Chapter 281: Soul Constriction, the Queen Consort Rides the Dragon, Father and Daughter, Both Ancien
Chapter 281: Soul Constriction, the Queen Consort Rides the Dragon, Father and Daughter, Both Ancient Child Prodigies? (Part 1)
The night deepened, and the bright moon hung high in the sky, casting its clear light down upon the small courtyard.
The willow branches swayed gently in the spring breeze, and the fragrance of the blooming willow flowers wafted through the air, soothing the mind.
"Chizi, chizi, chizi—"
A sound like paper being burned and carbonized by flames, a subtle, creaking noise, as if tiny insects were gnawing away.
"Soul Constriction—"
A deep voice, like an ancient priest's hoarse chant during a sacred ritual, opening the gates of death and summoning the spirits of the deceased from oblivion.
The courtyard was filled with a cold, eerie atmosphere, as if the entrance to the underworld was swirling above everyone's heads.
Black silk threads rose, slowly ascending from the shadow of the dragon queen's head, which had been severed in her breakthrough to the Martial Saint realm.
Like black droplets, they slowly gathered.
Immense, profound, and deep, the threads filled the entire courtyard, almost blocking out the moonlight. The powerful and fierce aura unique to Martial Saints, the heavenly aura of man, caused the wind to howl.
Inside the courtyard, everyone wore black robes, fluttering in the wind, their masks revealing different expressions. They looked up at the black dragon shadow.
The dragon shadow gradually became more solid, slowly shedding its darkness, as if the deathly aura from the underworld was being washed away.
The dragon's bones turned a deep blue, emitting a faint dark hue that covered its body. The dragon horns, whiskers, scales, and deep blue eyes were all clear and lifelike!
This was the dragon that had fought fiercely with Li Che, fully awakening its dragon deity bloodline.
Roar—!
A dragon's roar echoed in the courtyard.
Slowly, the massive, ten-zhang-long dragon transformed back into the dragon queen's appearance.
Closing her eyes and then opening them, the exquisitely beautiful woman's eyes turned deep blue, reflecting the moonlight, as if they could emit light.
Soul Constriction—
Return!
The dragon queen, Ao Yuxin, had revived!
Li Che's tall and robust body wore a cute cow mask, and he looked at the dragon queen indifferently.
The first thing the dragon queen noticed was You Liqing.
You Liqing, with his golden helmet and visor, had a complex expression as he watched the dragon queen.
The entire courtyard fell silent.
Li Qingshan, with his cat-like face, was among the group of evildoers, too frightened to breathe.
The dragon queen and You Liqing...
Neither of them had been Martial Saints in their previous lives, but after death, they had both become Martial Saints, resurrected by the Netherworld's Bull Demon. They now possessed the strength of Martial Saints.
Even Li Qingshan felt a stir in his heart.
It seemed that even death could lead to growth and strength.
Comparing the two, death didn't seem so terrifying anymore.
Of course, Li Qingshan's thoughts weren't limited to this. His eyes flashed, filled with softness, struggle, and a hint of longing...
No one paid attention to Li Qingshan's thoughts at this moment.
After all, there were only two living people in the entire courtyard.
Li Che didn't bother to guess Li Qingshan's thoughts. He watched the dragon queen, awaiting her reaction. If she showed any resentment or resistance...
Then Li Che could grant her a true death.
In Li Che's eyes, the death she experienced was the true death.
The dragon queen looked at the Bull Demon.
On her exquisite face, a complex expression appeared.
So it turned out...
You Liqing had indeed died.
But he had been revived in this manner.
She now truly understood.
However, for some reason, Ao Yuxin's heart...
Not only did she not reject it, but she also felt relief, joy, and contentment.
Even though...
The Bull Demon was the culprit who killed her son and her lover.
But...
The Bull Demon had revived her brother You Liqing.
"The Dragon Deity, Ao Yuxin, pays respect to the lord."
The dragon queen bowed respectfully.
Without resistance, she was sincerely convinced, and even...
A little happy.
Under the Bull Demon's mask, Li Che's expression remained unchanged.
Seeing the obedient and submissive dragon queen, the originally gathered killing intent gradually dispersed.
Forget it, the Soul Constriction's next meal...
Will have to wait.
You Liqing, relieved by the Soul Constriction, let out a strange cry, while in the distance, Long Tai hugged his chest and hummed.
"Not bad."
Li Che praised.
Surprised, he looked at the obedient dragon queen.
Unexpectedly...
The dragon queen's surrender and submission were so decisive and straightforward, without any struggle in her eyes.
Li Che had thought that making the dragon queen submit would be more troublesome.
After all, he had done too much harm to the dragon queen. He had killed her son, her lover, and finally, he had personally killed her dragon.
Indeed...
A woman's heart is hard to guess.
Even a mother dragon's heart is unpredictable.
My little Ya is the most innocent.
Nonetheless, this was also good. Now, the dragon queen was a Martial Saint, although only at the initial stage, but she was still one of Li Che's top combat powers.
With Huang Jianjiu and You Liqing, they now had three Martial Saint combat powers.
The Blood God Nine Yang Vajra Ape was also considered a Martial Saint combat power, but compared to a true Martial Saint, it was still lacking.
The dragon queen was a strong member of the Dragon Deity lineage, and her innate physical attributes made her extremely powerful.
More useful than the Vajra Ape...
Most importantly.
Li Che's eyes flashed...
"Transform."
Li Che looked at the dragon queen and said calmly.
"Yes."
The dragon queen respectfully responded. The next moment, she clenched her five fingers, and her black hair blew wildly. The two dragon horns on her forehead began to emit deep blue light.
The Dragon Bone began to spread out, accompanied by a deafening and earth-shattering dragon's roar. The Dragon Girl spun in place and soared into the sky, transforming into a ten-zhang tall azure-boned divine dragon!
Li Che took a step forward, and in the next moment, he appeared above the Dragon Girl as if he had teleported.
Riding the dragon, he stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the wind, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
Within the range of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard's concealment, Li Che allowed the divine dragon to roam freely before returning to the courtyard.
The Dragon Girl transformed back into her human form and stood quietly beside You Liqing, her eyelashes slightly raised as she occasionally glanced at him.
She pursed her lips, wanting to smile but feeling that she should maintain the solemnity befitting a Soul Constrictor in front of her master.
But she couldn't contain it, not at all.
It would be better if she had died. Why didn't she die sooner? Then she could have reunited with Brother Liqing earlier!
For a moment, the Dragon Girl's gaze towards Li Che carried a hint of resentment.
Li Che frowned.
"Master, why didn't you kill me sooner?" The Dragon Girl, Ao Yuhxin, looked pitiful and helpless.
Li Che: "..."
You're blaming me now?!
"Shut up." Li Che said indifferently.
"Oh." The Dragon Girl pursed her lips, then looked at You Liqing and smiled brightly.
You Liqing felt a bit embarrassed and couldn't bring himself to look directly at the Dragon Girl.
"Hmph!"
In the distance, Qingniao let out a heavy hum, his nostrils almost splitting open! Long Tai held his Crocodile Head Axe, enjoying the spectacle without concern for its scale. His beard bristled as he suppressed the urge to burst into laughter.
Peace Rebellion Princess Ji Maoli...
A cuckolded king?
Li Che was speechless.
However...
Peace Rebellion King probably had no real affection for the Dragon Queen Consort. He even treated Ji Haihui with extreme coldness, sending her to Golden Light Mansion as if she were a mere pawn to be sacrificed.
Moreover, Li Che believed that Peace Rebellion King must have known about the conflict between the Third Prince and the Dragon Clan. Therefore, he sent Ji Haihui, who possessed the Dragon Deity Bloodline, to Golden Light Mansion to retrieve the Nether Lotus Yin Divine Sword.
Li Che wanted to find the Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword to unite the Nether Lotus Yin and Yang Divine Swords.
If united, the combined Nether Lotus Yin and Yang Divine Swords could reach the level of a Middle-Rank Four Supreme Divine Armament, or even higher.
"The Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword..."
A strange glint flashed in Li Che's eyes.
Xixi had become Lu Tai Bai's personal disciple and the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect. Among the divine armaments Lu Tai Bai bestowed upon her, there seemed to be...
The Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword!
No wonder... No wonder in the Strange Temple of the Third Prince in Golden Light Mansion, the Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword was not drawn out. It was because the Nether Lotus Yang Divine Sword... had been obtained earlier.
No wonder Peace Rebellion King carried a sword but did not attract the Yang Divine Sword in the Strange Temple of the Third Prince.
Li Che didn't bother to delve into their grudges. He looked at the Dragon Girl, who kept sticking close to You Liqing, and asked, "What kind of person is Peace Rebellion King Ji Maoli?"
Li Che inquired in a deep voice.
In the Netherworld, Peace Rebellion King killed Ji Haihui, Su Huaiming, You Liqing, and the Dragon Queen Consort...
Peace Rebellion King couldn't have remained unmoved.
At that time, the Martial Saint will of Peace Rebellion King hidden within the Nether Lotus Yin Divine Sword revealed a boundless killing intent.
Therefore, Li Che wanted to understand Peace Rebellion King Ji Maoli.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Girl fell silent for a moment before replying, "He's a terrifying person, mysterious and unfathomable, with immense strength."
"Even the Venerable Dragon King of my Dragon God clan treats Peace Rebellion King... with utmost respect and caution."
"The Venerable Dragon King... is equivalent to a Martial Saint of the Fourth Transformation, in the Divine Embryo Great Deity Realm."
"In the years I was married to Peace Rebellion King, I truly didn't see him often."
The Dragon Girl pursed her lips and said softly.
"Every time I saw him, I felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation and terror."
Hearing this, Li Che couldn't help but take a deep breath. He looked at You Liqing, also gaining some understanding about Peace Rebellion King Ji Maoli.
Slowly closing his eyes, Li Che's mind recalled the Martial Saint will that clashed with the Third Prince in the Strange Temple of the Third Prince.
"Can Peace Rebellion King be listed in the Great Deity Spectrum?"
Li Che asked.
He didn't know much about the Divine Embryo Great Deity Spectrum, only that Lu Tai Bai was ranked fifth.
Huang Jianjiu shook his head, saying, "One of the Eight Great Vassal Kings, titled Peace Rebellion King, with unmatched battle prowess, how could he not be listed in the Divine Embryo Great Deity Spectrum?"
"The Sect Master is ranked fifth, and Peace Rebellion King's ranking is even higher, placed above the Sect Master."
Li Che narrowed his eyes.
However, Huang Jianjiu hadn't finished speaking.
"But Peace Rebellion King's true strength lies not in his divine nature but in his martial arts... In the Martial Saint Heavenly Gate Pass, Peace Rebellion King is ranked second."
"And the Sect Master's ranking in the Martial Saint Heavenly Gate Pass is the seventh among the top fifteen."
"However, the Sect Master is also not weak. After all, to be listed in both the Great Deity Spectrum and the Martial Saint Heavenly Gate Pass, there are only five people."
"Peace Rebellion King counts as one, and the Sect Master counts as another..."
Hearing this, Li Che took a deep breath.
Being listed in both the Great Deity Spectrum and the Martial Saint Heavenly Gate Pass naturally represented a balanced combat power. Their overall strength was naturally greater.
At this moment, Li Che's power was far from sufficient to face these opponents, even if he used all his trump cards. Fortunately, Xixi had become the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, with Lu Tai Bai's protection, her safety was somewhat guaranteed.
However, Hunter Sect and Corpse God Sect...
Remained significant threats.
Li Che's gaze fell on Huang Jianjiu and You Liqing: "During that time when the Dragon Girl was hunted, do you remember who intervened?"
"A Demi-God Corpse from Hunter Sect and Corpse God Sect..."
"That Demi-God Corpse... Find it."
Li Che said in a deep voice.
Corpse God Sect indeed had a backup plan in Lingnan Dao, hiding a Demi-God Corpse. Li Che wanted to understand the specific situation of Corpse God Sect.
Action:
"Yes."
Huang Jianjiu and You Liqing responded as if they had been liberated.
"Big Brother Liqing, I'll go with you, wait for me!"
The Dragon Queen hurriedly shouted.
Li Che glanced around and snapped his fingers.
The Dragon Queen instantly transformed into a black chess piece of Soul Constrict, landing on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
Heaven and Earth... indeed became much more serene.
Li Qingshan put on the Cat Face Mask, "Do I need to make a trip to the Hunter Sect?"
"The Hunter Sect only considers resources, and they'll do anything if the resources are provided..."
"Has Xixi been on the Hunter Sect's Reward Board? If so, you can hand it over to me."
Li Che looked at Li Qingshan silently, "Okay."
He had originally planned to assign the task to Li Qingshan, and with the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, Li Qingshan's courage had grown significantly.
The Cat Face also left, and the entire courtyard gradually became peaceful.
With a flick of his fingers, numerous clones and Soul Constrict disappeared.
Li Che sat cross-legged in the courtyard.
"Inhale—"
"Exhale—"
With each breath, the air rippled.
Blending with the night breeze, the courtyard's tree shadows danced, shattering the moonlight and scattering it across the ground in patches.
Within Li Che's chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit slowly returned to tranquility, and his entire being became incredibly serene.
He slowly opened his eyes, and golden smoke seemed to flow like incense.
[Fruit of the Way: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV5, 25%)]
His eyes flickered, and a gleam of joy appeared in them.
After the battle with the Dragon Queen, which could be considered a fair and square solo kill, the maturity of the Fruit of the Way had unexpectedly increased by 10%!
It was a LV5 level Fruit of the Way, and its maturity had an incredibly high gold content!
"It's not just the enhancement gained from the Martial Saint, according to the normal rules of the Fruit of the Way, the more advanced the maturity, the more difficult it should be to obtain."
"It should be related to my combat style. During the battle, I unleashed two Divine Seeds... and gained the ultimate power to break through the shackles of the human body, which resonated with the Fruit of the Way's excitement, hence the significant increase."
Li Che pondered, analyzing the reason for the rapid increase in the maturity of the Fruit of the Way.
Additionally, Li Che discovered that the Pure Heart Fruit of the Way had also gained a 2% increase in maturity.
This was due to the Soul Constrict on the Dragon Queen.
"The Chess Sage's Fruit of the Way is still a bit short of breaking through to LV5, and the growth of the Immortal in Painting's Fruit of the Way and the Thunder Magnetic Body is also quite slow..."
"The Immortal Art Fruit of the Way hasn't improved much recently. Perhaps I can try carving a Demi-God Divine Carving, which might help increase the speed of the Immortal Art Fruit of the Way."
"Additionally, there's the Mechanical Beast. I can try creating a Five Elders rank Mechanical Beast.
