Chapter 248: The Queen's Painting, Tian Gang Subduing the Demon
Boom!
Thunders fell one after another, they were the forty-nine heavenly thunders!
However, the extremely powerful and masculine heavenly thunder, which could best suppress evil, was blocked by a layer of black light before it could even strike Xudu, and dissipated into nothingness.
Xu Du's fingers also began to tremble, and he was getting closer and closer to waking up.
His aura became even more powerful, as if he was a prehistoric beast awakening from its slumber, about to bare his fangs and claws and devour alive the uninvited guest who had entered his territory!
Swords cannot hurt it, and thunder cannot break it.
Li Daoxuan also tried to put it into the Three Realms Gourd, but the gourd did not respond at all.
Obviously Xu Du's cultivation level far exceeded his, so even if the other party was sleeping, the Three Realms Gourd could not take him away.
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but think of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West. The Monkey King was in the same situation when he was escorted to the demon-slaying platform. He had a body of diamond bones, and even the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning, the immortal swords and divine knives could hardly hurt him in the slightest.
Of course, Xu Du couldn't be as powerful as Monkey Brother, but for Li Daoxuan, he was still almost impossible to defeat.
Seeing that Xu Du was about to wake up, Li Daoxuan had no choice but to resort to his last resort.
There was an extra scroll in his hand, which was the scroll given to him by the Empress, and he was told to open it only when he saw Xu Du's true form.
Just now he used his means to chop Xu Du, not because he really thought he could kill the other party, but because he wanted to test whether the other party was real!
Now it seems that it is undoubtedly the real body.
In this case, Li Daoxuan decisively opened the Empress's painting.
As the scroll was unfolded, bursts of fragrance wafted out, like orchid and musk, elegant and long-lasting.
Li Daoxuan was shocked to see a young girl in the painting. She was wearing a green dress and looked somewhat similar to the Lady in Green. Her temperament was ethereal and beautiful. She was sitting alone beside the flowing water, holding a book of poetry in her hand, leaning against the railing, reciting silently.
Li Daoxuan knew at a glance that this was a portrait of the empress, but strangely, the empress in the painting looked a little immature, as if she was only in her teens. Although she was of elegant character, she also had a strong air of worldly things.
It was as if she was sad, regretful, or expecting something.
In short, she is not as cold and aloof as the current Empress. The current Empress rarely has strong emotional fluctuations, as if she is a fairy who has descended from heaven, untainted by the worldly affairs and dust.
This painting... is it of the Empress when she was a young girl?
Crash!
The blood pool was filled with raging waves. Xudu finally and slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the pool.
His eyes were very deep, with an almost mysterious light. When he looked at Li Daoxuan, he revealed an intriguing smile.
It was as if he was not the prey, but the hunter who had been waiting for a long time.
Li Daoxuan was shocked and felt that he was enveloped by a huge fear, as if his head and body would be separated in the next moment and he would fall into the abyss forever.
The spiritual nature of the cultivator becomes confused, like drinking strong liquor, and it is difficult to make clear judgments.
"seal up!"
At the critical moment, Zhang Qianyang shouted loudly, remained calm in the face of danger, took out a golden compass and covered his empty belly.
Top-grade magic weapon, the innate dragon-tiger formation plate!
This formation treasure that had accompanied Zhang Qianyang for decades burst into dazzling light and sent down golden chains, instantly forming a large sealing formation in an attempt to seal the empty belly.
Xudu let the chains put on himself and just looked at Li Daoxuan with a weird smile.
"You're still a step too slow."
After saying that, he struggled violently, and the chains transformed from the array disk instantly shattered into powder.
He sucked hard, and the glittering dragon-tiger formation plate was swallowed into his mouth, and then he bit it with his serrated teeth.
Crack!
The innate dragon and tiger formation plate instantly shattered into pieces and became dim, as if it had lost all its magical power.
Zhang Qianyang spat out a mouthful of blood and said to his apprentice, "Hurry, run!"
The power of the Empty-Dulled Ghost King far exceeded his imagination. That was the formation plate that he had nurtured with his magic power for a lifetime. It had also been soaked in the Tiangang Pool of Longhu Mountain for decades. It was full of Tiangang power. For the evil spirits, even just looking at it might make their souls unstable, let alone eating it.
However, the empty stomach ate it like chewing candy beans.
Xu Du frowned as he ate and said, "As expected, thigh meat is still the most delicious."
He swallowed it with difficulty, but it tasted like chewing wax. Then he stared at Li Daoxuan, looked at his thighs, and swallowed.
Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a chill.
"Now that you're in Yinshan, you can't escape anywhere."
The Ghost King with Empty Belly rubbed his stomach, feeling the hunger invading his bones, and reached out to grab Li Daoxuan.
The meat of an old man is too tough, not as firm and chewy as the meat of a young man.
Looking at the big hand that was grabbing him, Li Daoxuan actually felt unable to move, as if what was grabbing him was not a hand, but a piece of heaven and earth, an entire world!
Although Xudu's hand was not as huge as Chihu's, Li Daoxuan still had the confidence to escape when facing Chihu, but when facing Xudu, he felt that he had nowhere to hide.
Although the Great Five Elements Escape Technique is powerful, it is impossible to escape from a world in an instant.
The world in your palm!
At the critical moment, a flash of sword intent appeared in Li Daoxuan's eyes, as if he had cut off many invisible shackles and freed his body.
He used the Tiandun sword intent to cut off the huge sense of oppression that Xudu brought to him.
But he still couldn't think of any way to defeat the opponent. At this moment, it seemed that the only way he could escape was to use the small teleportation talisman.
Li Daoxuan was extremely unwilling to give up. After going through numerous hardships and finally reaching Yinshan Mountain, was he really going to give up and flee?
In order to enable him to reach Yinshan in time, his junior sister, senior sister-in-law and Taoist Xuancheng all took the initiative to cover his retreat and helped him stop the powerful enemy. If they just ran away like this, Li Daoxuan didn't know how to face them in the future.
If I don't run away, I'm helpless...
His mind raced like lightning, and he thought a lot in an instant, but finally he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
escape!
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
Just as he was about to activate the small teleportation talisman, a cold voice sounded in his heart.
"Put it on a little longer."
It's the Queen's voice!
At this moment, Li Daoxuan seemed to hear the sound of immortals and he breathed a sigh of relief. The Queen had indeed not lied to me. She had actually been paying attention to me all the time. There must be some mystery behind this painting!
Since the Queen said this, there must be a way to deal with a weak stomach.
A trace of determination appeared in Li Daoxuan's eyes. Looking at the big hand that was grabbing him, he stretched out his right hand, on which flowed a golden word "Ding"!
"Certainly!"
With a loud shout from Li Daoxuan, he used the immobilization spell for the last time.
The body of the Hollow-Bellied Ghost King suddenly stiffened in the air and stopped for a short while.
“Interesting is her strength.”
What shocked Li Daoxuan was that even though he was immobilized, the Ghost King with a Hollow Belly could still speak, but his body could not move.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Instead, he looked Li Daoxuan up and down.
"She is willing to grant you so much divine power. It seems that you hold a special place in her heart."
A strange light flashed in Xudu's eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking of. His index finger moved and his saliva kept flowing, corroding the ground into small holes.
"Tell me, is she willing to cut off a piece of meat from her leg to save you?"
Xudu's eyes were full of covetousness. If he were to say who in the world he wanted to eat the most, it would definitely be Lady in Green.
He was both afraid of and covetous of the woman who always made him lose face.
If he could eat a piece of Green Lady's leg meat, it would be better than a hundred thousand dead souls!
When he was excited, his hands trembled and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he wanted to smile.
Li Daoxuan was frightened by this scene. How long had it been?
It's been only a dozen breaths since the spell was immobilized, and the power of the spell is about to be exhausted?
You know, it took Chihu, who was in the Yangshen realm, a full moment before he was able to resume movement after being hit by the immobilization spell.
Li Daoxuan told his master what the empress said, and Zhang Qianyang then understood why his disciple did not run away.
"Disciple, do you really have to kill this hollow-bellied ghost king?"
Zhang Qianyang suddenly asked.
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "As long as there is a slight chance, I can't give up!"
When Zhang Qianyang heard this, he smiled and his eyes showed a hint of determination.
He quietly put away the small teleportation talisman in his hand and looked at his apprentice with a smile.
"You kid, you still haven't changed your temper."
Although he was laughing and scolding, there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
When he met Li Daoxuan in the ghost village, he saw that Li Daoxuan was not even in the Qigong realm, but dared to fight for his life with evil spirits relying on his meager cultivation. Later, he even took a magic dagger and stabbed the snake demon among the Five Gods to death.
At that time, he realized that this young man, although he looked gentle and intelligent, actually had a bit of evil in his bones. No matter what ghosts and gods he faced, he dared to raise the sword in his hand.
Do not respect ghosts or gods, do not respect heaven, just stick to the morality in your heart.
Mirror ghost, Huang Sanlang, fox demon, zombie, dragon...
Unknowingly, they had experienced so much together as master and disciple and defeated so many monsters.
During this process, the disciple grew a lot, not only in magical powers and Taoism, but also in character and wisdom.
He learned to analyze more calmly and plan more carefully, and most importantly, he still hadn't gotten rid of the evil spirit in his heart. Even when facing a terrifying ghost like Xudu, he was still not afraid.
He can already stand on his own!
In this case, what else should I worry about in my old age?
Zhang Qianyang, with his hair loose and his sword in hand, patted Li Daoxuan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Master is still alive. It's not your turn to kill ghosts and catch monsters."
"If you don't wait until the queen arrives, remember to run away immediately!"
Li Daoxuan felt his master's determination. He wanted to stop him, but found a talisman on his shoulder.
He stood there frozen, unable to move.
"Don't worry, this talisman can only last for ten breaths. After ten breaths, it will automatically dissolve."
Zhang Qianyang's eyes were as fast as lightning as he looked at the terrifying Hollow-bellied Ghost King. His heart was filled with fighting spirit, and his whole body was bursting with an upbeat spirit.
He had his hair loose and held a sword in his hand. He stepped on the magic steps and recited profound scriptures. A vast golden light bloomed around his body. An extremely strong and masculine aura rose into the sky, like the blazing sun, like thunder in the sky, like a boiling furnace, and like the rising tide of the river or the sea.
At this moment, he is no longer a little old man struggling to survive and enduring the torture of sword wounds, but a powerful Yangshen who is in high spirits and full of vigor and vitality!
The Master of Tiangang Subduing Demons, Zhang Qianyang!
