Chapter 209: Bull Demon's Triple Blast Shocks Dao City, Three Flowers Dance at the Summit

Chapter 209: Bull Demon's Triple Blast Shocks Dao City, Three Flowers Dance at the Summit

Caw, caw, caw!

Black crows flapped their wings frantically, fleeing in terror from the dense forest, along with numerous early spring birds that had just awakened.

It was as if they had encountered an extremely terrifying force!

Fear was evident in the eyes of every bird, as if slowing down their wing beats by half a beat would result in their bodies being shattered, dragged into an abyss thousands of feet deep!

In the forest, the trees were illuminated, and the strong wind howled like a raging tide!

A colossal statue of a Thousand-Armed Guanyin appeared out of thin air, crashing down onto the ground, sinking deep into the soft, snow-covered earth.

The lotus platform stretched across, and beneath it, countless wheels spun rapidly, sending mud and sand flying into the air.

Li Che wore the Bull Demon mask, his black hair billowing, and his ink-colored robe fluttering in the wind.

His clothes bulged, stretched taut by the muscles beneath, and his powerful tendons quivered like raging dragons roaring in anger.

Qi and divine essence surged out of his body, pouring into the Bodhimanda Lotus Main Battle Tank.

The Thousand-Armed Guanyin's arms formed a pile in front of her, creating a wave of force that pushed forward.

Li Che's eyes were cold and indifferent, with a hint of ferocity.

In the Heaven and Earth Chessboard perspective inside the Bodhimanda Lotus Main Battle Tank, the scene aligned with his own vision.

The "Ten" character seal, symbolizing slaughter, was aimed horizontally.

A terrifying wave of energy raged, causing the ground to collapse, and countless cracks to open up, devouring the mud and sand.

"Little Demon..."

The adorable Cute Ox mask had a vertical eye in the middle of its forehead, revealing a vertical eye filled with murderous intent.

Li Che was a protective father.

Having just arrived in Dao City, he wasn't entirely sure about the situation within the city, including the number of powerful cultivators and the reach of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard. He didn't know if he would be detected.

Li Che was unsure about everything.

Given his cautious nature, he shouldn't have acted so rashly.

But his protective nature justified his actions! For the sake of his daughter, Li Che chose to take the initiative and strike first.

Although he couldn't shove the cannon barrel into the demon's mouth and blow it up, he wanted to make it feel threatened.

Li Che knew that this blast might not be enough to kill the demon, but whether it would die or not was another matter.

Whether he would blast it or not was up to him, Li Che!

Boom! Fire!

His eyes suddenly erupted with dazzling golden electric lights, and his entire body's qi seemed to be instantly devoured, pouring into the Bodhimanda Lotus Main Battle Tank.

"Boom—!!!

In an instant, a terrifying blast of energy erupted from the gaps between the piled arms of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, spewing out a scorching white wave that instantly dried up the melted snow and water on the ground, hardening the soil.

It was as if an angry dragon was roaring in the wind!

The chilly spring breeze was shattered in an instant, turning into a misty haze.

Two more giant snowballs, each the size of a watermelon and containing the power of a hundred Divine Form Divine Essence Chess Pieces, were thrown into the Bodhimanda Lotus Main Battle Tank by Li Che.

One blast wasn't enough!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The golden light, almost blue due to its incredible speed, exploded again with dazzling brilliance!

In an instant, the sky lit up, and the brilliance of the three blasts seemed to eclipse even the sun high in the sky!

Three golden beams of light tore through the sky, scorching, boiling, and obliterating everything in their path.

The air distorted and was pierced through.

Wherever the beams passed, the spring breeze and cold air were stopped in their tracks, and even the sky seemed to be cut by three terrifying, scorching cannonballs.

The sound of the explosion was deafening, and the shockwave from the blast caused the ground to shatter and collapse, cracking and splitting apart!

The surrounding trees groaned under the strain, their branches bending and breaking.

The golden light formed a neat procession.

It was like the tail of a comet, tearing through the sky.

On the official road, the galloping dragon horses suddenly went weak in the knees, filled with terror. Some ordinary horses were so scared that they collapsed on the ground, causing chaos among the carriages on the road.

The carriages from Jin Guang Prefecture, pulled by dragon horses, quickly regained control.

However, the chaos affected the other carriages as well.

The official road was in disarray, with horses neighing and howling in pain, and some carriages tipping over and crashing to the ground.

In one of the carriages from Jin Guang Prefecture, Jiao Shao Qiu suddenly opened his eyes, and his figure appeared on top of the carriage.

On another carriage, Wei He stood guard, hands behind his back, his black hair fluttering in the wind.

"What...what is this?" Wei He asked in astonishment.

On the other side, Jiao Shao Qiu, Lu Yao, Wang Ku Yu, and Zhu Chao Yang felt their scalps tingle.

They were all too familiar with this.

After leaving Jin Guang Prefecture, their caravan had been attacked by professional Jin Mian assassins from the Hunter God Pavilion.

A golden light had appeared, followed by a mushroom cloud that soared to a height of a hundred meters, releasing a terrifying, violent, and annihilating energy.

It wasn't hard to guess that this was the work of the Netherworld.

The Hunter God Pavilion must have reached an agreement with the Corpse Deity Sect to attack the caravan together. Otherwise, the Hunter God Pavilion wouldn't have sent just five Jin Mian assassins out of sheer recklessness.

As a result, they were all annihilated on the spot.

It was likely that the Netherworld had released that mushroom cloud, directly wiping out the Corpse Deity Sect members they had agreed to work with.

So...

"Is the Netherworld attacking Dao City?" Lu Yao muttered.

His head buzzed, his scalp tingled, and his mouth felt dry.

This was crazy!

The Netherworld was going to turn the world upside down!

Who were these madmen?

They were directly attacking Dao City!

Dao City, you've really pissed off some people, haven't you? Not only Li Qingshan, but all the cultivators from Jin Guang Prefecture who witnessed this terrifying mushroom cloud fireworks felt a chill run down their spines.

Li Qingshan had already climbed out of the carriage, gaping at the spectacle.

Such an intense event seemed unrelated to him, but Xi Xi in the carriage couldn't contain her excitement, clapping her hands in anticipation.

"Fireworks!"

"Let's set off some fireworks!"

...

...

Qianyuan Dao City stood tall and majestic, its walls soaring like a mountain range, dark and imposing.

The Divine Guard Army soldiers, clad in armor and wielding weapons, looked up in confusion and bewilderment as three comets with fiery tails streaked across the sky.

They were unsure how to respond.

Boom! An incredibly powerful surge of energy erupted, and among the Divine Guard Army, a figure surrounded by blood and essence, as if connected to the very heavens and earth, took a step forward, causing the entire wall to tremble.

He leaped into the sky.

But the speed of the three shells was too fast...

Like three enraged dragons, they carried an indescribable might, akin to raging wildfires, spreading like a conflagration!

"Archers!"

The Divine Guard Army's commander, a Grand Grandmaster who had achieved unity with heaven and earth, frowned.

He felt an intense sense of crisis wash over him.

However, as the commander, he took action.

Buzz! A divine sword at his waist was unsheathed, and in an instant, hundreds of sword auras merged into one, forming a massive sword shadow that flipped and slashed towards a golden Guanyin statue emitting intense light.

The commander intended to block this shell, and then use the momentum to intercept the other two.

But the moment his sword touched the Guanyin statue...

A chilling sense of crisis and fear surged, like a dam breaking, unleashing a torrent of the Yellow River that engulfed him!

An extreme crisis swept over him like a tidal wave!

The explosion detonated in mid-air!

It was like a colossal golden fire lotus blooming, unleashing a powerful shockwave that raged and rolled.

Meanwhile, the other two shells shifted, as if controlled, dodging and continuing their trajectory towards the city.

Amid the fiery explosion, a figure emerged, surrounded by golden True Essence, looking disheveled.

He turned and saw...

Two magnificent mushroom clouds blossomed within the ancient Dao City.

The commander stood there, stunned.

Dao City...

Had been bombed.

...

...

In a vast courtyard with flowing streams and elegant buildings, a young man named Mo Tong rode a slender girl, holding her ponytail, his eyes filled with excitement as he gazed at the sky.

She's here...

His wife has arrived!

The lotus flower tattoo on his forehead trembled, a feedback, a prompt, a spiritual connection.

He sensed his wife's arrival.

However, his excitement didn't last long.

His eyes, surrounded by dark circles, narrowed.

Two golden comets with fiery tails streaked down, fast as lightning.

"What's this?"

Mo Tong's eyes widened, a hint of confusion flashing across his face.

He had spent time in Qin Feng Huo's body, living in Jin Guang Prefecture.

He had witnessed the terrifying mushroom cloud fireworks that destroyed the Hunter Pavilion in the Netherworld.

But in Mo Tong's memory, the mushroom cloud fireworks couldn't achieve long-range attacks. They needed to be delivered by spirit cranes to the target's location and then thrown from high above.

This was how the Netherworld had wiped out the Hunter Pavilion's observation post in Jin Guang Prefecture.

But...

This golden light...

Mo Tong's hair stood on end!

Boom! A terrifying explosion shook the heavens and earth!

But the golden light had already appeared above the vast, luxurious garden estate.

Mo Tong felt a sense of dizziness.

It was as if golden petals were falling, and the earth was filled with golden lotuses. Guanyin, with her fingers pinched, smiled kindly, chanting the mantra for rebirth.

"Come out! Save me!"

Mo Tong broke into a cold sweat, shaking uncontrollably. The slender girl beneath him had already collapsed, her body limp and powerless.

Mo Tong couldn't even move a muscle; he was frozen in fear.

It was the terror of being targeted.

His muscles seemed to stiffen, and within him, a powerful presence mixed with his heart, pounding violently!

Boom! Three figures with bodies shimmering in golden light appeared, emitting dense death and corpse energies, blocking the shells above the estate.

They were three Golden Corpses, comparable to Grand Grandmasters, standing fearlessly in the way of the shells!

Mo Tong was terrified, as if Death itself stared him in the eye.

He muttered, "The Netherworld will let you die at midnight, and no one dares to keep you alive till dawn."

This reminded him of the scene and memory of Qin Feng Huo's body being decapitated against his will when he tried to escape from Jin Guang Prefecture.

He fell off the girl, shivering uncontrollably, his body trembling.

Boom! An explosion as bright as the sun detonated in mid-air.

Two mushroom clouds blossomed!

Three Golden Corpses, fearless of death, used their bodies to block the shells' explosion!

The distorted Guanyin face shattered, breaking into pieces, and countless frenzied and violent divine essences poured out!

As the mushroom clouds formed, the cascading energy waves were too powerful even for the Golden Corpses' True Essence to withstand!

Boom! The flowing streams and elegant buildings in the estate were hit head-on, shattering into countless pieces, with dust and debris flying everywhere, like a cold spring rain.

Within Dao City, powerful divine perceptions swept in.

The air froze, and the flying dust and sand seemed to pause.

Many divine perceptions wavered, clearly astonished and shocked that shells fired from dozens of miles away could create such a massive explosion.

As these divine perceptions observed, the scene unfolded: golden pillars of light crisscrossed the sky, colliding with the Golden Corpses' True Essence, detonating in mid-air.

The powerful air currents raged in the sky, and the domineering shockwaves and scorching waves rolled and surged.

"Such powerful divine essences... The divine essences are so intense that they cause a terrifying explosion when rubbed together, radiating powerful corrosive divine essence waves!"

"What a technique!"

"Is this an automaton technique?"

"Boom!"

Countless powerful divine perceptions clashed and intertwined in the void, like a crowd of onlookers chatting with each hand.

"Huh?! The Corpse Deity Sect?!"

"Wow!"

"You're asking for it!"

...

Many divine perceptions collided, and some seemed to discover something, becoming astonished and agitated.

The Corpse Deity Sect...

In Dao City, they were the hated rats that everyone wanted to beat up. No one wanted to be associated with the Corpse Deity Sect.

However, the Corpse Deity Sect's concealment methods were truly formidable. A single Corpse Deity Pearl could seal all death energy, corpse energy, and the seals of corpse curses within.

Usually, if they didn't reveal their evil techniques, they would appear no different from normal cultivators.

Therefore, finding the evil people of the Corpse Deity Sect was not an easy task.

Unless they mobilized the Divine Embryo Realm's experts, but...

Even in Dao City, the Divine Embryo Realm experts were like towering peaks, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, often entering the Obscure Tower and cutting off contact with the outside world.

Why would they bother with the Corpse Deity Sect's evil people?

Two mushroom clouds exploded, revealing three cursed golden corpses of the Corpse Deity Sect. Even in Dao City, this was a big catch!

Boom, boom, boom!

Powerful divine essence auras raged.

Strong cultivators in Dao City took action.

...

...

A thunderous explosion, like a giant bell, reverberated in the sky.

The shockwaves and impact rippled outward, like a raging torrent, roaring and swirling in reverse.

The crowd exclaimed in awe.

At the elegant balcony of a luxurious building.

A group of figures rushed out, including Dao City's aristocratic youths, wealthy merchants, and outer disciples of the Divine Sect...

They curiously leaned over the railing, watching the two mushroom clouds blooming and exploding in the distance.

In the storm.

Su Hu Li's robes flapped in the wind, and his entire body gripped the railing, his veins popping out.

These fireworks...

He was too familiar with them!

It was like the emblem of the Netherworld!

It was as if the entire Dao City was presented with the Netherworld's arrival, announcing...

The Netherworld has arrived!

Long Tai, clad in armor, approached Su Hu Li. He squinted, gazing at the dazzling fireworks and the raging power, marveling in amazement.

"This violent divine essence is comparable to a Primordial Soul Transformation expert, using a bombing divine technique with all their might."

"And it's incredibly fast, carrying a powerful impact."

"Those three cursed golden corpses might take a hit."

"Plus, the residual waves... If the divine essence power was enhanced, it would be a formidable weapon."

"It's even more terrifying on the battlefield, one blast, and it's all over."

Long Tai's eyes gleamed.

Su Hu Li's body trembled, and his neck stiffened as he looked at Long Tai.

"Long Tai, do you think... can you block these mushroom clouds?"

Long Tai was taken aback.

Then, he twitched his lips.

He stared at Su Hu Li in disbelief.

"Can I ask the General for sick leave now?"

...

...

The howling wind blew, and the heat rose.

Li Che's hair flew in the wind, wearing a cute ox mask, his eyes shining.

He slowly exhaled.

"Ahh—"

"That's refreshing."

First, regardless of whether they could kill or not.

With these three blasts, Li Che felt relieved.

It was enough to intimidate the Demon Child and expose his identity as an evil person of the Corpse Deity Sect, even if it didn't kill him.

It could also cause considerable trouble.

Hmm? Li Che's Star-Snatching Pupil beneath the ox mask suddenly twitched.

The next moment, he launched himself, instantly retracting the Bodhimanda Battle Tank.

His body spun in the air, and his five fingers clenched.

A white flying thunder chess piece was grasped in his palm.

Once he completely gripped the chess piece, his entire body had already returned to the carriage's interior.

And after the Ox Demon disappeared.

An incredibly terrifying pressure descended, and countless trees were instantly bent to the ground, unable to rebound.

A golden-armored divine general appeared, shooting forward like a meteor, with three golden flowers burning on his shoulders and head, swirling continuously.

The golden-armored divine general slowly opened his eyes, and his terrifying blood essence resembled golden blades, sweeping through the area.

Clap, clap, clap, clap! Countless trees were cut at the waist, exploding and flying high!

Rustle, rustle...

Soil, broken wood chips, and tree branches rained down.

The golden-armored divine general's powerful divine perception swept through, accompanied by a booming sound.

"He's gone?"

"He escaped so fast?"

"Plus, his perception is sharp."

"He's a slippery one."

A faint voice came from his mouth.

Then, the golden-armored divine general hovered in the air, his gaze falling on the soft ground, where a giant lotus-shaped depression had formed.

"The Netherworld Su Hu Li mentioned?"

"The bold and reckless madman who killed the teacher's offspring."

The golden-armored divine general twisted his neck, and countless golden lightning bolts danced wildly, followed by a charred smell.

His figure disappeared.

...

...

The mushroom cloud slowly descended and dissipated in the air.

The Ox Demon's wild hair calmed, and his heart, which had been pounding, returned to a normal rhythm. His blue-faced fangs returned to a peaceful state.

He exhaled and scanned the courtyard, which was in disarray.

His face turned ashen.

"The Netherworld..."

"This is a show of force..."

"The ones sent to capture the lady are probably all dead."

"So ruthless, so ruthless, Netherworld!"

"Are you teaching me a lesson? Why? Because of the lady?"

The Ox Demon revealed sharp corpse teeth, his appearance becoming more violent and cruel.

He seemed a bit insane.

As the fireworks blossomed in the sky, a dazzling display of colors rained down.

His body trembled slightly, overcome with excitement and madness.

"Such a lady... is so much more flavorful!"

He bit his finger, and a drop of dark blood fell, instantly forming a pool on the ground.

He continuously formed hand seals, reciting scriptures.

Slowly, the pool of blood began to spin, and the blood water splashed and collided, creating a blood-red mist.

Within the blood pool, a powerful Corpse God Will emerged, and in an instant, a blood-red giant hand burst out, grabbing his feet and pulling him into the pool.

The blood pool then disappeared without a trace.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three Cursed Golden Corpses fell from the sky, crashing onto the ground and shattering the courtyard, causing countless bricks to explode.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Steam rose, and the three Cursed Golden Corpses emitted uncontrollable Corpse Curses, covering their bodies. They had hideous expressions, and their bodies were partially scorched, with their skin and flesh peeling away.

One of them, a Corpse God Cultist who had just reached the level of a Cursed Golden Corpse, had half of his body burned and mangled, his wounds corroded by a powerful Corrosive Divine Essence.

This Cursed Golden Corpse had suffered near-fatal injuries! However, the three of them worked together, barely managing to withstand the terrifying explosion of the mushroom fireworks.

But they sensed something amiss.

The Demon Child used the Blood Pool Secret Art and fled.

However, they had exposed their identities, as the thick Death Energy and Corpse Energy intertwined around them, making escape impossible.

Above Dao City, numerous powerful auras raged.

Temple Governor, Heavenly Observation Bureau, Qianyuan Divine Sect's Surveillance Peak, Divine Guard Army...

Experts from various major powers swarmed in, almost overwhelming them without any courtesy.

...

...

...

Inside the carriage, Li Che removed his mask and leaned against the carriage wall, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard already shrunk and hidden away.

"So strong..."

"Dao City... is indeed much larger than Jin Guang Prefecture."

"Fortunately, the Flying Thunder Chess Piece's teleportation has no restrictions or delay, otherwise... if I was a moment slower, that expert would have located me!"

Li Che wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The Bodhimanda Lotus Battle Tank's cannon blast was indeed powerful, and if someone was paying close attention, they could still sense his location.

However, Li Che's escape technique was also top-notch.

"That Martial Dao Will... seems to be the [Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing the Divine], but compared to Ji Haihui, it's far, far stronger."

"It's even stronger than Ji Mo Li's Martial Saint Will, mainly because this person's raw strength far surpasses the Martial Saint Will."

"Is Ji Mo Li's disciple, Yu Li Qing, the one guarding Dao City?"

"Su Hu Li must have come to Dao City to seek refuge with this person."

So strong...

He is definitely a top-tier Supreme Grandmaster with three flowers blooming, and now, Li Che is no match for him.

However, in Li Che's chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit throbbed vigorously.

It was a mix of anticipation, excitement, and longing for a battle!

Li Che covered his mouth, telling himself to hold back for now.

He, Li Che, was a father and couldn't afford to take risks.

He had a family to take care of.

Calming himself, Li Che leaned back against the carriage.

"Not enough... still not enough..."

"At least five hundred or more pieces of the Thousand-Handed Bodhimanda Fire Cannon with Divine Essence Chess Pieces at the power of the Great Snow Avalance Guanyin Lotus Blast are needed to severely injure a Heaven-Man Fusion Grandmaster and a Golden Body Transformation Divine Essence True Immortal."

"However, if I use Divine Transformation-level Divine Essence Chess Pieces, a hundred pieces should be enough..."

"The Divine Transformation-level Divine Essence Chess Pieces I've accumulated to kill Shadow Guard True Immortal, Huang Xi Long, and Yuan Jin Gang... I have enough for one bombardment."

"There's also another issue... the Thousand-Handed Cannon may not withstand a hundred pieces of Divine Transformation-level Chess Pieces at the power of the Great Snow Avalance... The Flame God Wrath Dragon Wood material is good, but it may not hold up to the blast."

Li Che closed his eyes, reflecting on this bombing experience.

Bombing Dao City was indeed thrilling.

However, the effect wasn't as significant as he'd hoped.

To truly bomb Dao City to the point of shaking the entire city, more was needed.

"Spirit Wood... materials... Divine Transformation-level Divine Essence Chess Pieces..."

Li Che leaned against the soft backrest of the carriage and exhaled slowly.

"I need to quickly integrate the Yin and Yang Wandering Souls into the Divine Craft Cannonballs..."

"Also, I should try to combine the explosions of the Yin and Yang Wandering Souls and the Great Snow Avalance... The collision of these two distinct powers should result in unimaginable might!"

Li Che's eyes widened, shining brightly.

The Divine Craft Dao Fruit throbbed, inspiring new ideas in Li Che.

The group returned to the carriage, and Li Che, always a team player, along with his curious Immortal in Painting clone, also returned to the carriage.

The carriage resumed its journey.

Li Che sat in the carriage, triggering the Divine Craft Dao Fruit, and during this stimulated state, he continued his research.

About half a day later, the Jin Guang Prefecture's carriage finally arrived before an awe-inspiring city.

However, just as the Jin Guang Prefecture's carriage was about to enter the city under Jiao Shao Qiu's influence, without the need for inspection...

"Hold on."

A faint voice echoed.

Then, a terrifying aura swept through, and above the city walls, a giant white-headed purple-eyed eagle appeared.

On the back of the eagle was a golden-armored divine general with his arms crossed.

Intense eyes swept down, and in an instant, all noise ceased.

Boom!

A golden light descended.

The ground shook.

Yu Li Qing, in his golden armor, had landed, blocking the Jin Guang Prefecture's carriage.
