After the Skyfall

Chapter 581 Gathering at Taihu Lake
After chopping off Qiu Baishui's head with the Emperor's Sword, something incredible happened. Cracks appeared on Qiu Baishui's body, and the cracks quickly spread all over his body. At the same time, a large amount of incense power began to dissipate.

Qiu Baishui could no longer gather incense and reshape her body, which was obviously a little unreasonable, because the biggest feature of the Incense God was her fast cultivation speed and she was particularly difficult to kill. Just now, Li Yi tried to kill her several times in a row, but she was still resurrected again with the power of incense, and her strength was hardly affected.

However, after being hit by the Emperor's Sword, Qiu Baishui did not recover. In fact, his cracked body quickly shattered and turned into a pool of mud, which scattered in Taihu Lake.

Li Yi sensed the aura, but did not find Qiu Baishui's figure appear again.

Is he dead?

He was somewhat suspicious, because this Emperor Sword was just an ordinary iron sword, not a powerful Taoist weapon. The only special thing about it was that it carried the incense of the people. It was an item that had been sacrificed by the power of incense. Could such a weapon be the nemesis of the God of Incense? With one sword, the White Water Lady was killed?
"He may not be dead, but at least he has suffered unimaginable damage. This Emperor's Sword seems to be able to break up the power of incense, and make the Incense God's thousand years of accumulation disappear in one day." Li Yi thoughtfully.

It's a pity that his position as the national teacher has been stripped away, and the power of incense has dissipated a lot, causing Xiang Xiangzi's soul to fall asleep again. Otherwise, he could ask the fairy lady in the Three Flowers Realm. She is knowledgeable and experienced, and perhaps she could see some clues.

However, he did not take it lightly, but continued to stand above Taihu Lake on the auspicious clouds.

It's just strange.

From then on, for a full hour or two, Li Yi did not sense Qiu Baishui's breath, nor did he encounter any sudden attacks again. Obviously, after Li Yi cut off her head with the sword just now, this Lady Baishui had left the stage. Maybe she was dead, or maybe she was hiding in a corner and struggling to survive. But in any case, she dared not show up again.

During this period, Li Yi also received news from the Golden Eye Guard.

It is said that for some unknown reason, the statues of Baishui Niangniang in some villages and towns near Huguang City suddenly cracked and collapsed. No one destroyed them, but the statues destroyed themselves.

The occurrence of this situation means one thing, that is, the deity being worshipped has died.

"It seems that Lady Baishui will never amount to anything." Li Yi knew what was going on after hearing this and ignored it.

But he did not leave the shore of Taihu Lake. He sat directly on the golden auspicious cloud, quietly waiting for other masters to appear. The masters in the letter were not only Baishui Niangniang, but she was impatient and was the first to come forward. Other masters would definitely come together and it would be impossible for them to fight him alone.

After this round of fighting and testing, Li Yi also understood to some extent the strength of these incense gods.

They are very powerful, but it is difficult for them to bring out the true power of incense. If they could understand some ways of cultivation and comprehend some spells, the situation would be completely different.

I just don't know whether other masters have practiced and studied magic during the time they were becoming gods.

Li Yi waited from day to evening.

At this moment, the sun sets and the lake surface turns red.

However, soon, Li Yi, who was sitting on the golden auspicious cloud, suddenly realized something and looked towards the north.

He saw an unusual cloud moving towards him. The color of the cloud was different, white with a hint of blue, and it was condensed and gathered the power of incense. He also vaguely saw some human figures appearing in the cloud. Those human figures were particularly large, the shorter ones were about ten feet tall, and the tallest ones were at least ten feet tall.

And as the clouds approached, dull sounds were heard in the sky.

The sound was like rolling thunder and also like a war drum.

As it got closer, the sound became louder and louder, shaking the sky and splashing thunder.

Li Yi looked in the direction of the sound.

But in the bluish-white clouds, there were two six-foot-tall strong men in armor holding sledgehammers and beating a huge drum. Every blow made the air explode, and powerful force was released, forming circles of air waves. Moreover, when the sounds of the two drums intersected and collided, lightning appeared out of thin air.

"You're making such a big fuss, are you afraid that others won't know?" Li Yi looked calm, he knew that the enemy was coming.

But that’s how the God of Incense and Worship travels.

The ceremonial guards are complete and grand, demonstrating one's identity and status.

Because only in this way, when they are seen by mortals, will they kneel down more devoutly, which is conducive to spreading the reputation of the incense god and consolidating beliefs. If every incense god is low-key and does not show up, how can the people know that there are gods in this world, and how can they be willing to spontaneously build temples and set up statues?
The manifestation of God is itself a way of spreading faith.

The drum beats began to accelerate at this moment, as if a general was going to the battlefield and the drums were beating to cheer.

"Where is Taiyi Yaodao?"

A majestic shout was heard from the clouds, and the sound spread over dozens of miles in an instant, covering the entire Huguang City. It was obviously to let the people in the city know that Master Taiyi was not the state teacher, but just a demon. Now that he had angered the gods, he had to come today to kill the demon and purge the world.

The purpose of doing this is to weaken the power of his incense and make the nearby people distrust Taiyi. It is not just a simple challenge.

"It's so noisy."

Li Yi's eyes darkened, but he didn't give in at all. He stood up from the golden auspicious clouds, and then a red cloud rose into the sky. A powerful aura emanated, and the surrounding air became hot instantly. The sky, which had been dim, became bright again this time. In addition, he once again activated the wood energy.

The five elements generate each other, the liver wood helps the heart fire, and with the power of the twelve acupoints, the original red cloud energy becomes even more terrifying, instantly turning into a sky full of red light and spreading in all directions. And that's not all.

Li Yi even let out a long roar, swallowing all the rosy clouds in the sky in one gulp, and then practiced Taoism.

Breathe the wind!

As the strong wind blew, it instantly turned into a raging fire. The fire was violent and fierce, penetrating every hole, and in just the blink of an eye, it burned up three hundred miles of the sky. The drifting bluish-white clouds were instantly covered by the strong wind and fire.

The cloud layer was immediately scorched red, like a sea of ​​fire.

The deafening drum sounds just now came to an abrupt end at this moment, and then screams were heard continuously from the clouds. One figure after another could not withstand the Wind Calling Technique. Their bodies were blown away, and their souls were ignited by the fire in their hearts. They disappeared between heaven and earth without even a chance to resist.

There were also some monsters that fell from the clouds with flames all over their bodies, but they turned into charcoal in mid-air before they fell into Taihu Lake, and only some residues were left when the wind blew.''

"Trash players shouldn't be involved and leave the scene." Li Yi watched the scene calmly. He felt his ears were much quieter now.

The fire in my heart is still burning and the strong wind is still sweeping.

The bluish-white clouds began to dissipate at this moment, and a chaotic scene was revealed. The fire killed and wounded them severely.

Among them, there were a few figures who broke through the area covered by the raging fire, rushed out from the sky and came to the Taihu Lake. But even so, they were all covered in dust and exuded a burnt smell. Some of them still had flames on their bodies, and they could not put out. In the end, they had to cut off a part of their body and forcibly get rid of the scorching heat, so that they felt better.

"Is this the fire that killed Wang Qijun, the godly general who protects the country, in the capital? I didn't take it seriously before, but now I know how powerful this fire is. All the elite soldiers I brought with me were buried in the sea of ​​fire. Even the strong men who followed me in the battles were not spared."

A man with a dusty face but extraordinary bravery, now holding a Panlong Spear, showed a little surprise in his eyes.

This person was none other than the Marquis of Guanjun who was conferred the title by the founding emperor. His real name was Zhao Zhenshan, but his surname was not Zhao. He was given the imperial surname because of his great contributions.

"This fire is not just powerful, it is simply terrifying. This fire stretches for three hundred miles. Who in the world can resist it? I almost died in the sea of ​​fire. Fortunately, Master Taiyi's magic was not aimed at me, otherwise I can't say for sure." A middle-aged man wearing a green robe and a long beard had his beard burnt and his body was mutilated.

Obviously, he had to sacrifice part of his body in order to withstand the fire, but his body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This person's identity is not simple either. He was a thousand-year-old pine tree that had attained enlightenment and was named Qingsong. He was named the God of Shoushan Mountain and enjoyed great worship from the world.

After the monster obtained it, it was named a true god and had practiced for a thousand years. Such existence is rare in the world.

"This general knew that the person we have to join forces to deal with is no simple matter. Where is Lady Baishui? This is Taihu Lake, her territory. Why doesn't she come out to put out the fire?" A general wearing armor and holding a long sword, looking mighty and majestic, his tiger eyes scanning the surroundings.

Apart from Li Yi, no one else saw Lady Baishui.

"He was probably killed. Didn't you see that Taiyi Zhenren was holding a sword? I recognize that sword. It's called Shanque, and it was the sword of Emperor Yingzong. When he was boating on Lake Tai, he made a bet with Lady Baishui and lost. He had no choice but to throw the sword into the lake. Now that Shanque sword is in the hands of Taiyi Zhenren, it's obvious what happened to it."

The person who spoke was a young man in black brocade clothes. His name was Heishan Jun, and he was a tiger that had become a spirit. However, when he looked at Li Yi at this moment, his eyes were not hostile, but full of respect and deference.

"Empress Baishui is dead?" Champion Marquis Zhao Zhenshan's face darkened at this moment: "Didn't we agree to let her wait for us in Taihu Lake?"

"I guess she can't wait any longer and wants to protect her own temple. I just didn't expect that Niangniang Baishui would be killed after taking out the Emperor's Sword. This Taoist Taiyi is really unfathomable." Taoist Qingsong's tone was very solemn at this moment.

It's not just him.

So does everyone else.

After all, he burned all the people accompanying him to death as soon as they met, leaving them no chance to show up, and even he himself suffered a lot before escaping from the fire.

Such means are truly rare in the world.

"If you guys don't leave, do you want to die?" Above the golden auspicious clouds, Li Yi faced these people calmly.

I didn't expect that my father had planted a traitor in the room.

The Black Mountain Lord was obviously the black tiger beside the emperor. Now he had transformed into a human form and participated in the battle. He was obviously planning to turn against his teammates at the critical moment and stab them in the back.

Unfortunately, the others are still in the dark.

In addition, Niangniang Baishui left the stage early, and the remaining three people were in danger before the fight even started.

Obviously, this is a battle with almost no chance of winning, and after these people die, the whole world will be shocked, and no incense god will dare to jump out and openly confront Li Yi, unless Emperor Yin himself takes action.

But Emperor Yin is concerned about the country and how he would risk his life so easily.
