Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 1653: Exchange



The Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell!

The cold light and the icy flames arrived before Li Qingshan, only to be blocked by a light-blue screen assembled from hexagons.

However, under the weight of the hill-sized jade seal, his head did sink a little lower, almost as if he was giving into the burden. The marble under his body cracked and a fracture even ran across the Myriad rankings behind him.

It was not due to how impressive Dai Mengfan’s attack was, but because he had devoted all of his strength to contend against the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance. Any additional pressure just made things worse.

However, Li Qingshan’s lips curled into a smile. He understood the cowardly nature of these direct disciples all too well. If they all struck together, perhaps they really could assist the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance in heavily injuring him. Pi Yangqiu had fled at the perfect time.

“You old turtle, I wanna see whether you’ll do something about that or not!”

At this moment, all of the direct disciples shifted their focus to Pi Yangqiu. Watching him fly off into the distance, they were not exactly incapable of intercepting him, but none of them did anything.

If Pi Yangqiu had fled, then there would definitely be a second and a third… The remaining people would become Li Qingshan’s target, and they would suffer much greater losses. The last one to flee would basically be guaranteed death too.

No one wanted to be the last one, so the optimal choice would be the second to flee. However, if everyone thought like that, then the final outcome would be defeat.

Pi Yangqiu moved with lightning speed and was about to fly out of Myriad city when the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance suddenly shifted his tranquil gaze, looking away from Li Qingshan for the first time. He turned towards Pi Yangqiu.

Pi Yangqiu had set up layers upon layers of defences around him earlier when they all attacked Li Qingshan.

Twenty-four bamboo slips revolved around him, forming three separate layers yet also resonating together, assembling into a formation that shone with layers of light. It was like a fortress. That was his lifebound arcane treasure, the Bamboo Slips of Earth Perceiving.

Not only could the Bamboo Slips of Earth Perceiving be used to study and breach formations, but it could also replicate most formations in the world. Currently, it replicated a Formation of the Metal City and Ten Palaces. It only possessed a third of its true might, and it only lasted for a limited period of time, but the path of formations had always stressed defence, and the Formation of the Metal City and Ten Palaces was among the best of the best. It had never been breached before whenever Pi Yangqiu faced any opponents in the past.

However, the moment the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance’s gaze landed on him, the light shattered, producing a series of cracks. The twenty-four bamboo slips all snapped, and the Formation of the Metal City and Ten Palaces immediately crumbled. His fleeing figure also froze up mid-air.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The broken bamboo slips seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, piercing into Pi Yangqiu’s body, vanishing deep into his skin. 24062

Pi Yangqiu was in agony. He looked back in surprise and met the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance’s tranquil eyes. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but before he could, his face collapsed inwards. However, not a single droplet of blood was spilt.

His flesh, his bones, his hair, his clothes… Everything that belonged to him was compressed into a single point.

His bones snapped as his limbs folded. In the blink of an eye, his body had turned into a ball of flesh that continued to shrink until it became the size of a fist.

The Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance shifted his gaze again, and the invisible force suddenly vanished. The fist-sized ball of flesh began to swell. Before it could completely erupt, it was swallowed by a ball of light.

Boom!

With an earth-shaking rumble, another sun seemed to rise up in the sky, except it was thousands of times larger than the sun over the ocean, emitting dazzling light that could blind regular people. That was Pi Yangqiu’s exploding Yang Soul. Just like his body that had been reduced to a fist-sized ball, its internal structure had completely collapsed and been destroyed, turning into pure energy that was being released now.

Several millennia of cultivation, all annihilated at this instant.

The direct disciples paled in the light. All of them were dumbfounded, completely giving up on the thought of fleeing.

Li Qingshan and the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance had each struck out once, and two Yang Soul cultivators had died miserably. Before absolute power, there were no life-preserving measures.

By now, they had all understood their roles. Perhaps they were normally lofty direct disciples, Yang Soul cultivators, but right now, they were merely soldiers leading the charge. They could only advance, never to retreat!

The Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance wanted them to throw their lives at Li Qingshan, so they could only rush over and embrace death, only hoping to earn a chance of survival within the dire straits.

The crisis of the world had already descended. It had descended right over their heads!

At the same time, a great rumble rang out from the ground.

As the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance suppressed Pi Yangqiu, Dai Mengfan shivered inside and suddenly leapt backwards, but she was not trying to use this opportunity to flee. Instead, she gritted her teeth and extended her finger like a sword, pointing towards Li Qingshan’s head. “Decreed!”

The jade seal grew in size and became transparent, circulating with profound glyphs. It had already become even heavier than metal, crushing down forcefully like it wanted to smash apart Li Qingshan’s head.

She knew that Li Qingshan’s counterattack was coming. All of them could die in the next moment.

Boom! The jade seal shattered into pieces, falling like a rockslide.

An arm covered in thick, black fur extended over, suddenly expanding in size and reaching towards Leng Yuan.

The Ape Demon Extends its Arm!

Li Qingshan followed a strict order for revenge. He killed those in charge first before killing those who assisted them.

Leng Yuan wanted to retreat, but he was immobilised. He was like an insect trapped in amber, only able to watch as death approached. At a time like this, even he was unable to remain calm anymore. A smear of shock appeared in his eyes.

Li Qingshan had simply reached out, yet the movement contained the numerous abilities of the ape demon. The Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance was currently busy with something else, so how could Leng Yuan escape?

Suddenly, the huge wolf dove forwards from under Leng Yuan, opening its mouth full of teeth and howling at the huge, black hand.

The huge, black hand closed its fingers and the howl turned into a wail.

Li Qingshan had never expected his attack to miss either. Shattering Dai Mengfan’s jade seal took some time. Meanwhile, the daemon wolf was loyal to its master, helping Leng Yuan block this attack.

In the past, perhaps he would find this admirable and spare the daemon wolf and give it a quick death, but right now, he only stared at Leng Yuan and closed his fingers slowly. Fur and flesh oozed out from between his fingers.

The daemon wolf’s wails became even more miserable. It was a Daemon Sovereign, but it could not resist at all in Li Qingshan’s hand. It could not even detonate its daemon core.

“Li Qingshan!!!”

Leng Yuan was unable to remain calm anymore. His heart burned with endless hatred towards Li Qingshan, tempted to perish together with him. He charged at Li Qingshan without any regard, condensing an ice blade with a wave of his right hand and slashing it furiously towards the black hand.

“Be careful, junior brother Leng! Don’t fall for his trick!” Dai Mengfan called out, but it was already too late.

By now, the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance had already suppressed Pi Yangqiu. He looked back over.

Li Qingshan suddenly felt the pressure on his body increase. His fingers tightened, crushing the daemon wolf to death, and he pinched a bloody daemon core between his thumb and index finger, flicking it out suddenly.

The daemon core shot out of his hand, and a great hole appeared in Leng Yuan’s chest. It suddenly exploded at the same time as it pierced his body.

Boom!

The two explosions rang out together. Pi Yangqiu and Leng Yuan basically perished at the same time.
