Chapter 694 – Innate Ability of the Tiger Demon, Subservience to the Tiger (1/2)
The ground suddenly shook. Many people lost their footing and fell to the ground, and a small carriage almost rolled into the lake.
“What’s going on? Is it an earthquake?” Someone pointed at the sky and exclaimed, “What’s that?”
Everyone in the surroundings gaze over. A straight streak of scarlet light pierced through the air and vanished into the surface of the lake. Some people said it was a meteor, but they were immediately rebuked. Were there any meteors that traveled with such a trajectory?
As they discussed, a great boom rang out from the distance. Because it was overly far away, the boom was not particularly startling.
Afterwards, everyone saw it. Wherever the scarlet light passed by, the clouds parted, vaguely forming a circular hole. A thin, white line rose up on the water, rapidly growing in size. A terrifying wave that no one had ever seen before rushed over.
Everyone cried out in alarm and scattered like birds and beasts.
In the centre of Calm Wave lake, the water over a hundred meters deep had been forcefully parted, forming a huge pit in the water.
At the very bottom of the pit, Li Qingshan was upside down, having punched Sha Bie on his shell. The turtle shell flashed with light and produced totemic patterns filled with a primitive, simple, and indestructible will.
This was the innate ability that Sha Bie took the greatest pride in. He was not a divine beast like the spirit turtle, but the turtle shell was still a lifebound item of his, something he had developed over a thousand years. He did not hold back with his spiritual qi, pushing his innate ability to the limit.
The only way to kill him was to burst through the turtle shell, but unless he ran out of daemon qi, his shell could not be destroyed. Right now, he had the Water God Seal in his body, so his daemon qi was virtually endless. He was basically undefeatable.
That was unless a Daemon King attacked him and used overwhelming strength to smash apart his shell, but how could a mere Daemon General achieve that?
Crack!
The sound of something breaking rang out, and his back ached. Sha Bie’s eyes bulged out. “Impossible!”
Under Li Qingshan’s punch, the totemic patterns only remained for a split second before twisting and shattering. The indestructible turtle shell caved in and shattered like paper.
And, what if Li Qingshan’s most powerful method of attack was added into the equation too? His fist was pitch-black, wrapped in the power of the Tremors of the Ox Demon. Even the Corpse King had once suffered against this attack, and it had become even more lethal now.
The so-called powerful defence and being in an undefeatable state was no different from a pretence to Li Qingshan.
He directly pierced Sha Bie’s colossal body. The power of tremors tore apart his flesh, shattering his last bit of fighting will.
The mountainous islands on Calm Wave lake obstructed the tsunami-like wave. When it reached the shore, it had already subsided by a lot, but it was still several meters tall. It slammed against the banks.
The power behind that attack had actually made the largest lake in the Ruyi commandery surge, only settling down after a very long time.
The mortals all thought it was the might of the heavens, but even the cultivators cultivating near the lake became dumbstruck as their hearts shook.
In the depths at the centre of the lake, water crashed down like an avalanche, stirring up the sand and grit on the bottom of the lake. The sediment only settled after a very long time.
Li Qingshan shook his right hand viciously. He felt like the bones in his hand were about to break earlier. He said to Sha Bie’s huge head beside him. “Even I can’t really withstand that strike of mine, so do you really think you can still withstand it?”
His words were completely unwarranted. If he had not used his innate ability and immobilised Sha Bie, who would be stupid enough to stay put and try to block it forcefully?
