Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 507 - 406

Chapter 507: 406

In the dead of night by the Han River, the wind and rain were dark and everything was silent. On the Xiangfan segment of the river, rows of people in ragged clothes, with terrified expressions, were being pushed up onto the banks in the heavy rain, only to be beheaded under the cold glinting blades.

As their heads fell, a large amount of blood splattered out, not only staining the river a crimson red, but also causing a large amount of foam to float on the surface of the river.

The bodies of these people were thrown into the water like garbage, triggering frenzied bites from the many aquatic demons in the water.

In the rain curtain beside the river bank, there were still more than five thousand people, their hands tied, kneeling on the muddy ground waiting to be slaughtered. Surrounding them were more than three hundred black-armored, sturdy, big men.

In addition, there was a black-robed Taoist standing alone on a giant rock by the shore, looking coldly at the river.

"Master!" At that point, an extremely burly figure with a ghost-face mask appeared behind the giant rock. "We have received news from the The Court. The Jingtai Emperor dispatched Yu Hongchang, Helian Fulong, and Xue Yunrou to head south. The one who came to the rescue of Li Chengji should be Xue Yunrou, the young Heavenly Master from Longhu Mountain.

In addition, our people stationed in the Jiangnan medical hall have not seen Jiang Yunqi for nearly an hour, guessing that he might also have set out south, and we have temporarily been unable to ascertain his whereabouts."

"Four heavenly level beings..."

The black-robed Taoist let out a cold laugh and looked at the river. "Did you hear that, Master Wu?"

At his words, the blood and water in the Han River rose, swirling like snakes and forming a gigantic water ape that was over thirty feet tall.

Half of its body was below the water surface, and half was above.

"I don’t care how many they send!"

After Wu Zhiqi showed up, he scooped up a handful of river water. "Tonight, the water level has risen by twelve feet. Coupled with the blood food you’ve given me, even if there were two Earl Chengyis, I could easily slay them. I just want to ask you, when do we attack? I’m getting impatient."

"Attack?"

The black-robed taoist laughed. "We are not going over, just waiting here for them to come and meet their death!"

He pointed to the ground beneath his feet. In an instant, countless blood-colored runes glowed red, radiating outward from the giant stone under his feet to twenty miles away, illuminating the entire dark night into a world of crimson red.

Wu Zhiqi was taken aback for a moment, then looked intrigued. "What array is this? It seems to be a combination of Shendu Shura Famen and Upper Qingdao? But are you sure it will work? Although the current Earl Chengyi is not as talented and powerful as his ancestors, he is not stupid and won’t foolishly charge into us."

"They have to come!" The black-robed Taoist’s lips lifted slightly in a hint of ridicule. "Otherwise, this rain will continue and the water level will keep rising, your power will become stronger. Master Wu, you could not imagine how much preparation we have done for today.

If they don’t come now, this rain can continue until mid-March. In at most ten days, Master, you will be able to use the great momentum of the torrent to grind everything downstream into dust!"

"This rain can last until mid-March?" Wu Zhiqi’s eyes twinkled with joy. "I’m more curious about what your purpose actually is in doing this. This flood seems to only benefit these water clans."

The wind and rain on both sides of the Yangtze River were intertwined and the water was everywhere. This was extremely beneficial to the cultivation of the water clans.

Even those vegetarian water demons, at this time, can improve their cultivation by borrowing the power of the heavens and the earth; those who eat meat are even more needless to say, as well as those river-born demons, water ghosts and the like, just need to harm a few people on the river’s momentum, they can easily advance their mana and elevate their cultivation state by two or three house levels.

Wu Zhiqi dropped his massive head low, staring intently at the black-robed Taoist. "Is it for the little Devaraja and your master, Monk Peng? I see your character, not like someone who would stop at nothing for the sake of resentment.

Or is it to echo those races in the north? Your master fought against the Yuan Dynasty all his life, and in the end, he died at Yuan’s people’s hand. If he knew what you were doing, he would definitely cry."

"The purpose of my action is not convenient to disclose for the time being."

The black-robed Taoist stood with his hands behind his back, his face cold. "But if Master Wu can help me kill Earl Chengyi, his son and Young Master Yunrou from the Heavenly Master, I will be very grateful."

"I will help you!" Wu Zhiqi chuckled slightly, not probing any further.

Then its body began to swell, and in an instant, it grew to over seven hundred feet. Its momentum was overwhelmingly powerful and ferocious. "If they dare to come, today will be their day of death."

"Law of Heaven and Earth!"

A hint of expectation appeared in the eyes of the black-robed taoist.

But at this moment, another black-armored man approached from behind the giant rock. "Master! The Southern Zhili Navy has docked 420 miles downstream. They are pushing all their ships onto the higher ground by the riverbank. Also, Earl Chengyi Li Chengji and Li Yan and his wife are all unaccounted for."

The black-robed taoist looked shocked and perplexed as he looked downstream.

※※ ※※

At this point, Li Chengji, Li Yan and his wife, and Leng Yurou, were all on Xue Yunrou’s flying shuttle.

Li Chengji casually scanned the many girls in the shuttle, thinking about how many daughters-in-law there were. He had never realized before that his second son had such methods.

But at the same time, Li Chengji felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he needed to have a talk with Li Xuan at some point.

But don’t let the ship capsize at that time and cause trouble for the entire Earl Chengyi’s mansion. Any girl here can cause an exterminating catastrophe for their family because of love born from hate.

Li Yan, however, was unaware of the strange atmosphere in the shuttle. He was excited, "That’s how it should be fought! In a war, how can you follow the enemy’s footsteps? In fact, my father and I have thought about bypassing this section of the river and going straight to root cause, but we were concerned about our insufficient strength.

Going upstream, we at least have the support of the force of ten thousand armies. But once we get to that guy’s lair, only my father can barely hold out."

Helian Fulong stroked his long beard: "Qianzhi’s tactics are indeed a good strategy, but this battle must not be taken lightly, it is after all Wu Zhiqi’s sealed land and the place where his power is the strongest."

"That’s not necessarily true." Li Yan sneered, "Although it’s raining heavily near Tongbai Mountain, it’s a mountain range after all, the humidity is far less than that on the Han River. Wu Zhiqi’s power in this area is not stronger than the downstream area.

Previously, I was just worried about the people who would release Wu Zhiqi. Before his law body was released, the personnel of the Liudao Division and the Qintian Bureau stationed at Tongbai Mountain were almost completely wiped out. This force is unpredictable. But now, what is there to fear?"

Before tonight, Li Yan had never imagined that Li Xuan would gather such a powerful force to move southward.

Li Chengji looked thoughtfully at Li Xuan, "Xuan, beside resolving the flood problem, do you have any other intentions in this battle? Does it have anything to do with the Crown Prince’s serious illness?"

Li Chengji thought that even for Tongbai Mountain, there was no need for this lineup.

Li Xuan thought that this really is his own father, who sees things clearer than his brothers.

"The child does have the intention to show off!"

He nodded slightly, showing a hint of mockery on his face, "The Crown Prince has been seriously ill for a few days, and many people have started losing their minds, having prevaricated ideas, and even doing foolish things.

This time, the child just wants to let certain people understand that the great Jin Dynasty is still run by the Emperor. No matter what ideas they have, they should get rid of them!"

Actually, he wanted even more people to know that their Earl Chengyi’s mansion’s foothold in this world, was not based on any imperial succession. But these words were not appropriate to say in front of Helian Fulong and Yu Hongchang.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the shuttle fell into deep thought, their expressions became more solemn.

Helian Fulong’s face even showed a different luster, and there was a few points of relief in his eyes.

Yu Hongchang’s pretty face also flushed slightly. She was feeling unusually good at the moment and didn’t seem to care so much about the many girls around her anymore.

While several people were talking, the speed of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Pimo Divine Shuttle had already slowed down.

Xue Yunrou had stopped guiding the shuttle with her mana, and then looked at everyone with an inquiry in her eyes: "We have arrived, below is Tongbai Mountain, the seal of Wu Zhiqi."

"Let’s start then!" Li Chengji showed his decisive and brisk side. He was the first to fly out of the shuttle and landed on a nearby mountain top.

Following immediately behind him were Helian Fulong, Yu Hongchang and Jiang Yunqi, who each landed on a mountain top and formed a formation that represented the Four Symbols.

The next moment, infinite coldness begins to pervade these forests.

With just one breath, the land within a hundred miles under the impact of the chill from the four great heavenly positions turned into an icy kingdom. All the streams, springs, and even the moisture in the air were transformed into ice.

A roar came out from inside the mountain, a Water Ape began to transform using a stream on the southern side of the mountain.

But it was only half transformed when it was frozen by the endless chill.

At this time, Li Yan and his wife, Yue Qianqian and Jade Qilin, Jiang Hanyun and Leng Yurou were divided into three groups, each heading off into the distance.

Only Xue Yunrou, Li Xuan, and Luo Yan remained in place.

Not long after, dozens of figures flew from a distance. The first of them was wearing Liudao Fumo Armor, his whole body full of scars.

That was Pang Ling, the Fumo Zhonglangjiang in charge of the Zhenmo Division at Tongbai Mountain. When he came, he first cast a glance at the four great heavenly positions sitting on the mountaintops, then saluted Li Xuan, "Xiaowei Li, Young Heavenly Master!"

Li Xuan didn’t plan to waste words, and directly cut to the chase, "Can you repair the seal within six hours?"

Pang Ling’s pupils slightly dilated, and then he nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"

This time Wu Zhiqi escaped, both the Liudao Division and the Qintian Bureau suffered heavy losses, but those who were lucky enough to survive were all elite people with profound cultivation.

Now that the power of Wu Zhiqi’s main body has been completely suppressed by the four high-cold heavenly positions, if they still cannot repair the sealing array, then they would be incompetent.

"The problem is the law body of Wu Zhiqi scattered outside and a black-robed Taoist suspected of being at a heavenly level. They will definitely not stand by and watch. Master Xiaowei, you may not be able to hold on——"

At this moment, Pang Ling’s expression changed slightly, looking southwards, "Here they come!"

Li Xuan also followed his gaze and looked over, then flicked his wide sleeve, "Zhonglangjjang Pang, just do your work. These two will be dealt with by me and the Young Heavenly Master."

For the upcoming dual-blade cooperation with Luo Yan, Li Xuan was very much looking forward to.
