Chapter 114: Sage Skill Eight Serpents Tornado, Attack and Defense Interchanged, Devil Ox Misses the Opportunity

Crack!

Boom!

The wind howled, and thunder roared, accompanied by flashing lightning! Raindrops fell from the dark clouds, pouring down upon the mortal realm.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Arcing lightning danced upon the deep blue Horned Hammer, as if it had come to life, imbued with a majestic and domineering divine essence, intertwining upon its surface.

The leader of the Black Snake Gang, a cultivator who had refined his physical body using the Corpse Curse Seal, had reached the level of a Cursed Iron Corpse. Even a Grandmaster would find him extremely troublesome and challenging to defeat easily.

However, this Horned Hammer, which flew in with a howl, effortlessly shattered his skull into pieces, demonstrating the formidable power and divine essence contained within.

The entire territory of the Black Snake Gang was instantly stirred with the spreading bloodstains, and numerous gang members trembled in fear.

They looked towards the direction of the flashing lightning.

There, they saw a figure wearing a cat face mask, hands behind his back, striding through the distorted wind and rain. His toes tapped on the black-tiled roof, and he landed gracefully.

After landing outside the gang's courtyard, he lifted his feet lightly and walked slowly.

With each step, the ground seemed to tremble in unison, as if drumbeats were pounding against their hearts. The Black Snake Gang members' blood seemed to freeze, and their heartbeats were pulled and linked together.

Puff!

A Bone Tempering Warrior couldn't withstand the pressure, sweating profusely, and coughed up blood, collapsing on the ground with uncontrollable fear in his eyes.

The other Blood Replenishing Warriors also had their blood vessels dilating, barely able to maintain their stances.

Cat face mask, Horned Hammer...

Horned Heaven-Shattering Hammer, Li Qingshan!

The Black Snake Gang members were terrified, their souls trembling. They were all too familiar with the reputation of Li Qingshan.

How many experts had that Horned Hammer crushed in the city? How much blood of experts had it stained! Compared to the Devil Ox, they were even more terrified of this notorious existence.

The rain fell from the sky, but before it could land on Li Qingshan, it was completely distorted and dispersed by an invisible force.

Even in front of Granny Mu, Li Qingshan always maintained a hunched posture, wanting to let her know that he had aged and not have any other thoughts.

But when it came to killing, Li Qingshan was a different person.

He stretched lazily, and countless divine essences gathered around him, like an electric snake coiling behind him. He yawned and stretched leisurely.

"It's still more comfortable in the city. I can mobilize as much divine essence as I want..."

"I can also use my true qi and blood essence freely."

A faint laughter echoed from behind the cat face mask.

"It's a pity you didn't take the opportunity to kill me when I left the city..."

His voice reverberated in the dead silence of the Black Snake Gang's courtyard.

No one dared to respond.

The gang members knew that Li Qingshan wasn't talking to them.

The two vice leaders of the Black Snake Gang were terrified, their legs trembling. They threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground.

"Spare our lives..."

"Spare us, Leader Li!"

Perhaps it was because someone had taken the lead, but the gang members all threw down their weapons and knelt, without a trace of resistance.

Li Qingshan's eyes, hidden behind the mask, glanced at them indifferently.

His five fingers clenched.

The Horned Hammer, with arcing lightning, suddenly shot out from the deep pit it was embedded in, and as it returned, it smashed the heads of the two vice leaders, splattering blood and brain matter everywhere.

With a loud crack, Li Qingshan gripped the Horned Hammer. Without paying attention to the gang members, he stomped his foot, and in an instant, his powerful blood essence erupted.

Boom! The entire ground shattered, and countless cracks appeared, along with chaotic fragments of stone. The heat from underground blasted the debris into the air.

Li Qingshan, surrounded by three blood essence furious dragons, resembled an ancient ferocious beast. A building instantly exploded!

"Li Qingshan!"

A heavy voice, tinged with fear, came from the mist.

It was Liu Jinsong, a Phantom Realm cultivator from the Fishermen's Gang.

He had been hiding here, originally targeting the Devil Ox and working with the Corpse Deity Sect's experts to set up an ambush.

However, he never expected that instead of the Devil Ox, a heaven-shattering sheep had fallen into their trap. Li Qingshan was much more challenging to deal with than the Devil Ox! Not only was his identity formidable, but his strength was even more so.

The raging true qi ravaged the area, sweeping away the shattered debris from the exploded building. Li Qingshan stood there, gripping the Horned Hammer with one hand.

With his body as the center, the surrounding airflow was squeezed and emptied by the three furious dragon-like blood essence dragons.

Liu Jinsong rose into the air, his body distorting and revealing a vague phantom divine image. His expression was extremely ugly.

"The Devil Ox slaughtered seven forces under our Fishermen's Gang. We set up this trap to kill the Devil Ox! Why are you interfering, Li Qingshan?!"

Liu Jinsong roared.

Liu Jinsong was ranked seventh on the Cloud State Divine Foundation List and had cultivated the Six Ministries Divine Foundation, the Sage Skill of the Heavenly Origin Sect, the "Eight Serpents Tornado Technique."

Ordinary Phantom Realm cultivators were no match for Li Qingshan.

Unless they were also Phantom Realm cultivators who had reached the Six Ministries level, it would be challenging to suppress Li Qingshan with their cultivation base alone.

And if it came to a physical confrontation, who could be a match for Li Qingshan, who had cultivated the Heavenly Origin Sect's Sage Skill, the "Eight Serpents Tornado Technique"?

"I am a wandering cultivator of the Divine Sect. I don't care..."

Li Qingshan laughed behind his mask.

The next moment, he exhaled thunderously.

Li Qingshan knew who the Devil Ox was and why he had allied with the Fishermen's Gang. He also knew the details of the situation through intelligence.>

The Fishermen's Gang... had allied with the Corpse Deity Sect, terrorizing the common people and cultivating evil arts. They deserved their fate.

Today, as he returned to the Golden Light City, he wanted to demonstrate his power and make a statement.

He wanted the people of the Golden Light City to remember his Horned Hammer.

Li Qingshan took a step forward, and the three furious dragons danced wildly, like leaping flames. It was as if countless arcs of lightning were erupting, surging and sweeping along with his words.

"You say that?!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The Horned Hammer descended like a giant hammer striking a drum, and the earth itself became the drum. Countless lightning bolts rose, and arcing lightning shot straight into the sky, like a thunderstorm lashing the mortal realm.

With just one hammer, it dominated and suppressed everything within a hundred meters.

The lightning was blinding, wrapping around the Grandmaster's blood essence furious dragons, making the world seem to lose its brilliance in that moment.

Liu Jinsong's phantom divine image was also suppressed and dimmed.

This hammer!

Such a hammer!

The Six Ministries divine essence surged, entwining within the shadow of the hammer. Li Qingshan's spirit, true qi, and blood essence were all released in that strike.

I'm going to die!

I'm going to die!

"I'm a Phantom Realm cultivator!"

Liu Jinsong roared, his hands clenching forward. His phantom divine image seemed to condense in the heavens, glaring at the mortal realm.

However, beneath the cat mask, Li Qingshan chuckled.

With a single sweep of his hammer, the resounding clamor echoed through the world, accompanied by his mocking laughter.

"Divine Image? It's just an illusion. Moreover, what Divine Foundation have you forged..."

"What Divine Foundation have I forged?"

"My Divine Foundation was obtained by trading my life before the Temple God..."

"Do you think you can compare to me?"

...

...

In the darkness, Li Che wore a cute ox mask, suppressing his spiritual energy, and from afar, he stared at Li Qingshan's attack.

"So fierce?!"

Li Che's pupils constricted slightly, and his heart trembled.

Just sensing the faintly surging thunder, he felt his flesh tingle as if every cell in his body had been stimulated into numbness!

With thunder, shatter the darkness!

The evil aura dissipates!

Incredibly domineering!

Moreover, the Grandmaster's robust vital energy and blood essence were so powerful that the three-headed raging dragon seemed capable of overturning the rivers and seas, causing the world to change color! Compared to when he was in Feilei City, he was now much stronger, and it wasn't even on the same level.

Li Che knew that in Feilei City, Li Qingshan's divinity had not yet manifested, and he relied solely on his physical body, which seemed to be unable to unleash its vital energy and blood essence freely.

But at that time, he had smashed three Cursed Iron Corpses, experts of the Corpse Deity Sect.

Li Che thought that with Li Qingshan's divinity restored, his vital energy unleashed, he wouldn't be much stronger...

But who knew the gap would be so huge!

Li Qingshan... was only at the Divine Foundation stage!

However, Li Che quickly calmed down, his eyes narrowed, and his mind was filled with countless thoughts, constantly changing.

Finally, he exhaled, just like rolling thunder.

His figure instantly merged into the darkness.

Silently.

...

...

Pfft—!

In the night sky, countless spring raindrops were blasted into fragments, exploding into a dense mist of water!

The illusory Divine Image, like a porcelain sculpture, was covered in cracks and then shattered into countless pieces, vanishing into the world.

Liu Jinsong, the vice-leader of the Fishermen's Gang, wailed as he spat out fresh blood, his miserable screams tearing through the darkness!

With a single hammer strike, thunder rumbled in the pitch-black sky like a spiderweb blooming, as if shattering even the void!

Liu Jinsong's body was smashed and sent flying in mid-air, his bones cracking and popping, and as he flew, he opened his mouth, unable to control the gushing blood that resembled thick, viscous mercury!

Thud!

Liu Jinsong slammed into the ground, shattering several large bricks, causing the ground to sink, and dust and smoke billowed up, spreading out like ripples.

With just a single hammer strike, Liu Jinsong, a cultivator at the Phantom Realm, was defeated!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"The Corpse God Envoy hasn't made a move yet?!"

In the deep pit on the street, Liu Jinsong clutched his chest, swaying as if about to fall. His eyes were filled with rage, and he roared.

With just a single hammer strike, he was covered in blood. If it were a real fight, he would have been hammered to death.

Therefore, at this moment, he shouted without hesitation, revealing the hidden identity of the Corpse God Envoy.

A dead comrade is better than a poor Daoist!

The Corpse Deity Sect's expert had drawn the fire, attracting the enemy's attention!

He didn't feel any shame. He had been hammered by Li Qingshan too many times, and one more wouldn't make a difference. It was normal for him to be unable to defeat Li Qingshan.

The main reason was that he had truly felt the power of that hammer strike, and he was genuinely terrified.

No wonder he was an expert on the Divine Foundation Catalog of Yunzhou!

How terrifying must the top three be?

Right now, he just wanted to escape!

Liu Jinsong's body swayed, and the instant he finished speaking, he unleashed his divine secret technique, transforming into a streak of blood that shot away in an instant!

As Liu Jinsong roared, Li Qingshan's divine consciousness surged forth, and with the grip on his horned hammer, he slammed it onto the ground, unleashing currents of electricity that spread in all directions from the earth!

"Come out, you old man!"

Li Qingshan roared.

Behind him, a Divine Foundation emerged, resembling a millstone formed by layers of thunder, and on top of it, countless ancient symbols composed of thunder surged, and a unique aura belonging to the Temple God spread out.

In the distance, the dense Corpse Qi and Death Qi rose into the sky, and in an instant, the world seemed to become even darker.

A Temple God floated up, its appearance extremely bizarre. Its enormous nose swayed as if it were the hammer of the world, and a peculiar fragrance instantly emanated from its nose.

"The Six Desires... The Corpse God with the Nose of Vairocana!"

"The Divine Image of the Corpse Deity Sect."

A black figure emerged from the void, and the pressure of its rank enveloped the area. Li Qingshan, wearing the cat mask, instantly narrowed his eyes.

The true Divine Image Realm was not as easy to hammer as the Phantom Realm cultivators.

Although the Phantom Realm was called the Divine Image Realm, it didn't possess the aura of the Divine Image Realm's rank, so Li Qingshan still had room to counterattack with the Six Palaces Divine Foundation.

However, once the true Divine Image Realm unleashed its rank pressure, Li Qingshan would find it difficult to swing his hammer freely.

Nevertheless, the Divine Image should be dealt with by the Divine Image itself.

"It seems like a big fish has been forced out."

Li Qingshan laughed, his eyes sparkling.

The Devil Ox had forced the Corpse Deity Sect to act, even sending out an Eight Extremes Corpse God Envoy to personally ambush them!

What a move!

He, Li Qingshan, was no different!

How long had that guy been in the city?

"Everyone, are you still watching the show? The Divine Image of the Corpse Deity Sect is a great achievement. Li Qingshan won't compete with you all for it."

Li Qingshan retracted his hammer and laughed.

In the void, the Corpse God Envoy, enveloped in dense Corpse Qi, wore a white mask with a huge "Eight" written in blood on it, and his eyes were cold and silent.

The Divine Image with the enormous nose suddenly swung its nose, as if shaking the world.

The void was instantly shattered, and it seemed like it would break through the void and leave.

Originally, he was supposed to ambush the Devil Ox, and as soon as the Devil Ox made a move, he would use his Divine Image's rank pressure to suppress him, sealing the void with divine talismans and divine armaments to capture the Devil Ox.

The Devil Ox possessed an eighth-rank Corpse Curse Seal, a seal that must be retrieved!

But instead of the Devil Ox, a madman in sheep's clothing appeared.

What bad luck.

"Hahaha, Li Qingshan, you've caused quite a stir on your return."

Suddenly, a faint laughter echoed through the heavens and earth.

A handsome man in a robe, appearing youthful, arrived with an air of transcendence. Although he had not unleashed his Divine Image, the terrifying oppression he exuded had already distorted the very fabric of reality.

The high-level practitioner of the Corpse Deity Sect paled in fear.

"Deputy Inspector Lin Xiu!"

The Corpse Deity Sect practitioner's hair stood on end. He had been lying in ambush for the Devil Ox, but the Devil Ox was merely bait to lure him out.

However, he soon calmed down, and beneath the eight-character mask, his eyes were cold and indifferent.

"The divine might of our sect is rolling in, and Yunzhou will be the next to bow under the divine might of the Corpse God and bathe in divine grace while still in the womb!"

A detached voice emerged from the mouth of the Corpse God Envoy.

"You're merely blocking the path of a chariot with your arms. Even the Demoness Ji Mo was blocked by our sect. In the end, you'll all be swept away by the grand tide and vanish without a trace!"

"Grand tide? What grand tide do you speak of?"

Deputy Inspector Lin Xiu raised his eyebrows in disdain, and without another word, he hooked his fingers, causing countless Qi streams to surge and a Divine Image pressure to roar, like a thunderous storm.

Li Qingshan quietly retreated, leaving the Divine Image battle to unfold without his interference.

Today, he had successfully hooked a big fish, and it was his greatest achievement since his glorious return.

However, the Corpse Deity Sect's infiltration of the various powers in the city was even worse than he had imagined.

As for how the Corpse Deity Sect's Divine Image practitioner was captured, it was not his concern. With the Corpse God Envoy appearing so openly, he was like a rat crossing the street.

The Corpse Deity Sect operated in the shadows, and each faction had its own agenda. But once exposed, they would all take action.

No one wanted to truly collaborate with the Demon Sect, so they would all make their moves. Each faction in the city had their own Divine Image practitioners, and it was the Divine Image of the Corpse Deity Sect that was the real threat.

The Guild Master of the Fishermen's Gang, Jing Wudao, could no longer hide and had to curse and fight. Meanwhile, in the Temple Guard, a Divine Image practitioner also unleashed their pressure.

That night, chaos erupted in the city.

A Divine Image battle, triggered by the attempt to lure the Devil Ox, erupted.

However, from the very beginning...

The Devil Ox, who was supposed to be the bait, did not even show a single hair.

Boom...

The pressure of the Divine Image's rank collided, like angry thunder rolling in the clouds.

The night sky above the city seemed to brighten.

...

...

A streak of light flashed through the heavens and earth, swiftly passing through the city and continuing for dozens of zhang before slamming into the ground outside the city, carving a deep trench.

Liu Jinsong's body was flung to the ground, like a water strider on the surface of the water, bobbing up and down several times before finally coming to a stop.

Steam rose, and thick smoke filled the air.

A deep pit appeared on the road, crisscrossed with intricate cracks. Within the pit, scorching heat and a thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the air, making it difficult to disperse.

Liu Jinsong stood unsteadily in the pit, looking back at the Divine Image battle rising into the sky above the city.

His expression changed several times.

"Li Qingshan..." Liu Jinsong clenched his teeth in anger.

He pulled out his leg, ready to turn and flee.

Now was the best time to escape while everyone's attention was focused on the Divine Image battle.

He had deliberately lured out the Corpse God Envoy of the Corpse Deity Sect to create an opportunity for his escape.

"With the Divine Image battle raging within the city, Li Qingshan won't have time to worry about me. He won't come after me..."

"Cough, cough, cough... Damn you, Li Qingshan!"

"What a powerful Suspending Thought Thunderous Evil Destruction!"

"Wait until I join the Corpse Deity Sect, become a Cursed Bronze Corpse, and I'll return. When the Corpse Deity Sect conquers the Golden Light City and destroys the Divine Sect's Thunder Peak, I'll personally twist your head off, Li Qingshan!"

Liu Jinsong was filled with resentment.

His eyes flashed, and an eighth-rank Corpse Curse Seal, exuding a dense Death Qi, floated above his Pill Chamber.

Instantly, countless Corpse Qi, like writhing snakes, moved beneath his skin, aiding in his rapid recovery.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he unleashed a secret technique of the Divine Essence, using blood as a medium. At this moment, his consumption was immense.

His entire body seemed to be drained of blood.

Fortunately, his powerful Grandmaster's physique was continuously generating new blood, bringing him new vitality. However, he needed to quickly find a place to heal his injuries, as the severity of his wounds could permanently hinder his path to the Divine Image Realm.

"A Six Palaces level Divine Foundation is indeed impressive..."

"It's a pity I'm not a true Divine Image practitioner. Otherwise, under the pressure of a higher rank, Li Qingshan wouldn't dare to be so reckless!"

Liu Jinsong coughed up a mouthful of foul blood, his face darkening with resentment.

Boom! Dark clouds covered the sky, and ink-like darkness spread, as if countless thunder snakes were writhing in the clouds.

The heavy rain finally poured down, drenching the mountains, land, and rivers of Golden Light City!

The heavens and earth became hazy and pitch-black, making perception blurry.

Liu Jinsong was soaked by the rain as he tried to leave the pit.

Then, as he lifted his foot out of the pit, he suddenly stopped.

As a powerful Illusory Form Cultivator, his spiritual sense detected something amiss...

From all directions, a terrifying and suffocating killing intent surged like a tidal wave, making him feel like a tame deer being hunted by a skilled hunter.

Rainwater gathered on Liu Jinsong's chin, dripping continuously.

Suddenly, lightning flashed in the clouds, illuminating endless white light.

In the dazzling light, Liu Jinsong's hair stood on end, and he abruptly saw a figure wearing a conical hat appear silently before him.

As his gaze fell, the figure raised its head, revealing a lively Cute Ox Mask in the rain.

Please support with votes and recommendations! Thank you, Li Che bows in gratitude!
