Chapter 342: The Young Ox Demon, Xi Xi, and the Half-Step Grandmaster (Part 2)
Chapter 342: The Young Ox Demon, Xi Xi, and the Half-Step Grandmaster (Part 2)
With just this technique, her combat power is no weaker than that of a Grand Master..."
"Therefore, the dragon whelps we send out should be the top dragon whelps of our sects. Only then do we have a chance to defeat Li Nuoxi."
"As long as we win one match against her, the bet will be void."
Huang Mei sat on the Buddhist palanquin prepared under the eaves, his two long eyebrows swaying in the wind, speaking without joy or sorrow.
"It shouldn't be difficult. This little girl has heard that martial arts are only half a step away from the Grand Master level, and she hasn't yet condensed her Martial Dao Will. Her Divine Essence cultivation has reached the Divine Image, but compared to a Grand Master, the Divine Image cultivation is just an extra flourish... It's far from enough."
"So, this girl's main difficulty lies in her Mechanism Technique."
"As long as we can dodge her first wave of Mechanism Technique bombardment, relying on the strength of a Grand Master, we can basically secure victory."
Gu Changqing, the Master of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect, smiled faintly.
"Everyone, since it's like this, for the first match... let my Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's first dragon whelp, 'Gu Jiang,' challenge this little girl."
"Perhaps the first battle will be the end?"
Their gazes fell upon a tall and slender youth in a blue robe. This youth was Gu Jiang, the top-ranked dragon whelp of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect this year, and his talent was said to be even stronger than that of Gu He, who had once dominated the Dragon Whelp Ledger of the Heavenly Origin City.
"Gu Jiang, are you confident?"
Gu Changqing stroked his beard and smiled.
The handsome youth opened his eyes, saying, "Master, rest assured. She is the dragon whelp of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, and I am the dragon whelp of the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect. I am six years older than her... I won't lose, and I can't afford to lose."
"I will definitely win."
Gu Jiang spoke with determination.
He had watched the pre-banquet replay of Xi Xi's battle with Shi Ming and studied her combat techniques, only to find... no techniques, just bombardment.
Shi Ming, as a dragon whelp disciple of the True Martial Divine Sect, had no weak talent or strength. He mainly cultivated a pure martial art similar to True Martial, and his physical body was exceptionally robust. Still, he was defeated by Xi Xi's relentless bombardment.
Gu Jiang dared not underestimate her, but he discovered that Xi Xi's strength was her weakness.
It seemed like none of the dragon whelps of this generation in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect were particularly outstanding. Even Lu Qingxuan, who had once dominated the Dragon Whelp Ledger, had not yet reached the Grand Master realm.
But he was different. He, Gu Jiang...
Was already a Grand Master!
Six consecutive victories? I'll make sure you crumble and fall in the very first match!
Little girl, let me show you the cruelty of the world!
Gu Jiang clenched his five fingers.
The peach branch glowed with Divine Essence!
Due to the bet, the other divine children who participated in the pre-banquet were stopped from attending, leaving only him and Xi Xi to match up.
Hum—!!!
Divine Essence intertwined like a storm!
As the light faded, Gu Jiang had already disappeared from his original spot.
...
...
Heavenly Yuan Academy.
"They've entered, and the opponent matching was successful. Let's go in and take a look."
At the moment Xi Xi was teleported away from the courtyard.
Lu Tai Bai also took out the millennium peach branch and swept it, causing everyone to be drawn in, like attending a banquet of immortals, and they rushed to the spectator seats.
This time, not only the members of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect entered the spectator seats through the peach branch.
Almost the entire Nine Cities of Divine Capital, with their various means and qualifications, activated their peach branches and entered the spectator stands.
That familiar feeling of being possessed by a celestial immortal once again emerged.
Li Che looked around the stands, and this time, numerous celestial immortal divine carvings were emitting divine essence, leaving no doubt that these divine carvings were possessed and had taken over the seats to watch Xi Xi's battle.
The number was indeed quite significant, with nearly a third of the celestial immortal divine carvings being occupied.
It seemed that there were more people paying attention to this wager than he had imagined.
Divine Capital... It seemed that it was usually quite boring.
Li Che's gaze swept across the stands, and his eyes fell on the enormous arena in the divine temple below.
"Sky Pill Divine Sect?"
Li Che's eyebrows rose.
Xi Xi's first opponent was the first dragon whelp of the Sky Pill Divine Sect.
"The first dragon whelp of the Sky Pill Divine Sect... Gu Jiang."
The inspector, Hong Shi Fo, smiled and introduced Gu Jiang to Li Che.
Hong Shi Fo quite liked Xi Xi. Aside from her terrible chess skills, this girl had no other faults and was naturally endearing.
Therefore, Hong Shi Fo sincerely hoped that Xi Xi could achieve the grand feat of defeating six opponents in a row.
Although it sounded incredibly difficult.
After all, she had to defeat the first dragon whelps of the six great divine sects! These dragon whelps were nurtured from a young age with the sect's abundant resources, each one a gold-devouring beast!
These first dragon whelps were typically guaranteed a spot in the main banquet of the dragon whelp feast.
"It's difficult..."
Hong Shi Fo furrowed his brows slightly.
The little girl was about to face the biggest challenge of her life.
...
...
On the jade platform, Xi Xi and Gu Jiang stood facing each other.
Great Master! Xi Xi immediately felt a powerful martial dao will from Gu Jiang's body, as if the air itself was being compressed.
The pressure of martial rank was not as overwhelming as divine essence, but it was still very real.
Buzz!
Firelight splattered, and Xi Xi's clean feet were surrounded by two windfire golden light wheels, spinning at high speed, pulling her body upwards.
Fireworks erupted, and the air currents roared, lifting Xi Xi's body at incredible speed, increasing the distance.
Xi Xi clenched her five fingers.
A pink immortal Gatling gun fell into her hand.
Six metal tubes instantly turned crimson.
Gu Jiang looked at Xi Xi indifferently and clenched his five fingers, causing a green long spear to fall into his hand.
"Little girl, even if you use mechanisms to close the distance, the gap between a great master and a master... is not something that can be easily bridged with mechanisms."
"Mechanisms are good, but they can't be endlessly expended, right?"
Gu Jiang immediately saw the flaw in Xi Xi's mastery of mechanisms.
The next moment, his feet slammed down, and countless clouds of dust rose as his green body flickered, and he shot forward like a green dragon.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Xi Xi didn't waste any words with Gu Jiang.
She immediately opened fire! The six crimson metal tubes started spinning at high speed, and golden sword lights surged out, blasting the jade ground into pits and craters, with smoke and dust constantly exploding! However, Gu Jiang held a green long spear and moved as swiftly as a swimming dragon.
The great master's divine aura raged, and the silver divine aura intertwined and vibrated, wrapping around his feet as he displayed an extremely agile martial saint's ultimate skill!
Like a fish swimming in water, he moved with the flow of the countless Gatling gun's golden light, constantly trying to get closer to Xi Xi's body!
Gu Jiang actually found it quite challenging.
The power of these mechanism cannonballs was terrifying, and if he were hit or caught in the line of fire, he might suffer a significant loss.
However, his primordial spirit was activated, and his divine essence was scattered around him. His cultivation was at the peak of the primordial image realm!
With his primordial spirit's heightened perception and the great master's powerful physique, Gu Jiang had the confidence to withstand Xi Xi's mechanism firepower.
Gu Jiang fearlessly consumed his divine aura, blood essence, and divine essence.
As the first dragon whelp of the Sky Pill Divine Sect, he had an abundance of pills.
The rules of the preliminary banquet were very relaxed, and even the use of pills was not restricted. If Gu Jiang wished, he could even take pills that could fully stimulate the human body's limits.
He swallowed a pill, and as he moved at high speed, he crushed it, restoring his strength and continuing to dodge...
When he felt the firepower weakening, a smile of excitement appeared on Gu Jiang's lips.
He sensed...
The firepower was starting to weaken!
Li Nuoxi's mechanism reserves were running out!
Gu Jiang's eyes lit up, and his body began to move, trying to get closer to Xi Xi.
As long as he got close to Xi Xi, with the great master's strength and primordial image cultivation!
He could easily crush this little girl!
The first dragon whelp of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect...
Was too green!
"Little girl!"
"It's over!"
Bang!
As the gunfire paused for a moment, Gu Jiang stomped his foot heavily, and the jade platform shook violently, with faint cracks spreading rapidly like radiation!
Gu Jiang brandished his green long spear, roaring like a dragon, and the explosive gusts of wind howled and coiled around him.
Hundred zhang!
Ten zhang!
Three zhang!
Gu Jiang's eyes shone with a bright excitement.
Bang!
When he finally got close enough to see the little girl's cute, panicked face, Gu Jiang suddenly bit down on the pill in his mouth, and his blood essence exploded like firecrackers, rising higher and higher with each pop! Suddenly...
Gu Jiang caught the disappearance of panic in Xi Xi's eyes.
A cunning look flashed across her face.
Then, Gu Jiang saw a surge of divine essence gushing from between Xi Xi's eyebrows!
Countless black flames danced behind the little girl, forming a terrifying eight-armed, three-headed monster that coiled and raged!
Boom!
The oppressive pressure of the divine essence rank slammed down, making Gu Jiang feel as if his body suddenly sank.
Li Che's divine essence began to stagnate, causing him to hurriedly mobilize the Qi and blood of a Divine Aura Grand Master, attempting to break through the oppressive pressure of rank and regain his mobility.
But a streak of golden light shot towards him!
It was too fast, incredibly fast!
It was—
A golden brick! It struck Gu Jiang on the back of his head...
Gu Jiang's Grand Master physique was incredibly resilient, so his head didn't explode, and the Queen Mother's divine essence didn't trigger.
However, Gu Jiang was hit by the force emanating from the golden brick, causing his entire head to buzz. It felt like his divine essence had been shattered.
He experienced a pain akin to being pierced by thousands of needles.
Instantly, Gu Jiang's handsome face contorted with agony, and snot and tears streamed down his face!
"Ahhhh!"
Gu Jiang let out a painful howl.
Then, Xi Xi used her pink Immortal Craft Gatling Gun to shoot him in the face.
"Show weakness to the enemy, and strike back when they're numb!"
"This is Niu Niu's master's way of fighting!"
"I, Xi Xi, the Little Bull Demon!"
Xi Xi smiled mischievously.
A fireball erupted, and a massive mushroom cloud exploded, releasing a terrifying fire that soared into the sky, forming a slowly descending mushroom shape.
"Ahahahaha!"
Xi Xi, riding the Windfire Golden Light Wheel, carried the pink Immortal Craft Gatling Gun, striding across the ground as if it were flat, and took off running.
Gu Jiang, after being hit, remained silent, and the Queen Mother's divine essence enveloped him, healing his injuries and sending him out of the temple.
The entire Divine Temple spectator stand fell silent.
Gu Changqing's face turned dark.
"She used a divine golden brick and a Three Pure Ones rank divine image!"
"She directly broke through Gu Jiang's consciousness, completely shattering his weak points..."
"This little girl... so cunning and despicable in her fighting style!"
Gu Changqing spoke in a deep voice.
It must be said that the Sky Pill Divine Sect's Dragon Whelp Disciple indeed had a high realm, but it was achieved through pill cultivation. In terms of combat experience... this was something pills couldn't teach.
This little girl was only six years old...
How could she have such a cunning and despicable fighting style?!
Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.
The children from the Divine Sect and Dao City, brought by Lu Tai Bai to observe the fight, cheered excitedly.
The screams broke the silence of the spectator stand! Gu Changqing's face grew increasingly grim, and he abruptly flicked his sleeves, leaving the stand.
After her victory, Xi Xi, riding the Windfire Wheel, landed on the table with an air of superiority and began to enjoy the small banquet, a privilege reserved for the winner.
It was another Millennium Peach, but this one was bright red, as if soaked in blood.
Xi Xi didn't pay much attention and devoured the blood-red peach from the plate, leaving nothing behind. She then paired it with a cup of hot tea.
Then...
Xi Xi felt her Qi and blood surging uncontrollably, as if a silver divine aura, like lightning, was dancing around her.
On the spectator stand.
Many powerful cultivators immediately noticed Xi Xi's condition.
Their eyes narrowed in concentration.
"This little girl has eaten three 'Chi Long Blood Peaches' and is about to break through to the Grand Master realm!"
Without breaking through to the Grand Master realm, this girl was already so difficult to deal with...
After breaking through...
How could they fight her?
Lu Tai Bai suddenly burst into laughter, "Xi Xi and Gu Jiang's fight has already surpassed the usual preliminary banquet. The Queen Mother's divine sense has prepared even more exquisite delicacies!"
"It's actually Chi Long Blood Peach! This is a delicacy usually served at the main banquet!"
Lu Tai Bai's divine essence trembled.
The crowd left the spectator stand, and their consciousness returned to their bodies in the courtyard.
In the courtyard, divine essences intertwined.
Xi Xi returned, grasping five strands of the Queen Mother's divine essence from the peach branch.
Her entire body turned crimson, as if she had been pulled out of blood-red water!
Lu Tai Bai instantly appeared beside her, and a strand of sword Qi circled his finger, entering Xi Xi's forehead to help stabilize her surging Qi and blood.
He began guiding her in refining her Qi and blood, comprehending the Martial Dao Will, and charging towards the Divine Aura Grand Master realm!
A six-year-old Divine Aura Grand Master...
Even Lu Tai Bai couldn't help but be amazed.
Under the eaves.
Watching Xi Xi enter the breakthrough state.
Li Che slowly stood up, his face radiating harmless warmth.
"Since Xi Xi is about to break through to the Grand Master realm, let's pause her preliminary banquet for now."
"Let me, as her father, continue the performance."
Li Che's fingers intertwined.
He tore through the air.
In the next moment, a branch entwined with three strands of the Queen Mother's divine essence fell into his hand.
Lu Tai Bai's gaze swept across, carrying a hint of heaviness and concern.
He had a feeling...
He had inadvertently entered a game.
This bet, it seemed... was aimed at Li Che, no, it should be said it was aimed at the Monkey King!
He knew Li Che's Martial Dao cultivation was powerful...
The Monkey King's strength had likely reached the second level.
But...
Li Che's divine essence cultivation had just broken through the Divine Embryo realm.
Without revealing his Martial Dao cultivation...
Relying solely on divine essence...
Could he win?!
As Li Che pondered, he clenched the peach branch in his hand.
His entire body disappeared, matching him with an opponent and entering the temple.
Lu Tai Bai, intending to protect Xi Xi, didn't go to observe the fight.
Lost in thought, he turned to guide Xi Xi in condensing her divine aura.
But his body suddenly shook.
He turned around abruptly.
And saw Li Che, who had just disappeared...
Had already returned.
And was matching with the second opponent...
Lu Tai Bai was stunned.
How could he...
Be so fast?!
