Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Liu Qing shattered the life force of the Dragon-Subduing Venerable's physical body. His original soul tried to escape, but Liu Qing mobilized the power of the Lesser Thousand Worlds, directly sweeping it up and suppressing it within the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

The same thing happened to the Arhats who sat on deer and crossed the river, whose physical bodies and souls were all suppressed in the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

In front of Venerable Fuhu and Arhat Li Jing, Liu Qing forcefully killed one Venerable and two Arhats, shocking them to the core.

With Liu Qing blocking the way in front and the Bull Demon King, Sun Wukong, and others chasing behind, the remaining Arhats, including the Tiger-Taming Venerable, originally planned to escape westward to join the reinforcements, but now their plan has failed and they are surrounded in the middle.

"Sect Leader Liu, do you really intend to wage a full-scale war against Buddhism?"

"Don't think too highly of yourselves. I will expel you from the Three Realms. Let's see if Buddhism is willing to go to war with me for your sake?"

The expression on Venerable Fuhu's face froze, turning extremely gloomy.

Now that the Jie Sect has a wisp of the Tongtian Sage's soul, and Liu Qing is the acting leader of the Jie Sect personally appointed by the Sage, and we have been killed by him, it is unlikely that the Buddha Tathagata would wage a full-scale war against the Jie Sect for our sake.

Unable to deal with the remaining Daoist who was a fragment of the saint's soul, all seventeen Arhats perished today, and even the Buddha Tathagata and the Ancient Buddha Dipankara dared not wage a full-scale war against the Jie Sect.

Knowing that threats were useless, Venerable Fuhu had no more illusions. He suppressed his fear and quickly thought of a way to survive.

But in the face of absolute power, no amount of strategy is of any use. Venerable Fuhu felt bitter and pessimistic as he looked at the only remaining method.

That meant fighting Liu Qing to the death to see if he could survive.

As they were talking, the other Arhats who were a little slower caught up behind Venerable Fuhu.

At the same time, Sun Wukong, the Bull Demon King, the Roc Demon King, and several other fast-moving beings caught up and blocked their retreat.

The Venerable Subduing Tiger transmitted his voice to the remaining Arhats: "With Liu Qing in front and pursuers behind, we are now in a perilous situation. Only by fighting to the death can we survive!"

Liu Qing killed the gatekeeper Arhat at Liusha River, and today he has killed the Deer-Sitting Arhat, the River-Crossing Arhat, and the Dragon-Subduing Venerable.

Of the original eighteen Arhats, only fourteen remain.

These fourteen Arhats all understood the situation before them and no longer clung to any hope. They were determined to fight to the death, and immediately, they each unleashed their most powerful techniques, combining the strength of the fourteen Arhats to launch a fierce attack on Liu Qing.

He planned to use offense as a form of defense, intending to unleash his full fighting power and catch Liu Qing off guard. Even if he was ultimately defeated, he would buy time for the Buddhist reinforcements to arrive.

The sound just now seemed to travel to the western horizon, but in reality, the person was still tens of thousands of miles away.

Even using powerful techniques that bridge the two realms, it would probably take more than ten breaths.

Whether the fourteen Arhats could withstand Liu Qing for more than ten breaths remained to be seen.

Back then, Liu Qing was someone they could crush at will, but now, in just a few short years, things have changed drastically, and they have to beg for survival in his hands.

The enemy has a full-fledged Liu Qing, while we Arhats number only fourteen. How can we fight to the death? We can only hope to survive for a dozen or so breaths and find a way to live.

In the distance, the walls of Tongguan Pass.

Nezha frowned as he looked over and transmitted his voice to Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King: "Your Majesty, those eighteen Arhats will surely not escape their clutches today. Are we just going to sit idly by and watch them be killed?"

"You wicked child, what do you know? That Liu Qing is extremely fierce, and with the help of Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King, those eighteen Arhats are sure to die today."

"But this will weaken the power of Buddhism, so that it doesn't become too powerful and no longer be under the control of our Heavenly Court."

"Besides, we are only here to assist the Thunder God. How can we act on our own without Wen Zhong's order?"

Nezha glared at Li Jing, his little face turning ashen.

You old fool, you sit idly by and watch your allies suffer, not knowing the principle of mutual dependence. When it comes to our turn, who will come to our rescue?

Then, Nezha looked at Wen Zhong again and couldn't help but feel suspicious. If it was his own father, Li Jing, that old scoundrel, who was short-sighted, how could Wen Zhong, as the Thunder God and the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty, not understand?

Seeing Wen Zhong's expressionless face, Nezha sighed inwardly and didn't bother to say anything more. Anyway, he wasn't afraid of Liu Qing. All Liu Qing needed to do was protect him. If they were courting death, it was none of his business.

Led by the Tiger-Taming Arhat, the other thirteen Arhats, including the Pagoda-Bearing Arhat, poured all their cultivation into the Tiger-Taming Arhat's body.

With a roar, Venerable Fuhu slammed his fist into Liu Qing's chest. On his fist, the white tiger, representing the metal of the West, roared and manifested, pouncing towards Liu Qing.

Liu Qing's expression became slightly more serious. This attack, which combined the combined cultivation of fourteen Arhats—one Undying Realm cultivator and thirteen Golden Body Realm cultivators—was comparable to the attack of a top-tier Great Luo Realm expert.

The surrounding space had already shattered within the white tiger phantom created by Venerable Fuhu, revealing chaos in the void, which rushed towards them with earth-shattering power.

Excitement welled up in Liu Qing's heart. He wanted to see if he could withstand an attack comparable to that of a Grand Luo Realm early stage expert by unleashing his full power. Liu Qing immediately used the Great Divine Power of Heaven and Earth Transformation, transforming into a thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image. Then, he activated the fifth cycle of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, followed by the Warrior Divine Power. His magical power surged and divine power flowed, all of which was focused on the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone in his hand, which he smashed down fiercely towards the illusory white tiger of the west.

boom--

The white tiger phantom shattered with a crash, and the Tiger-Taming Venerable and the thirteen Arhats suffered a backlash, each collapsing to the ground, their faces ashen, severely injured and on the verge of death, utterly powerless to fight again.

Liu Qing was also sent flying hundreds of miles away by the force of the combined attack of the fourteen Arhats. The space behind him was crushed by his flying body, revealing chaos and leaving a chaotic trace that stretched for hundreds of miles.

Liu Qing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her face beaming with excitement, and then flew back.

He managed to block an attack equivalent to that of a Great Luo Realm expert, and only suffered a minor, insignificant injury.

Liu Qing has proven his true combat strength. Defeating a Grand Luo Realm expert is somewhat unrealistic, but he can fight to a draw with a Grand Luo Realm early stage expert in a short period of time.

If the power of the minor world mobilized by the Qiankun Ruler is added, it is estimated that they can gain the upper hand, but it will be difficult to win.

Therefore, with his current cultivation level at the early stage of the Divine Realm, Liu Qing's combat strength is capped at the early stage of the Great Luo Realm.

Sun Wukong's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. Just now, his master, with his cultivation at the early stage of the Divine Realm, had actually withstood an attack comparable to that of an early stage Great Luo Realm expert without any harm.

Such terrifying combat power has far surpassed his own.

Even if he unleashed his full strength and was aided by the Golden Cudgel, he could at most withstand a casual blow from a powerful expert in the early stage of the Great Luo Realm, but he would inevitably suffer serious injuries.

He was far inferior to his master, but his master was only at the early stage of the Divine Realm, while he himself had already reached the Undying Realm.

Their cultivation level was a whole Golden Body Realm lower.

Sun Wukong was completely convinced of Liu Qing's fighting prowess. As for the Bull Demon King and the others, they had long looked up to their Master Uncle. All of the Master Uncle's awe-inspiring actions were justified in the Bull Demon King's mind, and his admiration for him had reached the point of blind faith.

Liu Qingfei flew back, waved his hand and unleashed the power of the world, intending to imprison and suppress the fourteen Arhats, including the Tiger-Taming Venerable.

Unexpectedly, a golden cymbal suddenly appeared from the void and enveloped Liu Qing with lightning speed.

This also included the Arhats, including the Venerable Subduing Tiger.

Then, a great demon with yellow eyebrows tore through the void and emerged from within.

The Bull Demon King, who had long resided in Xiniu Hezhou, was horrified upon seeing the newcomer and exclaimed, "Great King Yellow Eyebrows, why have you come here?"

King Yellow Eyebrows glanced disdainfully at King Bull Demon King: "So it's you, you stupid bull! I, the Great King, have come to subdue this snake demon on my master's orders!"

"You, a great demon in the early stage of the Great Luo Realm, the number one demon in Xiniu Hezhou, actually have a master?"

“Foolish ox, I was originally the Yellow-Eyebrowed Boy under the command of Maitreya Buddha. I went to Xiniu Hezhou to become a demon. It was originally arranged by my master, Maitreya Buddha, to add another tribulation to the Journey to the West. Now that the Journey to the West is over, I naturally no longer need to mingle among demons. You foolish ox, do you still think I am a demon? How laughable.”

The Bull Demon King suddenly realized that when he was wandering around Xiniu Hezhou, he had also interacted with this Yellow-Eyebrowed King and knew that his cultivation was profound and that he was the number one demon in Xiniu Hezhou.

There are a few in Xiniu Hezhou who have reached the early stage of the Great Luo Realm, such as the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge. However, in terms of combat power, the Yellow-Eyebrowed King is stronger than the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge, who are also at the early stage of the Great Luo Realm, because he has several powerful spiritual treasures.

The Golden Bell, a superior innate spiritual treasure; the Human Seed Bag, a superior acquired spiritual treasure!

Both of these magical treasures are terrifying treasures that can trap and capture people. Once trapped by these two magical treasures, there is absolutely no way to escape unless the Yellow-Eyebrowed King agrees.

The Bull Demon King looked at the golden gong that had just trapped his master uncle and felt extremely alarmed. Even if his master uncle was powerful, he probably wouldn't be able to escape from the golden gong, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Once trapped inside this golden gong, which possesses the characteristic of being eternally solidified by the element of metal, it is impossible to escape without a powerful offensive magical treasure.

The Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

"Brothers, let's charge together, take down this Yellow-Eyebrowed Monster, force him to open the Golden Bell, and rescue our Master Uncle!"

Bull Demon King, Sun Wukong hardened his heart. He knew he was no match for them, but he had no way out. How could he let his master and uncle be captured by the enemy?

They had no choice but to grit their teeth and stamp their feet, preparing to attack together, besiege the Yellow-Eyebrowed King, and try to capture him and rescue their Master Uncle.

Sun Wukong somersaulted over and swung his golden cudgel at the head of the Yellow-Eyebrowed King. The Bull Demon King arrived shortly after, wielding his magical iron cudgel and sweeping it across the king's waist.

Then, the Roc Demon King revealed his true form as a Roc, spreading his sharp claws to grab at them. The Flood Dragon Demon King, the Yu Rong King, the Macaque King, and the Lion Camel King, all Great Saints at the Undying Realm, also unleashed their signature moves, launching a coordinated attack.
