Chapter 694 - 427 Kongsang Wuzhiqi! ’Fire Bud Crystal’ matures!_2

Powerful strength!Deep foundation!

Truly terrifying!

And at this moment, this ’Wuzhiqi’ who has intruded Moth Island turns out to be the ’Kongsang Wuzhiqi’, one of the ’Fourteen Water Gods’ of the Fu Family?

Kongsang River!

This is one of the Hunxi Rivers!

The Fu Family exclusively controls fourteen of the major rivers, and ’Kongsang Wuzhiqi’ is the Innate Divine General who guards and commands the ’Kongsang River’!

"Guarding one side!"

"At least a Second-Rank God General!"

"Riding ’Wuzhiqi’, able to contend with a weaker Third-Rank Divine General on land, but in the waters of ’Kongsang River’, its combat power soars to the Third-Rank Peak!"

Wuzhiqi!

Truly powerful!

Such a mighty deity, backed by the Fu Family, one of the ’Hunxi Four Families’, indeed has the right to order Baili Qingfeng around.

Moreover—

"The Baili Family can firmly establish themselves in Nanxiong City, and their backing seems to be the Fu Family."

Yan Chuan had only heard about it before, but now seeing the Fu Family’s Divine General’s attitude towards Baili Qingfeng, he is almost convinced. Thinking again, every time there’s trouble in Nanxiong City, it’s Fu Zhe leading the team, now it seems to make sense.

"Baili Family!"

"Fu Family!"

"Baili Qingfeng!"

"Fu Manduo!"

Yan Chuan kept silent, quietly waiting for Baili Qingfeng’s response.

...

"Kongsang Divine Envoy, please calm your anger!"

Baili Qingfeng transmitted secretly: "The value of ’Fire Bud Crystal’ is known worldwide. Qingfeng gaining such an opportunity and keeping it confidential is truly human nature."

"Unrepentant!" Fu Manduo still used harsh words but her attitude softened significantly.

Baili Qingfeng felt secure and continued the secret transmission: "A ’Fire Bud Crystal Tree’ matures once every ten years, producing between eight hundred to a thousand each time. ’Fire Bud Crystal’ is precious, and even the Fu Family probably doesn’t own many corresponding rare treasures. The quantity and quality allocated to Kongsang Divine Envoy are not only few but also of lower rank. Since that’s the case, why not join hands, suppress the news of Moth Vine and Fire Bud Crystal, and enjoy them ourselves, wouldn’t that be delightful?"

"Greed!"

Fu Manduo accused Baili Qingfeng, her tone further softened.

She was indeed tempted.

Just as Baili Qingfeng said, although the Fu Family is one of the ’Four Families’, for a Divine General clan member like Fu Manduo, the family’s vast possessions are a double-edged sword. Resources are distributed layer by layer and by the time they reach Fu Manduo, they are scarce. All kinds of precious resources are prioritized for high-achieving Divine Generals or Fifth Rank, Sixth Rank Divine Generals, never reaching her.

Fu Manduo was relatively fortunate, being one of the ’Fourteen Water Gods’, overseeing the ’Kongsang River’. She explored, suppressed, and controlled a vast river, often keeping valuable resources and rich lands to herself for personal gain.

This time—

Might as well score big!

However—

"Too many people, too much gossip!"

"First, we must eliminate these two, which could also win me some credit!" Fu Manduo secretly transmitted to Baili Qingfeng, implying that Yan Chuan and Chen Ze should be killed. The two worked with Fu Zhe, and the Lingyang Mountain God behind Fu Zhe is her arch-enemy. She took precious leave from Kongsang River to Nanyue Lake specifically to investigate the collaboration between Fu Zhe and Nanyue Lake, aiming to disrupt her rival’s development plans there.

At this moment.

Targeting the rival!

Killing to silence!

Perfectly achieving two goals at once.

"These two—"

"Yan Chuan is easy to kill."

"But Chen Ze, alone, can wield ’Three Heads and Six Arms’, Four Swords and Two Sabers. I can’t break through his defenses at the moment, not easy to mess with."

Baili Qingfeng introduced Yan Chuan and Chen Ze’s background to Fu Manduo and then suggested: "For now, do not act. After the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ is seized, I’ll leave Yan Chuan on Moth Island to be killed. Release Chen Ze, and in the water domain, Kongsang Divine Envoy’s ’Wuzhiqi’ is stronger, easily capable of slaying Chen Ze."

One-on-one!

Two-on-two!

The plan is foolproof!

"Don’t kill them for now!"

"Keep them alive, they can help us gather more ’Fire Bud Crystal’!"

"Right now, the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ is about to mature. Our biggest opponent is the ’Fire-Eyed Golden Ape’!"

...

"Yan Chuan, Chen Ze?"

Fu Manduo withdrew ’Wuzhiqi,’ revealing her true appearance as a delicate and fair-skinned young woman, bearing no resemblance to the fierce demeanor she displayed while admonishing Baili Qingfeng.

Indeed!

People cannot be judged by appearances!

"Old Yan!"

"It’s this person!"

Wang Zhengyi transmitted, identifying this as the villain pursuing the ’Monkey King Avatar’ and tracking Yan Chuan and Chen Ze.

Yan Chuan had insight and smiled at Fu Manduo, saying: "So it’s the Kongsang Divine Envoy from the Fu Family, my apologies for not recognizing you."

"Haha!"

"No need to stand on ceremony."

"I heard that young Fu Zhe was worried about being deceived, and I happened to have some free time, so I came to Nanyue Lake to have a look and check for him."

"Unexpectedly, another opportunity presented itself."

Fu Manduo is skilled at lying.

She spoke.

Yan Chuan listened.

Both didn’t take it seriously.

After their meeting, Fu Manduo exclaimed: "I heard from Fu Zhe that young Brother Yan can teach Iron-Armed Monkeys to cultivate ’Monkey Fist’, and instruct Black Dragon Colts in ’Horse Fist’. Now, he controls the entire Iron-Armed Monkey Group and has even trained an Iron-Armed Monkey King to ascend to innate. Such skill is truly impressive!"

"Kongsang Divine Envoy is joking, I don’t have such abilities." Yan Chuan waved his hand: "The rumors outside are exaggerated. But Fu Zhe should know that it’s better to say that I learn from the Iron-Armed Monkeys and Black Dragon Colts, creating ’Xingyi Boxing’ with ’Twelve Forms’ of ’Monkey Form’ and ’Horse Form’ based on their physique and nature. Because they are sourced from them, they appear similar, and they can somewhat be influenced by me to grasp a few moves, which is quite common, nothing extraordinary. Besides the Iron-Armed Monkeys and Black Dragon Colts, if I had to instruct other apes like the Golden Ape or Water Ape, or other horses like the Green-Maned Horse or Red Fire Horse, I wouldn’t be able to do it."

Fu Manduo asks aimlessly.

Yan Chuan answers aimlessly too.

Both are not sincere at all.

After their brief conversation, Fu Manduo, to avoid awkwardness, further inquired about the situation of the Beast Kings on Moth Island and more details about the ’Fire-Eyed Golden Ape’ from Baili Qingfeng.

In this way, time slipped by.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

Yan Chuan, Chen Ze, and Wang Zhengyi approaching the end of their fourth day there.

At this moment.

Fireworks dazzling like the day in the dark night!

’Fire Bud Crystal’, finally matured, fully consolidated!

...

"Take action!"

Baili Qingfeng shouted loudly, and was the first to make a move. He entered from the north; the ’Golden Wind Fifteen Swords’ was airtight, intimidating numerous Beast Kings while sword flashes intercepted the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ one by one.

The ’Fire Bud Crystal Tree’ is named a ’tree’, the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ resembles ’fruit’, but in reality, they are not of the same nature. Instead, it correlates better with Baili Qingfeng’s analogy of ’Po Gate’ and ’excretion’.

At this time, as the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ matures and consolidates, it’s like the ’Moth Vine’ is excreting through the ’Fire Bud Crystal Tree’—

Spurt!

Blast!

As soon as the ’Fire Bud Crystal’ matures, it shoots out in all directions.

If there weren’t a group of Beast Kings and Yan Chuan and others surrounding from all sides, these Fire Bud Crystals would have sprayed out of ’Moth Island’, with the water flow, either settling underwater or dispersing into major rivers and rivers of the Hunxi Rivers, eventually possibly entering the sea.

Anyone lucky enough to pick up one or two would consider it a blessing.

But compared to those fortunates, the interception at the source by Yan Chuan and others at this moment is truly the great fortune!

"Dugu Nine Swords!"

"Arrow Breaking Style!"

Yan Chuan gave full play to his abilities.

The ’Seventh Move, Arrow Breaking Style’ of ’Dugu Nine Swords’ specifically breaks hidden weapons.

No matter how many arrows and crossbows the enemy shoots, or how dozens of people deploy various hidden weapons simultaneously in a volley, just use this move to knock down hundreds or thousands of hidden weapons at once.

This move is the technique in ’Dugu Nine Swords’ to counter all kinds of hidden weapons under heaven. Practicing this sword requires first learning the skills of ’Listening to the Wind and Distinguishing Weapons’ and ’Sound Positioning’, using the Qiankun Shifting to deflect the various hidden weapons fired by the opponent, leveraging their strength to bounce back the hidden weapons on the enemy.

The ’Arrow Breaking Style’ can even block and reflect various hidden weapons coming from ambush.

Then—

The ’Fire Bud Crystal’ shooting out at this time poses no challenge either.
