Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 199 The Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit at the Top, the Two-Headed, Four-Armed Dharma Body

Yuan Datou finally realized that he had been implicated by the Liu Qing brothers, who had actually offended the local City God.
I had originally planned to have Brother Liu Qing accompany me so that my recruitment of ghost soldiers for the City God's Dharma Realm would go smoothly.
Unexpectedly, things went awry; not only did things not go smoothly, but he was also implicated. But now, he and Liu Qing were one.
Despite being implicated, I can't bring myself to sever ties with Liu Qing. Since things have come to this, I'll say no more. I'm close to Brother Liu Qing, and no matter what, I'll help him.

Yuan Datou poured all the incense and divine power in his body into Liu Qing's body, which increased Liu Qing's speed of escape using the Wind Transformation Divine Power.

With a flick of his divine power, City God Yang Zhen caused the blood moon in the sky to emit a crimson light that enveloped him, instantly increasing its speed.
Even if Liu Qingyuan and Da Tou were incredibly fast, they couldn't outrun Yang Zhen, the City God, the Lord of the Dharma Realm.

In just a few breaths, with the blessing of the Blood Moon power of the Dharma Realm, City God Yang Zhen had already flown to the top of Liu Qing's head.

With a flick of his palm, three sixth-grade black lotuses instantly emerged from his hand. These were the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit within his body, carrying the power to destroy everything, and fell towards Liu Qing.

In the mortal realm, on the island in the heart of Da Wan Lake.

White Snake was playing mahjong with Red Maiden, Little Girl, and Water Girl. She had just drawn a good hand and was about to shout "I've won!"
Suddenly, a pang of fear gripped him, and he quickly looked at his right index finger, where a strand of hair was wrapped around it.
It suddenly burst into flames.

This lock of hair was given to Liu Qing by Bai She'er after he was injured and returned to the island in the middle of the lake following his use of the Boiling Blood Technique.
"Sister, my husband's life is in danger!"

White Snake's expression changed instantly, and she said to Red Sister with a sob in her voice. Red Sister suddenly stood up, staggered, and Shui'er and Xiao Ya also changed color.

"Quickly, do it the way you told me before!"

Hong Gu regained her footing and hurriedly gave instructions to Bai She'er. Bai She'er immediately pulled Hong Gu along, and the two women ran towards the inner room.
"Xiaoya, Shui'er, you two stay outside and no one is allowed to come in!"

When Bai She'er and Hong Gu arrived at the inner room, they looked at each other and blushed, appearing quite embarrassed.

"Is your talent really useful?"

"Sister, don't hesitate any longer. This is a genuine talent, and it's definitely not something he wants to take advantage of you."

"Hmph, that's for the best, otherwise you'd better watch out."

Hong Gu gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, immediately tearing open her own clothes. Bai She'er did the same, and both women blushed with embarrassment.

"Sister, let's begin."

Having come this far, she had to finish what she started, no matter how absurd. Hong Gu took a deep breath, and the face-changing insect in her ear activated, quickly transforming her into Liu Qing.

Hong Gu looked down at the changes in herself, blushed, spat, and then walked towards Bai She'er.

Now, the City God Yang Zhen went all out from the start. His three black lotuses of essence, energy, and spirit spun around and became as huge as a mountain, crushing down on Liu Qing with a world-destroying aura.

Liu Qing also realized it was time to fight desperately.

He frantically tried to summon the Intercepting Sect's sword intent in his mind, but no matter how he called for it, the Intercepting Sect's sword intent wouldn't appear.
"Master, do you insist on waiting until your disciple has exhausted all his trump cards and is on the verge of life and death before you finally come out?"

Liu Qing smiled bitterly. This sword intent of the Intercepting Sect would not be revealed when he still had trump cards. It would only save his life if he had exhausted all his trump cards and was still on the verge of death.

Since he couldn't rely on the sword intent of this sect, Liu Qing disregarded everything else and immediately unleashed his blood energy, causing his blood to boil and explode once more.

In an instant, his strength doubled, and his cultivation level, which was originally at the Refining Void and Merging with the Dao stage, soared to the late stage of the Divine Power Realm.

Then, he threw the Yuan Datou he was holding toward the exit, and then activated his Whirlwind talent, instantly transforming into a two-headed, four-armed body.

Each of the four arms holds a magical treasure: the Ruyi Double-Eared Furnace, the Yin Jade Spirit Banner, the Thousand Rivers and Ten Thousand Waters Flag, and the Yin-Yang Harmony Drum.
The four mortal-grade spiritual treasures shook simultaneously, instantly creating countless streams of water, numerous ghostly soldiers and puppets, and the soul-stirring sound of drums.
And the Ruyi double-eared incense burner, which had grown countless times larger, to the size of mountains and rivers, also rushed towards the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit of the City God Yang Zhen.
At the same time, he fully activated the Water and Fire Refining Technique and his acquired talents to strengthen his own defense.

In addition, the two heads were not idle either; one head opened its mouth and spewed out nine water mines, while the other head blew out a gust of cold wind.
"Old ghost Yang, you want to kill me? Let's see if your knife is fast enough!"

Boom, boom, boom—

The next instant, immense divine power and demonic energy, along with the sound of the collision between the Three Flowers and the Spiritual Treasure, reverberated throughout the entire City God's realm.

Smoke and dust billowed into a mushroom cloud, ghostly mist resembled gunpowder smoke, and countless cracks appeared in the earth. On the other side of Xuanjian City, the Martial Judge, General Jin Jia, General Yin Suo, along with the Day and Night Patrol Gods, Yin Messengers, and Yin Soldiers, who were rushing towards this location, were instantly jolted by the enormous sound, their eardrums ruptured, and their soul blood seeped out.

The soul beasts caught in the tremor were crushed into dust by the sound waves. Even the three Five Qi Realm soul beasts, including Tiger Power Immortal, who were fleeing towards Chaotic Soul Mountain, were stunned and disoriented by the combined attack.
Li Hu, the civil judge who had been knocked away earlier, flew towards them like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, shouting at the City God Yang Zhen:
"Old devil Yang, if that brat dies, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Fuck you, City God! You dare kill my brother Yuan Datou? I'll fight you to the death!"

As the smoke and dust dissipated, the ghostly mist was blown away by the wind, revealing a huge crater below. In the center of the crater, Liu Qing still stood upright with two heads and four arms, each holding a magical treasure.
Li Hu, the civil official, and Yuan Datou both looked over. Upon seeing Liu Qing's appearance, they breathed a sigh of relief, but were immediately shocked.
Liu Qing, with only the late-stage Refinement of Void and Integration of Dao cultivation, was able to withstand a full-force attack from a Three-Flower Grandmaster who was four realms above him, and survive.
Such formidable strength is simply astonishing; if I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a fantasy.

The ability to transform into wind, two heads and four arms, four spiritual treasures, and the power of yin wind, water, and thunder—it's incredible that Liu Qing possesses several of these abilities, which are rarely seen by ordinary people.

Just as Li Hu, the judge, and Yuan Datou, the general who subdued the waves, were marveling at the situation, Liu Qing suddenly spat out a mouthful of demonic blood, and his expression quickly became listless.

The City God, Yang Zhen, who had been looking solemn, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was terrified! That someone in the late stage of the Void Refinement and Dao Integration realm possessed such terrifying combat power, managing to withstand a full-force attack!
This almost broke my guard. I thought all the young demons in the mortal realm were this strong, but it turns out they used a secret technique to forcibly enhance their combat power.
Thank goodness, I almost thought I was too old to wield a knife anymore.

"You little thief, my next strike will obliterate your body and soul!"

Although City God Yang Zhen had a slight appreciation for him, he had no choice but to harden his heart when it came to the Yang family's empire. His eyes flashed with murderous intent again, and he unleashed his three flowers, determined to destroy Liu Qing's body and soul so that he could not even become a ghost.

Seeing that Liu Qing was powerless to resist, Judge Li Hu could no longer disregard the suppression of his rank. He forcibly summoned the magical treasure, the Judge's Pen, and poured all his divine power into it. The Judge's Pen became a hundred-foot-long spear, thrusting towards the City God Yang Zhen.
Yuan Datou hesitated only briefly before his face hardened. Forgetting his own escape, he gripped a pair of lotus-shaped hammers, lunged forward, and smashed them down hard on the head of the City God, Yang Zhen.

"Boy, run! I'll hold them off for you. When you get back, take good care of Shimin, and even if I become a ghost, I won't regret it!"

Judge Li Hu was going all out. Since he couldn't leave the City God's realm anyway and couldn't help the Li family, he was willing to give up his ghostly life to gain the Li family's powerful support. He would die without regret.

"Brother Liu, if I hadn't asked you to come with me to this City God's realm, you wouldn't be in this predicament. I've harmed you, so I'll pay with my life!"

"Remember, take care of your sister-in-law when you get back!"

Yuan Datou was also going all out. When faced with a crisis, he couldn't care less about calculations. Righteousness came first, and he couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

Liu Qing's eyes were bloodshot as he watched helplessly as Judge Li Hu and General Yuan Datou, in an attempt to save him, rushed towards the City God Yang Zhen like moths to a flame.

Although he withstood a blow from City God Yang Zhen, he was now severely injured, and his Boiling Blood talent had been shattered, causing his demonic energy to surge wildly. He was completely immobilized and unable to join the battle. He could only watch helplessly as Judge Li Hu and Yuan Datou went to their deaths.

No matter how he tried to summon the Intercepting Sect sword intent within his body, it remained unresponsive.

Now that all their trump cards have been revealed and they are on the brink of life and death, why hasn't the Jie Sect's sword intent been unleashed yet?

Li Hu, the civil judge, was suppressed by his rank and his cultivation was also a level lower, so he was definitely no match for Yang Zhen, the City God. Yuan Datou's cultivation was too shallow, so he was even less of a match.
They fought desperately for a chance to escape, but I let them down, forced to watch them die, wasting this hard-won opportunity to flee.

The City God smiled contemptuously, pointing a finger at the Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. One black lotus blocked the Judge Li Hua's attack, while another black lotus blasted away General Fubo Yuan Datou.

The last black lotus then crashed down on Liu Qing.

"You think you can risk your lives to rescue this petty thief? Li Hu, you overestimate yourselves. Do you even deserve to save someone from my grasp?"

Judge Li Hu coughed up blood, his judge's pen fell to the ground, and Yuan Datou flew hundreds of feet away. His incense-like body began to disintegrate, his eyes still wide open.
Tiger Power Immortal and his two companions, all three spirit beasts, were unfortunately caught in the shockwave from the impact, and were thrown towards Liu Qing's direction.
The three of them looked at the black lotus, as big as a mountain peak, that was about to crash down, and couldn't help but feel bitter. They were so frustrated that they had to come here to die.

"Kid, why aren't you running away yet—"

"Ahem, Brother Liu, what are you still standing there for, you fool? I can't hold them off any longer—"

Liu Qing smiled bitterly. "I wanted to escape too, but my body was severely injured and I was too weak to move. I couldn't escape even if I wanted to."

Seeing that the remaining black lotus was about to crush him into dust, Liu Qing noticed that the sword intent within his body was still not emerging.
I couldn't help but feel indignant: Isn't this a matter of life and death?

Just then, a series of murmurs suddenly echoed in her heart, like soft moans. Immediately afterwards, a strange power enveloped Liu Qing.
Just at the critical moment, Liu Qing's body disappeared rapidly from beneath the black lotus.
