Chapter 149: Five Dragon Teeth Power Enters the Divine Form, the Horse Face's Lotus Bomb Mushroom (Part 1)
In the depths of the forest, Li Che wore a horse face mask, his hand gripping the Immortal Craft Barrett. Having consecutively sniped several Dragon Tooth Bodhi bullets in a short time, the barrel of the Immortal Craft Barrett was struggling to bear the strain, showing signs of wear and tear.
"The Immortal Craft Barrett... needs an upgrade," Li Che thought as he retracted the mechanism.
"The last two Dragon Tooth Bodhi bullets, with pure firepower suppression, managed to suppress Wen Longshan's arrows," he recalled.
"I hit him, but he didn't die."
"Wen Longshan's physical body is not weak, and the power of the Dragon Tooth Bodhi bullets is ultimately lacking. Moreover, Su Huaili is watching nearby, so it's unrealistic for me to teleport and sneak attack him."
Li Che had a strong urge to teleport the moment the Dragon Tooth Bodhi bullet hit its target, but Su Huaili was right next to Wen Longshan, and this suspected Primordial Incarnation with a Primordial Spirit was extremely threatening.
Facing two opponents, Li Che could only retreat.
"The Dragon Tooth Bodhi bullets need to be improved and upgraded faster. I need to find a way to incorporate the Great Avalanche. The pure flesh-tearing effect of the Bodhi Blood Tears is no longer sufficient. A mid-stage Grandmaster martial artist can easily control their flesh and blood to suppress the killing power of the Bodhi threads."
"There's also the penetration effect. When the opponent is wearing defensive divine armor, the effect is even weaker. It takes two shots of the Eight Extremes low-grade divine armor, and they must hit the same spot consecutively."
"It's not an easy task, and the failure rate is extremely high."
Li Che's thoughts briefly replayed in his mind, and his brows furrowed beneath the horse face mask.
He was not satisfied with the results of his sniping.
Although the mid-range duel ended with the horse face penetrating the opponent, it was just a penetration.
Li Che had originally intended to shoot and kill Wen Longshan.
The two fatal Dragon Tooth bullets were aimed directly at his glabella and mud pill palace.
Unfortunately, the greater the distance, even with the precise guidance of the Sage of Chess's Dao Fruit, there was still a chance of error.
Moreover, Wen Longshan was not a stationary target.
He would move.
"Improving the firepower equipment is an urgent matter."
Li Che exhaled.
"The key to improving the Immortal Craft Barrett lies in Spirit Wood..."
"Divine Eagle Ridge... I hope it won't let me down."
His words seemed to dissipate like a gentle breeze in the vastness of heaven and earth.
Li Che's figure once again propelled forward, changing positions. As a sniper, he needed to find a new hiding spot.
He located another concealed position and descended silently, making no sound.
His Pure Mind Spirit condensed into painting paper, merging divine aura with qi and blood, creating the Painter of Immortals with a brushstroke!
With a grab of his five fingers, he pulled out an Immortal Craft Barrett from the painting paper.
The Immortal Craft Barrett created by the Painter of Immortals could be used, but its durability was even lower.
The painted Immortal Craft Barrett could only withstand about two Dragon Tooth Bodhi bullets before disintegrating into ink mist.
He set up the sniper rifle.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded once more.
Sensing and aiming, he perceived the world as a chessboard, with everything within his sight.
No matter how extraordinary Wen Longshan's Eagle Eye Divine Technique was, how could it compare to the all-encompassing vision of the Sage of Chess? While keeping a close eye on Wen Longshan, he also locked onto the direction of Zhen Lei Peak.
The horse face from the underworld...
Tonight, he would let the world witness the sight of blood.
Let the world know...
That his horse face was not just a divine archer, but...
A divine sniper.
...
...
Click-clack, click-clack—
Thunder rumbled!
An enormous thunder deity descended upon the summit of Zhen Lei Peak, unleashing a terrifying electromagnetic storm.
The ground trembled as the thunderous blasts shattered the rocks.
Li Qingshan stood motionless, gripping the Ram's Horn Heaven-Splitting Hammer. His hair stood on end, and his green robe was torn to shreds by the thunder, leaving only his pants and a muscular upper body!
In the late Grandmaster stage, with robust qi and blood and powerful true qi, Li Qingshan's divine foundation was completely carved into the Suspensive Thought Thunder Punishment Vajra...
This meant that Li Qingshan's divine form breakthrough was just one step away! The final step was to incorporate the carved divine form...
Into his body!
This was also the most dangerous step.
Long ago, Li Qingshan had explained to Li Che that cultivating the divine foundation also required a strong physical body. One needed to reach the mid-stage Grandmaster level of qi and blood cultivation to safely enter the divine foundation realm.
The same principle applied to the divine form realm.
To firmly establish oneself in the divine form realm, one's qi and blood cultivation must reach at least the mid-stage Grandmaster level; even the initial stage Grandmaster was not secure.
If one was sculpting the Seven Elements Divine Form, the Grandmaster Posterior Realm cultivation was sufficient. However, if one wished to condense the Six Ministries Divine Form...
The Grandmaster Posterior Realm cultivation was still lacking.
The risk was extremely high. If one's physical body couldn't bear the formidable strength of the Six Ministries Divine Form, they might be overwhelmed by the rampant divine aura, shattering their spirit, and becoming a slave to the divine aura.
Every year, countless cultivators encountered mishaps during their divine aura cultivation, falling into a demonic path and becoming enslaved by the divine aura.
In the end, their qi and blood would be slowly drained.
It could be said that Li Qingshan was walking a tightrope. Many people doubted Li Qingshan for this very reason.
The Six Ministries Divine Form had too high a position.
Correspondingly, it required an even stronger physical body to bear it! Or... some divine artifacts specifically designed to enhance the physical body for survival! But Li Qingshan had none of these!
Boom!
In the surrounding void, the divine aura of the divine form cultivators surged like waves, constantly crashing against each other.
Various divine forms clashed, creating a dazzling display of divine aura.
Nan Lihuo and the Supervisor, the two Primordial Incarnation elders, suppressed the three Seven Elements Corpse God Messengers from the Corpse Deity Sect. Every time the Supervisor made a move, the erhu would play by itself.
However, neither Nan Lihuo nor the Supervisor relaxed, as they knew these three Corpse God Messengers were holding back, not exerting their full strength.
They were keeping an eye on Li Qingshan's breakthrough.
If they judged that Li Qingshan could successfully incorporate the Six Ministries Divine Form into his body...
Then these three Seven Elements Corpse God Messengers would likely reveal their true abilities at the moment Li Qingshan was about to succeed.
After all, the Seven Elements Corpse God Messengers... had condensed the silver aura unique to Curse Silver Corpses! This aura was comparable to the divine aura of a Grand Master!
On the other side, Zhu Hongdou's battle intent soared. Her Crimson Emperor Flame God Divine Form was the type that grew stronger with each battle, and once she entered a combat state, she would go completely berserk.
There was no such thing as holding back, as the masked Divine Image cultivator dressed in night-traveling attire unleashed a barrage of attacks.
The cultivator roared in anger, "Zhu Hongdou, why are you targeting me?!"
Zhu Hongdou's eyes were crimson, and flames blazed within them. Behind her, the Fire Elemental Crimson Emperor Flame Divine Manifestation stood tall and proud, filled with disdain.
"Old man Shangguan Jie, don't think that just because you're wearing a mask, I won't recognize you."
"Last time, to put on a pitiful act in front of Xixi, I let you hit me once. This time... I will definitely kill you, you old dog! Prepare to die!"
Zhu Hongdou pointed her spear, which spewed fire, and flames rose.
She charged furiously towards the masked Shangguan Jie.
Shangguan Jie was truly infuriated!
They were all Divine Image cultivators of Golden Light City, and they could recognize each other's cultivation. Wearing a mask and night-traveling attire was merely a way to maintain a semblance of civility without completely breaking ties.
Zhang Qingzheng, Weng Wuyu, Lin Xiu, and the Heavenly Observation Inspectorate Inspector wearing a goat mask were all just going through the motions of combat.
Only Zhu Hongdou, like a husky with its tail stepped on, confronted Shangguan Jie with a life-or-death fighting stance.
You really don't understand social etiquette, woman!
Shangguan Jie didn't have the energy to pay attention to Li Qingshan's situation and could only focus on defending himself.
Zhu Hongdou was going all out, truly fighting with her life on the line!
Although Shangguan Jie was at the Intermediate Divine Image Stage, he dared not underestimate Zhu Hongdou, who was at the Initial Divine Image Stage...
After all, Zhu Hongdou's Divine Image had been tempered to the level of the Six Ministries!
...
...
The electric snakes raged, and the rain poured down like pillars.
Wen Longshan was drenched by the rain, washing away much of the bloody stench on his body.
His face was a bit dazed as he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, looking somewhat unpleasant.
Su Huili sat there, holding a cup, and poured a cup of tea for Wen Longshan.
"Colonel Longshan, your defeat was not due to your skills, but because that Horse Face used Mechanism Art, not true archery."
"You were defeated by the Mechanism Art, not archery."
"So, what's there to be disheartened about?"
Su Huili said with a smile, his eyebrows raised, exuding a bit of arrogance.
Upon hearing this, Wen Longshan's mood improved, and the blood hole in his chest kept writhing. A moment later, countless Bodhi threads split open, and he squeezed them out, letting them fall to the ground.
"This is very similar to Tang Clan's Mechanism Art..."
"In their heyday, the Tang Clan's Mechanism Art, combined with their terrifying automaton beasts, even threatened Divine Embryo Realm cultivators. They certainly weren't just famous for no reason."
"Being defeated by the Tang Clan's Mechanism Art isn't something to be ashamed of."
Su Huili picked up a Bodhi thread and said indifferently.
"This Horse Face seems to be related to the Tang Clan, or rather... the forces behind the Bull Demon Horse Face are connected to the Tang Clan?"
Su Huili furrowed his brows.
"A dying snake still has its strength, and they are indeed very resilient."
"However, the Tang Clan has long been destroyed. What waves can a small clan like them create?"
An invisible force burst forth, and the Bodhi thread was directly burned and vanished into nothingness.
"That Divine Embryo Ancestor of the Tang Clan was killed by my master with a single sword, and their most prized automaton beast, a Five Elders-level one, was also captured by my master."
A faint smile appeared on Su Huili's lips.
"They're just a bunch of pathetic remnants."
Wen Longshan's heart trembled slightly, and a flash of fervor appeared in his eyes. "The Prince is indeed the Martial Saint of this era, naturally powerful."
A hint of admiration also flashed in Su Huili's eyes.
"Colonel Longshan, rest assured. This injury... you won't suffer in vain. I, as the City Lord, will definitely help you regain your reputation."
"As for this Horse Face... given the chance, I, the City Lord, will bring his head to you."
Su Huili offered comfort, trying to buy Wen Longshan's loyalty.
However, Wen Longshan's eyes narrowed, and he shook his head. "There's no need, City Lord. My ultimate archery technique, the Crimson Flame Streaming Divine Arrow Art... is about to reach the realm of perfection."
"Once I reach perfection and manifest my true intent domain, in our next encounter, I will definitely pierce through Horse Face!"
A powerful aura of confidence burst forth from Wen Longshan.
Upon hearing this, Su Huili's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"In that case, congratulations in advance, Colonel Longshan."
Wen Longshan clenched his fist and then looked towards Zhen Lei Peak, where lightning flashed and thunder roared.
"City Lord... do you still need to take action?"
Wen Longshan asked.
Su Huili shook his head. "There's no need."
Wen Longshan was taken aback.
"That Horse Face is targeting you. As soon as you shoot, he will snipe to obstruct you."
"Li Qingshan also knows that once he breaks through to the Divine Image Realm, he will become the target of many. That's why... he hired this Horse Face to take action."
"It was a worthwhile hire."
"This Horse Face is a top-tier assassin hidden in the darkness."
"He's comparable to the assassins of the Hunting God Pavilion."
Su Huili gently shook his teacup as he spoke.
Wen Longshan fell silent, and his heart skipped a beat.
He hadn't expected Su Huili to hold Horse Face in such high regard.
The Hunting God Pavilion... was an extremely mysterious and terrifying assassin organization.
They had even assassinated cultivators in the Divine Embryo Realm!
...Could Horse Face really be comparable to the assassins of the Hunting God Pavilion?
Su Huili glanced at him and smiled. "Of course... he's just the lowest-ranked assassin in the Hunting God Pavilion."
Wen Longshan nodded.
Su Huili looked towards Zhen Lei Peak.
"Your best opportunity to take action was interrupted by Horse Face. It's too late to stop him now."
"Li Qingshan."
"Understood."
...
...
In the dense forest.
A breath in, a breath out.
The atmosphere was incredibly calm and serene, as if gently swaying with the wind.
The rain outside the city wasn't as heavy as the rain within, and it even mixed with flakes of unmelted snow.
Li Che, wearing the Horse Face mask, crouched at a new sniping position.
Having promised Li Qingshan that he would take action tonight, Li Che naturally kept his word.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard enveloped the entire Golden Light City.
It locked onto the figures surrounding Zhen Lei Peak, one after another.
The auras of these figures were incredibly vast, as they were all Divine Image cultivators, and on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, they were like bright lamps.
