Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 169 The Grassroot God's Physical Body is Powerful, He Seizes the Array Plate and Explodes with Boiling Blood.
Liu Qing secretly urged the incense clone to hurry over through the connection with it, having just tried to use the imperial edict to request help from Yuan Datou nearby.

But Yuan Datou did not react. Looking around, the turbulent waves were raging here, while the outside was calm. It seemed that the Three Talents Water Formation had isolated this space, preventing Bao Gao's distress signal from being transmitted.

After the battle, Liu Qing sensed something was wrong.

Leaving aside the powerful, brute-forced, and battle-hardened grass-headed water buffalo demon, the Phoenix Mountain God, whom Liu Qing and Shui'er fought together, was also a formidable opponent.

Although it is an eighth-rank incense deity, and is in water where it lacks geographical advantages, its supernatural powers and magic are not diminished much.
Furthermore, before achieving enlightenment, this fellow was a sparrow demon, skilled in flight; after becoming a god, his speed was also extremely fast.

Faced with the combined attack of Liu Qing and Shui'er, it immediately transformed its human form into the true form of a sparrow, gliding and flying within the formation, changing direction rapidly from near to far, making it very cunning in battle.

The mountain god of Phoenix Mountain is a sparrow, a manifestation of incense offerings. It is not hindered by the river, and can glide and fly short distances in the water.

He had thought he could quickly subdue the Phoenix Mountain God, then capture the Water Goddess, and break free of the formation. Unfortunately, the old sparrow seemed to have guessed Liu Qing's intentions.
He kept fighting, his incense and divine power surging, throwing spells from afar, which gave Liu Qing a real headache.

The Yang spirit within him shook the Yin Jade Spirit Banner, and the Jing River Old Dragon and Dragon Granny, along with the remnant souls of their children, and the cawing demon lord, also led a flock of geese and ducks as Yin spirits, all rushed towards the Phoenix Mountain God.

While Shui'er unleashed her water magic attack from below, Liu Qing activated his River-Walking Boots, significantly increasing his speed as he closely followed the Phoenix Mountain God, conjuring up streams of water thunder in his hands and unleashing them.

Trapped within the Three Talents Water Formation, surrounded by rivers, Liu Qing's fire wings were unable to be used effectively; otherwise, the Phoenix Mountain God wouldn't have been so arrogant.
Liu Qing's outburst greatly increased the pressure on the Phoenix Mountain God. Facing the water mines Liu Qing unleashed, the mountain god's expression turned solemn. With a wave of his hand, he conjured a feather fan from who-knows-where, its surface shimmering with spiritual light—a top-grade magical artifact.

The feather fan was a dark gray color, perhaps crafted from the user's own feathers. As it was fanned up and down, divine power transformed into wind, actually sending Liu Qing's water thunder flying backward.

As for the Jinghe Old Dragon, the remnant dragon spirits, yin gods and demons brought by the Gaga Demon Lord were blocked by the yin soldiers under its command summoned from the Mountain God Token.

Enraged, Liu Qing opened his mouth and unleashed his supernatural power, Yin Wind, sending a black gust of wind towards the Phoenix Mountain God.
The Phoenix Mountain God continued to fan himself with his top-grade magical feather fan, sending the Yin Wind flying backwards. Liu Qing then summoned water puppets to try and entangle and bind it, but its body instantly transformed from solid to ethereal, breaking free from the encirclement of the water puppets.
"Kid, you're getting addicted to fighting? You think you're some kind of supernatural being?"

The mountain god of Phoenix Mountain pointed to the bottom of the water, and instantly a rumbling sound came from the bottom of the water. The silt was condensed into earth spikes by divine power and shot towards Liu Qing.

Liu Qing pushed his river-walking boots to their limit, his figure shifting rapidly as he dodged each attack.

Liu Qing suddenly said, "The Goddess of Good Water is not taking action herself, but letting you take the lead. She is clearly preparing to make us both suffer heavy losses so that she can reap the benefits."

Liu Qing activated this phrase using his innate demonic language. At the same time, he unleashed the supernatural power of Spirit Binding. Although this supernatural power, the Incense Avatar, was even more powerful, capable of transforming divine power into chains to bind spirits,
However, the spirit-binding chains that Liu Qing created with demonic energy also bound the Phoenix Mountain god, although he wasn't actually bound by them.

However, when it unleashed its divine power to break free, it also delayed its progress by a moment.

Liu Qing had been waiting for this moment. His boots gleamed with light as he stepped forward, and before anyone knew it, he had grabbed the Ruyi Double-Eared Incense Burner and smashed it down on Liu Qing's head.

Even though the Gaga Demon Lord had been stripped of its intelligence, it couldn't help but look over when the Ruyi Double-Eared Furnace came out, as if reminiscing about its glory days when it used it to smash people.

"Old sparrow, go to hell!"

The mountain god of Phoenix Mountain's expression changed drastically. His form shifted, and it was too late to alter his appearance; he flapped his wings, preparing to fly away.

Unexpectedly, the Ruyi double-eared stove also grew larger, still covering it. Helpless, it had no choice but to withstand the iron pot.

thump—

The Ruyi Double-Eared Incense Burner slammed solidly onto the head of the Phoenix Mountain God, causing its divine power to surge and its mind to become dazed. Upon seeing this...

How could Liu Qing let go of the opportunity to kick a dog when it was down? He swung his tongue, spewing out his innate demonic words to bewitch it into turning against him, or at least to sway its heart.

The mountain god of Phoenix Mountain reacted more and more slowly, as Liu Qing smashed iron pots on its head one after another, and the demonic energy formed binding chains that coiled around it, encroaching on its divine authority.

The Phoenix Mountain God was thrown into a state of mental confusion and loss of control by Liu Qing's series of attacks. His internal divine power was in disarray, leaving him almost powerless to fight back.
The final killing move arrived: Liu Qing ordered the Gaga Demon Lord to lead a group of lesser, remnant demon souls to hold off the Yin soldiers of the Phoenix Mountain God.

The strongest Jinghe Old Dragon and Dragon Granny were summoned. The two dragons, one above and one below, bit the head and feet of the Phoenix Mountain God, desperately pulling him towards the Yin Jade Spirit Banner.

Once inside the Yin Jade Spirit Banner, the old sparrow was utterly lifeless. The Yin Jade Spirit Banner is specifically designed to subdue ghosts and spirits.

The Goddess of Benevolence, who was originally presiding over the Three Powers Formation, saw the Phoenix Mountain God fall into danger and cursed him as a useless piece of trash.
However, she had no choice but to intervene. Incense-like divine power emanated from her fingertips as she repeatedly tapped the top-grade magical artifact array plate.
The next moment, Liu Qing felt the cold of the sun and moon, and was in excruciating pain. As the stars shifted, the scenery before him changed rapidly. When he regained consciousness, the Phoenix Mountain God was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn, this kid's skills are amazing, his supernatural powers and spells are all extraordinary, he almost gave me a big scare!"

"How can someone at the mere Refining Void and Integrating Dao realm be so formidable that I can't do anything to him? It's truly unbelievable!"

The mountain god of Phoenix Mountain appeared on the other side, looking at Liu Qing with lingering fear.

Liu Qing watched expressionlessly, but in his mind he was quickly calculating that if he wanted to win, he had to break the Three Talents Water Formation first, otherwise, today would probably not end well.

Although the Three Talents Water Formation is recorded in the East Sea Formation Classics passed down by Hong Gu, the time has been too short, and Liu Qing has not yet comprehended it. It seems that the path of using formations to break formations cannot be achieved in the short term.
Just then, a sudden tremor ran through him; a message came from his incense-burning clone that they had arrived.

It is said that there is a huge cloud of water mist on the river surface, which is constantly churning. Perhaps it is the manifestation of the Three Talents Water Formation.

The incense clone arrived and found the Three Talents Water Formation where he and Hong Gu were trapped. Liu Qing was secretly delighted and told the incense clone to quickly inform General Fubo, Yuan Datou.
Then, without alerting the Goddess of Good Water, hide yourself and wait for her signal. When the time comes, work together from the inside and outside to break the Three Talents Water Formation in one fell swoop.

Upon receiving the message, the incense-burning clone recited the sacred proclamation to summon General Fubo Yuan Datou. The two hid in the water, waiting for Liu Qing's signal.

Liu Qing suddenly activated the Thousand Rivers and Ten Thousand Waters Banner with all his might, stirring up the silt from the riverbed and mixing it into the river flow, thus muddying the water within the Three Talents Water Array space.

Then, the Boiling Blood talent was activated, and instantly, he felt the demonic blood surging within his body, extremely hot, like erupting volcanic lava.

Since awakening the Boiling Blood talent and raising its growth rate to the maximum, this is the first time Liu Qing has activated this talent.

Liu Qing's eyes burned like fire, and his nostrils snorted hot air, causing the surrounding river water to steam and rise into mist. The aura emanating from his body surged, and in just a few breaths, his cultivation level climbed to the early stage of the Divine Power Realm, doubling in size.

The sudden surge in power caused excruciating pain throughout his body, as if his entire body was about to explode. Driven by the intense pain, Liu Qing roared in agony.
With a single step, he arrived before the Goddess of Good Water. At the same time, the incense-burning clone hidden underwater outside the formation and General Fubo Yuan Datou also received the signal and launched an attack on the Goddess of Good Water.

Originally, the river water was turbid, making it difficult to see the details of the formation. But once she could barely make it out, Goddess Shanshui saw Liu Qing approaching with red eyes.
At this moment, Liu Qing's aura was more than twice as strong as before. Although he had not yet reached the Dao, his strength was approaching that of the Grass-Headed Water Buffalo Demon, who possessed the authority to reach the Dao.

The Goddess of Good Water's pupils contracted, and her face paled instantly. She hurriedly used her divine power to prepare to manipulate the Three Powers Formation and teleport Liu Qing there.
But the sudden appearance of two divine powers behind her slowed her movements. It turned out that General Fubo and his incense clone had attacked.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Qing himself threw a punch, his fist imbued with strength-enhancing talismans. This punch likely possessed tens of thousands of pounds of force. Even before the fist arrived, the giant waves and splashing water droplets generated by the punch's force caused a stinging pain to the body of the Goddess of Good Water.
Ignoring what was behind her, the Goddess of Good Water unleashed all her divine power, transforming it into a realm of incense and magic that enveloped her entire body and blocked Liu Qing's fist.

The Goddess of Good Water is already at the early stage of the Dharma Realm. Her incense and divine power can initially transform into a Dharma Realm space with a radius of about 100 feet. She usually uses it to store things, raise Yin soldiers, and store divine power. In times of crisis, she can also summon it as a trump card to save her life.

Liu Qing's fist slammed into the Dharma Realm of the Goddess of Good Water, and the Dharma Realm suddenly caved in, almost being smashed apart by Liu Qing's punch.

The Goddess of Good Water's heart was in her throat. Seeing Liu Qing's rage, she no longer cared about saving face and shouted hoarsely, "Old Sparrow, come and help me!"

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, her former goddess-like demeanor was long forgotten.

"If you come, I'll kill you first!"

"She called you here to use you as a shield so she can use me to kill you!"

Just as the Phoenix Mountain God was about to make a move, Liu Qing's innate demonic words uttered, causing it to stop in its tracks and hesitate.

Liu Qing then poured all his demonic energy into the Ruyi Double-Eared Furnace. Instantly, the Ruyi Double-Eared Furnace transformed into a colossal, sky-covering structure, crashing down upon the Goddess of Good Water like a collapsing curtain.
With a deafening roar, the magical realm summoned by the Goddess of Good Water could no longer withstand the rage and shattered.

"Quick, seize her array plate!"

With a roar, Liu Qing himself unleashed a spear and shield, aiming for the back of the Goddess of Good Water, while the Incense Doppelganger seized the opportunity to snatch the array plate.

Without the array plate as the core control hub, Liu Qing swung the Ruyi Double-Eared Furnace, which had grown to half an acre in size, and slammed it into the water, instantly shattering the Three Talents Water Array.
