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

Rumbling--

The thunder and the voices rang out simultaneously.

Chen Qi had no choice but to cross his arms to protect his face, and golden light formed a shield in front of him.

When the lightning subsided, only a charred, deep pit remained on the snow, and Shanqi had long since disappeared.

"Blood escape technique?"

Chen Qi picked up the half-melted compass, a cold smile freezing on his lips.

Chapter 257 Life-Saving Techniques

A piece of scaly skin was stuck to the bottom of the plate, clearly a remnant of the dragon-python phantom from earlier.

He suddenly turned around, his golden eyes piercing through the wind and snow as he looked towards the mountain peak.

"I see..."

Thirty miles away, in an ice cave, Shanqi sat slumped among ice pillars.

His left arm was severed at the shoulder, and purple energy swirled around the wound.

The severed limbs are transforming into small snakes and swimming into the ice crevice. This is the last life-saving technique of the Aisin Gioro family - "Dragon Shedding".

"Chen Qi..."

He chewed the ginseng pill hidden in his tooth socket with resentment.

"Once I obtain the land beneath Changbai Mountain..."

The ice cave suddenly shook violently.

Shanqi was horrified to discover that the purple aura that had seeped into the ice was flowing backward.

Even more terrifying, the light spots of the Big Dipper gradually appeared on the ice wall.

"impossible!"

He struggled to crawl toward the cave entrance.

"This place is clearly protected by the dragon energy of the founding ancestor..."

Outside the cave, amidst the wind and snow, seven golden lights shone in accordance with the direction of the Big Dipper.

Chen Qi's voice pierced through the ice, causing ice crystals to fall in a flurry.

“Shanqi, do you know what a true Gonglong Qi Formation is?”

The giant golden hand tore through the air, pressing down on Shanqi with overwhelming force.

The runes flowing on his palm, each line containing the power to suppress heaven and earth.

"The Qian position shifts to the Kun position!"

Shanqi gave a low shout, and the Qimen formation beneath his feet suddenly began to rotate.

His figure blurred just as the golden giant palm was about to touch him, and the next moment he appeared twenty feet away in the Kun position.

The ground where they had been standing was slapped open by a golden palm, leaving a three-foot-deep palm print with clean, knife-cut edges.

"You dodged quickly."

Chen Qi stood in the center of the Qimen Dunjia formation, his eyes gleaming with golden light.

He formed a hand seal, and the entire Qimen Dunjia formation began to rotate. As the four plates intersected, the energy of heaven and earth was forcibly rewritten.

Shanqi's forehead was beaded with cold sweat, and his fingers rapidly made calculations.

The Kun position generates Earth, hence the Earth River Chariot!

Six ancient copper coins flew out from his sleeve, arranged in a special formation in the air, and then embedded themselves in the ground.

The earth trembled, and a giant dragon formed from pure earth elemental power burst forth from the ground.

The earth dragon was ten zhang long, with distinct scales and armor, and it opened its mouth to bite Chen Qi.

"interesting."

Chen Qi's lips curled slightly, his feet remained still, but his right hand suddenly pressed down.

The Qimen Dunjia formation rotated again, and the Kun position instantly shifted to Chen Qi's feet.

The ground shook violently, and a giant hand made of rocks emerged from the earth, its five fingers spread wide enough to be the size of a house, and precisely grabbed the neck of the charging earth dragon.

"broken."

With a single, casual word from Chen Qi, the stone hand tightened.

The earth dragon let out a silent wail as its body crumbled inch by inch, turning into countless clods of earth that crashed to the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.

Chen Qi's voice could be heard clearly through the smoke and dust.

"In this game, I am the direction, I am the fortune. Time, space, and the interaction of the four elements are all determined by me."

Before he finished speaking, the stone hand rose again and slammed down on Shanqi with the force of Mount Tai pressing down.

"Damn it!"

Shanqi hurriedly threw in more copper coins, attempting to form a defensive formation.

However, as soon as the copper coin left his hand, he felt the Qimen formation shift again, and the carefully calculated formation immediately became disordered and its power greatly reduced.

0 ······Requesting flowers··· ·········

Boom!

The stone hand struck down, and the ground cracked.

Shanqi tumbled out from between his fingers in a disheveled state, his Taoist robe torn in several places by the pebbles.

He was horrified. His Earth River Chariot had been broken in the hands of the other party. Chen Qi's control over Qimen Dunjia was far beyond his expectations.

"Nine Dragon Sons, emerge!"

Shanqi gritted his teeth and patted the brocade pouch at his waist. Nine jet-black spheres shot out and hovered around him.

Each black sphere is engraved with an ancient character, emanating an eerie aura.

... 0 ....

"National Treasury Treasures?"

Chen Qi squinted and paused to observe.

"Indeed, this is the Nine Dragon Sons, a relic from the previous dynasty, specially designed to shatter the golden light of arrogant fools like you!"

With a sinister grin, Shanqi activated the ritual implements.

"Baxia!"

The black sphere engraved with the words "Baxia" suddenly expanded, becoming the size of a millstone in the blink of an eye, its weight increasing a hundredfold, and it crashed towards Chen Qi with a whistling sound.

At the same time, the other two black spheres also lit up.

The Suanni spewed out thick black smoke, instantly enveloping an area of ​​ten zhang in radius.

"Chaofeng" then transformed into a blur, moving so fast that it was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

Fire, smoke, and flashing blades intertwined to form a net, completely covering the area where Chen Qi was located.

"Little tricks."

A disdainful voice came from within the black smoke.

He reached out with his right hand and precisely caught the flying black ball, "Chasing Wind," by applying force with all five fingers.

boom!

The black sphere shattered instantly, and the runes inside dimmed immediately.

"How can it be?!"

Shanqi's eyes widened. The black ball was made of a special material that even a heavy hammer could not damage it in the slightest.

Chapter 258 A Secret Maneuver

Chen Qi slowly emerged from the black smoke, his body shimmering with golden light, completely unharmed.

With a casual wave of his left hand, he slapped away the oncoming "Baxia" black ball, sending it flying deep into the distant mountain wall.

"A lion-shaped ball? Just crush it."

He flashed and appeared in front of the "Suanni" ball that was spewing black smoke.

His right hand pierced the black smoke, accurately grasped the sphere, and with a slight force—snap!

The black smoke stopped abruptly, and the sphere shattered into fragments that fell through the fingers.

Shanqi's face turned ashen, and he hurriedly made a hand seal to recall the remaining black spheres.

But Chen Qi was faster, his figure flashing continuously, striking each of the "607" black balls with a palm strike.

Bang bang bang!

Six consecutive explosions destroyed the remaining black balls.

Shanqi didn't even have time to activate their special abilities.

"now you."

Before Chen Qi finished speaking, he had already appeared in front of Shan Qi, his golden palm whistling through the air.

Snapped!

The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the valley.

Shanqi was sent flying more than ten zhang away, crashing into three large trees before finally stopping.

He coughed up blood, the purple aura protecting his chest flickered, and a jade pendant, a defensive magical artifact, shattered.

"Cough cough..."

Shanqi struggled to get up; half of his face was swollen and he had lost two teeth.

A flash of resentment crossed his eyes, but then he suddenly smiled strangely.

Just as Chen Qi was about to give chase, he suddenly felt a weight on his body, as if a massive object was pressing down on him.

Breathing became difficult, and every step felt like walking through mud.

"Ok?"

He frowned slightly, his celestial soul half-entering the realm of spiritual connection, and his inner vision was activated.

Behind Shanqi, the phantom of a giant red python, nearly a hundred meters long, could be seen appearing and disappearing.

The red mist exhaled by the giant python was subtly transferring the surrounding feng shui energy to Chen Qi.

"Good means."

Chen Qi expressed his sincere admiration.

"A feigned attack on the magical artifact, while secretly advancing another attack."

"Hahaha!"

Shanqi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed triumphantly.

"It's too late to discover this now! This Crimson Python Qi Transformation Technique is a secret skill I've cultivated for thirty years!"

As he finished speaking, dark red snakes began to emerge from Chen Qi's body.

These creatures, formed from pure Qi, coiled around his limbs, tightening continuously.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of red snakes covered Chen Qi's entire body, merging into one and transforming into a giant python that tightly coiled around him.

ka ka ka-

Cracks appeared on the golden light on Chen Qi's body, and pieces peeled off.

"Give me a sigh!"

Shanqi pressed his hands down in a mudra.
