Chapter 1653: Untying the Ties
Tu Han, Shan Zezhong and others are still attacking.
King Yao took a deep breath, knowing that they were too far away from him and couldn't come over for a while, so he grabbed the loudspeaker and passed on the message.
Tu Han stopped upon hearing the sound and led his troops to retreat twenty feet away from the Frost Fairy Palace.
The giant snake had been eyeing the goddess Feng He, who pointed at it and said, "Take it back immediately and hand over the inner elixir!"
King Yao's face changed.
Before the army arrived to support the king, this giant monster was his greatest reliance.
The gods had made no secret of their disgust for him.
What if he hands over the inner elixir and the gods and Bai Tan want to take his life again? What should he do then?
This "what if" seems to have a very high probability, he doesn't believe it.
At that time, he didn't even have the ability to protect himself!
After thinking about it, I broke out in a sweat.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, he could only point to the heavens and swear: "Please order Qingyang Baitan to leave the palace, and I will immediately hand over the inner elixir of the pearl! If you break this oath, I will be struck by nine thunderbolts, and my descendants will be crushed to ashes!"
As long as Qingyang Baitan leaves, the urgent problem will be solved immediately.
As expected, the answer came out in one sentence. Goddess Fenghe lowered her eyes and said, "You are not sincere and respectful, so you would bargain. Well, I will take this inner pill myself."
The gods were conversing with the king, and all the officials in the palace were so dazzled that they dared not even breathe.
But at this moment, You Rongzhi had to stammer out a few words:
"Your Majesty, the fourth prince has gone!"
King Yao turned around suddenly and saw Wang Zirui lying on the cushion, his face gray and blue, his chest no longer rising and falling, and his body below the ribs had turned to wood.
The strange disease caused by this magic spread faster and faster throughout the body. Even if the goddess Fenghe stood here, she would not even look at Wang Zirui.
The fourth prince was unable to receive divine healing and eventually passed away.
You Rongzhi turned around and knelt down before King Yao, unable to get up.
Yao Wang closed his eyes and shed two lines of tears. There was only one sentence in his heart:
God wants to kill me.
This "heaven" refers to the god in heaven.
But he was unwilling, indignant, and unconvinced!
He looked at Bai Tan behind the god, who was looking at him with a strange eagerness that reminded him of vultures circling around a dead body.
This person clearly wanted to seize his kingdom! Was he blind? How could he have regarded such a look as enthusiasm and loyalty after so many years?
King Yao closed his eyes, sighed, and handed the inner elixir forward:
"take it!"
Just hearing this sentence, others would think that he finally surrendered to the Goddess Fenghe.
But in fact, he was reaching out to the giant viper!
"In exchange, kill them!"
The goddess Fenghe moved, but the giant snake was standing next to King Yao, and it was so fast that it was faster than lightning.
It didn't even take the inner elixir from King Yao, but grabbed the man and bit off his entire arm with a snap!
Then with a gulp sound, it swallowed up the arm and the elixir together.
The white mist flowing on the ground stagnated slightly, and suddenly flowed clockwise, as if a large whirlpool was about to form.
The giant snake's eyes rolled over and turned into dark red vertical pupils!
The gaze was fierce and sharp, no longer unfocused like before.
Amid the screams of King Yao, it slowly raised its trident and pointed the tip at the Goddess Fenghe.
This action is extremely subjective and provocative.
Previously, when under the control of King Yao, its behavior would not have been so emotional.
In just a few breaths, it looked completely different. If it was just a combat model controlled by King Yao before, now it was alive and truly looked like a killing machine.
Qingyang's expression became more serious. She knew that this meant that the giant snake had regained its self-awareness, or at least regained some of its autonomy.
She really didn't expect that King Yao's trump card would be so strong. This battle was becoming more and more difficult to fight.
King Yao's broken arm was bleeding. He almost fainted from the pain, but miraculously he managed to hold on and screamed, "Kill them all. Kill, kill, kill!"
His eyes were bulging and bloodshot.
So what if the goddess Fenghe descended! He also has the backing of the ancient immortal's external Dharma image!
As long as he kills Qingyang, Baitan, and even the body of the goddess Fenghe, he can still turn the tide and save his empire!
As long as we eliminate the enemy in front of us, tonight's coup will be just a storm, and tomorrow morning, the sun of Yao Kingdom will still rise from the east!
As long as he wins, he only needs to win, and Yao Kingdom will still have a future and will be strong!
The giant viper raised its head and roared, the sound was heard for ten miles.
There were also two silver lights lingering on the tip of the halberd, causing the cold wind to whistle. The giant snake grabbed the halberd and stabbed it heavily into the ground in front of it!
The ground in front of the halberd tip suddenly burst into layers of ice spikes, densely packed like the surface of a cactus. These spikes were four feet high, with the tops sharper than needles, and spread outward like ripples, forming a bloody fan shape.
In just a few short breaths, countless people were pierced by the ice spikes and screams were heard everywhere.
Moreover, the ice spikes attack indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe!
Fortunately, Tu Han's army had already retreated. He saw several temple soldiers in front of him being stabbed to death by ground spikes and the city patrol guards fleeing frantically, and he knew that this battle was no longer something he could participate in, so he made a gesture:
"Retreat, retreat again!"
In fact, Tu Han didn't need to give the order this time. The army turned around and fled on their own, retreating at least a hundred feet, and many guards even slipped away on their own.
They came to serve the king, not to die.
The situation in the Frost Fairy Palace was even worse. Blocked by the courtyard wall, it was difficult for the Bai Tan army to escape.
The ground was stained red with blood. If it weren't for the protection of Yuanli, the casualties here would have doubled.
The power of the giant snake's attack after regaining its freedom was completely different from the previous brutal attack under King Yao's control.
Its aura was completely different, with frost and coldness rising from its body, like a fierce flame. When it glanced at them fiercely, even the temple soldiers were trembling, unable to muster the courage to move forward.
Qingyang, Bai Tan and others hid behind the goddess Fenghe. They did not need to take any action themselves because Fenghe took a step forward towards the ice spike array. The two purple halos appeared again and expanded into a giant ring that surrounded everyone in the middle.
The ice spike array was blocked when it got close and could not penetrate.
When the purple ring disappeared, a dense circle of spikes appeared on the ground two feet away from everyone.
Then the giant snake shook its body, and countless ice crystals shot in all directions.
Dense, fierce and penetrating.
The walls and trees of the Frost Fairy Palace were beaten into sieves.
This indiscriminate attack caused those who were hit to fall to the ground one after another.
Even the demonic birds and eyeball spiders flying in the air dozens of feet away were not spared!
……
He Lingchuan screamed "Ah" and covered his eyes.
Aunt Zhu also wiped her eyes and cursed, "Damn it."
The mirror and the people around: "What's wrong?"
"The eyeball spider was accidentally injured." He Lingchuan was also unhappy. The fight in Yao Palace entered the next stage, and it was a tense and exciting moment, but suddenly the live broadcast was cut off.
Aunt Zhu corrected her immediately: "No, it seems that Goddess Fenghe also noticed me, and she even looked up at the eyeball spider. These gods have extremely sharp spiritual perceptions."
He Lingchuan made a prompt decision, stood up and stretched: "It's too late to watch, let's go. Once the battle in the palace is over, we will be pursued. The next plan is about to begin, and now we have to hurry up to arrange the final clues."
Aunt Zhu hummed and said, "By the way, that giant viper may not be a real Yin viper."
He Lingchuan and everyone else were curious: "Is this true?"
"It doesn't need evil spirit, but it does need frost and cold air. Its fighting style is also different from that of the Yin Viper. Moreover, after it retrieved its inner elixir, its pupils changed to vertical ones!" Aunt Zhu analyzed seriously, "You have been in the Yangshan Islands for so long, have you ever seen a Yin Viper with vertical pupils?"
Everyone thought about it and realized that there really wasn't one. "Then what on earth is this thing, and why is it wearing the shell of a viper?"
Aunt Zhu walked with the others and said, "That could be a Dharma image outside of the body."
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand.
"In ancient times, some great immortals were able to create external forms. Their size, appearance, and shape might be completely different from their original bodies, but they had special powers." Aunt Zhu gave an example. "For example, 'Lingjiao Immortal' is a white deer demon, proficient in magical powers, but its original power is not strong enough - compared with ancient immortals of the same level. Then the 'external form' that Lingjiao Immortal cultivated is a hook-scythe monster, with a terrifying appearance, completely different from a deer, and a hook-scythe can tear through time and space with one blow. Lingjiao can use it to fight and make up for its own shortcomings."
Wang Fubao asked: "Since it is so useful, why don't you cultivate a Dharma image outside your body?"
Aunt Zhu stood up, showed him her graceful figure, and then snorted: "What do you think are the shortcomings of my golden body?"
Its legs were thicker than Wang Fubao's waist, and its leg hairs were sharper than steel needles. Wang Fubao could only smile and say, "No, no more."
The Crypt Spider Queen is indeed a natural killer. She can attack from a distance or at close range, fight in groups or fight alone, hide or charge. If you want to find fault, it may be that she is not fast at swimming. However, other monsters and even humans do not have this talent, and can only make up for their weaknesses through acquired practice. Therefore, refining a Dharma image for yourself is also a good idea.
He Lingchuan deduced in reverse: "That is to say, the original body of this giant viper is probably not good at powerful fighting?"
"Yes, many monsters have this weakness. For example, most bird monsters are relatively lacking in strength. Dong Rui's snail toad was originally a snail, and like a toad, its movement speed is naturally slower." Aunt Zhu corrected him, "Of course, the lack and slowness I mentioned are all relative. In order to make up for the shortcomings, some ancient immortals may have more than one external body Dharma image. The most I have seen is five external body Dharma images!"
As long as the fight starts, he can transform into five Dharma images? The one-on-one fight turned into a group fight.
Everyone thought the scene was so beautiful.
"But there are many limitations to the refining and use of the external Dharma images, and I can't explain them to you all at once." This group of people hadn't reached that level yet, so Aunt Zhu couldn't explain it clearly even if she was full of mouths. "But remember, more is more benefit, and less is more exquisite. Each external Dharma image must be cultivated, so I will inevitably be distracted and my resources will be diluted."
