Chapter 108: A Deadly Battle (To be continued)
"You dare say that my Great Qin Dynasty has perished?"
"Human, how dare you!"
The area around Lian's eyes was covered with bulging blood vessels, her face was contorted, her neck was stretched, and she raised her hands to her chest with her ten fingers bent like eagle claws.
Then, boundless true energy, like a sudden storm, burst forth from his body in an instant.
hum!
I rely on!
Taiyi sank in an instant until the sand reached his knees, and at the same time, he instinctively felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.
At the same time, the entire space, including the air and other objects, began to tremble, and everything became blurry.
"Is this all the power Lian possesses? This isn't even her true form, just a puppet she created!!!"
Taiyi gritted his teeth and persevered, channeling all his inner energy to resist. He slowly raised his head and looked at the lotus floating in the air. He couldn't help but think that the lotus in front of him was just a puppet.
The true Samantabhadra God—Lotus—is hidden in the innermost room of the Alchemy Palace, constantly guarding Xu Fu's body.
"Where the might of our Great Qin army points, none can prevail! Undefeated in a hundred battles, slaughtering millions! Our Great Qin's Qi cultivators overwhelm the six kingdoms and the twelve immortal palaces!!!"
"Emperor Ying Zheng, virtuous and humble like the Three Sovereigns, meritorious as the Five Emperors, twelve incarnations of the Heavenly Emperors suppressing the universe."
"Our Great Qin... is ordained by Heaven... and will live forever!" Completely disregarding the reactions around her, Lian withdrew her imposing aura, lowered her head, and slowly lowered her hands. In an incredulous tone, she whispered, "How dare you say it will perish?"
The grandmaster... even on his deathbed, was still thinking about going back to report...
In the end, did the Emperor still fail to achieve true harmony with the Dao...?
Lian closed her eyes, wanting an answer, but all she received in response was the continued sound of the waves.
Taiyi's eyes were also filled with complex emotions. Suddenly, he felt Lian's low spirits and understood her feelings.
For all the people of Qin, the First Emperor of All Time was a mythical figure, their sole source of faith.
No one in Qin could accept the claim that he had perished; even Lian, who had lived for a thousand years, would not believe it.
"Hmm? How can you, a barbarian from Japan, have such an expression? It's utterly ridiculous. Could it be that you witnessed the glorious era when my Great Qin unified China?"
When Lian opened her eyes, she was taken aback to see that Taiyi also looked somewhat forlorn. She couldn't understand why a Japanese man would act as if the affairs of China were related to him.
"Forehead......"
Damn, can I show my ID card?
Taiyi pursed his lips, his Adam's apple bobbing, but in the end he didn't offer any explanation.
There are some things that are better left unsaid.
To be honest, Taiyi never expected to actually go to the island.
According to the original plan, all criminals were to be arrested, and his three-dimensional attributes were to be pushed to over two thousand by early September.
In this instant of power conversion, one's health points will definitely reach 100,000.
Whether I can kill Lian is not guaranteed, but it's definitely enough to deal with the other celestial beings who are just tools. It also ensures that I can take advantage of the chaos to seize all the research data in Penglai's inner city and the external pills refined by the celestial beings.
As for what level it would take to defeat Lian, Taiyi couldn't really estimate it in his mind when the opponent unleashed her aura just now.
Even in the original story, when Huameimaru and Shuxian fought to the death with Ren, they were actually fighting against puppets.
The real lotus never showed itself; it was always by Xu Fu's side.
In other words, for the past few hundred years, the lotus's true form has been lying in bed directing everything.
Once they finally reach the cherry blossoms, they will transform everyone into external alchemical energy and resurrect Xu Fu.
"If that's the case, then Lian is the one who truly wins without lifting a finger."
"I am not capable of defeating such a being at the moment. I could avoid battle before, but now I have no choice but to fight with all my might."
Taiyi's gaze regained its resolve. He pulled his feet out of the sand, sheathed his sword, and prepared to draw it to meet his enemy.
There's no way he'll plead or beg anyone's help. Even if he reveals his identity, Lianxin won't let him off the hook.
The ultimate goal of Lian is to gather the essence of the world and reshape Xu Fu's soul.
The aura on Taiyi's body is definitely the best quality aura that Ren has encountered in the thousand years since arriving at Paradise Island, so it is impossible for her to let Taiyi go.
The best outcome would be to become like the Thief King in the original story, merging with plants and then being subjected to various forms of research.
"I don't want to become a vegetable..."
I glanced at the system; there were only 32 seconds left in the conversion time.
Behind them, in the sea, the small boat that Aya and Rantaro were in had not drifted far away.
How can I extricate myself unscathed?
I may be arrogant, but I'm not stupid.
The opponents she had encountered before were not even in the same league as Lian in front of her.
As for the lotus's attributes, Taiyi had no interest in checking them.
Muzan is a complete mystery, so why even bother looking at Ren?
"Human, it seems you know a lot, you even know the name of hibiscus. Stay here and cooperate with my research, and I may spare your life."
"otherwise......"
With a raised hand, a highly concentrated ball of true energy appeared in front of his palm. Although it was small, Taiyi had a premonition that if it were to hit him, he would definitely die on the spot.
"I'm sorry, I cannot stay here."
click!
Futsu-no-Mitama was drawn from its sheath. Taiichi gripped the hilt tightly with his right hand, his body swelled several times in size in an instant, and all his true energy erupted as he swung his sword at Ren.
【Three Qi Traverse the Heavens - Metal - Severing the River of Oblivion】
As the entire Futsu-no-Mitama was unsheathed, white arcs of electricity shot out haphazardly in all directions.
Taiyi's essence, energy, and spirit merged into one, and the three energies twisted into a single, extremely powerful strike aimed at the lotus suspended in mid-air.
"What! Divine sense controlling Qi, the three elements united as one?" Lian pursed her lips tightly, staring wide-eyed at Taiyi. While shocked, true Qi shot out rapidly from her palm.
"To be able to harmonize and synchronize the three elements of water, fire, and metal, human, your talent is truly genius."
"But because of this, you must stay on this island!"
boom!
The massive arc-shaped sword energy collided with the true energy mass, creating a powerful energy explosion that further devastated the beach that had already been plowed.
Yellow sand filled the sky, trees were uprooted, and Zhu Jin, who had been watching from the sidelines, quickly retreated, shielding her face with one hand.
"How could a human possess strength comparable to that of a celestial being!"
Zhu Jin gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with jealousy, and clenched her other hand into a fist, making a cracking sound as she spoke.
Even after failing in his first attack, Taiyi did not give up.
When facing such a being, there's no need to test it; just unleash your full power!
【Three Qi Traverse the Heavens - Combination - Geng Metal Dragon and Tiger Dance in Chaos】
The inner core circulated at full power once again, and true energy surged into the sword in his hand like a geyser.
Taiyi's long hair danced wildly, his clothes ripped open, revealing his upper body, as he swung his sword one after another like a madman.
At this moment, he was even more frenzied and reckless than when he fought Muzan, wanting only to merge his boundless fighting spirit with his true energy and unleash it all upon his opponent.
"Immortal Technique - Renyin and Dingmao, the four elements unite as one, heaven covers and earth sustains!"
Faced with such a ferocious attack, even though Lian was confident in her boundless true energy, she dared not be careless. As she created distance, she also unleashed her killing move.
In an instant, thousands upon thousands of compressed clumps of true energy appeared in the sky and on the ground, completely enveloping Taiyi and sealing off all angles of movement.
The next second, these condensed clusters of true energy shot out beams of light like lasers, mercilessly baptizing Taiyi.
Boom! Boom! ... Boom!
The continuous barrage of fire turned the ground beneath their feet into dust, which was then immediately scattered in all directions by the aftershocks.
Lean less.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, seawater rushed in.
Lian looked at the shore, now a bay, and Taiyi, his head bowed, his lower body submerged in seawater, covered in blood, yet still holding a sword in his right hand, pointing it at her from afar; his left arm was missing a section. She couldn't help but sigh:
"Humans, why bother? Submitting to me is the only right thing to do."
[Attribute conversion complete]
hehe......
Seeing that the recovery had been forced to stop again due to the severity of the injury and excessive use of his internal energy, Taiyi raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as if they were about to burst out of their sockets, and said with a sinister grin:
"Lotus, you are indeed powerful. As a human, it seems I really cannot defeat you."
"so what?"
Lian tilted her head, and suddenly, as if on a whim, a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
"Therefore... I must temporarily abandon my human form and transform into an Asura to fight you!!!"
He twirled his sword with one hand, then plunged it into the sea. Taiyi then pulled out a mechanical arm wrapped in cloth from his waist.
puff.
Without any transplantation process, he finally abandoned all illusions and placed the prosthetic hand on his severed left arm.
Call ~
The previously warm sea breeze had now turned incredibly cold.
The instant the prosthetic arm was attached, crimson light burst forth from Taiichi's eyes, and at the same time, eerie karmic flames began to spread across his body.
"Lotus, my battle with you to the death is not over yet!!!"
The moment Taiichi plunged his palm into the seawater and pulled out Futsu no Mitama, he unleashed a deadly sword strike at Ren, who was suspended in mid-air, carrying with him boundless resentment and boundless karmic fire.
