Chapter 666: Advancing to Half-Step Celestial Being (Part 1)
"Death, witch!"
Zhao Duan left a shadow behind and rushed forward with a sword in hand.
Li Wushangdao's green pupils flashed, and he pulled out two golden hairpins from the top of his head with his left and right hands, and held them in his palms.
After the heavy golden hairpin fell into his hand, it stretched and extended into two golden blades in the blink of an eye.
"clang!"
At this moment, the blade that Zhao Duan was about to chop down was blocked by the snow-white arms raised by the witch in front of him, which were holding two hairpins crossed.
“What a great strength!”
Li Wushang let out a low cry. As a sorcerer, he was still several steps behind the warriors in terms of hand-to-hand combat. He felt as if his arms were electrified, and they felt numb and tingling. His legs were a little weak, and the two huge golden hairpins almost slipped out of his hands.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Duan was also secretly surprised. Logically speaking, the force of his sword should not be something that this evil woman could withstand.
But the strange thing was that at the moment when he chopped down the blade, a strong emotion of "pity for women" surged in his heart, as if his ruthless act of destroying the flowers went against his true inner will.
Therefore, he himself absorbed 70% to 80% of the force of the knife.
"This witch's magic can affect my inner self! I can't look into her eyes!"
Zhao Duan reacted quickly. He closed his eyes, used his observation to guide the direction, raised the knife with both arms, stepped out with his right foot, and made a standard "Kunshan Kao" with his shoulder, crashing towards the beautiful jaw of the witch!
Li Wushangdao's reaction was faster. After realizing that he could not win in close combat, he immediately used the force to lightly retreat backwards. His long legs under the veil made "thump thump thump" footprints on the sand.
"What a cruel man!"
Li Wushang narrowly avoided a blow that was enough to shatter her entire jawbone, and the two golden hairpins in her hand suddenly flew out of her hand and flew towards Zhao Duan.
After the golden hairpin escaped from control, it seemed to have life, pulling the golden light from the left and right, strangling Zhao Duan.
However, Zhao Duan could even block the flying swords. He easily knocked down the two hairpins, breaking up the magic power covering the surface and causing them to fall like scrap metal.
Immediately, Zhao Duan raised his eyes coldly. Deep in his eye sockets, an illusory lotus blossomed. In the center of the lotus, a transparent "dragon girl" slowly opened her eyes.
At this moment, the dragon girl's eyes met Li Wushangdao's "seductive eyes".
Li Wushangdao and the Dragon Girl were both stunned at the same time, and neither of them was able to shake the other.
In this duel between gods, the two sides ended in a draw.
But Zhao Duan took the opportunity to rush forward and with a knee strike, he flipped the mysterious female sorceress over on her back amid Li Wushangdao's painful wails and rode on the ground.
Immediately, the cold blade pressed against her delicate neck.
Zhao Duan said coldly:
"Tell your men to stop, or I'll kill you."
Li Wushangdao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he said nothing. However, the sea god sorcerers who were fighting with Tuoba Weizhi had already panicked and were ready to rush over to take back their "king".
Seeing this, Tuoba Weizhi clenched his fists, ready to strike...
At this critical moment, behind the crowd, on the nearest sunken ship, Jin Jian's petite body stood up, carrying a huge, bulging cloth bag.
The young priestess saw this scene and opened her mouth in astonishment. The cloth bag in her hand fell to the ground and she cried out:
"Third Senior Sister?!"
Li Wushangdao was also startled when he heard the voice, and the deep green color in his eyes quickly faded away:
"Jin...Jin Jian?"
…
…
A moment later.
A huge coral forest clearing.
The two sides stopped fighting and stared at each other. To be more precise, they were watching the "witch" and Jin Jian hugging and reminiscing about the past.
"So, this woman is your senior sister? The third disciple of Master Zhang Tianshi?"
Zhao Duan looked at the golden tablet speechlessly, as if to confirm.
Jin Jian turned back and nodded seriously. She held the witch's hand:
"Yes."
The woman with a golden hairpin on her head, full of sexiness, also looked over now, her eyes full of brilliance, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she smiled actively:
"Li Wushang Dao, I have long heard of Envoy Zhao's great name. Now that I have met him today, I can see that he is indeed a man of great talent."
Li Wushang said... What kind of name is this? It's similar to Gongshu Tianyuan... Zhao Duan complained in his heart, feeling quite helpless. Although he knew that this priest was in the East China Sea, he didn't expect to meet him here.
He nodded indifferently:
"I have often heard the Heavenly Master mention you."
Li Wushang was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth and laughed softly, shaking with laughter:
"Haha, that old man never mentions me. When I was in the Tianshi Mansion, he often scolded me for being immoral and rushed me out to gain experience. Haha, but I've cultivated the 'Beauty Goddess' and I'm admired wherever I go. What can I do?"
Han Zhao is a gambler, and this Li Wushang Daoze is like a female gangster... No wonder these two priests were chased far away and rarely show up. They are the shame of Tianshi Mansion... Zhao Duan was amazed.
Now, after the misunderstanding was resolved, the twenty or so Sea God Warlocks looked at Zhao Duan with both vigilance and curiosity.
Obviously, "Envoy Zhao" is also well-known.
"Senior Sister, I heard that a 'demon' appeared in Qiandao. Is it you?"
Jin Jian was quite happy to see an acquaintance and asked curiously.
Li Wushang smiled, put his arm around the girl's thin shoulders, and said softly:
"A demon? That's just slander from the sorcerers of Qiandao. I just came to the East China Sea to wander around, sightsee on the islands, and talk to people. As a result, some local sisters took the initiative to follow me.
I didn't expect to be slandered by Tianyuan Island Master, Elder Qingmu, and others, who even threatened to hunt me down. I had no choice but to hide."
As she spoke, she snorted again and said indignantly:
"Sisters, you were born as human beings. You should follow your heart when deciding whether to stay or go. How come you have become the property of Tianyuan Island Master and others? You can't even decide who to follow?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the twenty or so warlocks nodded like chickens pecking at rice, united in their hatred of the enemy, and loudly condemned the tyranny and ruthlessness of the "Ten Elders".
Zhao Duan was speechless, thinking to himself, are you sure they are following you on their own initiative?
Instead of you using charm to seduce her?
He sighed softly, not bothering to care about it, and said seriously:
"Then why are you here?"
Li Wushangdao did not answer immediately, but rolled his eyes and smiled foolishly:
"The envoy seems to be interrogating a prisoner. He hasn't explained why he came to the East Sea? And why did he bring the golden tablet with him?"
Jin Jian spoke quickly and said:
"Master is here too. Let's come together to carry out the mission."
Li Wushangdao's expression suddenly froze. Kazilan's eyes widened, and her tone became a little higher:
"Master is here too?!"
She suddenly felt a little guilty, like a "Sang Biao" who was doing evil outside and learned that the master of the house was coming to attack.
Zhao Duan sighed and pointed to the top of his head:
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Heavenly Master is currently on the sea, fighting with Wu Xiankui. The Sea God's attention should also be there. We are diving into the Silent Sea for another purpose."
Wu Xiankui is here too?
The battle between gods and humans... At this moment, Li Wushangdao's expression finally became serious.
She restrained her teasing and flirting and frowned:
"It seems something big has indeed happened. Actually, I don't know more than the envoy, nor did I arrive much earlier.
Two days ago, I learned that the elders of the Thousand Islands were going to join forces to hunt me down, so I went into hiding for the time being. Since the sea area was blocked, I simply decided to hide in the Silence Sea, where I could hide in the dark..."
Haha, just hiding?
I'm afraid she's here for the treasure in the Silent Sea... Zhao Duan didn't expose her.
Li Wushangdao continued:
“But after entering the Silence Sea today, I unexpectedly came to this mysterious space. I have been to the Silence Sea many times before, but it was never like this.
We were so surprised that we explored this direction and noticed some movement from your side. We came over to see what was going on, and then there was a misunderstanding between us."
She pointed in a direction.
The route is somewhat different from the location where Zhao Duan and others landed on the island.
Zhao Duan nodded, accepted the explanation, and said:
"Since it was just a misunderstanding, let's put it aside. Fortunately, no one on either side was killed or injured. Now that time is running out, I plan to go to the dragon skeleton and find out what happened."
Li Wushang nodded: "I am also interested in going."
Well... She was curious about the island and also wanted to know what the purpose of Zhao Duan and his group was.
After talking, the group simply headed towards the skeleton together.
Zhao Duan then looked at the golden slip and said unhappily:
"Where did you go just now?"
If Jin Jian hadn't left, the fight wouldn't have happened and disaster would have almost occurred.
Jin Jian also knew that he was a little in the wrong, so he avoided his staring gaze and walked away silently, dragging the bulging cloth bag with his hands.
Tuoba Weizhi came over and said calmly:
"Master, I see that the bag is full of pearls, gold, silver and other treasures I have picked up."
"...Sure enough." Zhao Duan wanted to hold his forehead. He guessed that Jin Jian was blinded by money and went to search for treasures in the sunken ships.
At this time, everyone simultaneously sensed that the invisible pressure between heaven and earth increased again.
The sea near the island is becoming increasingly rough.
This means that the fighting on the sea has probably reached a fever pitch.
Zhao Duan quickened his pace. Soon, the group passed through the coral forest and climbed up the hillside. Finally, the entire skeleton of the giant dragon that died a thousand years ago appeared before their eyes.
The pale skeleton, which was dozens of feet long, was lying in a "prone" position on the top of the hillside.
The tail curved downward along the slope, while the dragon's head rested on the top. Its eye sockets revealed huge hollows, and the entire dragon's skeleton was devoid of any scales or flesh. Even nearly half of its skeleton was buried in the soil, merging with the slope. Or perhaps...
To describe it more vividly:
"This dragon skeleton is like it was planted on this hillside."
Li Wushangdao looked up at this ancient mysterious life and murmured.
"Look!"
Suddenly, Jin Jian raised his finger and pointed to the dragon's head. He saw a plant emitting a faint glow growing faintly in the skull.
"It's the Dragon God Grass!" A sorcerer spoke and explained its origin.
Is this the holy medicine for healing?
Everyone was stunned, but no one went to pick the fruits. Instead, they all looked at Zhao Duan.
Obviously, everyone knows that this Dragon God Grass should belong to the most powerful Envoy Zhao.
But at this moment, Zhao Duan didn't even look at the plant, but stared at the huge skeleton in a trance.
The dragon soul in his sea of qi had almost awakened, and his ears were filled with the illusory sound of waves.
It was as if there was a will guiding him.
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, Zhao Duan took a step and walked straight towards the skeleton.
At the same time, an illusory "dragon" suddenly emerged from his sea of qi.
"Ah! It's a dragon!"
"There's a dragon on him!"
The warlocks cried out in shock as they saw the dragon soul entwined around Zhao Duan and flying around the huge skeleton.
Finally, it suddenly dived back into Zhao Duan's stomach and disappeared.
Zhao Duan took a step and walked into the huge chest cavity of the skeleton. Suddenly he turned to face the crowd, sat cross-legged and meditated, and said:
"I'm going to retreat for a while. Tuoba, Jin Jian, protect me."
After saying this, he closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.
"this……"
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what was going on. Only Tuoba Weizhi took the lead and stepped forward. He turned to face everyone, and with an expressionless face, he acted like a bodyguard.
Jin Jian also withdrew his gaze from the Dragon God Grass with great determination, tightly grasped the staff, and stepped forward to protect the law.
Li Wushangdao said speechlessly:
"What are you two staring at me for? Even though I had a fight with him, it was all a misunderstanding. Besides, Master is outside right now, how could I possibly disturb him? Besides, there are only a few of us here, so no one would bother him...right?"
Tuoba Weizhi suddenly raised his head, his gaze passing over the towering trees and towards the sea:
"Someone's coming."
…
Near the island, on the rough sea.
"Bang!"
A wave exploded.
The master of Tianyuan Island, whose hair and eyebrows were blue, broke out of the water, stood in mid-air on the waves, and looked at this mysterious sea in astonishment.
Immediately afterwards, one figure after another emerged from the water behind him.
There were nine elders, all of whom were surprised and delighted:
"What...is this place? Could the legend be true? When the Sea God becomes angry, a secluded mountain in the Silence Sea will open its gate to the mortal world."
There are many legends on the East China Sea, especially those related to the fairy mountains.
"Something's wrong!" The Tianyuan Island Master was the first to calm down and said:
"I'm afraid the Sea God is unusual this year. Zhang Yanyi and Wu Xiankui's arrival is not for the Divine Dragon Grass."
The woman with the bamboo basket on her elbow said in surprise:
"You mean, their destination is here?"
The middle-aged man dressed as a fisherman also said solemnly:
"That Zhao Duan rushed into the Silence Sea, probably just to get in here. Everyone, no matter what the purpose of these outsiders is, this is our territory, and we must not let them mess around.
Otherwise, if something catastrophic happens, they'll leave and we'll be left to bear the consequences."
The other elders also nodded, but they inevitably had different thoughts in their minds. Some even looked towards the island with strong expectations and greed in their eyes.
Without hesitation, the nine elders quickly landed on the island and quickly approached the center of the island.
In this place, as Poseidon monks, they were hardly suppressed.
Soon, the nine people rushed out of the coral forest and arrived at the foot of the hill where the dragon skeleton was located. They saw a group of women who looked like they were facing a great enemy.
"Ah, it's that devil!"
An elder pointed at Li Wushang and shouted, "It really is related to her!"
The Tianyuan Island Master stared at the handsome young man sitting cross-legged in meditation at the top of the slope, and a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.
"Oh no! They're just trying to steal the gods' treasures. Stop them!"
Li Wushangdao looked at the nine elders who were coming at him aggressively, his cheeks twitching. He turned his head and stared at Zhao Duan angrily:
"You sleep at the right time!"
