Chapter 278 - The King of Poems (1/2)

The Heavenly Courts really did not have much fame.

Tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and the elite Immortal Flood Dragon troops of the dragon race were at the frontline. At that moment, their auras were strong. Someone actually dared to stop them halfway.

The point was… they really stopped them.

The old Daoist priest, who had appeared halfway, had an intense and strong aura. His Dao realm was far beyond that of a Golden Immortal.

Li Changshou’s current cultivation level was barely visible. He had also come into close contact with the Great Daoist Master, Master Zhao, the gentle Fairy Yun Xiao, and other top experts below the Saint.

The moment the brown-robed old Daoist priest appeared, he unleashed his full power. It was naturally shocking that he took the initiative to expose his cultivation level. However, Li Changshou felt that that person’s Dao realm should not be comparable to the strongest disciples of the Dao Sect…

However, in that place, the old Daoist priest could completely intimidate the Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Courts. What the Heavenly Courts lacked the most was high-end combat power.

Li Changshou’s paper effigy was limited in strength, and his detection range was limited. Just as those thoughts flashed through his mind, General Dongmu stood up.

General Dongmu sighed. “Look, look!

How can the marshal act rashly? Wouldn’t he be in a pa.s.sive position if he encountered trouble?

Sea G.o.d, please bring your army over from behind. Let me take a look at the front.”

“General Dongmu, I’ll go.” Li Changshou stood up with a solemn expression. “This Daoist is extraordinary. It’s not appropriate to get into a conflict with him.”

General Dongmu did not dare to be careless when he heard that. He immediately agreed.

Li Changshou flung his horsetail whisk and turned into a wisp of green smoke. However, he escaped into the sea breeze and traveled thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

Who is this old Daoist priest?

He shouted, “These demons are the abandoned children of the Demon Court.” He held a huge gourd that was purple and white in his hand. His appearance was ordinary and plain. He was an old Daoist template that was commonly seen in the Primordial World…

Li Changshou did not know how many great mystical abilities there were in the Primordial World. To be safe, Li Changshou could not determine that person’s ident.i.ty with just a gourd.

That old Daoist priest might have come from the demon race or had a strong relations.h.i.+p with the demon race…

However… Is there something wrong with using the Demon Heavenly Courts of the past to seek approval from the current Three Realms Heavenly Courts?

At that moment, Li Changshou could only make a rough guess. He was worried that the Jade Emperor’s incarnation would be injured, so he used the Wind Escape with all his might.

He was the one who had devised the plan to kill demons.

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation wanted to experience the romance of men. He had just stopped General Dongmu and instigated the Jade Emperor’s incarnation to go.

If the Jade Emperor was beaten up, or even his incarnation was killed, the Heavenly Courts would lose face and become a laughing stock of the Primordial World. Perhaps the Saint would suspect the ability of his disciple!

However… even though Li Changshou was confident in his escape technique and had rushed to the frontline immediately, he was still half a step late.

There was no choice. Marshal Ritian’s first words made the old Daoist priest flare up.

“How dare you!”

Hua Ritian frowned and pointed his sword forward. “The remnants of the Demon Court actually dare to stop the Heavenly Courts’ army!”

When the Jade Emperor’s incarnation said that, Li Changshou’s figure appeared on the left side of the Jade Emperor’s incarnation.

Upon hearing that, Li Changshou almost knelt down to the Jade Emperor.

He was extremely reckless…

No, this is not being reckless. Being reckless is being muddle-headed.

The Jade Emperor is being really strong-headed!

Li Changshou finally reacted. The Jade Emperor did not take the old Daoist priest seriously at all.

The Jade Emperor had the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor behind him. He was also the ruler of the Three Realms in name. The six Saints were his senior brothers and sisters!

What was he afraid of?

It was one thing for the old Daoist priest to obstruct the matters of the Heavenly Courts today, but he had to use the Ancient Demon Court to suppress the current Heavenly Courts. He had already stepped on the Jade Emperor’s pride and even crushed him.

There was an 80% chance that the Jade Emperor wanted to kill the old Daoist priest and strengthen the power of the Heavenly Courts!

Moreover, from the looks of it, the Jade Emperor’s incarnation seemed to have his own confidence…

Li Changshou quickly a.n.a.lyzed that in his heart. He found a position for himself and reminded himself to stick to those principles.

Marshal Ritian shouted again, “Where are the soldiers?”

The Heavenly Generals behind him shouted in unison, “Listen to the Marshal’s orders!”

His voice shook the nine heavens and his aura surged! The brown-robed old Daoist priest in front of him widened his eyes. The word ‘remnants of the Demon Court’ had already infuriated him. He shouted,

“You, a Heavenly General, think that others can’t touch you just because you have merit protecting you!?! Do you want me to have a match with you?”

After saying that, the old Daoist priest’s beard and hair fluttered. He maintained a shocking pressure from head to toe, and the immortal power behind him condensed into a large thundercloud!

Hua Ritian was not afraid at all. He raised the long sword in his hand high up. A ray of golden light descended from the Nine Heavens and shone on his body!

In the golden light, Hua Ritian maintained the posture of raising his sword. His entire body was covered with a layer of golden divine power. Golden light surged in his eyes as he stared at the old Daoist priest in front of him.

In an instant, he had resisted most of the pressure that the old Daoist priest was exuding, causing the morale of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to rise!

The old Daoist priest widened his eyes…

He had used his Dharma powers to threaten him, but he had been ignored by the Heavenly Courts’ general in front of him. The Heavenly General even thought that he was too slow and wanted to attack him.

Is there any justice?

Does the logic of martial arts being the greatest still stand in the Primordial World?

The old Daoist priest roared, “Alright! I’ll kill you today, you arrogant Heavenly General!”

He patted the purple gourd with his right hand. A ray of light shot out from the mouth of the gourd. The ray of light rose 30 feet into the air and instantly condensed into a ball of smoke. A pair of cold eyes appeared on it and stared at the Jade Emperor’s incarnation!

The old Daoist priest’s beard and hair danced in the wind. His aura suddenly became extremely sharp, and a murderous aura weighed down on the place!

“Freeze!”

The old Daoist priest shouted softly. Two rays of white light shot out from the eyes above the gourd and were pointed at Hua Ritian’s forehead!

Before the white light landed on Hua Ritian, the old Daoist priest had already chanted an incantation.

“Treasure, please turn around!”

“Hold on!”

Suddenly, he heard a loud shout. A figure stood in front of Hua Ritian. His white hair fluttered, and his horsetail whisk swayed. He opened his arms and looked emotional.

He was just short of saying, “If you want to kill me, kill me!”

The old Daoist priest paused. However, he did not stop just because he wanted to. If he used that treasure, he would injure himself.

He had already said the word ‘body’!

Two rays of white light struck Li Changshou’s body. A sharp ray of light shot out of thin air. Li Changshou’s heart trembled slightly as he saw a sea of blood surging towards him.

At that moment, Li Changshou’s spiritual perception jumped. He almost subconsciously severed the connection between his main body and the paper effigy. The strange phenomenon in his heart disappeared instantly, and the sharp feeling disappeared!

Is this the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber?!

Li Changshou felt the helplessness he experienced just now. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead… What a terrifying treasure!

His paper effigy could not resist at all!

He had almost injured his main body!

However, it did not seem like there was really a flying dagger that was used to behead a person. Instead, it was used to target the essence soul and kill it…

Li Changshou did not have time to think. He immediately activated… the paper effigy in the sleeve of the Sea G.o.d paper effigy. His mind quickly returned to the West Ocean.

Just as Li Changshou returned to his senses, he heard Marshal Ritian’s angry voice.

“How dare you kill the righteous G.o.d of the Heavenly Courts!”

The paper effigy quickly emerged from his sleeve and saw golden arcs of light sweeping across the ocean surface and being smashed at the old Daoist priest.

At that moment… the paper effigy that had been slashed by the flying saber…

Its head was gone!

Its body quickly released wisps of immortal power.

The Jade Emperor, who had transformed into Hua Ritian, was dressed in golden armor and holding a golden sword in his hand. The shadows of nine golden dragons circled around him as he chased after the old Daoist.

The old Daoist priest was originally disdainful of dodging and wanted to resist Hua Ritian’s attack. However, when the golden light slashed over, it contained a wisp of the power of the Heavenly Dao. It caused the old Daoist priest’s Great Dao to tremble, and he hurriedly retreated in shock.

At that moment, Hua Ritian’s aura had the upper hand. The Heavenly Generals on the left and right immediately gave the order for groups of Heavenly Soldiers to surround and set up array formations.

When the experts of the dragon race saw that the Sea G.o.d had been killed and beheaded, and that the Heavenly Courts’ marshal was so ferocious, all of them rubbed their palms and wanted to pounce onto the old Daoist priest to kill him.

However, a few experts of the dragon race sent a voice transmission to calm them down.

At that moment, Li Changshou could tell that the Jade Emperor’s incarnation was at the late-stage of the Golden Immortal realm. It was equivalent to a sixth-grade or seventh-grade Golden Immortal general who could fight well.
