The Dragon Blood burning with terror and scorching heat set ablaze countless flames, soaring above Qianyuan Daoist City like a great sun rising.
All the rain and snow completely melted away!
A gargantuan True Dragon, swallowing the Dragon Ball Golden Core, emerged roaring, its Divinity burning wildly!
Above the clouds of Talismans.
Sect Master’s Wife Xuan Qisha excitedly pulled Xi Xi, who was holding the pink Immortal Artisan Gatling.
Her five fingers came together, blocking the slight light in front of Xi Xi’s eyes.
"Child, don’t look.”
Then!
Between heaven and earth.
A dull thud.
"Thump!”
Deafening, as if someone was hammering fiercely onto a drumhead, the sound waves rolling forth.
Yet, that was all.
There were no earth-shattering collisions, no deafening roars.
The Dragon Queen Consort’s momentum was overwhelming, shattering the skies, and collided with a tiny drifting Talisman in the storm.
Then…
There was no more after that.
Spring Pavilion was completely reduced to ruins.
A huge deep pit replaced the original main building.
The ground sank deeply, collapsing and falling, and the surrounding hot rocks melted, flowing slowly like magma.
The snow halfway through the sky turned into water from the scorching heat.
It turned into pouring rain, pattering down.
Falling onto the hot ruins of the deep pit.
In the ruins of the deep pit.
The Dragon Queen Consort lay on her back in the deep pit, her towering chest heaving vigorously, her black hair spread out, sticking to her pale, jade-like skin.
Yet her skin, delicate as porcelain, was covered in cracks.
Tiny Blood Pearls seeped out from beneath those cracks, densely packed, converging into a blood-red painting across her body.
In front of her, a figure stood with crossed arms, hissing and steaming with intense heat.
It was Li Qing in Golden Armor.
In midair.
The Sect Master’s Wife Xuan Qisha, standing on the cloud of Talismans, lifted her hand and beckoned the tiny Talisman that had struck the Dragon Queen Consort. It glowed with a pearly light and gently floated back to her fingertips, held daintily like a flower.
She released her hand that shielded Xi Xi’s eyes.
She let out a soft gasp of surprise.
Xi Xi immediately looked eagerly and saw the large ruined pit and the Dragon Queen Consort fallen inside it.
"Ah? It’s over already?”
"Just that?”
Xi Xi felt unsatisfied.
"How come there weren’t even any explosions? It’s not as thrilling as Master Niu Niu’s fireworks!”
Xi Xi muttered.
Beside her, Sect Master’s Wife Xuan Qisha rolled her eyes.
Then, she looked down, seemingly surprised that Li Qing had managed to break free from the Binding Immortal Talisman’s restraint and reappeared.
Right when a Locking God Talisman was knocked down.
The very moment the Princess Consort collided with the Locking God Talisman.
Li Qing broke free from his bindings, soared to the sky, unleashed unprecedented terrifying Qi-Blood, and frantically helped to resist that Locking God Talisman.
"Triggering the Divine Seed within the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, stimulating the limits of his potential, releasing Qi-Blood far beyond what his Physical Body could bear, he took on most of the force of the Divine Talisman for this foolish dragon
"Loyalty indeed.”
A faint voice came from the Sect Master’s Wife.
In the deep pit, tiny stones pelted by rain clicked and rolled incessantly.
Li Qing stood with crossed arms, his Golden Armor already shattered and dissolved, revealing his scorched and blurred flesh.
The strained muscles quivered incessantly.
Li Qing gasped heavily, blood overflowing from his mouth and nose.
His body wobbled, and the exploded Divine Seed [Angry Heavenly King Pupil] finally fell silent.
His body swayed, unable to support itself, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
His crossed arms hung weakly, like wilted snowflakes in the wind.
"Sect Master’s Wife
"She…is my…Mistress.”
Li Qing gasped heavily.
"You just now…wanted to kill her
Above the clouds of Talismans, the Sect Master’s Wife said lightly, “How so? She wanted to kill my disciple, am I not allowed to kill her?”
The Sect Master’s Wife looked at Li Qing.
"She is your Mistress, not your birth mother
"For her, you triggered the Divine Seed inside the Qi Gate… With your severely injured state, the path to becoming a Martial Saint is now even more rugged. Is it worth it?”
"Maybe you’ll never become a Martial Saint in this lifetime… Don’t you regret it?!”
"This wicked creature may not even remember your kindness.”
Li Qing chuckled softly.
"As long as I carry out my teacher’s orders, it is enough
"Madam insults my mistress today… Be careful of how my teacher settles this.”
Li Qing spoke in a low voice.
The Sect Master’s Wife laughed: “Hehehe
She rubbed Xi Xi’s head: “A fight between women, does Ji Moli really dare to take action against grandma?”
"If he wants to seek justice, he’d go straight to my husband.”
"As if my husband is dead.”
When mentioning her own husband, the Sect Master’s Wife mimicked Xi Xi’s posture, pushing out her chest and little belly.
Unfortunately, she had no little belly.
Xi Xi, however, demonstrated vividly for the Sect Master’s Wife.
"Hahahaha
The Sect Master’s Wife affectionately rubbed Xi Xi’s little belly.
"Are you no longer upset?”
The Sect Master’s Wife asked.
Xi Xi looked at the Dragon Queen Consort below, pursed her lips: “I’m no longer upset, thank you Sect Master’s Wife Master!”
"That Divine Talisman is powerful, isn’t it? Xi Xi, do you want to learn it?”
The Sect Master’s Wife squinted, enticingly.
Xi Xi’s eyes lit up: “I want to learn that Immortal Binding Talisman!”
"Ah?” The Sect Master’s Wife was startled.
Her Seven Killings God-locking Talisman was so powerful, yet Xi Xi wasn’t drawn to it?
"Xi Xi loves fireworks!”
Xi Xi declared.
