A Place He Shouldn't Have Gone

The fight between Ao Sheng and Jiang Qi attracted a lot of attention. The two, who had revealed their demonic forms, fought back and forth, and the lake in the Wondrous Dharma Palace was stirred up with huge waves.

The giant demon's body is clumsy and difficult to unleash divine Technique Method, so it can only fight by relying on physical strength and demonic Divine Ability. In the current cultivation world, this is considered a relatively low-end and brute fighting method, but it works perfectly for the battle between dragons and snakes. Only this method can make the outcome of the battle truly clear.

"Ao Li, what do you mean? I was just a hair's breadth away from defeating that snake demon. Why are you admitting defeat for me? How can our dragon clan have such a spineless coward like you who likes to surrender!"

Bound and released by the Tongtian Rope, Ao Sheng was full of resentment. Even after returning to Kunlun Ruins in human form, he was still cursing and swearing, directly attacking the team leader, Ao Li.

"I'm not the only one who thinks you'll lose," Ao Li said helplessly. "This Kunlun Holy Son is in the form of Ba Snake, and is especially skilled at using immense strength to strangle. In the Dragon-Snake Mutual Fight, once you get caught in its coiling and entanglement, you will inevitably lose!"

"Bullshit! I'm perfectly fine. My waist is strong enough to wrap around him until he screams in pain!" Ao Sheng cursed. "Your misjudgment has ruined our dragon clan's chance to win the championship!"

"Your back is bleeding," Ao Li said. "If this kind of injury were any deeper, it could dislocate bones, or even break your back!"

"What bleeding? That's just a little bit of manly flair. Besides, the snake demon also has blood on her body," Ao Sheng retorted.

"That's just your blood on it, not from a twisted back!"

Ao Li offered an explanation, but Ao Sheng refused to acknowledge it.

You said you have a great back?

It wasn't until the Emperor and Empress's gaze swept over the clamoring Ao Sheng and they asked him a question with a half-smile that Ao Sheng's body began to tremble.

A thousand years have passed, but the Heavenly Court's authoritarian rule remains deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

A thousand years ago, what would have been placed on the stone table at a banquet might not have been divine fruits and wine, but rather dragon liver and phoenix gall.

There are many requirements for dragons offered to the emperor and empress. For example, a good waist is one of the conditions, because a good waist means the meat is chewy and the internal organs are vigorous.

Ao Sheng can be domineering within his own territory because he knows the gap between him and the Great Dragon God is limited, and he also has ways to protect himself. But he can't be domineering outside.

At the level of the emperor and empress, there would be many ways to kill him.

If the emperor or empress were to say they wanted to try a dragon, there was a high probability that the assembled guests would assist them.

If he continued grumbling, Ao Sheng felt he wouldn't be able to leave the Kunlun Sacred Land alive, even with the protection of the Qingyun Technique.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Venerable said I am both smelly and foul, a spineless coward. My back has always been weak, and I just injured it!"

Ao Sheng trembled for a while before trying to express that he didn't like it at all, and then brought up Celestial Venerable Yuanshi again.

"Only the useless and good-for-nothing will get eaten!"

The Emperor and Empress said something that seemed to have a deeper meaning, which made Ao Sheng feel like a quail encountering its natural enemy, and he dared not utter another sound for a moment.

"There's unrest here; it seems there's fighting again!"

The emperor and empress laughed and chatted with everyone, and the scene of the water curtain remained fixed on Jiang Qi, the gatekeeper of the Wondrous Dharma Palace, without ever shifting.

It wasn't until Li Jing reminded her that she waved her hand and turned the levitation mirror around, revealing another clear scene.

"What powerful magic!"

Having just witnessed the battle between dragons and snakes, when the scene shifted again, a close-quarters fight between giants and giant birds appeared on the water screen.

If the fight between Ao Sheng and Jiang Qi was a spectacle of equal skill and a feast for the eyes, then this scene was simply a battle of wits between two weaklings.

Its only advantage might be the magical arts of Heaven that Li Jing marveled at.

Watching the humans and demons writhing and fighting in the Brocade Palace garden, the Emperor and Empress couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling a sharp pang of heartache at the sight of their own back garden being ravaged.

They are clearly humans and demons who can fly, yet they fight like barbarians, rolling around on the ground.

"The Holy Son has been corrupted by Zhenyuan!"

Since the Emperor and Empress had limited access to instruction for Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou, they invited Divine Lord Zhenyuan to teach him, instructing him to teach him whatever he wanted to learn.

All Kunlun martial arts techniques other than the nine major Evasion Technique must have originated from the teachings of Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou use the Heavenly Law in such a way, the Emperor and Empress felt that Divine Lord Zhenyuan's teachings were a mess, and they couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

Where is the Shi Gong?

The giant was barely clothed and had a body so strong that it was beyond human capabilities, but his face still showed signs of old age, making it easy to identify this annoying 'old god'.

Just thinking about how the old immortal had previously fought recklessly with the Buddha Son Shigong Daoist Randeng's heart skip a beat. He felt that Buddha Son Shigong had also been harmed, and that they had even neglected the dragon-snake battle while focusing their attention on it.

"Should we look for Buddha Son Shigong?"

The Emperor and Empress could not bear to watch Zhang Xuezhou's naked fighting, and she was also looking for a different place to watch.

As for the outcome of the struggle between the two, the Emperor and Empress felt that Kong Ning was very likely to lose.

Under Cai Ma's Fate Technique, the struggle was merciless, but Zhang Xuezhou showed leniency in every move. The Emperor and Empress did not believe that Zhang Xuezhou would kill Kong Ning; they thought he would stop once Kong Ning admitted defeat.

She was relieved about the dispute between Zhang Xuezhou and Kong Ning, and then looked at the crowd to see if they wanted to watch the spectacle or turn to check on Shi Gong.

"This fight is quite entertaining!"

"One hundred and twenty breaths should be enough to determine the victor!"

"The old immortal is in excellent physical condition!"

"He kept punching me in the head, who could stand that!"

With everyone offering their opinions, Daoist Randeng could only wait a little longer.

In short, it's pointless to watch if Buddha Son Shigong is dead; if he's still alive, he should be able to hold on for another 120 breaths.

He had no choice but to start the countdown according to the time mentioned by the Demon King Feiyu.

While the Demon King Feiyu may lack knowledge in other areas, he is highly skilled in combat with his avian demon form, and his statement of 120 breaths is approximately that timeframe.

"The old master should lift his knee here; as long as it hits this side, Kong Ning will be in a lot of pain!"

"Kong Ning's three-colored divine light swept away the weapons Law Treasure; the old immortal's weapon must have been swept away, forcing him to engage in hand-to-hand combat!"

"He seemed unfazed by the attack; the black peacock pecked at him several times and even pierced his eye once, yet he remained unharmed!"

"Perhaps Kong Ning's hand-to-hand combat strength is too weak!"

"That's true!"

The hushed discussion also came as the battle between the black peacock and the giant came to an end.

Seeing Kong Ning's raised neck forced to lower, the Demon King Feiyu gestured, indicating that his side was conceding defeat.

"Kong Ning of the Xieluosi River Holy Land concedes defeat!"

The Tongtian Rope descended, binding Kong Ning, whose body was convulsing repeatedly. It tightened its grip on Kong Ning's demonic body, forcing him to continuously contract his form before finally lifting him away.

"The Holy Son is indeed exceptionally powerful!"

Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation was limited, and his behavior was somewhat sneaky. The Emperor and Empress were too embarrassed to introduce him as the Holy Son of Kunlun in front of others, and even tacitly accepted that everyone called Jiang Qi the Holy Son to confuse the situation.

But this battle caught the emperor and empress's attention. Even though Zhang Xuezhou was rolling around in the mud fighting, at least he had actually used Kunlun's techniques and fought a fair and square battle.

Zhang Xuezhou's overall strength is undoubtedly extremely powerful. His opponent is not the kind of cultivator who directly displays extraordinary strength, but rather one who will bring his opponent down to his own level and win in the simplest and most effortless way.

This is inconsistent with the style of the Emperor and Empress, but it vaguely resembles the demeanor of Hongjun.

Reflecting on past events, the Emperor and Empress swept their gaze across the scene, putting aside their many thoughts, before adjusting the levitation mirror to position the Buddha Son Shigong.

The familiar palace was reflected in the water curtain, and the naked Buddha Son Shigong also appeared.

"Oh no, what happened to Shi Gong here!"

Amidst the many palaces, the Daoist Randeng saw the Buddha Son Shigong with his lower body erect and a lewd grin on his face, chasing after the ladies by the Jade Pool. He even embraced and caressed one of the ladies, behaving much like a depraved emperor and his palace maids playing together.

But only the Emperor is qualified to frolic like this in the Jade Pool. If the Buddha Son Shigong, dares to do so, the consequences will be severe.

At least the Emperor and Empress, who were seated in the chairman's seat, had changed their expressions at this moment.
