Chapter 209: Niu Mo's Triple Cannon Shocks Dao City, San Hua's Graceful Dance

Chapter 209: Niu Mo's Triple Cannon Shocks Dao City, San Hua's Graceful Dance

Caw! Caw! Caw!

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

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

Each bird's eyes revealed fear, as if a half-beat of flapping their wings would result in their bodies being shattered, and they would be dragged into a bottomless abyss!

Within the dense forest, the trees shone, and the surging wind seemed like a raging tide!

A colossal Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara statue appeared out of thin air, slamming into the ground, sinking deeply into the soft snow-covered earth.

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

Li Cheng, wearing the Niu Mo mask, had his black hair flying, and his ink-colored robe fluttering.

His clothes bulged, stretched taut by the muscles beneath, and his pulsating tendons resembled raging dragons roaring in anger.

Qi and blood, divine nature, erupted from his body, pouring into the Guan Yin seated on the lotus main battle tank.

The thousand arms of Avalokitesvara stacked in front of him, transforming into a forward-pushing shockwave gesture.

Li Cheng's gaze turned cold, even revealing a hint of ferocity!

The perspective of the celestial chessboard within the Guan Yin seated on the lotus main battle tank merged with his own.

The symbol of slaughter, a crossed "ten" seal, aimed horizontally.

Terrifying waves of energy raged, constantly howling, as the ground rumbled and countless cracks opened up around it, mud and sand collapsing and being devoured.

"Mo Tong..."

The adorable, cute cow mask had its eyebrows parted, revealing a vertical eye.

Within the vertical eye, murderous intent surged!

Li Cheng was a father who fiercely protected his daughter.

Having just arrived in Dao City, Li Cheng was actually unclear about the situation within. He didn't know how many powerful individuals there were, and whether the celestial chessboard's arrangement would be noticed.

Li Cheng was unaware of all this.

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

But according to his protective nature, this behavior was justified!

For his daughter, a single touch to his inverse scale, Li Cheng chose to take the initiative.

Although he couldn't achieve it, he wanted to stuff the cannon barrel into the demon child's mouth and then blast it apart!

But he also wanted to make this demon child feel threatened.

Although Li Cheng knew that this cannon might not be able to blast the demon child to death, whether it killed him or not was one thing.

Whether to fire or not was his, Li Cheng's, decision!

Boom!

Fire!

Suddenly, his eyes erupted with dazzling golden electric light, and his entire body's qi and blood seemed to be instantly absorbed and poured into the Guan Yin seated on the lotus main battle tank.

"Bang—!!!

In an instant!

The terrifying energy wave suddenly exploded, bursting out from the gaps between the stacked thousand arms of Avalokitesvara, forming scorching white waves that instantly dried up the melting snow and water on the ground, hardening the soil!

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

The slanting spring rain, in that instant, was shaken and shattered into a hazy mist!

Then, two consecutive watermelon-sized, snowstorm Guan Yin lotus cannons containing a hundred divine form divine nature chess pieces were thrown into the Guan Yin seated on the lotus main battle tank by Li Cheng.

One cannon wasn't enough!

Triple cannon!

Fire!

The compassionate and kind-eyed Guan Yin's eyes suddenly lit up with dazzling golden light.

The mechanism seal of the "Lin" character seemed to have been ignited.

In that instant—

It erupted with the ultimate brilliance!

Bang—!

Bang—!!!

The golden light, due to its extreme speed, seemed to trail and turn into a deep blue color!

In that moment!

The world lit up, and the flash of these three cannons seemed to cover even the rising sun high in the sky!

Three golden lights shot out one after another, tearing through the sky!

Scorching, boiling, annihilating, and seething—

The air distorted, pierced through.

Wherever it passed, spring breeze, spring rain, and piercing spring cold were all stopped in their tracks, as if the sky itself had been sliced by three terrifying, scorching cannonballs!

The sound of the explosion was deafening, and the shockwave that reflected and bounced back when the cannon fired caused the ground to explode, collapsing and shattering into pieces!

The surrounding trees all emitted unbearable cries, bending under the pressure!

The golden light formed a neat procession.

It was like the tail flame of a comet.

Shattering the sky!

...

...

On the official road.

Numerous galloping dragon horses suddenly weakened, their legs trembling with fear, starting to anxiously and restlessly stomp their hooves.

Some ordinary horses were so scared that they collapsed on the ground, causing the order of the carriages on the official road to instantly become chaotic.

The carriages from Jin Guang City were all pulled by dragon horses, so they quickly stabilized the situation.

However, the other chaotic teams still affected them.

On the official road, it was a scene of chaos!

Horses neighed and howled incessantly, and there were even sounds of carriages overturning and crashing to the ground.

Among the carriages from Jin Guang City.

Jiao Shaoqiu suddenly opened his eyes, his figure appearing on top of a carriage.

And Wei He, who was responsible for the escort, was already standing on top of another carriage at some point, standing with his hands behind his back, his black hair fluttering in the raging wind.

"What...what is this?"

Wei He was shocked and puzzled.

On the other side.

Jiao Shaoqiu, Lu Yao, Wang Kuyu, Zhu Chaoyang, and others felt their scalp tingling.

This thing...

They were all too familiar with it.

After all, after leaving Jin Guang City, their caravan had encountered an assassination attempt by the Hunter Pavilion's professional Golden Masked Killers.

At that time, there was a burst of golden light, followed by an explosion of a hundred-meter-tall mushroom cloud that was dazzlingly brilliant!

It released a terrifying, agitated, and extinction-filled mushroom cloud!

They weren't fools, and they guessed that it should be the Netherworld's doing...

The Hunter Pavilion must have reached a consensus with the Corpse God Sect to deal with the caravan together; otherwise, the Hunter Pavilion wouldn't be so foolish as to only dispatch five Golden Masked Killers for the assassination.

As a result, they were annihilated on the spot.

It should be the mushroom cloud released by the Netherworld that directly wiped out the Corpse God Sect they had agreed upon with the Hunter Pavilion.

So...

"The Netherworld is firing at Dao City?"

Lu Yao muttered.

His head buzzed.

His scalp tingled, and his mouth was dry.

No...

This Netherworld, they're going to turn the world upside down?

What kind of lunatics are they?

Firing directly at Dao City?

Dao City, have you offended someone? Not only Lu Yao, but all the cultivators in Jin Guang City who witnessed this terrifying mushroom cloud firework were chilled to the bone.

Li Qingshan had already climbed out of the carriage, standing there like a wooden chicken, dumbfounded by the spectacle.

Such an exciting event seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Xixi, inside the carriage, clapped her hands in anticipation.

"Fireworks!"

"Let's set off the fireworks!"

...

...

Qianyuan Dao City stood tall and majestic.

The walls, soaring high like a mountain range, were guarded by the Divine Guard Army, their armor clanking as they looked up at the sky in confusion and bewilderment.

Three comets with blazing tails streaked across the heavens, leaving them unsure of how to respond.

Boom!

An incredibly powerful burst of energy erupted, and among the Divine Guard Army, a figure surrounded by vital aura seemed to be connected to the heavens and earth. With a single stomp, the entire wall shook.

It soared into the clouds.

But the three cannonballs were too fast...

Like three enraged dragons, they carried an indescribable might, resembling wild flames scorching the sky and spreading like wildfire.

"Archers?"

The Supreme Grandmaster of the Divine Guard Army, who had achieved the unity of heaven and man, frowned.

A strong sense of crisis surged within him.

However, as the commander of the defense, he still took action.

Buzz!

A divine giant sword at his waist was unsheathed, and hundreds of sword auras merged into one, forming a massive sword shadow that suddenly flipped and struck towards a golden Guan Yin statue emitting an intense glow.

The commander intended to block this cannonball and then use the momentum to block the subsequent two.

But the moment his sword tip touched the Guan Yin statue...

A terrifying chill and sense of crisis surged, as if a dam blocking a mighty river had burst, allowing the torrential waters to flood and engulf him.

An overwhelming crisis swept over him like a tide.

The explosion detonated in mid-air.

A giant golden flame lotus bloomed, unleashing a powerful shockwave that raged and rolled.

The other two cannonballs shifted, as if controlled by someone, dodging and continuing their path towards the city.

Amidst the ocean of explosions and fire, a figure covered in dust and dirt emerged, surrounded by the Supreme Grandmaster's aura, constantly intertwining and tearing through the flames. With a grim expression, he fell back onto the wall.

Turning his head, he saw...

Two dazzling mushroom clouds erupting within the ancient city.

The commander stood there, utterly stunned.

The city...

Had been bombed.

...

...

In a vast courtyard with flowing streams and lush gardens, a young demon rode a slender girl, holding her ponytail and gazing at the sky with excitement.

She's here...

His wife had arrived.

The lotus mark between his eyebrows trembled, a feedback, a prompt, a spiritual connection.

He sensed his wife's arrival.

However, his excitement didn't last long.

The dark circles under his eyes drooped, and his pupils froze.

Two golden comets tore through the air, leaving trails of golden flames.

"What is this?"

The young demon's eyes narrowed, a hint of bewilderment flashing within.

He had once lived in Jin Guang City, residing in Qin Feng Huo's body.

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

But in the young demon's memory, the mushroom cloud fireworks couldn't achieve long-range attacks. They required the use of mechanical cranes to deliver them to the target area before being thrown from a high altitude.

This was how the Underworld had eliminated the Hunter Pavilion's Guanchao Pavilion in Jin Guang City.

But...

This golden light...

The young demon's hair stood on end.

Boom!

Terrifying explosions erupted, rolling and engulfing everything.

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

The young demon felt a sense of dizziness.

It seemed as if golden petals were falling, golden lotuses rising from the ground, and in the distance, a Guan Yin statue with a benevolent expression recited the mantra for rebirth.

"Come out! Save me!"

Cold sweat drenched the young demon, and the slender girl beneath him had already collapsed on the ground, her body limp.

The young demon couldn't even move a muscle.

It was the fear of being targeted.

The fear seemed to freeze his muscles.

Within him, a great terror mingled with his heart, beating violently.

Boom!

Three figures, their bodies shimmering with golden light, exuding intense death and corpse auras, blocked the path of the estate.

They were three Cursed Golden Corpses of the Corpse God Sect, comparable to Supreme Grandmasters.

The young demon was terrified. In that moment, he felt like death itself was staring him down, as if whispering, "The Underworld will take your life at midnight, who dares to keep you until dawn."

This reminded the young demon of the time when, just outside Jin Guang City, he was about to escape, and Qin Feng Huo's body was beheaded.

He fell from the girl's back, his body trembling uncontrollably, shaking slightly.

Boom!

The dazzling explosion, like a proud sun, detonated in mid-air.

Two mushroom clouds blossomed with splendor.

Three Cursed Golden Corpses, fearless of death, used their bodies to block the explosion of the cannonballs.

The distorted Guan Yin statue shattered, expanded, and exploded, releasing waves of frenzied and violent divine nature.

As the mushroom clouds formed, the cascading energy waves were too powerful even for the three Cursed Golden Corpses to withstand.

Boom!

The flowing streams and lush gardens of the estate were hit head-on, instantly shattered into pieces by the force of the blast. Large chunks of earth and dust swirled by the spring wind.

In the city, powerful divine perceptions swept in one after another.

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

Many divine perceptions were astonished by the massive impact of the cannonballs, which had been fired from dozens of miles away.

Under their scrutiny, the scene was spectacular.

It was as if golden pillars crisscrossed the sky, descending and colliding with the Cursed Golden Corpses' divine auras, exploding in mid-air.

Terrifying air currents raged in the sky, accompanied by powerful shockwaves and scorching heat.

"What a powerful divine nature... The divine nature is unleashed with extreme ferocity, creating a terrifying explosion and radiating waves of highly corrosive divine nature!"

"Impressive!"

"Is this mechanism art?"

In the void, numerous powerful divine perceptions clashed and intertwined, like onlookers chatting amongst themselves.

"Eh?! The Corpse God Sect?!"

"Damn!"

"Looking for death!"

...

After colliding with each other, many divine perceptions seemed to have discovered something, and they were astonished, causing a commotion.

The Corpse God Sect...

In Dao City, they were like rats that everyone wanted to beat up. No one wanted to have any association with the Corpse God Sect.

However, the Corpse God Sect's concealment methods were truly formidable. A single Corpse God Pearl could seal away all death energy, corpse energy, and curse seals.

On regular days, if they didn't expose their evil techniques, they would appear no different from ordinary cultivators.

Therefore, finding the evildoers of the Corpse God Sect was not an easy task.

Unless a Divine Embryo Great Deity was dispatched, but...

Even in Dao City, Divine Embryo Great Deities were like towering peaks, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, often entering the Strange Temple and cutting off contact with the outside world.

Why would they bother with the evildoers of the Corpse God Sect? Two mushroom-shaped fireworks exploded, revealing three Cursed Gold Corpses of the Corpse God Sect. Even in Dao City, this was a big catch! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Powerful aura raged through the city.

Someone powerful had taken action within Dao City.

...

...

A thunderous boom, like the roar of a giant, reverberated through the sky.

The shockwaves and impact rippled outward, surging like giant waves in all directions, a chaotic and deafening reverse flow.

The sound of exclamations filled the air.

At the elegant pavilion, figures crowded the railing.

There were young masters from Dao City's aristocratic families, wealthy merchants, and outer disciples of the Divine Sect, all watching the two mushroom-shaped fireworks blooming in the distance.

In the midst of the storm, Su Huali's robes flapped noisily, and he gripped the railing tightly, his veins popping out.

These fireworks...

He was all too familiar with them!

They were like a symbol of the Underworld!

It was as if the entire Dao City was offering a gift to the Underworld, announcing its arrival...

The Underworld had come!

Long Tai, clad in armor, approached Su Huali, squinting at the dazzling fireworks and the raging power. "This violent Divinity is comparable to a Primordial God True Man, using all his strength to unleash a suicidal bombing technique."

"Moreover, it's extremely fast and carries a powerful impact."

"Those three Cursed Gold Corpses might suffer some losses."

"And the residual waves... Wow, if the Divine Power is enhanced further, it'll be a formidable Great Slaughter Weapon."

"It would be even more terrifying on the battlefield, silencing everyone with a single blast."

Long Tai's eyes shone brightly.

Su Huali's body shuddered, and he turned his stiff neck to look at Long Tai. "Dragon Captain, do you think... can you stop these mushroom fireworks?"

Long Tai was taken aback.

Then, he twitched his lips.

He stared at Su Huali in disbelief. "Can I still apply for sick leave from the General now?"

...

...

The howling wind carried rising heat.

Li Cheng's black hair fluttered, and he wore a cute Sacred Cow mask, his eyes gleaming.

He exhaled slowly.

"Ah—"

"That felt good."

First, let's see if they can be killed.

After firing these three shots, Li Cheng felt relieved.

It was enough to intimidate the Demon Child, and even if it didn't kill him, it would expose the Demon Child's identity as an evildoer of the Corpse God Sect.

It could also cause some trouble.

Hmm? Li Cheng's Star-Plucking Pupils beneath the mask twitched slightly.

The next moment, he launched himself, instantly retracting the Bodhimanda Avalokitesvara Lotus Cannon.

His body spun in mid-air, and he clenched his fist.

A white Flying Thunder Chess Piece was now in his palm.

Once he had a firm grip on the chess piece, he was already back inside the carriage.

After the Sacred Cow disappeared, a terrifying pressure descended, instantly bending countless trees to the ground without a chance to bounce back.

A figure clad in golden armor 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 formidable blood energy resembled golden blades, sweeping through the area.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Countless trees were cut in half at the waist, exploding and flying high into the air!

Rumble! Rumble!...

Dirt, shattered wood, and broken branches rained down.

The Golden Armored Divine General's powerful divine perception swept through, accompanied by a resounding boom.

"It's gone?"

"Escaped so quickly?"

"Also... extremely sharp perception."

"It's a slippery thing."

A faint voice came from his mouth.

Then, the Golden Armored Divine General hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping down to the large lotus-shaped crater in the soft ground.

"Is this the Underworld that Little Su mentioned?"

"A daring maniac who killed the teacher's descendants."

The Golden Armored Divine General twisted his neck, and countless golden lightning bolts danced wildly, accompanied by a charred smell.

His figure had already disappeared.

...

...

The mushroom cloud slowly descended and dissipated in mid-air.

The Demon Child's disheveled hair and thumping heart returned to normal, and his fierce, fanged face calmed down.

He exhaled, glancing at the ravaged courtyard.

His face turned ashen.

"The Underworld..."

"This is a show of force..."

"The Corpse God Messengers sent to capture the lady are probably all dead."

"So ruthless, so ruthless, Underworld!"

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

The Demon Child bared his sharp corpse teeth, revealing a savage and cruel demeanor.

His appearance was somewhat frenzied.

Gazing at the dazzling display of countless fireworks blossoming in mid-air, Li Cheng's body trembled slightly, overwhelmed with excitement and frenzy.

"A wife like this... is much more exciting!"

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

Li Cheng continuously formed hand seals and chanted scriptures.

Slowly, the blood pool began to spin, and the raging blood splashed and collided, exploding into a mist of blood.

Within the blood pool, a powerful will of the Corpse God Sect surged forth, and in an instant, a giant blood-red hand burst out, grabbing his feet and pulling him entirely into the pool.

After the blood pool disappeared...

Boom, boom, boom—

Three Cursed Golden Corpses fell to the ground, shattering the courtyard's surface into pieces, with countless bricks exploding.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

Steam rose as the Corpse God Sect's curses uncontrollably escaped from the three Cursed Golden Corpses, covering their bodies. They grimaced with distorted faces, their bodies scorched and charred from the explosion.

One of them, who had just reached the level of a Cursed Golden Corpse, had half of his body burned and mangled, his powerful corrosive divinity eroding his wounds.

This Cursed Golden Corpse had almost suffered a severe injury!

However, the three Cursed Golden Corpses joined forces, barely managing to withstand the terrifying mushroom cloud explosion.

But they soon sensed something amiss.

The demon child had used the blood pool secret technique to escape.

However, they had exposed their identities, and the dense death and corpse auras interweaving around them meant there was no escape.

Above Dao City, powerful auras from various forces raged forth.

The Temple Guardian Office, the Celestial Observation Bureau, the Qianyuan Sacred City's Surveillance Peak, the Divine Guard Army...

Experts from various powerful factions swarmed in, overwhelming them without hesitation.

...

...

Inside the carriage.

Li Cheng removed his mask and leaned against the carriage wall, the Celestial Chessboard already retracted.

"So powerful..."

"Dao City... is indeed very different from Jin Guang City."

"Fortunately, the Flying Thunder Chess Piece's teleportation is unrestricted and has no delay, otherwise... if I had been a moment slower, that powerful expert would have found my position!"

Li Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The sound of the Lotus Cannon firing from the Divine Wood Sitting Lotus Main Battle Tank was indeed quite loud. If someone had deliberately sensed it, they might have been able to locate his position.

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

"That martial will... seems like the Ten Thousand Dragons Subduing Divinity, but compared to Ji Hai Hui, it's much, much stronger."

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

"Is Ji Moling's disciple, You Liqing, stationed in Qianyuan Dao City?"

"Su Huali has arrived in Dao City... he must have sought refuge with this person."

So powerful...

Undoubtedly a top-tier Grandmaster with three flowers blooming, and he had even condensed and released three flowers! Li Cheng was no match for him at present.

However, in Li Cheng's chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit pulsated vigorously.

It was anticipation, excitement, and yearning...

Yearning, anticipation, and the desire for a battle! Li Cheng covered his mouth, telling himself to hold back his excitement.

As a father, Li Cheng couldn't afford to have a reckless mindset. He had a family to consider.

Calming his thoughts, Li Cheng leaned back against the carriage wall.

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

"At least five hundred or more Divine Form Divinity Chess Pieces with the power of the Great Snowfall Avalokitesvara Lotus Bullet are needed to severely injure a Grandmaster with the Heaven and Man as One cultivation and a Golden Body Shedding Primordial Spirit True Person."

"However, if I use Primordial Spirit Shedding level Divinity Chess Pieces, a hundred pieces should be enough..."

"I've accumulated enough Primordial Spirit Shedding level Divinity Chess Pieces to kill Shadow Guard True Person, Huang Xi Long, and Yuan Jin Gang. I have enough for a hundred pieces, but I can only use them once."

"There's another problem... a hundred Primordial Spirit Shedding level Chess Pieces might be too much for the Thousand-Armed Bodhimanda's cannon to withstand. Although the Fire God Angry Dragon Wood is good material, it might not be able to handle the explosion of a hundred Primordial Spirit Shedding level Chess Pieces without bursting."

Li Cheng closed his eyes, reflecting on his recent cannon experience.

Bombarding Dao City was indeed thrilling.

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

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

Much more was required.

"Divine Wood... materials... Primordial Spirit Shedding level Divinity Chess Pieces..."

Li Cheng leaned back against the soft cushion of the carriage and exhaled slowly.

"I must quickly integrate Black-White Extreme Collapse into the Immortal Craft Cannonball..."

"Also, I should try to combine the explosions of Black-White Extreme Collapse and Great Snowfall Avalokitesvara... a collision of two distinct powers should result in unimaginable might!"

Li Cheng's eyes sparkled with brilliance.

The Immortal Craft Dao Fruit pulsated, inspiring new ideas in Li Cheng.

The group returned to the carriage, including Li Cheng's painting-dwelling immortal clone, who enjoyed watching the spectacle.

The carriage procession resumed its journey.

Seated in the carriage, Li Cheng activated the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, using the surge of inspiration from the Dao Fruit to conduct his research.

After about half a day...

The Jin Guang City carriage finally arrived before the majestic city.

However, just as the Jin Guang City carriage was about to enter the city without inspection, thanks to Jiao Shaoqiu's connections...

"Hold on."

A faint voice echoed.

Then, a terrifying aura swept through, and above the Dao City walls, a white-headed purple-eyed eagle screeched.

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

Intense eyes glared down, and in an instant, all noise in the heavens and earth ceased.

Boom! A golden light fell.

The ground trembled as You Liqing, clad in golden armor, descended and blocked the Jin Guang City carriage's path.
