Chapter 253: 161、King Li Hong of Chu died, Shi Yuyan was possessed, The white-haired demoness (5K big Chapter)_3
With his insight into array technique, he quickly understood the foundation of the Heavenly Fox Clan.
"Someone is attacking."
An old woman from the Heavenly Fox Clan leaned on her dragon-head cane, looking into the distance. She saw a fierce-looking Man wielding a hammer in one hand, striking it violently towards the protective shield of the array technique.
Swiftly, a ray of golden light shot out from the Array, slicing the ferocious Man in half from head to toe, with blood gushing out unceasingly.
However, this ferocious Man was merely the vanguard, and soon, more stragglers followed. There were robed Taoists with feathered crowns, Monks with ordination scars, and even a few women with near-immortal temperament.
"The various schools and sects are probing."
"Moyun Palace’s reappearance is approaching. According to the Star Luo School’s calculations, it should appear near the South Sea’s Lonely Cloud City this Time, but it has fallen in Nanchuan Valley. Each sect suspects that the Heavenly Fox Clan must be hiding some secret..."
The old woman with the cane looked at Xu Xing and explained the intention of the various sects’ actions to him.
She was the High Priestess of the Heavenly Fox Clan.
However, she did not cultivate the Ghost Immortal Path but instead, the Physical Martial Way. Now in her twilight years, her vigor had diminished, losing the beauty that the Heavenly Fox Clan was known for.
"King Li Hong of Chu has finally arrived, and he hasn’t brought a single soldier."
That statement was not uttered by the High Priestess of the Heavenly Fox Clan but was instead spoken by the Disciples of various sects outside.
The sun was setting on the eastern mountain peak.
However, at this moment, a dazzling Great Sun slowly rose from the horizon. A ninety-nine-foot tall Golden Body suppressed the Universe, distorting space-time, making heaven and earth seem to invert for its sake.
Thousands of strands of order emerged around the Golden Body, letting out a mournful wail, as though the Golden Body had torn through space itself, intending to create a new world within this realm.
"King Li Hong of Chu, you murdered more than thirty thousand people from Wukong Temple! Today, I will escort you to the Western Heavens to pay homage to my Buddha!"
"You haven’t brought a single soldier, which makes it the perfect opportunity for me to take revenge! Die!"
A red-robed old Monk emerged from the mixed crowd in Nanchuan Valley. His face was gaunt and bony, holding a Zen staff, while his kasaya draped over him like an oversized robe, empty within.
However, just as he spoke, his thin and weak body suddenly swelled up like a devil, growing several times larger. His red kasaya was stretched taut by his bulging, powerful muscles, appearing somewhat constricted. His back arched like a dragon, and his entire body exuded an indescribable power.
"Wukong Temple’s Blood Burning Technique."
"This is Monk Daosheng, who escaped when the Jiang Dynasty cracked down on Wukong Temple. Over a hundred years ago, he was already a powerful expert in the Leakproof Realm. Although he hasn’t condensed a Golden Body, his aura is not inferior to one. The moment he burns his blood, he possesses combat power comparable to the Golden Body Realm..."
One after another, powerful experts discussed the situation.
However, before their words could even fade, Monk Daosheng, who was attacking King Li Hong of Chu with his staff, was crushed to death by the colossal Golden Body’s foot, as easily as squashing a locust.
Vivid flowers of blood splattered onto the slope.
King Li Hong of Chu’s eyes were icy cold, exuding an aura of unrivaled dominance. As he moved, waves of void-trembling energy erupted from his body. The powerful impact of his qi and blood even directly crushed the Yin Souls of several nearby Ghost Immortals.
"Die!"
"You rebels defying the Imperial Court deserve death!"
His ninety-nine-foot tall Golden Body pressed down on the ground, instantly crushing thousands of powerful experts from the various sects into pulp, like tiny chicks. Any who were fortunate enough to escape were obliterated into fine dust by the shockwave of his palm.
In just a few moments, of the powerful beings from the various sects who had been densely packed outside Nanchuan Valley, most were now dead or grievously injured. Only their sect leaders and House Elders had managed to evade in time.
It’s the aura of the Heavenly Demon Copper Scroll.
Xu Xing was familiar with King Li Hong of Chu’s aura. He noticed that while the King’s Golden Body was dazzling, it wasn’t truly radiant; it seemed mixed with Demonic Qi. It couldn’t compare to his own.
Just now, Monk Daosheng’s Blood Staining Technique, the Blood Shadow...
Xu Xing seemed to have caught a glimpse of a hidden secret from a hundred years ago.
Emperor Hongcheng’s slaughter of Wukong Temple...
Perhaps it was related to the Heavenly Demon Copper Scroll. Why would Wukong Temple, for no good reason, support a contender for the throne, only to be massacred in revenge by Emperor Hongcheng after his enthronement?
The destruction of Wukong Temple was also a direct factor leading to Shi Yuyan and others selecting a True Dragon Emperor to overthrow the Jiang Dynasty.
"Wu Xing..."
"Die!"
At this moment, King Li Hong of Chu, who was outside the array technique of the Fox Heavenly Palace, also noticed Xu Xing’s presence. He sneered, lifted a single foot, and directly stomped toward the Fox Heavenly Palace.
If it weren’t for Xu Xing, his identity as Shooting Sun Marquis Wuyi would not have been revealed, and one of his avatars would not have been killed.
RUMBLE—
As this golden leg stomped down, it carried the sound of rolling Heavenly Thunder. Compared to the kick that had just killed the various sect experts, King Li Hong of Chu had clearly put his full effort into this one. It was an all-conquering blow, seemingly unstoppable!
However, a bright moon suddenly bloomed high in the sky. The immense moon wheel scattered milky-white light, and a white-clothed woman wearing a Bamboo Hat was embedded within it. She seemed like a divine being descending to earth; her Double Pupils were stern, emitting golden brilliance, her demeanor ethereal yet intimidating.
"Dare to kill my son!"
"Die!"
This woman was none other than Shi Yuyan, whom Xu Xing and Heavenly Fox King Xiang Jun had seen.
Having slipped away at some unknown point during King Li Hong of Chu’s massacre of the various sect experts, she now suddenly reappeared at this critical Moment, like a lunar immortal, to save Xu Xing’s life.
The moon wheel blocked King Li Hong of Chu’s heaven-propping golden leg.
However, Shi Yuyan was not unscathed by this attack. The moon wheel she had summoned by forming hand seals was almost shattered. But with a gentle sweep of her wide Sleeve, the moon wheel returned to its perfect state.
Outside the Fox Heavenly Palace, Xu Xing observed a white Dream Tapir inside the moon wheel. It was a manifestation of the Dream Tapir blood refined by Shi Yuyan in the Blood Integration Realm.
"You killed my husband first, and now you want to kill my son."
"This enmity, this hatred..."
Shi Yuyan clenched her Silver Teeth, and her aura soared. The moon wheel in her hand shrank until she could grip it tightly in one hand. Then, she charged with unstoppable momentum at King Li Hong of Chu, as if seeking her own death.
However, in an instant, an overwhelmingly terrifying power burst forth from the moon wheel.
King Li Hong of Chu was blasted more than ten li away. His Golden Body shattered, revealing his dragon-robed figure. A large hole was torn in the robe, and his close-fitting Gold Armor was charred black in one area.
It was this Ancient Mysterious Treasure that had saved his life.
The Universal Salvation Religion does not have this Cultivation Method...
"But you’re also reaching your limit."
King Li Hong of Chu coughed out streams of Golden Blood, his face sullen as he sneered at the white-clothed woman in the distance.
He had already touched the limits of this realm.
No matter how powerful Shi Yuyan was, it was impossible for her to injure him so deeply without suffering any harm herself.
"The Golden Body Realm far surpasses your imagination."
"I, the Emperor, am just one step away from the Cave."
"How could the likes of you possibly compare?"
He laughed unrestrainedly.
But at this moment, once the smoke had cleared, Shi Yuyan had somehow appeared beside him. Her jade-carved right hand plunged directly into his abdomen, piercing skin and flesh, and pulled out a dazzlingly golden heart.
Then, she placed it into her mouth.
