Chapter 339 - The Strongest Assistant of the Primordial World! (1/2)
Li Changshou stood on the ruins of the Crystal Palace and looked at the deep sea pit in front of him. He could not help but feel puzzled… Why are you running?
What are all of you running for?
Originally, with Ox-head and Horse-face as the “guest actors”, Li Changshou felt that he could be more reliable this time and not take action. He had a high chance of stalling, breaking through, and escaping However, halfway through the first plan, the Great Daoist Master suddenly gave the order. As his junior brother, he could only pa.s.sively operate and change his train of thought. He revealed the traditional skills of the disciple of Ren School, the Heavenly Courts’ Civil Official, Little Daoist Master Xuan Du. At that moment, the problem seemed to have become dealing with thousands of experts at once. In fact, the problem is… I have a 98% chance of escaping at any time. When facing thousands of experts who lack great mystical abilities, how can I inadvertently let them know that they can’t break my defense? The reason that Li Changshou could so decisively “change the script” at the last minute was mainly that he had already prepared this backup plan. Before he attacked, he was confident. Secondly, there were no disciples of the Saint.
There were also strong and weak Primordial Beasts. Wen Jing and Jin Chanzi were already considered ruthless figures. The batch of ferocious beasts in the West Ocean Dragon Palace was clearly weaker.
Moreover, the dragons there had been controlled by the Western Sect using a curse. Although the old dragons were very powerful and had been nurtured by the West Ocean Dragon Palace over a long period of time, they were not as powerful as the West Ocean Dragon King, who was a true ancient expert. There were also no ancient battle dragons guarding the Sea Eye.
Otherwise, Li Changshou would not have dared to act rashly!
Look at how he did it… First, he used the paper effigy that was in the form of a gourd spirit child to retaliate. Then, he suffered the attacks of dozens of dragon race elders and created a mental pressure on the other party, creating the image of a “mighty figure”.
During the entire process, he targeted the person in charge of the other party, the Crown Prince, Ao s.h.i.+. He threatened him with words, protected himself with a treasure, and used an escape technique to successfully capture Ao s.h.i.+… The most difficult part of this plan was not to reach Ao s.h.i.+’s side with an escape technique, but how to successfully escape from the siege of dozens of dragon experts. Li Changshou’s method was actually very simple. He would just not go in.
The moment he turned into a stream of water and exploded, his true body had already used the escape technique to hide to the side and used the power of the Taiji Painting to conceal himself.
He used dozens of streams of water to attract the other party’s attention. Then, he secretly used the Cosmic Escape technique and sent a Golden Immortal paper effigy behind Ao s.h.i.+.
Li Changshou’s attainment in the Cosmic Escape technique was far inferior to the other escape techniques that he had immersed himself in for many years. When his main body used them, there would be a lot of obstacles and traces.
However, Li Changshou was already familiar with using the Cosmic Escape technique to send the paper effigy to the designated location. When the paper effigy used the Da Yu Hydrology Diagram to cause trouble and trap Ao s.h.i.+, Li Changshou immediately used the telekinesis technique to send the treasure map back to his main body. Then, his main body appeared and attracted the other party’s attention. He used that to cover the Earth Emanations Spirit Explosion Array on the paper effigy in the Golden Immortal realm and activate it…
The entire plan was executed smoothly and seamlessly. There were no major mistakes.
From the beginning to the end, Li Changshou only needed to grasp the rhythm to create a feeling of being able to come and go as he pleased. It was dazzling and overwhelming, and it would increase his psychological trauma. “The so-called ‘danger’ during this period is just the illusion of the enemy and the bystanders.” However, what puzzled Li Changshou was that after the spiritual explosion, the enemies… retreated just like that.
The other party retreated very quickly. Before the lingering effects of the spiritual explosion dissipated, the traitors had already turned around and quickly retreated from the Crystal Palace. When they left, many ferocious beasts and traitors cursed and shouted at the officials of the Heavenly Courts. They even said that the generals of the Heavenly Courts were just a pretense and that the real ruthless people were living in retirement among the officials.
He was clearly slandering the amiable image of the Heavenly Courts’ immortals! However, Li Changshou felt a little regretful that the other party retreated quickly. After all, he was prepared to sacrifice three Golden Immortal paper effigies today. There was a limit to the number of Golden Immortal paper effigies that could exist at the same time. However, he could create more after destroying them.
Why did the other party retreat? Aren’t these traitors controlled by the Western Sect? Aren’t they supposed to be fearless of death? The spiritual explosion just now did not cause much damage. It only tore apart more than half of the old dragons in the core of the Cosmic Seal. Half of them were still intact.
However, because of the dense formation of the dragons and the Cosmic Seal, the power of the spiritual explosion was reduced. Only 30% of the thousands of experts were injured, and 70% were fine…
There were many casualties among the rebels outside, but most of them were Perfected Immortal realm Immortal Flood Dragon troops. They fully portrayed the term ‘cannon fodder’ and the accurate definition of the Primordial World.
When the other party retreated, not only did the thousands of experts retreat, but the hundreds of thousands of troops outside also quickly retreated to the AparaG.o.dānīya Continent. They did not care about their formation and fled in a sorry state.
Li Changshou did not have time to chase after him. He could only rely on the Water G.o.d Deity Position that had yet to be fully formed to calm the roars of the West Ocean and reduce the casualties of the living beings in the sea. He could not increase his negative karma too much…
Then, he sorted out the subsequent operations of the plan and felt a little regretful.
He could not use it again.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not predict the heart of a living being. This time, he had miscalculated the enemy’s psychological endurance…
At that moment, half of the Crystal Palace in the fan-shaped area behind Li Changshou was safe and sound.
Clearly, during the spiritual explosion, the PaG.o.da Master had helped to protect the remaining fire seeds of the West Ocean Dragon Palace.
Ao s.h.i.+, who had returned to his human form, was lying behind Li Changshou. His body was covered in wounds, and he was barely breathing. He was seriously injured. With a steady hand, Li Changshou released a wisp of immortal power and added a few… ten layers of seals to Ao s.h.i.+’s dragon soul.
It was to prevent him from self-destructing.
Li Changshou then scanned his surroundings and activated a portion of the paper effigies to receive the experts of the dragon race who had rushed over from three directions. He wanted them to avoid encountering the main force of the rebel army and increase their casualties. The light membrane of the Five-Element Array slowly retracted. The gourd spirit children put the small gourd back on their heads and turned into paper effigies. They flew towards the calabash vine and entered the cracked gourds. Li Changshou opened his left hand and the calabash vine returned to his sleeve.
He looked at the deep pit in front of him and sighed softly. He turned around and took two steps towards the West Ocean Dragon King. The hundred-odd Immortal Flood Dragon troops subconsciously took half a step back. The experts of the dragon race surrounding the throne had complicated expressions.
Two Battle Magi in headgear were squatting behind the throne. They had their hands in their sleeves and were mumbling softly. “Is this what the Water G.o.d meant by stalling time? Neigh…” “Isn’t that so?”
Ox-head chuckled. “Kill all the enemies and buy time for our reinforcements to rush over. This can be considered a delay. Moo…”
“Should we still capture their souls?” “How? Their souls are long gone. The Water G.o.d is here. Let’s go!” As he muttered, the two Magi jumped behind Li Changshou. They hugged their arms and dragged a pile of chains to the West Ocean Dragon King. With the help of the dignified and beautiful Dragon Queen beside him, the West Ocean Dragon King stood up shakily and bowed.
“Thank you for saving my life, Water G.o.d.”
“There’s no need to be so polite, Dragon King.” Li Changshou hurriedly replied and took out two more bottles of pills. “Dragon King, did you get poisoned?” “That’s right.” The West Ocean Dragon King felt ashamed when he heard that. “Water G.o.d, you have clearly warned me previously, but I was still careless and fell into his trap. I never expected that the Western Sect had completely emptied the Dragon Palace.”
