One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

Xu Xiang paused for a moment at the end of his sentence.

"Say!"

Chen Qidao.

Chen Duo, standing beside her, widened her eyes slightly, as if she had a premonition.

"President Zhao gave me a photo. That girl... looks almost exactly like Duo'er, and she was also brought to the fortress by Liao Zhong from the Medicine Immortal Society!"

Xu Xiang said slowly.

"Yes, yes, it's her..."

Chen Qi's expression flickered upon hearing the news, and before he could say anything, Chen Duo beside him suddenly burst into tears, her big, blinking eyes wide as she murmured softly.

"So I did miss one back then, right? Duo'er once said that she should have had a final journey with another child back then!"

Chen Qi said.

"Based on intelligence from all sides, that seems to be the case. Chen Qi, what are your plans?"

Xu Xiang's voice also became serious.

That girl, also named 'Chen Duo,' a temporary worker in the Lu Nan region, was the murderer of the person in charge of Lu Nan... She's not someone they can just protect like the Chen Duo in front of them.

"Brother, I have to save her! Without you, her Gu body technique is completely irreversible!!"

Chen Duo suddenly grabbed Chen Qi's clothes with unusual seriousness, her eyes filled with longing.

"Don't worry, I had a feeling this would happen, so I've been speeding up the process these past few days!"

Chen Qi took Chen Duo's slightly cold hand in his own and gave her a reassuring look.

If it's really like the original story, then the other 'Chen Duo' won't have much time left.

However, although Chen Qi has obtained the 'Heavenly Talisman', his body has not yet reached its limit and has not yet touched the bottleneck of the next level.

Generally speaking, after breaking through a layer of shackles, the Orochi Divine Body will experience a surge in strength, achieving a qualitative leap.

After the initial surge, growth will be slow and gradual over the next few years, so slow that it might go unnoticed if you're not paying close attention.

Generally, after 5 years, one can reach the next bottleneck again, and after obtaining the new 'Eight Extraordinary Skills', one can seek a new bloodline to break through.

Five years is clearly not the time that another Chen Duo would have.

However, Chen Qi discovered more than 30 years ago that as long as one cultivates Qi and circulates it throughout the body, this process will be accelerated.

"But even at the fastest pace, it will still take half a year..."

Chen Qi's expression flickered.

"Chen Qi, Duo'er, we mustn't act impulsively. We don't yet know the girl's current situation. We'll discuss everything in detail when I return from the company headquarters next month!"

Xu Xiang solemnly reminded him.

"We understand, we'll talk about everything when you come back!"

After answering, Chen Qi gently hung up the phone.

"elder brother..."

Chen Duo leaned helplessly against Chen Qi's chest, her tear-streaked eyes filled with worry and expectation.

"Don't worry, I'll figure something out!"

Chen Qi gently hugged Chen Duo to comfort her.

"Didn't you say you needed to reach a bottleneck before you could feed others again? You've been running the cycle every day these past few days to speed things up?"

Feng Baobao asked curiously.

"Yes, but even at the fastest it will take six months!"

Chen Qi frowned.

"Isn't there any other way to speed it up?"

Chen Duo asked nervously.

"You can feel that my body is slowly growing, can't you?"

Chen Qi said.

"Yes, as your body grows, we grow with it; when you reach a plateau, we stop growing too!"

Feng Baobao nodded.

"All we can do now is try our best!"

Chen Qi gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother, I beg you, you must save her!"

Chen Duo pleaded, feeling both heartache and an inability to resist.

"Don't worry, I will do everything in my power for our Duo'er!"

Chen Qi kissed Chen Duo.

"Ok!"

Chen Duo nodded happily.

"Ding dong~!"

Just then, Chen Qi's WeChat message notification rang again.

"Ok?"

Chen Qi's eyes lit up when he saw who sent the message.

"Baby, Duo'er, I have something important to do and I don't know how long it will take, but maybe it will speed up my growth!"

Chen Qi said to the two women.

"Don't worry about things at home!"

Feng Baobao had a "leave it to me" expression.

"Brother, I'm waiting for you to come back!"

Chen Duo was reluctant to part, but she did not try to stop Chen Qi from staying.

"Let's get going!"

Chen Qi suddenly took off right in front of the two women, soaring into the clouds and then breaking through the air in one direction.

. . . . . . .

one week later

In a remote valley

"Boom~~!!"

A raging purple-blue flame instantly swept across the entire valley.

"Holy crap, are you going to kill this old man... huh?"

not far away

Xia Liuqing, looking terrified, was suddenly engulfed by the overwhelming azure flames, but he didn't feel any discomfort, which he found strange.

All that could be seen was a vast expanse of azure flames covering the earth and sky, yet strangely, it caused no harm whatsoever to anything in the valley.

"Great Serpent Transformation—"

Chen Qi's ethereal and majestic voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire world.

Enveloped in a sky full of azure flames, with Xia Liuqing unable to see inside, Chen Qi's body began to undergo tremendous changes.

After an unknown amount of time, the storm gradually dissipated, and Chen Qi's figure reappeared in front of Xia Liuqing.

"The Flame Serpent!"

Xia Liuqing saw Chen Qi and slightly opened her mouth, softly uttering a few words.

"This is... him playing a god?"

Chen Qi's appearance had changed drastically at this moment, and Xia Liuqing couldn't help but feel shocked when she saw him.

Chapter 123 The Powerful 'Great Serpent Transformation'!

Chen Qi's originally snow-white hair turned light purple.

He appeared light as a feather, with faint wisps of azure flame rising and falling around him, constantly ruffling his hair.

Chen Qi's calm and composed face was revealed.

What truly shocked Xia Liuqing was Chen Qi's eyes. His once clear black and white eyes were now completely covered with a purplish hue, making him look extremely shocking.

At this moment, Chen Qi's posture also changed from standing upright as he had never changed before.

Chen Qi stood with one foot crossed over the other, floating half a meter above the ground, appearing both mysterious and sacred.

"Chen, Chen Qi? Are you still conscious? Don't tell me you've gotten yourself into trouble with some evil god?"

Xia Liuqing immediately called out.

"it's me!"

Chen Qi, who was sitting cross-legged on one leg, slowly turned his head to face Xia Liuqing.

"Uh..."

In an instant

Xia Liuqing felt as if his fate had been seen through by everyone, giving him an extremely eerie feeling.

"Flame Spirit Spring!"

Chen Qi, sitting cross-legged on one knee, had piercing eyes and slightly raised his head to look ahead.

"boom!!!!"

Suddenly, a massive purple-blue spiritual spring emerged from a large patch of grass 5 meters in diameter in front of them, instantly burying the ground and creating a deep pit 5 meters in diameter.

"What kind of power is this..."

Xia Liuqing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The Spirit Spring is a technique that primarily uses the power of lightning, supplemented by other forces. In its perfect state, it is only half a meter in diameter and possesses extremely strong penetrating power and a certain amount of annihilation power.

However, now that Chen Qi has learned Xia Liuqing's divine mask and performed the "Flame Serpent" based on the "Flame Power" of the Great Serpent, the overall power structure of the Spirit Spring has been completely changed.

"That attack just now was undoubtedly a spiritual spring dominated by the power of fire, and its coverage area reached a diameter of 5 meters. Although it lacked the penetrating power of lightning, its annihilation ability was even stronger!"

Chen Qi stared calmly at the huge, deep pit in front of him, lost in thought.

"And the one that has been strengthened the most is..."

"boom!"

Chen Qi's body, which was faintly visible with azure flames, suddenly burst with explosive power, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Xia Liuqing.

"What? This isn't his teleportation technique; he used some powerful force to propel himself here instantly!"

Xia Liuqing thought to herself in horror.

"Xia Liuqing!"

Chen Qi called out Xia Liuqing's name softly and reached out to grab her.

"Oh no, this kid has no sportsmanship, he's trying to silence me!!!"

Upon seeing this, Xia Liuqing instinctively slapped Chen Qi with her palm.

"Flame Divine Finger!"

Before Xia Liuqing's palm could even touch Chen Qi, it only touched two inches in front of Chen Qi when a violent burst of azure flames suddenly erupted from his body, instantly freezing him.

"really!"

Chen Qi nodded secretly upon seeing this.

Among Orochi's techniques, only the Divine Finger is based on the "power of fire," which contains a trace of the "power of time," supplemented by other powers.
