Purple Mist Dao Master

Chapter 696 - 428 Sudden Change!_2

"Foolish!""Short-sighted!"

"Useless!"

Fu Manduo cursed in his heart.

What’s the use of killing an Eight-winged Centipede? Other than getting dozens more Fire Bud Crystals, does it help the situation at all?

Fire-Eyed Golden Ape!

Fire-Eyed Golden Ape!

The Fire-Eyed Golden Ape with War God level bloodline is the real threat!

Do they even understand!!!

Fu Manduo was so angry he could die, but he still had to placate Yan Chuan and Chen Ze: "Don’t bother with the other Beast Kings, follow me and Brother Baili to encircle and kill the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape first!"

Fu Manduo bullied the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape for not understanding human language, loudly plotting, calling for Baili Qingfeng, Yan Chuan, and Chen Ze, and then turned his head to charge at the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape.

"Kill!"

"Kill kill!"

Baili Qingfeng, Yan Chuan, and Chen Ze followed closely, waving flags and shouting, exuding killing intent.

"Four against one!"

"Hopes to slay it!"

"At that time, bringing back the corpse of a Fire-Eyed Golden Ape with War God level bloodline would be an immense achievement! Selling the news of the ’Moth Vine’ for a good price, I will be rich!"

Fu Manduo was in full force.

Kill kill kill!

First, kill the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape!

Next, kill Yan Chuan and Chen Ze!

Then kill Baili Qingfeng!

Kill them all!

Leave no one alive!

Fu Manduo mounted ’Wuzhiqi’, standing in the water, took the lead, and charged at the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape.

With Yan Chuan and Chen Ze, two foolish teammates, she had to lead by example.

Boom!

The Fire-Eyed Golden Ape was not to be trifled with; it grabbed an iron staff from underwater, stood on two feet and struck at Fu Manduo’s head—

"The power is not bad."

"But the moves are too crude!"

Fu Manduo disdained the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape’s moves; she revealed a blade in her ’Wuzhiqi’, its blade light flashing, ready to deflect the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape’s iron staff.

But at this moment—

"Now!"

Wang Zhengyi seized the moment and delivered a ’Spiritual Shock’ to Fu Manduo inside ’Wuzhiqi’.

"Hiss!"

Fu Manduo’s heart skipped a beat—

Danger danger danger!

In a duel between experts, the slightest mistake could lead to death, not to mention under the attack of an Innate Fifteenth Layer Fire-Eyed Golden Ape.

Without thinking, Fu Manduo directly used one of the strongest Heavenly Secret Books below Fu Family True Skill, the "Dragon Cauldron Towering Skill", a culmination of forty years of hard work, with more than twenty years of accumulation after Proving Dao, instantly erupting one of the three ’Dragon Cauldrons’—

Dragon Cauldron!

Can tower!

This is an extremely strong defensive secret skill!

’Dragon Cauldron’ is somewhat similar to the ’True Seed’ of "Divine Light Scripture" and "Nine Yang Divine Skill", usually condensed and crucially used to substitute for the ’True Essence Burst’.

At this moment, though her heart ached, Fu Manduo erupted with a hard-earned ’Dragon Cauldron’—

Dang~

The great staff struck down, the three-legged Dragon Cauldron held firm, and around Fu Manduo, a three-legged cauldron seemed to appear, with a black dragon flying around the cauldron’s body.

Strong!

Fu Manduo’s move was extremely strong!

But—

"Baili—"

Fu Manduo hurriedly called for Baili Qingfeng’s assistance—

"Golden Wind Fourteen, Evil Lord in the Wind!"

Baili Qingfeng indeed acted, but his sword from the west struck not the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape, but Fu Manduo.

"Baili Qingfeng!"

"How dare you betray your master!"

Fu Manduo never expected this.

But what she didn’t expect was even more—

"Shaoshang! Shangyang! Zhongchong! Guan Chong! Shaochong! Shaoze!"

Yan Chuan unleashed the Six Meridian Divine Sword, six strands of sword energy wove into a sword net, arranging into a sword array, making a surprise attack.

And then there was Chen Ze—

"Wandering the World!"

"Raise the table!"

"Miao Bi Shenghua!"

The Four Swords and Two Sabers performed "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship" and "Yin Yang Taiji Blade and Sword Joint Attack Technique", blade light rushing like a waterfall, sword shadows like a river, sweeping grandly forward.

Baili Qingfeng!

Yan Chuan!

Chen Ze!

The three of them defected!

Actually cooperating with the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape to jointly attack Fu Manduo.

"Good good good!"

Fu Manduo laughed angrily.

She laughed out of extreme anger, appearing deranged—

"You will all die!!"

"I swear by the name of the War God of the Fu Family!!!"

Fu Manduo was utterly furious, in the moment between life and death, she erupted the remaining two ’Dragon Cauldrons’ inside her, and even detonated all her True Yuan—

Explode explode explode!

Fu Manduo truly used all her trump cards, with her original cultivation being at the Innate Nine Layers, this explosion after explosion surged nearly to the Third-Rank Peak level, finally allowing her to perfectly wield ’Wuzhiqi’ and fully unleash her combat power.

But she erupted not to fight to the death with a few, purely to escape for her life.

"Unprecedented burst!"

"Five-Transformation Dragon Movement!"

Fu Manduo seemed to transform into a dragon, soaring straight into the sky at an absurd speed.

But—

"Explode!"

"Explode!!"

In this instant, Yan Chuan decisively detonated the ’Divine Light True Seed’ and ’Nine Yang True Seed’ inside him, his cultivation instantly skyrocketing, then wielding ’Jiazi Tai Sui’, holding a ’Fifth Rank White Horn Trumpet’, he opened his mouth and roared—

Wuwuwu~

Both True Seeds erupted with full power!

Second Rank Divine Martial Jiazi Tai Sui!

Fifth-Rank Exotic Treasure White Horn Trumpet!

In addition to the pinnacle "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar"!

This combo was nearly Yan Chuan’s strongest offensive, against which even a third-rank Divine General might struggle to withstand, but against Fu Manduo, who was likewise bursting with full power, it still seemed insufficient.

Five-Transformation Dragon Movement!

Unstoppable!

Fu Manduo charged unstoppably to the island’s sky, the next moment she was about to break through—

"It’s over!"

Baili Qingfeng and Chen Ze, along with the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape, pursued side by side, but all were unable to catch up, Baili Qingfeng felt his heart sink, knowing this was trouble.

Failing to assassinate a Fu Family Divine General, once Fu Manduo escaped and returned to the Fu Family, he himself would be finished, and the hundreds of years of the Baili Family’s foundation in Nanxiong City would be destroyed!

It’s all over!

Looking at Chen Ze again.

Looking at the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape again.

All were powerless, only able to watch as Fu Manduo escaped.

Including Yan Chuan, running out of tricks.

Including Wang Zhengyi, whose Spiritual Shock was no longer effective.

Fu Manduo was about to escape—

"You all!

Prepare to die!"

However.

At this moment.

Perhaps due to Yan Chuan’s ghostly cry, seemingly even the Moth Vine was startled, and the vine in the sky suddenly writhed, just as Fu Manduo tore open the vine ready to squeeze out, suddenly the vine tightened—

"Eh?"

Fu Manduo’s smile froze on her face, and immediately, the ’Wuzhiqi’ on her body instantly collapsed, her entire body immediately exposed and strangled by the vine.

Ah!

A miserable scream!

An explosion!

Just like that—

Suddenly—

Fu Manduo!

The Kongsang Water God, one of the Fourteen Water Gods of the Fu Family, perished on Moth Island, leaving no corpse!

"This—"

Baili Qingfeng did not expect such a sudden change.

With Fu Manduo’s death, he should have clapped his hands in delight, but thinking of Fu Manduo’s death, Baili Qingfeng couldn’t bring himself to smile.

Yan Chuan actually held an indifferent attitude towards whether Fu Manduo could escape. His foundation was not in Hunxi Royal City; at worst, he could abandon Nanyue Lake. With the Fifteen States of Great Yan as a springboard, his stage was vast, inherently different from Baili Qingfeng and these local Divine Generals with inconveniences moving between various royal cities and nations.

However.

Fu Manduo died!

And, died terrifyingly!

"Moth Vine?"

"It actually kills!?"

This shock was extraordinary.

Yan Chuan and others dared to enter Moth Island to seize Fire Bud Crystals mainly because the ’Moth Vine’ had not fully awakened its intelligence, and its main attention was underground, in the subterranean magma earth fire, having no time to care about them, the small insects.

This is what many records described.

Though trading physical goods with the Mountain and Sea Realm via ’Heavenly Ladder City’ was difficult, information exchange was relatively frequent, and understanding of the ’Moth Vine’, even in remote places like Hunxi Royal City, was not uncommon.

Neither Wang Zhengyi nor Baili Qingfeng had ever heard of a Moth Vine killing in their knowledge.

Moth Vine!

Harmless to humans and animals!

That is the consensus!

But this time, the Moth Vine they encountered actually killed someone. Though it killed their enemy, this action, this change, truly left them uneasy.

"Should we leave?"

Baili Qingfeng’s voice was bitter.

Leave?

Yan Chuan gave a bitter smile.

Fu Manduo’s shattered body lay not far away; who would dare to leave now?

Don’t you fear becoming the second Fu Manduo?

Don’t you fear being crushed by the Moth Vine?

Yan Chuan dared not move at all.
