Chapter 127: Four Divine Core Wheels Open, a Shot of Five-Colored Divine Light, and the King of Hell Appears

Divine Incarnation...

Zhao Zhengheng's forehead was covered in sweat, each drop frozen and rigid, clinging to his face.

An invisible force emerged between heaven and earth, causing the flow of air to become extremely slow and stagnant.

Zhao Zhengheng stood atop the river, amidst the surging waves, as if he could see through the water's surface and sense the hidden currents beneath.

The night wind was chilling, brushing past his cheeks.

Every inch of his blood seemed to freeze within his body.

But soon, a cruel glint appeared in Zhao Zhengheng's eyes.

Why would a Divine Incarnation make a move?

Could it be that his secret was exposed?

Impossible! He had been extremely low-key, and never used the "Corpse Binding Technique" in public. On the surface, he was the charismatic and free-spirited head of the Ouan Family.

With the Divine Incarnation Ancestor watching over them, which Divine Incarnation master would suddenly target him?

Unreasonable!

Zhao Zhengheng was not willing to surrender without a fight.

A roar echoed, as if the entire river was trembling, and the blood in his veins grew colder, as if it had lost all warmth, turning his body into a corpse. All the heat was drawn out, and the coppery hue on his flesh became more pronounced.

"Hmm? Still trying to struggle?"

A faint voice reverberated from all directions, the pressure overwhelming like a sudden surge of water, engulfing everything.

Zhao Zhengheng's entire body trembled, his neck twisting and contorting as he lifted his head high, a low growl erupting from his mouth.

He forcibly resisted the oppressive pressure of the Divine Incarnation!

The kind of pressure that made it hard to breathe!

A dim coppery glow emanated from his flesh, and death qi surged from every inch of his skin and blood, becoming so thick it was nauseating.

Facing the Divine Incarnation master's attack, Zhao Zhengheng's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.

A palm-sized wooden statue, infused with divine nature, suddenly appeared, and he crushed it without hesitation.

In an instant, divine nature surged into the sky, accompanied by howling winds, like an inflated balloon, transforming into a complete Divine Incarnation.

A crystal-clear Divine Incarnation appeared in the sky, exuding an intense emotion of fear, as if a blazing sun had suddenly burst forth.

Li Qingshan's cold laughter echoed through heaven and earth.

He was not surprised that Zhao Zhengheng crushed the Divine Incarnation statue without hesitation.

The Illusory Form was no match for a true Divine Incarnation, and the gap in their realms was insurmountable.

If Zhao Zhengheng dared to challenge him with his newly acquired Curse Copper Corpse, he would likely be crushed by the Divine Incarnation master.

It was normal for a family head to possess a Divine Incarnation statue, crafted by a Divine Incarnation master using a large amount of divine nature, as a means of protection.

After all, the fishing guild was not a family. When the fishing guild's deputy leader, Liu Jinsong, was killed, he couldn't produce such a statue.

A Divine Incarnation statue required a Divine Incarnation master to spend an entire year infusing their divine nature into the wood, consuming a significant amount of their essence, energy, and spirit to create a life-saving artifact.

A Divine Incarnation master could only create up to three such statues, any more would affect their Divine Incarnation.

Although the fishing guild leader was a Divine Incarnation master, it was unlikely that he would create a Divine Incarnation statue for a non-related deputy.

So, Liu Jinsong didn't have a Divine Incarnation statue to save his life.

Li Qingshan had anticipated this situation, which was why he called upon Lin Xiu, a Divine Incarnation Realm master, to take charge!

Zhao Zhengheng was heartbroken, but he finally broke free from his restraints!

Bang!

He stomped heavily, like a thousand-pound stone, plunging into a vast lake, creating a shocking upheaval.

Amidst the raging winds, Zhao Zhengheng's face was cold, his body transforming into the Curse Copper Corpse, forcefully breaking through the heavy waves.

"Quickly end this, no need to drag it out!"

"Don't wait for the Ouan Family's old man to arrive and join the fight!"

The faint voice echoed.

Zhao Zhengheng's eyes instantly flashed with murderous intent.

He already knew who it was.

"Li Qingshan!"

"It's you, Li Qingshan!"

Zhao Zhengheng's body trembled, and the water droplets that erupted from the river were shattered by his powerful physical strength.

The hazy river mist swirled.

"How dare you?!"

The roar echoed.

The next moment, a figure tore through the mist, his hunched body straightening, and countless thunderbolts intertwined!

A hammer with horned heads fell from his sleeve, slashing through the air, and countless thunderbolts weaved together, forming a divine image phantom with eagle wings on its back!

"How dare you?"

"How dare you cultivate the Corpse Binding Technique and reach the threshold of becoming a Curse Copper Corpse!"

"Zhao Zhengheng! How many innocent lives have you harmed?!"

Li Qingshan's cat face mask shattered, revealing an old face filled with cruelty and murderous intent!

Boom!

Zhao Zhengheng crossed his arms to block, and the horned hammer struck his body, nearly transformed into a Curse Copper Corpse, emitting a sound like an ancient bell.

The rippling air exploded into concentric shockwaves...

His body was flung out, and Zhao Zhengheng fell onto the river's surface, his legs tearing through the water, creating two white trails. A smile of joy appeared on his face.

"The Horned Heaven-Shattering Hammer, is this all?"

He blocked it!

Zhao Zhengheng's heart was filled with joy.

Li Qingshan's Ram Horn Hammer was renowned for its power in the Capital City.

How many experts had this hammer crushed? Now... he actually blocked it with his physical body!

His physical body could already be called a Curse Copper Corpse, just a hair's breadth away from entering the realm. Although he was lacking this final step, it seemed to have little impact.

Li Qingshan...

He couldn't be killed!

"Hahahaha, Ram Horn Heaven-Shattering Hammer, just an empty name!"

Shangguan Zhengheng burst into laughter, then turned around without hesitation and fled.

He escaped towards the direction of the Ouan Family.

He had no intention of engaging in a bloody battle with Li Qingshan, as above him was a true Divine Incarnation master blocked by the Divine Incarnation Totem of the Divine Seer Ancestor.

Although the Divine Incarnation Totem was an incarnation of the Divine Seer Ancestor, it couldn't hold him back for long!

Escape was the most sensible decision.

Even if his cultivation of the Corpse Binding Technique was exposed, with the Divine Seer Ancestor's influence, the worst that could happen would be stepping down as the family head and leaving Jin Guang City.

What could Li Qingshan do to him? As a powerful figure in Jin Guang City, he still had his privileges. Even if Li Qingshan obtained evidence of his crimes, what could he do?

If evidence alone could condemn someone to death, there wouldn't be so many unjust cases in the world!

Although he didn't know how Li Qingshan discovered his cultivation of the Corpse Binding Technique and summoned a Divine Incarnation master to kill him, as long as he could escape, he had a chance!

Li Qingshan was unwilling to let Shangguan Zhengheng get away, and he was well aware that if Shangguan Zhengheng survived, it would be difficult to punish him due to the close relationship between the five great families and the City Lord's Mansion.

The next time he wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be so easy!

"Stay right there!"

Li Qingshan roared, and countless thunderbolts intertwined and entangled.

Thunder Roar Glaring Eyes, Horned Heaven-Shattering Hammer!

Boom—!

Shangguan Zhengheng was smashed away again, and on the river's surface, a white wave was pulled and torn apart.

Shangguan Zhengheng coughed up a little blood, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Li Qingshan... You can't kill me!"

"You're not a Divine Incarnation, I've cultivated the Curse Copper Corpse, and you can't kill me now! Haha!"

Qingshan remained silent.

His body's tendons and bones trembled, and the Three-Headed Furious Serpents roared, unleashing the Martial Art Supreme Technique, Eight Serpents Rolling River!

True energy boiled and surged like a raging tide, rising several zhang high like a curtain.

Grasping the Ram Horn Hammer, he struck again!

If one strike didn't break it, then two, three...

Sooner or later, he would smash you to pieces!

...

...

Splash—!

The river water was torn apart.

On the other side, the battle erupted with a startling momentum in the blink of an eye.

However, the crossbow bolt that Shangguan Zhengheng had initially thrown out was almost completely ignored by everyone, and it burst forth with terrifying speed, chasing after the small boat like a speedboat!

On the small boat, the girl wearing the Squirrel Mask frantically manipulated the Divine Symbol, causing the boat to accelerate.

But Shangguan Zhengheng was an Illusory Form master, and he had also cultivated the Curse Copper Corpse of the Corpse Deity Sect. His strength was unparalleled, and the crossbow bolt he threw was almost as fast as the bolt she had shot with the Divine Symbol Crossbow.

The sound of the bolt cutting through the air was like a dazzling flash, leaving a white trail on the river's surface.

A black shadow, like a black lightning bolt tearing through the river, roared like thunder!

It shot straight through!

"I'm going to die!"

Under the Squirrel Mask, Shangguan Qinghong's eyes revealed a hint of despair.

Indeed...

Was it still impossible?

She had planned and tried countless times to assassinate Shangguan Zhengheng.

Shangguan Qinghong was her biological father, but she hated him with a vengeance and wanted to kill him with her own hands.

Because Shangguan Qinghong had witnessed her mother being "refined" to death by Shangguan Zhengheng!

It was a nightmare that haunted her.

She couldn't imagine how a person could be so evil, watching her mother's flesh and blood slowly melt away. Her heart bled, and she swore to kill Shangguan Zhengheng.

As for Shangguan Zhengheng, he didn't care about his daughter. After committing the murder in front of her, he left without a care.

He even told her to grow up and keep her alive, as he was preparing her as a refining material for the future.

Fortunately, Shangguan Qinghong was later discovered by Lin Xiu and brought to the Celestial Surveillance Agency, freeing her from this devil.

However, Shangguan Qinghong's desire to kill the devil never faded.

Tonight, upon learning that Shangguan Zhengheng had spent the night at the Cloud Fragrance Pavilion for the first time in several months, she began planning and taking action.

The Divine Symbol Crossbow she had prepared was her ultimate killing move.

It was the only means she had, given her cultivation, to threaten Shangguan Zhengheng.

Her Divine Symbol technique was taught to her by Lin Xiu, a Divine Form Realm master renowned for his Divine Symbol mastery. Lin Xiu had taken Shangguan Qinghong under his wing not only out of pity but also because he recognized her talent for the Divine Symbol.

"In the end... is it still impossible?"

"Can an evil person... live without restraint in this world?"

Shangguan Qinghong sat in the small boat, her body cold. The Divine Crossbow that shot at her carried Shangguan Zhengheng's 【Extreme Fear Plundering Divinity】.

As the Divine Crossbow approached, the pressure of the Illusory Form realm overwhelmed her, leaving her unable to even move.

She could only wait for death.

Crack, crack—

As the crossbow bolt drew near, the surging energy was too powerful for the Squirrel Mask to withstand, and it shattered with dense cracks!

Shangguan Qinghong's beautiful and delicate face was revealed, but it was pale and lifeless.

She failed to kill Shangguan Zhengheng and instead sealed her own fate.

Shangguan Qinghong was unwilling, not just about her death but also about failing to kill Shangguan Zhengheng, that beast!

Just as she thought she couldn't escape the fate of being pierced by the Divine Crossbow.

A sound of wind and thunder reached her ears, followed by endless wails of ghosts, accompanied by the bowstring being pulled to the full moon, emitting unbearable cries of agony...

Shangguan Qinghong turned her head and saw a figure in the distance on the river, a slender silhouette.

Wearing a horse face mask, he was striding across the waves, drawing his bow and shooting arrows!

Boom!

The moment the arrow left the Thunder Serpent Fury Bow, a large patch of wind and thunder exploded.

Shangguan Qinghong only felt the sound of ghosts wailing, furious serpents hissing, and the thunderous roar of wind and lightning ringing in her ears.

Whoosh!

Hundred Demons Crying Thunder Arrow!

The arrow seemed to flash like a stream of light as it shot towards her.

It collided with the divine crossbow that Shangguan Zhengheng had thrown and then retrieved.

The divine nature contained within the arrow and the crossbow bolt clashed and erupted.

Boom!

The invisible shockwave spread out in concentric circles, causing the turbulent river water to surge up on both sides, and countless splashes of water were shattered into powder.

This arrow directly blasted the trajectory of the divine crossbow, causing it to fly off course and lose its accuracy completely. It grazed past Shangguan Qinghong's fair and tender cheek, whistling as it flew away.

Silently, it sank into the river, shooting straight towards the riverbed.

"Hmm?"

Shangguan Qinghong gasped for breath, her chest heaving violently. Her eyes still held the terror of being between life and death.

Not dead...

The crossbow bolt had been shot off course by an arrow!

That arrow was a lifesaver!

Shangguan Qinghong felt her whole body go limp, and she collapsed onto the boat, panting heavily.

However, the tall figure wearing the horse face mask had already boarded the boat.

"Borrowing your boat for a moment."

The horse face spoke in a calm tone.

"Senior, thank you for saving my life!" Shangguan Qinghong exclaimed with gratitude, her eyes wide.

But the horse face did not respond to her.

Standing on the boat, the gaze from beneath the horse face mask was incredibly deep and sharp.

T

Its power was now even more formidable than before.

However, the target this time was much stronger than Qin Yuqing.

Shangguan Zhengheng, with his Innate Divinity, had forged his flesh into a Curse Copper Corpse...

"Sniping might be a bit difficult."

"But, at this distance, it's worth a try."

The horse face seemed to murmur softly, and in the next moment, he took out a Dragon Tooth Bodhi bullet that resembled a work of art.

Behind him, Shangguan Qinghong was left speechless, and she took a deep breath.

She seemed to... know who this person was!

The divine archer who had shot and killed Qin Yuqing of the Qin family from dozens of li away!

Turns out... it wasn't the Ox Demon who killed Qin Yuqing!

The case is solved! Shangguan Qinghong felt like she had discovered a big secret!

Horse Face...

The killer of Qin Yuqing was Horse Face!

What is he going to do now? Shangguan Qinghong felt like she was chasing after a celebrity, and she stood up, afraid to breathe.

She watched as Horse Face loaded the strange hidden weapon into the bizarre mechanism.

It looked like a bow but wasn't a bow, and it resembled a crossbow but wasn't a crossbow...

Even the Divine Symbol Crossbow couldn't kill Shangguan Zhengheng, so could this mechanism in Horse Face's hand, which didn't seem very powerful, be of any use?

The news of Qin Yuqing's death from being shot from dozens of li away had spread far and wide, but Shangguan Zhengheng was no ordinary person like Qin Yuqing.

"Senior, do you want to try adding the power of the Divine Symbol?" Shangguan Qinghong asked tentatively.

The eyes behind the horse face mask finally turned slightly towards Shangguan Qinghong.

Divine Symbol?

Li Che's heart stirred slightly.

But in the end, he chose to shake his head.

Sniping was a serious matter, and there were many factors to consider. Who knew what the effect would be if he added the Divine Symbol arbitrarily?

If it weakened the damage, it would be a loss.

Moreover, the fusion of the Divine Symbol with the Barrett might require various adjustments and fine-tuning.

It wasn't as simple as just using it.

Li Che declined Shangguan Qinghong's suggestion.

Then, he held his breath and focused his spirit.

He no longer paid attention to Shangguan Qinghong. Li Che, wearing the horse face mask, slowly exhaled, and in an instant, his essence, energy, and spirit twisted into a tight rope.

Li Che's killing intent towards Shangguan Zhengheng was more intense than ever.

This was an enormous threat.

Not only had this person yelled at his daughter, Xi Xi, but he had also developed inappropriate thoughts towards his daughter-in-law.

He deserved to die!

Today, with the restraint of two experts, Lin Xiu and Li Qingshan, it was the perfect opportunity to kill Shangguan Zhengheng.

Li Che would not let this chance slip away.

Therefore, he was going to use his ultimate means.

Sniper, Horse Face!

Ready!

...

...

S

Divine energy emanated from Horse Face, and the boat, which had been rocking, suddenly became as solid as if it were poured with concrete.

Intense killing intent seeped out from Horse Face's body.

Within his chest, the Chess Sage's Dao Fruit trembled and pulsated.

In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded, with the small boat on the Nine Dragon River as its focal point, intersecting and spreading out.

On the chessboard, several breaths were extremely prominent and powerful.

Lin Xiu's Divine Incarnation aura was dazzling, like a scorching sun, while Li Qingshan's breath was also strong, emitting a white light. Shangguan Zhengheng's breath, on the other hand, was pitch-black, emitting an incredibly dense black aura.

Clearly, Shangguan Zhengheng's killing intent towards Li Che was incredibly intense.

What a coincidence, you want to kill me...

I want to kill you too.

This was a mutual pursuit.

The Heaven and Earth... suddenly became quiet.

(End of Chapter)

The only sounds were the adjustments of breathing.

In the distance, Li Qingshan and Shangguan Zhengheng, who had transformed into a Curse Copper Corpse, were engaged in a fierce chase.

Shangguan Zhengheng, with his head covered, ran towards the riverbank with all his might, undoubtedly intending to return to the Shangguan Family Mansion to seek the protection of the Divine Incarnation Ancestor.

However, Li Qingshan intended to take advantage of this opportunity to strike while Shangguan Zhengheng was returning.

Therefore...

Li Qingshan held nothing back.

However, the Curse Copper Corpse was even more difficult and stubborn than the Curse Iron Corpse, easily withstanding several strikes from Li Qingshan's hammer as if it were nothing.

Nevertheless, Li Qingshan did not give up easily. He swung his Ram Horn Hammer again, attracting and manipulating countless spiderweb-like bolts of lightning.

With a fierce swing, the hammer came crashing down like an enraged serpent, slamming into Shangguan Zhengheng, who had cultivated into a Curse Copper Corpse.

Shangguan Zhengheng's physical body was almost grotesquely twisted, but his formidable resilience and toughness prevented him from dying.

Like a cannonball, he was shot out, smashing into the river and creating a series of water pillars.

As the last water pillar bloomed, Shangguan Zhengheng flipped over and leaped up, coughing up blood. His physical body emitted a copper glow, accompanied by a thick stream of death energy.

He was about to escape again.

Just as he had flipped over and stood up, 500 zhang away, Ma Mian's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Now was the time!

In the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, a pitch-black Temple Deity Divine Nature Chess Piece suddenly appeared before Ma Mian, exploding with a bang and transforming into thick black gas that merged into the bullet, "Dragon Tooth Bodhi," causing black smoke to emanate from it.

His momentum soared!

His spiritual sense locked onto the aura of Shangguan Zhengheng in the chessboard!

"This shot..."

"Four Divine Core Wheels... Blooming together!"

"For you..."

"See the King of Hell!"

Li Che took a deep breath, and in an instant, the world fell silent.

"Boom!"

He slammed down the trigger mechanism!

In an instant, the Horse Face Mask's forehead cracked, and within his Dantian, the four Divine Core Wheels appeared behind him.

Divine Nature... overwhelming!

【Three-Eyed Wrathful True Monarch】, 【Wrathful Cry Ghost Suppressing】, 【Suspended Thought Flowing Sword】, 【Heart Shocking Stiffness】!

Anger, sorrow, thought, and shock!

T

It was as if there was a charging sound, "Duh—" constantly accumulating!

Shangguan Qinghong's legs went soft, and she directly collapsed onto the small boat, her widened eyes losing their divine light as she stared blankly at the four Divine Core Wheels that had appeared...

One person...

How could someone possibly possess four Divine Core Wheels?!

Is this a human?

Is this a human?!

Boom!

The terrifying blast caused sound waves to explode almost simultaneously, as the crimson Barrett, intertwined with five colors, erupted. In addition to the colors of the four Divine Core Wheels, there was also a black divine nature from the Dragon Tooth Bodhi!

Like a peacock facing the morning sun, spreading its tail!

An incredibly powerful shockwave instantly roared out of the gun barrel, as the Dragon Tooth Bodhi, infused with divine nature, burst forth and swept through the entire boat.

In an instant, the boat violently shook, nearly exploding from the terrifying recoil, with countless cracks appearing on its surface.

The boat seemed to have activated a speedboat mode, shooting backwards over a hundred zhang!

Layer upon layer of cascading curtains of water surged up and then rapidly fell!

A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared and disappeared, followed by...

The blazing red Dragon Tooth Bodhi shot out!

Wrapped in five-colored divine light!

It tore through the sound barrier and broke through the air!

...

...

Shangguan Zhengheng, glowing with a copper light, laughed. He shook off the lightning with his physical body, completely throwing it off.

Once again, he blocked Li Qingshan's hammer, feeling incredibly refreshed, although he knew he couldn't defeat Li Qingshan.

As long as he didn't do anything reckless and focused on returning to the Shangguan Family Mansion to seek the protection of the old ancestor, he wouldn't die!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted from the distant boat!

He vaguely saw the four Divine Core Wheels rising...

He saw the dazzling golden light bursting forth!

And then...

His hair stood on end!

His eyes widened in shock!

The crisis of death enveloped him completely!

His entire body, the Curse Copper Corpse, glowed with a brilliant ancient copper light, and the thick stream of death energy surged. He took a step, transforming into a bell.

But just as the copper glow began to circulate...

A sharp pain suddenly shot through his chest!

That five-colored divine light that had appeared in the distance...

In less than a breath, it had pierced through the chest of his Curse Copper Corpse, tearing through its formidable defense with terrifying penetrating power!

A shrill scream.

His physical body instantly exploded into a ball of blood, and the blood beads that were torn off seemed to scatter like Bodhi beads, clattering and splattering everywhere!

At this moment...

Shangguan Zhengheng heard a thunderous sound tearing through the air!

Li Qingshan, wearing the Cat Face Mask, flashed to the side of Shangguan Zhengheng, whose Curse Copper Corpse body had been shattered, and blood misted around him.

Aiming at his defenseless head, Li Qingshan swung his hammer!

Bang!

His skull exploded, blood and flesh flew, and brain matter splattered!

At this moment, Li Qingshan was truly horrified, his hammer-wielding hand trembling slightly.

"Fuck!"

"So this is the Ox Demon's friend... Horse Face?!"

"Such a fast shot!"
