We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

"What did you say?!"

When Xiaoqing heard Shen Bailian's words, her pupils contracted slightly, and a chill rose from the soles of her feet, rushing straight to her Niwan Palace. She was terrified.

Before Shen Bailian could reply, her figure flickered slightly, instantly transforming into a streak of azure light as she fled into the distance.

"Hey, they don't even let people finish speaking." A soft sigh suddenly rang out in the air.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Bailian's figure vanished, transforming into a raging black light. A howling wind and surging waves swept through, and in less than a second, he arrived in front of the direction Xiao Qing had fled.

After a while.

"We're brothers, are you really going to push my sister and me to the brink for the sake of empty fame?" Xiaoqing looked at Shen Bailian, who stood before her like a mountain, and her anger overcame her fear.

She hated the world for not giving her and her sister a way to survive. She hated the mastermind behind it all, who treated her as a cold and ruthless pawn. She hated her past self even more; if she had cultivated properly back then, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Shen Lian, you forced me to this!" Xiao Qing glared angrily at Shen Bailian in front of her. No matter which direction she fled, Shen Bailian could appear in front of her like a ghost.

Since we can't win by sheer strength, there's only one way left: self-destruction!
"This guy's acting isn't great, but he's overacting a bit, isn't he?" Shen Bailian shrugged as he looked at Xiao Qing, who was full of anger. He thought that Xiao Qing wasn't that scary right now; in fact, she was kind of cute.

This proves the saying: when you are weak, even if you are angry, others will think you are joking.

This is how Shen Bailian sees Xiaoqing now.

However, the next moment, his ears twitched slightly, and his expression changed drastically, because he heard some unusual sounds coming from inside Xiaoqing's body.

Rumbling--

The magical power within Xiaoqing's body surged forth like a river bursting its banks, crashing into her meridians with unstoppable force.

Within her 360 major acupoints, a blue vortex burst open, the reversed meridians causing a gale that blew her hair and clothes fluttering, and extremely rich spiritual energy gushed from her seven orifices.

Countless rays of crimson-gold light burst forth from every pore of his body, every bone emitted a roar like a qilin shattering mountains and rivers, and his skin cracked, the cracks gleaming with a bloody sheen.

At the same time, a spinning demon core appeared and disappeared above her head, becoming clearer and clearer, as if it would appear at any moment.

"Is she planning to self-destruct?" Shen Bailian focused most of his attention on Xiaoqing's state.

The flow of time in his vision slowed down, entering a bullet-time state, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Especially when Shen Bailian saw the faintly visible demon core that Xiaoqing had unleashed, his belief that Xiaoqing wanted to perish together with him became even more certain.

After all, what demon would be so idle as to casually offer up its most important demon core?

For an ordinary demon like Xiaoqing, the demon core is equivalent to a wizard's life box, a situation where their fates are intertwined, one prospers and the other suffers.

Once a demon core is damaged, at best it will destroy one's cultivation, and at worst it will be crushed into ashes by the power of time.

"Sigh, I didn't expect this guy to still be so forgetful and impulsive." Shen Bailian looked at the bomb demon Xiaoqing poised to explode in front of him and sighed helplessly.

Putting aside his relationship with the other party, just considering Xiaoqing's value, Xiaoqing cannot die, at least not now.

As for what happens after he leaves?

That's none of his business.

boom!
Amidst the deafening roar, Xiaoqing watched the figure disappear ahead, his heart suddenly clenching tightly; he had lost sight of that man.

If the man escaped to a faraway place, then her self-destruction would be practically useless.

"I completely forgot about that." Xiaoqing's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately sensed something was wrong. In a moment of impulsiveness, she ruined her plans again.

She said she wanted to perish together with Shen Bailian, but she forgot to trap Shen Bailian.

This mistake shouldn't have happened, but because of her nervousness and carelessness, it led to such a wasted effort.

"Sister, we can only be sisters in the next life." In the dim light, Xiaoqing clearly saw a white streak of light rushing towards her from the direction of the Xuanbing Secret Realm through her divine sense.

"It's just a pity that I messed everything up again this time, and I didn't even have time to say goodbye."

Xiaoqing knew without even guessing who that streak of light belonged to.

It's too late, but it's soon.

All of this confrontation, from Xiaoqing's preparation for self-destruction to Shen Bailian's action, actually took place in less than a fifth of a second.

Sudden.

Alarm bells rang loudly in Xiaoqing's heart, and a chill suddenly surged from her heart. She felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and the chill grew more and more intense, as if something was about to burst out of her body and tear her flesh and blood apart.

"How could a martial artist be so fast?" When Xiaoqing's divine sense swept over Shen Bailian's figure, he had already appeared behind her and suddenly thrust out a finger.

This speed is absolutely terrifying.

If Shen Bailian hadn't made such a big commotion, she wouldn't have been able to pinpoint her location at all.

next moment.

boom!
Under the influence of a pure external force, Xiaoqing was horrified to discover that her body and magical power seemed to have lost control, and that pure external force was rapidly spreading within her body.

Her originally broken meridians began to heal slowly under the nourishment of that special power, much faster than her cultivation and healing methods.

The rapidly spinning vortex of magical power within his body was like an elite infantry unit encountering a heavy cavalry unit led by an unparalleled general. With just one charge, it crumbled and dissipated.

Above Xiaoqing's head, the phantom of the demon core, which had already appeared to the majority of its size, dissipated after losing its supply of magical power.

She returned to her Niwan Palace.

"It's just a talk, it's just that your acting isn't very good, it doesn't have to come to this, does it?" Shen Bailian's murmur exploded in Xiaoqing's ears.

Xiaoqing wanted to say something, but at this moment her body was completely out of control, and she couldn't open her mouth at all. Under the impact of a series of events, her mental energy was in turmoil and she couldn't stabilize herself.

Just then, Bai Suzhen arrived.

"stop!"

A thunderous roar suddenly echoed through the mountains once more, the explosive sound causing ripples in the air, whipping up a gale, and making the leaves rustle.

Awe-inspiring presence in the mountains and forests!

Sensing the rage contained in the voice, all the spirits in the mountains fled into the distance, and even the wild beasts of the forest, driven by their biological instincts, ran for their lives, wishing they had more legs.

The mountains trembled slightly amidst the stampede of beasts, as if an earthquake had occurred, creating a terrifying spectacle. Among these beasts were many monsters with a hundred years of cultivation.

But at this moment, they had no choice but to run for their lives.

Because at this moment, an unusual aura appeared in the sky, with rolling black clouds expanding as the white figure grew larger.

It's a calamity!

It's the aura of a tribulation lightning! Someone is about to undergo a tribulation lightning here!

"Yan~"

A long, resounding cry, like a dragon's roar, suddenly echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Bai Suzhen's body rapidly expanded within the hazy clouds and mist. Her jade-white scales rose and fell with her breath, and her muscles, concealing terrifying power, soared through the clouds and mist.

If you ignore the cracks that are visible everywhere on the scales, it can be called a perfect work of art.

Powerful to a certain degree is equivalent to beautiful!

At this moment, Bai Suzhen's anger had been completely ignited by the impact of this series of events, and it was difficult to extinguish.

She roared, enduring the excruciating pain that tore her body apart. Her gleaming white scales shimmered with a cold light like sharp swords, and her serpentine body seemed to stretch endlessly.

Bai Suzhen knew that if she wanted to change this situation, there was only one option left: to undergo the tribulation of lightning and transform into a dragon!
Although the success rate is very low, she has already lost Xu Xian, and she cannot lose Xiaoqing as well!

I would rather die than regret it!

"Is she about to transform into a dragon?" Although the clouds and mist obscured the view, they did not hinder Shen Bailian's vision. He immediately noticed the two bulges on Bai Suzhen's head.

The head is majestic.

He quickly dismissed the idea of ​​explaining, and felt a little excited, because he had been in this world for so long and had never seen a real dragon.

However, Xiaoqing was stunned by the scene and her breath caught in her throat. Her thoughts were exactly the same as Shen Bailian's, but unlike Shen Bailian's curiosity and excitement, she felt more fear.

Even at her peak, Bai Suzhen was merely a thousand-year-old snake demon with unusual blood, barely reaching the threshold of transforming into a dragon.

The success rate is less than 10%.

Otherwise, Bai Suzhen would have already undergone the tribulation of lightning and transformed into a dragon long ago. Why wait until this extremely critical moment to transform into a dragon? If she forcibly undergoes the tribulation of lightning and transforms into a dragon, she will be completely annihilated if she fails to do so.

Even a trace of true spirit or soul could not be preserved.

"Sister, this is a misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!" Xiaoqing shouted loudly as she looked at Bai Suzhen in front of her. Her voice was piercing and pierced through the sky, reaching Bai Suzhen's ears.

"A misunderstanding?" Bai Suzhen was initially suspicious when she heard this, but she finally understood when she saw that Xiaoqing's expression seemed genuine.

Furthermore, she did not sense any killing intent from Shen Bailian.

"Could this really just be a misunderstanding?" Bai Suzhen pondered to herself, trying to suppress her instinct to transform into a dragon.

However, it was too late to regret it then.

"Boom! Rumble—!"

Thunder roared across the sky, ripples spreading through the air, and blinding lightning stretched across the heavens and earth like a colossal pillar.

It illuminated everything in this world.

"It's over! She's dying before she even gets started. Why is Bai Suzhen trying to transform into a dragon at this time?" The black bear spirit, who was rushing over, suddenly had a sudden inspiration. He stopped and did some calculations, and immediately figured out that Bai Suzhen wanted to transform into a dragon at this moment.

He was shocked. How could such a strange thing happen to a trip that was supposed to be comfortable?
The Black Bear Spirit knew that if Bai Suzhen were to perish in the tribulation of transforming into a dragon, he would be finished, and the blame for the failure of this great calamity would fall on his head.

He was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, not everyone is like the stable boy who can fly 108,000 miles in a single somersault. If he wants to travel this distance of hundreds of thousands of miles, it will take him at least a day and a night.

"Damn it, I was wondering why she was being so generous this time, turns out she dug a pit here..." The black bear spirit's already dark face became even darker.

Now, with hindsight, it thinks back to Guanyin's appearance and feels increasingly uneasy. Why was this good thing given to it instead of Red Boy, who had more power and background?

So they wanted it to take the blame!
It was already dark enough, and its color was almost identical to that of the black pot.

However, this was not actually Guanyin deliberately tricking the black bear spirit, because at this moment, Guanyin, who was hundreds of thousands of miles away, was also stunned when she saw Bai Suzhen transform into a dragon, and her face turned gloomy.

According to their planned storyline, Bai Suzhen should have undergone the tribulation of lightning and transformed into a dragon only after being taken under their command, which was the final stroke of genius.

A happy ending where all parties gain some benefit, except for Fahai.

But this plot, which was originally supposed to unfold in the final scene, is now playing out at this very moment because of the instigation of Shen Bailian, a variable.

This means that the heavenly merit that Guanyin deserved was transferred out of thin air to Shen Bailian, the variable.

He worked hard for most of the day, but in the end, he was just doing all the work for someone else.

And on the side.

At this moment, Red Boy dared not even breathe. Although he did not know exactly what had happened, this was the first time in thousands of years that Guanyin had shown this expression.

Having followed Guanyin for hundreds of years, Red Boy believed he had gained a certain understanding of Guanyin's personality.

It's not the openly honest that's scary, but the smiling tiger. Guanyin is the latter. No matter who or what she's facing, she always appears calm and cheerful.

But in reality?

Those who truly offended Guanyin have long since vanished.

This is a real, extraordinary world, not a game. The struggles between different factions can result in death or even complete annihilation.

The Virgin Mary has long since died.

"Find a way to bring the person who took the place of the one destined for the calamity to Mount Putuo." After pondering for a while, Guanyin sent another message to Yama, the King of Hell.

The content is very simple: have Ox-Head and Horse-Face find an opportunity to entice Shen Bailian's soul.

Make the variable a constant! (End of Chapter)
