Chapter 373: Xixi Plants a Mushroom, Should I Kill Her for You? [Seeking Monthly Votes]



Kacha, kacha—!

The leaden clouds piled up, thick and heavy, with spring thunder rumbling behind them, like a heavenly deity roaring deafeningly, shaking one's heart and soul.

The heavens trembled, and the wind and rain shattered.

Zhang Yunlong stood atop a water dragon, as if riding a true dragon, soaring in the sky like a celestial being. His azure Dao robe clung tightly to his body, outlining his slender figure.

But at this moment, Zhang Yunlong felt a heart-pounding sensation deep within him.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

A scorching heat wave surged, steaming the clouds in the sky, and countless white waves rose, torn apart.

Then, in Zhang Yunlong's eyes, a dazzling sun rose majestically!

The hairpin on Zhang Yunlong's head shattered, and his black hair danced wildly, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

What...

What the hell?

In his eyes, only a golden Guanyin remained, rapidly growing larger, bursting with intense light and heat. Even from hundreds of zhang away, he could feel the distorting and expanding power within the Guanyin, as if it would shatter the very air!

A sense of unease in his heart reached its peak at this moment!

What...

Mechanism?! How could there be such a mechanism in this world?!

Zhang Yunlong felt as if he had truly seen a Buddhist Guanyin! As the steaming clouds and mist were torn apart, he saw a massive wooden carving of a Thousand-Armed Guanyin with a kind and benevolent expression, its thousand arms forming... a cannon barrel...

Then, a dazzling light burst forth from the thousand arms!

And that dazzling light...

Was also a Guanyin!

At this moment, the heavens seemed silent, but the Guanyin emitting dazzling light had already crossed space and appeared before Zhang Yunlong!

In Zhang Yunlong's horrified eyes.

The Guanyin distorted and expanded, then suddenly exploded!

Brilliant light, endless dazzling light, and destructive, scorching heat waves!

Accompanied by a devastating shockwave...

It crashed down upon him!

It was as if a massively expanding sun, carrying immense propulsive force, with a comet-like impact speed, was falling directly upon him! The terrifying explosive power was contained within the sun, unleashing its destruction.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

It was just a fleeting moment!

Zhang Yunlong's accumulated momentum 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 destructive force!

Incredibly powerful, it was like a giant Buddhist hand slamming down.

Zhang Yuanlong felt as if he couldn't even lift his head!

"Ah—"

"Ahhhh—"

Such power!

Only a Martial Sage!

Only a Divine Embryo!

Could withstand this!

Zhang Yunlong's hair stood on end!

Is this still the Dragonlet Battle? Is this still the fight for the Dragonlet Champion?!

A six-year-old girl could unleash such terrifying power?

And you say this isn't cheating?

Zhang Yuanlong felt an intense heat, a force that seemed to want to burn him to ashes. Such a mechanism, an incredible mechanism!

Zhang Yuanlong's body plummeted, but there was no time, not even a moment!

His five fingers clenched violently, and the swords hummed and exploded, their auras raging through the air, countless palm-sized flying swords swirling around him, rapidly stacking up like a tortoise shell.

"Block it—!!!"

At the same time.

Zhang Yuanlong's eyes turned crimson, and a red dot between his eyebrows grew larger, like a flying red date.

Immense divine nature burst forth from his Niwan Palace.

The divine shrine began to materialize—

But the Bodhimanda Lotus Shell, fired from the Bodhimanda Lotus Main Battle Tank with the speed of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, was truly too fast!

Accompanied by a terrifying explosion that shook the heavens and earth!

In the air a thousand zhang high, it was as if a carpet was suddenly shaken, ripples spreading and expanding—

Golden light burst forth!

"Boom—!!!"

The terrifying recoil force caused the rain behind the Bodhimanda Lotus Main Battle Tank to turn into water powder, shrouding the heavens and earth! The explosion sounded louder than the spring thunder.

The Bodhimanda Lotus Shell had already slammed into Zhang Yunlong's defense, which he had desperately constructed with flying swords to unleash his divine nature and withstand the attack!

The massive explosion was like an enormous light ball, rapidly expanding, and the sword-formed tortoise shell defense shattered like paper, instantly collapsing and exploding...

Countless light and heat engulfed Zhang Yunlong's roaring figure!

The terrifying light ball, enormous in size, seemed to envelop the entire White Jade Square.

Countless raindrops evaporated, and the water-logged ground of the White Jade Square instantly dried up, then became scorching hot!

The light ball slammed into Zhang Yunlong's body, crashing onto the ground of the White Jade Square!

Boom, boom, boom!!!

It was as if the heavens were enraged, the mountains shaking!

The ground of the White Jade Square almost exploded instantly, and the shockwave created a towering wave, spreading in all directions.

The white jade bricks shattered into countless pieces, and the debris and mud flew up like a tidal wave!

The light ball hit the ground, becoming a solid object, its edges shattering and destroying everything in its path...

Explosion!

Explosion, and another explosion!!!

The shockwaves continued to spread throughout the entire Divine Capital Second City!

The White Jade Square seemed to roll over, and the powerful impact crushed the square, shattering the bricks into fine powder, like a surging tide.

The massive light ball exploded!

Endless light and heat poured forth, accompanied by raging flames.

2000: Britney Spears

Career Biography:

In the year 2000, Britney Spears, a six-year-old girl, made her debut on the global stage. With her powerful voice and captivating stage presence, she quickly rose to fame, becoming a household name in the music industry. Her unique style and energetic performances captivated audiences worldwide, solidifying her status as a pop icon.

The Peach Blossom Banquet:

Fast forward to the present day, and Britney is now a renowned martial artist, invited to the prestigious Peach Blossom Banquet in the Divine Capital. As she sits at the banquet table, her black hair dancing in the wind, her eyes fixate on the terrifying golden mushroom cloud that erupts into the sky. A faint emotion stirs within her as she witnesses the sheer power and destruction it unleashes.

The Blast:

The banquet is suddenly interrupted by a deafening explosion. The source is none other than Britney, who has unleashed a devastating attack. The force of the blast sends shockwaves through the air, causing the entire White Jade Square to tremble. The once-pristine square is now a scene of chaos and destruction.

The Aftermath:

In the aftermath of the explosion, a towering mushroom cloud rises, reaching a staggering height of a thousand zhang. The air is thick with the acrid smell of smoke and the lingering heat from the blast. The surrounding area is in disarray, with debris and shattered remnants of the square scattered everywhere.

The Reaction:

The onlookers, including the Emperor and Empress, are left in awe and disbelief. They gaze upon the mushroom cloud, their eyes wide with astonishment. The sect leaders of various divine sects are frozen in place, their expressions a mix of shock and concern. Even the Grand Tutor Xie Yunsen, known for his composure, is taken aback by the sheer power on display.

The Revelation:

"This is truly fascinating," Xie Yunsen remarks, stroking his beard. "This must be the mechanism art of the Underworld Horse Face. This young lady has indeed inherited the legacy of the Underworld!" His eyes sparkle with a newfound understanding.

The Impact:

The revelation of Britney's connection to the Underworld Horse Face mechanism art sends a ripple of unease through the crowd. The young lady, barely six years old, has demonstrated a level of power that rivals the renowned Tang Clan and Gongshu Family. Her ability to create such a destructive mushroom cloud has left everyone, including the Grand Tutor, in a state of shock.

The Conclusion:

As the dust settles and the mushroom cloud dissipates, the impact of Britney's demonstration lingers in the air. The once-peaceful banquet has been transformed into a testament to the power of mechanism art. The young lady, Britney Spears, has left an indelible mark on the Divine Capital, showcasing the potential of a new generation of martial artists.

"Zhang Yun Hu exclaimed in shock, turning to look at the Sect Leader Zhang Wu Ji, who was clad in a purple Daoist robe."

Zhang Yun Huang also looked over with trepidation.

Zhang Wu Ji flicked his dust-sweeping brush, his eyes reflecting the dazzling mushroom cloud, and shook his head slightly.

"The power of this mechanism is almost on par with the Martial Saint level..."

"At least, even a top-tier Great Master at the Three Flowers level would surely perish. Even an ordinary Martial Saint would lose a layer of skin."

Zhang Wu Ji had exceptional eyesight, and with a single glance, he could gauge the might of the explosion.

"However... Yun Long has the resonance of nine Temple Deities, and the Temple Deity he cultivates is extremely compatible with him..."

"If Yun Long entrusts everything to the Temple Deity..."

"He won't die."

"..."

"..."

"What... What is this?"

"My heavens!"

"You call this a mechanism? This isn't a mechanism at all!"

"..."

In the Third City of the Divine Capital, the Jianghu cultivators on the city walls and below were all intently watching the ongoing confrontation.

Many of them had witnessed Xixi using a mechanism to blast the Purple Mansion Divine Sect's Shrine Deity, and their perception of her had changed.

Some believed that Xixi still had a chance, as that mechanism... was indeed bizarre! Its penetrating power was incredibly strong. Even Zhang Yun Hu, a Martial Saint at the Half-step Three Flowers realm, nearly got blasted by it, and he had to rely on the Temple Deity's power to survive!

No!

He should have been blasted!

If not for the intervention of the Purple Robe Daoist Temple's Lian Gong Gong, who stopped Zhang Yun Hu's head from exploding, Zhang Yun Hu might have had his head blown open, nearing death!

Therefore, everyone was intently watching, hoping to see Xixi suppress Zhang Yun Hu.

Even the betting odds in the gambling houses had shifted, with Xixi's odds increasing. Some, in a moment of passion, placed their bets on Xixi.

They wanted to witness Xixi's victory.

However, after the actual confrontation between Xixi and Zhang Yun Hu began...

No one had expected the situation to turn out this way!

The entire city, from top to bottom, fell silent.

Li Wanxi of the Heavenly and Earth Divine Sect...

Was she going to win?

The Jianghu cultivators who had bet on Xixi were left in a daze...

Li Che took a sip of wine, his eyebrows raising slightly, revealing a peculiar expression.

"He's not dead."

"The Purple Mansion Divine Sect, as the number one sect in the Great Jing, indeed has some impressive cultivation methods."

Through Li Che's perception of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he could clearly sense a faint, pulsating vitality amidst the devastating annihilation of the mushroom cloud.

In Li Che's perception, it was like thunder, reverberating in his mind.

Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed a solemn expression.

"The Temple Deity..."

Cultivating the Temple Deity, exchanging it for the Temple Deity's Divine Nature...

But at this moment, Zhang Yun Hu was completely entrusting himself to the Temple Deity! He had abandoned even the last shred of self-control!"

Li Che finished his cup of wine, his gaze turning to the white jade square ruins beneath the golden mushroom cloud's dissipation.

A purple Divine Nature surged out frantically, while golden flames raged, their impact waves seemingly suppressed.

The mushroom cloud began to collapse and disintegrate, eventually fading into nothingness, leaving behind only a blackened, desolate landscape on the white jade square, with heat still radiating from the ground.

The ground was covered in melted, blackened remains, even crystallized fragments of the square's debris.

And amidst the ruins...

A frail figure stood, swaying slightly, as if enveloped in a purple divine aura.

It was Zhang Yun Hu!

Having endured a barrage from Guanyin's Seated Cannon and the impact of Guanyin's Lotus Blast, he still stood unyielding!

Behind him, a shrine-like structure floated, emitting a purple aura. Chains extended from the shrine, latching onto Zhang Yun Hu's back.

Zhang Yun Hu let out a shrill howl, his entire body contorting as if his bones were cracking and popping.

His charred skin oozed with blood.

Zhang Yun Hu's hair turned completely purple, and his eyes erupted with dazzling purple light!

An intense Divine Nature surged within his body, transforming his flesh, veins, and bones.

The divine nature of the Temple Deity seemed to come alive, forming a tadpole-like curse seal that constantly crawled and attached itself to Zhang Yun Long's body!

Zhang Yun Long's Daoist robe was already tattered, leaving only a few rags hanging on his body, but vaguely, his figure emerged, transforming into purple armor covering his body.

The banquet area of the Purple Mansion Divine Sect.

Zhang Wu Ji frowned and sighed.

Zhang Yun Hu and Zhang Yun Huang, the two young disciples, seemed to have lost all their strength, staggering backward and sitting on the ground...

"How could this be?"

"How could this happen... Yun Long, you've given complete control of your body to the Temple Deity?"

"After being possessed by the Temple Deity, the physical body will be altered by its divine nature... It will become a cursed corpse!"

"It's... over."

The little Daoist nun, Zhang Yun Huang, covered her face, and tears fell, sobbing uncontrollably.

Zhang Yun Hu also looked desolate.

Zhang Wu Ji shook his head: "Yun Long is too extreme... We're supposed to slowly learn to control the Temple Deity, not be controlled by it..."

"You've got it backward, and it will only harm yourself."

"You've never understood this point."

Zhang Wu Ji sighed.

But at least, Zhang Yun Long was still standing, still able to fight...

Perhaps, this was the reason Zhang Yun Long took that step, sealing his future.

Why bother?

Acting like a six-year-old brat, what's the point of getting angry?

...

The mushroom cloud dispersed.

Xixi stepped on the Hell Lotus Wind Fire Golden Wheel, gasping heavily.

The activation of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Seated Lotus required the consumption of vital energy and divine nature. For Xixi, one blast was already her limit.

She wanted to blast again, to plant another firework, but I need some time to recover my vital energy and divine nature."

Behind her, the Hell Lotus Divine Symbol appeared, its three faces showing her own, with three heads, each displaying a different aspect of the Trinity!

Suspended a thousand zhang high, the Golden Wheel emitted blazing sparks, lifting her body.

Xixi's lips curved into a smile, unable to close her mouth, so beautiful!

This firework, this grand firework...

It exploded in Xixi's heart, and she loved it so much!

But alas...

"You didn't kill him."

Xixi hugged her chest, slowly lowering her head, gazing down from a thousand zhang high at the white jade square, now reduced to ruins by the mushroom cloud.

In the middle of the white jade square, the ground steamed with heat, and the spring rain falling from the sky seemed to hiss as it hit the ground, creating white steam.

The white steam parted, and purple energy surged! Zhang Yun Long's purple hair danced, his face covered in purple tadpole-like curse seals, his purple eyes overflowing with purple energy, boldly staring at Xixi high above.

He straightened his body, becoming taller and more robust.

His purple hair flowed down to his waist.

He felt his power surging, and vaguely, he seemed to touch the divine embryo.

"So fast!"

A thousand zhang high, Xixi's face twitched.

The speed was too fast!

Zhang Yun Long's speed, after being possessed by the Temple Deity, is almost comparable to a true divine embryo!

A thousand zhang in the air, it seemed as if a purple light trail was left behind, like the lingering aftermath of sword intent, refusing to dissipate!

Purple sword energy soared into the sky, fiercely slashing towards Xixi, who was standing on the Hell Lotus Wind Fire Golden Wheel!

Xixi had just experienced a massive consumption.

She knew that relying solely on her martial arts and divine nature, facing Zhang Yun Long possessed by the Temple Deity, would only result in her instant defeat!

So...

Xixi clenched her fists, and a Fire Deity Bodhi Barrette appeared in her hand, while the other hand suddenly threw out.

Hundreds of white flying thunder chess pieces, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, spread across the entire thousand zhang high sky...

Xixi planned to use the same strategy she employed against Zhang Yun Hu, to fight against Zhang Yun Long...

Xixi's eyes shone, knowing that the Temple Deity's possession couldn't last, and the longer Zhang Yun Long remained possessed, the closer he was to death!

So, what Xixi needed to do was buy time!

Hum—

Holding the Fire Deity Bodhi Barrette, she pulled the trigger.

Zhang Yunlong clenched the flying thunder chess piece and vanished.

He reappeared several hundred meters away.

Golden light shot out, and the Fire Deity Bodhi Dragon Teeth bullets, resembling golden threads, tore through the sky, piercing toward the back of Zhang Yunlong’s head.

However,

Zhang Yunlong’s eyes darted, following Xi Xi’s movement and the speed of the Bodhi Dragon Teeth.

With a loud explosion, Zhang Yunlong raised his five fingers, with purple divine nature covering his palm, and managed to catch the Bodhi Dragon Tooth.

Although the terrifying piercing force of the Bodhi Dragon Tooth tore through the purple divine nature and embedded itself into Zhang Yunlong’s palm,

That was all it could do.

Xi Xi’s expression changed slightly.

A terrifying shrine deity rank pressure descended!

The air seemed to freeze, and in the thousand-zhan high sky, the two engaged in a perilous confrontation in an extremely short time!

Roar—!

From his left arm, the Purple Flame Spear Flame Tip Spear roared to life, its immense divine nature tearing through the frozen shrine deity pressure!

Xi Xi clenched her fingers.

As Zhang Yunlong’s purple hair lashed through the air and appeared before her, she used the flying thunder chess piece to teleport away.

Behind Zhang Yunlong, the purple divine nature formed into wings, with each feather sharp like a divine sword. The sword light rang out, fiercely slicing through the spot where Xi Xi had been floating.

The purple sword qi hummed wildly, compressing the air and then sucking it back, creating a vacuum-like area in the high sky, dispersing countless spring raindrops into a howling wind!

"What a slippery eel..."

Zhang Yunlong's body trembled with purple tadpole script, his expression becoming somewhat fierce.

"Li Wanxi!"

"Show me your strongest move!"

"Otherwise..."

"You will only be left to be flayed by me!"

"Just like..."

"That foolish martial artist from the True Martial Divine Sect!"

Zhang Yunlong smiled, even his teeth covered in purple tadpole script!

Xi Xi panted heavily, purple fire snakes coiling around her body, her eyes extremely focused, the Hell Lotus divine symbol on her brow trembling.

It seemed the pressure from Zhang Yunlong was making her slightly uneasy.

Zhang Yunlong turned his head, his eyes engulfed in purple light, locking onto Xi Xi’s position. He spread his arms, and the purple divine nature wings on his back burst out wildly!

The dense purple feathers turned into thousands of sword lights!

Locking onto every single white flying thunder chess piece Xi Xi had scattered!

"I want to see..."

"Where you can hide!"

"Only using mechanical skills..."

"Little girl!"

"Without your mechanical skills, what are you?!"

"Oh... there seems to be a monster inside you!"

"The monster that defeated Zhang Yun Huang... let me see what you have inside!"

Zhang Yunlong laughed lightly.

In the next moment, his body transformed into purple sword light, tearing through the air, causing countless air currents to be silently cut.

Like a sky full of flying purple feathers, he appeared before Xi Xi.

...

...

In the main banquet area of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

Li Che suddenly stood up, his brows furrowed.

On the other side, Lu Tai Bai also stood up, his sword intent raging and intertwining.

However, neither of them moved.

Li Che had already clenched the flying thunder chess piece, ready to teleport.

Although the Purple Robe Daoist Temple’s Lian Gong Gong, who was overseeing the Dragonling Competition, was very powerful and might be able to save Xi Xi in time,

Li Che didn’t dare to take the risk.

Just as Li Che was about to teleport, he seemed to sense something, and his expression turned slightly strange, stopping his action.

...

...

Everything in the world seemed to disappear.

Xi Xi’s eyes widened as she stared at the enormous black flame lotus burning quietly before her.

The enormous lotus slowly bloomed, its petals unfolding.

The black flames, hot and distorted, spread slowly.

Then,

Xi Xi saw a slender figure of a girl standing quietly within the lotus petals.

The girl wore a black long dress, revealing a section of her white, jade-like calf.

Her black hair was long and straight, falling to her waist, her long eyelashes closed, her skin pale and glowing faintly.

Her beautiful face had a touch of sorrow.

Seeming to sense Xi Xi’s surprised gaze, the girl’s long, curved eyelashes trembled and slowly opened, her eyes as deep and dark as ebony.

Xi Xi’s gaze met the girl’s eyes.

Xi Xi exclaimed, "Wow, you're so beautiful!"

Xixi, who adored beauty, didn’t hold back her praise.

The girl smiled, the black lotus on her forehead seeming to come alive, trembling slightly.

"Girl, do you need..."

"To beat Him?"

First update, not old Li wanting to end the chapter, but stopping here was necessary. The rules for the Hero Festival and the Dragonling Competition are different, and old Li has lost a lot of hair thinking about them. Please support with votes and follows! Old Li thanks you!
