"Hold on!"
A sense of danger suddenly surged through Li Qingshan's heart. A call rang out from behind him, and there was a flash of fire before him. Zhu Yan blocked his path with his spear. Flames surged around him as his aura surged!
"What else do you want, sir?"
Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Little Ann. Little Ann had always been expressionless in front of others, but Li Qingshan could tell that she clearly understood what was going on. He thought, This girl!
"I've changed my mind. I'm willing to lend the divine wutong tree to you for cultivation!" Zhu Yan pointed his spear at Fire Melt mountain, basically carving the words "ill intentions" into his face.
"Oh? Don't you need me to exchange for it with the head of the Merfolk King? I've already prepared to go to the South sea. "Li Qingshan laid out his hands with a smile.
"Haha, with just you? I can understand that you can't afford it, so I'll show some mercy and lend it to you. Kid, why don't you hurry up and thank me on your knees? "
Zhu Yan's eyes were filled with mockery, like a cat toying with a mouse, and a mouse that was extremely arrogant and had no idea what was going on. However, Li Qingshan's calm and fearless attitude made him raise his guard slightly.
"How can I lend the treasures of the fire devourers to an outsider? I've misspoken. I'll never mention the word" borrow "again!"
Li Qingshan glanced back at Fire Melt mountain. The divine wutong tree stood in the centre of Fire Melt mountain. Once the formations were activated, even Daemon Kings would struggle to escape death. Even if Zhu Yan had been willing to lend it to him sincerely in the beginning, how could he use it without worry? Not to mention that he was clearly filled with hostility right now.
Since he could not borrow it, then he would take it by force! Wondrous treasures of the world belonged to the strong. All he could do was fight.
"What? You said you wanted to lend it to me earlier, but you're not lending it to me now? Are you toying with me? Today, you'll have to lend it to me even if you don't want to! "
Seeing that Li Qingshan wasn't fooled at all, Zhu Yan's face turned grim. Sparks flew out of his mouth and danced around Li Qingshan.
"Didn't your mother teach you not to spit when talking to others?" Li Qingshan waved his hand impatiently. He laughed and said, "Besides, if I, your old man, want to leave, I'll leave. How can you stop me? "
Li Qingshan took out a violet talisman with a flip of his hand. Before he came to Fire Melt mountain, he originally planned on seeing the divine wutong tree in person. It would be great if it really was true. Then he would negotiate a deal with the Fire Devouring King. He borrowed the right to use the Divine Wutong Tree. Conquering all over the Southern Border. He had also accumulated a large amount of spoils of war, and this purple talisman was one of his spoils of war in the southern border.
He never expected the Fire Devouring King to cut him off as soon as he opened his mouth before going all out with his mockery. There was no room for negotiation at all, and now they were prepared to make a move. However, it was not like he was unprepared, or in other words, under Little Ann's special reminder.
Of course, while violet talismans were powerful and rare, they could not pose any threat to Zhu Yan. However, this violet talisman was not for battle.
"A Great Shifting talisman! You want to leave? "
Zhu Yan recognised the talisman with a single glance. With a snap of his fingers, the specks of sparks suddenly erupted, expanding by thousands of times. The power they unleashed was enough to split open mountains and split open the ground.
Li Qingshan turned around and pulled Little Ann into his arms. With a great rumble, the surging flames completely swallowed them. From the ground, they seemed like flowers that had suddenly bloomed in the sky.
The spear in Zhu Yan's hand turned into a scarlet streak of light, stabbing towards Li Qingshan with lightning speed. He did not give Li Qingshan the opportunity to activate the violet talisman at all.
The lofty Demon Suppression Tower fell down, enveloping Li Qingshan and Little Ann.
The tip of the spear collided with the tower, emitting a sharp clang. Zhu Yan was slightly surprised. Although he had not used his full strength in that attack, he did not expect the Demon Suppression Tower to be so tough.
In that instant, thousands of sparks burst forth from the tip of the spear, as if thousands of explosions had occurred. The Demon Suppression Tower only lasted for an instant before shattering.
However, by the time the flames dissipated, Li Qingshan and Little Ann had already disappeared.
"Hmph, and here I was thinking that you had something to rely on to speak so arrogantly before me. It's just a Great Shifting Talisman. I'll find you and skin you alive!"
Zhu Yan snorted coldly and two streams of flames spewed out of his nostrils. Then, he looked around and closed his eyes to sense.
The Great Shifting Talisman could not be compared to the Purple Escape Talisman, which could allow one to travel five thousand kilometers. It could only move five hundred kilometers at most. Coupled with the fact that he was moving two people at the same time, they would not be more than two hundred and fifty kilometers away. They would not be able to escape his pursuit at this distance.
However, after a while, he opened his eyes and frowned. How can they hide their auras so thoroughly? It's as if they don't exist.
Without any hesitation, he chose a direction based on his intuition and turned into a meteor as he gave chase. However, he flew back a while later. Clearly, he had not succeeded.
Zhu Yan wanted to attack Savage Mountain, but he gave up on the idea after some thought. Humans and daemons could do something like that, but there were too many taboos for otherfolk, so they could not act recklessly.
They've taken a blow from me, so they're probably heavily injured as well. Their cultivations are greatly affected. The third heavenly tribulation is like a natural chasm that separates countless geniuses. Even if this kid succeeds one day, it'll be a hundred years at the very least. Why would I be afraid of him? On the other hand, the Merfolk of the South Sea have been rather restless recently. They're preparing for the next expedition!
…
In the misty forest, Li Qingshan and Xiao An walked side by side next to a small river. They were surrounded by giant trees that looked like skyscrapers. The leaves were like clouds, and the roots were like dragons and snakes.
The mist was as thick as milk. As they moved forward, it slowly dissipated, giving off an ethereal aura. However, if a mortal was here, they would be reduced to a pile of bones in an instant. The roars of demons rose and fell, and the shadows lingered in the thick mist.
Li Qingshan could hide his aura to the point where not even a drop of water could be seen, like a spirit turtle in the depths of the sea. Little Ann's Path of White Bone and Great Beauty was renowned for the path of life, death, and space. It was just a set of white bones, so how could he sense it?
If regular second heavenly tribulation cultivators were to receive the Fire Devouring King's Spark Explosion, they would be heavily injured. However, Li Qingshan practised the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa, so his tolerance for fire was very great. He was basically unscathed.
However, he dared not underestimate the Fire Devouring King because of this. The strike was only a probe at most. It was not even a formal attack. If it really were a battle to the death, it would be impossible for the phoenix to ignore the Fire Devouring King's flames if it had not reached the fourth layer. Not to mention, the skill in battle and his tough body demonstrated by the spear made him hold a very high opinion of Zhu Yan.
"No wonder he's so arrogant. If I were to fight him alone, I probably wouldn't be his opponent. Fortunately, you reminded me to prepare a Great Shifting talisman, or it really would be a little troublesome. I need to find a way to collect a few more in the future. It's a pity that I don't have an innate ability like Mo Yu, or I can go wherever I want in the world. "
Li Qingshan said to Little Ann with some pity. He had even tried to learn the "Hiding Through Space" from the asura Yin Qing, but even in the asura realm, there were not a lot of people who knew this move. Not only did it require talent for controlling space, but it also took up a tremendous amount of time and effort, so he could only give up on it.
"Not now, but who knows, maybe in the future." Little Ann smiled. Her hair that reached the ground was like seaweed floating in the seawater, dragging behind her.
"Hopefully. The fire devourers really do live up to their reputation for being bad-tempered. I definitely can't just let the matter go with him this time. I wonder if that bastard will go to Savage mountain? "
"Otherfolk have always been xenophobic. They hate humans in particular, and you're a White Hawk commander too. The Great Xia empire has issued orders to hunt down the fire devourers several times in the past, and it was the Hawkwolf Guard who dug out their hearts for merit. However, I do hope he goes to Savage mountain, "said Little Ann.
"Oh? Why? "
"As long as we sacrifice ten cave masters, there should be people who can help us deal with the problems of Fire Melt mountain," said Little Ann.
A king of otherfolk had attacked a blessed land and massacred human cultivators, and they were all second heavenly tribulation cultivators too. Was he planning on rebuilding his divine kingdom and washing away his old grievances? How could the Great Xia empire tolerate him?
Li Qingshan was mildly taken aback before smiling. "Everything is going according to your plan." He never thought the Blood Oath Scroll would actually have a use like this. "Actually, there's no need for ten people. We only need to send the Marquis of Serene Sea to his death."
"Fair enough, but he probably won't go. He doesn't take us seriously either."
As soon as Little Ann turned around, Li Qingshan pinched her delicate nose and smiled. "You knew the Fire Devouring King would be like this a long time ago, didn't you? You even told me to negotiate with him, which made me lose so much fun. I even wasted a talisman. "
"Nothing is absolute. Perhaps he really will offer us something we can accept, and it won't be the Merfolk King's head. Moreover, we have to personally confirm the divine wutong tree before we can decide whether it's worth the effort or not! "
Little Ann pouted and said with a nasal voice.
"It's worth it. It's very worth it. We're basically determined to get it. Tell me, what other brilliant plans do you have? "Li Qingshan rubbed her head.
"Haven't you already thought of it?" Little Ann said.
"That's right. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If we want to take down Fire Melt mountain, we need to borrow the strength of the Merfolk of the South sea. That little head of yours sure is thinking too much."
Li Qingshan nodded. If they had all undergone the third heavenly tribulation, flattening Fire Melt mountain would not be difficult. However, they did not have that strength right now, so they needed to borrow their strength.
If they did not have the Blood Oath Scroll and went to the South sea and told the Merfolk King, "We're willing to lend you a hand and destroy Fire Melt mountain, it'll probably be boring again." However, if the two of them were coupled with the ten cave masters who had sworn a blood oath and twelve second heavenly tribulation cultivators, it would be enough to become an important counterweight to the balance between the two races. They might even be able to drag the South Sea Sword pavilion down with them.
However, even though they had made so many preparations, how to borrow their strength was still a problem. They would definitely be wary of him, and he could end up as a sacrifice with the slightest carelessness.
"The key is how to move the Merfolk King. Merfolk don't have such a bad temper, but they're exactly the same when it comes to xenophobia. Merfolk hide in the South sea, and the Hawkwolf Guard has far less information than the fire devourers, so it's really difficult to make a decision. Hmph, if that stone fishwoman still doesn't help out, I'll eat her, "Little Ann said.
"Stone fishwoman?" Li Qingshan was taken aback. He smiled. "You're talking about Ru Xin! Don't worry, she'll definitely help me! "
At this moment, Li Qingshan's expression changed. He exchanged glances with Little Ann.
"Someone is attacking Savage Mountain!" Floating Heaven said.
