My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

Inugami Odenku was drinking alone in his room, trying to drown his sorrows, but only the alcohol made him more miserable!

Just then, he suddenly heard a creak, and the door opened.

A woman walked in from outside the door.

Inuue Mitsuki's eyes were glazed with drunkenness.

Looking at the woman in front of him,

It was the queen he had been longing for day and night.

After losing Chili Pepper, he discovered that the Queen was the woman who loved him the most.

tonight,

The queen was dressed in exceptionally bright colors, looking flamboyant and glamorous.

After she entered the room, she casually closed the door behind her.

Inugami Odenkuchi quickly stood up, pulled the queen into his arms, and kissed her neck.

The queen trembled, let out a soft moan, and nestled in the arms of the dog-like Oda-no-Kuji.

The two were like dry tinder, ready to ignite at any moment.

Inugami Odenkuchi carried the Queen directly to his bed.

"Inugami Oda-kuba, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" The queen was both eager and afraid.

I missed you so much.

Inugami Mitako didn't care about any of that and reached out to tear off the queen's clothes.

The two of them went to bed together.

About half an hour later, Inugami Mita was sweating profusely and panting heavily, feeling extremely thirsty.

The queen was also panting heavily, her whole body covered in fragrant sweat, and her face flushed.

The queen glanced at him, pursed her lips, and said, "How dare you! I only came to see you, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient."

If the king finds out, won't your head be on your hands?

Inugami Oden hugged her shoulders: "I love you so much, how can I care about anything else?"

"No wonder people say that you men are driven by your lower bodies; it's true."

He'd risk his life for the woman he loves.

Inugami Odenkuchi chuckled: "Isn't there a saying..."

"To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is a romantic endeavor."

The Queen pinched Inugami Oda's arm: "You rascal, I think you're incredibly lecherous. So, let me ask you again, what exactly is going on between you and that little firecracker?"

How far have things progressed between you two?

"Well," Inugami Odenkuchi said, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, "Let me put it this way, it was just a fling between her and me."

The person I truly love is you.

The Queen waved her hand and said, "Enough with the pretense. You're just putting on an act. You've already taken it to bed."

"No, things haven't progressed to that point between me and Chili."

Is it true?

"Yes," Inugami Oden insisted.

"That time, weren't you going to marry Chili Pepper? What kind of grand wedding ceremony were you going to hold?" The Queen asked, half believing and half doubting.

"Oh, Your Majesty, please don't take it so seriously."

then,

I was confused for a moment.

I wanted to prove to everyone that I'm no less capable than Soga no Emishi, so why is Soga no Emishi's official rank higher than mine?

"The Soga family is powerful and deeply rooted in this dynasty."

No matter what, they promoted you, and yet you try to steal their woman. What kind of person are you?

"You fought with them, and now look what happened, you've lost your official position!" The Queen sat up.

Thinking about this, Inuue Mitaku felt even more aggrieved.

Inugami Mitaku recounted how Yakushi Eiji had pleaded with King Shumei.

"So, Yakushi Eri has been quite good to you. You should thank her properly in the future."

"Your Majesty, please help me think of a way to get him back to his original position. If he could be promoted to a higher rank, that would be even better."

The queen took the clothes and, while putting them on, said, "I heard that King Yamashiro Ōe has hidden an armory at the foot of Mount Rokko. Your Majesty is furious and intends to seize King Yamashiro Ōe's armory."

I think this is a good opportunity for you to redeem yourself.

If you can capture the Great King of Yamabe and seize the armory, then you will have accomplished a great feat.

If the king is pleased, he might reinstate you to your original position.

I will speak well of you before the King; perhaps you can even be promoted three ranks.

When Inugami Oden heard this, his eyes lit up, and he kept rubbing his hands together: "You're right, this is indeed a good idea."

"Then I will lead my troops there immediately to capture the eldest brother, King Shanbei."

The queen rolled her eyes at him: "You're such a grown man, yet you're not steady in your words and actions at all."

Upon hearing this, Inugami Odenkuchi asked, "What do you think I should do?"

The queen brushed her hair aside and asked, "Do you know the Blue Brahma?"

"I know, she's old and ugly, like a skeleton."

"Why do you always go off on tangents? What business is it of yours whether someone is old or ugly?" The Queen glared at him again.

"Her giant scorpions were all killed by Li Chenggan, and I heard that she is now training a giant crocodile."

Inuue Odenkuchi was taken aback upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "You mean the Blue Rascal is training crocodiles?"

"Exactly!"

Upon hearing this, Inugami Odenkuchi shook his head: "What's the use of that?"

How much trouble can a crocodile cause?

The queen coiled her hair on top of her head into a bun: "Then you are wrong. The Blue Rascal trained not an ordinary crocodile, but an enormous crocodile, more than ten zhang long."

"Huh? Where in the world can you find a crocodile that big?"

"I don't believe it either, but it's true."

Go find the Blue Rascal and ask her to help you capture the Mountain King. That way, your chances of winning will be much higher.

otherwise,

You might not be a match for King Yamashiro.

Inugami Odenko blinked and thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

Thus, Inugami Odenkuchi led two thousand soldiers and the Blue Rashad along the Dojima River to the foot of Mount Rokko.

Inuue Mitako was quite surprised to see the giant crocodile rolling around in the Dojima River. It was indeed huge and ferocious.

After they arrived at Mount Rokko

(Subject) They found the cave and engaged in a fierce battle with the army under the command of the Great King of the Mountain Back.

Inugami Odenkuchi miscalculated again; he had originally thought that Yamashiro Ōe would not be difficult to deal with.

I didn't expect to be so careless this time.

The two thousand men he brought were no match for the enemy.

Seeing that her side was about to be defeated, the Blue Rakshasa woman picked up a short flute and began to play it.

A moment later, the giant crocodile crawled up the Dojima River, killing and injuring hundreds of the personal guards under King Yamashiro.

Upon seeing that he could not withstand the attack, King Yamabe had no choice but to lead his men to retreat.

Fortunately, King Yamashiro had already ordered most of the weapons to be moved away.

Inugami Mitsuki and the Blue Bharadvaja returned to report to King Shumin.

Although they failed to capture Yamashiro Ooshima this time...

However, they also captured a considerable number of weapons.

King Shuming rewarded Inugami Mitaku.

then,

King Shuming said to Inugami Mitaku, "Yakushi Eiji pleaded for you before me, and I have already made you his deputy. This is already an act of leniency."

Although you achieved some success this time,

However, since he failed to capture the eldest brother of the mountain, his official position will remain unchanged for the time being.

"When you achieve further merit in the future, I will promote you to a higher official position."

Although Inugami Oden was not entirely satisfied.

but,

Since King Shuming has said so, there will be opportunities for promotion in the future.

then,

He seized the opportunity to persuade him: "I heard that the King has released Li Chengqian."

"Yes, I did release him. Is there anything wrong with that?" King Shuming asked.

"Your Majesty, I believe this is absolutely unacceptable."

"Oh, why?"

People often say that releasing a tiger back into the mountains will lead to endless troubles.

Li Chenggan was a dragon among men; in my opinion, he was even more formidable than Liu Bang back then.

At the Feast at Hongmen, Xiang Yu, being kind-hearted and soft-hearted, let Liu Bang go.

He even thought Liu Bang was a loyal minister, and that from then on Liu Bang would be grateful to him and loyal to him.

result,

He was wrong.

Ultimately, Liu Bang forced him to commit suicide at the Wujiang River.

Think about it, if Xiang Yu had acted decisively and killed Liu Bang back then, none of those things would have happened.

"It would be best to take this opportunity to kill Li Chenggan; this would be the safest course of action."

King Shuming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this appropriate? If so, how can I explain it to the Tang Dynasty?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this?"

Didn't they go back by boat?

Who can predict the winds and waves at sea?

A sudden gust of wind can capsize a ship and send it crashing to the bottom of the sea—aren't these all perfectly normal occurrences? Who can really say for sure?

Lan Po Rakshasa was injured by Li Chengqian's sword energy when they were in Chang'an, and she has always harbored resentment.

therefore,

She seized the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, Li Chengqian has slain my Giant Scorpion, and I am heartbroken."

Recently, I trained a giant crocodile, and sending it to attack Li Chenggan is the perfect solution.

Even if he knew, he could only blame his bad luck for encountering a crocodile in the sea. Who else could he blame?

Last time, King Shuming was also very angry because Li Chenggan had coerced him at the banquet.

He felt that Li Chenggan had made him lose face in front of everyone.

"Are you confident you can kill Li Chenggan?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

This time, victory is assured. Li Chenggan is definitely not going to escape; we will make sure he dies a horrible death!

King Shuming nodded: "Alright then, you can handle it as you see fit, but make sure it's done cleanly and neatly, leaving no trace."

With King Shuming's permission, Inugami Mitsuki and the Blue Brahma woman led their men to hunt down Li Chenggan.

The boat that Li Chenggan was on was moving slowly ahead.

Inugami Mitsuki and the Blue Rashad woman were hot on their heels.

Finally, they caught up with us.

Once the giant crocodile was in the sea, it was like a fish in water, extremely excited.

To the surprise of Inugami Mitsuki and the Blue Rascal, the giant crocodile had fought Li Chenggan for several rounds but had not gained any advantage.

Inu no Mita no Kawa was truly surprised that Li Chenggan was so brave that he dared to shoot the giant crocodile with a crossbow.

That kind of courage is something that no ordinary person could do.

Li Chengan stared intently at Inugami Oda-kumi: "Hasn't your official position already been revoked?"

What brings you here again?

Inugami Mitaku laughed: "Li Chenggan, that's right, I was indeed stripped of my official position, all thanks to you."

but,

The King then appointed me as his deputy at the General's Medicine Master's Meeting.

"So, King Shuming has been quite good to you."

"It's not bad." Inugami Odenkuchi looked smug.

"Are you here to kill me?" Li Chengan asked bluntly, getting straight to the point.

"You guessed right, I've come to kill you on the orders of King Shuming." Inugami Oda said, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Li Chengan was also taken aback when he heard this.

He never expected that King Shuming would try to poison him again.

A few days ago,

King Shuming was pushed off the second floor by King Shanbei, and the back of his head hit the dragon's head.

He was unconscious, but I managed to revive him by picking the snow lingzhi. I never expected that he would set up a banquet to trick me into going there, intending to kill me at the banquet.

Even so, considering the bigger picture, Li Chenggan still released King Shuming. He never expected that the king would now send Inugami Mitsuhiro and Lan Porasha to hunt him down.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ying complained, "Your Highness, did you hear that?"

King Shuming has sent Inugami Mitako and that old hag to kill you again. What good is it to treat someone like a jackal?

On the contrary, the more tolerant and forgiving you are of him, the more he will take advantage of you and think you are weak and easy to bully.

Although Qin Ying was a rough man, his words, though crude, were not without reason.

"There might be some misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding? It's come to this point, and you're still speaking up for King Shuming."

Your Highness, let me tell you this: King Shuming is a complete scoundrel!

The way to deal with that kind of person is to fight fire with fire.

"If it were me, last time at the banquet, I would have cut off his head and used it as a football!" Qin Ying said irritably.

Li Chengan sighed: "It seems that I had imagined them to be too wonderful."

The blue Rakshasa woman chuckled eerily, her voice hoarse, low, and shrill, sending chills down one's spine: "Li Chenggan, do you really want to just leave like this?"

In Yanqi, you injured my giant centipede.

You cut off several of the centipede's claws.

While I was in Chang'an, I was wounded by your sword and almost died.

Fortunately, I survived and arrived in the Japanese kingdom, where my sword wound was healed.

I've gone to great lengths and devoted a great deal of effort to finally cultivate some giant king scorpions.

Yet you slaughtered them all on Mount Rokko; you and I are sworn enemies.

now,

In desperation, I've trained another giant crocodile. Today, I'll show you its power.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengan thought to himself, "This old witch is truly a wicked person."

Back in the Western Regions, she trained a giant centipede.

Now, they've trained a giant crocodile at sea.

It was clear that the giant crocodile was extremely ferocious, devouring people without spitting out the bones.

"Blue Rakshasa, you are old enough to go back and enjoy your retirement."

However, every time you oppose our Great Tang Dynasty, today I will have you arrested and handed over to the Dali Temple for punishment according to the law!

The Rakshasa woman sneered and continued, "If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, and surrender, we might spare your life."

If you dare to resist, don't blame us for being impolite.

Li Chengan was also furious. He nocked an arrow and shot it at the left shoulder of the Blue Brahma.

The blue Rakshasa woman was so frightened that she dodged to the side, and the arrow fell back into the sea.

Enraged, the Blue Rakshasa woman pulled out a short flute and began to play it.

The sound of the flute was sometimes melodious and sometimes high-pitched, and the sound drifted with the wind, echoing across the sea.

Then the crocodile became unusually excited, baring its teeth and claws.

His eyes gleamed with malice, and a single tear rolled down the corner of his right eye.

Li Chengan's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, for he had a premonition that the giant crocodile would launch another attack.

at this time,

The system's voice rang in Li Chengqian's ears: "Host, we have detected that the opponent has broken through their defenses, their emotional fluctuations are abnormal, and they have reached the brink of rage. This system provides you with three options:"

First, kneel down and beg for mercy;

Secondly, immediately jump into the sea to take temporary shelter;

Third, suicidal confrontation;

Please select!

Upon hearing this, Li Chengan thought to himself, "What kind of lousy ideas are these? Not a single one of them is serious."

"My third item!"

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the giant crocodile stretched out its right forelimb to grab him.

Li Chengan saw that the giant crocodile's forelimbs were at least two zhang long, like a wall.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ying shouted, "Your Highness, be careful! Danger!"

He quickly pushed Li Chengqian aside and stood protectively in front of him.

Well, the giant crocodile failed to catch Li Chenggan, but instead grabbed Qin Ying.

After the giant crocodile grabbed Qin Ying, it shook its right forelimb up and down in the air a few times, making Qin Ying dizzy and disoriented.

Qin Ying tried to break free, but found that the giant crocodile's forelimbs gripped him tighter and tighter, almost suffocating him.

His body was completely suspended in mid-air; he had brute strength, but he couldn't exert any force.

Upon seeing this, the blue Rakshasa woman shouted, "You beast! What are you so smug about? You've arrested the wrong person!"

The giant crocodile seemed to understand the Blue Bharadvaja's speech.

It quickly loosened its grip.

With a "plop," Qin Ying fell into the sea.

Qin Ying was decent at martial arts on land, but not so good in the water.

He thrashed about three times, then twice, and his body began to sink.

When a person who cannot swim is drowning, they will desperately cling to even the smallest straw and refuse to let go.

This is how Qin Ying is at this moment.

He groped around in the water and finally caught an arrow with his right hand.

He gripped the arrow tightly in his hand, refusing to let go no matter what.

That arrow was the one Li Chengqian shot at the Blue Bharadvaja who fell into the water.

Li Chengan was also quite frightened when he saw Qin Ying fall into the sea.

He gripped the deck railing, leaned down to look, and called out several times, "Qin Ying, how are you? Come on up!"

Qin Ying did not react.

Li Chengqian watched as Qin Ying slowly sank into the sea.

He quickly prepared the necessary items, securing one end of the rope to the deck and the other end to his waist.

Li Chenggan said to Songtsen Gampo and Daozhao, "You two be careful."

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Songtsen Gampo was also a little nervous, because his purpose in coming here was to protect Li Chenggan.

If anything were to happen to Li Chenggan, how would he explain it to the Heavenly Khan upon his return?

At this moment, the giant crocodile flicked its tail upwards again, creating white waves that splashed into the sea like shattered jade.

The giant crocodile swept its tail horizontally, sending objects flying everywhere on the deck.

It looked like his tail was about to hit Li Chenggan.

Li Chenggan leaped into the sea.

It was winter by then, and the seawater was bone-chillingly cold.

Li Chengan gritted his teeth, no longer caring about anything else.

He opened his eyes and searched for Qin Ying in the seawater.

Qin Ying was indeed a landlubber; her skills on land were quite good.

But once in the water, my hands and feet wouldn't obey me. I drank until I was half full, but since I could drink as much seawater as I wanted without paying, I figured I could.

He struggled a few times, and his body began to sink.

Li Chengan searched the seawater but couldn't find Qin Ying anywhere.

Li Chenggan was even more anxious.

He thought to himself that Qin Ying was Qin Shubao's grandson, and if anything happened to Qin Ying, Qin Shubao would be a force to be reckoned with.

Thinking of this, Li Chengan quickly swam upstream, poked his head above the water, and took a deep breath.

Li Chengan took a deep breath, plunged back into the sea, and continued swimming downwards and deeper into the water, searching for Qin Ying.

however,

At this moment, a huge creature was rapidly moving towards Li Chengqian directly in front of him.

Li Chengan looked closely and saw that the enormous creature was indeed the giant crocodile.

Li Chengan saw this and felt a chill run down his spine.

When Li Chengan saw the giant crocodile heading towards him, he turned and ran.

Li Chengqian was indeed a good swimmer; he had once learned to swim from a Turkic man named Shuijishe.

Moreover, his predecessor enjoyed swimming and fitness.

but,

Although he is a good swimmer, how can he compare to a crocodile?

The crocodile swam in the water like an arrow shot from a bow.

Even though Li Chenggan swims very fast, he still can't outswim the crocodile.

Li Chengan paddled furiously while looking back.

The distance between the giant crocodile and himself was getting shorter and shorter, from 5 meters to 3 meters, and then to 1 meter.

The crocodile opened its huge mouth to bite Li Chengqian's legs.

After the crocodile opened its mouth, it quickly snapped it down, and it looked like it was about to bite Li Chenggan.

Li Chengan suddenly plunged downwards again, his entire body sinking more than ten feet.

Even so, the giant crocodile still bit off his right shoe and swallowed it.

The seawater gets colder and colder as you go down, chilling you to the bone.

The giant crocodile became enraged when it failed to bite Li Chenggan.

It began to ram the bottom of the cabin with its huge and long tail, making Li Chenggan's ship sway and rock.

Seeing that the boat was about to capsize, Songtsen Gampo and Daozhao lost their footing and fell onto the deck.

The two of them rolled around, and at any moment, they could fall into the sea.

Li Chengan was furious, thinking that if the crocodile continued to torment him like this...

The boat is about to capsize.

If that's the case, how will I be able to return to Chang'an?

Li Chengan drew the Qinggang Sword from his back and swam towards the crocodile, reaching its tail with lightning speed.

He swung his Qinggang sword and slashed forward.

Logically speaking, that crocodile should have been able to dodge that sword strike.

but,

Its attention was focused on the ship.

Of course, it probably didn't expect Li Chenggan to dare to retaliate.

As a result, the crocodile was caught off guard and its tail was cut off by Li Chenggan.

The Qinggang Sword is indeed as sharp as mud when it cuts through iron!

However, a problem arose: because Li Chengan used too much force, the sword struck a rocky reef.

It was stuck very tightly; Li Chengan tried to pull it out several times, but he couldn't.

Instantly, the seawater turned red with blood.

The crocodile was in excruciating pain.

They turned around and attacked Li Chenggan.

The ship gradually calmed down again, and Songtsen Gampo and Daozhao stood up on the ship once more.

Songtsen Gampo saw that Li Chenggan and Qin Ying were both in the sea and wondered how they were doing.

Songtsen Gampo quickly walked to the railing and tugged at the rope.

Li Chenggan responded, which reassured Songtsen Gampo, who thought that Li Chenggan should still be alive.

Songtsen Gampo also knew that the crocodile was in the water.

After a while, the crocodile's tail floated up.

Everyone who saw it was greatly surprised.

The Blue Rakshasa woman roared, "Li Chenggan, you killed my crocodile! I will never forgive you!"

Songtsen Gampo thought to himself, "Li Chengqian is really something. He actually managed to cut off the tail of that giant crocodile."

Seeing that Li Chenggan had already cut off the giant crocodile's tail, Songtsen Gampo secretly praised him.

He thought to himself, "Li Chengqian is truly remarkable."

That crocodile was so big, yet Li Chengan dared to fight it. I have to help Li Chengan.

However, in his desperation, he couldn't think of any solution.

Just then, Li Chengan pulled on the rope and poked his head out.

Because he had been holding his breath underwater for too long, he needed to bring his head up to get some fresh air.

He said to Songtsen Gampo and Daozhao, "Didn't King Shuming send us a lot of wine?"

Open the mouths of those wine baskets and throw them into the sea, then set them on fire.

By this time, Daozhao had repaired the mast, and the ship was ready to set sail.

Songtsen Gampo, not understanding Li Chengqian's meaning, asked, "Isn't it a waste to pour such fine wine into the sea?"

"Because alcohol has a low density, it will float on the surface of the water. If you set it on fire, you will scare away that giant crocodile!"

Songtsen Gampo and Daozhao both thought Li Chengqian's method was quite good and worth a try.

At this moment, the Rakshasa woman Lan Po, in a small boat, drifted to Li Chengqian's side.

She raised the single-pronged pestle and smashed it down on Li Chengqian's head.

Li Chengan was still in the seawater when he quickly sank back down.

He dived three or four zhang deep and finally saw Qin Ying.

He stepped forward and hugged Qin Ying tightly.

At this point, Qin Ying was already in a semi-comatose state.

Li Chengan held Qin Ying with his left hand while frantically paddling with his right.

At this moment, the giant crocodile returned, opened its huge mouth, and revealed its sharp fangs to bite Li Chenggan.

Li Chenggan no longer had any weapons.

Li Chenggan wondered if he was really going to have to sit and wait for death this time.

The crocodile's mouth was about to close again.

In desperation, Li Chengan noticed that Qin Ying had a sharp arrow in her hand.

Li Chengan then took the arrow and put it into the crocodile's mouth, with the tip pointing upwards and the fletching downwards.

Just as the crocodile was about to bite, it was stopped by the arrow.

Li Chengan tried to pull out the Qinggang Sword again, and finally succeeded.

Li Chengan swung his sword again, severing the giant crocodile's right forelimb.

The giant crocodile was rolling around in the seawater.

at this time,

A fire broke out on the sea, and the giant crocodile opened its eyes wide and saw it.

As Li Chengan said, such wild beasts are immediately frightened when they see fire.

The giant crocodile sank into the seabed and swam into the depths, fleeing in panic.

Li Chengan pulled Qin Ying along and swam several hundred meters away from the burning site.

Li Chengan struggled to drag Qin Ying onto the deck of the ship.

Songtsen Gampo and Daozhao pulled Qin Ying up.

Li Chengan leaped onto the deck.

When Songtsen Gampo saw that Li Chenggan had arrived safely, he finally felt relieved.

He asked, "Your Highness, what exactly happened just now?"

Li Chengan then recounted the events that had transpired.

Songtsen Gampo praised him highly: "You are truly amazing!"

Li Chengan wiped the seawater off his face with his hands, patted Qin Ying's chest, and then patted his back.

Qin Ying finally caught her breath.

He lay on the deck vomiting for a long time, almost bringing up his jaundice.

After Qin Ying realized what was happening, she quickly kowtowed to Li Chenggan: "Just now, did you go into the sea to save me?"

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "You're really heavy."

"You saved my life, so leave the rest to me."

Then Qin Ying stood up and shouted at Lan Po Luosha Nu and Inu-gami Oden Kuchi, "Hey! You old hag, Inu-gami Oden Kuchi, why aren't you two coming over here to die?"

To be honest, even Lan Bodhi and Inugami Mitako were stunned by Li Chenggan.

Because they simply couldn't imagine how Li Chenggan had managed to pull Qin Ying out of the sea.

Lan Po Rakshasa thought to herself, "Could it be that Li Chengqian really killed that giant crocodile?"

This is terrifying.

After discussing it, the Blue Rascal and the Inu no Mita Kuchiki felt that the situation was hopeless.

at this time,

But then, with two loud "bangs," Li Chengan fired two more arrows, which struck the head of both the Blue Rascal and the Inu no Mita Kaki.

The blue wrathful demon and the dog-like Oden were terrified.

At this moment, several more boats appeared in the distance. Among them, a person stood on the bow of the foremost boat. It was none other than Yamabe no Oo.

There were at least 2000 men on that large ship.

Inugami Mitsuki and Ranborasha-no-kami naturally knew that King Yamabe was on Li Chenggan's side.

After discussing it, they decided that the best of the thirty-six stratagems was to flee, so they quickly ran away.

There's a saying, "Where there's life, there's hope."

The two of them made their escape.

Li Chenggan did not give chase.

Before long, the eldest brother of the mountain back had arrived in front of Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness, you have been frightened. I am a step too late."

Li Chengan sheathed his sword, put away his crossbow and other weapons, and smiled slightly: "Thankfully, it was a close call!"

Yamashiro Ooshiro pointed to the tail of the giant crocodile floating on the sea surface and asked, "What's that?"

"That's the crocodile's tail!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother of the mountain was astonished: "Your Highness, you are truly a god."

The crocodile's tail is so thick; you can only imagine how big that crocodile must have been.

"It is over ten zhang long. Your Highness, I have long heard that you defeated a unicorn and a brown bear with your bare hands, but I did not believe it. Today I have finally witnessed it."

Li Chenggan thought to himself, "I just barely escaped death."

He recalled the battle with the giant crocodile and was still shaken: "I was lucky to escape with my life when I fought that giant crocodile."

Fortunately, I possess this Qinggang Sword. Without this precious blade, I would not have survived under any circumstances.
