Chapter 333: Who Dared to Summon the Hunter King to Target My Daughter, Four Sovereign Heavenly Pill

Chapter 333: Who Dared to Summon the Hunter King to Target My Daughter, Four Sovereign Heavenly Pill, Dao Fruit, Immortal in Painting, Three Transformations [Seeking Monthly Votes]



Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air, without any warning, and the space began to ripple.

Two figures materialized out of nothingness!

Perhaps concerned about startling Xi Xi and the many divine children on the Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship, the two individuals suppressed their auras almost completely, but the terror hidden within was utterly terrifying.

Whether it was the Hunter King assassin from the Hunter Sect wearing the Hunter King mask or the Supervisor Hong Shi Fo, who had awakened his Divine Embryo by stimulating the chessboard.

Both could sense an invisible and oppressive aura!

Absolute Apex!

And...

They were two Absolute Apex cultivators!

One was a Hunter Sect assassin wearing a Zodiac Mask, and the other was a terrifyingly tall figure wearing a black and white mask, with a yin-yang split that seemed to divide day and night. Just a glance from him was enough to make countless spirits wail, and a monstrous demonic dog as vast as the stars seemed to rise from the earth!

This Hunter King assassin, clutching a jade flute, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Netherworld... King of Hell?!"

The black and white mask exuded unparalleled might!

Wasn't this the King of Hell from the intelligence report?

The King of Hell... Wasn't he supposed to be fighting Yue Huanglong?

He had witnessed it with his own eyes!

He had calculated this, knowing that without Lu Tai Bai and the protection of the Netherworld, this Yellow Dragon Treasure Ship would be the perfect time to strike.

But he hadn't expected that the King of Hell would return so soon...

Had he escaped Yue Huanglong so quickly?

No... That's not right!

This Hunter King assassin from the Hunter Sect narrowed his gaze, turned his head, and looked at the fat figure wearing a Zodiac Killer mask beside the King of Hell.

That plump figure was too distinctive; it was none other than Yue Huanglong.

Yue Huanglong, that old fox...

The Hunter King assassin exhaled.

A miscalculation!

The Netherworld has joined forces with Yue Huanglong?!

He turned back to attack, but as soon as he landed on the ship, the King of Hell had already returned...

So quickly he had escaped Yue Huanglong?

No... That's not right!

This Hunter King assassin from the Hunter Sect narrowed his gaze, turned his head, and looked at the fat figure wearing a Zodiac Killer mask beside the King of Hell.

That plump figure was too distinctive; it was none other than Yue Huanglong.

Yue Huanglong, that old fox...

The Hunter King assassin exhaled.

A miscalculation!

The Netherworld has joined forces with Yue Huanglong?

He turned back to attack, but as soon as he landed on the ship, the King of Hell had already returned...

So quickly he had escaped Yue Huanglong?

No... That's not right!

This Hunter King assassin from the Hunter Sect narrowed his gaze, turned his head, and looked at the fat figure wearing a Zodiac Killer mask beside the King of Hell.

That plump figure was too distinctive; it was none other than Yue Huanglong.

Yue Huanglong, that old fox...

The Hunter King assassin exhaled.

A miscalculation!

The Netherworld has joined forces with Yue Huanglong?

The strength of the opponent was formidable, and the bamboo flute was an extremely high-ranked divine weapon.

The clash of attacks erupted with a thunderous, erupted with a thunderous roar, louder than the rolling thunder in the clouds!

In an instant!

The surface of the Grand Canal was in turmoil, with waves crashing and water columns erupting from beneath the surface, making the river surge and undulate, creating a thousand-zhang range of turbulent waves.

Even the towering waves seemed to tower ten zhang high, pressing down with terrifying force.

"A top-tier, apex-level confrontation..."

"It's like a battle between gods."

Gray hair billowed, robes fluttering, as Hong Shi Fu, bearing the chessboard on his back, swept his sleeves dramatically, revealing a gigantic divine form behind him. His eyes were filled with determination, and within the Four God Transformations, his Divine Embryo shone like a true deity.

Hong Shi Fu's divine form helped the Yellow Dragon Treasure Boat withstand the terrifying wave impact, preventing it from capsizing.

"The gap... is too great..."

"I can't stop a Hunter King-level assassin."

Zhao Fangshu exhaled.

However, it was normal to be unable to stop such an opponent; it would be a miracle to do so.

Being a Hunter King assassin was not a role anyone could qualify for. Aside from the mysterious Hunter Sect's leader, there were strict requirements for their strength, all of which needed to be top-tier, apex-level.

In the entire Grand Jing, there were only a few top-tier, apex-level cultivators.

"Surviving is already a blessing. Fortunately, the opponent doesn't intend to kill you. A Hunter King from the Hunter Sect... who can easily match them?"

"This Hunter King might be from the Divine Capital, or perhaps he's a Hunter King assassin from Guangling Dao. In Guangling Dao, the only one worthy of the title Hunter King assassin is the Saintly Hand, the Heavenly Pill Sect Master."

Hong Shi Fu narrowed his eyes.

"But it's not necessarily so. This Hunter King might also be from the Divine Capital, where the waters run deep. With the Peach Blossom Festival about to begin, the leaders of the major divine sects will gather, so it's natural that Hunter King assassins will be more prevalent."

Zhao Fangshu couldn't help but be speechless.

Suddenly, both Zhao Fangshu and Hong Shi Fu looked towards the distant Grand Canal.

On the river, the water surged into the sky!

A thunderous boom!

It was as if a massive flesh ball had slammed into the river, creating a colossal wave.

"Hehehe..."

"I wonder who you are, sir?"

"A Hunter King assassin... not much to say, but the identity is quite obvious..."

Countless water streams erupted, like a torrential rain pouring down.

Yue Huanglong, wearing a Zodiac Killer mask, stood on the river's surface, his large body causing the water to surge with tremendous force.

The Hunter King assassin was now trapped between two opponents.

In front was the King of Hell, and behind was Yue Huanglong with the Zodiac Killer mask. The Hunter King assassin narrowed his eyes, recognizing Yue Huanglong's identity. Yue Huanglong's cooperation with the Netherworld was something he hadn't anticipated, throwing his plans into disarray and making him feel like he had fallen into a grand scheme.

However, the King of Hell possessed top-tier, apex-level combat power, while Yue Huanglong was only first-tier, apex-level. It wouldn't be easy for Yue Huanglong to assist the King of Hell in trapping the Hunter King assassin. Yue Huanglong was the weak link!

As if sensing the Hunter King assassin's intention, Yue Huanglong's mask revealed a face covered in fat, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

The next moment, his body's fat seemed to melt away, and his aura surged to the extreme! Even the three divine seeds on his back emerged and were detonated.

Yue Huanglong's aura officially surged into the top-tier, apex-level!

The Hunter King assassin was momentarily stunned...

He couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Directly burning his fat and detonating three mystic seeds...

What kind of madman was this?! Had Yue Huanglong's head been kicked by a donkey?

Even if the Netherworld and Yue Huanglong were truly cooperating, was it necessary to go this far?

A sword light suddenly appeared, slicing through the dark clouds above!

"Lu Tai Bai!"

The Hunter King assassin looked up, his eyes showing seriousness for the first time.

He wasn't too concerned about the King of Hell.

But Lu Tai Bai, a renowned top-tier, apex-level cultivator, was the truly terrifying threat.

"This is too much..."

The Hunter King assassin muttered.

"Who sent you?"

A cold voice echoed through the sky.

Lu Tai Bai's killing intent surged, relentless. He knew that leaving the Lingnan Dao would inevitably lead to an ambush, but he hadn't expected to encounter a Hunter King assassin.

The reason for the Hunter King Assassin's move was not a simple one!

"Forget it..."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Lu Tai Bai shook his head in the air.

His gaze shifted from the Netherworld King with the black and white starry mask to the one wearing the Constellation Mask, who directly ignited his fat and exploded three divine seeds, choosing to desperately fight Yue Huanglong...

A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Tai Bai's eyes.

Yue Huanglong?!

No... Why would Yue Huanglong fight so desperately for Xi Xi? This wasn't like the old fox's style.

Yue Huanglong came from the Divine Capital's Yue family, with a rich background. As a Primordial Energy cultivator, he had been locked in a long-standing rivalry with the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect. Lu Tai Bai was naturally familiar with Yue Huanglong.

In a situation where both parties were aware of each other's intentions, Yue Huanglong's desperate actions seemed extremely bizarre, as if he had been possessed by someone else.

Could it be that Yue Huanglong was truly possessed?

However, now was not the time to investigate this matter.

At this moment, three top-tier Absolute Apex-level powerhouses revealed their might. Lu Tai Bai, a Grand Jing-level Great Deity, and the dual-listed Absolute Apex cultivator from the Heavenly Gate, unleashed their power.

The Hunter King Assassin's face behind the mask almost turned green with envy.

He had seized an excellent opportunity, but something went wrong at some point, and in an instant, he found himself surrounded by the three top-tier Absolute Apex powerhouses...

Boom!

No further words were needed.

On the surface of the Grand Canal, the water surged upwards. Lu Tai Bai unleashed his full power, and a dazzling sword light rose, as if slicing through the misty water vapor that covered the canal's surface.

The magnificent sword light was overwhelmingly domineering. Additionally, a blazing red furnace, rapidly expanding to a diameter of several dozen zhang, resembled a rising sun behind the horizon, radiating intensely.

The Grand Canal raged for a long time, and the entire canal surface seemed to have been shaved off.

The water continued to evaporate. We'll see the results soon enough."

...

...

On the nine-layer Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship.

Li Qingshan supported Mu Po Po as they stood at the ornate railing of the luxurious pavilion, gazing at the Grand Canal's surging surface, which then plummeted like an abyss, creating a terrifying scene.

Li Qingshan couldn't help but shake his head in awe.

"It's truly a fight between gods..."

However, what Li Qingshan didn't expect was that when he immersed his mind into the Netherworld Mirror, a message came through.

[King of Hell: Yue Huanglong's name has been removed from the Book of Life and Death.]



Li Qingshan's entire body trembled, and his fingers clenched tightly.

His breath became chaotic, even more so than when he witnessed the distant terrifying confrontation.

"Qingshan, what's wrong?"

Mu Po Po looked at Li Qingshan with puzzlement in her eyes.

"It's... It's just that witnessing such a high-level battle has left me in awe, and I wonder when I'll be able to reach such heights."

Li Qingshan spoke mechanically.

Yue Huanglong...

He's a Primordial Energy cultivator.

Although Li Qingshan wore the Cat Face mask and disowned his family, he was still aware of Yue Huanglong's strength. Yue Huanglong was a Martial Saint at the Fourth Open Realm, an Absolute Apex existence, and his true strength was even greater than that of a newly advanced Fourth Open Realm Martial Saint!

However, according to the King of Hell's words...

It meant that Yue Huanglong had already... fallen victim to the Netherworld's schemes!

Recalling the battle he had witnessed on the canal's surface, during that fight, the plump figure wearing the Constellation Killer mask directly ignited his fat and exploded his divine seeds...

This familiar Netherworld combat style...

Made Li Qingshan think that Yue Huanglong... might become his Cat Face colleague from now on.

Li Qingshan sighed deeply.

If you can't beat the Netherworld, then join them after they beat you.

The Netherworld...

Was becoming more powerful by the day.

No, the Netherworld had always been terrifyingly strong. Even Li Qingshan, a veteran member of the Netherworld with the Cat Face mask, felt its might.

"What a pity..."

Li Qingshan shook his head lightly.

It was a pity that Yue Huanglong's death...

Meant he couldn't attend his funeral with the Cat Face mask.

After a moment's thought, Li Qingshan took out the Netherworld Mirror and solemnly responded.

[Cat Face: Received ^_^]



...

...

The battle didn't last long.

Under Lu Tai Bai's full power, the terrifying sword light nearly illuminated the sky, and countless sword energies ravaged and intertwined high in the air, resembling a divine dragon writhing and soaring, like a celestial dragon emerging from behind the clouds.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion sounded, and the Hunter King Assassin, who had tried to break through the encirclement, was blown to pieces, his blood and flesh, and even his mask, exploding.

Then, a thick aroma of pills wafted through the air, enveloping the Grand Canal!

Splash, splash...

Within the Grand Canal, countless fish were attracted and swam frantically towards the surface, leaping out from beneath the water, drawn by the scent, and attempting to leap over the Dragon Gate.

Heavy rain poured down, unceasing. The water that splashed up began to fall back to the ground under the influence of the heavenly domain, crashing onto the canal's surface and creating a dense spray of water droplets.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

In mid-air, after the Hunter King Assassin's body exploded, his flesh dissolved, revealing three swirling pills within.

Each pill displayed three different colored stripes, and an intense pill fragrance filled the air.

"So it's you... Gu Changqing, the Sect Master of the Guangling Heavenly Pill Sect."

"However... knowing that you're Lu Tai Bai's disciple, you still sent a Heavenly Pill Vajra clone to deal with me. It wasn't your intention, but who forced you to take action?"

Lu Tai Bai's eyes flashed, and a deep gleam appeared in his gaze.

"National Teacher... Xie Yunshen?"

After a long pause, Lu Tai Bai finally spoke a name.

In the midst of the pouring rain, Lu Tai Bai's silver hair danced as he tightly gripped the Tai Bai Sword, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"The Heavenly Pill Vajra is a cultivation technique of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect. Each Heavenly Pill Vajra is extremely precious, even more so than the three-life body of the Yellow Eyebrow from Little Lingyin Temple and the Heavenly King Incarnation of Ji Moli. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's even more valuable than those, as its power can be enhanced based on the number of heavenly pills infused."

"A Heavenly Pill Vajra powered by three heavenly pills... That's quite a price."

Lu Tai Bai stepped on a sword beam, appearing in front of the three pills. His five fingers, sharp as sword blades, reached out and grasped all three pills in his hand. The pills struggled, as if emitting a terrifying will, but Lu Tai Bai effortlessly suppressed them.

With a quick flick of his fingers, two of the pills transformed into streams of light and shot towards the King of Hell, wearing the Zodiac Killer mask, and Yue Huanglong, each taking one.

"I, as the sect leader, won't take advantage of you. This Heavenly Pill Vajra was obtained by our combined efforts. As for this Saintly Pill, I'll give one to each of you..."

Lu Tai Bai said, "However, to refine and absorb this Saintly Pill, you must first eradicate the Heavenly Soul of the sect leader, Gu Changqing."

Li Che, wearing the black and white Yin-Yang mask of the King of Hell, clenched his fist and took the pill.

This is a Fourth-Rank Mid-Level heavenly pill! Even Li Che couldn't help but feel tempted.

A Fourth-Rank Mid-Level heavenly pill is a great temptation, even for those at the Upper Rank.

It was clear that Lu Tai Bai was in pain as he gave away two of the pills, one to each of them.

Yue Huanglong received the pill with a wide smile, his masked face beaming.

baby is mine, I'll make sure to protect her normal life."

...

...

Buzz—

Back in the workshop room of the Nine-Layer Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship.

The room was filled with numerous Spirit Woods, creating an atmosphere of profound silence and a strong fragrance.

"Who dares to send a Hunter King after my daughter?" Li Che's eyes flashed with anger.

Lu Tai Bai mentioned National Teacher Xie Yunshen...

But why would the National Teacher target Xi Xi?

Li Che's heart sank as he slowly removed the Yin-Yang mask, his eyes revealing a cold expression. The power of the six Mystic Seeds he had detonated had completely subsided.

Li Che scanned his body, clearly sensing the injuries within.

His five viscera and six entrails had intricate cracks, and his skin had small wounds, but in a short time, these injuries had healed.

Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was frantically releasing its power.

After reaching Level 6, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit seemed to provide feedback to Li Che, accelerating his recovery.

Even with the power of the Dragon Elephant Fusion Furnace, a cultivation technique for refining the Pure Martial body, his five viscera and six entrails showed signs of strain, with cracks appearing.

However, these injuries were not a significant concern for Li Che at this time.

Instead of engaging in other activities, Li Che sat cross-legged, his mind seemingly merging with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit.

With each beat of his heart, he felt the power emanating from the Dao Fruit.

As the days passed, Li Che's physical injuries gradually healed.

In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

The nine-layer Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship sailed smoothly, encountering no more dangers or threats.

After all, any potential hazards had been eliminated.

Even a clone of the Hunter King Assassin had been utterly defeated!

The powerful beings observing in secret had no desire to make a move.

After all, taking action meant facing three top-tier Absolute Apex cultivators.

One was Lu Tai Bai, another was the King of Hell from the Netherworld, and the last was Yue Huanglong, who seemed to be on the verge of death.

The pressure was immense.

Therefore, the ship sailed without hindrance, smoothly traveling along the Grand Canal, heading north.

Inside the cabin...

Li Che slowly opened his eyes.

In just three days, no one had disturbed him. Not even Zhang Ya had come to see him.

Within the cabin, Li Che stood up, his injuries completely healed, and the powerful impact on his body from the six Mystic Seeds had subsided. The wounds had closed in just three days, leaving no hidden injuries or aftereffects.

Li Che had plenty of time to thoroughly examine any hidden injuries; otherwise, he estimated that he could have fully recovered in just two days.

"The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit... I just discovered its healing ability."

Li Che muttered to himself.

The Dragon Elephant Vajra, and now there was another Dao Fruit ability.

This was different from the Technique Embryo and Divine Ability, as it was an innate ability of the Dao Fruit itself.

"Mainly because I rarely get injured. Now, with the injuries caused by the Eight Mystic Arts, it's time to take action."

Li Che smiled.

It wasn't his fault for not discovering this healing ability sooner, as he rarely sustained injuries.

"Let's call this ability 'Meat Dragon Elephant'."

Li Che smiled, and the Heavenly Chessboard enveloped everything.

Feeling the atmosphere of the nine-layer Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship.

Perhaps the initial wonder of the ship's journey had faded into monotony. We'll see what the results are."

The Divine Children followed Zhao Fang Zhou's guidance, entering a state of cultivation, preparing for the upcoming Peach Blossom Festival.

Li Che also sensed the diligent Xi Xi, focusing on the foundation of boxing techniques under Zhao Fang Zhou's instruction, solidifying her cultivation and martial arts foundation.

A loud rumbling sound filled the air.

The river water was parted, and the Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship's speed increased.

Li Che exhaled, leaving behind a painting of himself as a backup in case of emergencies.

The entire person vanished with a clenched fist, disappearing within the cabin.

...

...

The sky was filled with a loud, howling wind.

Snowflakes fell onto the vast, endless surface of the Grand Canal, only to be swallowed and melted by the river's hot water.

The Grand Canal was a masterpiece of the Grand Jing Dynasty, created with the help of numerous top-tier Absolute Apex cultivators.

Once completed, the river's surface didn't freeze in winter, and the water remained cool and refreshing in summer, a true wonder.

The river's surface became calm.

Li Che appeared about a hundred li away from the nine-layer Yellow Dragon Sacred Wood Treasure Ship.

Standing on the vast Grand Canal.

Li Che's mind moved, and a painting unfurled.

A small, solitary boat suddenly appeared on the river's surface with a whooshing sound.

Ripples formed on the calm river's surface.

Li Che stood at the boat's peak, gazing at the snow-filled sky.

A solitary boat on the vast river.

Fishing alone in the cold river.

A sense of desolation and solitude swept over him.

Standing at the boat's head.

Li Che clenched his fist.

Instantly, a black chess piece twisted and expanded.

It transformed into a plump and adorable Yue Huanglong.

As soon as Yue Huanglong appeared, he quietly stood at a distance, holding a Four-Rank Mid-Level Three-Colored Heavenly Pill.

He respectfully and obediently stood to the side.

As an experienced official, he had become a Soul Binding after his transformation, and he wholeheartedly admired and respected Li Che.

Li Che summoned Yue Huanglong and glanced at the pill, taking it without hesitation.

A Soul Binding couldn't consume the pill.

After taking the pill, Yue Huanglong obediently stood behind, as if he had something to say to Li Che, looking hesitant.

But Li Che didn't pay attention to him.

His ink-black robe fluttered in the wind, and his dark, robust hair whipped around.

Li Che sat cross-legged at the bow of the small boat.

"Huff—"

"Suck—"

The snow fell from the sky, and the cold air filled the river.

The river's surface was serene, and only the sound of Li Che's strong, steady heartbeat echoed in his ears.

The river's surface rippled.

In front of him, golden light flowed.

[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv6, 10%)]



"As expected, reaching lv6, the Dao Fruit's maturity... is more difficult to increase. Killing Yue Huanglong, a top-tier Absolute Apex cultivator, and Lu Tai Bai, and defeating a clone of the Hunter King... It's not bad."

But with such impressive achievements, the maturity had only increased by 10%.

It was indeed less than expected.

However, Li Che understood that this was because the two he had killed were not true top-tier Absolute Apex cultivators.

"But... at least..."

Li Che raised his hand and touched his forehead.

His flesh tore open, and blood flowed.

Then...

Golden light flowed and slowly appeared before his eyes.

[Dao Fruit: Immortal in Painting (lv5, 0%)]



The Dao Fruit had transformed!
