"You vile woman! You actually conspired with outsiders to murder your own sister! I will haunt you even as a ghost!" Li Qiushui said, spitting out a mouthful of blood before dying.
"Sister!" Upon seeing his sister being killed, Li Canghai rushed over without hesitation.
"Madam, be careful!" Wu Yazi exclaimed in alarm and quickly stopped him.
"Junior brother! Wake up! The child in her belly is not yours at all! She lied to you! She's a shameless slut who seduces other men and got pregnant!" Wu Xingyun wanted to kill Li Canghai but was stopped by Wu Yazi. In a fit of anger, he started fighting with Wu Yazi again.
"No! You're talking nonsense!" Li Canghai retorted, holding Li Qiushui in his arms.
Just then, Li Qiushui, who had just died, suddenly came back to life and struck Li Canghai in the abdomen with a palm!
Chapter 392 Nothing else compares to Wushan.
puff!
Li Canghai spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale, as if he were on his last legs.
Xiaoyaozi was shocked and hurriedly tried to calm Li Canghai's chaotic internal energy again, but this time it was not as easy as before. It was as if this was not her own internal energy, but a foreign internal energy that someone else had injected into her body. He did not expect her inner demon tribulation to be so terrifying!
"It seems that things aren't going well for the Overlord inside. The inner demon tribulation is caused by the inner demon itself. The inner demon possesses intelligence and can detect outsiders entering the tribulation. The Overlord must be careful and lest he bring trouble upon himself," Shoujun said worriedly.
"Ba Wang only had a split soul inside, so he should be fine. But Li Canghai's condition is not good. We should give her a healing medicine first, otherwise her body will be destroyed by her own chaotic true energy before she can resolve her inner demon tribulation," Hao Jiu reminded.
"The God of Wine is right, it was my oversight." Xiaoyaozi quickly opened the system shop, bought a healing pill, and put it into Li Canghai's mouth. The latter's internal injuries were instantly healed, and his complexion improved a lot.
Then, Xiaoyaozi turned his gaze to Xiang Yu, who was standing motionless with his eyes closed.
At this moment, Xiang Yu also encountered a minor trouble. It was as if there was an invisible, transparent wall separating him from everything. Not only could he not prevent the tragedy from happening, but Li Canghai inside could neither see him nor hear his words.
Therefore, Xiang Yu could only act as an observer for the time being, but he was aware of what was happening outside.
"It seems I must break through this barrier." With that thought, Xiang Yu unleashed a powerful punch!
Bang!
"No!" Li Canghai screamed as he fell to the ground.
The baby's originally protruding abdomen was dented by the blow. Although it quickly returned to flat, will the baby survive?
Snap!
"Canghai!" Wu Yazi was momentarily distracted and was also struck by Wu Xingyun's palm, spitting out blood.
"Hahaha... No matter whose child it was, it's all gone now!" Li Qiushui laughed wildly.
"Our child is gone... I'll kill you!" Wu Yazi roared in fury, unleashing all his power to strike Li Qiushui with a palm.
At the same time, Wu Xingyun rushed over and joined forces with Wu Yazi to kill Li Qiushui!
Li Qiushui alone could not withstand the attacks of the two opponents, not to mention that she had already been severely injured by Wu Xingyun and was certain to die.
However, Li Canghai rushed over at that moment and blocked Wu Xingyun for Li Qiushui, shouting, "Sister, run!"
"I don't need your help!" Li Qiushui withdrew her palms from blocking Wu Yazi and instead attacked Li Canghai together with Wu Xingyun.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Li Canghai was seriously injured and on the verge of death, while Li Qiushui was shattered into pieces by a palm strike from the enraged Wuyazi!
"Am I finally going to die? It's better to die. Senior Sister, I'll leave Senior Brother to you in the future..." Li Canghai smiled bitterly. With such severe injuries, even Master couldn't save him.
"Junior sister, what nonsense are you talking about! I won't let you die!" Wu Yazi rushed over and pressed a palm on Li Canghai's shoulder, then channeled his true energy into her. However, his internal energy was already running low, and after being struck twice more, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Senior brother, there's no need to waste your energy. Just give me a quick death." Li Canghai no longer cared about how the child came to be. She suddenly felt that even if everything before her was just a dream, if she didn't die, Wu Yazi might really abandon Li Qiushui to come looking for her. Such a tragedy was not impossible, but how could she allow that?
Li Canghai was not Wu Xingyun after all. Even though he knew that Wu Yazi and Li Qiushui were already married, he still persisted in pursuing and defending his love.
"Then I'll die with you..." Wu Yazi said, raising his palm as if he wanted to kill himself with a single blow.
"Stop!" Wu Xingyun exclaimed in shock!
Click click click... Splash!
The surrounding space seemed to shatter; the invisible barrier was gone!
A faint crackle of electricity still flickered on Xiang Yu's right fist. "Li Canghai! You've been fooled! They're all fake!"
"Who are you!" Wu Yazi glared at Xiang Yu.
"Is there even a question? He must be the child's biological father! Li Canghai, you not only stole your own sister's man, but you also had a child with another man. How can you face your junior brother?" Wu Xingyun angrily rebuked Li Canghai.
"Who are you?" Li Canghai was momentarily dazed, but his eyes gradually regained their luster. "I never imagined that such a magnificent and extraordinary man could exist in this world..."
"Let her go!" Xiang Yu instantly appeared in front of Li Canghai with a single Overlord Step, smashed Wu Yazi with a punch, and scared away Wu Xingyun with a single glance.
"Who are you?! You actually killed our junior brother! Junior sister! Let's avenge him together!" Wu Xingyun asked through gritted teeth, her eyes flashing with malice.
"Xiang Yu, the Overlord!" Xiang Yu shielded Li Canghai behind him and turned his head to say, "You've suffered a qi deviation while practicing your martial arts, and Xiaoyaozi is outside trying his best to save you. I've come to help you overcome this inner demon tribulation!"
Li Canghai had just witnessed Wu Yazi being beaten to pieces by Xiang Yu, and she was both heartbroken and furious. However, when she saw Xiang Yu's back, she couldn't muster the slightest thought of making a move.
This person claims to be Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King, but isn't that a figure from a thousand years ago? And with such high martial arts skills, does he really know his master, Xiaoyaozi? What is this "Inner Demon Tribulation"?
"Xiang Yu, the Overlord? He even knows about the Tribulation of Inner Demons. However, whether you can overcome this Tribulation of Inner Demons depends on whether you have the ability!" As Wu Xingyun spoke, he unleashed a move of the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan, but the power of this move was even stronger than that of Xiaoyaozi!
"Overlord's Storm Kick!" Xiang Yu kicked out a crescent-shaped blade of energy that collided with the Tianshan Six Yang Palm.
With a deafening roar, the two forces were evenly matched!
Taking advantage of the explosion's cover, Wu Xingyun instantly rushed to Xiang Yu's side, his body transforming into a black cloud as the Storm Foot Qi Blade pierced through him. Then, he opened his massive maw, attempting to devour Xiang Yu and Li Canghai behind him, clearly unleashing a powerful demonic technique.
"I'll help you!" Li Canghai stood up abruptly, fearless and dauntless. Seeing that Wu Xingyun had transformed into a demon, he felt much more at ease.
"So this is the essence of the inner demon tribulation! Demon, destroy!" Suddenly, lightning flashed across Xiang Yu's body, and then...
"Evil-repelling divine thunder? That's impossible! Ah!...Your Majesty, spare my life!" Black Cloud tried to turn and run away, but it was too late!
Sizzle sizzle... The inner demon vanished into thin air!
Xiang Yu's divided soul cultivated in the space of the Emperor's Sword using the secret method of the Emperor. He absorbed a large amount of lightning with his soul body and released it all now. Naturally, the power was extremely terrifying. He also added a little lightning to break through the invisible barrier earlier.
Li Canghai was equally shocked, never expecting that someone in this world could control lightning. "My benefactor, may I ask your real name?"
"Xiang Yu, I've already said it. The inner demon has been eliminated, and I should go out now. Otherwise, it will only do you harm. Everything just now was an illusion. Don't be affected by them. Focus on your training and strive to break through as soon as possible. The Xiaoyao Sect Leader and I will protect you outside. We'll meet again when you succeed."
After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he left Li Canghai's body and allowed his divided soul to re-enter the Emperor's Sword space to cultivate. It seems that lightning has a significant effect on restraining evil spirits, and it may be useful in the future.
"The inner demon has been eliminated, so Sect Leader Xiaoyao has nothing to worry about. Just wait for good news."
"Thank you for your help, Overlord!" Xiaoyaozi was overjoyed.
Just then, Li Canghai's hair moved without wind, and he floated up, drifting like a fairy dancing in the sky.
A pair of exquisitely beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and with a hint of shyness, they floated down and bowed.
"This humble woman greets Your Majesty..."
Chapter 393 The Art of Preserving Youth
Riding the wind, I roam freely, dancing across the sky as I please.
Xiaoyaozi was thrilled to see Li Canghai's condition; his strongest martial art had finally been passed down.
"This humble woman has met the Overlord, and thanks the Overlord for saving my life." Li Canghai gracefully bowed, as if a fairy were meeting a god-king.
"No need for formalities, this is what I should do." Xiang Yu meant that since Xiaoyaozi had followed him, he should naturally protect his disciple. However, Li Canghai interpreted it differently, thinking it was the overlord's chivalrous heart or his pity for women.
"How could I, a mere woman, fail to repay such kindness? If it weren't for the King's rescue, I fear I would have met my end. If the King doesn't mind, please allow me to stay by your side from now on."
Li Canghai no longer wanted to return to the Xiaoyao Sect. She didn't even know what to say when she saw Wuyazi and Li Qiushui again. The Overlord's martial arts were extraordinary, and he had saved her life. Even if she had to serve the Overlord like a slave for the rest of her life, what was wrong with that?
“You flatter me, young lady. I wasn’t the only one who saved you. If it weren’t for Xiaoyaozi’s concern for you as his disciple, we wouldn’t have come here. Xiaoyaozi will be leaving with me later. If you go with him, you will naturally go with me. As for repaying him, I have something I need your help with.” Xiang Yu didn’t dislike Li Canghai, but men and women shouldn’t be too close, and it would be bad if it caused misunderstandings.
"Just give me your orders, Your Majesty, and I will do my utmost." Li Canghai thought to herself, "My master's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, yet he has also decided to follow the Overlord. Just who is this person? Could he really be Xiang Yu, the Overlord who fell in love with Yu Ji and commanded the world a thousand years ago? But how could that be!"
"This is not difficult. Just record a card for me. I already had the Xiaoyao Sect Leader record one. This card is quite magical. It can record your martial arts strength and allow someone who originally didn't know martial arts to instantly learn the martial arts on the card. You can ask Xiaoyaozi for details. To be honest, I want to give your card to my wife, Yu Ji, so that she has more power to protect herself," Xiang Yu said truthfully.
Li Canghai was extremely surprised. The Overlord's wife was really named Yu Ji, and she even possessed such a magical item as cards. "Is the Overlord the same Overlord from a thousand years ago? Shouldn't you be..."
"Canghai, do not be disrespectful to the Overlord. The Overlord is indeed an unparalleled overlord throughout the ages, but he is an overlord from another world. He has long since transcended the level of mortals, otherwise I would not have willingly followed him."
"I haven't told your senior brothers and sisters about this. Their character still needs to be tempered. Whether they will have the opportunity to follow the Overlord with me depends on their future performance," Xiaoyaozi said solemnly.
"Disciple knows her mistake." Li Canghai was shocked. Although she had guessed most of it, the confirmation from her master still made her somewhat apprehensive and disappointed. The Overlord was in love with Yu Ji and would most likely not fall in love with other women. Besides, she could not destroy the Overlord's family... Oh dear, what a sin, why did I think of this?
“Canghai, you have just broken through, and your martial arts realm is not yet stable. Why don’t you calm down and meditate for a while?” Xiaoyaozi said, then turned to Xiang Yu and said, “If the Overlord is not in a hurry, how about we wait until she recovers to her best condition and becomes proficient in the Xiaoyao Wind Control before recording the cards?”
"Sect Leader Xiaoyao is right. I'm not in a hurry to record the cards. It would be better if I waited until your disciple is stronger. To be honest, I may have to stay in this plane for another sixty years."
Because time in this plane is accelerated a thousand times, simply put, a thousand days in this world is only one day in other worlds, making this a rare opportunity for cultivation.
"The only problem is aging. I wonder if your disciple has practiced the Longevity Technique?" Xiang Yu asked.
Xiaoyaozi gasped in astonishment. Time in this world had sped up a thousand times? That meant a day felt like three autumns! This was truly divine power!
"Canghai did not cultivate the Longevity Technique, but rather the Youth Preservation Technique that I modified from it. This technique solved the problem of the Longevity Technique's power returning to its original state every thirty years with age, but it only preserves youth for sixty years. Before the age of sixty, her appearance is like that of a young woman in her late twenties. After sixty, her appearance will age normally. However, if she takes good care of herself, she can still have the appearance of a woman in her thirties or forties even at the age of ninety."
As Xiaoyaozi spoke, a proud expression appeared on his face. Although only women could cultivate, the fact that a woman could gain nearly a hundred years of youth was enough to make him proud.
Unfortunately, his eldest disciple, Wu Xingyun, did not live to see this technique. It was precisely because Wu Xingyun encountered an accident while practicing the Longevity Technique that Xiaoyaozi was able to improve the technique.
Perhaps the Longevity and Immortality Technique is not suitable for children to practice, otherwise, how could Wu Xingyun, who has excellent martial arts talent, have developed such a stubborn disease?
If possible, I must cure Wu Xingyun's illness in the future. I think the God of Wine should be able to do it. I'll try that miraculous healing medicine first when I have the chance.
Hao Jiu suddenly realized that Li Qiushui must have also practiced the improved version of the Youth Preservation Technique. If one did not want to pursue immortality, this technique was indeed superior to the Longevity Technique, at least it did not have the weakness period that occurred once every thirty years.
Although the Longevity and Youthfulness Technique, if one can safely overcome each period of weakness, will certainly result in a greater total amount of youth after several rejuvenations than the Youth Preservation Technique, the Youth Preservation Technique is equivalent to giving one decades of youth at once.
Such temptation is probably irresistible to women, and Wu Xingyun's experience has likely frightened Li Qiushui and Li Canghai as well; they'd rather not have that kind of immortality.
"That makes things simple. A thousand times the time is a rare opportunity. Let's all cultivate diligently together. I have genuine cultivation techniques that I can pass on to you."
Hao Jiu knew that the spiritual energy in this plane was very thin and not suitable for cultivation, but he still had a lot of spirit stones in reserve. He couldn't waste the thousand times the speed, and it might not last long. At most, the plane would not be able to withstand the acceleration for a hundred years.
It is now almost certain that this plane is indeed showing signs of collapse, and the thousand-fold increase in time flow will inevitably place a huge burden on the plane.
The key issue is that Xiang Yu disagrees with the continuous acceleration to the point of dimensional collapse. At most, Hao Jiu will have to wait until the main story of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" ends. Hao Jiu must then use a full-dimensional scan to find the target system and remove the time acceleration state.
Therefore, the most they have is this sixty-year acceleration period. With Xiaoyaozi and Li Canghai's talents, if they were to cultivate immortality, they should have no problem establishing their foundation in sixty years through arduous cultivation.
