"Roar!!" The Chaos Yang Snake issued a painful howl, its body suddenly ignited with the Five Elements Fire.
"Li Changzhou, I had already glimpsed the future, you achieve the Tao through the Five Elements, saturated with the Five Qi inside your body, inner refining and external refining simultaneously, just a moment, and you will transform into a Five Elements Pill, even transforming into a Kunpeng will be useless!"
Tao Zhongwen's words had barely faded when the Chaos Yang Snake disappeared, a Giant Kun lunged at the Five Elements Intense Flames, swallowing them voraciously.
But the flames entered the body of the Giant Kun, still burning fiercely.
"Don't even think about driving a wedge between us, I had already sworn to my fellow Daoists, giving up on becoming an immortal!"
"You kill me, then who is next to kill? This place is filled with the disciples and followers of Tao Zhongwen and Shao Yuanjie!"
It was almost as if it was all arranged, every move Li Changzhou made was in Tao Zhongwen's predictions.
This was not prediction; it was the future.
Li Changzhou in the cauldron, using all tactics, 'Flame Wave,' 'Saint Master,' 'Teleportation,' summoning Imperial Mecha, all were useless.
The body of the cauldron was huge, calling over Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia was completely putting them in harm's way!
He tried desperately to summon [Divine Body], then his essence was insufficient, with no movement at all.
Even enduring severe pain, entering 'Concentration,' he couldn't think of a way to resist or absorb the Five Elements Intense Flames.
A wave of panic surged in his heart.
As this emotion arose, Li Changzhou realized, he might truly die here.
If Tao Zhongwen had not seen the future, he was absolutely confident he could kill five people and smoothly become an immortal!
'Even such cowardly thoughts of not being able to afford to lose have arisen, heh.'
Li Changzhou scoffed at himself, took a deep breath, sat cross-legged inside the cauldron, calmed himself down, and rapidly recalled all the Daoist Books he had read recently.
"Orthodox Daoist Canon"?
"Tao Te Ching," "Nanhua Scripture," "Chongxu Scripture," and Wenzi's "Tongyuan Scripture"?
"Great Dao Theory," "Direct Pointers on the Mysterious Mechanism," "Plain Talks on the Dao," "Essential Writings on the Mysteries"?
No good!
All these are Dao, incapable of solving the proximity of fire!
One of the "Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Skills," flying trace support!
"Hidden within the cosmos, roaming within the Four Seas, unknowable, untraceable, unobservable, existing in the world, yet unseen in the world." Li Changzhou recited the mantra.
His heart completely immersed itself.
Body suffering severe pain inside and out, but what severe pain had he ever feared? He had walked through eighteen layers of Hell, his body was once crushed inch by inch into flesh!
"What is he doing?" Lantian Jade urgently asked.
The more Li Changzhou fought, the more terrifying his prowess became clear.
Rumors had it that the Divine Sect Emperor was prodigiously talented with not a hint of falsehood!
"Li Changzhou is indeed formidable," Tao Zhongwen said seriously, "in the final moments he comprehended some mystic arts of flying trace support, but having not become an Earth Immortal, without Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, he simply couldn't deploy this Heavenly Gang Skill."
Li Changzhou heard this, still keeping his composure.
"Mysterious!"
With a swoosh, he drew out the Strong Bow.
"Charge!" Jiajing Emperor roared loudly.
"Squeak—" the Strong Bow was fully drawn, each bow stretched to its fullest like a tiger about to spring.
Tao Zhongwen looked over.
Ti Yuanzi, Sheng Duanming, Lan Daoheng, Lantian Jade all cast their gazes.
"Break!"
Dark clouds covering the sky.
Thousands of arrows converged in a volley.
"Ah!" Screams filled the field, Daoists in the Forbidden City chanting mantras instantly turned into hedgehogs.
A Daoist from the Shangqing Palace dropped his hand, unsheathed his Flying Sword, releasing a burst of sword light that shattered the incoming arrows.
The Jiajing Emperor seized a Strong Bow from an Imperial Guard next to him, and pulled it taut with one hand.
Whoosh!
The arrow whizzed past the Daoist from Shangqing Palace, missing its mark, yet the Daoist's mana vanished instantly.
The bow and arrow struck the flying sword, sounding like rain hitting the roof of a car, clanging melodically.
Several arrows struck the Daoist from Shangqing Palace right between the eyebrows, creating a large bloody hole.
Li Changzhou roared up to the sky and once again transformed into the mighty Giant Python, sweeping its tail horizontally.
Boom!!
The Five Elements Cauldron shook violently, emitting a circle of multicolored Qi waves that flew out, instantly reducing the fiery energy inside by a small fraction.
"Push it down!" Tao Zhongwen roared angrily, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood. His hair instantly turned white, and the fiery energy in the cauldron burst out fiercely.
The Chaos Yang Snake spiraled, at times furiously whipping its tail and at other times madly slamming into things.
Jiajing Emperor took off the golden crown on his head, pulling out the talisman Tao Zhongwen had given him.
"Extinguish!"
The talisman transformed into a nearly invisible faint thread of light, which in the blink of an eye penetrated Ti Yuanzi's body.
Ti Yuanzi's face stiffened, the surging mana he had been vigorously gathering was suppressed by the talisman by forty percent!
The speed of the luminescent groups forming the big cauldron slowed down, and the cauldron appeared somewhat translucent.
The Chaos Yang Snake furiously whipped its tail.
Bang!!!
The cauldron exploded directly, and multicolored Qi waves surged out, scattering thousands of radiant lights across the sky.
"Pfft!" Tao Zhongwen, Ti Yuanzi, Sheng Duanming, Lan Daoheng, Lantian Jade all spat out blood at the same time.
The huge head of the black python broke through the flowing lights of the Five Elements, bursting out thunderously.
With a toss of its head, it let out a thunderous roar!
The terrifying behemoth stood atop the flowing lights, roaring in the sky with an incredibly fearsome stance.
Whoosh!
The gale swept through, and the python's tail swept out from the luminescence, the powerful force blasting into the bodies of the five people.
Splurt! Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!
Ti Yuanzi, Sheng Duanming, Lan Daoheng, Lantian Jade instantly exploded into a blood mist.
The python's body darted forward, transforming into human form, and with a reach, a claw, Tian Wu Tiger had already bitten down on Tao Zhongwen, who was relying on the talisman to withstand the tail whip and trying to escape.
With a kick in mid-air, Tian Wu Tiger, carrying Tao Zhongwen, leapt before Li Changzhou.
Li Changzhou's body was covered in split wounds, inside which the Five Elements Intense Flames still burned, but the wounds were slowly healing.
Tao Zhongwen, with white hair and beard, coughed and said angrily, "Had I not foreseen the future, I wouldn't have given Jiajing the talisman or come to this pass!"
"You saw it, and thus you were bound to come to this point," Li Changzhou said, quietly breathing heavily.
He too was utterly exhausted.
Tao Zhongwen gasped twice more and asked, "Jiajing is invulnerable to all magic and can't be controlled by spells, what exactly did you use to bewitch him?"
"I didn't bewitch him, so he helped me. It's that simple," Li Changzhou replied.
Tao Zhongwen paused, then let out a bleak laugh, "Human tribulation, Heaven doesn't take, humans gather themselves! In a moment of thought! A stray thought! I didn't lose to fate, but to human nature!"
Li Changzhou turned around, spreading his hands to hold the last segment of the Dragon Vein in his hands.
Behind him, Tian Wu Tiger took a bite.
Nine streams of light fell from the sky to the side of Li Changzhou.
"Brother!"
"Are you alright?"
Li Changzhou patted his sleeve, casually: "Child's play."
He looked towards the Forbidden City where Jiajing Emperor was being pressured by Daoists and players, using a dog fighting for food technique to pounce towards the golden crown.
As Jiajing Emperor hurriedly donned the golden crown, Li Changzhou was about to go down to help.
Meanwhile, the moon reached its zenith, January fifteenth ended, and January sixteenth arrived.
All players suddenly saw black before their eyes.
