387. Chapter 380: Bottom Card Half-Step Peerless Mechanized Beast, the Divine Sky Prison Thunder Sword Must Die【Seek Monthly Ticket】
Whooo—
The raging wind howled incessantly, causing the many peach trees in the entire Peach Orchard to sway, their leaves rustling.
The blazing sun hanging high in the sky cast down its brilliant light, which filtered through the dense peach-tree branches and leaves, like crushed gold, splashing onto the ground in shimmering radiance.
The peach trees, reaching a height of a hundred zhang, had extremely thick trunks and lush foliage.
At this moment, blown by the wind, they swayed ceaselessly.
Li Che's black robe, embroidered with a golden lotus, had its hem fluttering loudly; his expression was gentle as he stood against the wind, the breeze lifting his hair at the temples, his whole demeanor calm as if bathed in spring wind.
The three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect approaching him seemed to exert no pressure whatsoever.
That calm, composure, and nonchalance caused Zhang Xuanlei's eyes, which burst with thunderous lightning, to flare with uncontrollable anger.
Zhang Xuanlei suddenly lifted his head; the red-date-like mark on his forehead throbbed nonstop with a 'thump-thump', the wooden hairpin tied to his head shattering inch by inch, his black hair flying wildly and lashing about.
"Have you gotten a little stronger?"
"You've gotten stronger…… today is also your day of death!"
Zhang Xuanlei narrowed his phoenix eyes, his expression fierce as thunder, and took a step forward; his black Daoist robe was instantly suffused with divine power, making even a flap of its hem as sharp as a blade.
"Your daughter killed my son; I kill you, Li Che—what's wrong with that?"
Zhang Xuanlei opened his mouth, like a tongue bursting with spring thunder, rolling explosions echoing between the peach groves.
Beside Zhang Xuanlei, the two Daoists Zhang Xuanhe and Zhang Xuanrui stepped down in cloth shoes, their gray-black Daoist robes also billowing in the wind, divine power cascading over them and swelling against the breeze.
Killing Li Che to avenge Zhang Yunlong is their shared consensus.
However, if Li Che chose to connect with the Queen Mother West's divinity, retreat and leave the Peach Orchard, withdrawing from the Peach Blossom Assembly, then it would be very difficult for them to truly kill Li Che.
But they were betting that Li Che would not readily give up this Heroes' Society.
Zhang Xuanlei clenched his five fingers, and a peach-wood sword fell into his hand—not an ordinary peach-wood sword, its surface inscribed with divine glyphs, those ancient glyphs brimming with divine power, as if they could uniquely communicate with the celestial immortals above.
As for Li Che's claim of becoming stronger through a breakthrough, Zhang Xuanlei didn't care.
Because, even if Li Che truly had a breakthrough, how could he possibly jump from just having undergone the first divine transformation of the Divine Fetus to the fourth divine transformation of the Divine Fetus and ascend to the rank of Great God?
That is utterly impossible; cultivating divinity, like martial arts, requires time to temper.
Divinity needs to be accumulated, though some people have a good divine aptitude—for example, the divine child with purple qi piercing the heavens, compared to the divine child with purple qi extending a thousand zhang, the efficiency of divine condensation differs vastly.
From the first to the second divine transformation of the Divine Fetus—from the gestation of the five viscera to the formation of the hundred bones—the required accumulation of divinity is immense; even with the aid of divine crystal phases, time is still needed to refine it.
The same principle applies to martial arts: tempering the flesh, refining the qi and blood into human elixirs, and so on—all require time.
Therefore, Zhang Xuanlei never believed Li Che could achieve a major breakthrough in his Divine Fetus cultivation in such a short time.
Anyway, no matter how Li Che breaks through, he could never surpass Zhang Xuanlei.
As the top hero of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, a heaven‑favored prodigy born with the divine aptitude of purple qi piercing the heavens, Zhang Xuanlei, now in his forties, has already cultivated his Divine Fetus realm to the height of the third divine transformation, and stands a great chance of breaking through to the Great God realm before a full sixty‑year cycle passes!
This is Zhang Xuanlei's confidence.
Li Che's smile began to fade gradually, his gaze slowly sweeping over the three.
"There's nothing wrong with that……"
"But since you want to kill me…… I…… will not hold back either."
Li Che said lightly.
Zhang Xuanlei's black hair coiled wildly, his eyes flashing with thunder.
He clenched the peach-wood sword in his five fingers; the sword seemed to summon thunder, emitting a continuous 'hiss-hiss-hiss'.
"Then…… come die."
His foot came down.
Behind Zhang Xuanlei floated a divine shrine, three chains driven into his spine; in a moment of trembling, divine power was channeled into his body.
Wave after wave of invisible divine energy surged outward.
Zhang Xuanlei's body boiled with divine power, a thunder‑like, ferocious sword intent exploding without cease, like a thousand birds crying out in fierce clamor!
His black Daoist robe billowed; in an instant, his entire qi mechanism surged like a great tide.
Zhang Xuanlei's killing intent overflowed; at this moment, his mind and spirit were completely filled with fury and killing intent!
Terrifying divine power, like the boiling, rolling waves of the Grand Canal, a surging river tide that overturns mountains and seas, erupted violently, immensely heavy.
Zhang Xuanlei stomped down heavily with one foot; instantly, the ground within a radius of several tens of zhang around him collapsed, the frost‑grass torn apart by the terrifying force, countless mud and sand surging upward.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xuanhe and Zhang Xuanrui also simultaneously activated their divine shrines, divine power pouring down upon them, and their auras underwent an earth‑shaking transformation.
Zhang Xuanhe's flesh swelled like a balloon being inflated, countless veins bulging on his surface, fierce as a spider's web.
He had actually fused the divine power of the temple god with his flesh, achieving a bodily transformation of extreme terror!
His qi and blood merged with the temple god's divine power, surging outward; clenching his five fingers, Zhang Xuanhe's body lunged downward like an arrowhead, shooting straight at Li Che to strike!
The divine shrine descended, pressing down on Zhang Xuanhe's enlarged flesh, chains winding around his waist and abdomen, even tied into a bow.
Clenching his five fingers into a fist, forming a fist seal, he sprinted at extreme speed, the fist seal pushing forward like a blazing inferno erupting in flames!
Crack—crack—crack—crack—
The martial will surged forth, actually resonating with the temple god's divine power!
He is a martial practitioner who has taken the path of divine martial arts to the extreme; compared to the True Martial Dao of the True Martial Divine Sect, they are two extremes, and even more so compared to pure martial arts.
Zhang Xuanlei gripped the sword with one hand, stepping down slowly, his speed not fast.
He was accumulating killing intent, brewing thunder, gathering it into the peach‑wood sword; the divine chains behind him resembled conduits, each tremor and vibration channeling divine power to merge with the thunder and flow into the sword.
Zhang Xuanlei was brewing a sure‑kill strike, desiring to slay Li Che with a single sword!
Thus, Zhang Xuanhe's figure instantly surpassed Zhang Xuanlei, taking the vanguard for Zhang Xuanlei!
Three against one, the three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect joined forces to besiege a single opponent.
An encirclement by such a force can be said to be utterly despair‑inducing.
Especially, the three were originally senior and junior brothers with extremely tacit cooperation.
On the other side, Zhang Xuan Yu's eyes suddenly turned azure, like ice crystals, and she did not, like Zhang Xuan He, horizontally clench a fist seal to take the initiative.
Instead, she sat cross-legged on the ground, with a divine shrine hovering behind her, pouring down strands of divinity.
Her heaven-and-earth soul suddenly trembled awake, as if a female deity had abruptly swelled and emerged from the divine shrine, arms outstretched, praying to heaven and earth.
Zhang Xuan Yu chanted the ancient and intricate notes; slowly, within the lush branches and leaves of the hundred-zhang peach orchard, dense black clouds actually arose.
Dark clouds overlapped, and a cold wind howled.
Suddenly.
Drop after drop of crystal-clear water beads floated out from around Zhang Xuan Yu, and the dark clouds above were suddenly torn apart; a water dragon formed entirely of gathering crystal-clear water beads, like a dark cloud probing its head, struggled and flew out from within!
One, two, three...
The majestic divinity expended; in just a few breaths, six ferocious water dragons, teeth bared and claws brandished, roaring incessantly, were brewed within the dark clouds!
Countless water vapors rose; the water dragons spewed forth, layer upon layer of clear water curtains like mountain spring flows, spreading out with a splashing sound!
Crack—crack!
Thunder roared, lightning and dragon chants rang out; the rainwater falling from the dark clouds precisely enveloped this area of the peach orchard in a water‑curtain world.
And at the moment Zhang Xuan He clenched a scorching fist, killing toward Li Che's head overhead, carrying a terrifying aura as it pressed down.
The six water dragons were already suspended in six directions, spanning sixty zhang horizontally and expanding a hundred‑zhang range, converging into a water‑curtain domain!
Zhang Xuan Yu's eyes were azure like ice crystals.
The hairpin on her head broke apart, and her black hair flew down like a waterfall.
"The Divine Domain is formed!"
"Li Che, you will surely die."
It was merely an instant; the killing aura seemed to freeze heaven and earth, forming a unique domain in which Zhang Xuan Yu held the home advantage.
This is a method that alters heavenly phenomena and the world itself, temporarily forming an area akin to a minor cave heaven.
As soon as the three made a move, they employed absolute killing techniques; once this domain was formed…
It even cut off Li Che's chance to use the Queen Mother of the West's divinity to escape this place!
This was the determination to definitely kill Li Che!
Boom—boom—boom——!!!
In just a moment, the situation became extremely disadvantageous for Li Che!
The killing intent almost triggered the self‑protection seals of every peach tree within a radius of several dozen zhang!
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—whoosh——
Scorching heat waves rolled on, making the air seem to ripple with waves.
A strong gust, like a waterfall discharging, clung tightly to Li Che's body.
At the moment Zhang Xuan Yu's minor cave‑heaven domain took shape.
Zhang Xuan He's fist had already come sweeping through the air!
This fist blazed radiant, as if countless glories were compressed within it; its force was mighty, perfectly combining divinity and martial dao, the very epitome of flawless divine martial practice!
The fist swept across the sky; wherever its front passed, all airflow seemed to be driven aside and scattered!
As if beneath the falling fist, all things turned to ash, everything reduced to nothing!
Even given Li Che's attainment in martial dao, he could not help but feel admiration for this fist of Zhang Xuan He; the fusion of power and divinity was quite perfect, an ultimate, blazing fist like the high sun in the sky, overwhelming and unstoppable!
Facing this fist.
Li Che's heart and mind stirred slightly.
In his chest.
The Immortal Craft Dao Fruit throbbed!
His five fingers suddenly tore open the air, as if an enormous fissure appeared in the void.
Then…
Accompanied by a 'crack‑crack‑crack‑crack' of extremely fine sound.
A tail composed of countless polished spiritual‑wood parts suddenly dangled down from behind the fissure.
Suddenly, an explosive jerk.
The air seemed to be twisted and burst by the pull, and it collided fiercely with Zhang Xuan He's mighty, towering fist!
Zhang Xuan He's whole body shuddered as he felt a terrifying, mountain‑moving force erupt and explode.
Between the bursting shockwaves.
Zhang Xuan He felt an incredible recoil; his whole body was swept away like a cannonball, flying sideways.
Then…
Countless air currents tore apart, smoke and dust billowed, and the twisted divine force was dispersed.
Revealed was a huge, immense black shadow!
Countless fine spiritual‑wood parts formed an immensely terrifying mechanism giant beast, over five meters tall!
With a splashing sound.
The mechanism beast's wings suddenly unfurled, as if covering heaven and earth!
And Li Che stood upon the mechanism beast's head, his arms slowly raised and then slowly crossed over his chest.
His eyes dark, he looked down from above on the aftermath of the collision, the air roaring as Zhang Xuan He hastily retreated.
Fine parts made of spiritual wood, like countless tiny dragon scales, covered the body of the mechanism beast beneath Li Che's feet.
Two sharp horns, crimson eyes like inlaid ruby agate, and gaping huge fangs!
Roar——
Tang Clan half-step absolute mechanism beast!
Twin-winged little Yinglong King!
With a roar, in an instant it made the hundred-zhang peach trees start to rustle and tremble!
Li Che overlooked from above.
He overlooked the three heroes of the Purple Mansion.
"Are you ready…… to be beaten to death by me?"
……
……
Shendu Second City
A silence fell, not even a crow or sparrow made a sound.
Only the sunlight tore through the clouds, pouring down, and the rustling sound of the willows on both sides of the street being blown by the wind remained.
Above the White Jade Plaza, the Heavenly River like a jade hairpin tore open the void, and the heavenly river water curtain pouring down, casting its image, attracted everyone's gaze.
Almost everyone stared, unblinking, at the image reflected in the heavenly river water curtain.
In the image……
It was precisely the scene of the three heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect besieging Li Che!
Zhang Xuanlei, Zhang Xuanhe, and Zhang XuanYu, the three heroes, as soon as they met, went all out, giving it their all.
Zhang Xuanlei amassed thunder, nurturing the thunder sword; while on the other side, Zhang Xuanlei erupted with an extreme divine martial fist, and Zhang XuanYu further opened a water dragon domain, severing the retreat of the mysterious void's divine essence escape.
This is aimed at the purpose of encircling and annihilating Li Che to death!
Even though separated by the heavenly river water curtain, many spectators could clearly feel the immense killing intent contained within this siege!
"Shameless! They're shameless!"
At the edge of the White Jade Plaza, Xixi stomped her feet in anger, gritted her teeth, and her eyes showed visible panic and anger.
Such a lineup……
Can Dad hold up?
Will Dad die?
Xixi felt a surge of panic and a tightness in her chest; she was very angry.
With a thudding step, she ran to Lü Taibai's side.
"Sect Master Master! They're shameless, lacking martial virtue! They're besieging Dad! You…… help Dad!"
Xixi's face flushed red with anger.
Lü Taibai's brows also furrowed; after comforting Xixi for a while, he looked with a grave expression toward the heavenly river water curtain.
Li Che…… how to break the situation?
If he reveals his martial cultivation and combines it with his divine fetus cultivation, Li Che might still have a chance; at least death should be impossible.
But Zhang Xuanlei, Zhang Xuanhe, and Zhang XuanYu joining forces are absolutely extremely troublesome!
Zhang Ya had already clenched her fists tightly, her palms full of sweat, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the heavenly river water curtain, her heart lifted high.
Although it wasn't the first time she knew cultivation was dangerous, Zhang Ya still felt very anxious and guilty.
It is precisely because of her that her husband and Xixi face these risks, seeking to obtain a nine-thousand-year-old peach for her.
Zhang Ya closed her eyes, her emotions unable to calm for a long time.
She recalled how her family walked out of a dilapidated, leaky hut and arrived at their present height, now living days previously unimaginable.
Yet her heart felt a faint sourness.
Because they could live these good days, everything relied on Li Che, on her husband alone.
"Husband……"
"Absolutely nothing must happen!"
Zhang Ya's complexion turned pale.
The entirety of Shendu's Second and Third Cities fell into dead silence.
On the walls of the Third City, Nie Yang, Li Qing Shan, and others also had extremely grim expressions.
They stared fixedly at the heavenly river water curtain.
When Zhang Xuanhe's fist fell, Li Qing Shan's heart almost felt like it would burst out jumping.
Boom——!!!
The heavenly river water curtain seemed as if it were violently shaking and exploding.
Terrific and blazing light exploded—it was the radiant, glorious fist of Zhang Xuanhe, bursting forth in a booming blast!
The image faded, the flowing light dissipated, and then emerged a scene that left everyone astonished and shocked.
The clamorous sound almost instantly erupted like a torrent breaking through mountains and seas!
In Shendu's Third City, those gathered on the city tower, upon seeing everyone in the heavenly river water curtain image, couldn't help but exclaim!
"That is……"
"A mechanism beast?!"
"It seems like the Tang Clan's absolute mechanism beast, the twin-winged little Yinglong King?!"
"Wrong! It's not absolute, just half-step absolute!"
"But even a half-step absolute mechanism beast rivals a supreme martial artist! Li Half-Saint, worthy of being the Divine Eagle Half-Saint, has astonishing accomplishment in mechanism arts, actually creating a half-step absolute mechanism beast!"
"There's a chance!"
……
The wandering martial artists from various prefectures of Dàjǐng suddenly leapt up with joy.
These jianghu wanderers still possessed some jianghu chivalry; the three great heroes of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect surrounded Li Che alone, making them feel ashamed, so when Li Che revealed his trump card, the wanderers instantly exclaimed in excitement.
The second city of Shendu.
Because the sunshine was brilliant, the large canopy originally set up to block the spring rain was taken down.
Sunshine poured down, illuminating table after table of feasts.
The Lotus Pavilion's main banquet area.
The plain-clothed National Preceptor Xie Yunshen's expression turned slightly odd: "A warbeast? The Tang clan's warbeast…… Li Half-Saint's trump card is actually this thing?"
The Tang clan's annihilation was the work of the Gongshu family; many thought the Grand Supervisor had intervened, but in fact……
The Grand Supervisor did not intervene in the Tang clan's annihilation; everything was the secret manipulation of the Gongshu family and him, Xie Yunshen.
The Tang clan's warbeast is immensely powerful; under Xie Yunshen's secret manipulation, the Tang clan's warbeast now belongs to Dàjǐng.
In the frontier regions of Dàjǐng, it displayed great splendor; even the Temple Garrison's assault on temples shows traces of the warbeast.
Thus, the National Preceptor Xie Yunshen's attitude toward the warbeast is naturally somewhat strange.
"Indeed it is a Tang clan warbeast, but only a half-step peerless warbeast, is it the Tang clan warbeast's dying breath? No, it seems Li Che alone crafted it; this person's talent in mechanikal arts is astonishingly high."
National Preceptor Xie Yunshen couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Mechanikal arts and divine condor techniques are actually not equivalent; their talents differ.
Now it appears Li Che's talent in mechanikal arts is not inferior to that of the divine condor.
Those peerless warbeasts of the Tang clan were crafted by the massive Tang clan, which summoned dozens of mechanikal masters to create them together, yet Li Che, alone, managed to polish and manufacture a half-step peerless warbeast!
Xie Yunshen took a sip of wine.
He slowly exhaled a breath.
"This person…… is truly terrifying."
"If he cannot be used by the court, his threat is not even weaker than a great divine sect!"
Lü Chi, sitting beside Xie Yunshen with clenched fists, gazing at the Heavenly River water curtain, upon hearing these words, couldn't help but start slightly.
He looked at National Preceptor Xie Yunshen with some disbelief.
National Preceptor…… actually gave Uncle Li such high praise?
However, Lü Chi reflected, recalling the scene from six years ago when he first saw Li Che, up to Li Che's current stature……
His heart involuntarily trembled slightly.
The National Preceptor's evaluation is indeed reasonable.
……
……
Second round of the Heroes' Triumph Assembly.
Within the five-thousand-year-old peach forest.
As the second round began, many heroes formed teams outside the bamboo fences of the Peach Garden, then each started to sprint swiftly through the peach forest.
When the three heroes of the Purple Mansion found Li Che.
Battles erupted everywhere in the peach forest.
The golden-haired Gold-Winged Roc's blond hair flew wildly; beside him followed a young monk wearing a kasaya and yellow monk's robes, Venerable Jia Luo.
There was also a white-clad woman with disheveled hair, holding a purple bamboo staff over seven feet long.
Opposite them were the three heroes of the True Martial Divine Sect: Shi Xuan, Shi Miao, and Shi Jingang.
Upon meeting, the six exchanged no many words and immediately engaged in fierce combat.
On the other side.
Ji family's Ji Chen, Yue family's Yue Wang Lou, and the Gongshu family's Gongshu Longbow—these three heroes of the great ancient clans—encountered Zhou Chihuo, Ao Yuan, and the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect's top hero Zhao Jun.
After a brief exchange of words, both sides immediately launched into combat.
Upon reaching the second round of the Heroes' Triumph Assembly, everyone's purpose in forming teams was to charge toward the third round.
To advance to the third round means each person must obtain four peaches.
Of the twenty heroes, ultimately only four can advance to the next round.
So……
No need for many words.
One battle will decide it!
Terrifying aura, divinity, and qi-blood erupted explosively.
It wasn't only Li Che and the three heroes of the Purple Mansion clashing; battles erupted simultaneously everywhere!
……
……
Boom——!!!
The Little Yinglong King's wings suddenly unfolded, countless finely crafted components forming wings, as if extremely sharp blades had been honed and combined together.
At the moment of unfolding, with a crack-crack-crack sound, like an ultimate sharp blade, it sliced the air into shards!
Li Che repeatedly struck out divine crystals, inserting them into the Little Yinglong King's energy zone.
Instantly, the Little Yinglong King seemed to have fully revived.
This is Li Che's trump card, after the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit advanced to level 6, achieving the fourth metamorphosis of the Dao Fruit.
Li Che's research on this half-step peerless warbeast had already made great progress.
Originally, Li Che was researching the peerless warbeast 'Thousand-Eyed Four-Winged Yinglong King,' but even with the lv6 Immortal Craft Dao Fruit in play……
Creating a peerless warbeast remains no small difficulty.
Yet the half-step peerless warbeast he had been researching was accomplished in one fell swoop.
Cooperating with the polishing and assembly of Li Che's numerous painting immortal avatars...
Finally, half a month before the Peach Banquet opened, the manufacturing of this half-step peerless mechanism beast was completed.
Nearly one hundred thousand precision parts, nearly one hundred thousand mechanism seals, arranged and assembled according to the formation's paths...
At this moment, the Little Yinglong King finally revealed its sharpness.
"Roar——!!!"
Controlling the Little Yinglong King with one's mind gives a feeling of moving as if it were an extension of one's arm.
Li Che's killing intent surged instantly, sensed by the Little Yinglong King; this intense killing intent emotion was immediately captured and amplified by the mechanism seals.
The terrifying killing intent, like a sudden storm sweeping through, ravaged the Peach Blossom Forest.
With a flap of its wings, the Little Yinglong King's body surged forward, moving with extreme suppression and extreme speed, charging toward Zhang Xuanhe, whose fist seals had been scattered and blocked.
"Boom——!"
One hundred thousand mechanism seals operated simultaneously, the terrifying propulsive force triggering divinity.
Conveying divinity like surging tides!
The Little Yinglong King swept its tail, like a steel blade sweeping across, the void exploded, air currents shattered, the scorching dragon tail seemed to drag out the terrifying martial saint's blade gang, almost touching the awe-inspiring presence of a peak martial saint.
In the flash of lightning, the dragon tail swept sideways, like an angry azure dragon descending upon humanity, choosing a person to devour.
Zhang Xuanhe was sent flying by the Little Yinglong King's appearance; his divine shrine trembled, as if a muscular, twisted divine phantom emerged to compensate.
A long whistle!
Zhang Xuanhe steadied his inverted body, five fingers clenched into a fist, as if a terrifying fist phantom condensed in the void, colliding with that blade-gang-like dragon tail.
"Pa pa pa pa pa——"
Zhang Xuanhe's body shone brightly, his qi sea surged, his qi and blood rushed upward like beacon smoke, dyeing the entire Peach Blossom Forest red.
Every pore sprayed blood mist, yet he stubbornly blocked the Little Yinglong King's tail's vicious lash.
"Li Che, die!"
Meanwhile.
Zhang Xuanlei seemed to notice something amiss; Li Che actually summoned a half-step peerless mechanism beast, causing his heart to twitch slightly.
He couldn't help but recall the scene where he used mechanisms to force his son Zhang Yuanlong into a desperate situation, having to abandon his flesh entirely and entrust it to the temple god.
Killing intent grew denser; Zhang Xuanlei's peach wood sword intertwined with countless thunderbolts, which he brandished fiercely.
The peach wood sword intertwined with countless electric currents, shooting out explosively!
"Divine Might Profound Mystery, Sword Thunder Heavenly Induction!"
"Order!"
"Order——!!!"
Zhang Xuanlei exhaled like a thunderclap; lightning flashed in his eyes, his whole body trembled immensely, as if he had been struck by terrifying thunder.
His ten fingers tapped continuously; the peach wood sword floated up, then transformed into a bolt of electric light charging forth, with thousands of birds crying out and exploding!
He formed hand seals, pointing to both temples; Zhang Xuanlei exhaled an order, releasing a sword qi!
One sword, as if pulled by the power of heaven and earth!
Like heavenly thunder descending!
The peach wood sword trembled, speed surged; the accumulated killing intent and thunderbolts were fully released at this moment!
Zhang XuanYu sat cross-legged on the ground, commanding a water dragon to seal the surroundings, forming a small cave heaven-like domain, cutting off Li Che's connection with the Queen Mother of the West's peach blossom branches, eliminating the possibility of surrender and survival.
This is a deadly situation!
"Die!"
"Die!"
"Die——!!!"
Within this water-prison-like heaven and earth, Zhang XuanYu's rebukes echoed, as if they could stir people's souls.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Zhang Xuanlei's offered peach wood sword, wrapped in the immense divinity from the divine shrine behind him!
Belonging to an all-out killing move, its target was Li Che's life!
The earth-shaking explosion sound, wrapped within the sword qi and sword gang, was like thunder!
The sword qi flood, rolling thunder, dragging scorching air currents like a thunder dragon emerging from heavenly clouds, at the terrifying speed of a sudden spring thunder, slashed at Li Che standing atop the Little Yinglong King!
The sky-covering sword qi flood, like a group of thunderbolts descending and intertwining, a terrifying sight!
Filled with oppression and despair!
This sword...
Li Che, standing atop the Little Yinglong King, his black hair flying and splitting the air, his toes lightly touching down, his whole body as if walking on flat ground, he left the Little Yinglong King, his body instantly stepping through the air, moving dozens of zhang in an instant.
But that terrifying electric current-intertwined peach wood sword continued its pursuit!
Li Che's expression remained indifferent; golden lightning suddenly burst forth in his eyes!
The next moment, he raised his hand and touched his brow.
The Heaven-Earth Embodiment Spiritually Bright True Monkey Divine Fetus trembled.
The Heaven-Earth Embodiment Divine Fetus Secret Technique erupted!
Instantly, a colossal Heaven-Earth Embodiment phantom appeared, spanning a hundred zhang tall, as tall as the peach blossom trees.
And Zhang Xuanlei's shot-out thunder peach wood sword fiercely struck the Heaven-Earth Embodiment.
The surging sword qi, countless thunderbolts, and churning divinity, at the collision point between the Heaven-Earth Embodiment and the thunder peach wood sword, continuously churned, annihilated, and shattered!
The air seemed to boil instantly, becoming distorted and blurred!
Zhang Xuanlei's eyes intertwined with electric currents; the divine shrine behind him erupted with a divinity shockwave, and he forcefully clapped his palms together!
Break it for me!
Zhang Xuanlei naturally knew Li Che's Heaven-Manifesting Earthly Form; after all, Li Che had demonstrated it during the pre-banquet, even defeating Zhou Chiguo and Monk Wukong.
But Zhang Xuanlei still had confidence; as long as he broke Li Che's Heaven-Earth Dharma Form, the power of this sword secret art would be enough to behead Li Che!
However…
Zhang Xuanlei's expression changed slightly.
How could it be this hard?!
Li Che's Divine Fetus realm is merely a first transformation of the Divine Fetus, so how could it be this hard?!
Zhang Xuanlei's eyes, intertwined with electric currents, shot up as he looked toward Li Che's direction.
Yet he saw Li Che cross his arms again, and behind him countless splendid Golden Cores suddenly appeared.
Among the thirteen Golden Cores, each throbbed violently, transmitting the fetal respiration heartbeat!
The heart throbbed?!
Divine Fetus?!
All of them are Divine Fetuses?!
This…
Zhang Xuanlei's pupils constricted; even though he came from the Purple Firmament Divine Sect, well-versed and knowledgeable, at this moment his hairs stood on end.
What the hell is this?!
Thirteen Divine Fetuses—no! Adding the Divine Fetus of the Heaven-Earth Dharma Form, Li Che has actually refined fourteen Divine Fetuses?!
Boom——!!!
Li Che crossed his arms, his black hair flying.
He indifferently gazed at the peachwood sword intertwined with thunder…
A cold smile slowly curled at the corner of his lips.
"Is that… all?"
Within his chest.
【Electromagnetic Orbital】 Dao fruit suddenly trembled!
In the next moment, a tremendous suction force erupted from the Heaven-Earth Dharma Form, turning into a bottomless abyss that instantly devoured all the thunder Zhang Xuanlei had accumulated on the peachwood sword over half a day!
Having been completely devoured, the terrifying sword-thunder power began to gradually fade.
And Li Che's eyes glowed slightly, as if endless radiance burst forth!
The glabella's niwan trembled again.
Ripple-like divine undulations spread, wrinkling and distorting space.
Then.
A Golden Core rampant with sword qi floated up, accompanied by the sound of a heartbeat from the Golden Core, and a figure intertwined with sword qi appeared.
Another Divine Fetus?!
Zhang Xuanlei's face froze completely!
One person…
How could he possibly possess so many Divine Fetuses?!
A wisp of Divine Thunder was drawn forth by Li Che's mind, together with the thunder just summoned by Zhang Xuanlei!
All merged into a single sword.
"Now it's my turn."
Li Che crossed his arms.
Standing suspended in the air, countless electric lights burst forth around him!
Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Divine Fetus trembled.
Then he thrust forth a sword.
【Electromagnetic Orbital】 Dao fruit trembled; the divine ability 【Divine Thunder Prison Sword】 merged flawlessly with the sword thrust from Lü Xuan Sword Immortal Divine Fetus!
Li Che's voice echoed endlessly in the dense peach forest, then turned into rolling thunder!
An ultimate splendid thunder-sword light suddenly coalesced, like a sponge absorbing water, gathering before Li Che and forming a black-gold thunder-sword blade.
In an instant——
The sword slashed out!
Divine Thunder Prison Sword!
All sounds seemed to vanish, leaving only a sword-light that annihilates everything, flashing past in an instant, silent yet its might far surpasses Zhang Xuanlei's sword by leaps and bounds!
It sliced open everything before it!
Zhang Xuanlei's hairs stood on end, the danger of death climbing ever higher!
However, Zhang Xuanlei's mind stirred, and behind him his divine shrine burst forth with brilliant light.
Three chains pierced into his spine, and Zhang Xuanlei let out a pained cry.
Yet his aura continued to rise, his connection with the temple deity deepening further!
However…
Zhang Xuanlei, who had been ready to face Li Che's terrifying sword, his expression abruptly changed!
"Xuanhe!"
"Be careful!"
Because Li Che's slashed Divine Thunder Prison Sword actually traced a huge arc, sweeping past above Zhang Xuanlei's head.
It slashed toward Zhang Xuanhe, who was being beaten and suppressed by a half-step peerless mechanized beast.
Zhang Xuanhe had not yet reacted, never expecting that Li Che, who was facing Zhang Xuanlei's Divine Might Sword Thunder strike, would actually shamelessly sneak attack him……
He didn't even have time to completely offer his fleshly body to the temple god in the divine shrine……
He was cut by a single sword, split open instantly!
With a tearing sound, he was split into two!
His fleshly body severed, his vitality severed!
Blood spattered, hot waves surged!
Whooo—
Hot currents surged, bloody stench permeated, fierce winds raged, accompanied by Li Che no longer suppressing, gradually releasing his earth-shaking killing intent with a low, deep voice that slowly echoed through the Peach Blossom Forest.
"Don't rush."
"Everyone will die."
End of Chapter
