Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1469: Chapter 859: Opening the Floodgates!

At least seven or eight of them, large and small, launched a surprise attack.

As she tilted her head, several afterimages flashed, and with a swing of her hand and a step of her foot, one black shadow after another was kicked flying. When they fell, they revealed a form vastly different from the beasts of this world. They were larger, possessed a wild appearance, and were suited for both water and land. With sharp teeth and claws, they fit the characteristics of ancient barbaric creatures. However, they were very strong. After being efficiently cut down to the ground by Sui Yi, deep pits were left behind. With a flip, they leaped up, roaring angrily at Sui Yi.

Standing atop a peach blossom tree, Sui Yi’s gaze shifted, watching them.

With just one glance, indifferent and emotionless, these exotic beasts seemed frightened, their legs stepped back, and they turned to run wildly towards Yi Dao and Electric Eel.

Obviously, these exotic beasts were much weaker compared to the Gu Sculpture, equivalent to a 3S entity, but there were many of them, and their thick skin made even Black Robe and others secretly worried.

Sui Yi’s gaze moved from these ferocious beasts to the Viper at the bridgehead.

"Cage?" she wondered softly.

The Viper had no intention of explaining, only smiling ominously, "The millennium deadline doesn’t depend on your whims. This last year that can’t be passed, is you."

As the voice fell.

Swish!

A black shadow suddenly shot out from the water!

It was a tail, forked and with a hook, that suddenly hooked towards Sui Yi!

Sui Yi’s toes pushed off to another peach blossom branch side. The hooked tail came fiercely, but her reaction was rather calm, as she leaped onto another peach tree branch. The hook swung past her body, along with the snake body, as thick as an ox waist, that passed through her line of sight.

The snake scales gleamed with water droplets, dark green with black patches; clearly, this was the snake’s tail, while its head... had a bit of a giant lizard-like appearance, with small tentacles on its mouth.

"In the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas: Zhongshan Scripture’, ’Flowing eastward into the Great River, there are many strange snakes therein,’ with Jin·Guo Pu’s annotation: ’Now in Yongchang County, there are Hooked Snakes, several zhang long, forked tails, that grab people, cattle, and horses on the bank from the water to devour them.’

So, it’s a Hooked Snake.

From a distance, Mo Ke frowned at the sight, Hooked Snake?

This thing is formidable, so...

Sui Yi turned her face to find the snakehead right in front of her. The snake opened its mouth, releasing a strong stench of decaying smell.

For humans, it would be deadly poisonous, causing rapid decay.

But to Sui Yi, the smell wasn’t particularly threatening.

Her eyes slightly curled, reaching into the snake’s mouth, her hand grasped a venomous fang, pulling and swinging...

The snake body, over twenty meters long, was pulled out of the water, flipping over...

Boom!

It slammed onto the ground.

The snake’s body twisted, its tail swayed... like a scythe, it uprooted dozens of peach trees, twisting them into a ball, and bombarded it down towards Sui Yi.

Sui Yi lightly tapped her foot, leaped out, trying to make a move towards the Viper, but...

A giant leopard emerged from beneath the water, its seven or eight meters long tail whipped towards Sui Yi like a steel whip, then flicked!

Boom!

Sui Yi was flung away...

The leopard landed, turned its face, but it had a human face with a leopard’s body, with a bull’s ear and one eye, and a long tail. Opening its mouth with a roar, it made the branches of the peach trees in the Peach Blossom Source quiver.

"In the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas (Book of Northern Songs), the Fat Lang God, its beast being immensely powerful, is the exotic beast Zhu Jian, damn, how many monsters are kept below this river?"

I have to say, although The Gate had established overseas roots hundreds of years ago, their inheritance of domestic culture remained excellent. For example, Yi Dao could immediately refer to scholarship from the Classic of Mountains and Seas to verify the origin of this terrifying human-faced leopard, though the foreign folks present couldn’t understand. Meanwhile, Mo Du and several Family Heads naturally knew that the mythical beasts mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were generally extremely powerful, with Gu Sculpture in the front, and then the Hooked Snake, Zhu Jian, and what else would follow?

Except for the Gu Sculpture being entangled by Ye Zui and Yi Dao, due to the high biological specifications, the Hooked Snake and Zhu Jian were not as intimidated by Sui Yi as other exotic beasts, and instead, grew increasingly hostile towards her, roaring as they pounced...

The tall and sturdy Zhu Jian was immensely powerful, with a whip of the tail that could carve a groove one meter wide and three meters deep into the ground, while the Hooked Snake’s tail swung, lifting large patches of peach blossom trees in bombardment!

Such terrifying power made the masters of the Military Department in helicopters sweat coldly.

Damn, are these prehistoric monsters?

The leopard, comparable to seven or eight elephants in size! And the monstrous snake over twenty meters long...

The rampage of two 4S-level prehistoric creatures, the scene was too terrifying!

The chaos on the screen fell into the eyes of the subsequent observers of various forces.

"So formidable, The Gate’s Yi Dao and Ye Zui barely balanced against a Gu Sculpture, and this Sui Yi being able to restrain two 4S-level prehistoric exotic beasts alone is already quite terrifying."

"But as of now... the Prison Chief of Central Prison seems to be over there as well..."

As one person brought up this point, several others showed strange expressions.

She’s over there?

Maybe not.

Dodging attacks from two exotic beasts, Sui Yi maneuvered back and forth between the peach trees and rivers, quickly landing on a branch.

The Viper’s disdain and composure were still evident in front of her.

"Is your power only so much? It seems only enough to play with me."

Indeed, the Viper’s earlier efforts and resistance were clearly just playful, that much was undeniable.

"But the time is about up... It’s time to deal with you..."

Because a smoke signal had been raised near the mansion, implying... success! Joy flickered in her eyes as she unleashed her killing intent towards Sui Yi.

— Upon confirming that Sui Yi’s strength was indeed only at the peak of 4S.

Kill!

Zhu Jian and Hooked Snake attacked simultaneously from the sides, while right ahead, Viper crossed her hands, and suddenly, tens of thousands of live snakes entwined to form a snake blade behind her. The snake body became the substance, venom was the temper, stretching over dozens of meters, she wielded it across her back.

It was a weapon condensed from an energy body and the power of will.

As Viper’s hands swept downward.

Buzz!

The sword descended.

Void-breaking level.

Righteousness does not suppress evil, the Evil Path is rampant!

Die!

The sword fell, and all the beasts roared in unison.

Ten Thousand Snakes Toward the Clouds.

"It’s indeed void-breaking," Yi Dao exchanged glances with Ye Zui.

And at this moment... that sword fell.

Sui Yi’s left hand pressed against the back of her right hand, the Beak of the Golden Crow sliced through the skin on her middle finger, drawing a drop of fresh blood, her gaze slightly lowered.

The oppressive golden light, as her finger lifted, pointed.

Exploded.

Nine terrifying and magnificent golden torrents surged, like a knife, like a sword, and like a golden dragon.

One dragon against ten thousand snakes...

Break break break!

The Ten Thousand Snakes Sword tore apart by the dragon claws, the small snakes scattered and exploded, leaving marks on the ground.

The sword of the Viper wasn’t a sword, it was actually a snake, multiple snakes, each a deadly threat.

After being smashed apart, the dragon’s furious claw pressed down on the Viper.

Boom!

The broken bridge collapsed, the Viper pressed into the water surface by a claw.

The water burst violently!

The golden dragon faded, the Viper twisted its body in the water, somewhat in a mess, but not dead.

A scourge of nine hundred and ninety-nine years, not so easy to kill.

In comparison, those like Lang Fanyun and others in the Lost Lands at void-breaking level didn’t have such strong vitality.

But she lost.

Defeated by Sui Yi in one move.

The void-breaking level power frightened everyone.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

For the Viper hadn’t reached her limit, and neither had Sui Yi.

Sui Yi heard the Viper’s low hiss: "You’ve been hiding your strength all along!"

"You are allowed to play, but I’m not?"

Sui Yi’s eyes were calm, her finger hooking, the Magnetic Sensation had long slipped outside the Peach Blossom Source, directly into that house.

Foreseeing the opportunity.

She had already seen the end of the massacre... that person still won after all.

She entered that secret chamber.

The Magnetic Sensation couldn’t enter, there was a force obstructing.

What a pity.

"Moreover, while you’re stalling for time, who’s to say I’m not waiting for an opportunity?"

The Viper’s face froze.

"You mean..."

Sui Yi pointed to the billowing smoke rising in the direction of the house, "Since the item is already in hand, it’s time to see individual divine skills..."

"Although I don’t know what that thing actually is."

These words from Sui Yi were truly infuriating, causing the Viper, who always thought herself certain of victory, to lose the calm she had nurtured for years. Rising from the water, she opened her mouth, and her snake tongue flickered: "You can’t kill me..."

After speaking, the water beneath her suddenly churned, with heat and a bloody aura.

That crimson bloody aura surged from the depths of the river... it seemed like a massive gate had opened...

Downstream, Su Zimu and Flower Demon heard Gong Jiu’s suppressed and fearful voice coming from the walkie-talkie.

"Zimu, there’s a sluice gate at the riverbed here, with many patterns on it, and eight latches, this should be the array plate... I’ll send you a picture."

Su Zimu soon saw the picture, and as he looked closely, his face suddenly changed dramatically.

"Gong Jiu, have you already started opening the array plate?"

"Halfway open already, why?"

Su Zimu’s mouth was dry, speaking somewhat difficultly: "I’m afraid to tell you... this array plate is a two-way gate, one connects to the Peach Blossom Barrier, and the other... connects to another place. To break out of this Peach Blossom Barrier, you must find the correct latch to open. If opened incorrectly... it won’t be the escape gate, but a gate to that place."

Gong Jiu: "Perhaps you could remind me, what place exactly is this...."

Before finishing the question, she and Ye Zixu smelled a terrifying bloody scent.

Wafting from upstream.

Mixed with the unique musk of beasts...

Ye Zixu and Gong Jiu’s faces turned pale with shock, what is this?

The water was moving! Flowing backward, as if drawn upstream...

The strong reverse current nearly swept the two away, they clung to the edge of the array plate, but the speed of the flow... when Ye Zixu saw Gong Jiu’s fingers peeling away from the array plate one by one...

Not good!

Splash!

Gong Jiu was swept back by the current, Ye Zixu quickly grabbed her arm, and the two were swept into the current together...

And by the riverbank, Su Zimu and Flower Demon stared in shock as the deep river rapidly reduced its water level, all the water being drawn upstream...

And in the eyes of Nie Wanqing and others, beneath the bridge upstream, there was a huge whirlpool... there must be a large hole below, causing the river to pour in like a sluice gate... in the blink of an eye, exposing a huge sluice gate.
