Chapter 332: 334. Chapter 329 Nine-Split Human Dan Opens Pure Martial Golden Crimson Qi Sea, at Mo City's Summit sits the Yama King

334. Chapter 329 Nine-Split Human Dan Opens Pure Martial Golden Crimson Qi Sea, at Mo City's Summit sits the Yama King, who is the Ox Demon【Seeking Monthly Votes】

Dragon blood soaked the river water.

It was like a bloody flower slowly blooming on the surface of the water.

The big black dog seemed to sense something, baring its teeth and revealing a grin towards the sky.

It seemed proud, arrogant, telling the onlooker that the dog grandpa's tyranny is unmatched!

The river water exploded with roaring waves, white surges rolling; after colliding, ripples of undulating waves spread—this was the massive dragon corpse, the water ripples burst forth as the dog dragged it.

That dragon corpse was enormously large, emitting a terrifying and oppressive rank pressure, yet its head had already been twisted off, its scales completely scraped clean.

It seemed not like they were handling a true dragon, but rather a fat, plump carp.

The boss held a cigarette, his expression hardly changed; he seemed to sense Li Che's scrutiny, but it was no big deal.

With a crack, the match lit, and the burning flame curled the cigarette paper.

"Let's go, make dragon meat soup."

The boss said lightly.

Then, he raised his hand and gave a light wave.

And together with the terrifying, mountain-like ferocious black dog, they vanished between heaven and earth.

Nine-layered Yellow Dragon Mystic Wood Treasure Ship.

As the treasure ship's hull sailed, huge waves continually exploded; on the Grand Canal, it seemed a great fog rose, rolling and spreading, obscuring everyone's sight.

Li Che stood at the railing of the ninth floor of the treasure ship's pavilion, shoulder to shoulder with Lü Taibai, gazing at the torrential rain pouring over the river.

The rain was mighty, its sound roaring.

In Li Che's eyes, the interwoven lines of the chessboard light vanished.

His heart couldn't help but tremble a little.

His eyes flickered slightly; it turned out the Dragon God clan's titled Old Dragon King had not yet arrived, but had already been fed to the dog.

Thinking back to when they traveled from Jin Guang Fu to Dao Cheng, it must have been the dog and the boss secretly protecting them, suppressing all threats brought by the Dragon God clan.

By the way… the boss prepared some ingredients.

For example, that dragon blood wine which invigorates meridians and bones, comparable to Wu Dan, is basically made from the blood of a true dragon.

His heart inadvertently relaxed a bit; the titled Dragon King actually still brought some pressure to Li Che.

One titled Dragon King, plus the Corpse God Sect, and that Yue Huanglong who claims to be just watching the fun but could strike with extreme treachery at any moment.

It's actually quite dangerous; if they were to go all-out and attack this nine-layered Yellow Dragon Mystic Wood Treasure Ship, destroying it, the impact would still be significant.

Lü Taibai wore wide robes and large sleeves, his silver hair and silver eyebrows fluttering in the wind, a brutal killing intent surging.

"Sect Master… that Old Dragon King probably won't come."

Li Che exhaled, wanting to laugh but feeling a bit embarrassed to do so.

Lü Taibai looked over, puzzled.

"How so?"

"Hmm… someone from my Netherworld has made a move; that titled Old Dragon King may have been killed."

Li Che thought it over, still deciding to label the boss and the big black dog as Netherworld powerhouses.

Using Netherworld powerhouses to explain it works out fine.

Lü Taibai startled: "Died?"

"That's a… peak Old Dragon King!"

The Dragon God clan is no weakling; if compared strictly, they might even be stronger than the One Dao Divine Sect.

At its peak, the Dragon God clan had four titled Dragon Kings, each at the very least possessing top-tier supreme combat power.

There were even titled Dragon Kings rivaling peak supreme combat power.

But that was at its peak; now the Dragon God clan has declined, the four once-glorious titled Dragon Kings now only two remain, and both are extremely aged.

The two fallen titled Dragon Kings both died after failing to assault the Dragon God, their bodies and Dao erased in the divine and calamitous tribulations, reduced to ashes.

Yet the two surviving Old Dragon Kings remain formidable; although aged and their qi and blood depleted, they are no longer at their peak.

But they still possess top-tier supreme strength.

He just died like that?

"Did the Netherworld Yama King make a move?"

Lü Taibai's silver eyebrows rose as he couldn't help but ask.

Li Che smiled without speaking.

"You guess."

Lü Taibai, however, was certain it was likely the Netherworld Yama King who acted.

"Netherworld Yama King… there shouldn't be just one, right?"

Lü Taibai looked at Li Che and suddenly asked.

Li Che continued to smile silently, "Guess again."

Lü Taibai looked at Li Che's expression, feeling somewhat unsure, yet he still trusted his intuition.

Silently and without a sound, they just took down a titled Dragon King…

The Netherworld increasingly… gave him a feeling of being unfathomably deep.

Lü Taibai knew the Netherworld had such sealed-aura techniques, but… this is a titled Dragon King; even at its prime, its qi and blood belonged to the top tier of supreme beings, qualified to assault the Heavenly Gate!

It was like those grand masters such as You Liqing—easily isolated by the Netherworld's aura and silently killed!

Netherworld…

Lü Taibai gave Li Che a deep look, his heart involuntarily surging.

A-Che.

Huh? Li Che was doubtful.

You Netherworld... still recruiting?

Lü Taibai smiled.

Let's see how I do?

Lü Taibai spread his arms, and sword qi surged.

Li Che burst out laughing.

Yet seeing Lü Taibai suddenly burst into laughter, joining the Netherworld... well, Lü Taibai was actually quite moved, because Li Che was originally a Netherworld member and also an elder of the Qianyuan Divine Sect.

Basically, the Netherworld is much like the Hunter God Pavilion... perhaps we can hold a concurrent position?

There are heretics of the Corpse God Sect hiding eight hundred li away...

I'll go meet them.

The Corpse God Sect lost so many masters in Qianyuan Dao City, yet they still sent strong ones this time—truly they don't feel pain, but the Corpse God Sect are just a bunch of dead people, so not feeling pain is normal.

Ji Moli truly... is increasingly dropping the pretense.

Boom——!!!

Breath surged, Lü Taibai's white robes fluttered, and his whole body suddenly turned into a sharp sword light shooting up.

Then, like a meteor swinging its tail, a comet dragging bright light!

Straight toward the direction eight hundred li away, plummeting at high speed!

With the information Li Che provided, Lü Taibai finding those Corpse God Sect heretics is not difficult.

Moreover, Li Che seemed to sense that Lü Taibai's killing intent was unprecedentedly strong.

Compared to past killing intent, it's far richer and more brutal.

Even this time, he didn't even call Li Che, but with just himself and his sword, he eagerly rushed to kill.

Li Che was doubtful in his heart, yet he said nothing more.

Corpse God Sect... the sect leader has made a move...

If that's the case, I'll step in and settle those watching the spectacle.

Spectacle... how could it be so enjoyable to watch?

All the way from the Qiankun Great River following to the Grand Canal, are you really just watching the spectacle, or do you have ulterior motives?

Li Che watched as he turned into sword light, tearing through the torrential rain, heading eight hundred li away, fleeing far.

He slowly exhaled a breath.

Moreover...

How dare you run so far just to watch the spectacle?

……

……

When Lü Taibai turned into sword light from the pavilion of the nine-layered Yellow Dragon Mystic Wood treasure ship and charged into the firmament.

On the treasure ship, many strong individuals sensed something.

Second Elder Zhao Fangzhou's extremely robust body launched, tearing through the rain and landing on the upturned eaves of the pavilion; his elder robes fluttered in the wind, and faintly one could see layers of distinct muscles beneath his robes.

Sect Leader, your killing intent is so intense...

Zhao Fangzhou narrowed his eyes.

It seems the area around the treasure ship isn't as safe as he imagined.

Zhao Fangzhou released Heaven-Man Resonance; the intense pouring rain affected the Heaven-Man Resonance probe, making it impossible to sense any enemy's aura.

However, Zhao Fangzhou trusted Lü Taibai's judgment.

I only need... to safeguard the Yellow Dragon treasure ship.

Zhao Fangzhou clearly understood his duty.

Hum-bang——

On Zhao Fangzhou's body, qi and blood suddenly ignited; his burly body full of explosive power directly sat cross-legged atop the treasure ship.

Inside the treasure ship.

The Superintendent Hong Shifo slumped in his chair, face full of despair, though everyone is just a bunch of rotten chess pieces...

He looked at Xixi, but saw Xixi elegantly and smoothly picking up a chess piece with her index and middle fingers; that posture... was practically like a Chess Sage possessing her.

At such a young age, her demeanor is surprisingly well-mastered!

Suddenly, his heart twitched slightly, sensing Lü Taibai breaking through the void and departing; Zhao Fangzhou, already seated in command atop the treasure ship, couldn't help but flash a strange color in his eyes.

He raised his hand, pinched a seal with five fingers, and raised his eyebrows.

This time, Lü Taibai is likely to suffer a setback...

Hong Shifo's heart hesitated, unsure whether to intervene later.

I don't know... is the Netherworld secretly protecting?

Probably yes, given the Netherworld's nature, Li Nuanxi traveling to Shendu would likely be secretly protecting, perhaps able to help Lü Taibai break the situation.

Lü Taibai's disciple who defected to join the Corpse God Sect... tsk tsk, they know each other best; it seems this time... Lü Taibai might truly be angry.

Hong Shifo exhaled a breath.

Having defected and betrayed Lü Taibai, now even joining forces with the Corpse God Sect, how could Lü Taibai not be angry?

Even this defected disciple, his target might still be Lü Taibai's newly accepted disciple Li Nuanxi.

Hong Shifo shook his head...

No wonder Lü Taibai's killing intent is so intense.

If it were him, Hong Shifo also felt he could not remain calm.

But he had to say it.

With Lü Taibai holding down the situation, the Corpse God Sect actually still contemplated taking action; the Sect's target is easy to imagine—naturally, they are aiming for Li Nuanxi.

Hong Shifo pondered, then continued playing chess with Xixi.

At least, with Xixi under his watch, if she were to truly encounter any threat…

He, Hong Shifo, could still intervene to save her.

Furthermore, Hong Shifo was also angry.

He, the foremost chess sage of Qianyuan Dao City, actually couldn't defeat a six-year-old little girl—what a disgrace!

He, Hong Shifo, will wipe away this shame!

Hong Shifo's gaze blazing as he looked at Xixi, he picked up a chess piece.

"Come, let's fight again!"

……

……

Li Che naturally sensed Zhao Fangzhou, who sat cross-legged atop the top floor, using his strong qi and blood to tear through the wind and snow.

Zhao Fangzhou was stationed on the eaves, at the highest point of the treasure ship, naturally to be able to constantly protect and keep watch over the entire treasure ship.

Li Che's eyes flickered slightly, and he returned to his own room.

He sat in the chair, picked up the carving knife, but the next moment, the Li Che seated there had already transformed into the painting immortal Li Che, while Li Che's true body slowly rose.

He pressed his fingers together and tore open the air.

Then, with a grab of his five fingers, he took out a mask from the heaven-and-earth space—it was the Ox Demon mask.

He did not take out King Yama, nor did he take out the Divine Monkey……

Li Che directly took out the Ox Demon mask and put it on.

And wearing the Ox Demon mask……

It meant that……

Li Che intended to kill.

Wong—peng!!!

Terrifying qi and blood erupted in an instant, the qi and blood wandering like a flood dragon through the meridians inside the body, pure and crystalline, as if divinity and qi and blood were completely separated.

Like a blazing crimson furnace, vaguely, the furnace manifested around the burly, towering Ox Demon standing two and a half meters tall, scorching hot, twisting the air!

"Yue Huanglong……"

"Top-tier peak."

"Very strong, very strong……"

Li Che murmured.

From the heaven-and-earth great river within Qianyuan Dao City, he followed all the way to the Grand Canal.

If one were to say Yue Huanglong had no other thoughts, that would be absolutely impossible.

Yue Huanglong perhaps previously intended to join forces with the past incarnation of the Great Dharma Master Huangmei of Xiao Lingyin Temple, and an incarnation of a heavenly king of Ji Moli, to deal with Lü Taibai.

But when Yue Huanglong saw the situation was off, he abandoned and sold off the past incarnation of the Great Dharma Master Huangmei, and the heavenly king incarnation of Ji Moli……

Very steady, very cunning.

This time, he also remained in a stance of observation, not acting immediately; perhaps, when Yue Huanglong encountered what he considered an opportunity to act……

He would certainly act without hesitation, like a venomous snake in the darkness, biting down hard, injecting venom that spreads over the target's whole body.

Li Che, wearing the Ox Demon mask, slowly raised his visage.

Beneath the smiling, cute ox mask, killing intent intertwined like thunderbolts.

On the Corpse God Sect's side……

Lü Taibai personally took action.

Li Che, on the other hand, chose…… to first deal with this spectator, this ill-intentioned Yue Huanglong.

Wong——

The Sleeping Dragon-Elephant aroused, qi and blood retracted beneath every inch of skin, not a trace of qi leaked.

Then, Li Che, wearing the Ox Demon mask, his whole body shook, and like a cannonball he shot forth instantly, diving out of the Huanglong Xuanmu great ship, plunging into the heavy rain, the mist-laden river surface.

Hualahalah——

Heavy rain poured down, striking the treasure ship, constantly bouncing up, like bursts of misty gauze exploding.

Zhao Fangzhou's hair flew, his sleeves fluttered, he sat cross-legged atop the treasure ship.

Powerful heaven-man resonance, like mountains, enveloped the surroundings.

However, he sensed not the slightest trace of the Ox Demon's darting form.

Pengpengpeng——!!!

On the surface of the Grand Canal.

Wave after wave of water exploded; Li Che, wearing the cute ox mask, landed on the water surface, walking step by step, his two-and-a-half-meter-tall burly body swelling and throbbing.

Like a balloon inflated to the limit, with each step he took, as the tide rose and fell, his tendons and bones vibrated, actually growing even larger, merely because the membrane was stretched, it emitted a sound like a bow drawn to full.

However, the Sleeping Dragon-Elephant aroused, the scorching qi and blood retracted, like a furnace's martial will, all gathered within his body.

The surface of the Grand Canal, because of the heavy rain.

It rose and fell.

Li Che, wearing the cute ox mask, sizzling golden lightning, from deep within his pupils, continually intertwined.

【Dragon-Elephant Cauldron Fusion: Pure Martial Purity (87%)】

Li Che strode over the waves, arms flung wide; his already tough sinews and bones instantly twisted again into solidity.

With the aid of the Dragon-Elephant Crucible, the purity of Pure Martial increased again.

Li Che was also curious: if it were a pure martial arts clash, could it raise the purity of Pure Martial?

This time, it is an excellent opportunity for a test.

Boss and the big black dog made a move, after sending word to that Yue Huanglong, they slew the threateningly titled Dragon King who had rushed over……

Then Li Che fixed his target on Yue Huanglong.

Sending word, watching the show, threatening……

Golden lightning burst forth explosively; Li Che's killing intent toward Yue Huanglong solidified…… even more solid!

Yue Huanglong is a Martial Saint with four openings……

It is a top-tier pinnacle under Li Che's definition of absolute peak!

But Li Che felt no fear; his blood boiled incessantly, a mighty battle spirit surging in a frenzied blaze!

About to head to Shendu, where strong ones gather like clouds.

Although Lü Taibai offers protection, although Boss and the big black dog protect from the shadows.

But Li Che also knows deep down that his own strength is fundamental; only by being strong himself can he better protect his daughter.

When necessary, he can throw a punch rather than succumb to desperate, impotent rage.

Lü Taibai has entered Shendu; given his reputation and status, he will surely be noticed and suppressed by all the powerful factions.

And Boss and the big black dog……

Up to now, Li Che has not figured out the pattern of their interventions.

Because the big black dog seems to have a limit on its interventions; reckless action would draw the gaze of some terrifying existence.

So Li Che feels that mainly he must become strong enough himself. Bang—!

He stepped down heavily; the surging river beneath him instantly rolled and spun, raising a heaven‑toppling whirlpool!

Even under the suppression of the slumbering dragon‑elephant, Li Che's qi and blood swelled uncontrollably.

In his chest.

【Dragon‑Elephant Vajra】 dao‑fruit throbbed.

Li Che took out the last middle‑rank Wu Dan of the Five Elders and stuffed it into his mouth.

His steel teeth clenched; the pill shattered, with a gurgling sound, accompanied by the terrifying, surging medicinal potency, it frenziedly transformed into qi‑blood and essence, which Li Che swallowed!

Meanwhile, Li Che's aura began to climb step by step, continually rising and strengthening!

His entire stomach seemed to turn into a furnace of utmost yang and hardness, blazing fire refining the medicinal potency, sending it through his limbs and bones; carried by the blood, it surged into the cracked great elixir in his dantian!

Thud—

Thud‑thud‑thud—!!!

The river's surface rose and fell in waves.

After an unknown span of time, heaven and earth seemed to fall into an instant hush.

Li Che stood still in place, planting his feet on the river surface.

The mighty qi‑blood vanished, the rolling heat waves receded; his whole body became deathly still in an instant, like a withered corpse.

When a splash of water sound rang out.

Like a withered tree meeting spring, Li Che's body began to flash with radiant light.

Crack—

A sound of a fissure appearing and shattering exploded beside his ear.

Like a thunderclap echoing after the clouds!

Li Che flung his eyes open, his pupils gleaming dark gold.

Behind him, a great bodily elixir hovered aloft, the great bodily elixir that originally bore eight fissures……

At this moment, a ninth fissure appeared!

Boom—!!!

In a sound like mountains collapsing and earth splitting.

Within the nine fissures, essence surged out like a heavenly river bursting its banks, colliding and merging with qi‑blood; in the rising golden mist, it slowly…… condensed into drop after drop of liquid formed from condensed qi‑blood, essence, and gang‑qi.

Li Che's aura instantly rose, becoming vast and mighty!

The golden mist swirled; the spirit‑fluid condensed from qi‑blood, essence, and gang‑qi gathered ever more, slowly forming a pool about ten zhang in diameter.

Second Opening of the Martial Saint.

Opening the Sea of Qi!

Starting at ten zhang!

Pure Martial Golden Pool!

Li Che wore the Ox‑Demon mask, standing on the rolling waves of the Grand Canal; countless water vapors rose hazily, and the torrential rain fell, further obscuring sight and heavenly perception.

But at this moment, every inch of Li Che's skin burst forth with golden light.

Too splendid!

Like a bulb of billions of watts, it blazed with radiance.

Not even the slumbering dragon‑elephant could suppress this radiance!

On the nine‑layered Yellow Dragon Mystic Wood treasure ship.

Zhao Fangzhou, seated cross‑legged on the roof, suddenly opened his eyes, his face grim to the extreme; faintly, he seemed to see a mouth of splashing flowing yuan‑gang spirit liquid, a sea of qi……

The splendid gold nearly drowned Zhao Fangzhou's eyes completely!

He clenched his fist, and a dragon‑head treasure sword fell into his hand.

His eyes were filled with extreme shock and horror.

"The Human Elixir opens up, the Qi Sea condenses into a pool!"

"This is... the Qi Sea?"

"Damn it, how could there be a golden Qi Sea?!"

……

……

Boom—!

The Grand Canal's waters rose and fell, the surface surprisingly calm, but beneath it, dark currents seemed to constantly surge.

About eight hundred li from the Yellow Dragon Profound Wood Treasure Ship.

A sword flash arrived in an instant.

Silver hair flew, silver brows fluttered.

Lü Taibai's wide sleeves fluttered, within them a brilliant sword chant.

He stepped through the void, hovering high above, his two wide sleeves drifting like clouds without cease.

He stepped upon silver sword light, like a peerless sword immortal riding the sword across the heavens.

His eyelids drooped slightly.

He gazed upon the surface of the Grand Canal.

The water surface was undisturbed, only raindrops falling upon it, creating scattered ripples that collided and trembled.

Lü Taibai's silver brows twitched slightly.

"Indeed, it's the Corpse God Sect... they conceal their aura remarkably well."

"Not a hint of leakage."

Lü Taibai sighed deeply.

Even though he is such a powerful expert, after all he is not a true deity; though the Heaven-Man Sensation is powerful, the Corpse God Sect's disguise and aura concealment are notorious.

A single Corpse God Pearl can completely hide deathly and corpse qi.

After disguising as an ordinary person, even the Heaven-Man Sensation cannot detect it.

But……

These disguises, this aura concealment, are utterly useless before the Netherworld.

The Netherworld, as if specifically designed to counter the Corpse God Sect.

Able to pierce through the Corpse God Sect's concealment.

According to the specific location described by Li Che, Lü Taibai crossed eight hundred li to arrive; the river surface was windless and waveless, only rain ripples.

But Li Che also told him where these Corpse God Sect evildoers were disguised.

Lü Taibai opened his mouth and slowly exhaled a sword qi.

Within his fluttering sleeves, a silver Taibai sword slid down slowly.

He flicked his finger.

He struck it hard against the silver three-foot, entirely glazed Taibai sword.

Suddenly……

The Taibai sword split into two, two became three, three became nine!

Nine sword lights, as if unfurling, with tips drooping and swinging down, hovered around Lü Taibai.

Lü Taibai raised his five fingers.

He slammed them downward!

The nine sword lights instantly turned into nine silver flood dragons, baring fangs and claws, cloud queens probing their heads, roaring as they plunged into the great river.

"Wicked disciple."

"Still not getting out."

Bang bang bang——!!!

Nine explosive water columns, like fountains, shot up into the sky.

Blackish, foul-smelling blood slowly spread from beneath the exploded water surface……

One by one, Corpse God Sect emissaries wearing pure white masks bearing the number 'five' floated up from the dark currents of the great river.

They were pierced through the chest by silver sword qi, their heart vessels shattered; the sword qi ravaged every inch of their skin, shattering their vitality……

The thick deathly and corpse qi could no longer be suppressed or hidden, erupting fully.

Upon the river surface, it surged tumultuously, like black beacon smoke!

Lü Taibai's silver hair flew, his wide sleeves fluttered, and the pouring bean‑sized rain twisting around him.

The top‑peak Heaven‑Man Sensation, and the divine souls of mighty gods, burst forth and spread.

Instantly……

Within a radius of a hundred zhang.

The rain ceased, the black clouds tore apart, and bright sunlight shone down lightly.

Like a banished immortal descending to the mortal realm.

On the now‑calm river surface, one after another Corpse God Sect emissaries' corpses slowly floated up, their fleshly bodies gradually collapsing under the ravaging sword qi.

But Lü Taibai paid no heed to those emissaries he had slain.

His eyes, flowing with brilliant silver light, were fixed on the calm river surface.

Suddenly.

The river surface bubbled with gurgling bubbles.

The water flow split apart.

A vermilion-red coffin, surprisingly, stood upright and slowly rose from the river water.

Lü Taibai stared at that vermilion-red coffin.

In his eyes, a growing cold severity.

And inside that vermilion-red coffin……

came a faint, lingering sigh.

"Teacher… you actually managed to find me."

"I was planning to give my junior sister a little surprise."

Boom——

The vermilion-red coffin lid slammed down onto the river surface.

Revealed was a slender, jade-like figure standing upright in the coffin, hands folded over the chest, a smile playing on the face.

Accompanying that lingering sigh.

That figure slowly opened its eyes.

Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting……

Four kinds of divine lust surged forth simultaneously from within the coffin.

Lü Taibai clenched his five fingers, and the pure-bodied, glass-like Taibai Sword gleamed in his hand.

The silver-glass Taibai Sword trembled, its sword chant shaking the nine heavens!

Countless sword qi surged magnificently from his back, rending air, sunlight, vapor, and anything that dared block his sword qi!

He stared at the 'corpse' slowly opening its eyes inside the vermilion-red coffin.

That familiar figure had once borne many of Lü Taibai's hopes and longings.

He had even once wanted to appoint him as sect heir, treating him as a true lineage successor.

But in the end, that person utterly broke his heart.

It was precisely his betrayal of Lü Taibai.

His third disciple who defected to the Corpse God Sect.

He opened his mouth and slowly exhaled, sword qi like thunder.

"Wicked disciple!"

"Wei Yuan."

……

……

Rumble——

Heavy rain kept falling, striking the river surface and kicking up turbulent waves.

Whoosh!

Two figures, one after another, tore through the air, stepping upon the undulating water.

Yue Huanglong donned a star-lodged mask, its stars glittering, and beside him Yan Jing likewise wore a star-lodged mask.

Naturally, the two needed to disguise their identities before leaving Qianyuan Dao City, for if they wanted to watch the spectacle, they certainly couldn't use their true selves.

In fact, besides watching the fun, wearing the God-Hunter Pavilion assassin's mask allowed them to act more freely, almost seamlessly shifting from onlookers to opportunists.

The two stood upon the rolling waves, their expressions composed beneath the masks.

Yan Jing bore his long spear, his eyes narrowed beneath the mask, the heavy fog on the Grand Canal's surface overly thick.

"Sect Master, that old dragon with a title… hasn't appeared yet; should we… keep pursuing?"

"We've already crossed the border for a long time."

Yan Jing asked.

He could sense Yue Huanglong's mood—said to be watching the fun, yet seeing none, he naturally felt a bit unwilling.

The Corpse God Sect's Lü Taibai's defected disciple, together with the titled Dragon King……

Perhaps could truly restrain Lü Taibai.

And once Lü Taibai is restrained, that Yellow Dragon treasure ship might suffer attack and impact……

Yue Huanglong's target is not Lü Taibai.

He never even thought of killing Lü Taibai……

His target is Li Nuanxi.

This little girl, the junior sect master of the Qianyuan Divine Sect, possesses talent surpassing even Wei Yuan, the third disciple whom Lü Taibai once prided himself on.

This little girl might become an unstoppable threat to the future rise of the Qianyuan Divine Sect.

In Yue Huanglong's view, the threat posed by this little girl exceeds even that of her father Li Che, a Half-Saint Godcondor.

Although a Half-Saint Godcondor could revive the Qianyuan Divine Sect's deceased Godcondor business, restoring it to vigor.

However, this impact is minor; in the future, one could still invite the Little Spirit Sound Temple's Godcondor business to suppress it.

But if Li Nuanxi, as junior sect master of the Qianyuan Divine Sect, were to astonish at the Peach Blossom Victory Assembly, it could make the sect's fortune even more magnificent, and in the future she would become another figure like Lü Taibai.

Yue Huanglong clearly knows that six-year-old Li Nuanxi has already stepped into the Divine Aspect, and moreover condensed the Three Purities Divine Aspect via the Three Purities Method.

In a few more years, she could likely step into the Divine Origin, already counting as a formidable force.

To kill her would become increasingly difficult.

Only by eliminating her now, while she is still young, can we achieve the best outcome.

While this girl has not yet matured, we must swiftly slay her!

Boom——!!!

Suddenly.

Eight hundred li away, it seemed there was an extremely gorgeous silver sword light, bursting forth, even at such a distant distance.

One could also feel the magnificent, blazing terrifying sword aura!

"Lü Taibai has made a move!"

"How strong, how terrifying the sword aura!"

"This is a full-force strike, with no reservation whatsoever!"

Yue Huanglong's obese body stood on the river surface, lightly laughing.

"That Wei Yuan seems to have fused the Four Desires divinity into the Corpse God Seal; now he is a being of the Four Desires Corpse God level... rivaling the supreme peak!"

"Master and disciple killing each other..."

"Really a battle of immortals that one would want to watch carefully."

Yue Huanglong flicked off the water droplets on his body, narrowed his eyes: "Wei Yuan's strength is stronger than imagined; Lü Taibai is actually being restrained by him alone; let's go check the treasure ship, that ennobled old dragon king should also be preparing to act..."

Yan Jing lifted his long spear.

He narrowed his eyes.

However.

Just took a step.

Yue Huanglong then stopped his steps.

Yan Jing only felt Yue Huanglong's obese, fatty body tremble slightly.

Yan Jing's heart felt a hint of doubt.

What's wrong?

Yue Huanglong's face, wearing the Star Assassin mask, slowly rose, his eyes narrowed, gazing upward.

Yan Jing was stunned.

He also followed by raising his head, looking at the sky.

But saw.

A black city tore open amidst the great river's mist, hovering above their heads.

Silently it came crashing down upon them!

Upon the battlements of that black city.

A burly figure like a mountain, arms crossed.

"This city..."

"Underworld Yama King!!!"

Yan Jing's hairs stood on end.

"No..."

"Not the Yama King!"

However.

Beside, Yue Huanglong spoke, doubtful.

"It's the Ox Demon!"
