Chapter 516: Chapter 415: Brother-in-law is Mighty (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_1

"Brother-in-law?" Ao Gun also emerged from the water, looking at the sky, and then his eyes lit up: "This is a hero saving the beauty."

Ao Liliang was also dragging the lurking ghator that was biting him, breaking through the dragon’s head out of the water, with bewilderment in his eyes: "The key is, how did Chang Ze die? I just saw his head, it was real, not an illusion.

But this guy was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, with combat power no less than his second sister’s yesterday, how was he slaughtered?"

Ao Liliang was nonetheless incredulous that Chang Ze had died at the hands of their ’brother-in-law’.

Was their brother-in-law this terrifying? Clearly, he was pale and delicate, looking just like a little white face.

However, at this point, all the water demons in the entire Yichang water area who still maintained their sanity were crazily retreating upstream.

Bashe Changze’s reputation was prominent in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, commanding great prestige among the water demons.

This Demon Lord of Tongtian River, who commanded a total of more than four hundred thousand demon soldiers, had been pressing like a mountain at the source of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years and was a highly revered existence for all aquatic clans.

Therefore, the dropping of Chang Ze’s head also caused a tremendous shock to their spirits, and many aquatic creatures woke up from the control of Xiangyue’s poison and then fled frantically.

Their basic logic was that since Bashe Changze was slaughtered, then what did these small demons count for?

This greatly alleviated the pressure on the dragon clan’s navy, and the number of aquatic creatures still attacking their line reduced to less than ninety thousand, which was less than two-tenths of the previous number.

These were all completely poisoned by Xiangyue’s toxin, still full of ferocity, fighting fearlessly and recklessly.

However, the number of big demons in the Fourth Gate is dwindling, being annihilated under the orderly counterattack of the dragon clan’s hundreds of thousands of troops, and are continuously being decimated.

Therefore, these three dragons had spare time to watch the battle situation in the air from the water surface.

Just as Ao Liliang’s voice fell, Xiangyue had already fallen into a predicament surrounded by several heavenly-level powers. Jiang Yunqi, Li Chengji, Yu Hongchang, and Helian Fulong arrived together.

The four did not directly participate in the battle, but each stood three miles away, freezing Xiangyue’s huge demon body with an ice technique from a distance.

The situation on Yichang and the upper reaches of the Jinsha River is different, as due to the continuous heavy rain, the width of the river alone is forty-five miles.

Jiang Yunqi and the others couldn’t freeze it, they dared not. Once an ice dam forms here, it will cause a great impact on the downstream when it melts.

Therefore, the tactics they adopted were completely different from before, they no longer let the Cold Power spread, but converged it to only act on Xiangyue.

Although this did not directly damage Xiangyue’s body, it had already turned the tide of the battle.

Ao Shuying’s ’Godslaying Bajiquan’ doesn’t work well with the softest water, but it’s fatal to frozen water.

In just a moment, Xiangyue’s body had been blown into three large holes by her, and its two heads were shattered by Ao Shuying.

However, the troublesome thing about Xiangyue is that it is a nine-headed body, as long as any one of its nine heads is still there, it can recover endlessly, immortal.

"What a nuisance!" Li Xuan only watched for a moment and knew that he and Luo Yan must take action again.

He saw that although this ancient Demon King was at a disadvantage, if the two sides continue to stalemate like this, the losers will only be them, not Xiangyue.

The heavy rain in this area continues unabated, and Xiangyue’s power is therefore endless. Under such circumstances, it could fight for another ten days and nights without hindrance, and its combat power would only increase.

The key is that this ancient Demon King has no obvious weaknesses. Although its water control technique is not as good as Wu Zhiqi, each of its nine heads, apart from its poison, controls one power—thunder, fire, metal, earth, wood, water, wind, corrosion, cold.

Although these powers are not strong, even not yet at the heavenly level, they prevent Xiangyue from being completely restrained by a certain power.

At this moment, Xiangyue, using its control of fire and thunder, kept its body warm to avoid being completely frozen, which also led to Ao Shuying’s ’Godslaying Bajiquan’ causing huge damage but never being able to kill with one blow.

In contrast with Li Xuan and others, Ao Shuying had already shown some signs of fatigue, while Yu Hongchang, due to the counteraction of Yin and Yang, was not good at long battles, and Xue Yunrou was not a true heavenly level. They could only fight for another three to five hours at most, after which their combat power would greatly decrease.

"Yan?" Li Xuan immediately turned his gaze, looking at Luo Yan with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Luo Yan directly slipped a pair of the Hongxiu Knife from her sleeves, with a seemingly indifferent expression: "I’m fine, just need to recuperate for a few days after. As for Xiangyue, if we keep dragging on like this, it might be more than a few days’ matter."

"In any case, we need a quick fight." Li Xuan exhaled a foul breath, and then also took his ’Bixue Leique Sword’ and ’Black The Sun’ in his hands: "Yunrou, assist me."

Xue Yunrou didn’t say a word, she glanced at Luo Yan, then expressionlessly hand-made a Spirit Secret, causing the pair of ’Fumo Swords’ to fly up.

As soon as this pair of red longswords flew into the air, it turned into hundreds of chains of red and gold, each a thousand feet long, reaching out like dragon claws towards the body of Xiangyue’s nine-headed snake.

At this moment, Xiangyue’s nine-headed snake body suddenly stiffened, unable to move for a time.

Ao Shuying’s gaze flickered when she saw the scene, she immediately dashed forward, taking advantage of the situation. With her jade hand pounding, a huge hole was immediately blown out in the belly of Xiangyue’s giant snake body, and then its three heads were also blown to pieces by Ao Shuying.

But at this moment, a look of helplessness appeared in Ao Shuying’s eyes, and a trickle of blood spilled from her mouth.

This was her limit. The continuous strain on her body had nearly exhausted her, making Ao Shuying feel like a lamp running out of oil. In this short time, she had used all her strength to execute this four ’Godslaying Bajiquan’, but could not seize the opportunity created by Xue Yunrou.

But at this moment, Ao Shuying saw two beams of light, one purple and one red, intertwined. They dashed across the void and instantaneously severing several of Xiangyue’s heads.

"Li Xuan?"

Ao Shuying was surprised and extremely delighted. She noticed the purple light and guessed it must be the Fumo Duyu called Luo Yan, right?

She had seen him before and knew that he was Li Xuan’s most capable subordinate. She hadn’t expected that their combined power would be so formidable.

The speed of their sword-like light and their perfect harmony would be difficult for even a typical heavenly level to resist.

In the world of martial arts, speed is unbeatable!

But isn’t this Fumo Duyu supposed to be male? So why is he able to work so seamlessly with Li Xuan?

Ao Shuying felt conflicted. She was upset, yet she knew that many of her brothers had a taste for men. Her brother Ao Gun’s Dragon Palace housed several male consorts. Even her father once had such an inclination.

Ao Shuying thought: are all males like this? If so, then she shouldn’t be too surprised or blame others. She should take it as a normal thing.

In comparison to her father and brothers, Li Xuan was good enough!

Distracted by these thoughts, Ao Shuying suddenly heard a series of cheers from the water surface below.

"Long live brother-in-law!"

"Indeed, he is a true swordsman!"

Ao Shuying couldn’t help but blush. What nonsense were these people shouting?

Meanwhile, Xue Yunrou was slightly shaken, barely maintaining control over her ’Zhengyi Fumo Sword’. After coldly glancing at the many dragon heads on the river surface and at Ao Shuying, she focused her attention back on Xiangyue.

The figures of Li Xuan and Luo Yan had transformed into red and purple lights and had reached the last head of Xiangyue just as his other eight heads had hardly had any chance to recover.

But at this moment, Li Xuan suddenly felt a sense of danger, "Be careful!"

He withdrew his shining blade and distanced himself from Luo Yan by thirty feet. A moment later, a monk clad in a golden robe appeared above Xiangyue’s head, holding a death lamp in his hand, surrounded by a giant Buddha Dharma Phase, with nine lotus-shaped golden flames encircling him.

"Jiudeng?" Xue Yunrou’s gaze drifted towards him and she chuckled, "Interesting. First Huaibi, now you, Master Jiudeng. I wonder what you’re all up to?"

Yu Hongchang’s face turned pale as well.

Huaibi was the palace master of Jiugong Mountain’s Taiqing Palace and a real person appointed by the Court. Master Jiudeng was a monk appointed by the Court, a famous monk who established a Buddhist sanctuary atop Emei Mount, Jinding.

Both of them were respected monks and enlightened individuals, yet they were both involved in this disaster, even possibly the masterminds behind it.

Jiudeng’s face was gloomy and he remained silent. The Giant Buddha Dharma Phase behind him stretched out two giant palms to protect Xiangyue’s final head.

He himself transformed into a three-headed and six-armed golden figure, his six flaming hands moving like light and shadow, blocking the light from the blades of Li Xuan and Luo Yan on behalf of Xiangyue.

In the middle of the continuous ’clang’ sounds, the Dharma Phase behind Jiudeng was shattered by the relentless speed of Li Xuan’s and Luo Yan’s blades.

Meanwhile, Jiudeng’s body was hit by a punch from the recovered Ao Shuying, with more than half of his body being obliterated by the force.

However, Xiangyue had recovered four out of his remaining eight heads. He freed himself from Xue Yunrou’s control, roared angrily. A wave of water surged like monstrous dragons, enveloping Jiudeng’s broken body and plunged into the water.

Seeing this, Li Xuan frowned but didn’t pursue him. Instead, he stepped backward and supported Luo Yan’s delicate body. Luo Yan, her face flushed crimson, lost consciousness in Li Xuan’s arms after their light dissipated.

She had been poisoned by fire. Jiudeng’s nine golden flames, seemingly ineffective, were always emitting poisonous fire, baking their bodies and primordial spirits with extreme heat.

Li Xuan, holding Luo Yan in his arms, watched Xiangyue disappear into the distance and then landed on the city wall of Yichang City below.

At this moment, both the Governor of Yunyang and the Governor of Huguang were watching the battle from here. Li Xuan said to them without any courtesy, "Quickly summon all the scholars above the Fourth-Floor Territory in the vicinity. The sooner, the better."

Li Xuan knew that Xiangyue was not significantly injured and after two or three hours of recuperation, he would advance once more.

With Luo Yan unconscious, if he wanted to play a role in this battle, he could only rely on his identity as Hufa of Neo-Confucianism.

The Governor of Huguang, named Ming Yuzhen, narrowed his eyes, "Earl Jing’an, under my rule, there are eight hundred graduates and three thousand students with scholarly records all gathered in the city."
