Chapter 271: Chapter 26: Coming, Ready to Strike?

The Heavenly Fox Emperor reached out with her palm.

In an instant, time and space solidified, and even the parts that had disappeared reappeared on Liang Hui’s body.

The youth’s expression was composed as he gazed at the beautiful figure before him.

Now that he already knew about the road the Heavenly Fox Emperor had taken, how could he not have made preparations?

With a thought,

The part of the body that had surfaced instantly shattered and dispersed.

"You can’t keep me here," he said.

"Indeed," she replied.

The beautiful figure withdrew her reaching hand, pointing at the lotus platform in front of her, her voice languid.

"Let’s talk."

"Quickly, for this Spirit Body won’t last much longer."

The Heavenly Fox Emperor sat down directly on the ground, propping her cheek with one hand.

Liang Hui’s brow furrowed lightly as he stepped forward to sit down in front of the Heavenly Fox Emperor.

Even at such close proximity, he still could not see through the mist shrouding her body.

"Fellow Daoist, we have been spiritually acquainted for a long time," the woman murmured, her voice gentle and regal.

Her jade hand waved, and tea cups and a teapot appeared in front of them both.

The Heavenly Fox Emperor picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"From the beginning in Huaiyuan Town, through a journey of hardship and exile, where life and death hung in balance, my brother, friends, and acquaintances all passed away one by one."

"Only upon reaching Divine Soldiers Valley did I get a respite."

"You must be tired!"

She reached out with her palm, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it down in one gulp.

"My sister and I were like that too, fleeing everywhere in the world..."

"Do you want a truce?" Liang Hui extended his hand, rubbing the teacup, an unfathomable expression on his face.

That the opponent understood him so well did not surprise him.

As an enemy, he too, through dreams and ancient texts, understood the foe before him extremely well.

The Heavenly Fox Emperor shook her head and placed the teacup in her palm on the table.

"Between you and me, a victor must emerge, a life and death decision must be made; it’s not about right or wrong, but about standing ground!"

"I look forward to that day’s arrival."

Liang Hui withdrew his hand from the teacup.

He slowly stood up, looking down at the Heavenly Demon Emperor, his expression serious.

"In the same realm, can we exchange a punch?"

The Demon Emperor lowered her hand from her cheek, looked up, and stared at the youth whose body was partially dispersing.

"A Spirit Body of a mere incarnation is too boring."

"Only if you send your incarnation will I be somewhat interested."

"Is that so?"

The youth’s face showed a trace of helplessness, without a word of retort.

His body continued to dissipate until in an instant only a sphere of light remained in the original spot, with a silver-green Jade Pendant floating within.

Crack! Crack!

The Jade Pendant shattered, falling to the ground.

From beginning to end, the Heavenly Fox Emperor did not intervene; she merely sat and watched the place where the Spirit Body disappeared.

Elsewhere.

The Flood Dragon Realm.

Thirty thousand miles away from the Flood Dragon Palace.

A figure clad in azure iron clothes stood atop the sea, eyes closed in contemplation.

Suddenly, his tightly shut eyes snapped open, revealing a pair of eyes deeper than the starry sky, quietly watching ahead.

One minute!

Ten minutes!

Half an hour!

The youth withdrew his gaze, and his tense muscles relaxed.

"Just as expected, the so-called Buddha’s contingency was but a lure."

"It must have been a trap laid down long ago."

"However, this trip was not wholly in vain. At the very least, I’ve confirmed some information."

"After changing my appearance and karma, she can’t pinpoint my exact location."

Liang Hui muttered to himself, and with that, there seemed to be many more possibilities within his reach.

Smack! Smack!

The sound of footsteps treading on water snapped Liang Hui back to reality.

The jumbled thoughts in his mind were quickly and one by one severed.

Feeling the familiar aura, his lips curled into a grin, his eyes gleaming with divine radiance, dazzling and brilliant.

The owner of this aura was someone Liang Hui became aware of after entering the Flood Dragon domain.

Understanding the general identity of the pursuer from the Heavenly Fox Tribe cleared up some of his doubts.

And he was here specifically to lure this pursuer to him.

Hoo Yu looked at the sturdy figure not far away, sensing the unique aura of the Azure Flood Dragon clan, her brows tightly furrowed.

"Your Excellency, why..."

"Heh!"

Now that his arrival had been exposed, there was no need to conceal his fist technique any longer.

Liang Hui’s smile grew wider as he extended his arm forward, instantly alternating thousands, tens of thousands of times, each transformation the pinnacle of skill.

Beastly roars emanated from his arms, eventually merging into one, creating a single deep, authoritative howl.

Boom, it smashed towards what lay ahead.

The fist’s edge was unrivaled, the fist’s light resplendent, Fistful Intent filling every inch of heaven and earth.

An eight-hundred-mile river exploded in unison, then was extinguished by the fist’s radiance.

Such a scene was terrifyingly ghastly; all beings witnessing the fist’s light perished in an instant.

When the fist’s light dissipated, peace once again returned to the world.

In Liang Hui’s grasp was now a graceful woman, heaving at the chest—a sign she was not yet dead.

He waved his free hand, inscribing seals upon the woman’s body.

At the same time, several streams of light flew out from her body.

Liang Hui quickly focused his gaze on a wooden hairpin, sensing its special aura, his eyes flashed with a sliver of sharp light.

As a powerful member of the Heavenly Fox Tribe, she indeed possessed means bestowed by the Demon Emperor.

He put the wooden hairpin back into the woman’s body.

The youth’s breath, appearance, and karma changed once more, and the Fistful Intent within eight hundred miles nearly dissipated instantaneously.

His figure split in two, flying at great speed in completely different directions.

Three days later.

A figure stopped a thousand miles away from Dragon Palace, looking at the beautiful silhouette in hand.

With a sudden exertion of force, flesh turned to mud, bones shattered completely, the soul ground to nothingness.

Hoo Yu was dead beyond any doubt.

Gazing at the wooden hairpin floating amongst blood and bone, Liang Hui’s expression was indifferent, then he transformed into a streak of light and collided with the hairpin.

Bang!

The Spirit Body shattered, scattering into nothingness.

The concealing seal he had set on the hairpin was thoroughly broken.

Instantly, the sky within tens of thousands of miles darkened.

Billowing dark clouds enveloped the vast Vault of Heaven.

Boom! Boom boom!

The sound was like the surging sea, like thunderous lightning, colossal and resounding through the entire vault of heaven.

Above and below the great sea, inside and outside the Dragon Palace.

Every creature looked up to the sky, feeling shocked, legs trembling, some hairs standing on end, unable to comprehend what was happening, only feeling an instinctual dread.

Roar!

Suddenly, a dragon roar rose from the depths of the sea.

"Demon Emperor, have I, Old Flood Dragon, done wrong!"

An Azure Dragon rose from the sea, dominating a ten thousand mile expanse; at its roar, the dark clouds seemed to dissipate a bit.

...

Within the Demon Emperor Palace, the Heavenly Fox Emperor withdrew the hand that had been extended.

Eyes cast downward, seemingly witnessing the rising Azure Flood Dragon.

.....

There was no response; the dark clouds became even thicker at this moment.

One by one divine rays appeared, like an inverted Milky Way, vibrating the vast heavens and earth, startling the multitude of demons.

Then, they plummeted with a crash.

The endless divine light flooded heaven and earth; basking in the divine glow, the demons felt no harm, instead, experiencing a certain warmth.

However, when the demons of Dragon Palace saw the Flood Dragon struggling and screaming in the divine light, their expressions turned strange.

Ultimately, they bowed their heads, not daring to look too much.
