Too much fruit

Chapter 917: Tortoise and Snake King
Mountains and rivers are all included in the painting, forming a landscape painting with thick peaks and majestic momentum. Under the mountains, you can vaguely see the shadow of a dragon, coiling around the earth, it is difficult to see its head and tail, but it is firmly suppressed by the mountains.

This is naturally the Great Master.

Jiang Li's figure shuttled through the space, from small to large, and landed on a big pit.

This is the stone beach before. As large tracts of land were included in the map of mountains, rivers and the state, the beautiful mountains and rivers have turned into a big pit. There is a sound of flowing water coming from the distance. It is the cut-off water flow pouring into the pit.

Not far in front of Jiang Li, a scroll with profound images unfolded in the air. It seemed as if there were invisible chains pulling and binding the scroll from all directions, causing it to stop in the air without moving.

"Can't you put this painting away?"

Sun Wukong fell to the ground, looked at the open scroll, scratched his cheek and said.

"I can't take it back," Jiang Li shook his head. "If I take it back, I won't be able to draw in the power of the nine states and mountains and rivers, and I won't be able to suppress the Great Venerable."

The power of mountains, rivers and the earth was brought here by Jiang Li with [Emperor Comes out of Shock] and landed here. Once the scroll was closed and the position was moved, the power would be lost and he would be able to escape immediately.

The mountains, rivers and earth are not that intelligent and can't change the situation at any time as the target of suppression moves.

Moreover, movement means change. Once a change occurs, the Great Venerable might be able to find some flaws. Even if it can move, Jiang Li will not let it move.

The reason why he was able to trick the Great Master this time was because the Great Master was careless.

He knew the princess's character very well, and had no doubts about his decision, so he didn't expect to be used by Jiang Li. This is how he got fooled. If it happened again, the Great Master would never be fooled.

So, let the map of mountains, rivers, and the country stay here.

As for safety issues...
Jiang Li's gaze fell on a certain monkey.

"You don't want me to watch over this thing for you, do you?" said Sun Wukong.

This monkey is very clever. He may not have amazing wisdom, but in terms of quick thinking, Sun Wukong is one of the best. He doesn't play tricks because of his nature, but playing tricks is Sun Wukong's specialty.

When Jiang Li said that the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and States could not be moved, Sun Wukong had already thought that someone must watch over it, otherwise the seal would likely be destroyed by external forces.

The Great Master’s real body was sealed, but his clones were still outside, and there were quite a lot of them.

So when Jiang Li's gaze fell, Sun Wukong guessed his thoughts at the first moment.

——The person who will guard the map of mountains, rivers and the country is you!

Jiang Li was not surprised by Sun Wukong's sharpness. He smiled and flattered, "Only the Great Sage Equaling Heaven has such great magical powers that he could keep the seal intact."

"Humph."

Sun Wukong was unmoved. He snorted disdainfully and said, "When you need me, call me Great Sage. When you don't, call me Horse Keeper. Do you think I will be fooled so easily?"

Although a little flattery feels good, it is a pity that Bi Ma Wen is a horse keeper, not a horse, so Jiang Li's flattery is useless to him.

However, since Jiang Li dared to say so, he must have another trick up his sleeve.

"After this battle is over, I will have a good fight with the Great Sage, how about it?" Jiang Li threw out a bait.

"Deal." Sun Wukong took the bait.

Sun Wukong is a monkey who has gotten rid of vulgar interests, a pure monkey who is not interested in interests or sex. He is only interested in fighting with people and in being competitive.

Jiang Li carries Erlang Shen's Taoist fruit and is one of the targets that Sun Wukong is interested in.

"If I win, you will have to address me as the Great Sage every time you see me in the future." Sun Wukong raised his thumb and pointed at himself.

"What if we lose?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.

“If I lose…”

Sun Wukong did not insist that he would win, but gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, I, Sun, allow you to call me 'Bimawen'."

"Hmm?" Jiang Li couldn't help but lean back slightly. "This is really... a huge bet. It seems that I have to win this time."

"It is I, Old Sun, who has to win." said the monkey viciously.

He must cut off his retreat and leave no room for luck, he must fight with all he has in this battle.

In response, Jiang Li just smiled slightly and disappeared in the wind.

······
······
Hong County, Jingzhou.

Jingzhou has a well-developed water system, especially the other half of the area close to Yangzhou, where waterways can be seen everywhere. When the demon cultivators from the Dragon Palace entered the scene, these rivers also became their help.

but······
The torrent surged, and countless demon cultivators rode the waves to the earth, but were burned by the raging fire. The water vapor evaporated, leaving behind charred corpses on the ground.

“Roar! Roar! Roar—”

Yin Tulong was flying in the air on the wind-fire wheel, with nine real fire dragons roaring and dancing around him. The huge dragon body was emitting flames wantonly, burning the river and boiling the waves, killing the demons.

Among the Dao Fruit magical powers of the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, there are those specifically targeted at monsters, among which aquatic monsters are the most severely targeted. For Yin Tulong, even if these monster cultivators come in numbers of hundreds of thousands or millions, it will all be in vain.

"Where are the four sea dragon kings of the Dragon Palace? Why haven't they shown up? Come out quickly, the Taoist priest's Nine Refinements of Divine Fire is in need of dragon souls."

Yin Tulong exuded a murderous aura that was almost tangible; the flaming dragon roared, and his overwhelming power caused the water to retreat, and there were even signs that it was shrinking back into the waterway.

The combination of the True Fire Dragon and this overwhelming evil spirit made all the demon cultivators terrified, and they even began to subconsciously drive the torrent backwards.

Yin Tulong's Divine Fire Nine Refinements was created by comprehending the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. When it was completed, nine dragons appeared at the same time. In particular, Yin Tulong also added the souls of dragons and snakes to increase its power.

The demons and ghosts of today are essentially human beings. When they die, the Dao Fruit is released and most of their bodies will turn back into human form. The few that cannot turn back into human form are because they cannot withstand the drastic change or have practiced some crooked techniques, so they cannot turn back into human form, but they are not demons.

In this case, it would undoubtedly be impossible for Yin Tulong to replicate the skinning and tendon removal operation of a certain Third Prince, so he started from the other side and extracted the souls that were contaminated with the nature of dragons and snakes.

Pulling out the tendons and skinning and extracting the soul don't seem to be much different.

Judging from the results, although Yin Tulong's operation was not in line with his identity as a righteous person, it did greatly promote his Dao fruit interpretation, so the dragon, snake and demon cultivators who died in his hands had to go through this stage. He later used these souls to increase the power of the Nine Refinements of Divine Fire.

Now the nine dragons were roaring, extremely fierce, Yin Tulong made another sarcastic remark, trying to lure the fourth rank of the Dragon Palace to show up and then kill the dragon. Unfortunately, his method of luring the enemy did not work completely, and it was unknown whether the Dragon Palace was patient enough or the four sea dragon kings did not come.

As for the part that works...
"Yin——"

It sounds like a dragon's roar, and more like the sound of a sword.

The powerful blood and energy transformed into another red color, which contended with the flames. A majestic figure walked towards them on the lingering waves.

The dragon roar and the sword sound came from the crescent-shaped sword in this person's hand.

"Want an enemy? Someone will come and meet you!"

The figure shrouded in red blood and red light shouted loudly, his steps suddenly quickened, and his blood and energy suddenly retracted into the body, leaving only a red face.

The elder of Dinghu sect Kaiyang Wuqu!
Elder Kaiyang entered the scene at this time, his steps were as fast as thunder, but there were no waves when he stepped on the water, just like a green dragon moving on the water, extremely fast and swift.

The distance of hundreds of feet passed in a flash, and Elder Kaiyang's elongated figure was covered with red and green light, and his cold sword energy turned into a green dragon.

"Well come."

Yin Tulong was not afraid at all, but the little Taoist exuded a wild spirit that soared into the sky. The nine dragons moved according to his thoughts and rushed towards Elder Kaiyang with fangs and claws bared.

"boom!"

On one side were the Nine Dragons of True Fire, and on the other side was the Azure Dragon transformed from a sword. The nine dragons pounced and bit, and the flames turned into a long river, about to drown Elder Kaiyang, but were cut apart by the extremely strong and fierce sword force.

The sword energy is like light, and Elder Kaiyang is like a sword. The sword turns into a dragon, and the green dragon dances. The sword light rotates and breaks the evil, and wherever it passes, whether it is water or real fire, it will be broken up by the sword light. It can be said to be powerful and terrifying.

His fifth-grade Dao fruit is Guan Yu, who is known as the "Martial Saint", and the fourth-grade Dao fruit is Kaiyang Xingjun, also known as Wuqu Xingjun, who is talented in martial arts. Elder Kaiyang specializes in martial arts and is brave and diligent. In terms of combat power, among the six elders, except Tianxuan, only Tianjun's vest Lu Tianpeng can compare with him.

At this time, Elder Kaiyang attacked with all his strength. Although the Nine Fire Dragon was strong, he was still able to break through it. The sword light turned into a storm and a torrent. Thousands of sparks danced with the green dragon and killed Yin Tulong directly.

Yin Tulong did not back down either. Instead, he accelerated his Wind Fire Wheels and his Fire Spear rose up suddenly, turning into flames, as powerful as a raging fire, colliding with the sword energy.

"Oh!"

A terrifying wave arose above the earth, mixed with the flash of swords, flames, mist and dust, and two divine lights turned into floods, crashing into the center from both directions.

Yin Tulong and Elder Kaiyang both have the ability to command their soldiers, and the fight between the two is also a fight between two large armies.

Under this raging tide, all the previous flood waves were pushed away, and the exposed ground was split into countless gullies and turned into scorched earth. Then the energy rushed up into the sky, as if it was going to break through the clouds in the sky.

"boom!"

In the sky, dark clouds rolled, and a surge of mysterious current shattered the energy, then rushed to the other half of the sky which showed a bright and clear world, but was blocked by the blazing golden flame.

The sun was moving across the sky, with six dragons dancing in front of it, as if they were pulling the sun forward. A chariot appeared inside, with two figures, each with their own elegance, standing in the chariot.

Gongsun Qingyue displayed the Sun Dharma Image, while Tianxuan used the Stars Dharma Realm to bless the power of the Sun. Under the extreme Yang Fire, the Xuanliu was transformed into mist, and even the rolling dark clouds were penetrated by the golden light. A black stone-like surface could be vaguely seen, as if a mountain was hidden inside.

"It seems that you value the Thunder Ancestor Dao Fruit very much, and you are willing to take action yourself."

Tianxuan's eyes were full of stars, and the huge figure shrouded in dark clouds gradually appeared in her eyes, "King Xuanwu."

The Xuanwu of Dragon Palace is called the King of Xuanwu by outsiders to show his status in the Dragon Palace, just like the Qinglong King, the lord of the Dragon Palace who was killed by the Taoist Master four hundred years ago.

“Except for me, who in the Dragon Palace dares to say that they can stop Patriarch Gongsun?” A deep and deep voice came from the dark clouds. “I don’t want to take action, but I have to.”

There seemed to be helplessness in his voice, but more of it was confidence, the confidence that prevented Tianxuan from passing.

Tianxuan is one of the rare masters of Yi Dao in the world. His attainments in Yi Dao are among the top ten. Coincidentally, Xuanwu is also in this list. In fact, in the perception of many people, Xuanwu is blessed with the magical power of Dao Fruit and is the number one under the strongest.

There is no way, who can blame those strongest ones for being better at hiding than the other. Even if they have shortcomings, they are only compared with other strongest ones. Compared with the other three levels, their shortcomings have become real strengths.

However, now that Tianxuan has been promoted to Dou Mu Yuanjun and has made great progress in the Yi Dao, he does not think that he is inferior to Xuanwu.

You have the third-grade Dao-fruit supernatural power, and so do I.

After hearing Xuanwu's words, Tianxuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Relying on your turtle body? If you want to unlock Zhang Zhixuan's seal, old man Da Kun doesn't have that ability. Only you, King Xuanwu, can guarantee that the seal will be broken quickly. Now, your snake body should be in Zhenze, right?"

"I said you didn't hesitate to take action yourself because you dared to block the way with only half of your body."

Xuanwu is a sacred beast that is a combination of a tortoise and a snake. After the Xuanwu King bears the Xuanwu Dao Fruit, he can also split into two bodies, a tortoise and a snake. He can let the two bodies walk separately, or merge them into one.

If the two bodies were separated, they would both be of the third grade, and definitely not weak, but they were still not as good as when they were complete.

Although it is said to be two bodies, the combination of the turtle and the snake is the true body. Any one of the separated turtle body and snake body can only be regarded as half of the body of Xuanwu, and naturally it is no longer in its full glory.

Xuanwu appears in the sky as one of the seven northern stars. Tianxuan is Dou Mu Yuanjun, who can sense the stars. Through this, they realize that the Xuanwu King who appears here is in the form of a tortoise, and the other half of his body must be in Zhenze at this time.

It is for this reason that Tianxuan said that Leizu Daoguo is so important to King Xuanwu.

King Xuanwu could naturally understand the meaning of these words. He even knew that Tianxuan's strong words were also a test, a test of reality, and an attempt to attack his heart.

If she was absolutely sure that she could kill this half of her body, given this woman's decisiveness and ruthlessness, she would have done it long ago.

This was someone who dared to conspire against a third-rank master at the fourth-rank level. She was not lacking in decisiveness. If she didn't take action at this time, she was actually not sure.

Those who are good at Yi Dao must be good at setting up battle formations. If you attack them without a certain degree of confidence, you may end up losing more than you gain. It is never too cautious to deal with these people.

"The supernatural powers that respond to the will of heaven and earth are all above this body. I don't think this action can be called 'unsparing'."

A slow and steady voice came from the dark clouds, "If Patriarch Gongsun thinks you can kill me, you may as well give it a try."

In response to his words, the surging dark clouds revealed a bit of strangeness, and even more so, a strange sense of depth. It was clearly a thin cloud, but at this moment it was like an abyss, extremely deep, as if it could swallow up all the invading enemies.

"Just try it."
