Chapter 166: Golden Boat Takes Action
"Buzz!"
Above the eastern skies of Cold Origin Ancient City, two silhouettes, one tall and one short, shuttle back and forth under the vast Heavenly Vault. Each crossing sets off a majestic wave of mana and dazzling brilliance.
"Clang!"
Li Qingming shattered a giant star close by, and feeling the strong power of the Rule Dao Body opposite of him, he couldn't help but frown inwardly, thinking: "This Golden Boat City Lord is really unreliable! It was clearly your own issue, yet you've dragged us into it! Since that's the case, you can't blame me!"
With this thought, Li Qingming suddenly struck the Rule Dao Body with a sword, then using the tremendous rebound force from the opponent, he leapt out of the battle, flying straight toward the nearby Golden Boat City Lord.
Struck by Li Qingming's sword, although not in much pain, it successfully attracted the Rule Dao Body's attention. It roared in fury and followed closely behind Li Qingming.
"Huh?" The Golden Boat City Lord, who was still watching the excitement, was stunned, clearly bewildered by this dramatic scene.
"City Lord, don't just stand idle! This guy is a Great Power at the Half-step Heavenly Dao Level, transformed from the Power of Death Rules, I, the junior, cannot handle him!" Li Qingming laughed heartily, stopping next to the Golden Boat City Lord, splitting a huge star plummeting towards them with his sword.
"Swoosh!"
The Golden Boat City Lord, unfortunate enough to have his cheek grazed by a Star Fragment, showed a wry smile on his face.
Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to test Li Qingming's true strength, but to his surprise, he still got played by the youngster. Having no choice, now he had to personally deal with this troublesome behemoth.
"Kid, get out of the way!" The Golden Boat City Lord shouted loudly, as an extremely terrifying aura emanated from his body, like a golden star exploding, the momentum overwhelming!
At this moment, the Golden Boat City Lord's eyes dazzled with cold light, and an enormous axe appeared in his right hand, swinging ceaselessly in the Void, cutting towards the Rule Dao Body with the rapidity of lightning.
"Boom boom boom!"
Heaven and Earth collapsed, the majestic momentum brought by the Golden Boat City Lord, like surging ocean waves, destroyed the vast universe, turning the entire estate into ruins, reducing all bricks and rubble to dust as if they'd never existed.
The former estate, under this strike, became a small plaza with a radius of ten miles.
All the spectators felt a chill to their bones! They had all heard of how formidable the Golden Boat City Lord was, and seeing it today, it was indeed true to the word.
"Boom!"
The giant axe clashed with the star, like Chaotic Heavenly Thunder exploding, its sound so loud, and the Gang Wind so fierce, it was as though it was creating Heaven and Earth.
Above the high skies, cracks outside the Array grew larger and larger, the residual waves stirred by the two seeped through, shattering many distant stars into smithereens, dimming a vast expanse of the Star Domain.
And it was this inadvertent action that just happened to cause the escape plan of the Shadow Four brothers to fail.
The violent energy fluctuations filled the crack to the brim, and even if the Shadow Four brothers wanted to slip through the crack, it would likely result in certain death.
So they could only linger outside the crack in the Heavenly Vault, waiting once again for an opportunity.
"Howl howl…"
The Rule Dao Body clashed with the Golden Boat City Lord over a thousand times, but every time, it was violently shattered by the overwhelming combat strength of the Golden Boat City Lord. It had now completely fallen into a crazed state.
"Buzz!"
A terrifying force of Death Rule surged from the body of the Rule Dao Body, it slowly opened its mouth, and began to speak Spell.
This was simply shocking! Ever since the Rule Dao Body emerged from the Big Cauldron, it had consistently been muddleheaded, devoid of any spiritual intelligence. But now, it unexpectedly started chanting a Spell, this clearly indicated that the Rule was dominating its consciousness.
And indeed, the Rule Dao Body's combat power is unmatched, and at this moment, as he chants the spells, he seems to be seeking to obtain even greater power for the ultimate assault.
"Swish!"
A dazzling brilliance burst forth from the top of the Rule Dao Body's skull, turning into strands of terrifying demonic light that shattered the starry sky.
With a "hum" of a light sound, those strands of demonic light, under the chanting of the Rule Dao Body, turned into numerous Tao Runes flickering with Black Light, and a pressure that dominated Heaven and Earth rose as the Tao Chime resounded: "The Power of Death Rules descends upon the world, sacrificing life and death!"
The Tao Runes in the Heavenly Vault suddenly burst forth with immense Power of Death Rules, and in a flash, with a pressure as heavy as a mountain, shot towards the Golden Boat City Lord.
Several ordinary Cold Origin Guards, watching the battle from not far away, were inadvertently affected by that deadly force, letting out a scream as they exploded into nothingness, meeting an untimely death!
Everyone was simultaneously terrified, secretly thinking that this Rule Dao Body truly is boundlessly horrifying!
The Golden Boat City Lord remained composed and fearless, holding aloft the ancient giant axe and slashing down with great force, instantly the Heavenly Vault above was filled with myriad auspicious radiances and billions of strands of Immortal Light, bursting with overpowering might.
"Clang!"
The ferocious Tao Runes formed by the Death Rule, flickering with radiance, faced the giant axe head-on.
The giant axe, with its powerful might, managed to cleave through the runes at the moment of contact, striking directly upon the Rule Dao Body, nearly cleaving him in half.
One could see that its left arm was almost severed at the root, a large chunk of its gigantic head shattered, half of its face bloody and flesh mangled, dripping with fresh blood, an exceedingly gruesome sight.
"Hiss!"
Upon seeing the tragic state of the Death Rule Dao Body, everyone gasped in shock, feeling hairs stand on end and their hearts tremble as if struck by a heavy hammer, shuddering immensely.
"That's damn brutal!" Long Xuhu muttered softly, his gaze towards the Golden Boat City Lord filled with an indescribable sense of fear.
Xuan Tian had a solemn expression as he muttered to himself, "The Rule of Power?"
...
"Boom!"
At this moment, the Rule Dao Body, drenched in blood, began to lose the Power of Death Rules rapidly!
"You shall die! You all shall accept the punishment of the Rule!" His eyes were cold, devoid of emotion, like a machine.
"Roar!"
The Death Rule Dao Body erupted completely, howling madly, desperate with its last strength, wanting to refine all present into a sacrifice for the Death Rule!
The space within ten miles roared thunderously, a vast deathly aura swirling tumultuously, while Heaven and Earth resonated together.
In the distance, near the small square, houses, taverns, shops... began to collapse in entirety. Outer star seas of the Cold Origin Ancient City were also blinking in and out of existence continuously, all Starlight rushing crazily, aiding the Rule Dao Body.
"Damn it, this guy's gone mad, he wants to destroy the entire city, to wipe us all out here!" Li Qingming, who was watching the battle not far away, suddenly widened his eyes in shock, realizing the dire consequences.
"Kid, if you keep watching and let him destroy my city, I'll hunt you down to Pangu's Great Thousand World!" Now the Golden Boat City Lord could no longer stay calm, he bellowed at Li Qingming, his giant axe began to emit strands of Mysterious Dao melody.
"Old man, if you hadn't hemmed and hawed, would this consequence have come to be?" Li Qingming retorted sarcastically, saying, "I don't have time to argue with you! Let's join forces and kill him!"
"Boom!"
In an instant, Li Qingming embodied his Primordial Spirit in his true form, and his Bitter Bamboo Longsword transformed into a spear shape, charging straight into the heart of the storm.(To be continued.
