Wang Yu
Chapter 931: A Sudden Turn of Events
"Daring to block our path, they must be tired of living!"
"Humph, with City Lords E Kui and Sha Xin here, we can kill however many come!"
"Wait, why does this thing look a bit familiar..."
The crowd on the airship watched the eight enormous heads that suddenly appeared around them. Before they could recover from their shock, they started clamoring.
"City Lord E, should we..."
With E Kui and Sha Xin having previously annihilated one of these scaled beasts with lightning speed, the crowd wasn't too alarmed. Some even looked towards E Kui, waiting for his signal.
However, neither E Kui nor Sha Xin spoke, nor did they seem to have any intention of attacking.
Below them, the four city lords, Chen Yang and the others, as well as Zhuo Ge and his men under Sha Xin, were all on high alert, their eyes constantly scanning the hideous heads around them.
This scene caught Han Li's eye, causing his pupils to contract for no reason, and a sense of foreboding surged into his heart.
Just then, with a roar, another head emerged from behind the airship.
However, this head was much smaller than the others, covered with a layer of white film, as if it had just grown out, and there was a distinct dark red mark below its neck.
It was actually the one that had been beheaded by E Kui earlier!
"Not good... this is a Jiu Qi Jiaolong..." E Kui suddenly realized, and exclaimed in alarm.
Han Li's expression also changed upon hearing this.
He had long heard of the Jiu Qi Jiaolong's notoriety, but most of it was from legends that were no longer verifiable, and he had never seen one.
According to legend, this creature had a body like a giant elephant, a neck as long as a python, and nine heads with one mouth, capable of swallowing all things. It was inherently ferocious, and to kill it, all nine heads had to be severed at the same time, otherwise it would constantly regenerate its heads and would never truly be destroyed.
And saying that it had one mouth didn't mean that only one of its nine heads had a mouth, but rather that it had a Taotie giant mouth on its back that could devour all things, somewhat similar to Pixiu Xiaobai.
Just then, the nine heads of the Jiu Qi Jiaolong raised simultaneously and struck down at the Star Falcon airship from all directions.
In an instant, the nine heads obscured the sky, and the roars rose one after another, even blocking the starlight falling from the high sky.
The Star Falcon airship trembled violently, and the star curtain enveloping it began to become increasingly thin.
"It's over..." Feng Wuchen looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.
The expressions of the others were even more unsightly, and they were almost all thinking the same thing at this moment.
E Kui and Sha Xin naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for death. They looked at each other and simultaneously stepped on the airship, their figures soaring up and rushing towards the nine-headed giant Jiaolong.
The void vibrated, and the space seemed to be about to shatter.
The black veil on Sha Xin's face fluttered wildly in the strong wind, vaguely revealing an extremely beautiful face. However, her expression was solemn, her eyes were like water, and with a wave of her hands, two round balls flew out simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right.
One of them had a surface that was dazzlingly white, and under the waves of intense star power, a huge figure a hundred feet tall emerged from it.
The hundred-foot figure wore a treasure-encrusted purple-gold crown, wore a colorful golden scale armor, and had a ferocious Vajra face. Its whole body seemed to be cast in copper and iron, reflecting layers of metallic light.
After the Armored Vajra appeared, it reached out and grabbed in the void. The other round bead also lit up with a snow-bright light. With a flick of its wrist, it transformed into a giant silver umbrella and landed in its hand.
Although Han Li was on the airship, he could still feel the immense aura emanating from the Armored Vajra, which gave him a feeling that it was not inferior to E Kui at all, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He took a deep breath and focused his eyes. He saw Sha Xin twisting her body in mid-air, her fingers fluttering in the void, and the Vajra giant grabbed the umbrella handle with one hand and propped it up.
The snow-white light of the umbrella soared, turning into an enormous umbrella surface that blocked the sky in the high sky.
On the umbrella surface, there seemed to be ten thousand stars painted, with starlight flowing through them, as if a heavenly river was reflected.
All the stars on the umbrella seemed to be connected to the stars in the night sky, borrowing endless star power from them to meet the nine evil Jiaolong heads.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of rapid and torrential blows fell on the star umbrella surface.
The white light on the umbrella vibrated violently, and the star patterns painted on it disappeared one after another like smoke.
The Vajra giant's eyes narrowed, and its face was distorted by the force, but it still didn't let go, holding on tightly.
"Fellow Daoist Sha Xin, let me do it!"
E Kui had also caught up at this time. His profound orifices were lit up, and his body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blurred starlight. He punched towards the end of the umbrella handle.
Just then, another change occurred below.
In the black vortex, the mist churned violently, and the Jiu Qi Jiaolong's body actually floated up.
Its back was so wide that it almost occupied the entire eye of the hurricane. It was covered with dense rhomboid scales, and there was a shallow vertical mark on its back.
"Truly, man's plans are no match for heaven's. It still came..." Madam Six Flowers said with a gloomy face, muttering to herself.
"Father, what is this..." Gu Qianxun frowned and asked.
"No matter what happens later, don't leave my side." Madam Six Flowers did not answer, but turned to look at her and earnestly exhorted her.
Before Gu Qianxun could agree, a huge roar suddenly came from below.
"Aww..."
This roar was like a volcanic eruption, deafening everyone and making their heads dizzy.
With Han Li's Refinement Art in operation, his divine soul only shook slightly before stabilizing again. When he looked at the others, he found that everyone around him except Madam Six Flowers was swaying and unable to stand still.
Madam Six Flowers held Gu Qianxun's shoulders with one hand to help her stabilize her divine soul. She looked at Han Li's side with a look of surprise and couldn't help but praise, "Your kid's divine soul is so stable..."
"Senior, now is not the time to say this..." Han Li said casually, but his eyes looked towards the bow of the ship.
Shi Chuan Kong and the black-skirted woman were now kneeling on the ground, and their situation was only slightly better than the others.
Just as he was about to step forward to check, he suddenly felt his feet empty, and his body involuntarily fell downwards.
The Star Falcon airship had completely lost control and was also falling rapidly.
On the back of the Jiu Qi Jiaolong below, a huge blood-red mouth that could swallow the sky had already been opened, with black light churning inside, waiting for all the prey to fall into it.
In a moment of urgency, Han Li lit up the profound orifices on his legs, and the power of the stars burst out from the soles of his feet, making a "bang" sound. His figure borrowed strength to fly up a few feet, but was soon pulled down by the tearing force below and continued to fall.
Screams continued to ring out around him, and there was chaos. Everyone was trying to escape, but it was all to no avail.
E Kui and Sha Xin, who were above, also noticed the changes below and wanted to return to help, but it was already too late.
"Rumble..."
A roar exploded, and the tail of the Star Falcon airship had fallen into the giant mouth on the back of the Jiu Qi Jiaolong. It was instantly crushed by the strange power contained within, making bursts of collapsing and shattering sounds.
"No..."
Desperate shouts came from all around. Han Li frowned, but his heart was calm to the extreme.
He raised his hand and groped in his arms, took out the jade pendant in the shape of a leaf, held it in his palm, and turned his eyes to search around, wanting to find Shi Chuan Kong and the black-skirted woman.
The jade pendant was none other than the marking token that the Third Prince Shi Po Kong had given him before they entered this Scale Accumulation Void Realm. As long as he had this thing in hand, he would have a chance to bring them back to the Demon Realm.
However, after searching around, he couldn't see Shi Chuan Kong's figure. Instead, he saw Crab Daoren was a hundred feet away.
"Fellow Daoist Crab, come here quickly..." Seeing that the Jiu Qi Jiaolong's giant mouth was getting closer and closer, Han Li was anxious and sent a voice transmission. But he didn't care whether Crab Daoren would follow him.
Just then, he turned his eyes and saw the black-skirted woman from Puppet City not far behind him. So he quickly urged the Yu Hua Flying Ascension Art, stepped on the void with his feet, and flew towards her against the pulling force.
Thirty feet, twenty feet, ten feet...
The closer the two were, the stronger the fluctuations in Han Li's heart became.
Zi Ling, is it really you?
Just as Han Li's palm was about to grab the black-skirted woman's arm, Madam Six Flowers' voice suddenly came from his mind:
"Li kid, drill into the largest space crack later. Don't die!"
Han Li was shocked and suddenly looked back.
He saw Madam Six Flowers standing outside the Jiu Qi Jiaolong's giant mouth a hundred feet below. With a wave of her hand, a palm-sized white disc flew out and landed in the center of the bloody mouth, exploding with a bang.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of huge explosions sounded, and the Jiu Qi Jiaolong's mouth suddenly "clicked". The entire space shattered like a mirror, and huge space cracks emerged from it, extending in all directions.
A powerful tearing force shattered from these newly appeared space cracks. Many people from the Black Wasteland and Xuan Kui Cities did not have time to react and were pulled in.
Those who were lucky fell into the cracks with their bodies intact, while those who were unlucky were instantly torn into pieces.
Han Li was startled and leaped forward, wanting to grab the black-skirted woman.
However, a space crack happened to appear in front of them, crashing into Han Li and swallowing him.
As soon as Han Li entered the dark space, he felt a powerful tearing force sweeping in from all directions, causing his whole body to spin around.
All sounds gradually faded away, and all light went out in an instant.
Han Li only felt a splitting headache, and his consciousness gradually blurred. The last thing that appeared in his mind was the figure of the black-skirted woman.
But her veiled face seemed to be merging with Zi Ling little by little...
