Chapter 175: 175. Chapter 174: When the honest father
175. Chapter 174 When the honest father begins to get angry, stripping the little prince bare to face fear
Whooo—
The cold wind howled, the winter rain poured down!
The icy rain was like an extremely sharp steel knife, pouring down from a height of ten thousand feet, slicing the air, and upon contact with the body it brought a bone‑chilling cold, as if it wanted to tear flesh apart!
Zhang Ya's eyes narrowed, her long legs tensed, she tapped the ground and halted the steps that were about to enter the vegetable market.
Immediately, she swiftly retreated!
After Li Che's relentless cleansing of the flesh with pure-hearted divine nature, Zhang Ya seemed to also possess a keen sense of danger in her intuition.
The faint danger emanating from the vegetable market made her hairs stand on end.
Danger!
Zhang Ya retreated without hesitation!
Beside her, an old woman selling vegetables at a stall, the moment Zhang Ya appeared with her vegetable basket, inadvertently glanced over.
Seeing Zhang Ya suddenly retreat, she felt a slight surprise.
But years of assassination experience let her realize that this woman had already discovered her ambush.
She had originally planned to wait for Zhang Ya to come ask about vegetable prices, then slash her throat with a drawn blade, ending her life smoothly to complete the assassination.
She never expected that this woman would see through it beforehand.
No wonder she is the mother of the Golden Light Prefecture's sixty‑year genius child; she truly is extraordinary.
According to the intelligence, this Zhang Ya is merely a Bone‑Tempering Realm martial artist, probably just a showy figure.
But this sense of danger is worth praising.
The old woman no longer concealed herself; she swept her hand beneath the vegetable‑laden table, and a dark blade flashed into her grasp.
She stomped down heavily; the ground trembled and suddenly collapsed!
Boom—!
＿￠O
It was as if thunder exploded from flat ground!
The old woman's robes billowed, her qi and blood surged, and using the rebound force from stomping the ground into collapse, her figure shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
The blade, drawn!
A surge of true qi burst forth from the sharp black blade, shining brilliantly!
Her figure moved like a ghost, tapping the ground repeatedly and kicking up rolling stones!
Like a whirlwind sweeping up fallen leaves, she rushed toward Zhang Ya at breakneck speed!
Boom—!
The surging air currents were instantly torn apart!
A powerful and terrifying gust of wind swept straight at her!
Zhang Ya's face turned deathly pale, yet her eyes shone with unprecedented sharpness and resolve!
An assassin…… the assassin who wants to kill her!
Although Zhang Ya didn't understand why an assassin would target an ordinary woman like her.
But she could roughly guess the reason.
It must be related to Xixi!
Do they want to affect Xixi's upcoming Temple God Resonance Assembly?!
Oh no, will her husband also be targeted for assassination?
At this moment, Zhang Ya even thought of her husband's safety!
Whoo—!
That assassin old woman's body surged with qi and blood, the grandmaster's aura pressing down fiercely!
A grandmaster assassinating a Bone‑Tempering cultivator.
This is practically a sure thing, too easy.
Even a Bone‑Tempering cultivator giving their all could not possibly block a grandmaster martial artist's assassination!
This is like using a cattle knife to kill a chicken!
As the first assassination mission dispatched by the Hunter God Pavilion to the prefectural city, stationed in Golden Light Prefecture.
The Hunter God Pavilion can be said to place great importance on this!
The assassin sent to kill Li Che is a killer two realms above his profound meridian, a mid‑rank grandmaster plus a Divine Foundation Later Realm, basically a sure win.
As for assassinating this Bone‑Tempering Realm Zhang Ya, they even dispatched a grandmaster!
They strive to ensure this assassination mission succeeds flawlessly!
One could say they are giving this couple's reputation a full boost!
In the old woman's stride, her speed was too fast—moving with the wind, the air howling, her robes rustling; from erupting to closing in on Zhang Ya took only two or three breaths!
A jet‑black, non‑reflective black blade was drawn and swept toward Zhang Ya's slender, fair neck!
To pluck that pretty head right off her neck!
Suddenly.
From within Zhang Ya's robes, a black shadow suddenly darted out.
The old woman's sweeping black blade struck that black shadow, actually producing the clang of fine steel on steel!
The tremendous rebound force made the old woman feel as if her black blade might be flung away.
Qi surged wildly, true qi inhaled and exhaled!
The old woman turned her long blade in hand and swept it out again, cold‑faced, slashing toward Zhang Ya!
In the blink of an eye, she also caught a glimpse of what the black shadow darting out from Zhang Ya's body was.
It was……
A snake!
Its entire body was a slender mechanical snake forged from metal superior to fine steel!
Just then, the mechanical snake shot out like lightning, knocking away the old hag's killing blow.
"A mechanical snake?"
The old hag's head buzzed.
She swung her black blade again, but the mechanical snake blocked it once more!
Clang clang clang clang—
After several successive slashes, the mechanical snake moved so fluidly it didn't seem like a mechanism at all, blocking all of her sword techniques!
This……
The old hag assassin's heart sank.
Tang Clan mechanical beast!
Suddenly.
The old hag's hairs stood on end as she sensed an unprecedented, extreme killing intent!
It was as if, while climbing a mountain, the whole mountain range was suddenly shattered and began to topple downward before her eyes, plunging her vision into utter darkness and oppression.
That was a burly figure like a towering wall, oppressive and cramped, impossibly high!
The old hag tapped the ground with her toes, creating a small crater that caved in and exploded, hoping to launch herself away.
A black bead appeared in her hand.
She fiercely crushed the black bead, and black smoke erupted, completely enveloping her body; the smoke could block divine sense probing and possessed a technique similar to the Corpse God Sect's time-space corpse technique!
This is the evasion means possessed by the God-Hunter Pavilion's assassins.
It guarantees the safety of the assassins.
But……
Only usable once.
Wrapped in the black smoke, the old hag tried to break free and flee.
But she discovered a large hand precisely tearing open the black mist that obscured divine sense, pressing down on her as half her body was shoved into the black mirror behind it.
A palm-sized large hand grabbed her head.
Then, with an irresistible force, it violently yanked her out from within the transmitting black mirror!
Pfft!
The old hag was dragged out of the black mist, and then all she saw was an extremely cute cow mask……
And then she lost consciousness completely.
With a pfft, blood sprayed from the old hag's crushed head splattered onto the cute cow mask.
Boom—!!!
A flash of lightning streaked across, and thunder boomed from the flat ground.
In an instant, it crashed onto the ground.
With hands behind his back, Li Qingshan strode forth, his blue robes billowing as he appeared.
Li Qingshan stood on the mountain peak, contemplating and magnifying the image of the Thunderbolt Slayer of Evil Gods.
The moment he sensed that Zhang Ya had been ambushed in the small town halfway up the mountain, he immediately set off.
However, someone was faster than him.
An intensely thick killing aura, as if it could not dissipate, oppressive and cramped, surged and billowed!
A fierce wind rose, a terrifying gale formed by the surging qi emanating from the Ox Demon's body.
Li Qingshan's eyes narrowed, his heart involuntarily trembling!
So strong!
What kind of physique is this?
What a formidable fleshly body!
Li Qingshan even felt the Ram Horn Heaven-Shattering Hammer hidden in his sleeve tremble slightly, a reaction stimulated by the released qi and blood!
"Ox Demon!"
Li Qingshan knew the Ox Demon was Li Che, but at this moment he did not expose the Ox Demon's identity.
Zhang Ya's face turned deathly pale; the mechanical snake coiled around her slender waist, so she only experienced a slight fright in this assassination attempt.
When the Ox Demon's burly, tower-like figure instantly appeared, Zhang Ya's heart settled.
She knew she was safe!
Li Che casually tossed the assassin's corpse aside and, in passing, wiped away the Heaven and Earth Jade.
He came to Zhang Ya's side, glanced over, saw his wife unharmed, and exhaled.
The mechanical snake he had specially made for his wife indeed proved useful at the crucial moment.
Of course, even without the mechanical snake, Zhang Ya still had other protections left by Li Che on her person.
The safety of his family is what Li Che values most.
Although his wife Zhang Ya does not contend with others, he fears others coming to cause trouble, as today's assassination shows.
Both husband and wife have suffered assassination attempts.
Li Che's combat prowess is unmatched, so he could easily resolve it, but Zhang Ya is merely at the Bone Tempering Realm.
The God-Hunter Pavilion actually dispatched an assassin of Grandmaster cultivation without hesitation!
How ruthless!
God-Hunter Pavilion!
Li Che's killing intent almost turned into a thick, undissipating substantive ink!
"I'm fine." Zhang Ya gently shook her head, her eyes warm like water.
Her husband could appear by her side the instant she faced danger; this unprecedented sense of safety made her unable to help but sink into it, a sweet blush rising on her face, surpassing all the sweet nothings exchanged between a newlywed couple.
Li Qingshan walked over, his eyes narrowing: "God-Hunter Pavilion?"
"Good fellow..."
Li Qingshan's face also turned a bit cold: "God-Hunter Pavilion just entered the prefecture city—I never expected the first assassination to break out, targeting you guys."
"It's fine." Li Che said lightly from beneath the ox-demon mask.
"Probably, we can already guess who hired them."
Li Che was very calm.
Li Qingshan's eyes flickered, and he also understood.
Most likely, it can only be that little prince, Ji Haihui.
At this critical juncture, if Li Che and Zhang Ya were to die, the merely four-year-old Xixi, no matter how mature and strong, would suffer an unprecedented shock to her heart.
In the Temple God Resonance Assembly, abnormal manifestation is possible.
Therefore, while this appears to be an assassination targeting Zhang Ya and her husband, the true target is actually Li Che!
Li Che twisted his neck, and a crackling sound exploded in his spine.
"Senior Qingshan, please help."
Li Qingshan nodded slightly with his hands behind his back.
Niu Mo walked to Zhang Ya's side, reached out and patted her head.
"Stay safe."
Under Zhang Ya's concerned gaze.
Niu Mo gave a slight nod, then clenched his fingers and vanished into thin air.
Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently.
Witnessing Niu Mo's godlike translocation technique firsthand was simply shocking enough to make his scalp tingle.
However, he quickly calmed his mind.
He glanced at the assassin corpses on the ground, his eyes turning cold.
The God-Hunter Pavilion could actually infiltrate the Golden Light Sect's branch so easily.
It seems……
We need to thoroughly investigate and clean up the sect.
Li Qingshan did not let Zhang Ya go home alone; he brought her to find Granny Mu to guarantee her safety.
As for what Niu Mo is going to do, why not bring him along to play?
Li Qingshan didn't pay attention this time.
The God-Hunter Pavilion is about to suffer great misfortune.
Who asked it to pick the toughest nut to crack for its first assassination mission?
……
……
Crack!
Dark clouds murkily veiled the heavens, lightning serpents rolled, crushing the thick cloud layers.
The rain grew ever more torrential, dousing and scouring the entire Golden Light Prefecture City.
By the Nine Dragon River lay a stretch of endless pavilions.
A figure holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing a felt cap hurried along the streets of the prefecture city, where floodwaters streamed from the violent rain.
Entering the endless pavilions, winding seven turns and eight through the lanes where pavilions stood in rows, he finally arrived before an inconspicuous small building amidst the endless pavilion structures.
Tide-Watching Pavilion, once one of the five great sects of Golden Light Prefecture City, was not insignificant in reputation.
Built along the riverbank, it occupied a prime, land‑golden district of the prefecture city, covered a vast area, heard to have dabbled in various industries, and possessed immense wealth.
However, the umbrella‑holding figure was stopped by someone when he was ten zhang from the small building.
A figure wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat had, at some point, blocked the entrance.
"Halt."
"Mission failed, report."
The figure exhaled a breath and spoke in a low voice.
The God-Hunter Pavilion's first deployed mission ended in total failure—Li Che and his wife killed none, and both assassins lost all contact.
The figure in the raincoat and bamboo hat blocking the door slightly changed expression.
He turned sideways, opened the door, and let the person step inside the small building.
The figure entered, umbrella lowered, shook off the rain, set the oil-paper umbrella aside, brushed off the moisture on his body, and walked into the warm, spring‑like interior of the small building.
After a moment, he arrived before the tightly shut door of a room and knocked on it.
Upon entering the house, however, it proved to be another world.
Beyond the small door lay an extraordinarily vast secret realm, containing heaven and earth.
Various mechanisms were arranged, and many masked personnel were sorting the multitude of intelligence reports sent back by the God-Hunter Pavilion's spies in Golden Light Prefecture City, categorizing the information.
The God-Hunter Pavilion not only accepts commissioned assassinations, but is also a top‑tier information power in the world, where information can be purchased here.
The visitor bowed his body and came before a table.
A figure wearing a golden mask was flipping through documents, summarizing information.
Pavilion Master, the mission failed; our two assassins from the God-Hunting Pavilion have lost contact, likely dead.
The visitor clasped his fists and spoke in a deep voice.
He was the one responsible for contacting the assassin; as soon as the two assassins died, he would receive the news.
Li Che… his cultivation is at the initial stage of Divine Foundation in the Profound Pulse; the cultivation intel is correct—so why did our assassins… die?
An experienced assassin first used divine-soul crystal powder to suppress Li Che's Divine Foundation cultivation, then, with overwhelming Master middle-stage cultivation, carried out the assassination…
I can't think of a reason for the assassination's failure, unless… Li Che is hiding his cultivation.
The figure wearing the golden mask tapped his fingers lightly,
Things are off to a bad start.
The golden-masked figure shook his head: "False information kills people… the importance of information goes without saying."
Speed up the deployment of the God-Hunting Pavilion's intelligence network in Golden Light Prefecture City.
Understood.
Also, contact the young prince and say… the price for killing Li Che and his wife must be tripled.
If the price isn't raised, the God-Hunting Pavilion won't take the job.
Understood.
The figure withdrew.
He slowly disappeared into the bustling crowd.
The golden-masked figure tapped his fingers lightly, and two black jade pendants shattered—these were the life jades of the two Nine Luminaries assassins of the God-Hunting Pavilion.
The assassins of the God-Hunting Pavilion are carefully cultivated, with resources poured into them.
Every assassin's death is a loss for the God-Hunting Pavilion.
Not even the minor displacement technique could be activated in time?
It seems they discovered some great secret.
……
……
Li Che walked through the heavy rain.
He wore a bamboo hat, his aura restrained, as if he had vanished from the mortal world.
He walked in the darkness, bathed in rain.
The rain curtain automatically separated from around his body.
Li Che's heart pounded nonstop, intense killing intent spreading like thick ink in the rain.
God-Hunting Pavilion…
Li Che's eyes were icy cold.
Although the other party was just taking money to do a job… Li Che was still very unhappy.
Family is Li Che's reverse scale.
They were all coming for Li Che, and Li Che wouldn't be this angry and furious, but the God-Hunting Pavilion's target was Zhang Ya…
Then the anger in Li Che's chest was completely ignited.
With a step down, Li Che's figure leapt onto the roof of an ornately decorated eight-cornered, multi-eaved building.
Standing on the roof, Li Che pushed the Sleeping Dragon Elephant of the Dragon Elephant Vajra to its limit.
A level 4 Dao Fruit will enhance all abilities.
The Sleeping Dragon Elephant's breath-concealing ability also rose considerably.
Li Che was now almost like he was invisible.
God-Hunting Pavilion, the young prince Ji Hai will…
Li Che closed his eyes.
A familiar sense of danger, like a storm, enveloped his whole body.
Just as when he first felt the powerful danger in Fēiléichéng, a deep-seated unease and panic penetrated to his marrow.
Thinking of his small home, it would face a terrifying iceberg, then be struck and shattered into pieces.
Xixi dies miserably, Zhang Ya dies miserably… I too will die miserably…
A beautiful, happy family, torn apart.
Li Che lifted his head; rainwater slid down the edge of the bovine mask, then merged into the rain, striking the black eaves and shattering into pieces.
He raised his hand and fiercely tapped his brow.
Instantly, the Chess Sage Dao Fruit in his chest throbbed violently.
The heavenly and earthly chessboard, centered on Li Che's position, interlaced vertically and horizontally, with field lines delineated, descended.
Gao De Chess Sage… returns to the martial world.
A powerful divine sense swept over like a storm.
Every person and matter in the city became clear and distinct in his perception.
In the teahouse below, the lovely tea server's motion of brewing tea froze.
The storyteller's mouth poured forth like a hanging river, and the spit he sprayed congealed in midair.
The street vendor who had set up a stall used a wooden basin to collect the leaking rainwater and splashed it out; the water curtain mixed with distinct droplets, condensing in midair.
Everything seemed to slow down within Li Che's Chess Sage perception.
Suddenly.
Li Che opened his eyes.
Raindrops burst open, the white, misty water vapor still lingering in place, while the burly, towering mountain-like ox demon had already darted out like a sparrowhawk.
……
……
The assassins of the Hunter God Pavilion are different from the Corpse God Sect.
Li Che mastered the refinement of the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Mother-Child Seal, enabling him to sense the Corpse God Sect's experts using death qi and corpse qi.
However, the assassins of the Hunter God Pavilion are all skilled at disguise, and they have no death qi or corpse qi as a giveaway.
Therefore, Li Che's attempt to pluck out the Hunter God Pavilion's assassins from the vast sea of people is difficult, very difficult.
But……
Since Li Che had confirmed in his heart that it was the Young Prince Ji Haihui who hired the Hunter God Pavilion to kill him and his wife.
If that mission fails, the Hunter God Pavilion will certainly send someone to notify the Young Prince's forces.
And this…… gives Li Che an opportunity!
Li Che also clearly knows that even he, wanting to kill the Young Prince, is not an easy matter.
There is a martial arts grandmaster Xue Dufu guarding, and also a mysterious Divine Origin True Person hidden in the darkness.
Furthermore, there are six Black Armor Blood Guards; combined, they can rival a grandmaster……
Such a lineup.
Moreover, the Young Prince resides in the City Lord's Mansion, guarded by the Divine Guard Army.
Li Che wanting to kill the Young Prince is indeed difficult; although he is angry, the angrier he gets, the calmer he becomes.
Even if changed to a horse face, using the Immortal Craft Barrett, it is still difficult to snipe the Young Prince.
Because the Divine Origin True Person has primordial spirit perception and interception.
Divine Origin True Person…… speaking solely of divinity cultivation, possessing a powerful transformative primordial spirit, even more troublesome and harder to deal with than a grandmaster.
Wanting to kill the Young Prince……
Must carry out an extremely meticulous plan.
Hunting……
It is essentially a contest of patience.
Today's grudge, Li Che has noted it.
The score, can be slowly calculated.
「Ji Haihui……」
「Wanting to kill Xixi's parents, affecting Xixi's mindset……」
Li Che's eyes were icy cold.
Then we shall use his own method against him.
Although Li Che cannot kill the parents of Young Prince Ji Haihui.
But there is another way to shake the Young Prince's state of mind.
Li Che wore a cute ox mask, his body close to the wall as he walked.
He monitored the situation outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Slowly, he saw a familiar figure: Grandmaster Xue Dufu wearing a bamboo hat walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and boarded an ordinary carriage.
The carriage galloped, its wheels turning, crushing the water on the ground.
Li Che tapped his toe down, shattering the wind and rain all over the sky, swiftly following close behind.
Inside the carriage.
Xue Dufu made contact with the personnel of the Hunter God Pavilion.
The black-robed Hunter God Pavilion member wearing a black iron mask spoke out the situation.
Xue Dufu's brows instantly furrowed: "Still have to triple it?!"
Too high!
Li Che's assassination price is two Seven Yuan Divinity Crystals!
Triple it…… that would be six Seven Yuan Divinity Crystals!
This price is too extravagant!
The black iron-masked black-robed person shook his head: "The Pavilion Master's quote is thus; we Hunter God Pavilion have already lost two Nine Radiance assassins…… if we wish to assassinate Li Che again, we must trigger the Eight Extremes assassins……"
"Eight Extremes assassins making a move is inherently costly."
"If not accepted, the mission is void, no refund."
Xue Dufu took a deep breath.
Six Seven Yuan Divinity Crystals, to kill one Li Che……
What a loss.
Even though the crystals spent are not his own Xue Dufu's divinity crystals, he still feels extremely uncomfortable.
……
……
Whoosh—
The air currents surged!
Li Che transformed into a burly ox demon, stepping forward, his figure rising and falling, the scenery on both sides swiftly receding.
Xue Dufu ahead, Li Che did not rush to attack.
He intended to gradually sever the Young Prince's left and right arms.
Xue Dufu, the six Black Armor Blood Guards, and that mysterious Divine Origin True Person……
One by one comes, none can escape.
But we need to be faithful, not add. Let's translate each line.
We'll go line by line.
They come one by one, none can escape.
When the protective power they pride themselves on is taken away one by one, it feels like being forcibly stripped of their clothes, piece by piece.
Their sense of security shatters and fragments; fear follows like a shadow, entwining like a nightmare.
Naturally, it can also affect the mood of Little Prince Ji Haihui.
It prevents him from performing perfectly at the Temple God Resonance Assembly.
This is called 'using his own way to treat his own body'.
This is the consequence of angering a father.
The carriage is parked by the roadside, the two inside talking.
The Ox Demon hangs silently behind, following along.
When the Sleeping Dragon Elephant is activated, he seems to hide between heaven and earth, completely cut off from the world.
Although Xue Dufu is a Grand Master of Martial Dao with strong martial will, his perception is far weaker than that of a Primordial Spirit True Person.
Moreover, the Ox Demon constantly stays ten zhang away, neither far nor near, so the Grand Master's six senses cannot detect it.
And Li Che, with the Heaven-Earth Chessboard expanding, is able to fully spy on the scene and conversation inside the carriage.
"Six pieces of Seven-Element Divine Crystal..."
"I didn't expect to be this expensive!"
Upon hearing the quote, Li Che's expression beneath the Ox Demon's mask instantly turns strange.
He can't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.
This Hunter God Pavilion still has good judgment.
The carriage remained stopped for a while; under the downpour, it filled with misty water vapor.
Li Che waits silently in the darkness.
A moment later.
Xue Dufu gets off the carriage, wearing a bamboo hat, letting the rain hit him.
The talk ended.
Xue Dufu chooses to continue the mission, accepting the price of six Seven-Element Divine Crystals!
However, he needs to return and report to the Little Prince.
Sigh~
The fine steed neighs as it pulls the carriage gradually away.
Li Che glanced; the Heaven-Earth Chessboard expanded, locking onto the carriage's qi.
While tailing Xue Dufu.
Another part of Li Che's mind, via the Heaven-Earth Chessboard, tracks the carriage's movements within Jin Guang Prefecture City.
The carriage is cautious, constantly shifting its position among the prefecture city's wide streets and interconnected alleys.
Only after confirming no one is following does it slowly enter Watch Tide Pavilion.
"Watch Tide Pavilion"
Li Che's Star-Plucking Pupil at his brow faintly emits warmth.
Using the Star-Plucking Divine Ability to deploy the Heaven-Earth Chessboard's coverage and survey yields excellent results, as if opening a heavenly eye.
As if a Big Dipper satellite hangs high in the heavens, becoming Li Che's eye.
"Is the headquarters of Hunter God Pavilion located within Watch Tide Pavilion?"
"Or rather, Hunter God Pavilion long ago began preparing to handle prefecture city affairs; Watch Tide Pavilion is the force it planted in Jin Guang Prefecture City, now stationed there and directly taking over."
Li Che seemed thoughtful.
Otherwise, as Watch Tide Pavilion is one of the Five Great Sects of Jin Guang Prefecture, how could it easily allow Hunter God Pavilion to station?
If Hunter God Pavilion were to station high-handedly, the various forces of Jin Guang Prefecture would have long noticed.
Assassin organizations have always been based on secrecy.
Once too conspicuous and showy, it could become the target of public criticism.
Strictly speaking, Hunter God Pavilion and Corpse God Sect are not much different.
In Li Che's eyes...
They are just rats in a stinking sewer.
"Watch Tide Pavilion... now that we know its location, it's easy to handle."
"This is a dead thing; it can't run away."
Li Che's eyes opening and closing, as if divine light flickers faintly beneath his pupils.
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
In an instant.
Fallen Flower Alley.
Inside the independent workshop courtyard.
He held the carving knife, perfecting the wooden figurine of the Immortal in the Painting—Li Che's clone—and his eyes narrowed.
Then he raised his hand and shook his sleeve.
A sheet of Pure Heart Painting Paper drifted out; the Immortal in the Painting Li Che pressed his finger on the scroll, and after a moment a huge Mechanic Spirit Crane unfolded its wings from the scroll.
This Mechanic Spirit Crane stands two meters tall, with an enormous airbag, containing the equivalent of one hundred fifty Divine Chess Pieces of a Great Avalanche Guanyin Lotus Bullet.
This is the maximum load the Mechanic Spirit Crane can bear.
The Immortal in the Painting Li Che's clone formed seals with his palm, instantly striking three Mechanism Seals onto the Wood Spirit Crane.
The Wood Spirit Crane's eyes suddenly lit up with light.
After carrying Li Che's will and purpose, it began to run about in the courtyard.
Then it spread its wings, with a rustling sound, it surged into the heavens above.
Carrying one hundred fifty Guanyin Lotus Bullet equivalents, it spread its wings and flew toward the Chao-tide Pavilion.
As if a vast expanse of black clouds were piling up behind the mechanical spirit crane.
As if bearing the boundless wrath of an honest father.
Brewing a crazy and furious heaven-shaking storm!
……
……
Li Che withdrew his gaze.
Wind and rain wailed, raging wildly.
His eyes opened and closed, his swollen black robe swayed slightly, tearing apart raindrops.
All of his gaze swept around, finally landing entirely on Xue Dufu, who had lost both arms, his empty sleeves fluttering in the wind and rain.
Xue Dufu wore a bamboo hat, charging into the sudden winter rain; rain struck the hat, yet it did not touch his body.
Grand Master……
In their previous clash, Li Che blasted apart one of Xue Dufu's arms.
But now……
Although only a short six days remain!
But Li Che is different now!
Who——!!!
With a flick of his finger, in his heart, the 【Chess Saint】 Dao fruit throbbed.
In the midst of the torrential downpour, the heaven-and-earth chessboard suddenly expanded, enveloping……
In an instant, the entire area was shrouded, as if severed from between heaven and earth!
Thud——!
As a Grand Master, Xue Dufu's perception is naturally extremely keen.
He stepped down heavily, the water flow on the bluestone street exploded upward, forming a ring of ripples that burst open quickly.
Heaven and earth……
Suddenly it became quiet.
"Quiet."
Xue Dufu narrowed his eyes, only able to hear the sound of rain.
This is not right!
Pedlars, merchants, servants, courtesans……
All kinds of mortal clamor, yet as if in an instant, they were severed and taken away!
Xue Dufu lifted his head, rain striking his face.
His eyes gleamed, staring straight at the firmament.
Yet he saw the rain falling from tens of thousands of feet high, as if twisted by an invisible force in midair.
On the ground, the accumulated water seemed like droplets splashed on a hot pan, each one incessantly jumping and rolling, boiling and violent!
The temperature between heaven and earth suddenly became scorching!
"Domain?"
Xue Dufu murmured.
The next moment.
As a Grand Master's intuition.
It made every hair on his body stand on end, his whole body turning cold!
"Someone wants to kill me?"
"Who dares to kill me?!!"
