"Not bad!"
Nuwa was one of the three sovereigns of the human race, but she also had a human body and a snake tail, and was also known as the ancestor of all demons.
The ancient demons that wreak havoc are sealed away, not killed.
But Zhang Xiaoshan is different. He is a human, so his main approach to dealing with these demons is to kill them.
Therefore, the Water Demon Beast's ability to turn the Nanzhao Kingdom into a swamp and flood is what it fears most.
You should know that his trading post is located on the Ba River!
If the Water Demon Beast were to cause trouble anywhere, it wouldn't just be a problem for the Nanzhao Kingdom, but (good luck) the end of the entire Central Plains.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan's agreement to take action was not a matter of momentary anger.
Soon, the two arrived at Dianchi Lake, where the water demon beast was sealed.
This is not the scenic area with its railings and crowds of people that it became known in later generations.
On the contrary, because of the legends of demons, there is no one in the surrounding area for ten miles, and very few people within a hundred miles.
Therefore, when it came to a fight, Zhang Xiaoshan was not worried at all about harming others.
"Junior sister, make your move!"
Yin and Yang, the ultimate principle, the decree of Heaven and Earth!
As the Yin-Yang symbol enveloped the entire Dianchi Lake, the previously turbulent waters suddenly came to a standstill, transforming into a mirror-like surface without a ripple, eerily quiet.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan pointed a pure yang spiritual light at his fingertips, directly targeting the statue in the corner of Dianchi Lake.
As the pure yang spiritual light entered the center of the statue's brow, the statue immediately cracked open, gradually revealing a stunningly beautiful young woman with a human body and a snake's tail inside.
At this moment, Lin Qing'er also looked confused. Finally, her beautiful eyes glanced at the young man and woman in mid-air.
Chapter 992 Orochi VS Phoenix
"May I ask who you two are, seniors?"
As a descendant of Nuwa, Lin Qing'er could sense Zhang Xiaoshan's aura, which was far more terrifying than the Water Demon Beast.
Even though Li Yang appears weak, his strength far surpasses that of the legendary Sword Saint Dugu in his prime, making him an unfathomable figure.
However, at this moment, the two people's magical powers were balanced, maintaining a mysterious state of yin and yang intermingling.
It is faintly visible that the entire Dianchi Lake is unusually calm.
Yin and Yang calm the storms, the two polarities stabilize the universe.
Even Lin Qing'er couldn't help but look solemn; this was a great Taoist master.
"I am Chunyangzi, and I was an old friend of your father's senior brother, Changqing."
"I have come today at the request of Fellow Daoist Dugu, the leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, to slay the Water Demon Beast and help your Nuwa lineage break free from the shackles that have bound you for thousands of years."
As Zhang Xiaoshan raised his hand, another streak of light landed beside Lin Qing'er.
A golden-red jade pendant was Zhang Xiaoshan's personal treasure—the Nanming Lihuo Seal.
"When the Water Demon Beast is born, you can use this Phoenix Essence to fight against it."
Once the water monster emerged from the water, the two of us suspended it in mid-air and utterly annihilated it with forbidden power.
The Water Demon Beast is terrifying because it is born from water and is immortal!
However, once it leaves the water, its problem of "being born from water" can be solved, and then the chaotic energy can be used to break its immortality.
Therefore, Lin Qing'er saw through Zhang Xiaoshan's plan and looked up at the sky above 903 in shock.
Although she didn't know what the forbidden power Zhang Xiaoshan was talking about was.
But Zhang Xiaoshan's confidence was definitely not unfounded.
Moreover, this is the essence of a phoenix.
In her perception, the power contained in this phoenix essence was no less than that of the water demon beast, and perhaps even stronger.
Zhang Xiaoshan entrusted her with such a precious treasure, and Lin Qing'er couldn't help but feel that the water demon beast might be doomed this time.
At the same time, she was also surprised by Zhang Xiaoshan's identity.
Chunyangzi?
Even though she was far away in Miao territory, Lin Qing'er had heard of it.
Even more than his status as a cultivator, Lin Qing'er admired his compassionate and benevolent heart.
She had once set foot in the Central Plains and understood the immense compassion of the Royal Merchant Guild, Kunlun Pharmacy, and the orphanage. Zhang Xiaoshan was a renowned cultivator throughout the land, a figure who intimidated both demons and monsters, capable of reaching the highest heavens and ruling over the ten earthly realms.
Therefore, worldly wealth is of no use to Zhang Xiaoshan.
All of this is for the sake of merit.
And what is merit? Undoubtedly, it is the benevolence and compassion in her eyes.
As for Xu Changqing? Although he is her father in a certain sense, they are not truly related by blood.
Her (bjca) father is Lin Yeping, who is Xu Changqing's previous incarnation.
"Qing'er thanks you for your help, senior."
"No need. Chunyangzi did this because he was worried that the water demon beast might harm the Bashui Dam in the future and cause irreparable damage to the land of China. He was just taking precautions."
"I see!"
Lin Qing'er's beautiful eyes immediately sparkled, and she understood Zhang Xiaoshan's concerns.
In this way, she wouldn't have to worry about Zhang Xiaoshan's other motives or hidden agendas.
Perhaps there was also goodwill involved in helping the Nuwa lineage.
But Zhang Xiaoshan's actions were for the sake of the land of China, and more precisely, for the safety of the Bashui Dam.
After all, she had heard Dugu Yuyun talk about the importance of the Ba River Dam, which not only controlled the most vital waterways in the land, but also that if the dam were to malfunction, countless lives could be lost in an instant.
This is something Zhang Xiaoshan will not allow.
Even though the possibility is extremely low, Zhang Xiaoshan, as a powerful figure of the righteous path, naturally takes precautions against the threat of the water demon beast.
boom!
A towering wave suddenly erupted, a hundred-foot-high torrent crashing towards Lin Qing'er, who had just awakened.
Perhaps due to their sworn enemy relationship, the Water Demon ignored Zhang Xiaoshan in the air. After being unsealed, it attacked Lin Qing'er directly. The terrifying waves carried a deafening impact, aiming to smash Lin Qing'er to pieces.
Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Yang also got a clear look at the appearance of the water demon beast from above; it turned out to be a giant eight-headed serpent that was a hundred feet long.
Eight ferocious snake heads, as if forged from steel, spewed water jets equivalent to super-high-pressure guns, capable of flattening even a towering mountain in an instant.
But at this moment, Lin Qing'er held the snake staff in one hand and the phoenix blood jade in the other, blocking the water column full of destructive power from the water demon beast.
However, Lin Qing'er immediately felt a terrifying power of heaven and earth supporting her.
An attack that would normally require all one's strength to block can now be stopped with just 50% of one's mana.
She knew that this was Zhang Xiaoshan's help.
The water demon beast couldn't sense it because Zhang Xiaoshan had concealed the Yin-Yang Qi Great Divine Power, hiding in mid-air with great magical power.
Zhang Xiaoshan was planning to ambush the Water Demon Beast, so naturally he couldn't let the Water Demon Beast know that there was an ambush above.
At this moment, the entire Dianchi Lake was shrouded in the Taiji diagram, becoming a world controlled by Zhang Xiaoshan, similar to a barrier domain. The water demon beast in Dianchi Lake was unaware that it had become a sitting duck.
However, to kill the Water Demon Beast, it must be lured out of the water.
Otherwise, due to its ability to survive in water and its immortality, the Water Demon Beast will soon be reborn after being killed.
Tweet!
Suddenly, a phoenix cry rang out, echoing across the heavens.
Then, the blazing flames, amidst the surging waves, seemed to rise from the ashes in the water, and a misty vapor instantly filled the entire Dianchi Lake.
Roar!
The eight snake heads roared to the sky at the same time, their sinister and ruthless eyes gleaming with immense killing intent.
boom!
Amidst the billowing steam, the Yamata no Orochi and the Flaming Phoenix simultaneously unleashed their powerful attacks.
Water and fire clashed, creating towering waves on one side and raging flames on the other.
Although Zhang Xiaoshan sealed off Dianchi Lake without harming the surrounding areas, the sheer scale of this conflict between water and fire immediately attracted the attention of cultivators throughout the Southern Frontier.
Those from the Moon Worship Cult and the Nuwa lineage, who were not far away, all looked towards Dianchi Lake, their faces filled with shock.
They knew what great terror lurked within Dianchi Lake.
They knew that such a commotion meant that the terrifying monster had broken free of its seal.
But what kind of being could possibly exist that could contend with that monster?
Judging from its voice, it must be a bird-like demon.
In no time, dozens of cultivators from the Southern Frontier had arrived at the shore of Dianchi Lake.
At this moment, beneath the raging flames, the water vapor dissipated, and everyone saw on Dianchi Lake, amidst the giant waves, the ferocious and terrifying Yamata no Orochi and the phoenix divine bird wrapped in rolling flames.
Even the leader of the Moon Worship Cult couldn't believe his eyes as he watched this scene.
Could it really be the goddess Nuwa manifesting her power, sending her divine beast to destroy the water demon?
The Holy Maiden and the Priestess of Nuwa's lineage, in particular, looked at the figure under the phoenix in disbelief. It was none other than Lin Qing'er, the descendant of Nuwa who had sacrificed herself to suppress the water demon beast.
At this moment, with the help of the phoenix, Lin Qing'er was not at all at a disadvantage in her battle against the water demon beast.
Immediately, both the Moon Worship Cult Leader and Nuwa's faction wanted to help each other.
But as they stepped into Dianchi Lake, a terrifying, overwhelming pressure, like the gaze of a god or demon, caused everyone to retreat simultaneously, looking up at the lake in fear.
It was as if some great terror was about to engulf them at any moment.
Chapter 993 Orochi VS Phoenix in Flames (Part Two)
"how is this possible?"
At this moment, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult also noticed the abnormality and looked solemnly at the surrounding Dianchi Lake.
It was clear that any disturbance was quelled before it even left Dianchi Lake. Otherwise, the aftershocks of the battle between these two super monsters would have completely destroyed not only the vast ocean and the Heze region, but at least a hundred miles away.
But at this moment, the entire Dianchi Lake was shrouded by a powerful and terrifying force of heaven and earth. Any attack was slowly subdued, and only ripples remained beneath their feet.
With such terrifying power, it's no wonder they all felt like they were being targeted by gods and demons.
Even the lineage of Nuwa noticed this strange scene.
However, this is a good thing for them. Once the aftermath erupts, the entire Nanzhao Kingdom will become a vast swamp, barren of everything.
At this moment, a powerful being clearly intervened and quelled the aftermath of the battle.
At the same time, looking at Lin Qing'er below the phoenix, it was even more bizarre that someone who had already sacrificed herself to achieve enlightenment had been resurrected again.
Could it really be the goddess Nuwa manifesting her power?
Otherwise, who in the world possesses such terrifying cultivation to quell the aftermath of the battle between these two ancient divine beasts?
However, with the Fire Phoenix being on par with the Water Demon Beast, and with Lin Qing'er's assistance, they still held the advantage.
"This must be the essence of a phoenix, the magic weapon of that Venerable One from Kunlun Mountain?"
"Phoenix essence?"
At this moment, a master from the Southern Frontier Immortal Sect broke the surrounding silence, seemingly lost in thought.
At the same time, everyone was shocked and looked at the phoenix fighting in the fire in the lake in disbelief, and then suddenly realized.
The phoenix is an ancient divine beast, and even demons that contain a trace of phoenix blood are powerful demons at the level of demon kings or demon emperors.
Moreover, a pure-blooded ancient phoenix simply cannot exist in this world.
The Water Demon Beast is also an ancient magical beast. Although it is not as strong as the Phoenix, the fact that it is called "ancient" makes it overwhelmingly powerful against them.
Therefore, they never doubted the existence of the phoenix from the beginning.
