342: Chapter 75: The Power to Decide Life and Death_2 342: Chapter 75: The Power to Decide Life and Death_2 With the strength of this remnant Yin God Realm, once leaving the Great Yue Kingdom, there indeed would be a chance to return to the Taoist sect!
By that time,
Great True Master Chong Kan would clearly know everything that had happened within the Dragon Array.
Regrettably,
the remnants of Chong Kan were doomed not to escape this Secret Realm.
“Actually, I don’t quite understand what happened between you two…
but if I’m not mistaken, this must be quite the trouble, right?”
The remnant thoughts of Qing Li looked towards Xie Xuanyi and smiled softly.
At the time of the battle within the Dragon Array,
Xie Xuanyi had placed her in the ruins to the side, so the little one didn’t witness the battle within the array…
but she inferred the general situation from the conversation between Ao Ying and Xie Xuanyi.
“Indeed, it is a trouble,”
said Xie Xuanyi solemnly.
He didn’t expect the choice of Chong Kan’s remnant thoughts to be so decisive…
Great True Master Chong Kan was one of the foremost Yang God powerhouses of Da Chu, and was infamously resolute in his actions!
The matter of the Red Dragon Fortune was extremely secretive.
In fact, the death and disappearance of Xie Sheng from the Dao wasn’t much, losing that fortune could be swallowed like a broken tooth.
But once such actions were exposed, the impact would be significant; the image of the Taoist sect and Prince Jiangning’s manor would plummet, which Chong Kan could not accept…
One could imagine if this remnant thought successfully returned, this Great Perfected would definitely take some “special measures” to eliminate any future risks.
“Kill?”
Qing Li looked at Xie Xuanyi, her expression calm as if talking about something trivial.
She entrusted this power of life and death to Xie Xuanyi’s hands.
“To kill Chong Kan…”
Upon hearing these words, Ao Ying’s voice carried a sigh of emotion, unable to help but sigh.
The remnants of Chong Kan had caused her unbearable suffering.
From beginning to end, she only thought about how to escape the pursuit of these remnants; even as a demon body, she worried about whether Chong Kan would settle accounts with her after escaping the Great Yue Kingdom.
As for counter-killing?
She dared not even think about it.
“Kill!”
Xie Xuanyi’s expression was sharp, without the slightest hesitation.
The moment the words fell, Qing Li raised her palm, two fingers joined together like a sword, and gently slashed down.
Hisss!
Space shattered, the remnant thoughts of Chong Kan frozen by the True Dragon Dao were torn directly in two; the black robes and garments were split in the air, with Qing Li eliminating these remnant thoughts as easily as drinking water… but truly worthy of a Yang God remnant, Chong Kan fixed his gaze upon Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying until the very “end of his life.”
“Rest assured.
Not a single trace of consciousness will escape this world.”
Qing Li spoke softly, her voice gentle as she slowly clenched her fist.
Numerous Tao Rules converged!
The remnant soul was directly ground into dust!
Having done all this, Qing Li’s body, separated from her true self, visibly dimmed a bit.
Thunder roared at the zenith.
The True Dragon was trapped by the Ruyi Cave Heaven.
Qing Li’s true body was engaged in a “Dao” struggle with Emperor Qi; the fact that this separated incarnation could so effortlessly kill Chong Kan’s remnants showed how formidable it was.
Xie Xuanyi felt somewhat distressed: “You really didn’t have to do this.”
To kill the remnants of Chong Kan would surely consume some of Qing Li’s Divine Power.
The battle against the dragon was not yet over.
In a fight of this level, both sides would give their all.
A mere hair’s breadth difference could decide the victor.
He could see that Qing Li’s divinity was recovering bit by bit, and the naivety belonging to the “mute girl” in her eyes was gradually fading.
“It doesn’t count for much.”
Qing Li shook her head and said lightly, “There is one more person I must kill.”
The next moment,
she led the two back to the vicinity of the Great Yue Well.
Prince Jiu sat on the ground with a pale face, looking at the three who “returned after leaving”; he had thought Qing Li led Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying away from the Great Yue Kingdom…
He had secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he never imagined that the three would return to the old place after just a few moments!
The reason for killing Chong Kan first was simple.
The remnant thoughts had already fled; given the speed of Chong Kan’s remnants, if left alone, they would quickly leave the ancient country and escape the Secret Realm.
“You…”
Qing Li gazed at the demon man before her, missing an arm, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, pain apparent in her eyes.
The scenes from Tiesuo Alley flashed through her mind.
Qing Li’s complexion turned several shades paler, and she coldly uttered two words: “Deserves death.”
At that moment, the divinity in her eyes was replaced by the mute girl’s rage.
With a sweep of her sleeve, she raised her hand.
Boom!
Prince Jiu screamed, clutching his severed arm and retreating backward; he was at the pinnacle of the Yin God Realm, just one step from striking towards the Yang God.
In the entire Demon Country, there were not many who dared to clash with him at the same realm.
Regrettably…
the person before him stood even higher than a Yang God.
The True Dragon Dao swept down from the heavens like thunder!
Despair appeared in Prince Jiu’s eyes.
He brought out the five-colored divine lamp and awakened the Dharma Image Divine Shadow, throwing magic treasures up into the sky with all his might.
In the presence of the True Dragon’s power,
The five-colored divine lamp shattered instantly, its light fragmented by the blow.
The Dharma Image Divine Shadow was also directly scattered.
As for those treasures, not a single one could withstand it for even a moment…
This thunderous power was unstoppable, piercing through heaven and earth, nearly reaching the center of Prince Jiu’s forehead!
And at the very last moment, the very last millimeter,
A Ruyi Dao came sweeping across, lifting the True Dragon Dao!
Emperor Qi, suspended high in the sky, cast an indifferent glance at the world below.
He did all this…
not to save the demons.
In this war, he had only one enemy.
That was “Qing Li.”
Everything he did was also for the sake of victory.
The entire world was roaring, countless iron cavalries charged at the body of the True Dragon…
At the same time, the dream-like Ruyi Dao landed on Prince Jiu’s forehead.
Prince Jiu, who was a hair’s breadth away from death,
Saw once again the illusionary visions within “Mirror Flower, Water Moon.”
He sat upon the throne atop the high mountain.
The Ruyi Dao fell into his forehead.
It’s just a shame that, after being shattered by the True Dragon Dao, the dharma shadow reformed behind Prince Jiu, taking the shape of an indifferent figure in a fluttering Imperial Robe.
Qing Li divided her incarnation, and so did Emperor Qi.
They both flicked their sleeves, the True Dragon Dao collided with the Ruyi Dao, and in just a moment, the exposed mouth of the Great Yue Well was shattered by the rolling surge of energy.
“Ugh…”
Although Prince Jiu didn’t die under the onslaught of the True Dragon Dao, his expression was one of agony, with dazzling colors of Dreamy Colored Glaze flickering across his pupils.
This symbolized the influence of the Ruyi Dao on the Heart Lake.
Those of a lower realm would naturally not feel resistance and become puppet chess pieces manipulated by Emperor Qi’s Divine Thought.
Like those iron cavalries, those Chiliarchs, Centurions.
But Prince Jiu was different.
His Divine Soul Realm was far higher than that of any Centurion!
“If you want to live, abandon resistance,”
Emperor Qi’s voice dropped into the Heart Lake, saying indifferently, “Otherwise, I will withdraw the Dao intent right now.”
Prince Jiu’s expression wavered, and he closed his eyes, reluctantly accepting the reality.
He staggered to his feet.
The aura about him changed as a layer of colored glaze light shrouded his five-colored phantom.
“…”
Qing Li narrowed her eyes, sizing up the person before her.
Two strands of Dao qi wafted on Prince Jiu’s body, tug-of-war clear: his own Dao clashing with the Ruyi Dao for dominance.
Without hesitation, she grabbed Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying by their shoulders once more and swept towards the city outskirts.
The next moment.
The surrendered Prince Jiu, letting the Ruyi Dao take over his Heart Lake, appeared in front of Qing Li with a punch from his remaining arm!
Boom!
With an impassive look, Qing Li also threw a punch, imploding all structures within a mile radius, sending them skyward!
She stepped forward to block Prince Jiu.
Above the True Dragon Dharma, another incarnation descended, but Emperor Qi also “incarnated in thousands,” with divine light from Ruyi Cave Heaven blocking the True Dragon Divine Thought completely.
This struggle of qi had inevitably escalated.
Qing Li, unable to do anything, could only look back at Xie Xuanyi.
“There’s no need to protect each other on the road ahead,”
Xie Xuanyi immediately understood, transmitting Divine Thought to signify Qing Li needn’t worry.
“…All right!”
Qing Li spoke no further, but after taking a deep breath, she said seriously, “I’ll block all of Emperor Qi’s Divine Thoughts for you…
Don’t look back!”
After a pause,
She looked at Prince Jiu before her: “The Ruyi Dao can muddle one’s mind, and the person before us is already eroded by the Dao in his Heart Lake.
Without external help, there’s almost no chance of recovery.”
The Ruyi Dao descended around Prince Jiu, who was enveloped in glaze light, overshadowing the five-colored brilliance.
At this moment, he was no longer himself.
In a sense.
Being occupied by the Ruyi Dao in the Heart Lake was also a kind of “death.”
Qing Li released a trace of the Dao around Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying’s heads, warning gravely: “I know there are many old friends of yours in this ancient country…
If you plan to save someone, be extremely cautious and don’t be deceived by Emperor Qi’s stray thoughts.”
