"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
Bang! Bang!
The bell tolled, and the black and red colors seemed to be swallowed up and disappeared into the bell wall, while the golden bell shone with dazzling light.
*Swoosh! Swoosh!* Li Changzhou raised his hand and slashed twice more, striking the golden bell.
The golden bell's color deepened, giving it a sense of danger, as if it were about to explode at any moment.
Just then, the Taoist waved his hands, and the golden bell, as if bound by invisible chains, circled twice above his head before crashing down on Li Changzhou.
"burst!"
boom!
The golden bell shattered, and the violent power bloomed like a lotus flower between heaven and earth. Wisps of air rushed out of the lotus as if fleeing, creating waves tens of meters high on the Bohai Sea.
With such power, it's hard to imagine what kind of damage Li Changzhou, located at the center of the lotus, suffered.
Wang in the center was completely absorbed, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Are you injured?
Or, could we directly injure Li Changzhou severely?
The blooming lotus slowly closed, as if withering. When the radiance dissipated, Li Changzhou was unharmed. In front of him, the Hungry Ghost Path - Taotie was still not satisfied.
Zheng Qing gave a bitter smile.
“My brother often says you’ve trained Taotie quite well,” Li Qianxia said with a smile.
"...Thank you for the compliment."
Undeterred, the Taoist priest rose proudly from his cushion, his expression frantic: "Become an immortal! Become an immortal!"
With a shudder, it transformed into a fifty-meter-long dragon and plunged into the sea.
Looking down from above, you can see the dragon's silhouette circling on the seabed.
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, and the dragon's tail lashed out, carrying a giant wave hundreds of meters high, crashing down on Li Changzhou like Mount Tai.
The central king clenched his fists in the water; this strike was bound to be—
"It's over," Li Qianxia said softly.
The giant wave, hundreds of meters high, moved slower and slower. At a certain moment, the tail of the dragon hidden within it suddenly burst open, turning into a blood mist.
Wang Zhongguo stared blankly at the scene before him.
"My brother secretly put a Water Element True Blade in the seawater. It's full of heavy water. I don't recommend fighting my brother in a place with the Five Elements."
[I highly recommend the source-switching app for reading books; it's really useful. Download huanyuanapp here. Everyone should give it a try!]
Zheng Qing felt it was best not to offer any suggestions, since the Five Elements weren't present everywhere.
Half of the dragon's corpse floated to the surface of the sea and slowly transformed back into human form. People rushed to rescue it, and the final image froze on Li Changzhou, who was about to turn away.
"Ugh, I feel like my brother is spying on me while I'm showering. I'd better turn it off quickly."
As soon as she said that, Bei Ya stole a glance at Li Changzhou. He stood there, his gaze seemingly penetrating into reality.
The scene was frozen in time, but his eyes still shone brightly. The world seemed like a burst of fireworks to him, and Beya felt a shiver run through her body.
And Li Changzhou's expression—despite being a human tribulation, he remained radiant, as if he might smile at her at any moment.
Bea's heart began to pound wildly.
Zheng Qing turned off the screen. Under the water, Li Qianxia secretly pinched Bei Ya, seemingly teasingly.
Beya bit her lower lip, her face flushed.
In the corner, Zhou Ying clasped her hands between her legs, her eyes darting around furtively.
What doesn't Li Qianxia know? Only Yang Qinglan, who is also a celestial being, can keep it from her.
To avoid awkwardness, she changed the subject: "This Golden Bell skill is amazing."
“Yes, that’s why he volunteered to undergo the tribulation,” Zheng Qing said.
One advantage of undergoing this tribulation is that you will receive full support from the Special Operations Bureau.
"It's called the Golden Bell of Annihilation, right? My brother even gave this skill to Aferona."
Zheng Qing looked at her in confusion: "We have retrieved the Taoist's identity card. As a member of the Special Operations Bureau, his identity card will not be sold, but will be preserved as a keepsake."
“I asked my brother, and the most important thing for becoming a Human Tribulation is not to be defeated, and the second is to hide your methods. When the Golden Bell exploded, my brother used the remaining black mist first. He had actually withdrawn from the black mist voluntarily before. This bastard, after the black mist copied the Golden Bell, he couldn’t resist it, so he used the Hungry Ghost Path.”
Zheng Qing didn't understand at first.
Once she had sorted out her thoughts, she was so shocked that she stood up abruptly.
"You mean," she stared at Li Qianxia, "that your brother can give the skill of copying the black mist to someone else?!"
“Yes,” Li Qianxia looked up at Zheng Qing, then suddenly pretended to be embarrassed and looked away, “Sister Qing, don’t get excited, sit down first.”
Zheng Qing glanced down, blushed, and quickly hid herself in the hot spring pool.
Li Qianxia scooped up a handful of water and poured it on her shoulder as if nothing had happened, thus avoiding Zheng Qing's embarrassment.
She continued, "My brother can use the skills copied by the black mist himself or give them to others, but they can't be kept forever. If they are not imprinted on the identity card in a short period of time, the skills will disappear."
“The meaning of this sentence—” Zhou Ying’s eyes widened slowly.
Zheng Qing had long since fallen silent.
The central king picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Huh?" Bea didn't understand what was going on; she knew very little about the players.
"Among the players on Earth, who can still be his match?" Zheng Qing sighed, "...at will freely choose the skills of top players."
"First-class immortals won't do. To obtain their skills, you have to kill them. But my brother is a pacifist. His dream is world peace. He's not a bloodthirsty person."
"Hmph!" The Central King had a lot of opinions, but he was too lazy to refute them even if he wanted to see them.
Would you argue with someone who believes the Earth isn't round? To say that Li Changzhou is a pacifist is utterly absurd.
