Chapter 417: with translation of chapter title, then ===GLOSSARY=== with list of named entities appearing in these lines

LV6 rank Guanyin Lotus Bullet, a war weapon; the Underworld's assassination of the Yama King is watching you【seeking monthly tickets】

Hummm—

Space began to warp, giving a faint tugging sensation.

As the 【Chess Saint】's Dao fruit metamorphosed to LV6, the transmission effect of the Flying Thunder chess pieces became even more extraordinary, not only able to carry people along in movement, but even the movement became smoother and more comfortable.

Originally, the transmission of the Flying Thunder chess pieces had an unstable feeling; during high-speed transmission and movement, it would cause a strong sense of dizziness.

But after the metamorphosis of the Dao fruit, it optimized this feeling, making movement even smoother and better able to ignore the influence of pressure.

Just like in Shendu, even Shendu's sealing great formation cannot affect the movement of the Flying Thunder chess pieces.

The air surged like water waves, like a rising tide.

Then, a divine aura rampaged and intertwined; the goose-feather heavy snow flying between heaven and earth was all shredded by divine power, exploding into fine powder.

Splash—

On the surging surface of the Grand Canal.

Li Che's jet-black, vigorous hair flew up; the divine aura spreading from the glabella of his brow was like a canopy, wrapping Xixi, Jin Taishui, Yun'e, and Zhou Peng, the four children, inside.

Try to minimize the dizziness brought on when moving them with Flying Thunder.

Before, when going to Shendu, traveling north along the Grand Canal, Li Che left many Flying Thunder chess pieces along the way; when returning, he rode on the boss and the dog-smash bamboo raft, so none were used.

Now, sending the children out for training, it actually let Li Che make use of them.

After about three Flying Thunder jumps, they left the Lingnan Dao region and entered Guangling Dao.

However, Guangling Dao is also vast; here the atmosphere of alchemy thrives, producing many alchemy masters.

Divine aura enveloped the children; Li Che tapped his toe, and he appeared with Xixi and the four children on the bank of the Grand Canal.

Blue mountains covered in thick snow, the world silent.

Only the rustling sound of falling snow, and the roaring of the water flow on the Grand Canal.

Xixi was still sobbing, wet tears at the corners of her eyes; she also knew that this training would mean a long separation from her parents.

Although Xixi had long anticipated this training, she often dreamed in her sleep of Xixi the Great Emperor trampling the martial world, invincible and unrestrained.

But when Xixi truly set foot in the martial world, about to leave her parents and train alone, her heart was still very reluctant.

"When you're out there, learn to take good care of yourself."

"If your parents aren't by your side and you suffer injustice, if you have the ability to retaliate on the spot, do so; if you lack the ability, write it down in a little notebook and after the training tell your father, and he will help you resolve it."

"When you're out there, the most important thing is not to wrong yourself."

"If you really encounter any trouble, Dad is there."

Li Che rubbed Xixi's head.

With his fingers spread, the Holy Hand Divine Eagle of the big black dog appeared and was handed to Xixi.

Xixi exclaimed "Wow," her eyes bright, and she happily took the Holy Hand Divine Eagle.

"If you truly encounter something you can't bear and lack the strength to resolve it… then pat the big black dog's divine eagle's head three times."

"Pat three times, and Dad will come."

Li Che laughed.

He squatted down, tidied Xixi's clothes, and pinched her chubby, baby-fat cheeks.

Xixi immediately nodded repeatedly, the sorrow on her face fading considerably.

Because of Li Che's words, Xixi felt much more open-hearted, as if her father were always by her side.

Afterward, Li Che looked at Jin Taishui, Yun'e, and Zhou Peng: "You too, take good care of yourselves."

Li Che's voice was gentle.

The three immediately felt warm-hearted, especially Jin Taishui, whose eyes flickered with a hint of moisture.

So this is what it feels like to be cared for.

The wind and snow howled, sweeping across heaven and earth.

Li Che wore a smile, his embroidered gold lotus black robe rustling, his black hair whipping the void.

The four children felt warm-hearted watching him.

"Go."

Li Che waved his hand, his voice gentle, waving lightly.

Xixi hugged the big black dog, and with Jin Taishui and the others she walked into the wind and snow, looking back three times with each step.

Each time she looked back, she could see her father standing in the wind and snow, gazing at her gently.

I don't know how far they had gone; it seemed even the sound of the Grand Canal's waves could no longer be heard.

Xixi suddenly turned back, only to find she could no longer see her father's figure.

She pressed her lips, Xixi's eye sockets reddened, but soon she clenched her little fists.

She wiped away the tears with her sleeve: "Mom and Dad, rest assured, Xixi will surely become very strong, very strong, and will well protect Mom and Dad!"

Xixi gazed at the world blurred by wind and snow.

The next moment, with a turn, her toes dug sharply into the snow.

The snow instantly exploded into a deep pit, and her whole body shot out like a cannonball.

Jin Taishui swayed his body, lunged forward, and quickly caught up.

Yun'e looked at Xixi, whose visage was becoming ever more beautiful, and couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile.

She too had watched Xixi grow up; when they went to Jin Guangfu back then, Xixi was still a tiny tot.

And now, Xixi has begun her training.

Yun'e's reason for agreeing to come on this training was also because she was worried about Xixi.

She treats Xixi just like an older sister looking after a younger sister.

Yun E pulled out a bamboo hat with a dangling white veil, put it on, and hugged the fluffy white rabbit in her arms. In her mind, divine energy surged, and an otherworldly immortal aura followed her.

Four children, for the first time leaving their relatives and family, embarked on the road of distant travel and training.

Even though they were more precocious than their peers, at this moment their hearts harbored an irrepressible fervor!

Xixi ran wildly for a while; the wind and snow kept exploding upon impact with her body, the white flying snow turning into a mist that billowed without cease.

As she ran, Xixi couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

Her little face flushed red, like an apple blown by the cold wind.

The little cotton shoes her mother had personally sewn for her suddenly sparked, the clattering sound of turning wheels exploded, and two wheels of the Prison Lotus Wind-Fire Golden Light Wheel rose from beneath her feet.

She leapt into the air, shooting straight into the clouds.

The seven-year-old her, like a fish leaping into the sea!

"Xixi! Wait for us!"

Behind Xixi.

Jin Taishui, Zhou Peng, and Yun E, the three of them, hurriedly shouted loudly.

Afterward, the children gradually forgot their sorrow, laughter burst forth, echoing between heaven and earth.

……

……

Li Che's black robe fluttered; within his chest, the Dragon-Elephant Golden Core Dao Fruit throbbed, while the Heaven-Earth Chessboard rotated above his head, completely sealing off his aura.

He seemed to become invisible, moving through the wind and snow, slowly following behind the children.

Watching the children, like untamed horses breaking free, he couldn't help but feel a dumbfounded awe.

Indeed, they were still just children.

After following for a while, Li Che flicked his finger.

Instantly, countless Flying Thunder chess pieces silently seeped into the children's bodies.

Li Che then stopped following, quietly watching the children happily pass through, disappearing into the wind and snow of heaven and earth.

"Huu—"

Li Che gently exhaled a breath.

Hot breath steamed, he lifted his head, allowing snowflakes to land on his face.

The next moment.

In Li Che's eyes, an intense killing intent instantly erupted.

"The court... the Xie Yun God... it's all you who forced my Xixi to undergo training ahead of time."

"I'm angry."

Although Li Che had promised Xixi that once she turned seven he would arrange her training,

he hadn't expected it to happen so soon; Xixi had just finished her seventh birthday and now had to leave her parents for training—surely they should wait a month or two...

After all, Xixi is only seven; there's no need to rush her training.

But because the imperial army pressed the border, seeking to attack mountains and destroy sects, bringing a huge threat, Fang Hanshu wanted to preserve a spark, which caused Xixi's training journey to begin early.

The impact isn't great, but there is still an impact!

As a father, Li Che could hardly bear to part with his daughter setting out on distant training.

A feeling of reluctance had long surged in his heart, so he needed to vent...

He would just find the culprit!

To fulfill his daughter's...

Just kill someone.

Crackle—

He spread his arms, bones and tendons ringing, golden qi and blood surged forth from his flesh.

In an instant, the heavens seemed to be twisted.

The sky instantly turned pitch black, as if a terrifying heaven-and-earth will raged and roared within the firmament!

Li Che clenched his five fingers, and his whole body instantly shifted and vanished.

He reappeared, already above the Grand Canal.

With a single step, the surface of the Grand Canal sank deeply, forming a huge pit.

And Li Che's figure vanished once again.

……

……

Ganyuan Dao City.

Boom—

The waters of the Grand Canal surged in waves, rising and falling.

Snowflakes falling from heaven and earth evaporated before they could touch the water, turned into a white mist of hot vapor that rose between heaven and earth.

The Li Che wearing the Ox Demon mask, his sovereign avatar, had eyes that flickered dimly.

"The Dragon God Crown Prince... and the three dragon sons of the Dragon God lineage..."

At this moment, the sovereign avatar shared Li Che's consciousness.

"Whether my Myriad Demon Emperor Dao Fruit can transform depends on you..."

The Ox Demon gave a low chuckle.

Sensing the fluctuations beneath the riverbed, the terrifying qi that caused the river's tides to rise and fall differed from the state of the Golden-Haired Xuan, which normally maintained a human form.

The Dragon God lineage usually maintains its dragon form in daily life, which appears more noble, preserving the purity of the Dragon God bloodline and upholding the pride of being a dragon.

Therefore, compared to the golden-haired xiezhi, they are actually more like the demon race.

Dragons, too, are demons.

The Dragon God Crown Prince maintained his dragon form, sunk in slumber at the riverbed, as if cultivating, drawing in the divinity between heaven and earth.

Because he had swallowed the Dragon Emperor Pearl, the Dragon God Crown Prince's aura was terrifyingly formidable, and he was unwilling to waste the Pearl's power, so he constantly maintained that state, likewise refining the Dragon Emperor Pearl.

After Li Che's Sovereign avatar sensed for a moment, it did not startle the snake.

But he crouched upon the river surface.

His five fingers spread open, the Immaculate Heart divinity slowly surged and flowed out, transforming into three white Flying Thunder chess pieces.

They fell into the river, sinking soundlessly.

Tumbling, they slowly descended.

Falling toward the riverbed, and under Li Che's sensory control, they drifted toward that Dragon God Crown Prince and the three slumbering dragon sons.

Their bodies were immensely huge, transformed into dragon forms stretching over a hundred zhang; compared to their colossal bodies, the Flying Thunder chess pieces were truly minuscule.

Like a speck of dust, they followed the river's dark current, were entrapped by the water's flow, and slowly settled, landing upon their slumbering dragon bodies.

Then……

Soundlessly, they hid within the gaps of their scales.

Feeling the mighty demonic aura transmitted back by the Flying Thunder chess pieces, beneath the Ox Demon mask, Li Che's Sovereign avatar instantly let out a light chuckle.

Then he rose to his feet, his black robe's sleeves fluttering, and thereafter paid no further heed to the Dragon God Crown Prince and the three dragon sons.

The Ox Demon mask fluttered as he strode forward, leaping across the great river before the eyes of all, and set foot upon the shore.

Soundlessly, as if merging with heaven and earth, indistinguishable!

Whoosh—

The night was deep, snowflakes swirling.

Clouds and mist gather, the moon dark and hazy; the drifting wind rises, kicking up dust.

The imperial court's great army was encamped.

Guarded tightly, the stockades were high-built; fire oil was splashed into the braziers, flames burning, rolling black smoke tearing through the night, sweeping away the snow.

There were grand master warriors clad in armor, their eyes sharp, standing upon them, vigilantly surveying the surroundings.

Patrolling troops, ranks neat, clad in stern armor, gripping polearms, constantly moving to and fro within the camp amidst the ice and snow, scanning and inspecting, leaving no corner unchecked.

The sounds of wind, snow, footsteps, and fluttering banners echoed incessantly within the camp.

The entire imperial court encampment seemed to be performing a mute play that delighted people.

Quite evident.

Such stringent patrol and guard made Li Che, who had walked from the wind and snow wearing an Ox Demon mask, his eyes flicker.

It seems……

Xie Yunshen has already noticed.

He calculated that the netherworld might come to carry out an assassination?!

Indeed, Xie Yunshen once suffered a loss at the hands of the netherworld; how could he possibly be unprepared?

Studying the netherworld's intelligence daily, Xie Yunshen certainly knows that the netherworld excels at assassination……

Therefore, during this period, Xie Yunshen must have been unable to rest or eat in peace, constantly preparing to face the netherworld's assassination attempts.

Although within the Dàjǐng imperial court's great army encampment there sit two Divine Tribulation experts……

Yet Xie Yunshen dares not gamble.

The netherworld……

What couldn't they do?!

Li Che could not help but admit that Xie Yunshen…… is indeed a very wise person, also very resolute, mainly because that silver tongue of his can persuade the strong to fight for him.

Hum—

Beneath the Ox Demon mask, Li Che's Sovereign avatar's eyes flickered.

The next moment.

A Flying Thunder chess piece floated up from his body, as if clenched tightly by a palm.

It turned out that Li Che's true self had returned.

After sending Xixi and the four children away from their training in the Lingnan Dao, Li Che's true self, with all speed, employed the Chess Saint Flying Stars, directly crossing back.

Whoosh—

Li Che spread his five fingers, took out the black-and-white divided Yama mask, slowly placed it upon his face, starlight flowing, his eyes profound.

Both the Sovereign avatar and its true body appeared within the encampment.

And Li Che's return, via the translocation of the Flying Thunder chess piece, appeared soundlessly beside the Sovereign avatar.

The Dragon-Elephant Diamond Dao fruit throbbed, the slumbering dragon-elephant fully restrained its aura.

At the same time.

A hundred li outside the imperial court's great army encampment.

Within the dense forest blanketed in pure white snow.

The horse-faced manifestation of the Painting Immortal's avatar descended soundlessly, eyes icy calm, five fingers spread.

A thunderous boom.

A half-step peerless mechanized beast, the Little Yinglong King, appeared beside him, its massive form instantly swelling within the forest, causing countless snowflakes to explode.

Upon the Little Yinglong King's back, metallic clangs rang out, the mechanisms vibrating.

Thereafter, the Guanyin Lotus Seat's main battle tank slowly rose, the compassionate-eyed Guanyin divine eagle, as if bearing sorrow for heaven and earth, pity for all things.

Besides that, the horse face also produced the Nameless Immortal Artisan's Super Electromagnetic Cannon.

Although compared to the Immortal Artisan Barrett's aim, it would be much worse, but with the aid of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, Horse Face's aim never needs to worry.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Golden lightning intertwined with black thunder constantly ravaged the surroundings; the black-gold Divine Thunder and the electromagnetic shell merged together!

One after another hovered around Horse Face's body, and Horse Face extended his five fingers.

He grabbed an electromagnetic shell shooting out Divine Thunder, single-handedly held the electromagnetic gun at an angle, with a click, and stuffed the slender, streamlined, water-drop-like bullet, intertwined and wrapped with black-gold lightning arcs, into it.

Then.

Suddenly rose up——

Beneath Horse Face, his pupils instantly wove black-and-white checkerboard lines; countless strands of hair floated up, whipping wildly behind him like a cape!

At the same time.

On the back of the Little Yinglong King, the Guanyin Sitting Lotus Main Battle Tank, with the Thousand Hands clicking, stacked up before him and slowly intertwined……

Then, the black-and-white extreme collapse avalanche lotus shell, with a click, was hooked by the Little Yinglong King's tail and pushed into the Guanyin Sitting Lotus Main Battle Tank.

The Thousand Hands aimed far off at the direction of the imperial army's camp!

Horse Face's electromagnetic gun barrel also aimed at the direction of the imperial army's camp!

Boom boom——!!!

Terrifying golden light burst forth, with countless arcs surging and roaring!

One large, one small—two beams of extreme brilliance instantly shattered the ring-like, circularly spreading Seven Lang, tearing through the air at extreme speed, dragging out thick and fine lines!

The sound rumbled, unable to keep up!

Fire from a hundred li away!

Kill——!!!

……

……

The night was utterly silent.

The sound of falling snow made this silence even more profound.

Suddenly.

The grand master on duty, his gaze narrowing, looked up and saw that on the horizon, extreme brilliance suddenly burst forth.

There was a black-gold thunder dragon, rampaging and roaring, baring fangs and claws, dancing wildly without cease!

Beside the black-gold thunder dragon hung an extreme blazing sun, so radiant that a single glance seemed capable of destroying one's eyes!

"That is……"

"Fast!"

"Too fast!"

At the instant the grand master's sentry's heart and spirit shuddered, he came to his senses.

His eyes showed terror.

He didn't even have time to issue a warning!

That black-gold thunder dragon, guarding a huge blazing golden lotus, swept across the heavens, as if tearing the night sky into a deeper, more profound abyss!

All-pervading currents were torn apart one after another!

◆ttkΛn◆co

It directly swept over the sentry grand master's head, swiftly charging toward the direction of the camp!

Target——

The national preceptor's command tent!

This sentry's eyes were about to burst!

Boom——!!!

At the same time.

A hundred li away, a terrifying explosive roar burst forth, like the sound of a meteorite striking the ground.

Inside the commander's tent.

National Preceptor Xie Yunshen was playing chess with a gaunt, emaciated old man—none other than the ancestral master of the Bashu Sword Pavilion, the Divine Tribulation grandmaster Gu Qiuqiu.

The two placed black and white stones on the board.

They were even chatting with each other.

"National Preceptor, you sent a message to His Majesty, requesting that the old dragon god of the Dragon God clan take action?"

"To have the old dragon god act, one naturally must pay some price…… these prices must be approved by His Majesty, and the old dragon god's aim is also to shift from the Eastern Sea to land."

"And this land is under His Majesty's jurisdiction; if the Dragon God clan wishes to come ashore, they naturally need His Majesty's approval."

Xie Yunshen smiled faintly, his black-and-white split hair fluttering.

He calmly watched the game.

This game actually holds no suspense; this Divine Tribulation grandmaster may be strong in cultivation, but his chess skill is merely average—which is normal, for longevity does not guarantee skill at chess.

Xie Yunshen looked at the board, at the dying great dragon, and gave a light smile.

He pinched a black stone from the box with two fingers.

Suddenly——

Xie Yunshen's pupils narrowed slightly.

A strong sense of danger made his hairs stand on end, and his blood seemed to freeze throughout his body.

Danger!

Someone wants to kill him!

They've come!

The Underworld… has finally taken action!

The Underworld, indeed, has come to assassinate!

Xie Yunshen took a deep breath.

He guessed it!

His guess was correct; these past days, he had been researching the Underworld's data, neglecting sleep and food, and he knew the Underworld… all too well!

And Gu Qianchi, who was playing chess, was unimpressed, smiling faintly: 'The Way of Mechanisms? A petty trick, mere child's play.'

Gu Qianchi's perception was immensely powerful; as a God Tribulation Grand Master, he grasped Dao Essence, linked with the will of heaven and earth, and his heaven-and-earth soul underwent a tremendous transformation.

He naturally sensed the terrifying black-gold thunder dragon and the huge blazing lotus shell speeding across from a hundred li away!

Pat—

A chess piece fell onto the board.

And Gu Qianqiu had already vanished from the spot.

Appearing above the command tent, his gaze locked onto the onrushing black-gold electromagnetic cannon shell and that huge blazing lotus shell.

Five fingers rose, the case flung open!

Space itself seemed to freeze solid at this moment.

Countless sword qi surged forth, clanging like a vast net woven together, blocking the two sniper attacks.

Hiss—

The electromagnetic cannon shell intertwined with black-gold godstorm thunder collided with the sword qi net; its tremendous impact seemed to dent the net deeply.

It was like a soccer ball kicked with all its might, slamming hard into the net, spinning at high speed, as if it wanted to tear the net apart!

Huh?

However, Gu Qianchi's expression suddenly changed slightly.

The lotus shell locked by his sword qi net had far less impact and penetration than the electromagnetic cannon shell.

But at this moment, it began to vibrate at an extremely terrifying speed!

Boom——!!!

The next moment, golden light blazed forth!

The extremely brilliant golden light completely illuminated the night, countless rays bursting forth, extremely dazzling, blinding in myriad ways!

A thunderous boom exploded instantly in the sky!

An extremely blooming mushroom cloud, engulfing terrifying heat, detonated in midair, the cloud spreading up and down, containing the power to destroy heaven and earth!

Having reached the LV6 rank of the Chess Saint's fruition, the power of the Great Avalanche and Black-White Extreme Collapse naturally increased tremendously.

Thus, the power of the Guanyin Lotus Shell had long surpassed anything from before!

Such an explosion, even a peerless martial warrior of the Four-Opening Martial Saint level would likely not withstand it, being blown to bits, suffering grave injuries near death!

The immensely huge mushroom cloud blossomed between heaven and earth.

Constantly rising, constantly falling!

Reaching heights of a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang!

Within a radius of a thousand li, everything could be seen with perfect clarity at this moment!

The entire imperial army's camp instantly fell into dead silence; everyone jerked their heads up, staring dumbfounded at this scene.

Everyone's mouths went dry, feeling only a chill all over.

If this lotus shell were truly allowed to fall, the entire imperial army…

Likely countless casualties would result!

Were it not for a God Tribulation powerhouse stationed in the army…

Perhaps a single lotus shell falling would leave corpses strewn across the field!

A weapon of war!

An utterly terrifying weapon of war!

Even Gu Qianchi, a God Tribulation Grand Master, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly…

What devilish mechanism is this?!

How could there be such a terrifying outbreak?!

How many years have passed since it last appeared, and mechanism techniques have developed to this extent?

With this, how can ordinary people wage war?

Throw down a few, and they could likely annihilate an army!

Gu Qianchi had not anticipated the power of this lotus shell's explosion; it would be this terrifying, of course, for him as a God Tribulation Grand Master, a single-body explosion would not affect him much.

But…

Now, within the army camp, the impact is not limited to him alone.

In fact, although the Guanyin Lotus Shell possesses the power to gravely injure a peerless martial warrior of the Four-Opening Martial Saint level, peerless powerhouses are not fools; they won't just stand there to be blown up!

They'll dodge, of course!

So, Gu Qianchi could see at a glance that this thing poses little threat to powerhouses individually, but in warfare…

Simply terrifying!

Gu Qianchi narrowed his eyes; originally intending to raise just one palm, after thinking, he raised both palms, countless sword qi surged forth, Dao Essence sweeping…

Space itself seemed to tremble and boil.

He must intercept this terrifying exploding mushroom lotus shell!

But Gu Qianchi's expression suddenly changed; his originally slightly narrowed eyes widened sharply, sword qi raging and clanging in his pupils, killing intent boiling!

Impudent!!!!

An angry shout burst from his mouth.

He turned his head in extreme anger, looking toward the tent where Xie Yunshen was!

He actually...

He hadn't sensed it; someone had silently infiltrated the tent's perimeter?!

As a Heaven-Earth Dao Soul of the Divine Tribulation Realm, how could he fail to sense it?!

What kind of breath-concealing method did the opponent use?!

Only a method that likewise contains Dao essence could conceal itself from his Divine Tribulation Heaven-Earth Dao Soul!

Inside the tent.

Xie Yunshen gazed at the sky above, where a huge mushroom cloud suddenly exploded, and shock surged in his eyes.

His heart sank slightly......

This mechanism technique......

Such a mechanism technique!

It feels even more threatening than the Tang clan's mechanism once did!

The Tang clan mechanism is already famed as a weapon of war, but compared to this mechanism possessing terrifying destructive power......

It's merely a minor sorcerer seeing a great sorcerer!

If, before each battle, strongmen entangle each other and then drop such a terrifying destructive device......

The war hasn't even begun, yet it might already be over!

Only a Grand Master and a Divine Primordial True Person could possibly survive such explosion's aftermath!

However, the explosion occurred, and it was blocked by Gu Qianzhe, this Divine Tribulation grand cultivator.

But......

Yet the mortal danger hanging over Xie Yunshen's body has not diminished in the slightest!

The terrifying threat still exists!

Even the hairs on his neck stand on end like divine spears!

Crisis......

The crisis has not been lifted!

Where......

Where is it!!!

His Grand Master's personal blade-wielding guard, Ning An, had already drawn his long saber, his qi and blood intertwined, he fiercely scanned all directions.

Suddenly.

Thirty zhang away.

A black shadow appeared.

Xie Yunshen's gaze locked onto it!

Ning An also looked over sharply.

A cute cow mask instantly appeared in their eyes, like a demon!

Thirty zhang... that is the limit distance Li Che judged, at which the sleeping elephant aspect of the Dragon-Elephant Golden Diamond Dao Fruit can conceal itself from a Divine Tribulation grand cultivator's perception!

But, thirty zhang...

To experts of their level, it's as good as nothing!

Boom——!!!

Under the watchful eyes of Ning An and Xie Yunshen, the black clothing on the ox demon suddenly burst open, revealing a terrifying bronzed physique full of knotted muscles!

Like a pressure cooker's whistle, scorching heat surged wildly!

His whole body had already shattered the air; a single step forward shattered countless air waves, appearing instantly before the tent!

"National Teacher, be careful!!!!"

The roar of anger came from the mouth of guard Ning An.

National Teacher Xie Yunshen, meanwhile, retreated a step with a pallid face!

Sure enough, it's the assassination style of the Underworld; the assassination rhythm must be one link tightly after another!

Not only that......

The Underworld surely has another move!

What is it?!

At this moment, National Teacher Xie Yunshen's mind was racing!

And the ox demon had already appeared before Ning An.

Boom——!!!

Terrifying gangqi raged and intertwined; in the next moment, a vast golden pool of ten-thousand-zhang qi sea appeared, and terrifying mountains rose from the ground, their tops unseen!

Bang——!!!

Ning An only felt a mountain-like pressure slam into him with a boom!

It was merely a brief encounter.

Ning An's pores all over his body could not bear the burden, spewing out countless fresh blood, bursting into a hazy blood mist.

He almost knelt on the ground, unable to move.

Three Open Martial Saint!

This Ox Demon...

It is actually the Three Open Martial Saint, the Martial Saint of the Mountain Path!

But, Ning An instantly bit his own tongue, his eyes blood-red, his body covered in blood, and he actually relied on sheer willpower to break free of the Ox Demon's Heaven-Man Resonance Pressure!

Roaring, unyielding, never retreating...

Swing the blade!

«National Teacher, flee quickly!!! »

Bang—

The Ox Demon's ruthless punch swept over, like a Dragon Elephant's sortie, fierce and rolling, instantly blasting Ning An to pieces, his flesh flying apart, blood mist swirling!

A very loyal guard.

Xie Yunshen's eyes were full of pain; he kept retreating, unaware, until his back hit the top of the tent.

The Ox Demon's punch blasted the guard Ning An to pieces; the punch carried a terrifying aura, and the fierce Gang Qi surged out, shattering almost everything inside the tent into dust.

Originally, the aftershock of that Gang Qi could have killed the weakly cultivated Xie Yunshen.

However, Xie Yunshen's body burst forth with the light of the Guardian Divine Weapon, a protective shield circulating, blocking the slaughter for him!

Therefore, the Ox Demon had to smash that shield to pieces before he could kill Xie Yunshen!

Boom——!!!

Suddenly.

Space tore open.

Accompanied by a cough.

The terrifying Divine Tribulation pressure, like a huge wave surging heavenward, intertwined and raged, as if the pillars holding up the sky were collapsing and shattering.

Second Divine Tribulation Grand Master!

Dragon Tiger Divine Sect's Founding Master, Zhao Beidou!

«Assassination? »

«The Underworld…… This is utterly not putting me and Gu Jianshen in his eyes. »

«Carrying out an assassination under the noses of two Divine Tribulation experts? »

«Ridiculous. »

Zhao Beidou's five fingers spread; in an instant, heaven and earth seemed to congeal, a cluster of eerie white White Nether Tribulation Fire roaring, and it transformed into a sinister hand, wanting to slap the Three Open Martial Saint's Ox Demon to death with one palm!

However——

Beneath the Ox Demon's mask, his eyes were as still as an ancient well.

Seeing Zhao Beidou appear, he felt no fear at all.

«I've been waiting for you. »

The words fell.

The Heaven-Earth Chessboard trembled; the Ox Demon actually flickered and vanished from the spot!

Exactly——

Using the Heaven-Earth Chessboard as an anchor, the Chess Sage places a piece; within heaven and earth, I can roam freely!

Like a flash, he blinked past the Great Tribulation Fire Hand.

He appeared before Zhao Beidou, who had just slowly stepped out of the spatial rift.

Rumble——

The gate of Mo City Fengdu suddenly appeared!

Instantly enveloping Zhao Beidou……

The Ox Demon charged forward, striking the defense formed by Zhao Beidou's intertwining divine nature raging around him.

Directly slamming this Divine Tribulation Grand Master into Mo City.

Inside the tent.

Xie Yunshen's eyes narrowed, his five fingers suddenly clenched.

Killer intent——

Even more terrifying killer intent!

It raged and poured forth!

Making Xie Yunshen……

His cloth clothing clung tightly to his body.

Because——

Thirty zhang away.

The Underworld's King of Hell wore a black-and-white split mask.

He gazed at him gloomily.

Youyou looked at him.
