's Gang; when the gang's deputy leader Liu Jinsong was beaten to death, he could not produce such a God Phase wooden effigy.

After all, a God Phase wooden effigy is something a God Phase cultivator spends a year infusing his own God Phase divine essence into the wood, consuming vast amounts of essence, energy, and spirit to condense into a life-saving item.

A God Phase cultivator can at most condense three; any more would affect his God Phase.

Although the Fishermen's Gang leader is a God Phase cultivator, how could he possibly condense a God Phase wooden effigy for an unrelated deputy leader?

Thus, Liu Jinsong originally had no God Phase wooden effigy to save his life.

Li Qingshan also anticipated this, so he summoned Lin Xiu, a God Phase cultivator, to suppress the situation!

With the aid of his family's ancestor's God Phase assistance, he withstood the God Phase pressure brought by Lin Xiu.

Although Shangguan Zhengheng felt pained, he finally broke free of his bonds!

Bang!

He stomped down heavily, and in an instant, like a thousand-ton boulder thrown into the great lake, he stirred up a tremendous wave.

Amid countless raging currents shooting forth, Shangguan Zhengheng wore a cold expression, his flesh taking the form of a Curse Bronze Corpse, violently smashing through layer after layer of waves.

"Finish it quickly—why dawdle?"

"Don't wait for the Shangguan family's old fogey to arrive and make trouble."

A faint voice echoed.

Shangguan Zhengheng stepped down heavily, his eyes instantly bursting with towering killing intent.

He already knew who that voice belonged to.

"Li Qingshan!"

"It's you… Li Qingshan!"

Shangguan Zhengheng's whole body trembled; each droplet of river water that exploded upward was shattered and vaporized by his mighty physical strength.

The hazy river mist surged upward.

"How dare you?!"

The roar echoed.

The next moment, the roar cut off abruptly!

Because the smoke and mist were torn apart, a figure ripped through the river mist and charged forth; his stooped body instantly straightened, countless lightning bolts crackling and intertwining!

From his sleeve slipped a goat-horn hammer, which he swung in an arc; countless lightning bolts intertwined, forming behind Li Qingshan a phantom deity with eagle wings on its back and a blue-faced, fanged visage!

"It's you—how dare you?"

How dare you practice the Curse Corpse Technique, and have even brought it to the point where the Cursed Bronze Corpse is about to enter the gate!

Shangguan Zheng Heng! How many innocent lives have you killed?!

Li Qingshan's cat-face mask exploded instantly, an old face revealed, full of ruthlessness and killing intent!

Anyone associated with the Corpse God Sect must die!

Boom—!

Shangguan Zheng Heng crossed his arms to block, the ram's horn hammer struck his body, which had almost completely transformed into the terrifying flesh of a cursed bronze corpse, transmitting a shockwave like an ancient bell exploding.

Ripple-shaped air currents exploded into concentric expanding shockwaves...

His body shot out, Shangguan Zheng Heng fiercely landed on the river surface, his legs tearing open two white wakes on the water, a look of joy appearing on his face.

"Ram's Horn Breaking Heaven Hammer, that's all..."

Blocked!

Shangguan Zheng Heng felt ecstatic.

Li Qingshan's ram's horn hammer is famously strong in the prefecture city.

It has slain countless experts, yet now he actually blocked it with his flesh!

His flesh can already be called a cursed bronze corpse, only a hair's breadth away from entering the gate; although lacking that hair, the effect seems not great.

Li Qingshan...

Can't kill him!

"Hahaha, the Ram's Horn Breaking Heaven Hammer is just an empty reputation!"

Shangguan Zheng Heng laughed loudly, then without hesitation turned and fled.

He fled in the direction of the Shangguan family.

He had no intention of engaging Li Qingshan in a bloody battle, after all, there was still a True Divine Aspect Practitioner blocked above by the Old Ancestor's Divine Aspect Wood Carving.

Although the Divine Aspect Wood Carving is the Old Ancestor's Divine Aspect incarnation, it cannot block for long!

Fleeing is the correct decision.

Even if the fact that he practices Corpse Curse Technique is exposed, with the Old Ancestor's influence, at worst he would resign as clan head and leave Jin Guang Prefecture.

What can Li Qingshan do to him?

As a dignitary of Jin Guang Prefecture City, he still has his authority; even if Li Qingshan obtains his charges, what then?

If charges alone could condemn him to death, the world wouldn't have so many wrongful convictions!

Although I don't know how Li Qingshan discovered his Corpse Curse Practice and summoned a Divine Aspect to kill him, as long as he can escape, there is an opportunity!

Li Qingshan naturally does not want Shangguan Zheng Heng to escape; he also knows that once Shangguan Zheng Heng lives, given the relationship between the Five Great Clans and the City Lord's Mansion, it would be hard to punish him.

Next time wanting to kill him again won't be so easy!

"Stay!"

Li Qingshan flew into a rage, countless thunderbolts intertwined and coiled!

Thunder Shock Angry Eye, Ram's Horn Slay Evil!

Boom—!

Shangguan Zheng Heng was again blasted away, on the river surface shooting out and dragging white wakes.

But Shangguan Zheng Heng coughed up a little blood, his eyes gleaming, increasingly excited: "Li Qingshan... you can't kill me!"

"You're not even a Divine Aspect; I've become a Cursed Bronze Corpse, you can't beat me to death! Hahaha!"

Li Qingshan remained silent.

On his flesh, tendons and bones trembled, three-headed furious flood dragons roared forth, the supreme martial art, Eight Flood Dragons Churning the River!

True Qi boiled and surged, the waves tumultuous, rising like a curtain to several zhang high!

Grasping the Ram's Horn Breaking Heaven Hammer, he struck again!

If one strike doesn't break it, then two, three...

I'll eventually smash you to pieces!

Splash—!

The river water was torn apart.

The battle on the other side, almost in the blink of an eye, erupted with a heaven-shaking momentum.

However, the crossbow bolt that Shangguan Zheng Heng initially threw out, almost unnoticed by everyone, burst forth with terrifying speed, shooting straight at the small boat like a speedboat.

On the small boat, the girl wearing a squirrel mask frantically activated the divine talisman, increasing the boat's shooting speed!

But Shangguan Zheng Heng is a Void Aspect Practitioner who has also become a Cursed Bronze Corpse of the Corpse God Sect, his power unmatched and tyrannical; the crossbow bolt he launched is so fast it even catches up to the one she shot with the divine talisman.

Sound waves rang bright, leaving white traces on the river surface.

A black shadow, like black lightning tearing the great river, sounded like thunder!

It shot straight through!

"I'm going to die!"

Under the squirrel mask, Shangguan Qinghong's face turned deathly pale, her eyes showing a hint of despair.

As expected...

Still not possible?

She had plotted countless times to assassinate Shangguan Zheng Heng.

Although Shangguan Zheng Heng is her biological father, she hates him intensely, wishing to kill him with her own hands.

Because Shangguan Qinghong personally witnessed her mother being "sacrificially refined" to death by Shangguan Zheng Heng!

That was a nightmare she couldn't shake from her heart!

She could never have imagined that a person could be so evil, watching her mother's flesh melt bit by bit, her heart dripping blood, at that time she swore she would surely kill Shangguan Zhengheng.

As for Shangguan Zhengheng, he didn't care about this daughter at all; after committing atrocities in front of her, he swaggered away.

He even let her grow up well, sparing her life, merely preparing her as material for later sacrificial refinement.

Fortunately, Shangguan Qinghong was later taken in by Lin Xiu and brought to the Qintian Jian, thus escaping that devil.

But Shangguan Qinghong's desire to kill the devil never disappeared.

Tonight, upon learning that Shangguan Zhengheng had, for the first time in these months, spent the night at Yun Fang Fang, she began to plan and act.

The divine talisman crossbow she prepared was her ultimate killing move.

It was also, given her cultivation, the only means capable of threatening Shangguan Zhengheng.

Her way of divine talismans was taught by Lin Xiu; Lin Xiu was a divine talisman master of the Divine Appearance realm, her attainments in divine talisman arts were extraordinarily exquisite. She took in Shangguan Qinghong not only out of pity, but also because she recognized her talent for divine talismans.

"After all……still not enough?"

"Can evil……just run rampant in the world?"

Shangguan Qinghong sat in the small boat, her whole body icy cold, that was the divine crossbow bolt shooting forth, bearing upon it the divine nature of Shangguan Zhengheng's 【Extreme Terror Pluck God】.

As the divine crossbow approached, the pressure of the Illusory Appearance rank weighed down, bringing oppression that gradually left her without even the strength to pull the trigger.

She could only watch helplessly as she awaited death.

Ka-cha ka-cha——

The bolt drew near, the air wave surged, the squirrel mask she wore could not resist this terrifying aura; cracks spread everywhere and it exploded with a bang!

Revealing Shangguan Qinghong's clear, beautiful yet bloodless, tragic countenance.

She did not kill Shangguan Zhengheng, but instead brought her own life to bear upon it.

Shangguan Qinghong was unwilling—not unwilling to die herself, but unwilling……to have failed to kill that beast Shangguan Zhengheng!

However.

Just as she thought she could not dodge the fate of being pierced by that divine crossbow.

A sound of wind and thunder reached her ears, followed by endless ghostly wails, accompanied by the bowstring pulled to the full moon, emitting a creaking, unbearable howl……

Shangguan Qinghong jerked her head back and saw, far away on the river surface, a tall figure.

Wearing a horse-face mask, he strode over the waves, drawing his bow and loosing an arrow!

Boom——

The instant the arrow left the Black Thunder Flood Angry Bow, a vast expanse of wind and thunder exploded!

Shangguan Qinghong only felt the ghostly wails, the angry flood dragon's roar, and the wind-thunder electric roar echoing incessantly in her ears.

Whoosh——

Hundred Ghosts Resentful Wind-Thunder Arrow!

The arrow seemed to shoot forth like streaming light.

It collided with the divine crossbow bolt that Shangguan Zhengheng had thrown back!

The divine natures contained within the arrow and the bolt collided and burst forth!

Boom——

An invisible shockwave of impact spread out in concentric circles; the surging river water rose high on both banks, countless splashing water droplets were shattered into water mist.

This arrow directly blasted the trajectory of the divine crossbow, sending it flying sideways off course, completely losing its aim; it grazed Shangguan Qinghong's smooth, fair cheek, howling away into the distance.

It silently sank into the river surface, piercing straight to the riverbed.

"Huh?"

Shangguan Qinghong gasped heavily, her chest rising and violently falling, her eyes still holding the terror of life and death.

Not dead……

The crossbow bolt was deflected by an arrow!

That arrow was a life-saving arrow!

Shangguan Qinghong only felt her whole body go limp, she slumped softly onto the boat, panting continuously.

And that tall figure wearing the horse-face mask had already stepped onto the boat.

"May I borrow the boat for a moment."

The horse-faced one said lightly.

"Senior……thank you for saving my life!" Shangguan Qinghong widened her eyes, grateful.

However, the horse-faced one did not respond to her.

Standing on the boat, the eyes beneath the horse mask were extremely deep and sharp.

The next moment, he took out the "Namu Immortal Craft Barrett"; compared to the previous time he shot Qin Yuqing, the Immortal Craft Barrett had been improved and enhanced considerably.

Its power now was far greater than before.

But this time, the target was also far stronger than Qin Yuqing.

Shangguan Zhengheng, Illusory Appearance cultivation, his flesh forged into bronze corpse……

"Sniping should be a bit difficult."

"But at this distance, I can give it a try."

The horse-faced one seemed to murmur softly; the next moment, he took out a dragon's-tooth bodhi seed bullet that looked like a work of art.

Behind him, Shangguan Qinghong stared wide-eyed, taking a deep breath.

She seemed……to know who this person was!

The divine archer who, from tens of li away, had shot and killed Qin Yuqing of the Qin family!

So……it really wasn't the Ox Demon who killed Qin Yuqing after all!

The case is solved!

Shangguan Qinghong only felt that she had discovered a great secret!

Mamian……

The one who killed Qin Yuqing is Mamian!

What is he going to do now?

Shangguan Qinghong actually felt like she was chasing a star; she stood up, not daring to breathe.

Watching Mamian stuff that strange hidden weapon into the weird mechanism.

Like a bow yet not a bow, like a crossbow yet not a crossbow…

Even the divine-talisman crossbow couldn't kill Shangguan Zhenghe; the device in Mamian's hand, which looks not very powerful, could it be useful?

The news of Qin Yuqing being shot dead from dozens of li away spread like wildfire, but Shangguan Zhenghe is no ordinary Qin Yuqing.

"Senior... want to try adding power to the divine talisman?"

Shangguan Qinghong tried to ask.

The eyes beneath the horse-face mask finally turned slightly, looking toward Shangguan Qinghong.

Divine talisman?

Li Che's heart twitched slightly.

But in the end he still chose to shake his head.

Sniping is a very serious matter; many things must be considered. Who knows what effect adding a divine talisman without authorization will have?

If it weakens the damage, then it would be a loss not worth the gain.

Moreover, the fusion of the divine talisman and the Barrett may still need various tests and adjustments.

It's not something you can just use and have it work.

Li Che refused Shangguan Qinghong's goodwill.

Afterward, he held his breath and focused his spirit.

No longer paying attention to Shangguan Qinghong, Li Che donned the horse-face mask, slowly exhaled a breath, and his essence, qi, and spirit instantly twisted into a single strand.

Li Che's killing intent toward Shangguan Zhenghe was intense beyond anything before.

This is an enormous threat.

This person not only shouted at his daughter Xixi.

He also harbored improper thoughts toward his wife.

He deserves to die!

Today, with Li Qing Shan and Lin Xiu restraining him, it is an excellent opportunity to kill Shangguan Zhenghe.

Li Che will absolutely not let this opportunity slip.

So, he will employ his strongest means…

Sniper, Mamian!

Ready!

……

……

He suddenly raised the Immortal Craft Barrett clenched in his hand; Mamian half-squatted on the bow, and the ripples from the Jiang water caused the boats floating on it to rise and fall.

Divinity emanated from Mamian's body, and the swaying boats instantly became as solid as if poured with cement, impregnable.

An intense killing intent seeped out from Mamian's body in threads.

In his chest, the Dao fruit of the Chess Sage trembled and jumped.

In an instant, the heaven-and-earth chessboard took the unmoving little boat on the Jiu Long Jiang's surface as a star point, expanding outward in intersecting lines.

Within the chessboard, strands of aura were very obvious and strong.

Lin Xiu's divine appearance aura was extremely brilliant, like a scorching sun; Li Qing Shan's aura was also not weak, emitting white light, while Shangguan Zhenghe's aura was pitch black, emitting extremely intense dark qi.

Obviously, Shangguan Zhenghe's killing intent toward Li Che was extremely intense.

What a coincidence, when you want to kill me…

I also want to kill you.

This is a mutual pursuit.

The Immortal Craft Barrett is engraved with many patterns, which are actually similar to the runes on divine talismans, able to gather and accumulate divinity!

This is also why Li Che's improved Immortal Craft Barrett has its power boosted by a whole level!

Heaven and earth... suddenly fell silent.

Only the sound of inhaling and exhaling, adjusting the breath, remained.

In the distance.

Li Qing Shan and Shangguan Zhenghe, who had turned into a curse-copper corpse, were chasing each other.

Shangguan Zhenghe covered his head and ran straight toward the riverbank without a doubt, intending to rush back to the Shangguan manor to seek the protection of the Divine Appearance Old Ancestor.

But Li Qing Shan intended to take advantage of Shangguan Zhenghe's return to kill him.

Therefore…

Li Qing Shan held nothing back.

However, the curse-copper corpse's tenacity and stench-hardness surpassed that of the curse-iron corpse; it bluntly resisted Li Qing Shan's several blows as if it were unharmed.

Nevertheless, Li Qing Shan did not easily give up; he raised his horned hammer again, and countless thunderbolts spreading like a spiderweb were attracted and mobilized.

He fiercely swung it down, like an angry dragon roaring, and heavily struck the body of Shangguan Zhenghe who had become a curse-copper corpse.

Shangguan Zhenghe's flesh was almost twisted into a strange deformation, but its formidable hardness and toughness prevented him from dying from that.

Like a cannonball, it shot out, smashing into the river surface, raising a continuous spray of exploding water columns.

When the last water spray burst, Shangguan Zhengheng leapt up with a flip, coughing up a mouthful of blood, his bronze-hued bodily light flowing together with thick death qi.

He then sought to escape again.

But at the instant he had just steadied his stance after flipping over,

Five hundred zhang away, the Horse Face's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Now is the time!

Within the heaven-and-earth chessboard.

A dim-black temple-god divinity chess piece suddenly appeared before the Horse Face, exploding with a bang into thick black mist, which merged onto the bullet 'Dragon Tooth Bodhi', causing the Dragon Tooth Bodhi to exude black smoke.

Its momentum surged upward step by step!

Divine sense locked onto Shangguan Zhengheng's aura on the chessboard!

"This shot——"

"Four-Wheel Divine Foundation……burst forth together!"

"I'll send you——"

"Meet the King of Hell!"

Li Che inhaled and exhaled, and heaven and earth fell silent in an instant.

"Burst."

He fiercely pulled the trigger!

Instantly, the Horse Face's mask cracked at the brow; within his inner vision, the Four-Wheel Divine Foundation almost simultaneously appeared behind him.

Divinity……blanketing heaven and earth!

【Three-Eyed Fury True Lord】、【Resentful Cry Ghost-Suppressor】、【Suspended Thought Flow Sword】、【Heart-Astonished Shock Strong】！

Anger, grief, thought, shock!

The Four-Wheel Divine Foundation, like a grindstone, simultaneously like a mandala blooming in hell, unfurled behind the Horse Face; surging divinity welled up almost simultaneously and poured into the 'Immortal Craft Barrett'.

As if with a charging sound 'hmm——', it continuously accumulated!

Shangguan Qinghong's legs went weak, she slumped directly onto the small boat, her eyes wide, as if losing her divine light, she stared blankly at the unfolding Four-Wheel Divine Foundation……

One person……

How could one possibly possess a Four-Wheel Divine Foundation?!

Is this a person?

Is this a person?!

Boom————!

The terrifying blast caused sound waves to almost simultaneously explode; the crimson Barrett, intertwined with five colors, besides the colors of the four great divine foundations, also bore a black divinity from the temple god within the Dragon Tooth Bodhi!

Like a peacock facing the morning sun, it spread its tail!

The immensely powerful shockwave, after the Dragon Tooth Bodhi roared and surged out of the barrel, flooded and swept over.

The entire vessel violently heaved in an instant, the terrible recoil shockwave making it tremble near to bursting, countless cracks appearing on the boat.

The boat seemed to activate speedboat mode, shooting backward over a hundred meters!

Around it, layers of curtain-like water waves exploded up and then swiftly fell!

A flash of extremely splendid golden light appeared and flickered, then……

The blazing-red Dragon Tooth Bodhi shot forth!

Wrapped in five-colored divine light!

Tearing the sound barrier, it burst through the void!

……

……

Shangguan Zhengheng laughed loudly, bronze-colored light radiating from his whole body, thunder shaken off by his flesh, completely thrown off.

Once again he blocked Li Qingshan's hammer, feeling utterly refreshed!

Although he could not defeat Li Qingshan.

But Li Qingshan also could not break his defense, nor could he kill him!

As long as he doesn't court death, single-mindedly choosing to flee back to the Shangguan Manor to gain the old ancestor's protection, he will not die!

Suddenly.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion!

It suddenly erupted from the distant boat!

He faintly saw the Four-Wheel Divine Foundation rising up……

He saw the incredibly splendid golden light bursting forth!

Then……

His hairs stood on end!

His eyes nearly burst!

The mortal danger blanketed heaven and earth over him!

His whole body, the bronze corpse curse driven to the extreme, burst forth with splendid ancient bronze light, thick death qi surging!

He stepped down fiercely, as if turning into a bronze bell.

But the bronze-colored light had just begun to flow……

Then his chest suddenly felt a sharp pain!

That five-colored divine light that had suddenly appeared in the distance……

In less than a breath, it pierced his cursed copper corpse's chest, and the corpse's formidable defense was torn open by that terrifying penetrating power!

A shrill, mournful howl.

His fleshly body instantly exploded into one bloody mist after another!

Each drop of blood gouged out fell like tears from a bodhi seed, pattering and scattering across the ground!

At this moment……

Only then did Shangguan Zhengheng hear a thunderous ripping sound in the air!

Li Qingshan, wearing a cat-face mask, flashed his body and appeared at the side of Shangguan Zhengheng, whose cursed copper corpse flesh had been shattered and was surrounded by exploding blood mist.

He swung a hammer at his now-defenseless head!

Smack——!

The skull exploded, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and brain matter splattered!

At that moment, Li Qingshan was shocked to the point of terror, his hammer‑hand trembling slightly.

"Fuck!"

"This is the Ox Demon's friend... Horse Face?!"

"What a fast shot!"
