Chapter 373: Xixi Plants a Giant Mushroom, Should I Kill Her? [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
Screech, screech!
The leaden clouds piled up, thick and heavy, with spring thunder booming behind them, like a deafening roar from the heavens, shaking the very soul.
The heavens and earth trembled, and the wind and rain shattered.
Zhang Yunlong, standing on the water dragon, seemed to be riding a true dragon, soaring through the sky like an immortal. His blue Daoist robe clung tightly to his body, outlining his slender figure.
But at this moment, Zhang Yunlong felt a heart-pounding sensation deep within his heart.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
A scorching heat wave surged forward, steaming the clouds into nothingness, and countless white waves rose, torn and shredded.
Then, in Zhang Yunlong's eyes, a blazing sun rose majestically!
Zhang Yunlong's hairpin on his head shattered, his long hair danced wildly, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
What...
What was that?!
In his eyes, only a golden Guanyin remained, rapidly growing larger, bursting with intense light and heat. Even from hundreds of feet away, he could feel the distorting and expanding power within the Guanyin, as if it would shatter the very air.
His sense of unease reached its peak!
What...
What kind of mechanism could create such a thing?!
Zhang Yunlong was stunned, as if he had truly seen a Buddhist Guanyin. As the hot, misty clouds were torn apart, he saw a thousand-armed Guanyin statue carved from benevolent wooden beams, its arms stacked to form... a cannon barrel.
Then, a dazzling light burst forth from the thousand arms!
And that dazzling light...
Was another Guanyin!
For a moment, the world seemed to fall silent, but the Guanyin, radiating dazzling light, had already crossed space and appeared before Zhang Yunlong, its eyes wide with shock and horror.
The Guanyin distorted and expanded, then suddenly exploded!
Brilliant light, endless splendor, and destructive, scorching heat!
Accompanied by a devastating shockwave...
It crashed down upon him!
It was as if a massively expanding sun, carrying immense propulsive force, descended with the speed of a comet's tail, crashing down!
The terrifying explosive power, enveloped within the sun, unleashed its fury!
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
In just an instant!
Zhang Yunlong's accumulated power from half a day shattered!
The countless spring water dragons beneath his feet almost instantly evaporated into hissing steam, and the air around him seemed to be sucked away, pushed aside by the force of destruction!
Incredibly powerful, it was like a giant Buddha's hand slamming down!
Zhang Yuanlong felt as if he couldn't even lift his head!
"Ah—"
"Ahhhh—"
Only a Martial Saint!
Only a Divine Embryo!
Could withstand such power!
Zhang Yunlong's hair stood on end!
Is this still the Dragon Hatchling Battle? Is this still the contest for the Dragon Hatchling Champion?!
A six-year-old girl could unleash such terrifying power?!
And you say this isn't cheating?!
Zhang Yuanlong felt an intense heat, as if he would be burned to ashes. Such a mechanism, an incredible mechanism!
Zhang Yuanlong's body plummeted, but it was too late, there was no time!
His fingers clenched violently, and the sword's cry rang out. Sword Qi ravaged the air, swirling around him, countless palm-sized flying swords rapidly stacked in front of him, forming a turtle shell-like defense!
"Block it!!!"
At the same time, Zhang Yuanlong's eyes turned crimson, and a red dot on his forehead grew larger, like a flying red date.
Immense divine power burst forth from his Niwan (the upper Dantian).
A divine shrine began to take shape—
But the Guanyin Lotus Cannonball, fired from the thousand-armed Guanyin statue, was too fast!
Accompanied by a terrifying explosion that shook the heavens and earth, the air seemed to ripple like a pond, with ripples spreading in all directions.
Golden light burst forth!
"Boom!!!
The terrifying recoil caused the rain behind the Guanyin statue to explode into water powder, shrouding the world in mist. The explosion was louder than the spring thunder.
The Guanyin Lotus Cannonball slammed into Zhang Yunlong's defense, which he had desperately constructed with flying swords, unleashing his divine power to resist.
The massive explosion resembled a colossal light ball, rapidly expanding. The sword-formed turtle shell defense crumbled like paper, instantly shattering...
Countless light and heat engulfed Zhang Yunlong's roaring figure.
The terrifying light ball, enormous in size, seemed to envelop the entire White Jade Plaza.
Countless raindrops evaporated, and the water-covered ground of the White Jade Plaza instantly dried, then turned scorching hot!
The light ball slammed into Zhang Yunlong's body, crashing onto the ground of the White Jade Plaza!
Boom, boom, boom!!!
Like the thunder of heaven, the earth shook as if mountains were moving!
The ground of the White Jade Plaza exploded instantly, the shockwave creating a towering wave, spreading out in all directions.
White jade bricks shattered into countless fragments, and mud and debris flew into the air, only to be blasted into powder by the next wave of the shockwave!
The light ball hitting the ground seemed to become a solid object, its edges erasing and annihilating everything in its path.
Explosion!
Explosion, and another explosion!!!
The shockwaves continued to spread throughout the entire Divine Capital's Second City.
The White Jade Plaza seemed to roll over, the powerful impact shattering the bricks, turning them into fine powder that rose like a tidal wave!
The massive light ball exploded!
Endless light and heat poured forth, accompanied by raging flames.
Lixi soared into the sky, her Divine Embryo Secret Technique unleashing a powerful blast, like a golden mushroom erupting from the ground.
"Holy shit!" exclaimed Lu Tai Bai, startled by the sight of Lixi's Thousand-Handed Guanyin War Tank unleashing a barrage of terrifyingly hot projectiles. Each shot, glowing with intense light and heat, plummeted down like a falling star, reminiscent of a Martial Saint's self-destructing power. Even Lu Tai Bai, usually calm and composed, couldn't help but exclaim in awe.
Lu Tai Bai's silver hair danced as he stood up abruptly, his eyes wide with disbelief. Could a six-year-old child possess such power? Even as Lixi's master, he had to admit that this feat was beyond her individual capabilities.
"This is the essence of the Way of Mechanisms..." Lu Tai Bai muttered, feeling that people might have underestimated the potential of this art.
The Tang Clan excelled in mechanical beasts, while the Gongshu family specialized in formation arrays, but Lixi's approach to mechanisms emphasized... blasting! This was a stark contrast to the philosophies of these two major mechanism clans.
As Zhang Yunlong was bombarded by the Guanyin Lotus Cannon and slammed into the ground, the entire Jade Square shattered. A towering mushroom cloud, over a hundred zhang tall, erupted, releasing divine radiation and wreaking havoc as it sought to expand beyond the square.
However, it was quickly contained. With numerous powerful individuals present at the Nine-Thousand-Year Peach Conference, such destructive forces couldn't be allowed to run rampant.
The four grand marshals of the Divine Capital Imperial Guards burst forth, each representing one of the Four Virtues: Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, and White Tiger. Clad in their respective colored divine armor, they raised their hands, unleashing a surge of blood essence and divine power.
Positioning themselves at the four sides of the square, they formed an immense barrier, containing the mushroom cloud's explosive force within, allowing only a slight breeze to escape. With their strength, suppressing the blast from the Guanyin Lotus Cannon was a relatively easy task.
Yet, even these grand marshals were filled with astonishment and shock. Could a six-year-old child possess such abilities? What were they doing at that age? Probably still struggling at the Zongshi realm!
The entire grand hall fell silent as the powerful figures watched the golden mushroom cloud bloom before them. The four grand marshals had contained the blast within the square, preventing the shockwaves from spreading. This containment caused the mushroom cloud to soar even higher—one hundred zhang, two hundred zhang, five hundred zhang, and finally, a thousand zhang!
The elongated cloud, accompanied by thunderous shockwaves, seemed to tear through the sky, piercing the leaden clouds. In that moment, the world was reduced to a single blossoming mushroom cloud. Below the grand hall, the Emperor and Empress gazed upward, their eyes wide with amazement at the spectacle.
The leaders of various divine sects stood frozen, their breaths caught in their throats. In the Lotus Pavilion's banquet area, the National Master, Xie Yunshen, paused mid-drink, his eyes wide with surprise.
"Remarkable, truly remarkable... This must be the mechanism technique of the Underworld's Horse-Face. This young girl has indeed inherited the legacy of the Underworld!" Xie Yunshen stroked his beard, his eyes sparkling with wonder.
This mechanism technique...
It posed no less of a threat than the Tang Clan's mechanisms!
A six-year-old girl had planted a giant mushroom, stunning the entire Divine Capital and even the National Master himself.
Ji Mo Li, seated at the banquet table, watched the terrifying mushroom cloud with his dark hair blowing in the wind and his eyes fixed on the erupting, exploding, and burning spectacle. A subtle emotion stirred within him.
After a long silence, he spoke in a low voice, "The Underworld..."
The Horse-Face of the Underworld was renowned for their mastery of mechanisms. The techniques Lixi displayed were the very same as those once used by the Horse-Face. Whether it was the sniping or the mushroom cloud, these are their methods," he thought.
In the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's banquet area, Zhang Yunhu, Zhang Yunhuang, and the three heroic figures from the sect froze in their tracks as they witnessed Zhang Yunlong being engulfed by the terrifying explosion.
Zhang Yunhu, in particular, looked up with fear in his eyes. He watched Lixi, riding the wind and fire golden light wheel and pursued by the rising mushroom cloud, retract her massive Guanyin mechanism and soar even higher.
A chill ran down his spine, and fear gripped his heart. If this young girl were to confront him with such mechanisms, how could he possibly defend against them? He feared...
He wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The mushroom cloud exploded, engulfing the entire White Jade Square within the Second City of the Divine Capital, leaving no room for escape. Under such an explosion...
There was nowhere to hide.
Zhang Yunlong had no chance to escape and was surely consumed by the blast. Moreover, the four grand marshals, due to the venue's layout, contained the shockwaves and destructive force within the square, making the impact and devastation even more intense than a simple mechanism explosion.
"Is... is Zhang Yunlong... not... dead?"
"Zhang Yun Hu exclaimed in shock.
He turned to look at Zongzhang Zhang Wuji, who was wearing a purple Daoist robe.
Zhang Yun Huang also glanced over, her face filled with fear.
Zhang Wuji flicked his dust-sweeping brush, his eyes reflecting the dazzling mushroom cloud, and shook his head gently.
"The power of this mechanism is almost on par with the strength of a Martial Saint..."
"At the very least, even a top-tier Grand Master at the Three Flowers level would surely perish. Even an ordinary Martial Saint would suffer severe injuries."
Zhang Wuji had exceptional eyesight and could instantly assess the power of the explosion.
"However... Yun Long has a 90% resonance with the Temple God. The Temple God he nurtures is highly compatible with him..."
"If Yun Long were to rely entirely on the Temple God..."
"He wouldn't die."
...
...
"What... what is this?"
"My goodness!"
"You call this a mechanism? This doesn't even qualify as one!"
...
In the Third City of the Divine Capital, the martial artists on the city walls all fixed their gazes on the confrontation in the center.
Many of them had witnessed Xi Xi using a mechanism to blast the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's second-tier Dragon, so they no longer underestimated her.
They felt that Xi Xi still had a chance, after all, that mechanism... was truly bizarre! It had incredible penetration power, and even Zhang Yun Hu, a half-step into the top-tier Three Flowers realm, almost fell victim to it. Even with the assistance of the Temple God's power from the shrine, he barely escaped.
No!
He should have been blasted already!
If not for Lian Gonggong of the Purple Sable Temple intervening and stopping the explosion of Zhang Yun Hu's head, Zhang Yun Hu might have had his head blown up and been on the brink of death. Therefore, everyone was highly interested in the final battle between Xi Xi and Zhang Yun Long.
Many favored Zhang Yun Long, but they also hoped that Xi Xi could pull off an upset and defeat a stronger opponent. This was mainly because Zhang Yun Long's fight with Shi Xuan had left the martial artists present feeling extremely angry.
The True Martial God Sect, stationed in Tongyu Dao, had been resisting the iron cavalry of the Dali King's Court for generations, engaging in bloody battles with the Dali barbarians. They were the epitome of true warriors.
However, Zhang Yun Long had defeated Shi Xuan in a humiliating manner and claimed that Shi Xuan disrespected him, which infuriated many.
Even when Shi Xuan was on the brink of death, he refused to use his fifth ring, his ultimate trump card...
Because it was Shi Xuan's last resort, a means to take the Dali barbarians down with him!
Such a tough and principled man, yet Zhang Yun Long's methods were infuriating.
Many came to watch the final battle between Xi Xi and Zhang Yun Long, hoping that Xi Xi would suppress Zhang Yun Long.
Even in the betting houses, the odds for Xi Xi increased, and some people, in a moment of excitement, placed bets on Xi Xi.
They all harbored a glimmer of hope that Xi Xi could defeat Zhang Yun Long.
However...
When Xi Xi and Zhang Yun Long truly engaged in battle, no one expected the situation to unfold like this!
This...
The entire city fell silent.
Li Nuan Xi of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect...
Was going to win?
The martial artists who bet on Xi Xi were even more bewildered.
