Free Web NovelChapter 485: Chapter 81: Shennong Battles the Drought Fiend, Capturing the Traitor
At this moment, the temperature of heaven and earth began to rise, and even the ’frozen’ objects within Zhenyi City started to melt and burn.
"True Immortal?"
Where Jiu Li was, Duan Xiu slightly raised his eyebrow, sensing this power, a True Immortal had descended.
"Looks like it’s that little girl, Drought Demoness." Shennong’s gaze fell on the blue-clad figure descending from the sky.
The power to burn everything came from this Drought Demoness.
Once the Drought Demoness appeared, she did not attack but burned the space around the fleeing soldiers.
To teleport them all to the rear.
"I’ll go. I happen to have some old ties with her."
Shennong didn’t wait for Celestial Dao Demon Venerable and Duan Xiu to speak; he stepped forward after speaking.
The Drought Demoness looked at the dead and wounded soldiers within Zhenyi City, with a face full of sorrow, as she recognized some of them.
The anger in her eyes was already uncontrollable, although she could not massacre beings below immortals, those Human Immortals of Jiu Li should not be left alive.
In the next moment,
an infinite burning intent appeared, she ’Enlightened her True Self’, combining several Laws: ’Burning’, ’Catastrophe’, and ’Undying’.
She promoted it to the ’Dao of the Drought Fiend’.
Under the expansion of ’Catastrophe’, her ’Burning’ quickly enveloped all the Human Immortals of Jiu Li.
At this time,
green intents appeared on many Human Immortals covered by her power, resisting her ’Dao of the Drought Fiend’ that could incinerate them in an instant.
"Little girl Drought Demoness, long time no see."
Shennong stepped among them, looking at the Drought Demoness in blue, smiling.
The Drought Demoness looked at Shennong, her expression somewhat complicated, after all, she had met Shennong before.
Now standing in opposition, her feelings were naturally complex.
"Grandpa Shennong. Is Grandpa Shennong going to stand on the side of Jiu Li too?"
In those days, when Shennong visited Youxiong incognito, and the Drought Demoness was Xuanyuan’s daughter.
Shennong, by trying to understand Xuanyuan’s disposition, naturally had contact with her.
People often behaved with extraordinary kindness on the outside, but once it involved those close to them.
They showed their true selves, irritable, unbearable.
This inconsistency was why Shennong wouldn’t choose such people as successors.
So the relationship between the Drought Demoness and Shennong was quite good, and after seeing Shennong as the Common Lord.
The Drought Demoness admired Shennong much, and learning her father was esteemed by Shennong, she was excited about his impending greatness.
But in the end, she never expected Shennong to join Jiu Li.
"As the Common Lord, it was my bias that hastily made the decision, I only superficially understood Jiu Li."
Shennong for the first time admitted his error in public, being too hasty, or perhaps he had personal motives back then.
After all, they all practiced Immortal Techniques.
But as a Common Lord, impartiality is required; whether in cultivation of Immortal Techniques or Witchcraft, it’s essentially different powers within the Human Race.
To include so-called Dao Lineages in the Common Lord’s judgment is unworthy of the Common Lord’s name.
"Saying more is pointless."
The Drought Demoness nodded, a True Immortal having ’Enlightened her True Self’ would uphold her beliefs.
Shennong’s ambition was to choose a Common Lord who could protect the Human Race.
Whereas the Drought Demoness’s aspiration was merely to unify the Human Race under Youxiong.
In the next moment,
the two disappeared from everyone’s sight, just like the previous conflict between Shennong and Duan Xiu.
The battle of True Immortals, even the slightest fluctuation, was enough to severely wound a Human Immortal.
Human Immortals needed every method to break space, but in the hands of a True Immortal, it could be broken anywhere.
"Could it be, the Drought Demoness is still alive and joined the Abyss..."
Shen Fei’s gaze shifted from the two who vanished, he never worried about Shennong’s strength.
Previously being unable to defeat Duan Xiu was due to Shennong being seriously injured; he had to live to witness the emergence of the next Common Lord.
Thus, he had to admit defeat.
But now he’s recovered, even Drought Demoness’s breakthrough to True Immortal owes much to Guang Chengzi’s efforts.
After all, having just entered the True Immortal Realm, her understanding of the ’Dao’ definitely could not surpass Shennong.
Shen Fei pondered more about the Drought Demoness he saw in the Corpse Stiff Abyss, that Drought Demoness was also a Human Immortal.
Additionally, her Dao was exceptionally familiar; according to the Tier Ten Yu Jiang guarding there, this Drought Demoness merely possessed some bloodline of a Drought Demoness.
But this Drought Demoness was part of the Abyss, could it be that Xuanyuan’s daughter was now high up in the Abyss?
Otherwise, how could her bloodline be in the Abyss.
"Yu Jiang..."
Shen Fei now had some understanding of Wu Xia’s Tier Ten, this Yu Jiang was probably Wu Xia’s aristocratic family’s Tier Ten.
However, previous Tier Ten conflicts were not so obvious below.
Besides, given the situation, Wu Xia’s Tier Ten, except for Meng Zhengguo who directly controlled the Breaking Abyss Army, the rest were just responsible for guarding the Abyss.
’At least Wu Xia’s Tier Ten prioritizes Wu Xia’s safety.’
’Moreover, the Breaking Abyss Army certainly isn’t just Righteous Judgment and Meng Zhengguo, they merely directly control the army’s power.
The rest are probably just national pillars.’
Shen Fei noted this point, previously he knew about the Drought Demoness, but it now seemed that the Drought Demoness on Blue Star had ties with the Drought Demoness from the Great Wilderness.
If they could find the Drought Demoness, perhaps Shen Fei could learn what truly happened to the Divine Dynasty.
And currently, the Great Wilderness’s state, whether before or after the Divine Dynasty’s destruction.
These remained mysteries for Shen Fei.
Without the pressure of the Drought Demoness, the battle between Human Immortals continued.
But soon, the first breakthrough point appeared, the first Human Immortal to engage.
Li Mu.
He himself faced the joint efforts of Can Gang and Han Ting, and his Law was ’General’.
While the soldiers were complete, he could only suppress Can Gang with no chance of retaliation.
But as it began, so it shall end.
Now without the Youxiong soldiers providing him strength, even with the support of Profound Lady and Ma Shihuang.
He still couldn’t withstand the alliance of Can Gang and Han Ting.
In an instant,
just slightly slower, he was kicked flying by Han Ting’s horse legs, spewing blood in the air.
Can Gang quickly followed up, two giant pythons aimed to devour Li Mu.
But Li Mu suddenly vanished from the spot, and when Can Gang and Han Ting sensed his aura, it was already exceedingly far away.
"Escaping with the soldiers, indeed impressive!"
Han Ting nodded, the place where Li Mu vanished was the same where those soldiers had disappeared.
Li Mu had already proficiently mastered his Law.
As Li Mu was defeated, seeing this, the others could only go all out to push back their opponents.
Trying to escape using their own methods.
The Nine Heavens Profound Lady turned into mysterious light and vanished, while Women’s Festival confronted Ting Yao’s attack, shattered with a ’bang’, countless threads dancing in the air.
Chi Songzi turned into omnipresent clouds and rain, so much so that not even the Wind God and Rain Master could stop him.
But just as Ma Shihuang was about to escape, an extremely cold voice rang out.
"Freeze!"
Simultaneously, countless ice crystals appeared around Ma Shihuang, firmly locking the space and the multitude of factors, tangible and intangible, of the laws.
Even if Ma Shihuang wanted to escape through the laws, he couldn’t.
In this moment.
The rest could only watch as Ting Yao and others immediately surrounded Ma Shihuang.
Zhurong, with a hand of Zhurong True Fire, coldly said, "Do you still wish to flee?!"
