Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 223 Nine-Petaled Copper Hammer, Six-Grade Lotus, Five Elements Transformation into Bodhisattva Body

boom--

After a deafening explosion, the skull of the skeletal giant was shattered. Liu Qing then conjured a water mine and threw it, blasting the headless skeletal giant into pieces.

"King of Inspiration, if you have any other tricks up your sleeve, just use them and let me show you!"

King Linggan's face turned ashen with rage. He immediately swung his fish tail or chanted incantations, unleashing a series of water-based spells to launch a frenzied attack on Liu Qing.

However, Liu Qing was originally a river demon, so he was naturally familiar with water-based magic. In addition, he possessed water-based supernatural powers and talents, so no matter what kind of water-based magic the Great King Linggan used, it was easily neutralized by Liu Qing.

"What a waste of your time. I thought you had some extraordinary background and some impressive skills, but it turns out you're just an ordinary person. I was really disappointed."

Liu Qing didn't immediately kill the fish; he planned to see what kind of extraordinary abilities the goldfish Guanyin kept possessed.

But after looking at it again and again, and exhausting all my patience, it was just ordinary.

"Since that's the case, then you might as well die!"

Liu Qing's body trembled as he unleashed his dual-headed, four-armed Dharma body. His front body held the mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, while his rear body held the mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Mountain-Driving Whip.

Flapping its fiery wings, it pounced on the Inspiration King on the lake. Halfway there, it pointed a finger, and the Ice-Melting Divine Power froze the Inspiration King and the surrounding dozens of acres of lake water first.

The Panlong Eight-Tone Cone emitted a sound of ghostly wails and divine howls, shaking the soul of the Great King of Inspiration. Its murderous aura enveloped him, causing him to tremble with fear and lose his will.

Then came the blood-red spearhead, plunging straight towards his head.

The Great King of Inspiration immediately recited the Lotus Sutra in his mind to clear away the abnormality in his body, and then struggled to break free from the ice.

Immediately, his divine power trembled, manifesting a human form—a burly man with a red face. He wiped his mouth and pulled out a nine-petaled red copper hammer, its surface radiating a rich, precious light, a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

This nine-petaled red copper hammer originated from the nine-petaled bud of a sixth-grade lotus flower in the lotus pond in front of Guanyin of the South Sea. After being refined by Guanyin of the South Sea, it was transformed into a nine-petaled red copper hammer, a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

In terms of power, it is no weaker than the Mountain-Driving Whip, which is also a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

However, it is far inferior to Liu Qing's Panlong Eight-Tone Cone.

Then, the King of Inspiration gripped the hammer handle with both hands and swung it upwards, colliding with the coiled dragon eight-tone cone that Liu Qing thrust out.

Suddenly, a loud bang resounded, causing the lake water to explode into huge waves tens of meters high.

After the loud bang, Liu Qing remained unchanged, while Linggan Dawang was blasted dozens of feet away. He looked down at his nine-petaled red copper hammer and saw that it had been dented by the Panlong Bayin Cone. He was heartbroken.

"What immense strength! What a powerful magical artifact!"

The King of Inspiration was shocked and blurted out, "You're only just realizing that? Fool! If you had those kinds of methods, you'd be ready to die!" Liu Qing scoffed, "You're only just realizing that? Fool! If you had those kinds of methods, you'd be ready to die!"

With a flap of its fiery wings, it rapidly approached, and the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone slammed down on its head. King Linggan, feeling sorry for his precious pet, dared not take the blow head-on and could only dodge.

Liu Qing missed his first attack, then flapped his fire wings, turning his back into his front. He swung the Mountain-Driving Whip in his hand and smashed it down. The Great King of Inspiration had no choice but to take the hit and was knocked away again. Before it could stand still, Liu Qing's Panlong Eight-Tone Cone stabbed at it again.

With two heads and four arms, the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone and the Mountain-Driving Whip attacked in turn. The Great King Linggan tried to escape using water magic, but he could not escape Liu Qing's fire wings and the perfected water escape technique. Not to mention, he also had the speed boost from the low-grade spiritual treasure River-Walking Boots on his feet.

With his innate Fire Wings, Water Escape Technique, and River-Walking Boots, Liu Qing's speed was such that he wouldn't be afraid even when facing Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud, let alone the Great King Linggan.

With high speed, high attack frequency, and the aid of magical treasures, Liu Qing unleashed his strongest form, leaving the Great King Linggan trembling with fear and his soul nearly leaving his body.

I was both terrified and deeply shocked.

This little demon before me is only at the early stage of the Dharma Realm, and hasn't even evolved a Dharma Realm Cave Heaven yet. How could someone with such meager cultivation possess so many techniques? Moreover, regardless of his talent, his spells are incredibly powerful, and the spiritual treasures in his hands are even more terrifying. They couldn't even withstand the nine-petaled red copper hammer that Guanyin Bodhisattva specially forged for me.

I have never seen such a powerful fighter. It is said that the monkey who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace hundreds of years ago was powerful, but compared to him, even a little demon in the same realm would not be stronger than him.

It seems I have no choice but to use my trump card, otherwise I'll be defeated by this little devil today.

The little demon was ruthless and wanted to kill me without mercy. It didn't matter if I died, but I dared not ruin Guanyin Bodhisattva's grand plan.

Otherwise, Guanyin Bodhisattva would definitely let me die again and again, and I wouldn't even be able to save myself as a ghost.

With a resolute look in his eyes, the Great King of Inspiration immediately opened his mouth and spat out five streams of Qi, which were the five Qi within his chest.

The five energies in the chest correspond to the five elements. After being expelled, each of them occupies the position of the five elements. Then, a sudden flash of light pierces the eyes.

After the radiance faded, Liu Qing looked around and was suddenly shocked.

Above the King of Inspiration, five bodhisattva incarnations floated.

The first is the Majestic Guanyin, whose body is covered in golden light and contains murderous intent, representing the metal element of killing. The second is the Willow Guanyin, whose body is covered in green and contains vitality, representing the wood element of life. The third is the Water Moon Guanyin, whose body is covered in blue and contains endless water element, representing the water element of continuity.

The fourth is the Samadhi Guanyin, with a ball of fire on each of her head and shoulders, her whole body is red, and her aura is explosive, representing the fire element of burning.

The fifth is the Guanyin with hands clasped in prayer, its entire body is earth-yellow, and its aura is as solid as a mountain, representing the earth element power that bears everything.

Each Guanyin image manifested by the five elements brought heavy pressure to Liu Qing. Liu Qing's expression became solemn.

As expected of a goldfish raised by Guanyin, it was extremely favored, and even such magical powers were passed down to it.

He bestowed five of the thirty-three images of Guanyin of the South China Sea upon the Great King Linggan, and combined them with the five elements of Linggan, instantly boosting his combat power several times over.

At this moment, the Great King of Inspiration's combat power probably surpasses that of an ordinary Three-Flower Realm Incense God, and is approaching the Golden Body Realm.

"Kid, what do you think of my methods? I was originally planning to save them for some monkey, but since you insisted on rushing to your death, I had no choice but to start with you!"

The Great King of Inspiration clasped his hands together and bowed to the five statues of Guanyin.

"Please, Bodhisattva, subdue the demon!"

The Golden Bodhisattva struck with his palm, which instantly transformed into a golden mountain, carrying boundless killing intent as it pressed down upon Liu Qing.

A fierce glint flashed in Liu Qing's eyes: "Even if it were a Bodhisattva in front of me, I would dare to stab him with a spear, let alone just a statue of a god!"

Liu Qing swept his spear with all his might, smashing Jinshan to pieces with a loud bang, and then flew into the air, thrusting his spear forward.

With a flick of his wrist, Jin Xing Bodhisattva flicked his finger toward the tip of the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone Spear. A hint of contempt appeared on his normally expressionless face.

Unexpectedly, with a soft "plop," Liu Qing's coiled dragon eight-tone cone shattered the incoming finger and pierced the right hand of the Guanyin statue.

With a twist and a tremor, Liu Qing shattered the right hand of the Golden Bodhisattva into powder.

The King of Inspiration's eyes bulged as he stared at everything before him in disbelief.

Liu Qing burst into laughter, venting the pent-up emotions in his heart. Just now, the Great King Linggan had used the five elements in his chest to summon the Five Elements Bodhisattva statue, and he thought that the Great King's power was overwhelming and that he would be unable to defeat him.

But upon attacking, they discovered that the opponent was nothing but a paper tiger.

"Haha, the Guanyin of the South Sea is nothing special!"

Liu Qing's Panlong Eight-Tone Cone swept across, and the Metal Bodhisattva could hardly defend against it with one hand. The Wood Bodhisattva next to him hurriedly sprinkled a green light to repair the Metal Bodhisattva's broken right hand.

Unfortunately, the vibrant green light that had been scattered was blown away by a gust of cold wind from Liu Qing.

The Panlong Eight-Tone Cone swept across the waist of the Metal Bodhisattva, its immense force and innate killing aura capable of destroying everything in its path, snapping him in two.

The Great King of Inspiration chuckled, nearly scared to death. In the Three Realms today, who dares to lay a hand on Guanyin of the South Sea?

Even the once unruly monkey became docile in the presence of Guanyin of the South Sea.

This little demon actually swept a statue of Guanyin of the South Sea in two. Even though it was just a statue that he had summoned with the Five Elements and it wasn't even a clone, it still represented the majesty of Guanyin of the South Sea.

How dare he?
Fire Bodhisattva pointed a finger, and the three flames on his head and shoulders transformed into three fire crows, which swooped down on Liu Qing.

Liu Qing reached out and drew water from the lake below, trapping the three flames in the middle. He then used his ice-melting technique to freeze the three flames.

"You thought it was the Samadhi True Fire, but it turns out you're all show and no substance, just a silver-plated spearhead."

Liu Qing pierced the Fire Bodhisattva's body with his spear, lifted it up, and then smashed it down: "Haha, the South Sea Guanyin is nothing special!"

Liu Qing slew the Golden Bodhisattva and the Fire Bodhisattva in succession, finally waking up the stunned Linggan King. With red eyes, Linggan King brandished his nine-petaled red copper hammer and charged forward.

"You dare to blaspheme Guanyin! You deserve to be torn to pieces!"

"You allow it to kill me, but you allow me to kill it? What kind of logic is that? Even if Guanyin herself were here, I would still stab her with my spear!"

Liu Qing turned his body, using his back to hold the Mountain-Driving Whip to block the Great King of Inspiration, while his front continued to thrust the spear at the other three Bodhisattva statues.

Of the three Bodhisattva statues, the Wood Bodhisattva is only an assistant, responsible for healing, and lacks combat power. Although the Water Bodhisattva has various water magics, these magics are not very effective against Liu Qing, who is a river demon.

The last Earth-element Bodhisattva is mainly defensive; at best, he's just a target.

Liu Qing opened his mouth and spat out a perfect-level water mine, injuring the Water Bodhisattva. He then swept away the Earth Bodhisattva who came to his rescue with a spear. He then secretly summoned a perfect-level Fang Sword and, while the Wood Bodhisattva was busy healing the Water Bodhisattva, pierced through his heart.

The Bodhisattva of Wood died.

Liu Qing grabbed the tip of the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone Spear with one hand, bent it sharply, and then quickly released it. The powerful body of the innate spiritual treasure caused the spear tip to fly away at an invisible speed, instantly arriving in front of the Earth Element Bodhisattva and smashing half of his chest.

The Earth-element Bodhisattva, whose chest was half smashed, transformed into a cloud of yellow earth-elemental energy and drifted away in the air.

Only one Water Bodhisattva remains.

Liu Qing pointed his dragon-shaped eight-tone cone at it and laughed fiercely, "The Guanyin of the South Sea is nothing special, hahaha, hahaha—"

Just as Liu Qing was about to kill the Water Bodhisattva with a single spear thrust, suddenly, the tightly closed eyes opened and coldly looked at Liu Qing.
