Chapter 1166: Thunder Makes Sound
"The Jianghuai Demon Kings have gone south, and Peng Ze and East Sea have also moved. I don't understand, how can Peng Ze be involved? That old tortoise clearly doesn't ask about worldly affairs... Eh, they're fighting, they're fighting! Five against one, there's hope now. I think they can fight, they can win!"
"You probably forgot, back then at the birthday banquet of Xu Xu Rongguang, the retired Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices of the Xu family in Huangzhou, didn't the Marquis of Baron Xingyi send a scale from when the old tortoise was young? What a good omen. Could that thing have been picked up? They hooked up early on."
"The Flood Dragon is splitting its body."
"Damn it, the monkey ran! Five against one and they can't win? Can they play? Can they do things? That's my grocery money for today."
"Haha, quick, quick, hurry up, pay up, pay up! Admit defeat if you lose, admit defeat if you lose! Two taels of silver per person, official silver, don't use some miscellaneous silver to fool me."
Cling-clang, broken silver fell into the bag.
Spitting out the melon seed shells in his mouth, Lan Lan Jicai tied the bag, weighed the yellow leather bag, grabbed a handful of roasted peanuts, and sat back on the stool happily.
The officials of the Imperial Observatory complained a few times, and their eyes fell back on the Four Wilds Heaven Instrument.
The ground was pure copper, and the roof was wide open.
The concentric copper rings slowly intersected and rotated, connecting the stars in the sky, weaving a phantom, three-dimensional, colorful starry sky from the center of the sphere.
More than a dozen clerks held booklets and recorded them carefully.
Above the starry sky, the pale green light spots that were originally scattered like stars and evenly distributed moved a small half, tending to both sides, concentrating north and south like moths to a flame, forming two eye-catching light bands.
The ones in the north were arranged in two rows, neatly matched, with no surprises.
The liveliest was still the Southern Frontier. First, two light spots gathered together, almost overlapping, entangled, intimate, and in the blink of an eye, a new one appeared in the middle, and then one dimmed. Immediately, the light spots all over the world shook.
The light spots of Jianghuai ran out in a swarm.
In the Heaven Instrument, the Huai River was a blue long line in the middle. The Jianghuai Great Marsh at the end of the downstream had always been lively, but now it was suddenly empty, with only one bright spot in the north.
The Southern Frontier went north in a swarm, and the Northern Court went south in a swarm.
A liveliness not seen in decades.
What about the instigator?
Dragging the Flood Dragon, just wandering around the hinterland of the Southern Frontier. Lan Lan Jicai could imagine the thoughts of the Southern Frontier Tusi. It was definitely like two cockroaches appearing in the house, running around everywhere, disgusting people wherever they went, but never flying to the door.
The Jianghuai Demon Kings arrived at the Southern Frontier, and the two light spots turned their direction, leaving the hinterland. The White Ape ran to the front line to join the four Kings to resist the Flood Dragon.
Five against one, thinking there was hope to take it down directly, the officials of the Imperial Observatory started betting. Although this matter was not serious, Lan Lan Jicai said that even if it was serious, it wouldn't help the front line, so let's be happy for a while.
The result was obvious.
The White Ape and the Sea-Hai Fangzhu overlapped into one, the Flood Dragon split into two, fighting on both sides, and the battlefield split directly.
It was as if the number of Heavenly Dragons in the world always had to be symmetrical.
The White Ape appeared, Pan Dong fell, the Sea-Hai Fangzhu overlapped with the White Ape into one, the Flood Dragon split into two, and until now, at first glance, there were no more or fewer light spots.
Three Kings were restrained, but the Flood Dragon's strength did not decrease much, forcing the White Ape to flee again. Therefore, the Southern Frontier old Tusi, who had just seen the "cockroach" fly to the windowsill, didn't relax, the two things made a feint, and spread their wings to come home again.
"Crack."
Lan Lan Jicai crushed a peanut shell and sucked it into his mouth: "You guys don't think about it, how long has the Flood Dragon occupied the Dragon Palace? There are so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Dragon Palace treasury, and even more true dragon legacies. It was already a Demon King perfection early on. Besides practicing techniques, it couldn't advance on the path. It was just missing the matter of 'walking the water'. Its realm was high and powerful, and it broke out from the sea with real swords and guns.
Look at the other five, the Frog King with powerful attack has a low realm, the Tortoise King with a high realm has no powerful attack, and then there is General Yuan, whose realm cannot be said, it is not easy to match, relying on holding back. Look at the appearance of these light spots, always half a beat slow, and stopping in the middle of the Southern Frontier, a goods that is indecisive.
Not to mention the Sea-Hai Fangzhu, a merchant demon, does she have time to practice techniques? And she's a female. It's just that she merged with the White Ape that made me look highly at her, otherwise she's just here to make up the numbers."
"According to Mr. Lan's meaning, the White Ape exhausted its efforts to call four Demon Kings to set up the game, but it's actually useless? Still going to die? It was reborn once, I don't think there will be a second time, right?"
"Useful, how can it be useless." Lan Lan Jicai pursed his lips, "Look, originally the monkey could only escape with its bare bottom, now it has the Sea-Hai Fangzhu, wearing a split-crotch pants, and the Flood Dragon is weakened. One up and one down, one increase and one decrease, can't it fight while fleeing?"
"..."
"Lord Lan, the White Ape's failure is unfavorable to our Great Shun's national situation."
"What are you panicking about? Even if the White Ape is ambitious but lacks talent, isn't there Liang Qu? One person and one demon wearing the same pair of pants, the smell is strong. That kid is ghost-smart, he definitely won't put all his eggs in one basket, he definitely won't rely solely on pulling four Kings to deal with the Flood Dragon."
"..."
The officials present looked at each other.
"It makes sense. Mr. Lan, you are close to His Majesty, you know more than us. What is the relationship between this White Ape and the Marquis of Baron Xingyi?"
"I'm not the roundworm in their belly, how would I know." Lan Lan Jicai rolled his eyes, crossed his legs and shook his toes, "At least it's some kind of fruit connection. At least as far as I know, there is a kind of fruit called 'Wind-Born'."
"What is Wind-Born?"
"Wind-Born is an ancient beast, invulnerable to water and fire, oil and salt. If you beat it with a stick, it will turn into a tube of empty beast skin. When you throw it away in disappointment, once wind enters its mouth, it will immediately revive.
I think there are similarities between the two. It should be that Liang Qu is not dead, so the White Ape is not dead, and vice versa. As for which is which, I don't know."
"One life for human and demon?"
"Not guaranteed, just guessing."
Everyone was stunned.
"It's up again." Someone pointed.
Lan Lan Jicai looked up.
Except for the light band, there were still stars in the Southern Frontier, even more than on the front line, but they were all stable and motionless. Only two flickered and jumped, running around everywhere. After that, the leading light spot turned sharply and rushed straight to the South Sea.
The lagging light spot seemed to react, jumping and flashing one step ahead, seemingly having done something, actually directly cutting off and blocking. The two sides no longer "shuttled", but moved in continuous lines.
"The White Ape is going to the Huai River! But it was seen through by the Flood Dragon, and it used some supernatural power to drag it!"
Everyone was knowledgeable, and the situation was clear at a glance.
The Flood Dragon deliberately obstructed, the White Ape's advance was extremely difficult, far less fast than in the Southern Frontier. The three Kings on the second battlefield seemed to see the situation and also turned their direction, attempting to approach and create opportunities for the White Ape.
"Damn!"
Lan Lan Jicai and others were startled and looked back angrily.
"What are you screaming for? You scared me!"
"Dragon, dragon, dragon!" The person who shouted pointed above the starry sky, stuttering.
"Damn, dragon, dragon, dragon, what's wrong with the dragon, haven't you seen a dragon? What's wrong with the Flood Dragon?"
"It's not the Flood Dragon." The person who shouted slapped his thigh hard, breaking the stuttering in pain, "Northern Court White Dragon King, Northern Court White Dragon King has moved!"
The gloomy wind roared, and the turbid waves rushed to the shore.
Red soil scattered in layers, dyeing the river into a blood river.
"That kid is preparing to run away! Leaving us here to fight to the death with the Flood Dragon! Let's break up while the outcome is not decided." General Yuan chattered.
The West Water Tortoise King lowered his head and scolded: "You little tortoise, don't talk nonsense here and disturb the morale!"
"Pfft."
The Frog King didn't speak, just waved the great anchor.
Pfft!
The White Ape was hit, flew out of the South Sea, took the opportunity to turn over and go north. The Flood Dragon spun and attacked. The monkey's five toes were like hands, both feet supported the opening and closing dragon kiss, against the gale, the White Ape jumped and rushed, falling back into the sea.
"Damn, what move is that?"
Bubbles floated chaotically. Liang Qu tried to use 【Water Travel a Thousand Miles】, but found it couldn't be used at all. After rushing into the South Sea, the Flood Dragon didn't know what method it used to "ban" it and its own shuttle supernatural power together, so it could only use the most primitive method to go north.
Behind it, 【Turbulent Flow】 also had no way to slow down the Flood Dragon's pace. Martial Saints and Demon Kings walked in the void, and didn't need any buoyancy or borrowing force at all. The "flush toilet" completely failed.
Why didn't it use it early or late, but only in the sea?
"Can the Tortoise King and Frog King hold on?"
Liang Qu's perception spread, constantly paying attention to the rear.
With the Sea-Hai Fangzhu's blessing and 【Divine Might】 deterrence, the Flood Dragon's attacks, except for the venom, mostly couldn't cause effective damage. Although slow, it could still go north. The key was the three Kings without 【Divine Might】 suppression.
Must get rid of the Flood Dragon as soon as possible and drill into the 【Vortex Escape Path】 with Profound Yellow Qi!
Pondering the plan, the White Ape suddenly turned back to the Southern Frontier, the Flood Dragon felt relieved in its heart and wanted to chase and attack.
The river wind stopped.
White Ape, Flood Dragon, West Water Tortoise King, Peng Ze Tortoise King, Frog King, Great Shamans, Martial Saints... all the Heavenly Dragons in the world looked north.
In the distant, icy E River, dragon claws tore through the water flow, stepped on the high steps, a long dragon, entirely jade white, swam out of the Dragon Palace, suddenly went east, entered the sea and went south.
"!!!"
"???"
The Northern Court Khan was dumbfounded.
The Southern Frontier Great Shamans were sweating profusely.
"KILL KILL KILL!" General Yuan suddenly fought hard, carrying the momentum of Shou Mountain, actually suppressing the Flood Dragon for a moment. "This kind of crooked evil way, the culprit who harmed the old Dragon Lord, I will not shirk! Even if I die today, I must repay the gift of the old Dragon Lord's essence blood!"
Damn it, you invited the Northern Court Dragon King to help, why didn't you say so earlier? Acting here for half a day.
"Eh, why is it quiet." The old toad scratched its frog head.
"A-Fei, E River Dragon King went south, the situation is unknown, tell Frog Duke not to relax his vigilance!"
Inside the Vortex Palace, receiving the spiritual link, the fat catfish's eyes changed, becoming bright and shining. It had the old toad on its head, suddenly stood up, its fins grabbed the little Mirage Dragon, pointed at the nose and mocked the eunuch for ruining the country, held the "cannot move" shoulder, patted its own chest, pointed at the round head, good at being a fish teacher, and let the fist serve tea and water and beat the back.
Liang Qu knew the situation in the Vortex Palace like the back of his hand, and was shocked.
"Did you call the E River Dragon King?"
The fat catfish's whiskers poked each other.
"What do you mean it's not considered calling?"
Liang Qu didn't have time to ask clearly, but he soon understood.
The White Dragon King entered the sea and went south, the Flood Dragon suddenly shook off the three Kings and the White Ape, and turned north urgently.
Space changed again. Liang Qu found that he could use 【Water Travel a Thousand Miles】 again. He followed the Flood Dragon with a few shuttles, but in the situation of turmoil, in a situation that no one expected, the White Dragon King who entered the sea made a sharp turn, swam upstream, and returned home.
Everything was like a hallucination.
Returned home!?
Everyone and demons were shocked.
The Southern Frontier Great Shamans and Great Shun Martial Saints stopped fighting, and the Northern Court and Great Shun battlefields were silent at the same time.
This... what is the White Dragon King doing?
A feint?
The Flood Dragon stood still in the sea.
Liang Qu's inspiration flashed.
"Frog Duke!!!"
"Advance a thousand miles, three times! To the left, half a time!"
Boom!
The White Ape disappeared suddenly, seawater squeezed and filled, and in an instant it exceeded the stunned Flood Dragon.
"ROAR!!!"
The Flood Dragon roared and split again, chasing north.
The three Kings fell into a bitter battle again.
A missed opportunity, the Flood Dragon and White Ape left the South Sea and crossed straight to the East Sea.
Water flow pushed aside, the Flood Dragon was close at hand, the fishy wind hit his face, Liang Qu prepared to be forbidden from shuttling again.
Water flow rolled back, flashing another thousand miles.
One-time means?
Liang Qu's thoughts changed, he turned around and punched, smashing the Flood Dragon back. A hundred-zhang seawater formed a spherical vacuum, completely confirmed.
Banning shuttling was not a move that could be used arbitrarily.
RUN!
Old Toad fired at full power.
Two light spots "shook their spirits again", and under the gaze of countless high-level eyes, one after another, they blasted open the gate of Jianghuai.
"Mr. Lan, what is the White Ape going to do? Why did it go back?"
"I don't know, but Jianghuai must have a turning point." Lan Lan Jicai stared at the starry sky, eating melon seeds at a fast speed.
"Is the White Ape going to the Dragon Palace to steal the true dragon legacy?"
"Impossible, let alone moving, the White Ape can't even get close. Look, the Northern Fish King has moved! It's going to the Dragon Palace!"
"The White Ape and Flood Dragon's space shuttle is gone again! It's become a solid line, no, the Flood Dragon's is still there, it's a dotted line! The White Ape is restricted, is it the Flood Dragon's means?"
Boom!
The White Ape was pumped up and down by the dragon tail, turning into a ball.
The moves used on Pan Dong just now all fell on himself.
Entering Jianghuai, 【Water Travel a Thousand Miles】 failed again. The situation was different from the sea. At that time, both failed, this time only he was restricted.
Is it a difference in favor?
"It's over, it's over, the White Dragon King has gone back, hurry up and break up, save a life!" General Yuan shouted, paddling back to escape, "The monkey has that shuttle ability, and it can still escape and steal, shaking off the Iron-Headed Fish. Now it's gone, how can it break through the blockade of the two great Demon Kings?"
The Tortoise King and Frog King were silent.
"Little Water, what should we do? The Iron-Headed Fish King has at least ten tiers, we can't get into the Dragon Palace."
"Who said we want to get into the Dragon Palace? Even without the Iron-Headed Fish, the Dragon Palace has been assimilated by the Flood Dragon for decades, it's a net of heaven and earth, a bad move."
Bang!
Hit by the dragon tail again, the White Ape squeezed the Huai water, tore out a vacuum zone, blasted into the riverbed, mud and sand rose, and was pulled by the back-squeezing water flow, intersecting and burying.
The Sea-Hai Fangzhu was anxious and confused: "Not going to the Dragon Palace, then what are we doing in Jianghuai? The three Kings are in the Southern Frontier, and there is no support in case of an accident."
"Hai Fangzhu, you don't know, I become stronger, my 'water shell' will also become stronger."
"But how do you become stronger now? There's no time."
"Ha, it won't take too long." The White Ape rushed out of the riverbed, brown-yellow mud and hair drifted down, spat out a mouthful of blood foam and grinned, "Strengthen my masseter muscle."
"What?"
The Flood Dragon attacked, biting from behind.
The White Ape suddenly turned sideways, avoided it by wandering around the six voids, backhanded and hooked the dragon scales, strangled the dragon body, opened its canine teeth wide.
Crack!
Half of the canine teeth collapsed, dragon blood soaked the gums.
Swish.
The Flood Dragon flashed and disappeared, leaving only bubbles floating up, falling a hundred zhang away, confirming that it was not poisoned, and looked at the White Ape with suspicion.
"Gulp."
Dragon blood mixed with its own tooth blood swallowed into its belly, the White Ape glared at the Flood Dragon fiercely.
Thumb pressed against half of the nostril.
Pfft.
Riverbed mud mixed with water arrows sprayed, circling into a dragon.
"Transform into a rainbow, melt into a furnace, perfect form into a palace...
Knocking on the Heavenly Pass is to violently open one's own 'Heavenly Palace', leaping from three-dimensional to dimension, turning into a 'hand' that rushes out! Or a 'horn'!
'Horn' masters great authority, can change into a place of heaven and earth, borrow a place of heaven and earth, integrate other authorities, and can create a small world with certain characteristics!
Looking at the Heavenly Pass from the side, the pavilion road is even more distant..."
"I want to... overturn the river... and overturn the sea!"
The White Ape roared, opened its arms wide, and hugged violently.
The Vortex Palace was fully opened, all vortex water and essence water poured out, mixed with Jianghuai water, torrents rolling.
"AH!!! GIVE IT TO ME!!!"
The Ze Tripod trembled.
【Water Ze Essence +124】
【Water Ze Essence:】
【Stretching across the great river, shining like the sun】
【River governance degree: 0.6】
Southern Zhili.
Awakening of Insects Day, thunder and rain, Cold Mountain Temple outside the city was shrouded in water mist.
The bluestone slabs on the street were covered with a layer of glistening water light. Iron-shod horse hooves stepped over, splashing mud and water in the gaps. The foot shop owner took a stick, picked down the sign, prepared to close the door and stop business. After falling halfway, he moved to the side, opened his vision, and slowly raised his neck.
"Patter."
The shop owner stepped back, half of his heel sank into a puddle.
Pavilions and towers, eaves flying, clouds and mist ethereal.
Pedestrians looked up.
Only to see a water column, rising into the sky, straight into the clouds. ===== CHAPTER 1167 =====
