Chapter 365: The Cursed Hell Lotus Girl, Slaughtering Gods for My Daughter (Part 1)
Chapter 365: The Cursed Hell Lotus Girl, Slaughtering Gods for My Daughter (Part 1)
Are gods truly unkillable?
But these temple gods were already dead to begin with.
In Li Che's opinion, the so-called inability to kill them was merely a matter of insufficient strength and means.
Fang Shangzhen, Yue Taofu, Lu Tai Bai, and the others were indeed powerful. Together, they could pummel the Golden Heavenly King Temple god of the Four Virtues Stage, causing cracks to appear all over its body, almost shattering it.
However, in reality, they should have held back a little, as Li Che knew that temple gods could be destroyed! Back in Heavenly Origin Dao City, Li Che had invited the Dog Lord to take action. With a single claw swipe, the Dog Lord had melted the Golden Heavenly King Temple god of the city, turning it into a pool of golden liquid.
At that time, the temple god was considered dead.
The Strange Shrine was almost on the verge of collapse.
Li Che could sense that the Dog Lord had held back and didn't completely annihilate the temple god. Otherwise, he might have faced some unpleasant consequences and the targeting of powerful beings.
After all, the Dog Lord had only used one claw.
Even though there was a difference in rank between the Strange Shrine in the Divine Capital and the one in Dao City...
Li Che guessed that, for the Dog Lord, it would probably just require one more claw.
His palm slowly brushed over the Bull Demon mask, and in his eyes, a golden flame gradually ignited, its scorching heat seemingly melting the air instantly.
An intense killing intent surged and billowed.
The Seven Treasures Bodhimanda Golden Buddha King Temple god had plotted against the Hell Lotus Wrathful Third Prince Temple god...
Perhaps this was a conflict between different factions within the Ghoulish Quarters, but...
What did that have to do with his daughter, Xi Xi?!
Why did they involve his daughter?
Xi Xi was only three or four years old when she accepted the inheritance of the Third Prince's Strange Shrine. Such a young child, what wrong could she have done? Why did she have to suffer such torment?
Thus, Li Che felt an extreme anger towards this Seven Treasures Bodhimanda Golden Buddha King Temple god. Of course, he was also concerned that this temple god might have some hidden tricks that could negatively affect the Hell Lotus Fire within Xi Xi.
If the Hell Lotus Fire within Xi Xi were triggered prematurely, without the Third Prince's divine will to suppress it, the situation would become dire.
Although this possibility was minuscule, Li Che dared not take the risk.
This was also why, after arriving in the Divine Capital, he didn't try to maintain a low profile. He needed to build connections and use the power of these connections to strengthen his public influence.
Upon reaching the Divine Capital, he first displayed his divine nature cultivation, reaching the power of the Divine Embryo Realm. Then, during the preliminary round of the Peach Blossom Banquet, he held nothing back, crushing all opponents to quickly obtain the qualification to attend the main banquet.
All of this was to build his reputation.
Originally, he planned to use this fame to enter the Seven Treasures Bodhimanda Golden Buddha King Pagoda Strange Shrine.
However, after participating in the Celestial Observation Bureau's Distinguished Guest Scholar assessment and receiving the approval of the Great Supervisor, all problems were resolved.
As long as he could enter the Seven Treasures Bodhimanda Golden Buddha King Pagoda Strange Shrine and leave behind the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, he would have a chance to eliminate this temple god!
Besides accumulating connections with the living, Li Che was also diligently building relationships with the dead.
He glanced at Xi Xi, who was sitting cross-legged in the cultivation room, diligently training...
Xi Xi was also aware of her situation, but she didn't want to be a burden to her father. She was determined to become stronger.
She knew that as long as she became powerful enough, she could overcome all calamities.
The Hell Lotus Fire would no longer be a threat to her!
Li Che witnessed Xi Xi's efforts and stubbornness.
His eyes, once filled with killing intent, softened.
"I just want to see you grow up safely..."
"So, whoever dares to stand in your way, I'll kill them!"
This had always been Li Che's determination.
From Flying Thunder City...
Until now.
Buzz—
His five fingers clenched, and in that instant, a white Flying Thunder Chess Piece appeared in his palm.
Li Che's entire body vanished in the blink of an eye!
...
...
Boom—
The Ghoulish Quarters quaked, and eerie mist rose, shrouding the dull night sky above the Grand Canal.
Numerous boats swiftly sailed across the river's surface, almost completely sealing off the area around the Ghoulish Quarters.
Powerful auras intertwined, and mighty vital energy roared.
The once calm river water surged, churning up tumultuous waves.
Hua Manlou stood on one of the boats, his robe fluttering in the wind, holding a paper fan. His expression was relaxed and carefree.
Beside him was Wang Kui, wearing the Town Guard Commander's robe and a golden ring on his nose.
"Wow, inviting two great gods, two top-tier experts, to beat up the Temple God of the Four Virtues Stage Strange Shrine..."
"This has never happened before."
Wang Kui couldn't help but smile, basking in the night breeze.
There was no need to mention Lu Tai Bai, who was the leader of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect. As a Sacred Falcon Demigod who passed the Celestial Observation Bureau's Distinguished Guest Scholar assessment, Li Che could receive assistance without any issues.
But why did Shi Jian of the True Martial Sect get involved?
Temple gods were a part of the Ghoulish Quarters, and cultivators would eventually have to deal with them.
Even if one destroyed a Strange Shrine in the mortal world, the temple god couldn't truly die. It would merely retreat into the Ghoulish Quarters.
After a hundred or eighty cycles of spring and autumn winds, they would emerge from the earth like spring bamboo shoots and once again take their places in the mortal world.
Furthermore, even if cultivators destroyed a temple god... their divine nature would still taint the cultivator's body.
It was like a bone-eating curse.
When cultivators break through the Divine Tribulation and Martial Deity realms, in order to avoid the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations, they enter the Ghoulish Quarters...
Perhaps they would face the reckoning of the divine forces.
So, beating up the Shrine Guardian was satisfying... But it was a thankless task.
"There's also Fang Shangzhen from the Divination Bureau and Yue Taofu..." Fang Shangzhen is from the Fang family, the only ancient clan in Jiangnan Dao, a scholarly family, and descendants of the Confucian Sage..."
"Fang Hanshu's older sister..."
Wang Kui's eyes narrowed as he mentioned Fang Hanshu.
"However, this time, the Shrine Guardian of the Seven Treasures Bodhimanda Golden Buddha King Pagoda in the Strange Shrine was beaten up, which saved us a lot of trouble..."
"The Shrine Guardian is weak, and the Ghoulish Quarters are also weak. They shouldn't show any signs of rebellion for a long time..."
"You and I will stay here, keeping watch for a few days to ensure there are no signs of rebellion in the Ghoulish Quarters... Then we can reduce the number of people guarding this Strange Shrine. The Peach Blossom Banquet is about to officially begin, so we can reassign some personnel."
Wang Kui said.
Upon hearing this, Hua Manlou's face turned slightly embarrassed.
"We have to keep watch for a few days?"
"Can we do it from the flower boat?"
Hua Manlou asked sincerely.
"Get out!"
Wang Kui glared at Hua Manlou. He wanted to do everything on the flower boat, but the Flower Queen had no such fragrance!
"Hehe, Brother Wang, you don't understand the beauty of the Flower Queen. They are light and graceful, and they are professionals at serving others. But since you have a wife, you don't understand the allure of the Flower Queen."
Hua Manlou couldn't help but open his paper fan and gently wave it.
Wang Kui's wife was the daughter of a feudal king and held the title of Princess. Her name as an iron vajra was renowned throughout the Divine Capital.
Many in the Temple Guard Command knew that this Governor Wang Kui was famous for being henpecked.
Wang Kui didn't bother to pay attention to him. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the Ghoulish Quarters shrouded in swirling, boiling mist.
For some reason...
Wang Kui had an inexplicable sense of unease.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out where this unease was coming from.
...
...
Crack! Crack!
The sky seemed to be filled with lightning, as if a spider web of lightning was woven between heaven and earth.
On the Grand Canal, the waves rose, and the wind and water were restless.
Within the Ghoulish Quarters, completely sealed off by the Temple Guardians, it was as if the air was twisting, and slowly, a tall and sturdy figure appeared before the dilapidated Golden Buddha King Temple.
The cracks on the ground resembled a spider web, and hot steam uncontrollably rose from them.
Crack!
A broken stone was crushed into powder by a footstep, instantly turning into dust.
Li Che's black and robust hair flew in the wind, and he wore a cute bull mask. In his eyes, a terrifying divine light raged and intertwined, and killing intent boiled.
His gaze fell on the tightly shut temple doors, as if he could see through the cracks and observe the Shrine Guardian slowly repairing the cracks on the Seven Treasures Bodhimanda Golden Buddha King Pagoda within the Strange Shrine.
It was like a dog licking its wounds behind closed doors.
Whoosh!
The howling wind blew fiercely, and the turbulent flow seemed to have alerted the Shrine Guardian within the Strange Shrine, causing the entire structure to tremble slightly.
As if countless golden rays of light were squeezing out from the cracks, pouring down in a dazzling display!
An extremely terrifying pressure, unique to the Shrine Guardian's level, unleashed and raged, bringing a sense of terror.
Under the mask, Li Che's eyes were indifferent, and he held the Willful Golden Iron Staff, which emitted a dazzling golden glow. In his left hand, there was a faint glint of a blade.
The Three-Bladed Double-Edged Saber, hidden in his left hand and fused with his bone, emitted a dazzling hum.
The two mythical weapons seemed to sense Li Che's overwhelming killing intent.
When he reached the entrance, he kicked out, slamming his foot heavily against the tightly shut temple doors.
An invisible wave of energy exploded the moment his foot landed!
Bang!
The golden doors were instantly shattered by Li Che's kick!
As Li Che's mind moved, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Fruit was stimulated, and his skin seemed to inflate like a balloon, continuously expanding and growing!
Golden vital energy, like a mist, exploded around him, forming a terrifying aura like a mythical golden smoke.
Buzz!
Lightning arcs danced, and bolt after bolt of lightning fell madly, dark golden lightning entwined around Li Che.
Heaven Soaring Thunder Armor.
Hell Thunder Heavenly Net!
Boom!!!
Within the Golden Buddha King Temple, the Golden Buddha King, covered in cracks, glared at Li Che, who was clad in thunder armor. From the rough cracks, a powerful divine nature seemed to flow out, transforming into a terrifying storm!
Vaguely, it was as if a divine being stood there, roaring, intimidating the lesser evil spirits!
A terrifying pressure, unique to the Four Virtues Shrine Guardians, descended like a mountain, bearing down on Li Che.
"You... finally came..."
A deep voice echoed throughout the Golden Buddha King Temple.
Under the mask, Li Che's eyes were ice-cold, and after activating the 'Climb Tower' state, he completely discarded his emotions, becoming an emotionless killing machine.
"You guessed right..."
The Golden Buddha King, covered in cracks, held up the pagoda, looking down at Li Che, who was clad in thunder armor.
Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly.
Vaguely, he sensed something amiss.
This Golden Buddha King... seemed to know Li Che would come?
It seemed to have calculated that the Golden Light Mansion and the Heavenly Origin Dao City's Seven Treasures Bodhimanda Golden Buddha King Pagoda Strange Shrine would be destroyed...
The Shrine Guardian of this Four Virtues Shrine Guardians Strange Shrine should also have sensed it.
Plus, getting beaten up for no reason...
So, it guessed the mastermind behind it.
This mastermind... wanted to kill it!
However, Li Che ignored the Golden Buddha King's words, and as he swayed, behind him, one after another, six suns rose!
Brilliant and dazzling, the golden light was blinding!
Li Che's eyes flowed with intense golden light, and as he moved, he snapped his fingers.
A black chess piece appeared out of thin air, floating in mid-air.
Like a storm surge, it twisted and transformed into a figure of a divine being, darkening and becoming a series of silhouettes.
"The Hell Lotus Daughter... has been born. It's the power of curses, the rules of fate. The gods will not allow the Hell Lotus Daughter to revive. You can't stop it, you can't block it..."
A deep voice whispered, like a divine murmur.
It echoed throughout the entire Seven Treasures Golden Buddha King Temple.
As if the Golden Buddha King himself was speaking.
Boom!
The divine statue of the Golden Buddha King Temple trembled, its massive palm clapping down. Brilliant golden light and divine energy erupted from the palm, expanding in circles, intense heat and light bursting forth.
Boom!
The towering figure of Li Che, as sturdy as a mountain, pushed forward with a punch. The Dragon Elephant roared, transforming into countless Dragon Elephants.
The enormous golden Dragon Elephants stomped down, fiercely colliding with the Golden Buddha King's palm.
A terrifying explosion followed, unleashing countless intertwining streams of light, a chaotic mess of destruction.
The divine dragons entwined around the giant elephants, their golden radiance blending with the Dragon Elephant's heavenly might. With the added power, the strike was nearly heaven-destroying.
The Golden Buddha King Temple statue, already weakened by the attacks of several top-tier experts and divine sages, had its palm directly shattered by Li Che's punch.
Brilliant golden light exploded, and Li Che transformed into a Bull Demon. His hair turned golden, falling to his waist, as he wildly danced, his muscles taut and trembling. His veins, skin, and bones seemed to vibrate violently.
Around him, the black chess pieces twisted and expanded, becoming powerful silhouettes that spanned the area.
As soon as Yue Huang Long appeared, his body ignited with fat, opening the gate to the netherworld, and summoning ultimate battle strength.
On the other side, Yellow Eyebrow's golden light shone, his palms pressed together, and his Vajra manifestation appeared, expanding and attacking the Golden Buddha King.
Han Sixin, the Fox Temple Guardian, didn't say a word.
