Chapter 354: The King of Hell's Touch Bestows Immortality, Unprecedented Consecutive Double Dao Frui
Chapter 354: The King of Hell's Touch Bestows Immortality, Unprecedented Consecutive Double Dao Fruit Transformation [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 2)
"Wow..."
"The Second City had just lost Ji Gui Fei, and in the Fourth City... the Divine Sect's delegation for the Peach Blossom Banquet was completely wiped out."
"The Divine Capital hasn't seen such brutality in many years."
Cold intent swirled in Wang Kui's eyes.
Besides Wang Kui, the Governor of the Temple Guarding Office, the Azure Dragon and White Tiger Mystic Guards' Grand Commanders, Xuan Qing Long and Xuan Bai Hu, also arrived. These two were also Peak Martial Saints, and as leaders of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger Mystic Guards, their words carried weight.
"Such a vicious criminal... truly brutal!"
Xuan Qing Long's eyes flashed with sharp intent, but there was also a sense of gravity.
After all...
Such a brutal murder had occurred right in the Fourth City, so close to the various Divine Sects, and yet no one had noticed.
If the white-robed monk hadn't thought of something and returned, who knows how long it would have taken to discover the truth.
"Where is the Yellow Eyebrow Grand Mage?"
Xuan Qing Long and Xuan Bai Hu stepped into the courtyard, which was filled with blood. There was hardly any space to stand.
"The attacker's martial prowess is extremely strong, with pure and domineering qi blood. They crushed them directly, and even this high-level monk with the Divine Embryo Three Transformations couldn't stop them, not even able to send a message. The attacker... must be a top-tier Peak Martial Saint!"
Wang Kui scanned the area and came to a conclusion.
Suddenly, he looked towards the distance, where a figure in heavy black armor appeared, followed by four three-meter-tall black-armored guards.
The expressions of the various powerhouses changed slightly.
It was as if Ji Maoli had brought his four sons!
"Such brutal methods... could it be Lu Tai Bai from the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, taking revenge on those who offended Heavenly Sound Temple recently?"
Xuan Qing Long spoke in a deep voice.
"Hey... Grand Commander Xuan Qing Long, don't make baseless accusations. I've been discussing important matters with Shi Jian, the Sect Master of True Martial Divine Sect, and he can vouch for me." Lu Tai Bai's Painted Immortal clone spread his hands and spoke.
Shi Jian immediately nodded, confirming that he had indeed been discussing important matters with Lu Tai Bai.
Xuan Qing Long's doubts vanished upon hearing this.
They might not believe Lu Tai Bai, but they wouldn't doubt Shi Jian.
The men of True Martial Divine Sect were straightforward; they wouldn't beat around the bush. Since Shi Jian said that Lu Tai Bai had been with him, he couldn't be lying.
Suddenly, the void began to tremble.
A black door seemed to open in the void, and a figure covered in blood tumbled out, it was not the Divine Heaven King who attacked, the power of the Dao Essence Tribulation still lingered...
Plop! The figure crashed onto the ground.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Yellow Eyebrow's face turned as pale as paper, his long eyebrows trembled, and the Buddha light on his body dimmed. He opened his mouth and spat out thick blood.
"Huff, huff, huff—"
Yellow Eyebrow covered his chest, his entire person in disarray, stained with blood.
"It's Yellow Eyebrow!"
"He's still alive!"
"The Great Mage!"
...
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
The white-robed monk, filled with grief and blood-red, knelt on the ground, his knees knocking as he moved. From deep within his throat, he let out a mournful sound.
So many of the Little Harmony Temple's senior and junior monks... all dead!
This person specializes in killing monks?
Will he also kill me?
I'm so scared!
Yellow Eyebrow's eyes dimmed, and he weakly raised his hand, gesturing.
"No harm, this poor monk... won't die."
His gaze swept across the entire temple, and his face turned crimson. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of bloody mist.
Grief, pain, and heart-wrenching emotions surged in his heart.
"Amitabha... such sin."
Wang Kui's gaze fell on Yellow Eyebrow, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Yellow Eyebrow, who attacked you?"
"The Netherworld..."
Yellow Eyebrow's face turned pale, and he shook his head, letting out a long sigh.
"Such a cruel Netherworld, such a ruthless Netherworld..."
Grief surged in Yellow Eyebrow's eyes.
"This poor monk was captured by the Netherworld King and taken to the Small Cave Heaven. There, I fought the Netherworld King, who had the advantage of time and location. I was no match for him, and in desperation, I had to use my trump card, the power of the Dao Essence Tribulation..."
"Although I injured the Netherworld King, I also suffered heavy injuries..."
Yellow Eyebrow did not hide anything and explained the situation.
"It's indeed the Netherworld... They can conceal their aura and commit crimes, and among the various powers, the only one I, as the Temple Governor, can think of is the Netherworld."
"The Great Mage used the power of the Dao Essence Tribulation?"
"The Netherworld King actually fought against a Great Mage who could use the power of the Dao Essence Tribulation?"
Wang Kui's gaze intensified.
Yellow Eyebrow raised his head, panting. "Governor Wang, don't underestimate the Netherworld. Don't underestimate the Netherworld King..."
"The Netherworld has been too mysterious until now. What is their true power? No one knows..."
"Perhaps, the Netherworld is one of the resurrected divine camps from the Mysterious Tower?"
Yellow Eyebrow pressed his palms together, filled with grief.
As soon as he spoke, not only did Wang Kui's expression change, but the sect leaders of various divine sects and Ji Maoli also reacted.
There were numerous top-tier experts present, and the sect leaders all had top-tier combat power.
Although many of them couldn't be ranked on the same list, they were genuine top-tier experts. As sect leaders, they also had some inside information.
Yellow Eyebrow believed that the Netherworld might be one of the resurrected divine camps from the Mysterious Tower. With Yellow Eyebrow's strength, this judgment was not baseless.
Combining the mystery of the Netherworld with the disappearance of the Divine Monkey, who mysteriously vanished after taking the Willful Golden Iron Staff, it was possible!
It was truly possible!
Wang Kui's expression changed, and he asked Yellow Eyebrow a few more questions before bowing. "Great Mage, accept my condolences."
"This official will do his utmost to apprehend the Netherworld and offer justice for the Dragonling Heroes of the Little Harmony Temple."
"Amitabha... Thank you, Governor Wang."
Yellow Eyebrow's voice was weak, but filled with grief.
Wang Kui then left with the Divine Guards and Forbidden Guards. The divine sect leaders also expressed their condolences and comforted one another.
Finally, the entire temple became completely empty.
The white-robed monk knelt on the ground, his entire body trembling.
"Rest assured, the Netherworld is after me. Sun Wukong and the others are suffering from this calamity because of my sins."
"And you, prepare yourself for what you must do."
"The Little Harmony Temple in the Divine Capital has lost many people. This Peach Blossom Festival may not have any peaches to offer..."
Upon hearing this, the white-robed monk finally let out a long breath.
He took his leave.
The Little Harmony Temple fell silent, filled with blood mist and death aura. Yellow Eyebrow's Buddha light was dim, as if he were meditating in the blood-red sea, illuminated by the golden light.
Suddenly, Yellow Eyebrow raised his head, palms pressed together, his expression calm.
"Your Highness, is this poor monk's handling of the situation acceptable?"
Yellow Eyebrow spoke.
Behind him, a figure stood with his back turned, and his black robe fluttered.
"Not bad."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Che's five fingers clenched, and his figure disappeared.
Outside the temple, footsteps echoed.
Ji Maoli, clad in black heavy armor, returned.
Ji Maoli looked at Yellow Eyebrow, sitting amidst the corpses in the blood-filled temple. His dark eyes flashed.
He approached, his gaze on the weakened Yellow Eyebrow.
Ji Maoli's lips curled slightly.
"The Little Harmony Temple, which created hell in Xiling..."
"But now, it has been turned into hell by someone..."
"How interesting."
"Is Yellow Eyebrow's heart filled with hatred and anger?"
Ji Maoli asked.
Yellow Eyebrow's eyes flickered slightly.
He stared at Ji Maoli without emotion.
"Your Highness, please speak."
Ji Maoli opened his hand.
"Great Mage, are you willing to join forces with me...?"
"To hunt down the Netherworld!"
Yellow Eyebrow's eyes flickered, and he suddenly raised his head, staring at Ji Maoli.
Suddenly, the intensity in his eyes seemed to dissipate.
"The whereabouts of the Netherworld's evil beings are mysterious and unpredictable, making it difficult to track them down. Hunting them is no easy task."
"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"
Ji Maoli stood up, looking down at the seemingly dispirited Yellow Eyebrow Great Mage.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"It's true that the Netherworld's evil beings are hard to find."
"But..."
"Li Che and Li Nuoxi, they are the two people the Netherworld is most concerned about..."
"This Li Che is even one of the Netherworld's evil beings."
"Using their lives as bait, we can lure out the Netherworld!"
Upon hearing this, Yellow Eyebrow's eyes, once clouded with confusion and despair, suddenly lit up with Buddha Light! The next moment, the Great Mage clasped his palms together.
As if even his back teeth were grinding.
"Amitabha!"
"Your Highness..."
"This monk is willing!"
...
...
Lu Tai Bai's Painting Immortal clone bid farewell to Shi Jian, the Sect Master of the True Martial God Sect.
Shi Jian also expressed his request, wanting the Nanhai Immortal Gatling Gun held by Xixi, the more the better.
However, Lu Tai Bai's Painting Immortal clone couldn't contact Xixi's mechanism, and if Shi Jian wanted to contact her, he should seek out Li Che. As a Divine Carving Half-Saint with expertise in mechanism techniques, Li Che might be able to help with the creation.
Shi Jian, with his tall and sturdy build, was clad in black armor, watching Lu Tai Bai with his silver hair flying and wide sleeves fluttering as he turned and left. A faint glint flashed in his eyes.
It's said that the warriors of the True Martial God Sect are crude and straightforward.
But Shi Jian wasn't foolish. This Lu Tai Bai who approached him seemed too coincidental, but that wasn't important. What mattered was that this Lu Tai Bai had an unusual aura.
Shi Jian, a nearly pure True Martial practitioner, had an extremely keen perception of qi blood.
As a top-tier expert, Lu Tai Bai's qi blood exuded sharpness, which Shi Jian was well aware of.
Who says warriors are stupid? Warriors can also be as cunning as tigers!
"It seems... this matter involves Lu Tai Bai collaborating with the Netherworld..."
"To kill Yellow Eyebrow."
"Without his past and future lives, there's no fault in wanting to kill him. If I were in your shoes, I'd want to kill him too."
Shi Jian rubbed his head, which was as sharp as a steel needle.
"I hope this favor will earn me that mechanism. If so, the True Martial God Sect disciples facing the barbaric Great Li King's Court on the Zhidao Road will have a powerful weapon."
...
...
In the ruins of Ink City Hell Capital.
Amidst the ruins, an invisible force was stirring, causing a dense ink-colored rain to fall, constantly restoring the city and rebuilding its structures.
The power of the top-tier experts was too overwhelming, and their unrestrained release had nearly destroyed Ink City, turning it into a wasteland.
Within the ruins, Li Che appeared, sitting cross-legged.
His ink-colored robe rustled, and he slowly removed the King of Hell mask, revealing his black and vigorous hair that seemed to crackle like thunderbolts in the air.
A hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes.
"Ji Maoli... inviting Yellow Eyebrow to join forces against me and Xixi?"
Li Che's strange expression carried a hint of ferocity.
As expected, Ji Maoli had set his sights on him and Xixi.
First, he manipulated Ji Gui Fei to influence the emperor, and now, he was collaborating with Yellow Eyebrow.
The threat of two top-tier experts, both on the same list, was enough to make anyone lose sleep.
Li Che and Xixi were likely to face a significant challenge.
After all, Li Che, having just defeated Yellow Eyebrow with Lu Tai Bai's help, was all too aware of the formidable threat posed by top-tier experts! Li Che believed that Ji Maoli must have also attained the Dao Essence Tribulation Power, but which of the Three Disasters' Dao Positions he had chosen remained unknown.
Li Che exhaled.
Fortunately, Yellow Eyebrow was now on his side.
With Ji Maoli's attention focused on Yellow Eyebrow, Li Che could, without hesitation, command Yellow Eyebrow to assassinate Ji Maoli if necessary!
Having planted a backstabbing ally by Ji Maoli's side, Li Che felt a sense of relief.
It was reassuring to have an insider among one's enemies.
Sitting amidst the self-repairing ruins of Ink City.
With this self-repair, Ink City's resilience would likely increase significantly. Moreover, it had absorbed the heavenly souls from Yellow Eyebrow's downfall and the scattered Dao Essence power.
Ink City Hell Capital was not only rebuilding but also strengthening its inhabitants, the captured spirits, as they cultivated within its boundaries.
The sound of rain pattered.
The ink-colored rain fell, but it was instantly vaporized by Li Che's qi blood.
"Huff—"
"Suck—"
The world fell silent, and the ruins of Ink City remained deathly still.
Suddenly, Li Che opened his eyes, and golden lightning arcs leaped, crackling in the void. Thunder rumbled, resembling a thousand birds chirping and a cacophony of noises.
Within his chest, the absorbed Celestial Thunder Tribulation Thunder's Lightning Magnet Body pulsated!
Li Che's black hair billowed wildly.
He felt as if countless invisible threads had emerged within Ink City, descending from above and curving beneath him, forming a closed loop! Li Che's eyes snapped open, and a golden thunder dragon roared.
Golden light flashed like thunder!
A prompt appeared.
[Dao Fruit: Lightning Magnet Body (lv4, 0%)]
And within the prompt.
The maturity of the transformed Dao Fruit, astonishingly, leaped from 1% to 99% in an instant!
Finally, with a thunderous vibration, the golden light changed once more!
[Dao Fruit: Lightning Magnet Body (lv5, 0%)]
Unprecedented!
Dao Fruit double transformation!
