Dragon Hound Slays a Demon, Excavating a Canal (2/3)
On the altar of the ancestral temple in the Guifang Kingdom.
Everything you have will belong to me!
Gazing into the unseen distance, Wuzhiqi's tone was full of confidence.
Is Li Boyang very strong?
Li Boyang is indeed very strong, especially when he appeared in the form of Yang God manifestation.
The power that forcibly pulls the Heavenly Dog from the sun and stops the "Heavenly Dog Devours the Sun" phenomenon is the supreme power that truly belongs to the Heavenly Deity.
But he was merely Heavenly Deity.
Wuzhiqi encountered countless Heavenly Deity on his journey south.
It is absolutely impossible for them to stop moving forward because of a mere Li Boyang.
On the contrary, the path and possibilities presented by Li Boyang successfully attracted Wuzhiqi's attention.
That was someone the Netherworld Lord had reserved for him. Wuzhiqi thought he might be able to try and intercept him. This was Wuzhiqi: fierce, domineering, and extremely arrogant.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
Just then, a strangely shaped shrimp soldier emerged from the water.
Seeing the shrimp soldiers' flustered appearance, Wuzhiqi instinctively frowned, a sense of foreboding rising deep within him.
"What's all the fuss about?"
Knowing that Li Boyang was watching, Wuzhiqi didn't want to lose face.
So he suppressed his anger and asked rather displeasedly.
"But what about the Third Prince being defeated?"
"I am aware of this matter. The Third Prince is arrogant and reckless; even if he was defeated, it's nothing to be surprised about."
Wuzhiqi could finish speaking, the shrimp soldier said in a tone that was almost on the verge of tears.
"Your Majesty, it's not the Third Prince, it's the Second Prince!"
"The Second Prince has been killed! Killed by a dragon-dog wielding a giant axe!"
Upon hearing this, Wuzhiqi's pupils dilated dramatically, and he stood up abruptly from his seat, abandoning all pretense.
"The Second Prince was killed? How is that possible!?"
"The Second Prince has been killed?"
Equally astonished, Li Boyang was quite certain that this was not his doing.
So his third eye quickly withdrew from the Guifang Kingdom and began to scan the border region of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
The three princes under Wuzhiqi's demonic rule each had their own personality, and their methods and routes of attack were also completely different.
If the Third Prince is the type to act recklessly, attempting to use the power of heaven and earth to launch a strong attack.
The second prince, then, is a rather shrewd character.
He was aware from the beginning of Wuzhiqi's vigilance towards the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Therefore, he chose a strategy of collusion between insiders and outsiders, and attacking from within.
In the Hundred Lands Mountain Range of today, there are not only water deities reveling because of this storm, but also ancient Ghost God who escaped from Flying Peak.
In the Second Prince's view, as long as he could successfully subdue them, the Hundred Lands Mountain Range would fall without a fight.
Unfortunately, the second prince overestimated his prestige.
They also underestimated the psychological trauma Li Boyang inflicted on those Ghost God.
All the Ghost God that the Second Prince had come into contact with avoided him like the plague, and were too lazy to act as his guide.
A few ghosts and Ghost God who wanted to take revenge on Li Boyang and Xiluo.
After learning of the Second Prince's thoughts, they all rolled their eyes and never contacted him again.
They did want to take revenge on Li Boyang and Xiluo, but they never thought of using their own lives to do so.
This second prince dared to sneak into the Hundred Lands Mountain Range without even getting the specific information.
In the eyes of all the Ghost God, this was already tantamount to writing the word "death" on their faces.
Then, the Second Prince continued his journey deep into the Hundred Lands Mountain Range until he arrived near Gao Family Village.
The water god near Gao Family Village is one of the few in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range that has become violent due to the flood.
Therefore, when the Second Prince appeared near Gao Family Village, the two reached an agreement with almost no obstacles.
The water god agreed to join the second prince's camp.
He was willing to act as his inside man when he launched a major offensive against the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
However, before that, the Water God had one request: that the Second Prince help him deal with Pan Hu, who had always been his adversary.
To be honest, the Second Prince didn't really take Pan Hu to heart.
He even felt that the water god's entanglement with such a Innate Divine Being who had not yet become a god was simply lowering his own status.
Unfortunately, this water god was the first mole he had recruited, and even in order to demonstrate his ability and demeanor, the Second Prince would not refuse the other party's request.
To the Second Prince's utter surprise, Pan Hu's combat power far exceeded his expectations.
Furthermore, the opponent somehow managed to summon a White Scale Serpent God to assist them, quickly forcing them into a series of defeats.
By the time the second prince realized something was wrong...
The water god had already been killed by Pan Jin, and Pan Jin himself was now in dire straits.
When Li Boyang's gaze settled on the vicinity of Gao Family Village.
The second prince's head had already been severed by Pan Hu, and the remaining half of his body had been swallowed by the White Scale Serpent God.
Looking at the remains of various canine spirits and monsters near the battlefield, Li Boyang remained silent.
Pan Hu did indeed kill the Second Prince, but the price he paid was equally high.
As the king of dogs in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and one of the most powerful and naturally Innate Divine Being...
Pan Hu suffered a significant loss of strength and influence after this battle.
It was even because it absorbed Wuzhiqi's hatred.
For a considerable period of time to come, Pan Hu will have to endure continuous retaliation from the other side.
Thinking of this, Li Boyang turned his gaze again and looked in another direction of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
That's where Wuzhiqi's eldest son is located.
Unlike the second and Third Prince, this eldest prince possesses power second only to Wuzhiqi.
Therefore, he didn't use any strategy or take advantage of favorable Heavenly Timing or location; he simply relied on his own strength and power to launch a direct attack.
From Li Boyang's perspective, he could clearly see the Crown Prince's domineering nature.
All that could be seen were the giant spirits, water demons, and strongmen under his command, clearing mountains and rivers.
They actually managed to carve out a grand canal on the outskirts of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Then, torrential rains and floods are introduced, destroying everything in their path and all living things.
It's no exaggeration to say that the Crown Prince was the one who truly gave Li Boyang a headache among Wuzhiqi's three offensive strategies.
In the presence of this crown prince, building any more dams and reservoirs would be meaningless.
The Grand Canal, which is gradually spreading towards the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, is itself a massive infrastructure project.
Having seized the Heavenly Timing, cultivated advantageous terrain, and simultaneously built the strongest force among the three routes, they now possess a formidable advantage.
The Crown Prince's composed demeanor in this series of events has already surpassed that of the tyrannical and cruel Wuzhiqi.
At least in Li Boyang's eyes, if this eldest prince were allowed to grow up, he would surely become an even more deserving "Number One Demon Under Heaven" than Wuzhiqi in the future.
