Chapter 156: Suppressing the Peerless Li Qiushui

Above Taohuadao, wind and clouds churned violently.

On one side was a black flood dragon, fifty meters long, with a single horn on its head, four claws on its belly, covered entirely in pitch-black scales, radiating a terrifying pressure capable of destroying heaven and earth.

On the other side stood a peerlessly beautiful woman in magnificent palace robes, her face stunning, yet carrying an indescribable, eerie, and ruthless aura.

The two faced each other in mid-air; the terrifying momentum they radiated clashed fiercely in the sky, causing winds to swirl, clouds to surge, and waves to roar!

The entire Taohuadao seemed to tremble under the pressure of these two forces, each capable of destroying heaven and earth!

Below, the onlookers watched this sudden scene, all stunned, their hearts filled with unbelievable shock!

"This... who is this woman?!"

Wang Chongyang, the Middle Divine Ability, frowned tightly, his eyes filled with solemnity and confusion.

He could clearly feel that the palace-robed woman who had suddenly appeared before him possessed strength even greater than his own!

Vaguely, she had reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, even touching the terrifying threshold of the Earth Immortal!

Such a figure could never be unknown in the Jianghu!

Yet he searched his memory in vain, unable to recall when such a peerless and powerful female Grandmaster had ever appeared.

Moreover, judging by her stance facing the black flood dragon, she clearly came with ill intent!

He immediately realized he had probably... been used as a pawn!

Someone had taken the opportunity of his arrival at Taohuadao to lie in ambush secretly, with other designs!

Wang Yuyan looked at the stunning face of the palace-robed woman in mid-air, yet a indescribable sense of panic and familiarity inexplicably rose in her heart.

She felt that the woman's eyebrows and eyes bore a startling resemblance to her own, to her grandmother Li Li Qingluo, and even to the portrait of her mother, Lady Wang!

Could it be... could she be...

And above Taohuadao.

Brother Ning Chuan's pale golden dragon eyes gazed coldly at the palace-robed woman before him, his voice devoid of any emotion:

"Li Qiushui?"

"Why do you not stay hidden in your Xixia Imperial Palace, enjoying your quiet bliss, but dare to come to my Taohuadao to seek death?"

Previously, within Wang Yuyan's memories, and from various Jianghu secrets, he had already learned of the grudges and entanglements between the Xiaoyao Sect, Li Qiushui, the Tianshan Child, and Wu Yazi.

Combined with his understanding of the plot from his past life, he knew about seventy or eighty percent of it.

Hearing Brother Ning Chuan reveal her identity in one breath, the beautiful eyes of Li Qiushui, which had originally held a hint of mockery and inquiry, instantly flashed with an unmistakable shock and solemnity!

"You... you actually know my identity?!"

She considered her actions secret; those in the Jianghu who knew her true identity could be counted on one's fingers!

How did this mysterious flood dragon before her find out?!

Brother Ning Chuan snorted coldly, his voice like ten-thousand-year-old ice:

"This Seat not only knows you are Li Qiushui, but also knows the old matters of your Xiaoyao Sect."

"Today, I shall settle the score with you for your Xixia Yipintang's repeated offenses against my Taohuadao!"

Before his words had even finished, his enormous flood dragon body moved suddenly!

A torrent of demonic energy, several times more terrifying than when he suppressed Southern Murong Bo, erupted from within his body!

His massive tail, covered in hard scales and shimmering with a dark-gold luster, like a divine whip that split open heaven and earth, swept fiercely toward Li Qiushui with a terrifying momentum capable of tearing the void and shaking down the ages!

This strike shook heaven and earth!

It seemed as if it would whip the entire firmament apart!

Li Qiushui felt the terrifying power rushing toward her, enough to make even her feel heart-shivering fear.

Her expression changed abruptly!

She dared not be the slightest bit negligent; the Northern Dark Divine Art and the Formless Art within her body both operated to their utmost!

Streams of pure true qi, yet carrying a hint of sinister coldness and eeriness, surged wildly from her body, condensing before her into layers of indestructible true qi barriers!

At the same time, she formed hand seals with both hands, unleashing the supreme art of the Xiaoyao Sect—the Tianshan Six Yang Palm!

Palm prints, scorching hot as if capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, met Brother Ning Chuan's heaven-destroying strike!

Boom-boom-boom!!!

The dragon tail and the palm prints collided fiercely in mid-air!

A terrifying energy storm, like a nuclear explosion, erupted!

The entire sky seemed to be torn apart!

Countless clouds were instantly scattered!

The sea surface below rose up with towering waves hundreds of feet high!

Had Brother Ning Chuan not, while striking, also diverted a portion of his demonic energy to protect the Taohuadao below.

The mere aftermath of this single clash would have been enough to flatten half of Taohuadao!

"Pfft!"

Li Qiushui let out a muffled groan; her figure, like a paper kite with a broken string, flew uncontrollably backward for dozens of zhang!
