Chapter 377: The Divine Chessboard Map Cheat, Li Ban Sheng's Rapid Ascension to the Five Thousand-Ye
Chapter 377: The Divine Chessboard Map Cheat, Li Ban Sheng's Rapid Ascension to the Five Thousand-Year-Old Peach Orchard (Part 2)
Additionally, because he had shown mercy, he had also taken Liu Qing's Heaven and Earth Jade.
"Your life's payment."
Li Che pinched the Heaven and Earth Jade between two fingers, tearing open the space and tossing it inside.
He wasn't in a hurry to investigate what was inside.
This time, by entering the Peach Orchard through the Xi Wangmu Divinity on the peach branch, Li Che vaguely sensed that death here... was real.
"Unlike the pre-banquet, where the Xi Wangmu Divinity could preserve life at the cost of some injuries, here, killing is allowed, and death is a real possibility."
"Of course, if one encounters an unbeatable opponent, they can choose to withdraw from this Hero's Victory Assembly through the Xi Wangmu Divinity they are connected to."
"As for Liu Qing... Li Che showed some mercy, mainly wanting to keep Liu Qing alive for future plans. As long as Liu Qing stays alive, he can continue to take peaches from others."
"The more people who divide the peaches, the harder it will be to gather five of them."
"This Hero's Victory Assembly has quite a few opponents that Li Che needs to be cautious about."
"Relying solely on divine power, there are still many strong opponents who can pressure Li Che."
"For example, the Golden Furred Dog from Witch God Mountain, a Martial Sage Third Opening existence, with extremely powerful combat strength. As the Great Witch God's disciple from Witch God Mountain, he cannot be underestimated."
"Additionally, there's Zhang Xuan Lei from Purple Celestial Age Sect, Zhang Yuanlong's biological father."
"Naturally, Li Che and Zhang Xuan Lei cannot be on good terms, as Xi Xi killed his son. Zhang Xuan Lei has also stated that the children's grudges will be resolved by the two fathers themselves."
"Therefore, a battle between Li Che and Zhang Xuan Lei is inevitable."
"There's also Purple Celestial Age Sect's Second Hero, Zhang Xuan He, and Third Hero, Zhang Xuan Yu."
"Purple Celestial Age Sect's three Heroes are all formidable, coming from the Great Jing Dynasty's first Divine Sect, all aiming to compete for the top spot!"
"Based on previous Peach Victory Assemblies, the possibility of them reaching the top spot is extremely high."
"There's also the Western Pure Land's Buddhist Monks, from the Western Pure Land... which influences Lingyin Temple, and might even be the origin of Evil Buddhas."
"In previous assemblies, the Western Pure Land never sent monks, but this time is different. It's as if they had anticipated something."
"Regardless, Lingyin Temple, backed by the Western Pure Land, is extremely troublesome. Not to mention the Western Pure Land itself."
"There's also Zhou Chi Guo, a disciple of Ji Magic, and more..."
"The pressure is indeed not small..."
"If not for my martial arts, it would be quite troublesome."
Li Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The most important thing was...
This Hero's Victory Assembly's rules had a loophole, or perhaps it wasn't even a loophole, but rather...
There might be a situation where Heroes could team up against one person.
"Never mind..."
"Continue."
Li Che exhaled, his Niwan Palace slightly pulsing, his divine power flowing like a river.
And then, the entire person merged into the shadow of the peach tree.
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard hovered above the Peach Orchard.
He clearly locked down the situation of everyone.
Since it was the first round, Li Che did not seek out the Golden Furred Dog, Zhang Xuanlei, and the others. Instead, he directly targeted the weak, assuming an undetectable posture, and took their peaches.
Li Che did not harm their lives either, leaving them to continue their schemes.
...
...
"Who?!"
Rustling—
A peach tree, accompanied by the rustling sound, had its branches and leaves rubbing and colliding, and then it shifted like a ghostly apparition.
Subsequently, Li Che, clad in a black robe, with his dark hair wildly dancing, emerged from the darkness.
In an instant, the divine might of the five fingers gathered and intertwined, creating a terrifying rank pressure that seemed to crush down like mountains.
This caused a Third Hero from the Seven Treasures Sect to freeze, unable to even turn his head.
He could only watch helplessly as his peach was taken away by a slender hand.
This Hero was drenched in sweat, unable to do anything but watch as his peach was taken away like a crime.
When the sound of the peach tree's rustling movement echoed.
The Hero collapsed on the ground, panting heavily...
"Too strong. I've just opened the Martial Sage realm... But... My martial will and connection with the heavens tell me that behind me is a terrifying existence like an ancient true dragon!"
"Can't afford to provoke..."
This Hero was quite sensible.
He didn't indulge in sorrow, nor did he have time for it...
He knew that as time passed, the peaches would only become fewer, and he had to encounter a Hero of equal strength as soon as possible to snatch their peaches...
With luck, he might gather five peaches early and directly advance to the second round.
...
...
The second city of the Divine Capital.
The Heavenly River Curtain flowed with a rustling sound, reflecting a dazzling scene.
In the scene...
Only the Hero from the Seven Treasures Sect remained, drenched in sweat, enduring humiliation, and bravely getting up from the ground, wiping away the sweat, and continuing to fight.
"The Heavenly River Curtain... It's slowing down again..."
"So fast! From taking the peach to disappearing without a trace... It didn't even take a breath's time?"
"The Heavenly River Curtain specializes in capturing battle scenes, but... The opponent ended the battle too quickly?"
"Who is it? How can they be so fast?!"
...
The second and third cities of the Divine Capital were filled with exclamations.
Many people were itching to know who was manipulating the Heavenly River Curtain.
Most importantly, after doing such a thing, the Heavenly River Curtain still couldn't lock onto their figure?
The main banquet area.
The Empress's beautiful face also revealed a hint of surprise, her long eyelashes trembling, her eyes narrowing, showing interest.
The Emperor also curiously turned his head.
"Empress... Are you playing a game?"
The Emperor couldn't help but ask.
The Empress's red lips curved slightly, "Your Majesty... Do you think I'm playing?"
"The Heavenly River Hairpin has not sensed the Hero who obtained three peaches. Moreover, I always feel that this Hero's perception is extremely powerful, as if... they can accurately find other Heroes..."
"Your Majesty also knows that my refinement and control of the Heavenly River Hairpin have not yet reached three-tenths."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor paused.
"Then this Hero... is indeed impressive..."
"I wonder who it is?"
Who is this Hero playing with such a novel trick? For a moment, everyone became curious.
"Other Heroes are still studying the rules of the Peach Orchard... But this Hero has already gathered three peaches, and he intentionally spares the lives of those Heroes, using them to stir the waters."
"He's really something."
"Rest assured, at the rate he's gathering peaches, he should be the first Hero to gather five thousand-year-old peaches and advance to the second round. When the time comes... the Peach Orchard will tell us."
"He won't be able to hide for long."
The Empress smiled lightly, curious but unhurried.
...
...
The Heaven and Earth Chessboard hovered.
The crisscrossing lines resembled roads and nets, capturing everything.
The LV5-ranked Heaven and Earth Chessboard had much higher concealment than before. Even suspended high above, with its aura suppressed, no one could sense it.
However, everyone else was within his perception, unable to escape.
Li Che didn't mind using cheats; without them, what's the difference between a salted fish? Why endure hardship when you can live comfortably? Three peaches hovered around Li Che, and with a slight movement of his mind, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard became his eyes, scanning everything.
Unfortunately, the True Martial Divine Sect's direct disciple, Xi Kuang, was the prince of the Great Li Royal Court, so they didn't participate in this Hero Competition. Huang Jianjiu was dead, killed by Su Wuming...
This had disrupted the ranks of the Heroes participating in the competition.
Otherwise, Li Che could have helped the True Martial Divine Sect's Heroes obtain peaches quickly and advance to the second round.
Even if the True Martial Divine Sect's Heroes lacked competitiveness in the second round, they could still choose to leave with the peaches they had picked.
Although leaving would affect the situation...
Li Che didn't care; with the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, he was like an eagle-eyed observer, unaffected by the changing situation.
Touching the ground lightly, he merged into the tree's shadow, took a step forward, and walked amidst the howling wind and dark shadows.
A moment later, he appeared behind a Hero.
This Hero was merely a Three-Flowered Great Master, and posed no threat to Li Che.
In an instant, he completed the suppression and seized the Immortal Peach.
Taking the Immortal Peach, he retreated into the shadows.
Once the task was done, he brushed off his clothes, concealing his accomplishments.
...
...
Boom!
The frosty grass suddenly exploded, as if struck by an overwhelming force, sending it flying.
Zhang Xuan Lei's face was icy cold, his expression dark as if about to drip water.
Divine talismans exploded in front of him, but his eyebrows twitched, and a red dot like a red date quivered, his divinity spreading like a tide, causing the air to ripple like wrinkles.
Bang, bang, bang!
The divine talismans detonated, and the powerful fluctuations and surging spiritual energy intertwined, impacting the Immortal Peach tree. At that moment, divine restrictions appeared on the tree, blocking the aftermath of the clash.
Otherwise, with the aftermath of such a clash, the Immortal Peach tree might have been damaged and unable to continue growing Immortal Peaches.
Zhang Xuan Lei slowly raised his hand, and countless thunderbolts intertwined on his shoulder, condensing into a thundering, writhing divine arrow.
"The Xuanfu Divine Sect... seems to have a close relationship with the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect."
When Lu Tai Bai flipped the table, the Sect Head of the Xuanfu Divine Sect, Xuan Jiuzuan, sided with Lu Tai Bai.
So at this moment, intense killing intent burst from Zhang Xuan Lei's eyes.
His son was dead, and the overwhelming killing intent suppressed within Zhang Xuan Lei's heart could not be vented.
And this Hero Festival was the time for him to unleash his killing intent.
In fact, unless he encountered a Hero from the Purple Mansion Divine Sect, Zhang Xuan Lei intended to kill anyone he met!
And the Xuanfu Divine Sect... had a good relationship with the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, whose Li Che and Li Huanxi...
Just thinking of these two, Zhang Xuan Lei's anger surged like a raging river, and his killing intent was difficult to suppress.
So, he redirected his killing intent towards this cultivator from the Xuanfu Divine Sect.
Puchi!
The thunderbolt arrow pierced through, and Yang Ziyun, the third Hero of the Xuanfu Divine Sect, turned pale, his defensive divine talismans in front of him being continuously pierced.
He couldn't defend against it; the gap in strength was too great!
Although he had the cultivation of the Divine Embryo's first transformation, facing Zhang Xuan Lei's overwhelming killing intent at this moment, he was not on the same level.
"I'll give you the Immortal Peach, just give me another chance!"
Yang Ziyun coughed up mouthfuls of blood and hurriedly took out the Immortal Peach he had just picked.
Zhang Xuan Lei appeared beside Yang Ziyun as if he had teleported.
His eyes were filled with intertwining electric lights.
He spread his five fingers and plucked the Immortal Peach.
Yang Ziyun heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, a look of anger suddenly appeared in Yang Ziyun's eyes!
"You—!!!"
Yang Ziyun's heart skipped a beat.
He hurriedly tried to chant in his mind, intending to sever the divinity of the Temple of Xi Wangmu...
However, a powerful thought force poured into his mind, and the terrifying rank aura caused Yang Ziyun's Divine Embryo to almost scream in agony!
Behind Zhang Xuan Lei, a divine shrine slowly rose.
It stared coldly at Yang Ziyun.
"A chance?"
"You only have death."
Bang!
Zhang Xuan Lei clenched his five fingers, and Yang Ziyun of the Xuanfu Divine Sect's head exploded.
A Divine Embryo soared into the sky, but it was caught by a green arm covered in intertwining thunderbolts that suddenly shot out from the divine shrine, accompanied by endless fear. Yang Ziyun's Divine Embryo was pulled into the divine shrine.
Zhang Xuan Lei's black Daoist robe fluttered in the wind, his fingers grasping an Immortal Peach, his face filled with ferocity and killing intent.
"Li Che!"
"I will take your Divine Embryo and feed it to my temple deity!"
Crunch, crunch...
The sound of bone-chilling chewing slowly echoed from the divine shrine.
The Immortal Peach trees seemed to be stained with a bloody glow.
And Yang Ziyun's dead body fell on the frosty grass, the grass seeming to come alive, wrapping around Yang Ziyun's corpse...
But only for a few breaths.
The corpse completely dissolved.
Two Immortal Peaches hovered above Zhang Xuan Lei's shoulder, and he glanced at the situation, narrowing his eyes.
"These frosty grasses..."
"Devouring corpses and flesh?!"
This Immortal Peach orchard seemed more mysterious than he had imagined.
However, Zhang Xuan Lei didn't care about these things; he only had raging killing intent and the unbearable pain of losing his son!
"Li Che..."
"I will find you."
He abruptly spread his arms, his wide-sleeved Daoist robe fluttering, holding the two Immortal Peaches, as his body shot out at high speed.
However...
His body had only shot out a short distance.
Accompanied by several Immortal Peach trees with extremely heavy spiritual energy, Zhang Xuan Lei's body abruptly froze in place.
He slowly raised his head.
Electric currents intertwined in his eyes.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew through the Immortal Peach orchard.
It was as if an ancient bell had been struck, and almost at the same time, the sound reverberated throughout the entire Immortal Peach orchard.
It echoed in the ears of every Hero still blindly crashing around in the Immortal Peach maze.
"Li Che, the First Hero of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect, successfully gathered five one-thousand-year Immortal Peaches and advanced to the second round of the Hero Festival!"
"Successfully ascended to the five-thousand-year Immortal Peach orchard."
