Chapter 441 The Wrath of Xuanwu
Chapter 441 The Wrath of Xuanwu
With a deafening roar, a shockwave spread out from the Eye of Chaos, even the rising clouds were dispersed along with it. Amidst the tremendous roar, the armor on one of Xiangliu's snake heads peeled off one by one, and crimson blood splattered all over its body.
Clearly, the snake head had lost its life force and slumped down from mid-air, crashing into the venomous swamp with a "bang," stirring up a whirlwind and huge waves. At this moment, Xiang Liu, covered in blood, looked like a demon god who had just crawled out of a hellish blood pool.
However, Xuanwu's rage was not extinguished. The giant snake on its body continued to writhe, launching deadly attacks on Xiangliu once again.
Meanwhile, with Xuanwu drawn away by Xiangliu, Qin Xiaochuan and the others immediately felt much less pressure. Guo Shiyi said, "I have another way to communicate with Xuanwu."
"What method?" Qin Xiaochuan asked curiously.
Guo Shiyi slowly said, "Don't forget that I am a disciple of the Wudang Sect, and Zhenwu the Great is the main deity worshipped by our Wudang Sect. Back then, after our patriarch Zhang Sanfeng dreamed of Zhenwu the Great imparting his teachings on Wudang Mountain, he not only comprehended the Wudang Sect's ultimate skills, but also gained the secret method of communicating with Zhenwu the Great. Only the core disciples of the Wudang Sect can master this secret method."
"Then you..." Qin Xiaochuan asked hopefully.
"I was very fortunate that after we won the Asian Supernatural Abilities Exchange Competition, my master passed on this secret technique to me," Guo Shiyi said proudly.
"Then you'd better hurry up and explain the purpose of our trip to your god, otherwise we'll be in trouble again once he comes to his senses," Qin Xiaochuan urged.
"Okay, I'll start now. I need to concentrate during this process, so I can't think about anything else. You have to be careful," Guo Shiyi carefully instructed.
Qin Xiaochuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will absolutely not let you get hurt in the slightest."
So Guo Shiyi sat on Kaiming's back, formed hand seals, and used the Wudang School's secret technique, the True Martial Spirit Communication Technique.
Guo Shiyi felt herself sinking into a vast expanse of white mist. Within that mist appeared a dark blue Xuanwu figure, incredibly tall. Standing before it, Guo Shiyi felt as insignificant as an ant, like a believer standing before the Leshan Giant Buddha.
"Disciple pays respects to the Ancestral Master, the True Martial Emperor." Guo Shiyi knelt devoutly before the figure of Xuanwu.
"Are you a disciple of the Wudang Sect? Why are you bothering me here?" A majestic yet angry voice descended from the sky, enveloping Guo Shiyi and making her feel as if a mountain was pressing down on her from above.
Facing the oppressive aura of the True Martial Emperor, Guo Shiyi showed no fear and spoke clearly and logically: "This disciple is indeed a disciple of the Wudang Sect. My master is the current head of the Wudang Sect. This disciple has come here to deal with the calamity of future demonic beasts wreaking havoc on the human world. Inspired by the Goddess Nuwa, I am preparing to revive the Jianmu tree. Also, I have been instructed by the Heavenly Dao to come here to find the whereabouts of the Breath Soil. I dare not disturb the Ancestor. It was actually the ancient evil gods Fuyou and Xiangliu who disturbed the Ancestor. We just happened to run into them here."
"I see," said the True Martial Emperor, understanding the situation. His anger subsided, and he continued, "Xiang Liu's purpose in this trip is to retrieve the Undying Raging Wave suppressed beneath the Breath Soil. This object is the manifestation of Gonggong's divine consciousness. It was with this object that Gonggong caused the great flood that nearly destroyed the world. Today, they are retrieving it, surely to stir up trouble once again. This is a calamity for humanity, and you must find a way to stop him."
"Disciple understands. That is precisely why I have come to explain the misunderstanding to you, Master. We will do our utmost to stop their conspiracy," Guo Shiyi said.
"I was ambushed by Xiang Liu and Fu You just now, and my energy was damaged. I am unable to exert my strength for the time being and cannot stop them. I will leave the rest to you and assist you from the side," Zhenwu Emperor added.
When Guo Shiyi recovered from her psychic state, Xuanwu had already stopped attacking Qin Xiaochuan and the others.
"It worked?" Qin Xiaochuan asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have already explained the purpose of our trip to Emperor Zhenwu, and I also learned about Fuyou and Xiangliu's conspiracy from him." Guo Shiyi said, repeating Emperor Zhenwu's words to Qin Xiaochuan.
"So that's how it is. No wonder it was such a coincidence to run into them here. Even without Emperor Zhenwu's instructions, we didn't intend to let them go." Qin Xiaochuan pondered, looking up at Xiang Liu, who was fighting in the distance. Xiang Liu was in a very bad state under Xuanwu's attack. Two of his nine heads had already lost their life force after being hit by Xuanwu. Judging from the situation, it seemed that there was no need for Qin Xiaochuan and the others to take action. Xiang Liu would be defeated sooner or later.
However, Xuanwu's power seemed to be almost exhausted. Xiangliu and Fuyou had been in the Eye of Chaos for many days. They trapped Xuanwu in the poisonous swamp, constantly consuming its spiritual power, and then used the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation to absorb its life force. In fact, they had already exhausted Xuanwu's vital energy. If Qin Xiaochuan and the others had not arrived in time, this ancient divine beast would have been doomed to have its life force drained by Fuyou and Xiangliu.
Qin Xiaochuan saw that the light of the dark blue phantom that had been enveloping Xuanwu was getting dimmer and dimmer, and knew that the opponent's spiritual power was about to run out. He then said to the others, "It's our turn. The matter that was interrupted earlier should be brought to a close now."
As he spoke, Qin Xiaochuan slapped Kaiming on the head, and Kaiming led him and Guo Shiyi towards Xiangliu, with Han Kexin following closely behind.
Xiang Liu clearly noticed Qin Xiaochuan and the others' actions. He used one of his heads to lift the floating creature from the ground and awaken it with his spiritual power, while the other heads continued to defend against the remaining attacks from Xuanwu.
"You should understand the situation now," Xiang Liu said to Fu You.
"It's a pity we haven't recovered to our peak condition, and we've also consumed too much spiritual energy because of besieging Xuanwu. Otherwise, we would never have lost to these lowly humans." Although Fuyou was still very weak, his voice was arrogant yet cold.
"There's no point in saying these things now. You need to make a decision about what to do next quickly," Xiang Liu said.
"Don't panic, we're not at our wits' end yet. These lowly humans dare to ruin our plans, I'll make them pay the price," Fuyou said with a cold laugh.
Fuyou's words did not reassure Xiangliu; instead, they made him even more agitated. He said, "What exactly are you thinking? Hurry up and say it. Don't waste time. In my current state, I can't hold out for much longer."
