Chapter 667: Advancing to Half-Step Celestial Being (Part 2)
The situation suddenly became dangerous.
Li Wushang stared at the sleeping Zhao Duan with his green eyes, gritted his teeth, and wanted to ask: Did you do this on purpose?
Just as he said he wanted to protect the law, the enemy came. What a shocking coincidence.
However, there was no way out at this time. Although she had no obligation to protect Zhao Duan, this mission was led by her master himself. Li Wushangdao could ignore Zhao Duan's life or death, but she could not leave the golden tablet and run away.
“What a sin…”
She sighed inwardly, then smiled brightly and looked at the nine elders approaching.
"My fellow immortals, we meet again."
"Demon!" The Tianyuan Island Lord's face was icy cold. He raised his hand and clenched his palm, holding a blue ice knife. He stared at the women with cold eyes, then looked at Zhao Duan, as if he understood something:
"So you're all in the same group! Tell me! What exactly are you doing here on Thousand Islands?!"
Who is in cahoots with him... Li Wushangdao almost fainted.
The woman carrying the bamboo basket stared at the twenty or so sorceresses with hatred and said angrily:
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you act quickly and take down this demon?!"
However, the sorcerers who were nominally "kidnapped" did not say a word, resisting with silence.
"Haha," Li Wushang smiled sweetly, his eyes moving:
"Auntie, please stop talking nonsense. What kind of devil are you? I just had a good chat with them and became good sisters. I wanted to make friends with you all, but I don't know what misunderstanding I had that made you shout at me to kill me..."
The elder who looked like a fisherman had already taken off the tattered fishing net around his waist and said coldly:
"Everyone, don't waste time talking to this devil. She's probably just stalling for time. Let's capture these people first and then interrupt them!"
There was a brief hesitation in the eyes of the other few people. None of them wanted to break up with the "Emperor of Yu State" and did not dare to bear the wrath of the future empress.
The Tianyuan Island Master urged angrily:
"Let's do it together! Do you think we have any way out?"
Thinking of the fight between Wu Xiankui and Zhang Yanyi above, everyone sighed in their hearts, and waves of surging magic power began to vibrate.
Li Wushangdao thought to himself that it was not good when he saw this. The other side had more people, while on his side, those female sorcerers could only withstand two elders at most.
Although the dark-skinned woman was strong, she was suppressed badly... She sighed, and suddenly pulled out a golden hairpin from her head again, fiercely cutting her palm, and then drops of blood suddenly flew towards the people around her.
At the same time, her face quickly turned pale:
"My blood can temporarily boost your charisma, thereby weakening your opponent's killing intent... I'm not very good at fighting, so I can only try my best to hold on."
She had only said half of it when she saw Tuoba Weizhi, with a blank expression on his face, rushing out like a cannonball, heading straight for the Tianyuan Island Master:
"Anyone who comes even one step closer to the master will die!"
Jin Jian also thrust his staff into the ground, and circles of moonlight spread out.
More than twenty bewitched warlocks also shared a common hatred and attacked their "compatriots".
In an instant, the two sides fell into a chaotic battle.
…
…
In a daze.
Zhao Duan seemed to be walking in a sea fog. Everything around him was white. He could not see any scenery and could not hear any sound.
"Where is this place? It feels a bit like the feeling of visualization..."
Zhao Duan looked around warily. Just after the Dragon Soul returned, he clearly felt a strong call, and his eyelids were throbbing, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.
"Obviously, my guess was correct. The dragon soul is indeed related to this skeleton... Perhaps the key lies here."
Zhao Du calmed himself down and suddenly heard the sound of the wind whistling. He walked towards the direction of the source of the wind.
After a while, the sea fog suddenly dissipated, and he was surprised to find himself standing on a deserted island.
And in front of us is the skeleton of a huge dragon.
However, this skeleton is not dead and motionless like a fossil.
Instead, it was floating in the air.
Yes, a dragon with only its skeleton left was circling in the air, as if it was still alive.
The so-called "sky" is not entirely the sky, it is more like the blue sea. When the dragon's skeleton swims, it will create circles of ripples and folds.
On the top of the hill, a man in a dragon robe was standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the swaying dragon.
"Old...Old Xu?!"
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly and saw the man's face clearly. He was shocked because this old man wearing a loose dragon robe and black gold boots was actually the Taizu of Dayu.
However, he was nowhere near as young as the one depicted in the "Martial God Picture." Even though his cultivation as a martial arts expert made him look much younger than his actual age, the vicissitudes of life on his face could not be concealed no matter what.
Old Xu turned his head and glanced at him, but his sight seemed to pass through his body and look further away:
"You're here."
Zhao Duan's heartbeat quickened, but because of his experience in the Martial God Diagram, he did not hastily treat the old Xu in front of him as a real person. Instead, he pondered for a moment and tentatively said:
"Eat grapes without spitting out the skins?"
Old Xu said expressionlessly:
"Do you know how to become a 'Martial God'?"
Okay, another bot... Zhao Duan sighed and was too lazy to respond.
As expected, Old Xu didn't even wait for his answer and just spoke:
"The birth of gods is based on hundreds of years of continuous faith. But it is difficult for humans to do so.
Because the lifespan of a warrior is limited to two hundred years at most, and because it is difficult for ordinary people to have faith in humans, even the throne of an emperor is far less revered than that of a god."
Suddenly, he raised his hand, pointed at the skeletons circling in the sky, and said:
“But it’s an exception!”
Old Xu said:
"Demon dragons live for hundreds of years, and once revealed to the human world, they are feared and worshipped by countless people. They are the so-called 'Dragon God'. Their existence proves that living beings can indeed be worshipped and become gods."
Zhao Duan was startled. This statement contained a lot of information. He murmured:
"Could it be that the reason the Qi Nation came to hunt this dragon a thousand years ago was to explore the secrets of the gods? But it seems they were unsuccessful, which led to the subsequent Laba Plan."
Old Xu continued:
"When I entered the Qi Kingdom's palace, I found relevant clues from the ruins and came here. Unexpectedly, the method of cultivating the Martial God was able to be further improved."
As he was speaking, Zhao Duan was astonished to see a ball of powerful Qi rushing out of Old Xu's Dantian. The Qi vaguely took the shape of a little man, which made him inexplicably think of the setting of "Nascent Soul".
The Nascent Soul figure disintegrated and turned into countless rays of light, which seeped into the dragon's skeleton.
Then, the dragon skeleton seemed to roar silently, and a golden dragon soul was spit out, directly into Old Xu's eyebrows!
The giant dragon skeleton, having lost its last bit of spiritual energy, crashed down and slammed heavily onto the hill, half of its body sinking into the mud! Completely dead!
Immediately, Old Xu also turned around and gradually disappeared, leaving Zhao Duan standing there in a daze, realizing something:
"So, this is where the Dragon Soul was truly born?"
At the same time, in reality.
While Zhao Duan was sitting cross-legged in meditation, the huge dragon skeleton above his head suddenly glowed, and the dry bones ignited an illusory pale flame, and then the flame madly poured into Zhao Duan's eyebrows.
It was as if something that had been sealed within this skeleton many years ago had been unlocked by the dragon spirit and was now returning...
Furthermore, along with this, Zhao Duan's aura continued to rise...
Climbing again...
After his battle with Prince Jing, he reached the realm of worldly perfection and once again advanced unreasonably...
…
"Bang!"
Li Wushangdao was blasted backwards by a huge "water cannon" from the opposite side. He crashed into the hillside in a mess, spitting blood.
The hairpin in her hand also fell off. She no longer had any charming temperament. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn in several places, revealing her fair skin.
"Bang!"
Another huge "water cannon" blasted out, and Jin Jian screamed and rolled over in the air. Li Wushangdao reached out and held him, and the two priests fell into each other.
At this moment, the twenty or so warlocks had already been defeated, and as a price, several elders were injured.
However, they were ultimately outnumbered, with only Tuoba Wei left, still struggling to hold on.
The black-skinned priestess' powerful "magic resistance" made her immune to most of the spells of these warlocks.
But the sea sorcerers soon came to their senses and began to control the sea water outside the island, condensing it into a "water cannon" and bombarding it continuously.
Even when Tuoba Weizhi was at his peak, he would have wasted his energy facing the joint siege of so many sorcerers in the world, let alone now?
As another water cannon bombarded him, Tuoba Weizhi spat out a small amount of blood, flew backwards, and hit Zhao Duan not far away.
"Hmph, fight? Aren't you a good fighter?"
The Lord of Tianyuan Island was floating in the air, with surging waves under his feet. He clasped his hands together and sneered.
At this moment, the other elders were also floating on the water.
With the nine people working together, the sea water outside the island surged onto the island in an abnormal way, easily swallowing up most of the island, leaving only a small piece of dragon skeleton on the sea surface.
It looks like the Jinshan Temple is flooded.
"Tianyuan, look! Something seems to be wrong!"
At this time, the woman next to him pointed at Zhao Duan with a bad look on her face.
To be precise, it is the phenomenon of the flames that continue to devour the skeleton.
At this time, everyone realized the danger. Although they could not understand the scene in front of them, the aura emanating from Zhao Duan made them terrified.
"Quickly interrupt him! I have a feeling we'll be in danger when he wakes up!"
The fisherman didn't hesitate and threw the harpoon in his hand fiercely!
Tuoba Weizhi knelt on the ground. Seeing this, a dark and sticky light surged in her pupils. She was about to pounce on him, but she was exhausted and was a step too slow. She could only watch the sharp harpoon pierce towards Zhao Duan.
The three girls couldn't help but panic: "No——"
But at this moment, Zhao Duan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly raised one hand and with a "bang" grabbed the harpoon that was almost about to pierce his forehead.
White flames flowed over and instantly melted the harpoon into a pool of molten iron.
Zhao Duan suddenly opened his eyes, golden flames flowed in his pupils like plasma, and several cracks appeared on his face, which quickly healed.
"collapse!"
At the same time, a sound like some shackles breaking came from his body.
"No! Go!"
Upon seeing this, the Lord of Tianyuan Island was the first to react. He screamed, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around and fled into the sea, trying to escape.
The other elders were a little late, staring blankly as Zhao Duan slowly stood up. He stretched, the golden light in his eyes gradually extinguished, and the last ray of flame on the huge dragon bone also penetrated into his brow.
A glimmer of light flashed across Zhao Duan's eyes. He looked around in confusion at first, and then in the blink of an eye, he understood everything.
He looked at the elders with an expressionless face and uttered two words:
"court death."
"boom!"
The next moment, Zhao Duan's body suddenly left a shadow, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the center of the remaining eight elders.
The tip of the sword in his hand was tilted towards the sea, and blood was flowing from the blade.
The eight elders around covered their necks in shock, feeling the blood gushing out of their severed throats. They finally felt fear and wanted to say something, but it was too late.
Without any room for struggle, eight heads fell into the sea, creating eight waves.
"ah!!"
In the distance, the master of Tianyuan Island, who turned his head to look back while escaping, saw this scene and was scared to death.
At this moment, how could he not understand? A word suddenly jumped out.
"Half-step to heaven!"
Moreover, he was not suppressed by the Sea God at all, and was even enhanced to be a Half-Step Heavenly Being!
At that moment, Zhao Duan broke the shackles of his body, took a crucial step, and entered the realm of half-step heaven for martial artists.
"go!"
Zhao Duan glanced at him coldly and threw the sword in his hand violently.
The Lord of Tianyuan Island tried to resist, but for some reason, his magic was "suppressed" and he couldn't make any waves.
Like an ordinary person, he watched helplessly as the sword pierced his heart.
Feeling his vitality rapidly draining away, the Tianyuan Island Master raised his head and looked at Zhao Duan blankly:
“Why…why…”
Zhao Duan put the rotating black tortoise seal in his palm back into his sleeve, and with his other hand, he spread out his five fingers and grabbed. The sword hummed and trembled, crushing the last bit of life of the Lord of Tianyuan Island, and then flew back joyfully.
In just a few breaths, all nine elders were killed by Zhao Duan alone.
“Clatter—”
The sea water, having lost the support of magic, began to recede rapidly.
"Master... Master?" Tuoba Weizhi stared at the figure in front of him in a daze and called out cautiously.
Zhao Duan turned around and looked at her, as well as Jin Jian, Li Wushangdao and others who were helping them stand up. He smiled and said softly:
"I'm fine. You guys have worked hard. You don't have to do anything next. It's safe here. You can hide for a while. I'll go out and kill someone first."
After saying this, Zhao Duan didn't wait for anyone to answer. He jumped up with his sword in hand and dived into the sea.
Only a group of women were left standing there blankly, staring at the corpses floating on the sea, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
Li Wushangdao murmured:
"He is the devil..."
…
…
On the sea.
The wind was blowing fiercely, the waves were dancing wildly, the rain was falling from the sky, and thunder was looming.
In the sea fog, a ship was trembling. On the deck of the ship, Ji Yue, Shui Bei, Hong Shan Island Master and others looked at the sky with pale faces.
In the air.
Zhang Yanyi and Wu Xiankui fought again and defeated each other.
The old Taoist priest laughed:
"Wu Xiankui, if you want to keep me here, your skills are not enough."
Wu Xiankui swung his one arm in the rain, his face cold and indifferent:
"Zhang Yanyi! You can keep pretending! But I want to see how long you can hold out! Haha, you didn't expect that you would bear 70% of the Sea God's wrath by yourself, did you?"
Zhang Yanyi didn't say anything. He originally wanted to ask Wu Xiankui to share the firepower, but he didn't expect to miscalculate.
Qingshan has been near the East China Sea for many years, and the martial arts path has been less suppressed... In this round of hard fighting, although he had the upper hand, his mana was greatly consumed.
Zhang Yanyi looked at Ji Hai anxiously, whispering in his heart:
"Boy, if you don't come out, you'll be in trouble..."
Right now.
Suddenly, a hole suddenly appeared on the surface of the Jihai Sea, and a figure holding a knife broke out of the water like a star!
