Chapter 348: Nether Lotus Out of Control, the Divine Monkey Invites Tai Bai to Kill Huang Mei in the Dead of Night (Part 2)
"Huang Mei."
Lu Tai Bai stood in the air, sword in hand.
Li Che's gaze followed, and from the depths of his pupils, a murderous intent erupted.
Previously, Li Che hadn't felt such intense murderous intent.
But this time, it was different...
In Li Che's eyes, the Little Harmony Temple was now on par with the Corpse God Sect, as they both threatened Xi Xi's safety.
The murderous intent was unstoppable.
Suddenly, Li Che's eyes moved, landing on Huang Mei's palms, where he noticed the golden finger bones emitting a radiant golden light.
And on the finger bone, a silent, black ring-like flame of the Nether Lotus burned.
A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
His breathing grew heavy.
"He... is injured."
Li Che was like a ferocious wild wolf, sensing the enemy's blood, his own blood boiling with excitement.
Inside the Little Harmony Temple.
Huang Mei slowly opened his eyes in response to Lu Tai Bai's harsh questioning.
"Amitabha..."
"I, the poor monk, accept my loss."
Huang Mei's face was calm.
His wager was much higher than that of the other sect leaders, as it was his own Three Incarnations.
The importance of his Three Incarnations was self-evident.
In the Heavenly Origin City, one of his incarnations had already been destroyed, leaving Huang Mei weakened.
But with this wager's failure, Huang Mei had to sacrifice another incarnation.
Lu Tai Bai pressed forward.
The Tribulation Sword slashed through Huang Mei's forehead, its edge gleaming.
Huang Mei's cloudy eyes fixed on the sword, a hint of apprehension in his gaze.
"Amitabha, Master Lu Tai Bai, rest assured. I am not one to back down from a bet. Having proposed the wager and placed the stake, I will not renege..."
"However, before fulfilling the wager, I wish to say something."
"The Nether Lotus Flame is a double-edged sword, a strange fire from the heavens that poses a significant threat. Li Nuoxi may not be able to control it, and if it goes out of control, turning into the Nether Lotus Witch, it could bring great disaster to the world, causing countless deaths and suffering to the people and countless living beings..."
Huang Mei's palms pressed together, his sad chant accompanied by the radiant Buddha's light.
The next moment, his eyes snapped open.
The multicolored Qianyuan Jade soared into the sky, and with a flickering weave of Buddha's light, a portal opened.
A golden statue of a divine falcon emerged, towering into the sky, and from it, a shadow appeared, as if the air itself was being crushed.
The divine falcon's eyes opened, its expression filled with sorrow.
"Master Lu Tai Bai, this is my future incarnation from my Three Incarnations... I, the poor monk, accept my loss. Today..."
"I will sever my future incarnation!"
As the words fell, Huang Mei, the Great Mage, pushed his palms together towards the sky.
A beam of Buddha's light shot up, transforming into a sharp blade that slashed through the air.
The entire night seemed to be illuminated in that instant!
In the Nine Cities of the Divine Capital, everyone seemed to witness a colossal Buddha, its lamentations echoing as it shattered inch by inch!
The blade cleaved through the air!
The future incarnation of Huang Mei, the divine falcon, was cut into nine pieces, and as the Buddha's light on the blade trembled, the divine falcon was destroyed, leaving Lu Tai Bai no chance to restore it.
Lu Tai Bai's face darkened, and with a sweep of his wide sleeves, he gathered the shattered future incarnation.
A sinister and despicable bald donkey!
Huang Mei probably guessed that Lu Tai Bai wanted to take away one of his three lives, his future self, to be used by Li Che, the Divine Falcon Demi-Saint, for his research on Divine Falcon techniques.
From the Demi-Saint Divine Falcon, he hoped to study and... aspire to become a Divine Falcon Master!
If the Southern Lingnan Qianyuan Divine Sect were to have another Divine Falcon Master, the sect's Divine Falcon affairs, which had been dormant, would be completely revitalized!
With the sect's affairs revitalized, the Little Harmony Temple's Divine Falcon business would naturally suffer a heavy blow.
"My wager is... If I lose, I will self-immolate one of my three lives. But I will not hand over my three lives to you."
"Don't mind it, Tai Bai benefactor."
The vast Divine Energy of his future self seemed to leave him at this moment.
The face of the Great Mage Huang Mei turned pale, and his deep eyes dimmed, making him look as if he had aged by a whole cycle.
Lu Tai Bai's face was cold, and Li Che also wore a stern expression.
They did not show any admiration for Huang Mei's self-immolation.
In fact, if Huang Mei hadn't said those words before self-immolating, both Li Che and Lu Tai Bai would have admired his decisiveness.
But he actually shifted the blame and tried to implicate Xi Xi before self-immolating, even wanting to put her in a difficult situation.
It was as if he wanted to place Xi Xi on a hot stove.
What nonsense was he spouting about Xi Xi's Infernal Lotus Flame being uncontrollable, that it would eventually erupt and turn her into a monster controlled by the flame?
Causing chaos and harming the people! Li Che was furious. How dare this old bald donkey speak ill of his daughter!
With a father like Li Che, who is honest and reliable, controlling her future path, how could Xi Xi possibly go astray?
Lu Tai Bai understood this as well. Huang Mei was spreading the word about the Infernal Lotus Flame within Xi Xi, implying that if she couldn't control the flame, it would cause great harm in the future.
Huang Mei's words were clearly not meant for everyone, but for the person in the First City of the Divine Capital.
If that person took notice, there might indeed be some trouble.
So, Lu Tai Bai silently cursed Huang Mei for his despicable act.
However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't take action because Huang Mei had fulfilled the wager and self-immolated his future self.
Lu Tai Bai clenched his fist around the Tai Bai Sword, and a dazzling sword light soared into the sky, emitting a brilliant sword chant.
Lu Tai Bai said coldly, "Xi Xi is the personal disciple of our sect leader. As the Young Master of Qianyuan, our sect leader is naturally aware of her situation."
"You don't need to worry."
"It's just the flame of the Infernal Lotus. Our sect leader can suppress it."
Lu Tai Bai spoke calmly.
"This wager was just a warning. Don't think you can bully Qianyuan Divine Sect. Next time, if you insult our disciples without reason..."
"My sword will no longer be merciful."
Boom!
Lu Tai Bai descended from the sky, gripping the Tai Bai Sword.
The sword light resembled a dragon, roaring and clanging.
A sword light suddenly flashed through the Little Harmony Temple, causing the ground to crack, sand to fly, and rocks to shoot through the air!
The temple seemed to be split in half.
The terrifying power of the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword wreaked havoc, making everyone feel an immense pressure.
Lu Tai Bai left, taking Li Che and Zhao Fangzhou with him.
The atmosphere in the temple became solemn, and the strong figures within grew even more serious.
Gu Changqing, Ning Caisen, Zhao Chunqiu, and others gracefully descended, looking at Huang Mei, whose face had turned pale after self-immolating his future self.
"Lu Tai Bai has mastered the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword. He's not far from fully comprehending the God-Slaying Wind Tribulation Sword."
"He truly possesses heavenly talent. If the ancestor of Qianyuan Divine Sect hadn't passed away..."
"Qianyuan Divine Sect might have two Divine Tribulation Masters in the future..."
"Plus, there's Xi Xi, the Dragonling who controls the Infernal Lotus Flame, and Li Che, the hero who cultivated the Divine Embryo in just six years..."
"Qianyuan Divine Sect... might truly have a chance to become the next Qitian Temple!"
Huang Mei coughed lightly, his face turning even paler.
But his words made the hearts of the Divine Sect leaders even heavier.
The night wind gradually quieted down.
After a long time, no one knew how long it had been.
A soft voice echoed in the courtyard.
"We can't let Lu Tai Bai reach the Divine Tribulation..."
...
...
For the children of Qianyuan Divine Sect and Heavenly Origin City, this night was destined to be sleepless.
Everyone cheered and rejoiced, celebrating Xi Xi's return after eating the peach, clapping and jumping for joy.
"What a pity, Xi Xi the Great hasn't had enough!"
Xi Xi clenched her fists and placed them on her waist, tilting her head up at a forty-five-degree angle, feeling a bit unsatisfied.
Xi Xi didn't know how she had defeated that Martial Daoist who made her feel so pressured.
But it didn't matter; Xi Xi the Great had won, and that was an ironclad fact that no one could change, not even her father!
Lu Tai Bai and Li Che's group returned with their winnings, further elevating the atmosphere in Qianyuan Temple to a boiling point.
Even the usually stoic Nie Yang couldn't help but show a smile.
The commotion subsided.
Li Che returned to his room.
He raised his hand and touched his brow, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard appeared, expanding and intertwining.
Li Che sat in the chair, his eyes shimmering.
His mind moved slightly.
The maturity of his Dao Fruit appeared before him.
[Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV6, 11%), Impureless Heart (LV6, 5%)...]
The two Dao Fruits that had reached LV6 didn't show much improvement in maturity.
This battle didn't significantly increase the maturity of Li Che's Dao Fruits...
The Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit had only increased by 1%, which was almost negligible.
This was mainly because Li Che relied on Divine Energy techniques.
If he had truly killed his opponents, there might have been some improvement. To gain a 1% increase without killing them was already a recognition of Li Che's combat experience.
He closed his eyes.
"Huuu—"
"Su—"
Within the room, chaotic currents surged, and a fierce wind suddenly arose.
The curtains flapped violently, and the candle flames flickered dimly.
After a long while, Li Che opened his eyes, his gaze filled with an intense killing intent that he couldn't suppress.
"Huang Mei!"
Beneath Li Che's calm, ancient-well-like eyes, a storm of killing intent raged.
This Huang Mei...
Almost triggered the Prison Lotus Flame within Xi Xi's body, giving Li Che a sense of urgency.
Originally, the Prison Lotus Flame inside Xi Xi was like a time bomb, but now... Huang Mei held the detonator.
How could Li Che remain calm?
Although the main detonator was the Seven Treasures Sacred Relic Tower in the Divine Capital...
Still, a temple deity and a cultivator were fundamentally different.
"Huang Mei has self-immolated his future self... and with his past self already being cut off, it means that only his present self remains, which should be Huang Mei himself."
Li Che's eyes glinted faintly.
"So... this is the weakest time for Huang Mei."
"Not only that, but Huang Mei is also injured!"
"Time waits for no one..."
Li Che's entire body suddenly emitted a sound like popping beans, as thick and powerful blood and qi slowly surged.
In the next moment,
He pressed two fingers together, tearing through the air, and from the space of the Heaven and Earth Jade, he took out the peach he had packed away from the pre-banquet, the eight-hundred-year-old Chi Long Blood Peach!
It was incredibly red and scorching hot.
Eating the Black Phoenix Spirit Peach had brought a baptism and enhancement at the soul level, nearly pushing numerous golden pills to the brink of forming a divine embryo.
Without hesitation, Li Che directly consumed the Chi Long Blood Peach.
As soon as the peach entered his stomach, the blood and qi within his body immediately began to boil. With Li Che having reached the Qi Sea Realm, he felt as if a vast essence was surging out from his dantian.
Above Li Che's head, the strange phenomenon of the Qi Sea Golden Pool appeared.
The Qi Sea Golden Pool, reaching ten zhang in size, seemed to gradually expand under the energy boost from the Chi Long Blood Peach.
It expanded to a fifteen-zhang blood qi golden pool!
The golden blood qi water churned as if an enraged dragon was roaring!
"Still... an eight-hundred-year-old Chi Long Blood Peach has stabilized my Qi Sea Martial Saint cultivation."
"Good."
"If it was a Chi Long Blood Peach over a thousand years old, the improvement would likely be even better."
Li Che's gaze, in the dimly lit room, suddenly became brilliantly bright.
Standing up, his black robe flapped in the wind.
Li Che carefully took off his black robe embroidered with golden lotuses, a birthday gift handmade by his wife, Zhang Ya.
Li Che wouldn't dare wear it into battle; with his fighting style, if he really wore this robe to kill someone, it might not last a second before being torn apart.
"Killing Huang Mei..."
"This is the best opportunity."
He wouldn't let this chance slip away.
Once Huang Mei had exhausted the power of the Prison Lotus Flame...
Finding such a good opportunity again would be impossible.
"However, to be on the safe side... I should invite some helpers."
Li Che changed into a black robe with elasticity, placed a hood over his face, and then from the Heaven and Earth space, he grabbed the Divine Monkey Mask with five fingers.
In his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit vibrated.
The Sleeping Dragon Elephant activated, and Li Che's aura seemed to vanish completely from the world.
He blended into the night.
...
...
Lu Tai Bai sat cross-legged.
The flesh and blood on his eyebrow slowly healed, and countless sword qi, like embroidery needles, pulled and stitched his flesh together.
As if trying to reseal the God-Killing Wind Tribulation Sword.
After about thirty breaths,
Lu Tai Bai finally finished stitching his flesh together.
the terrifying fluctuations of the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword also returned to complete stillness.
"Dao Essence Tribulation Sword... indeed, it was too much of a stretch."
"However, revealing the Tribulation Sword this time was enough to intimidate those fellows and draw the focus from Xi Xi to me..."
"Let anything they have come at me, the master."
Lu Tai Bai stretched his arms, his sleeves wildly flapped, and he exhaled a breath filled with sharp sword qi.
The candle flames flickered dimly.
Lu Tai Bai suddenly looked toward a corner of the room.
He saw a figure wearing a Divine Monkey Mask silently appear from the darkness.
Indeed, something was off...
Lu Tai Bai had been immersed in the process of healing and resealing the Dao Essence Tribulation Sword and hadn't paid much attention before.
Now, upon careful perception, he detected the other's aura, which seemed to have been completely erased from the world.
If not for his extremely sharp sword qi, he might not have noticed even the slightest anomaly...
He was a top-tier ultimate apex cultivator!
For someone to deceive his perception, this concealment technique was truly unparalleled in the world!
The mask with a carefree smile on the Divine Monkey's face left Lu Tai Bai slightly stunned.
Lu Tai Bai naturally knew who was beneath the Divine Monkey Mask.
He was just surprised...
Why had the other come to his room in the middle of the night?
"Li... Netherworld Divine Monkey?"
"Visiting late at night, what is it?"
Lu Tai Bai frowned. Since Li Che had come in the identity of the Divine Monkey, it represented the Netherworld...
Therefore, Lu Tai Bai ultimately changed his words and didn't directly reveal Li Che's true identity.
"Master..."
"You acted too early..."
Li Che raised his hand, pressed down on the Divine Monkey Mask, his eyes bright and filled with recklessness and madness.
"The Netherworld wants to invite you to..."
"Kill Huang Mei!"
