Chapter 127: Four-Wheel Divine Foundation Unveiled, Five-Colored Divine Light Summons the King of He

Chapter 127: Four-Wheel Divine Foundation Unveiled, Five-Colored Divine Light Summons the King of Hell

Divine Appearance...

Beads of sweat on Shangguan Zhengheng's forehead seemed to freeze, stiffly hanging on his face.

An invisible force appeared between heaven and earth, causing the air to flow with extreme slowness and stagnation.

Shangguan Zhengheng stood above the river, the waves undulating as if he could sense the hidden currents beneath the surface.

The night wind was chilling, brushing past his cheeks.

Every inch of his body felt frozen.

But soon, a sinister look appeared in Shangguan Zhengheng's eyes.

Why would a Divine Appearance cultivator make a move?

Could it be that his secret was exposed?

Impossible! He had always been low-key, and he never used the 'Corpse Curse Technique' outside. On the surface, he was the charismatic and talented head of the Shangguan Family.

With the backing of the Divine Appearance Patriarch, which Divine Appearance expert would suddenly target him?

It didn't make sense! However, Shangguan Zhengheng was not willing to surrender without a fight.

His roar seemed to make the entire river boil, and the blood in his body grew colder, as if it had lost all warmth, turning into the temperature of a corpse. All the heat was drawn out, and the bronze hue on his physical body became more pronounced.

"Hmm? Still want to struggle?"

A faint voice drifted from all directions, and the pressure was like a surging tide, overwhelming everything.

Shangguan Zhengheng spread his arms, and every inch of his muscles trembled. His neck twisted and contorted, suddenly lifting his head high, and a low roar exploded from his mouth.

He forcibly tore through the oppressive pressure that made it hard for the Divine Appearance cultivator to breathe!

The oppressive pressure that made it difficult for a Divine Appearance cultivator to breathe!

A dark bronze glow surged from his flesh and blood, and the deathly energy emanating from every inch of his skin and flesh was so thick it made one nauseous.

Facing the attack of the Divine Appearance cultivator, Shangguan Zhengheng's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.

A palm-sized wooden statue, imbued with divine essence, suddenly appeared and was crushed without hesitation by Shangguan Zhengheng.

In an instant, a divine essence surged!

"You want to kill me?"

"It's not that easy!"

Shangguan Zhengheng let out a cold laugh.

After the shattered wooden statue exploded, countless divine essences soared into the sky, accompanied by a raging wind that seemed to inflate a balloon. It transformed into a complete Divine Appearance statue.

An incredibly clear Divine Appearance statue appeared high in the sky, exuding an intensely terrifying emotion. In an instant, it burst forth like a scorching sun.

Lin Xiu's cold laughter echoed between heaven and earth.

It was not surprising that Shangguan Zhengheng crushed the Divine Appearance wooden statue without hesitation.

An illusory form facing a true Divine Appearance cultivator would always have an insurmountable gap in their cultivation stages.

If Shangguan Zhengheng dared to test his luck and use his newly acquired Cursed Copper Corpse against this Divine Appearance cultivator, he would likely be crushed.

It was normal for a family head to possess a Divine Appearance statue, which was created by a Divine Appearance cultivator spending a large amount of divine essence to infuse their own Divine Appearance into the wood, requiring a significant consumption of their essence, energy, and spirit.

A Divine Appearance cultivator could only create up to three such statues; any more would affect their cultivation.

Although the head of the Fishing Gang was a Divine Appearance cultivator, it was unlikely that he would create a Divine Appearance statue for a deputy head who was neither a relative nor a close friend.

Therefore, Liu Jinsong, the deputy head of the Fishing Gang, did not have a Divine Appearance statue to save his life.

Li Qingshan had anticipated this situation, which was why he called upon Lin Xiu, a Divine Appearance cultivator, to ensure success.

Obtaining assistance from their own patriarch's Divine Appearance was normal.

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

Boom! He stomped heavily, and in an instant, he was like a thousand-pound boulder thrown into a vast lake, causing a tremendous uproar.

Amidst the raging gusts of wind, Shangguan Zhengheng's face was cold, and his body transformed into a Cursed Copper Corpse, ferociously breaking through the layers of waves.

"Let's end this quickly; there's no point in dragging it out!"

"We must act before the elders of the Shangguan Family arrive and complicate matters."

A faint voice resounded.

Shangguan Zhengheng took a heavy step forward, and his eyes instantly erupted with murderous intent.

He already knew who it was.

"Li Qingshan!"

"It's you... Li Qingshan!"

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

The hazy river mist surged.

"How dare you!"

A furious roar echoed.

In the next moment, the roar abruptly stopped!

The mist was torn apart, and a figure emerged, tearing through the mist. His hunched body suddenly straightened, and countless bolts of lightning intertwined!

A hammer with a horned handle slid out of his sleeve, arcing through the air, and countless bolts of lightning intertwined behind Li Qingshan, forming a divine shadow with eagle wings and a blue-faced fanged god!

"How dare you?"

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

"Shangguan Zhengheng! How many innocent lives have you taken?!"

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

Those who had dealings with the Corpse Deity Sect must die!

Boom! Shangguan Zhengheng crossed his arms to block, and the horned hammer struck his body. His body, almost completely transformed into a Cursed Copper Corpse, resonated with the sound of an ancient bell.

The rippling airflow exploded into concentric shockwaves...

His body was flung out, and Shangguan Zhengheng fell heavily onto the river surface, his legs tearing through the water and creating two white wakes. A look of joy appeared on his face.

"The Horned Heaven Shattering Hammer is just this powerful..."

He had blocked it! Shangguan Zhengheng was overjoyed.

Li Qingshan's Horned Hammer was renowned throughout the Capital City for its power.

How many experts had it crushed? But now... he actually blocked it with his physical body!

His physical body could already be considered a Cursed Copper Corpse, just a hair's breadth away from entering the realm. Although he was just a hair's breadth away, it seemed to have little impact.

Li Qingshan...

He couldn't be killed!

"Hahaha, Horned Heaven Shattering Hammer, just an empty name!"

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

He escaped towards the direction of the Shangguan Family.

There was no thought of engaging in a bloody battle with Li Qingshan, as above him was a True Divine Appearance Cultivator blocked by the Divine Oracle Statue of the Patriarch.

Although the Divine Oracle Statue was an incarnation of the Patriarch's Divine Appearance, it couldn't hold him off for long!

Escape was the wisest decision.

Even if his cultivation of the Corpse Curse Technique was exposed, with the Patriarch's backing, the worst that could happen was losing his position as the family head and leaving Golden Light City.

What could Li Qingshan do to him? As a powerful figure in the Capital City, he still held influence. Even if Li Qingshan obtained evidence of his crimes, what could he do? If evidence alone could sentence someone to death, there wouldn't be so many wrongful convictions in the world!

Although Li Qingshan had discovered his cultivation of the Corpse Curse Technique and summoned a Divine Appearance Cultivator to kill him, as long as he could escape, there was still a chance!

Li Qingshan was determined not to let Shangguan Zhengheng get away, and he knew that if Shangguan Zhengheng survived, with the relationship between the Five Great Clans and the City Lord's Mansion, it would be difficult to punish Shangguan Zhengheng.

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

"Stay and face me!"

Li Qingshan roared in anger, and countless thunderbolts intertwined and entangled! With a thunderous roar and glaring eyes, he unleashed the Horned Evil-Subduing Hammer!

Boom!

Shangguan Zhengheng was smashed away again, flying over the river's surface and creating a white wake.

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

"You're not a Divine Appearance Cultivator, and I've cultivated the Cursed Copper Corpse. You can't kill me now! Hahaha!"

Li Qingshan remained silent.

His physical body trembled, and the three-headed angry dragon roared as he unleashed the supreme technique, Eight Serpents Swirling River!

True qi surged and boiled, creating a raging wave that rose like a curtain several zhang high! He gripped the Horned Heaven Shattering Hammer and struck again!

If one hammer couldn't break it, then two or three hammers would!

Sooner or later, he would smash you to pieces!

...

...

Splash!

The river water was torn apart.

On the other side, the battle erupted with astonishing force in the blink of an eye.

However, the crossbow bolt that Shangguan Zhengheng had thrown out at the beginning was almost completely ignored by everyone, but it suddenly burst forth with terrifying speed, shooting towards the small boat like a speedboat!

On the small boat, the girl wearing a squirrel mask desperately activated the divine talisman, causing the boat to accelerate.

But Shangguan Zhengheng was an Illusory Form Cultivator who had also cultivated the Cursed Copper Corpse of the Corpse Deity Sect, possessing unmatched and domineering strength. The crossbow bolt he threw out was almost as fast as the bolt she had shot with her divine talisman crossbow.

The sound of the bolt cutting through the air was dazzling, 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 towards her!

"I'm going to die!"

Under the squirrel mask, Shangguan Qinghong's face turned deathly pale, and her eyes revealed a hint of despair.

Indeed...

Was it still impossible?

She had planned countless times to assassinate Shangguan Zhengheng.

Although Shangguan Zhengheng was her biological father, she hated him with a passion 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 mind.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The divine talisman crossbow she had prepared was her ultimate killing move.

It was the only means with her cultivation that could threaten Shangguan Zhengheng.

Her mastery of divine talismans was taught to her by Lin Xiu, a Divine Appearance Master in the art of divine talismans. Lin Xiu's divine talisman craftsmanship was exquisite, and he took in Shangguan Qinghong not only out of pity but also because he recognized her talent in divine talismans.

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

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

Shangguan Qinghong sat in the small boat, her body cold. The divine crossbow bolts shot at her carried Shangguan Zhengheng's Extreme Terror Soul Snatcher's divine essence.

As the divine crossbow approached, the pressure from the Illusory Form realm oppressed 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 overwhelming. Even the squirrel mask couldn't withstand this terrifying aura, and it shattered with dense cracks!

Shangguan Qinghong's beautiful and elegant face was revealed, but it was deathly pale.

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

Shangguan Qinghong was unwilling to accept this. She wasn't afraid of her own death, but she was unwilling... to fail in killing Shangguan Zhengheng, that beast!

However, just when she thought she couldn't avoid the fate of being pierced by the divine crossbow bolt...

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

Shangguan Qinghong abruptly turned her head and saw a figure in the distance, a tall silhouette on the river's surface.

Wearing a Maface mask, he strode across the waves, drawing his bow and shooting an arrow!

Boom—!

The moment the arrow left the Xuanlei Furious Bow, a large patch of wind and thunder exploded.

Shangguan Qinghong only felt that the sounds of ghostly wails, furious dragons' roars, and wind and thunder filled her ears incessantly.

Whoosh—!

Hundred Demons Crying Thunder Arrow!

The arrow seemed to streak like a flash of light.

It collided with the Divine Bow that Shangguan Zhengheng had thrown and returned!

The divine essence contained within the arrow and the crossbow bolt clashed and erupted!

Boom!

The invisible shockwave spread out in concentric circles, and the surging river water rose high on both sides, with countless splashes of water shattered into powder.

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

Silently, it plunged into the river's surface and shot straight towards the riverbed.

"Hmm?"

Shangguan Qinghong panted heavily, her chest heaving violently. Her eyes still carried the terror of being between life and death.

Not dead...

The crossbow bolt had been deflected by an arrow!

That arrow was a life-saving arrow!

Shangguan Qinghong felt her whole body detach, and she slumped onto the boat, panting heavily.

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

"Borrowing your boat for a moment."

Maface said calmly.

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

However, Maface did not respond to her.

Standing on the boat, the gaze beneath the Maface mask was extremely deep and sharp.

The next moment, he took out the "Namu Divine Craft Barrett." Compared to the last time when he shot and killed Qin Yuqing, the Divine Craft Barrett had been significantly improved by him.

Its power was now even more formidable than before.

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

Shangguan Zhengheng, an Illusory Form cultivator, had a Cursed Copper Corpse body...

"Sniping might be a bit difficult."

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

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

The shocked Shangguan Qinghong behind him gasped, taking a deep breath.

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

That archer who had shot and killed Qin Yuqing of the Qin family from dozens of miles away!

Turns out... it wasn't the Demon Ox who killed Qin Yuqing! The case is solved! Shangguan Qinghong felt like she had discovered a big secret!

Maface...

The killer of Qin Yuqing was none other than Maface!

What is he doing now? Shangguan Qinghong had the feeling of being a fan, and she stood up, not daring to breathe.

She watched as Maface loaded that strange hidden weapon into a peculiar mechanism.

It looked like a bow, but not quite, and a crossbow, but not quite...

Even the Divine Charm Bow couldn't kill Shangguan Zhengheng. Could this mechanism in Maface's hand, which didn't seem very powerful, be of any use?

The news of Qin Yuqing's death from a long-range shot had spread far and wide, but Shangguan Zhengheng was not of the same caliber as Qin Yuqing.

"Senior, do you want to try enhancing the power of the Divine Charm?"

Shangguan Qinghong asked tentatively.

The gaze behind the Maface mask finally shifted slightly, looking at Shangguan Qinghong.

Divine Charm?

A thought flashed through Li Che's mind.

However, in the end, he shook his head.

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

If it weakened the damage, it would be counterproductive.

Moreover, the fusion of the Divine Charm and the Barrett might require various experiments and adjustments.

It wasn't as simple as just using it.

Li Che declined Shangguan Qinghong's suggestion.

After that, he held his breath and focused.

Ignoring Shangguan Qinghong, Li Che, wearing the Maface mask, exhaled slowly. In an instant, his spirit and energy were concentrated into a single thread.

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

This man was an enormous threat.

Not only had he yelled at his daughter Xixi, but he also harbored inappropriate thoughts towards his daughter-in-law.

Death was not enough!

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

Li Che would not let this chance slip by.

Therefore, he would use his most powerful method...

Sniper, Maface!

Ready...

...

...

Maface suddenly raised the Divine Craft Barrett in his hand and crouched on the boat. The ripples on the river caused the boat to rock, but it remained steady as if cemented in place.

Divine essence emanated from Maface's body, and the boat became as solid as a rock.

Intense killing intent seeped out from Maface's body.

In his chest, the Chess Sage Fruit trembled and pulsated.

Suddenly, the heavenly chessboard expanded, with the boat on the Nine Dragons River as the star position, intersecting vertically and horizontally.

Within the chessboard, several breaths were distinct and powerful.

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

Apparently, Shangguan Zhengheng's killing intent towards Li Che was extremely intense.

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

And I want to kill you.

It's a two-way street.

The Divine Craft Barrett was engraved with numerous patterns, which were somewhat similar to the runes on the Divine Charm. These patterns could gather and store divine essence! This was also the reason why Li Che's improved Divine Craft Barrett had its power increased by a whole level!

The heavens and earth... suddenly became quiet.

The only sound left was the rhythmic breathing of Li Qingshan.

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

Shangguan Zhengheng, with his head covered, ran towards the riverbank with all his might, undoubtedly aiming to rush back to the Shangguan family's mansion and seek the protection of the Divine Form grandmaster.

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

Therefore...

Li Qingshan held nothing back.

However, the Cursed Copper Corpse was even more troublesome and resilient than the Cursed Iron Corpse, enduring several of Li Qingshan's hammer blows without any apparent effect.

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

With a fierce swing, he smashed it down like a furious dragon roaring, striking Shangguan Zhengheng, who had transformed into a Cursed Copper Corpse.

Shangguan Zhengheng's physical body twisted in an eerie manner, but its formidable hardness and resilience kept him from dying.

He was launched like a cannonball, slamming 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 glowed with bronze light, accompanied by a dense aura of death.

He was about to escape again.

Just as he landed after flipping over...

Mafen, who was five hundred zhang away, suddenly focused his gaze.

Now was the moment!

Within the chessboard of heaven and earth, a pitch-black Temple Deity Divinity Chess Piece appeared before Mafen, exploding with a bang and transforming into thick black gas. It enveloped the bullet, Dragon Tooth Bodhi, causing black smoke to emanate from it.

The aura soared!

Divine Sense locked onto Shangguan Zhengheng's aura within the chessboard!

"This shot..."

"Four-Wheel Divine Foundation... All bloom!"

"I'll send you..."

"To meet the King of Hell!"

Li Qingshan took a deep breath, and the world fell silent.

"Boom!"

He abruptly pulled the trigger!

Instantly, the Cat Face Mask cracked at the center of Mafen's forehead. Within his Inner Scene, the four wheels of the Divine Foundation appeared simultaneously behind him.

Divine Essence... overwhelming!

Three-Eyed Wrathful True Monarch, Wrathful Cry Ghost Suppression, Suspended Thought Flowing Sword, Heart Shocking Steel!

Anger, sorrow, thought, and shock!

The four wheels of the Divine Foundation, like grinding discs, bloomed behind Mafen, resembling a mandala opening in hell. The surging Divine Essence gushed out, flowing into the Divine Craft Barrett.

It was as if a charging sound echoed, "Duuuu," continuously accumulating energy. Shangguan Qinghong's legs went soft, and he slumped onto the small boat, his eyes wide as if devoid of divine light, staring at the four Divine Foundations that had appeared...

How could a single person possess four wheels of the Divine Foundation?!

Is this a human?

Is this a human?!

Boom!

The terrifying blast created sound waves that nearly reached Li Qingshan at the same time. The crimson Barrett intertwined with five colors, including the four colors of the supreme divine armaments and a black aura from the Dragon Tooth Bodhi's Temple Deity.

It was like a peacock facing the morning sun, spreading its tail!

An incredibly powerful shockwave erupted from the gun barrel, followed by the Dragon Tooth Bodhi, which was infused with the Five-Colored Divine Light.

The entire boat violently shook, nearly exploding from the terrifying counter-shockwave. Countless cracks appeared on its surface.

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

Layer upon layer of curtains of water surged up and rapidly fell around them.

A dazzling golden light suddenly flashed and vanished, followed by...

The scorching Dragon Tooth Bodhi burst forth, enveloped in the Five-Colored Divine Light!

Breaking through the sound barrier, it pierced through the air!

...

...

Shangguan Zhengheng laughed heartily, his body radiating bronze light. The lightning was completely shaken off by his flesh and blood, thoroughly dispelling it.

He blocked Li Qingshan's hammer once again, feeling incredibly refreshed. Although he couldn't defeat Li Qingshan...

... Li Qingshan couldn't break through his defense and kill him!

As long as he didn't act recklessly and focused on escaping to the Shangguan family's mansion to seek the grandmaster's protection, he wouldn't die!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion shook the distant boat.

Shangguan Zhengheng vaguely saw the four wheels of the Divine Foundation rising...

He saw the dazzling golden light bursting forth...

His hair stood on end!

His eyes widened in shock!

The crisis of death enveloped him. His entire body, the Cursed Copper Corpse, emanated dazzling ancient bronze light, accompanied by a dense aura of death. Taking a step, he transformed into a Golden Bell.

But just as the bronze light circulated...

A sharp pain shot through his chest!

The Five-Colored Divine Light that had appeared in the distance...

In less than a breath, it pierced through his Cursed Copper Corpse's chest, tearing through its formidable defense with terrifying penetrating power!

A shrill scream echoed.

His physical body instantly exploded into clouds of blood mist!

Blood droplets, like Bodhi tears, splattered everywhere.

At this moment...

Shangguan Zhengheng finally heard the sound of the air being torn apart, like a thunderclap.

Li Qingshan, wearing the Cat Face Mask, appeared beside Shangguan Zhengheng, whose Cursed Copper Corpse's body had been shattered, and blood mist enveloped him.

Aiming at his defenseless head, Li Qingshan struck with his hammer!

Bang!

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

Only then did Li Qingshan feel horrified, his hammer-wielding hand trembling slightly.

"Damn!"

"This is the Demon Ox's friend... Mafen?!"

"Such a fast shot!"

Please support with monthly votes, recommendations, and follows! Li Qingshan thanks you!
