Chapter 354: 356. Chapter 350: Netherworld Fengdu's Gate Closes, Slaying Buddha, Not a Single One Left [Seek Monthly Ticket]

356. Chapter 350: Netherworld Fengdu's Gate Closes, Slaying Buddha, Not a Single One Left 【Seek Monthly Ticket】

Small snow fluttered, drifting down from within the heavy leaden cloud dome, swaying as it fell.

The air was suffused with a lingering chill.

Inside the Primordial Origin Academy.

A hush fell; after the children initially let loose, they all settled their minds to cultivate.

Because of Lu Taibai's intimidation, plus Elder Li and Xixi's overwhelming, invincible bearing, the Six Great Divine Sects' heroes and junior dragons were crushed.

Thus, the Six Great Divine Sects' idea of continuing to block the Primordial Origin Divine Sect and Dao City's children naturally fell through.

After the grand wager ended, many of the Primordial Origin Divine Sect's children attempted to match opponents, attending the pre-banquet to enter the Hall of the Queen Mother of the West, clashing with rivals to win the right to dine.

As expected, with the Six Great Divine Sects' obstruction gone, the matched opponents were no longer the top prodigies from the Six Great Divine Sects' junior dragon rankings.

The children of the Primordial Origin Divine Sect all won, tasting the Peaches of Immortality.

On the children's faces, smiles inevitably blossomed, growing ever more eager and anticipant.

Although most children knew they could not be first, they understood that there existed prodigies more talented, more diligent, and stronger than them.

Although they had a strong competitive spirit, as long as they gave their all in effort and battle, they did not care about the final outcome.

But if, due to an external ploy, they were ganged up on and deprived of opportunity, the children would naturally feel disheartened, sensing their mindset unbalanced.

Lu Taibai flipped the table in anger, going alone with a sword to directly slaughter the Temple of the Subtle Sound, in order to give the children back their standing and seek a just, fair chance.

As the sect master of the Primordial Origin Divine Sect, Lu Taibai was the children's final guarantee and pillar of belief; if even the most basic fairness could not be won for them……

What meaning would his role as sect master still have?

Inside the room.

Li Che, wearing the divine monkey mask, left.

Lu Taibai sat in the chair; the faintly flickering candlelight cast shifting shadows throughout the room.

His silvery hair lay smooth upon his shoulders, yet his eyes gleamed with radiance.

"Huang Mei…"

Lu Taibai's brows knit tightly.

It must be said……

Indeed, this is now the best opportunity to deal with Huang Mei!

But Lu Taibai still felt that the Netherworld was somewhat mad.

Huang Mei is no ordinary first- or second-stage Martial Saint; he is the master of a great divine sect!

His cultivation is immensely strong; he ascended the peak of Martial Dao Mountain, beheld Heaven's Gate, and even personally pushed it open, attaining a great breakthrough in Martial Dao!

Stationed at Heaven's Gate Pass, he ranked fifth, signifying that the Grand Master Huang Mei on the Martial Dao path is the fifth among the ten who stand at the pinnacle of Martial Dao in the Dàjǐng dynasty.

Moreover, on the Divine Ranking, Huang Mei stands above Lu Taibai.

Lu Taibai ranks fifth on the Divine Ranking, while Huang Mei ranks fourth!

Although it's only a one-place difference, that is the gap!

Those listed on both rankings are the peak apex and great gods!

He is absolutely not an easy foe to deal with; a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Wanting to kill Huang Mei while he's injured is not something you can accomplish just by flapping your lips.

"Truly mad… truly wanton…"

Lu Taibai leaned back in the chair, shook his head, lifted his head; his silver hair fell backward like strands, each resembling a finely honed sword blade.

"Killing a top apex of the double rankings…… only the Netherworld could conceive such madness."

Lu Taibai closed his eyes, slightly shaking his head.

Even he himself truly felt this idea was too mad.

He simply could not imagine how to kill Huang Mei.

But one thing Lu Taibai cannot deny is that this…… is indeed a unique opportunity to kill Huang Mei.

Huang Mei's three incarnations have lost two, leaving only his present form, whose state and breath have weakened to the extreme.

Even now, if the strong ones of Heaven's Gate Pass and the Divine Ranking were reselected, Huang Mei would surely fall.

But that doesn't matter……

What matters is that the three incarnations have been cut down to two, leaving one, and Huang Mei also seems to have suffered the erosion of the Hell Lotus Fire.

This point, not only noticed by Li Che, Lu Taibai naturally noticed as well.

However, Lu Taibai cannot ascertain whether the Hell Lotus Fire's erosion truly has such a great effect on Huang Mei.

Closing his eyes, the strands of Lu Taibai's silver hair hanging down like sword points to the ground, resembling blades, all rang out with a clear tinkling sound.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall Li Che's final words……

"Perhaps we should think……"

"Is this not the unique opportunity to kill Huang Mei!"

Lu Taibai suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant……

The entire room filled with sword qi; silvery sword qi surged clangorously, like a river pouring in.

"Right……"

"A unique opportunity!"

"Huang Mei has already threatened my disciples…… why am I still hesitating? Why am I still doubting?"

"Who am I?"

"I am…… Lu Taibai!"

"To kill a person, do I still need to heed my mother-in-law?!"

"I am…"

"Taibai Killing Star!"

Lu Taibai's mouth corner instantly wore a brilliant smile, as carefree as the smile on the Divine Monkey mask.

Suddenly.

The murderous sword Qi filling the house vanished without a trace.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

He had just used sword Qi to stitch and seal the Dao Yun Disaster Sword at his brow…

It seemed about to split open again.

"This kid… didn't come earlier; I had already stitched it, and now I have to open it again."

Lu Taibai muttered.

Then it turned into laughter that lingered endlessly.

…

…

Second City, Ji Family Mansion.

An extremely splendid mansion, in the land‑price‑high Second City, occupies all the land and area, towering over many high officials and nobles, like a giant beast coiled at the heart of Shendu, the capital of Dàjǐng.

A faint eastern glow emerged, a fish‑belly white, as if a thin light pierced the heavy clouds, slowly casting onto the world.

Ji Mo Li spread his long, ape‑like arms, letting the woman thoughtfully cover his armor.

Each piece of black armor was extremely heavy, but Ji Guifei was not without strength; as a woman of the ancient Ji lineage, she possessed the Ji blood and had a remarkable divine talent.

Even though she suffered hardships in childhood that delayed her cultivation, her divine cultivation had already reached the stage of Divine Primordial Great Immortal, attaining the fetal breathing realm.

Lifting the armor was nothing.

The black cloak flared suddenly, with a whoosh, like a black lightning tearing the air and stirring turbulence.

"Remember what I tell you… If you can obtain an imperial edict from His Majesty granting the Qianyuan Divine Sect junior sect leader Li Nuanxi to be betrothed to the Third Prince, then I will certainly fulfill my promise to you."

"Having me support the Third Prince's bid for the Crown Prince's position is not a difficult matter at all."

Ji Mo Li's armor clanged, and the explosive flesh within his body brimmed with terrifying power.

He finished covering himself with armor, walked a few steps, turned back to look at the thinly standing woman in the courtyard, and said in a deep voice.

The woman slowly lifted her head, brushed the slightly disheveled black hair on her forehead, and the light in her eyes seemed to gradually solidify.

"You… are you truly willing to support the Third Prince?"

"Why wouldn't you?" Ji Mo Li smiled faintly.

Ji Guifei at this moment no longer had the overbearing demeanor she showed before Lu Chi and the members of the Qianyuan Divine Sect; she seemed pitiable, like a wilted yellow flower.

Her eyes began to ripple, as if sparkling with crystal light.

"If you are willing to support the Third Prince…"

"I… I will definitely try to persuade His Majesty!"

Ji Mo Li halted, turned his back to Ji Guifei, glanced back slightly, his eyes bearing a hint of indifference.

"It's not a trial… I demand certainty; no matter what method you use, you must make His Majesty issue an edict to betroth Li Nuanxi to the Third Prince!"

"Even… by any means!"

Ji Guifei's body trembled slightly, her pearl teeth biting her plump red lips, even tearing them, revealing a bloody taste.

"Good!"

As the word fell.

Ji Mo Li left the Ji Family Mansion without looking back.

Ji Guifei watched Ji Mo Li's figure vanish before the dawn light, and her whole body seemed drained of strength.

She collapsed completely on the ground, gasping heavily.

Her graceful back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Even though she now holds a high position, even though she has regained her freedom…

But the old nightmare still struck, like an extremely sharp dagger that could easily pierce her heart and stir wildly!

"Li Nuanxi…"

"Why?"

Ji Guifei was stunned.

The woman she believed even Lu Chi might not be able to match, Ji Mo Li actually opened his mouth, saying the Third Prince should take her as wife, even if it meant granting her the future Crown Princess position without hesitation.

She didn't understand…

But.

It does not hinder her compliance.

…

…

Li Che, wearing the Divine Monkey mask, left Lu Taibai's room.

He knew that Lu Taibai had already been moved.

The sect leader appeared to be calming his heart and sword, yet in reality his murderous intent remained, retaining the pure innocence unique to a hunting king assassin.

Li Che invited Lu Taibai to act, actually as an extra safeguard, also to be able to completely kill Huangmei.

Although the current Li Che has fully triggered the Qimen Divine Seed, indeed gaining a massive power surge, Huangmei is still a top‑level pinnacle, not a temporary breakthrough like Yue Huanglong's top‑level pinnacle…

But truly powerful, a peer among the double‑ranking elite.

Aside from the martial gods and divine tribulations—those already existing as legendary patriarchs in the void…

He is one of the top ten martial artists of Dàjǐng!

Facing such a strong opponent, Li Che is steady, with no flaw.

Relying on himself alone, he may not be able to kill Huang Mei.

His toe tips touch the ground, shattering the thin wind and snow.

His whole body, like a black shadow, rushes onto the streets of Shendu's Fourth City, where the accumulated snow on the ground has melted at an unknown time, making the ground very wet.

Li Che presses his hat down, his Sleeping Dragon Elephant technique reaches its limit, making him seem to vanish from heaven and earth.

Even the patrols of the Shendu Xuan Guard on the immensely wide streets of the Fourth City, which are broader than those of Qian Yuan Dao City, cannot detect his whereabouts.

Shendu's Nine Cities each host large garrisons of soldiers.

The lower three and middle three cities are patrolled by the Shendu Xuan Guard, divided into the Four Great Xuan Guards: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird.

The commanders of the Four Great Xuan Guards are selected by Emperor Dàjǐng and obey only his orders.

The guard force of the upper three cities is the Golden Scale Imperial Guard, also personally commanded by Emperor Dàjǐng; each Golden Scale guard is a top‑tier warrior, a particularly powerful force within Shendu.

However, Li Che's cultivation now is far beyond the timid, cautious wood‑carver laborer he once was in Fēiléichéng.

He strolls through the wind and snow, as if isolated from heaven and earth.

Unless a divine fetus from the Great Divine Manual forcibly radiates Heaven and Earth Soul to sense and probe, Li Che's trail is hard to detect or expose.

Li Che walks leisurely, yet his actual speed is extremely fast.

He traverses the entire long street, releasing a Heaven and Earth Chessboard, as if searching for something.

The sky dome becomes completely bright.

Li Che halts his steps, returns to before the Qian Yuan Courtyard, and lets out a faint sigh.

"Didn't find it…"

Li Che murmurs.

He is looking for a restaurant, its owner, and the big black dog.

The owner and the big black dog escorted Xixi all the way from Qian Yuan Dao City to Shendu, and midway they also slaughtered an aged, titled Dragon King from the Dragon God clan!

However, after arriving in Shendu, Li Che never again received any news of the restaurant owner or the big black dog.

One person, one dog, one restaurant, as if they evaporated into the void between heaven and earth.

Where did they go?

And where are they now?

Li Che does not know; today's search is undertaken with hope, and of course, Li Che does not intend to find a helper.

Although the big black dog's combat power is great, extremely strong, and the restaurant owner's strength is unfathomable, …

Li Che also knows that the big black dog seems unable to keep unleashing full force; each strike by the dog draws the attention of terrifying beings, so it must hold back.

However, if he can find the restaurant, eat a dish cooked by the owner, and pat the dog's head, Li Che would feel extremely secure.

"Must rely on oneself…"

Li Che exhales, and his breath rolls in the brisk spring chill.

Suddenly.

Li Che's eyes harden.

The Flying Thunder Chess Piece vibrates incessantly.

Li Che's spirit stirs, sinking into the Heaven and Earth Chessboard…

Heaven and Earth Soul intertwines, forming a figure that hovers above the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Pure Heart Chess Pieces rise one by one, instantly weaving a picture across the sky of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.

Li Che's eyebrows lift slightly.

Because the displayed scene is the feedback from the Flying Thunder Chess Piece he silently left with Consort Ji.

Li Che watches, looking slightly odd, his eyebrows lifting slightly.

Consort Ji and Ji Mo Li…

That is unimportant.

What Li Che cares about is…

The deeds Ji Mo Li ordered Consort Ji to do!

"Have Emperor Dàjǐng issue a holy decree? Personally grant a marriage alliance…"

Li Che's eyes suddenly harden!

Ji Mo Li… what does he actually intend to do?!

The Third Prince… Li Che knows little, only that the current Third Prince, compared to Lü Chi, is far superior; now twenty years old, with extraordinary talent and remarkable cultivation.

He has taken many princesses, contending with the Grand Prince and Second Prince for the Crown Prince position.

Once appointed heir, his status will soar dramatically!

Emperor Dàjǐng has many offspring, with as many as nine princes, but only four are royal princes.

Among them, the Grand Prince is already past two Jiazi cycles in age.

Fortunately, the Grand Prince possesses royal blood, with excellent cultivation talent, and can endure two Jiazi cycles.

The Second and Third Princes are much younger; compared to Lü Chi, they are even smaller.

Li Che's eyes are cold and murderous, flickering like incense.

Although, for the royal family, age is hardly an issue.

For example, the age gap between Emperor Dàjǐng and Consort Ji exceeds several hundred years.

"If it truly is Emperor Dàjǐng's personal decree… the impact will be significant!"

"Although today Dàjǐng, due to the strange breach, has reduced the Temple Suppression Office's oppression of the various Dao, handing the main task of suppressing the strange breach of each Dao to the Divine Sect… in reality, Dàjǐng can still be said to be in its heyday!"

"If Emperor Dàjǐng issues an edict, even a great sect would not dare to ignore or despise it."

Li Che stood still, letting the thin snowflakes from the sky fall onto his body, melt into cold droplets that soaked his frame.

"What a Ji Mo Li…"

Li Che exhaled slowly.

Opening his eyes again, he had already broken through the wind and snow and returned to his own room.

His qi and blood stirred, evaporating all the snow and water stains from his body.

He removed the Divine Monkey mask from his face.

Then he took out a newly carved, exceedingly cute Niu Mo mask and placed it over his face.

His five fingers brushed his eyes, and the instant he opened them, a ferocious murderous intent erupted!

"Resorting to any means to ask the emperor for an edict?"

"That one wants you to be unable to petition the emperor…"

"Then you just can't get the edict, right?!"

No matter what means Ji Guifei uses to petition the emperor, to sway him, to persuade him…

But as long as his Niu Mo moves a step ahead, preventing Ji Guifei from even seeing the emperor's face…

That edict… would be a baseless talk!

You can't have Ji Mo Li go and persuade the emperor personally, can you?

Moreover…

From the subtle dealings between Ji Mo Li and Ji Guifei, whether the Third Prince is of pure imperial blood remains uncertain.

Ji Mo Li is so ambitious… Could he be planning a plot like swapping the crown prince with a raccoon cat?

However, the chance that the Third Prince is not of imperial blood should be low.

After all, Emperor Dàjǐng also cultivates; his martial path and divinity are far from weak, and he has been bestowed massive resources.

Even if his talent is slightly lacking, time and stacked resources should have already elevated him to a very high realm.

Upon reaching the War Saint Realm, one can sense whether one's descendants' bodies carry one's bloodline, so…

The Third Prince remains the Third Prince, indicating that no such nonsense has occurred.

"Kill you, and the emperor won't have a pillow breeze to brush his issuing of the edict."

A faint blood‑red smoke drifted out from his pupils.

A flick of his finger.

The Immortal Painting scroll materialized; as it unfurled slowly, the painted immortal clone of Li Che stepped out of the scroll.

Originally Li Che intended to use his Dominant clone, but the Dominant clone's power is immense; in Ink City it greatly aids Li Che, and will be useful when jointly slaying Huang Mei later.

Thus, Li Che ultimately chose the Immortal Painting Li Che.

Creak—

The Immortal Painting Li Che pushed open the portal.

The sky was already bright, and the thin drifting snow stubbornly continued, leaving the last trace of winter on the world.

Outside Qian Yuan Courtyard.

A plain yet status‑showing carriage slowly arrived and halted at the courtyard entrance.

A huge "Qin" character was emblazoned on the carriage, indicating that this low‑key vehicle belonged to the Qin Tian Bureau.

In Shendu, there are three towers that even high officials and nobles dare not overlook.

All are situated in Shendu's Second City, namely the Qin Tian Treasure Tower, the Zhen Temple Guard Divine Tower, and the National Master Lotus Pavilion Tower.

Any faction linked to these three towers draws the attention of everyone in Shendu.

When the Qin Tian Bureau's carriage parked before Qian Yuan Courtyard, many began to speculate and understand something.

The Divine Eagle Half Saint Li Che, who just shone at the heroes' pre‑banquet, is heading to the Qin Tian Bureau, presumably for the Special Guest Minister assessment!

Sure enough.

The gates of Qian Yuan Courtyard opened.

Li Che, dressed in a black shirt, strode out briskly.

Qin Tian Bureau's Qian Yuan City Overseer, Hong Shi Fo of the Hong Family, stepped out of the carriage to greet Li Che.

The Hong Family, once a thriving ancient lineage, however, legend says that the Hong ancestor who had reached the Divine Calamity realm perished when the God‑Destroying Wind, one of the three calamities, extinguished his divine soul…

The ancient Hong lineage then declined, eventually leaving Shendu for the Tongyou Path, thereby preserving the ancient family's name…

Yet this retreat from Shendu, though it severely drained the Hong family's vitality, stabilized their inheritance.

"Li Ban Sheng, please."

Hong Shi Fo, carrying a chessboard, said with a smile.

"The Qin Tian Bureau headquarters Treasure Tower, deep within Shendu's Second City, is strictly guarded; without documents or status, one can hardly set foot there."

"Therefore, I, the old man, have come specifically to escort Li Ban Sheng there."

Hong Shi Fo said with a smile.

He was also somewhat astonished; he had thought that the century‑long high‑stakes gamble would take time to conclude, but he never expected Li Che to, within a single day, consecutively defeat the top champions of six great sects, plus Ji Mo Li's direct disciple, achieving a seven‑win streak…

Thus, the century‑long gamble ended prematurely.

This caught Hong Shi Fo off guard; he returned to the Qin Tian Bureau to adjust the arrangements, and today he came to bring Li Che into Shendu's Qin Tian Bureau.

The Special Guest Minister assessment also had to be prepared ahead of schedule due to Li Che's overwhelming victory.

Under the watchful perception of many strong figures in the Fourth City, Li Che boarded the carriage; its wheels turned, crushing the puddles on the ground as it headed toward the Second City.

And while everyone thought Li Che and Hong Shi Fo were heading to the Second City.

Qian Yuan Courtyard.

Inside the room.

Li Che's jet-black, vigorous hair lashed like black lightning, continuously striking the air to burst with explosive sounds!

"Consort Ji......"

A white chess piece instantly appeared slowly in the palm of the Ox Demon, which was like a cattail fan, revealing its trace.

Finally......

It was fiercely clenched by five fingers and lifted up.

Shendu, the second city.

Ji family residence.

The vast Ji family residence, covering an enormous area, could be called a small city, with the Ji family's huge population living inside.

Deeply rooted, the roots intertwined like a great net, extending throughout Shendu.

Inside the small courtyard.

On the black eaves, the icicles had already completely melted.

The drifting thin snow, almost appearing transparent, piled up on the tiles, as if covered with a layer of ice sand.

The carved wooden window opened, and the chilly, biting spring cold poured in, blowing the silk covering the bed to flutter continuously.

The maid took out a piece of red-hot charcoal, added a few new coals, and the boiling hot water immediately sent up steam, adding a bit of moisture to the room.

Before the dressing mirror.

Consort Ji did not let her personal maid do her makeup; she did it herself, personally dressing and adorning herself to make herself as beautiful as possible.

Then, she returned to the First City to flatter the Emperor, who is over three hundred years older than her, and to arrange a marriage for the Third Prince.

This is Ji Moye's command; she... just needs to follow it.

If she does not carry it out......

Her grooming motion trembled slightly.

As if a strand of hair were caught on the jade comb.

"I don't dare......"

Consort Ji's long eyelashes lightly trembled, and she involuntarily closed her eyes.

Then, she opened her eyes.

In her eyes surged a determined color: "As long as the Emperor issues an edict letting Li Nuanxi and Tong'er become engaged... the Prince will support Tong'er's bid for the crown prince position!"

Consort Ji knew very well how powerful an ally Ji Moye was.

Of course......

The premise is that Ji Moye doesn't cause trouble in Ji Province.

Third Prince, Lü Lítong, gains Ji Moye's assistance......

Even though he is young, he now has a greater chance!

Consort Ji's breathing grew rapid; if the Third Prince became crown prince, he would inherit Emperor Jing's position in the future.

Then she... would be the Empress Dowager!

Perhaps, the shadows Ji Moye brought her could all be dispelled!

"Therefore, for Tong'er's crown prince position... what's there to worry about regarding that little girl's sacrifice?"

"Even, becoming engaged to Tong'er is her greatest honor!"

"A lowly maid of humble origin, having the chance to become mother of the world—what an opportunity!"

Consort Ji slightly lifted her red lips and spoke softly.

Although she didn't understand why Ji Moye would make this request.

But in Consort Ji's view, the Third Prince marrying Li Nuanxi, even if she is the junior sect master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, is still marrying down!

Otherwise, the Third Prince's future empress should be from the Gongshu clan, the Yue clan, or... the Ji family's most talented cultivator, the most gorgeous woman!

"A wild girl......"

Consort Ji slightly wrinkled her delicate nose, letting out a snort of dissatisfaction.

With her supple hand holding the jade comb, she gently combed, combed again, making her black, waterfall-like black hair strands distinct.

Upon the silver mirror polished from silver gemstone.

Her beautiful visage reflected upon it; she carefully took up the rouge, dabbed two touches, lightly applied powder, and thus had an exquisite appearance.

She lightly pinched the red paper, her little finger lightly rising.

She brought it to her lips and gave a light sip.

Instantly, like a crimson blossom blooming, a fervent red fire color lingered on her lips.

"Your Ladyship, truly beautiful."

The personal maid stood not far away and spoke in praise.

Because they all know Consort Ji likes to be praised at this moment.

In fact, Consort Ji is indeed beautiful, possessing a beauty like a flower after being ravaged—bullied beauty; after bearing two children, it adds a mature charm, yet that bullied beauty becomes even more alluring.

Her ability to enter Emperor Jing's harem is also due to this appearance.

Now, although Emperor Jing has a new favorite, she still has a place in the harem.

"Yes, truly beautiful."

"Thinking about it is quite beautiful."

A low, hoarse voice sounded after the maid finished praising.

Suddenly, like a thunderclap on flat ground, it rang out.

The smile curling Noble Consort Ji's red lips almost froze in an instant.

The maids inside the room also stared blankly.

It seemed they didn't know where that vulgar man's voice came from.

Could it be that the prince hasn't left yet?!

Still wanting…

Huh?!

Noble Consort Ji's pupils suddenly contracted, her long lashes trembling violently.

Because, through the silver mirror polished from that silver gemstone, she clearly saw behind her, abruptly appearing, a smiling cute ox mask!

The cute ox mask wore a smile.

But that smile made Noble Consort Ji feel a chill all over, a sense of terror.

"Who?!"

"Who are you?!"

Noble Consort Ji felt as if her heart were being gripped by a terrifying huge hand.

She jerked her head around.

She saw before her a mass of flesh twisting and swelling, the black clothing instantly bulging out, like a horrifying towering mountain, bringing her an almost suffocating, almost nightmare-like fear!

This instant…

She felt as if she had recalled the nightmare she faced as a child!

That man…

Back then, it was also like this, a burly figure like a mountain filling her vision.

But she quickly realized, this figure before her…

It wasn't that man, it wasn't Ji Mo Li!

Thud thud thud—

She wanted to activate the divinity in her upper dantian.

But she simply couldn't activate it!

Divine Fetus!

Martial Saint!

Whether qi and blood or divinity, they were firmly suppressed!

"Assassin——!!!"

Noble Consort Ji instantly let out an extremely shrill, terrified scream!

Wanting to use the most primitive method to send the message out, so that the Ji Clan Martial Saint and Divine Fetus powerhouse could sense it……

But——

The scream simply couldn't be transmitted.

It seemed as if the entire room had been sealed off and isolated into another spacetime.

Noble Consort Ji's eyes widened in fear as she saw, above the ceiling, a chessboard of intertwining lines slowly rotating.

These two personal maids were actually quite formidable in cultivation; upon seeing the Ox Demon appear, they immediately activated their qi and blood to attack, trying to save Noble Consort Ji.

These two maids were actually two Grand Masters of the Peak Three Flowers Realm……

Obviously produced by some unique secret method, they had a will akin to that of a death-sworn warrior!

However——

That burly figure wearing the cute ox mask.

Just raised a hand.

Five fingers suddenly spread open.

The two maids' qi and blood within their bodies exploded like countless arrows shooting out, the two directly blown into minced flesh, a thick bloody mist drifting in the room.

Before Li Che, whose body was nearly condensed pure martial form, the two Three Flowers Grand Masters who could barely control their own qi and blood……

They were truly too weak.

Noble Consort Ji raised her hand, touching her exquisitely made-up brow.

Wanting to forcibly unleash her divinity.

But……

The next moment.

A huge palm like a cattail fan suddenly covered her head.

Noble Consort Ji was terrified to the extreme.

She didn't really understand why she had provoked such an assassin.

She also didn't understand why, being inside the Ji Clan manor, such a terrifying assassin would appear!

"Why…… why……"

Her exquisite makeup had already smudged, and in her frightened compliance, Noble Consort Ji's bullying beauty was pushed to the extreme.

Her red lips pressed together, she made a difficult and pitiful inquiry.

She wanted to use her bullying beauty to exchange for this man's pity, seeking a sliver of survival.

However……

What she faced was the murderous intent raging like a stormy sea beneath that ox demon mask.

Looking at her tragically exquisite beautiful face was like looking at an evil old woman who wanted to feed poison to a baby.

This man, no woman in his eyes?!

No explanation.

Death doesn't need explanation!

Five fingers like a bamboo fan, suddenly clenched.

Consort Ji's beautiful head exploded entirely.

A snap of the finger.

A strand of primordial steel leapt out like an electric arc.

Consort Ji's mortal body instantly shredded into a blood mist.

Amid the hazy, acrid blood mist intertwining.

The Bull Demon, towering like a tower mountain, his whole body piled with muscles, every blue vein roared upward like an unrestrained flood dragon.

His twin eyes gleamed, exuding murderous intent.

Who said that once he reached Shendu he wouldn't dare kill?

Murder.

Begin.

"The first…"
