Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 557 Killing Basong and Attaining Dao Fruit Again (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Xiangliu Divine Skill is also a very powerful ancient Chinese martial art. However, due to the Qin King's massacre of alchemists, many skilled people crossed the ocean to seek a peaceful life overseas. Eventually, it was transmitted to our Siam and became a martial art once used by the Siamese spirits.

Yin Shen was an extraordinary figure who held a very high position in the history of Siam. Back then, he was a prince of Siam who was thrown into a death cell after his hands and feet were broken for trying to seize the throne. He was destined to die, but unexpectedly, there was a strange person in the death cell.

Seeing his extraordinary physique and feeling a connection with him, they passed on two skills to him. One was the art of cultivating and controlling poisonous insects, known as "Jiangtou" (a form of witchcraft).

Another one is this Xiangliu Divine Skill.

Later, with the blessing of various miraculous encounters, this spirit developed like never before, and in a short period of time, he learned the art of black magic and used poisonous insects as his arms to cure his disability.

He also cultivated the Xiangliu Divine Skill to its highest level, the Nine-Headed Xiangliu Realm, making him virtually invincible.

Afterwards, this Yin deity restored his kingdom and threw all those who had opposed him into the snake pit, where they were bitten to death by thousands of snakes, their deaths were extremely gruesome.

Afterwards, this Yin deity became a legend in the Kingdom of Siam, and his strength was unprecedented in the kingdom. According to legend, he had reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

Therefore, some people speculate that if the Xiangliu Divine Skill reaches the level of nine heads, it should be the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

Normally, with Basong's strength at the second level of the Fusion God realm, he could at most push Xiangliu to the level of six heads.

However, this time Basong was truly determined to die with Chen Jie, directly using a curse to stimulate his own potential, allowing his strength to be temporarily enhanced. At his current level, the Seven-Headed Willow is comparable to the power of a strike from a third-stage Molten God.

Chen Jie looked at Basong, who had reached the end of his rope and was ready to fight him to the death. Sometimes life is like this: one second you're in heaven, the next you're in hell.

Basong, who was attending today's banquet, was full of vigor and had two backup lives, making him almost invincible.

But now, in the short span of time, the emperor has lost his life, and the life hidden in the snow maiden has also been lost. Only his own life remains, which can be described as quite tragic.

At this point, he could only desperately urge the Seven Prime Ministers to kill Chen Jie. Chen Jie could see that Basong was truly at his wit's end, because he could see with his own eyes that Basong's face was aging at an alarming rate.

His hair had also turned visibly gray.

White hair and loose skin instantly made Basong look like an old man, whereas in his normal state, Basong had black hair and firm skin, making him look like a thirty-year-old.

Now he has probably drained all his power, even the power that sustains his bodily functions.

His goal was to kill Chen Jie, and Chen Jie was doomed!

"Die!"

Basong roared and threw a punch. The next moment, the Seven-Headed Willow, carrying the aura of reaping lives, attacked Chen Jie.

Seeing this, Chen Jie sighed and said to Basong, "Grand Preceptor, I'm afraid your wish won't be fulfilled today. You want to kill me?"

"Ha ha……"

Chen Jie's voice was icy and chilling: "Don't think I'll hold back just because you look pitiful. That's impossible!"
Thinking of this, Chen Jie raised his hand and said the next moment, "Three gods unite as one, ice and frost stretch for ten thousand miles, the winter god is furious!"

clack clack...

As Chen Jie's voice fell, the Spring God and the Summer God instantly merged together, and then the fusion of the two gods was absorbed by the Winter God.

Winter God Xuanming!

Lord of Frost.

"call……"

In an instant, the Winter God Xuanming, who had merged with the three gods, appeared behind Chen Jie. Chen Jie looked at the Seven-Headed Minister Liu who was attacking him and his eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his hand and exhaled a breath of cold air, which instantly condensed into thick frost in the entire air.

At this moment, Chen Jie, seeing the seven leaders attacking Liu, immediately unleashed Xuanming's strongest strike, the [Frosty Palm of Time].

A palm strike so cold it could freeze the years. As soon as the palm was unleashed, a terrifying force of ice suddenly approached the Seven-Headed Willow. Immediately afterwards, the Seven-Headed Willow suddenly opened its seven heads and then spat out an energy body from its mouth, representing the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.

The energy bodies frantically coalesced, eventually forming a world-destroying, seven-colored beam of light that blasted directly towards the Ice Goddess Xuanming!
boom!
A terrifying beam of light blasted directly at Xuanming, but Xuanming simply struck out with a light palm—the Frost Palm of Time, which possessed absolute zero temperature.

dead!
One palm strike decides the outcome, and even life and death!
With a deafening roar, the two attacks collided directly. The next moment, the two terrifying qi from both sides collided, carrying terrifying power as they attacked each other, forming two opposing light waves at the point of intersection.

One side is colorful and vibrant, while the other side is icy and solid.

At this moment, the two beams of light confronted each other, their powerful energies clashing against each other, like two Kamehameha waves clashing. Chen Jie and Ba Song were frantically channeling their energies into their respective statues, hoping to activate them and win this clash. This clash was fierce, and the outcome was certain to be as expected.

At this point, if anyone's internal energy is even slightly weakened, they will surely be defeated. And the consequences of defeat are obvious: death and annihilation. So, this battle is not a grand ceremony to save face; it is a true fight to the death.

At this moment, Chen Jie and Basong were seen exchanging blows wildly, both pouring all their inner energy into the statue in front of them, neither caring about the hidden aspects.

However, Basong's strength soon became insufficient. He gritted his teeth and urged all his power, but he still could not gain an overwhelming advantage over Chen Jie. At this moment, Basong got angry and took out a golden bottle from his body. Then he opened his mouth and poured a multi-legged worm from the bottle into his mouth.

"Ah~"

The next moment, Basong suddenly let out a pig-like scream. He was in pain, an unprecedented pain. He felt as if insects were gnawing at his brain, and his brain was about to explode.

Basong was in excruciating pain, but one thing did not disappoint him: at the same time, a power was rising within him. At this moment, Basong gritted his teeth and, with an extremely ferocious expression, poured all his power into the Seven-Headed Willow.

"You can't lose, you can't lose, you have to win, you have to win!"

"what……"

Basong roared hysterically, his eyes filled with savagery and bloodlust; he wanted to kill Chen Jie.

Seeing this, Chen Jie remained calm. Because of the Everlasting Spring Technique, he did not need to use much of his internal energy, so he was able to withstand Basong's terrifying attack.

Although the Spring God had left his body, the life force of the Everlasting Spring Technique continued to circulate through his meridians, starting from his limbs and bones. Each time it circulated through his dried-up meridians, it would generate vital energy again, giving Chen Jie enough strength to deal with Basong.

Basong then looked at Chen Jie and said, "Zhu Chongba, this time I will definitely not lose to you. This time you are doomed to die!"

Basong roared angrily, but Chen Jie's attitude was very cold, and he only replied with an "Oh!"

This attitude enraged Basong, who instantly became hysterical: "You bastard, how dare you look down on me! You'd better die!"

After saying that, Chen Jie increased the output of his internal energy again. Looking at Basong's frenzied appearance, he said calmly, "Is this your limit?"

Ah!
This remark completely enraged Basong. He hadn't expected Chen Jie to utter such a provocative statement at this moment. He roared, "Zhu Chongba, don't be so smug! This is nothing! This is far from enough!"

"After he finished speaking, Basong poured two more bottles of sorcery into his mouth."

Ah!
With a roar, Basong's eyes widened suddenly, and blood began to flow from them. Seeing this, Chen Jie chuckled and said, "The life gained by overdrawing one's vitality is ultimately short-lived!"

"Strength must ultimately be gained through one's own efforts!"

"Shut up, shut up! It's all about the winner! It's all about the winner!"

"Any power is good as long as I can win. Enough with your babbling, just die!"

Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Basong and said, "Hehe, is that so? As long as we can win, any power is good, right?"

As he spoke, Chen Jie flipped his hand and a handful of fourth-grade Tai Sui pills appeared in his hand. Then, Chen Jie threw all of the fourth-grade Tai Sui pills into his mouth. The next moment, a powerful and terrifying force exploded in Chen Jie's body.

A fourth-tier Tai Sui Pill provides terrifying power, but what's even more terrifying is Chen Jie's utilization rate of the pill. Others might only have a utilization rate of around 70-80% after consuming a Tai Sui Pill, but with the help of the life force from the Changchun Gong, Chen Jie's utilization rate of the pill can directly rise to over 90%.

With a utilization rate of 10% to 20%, the resulting power conversion is quite considerable.
At this moment, Chen Jie felt the opponent's power rising steadily, but Chen Jie was not flustered at all. He suddenly exerted force and immediately suppressed all of Basong's power.

The next moment, Basong felt as if his strength had been suddenly squeezed and he could not move.

At this moment, he looked at Chen Jie and saw a smile on Chen Jie's face. The next moment, Chen Jie suddenly threw a punch.

boom!
As soon as the punch was thrown, the temperature of the entire world dropped by more than ten degrees, and it began to get cold. At this moment, the two light waves that were originally colliding and facing each other suddenly burst out with intense light.

It looked like it was about to explode, but then suddenly a blue streak flashed by.

The next moment, the light waves that were originally facing each other suddenly began to freeze wildly, crackling and popping...

A chilling sound rang out, and the next moment, the seven-colored energy pillars spewed out by the seven-headed willows were frantically frozen into ice blocks under the ice.

That's right, it directly froze the seven-colored energy pillars of the Seven-Headed Willow into ice blocks.

Seeing this, Basong was utterly shocked: "This, how is this possible!"

Basong's eyes were filled with shock. He watched helplessly as the freezing power surged from his ice pillar towards the Seven-Headed Willow, instantly freezing the ancient ferocious god into a block of ice under Chen Jie's icy grip. Then, the power solidified, and in the fusion of the ethereal and the tangible, the icy force permeated Basong's body.

"no no……"

Amidst Basong's screams, he was frozen solid into an ice sculpture.

woohoo...

Seeing that Basong was finally frozen into an ice sculpture, Chen Jie immediately dispelled all his cultivation techniques. He was panting heavily, as the exertion was simply too great.

As Chen Jie was thinking this, he had just finished dispersing his energy when suddenly he heard a cracking sound from the frozen Basong. The next moment, Basong's body shattered, and his arm, which fell off first, hit the ground with a thud and shattered into pieces.

Seeing this, Chen Jie was shocked and rushed over, but by the time he reached him, his second arm had also fallen off. At that moment, Chen Jie immediately activated the Quran.

As the sound of Quranic verses rang out, golden chains immediately appeared on Chen Jie's body. These chains rapidly coiled in the air, grabbing the power of the Dao Fruit that was traveling through the air.

Basong is a powerful cultivator at the second level of the Fusion God realm, and he possesses three Dao Fruits.

One Dao Fruit for advancing to the first stage of the Fusion God realm, and two for advancing to the second stage of the Fusion God realm, for a total of three Dao Fruits. The Quran's function is to capture the scattered Dao Fruits.

At this moment, the Dao Fruit shot directly into the sky and drifted away. Seeing this, Chen Jie hurriedly used the Quran to try to catch it.

As the Quran was recited, more and more chains of scripture appeared on Chen Jie's body, some of which had already entered Basong's body and begun to grasp at it.

As time went by, it was finally seen that the three main Buddhist chains behind Chen Jie had grasped three Dao Fruits that were flashing with golden light.

Seeing the manifestation of the Dao Fruits, Chen Jie was still very excited. Three Dao Fruits! Three Dao Fruits! He needed four Dao Fruits to advance from the second to the third tier. If he could acquire all three Dao Fruits, his strength would definitely see a long-term improvement.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie became even more excited. However, just as Chen Jie was about to put the three Dao Fruits into his possession, he suddenly paused, and then a look of discomfort appeared on his face. The next moment, the three scripture chains suddenly loosened, almost letting the three Dao Fruits escape.

At this moment, Chen Jie's face turned even more ashen. Just now, when Chen Jie was about to collect the three Dao Fruits, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. It turned out that during the battle, his Qi had been somewhat depleted, and now Chen Jie could only condense a small amount of Qi, which was not enough to support him in capturing three Dao Fruits at once.

The backlash from the three Dao Fruits was extremely strong, and Chen Jie was unable to withstand it for a time.

At this point, Chen Jie was faced with only two options. The first was to give up all three Dao Fruits, since he couldn't possibly grasp them in his current state. The second was to abandon one Dao Fruit and take two. Chen Jie tested it out, and with his remaining strength, he could still hope to get two Dao Fruits if he handled it carefully.

At this point, Chen Jie needs to make a choice.

Chen Jie took a deep breath, made up his mind, and directly released one of the scripture chains. Since he couldn't take them all, he had to make choices. Obtaining two Dao Fruits was already far beyond Chen Jie's expectations.

Chen Jie released one Dao Fruit and then used all his strength to grab the remaining two.

Finally, through Chen Jie's tireless efforts, he managed to catch two Dao Fruits, but watching one of them fly away like that left him feeling extremely bad.

At that moment, he suddenly understood why the Living Buddha, despite his immense power, had failed to grasp all the fruits of enlightenment that Han Shantong had attained after his death. Sometimes, things just don't go as planned.

Regardless, the two Dao Fruits were enough to give Chen Jiesong a sigh of relief. With these Dao Fruits, he was only two Dao Fruits away from the third stage of the Fusion God Realm!
You could also say that you've taken another step closer to becoming stronger.

Having figured all this out, Chen Jie was still very excited. At this moment, he looked at Basong's corpse and found that his body had been completely pulverized by the extreme cold of Xuanming. It crumbled at the slightest touch and there was nothing of value left.

Chen Jie had originally thought about whether he could get his hands on Basong's Xiangliu Divine Skill technique, but now it seems impossible; the difficulty level is simply too high.

Having figured all this out, Chen Jie sighed. It seemed he wasn't destined to have the Xiangliu Divine Skill.

Chen Jie then carefully put the Dao Fruit into his storage ring.

He glanced in the direction of the palace and saw flames shooting into the sky. It seemed they were close to taking it, so he didn't need to go and join the fray. All that was left was to...

As Chen explained, he looked up at Foshan behind him. On the top of this mountain was a demon-subduing formation set up by Bodhidharma, and his third brother, Fang Guozhen, was trapped in this formation.

Thinking it over, Chen Jie climbed the steps one by one. He didn't know how long he had climbed, but then he saw a stone tablet in front of him that read: "Demon-Subduing Array, Enter with Caution."

Upon seeing these five words, Chen Jie stopped in his tracks, knowing that what lay before him was the Demon-Subduing Formation.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie took a deep breath and called out, "Third Brother..."

With the enhancement of Chen Jiegang's energy, the sound rushed directly into the great formation and spread wildly within it.

At this moment, inside the great formation, a disheveled man was sitting cross-legged in a stone forest. He was extremely thin and looked like he was almost just a skeleton. Suddenly, a squeaking sound rang out, and the man's eyes lit up. The next moment, he flew into the air.

Then, his right hand suddenly formed a dragon claw and grabbed in that direction. Immediately afterward, a scream was heard, and the next moment, a rat was directly grabbed by the dragon claw from a distance.

With a snap, it was grabbed directly in my hand.

The next moment, a scream was heard, and the rat squeaked a few times before falling silent. A moment later, the disheveled man, his face covered in blood, picked up a rat by the tail and crunched it into his stomach, his face full of satisfaction.

"Third brother..."

Just as the strange man was eating a rat, he suddenly heard a shout. The strange man froze, standing there dumbfounded.

At that moment, he stared blankly in the direction of the sound.

"Fourth, fourth brother!"

……

Chen Jie shouted at the great formation, but received no response from Fang Guozhen. Chen Jie frowned, wondering if his third brother would be alright.

Thinking this, Chen Jie frowned slightly, looking at the demon-subduing formation. He had a very ominous feeling. This formation seemed terrifyingly powerful. Could he deal with it?
Thinking this, Chen Jie frowned slightly.

Following closely behind, Chen Jie began to examine the great formation before him, circling the mountaintop. The formation was far too complex, and Chen Jie dared not venture too deep, lest he kill Basong and end up trapped and dying within it.

Thinking this, Chen Jie squinted and surveyed the mountain. Finally, he stopped at a certain spot and looked at the gate in front of him, which seemed somewhat familiar.

"Hey~"

Chen Jie's eyes lit up. He seemed to have seen this gate before. This, this is!
Chen Jie's eyes widened suddenly, and he took out the array diagram left behind by Bodhidharma, which he had copied from Yuanshui Temple, from his storage ring.

This is the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation of Gensui-ji Temple!

Looking at the array diagram in front of him, Chen Jie said with certainty, "That's right, this is the Vajra Subduing Demon Array of Yuanshui Temple. The array base is the same in all aspects, the only difference may be its size."

Or rather, this is a Vajra Subduing Demon Formation expanded several times over.

Having figured this out, Chen Jie's eyes brightened. He now understood some of the principles behind the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, and thus, he dared to test it out.

With this in mind, Chen Jie calmed himself down and headed straight for the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation in front of him.

The Vajra Subduing Demon Formation has a total of thirty-six variations, which Chen Jie has already witnessed. Now that he has entered the formation, the variations within it can no longer stop him, and he can easily find a way to break it.

After searching for a quarter of an hour, Chen Jie finally reached the bottom of the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation. However, he dared not go any further, because the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation of Yuanshui Temple was no longer ahead. If he went deeper into it, he might also be trapped in the formation. So Chen Jie stopped.

"Third brother, third brother..."

Chen Jie then called out again into the formation, "I am Jiu Si, Third Brother, are you inside?"

Chen Jie's voice went directly into the great formation. After hearing this, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Nine-Four, is that Brother Nine-Four? I am Fang Guozhen, I am inside."

"Third Brother, you're really in there? I can hear you."

"Nine Four, don't go any further in. The deeper you go into this formation, the harder it is to break. I've taken the wrong path, and now it's difficult to turn back. What's the situation outside?"

Fang Guozhen asked, and upon hearing Fang Guozhen's words, Chen Jie's voice immediately came out: "Third Brother, the situation outside has been resolved. I have killed the Imperial Preceptor Basong, and I have also rescued Fang Zheng and Lei Ming. Now, all that's left is you!"

"Oh, really? Jiu Si, you've really worked hard. But don't make any rash moves with this formation. It was set up by Bodhidharma, and it's very difficult to break. Don't end up trapped inside like I did!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie closed his eyes, intending to use his martial arts domain and the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to move inside. However, he discovered that the formation had a mysterious blocking force that directly isolated Chen Jie from entering.

Chen Jie realized that brute force wouldn't work.

"How's 94 going?"

Chen Jie listened to Fang Guozhen's words and said, "Third Brother, don't worry, I have already thought of a way to solve this, but you have to wait a few days before I come to save you."

"Okay, brother, I'll wait for you!"
