Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 701-Chapter 833)

From the ruined city and the dwellings on the cliff sides, streaks of light flew out one after another, fleeing in all directions.

They were the remaining demonic cultivators of the Lair of Demons. Originally, they still held onto their hopes that the cave masters could take down Li Qingshan, but never did they think that in the blink of an eye, three of the five cave masters would be dead. Even the strongest among the five, the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber, had fled, and it seemed like he had failed to escape.

Only now did they suddenly realise that the Hawkwolf Guard was their great enemy. The newly-appointed White Hawk commander was not trying to join the Lair of Demons at all. He had clearly come to eradicate the Lair of Demons. His various actions earlier were clearly just to lure the cave masters off the mountain so that he could kill them.

They did not blame the cave masters for being careless. Despite being in Savage mountain, they actually could not even flee back to the central peak.

Now that the tree had fallen, the monkeys were scattering. All they could do was take flight in the face of disaster. Fortunately, not a lot of people remained. All of the people who possessed dwellings on the mountain or managed to survive Li Qingshan’s stomp were masters that had undergone the first heavenly tribulation. They turned into over a hundred streaks of lights and took off. No matter how powerful Li Qingshan was, his arms would be too full to take care of all of them. He would be doing well if he managed to kill twenty or thirty of them.

The streak of scarlet light that rose up first moved extremely quickly. It was like a meteor, reaching the top of the mountain in the blink of an eye. Clearly, he was very confident in his escape technique, which was why he took the first move!

Right when he was about to escape from Savage mountain, a huge claw of bone suddenly extended out from the top of the mountain, grabbing the scarlet streak of light and revealing a demonic cultivator. Before he could even plead or put his life on the line, the claw closed together like it was crushing a firefly. The light vanished, and the mangled corpse was thrown into a toothy mouth, reduced to roaring flames.

A prayer bead vanished from Xiao An’s hand—the Skull Prayer Beads!

A huge, ferocious Skeleton Demon emerged from the mountain peak, its jaw clacking about as it let out a strange cackle.



The laughter rose up from everywhere at the same time, echoing through the entire valley. It was a song of death that filled all the demonic cultivators with fear.

Skeleton Demons climbed out from the top of the mountain. There was even one that guarded the entrance of the valley, completely surrounding Savage mountain.

Li Qingshan could vaguely recall they each possessed the strength to rival a Corpse Commander. After Xiao An underwent the second heavenly tribulation, they seemed to grow as well, becoming even larger and more powerful.

Under Xiao An’s command, they were like a troop of super soldiers, cooperating perfectly and maneuvering about freely. They sealed off all paths of escape, smacking and crushing the streaks of light like they were catching flies. Not a single streak of light managed to escape.

“Fighting alongside you still brings me the most peace of mind!”

The phoenix cried!

Li Qingshan pulled his gaze away. The phoenix wings blazed with fire and extended to several dozen meters wide.

With a flap of his wings, the flames of the phoenix incinerated the cloud of insects.

Only one black insect remained, turning into a black blur, flying away without any regard. Three hundred meters, thirty meters, fifty meters… It only needed another moment, and it would be able to escape.

But it came to a halt!

Li Qingshan caught the black insect between his right thumb and index. With a gentle squeeze, the black insect exploded.

The fifth cave master of the Lair of Demons, Mountain Insect, was dead!

Right now, Li Qingshan was wrapped in flames. Even his head full of scarlet hair had risen up like a burning ball of flames.

He completely turned into a glorious phoenix that burned majestically, possessing an unparalleled aura of nobility. He also incinerated away the residual poison in his body.

Originally, while his body was tough, he was not immune to poison. He only had a slightly stronger resistance at most. In the past, Spider Queen Lolth’s venom had made him suffer quite a bit. Even the spirit turtle could only purify it after quite some effort. The spirit turtle was extremely effective at suppressing auras and his sea of consciousness, but it was much worse at suppressing poison.

However, after reaching the first layer of the Phoenix’s Scripture of Nirvā?a and undergoing nirvā?a rebirth once, he made up for this shortcoming. Not only could the endless flames heal his wounds, but it could also avert disasters and eliminate the factors that tried to kill him.

The death represented by poison still could not contend against the life represented by the phoenix!

Although he could not claim he was invulnerable to poison, some poison from a measly Wei of the Poison could not harm him. Otherwise, with his courage and caution, he would never take that risk.

Although he was still a very long distance away from beyond the Nine Heavens, although he had yet to complete any one of the transformations of the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, he could be described as accomplishing something with his divine arts in this World of the Nine Provinces!

The battle and slaughter of the ox demon and tiger demon made his body tougher and tougher and his will firmer and firmer. The suppression and recovery of the spirit turtle and the phoenix made his aura more and more pure and his mind clearer and clearer. They supplemented each other, forming a perfect union, which was the current Li Qingshan.

“Qingshan, there’s one more!”

Xiao An shook the Blood Sea Banner, and the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber flew out, smashing towards Li Qingshan as a mountain of flesh.

After undergoing the second heavenly tribulation and condensing a White Bone ?arīra, her arcane treasures had grown stronger and become even more flexible, but she had yet to further refine them, so it was very difficult for her to trap a cultivator like the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber for long periods of time.

Of course, once she drew the Budda Slaying sword, killing him was nothing difficult, but she naturally had to leave something like that for Li Qingshan to enjoy.

The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber smashed around blindly in the sea of blood. He never expected her to actually possess an arcane treasure with its own independent space. Right as he deliberated over how to get out, the surroundings suddenly lit up again. Suddenly, he saw a flawlessly handsome man with scarlet hair and eyes smiling at him.



“Alright!”

Li Qingshan smiled. By now, “Li Qingshan” had been completely hidden away already. His curved horns were carved with the name of Northmoon. That was the declaration he had intentionally left behind.

He threw his fist once again!

This was his strongest weapon. With a fist thrown, he swept away all obstacles!

“Li Qingshan!? Alright, alright, alright! If you want to kill me, then I’ll throw my life at you! I refuse to believe you also have a spatial arcane treasure!”

The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber was surprised at first, but he made up his mind soon afterwards and went from being a mountain of flesh to a ball of flesh. He spun away at high speeds, kicking up a tornado and smashing towards Li Qingshan.

Boom!

The ball of flesh collided with Li Qingshan. All of the rock and soil within five kilometers of them immediately left the ground, flying into the air. Even Savage mountain shook!
