Chapter 1825 - 1407: Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms Send the Azure Dragon to the East Sea!
Detecting Jiang Dali’s Primordial Spirit fluctuation suddenly transmitted from within the hairpin, Wang Yuyan was at once overjoyed to realize it.
So it turned out that when the village chief previously crushed the tassel of her hairpin, it wasn’t intentional destruction, but him seizing the chance to channel his Primordial Spirit into her hairpin.
This move was clearly made with consideration for her paltry strength, a measure taken to protect her.
But now was naturally not the time to reminisce.
After Jiang Dali used his Primordial Spirit voice to call out to Wan Wan, Wan Wan, Heart-to-Heart with him, needed no words to know exactly what she should do at this moment.
At once, an unprecedented strange radiance burst from her beautiful eyes; with a soft shout, True Qi surged from the Shaoshang, Yujie, and Taiyuan acupoints of her left hand, and in an instant was struck into the Player Xue Qing in her grasp, traversing Xue Qing’s entire body with lightning speed.
"Out-of-body!"
Xue Qing let out an "ah" cry, and a Divine Fragment—grown strong within her from the Demon Seed Wan Wan had planted and hidden in her—instantly shot out, merging in that same moment with the Divine Fragment of Jiang Dali that emerged from Wang Yuyan’s hairpin, abruptly transforming into a misty mass of Will infused with a fierce Spiritual Wave, and charged straight toward the ripples in the distance that were shrouding the Azure Dragon.
The speed of a Primordial Spirit—how inconceivably fast.
Almost at the very instant when the Sword Qi of All Swords Return to the Sect that Wu Ming had released, together with the Dragon Claw, all blasted upon that suddenly cracking point in the Void, the fused spiritual Will of Jiang Dali and Wan Wan’s Divine Fragments arrived as well.
Like a torrential downpour, like thunderbolt and raging gale, the Sword Qi, accompanied by that peerlessly domineering Sword Intent of "none but me," first met together with the four claws extended by the Azure Dragon, and with the suddenly constricting Void rift that radiated a powerful suction like a black hole!
Crack!——
With a heaven-shaking, earth-rending detonation, a blinding radiance erupted at once from midair.
Suspended in midair, Wu Ming immediately sensed a tyrannical and peerless terrifying Will crashing over like a furious sea and raging tide; his whole body spasmed as though struck by thunder, blood poured from his seven orifices, and with a muffled groan he was flung backward, crashing down toward the mountain ravine below.
The Azure Dragon likewise had its four claws spurt blood and let out a miserable howl as it tumbled; great gouts of Dragon Blood poured down like scalding raindrops as if for free, and its massive body was about to be dragged into the ever more chaotic, contracting Void rift.
At this critical instant, the spiritual light-mass formed by Jiang Dali and Wan Wan via their Primordial Spirit Skill flashed into the blinding radiance, colliding with that terrifying Will.
Two heaven-shaking, earth-shattering spiritual Wills clashed, yet did not emit the slightest sound.
The clouds and mist atop the peak in midair suddenly gathered toward the point where the two spiritual forces crossed, then exploded outward with a roar, bursting into a colossal sphere of lightning so intense it could blind all within sight, rending the Void with its force.
Boom!!——
Only then did the deafening, terrifying thunderous roar erupt after the intense light; the tangible spiritual power seemed to affect reality itself, driving the Azure Dragon into frenzied, deranged roaring, and even the crowd separated by several hundred zhang all felt their heads spin and throb, suffering unbearable pain.
Whoosh!——
The misty clouds across the sky, with a speed that thunder itself could not catch, dissipated into nothingness, leaving no trace.
At once, the Void rift within that ripple which had just appeared—as though it led to another space—seemed to have been smoothed over by this flood of Spirit, returning to its original state.
Brilliant golden sunlight emerged from the clouds that had suddenly scattered open, bathing the entire peak below in dazzling light, making it all appear utterly limpid and clear.
In that one moment, time and space seemed to freeze and halt at the level of thought; Jiang Dali felt his Spirit, intellect, experience, and so on, all link and intertwine without being hindered by time or space with the spiritual Wills of Wan Wan, Qin Shi Huang, the Azure Dragon, and the rest.
For a time, an incomparably vast tide of information flooded into his mind; before it could be clearly distinguished, it suddenly exploded.
"Jiang Dali! You deliberately set yourself against Us!?"
Amid his Divine Fragment’s hazy consciousness, a cold shout from Qin Shi Huang resounded within his Spirit, forming the final wave of impact.
Far away above the East Sea, Jiang Dali gave a muffled groan; his stalwart, mighty frame trembled and dropped to one knee, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, soaking into his disheveled hair.
On the other side, Wan Wan also let out a muffled groan as her Spirit suffered grievous damage; yet the greater injury was borne by the Player Xue Qing, whose body directly turned into a streak of white light and vanished on the spot as the Demon Seed within her exploded—she died a violent death.
"Roar!"
The Azure Dragon let out a weak, gasping roar, its four claws bloodstained as it flipped over in midair and plummeted downward.
Just then, the sudden sound of wind and thunder surging burst forth; Yin Zhong, exerting the Dragon God Skill and carrying the Eight Dragon Balls, returned in a rush. With a sudden shout, he thrust out both palms, firing all Eight Dragon Balls like a barrage of cannon shots toward the Azure Dragon.
Strangely enough, the instant the Eight Dragon Balls touched the Azure Dragon, they turned into clusters of incorporeal yet solid Energy, all easily entering the Azure Dragon’s body, causing its rapidly declining Qi-Blood to gradually stabilize.
"Hero Xiao!"
Yin Zhong shouted loudly, "Lend me a hand; let us send the Azure Dragon on a trip to the East Sea together."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng swiftly employed his movement technique, stomping his way over; at the instant he drew within a hundred zhang of the Azure Dragon, he suddenly flipped in a somersault and landed, unfastened the wine gourd at his waist, took a deep draught of fiery liquor, and with a long howl, raised his hands as if gripping something; a surge of Momentum far greater than before erupted from his body!
Left Rush!
Xiao Feng’s hands formed Dragon Claws, his stance a bow; a surging tide of Essence Qi instantly boiled his Qi-Blood.
Right Burst!
Xiao Feng gave a great shout, tiger eyes fixed on the falling Azure Dragon not far away in the air; Essence Qi instantly coursed through all his limbs and bones—boom!!
His Dantian erupted in a flash of dazzling Golden Light, transforming into a spinning phantom Golden Dragon that surged in his abdomen, as if about to burst forth!
The Essence Qi of Dharma’s Muscle Strengthening Scripture, Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, and the recently cultivated Single Dragon Divine Skill fused as one in that instant; using the Destruction of Life and Death that Jiang Dali had taught him, the three powers crashed together in a single moment, and the two strands of domineering, yang-steeped Essence Qi, under the Yin Yang-regulating effect of Dharma’s Muscle Strengthening Scripture, blended together in perfect harmony.
Raised up, roaring down!
"Ha!!"
Xiao Feng’s entire body was shrouded in dazzling Golden Light, a strange power that wasn’t the Destruction of Life and Death, yet surpassed it, swelling violently. The instant it burst forth from between his cupped hands, it shot out like a long-suppressed volcano suddenly erupting.
"Awoo!!"
As a tyrannical, wild dragon roar that shook heaven and earth rang out, a giant dragon formed from condensed, brilliant Golden Light shot straight into the sky.
Wherever it passed, the torn and compressed air formed a clear vacuum corridor, emanating an utterly terrifying oppressive force.
Yin Zhong let out a strange cry in midair and immediately used Dragon God Skill to dodge aside, cursing inwardly whether this brute was trying to beat the Divine Dragon to death or save it.
Boom!—!
The golden pillar of light that shot straight from the ground to the heavens slammed into the Azure Dragon’s enormous body. The blinding Golden Light that exploded out in that one moment stung the eyes of countless onlookers near and far until they teared up.
The Azure Dragon’s entire massive body was as if bathed and wrapped in Golden Light, and its falling momentum abruptly halted in midair.
The Golden Dragon Qi that Xiao Feng unleashed actually didn’t cause it any harm; instead, it stimulated the Eight Dragon Balls within its body as if injecting them with a vast power. They all flared with radiance at once, churning out eight masses of bright yellow light inside the Azure Dragon.
"Go!!!"
Xiao Feng opened his mouth and bellowed. Blood vessels filled his eyes, veins bulged on his forehead, and his hat exploded off his head with a bang under a jet of white smoke-like Qi. The sleeves and Protective Bracelets on both his arms burst apart in succession, revealing thick, sturdy, hair-covered arms.
Boom!!—
The Golden Dragon Qi Column between his two palms surged again with a thunderous roar, slamming fiercely into the Azure Dragon’s body and driving its massive form to rapidly charge toward the East Sea.
"Roar!!"
The Azure Dragon’s dragon pupils, which had been dizzy and muddled, suddenly regained a bit of clarity. It let out a low, hoarse roar, feeling eight currents of power inside supporting its limp body, while from behind a continuous surge of strong force was still being transmitted, pushing it forward.
Suddenly—
The Eight Dragon Balls trembled in unison, birthing eight surging masses of Energy that rampaged through its body, carrying it straight toward the distant East Sea.
In its extremely weakened state, the Azure Dragon was powerless to resist, and out of trust in its Dragon Child and Dragon Descendants, it simply let the power released by the Dragon Balls carry it quickly toward the East Sea.
Under countless stunned gazes, the Golden Dragon Qi that Xiao Feng blasted out, like a rainbow piercing the sun, spanned across the sky, directly pushing the Azure Dragon farther and farther away, before it finally vanished abruptly.
"Damn it!"
"Tch! For real? This is still Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms? That’s basically a Black Dragon Shockwave!"
Player Feng Ruhuo roared in anger and flipped to the ground, but could only watch as the Azure Dragon’s body, left with barely ten percent Qi-Blood, flew off into the distance.
Ting Shui and the other Players landing all around also had ugly expressions on their faces.
The duck that was already in their hands flew away.
Otherwise, once the Azure Dragon was killed, all the investment and sacrifices they had made earlier could have been earned back double in Qin State.
"Huff—"
Xiao Feng let out a long breath, watching as the Azure Dragon, driven by the power of the Eight Dragon Balls, headed straight for the East Sea. A trace of satisfaction flashed in his tiger eyes, and the dragon-shaped Qi between his hands completely dissipated. His whole body was struck by a wave of intense weakness and numbness; he staggered several steps and was quickly supported by Wang Yuyan and the others rushing over from behind.
"Brother Xiao!"
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Feng forced a smile. Feeling the Dantian inside him almost completely drained and empty, even his lips turned a bit pale. He shook his head and rasped, "I’m fine, just overexerted my power a bit. My body’s a little exhausted. A few days’ rest and I’ll be fine."
"Brother Xiao, your Skill in using the Dragon Balls has truly reached the realm of Divine Transformation."
Just then, Yin Zhong leaped over, looking at Xiao Feng with eyes full of appreciation and laughing heartily.
Xiao Feng shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, then his expression suddenly turned solemn as he looked toward the mountain stream not far away. "Senior Wu Ming may already be heavily injured."
Yin Zhong’s smile vanished. As he turned, a strand of Sword Intent appeared, along with a blue-robed figure darting out from within the ravine...
Wu Ming’s hair was disheveled, blood at the corner of his mouth, one hand pressed to his chest as he said in a deep voice, "I’m fine. Lord Yin, please immediately use Dragon God Skill to escort the Divine Dragon to the East Sea. I fear that Qin Shi Huang will make a comeback. Right now, only Master Jiang of Jiang Village is likely able to help the Azure Dragon find a safe place to dwell."
Yin Zhong’s expression turned serious, and he immediately clasped his fists. "Understood!"
With that, his figure flickered. Amid a dragon’s roar, he transformed into a stream of dragon-shaped Energy, sweeping up pebbles, dust, and leaves from the ground as he shot into the air, heading straight for the Azure Dragon...
