Too much fruit

Chapter 714 Chiyou's Flag to Suppress Drought

He transformed his hands into a dragon and captured the drought demon at the critical moment.

Although Hanba has reached the perfection of the third rank, his mind has long been unclear. All his attainments and realms have long been submerged by madness. He only remembers some skills and magical powers that have become instincts.

Jiang Li's counterattack immediately had a miraculous effect. The dragon's body wrapped around the arm, and the dragon's head bit directly on Hanba's shoulder, trying to tear off Hanba's arm.

however--

Can't bite into it.

All the power disappeared when it touched the body of Hanba. At the same time, a burst of fire suddenly erupted and shook the dragon's head away.

Hanba didn't care about his twisted arm, and just used his fire power to pierce the scales with his claws. His other hand, which still had a hideous wound, was already pressing on Jiang Li's chest.

"Oh!"

The fiery force entered his body like a volcanic eruption, sending Jiang Li flying backwards, and five deep bloody marks were left on Hualong's arm.

"Boom!"

He crashed directly into the mountain wall, causing the furnace of heaven and earth to shake and flames to burst out. The stone wall, which was stronger than pure gold, was melting rapidly.

On the other hand, Hanba's arms were also twisted into a bloody mess by the dragon scales. Blood was flowing in both of her arms like lava, but before it could drip, it quickly flowed back into the body as if time was flowing backwards, and even the wounds were completely healed.

In the blink of an eye, Hanba was back to normal.

"Roar!"

The shrill howl was heard again, flames rose into the sky, dyeing the star domain red. The entire furnace of heaven and earth seemed to be melted. The water surface around the Qige Island was boiling, and thick water mist was rising.

The ferocity of the drought demon increased rapidly and violently, its force shook the wind and clouds, sweeping away all the disaster clouds in the sky, allowing rays of starlight to shine down and be projected into the star domain.

"Exposed."

Yu Shi and Gongsun Qingyue, who were guarding Tianxuan, both saw the starlight and murmured in a low voice.

Hanba's birth was stuck at a very critical time, just when Tianxuan was promoted. Sooner or later, Tianxuan could use the external Taoist fruit to fool around, but when she was promoted, her aura would be released without concealment. Anyone with a little knowledge could see that this aura was powerful and stable, unlike the external Taoist fruit which was a bit superficial.

By tomorrow at the latest, the news of Tianxuan's promotion will spread to every corner of the world.

“It’s exposed.”

Jiang Li stood up from the mountain wall that had turned into lava, and felt his cover being blown away. He shook his head helplessly, "It's a drought demon after all."

Even if she was insane and only had instincts, she was still at the third level. If she had not lost her mind and her realm was still there, the late leader of the Taiping Sect would definitely not be her opponent. Hanba might not be as good as the strongest in his heyday, but he was definitely the top powerhouse among the third level.

Jiang Li thought that he had enough power to deal with Zhang Zhixuan now. Even if Zhang Zhixuan was not hit by the Queen Immortal, if he faced the third-grade perfect Hanba in his prime, the outcome would still be unknown.

Fortunately, this drought demon has gone crazy.

The right hand transformed into its original form, with five dark red scars spanning most of the arm. The flesh and blood were burnt, emitting a meaty smell, and a dark red palm print also appeared on the chest.

The blazing flames were about to invade his meridians, but unexpectedly, Jiang Li's body spontaneously changed the next moment and absorbed the blazing flames instead.

"Qi Fen" itself is a practice based on the virtue of fire, and Jiang Li has also cultivated the three elements into one, the source of Qi body. Although the fire power of Hanba is overbearing, it is not so strong that Jiang Li cannot deal with it.

The flame energy was absorbed and the body recovered quickly. Judging from the speed, it was not slower than the recovery of Hanba's injuries before.

"After a year of peaceful cultivation, I have somewhat underestimated the Third Rank."

As Jiang Li spoke, he covered himself with silver armor and stretched out his hand. The three-pointed double-edged sword returned and floated together with the Sky-shooting Bow, the Death-killing Spear, and the Life-breaking Spear. "Fortunately, I didn't use my full strength."

Previously, apart from fighting with Hanba, he had also been maintaining the cover-up of the starlight. Now that Tianxuan's promotion phenomenon has been exposed, it has allowed Jiang Li to attack with all his strength.

Moreover, some difficult-to-use methods can be used.

As he thought of this, the star domain above him suddenly expanded, replacing the sky and turning the day into a starry sky.

Now that it has been exposed, Tianxuan no longer restrained himself. All one could see were stars in the sky and a bright moon in the sky, an image of the moon being surrounded by all the stars.

And when the vast star energy filled the vast sky, the violent fluctuations within the furnace of heaven and earth were also covered up by it.

Previously, it was Jiang Li who covered for Tian Xuan, but now the situation is reversed and it is Tian Xuan who covers for Jiang Li.

When the star domains spread across the sky, rolling evil turbidity gathered towards Jiang Li from all directions, and a spiritual idea was generated, and the clear and turbid coexisted at the same time. The strange vision made Hanba temporarily stop moving forward, and she instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"The ocher whip blesses and transforms the mind into something else."

The ochre whip enhanced the magical power of Zhuang Zhou's Dao Fruit, raising [Materialization outside the Mind] to the fourth level. The large circular sword emerged from the body, and as Jiang Li's thoughts changed, a large red flag suddenly appeared.

He used [Mind Transformation] to simulate Chi You's flag and merged it into the Great Circular Sword. The four soldiers of the God of War all moved at the same time and flew into the big flag, like a blood-stained evil spirit erupting, forming a star-like phantom.

Chi You's five weapons of the military god are not only used to kill people on earth, but after being combined into one, they can also transform into stars, move across the sky, make the sky murderous, and cause ultimate extinction. It can be said that they are the combination of both heaven and man.

That is why there are records in ancient books that Huangdi met Chiyou and understood the Way of Heaven.

At this time, Jiang Li used his own power to transform into Chi You's flag and combined the five weapons of the God of War according to what he had seen before. Naturally, he was far inferior to Chi You, and only transformed into a star phantom. But even so, he still felt an incomparable burden, his long hair flying, and his whole body seemed to be about to explode.

"go with!"

He pointed his finger, and Chiyou's flag fell. The red light was like a comet, leaving a long flame tail, like a big red flag waving in the air. It was like the movement of the heavens, unstoppable, like a comet hitting the earth, difficult to avoid.

"Roar!"

The drought demon roared, stood on the scorched earth and faced the sky. Its pair of ghost-claw-like hands released fiery energy that could burn the sky and destroy the earth, and it took the bombardment of the big star head-on.

"boom!"

When the two met, unparalleled fire energy exploded, and the force of the falling star was transformed into a rolling hot current, which was then blasted towards the big star with the palms of Hanba.

This Hanba was actually able to transform pure strength into heat and fire energy and use it for her own benefit. No wonder Jiang Li was completely unable to do anything to her when he transformed his hand into a dragon before.

However, the gods of heaven used their power of destruction to the utmost, and even the magical power of Hanba could not melt it.

The big star seemed to have infinite stamina, and the mighty energy continued to flow into it, causing the starlight to expand and suddenly press down. "Bang——"

The scorched earth collapsed, and violent underground fire gushed out from underground, turning the drought demon into a fire man and burning the furnace of heaven and earth red.

The ground was rising, causing Ding Lake to ripple. If one looked from the outside, one could see that the height of the entire Qige Island was rising, and the extreme heat was evaporating the lake water, turning the area within a radius of hundreds of miles into a foggy swamp.

The two elders stationed at the sect had already discovered the abnormality and rushed over, only to see the earth shaking and the island rising continuously. In a blink of an eye, it had risen dozens of feet. The rolling heat and abundant energy made it difficult for them to approach for a while.

Inside the furnace of heaven and earth, the rock wall had already melted. Hanba held up the sky with both hands to fight against the big star. The energy and flames exploded and swept in all directions. Countless pieces of rock flew into the air and were melted by the flames.

The rock that had been wrapping around the outside of the Xuan-Yuan Sword continued to crack and melt, and the magma flowed, revealing the golden sword body inside.

Except for the Xuanyuan Sword, everything was destroyed by the aftermath. The Heaven and Earth Furnace that the Dinghu Sect had used for hundreds of years was melting and disintegrating, and waves of energy poured into Hanba's body.

The flag of Chi You has infinite power, but Hanba can also use [Thousands of Miles of Red Earth] to extract the earth's energy and fire. As time goes by, the fire energy erupts heavily. Hanba roars, and stubbornly holds up the flag of Chi You.

but--

"The sky is falling, the universe is falling."

A long sigh was heard, and behind the flag of Chi You, a huge and majestic giant god appeared. He pressed down with one palm, and the space twisted and collapsed towards his palm.

The evil between heaven and earth was transforming into vital energy. As Jiang Li moved, a black and white Tai Chi appeared in the palm of his giant hand. As it moved, a black hole-like vortex drew Chiyou's flag and Hanba into it, causing them to collapse and rush towards his palm.

"Roar!"

The drought demon danced and howled in the whirlpool, struggling madly. The violent flames hit the whirlpool, causing it to expand and compress from time to time. But at the same time, the flag of Chiyou swallowed up the drought demon, and the four soldiers of the god of war and the gods of heaven suppressed it. Moreover, unpredictable auras transformed into butterflies that seemed real and unreal, reflecting in the eyes of the drought demon.

The mysterious divine will invaded his mind, and the four soldiers of the God of War suppressed it heavily. Under the internal and external attacks, the crazy figure of Hanba gradually solidified inside the big star, like an insect trapped in amber, frozen in a frantic yet calm posture.

"Successfully sealed off."

Jiang Li, who was performing the magic of heaven and earth, held the illusory big star in his hand, looked at the figure in his palm, and let out a sigh of relief.

Using the four military weapons of the God of War to replace the Xuanyuan Sword to seal it was one of the escape routes that had been thought of long ago. Jiang Li did not expect that Hanba would escape in this way, but the result of Hanba escaping was still within his expectations.

And when Hanba was transferred to another seal, Yinglong Daoguo no longer needed to be used to balance Hanba.

But in this way, it would be impossible to help Master Yu get promoted.

In Jiang Li and Tian Xuan's original plan, if there was no accident with Hanba, they would release it after everything was prepared, with Jiang Li and Tian Xuan as assistants, allowing Yu Shi Yuanjun to fight Hanba.

Although Hanba is a perfect third-grade power, her mind is insane. If she can be lifted off the ground and placed in the realm of stars, and if Yu Shi can perform Yinglong Transformation which is incompatible with Hanba, it is not impossible to succeed.

But things in the world are not always as we wish, and this plan failed before it was even implemented.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li could only make other plans.

He raised his head and looked upwards, and saw that the magic domain in the sky had gradually separated from the furnace of heaven and earth. A bright moon rose slowly and leaped into the starry sky. The broad aura spread far and wide, permeating between heaven and earth. A graceful figure appeared in the bright moon.

Wearing stars as robe and the bright moon as crown, he is none other than Tianxuan who has been promoted to the third rank, Dou Mu Yuanjun.

I saw that Dou Mu was using the bright moon as the pivot, twisting the stars in the sky. Under the pull of the invisible gravity, the turbulent Dinghu Lake gradually calmed down. The star energy spread in all directions, dispersing the flames and turning water mist into rain, which then fell into Dinghu Lake.

At the same time, a solemn voice spread throughout the sect:
"The drought demon has been unsealed and has been suppressed again. Elders, maintain the order of the sect and rescue the injured."

······
······
"It seems that there is no need for me to take action."

On a mountain five hundred miles away, the sword light slowly retracted and merged into a long sword with a sheath.

The Taoist held the sword, and the sword force on his body dissipated, turning into a breeze, which swept up a few blades of grass at his feet. The blades of grass were like sharp blades, sweeping across nearly ten large trees, splitting the trunks in two and causing the branches and leaves to sway and fall to the ground.

"The sword energy of the True Lord is more majestic than before. I never thought that in just one year, the True Lord's power would have changed so much."

A yellow light appeared behind the Taoist priest, and a misty sky appeared. A boat-shaped vertical eye opened inside, and looking at this scene, it sighed softly, "The Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Secret is worthy of being the miraculous achievement created by the Taoist priest."

"If you are curious, you can give it a try." The Taoist said lightly.

"It's still free."

In the vertical eye, a figure of uncertain reality appeared, and he laughed when he heard the voice: "Even if I get this technique, I can't practice it, and it may attract the Taoist Lord. Even now, I am still quite afraid of [Tao Ruling the World]."

The implication is, of course, that if one wants to take it by force, it is entirely possible.

The Taoist's eyes turned slightly cold, and a sword energy appeared out of thin air, slashing towards the sky, but was blocked by a beam of fire.

The sword energy melted instantly when it touched the flames. The fiery energy and strange method revealed at that moment made the Taoist feel chilled.

"The Air Grave... and the breath of the Earth's True Fire. Did he just go deep into the Earth's core?"

Taking note of it silently in his heart, Master Taibai remained calm and said, "It seems that you benefited a lot from the battle a year ago."

"Something gained."

Tianjun chuckled and said, "It's not a big improvement. After all, we have almost reached our limit. If we want to go further, we can only be promoted."

As he spoke, he looked straight up at the distant starry sky, as if he could see the scenery of Dinghu Lake.

"It's a bit unexpected. I thought Hanba could cause a bigger commotion." He was a little surprised, but had no regrets. "The changes in the strength of Junior Sister Tianxuan and my nephew seem to be extraordinary. But in this case, a war must be fought, using Tianxuan's promotion as an opportunity..."

Tianxuan was promoted to the third rank, and Hanba was suppressed. These two events were enough to serve as a wake-up call, making all the forbearing parties realize the threat.

If you keep enduring, you'll really become a coward.

"Seeing that the enemy is getting stronger and stronger, Fairy Queen, can you still hold back?"

He thought of the provocation a year ago.

That time, the Queen ignored his provocation and chose to wait. Can she still wait this time?

There is a difference between having a slim chance and having no chance at all. The Queen had a chance before, but if she waited any longer, her enemies would become powerful enough to eliminate this already slim chance.
