Chapter 515: Chapter 414: Brother-in-law Arrives_1

Outside the city of Yichang, a fierce battle ensued, with the sounds of war drums filling the skies.

Over the river, Ao Shuying was engaged in a death struggle with Xiangyue, whose body had swelled to a monstrous size of 350 zhang.

Not only did Xiangyue control the wind and rain, he also transformed all the surrounding water into his weapon. His nine heads attacked in a coordinated manner, constantly spitting venomous liquid—wherever his venom traveled, everything was corroded. Even if Ao Shuying carelessly came into contact with a drop, her protective Gang Qi would be corroded and a significant amount of flesh would turn into pus.

Hence, Ao Shuying had no choice but to transform into her human form, for her dragon body was utterly useless in this brutal fight.

No matter whether it was strength, defense, or Divine Skills, her dragon body was completely suppressed.

Ao Shuying’s most proficient ’Godslaying Bajiquan’ was focused on using ’vibrations’ to obliterate all material things and opponents.

But in front of Xiangyue, whose strength is nearly at the Great Heavenly Position, her ’Godslaying Bajiquan’ no longer made much difference,

Nothing in the world is softer than water and cannot be overcome by the hard and strong—

As the ancient water deity Gonggong’s servant, Xiangyue’s control over water magic was enough to rival Wu Zhiqi’s.

For every punch that Ao Shuying threw, Xiangyue was able to dissolve it with the softest water.

Although it can’t be described as a checkmate, water magic is indeed one of the best means to confront ’Godslaying Bajiquan’.

Especially when Xiangyue’s power completely reaches the domain of the middle heaven level, Ao Shuying’s unparalleled strength of vibration could only affect up to ten percent of Xiangyue’s body.

As for the other wind and rain controlling techniques, this ancient big demon far surpassed Ao Shuying.

At this moment, Ao Shuying could only rely on the force of ten thousand armies from the Yangtze River Dragon Clan, her unyielding will, and the continuous stimulation of her Yuan Qi to fight Xiangyue with ’Godslaying Bajiquan’.

However, to unleash this punch that could obliterate everything, she had to consume a vast amount of Mana and a great deal of vital energy. Reverse shock also inflicted damage on Ao Shuying. Yet, as the Immortal Master Shuide, she relentlessly pummeled one pressuring punch after another, continuously shocking the void! She didn’t care even if she was exhausted, pressing her Yuan power without cease.

Meanwhile, the seventy-four Dragon Kings and three hundred forty thousand navy soldiers gathered behind her were also engaged in grueling combat.

They arrayed themselves in the water to fight against numerous monster species rushing down from upstream.

—Usually, these water demons were poorly organized, and they could easily disperse and suppress them. However, the issue was that Xiangyue’s venom was continually being sprayed into the water.

Although the venom was diluted by the river, it was still extraordinarily toxic. Hence, the many Dragon Kings had to use thirty percent of their strength to suppress the toxin.

The soldiers under their command were faring worse. They could only rely on taking detoxifying medicine to hold on. As time passed, nearly all the medicines reserved by the dragon clan over the years were used up.

Just this dawn, they had no choice but to retreat the soldiers under the fourth house level out of the battlefield.

—Even if they stayed, they wouldn’t be of any use. Their state of being half-dead and extremely weak made it impossible for them to participate in the battle.

Ao Gun, the Dragon King of Yangzhou, was engaged in an intense fight with a three-headed evil flood dragon.

He was, for the first time, filled with regret. Why did he go ahead and create so many monsters? Why couldn’t he spend more time on cultivation?

Because the three-headed evil flood dragon he was fighting against was their own creation.

The bloodline of the Jiao Dragon mixed with the essence blood of Xiangyue and eventually mutated into the hideous being he was confronting. It had the complete Divine Skills of the Jiao Dragon and Xiangyue’s immortality—unless all three of its dragon heads were severed in an instant, there was simply no way to kill it.

Ao Gun had once broken two of its heads, but unfortunately, he failed to kill the three-headed evil flood dragon.

Instead, he paid a huge price for it. His chest was pierced by the enemy’s venomous teeth, and the venom continuously paralyzed and corroded his body.

Due to the toxin, Ao Gun’s consciousness began to feel a bit foggy. At this moment, he diverted a bit of his attention to glance upstream of the Yangtze River. Then he felt a chill crawl up his scalp. As he looked up, he saw countless water demons crowding the upper stream.

The red glows flickering in the eyes of the monster species from the Fourth Gate were more than a hundred by his count. They were eyeing the battle from afar, revealing their readiness to stir up trouble.

That was because the venom clothed by Xiangyue in the water was stirring up their ferocity.

Most of the aquatic creatures took advantage of the situation to cultivate. They intended to take some advantage in the flood.

They were not interested in participating in this war, nor did they dare to act rashly out of fear of the East Sea Dragon Clan’s prestige.

However, the venom of Xiangyue was corroding their minds, twisting their thoughts, and amplifying their ferocity and malice to the extreme.

This ancient big demon’s poison can change at will. It could make their dragon clan’s flesh corrode and lose strength when applied to them. And it could control the spirits and will of these aquatic creatures when applied to them.

Over the past two days, Ao Gun had seen countless aquatic creatures being driven by Xiangyue’s poison and joining the battlefield.

"Ao Gun!" At this sound, Ao Zhihui’s head peeked over. Next to him, a giant electric eel without any sign of life was sinking towards the deep water. In the meantime, Ao Zhihui had paid the price of a shattered lower jaw and a broken tail.

He gasped for air, spitting out blood: "The antidote we mentioned earlier is almost used up. You need to persuade your sister. We can’t hold out here any longer. We’d better retreat to Yueyang."

"There’s an array set up around the ancient corpse of the ’Bashe’ snake in Yueyang City. Only there can we resist the toxicity of Xiangyue."

"Junshan" on that side is also a stronghold built by the Zhengyi Sect, with arrays densely distributed inside and outside of Junshan, and a thousand Taoist soldiers, enough to balance the power of Xiangyue.

Ao Gun thought, why don’t you say it yourself? Why always make me disturb my second sister?

Subconsciously, he looked back in the direction of Zhijiang City.

"We can’t breach the dike!" Ao Zhihui trembled in his dragon body, fretfully stating: "There are more than half a million people living in Zhijiang City. They just started the evacuation the day before yesterday. Opening the dike now, how much calamity would that cause? Even if we have to do it, we should not be the ones to start."

Ao Gun understood what Ao Zhihui meant. Even if they stood by and watched the flood sweep the riverbanks now, they could not actively breach the dike and invite calamity.

That’s the trouble with their divine status. Although they have strengthened their mana and extended their lifespan by borrowing the faith of all living beings, they have to comply with the "heavenly rules".

And the current "heavenly rules" of this world are recorded in the ’Book of Jinque’ of Jinque Palace. Three hundred years ago, Ao Shuying was suppressed and sealed because of this.

Otherwise, given the temperament of Emperor Tai of Jin, where would he care about invoking calamity?

If it weren’t for the terrifying ’Qianqiu Brush’ and ’Book of Jinque’ of Jinque Palace, which were divine treasures that dominate all immortal artifacts, with the courage of Emperor Tai of Jin, he might lead an army of a million and destroy Jinque Palace and its so-called heavenly rules in one fell swoop.

Ao Gun felt a chill in his scalp, and he split his divine consciousness to consult Ao Shuying.

But Ao Shuying’s response was as simple as it could be — withdraw all the soldiers and generals from the aquatic clan below the fifth house level, and the rest will hold on for another day.

Ao Gun felt bitter in his heart. He thought that the current 340,000 naval forces were already struggling to hold on. If all the ones below the fifth house level were withdrawn, at most only 70,000 soldiers could be left. What kind of battle is this to continue?

The key is that this will also affect Ao Shuying. The Immortal Master Shuide, yesterday, was almost as powerful as those at the Great Heavenly Position. But when they withdraw those beneath the fourth house level among the aquatic clan, Ao Shuying’s strength will drop significantly, putting her at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Xiangyue.

Now, if more people leave, whether Ao Shuying can hold on is a question.

"Are we still fighting? Dragons are going to die—" One of the dragons next to him couldn’t help but complain. It was the Dragon King of Gan River, ’Ao Liliang.’ The lower half of its dragon body was being fiercely bitten by a uni-horned caiman. But this Dragon King of Gan River didn’t care much about his opponent, he was looking helplessly at this side: "I’ve heard that Chang Ze killed some of the dragons upstream of the Jinsha River.

We can’t let Lord go around like this. We can’t drain the vitality of our Yangtze River dragon clan, right? Ao Gun, you still have to persuade her, it’s best to quit while you’re ahead. After battling to this extent, we’ve done all we can, it’s enough to account for the court of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Ao Gun thought, if I could persuade her, would you still need to say it?

He looked around, his eyes began to show a hint of helplessness, despair, and sadness. Then he shook his dragon body fiercely: "Less nonsense! Listen to my sister, let the soldiers retreat in batches."

Ao Liliang’s breath faltered: "We might lose a lot of dragons this way."

"Death comes to all!" Determination showed in Ao Gun’s eyes: "None of us have the bodies of true dragons, and ordinarily live only five hundred years. The fact that we are still alive, enjoying longevity and carefree peace, is all thanks to the offerings from the mortal realm.

’Taking the money of others to quell their disasters’, what else is there to discuss at this point? Having a decisive battle now still leaves a hint of survival."

After hearing this, Ao Zhihui sighed softly, and with a flick of his dragon body, he charged towards an enormous ’Dragon-headed Kun’ that was descending downstream.

The two collided mightily underwater, causing the surrounding waters to flow violently. Ao Zhihui felt like his whole body was about to shatter, and he heard a clear ’crack’ sound resonate from his bones.

Whales and kuns are extremely powerful species. This ’Dragon-headed Kun,’ with mixed dragon and kun blood, possesses both their strengths and Ao Zhihui’s dragon body simply cannot resist it.

As Ao Zhihui was preparing to muster his remaining strength for a bite, he found a gigantic object suddenly plunging into the water from above, stirring up towering waves.

At first, no one paid any attention to it. Numerous dragons and Big Demons were mixed in battle, and the commotion in any place was earth-shattering.

But then, the underwater battle gradually subsided, and nearly all the aquatic creatures looked at what had plunged into the water.

It was a monstrous snake head, about thirty meters long, with wounds all over its surface. Its eyes were wide open in anger, but the pupils were already dull and lifeless.

"That’s Chang Ze! Demon King of Tongtian, Bashe Changze!"

"Chang Ze is dead? Who killed him?"

"I heard from earlier news that Chang Ze wiped out the Tongtian Dragon King and led a large army downriver to the east. Who could have killed him?"

Ao Zhihui immediately quivered his body and shot out of the water. He looked at the source of the snakehead and saw Li Xuan standing in the air with his sword, overlooking the ground from a thousand meters high. At this moment, he was majestic, pressure pushing down the river.

"Brother-in-law?"

Ao Zhihui was stunned for a while, looking incredulous.
