Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 601-Chapter 700)

However, he definitely did not choose close combat because he had lost his sense of rationality after releasing the beast soul. He growled, “Jia Zhen, forget about the formations. Kill this wretched daemon first!

The mud at the bottom of the lake suddenly began to rumble. Stone giants stood up from the soil at the bottom of the lake. Every single one of them was around twenty to twenty-five meters tall. They seemed like children beside Li Qingshan’s figure that stood over sixty meters tall, but every single one of them was filled with strength. They grabbed Li Qingshan’s hands and feet and tugged hard.

After completely releasing the beast soul, E Dan’s strength had already become alarmingly great. He was only overwhelmed because he had matched up against a monster like Li Qingshan. Now that he had the assistance of the stone giants, he immediately turned the tables and gained the upper hand.

Li Qingshan’s body shuddered as he unleashed the power of tremors, shaking the stone giants to pieces, but in the blink of an eye, even more of them emerged as if they were endless. However, his daemon qi was not endless, so if this continued, he would definitely be the first to give way.

This was obviously Jia Zhen’s handiwork. As he watched the battle in the water, even he was surprised. This was the first time he had ever seen E Dan lose the upper hand in close combat, forcing him to rely on external assistance.

The daemon had to be eliminated!

He waved the feather fan again and again, unleashing various techniques. With each wave, E Dan would grow a bit stronger, becoming even more powerful. A defensive light enveloped him, such that even his wounds rapidly healed.

He had not sent out a single ranged spiritual artifact or arcane artifact the entire time either. He only waved the feather fan around in his hand, but it seemed like a piece of cake for him to use techniques of the five elements. All of them were startlingly powerful, so even Li Qingshan could not afford to underestimate them.

Li Qingshan had already left many people surprised when he wielded five arcane artifacts at the same time at Foundation Establishment, but at peak Golden Core, Jia Zhen wielded twice as many arcane artifacts as him. His hands were adorned with rings, a necklace hung around his neck, a pouch of fragrance hung from his waist, and he was dressed in special robes. There were a total of ten arcane artifacts, where none of them were below mid grade. The feather fan in his hand was even a priceless supreme grade arcane artifact.

However, none of these arcane artifacts could directly attack the opponent like flying swords. They all strengthened his techniques and recovery rate. He was the exact opposite of E Dan, who did not rely on any external items. Jia Zhen pushed the specialty of human cultivators to the limit.

Li Qingshan frowned. Sitting there and waiting for his doom had never suited him. With a violent wriggle, E Dan immediately struggled to keep him at bay. He called out at Jia Zhen, “Stop treasuring those talismans of yours!”

“I’ll obviously use them when I need to!” As Jia Zhen spoke, he tossed out a violet talisman, which stuck to E Dan’s back.

E Dan erupted with golden light, condensing the avatar of a guardian king around him. It was a Strength Talisman of the Guardian Kings that Li Qingshan had not seen in a very long time, but who knew how many times more powerful the violet talisman was compared to that yellow talisman of the past.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind Jia Zhen, vaguely resembling Ye Mingzhu. However, it was completely pitch-black, without any facial features. It gripped a dagger-shaped cluster of darkness in its hand, plunging it towards Jia Zhen’s back!

Who knew how many battles Jia Zhen had been through in his life, so how could he fall to a sneak attack defencelessly? In that moment, at least five layers of defensive light appeared around him, both from his defensive arcane artifacts as well as defensive techniques he had cast. Even Li Qingshan probably could not smash through them with a single punch.

However, the dagger made from shadows passed through the numerous layers of defences silently, making Jia Zhen shiver inside. He wanted to dodge, but he was a step too slow. He felt his back ache as the black dagger pierced his heart.

With a plop, Jia Zhen turned into a cluster of water and dispersed after being stabbed. His original body shifted over thirty meters away, gazing at the shadow as he recovered from the shock. He became both surprised and furious. He had almost messed up a simple task, almost dying to a mysterious assassination.

The path of assassination had always been about striking when the enemy was unprepared and defeating the strong despite being the weak.

On the black altar, Ye Mingzhu, who had originally been dancing about madly, had stopped as if she had lost control over her body. Right now, all of her consciousness had been drawn away from her body, channelled into the dark shadow.

She was filled with endless delight as if she wanted to merge with the sweet curtain of night. If she possessed this power, just where couldn’t she go? However, she also understood this power did not belong to her, and it could not be maintained for too long.

However, her chances at overcoming the second heavenly tribulation had increased drastically with this experience. She had heard how a pill called the Origin Spirit pill existed in the world. If she could obtain one, then she would have a very good chance at undergoing the second heavenly tribulation and stepping into a brand-new realm of cultivation.

“Come, lightning!”

Jia Zhen pointed his feather fan at the sky furiously, and the lightning roared down.

Ye Mingzhu dismissed her thoughts. The shadow merged into the darkness once more, waiting for her opportunity to strike.

Jia Zhen glanced around cautiously, unable to cast techniques recklessly like before anymore. Li Qingshan immediately felt like a great burden had been lifted from his shoulders. If this half-human, half-wolf thing could stay a little further away from him, it would be even better.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the lake, the wolf-man E Dan, enveloped in a guardian king’s avatar, waved his fists madly and struck Li Qingshan. Every single punch could smash open mountains. Even with Li Qingshan’s powerful body and tough hide, E Dan managed to smash his organs into pieces.

Li Qingshan opened his mouth and spat out, but he did not spit out blood, but a ball of flames. “Let’s go see the stars together!” He grabbed E Dan’s shoulders with a great laugh and suddenly unfurled his gorgeous wings, rushing into the air with E Dan.

The starlight scattered quietly on the sea of clouds. There was no rain there, only flickering lightning. The sound of thunder boomed out from the clouds.

Suddenly, the cloud layer erupted, and two colossal figures burst out of the sea of clouds, breaking the silence.

“There’s finally no one to disturb us anymore. Let’s have a good conversation!”

Li Qingshan planted his fist in E Dan’s face, and the guardian king avatar became riddled with cracks. E Dan tilted his face back and flew away. At the same time, he stomped down on Li Qingshan’s chest forcefully, producing a creaking of bones.

When they parted, E Dan immediately opened his huge mouth and let out a wolf howl, while Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath and unleashed a tiger roar.

The two sounds basically rang out at the same time, criss-crossing and colliding mid-air.

Boom!

The thick clouds parted, forming a great hole. It was possible to make out Moon Court lake that had become very small from there.

The light from the stars and the moon used the opening to sprinkle down on the lake pouring with rain.

Ye Liubo raised her head. She was in a state of utter joy. “I knew it. Master would never die. Master would never lose.”



Ye Liusu nodded. “Focus. Let’s use our Night Roaming God to assist him!”

“Alright!”
