Chapter 521: Chapter 418: Man Overcomes Heaven (Climax Begs for Monthly Ticket)_1

Xiangyue arrived later than Li Xuan had anticipated.

Approximately six hours after their prior battle, the water level of the Yichang River suddenly rose by a zhang and two chi. Xiangyue’s enormous figure also came into Li Xuan’s sight.

The body of this Nine-Headed Snake had swelled up to over four hundred zhang, and its nine heads were even more ferocious and fierce.

Upon seeing this, Li Xuan took a deep breath and without hesitation leaped into the air, standing on the surface of the river—One of the benefits of reaching the seventh house level was the ability to fly. Although the speed was slow, it was far from matching the speed of his Thunder Style, Superconductive Style, and even the Ice Style.

When Li Xuan stepped onto the torrential river surface, a block of ice formed under his feet. While it seemed like he was floating on the water’s surface, in reality, a massive icicle had formed, plunging straight into the depths of the water, connecting with the riverbed, like a rock.

Strangely, the moment Li Xuan stepped onto the river surface, the water level of the Yichang River dropped significantly, going down by a whole zhang and a chi.

—This was due to Li Xuan’s Hao Qi, counteracting the magical power Xiangyue had used to cause the tempest.

This successful attracted Xiangyue’s attention. The giant Nine-Headed Snake immediately turned its cold gaze towards Li Xuan. It quickly recognized him as one of the two figures who had almost killed him the day before, and a deep red killing intent emerged in Xiangyue’s pupils.

Similarly showing deep killing intent were Huaibi and Jiudeng, who had arrived with Xiangyue. They both revealed ferocious expressions upon seeing Li Xuan.

They had both grown extremely wary of Li Xuan and Luo Yan’s combined blade attacks, which countered their abilities with rapid precision.

If they had the chance to kill one of them, they would pay any price for it.

However, both of them also harbored some doubt in their hearts.

Master Huaibi frowned and looked around: "Are they planning to give up Yichang this time?"

Looking around, he found that Ao Shuying, Jiang Yunqi, Xue Yunrou, Yu Hongchang, Li Chengji, and Helian Fulong were all present. They were spread out in the sky above, forming a surrounding formation against the river.

The dragon clan’s army was assembled about thirty li downstream, and nearby was a part of the imperial navy that had rushed over during the night.

The navy under Li Chengji’s command in Southern Zhili was probably still clearing out the water demons in the Han River. The ones gathered here were the Five Battalions of the Navy that had rushed over from Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, as well as four naval troops from the Huguang Province, totaling approximately one thousand eight hundred ships and thirty-seven thousand personnel, which was a considerable force.

But were these people expecting Earl Jingan to prevent Xiangyue’s attack?

"Unlikely," Master Jiudeng said, raising his hand to his chest and looking thoughtfully at Li Xuan: "Let’s just watch and see for now. No matter what tricks they’re planning, we can overcome it directly using Xiangyue’s power to sweep through everything."

His expression turned cold as he continued: "If there’s a chance, we must eliminate this guy at full force."

Master Huaibi nodded slightly. Li Xuan being alone was the perfect opportunity to eliminate this major threat, and he would not pass on it.

During their discussion, Yu Hongchang’s hand was already clenching a cold sweat. She kept a watch on Li Xuan on the river surface, wanting to forcibly take the guy away right now, but forcefully suppressed the impulse.

However, her anxiety and restlessness were growing, various thoughts emerging in Yu Hongchang’s mind.

Yu Hongchang was worried about Xiangyue’s magical power, worried that Li Xuan’s arrangements would not work, worried that Li Xuan had thought of sacrificing himself—this made her feel extremely worried and troubled.

Not far away, Ao Shuying looked at Yu Hongchang with a slight surprise: "Why is Princess Changle so nervous? Li Xuan said before, if we can hold on, we will, and if we can’t, we retreat. If it’s really impossible, we can just leave.

That powerful ancient demon, besides his water technique, his other techniques are ordinary. With Li Xuan’s unique Superconductive Style, it should be easy for him to escape from Xiangyue."

She also tested earlier that using the Hao Qi of those scholars, Li Xuan’s strength was indeed at a heavenly level. If she had not seen it for herself, she would have never agreed to Li Xuan’s plan.

Yu Hongchang gave Ao Shuying a sideways glance, thinking to herself, how naive is this dragon queen?

Li Xuan saying if he can’t hold on then he’ll retreat is just talk.

Once that guy’s blood gets hot, he’ll only think ’Where there is a will, there is a way. Even if a million people stand in my way’, and ’Who in this life has not died? Leave only an undying heart to illuminate history’.

If it comes to a point where Li Xuan needs to sacrifice himself to prevent or kill Xiangyue, he would certainly not hesitate.

"Keep an eye on his magical instruments!" Xue Yunrou’s voice reached Yu Hongchang’s ear: "As soon as the Hao Qi turns purple and becomes vigorous, we should be ready to rescue them."

Yu Hongchang raised her head and made eye contact with Xue Yunrou who was across the river. For a moment, the two former best friends unexpectedly reached an agreement.

Li Xuan was unaware of the discussion among these girls. He was completely focused on the changes happening within his body.

The moment Li Xuan appeared, the aspiring scholars gathered in the town of Zhenjing Mountain near Yichang City started reciting "The Song of Integrity".

There were 1,200 successful candidates present at the moment and another 5,600 scholars who had passed the preliminary exam for government officials.

What was remarkable is that, more than thirty jinshi who had been idle at home also came one after another. Led by the officials of Huguang Province and Yunyang County, all of them, together with his Jade Qilin, contributed a magnificent Hao Qi straight into the sky, creating a golden pillar of Qi with a diameter of nearly ten li, penetrating the heavens and earth.
