Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 183 The Wind Transformation Divine Power Summons the Evil Dragon, the Three Talents Water Formation Traps the Evil God
After studying the Wind Transformation Divine Skill he stole from Xiong Kuohai for a period of time, he has now mastered the basics.
Although it wasn't as powerful as when Xiong Kuohai unleashed it, and could maintain the Black Wind state for a long time, it only lasted for a brief moment.
But in that instant, Liu Qing's physical body could become ethereal, allowing him to escape from beneath the mouth of the evil dragon in the Wei River.

Upon seeing Liu Qing display such wondrous supernatural power, the Wei River Evil Dragon exclaimed in surprise, then hesitated in its eyes.
Given the opponent's formidable abilities, he cannot be subdued quickly. Rather than entangled with him here, it would be better to go down and devour those humans to increase one's cultivation.
Why did the evil dragon twist its body and fly downwards?

How could Liu Qing do as it wished? After recovering from the Wind Transformation Divine Power, it spread its fiery wings again and followed the Wei River Evil Dragon.

Halfway there, they unleashed a water mine, its target the very place where the descendants of the Wei River monster had multiplied.

With a deafening roar, the mine exploded.

The evil dragon of the Wei River suddenly widened its eyes and then let out a deafening roar.

Although the mine didn't hit me directly and didn't even damage my scales, I was almost scared to death. If it had hit me, wouldn't I have been childless?
Feeling utterly humiliated, the evil dragon of the Wei River, no longer caring about devouring the disaster victims below, lunged at Liu Qing with bloodshot eyes.

Liu Qing chuckled, unfurled his fiery wings, and flew towards the Jing River.

The Wei River Demon Dragon pursued relentlessly, cursing and swearing, frantically chasing after Liu Qing, using all its divine power to increase its speed.

They quickly caught up with Liu Qing, but Liu Qing once again used his Wind Transformation ability to escape from the mouth of the evil dragon.

After leaving, he didn't forget to throw a mine, specifically targeting the lower body of the evil dragon in the Wei River.

The evil dragon of the Wei River went completely mad.

They followed closely behind Liu Qing, heading straight for the Jing River.

At this moment, Hong Gu, the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast Shui'er, the four divided spirits, and General Tuo had already lurked at the bottom of the Jing River.

Liu Qing suddenly stopped, turned to look at the Weihe Evil Dragon, who was still furious and following a few feet away, and grinned maliciously.

"You wicked dragon, you devour mortals and commit countless evils. Today you've fallen into my hands, and I'll teach you a lesson—to skin you alive, tear out your tendons, and annihilate your body and soul!"

As he spoke, he spat out the top-grade magic artifact array plate from his mouth and tossed it into the air. Demonic energy poured in, and instantly the Jing River surged, flowing along the profound trajectory of the array.
The next instant, the evil dragon of the Wei River saw the sun, moon, and stars in disarray, and the surrounding scenery rotated. When it looked again, it found itself in unfamiliar waters.

"Array?"

The Wei River Evil Dragon is a member of the Dragon Clan, whose origins can be traced back to the Dragon Palace of the South Sea. Naturally, it has extraordinary knowledge and, after calming down from its rage, it immediately recognized the Three-Inch Water Formation.

Liu Qing wasn't afraid to recognize him.

Even if it recognizes it, so what? The core of the array is in my hands. Now that the Three Talents Water Array is complete, if it wants to break the array, it either needs to set up its own Three Talents Water Array and reverse its operation to break the array with the array itself.
They can either seize the array's core from their own hands.

Liu Qing pointed at the array plate, moving Hong Gu and the others from underwater into the grand array. He positioned Hong Gu, the strongest fighter, and her first incense clone in the other two corners, while the others provided support.
Only the weakest of the three, General Tuo, was not moved into the Three Talents Water Formation, simply because he had other duties.
The next moment, Liu Qing tossed the core array plate to General Tuo outside the array: "Make sure to protect the array plate!"

"Rest assured, my lord, as long as I live, this array will remain!"

General Tuo was deified by Liu Qing, who then made Liu Qing his divine master. His loyalty was no less than that of his clone, and he was no less than that of Shui'er. Therefore, when He E Qiu came to ambush and kill him, Liu Qing summoned it.

Liu Qing did not invite the more powerful General Fubo to help him, lest he be unable to keep his mouth shut. Liu Qing had too many methods that he did not want others to know.

Liu Qing's main body, his first clone, and Hong Gu's three clones each stood at the three key points of the Sun, Moon, and Stars formation. The other second, third, and fourth clones, along with the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast Shui'er, moved around nearby to provide support. In this battle, Liu Qing could be said to have used all his strength.

Seeing that he was trapped in the formation, the evil dragon of the Wei River, though unfamiliar with formations, did not panic much due to his own powerful cultivation.

"A mere few scoundrels think they can surround and kill me? That's utterly laughable!"

Liu Qing's true form is at the mid-stage of the Refining Void and Integrating Dao realm, her first avatar is a seventh-grade Incense God, and she is at the mid-stage of the Divine Power realm. Hong Gu is a seventh-grade Authority God. After so much cultivation, she has also reached the mid-stage of the Divine Power realm.

As for the second, third, and fourth clones, they are all ninth-rank incense gods who have just entered the Divine Power Realm. The remaining one, Shui'er, is a grass god whose authority has reached the Dao but who has not yet taken office. Now that her strength has been fully restored, she is also at the early stage of the Divine Power Realm.

The Weihe Evil Dragon wasn't wrong to say that Liu Qing and his companions were merely minor deities. Below the Dharma Realm, everyone is a minor deity. This is because deities at the Divine Power Realm, whether incense gods or authority gods, primarily focus on accumulating divine power and cultivating supernatural abilities at this level. They don't possess the formidable skills to develop a Dharma Realm. Calling them minor deities isn't considered disrespectful.
In particular, the Weihe Evil Dragon, who combined power with the Dao, has recently seen his cultivation level surge to the late stage of the Dharma Realm, and he is even more arrogant.

The Wei River Evil Dragon hated Liu Qing the most. Just now, during the chase, it specifically targeted his lower body, which was truly insidious and shameless: "Run! Why did you stop running? Today, I'll skin you alive and tear your tendons out!"

"You trapped me with an array, but it just so happens to suit my purposes. It'll save me the trouble of chasing you down, so I can just take care of you all at once!"

Once again, he was about to be skinned alive. Reminded of this, Liu Qing's eyes lit up. This Wei River Evil Dragon possessed immense cultivation, and its true form was over thirty zhang long.

If I kill it and extract its tendons, wouldn't that help my own body evolve into a serpent?

The evolutionary path of the Horned Serpent is now only missing one more tendon!
"Fine, fine, if you want to skin me alive and pull out my tendons, then I, Master Liu, will pull out my tendons too. Let's see who pulls out whose tendons first!"

Liu Qing's eyes darted over the Wei River Evil Dragon, greed filling them. The Wei River Evil Dragon instantly flew into a rage upon seeing this.

Ignoring the fact that they were in a large formation and in a passive position, they rushed towards Liu Qing first.

Recently, it has devoured nearly ten thousand disaster victims. Although it has rapidly improved its cultivation level by using unorthodox methods, the evil energy surrounding it has affected its mind, making it extremely prone to rage.

As the Wei River monster approached, it swung its tail back and struck down. The tail was flat and resembled a dragon's tail. With one strike, the sound was as loud as a mountain collapsing.

Liu Qing, occupying the key position in the formation and unable to move, remained fearless despite the fierce attack of the Wei River Demon Dragon. He first activated the Warrior Talisman, increasing his strength by two thousand jin, and then used the Water and Fire Refining Technique to enhance his physical defense several times over, further boosting his strength.
After making such preparations, he waved his hand, and the Ruyi Double-Eared Incense Burner, which had been nurtured within his body, was instantly grasped in his hand. Facing the rumbling dragon tail, he exhaled, and the Ruyi Double-Eared Incense Burner grew larger, raising its flames to smash into the sky.

With a loud thud, a dull impact resounded in the water, and the Jing River within the formation surged with towering waves.

Liu Qing groaned, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. The Wei River Evil Dragon was not faring much better, its slammed tail being flipped back.

In a physical clash, Liu Qing was at a disadvantage, while the Weihe Evil Dragon gained the upper hand.

"Such immense strength, such formidable defense, such a powerful magical artifact!"

The Weihe Evil Dragon was astonished. It had thought that it could smash Liu Qing into mincemeat with a single blow, but it did not expect that Liu Qing had amazing strength, strong defense, and extremely sharp spiritual treasures.

"It's a real waste to leave such a precious treasure in your hands. Give it to your grandfather!"

The Weihe Evil Dragon greedily eyed the Ruyi Double-Eared Furnace, then lunged forward again. Suddenly, its mouth opened several times larger, and it tried to swallow the Ruyi Double-Eared Furnace with its supernatural power of swallowing the heavens.

Having just clashed head-on, Liu Qing had assessed E Qiu's strength and dared not fight him again. Seeing E Qiu trying to snatch the Ruyi Double-Eared Incense Burner from his hand, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
He stomped his foot on the array's core, and instantly sunlight flashed, turning the river water within the array golden. The array patterns rapidly shifted.
Reversing the attack of the evil dragon, from head to tail, it instantly became tail in front and head to tail in front. Meanwhile, the second and third clones, who had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately opened their mouths and spewed out a gust of cold wind, accompanied by piercing, ghostly screams.
A cold wind swept through the evil dragon's body, causing it to freeze, shiver, and appear somewhat listless.

Liu Qing's ten incense-based supernatural powers could all be shared with his clone. Although this round of yin winds did not disperse the evil dragon's soul,

However, the blow also weakened its soul power and made it listless. Weihe Evil Dragon's heart sank. Its opponent had only just entered the Divine Power Realm, yet possessed such terrifying divine power, causing it to suffer a small loss.

Shocked, he dared not be careless again. He wiped his mouth, took out a pill and swallowed it. Instantly, the damage caused by the Yin Wind Divine Power was eliminated.

Liu Qing exclaimed in surprise, quite unexpected. This Evil Dragon Pill was truly miraculous; it could instantly heal the damage caused by the Yin Wind Divine Power.
Since acquiring the Ruyi Double-Eared Furnace, Liu Qing had considered trying alchemy, but firstly, the methods of alchemy were difficult to comprehend, and secondly, one thing after another happened, leaving him no time to calmly attempt it. So he put it aside, only using the Ruyi Double-Eared Furnace as a brick to smash people.
When I have more time, I must study the art of alchemy carefully. Using river treasures, earth treasures, and heavenly spirits to refine pills will have a much stronger effect than swallowing them raw.

Liu Qing occupies the Sun Eye of the Three Talents Water Formation, serving as the primary element, while the other two secondary elements—the Moon Eye occupied by the first clone and the Star Eye guarded by Hong Gu—serve as secondary elements.

Therefore, the operation of the Three Talents Water Formation was mainly controlled by Liu Qing. Seeing that the previous method was effective, Liu Qing activated the formation's core again.
They repeatedly shifted the Wei River Evil Dragon back and forth, while the first clone, or Hong Gu Shui'er, waiting there, unleashed all their attack methods, striking the Wei River Evil Dragon in turn.
The first clone held a spirit-binding chain in each hand, striking and restraining the Wei River Evil Dragon's soul, causing it to tremble.

Hong Gu remained true to her fighting spirit, relying on her abundance of magical treasures, she unleashed over ten of them, hurling them one after another at the Wei River Evil Dragon.

The attack shattered the scales of the Wei River Evil Dragon, causing it to bleed profusely. The dragon roared in agony, and in its rage, the sight of numerous magical treasures reignited its greed.

What a stroke of luck to have encountered so many magical treasures today! I'll unleash a powerful magic and annihilate them all; then these treasures will be mine!
However, Weihe Eqiu was puzzled as to what kind of background they had and how they could possess so many spiritual treasures. He roughly sensed the aura emanating from Hong Gu and had a sudden thought: there was a faint dragon aura beneath the power of authority. Could it be that she was the little aunt that his father had mentioned?
