Cursed Mountains and Seas

Chapter 273 My wealth of tens of millions of taels of silver, can you handle it?

Make a sound in the east and attack in the west!

The serpent's former wisdom was used to gain super power, so it wasn't very smart to begin with.

Wang Cheng and his wife A Xiao seized upon the fact that this shikigami was inherently mentally challenged, and deliberately separated it from its external brain, the [Void Monk] Tian Shan.

A single blow struck a vital spot that would never normally occur!
Now the snake tail was completely out of control, and it couldn't even distinguish friend from foe anymore.

Apart from those sub-units that had previously received orders to attack the city and were determined to rush into Meizhou City even at the cost of their lives, the rest were all thrown into chaos.

Even if they encountered Japanese pirates blocking their way, they would be torn to shreds without hesitation.

The coordinated offensive by both sides was completely disrupted.

However, the snake tail itself, which had long since locked onto its hatred, was still relentlessly pursuing the [Five Peaks Banner], and its movement speed was extremely fast.

A series of loud splashing sounds rang out, and with each movement, waves of water in the bay crashed onto the shore, like an irresistible avalanche at sea, so powerful that even the bay could not contain it!
Let alone being chased by this behemoth, just watching it from the side would make one feel deeply suffocated.

The "Five Peaks Flag" in front fought and retreated. Although it was huge, it did not have the amazing speed of an average of only 2 knots like ordinary third-class or higher battleships.

The four guardian spirits—Dragon Eye, Lion Head, Tail Wing, and Loach—and the five giant sails in red, black, blue, yellow, and white, meticulously crafted by Lao Wang, shone brightly.

It can calmly draw upon the power of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the surrounding environment.

Five auspicious clouds of five colors emerged from the sails, steadily supporting the massive hull.

The entire ship seemed to float on the water as if riding on an air cushion, and its speed instantly soared to over 15 knots, running fast and steadily.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Seeing that it couldn't catch up in the short term, the serpentine immediately swung its long tentacles, and the arms that curled into balls at the ends flew out one after another.

After fighting for so long, you can hardly see any fancy or dazzling special skills on it anymore; all that remains is its brute force, enhanced to its peak!
This simple flick is in no way inferior to a large catapult or a shell from a coastal defense gun.

"Well done!"

Wang Cheng made a hand seal with one hand, using the five giant sails on the ship to instantly transform the surrounding sea breeze.

Led by the wind and thunder that rose hand in hand into the sky, they transformed into a huge vortex that surrounded the entire warship, blowing most of the cannonball-like sub-projectiles away from the side.

Only a few dozen small basket snakes hopped onto the deck or crawled into the cabin through the gun ports.

Wang Cheng shook his dragon scales, unleashing 150 Five Directions Dragon Scale Soldiers who merged with the evil spirits on the ship.

As his own strength increased, the number of [Five Directions Dragon Scale Soldiers] also increased, and their strength also improved.

The last time they appeared beside Prince Jinghai, these temple soldiers were all covered in airtight armor, and no one could see what they looked like inside.

They weren't afraid that if they continued to use it under Wang Fugui's wing, someone would discover their secret.

Clad in dragon-scale armor, each of them swelled into small giants over ten feet tall, wielding long-handled sabers and unleashing the ultimate "Eight Wave-Breaking Sabers."

In the blink of an eye, they used their superior forces to dismember all the small basket snake tails.

A tidal wave of evil spirits surged out of the shadows, dragging all the very weak souls within them onto the Mirage Cloud Dragon Ship.

"Wang Xiaoqi, so small!"

"Okay, brother!"

Wang Xiaoqi saluted solemnly and directed the warship to shrink from three times its original size back to its original size, and then further shrink to the size of an ordinary sampan.

The overall wind force remained largely unchanged, but the speed increased dramatically, leaving a long white trail on the sea surface and leaving the monster far behind.

Of course, the power of the cannons was also reduced accordingly, and continuing to fire would only be like scratching an itch.

“Hmm——!”

The snake, unable to catch up with its target, grew increasingly impatient and suddenly swung its arm, the one that had been half-broken off by a shell.

A tentacle, half of which was also fifty meters long, came hurtling in and rapidly expanded into a large basket snake tail in mid-air.

Before they could even land, the shadowy figure had already completely enveloped them, and a stench so strong it could bring tears to their eyes, along with a pungent, bloodthirsty smell, assaulted their senses.

If it bites you, you'll die a horrible death.

"I still have to do it myself. Die!"

Wang Cheng transformed into a ten-zhang-long azure dragon and soared into the sky, his pair of [Qilin Shangfang Maces] expanding tenfold along with it.

As divine weapons once used by living ghosts and gods of the highest rank, such as the King of Kaiping, they are not only incredibly hard and effective against evil spirits, but they can also change size according to the size of their master.

Even the weight will change accordingly, from the lightest being as light as a cow's hair to the heaviest exceeding a thousand catties. How much it can exceed that depends entirely on the owner's skill.

At this moment, its size was comparable to a city gate bolt, but it fit perfectly in the claws of a ten-zhang-long azure dragon. A knock would mean death, and a touch would mean injury!

At the same time, with a change in breathing, one achieves harmony between heaven and man, and the heart and kidneys unite.

The heart fire (Li trigram, belonging to Yang) and the kidney water (Kan trigram, belonging to Yin) merge in the dantian, evolving into the interaction of Yin and Yang in the universe, and a wisp of "Qi thunder" is instantly generated in the body.

Azure Dragon's body was enveloped in surging blue and white lightning, which transformed into the hexagram "Thunder and Wind Interacting" from the I Ching in front of and behind him.

Thunder (Zhen trigram) belongs to Yin within Yang, and it interacts with Wind (Xun trigram), which is Yang within Yin.

As yang energy rises and yin energy sinks, the two energies collide violently, their interaction causing thunder.

Instantly unleash the combined magical and martial attack of Thunder God's Cloak and Mace, the "Wind and Thunder Intertwined"!
It was as if a high-speed yin-yang pivot had been installed inside Wang Cheng's body, granting him astonishing speed and explosive power.

Snapped!
The wind and thunder energies transformed into two wheels of wind and thunder in his hind claws, exploding with explosive energy that propelled him to tear through the atmosphere, instantly bringing him to the front of the large basket snake tail that had just split off.

He slammed down his thick double maces.

"Get down here!"

At the same time, the insights gained from daily dual cultivation with his senior sister and research on the [Yin Yang Thunder Fire Pivot] surged into his mind. Taking advantage of the moment when the wind and thunder burst forth, he connected with the third killing move he had just comprehended.

Simply put, it's called "Left Zero Right Fire"!
The moment the two iron maces touched each other, electrical charges flowed violently between them, exploding into a dazzling burst of incandescent white light. Boom!

The large basket snake's tail suddenly twitched, and he was violently slapped away from the side, leaving a large patch of charred, mangled flesh on its body.

The principle behind this technique is the same as using two rods to electrofish.

The essence of electricity is simply the directional movement of charged particles; the more charge flows per unit time, the stronger its destructive power.

When the voltage is strong enough to break through the air, it will cause the air to expand rapidly and explode, using wind and thunder to blast the target away!
"Take another shot from your grandma!"

The Five Peaks banners, which had widened the distance behind them, grew larger again, unleashing their firepower on the targets whose bodies were still numb and who were somewhat immobile.

A single concentrated attack blasted it into several pieces, which floated to the surface of the water like black, rotten wood.

At the same time, Ah Xiao caught up to the top of the snake's tail and stood above the clouds.

After being promoted to the fourth rank [Dragon's Blood], his strength increased greatly, and he was already a local dragon god who had received a divine decree.

Not only could he crush all human officials of the same rank upon breaking through, but at this moment he even touched a trace of the divine power of living ghosts and gods.

"beep--!"

The sound of conch shells pierced the sky and the sea.

A dragon aura rose from the top of the dragon maiden's head, vaguely outlining the shape of a magnificent crystal dragon palace, with the turtle minister and clam maiden, shrimp soldiers and crab generals standing on the left and right.

This is the Dharma temple and mandala she carried with her after cultivating to the level of [Five Temples Divine Treasury] – the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

The area three zhang and three zhang in front of him and three zhang and three zhang behind him are both mandalas.

Unlike other fourth-rank officials, there was a phantom image of the Nine Dragon River at the foot of the Crystal Dragon Palace.

The Jiulong River is the second largest river in Minzhou after the Min River, with a drainage area of ​​14741 square kilometers.

It is formed by the confluence of the main stream Beixi and the tributaries Xixi and Nanxi, passing through Xiangzhou Prefecture and flowing into the strait. The Xiangzhou Plain downstream is one of the four major plains of Minzhou Prefecture and is the essence of the prefecture.

Now, she, [Madam Yan], is the true Dragon King of Jiulongjiang, enjoying the dragon energy and incense offerings of the land.

Her right paw lifted the square tombstone, which seemed as light as a feather, in her hand.

A [Nine Provinces Order Register] with the authority to allocate official energy was activated simultaneously.

The official aura of Minzhou swept in and enveloped the hundredth stone, transforming the square tombstone into a large, golden seal.

"town!"

With a gentle toss, the stone revealed its true weight only after it left my hand.

Like a meteor falling to earth, a sonic boom carrying the pressure of collapsing air swept across the sky, and the thick clouds were suddenly blasted open by the scorching wind, revealing the azure sky behind them.

A streak of golden-red light flew down toward the snake's tail.

The ability of the Hundredth Stone is simple and direct; it does not rely on the stone's status as a mere county treasure, but entirely on the owner's wealth.

It merely acts as a lever.

This proves the saying: there is no strongest talisman or talisman, only the richest owner.

"This stone of mine contains tens of millions of taels of silver plus countless assets. Can you handle it?"

Boom——! ! !
The two sides fighting on the shore, as well as the people in Meizhou City, all suddenly felt a violent tremor beneath their feet and looked up into the depths of the bay.

The serpent's tail raised its remaining three main arms, while its slightly thinner secondary arms and countless tentacles wove together a large hunting net above its head.

The tentacles were blasted into bloody mist layer by layer, and the kinetic energy of the hundredth stone continued to weaken, eventually crashing into its back and slamming it deep into the seabed.

Even though it was covered in blood and surrounded by a turbid, towering wave, it was still not fatally injured.

It actually caught this enormous amount of wealth!
Even as its body sank into the mud, it continued to open its mouth and gnaw on the mud mixed with various decaying substances. Surprisingly, its body recovered rapidly, and its tentacles regrew, albeit more slowly than when it was eating meat or grass.

In the sky, the couple, now reunited, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wang Cheng's eyes lit up:

"If all the monsters polluted by the outside world had the ability to grow flesh by eating grass, soil, or even just drinking the northwest wind, we could become the richest people in the world by opening a meat processing plant."

Yun Xiao rolled her eyes at him, put the stone away, and reminded him:

"We'll see if we can eat this later."

The weight of this hundredth stone of mine depends entirely on the [Market Easy Treasure Qi] within it. It requires a lot of time to breathe and recharge to gather Qi before it can be used again.

We can't give it a second blow now, and even if we did, we probably still wouldn't be able to kill it.

I think its only weakness is its mouth, which leads directly into its delicate body cavity; nothing else should be able to penetrate its defenses. Let's proceed with Plan Two.

Wang Cheng nodded:

"Sister Axiao, please use the mist to cover it up for me, I'll flip it over!"

"No problem, my body is ready to spread clouds and sever rainbows."

Yunxiao opened her mouth and exhaled, and endless white mist poured down from her mouth, obscuring the view of everyone in the distance, so that they could only vaguely see two ethereal dragon shadows, one blue and one white, in the clouds.

Wang Cheng then revealed his last trump card—the unfinished [Mirage Cloud Dragon Ship].

The next moment, the increasingly perfected celestial treasure ship descended upon the human world.

Deep within the fog, a jet-black "steel warship" sped up, the [Yin Yang Thunderfire Cardinal] roaring like an angry dragon, and slammed into the tail of the serpent!
