Chapter 165: Xi Xi, the Great Emperor, Descends, Dragon Touches Jade, Spiritual Spear Draws the Purple Qi Dragon

Bang!!!

A violent roar reverberated!

The massive purple Dragon God illusion, which almost completely enveloped Xi Xi, suddenly stiffened...

Then, like dissipating smoke, it rapidly shot backwards.

With a loud thud, it slammed into the ground, tearing countless cracked stone gullies on the green stone surface of the large courtyard!

At this moment, Xi Xi's figure was finally exposed to everyone's eyes.

Purple flames entwined around Xi Xi's arms, and her entire arm seemed to have turned purple!

A purple flood dragon coiled around her arm!

The dancing purple fire, like the flood dragon's breath, made the air scorching hot in an instant!

Xi Xi's forehead bore a purple flame snake spear tattoo, as lifelike as if a real snake had been carved into her brow.

It was as if a tiny snake had been engraved into her forehead!

Her eyes also blazed with purple fire, and the spreading flames directly transformed and suppressed the golden flames of the Golden Hellfire Lotus Body, turning them into purple flames!

Xi Xi's eyes opened and closed, and her tiny leg maintained a forward-kicking stance.

The terrifying dragon god that had transformed from the young marquis Ji Haihui was, just now, sent flying by her kick!

Xi Xi's purple eyes blazed with fire, and she looked disdainfully at the young marquis Ji Haihui, who was only ten zhang away from her!

In the instant she retracted her kicking foot—

The moment she touched the ground—

It was like a huge rock had been thrown into a lake!

Boom!

Xi Xi's body suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful aura.

Whoosh!

The wind howled, turning into giant waves, forming concentric ripples that spread out in all directions!

Not a single extra word was spoken.

Xi Xi, tiny as she was, suddenly took a step forward, instantly transforming into a purple flash of lightning!

Fast!

So fast it was unbelievable!

In the blink of an eye, she appeared before the young marquis Ji Haihui, who had just stabilized his stance.

The purple flames flickered, and in that instant, the oppressive feeling around Xi Xi was like a crushing mountain, fiercely pressing down on the young marquis Ji Haihui.

Then it transformed into a chubby fist clenched by a plump hand!

The young marquis Ji Haihui, having been kicked flying, was stunned, and in that moment of confusion—

His eyes, filled with purple intent, completely fell into madness, as if an unknown stimulus had ignited the flames in his blood, thoroughly kindled by the purple flames before him!

He couldn't control it...

He couldn't control it at all!

Ji Haihui completely lost his will, and the purple Dragon God illusion became more and more condensed, almost completely obscuring Ji Haihui's figure!

A dragon claw extended, striking towards Xi Xi's punching fist!

Two purple blurs collided!

Instantly, they exploded, spreading countless purple ripples, scorching hot!

It was as if thunder rumbled and dragons roared.

The booming sound of the air blast seemed to have emptied the air above the courtyard!

Bang!

The young marquis Ji Haihui's "dragon claw" instantly shattered, as if pierced by a terrifying force.

However, countless purple intents spread out, recondensing into a dragon claw, fiercely whipping down!

Thud!

The ground instantly caved in, and countless shattered green stones flew sideways, sand and gravel swirling!

But Xi Xi's tiny foot gently tapped the ground, and like a leaf blown by a strong wind, she swiftly teleported.

She appeared behind the young marquis, twisted her waist, and swiftly moved her body, making a slapping sound...

Her foot struck the young marquis, sending his massive body flying with a powerful kick.

It was as if kicking a balloon, effortless and carefree!

Xi Xi's tiny body seemed to float like a hydrogen balloon, her toes lightly tapping as she gracefully teleported.

So agile!

Her speed was too fast to capture.

The young marquis roared, his entire body covered in thick purple intent!

His human form was no longer discernible.

In those bizarre purple eyes, a surge of ferocity and... fear appeared!

It was as if the fear hidden deep within his bloodline had awakened.

Bang, bang, bang!

Counterattack!

The dragon god illusion transformed from the young marquis burst out at high speed, the dragon's sharp fangs bared, purple qi swirling as it whipped up a gale, roaring!

He sprinted, each step powerful and heavy!

The air churned, and dust and sand swirled.

The entire courtyard shook violently, as if it would be completely overturned!

The tremors sent ripples through the air and the sound waves conducted through it, making those standing at the courtyard's edge feel as if they were being struck by electric currents, numbing their bodies.

Hai Chao Sheng, Gong Yuan Liang, Gong Yang Xiu, and others didn't even have time to cheer for Xi Xi. Their hearts trembled, and they stumbled backward in shock!

Is this a battle between a four-year-old and a five-year-old child?

You're both just brats, why are you so strong?!

Too powerful!

The little fatty stopped stuffing food into his mouth, his face twitching uncontrollably.

"Is this bloodline talent? How terrifying... The Martial Saint bloodline is truly this scary?"

The little fatty gasped.

"Not... not only is it the bloodline of the Martial Saint Ji Mo, but also that of his mother..."

Yun E, standing beside him, spoke softly.

"It's rumored that the mother of this young marquis, Ji Haihui, is an overseas dragon girl!"

Yun E said.

The little fatty's face twitched: "Overseas dragon girl?! Not human? My goodness, is Ji Mo's taste so heavy?"

Yun E shook her head: "Of course, this is just a rumor. It's hard to say whether the young marquis's mother is really an overseas dragon girl..."

"The Pacification King has kept this rumor tightly under wraps, and only a few top-tier powerhouses know the truth."

"But now, judging from the young marquis's bloodline talent... this rumor is most likely true."

On the other side.

Nan Li Huo, Wang Ku Yu, and others were also startled by the intensity of the current battle.

The fight between these two little ones was even comparable to a clash between Venerable Masters! At least, in terms of explosive power and destructive force, they were almost on par!

Even that intangible oppressive aura would be difficult for an ordinary Venerable Master to resist, and they would easily be killed! They were like two little monsters!

The two of them combined aren't even ten years old yet!

Wang Ku Yu frowned, his eyes revealing surprise: "What's going on here?"

"Could it be... that Xi Xi also has... bloodline talent?" Wang Kuyu took a deep breath, unable to help but voice his thoughts.

Looking at Xi Xi, who was currently dominating the Young Marquis, he couldn't help but make such a speculation.

Nan Li Huo's eyes flickered, and he shook his head slightly.

"Bloodline talent... it's impossible."

"Li Che and Zhang Ya, their bloodlines are very ordinary, and even... not noble."

"Could it be because of the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Wrathful Third Prince's Strange Temple?" Nan Li Huo muttered to himself.

He thought of Xi Xi's talent displayed in the Golden Divine Temple.

His heart couldn't help but wonder if Xi Xi's bloodline... had changed within the Golden Divine Temple?

He didn't consider the possibility of Xi Xi obtaining the Four Supreme Mythical Armament.

That would be too exaggerated.

But he had sent Xi Xi into the Golden Divine Temple, and that time, Xi Xi had brought out a Divine Butterfly and caused strange changes to the Heavenly King Tower Gate.

"Could it be... this is divine affinity?"

"Xi Xi's divine affinity gained in the Golden Divine Temple!" Nan Li Huo said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kuyu suddenly realized.

That's right!

This little girl must have entered the Golden Divine Temple! When Xi Xi rose to the 21st rank on the Taoist City's Divine Child Ranking, it shook the entire city.

Now it seems, everything makes sense!

Nan Li Huo's eyes shone with clarity, and Wang Kuyu looked over, both understanding each other's thoughts.

That's right!

Divine Affinity!

A situation where the Temple Deity highly favors someone, creating an inexplicable connection and affinity with the Temple Deity, matching the Temple Deity's eye.

This is Divine Affinity!

"If this is truly the case... this Temple Deity Resonance... Xi Xi might have a chance to claim the top spot!"

...

Golden Light Peak, a hundred zhang away.

Lu Yao and the Inspector, both fell into silence.

Looking at the sudden turn of events on the large plaza, they were momentarily speechless, unable to pinpoint the reason.

"Li Guest Scholar, are you a hidden Martial Saint?" Lu Yao glanced at Li Che and joked.

Without the bloodline of a Martial Saint, how could this little girl be so powerful? Li Che smiled, his eyes sparkling, as he had guessed the specific reason.

The Thunderbolt Chess Piece he had left within Xi Xi finally sensed the Purple Flame Spear hidden in Xi Xi's arm stirring! This Four Supreme Mythical Armament was naturally beyond Xi Xi's current ability to control.

But...

It's different when it activates on its own! Li Che rubbed his chin, entering research mode.

Could the power of the dragon activate the Purple Flame Spear? Perhaps... this is a way to help Xi Xi master the Fire Needle Spear?

...

Everyone fell silent.

On the large plaza, only the raging currents of their clash remained, howling and swirling!

Xi Xi's purple flame in her brow flickered.

The purple flames in Xi Xi's eyes suddenly surged, and she felt incredibly powerful!

The small gun in her arm continuously unleashed its power! Xi Xi felt herself becoming stronger than ever! Xi Xi's strength brought transformation!

With a babyish shout, she pressed down with both arms, her body soared into the air, and her chubby little feet gently touched the ground, which was barely holding together.

Suspended in the air, she faced the purple ferocious dragon shadow of the Young Marquis and stomped down heavily!

Boom—!

The purple qi exploded, like a water-filled balloon bursting!

The roaring purple dragon head instantly shattered.

However, after the explosion, countless purple qi swiftly gathered as if taking root.

But as the dragon head re-condensed.

Xi Xi, using the momentum from stomping on the dragon head, had already flipped and rode on the back of the purple dragon shadow.

Her two tender feet lifted, and her toes even happily twitched a few times! Xi Xi riding a dragon!

So happy!

From now on, Xi Xi had a new hobby!

Fighting, riding dragons, and setting off fireworks!

Roar—!

The purple dragon transformed by the Young Marquis roared and thrashed, struggling continuously!

The newly condensed dragon head opened and closed, spewing out scorching waves!

"Ya—!"

"Behave!" Xi Xi shouted.

The next moment, she raised her arm, and translucent purple light flashed on it, with purple flames dancing and brilliant light.

Within her small body, there was an incredibly terrifying power!

She punched out fiercely!

The punch was like a mountain collapse!

It heavily struck the neck of the dragon shadow transformed by the Young Marquis, and the entire dragon shadow seemed to encounter an overwhelming pressure.

With a loud thud...

It was as if the dragon shadow had thrown itself to the ground.

The ground instantly caved in more than a foot, and spider web-like cracks radiated out, instantly revealing a hideous bloom!

From above, it looked like a purple flower blooming!

Mud and stones surged, spreading across the entire plaza, with a deafening roar, an awe-inspiring sight!

Countless clouds of dust rose, instantly obscuring the surroundings like a curtain!

It blocked everyone's vision.

Then, there were screams, struggles, like dragon roars, and pig squeals...

It was as if an enormous loach was writhing and rolling in the mud.

Boom! The ground shook again...

Dust and debris spread like a gentle wave.

Boom! Boom! Boom!! Continuous explosions, like a giant hammer, pounding on something...

That sound made one's scalp numb and their body go soft.

In the distance.

Grandmaster Xue Dufu's expression changed.

Such a battle situation was beyond his imagination...

The Young Marquis, Ji Haihui, was being suppressed to this extent, even pinned to the ground and beaten!

But Ji Haihui had unleashed his bloodline talent!

Xue Dufu's expression was extremely unpleasant, and his eyes flashed with indecision.

He was torn between intervening or not.

After all, if he intervened and blocked, what if the Young Marquis turned the tables? Xue Dufu's aura surged, his hair standing on end, the powerful grandmaster's blood qi roared, and he was torn internally.

As Xue Dufu made his move, Wang Ku Yu, standing before the temple, flicked his sleeve and formed a hand seal.

The two Grandmasters were secretly competing with each other.

However, they only engaged in this silent contest, as the true outcome would depend on the struggle between Xi Xi and the Young Marquis.

Neither of them used their Divine Perception to probe the situation.

Instead, they relied solely on their eyesight to observe the billowing smoke and dust. But in the end, Xue Dufu couldn't hold back.

He let out a cold snort and suddenly flicked his sleeve, releasing a burst of Qi without any lethal force.

In an instant, the surging smoke and dust were blown away, revealing the scene within.

The picture became clear.

Xue Dufu's eyes widened, his hair stood on end, and cold sweat soaked his back, dampening his clothes.

At that moment, the six black-armored soldiers gasped, and in the next instant, they drew their horse-cutting sabers from their backs, the blades flashing with a sharp and awe-inspiring killing intent that swept across the entire scene.

Li Qing Shan glared at the six soldiers, his eyes wide, as he gripped his horned hammer and thunderously roared at the Left Minister.

Zhang Qing Zheng rolled up his sleeves, exposing his back, and his body emanated a vast and mighty Divine Essence.

Zhu Hong Dou was even more fiery and fierce, and the red tassels on her spear seemed ready to burst into flames.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and charged.

The colliding auras of the Divine Appearance powerhouses resembled crashing waves, creating countless white breakers!

A thousand feet away, Lu Yao's eyes flashed, and he flicked his sleeve, enveloping Li Che and Tang Ren. The Inspector, on the other hand, calmly played the erhu as they all leaped across and landed gracefully.

"Tao City's Heavenly Observation Inspector Deputy... Lu Yao!" Xue Dufu's eyes narrowed, and he gripped the firewood blade at his waist, speaking in a cold voice.

"What? The Heavenly Observation Bureau is an official force of the Great Jing Dynasty. Are you aiding the Divine Sect in oppressing the Young Marquis? Are you not afraid of the Prince settling scores later?" Xue Dufu spoke coldly, immediately throwing a huge accusation.

Lu Yao, like Wang Ku Yu, was a Divine Essence True Person, and even more difficult to deal with than Wang Ku Yu.

Wang Ku Yu was known for his good nature and dislike of fighting.

Moreover, his recent breakthrough made him a newly advanced Divine Essence True Person, giving Xue Dufu some advantage.

However, Lu Yao was different. As Tao City's Heavenly Observation Inspector Deputy, he had also broken through to the Divine Essence stage, and his foundation far surpassed Wang Ku Yu's.

Only with Lu Yao's appearance did Xue Dufu feel immense pressure.

Li Che landed on the large plaza in front of the temple, his face extremely solemn.

He took in the scene and let out a slight sigh.

The sight was truly terrifying.

The purple dragon shadow had disappeared, and the previously arrogant Young Marquis, Ji Haihui, was now lying face down on the ground with his clothes torn and covered in cracks, while Xi Xi sat on his back.

Although the hidden Divine Weapon armor protected his body, each of Xi Xi's punches was met with the armor's defensive power.

But the invisible protective force was now covered in cracks and almost shattered by the hammer blows.

Ji Haihui was utterly disheveled, like a mud-covered monkey.

His eyes were vacant, as if they had lost their shine.

Seemingly aware of the surrounding gazes, Xi Xi reluctantly got up, saying, "So hard."

Then, she punched the Divine Weapon armor's automatic protection illusion, causing the protective force to shatter completely, like glass breaking into pieces on the ground.

Ji Haihui's head was buried deep in the rubble.

His small body lay motionless.

Xi Xi quickly jumped up.

Would this require compensation? Xi Xi's big eyes rolled as she looked at the Young Marquis lying on the ground.

Her chubby little hand reached for the Young Marquis's waist.

Li Che's mouth twitched.

This posture... so familiar, just like the first time she touched a corpse.

"Niu Niu's master said that after defeating an opponent, we should take their Heaven-Earth Jade as a trophy!" Xi Xi squatted, her little buttocks facing upward, as she muttered.

"How dare you!" Xue Dufu was furious. He took a step forward, and his overwhelming aura instantly appeared beside Xi Xi, who was about to touch the Young Marquis Ji Haihui's waist to take his Heaven-Earth Jade.

Xue Dufu loomed over her like a tiger eyeing a fledgling bird.

However, before Xi Xi could feel suffocated, she felt the world spinning, and when her vision cleared, she found herself beside Li Che.

Lu Yao had intervened, gently flicking his sleeve to bring Xi Xi to Li Che's side.

"A mere child dares to roar at a Grandmaster of the Blood Qi Martial Dao. It's truly embarrassing." Lu Yao's black hair fell smoothly, and he spoke calmly.

Xue Dufu's sleeve swayed in the wind, but he didn't seem to mind Xi Xi being taken away.

He had only intended to scare Xi Xi away.

After beating up the Young Marquis, she still wanted to take his Heaven-Earth Jade. This was unacceptable!

Having already lost face, if the Young Marquis's Heaven-Earth Jade were taken by Xi Xi, the Young Marquis's reputation... would be trampled into the mud.

If this news reached the ears of the Pacifying Chaos King, Ji Mo Li, who was currently suppressing the rebellion...

Xue Dufu would surely be blamed for dereliction of duty and stripped of his position!

"This girl not only defeated the Young Marquis but also wants to take his Heaven-Earth Jade. Such humiliation... how can I stand by and let the Young Marquis suffer?" Xue Dufu said coldly.

He calmly met Lu Yao's gaze, unafraid.

With the Pacifying Chaos King, Ji Mo Li, backing him, he naturally had a formidable backing.

Xue Dufu also understood why the Heavenly Observation Bureau's Lu Yao chose to side with the Divine Sect...

It was also because of the Prince.

The Prince's prolonged suppression of the rebellion in Jizhou, and the Corpse God Sect's continued growth...

The court... had begun to suspect the Prince.

However, at this moment, Xue Dufu had to show his strength.

"Lu Yao, you, a mere Tao City's Heavenly Observation Inspector Deputy, dare to bully the Young Marquis. If it were the Capital's Heavenly Observation Inspector Deputy, that would be another matter. When the Prince hears of this, you'll face his wrath!" Xue Dufu picked up the Young Marquis, who was pretending to be unconscious, from the ground.

(End of Chapter)

At this moment, Lu Yao stood tall with a stern expression, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Lu Yao and Wang Kuyu, two individuals facing off.

"Even if this matter reaches the ears of the Marquis, I, Lu Yao, fear nothing. Li Warm Xi is the daughter of the Second-Class Guest Scholar of the Capital Heavenly Observation Inspector Deputy. As the Deputy Inspector, protecting her life is only natural."

"Even if this causes an uproar in the capital, I am in the right."

Lu Yao's hair and beard fluttered in the wind as he stood with his hands behind his back.

"Furthermore..."

"When defeated, one must admit failure. Having the Heaven-Earth Jade taken from your waist can only mean your skills are inferior."

"As the saying goes, practice makes perfect."

Lu Yao spoke without any courtesy, showing no deference to Xue Dufu, the Grandmaster under Ji Mo Li.

After all, in the ranking of Grandmasters under Ji Mo Li, Xue Dufu couldn't even make it into the top five...

Xue Dufu's face turned ashen, and the six Black Armored Guards also drew their Horse Cutting Sabers, their collective aura forming a unique military might.

However, it was only a standoff.

Because with a wave of Nan Li Huo's hand, the entire Heavenly Origin Golden Light Subsect's peaks erupted with energy.

There were Illusory Forms, Divine Foundations...

The sect's inner disciples were fearless.

Li Qing Zheng was especially hot-tempered and wanted to charge out.

But he was stopped by Weng Wuyu.

"Impetuous, don't escalate the conflict. Do you really want to keep the opponent here?" Weng Wuyu said in an old and stern voice, "We're just putting on a show... maintaining our dignity."

"The Temple Deity Resonance Conference is about to begin, and no one wants to cause a big scene."

Li Qing Zheng reluctantly put away his Horn Hammer.

On the mountain peak, the snow fell in mournful flurries.

Xue Dufu, with his one arm, held the Young Marquis, taking a deep breath.

"Good, good, good... what a Divine Child of Golden Light Mansion."

"Good, Heavenly Origin Golden Light Subsect!"

Xue Dufu exclaimed 'good' three times, then turned and took a heavy step down while holding the Young Marquis.

The entire Golden Light Peak seemed to tremble.

His entire body launched forward, carrying the Young Marquis and arcing through the air towards the city province.

The six Black Armored Guards also retreated into the air.

Xi Xi, held in Li Che's embrace, couldn't help but struggle.

"Why are you running away? Remember to keep your promise!"

"Xi Xi is waiting for you, little servant!" Xi Xi shouted.

Li Che quickly patted her head.

Xi Xi immediately hugged her head, looking pitiful.

"Daddy, it hurts..."

Li Che said with a stern expression, "What did your daddy teach you? Don't be a hero outside, be low-key. What if you encounter an unbeatable opponent and get beaten up?"

Xi Xi's eyes welled up with tears, her small mouth pouted, and her chubby cheeks puffed out.

"Daddy, Xi Xi's hand hurts..."

Xi Xi looked small and pitiful.

"Your hand hurts? Let daddy see!"

Upon hearing this, Li Che's expression changed slightly.

He grabbed Xi Xi's plump arm, which was like a lotus root, that she extended towards him.

After all, the Fire Needle Spear within Xi Xi's body had activated on its own. Li Che was concerned that it might affect Xi Xi.

The Spiritual Spear had chosen Xi Xi as its master, and although Xi Xi couldn't wield it, the spear wouldn't harm its master.

A faint light emanated from Xi Xi's cinnabar field.

Heavenly Ascension Technique... Star-Gazing Eye!

Li Che couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after a quick glance.

Because... Xi Xi's arm had completely transformed!

The strength and resilience of her flesh were far greater than before!

The tendons, skin, and muscles of Xi Xi's arm, which housed the spear, were now even more robust than those of Li Che, the Crucible Grandmaster!

The power of the Spiritual Spear was overflowing and affecting Xi Xi!

Similar to... Washing Bones and Marrow!

This was simply...

Li Che's heart trembled. The Four Guardian Divine Weapons... had such an effect?

No, it should be said that the Mythical Armament had such an effect?

For Martial Dao cultivation, this was an incredible blessing!

Li Che's eyes flashed with realization, as if he had just understood something.

No wonder in this era, the Martial Dao had reached new heights, before the emergence of Divine Essence Techniques and the spread of Mysterious Temple.

Reaching the Grandmaster level in Blood Qi Martial Dao was extremely challenging.

But now, even those surpassing the Martial Saint level had appeared!

Li Che speculated that this might be related to the potential enhancement of these Spiritual Weapons on the physical body!

He wondered if the Mythical Armament he obtained, the Heaven-Crossing Face, also had such a powerful effect on the physical body?

However, his Heaven-Crossing Face was a fragmented Mythical Armament...

Perhaps he would have to wait until he obtained a complete Mythical Armament.

After confirming Xi Xi was unharmed.

Li Che finally breathed a sigh of relief, his heart at ease.

This little girl... was quite a scare.

When Xi Xi said she was in pain, Li Che's heart tightened.

He thought she had been injured by the Grandmaster Xue Dufu...

His murderous intent nearly erupted.

However, even now, Li Che's murderous intent hadn't faded.

Li Che carefully examined Xi Xi again, not just her arm, but her entire body.

Only when he confirmed that Xi Xi was in an unprecedentedly good condition did he truly relax.

Xi Xi's fist was slightly red, probably from the excitement of pounding it.

Additionally, under Li Che's Star-Gazing Eye perception, the Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire Needle Spear within Xi Xi's arm, after beating the Dragon God Purple Eye Young Marquis, sank into silence, bored.

Li Che even sensed the opponent's disappointment and boredom.

As if...

Disappointed that this dragon was a fake, not the one it wanted to draw out...

Unsatisfied.

Li Che: "..."

He seemed to feel a wave of personality rushing towards him.

However, Li Che's Star-Gazing Eye shone slightly.

He saw the Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire Needle Spear within Xi Xi's arm, and from its tip, a wisp of purple qi resembling a dragon emerged...

Thin and long, it coiled endlessly, with scales like a crocodile's, a body like a dragon's, and two horns like a dragon's!

The purple qi wafted continuously, coiling like incense smoke.

End of Chapter.
