Chapter 693: Nine-Tailed Fox
A huge burst of smoke burst forth from the pagoda, causing its strength to increase rapidly. It smashed toward the dragon of water again in an explosion of astounding magnitude.
"How much more annoying can you get? I\'ll blast you to pieces!" the dragon of water roared.
The dragon and pagoda clashed with each other again and again in bursts of wind, water, and flame. Torrential rain flooded the city of Taixu.
By then, the cultivators that had been trapped within had escaped beyond the confines of the city, but they still weren\'t safe. They continued to fall back, staring in shock at what was happening in the sky above them.
"A fight between Boundless Immortals really is frightening."
"The whole city is flooding—this dragon really is amazing."
"How could the Immortal Emperor have favored someone as vile as Li Qianjun?"
The cultivators gaped at the scene before them even as they cursed Li Qianjun\'s name.
Meanwhile, Xiao Nanfeng clutched his wounds as he took stock of the situation.
The Demon Child was still pounding madly at Sage Green Lotus\'s corpse, not intending to spare even that. As for the golden cultivators, they were now attacking Li Qianjun\'s black-armored subordinates instead.
Without the protection of a Golden Immortal, the black-armored cultivators were quickly slaughtered to the last.
Zhao Yuanjiao stood guarding Xiao Nanfeng as he looked up into the air. "The fight between the dragon of water and the Taiqing burial pagoda is no less intense than it was against Ao Canghai—no, it seems like it\'s even more intense, doesn\'t it?"
Xiao Nanfeng\'s eyes twitched. "That damn Ao Zhou!"
"What\'s the matter? Isn\'t he fighting hard?"
"He is, but the Eye of the Sea isn\'t his, so he doesn\'t care for it at all. He wouldn\'t mind sacrificing my Eye of the Sea if it means he can take down Li Qianjun," Xiao Nanfeng said.
Zhao Yuanjiao realized the problem as well. He frowned. "Ao Zhou really is a bastard."
Up in the air, Li Qianjun, who had melded with the Taiqing burial pagoda, realized how intensely Ao Zhou was fighting as well. He was using the Eye of the Sea to the point where it was about to break down, and even Li Qianjun couldn\'t bear the intensity of his attacks.
"Are you crazy? Even a Boundless Immortal relic can\'t withstand this level of damage! Don\'t you know how to use it properly?!"
"It\'s not my relic, at any rate. I don\'t care even if it gets damaged. I\'m just going to finish you off!"
"Damn it—die!" Li Qianjun howled.
Ao Zhou might not care about the Boundless Immortal relic currently in his possession, but Li Qianjun very much cared for his own pagoda!
The underside of the Taiqing burial pagoda began to release another wave of suction against the dragon—to little effect, considering he was at the level of a Boundless Immortal.
"Come at me. We\'ll perish together!" the water dragon roared.
The dragon of water smashed into the Taiqing burial mound again in a fiery wave of energy so intense no one else could get near.
"You lunatic!" Li Qianjun howled.
"Again! Come at me again!" the dragon of water roared.
"Are you crazy?!"
The dragon of water smashed into the pagoda with such intense force that the pagoda cracked audibly.
"My burial pagoda!" Li Qianjun cried out.
The dragon\'s head seemed to crack as well.
"Something\'s gone wrong with the natural laws governed by the Eye of the Sea!"
"It\'s all your fault, you maniac!" Li Qianjun\'s voice was vibrating in anger.
"Who cares? Again!" the dragon of water howled.
Li Qianjun stared, gobsmacked. "Again? I gave up my son, my people, and my reputation all for this Boundless Immortal pagoda. Why would I waste it to take you down?!"
"Die!" The dragon of water roared, charging toward Li Qianjun.
"Scram, you bastard!" Li Qianjun was forced to run off with the pagoda in tow.
"Li Qianjun, you coward! Come on, let\'s keep fighting! I\'ll take you down alongside me!" Ao Zhou cried out.
"Stay away from me, lunatic!" Li Qianjun thundered.
He didn\'t want to waste any more time on Ao Zhou—and Ao Zhou wasn\'t the only proble, either. The Demon Child had managed to beat Sage Green Lotus to death, and he would be done for if they came for him together.
"Don\'t run! Stay right there. We haven\'t perished together just yet!" the dragon roared.
Down below, after the Demon Child had beaten Sage Green Lotus into nothing resembling a human, he started bawling again.
"Return my mother to me! Return her now!" the Demon Child cried out, starting to punch at the unrecognizable mess once more.
"Wake up, Demon Child!" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed.
The Demon Child ignored him. He wiped away his tears and looked into the air.
"I\'ll kill everyone who hurt my mother. She told me you weren\'t my father at all, and I saw you beat her up. I\'ll kill you!" the Demon Child thundered.
The Demon Child rushed into the air, heading straight for the dragon of water and the Taiqing burial pagoda.
"Damn it, you bastard, scram!" Li Qianjun shouted again.
He knocked aside the dragon as he tried to flee, but the Demon Child had already closed in on him. He punched at the man he once thought his father.
"You dare strike your father?" Li Qianjun roared from within the Taiqing burial pagoda.
"For beating up my mother, I\'ll take your life!" the Demon Child shouted back, undeterred.
The Demon Child pummeled the Taiqing burial pagoda until it shook and burst with flame.
"Die!" the dragon of water roared, charging into Li Qianjun.
"You maniacs, both of you!" Li Qianjun was so mad he was about to spit out blood.
As a result of the intense attacks, the Taiqing burial pagoda cracked in earnest, as did the dragon of water.
Li Qianjun was devastated. He had gone to all this effort in order to upgrade his Taiqing burial pagoda, but if it were to break, all his efforts would have been useless!
"Li Qianjun, I\'m going to kill you!" the Demon Child roared, slapping at him.
"Don\'t!" Li Qianjun shouted.
His burial pagoda wouldn\'t be able to afford any further attacks. He blanched in despair.
Suddenly, a giant white object appeared in the void, almost like a tail a few hundred meters long. It shot toward the Demon Child, sending him flying as the void vibrated intensely.
The Demon Child spat out a mouthful of blood, badly injured.
"What\'s this? A fox\'s tail?" Ao Zhou exclaimed.
Without any hesitation, however, he continued charging at the Taiqing burial mound. "Let\'s die together!"
"Again?" Li Qianjun growled. He turned toward the heavens. "Empress, please save me!"
The giant fox\'s snowy-white tail appeared in the void once again, this time striking the dragon of water instead.
The fox\'s tail sent the dragon crashing into the distance, the cracks all over its body propagating to such an extent that the whole construct was about to collapse.
"A Boundless Immortal? A real Boundless Immortal? We won\'t be able to win. Demon Child, hurry! We have to flee!" Ao Zhou shouted.
The Demon Child\'s eyes were bright red. He was still stewing in grief over his mother\'s death. Rather than stop, he shot straight toward the Taiqing burial pagoda again.
"I\'ll kill you!" the Demon Child howled.
Just then, nine snowy-white tails manifested through the void, causing it to ripple and pulsate, then twined together to strike at the Demon Child.
The Demon Child was sent flying again. Blood sprayed from all over his body as his bones broke, a gruesome sight.
"Concentrated demonic corpse aura? What a rare ingredient," a woman\'s voice resounded.
One snowy-white tail curled around the Demon Child and caught him in its grip.
"To me!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted from afar.
A burst of red light flashed by the fox\'s tail as the Demon Child vanished from sight and reappeared in Xiao Nanfeng\'s hands.
Xiao Nanfeng immediately fled into the sea, alongside Zhao Yuanjiao and the gathered golden cultivators.
The woman laughed scornfully. "Oh? Do you think you\'ll be able to steal something from my grasp? Let\'s see how skilled you are at fleeing, then!"
The nine snowy-white tails shot straight toward Xiao Nanfeng so quickly that even he wasn\'t able to escape.
Xiao Nanfeng blanched, not anticipating such danger.
Just as he was about to transform into his yin body and escape via spiritual harmony, a figure clouded in black fog appeared before him, slapping at the fox\'s tails with his palm.
A flaming tempest formed at the point of impact, and the resulting shockwaves sent tidal waves surging across the sea.
After that blow, however, the fighting ceased. The nine tails all slunk back as the figure in black stood firmly before Xiao Nanfeng.
"Who are you?" the woman exclaimed in surprise.
In front of the shattered Taiqing burial pagoda, the image of a woman dressed in a white Chinese gown slowly manifested. She possessed incredible beauty, though her exquisite features were currently rigid in anger. Nine snowy-white tails floated behind her as she stared at the figure before Xiao Nanfeng.
The black fog clouding the figure left his appearance indistinct, but the blow he had dealt was a testament to his strength.
"Another Boundless Immortal? Xiao Nanfeng, where did you find such a helper?" Ao Zhou exclaimed.
Xiao Nanfeng considered the aura permeating the black fog before him and instantly guessed who it was. His heart thumped with joy—the Divine Emperor, whom he had been thinking about so much recently, had made her appearance once again. But what was she doing here?
The Divine Emperor didn\'t reveal her identity, and Xiao Nanfeng knew better than to expose her identity. He deliberately said, "We shouldn\'t stay here for long. Let\'s return to the Imperial Court for now."
High in the air, the woman narrowed her eyes and considered them seriously.
