130: Chapter 130 Grandpa Green Snake almost died!

"If I say I'm just passing by, would you masters believe me?"

Xu Qing looked a bit embarrassed; without further hesitation, he crushed the necklace in his hand.

"Die!"

A gray Flying Sword shot out from Mysterious Method's sleeve.

Heavenly Spiritual Root, the future of the Xuanji Sect, extraordinary talent, Personal Disciple—none of it mattered anymore.

Before the deity transformation imprint, everything was meaningless.

The terrifying fluctuations caused the air to collapse under the pressure.

The water was instantly blasted into nothingness, creating a massive vacuum.

Cracks even appeared on several dragon pillars.

Death, he would surely die!

He would die in the most miserable way possible.

Unable to resist in the slightest, he would die in an instant.

Xu Qing gritted his teeth as green scales sprouted on his chest, limbs, and cheeks.

Under the overwhelming pressure, the scales shattered one by one, and blood seeped out.

The fragments of the necklace twisted, and the runes upon them lit up, connecting into lines to activate the teleportation array within.

A smooth, fair hand reached out from within, grabbing toward the gray sword.

"Still so hot-tempered even underwater?"

Elder Li emerged from the teleportation array, shielding Xu Qing behind her and taking the brunt of the pressure.

She waved her hand.

Purple light flowed.

Transformed into a small flying swallow, it crashed into the incoming flying swallow.

The Flying Sword let out a wail and flew back into Mysterious Method's sleeve.

"Xiao Mo!!!"

"Your grandpa almost died!!"

Xu Qing almost burst into tears and snot as he tried to hug Elder Li's leg.

The corner of Elder Li's mouth twitched; she didn't bother to argue with Xu Qing for taking advantage of her verbally.

Regardless, this green snake had almost suffered a major loss today.

"Li Xiaomo!!!"

Mysterious Method roared in anger.

He recognized Elder Li's identity at a glance.

There were only a few Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators in the Xia Dynasty, and Elder Li was highly recognizable.

"Li Xiaomo, how dare you be so arrogant as to infiltrate my Xuanji Sect alone?"

The white-haired but youthful-looking Profound Heart straightened up, looking down at Elder Li.

Beside him, Mysterious Method and Mysterious Spirit ignored the imprint and stood behind Profound Heart.

"Hmph, is there anywhere in this world that I, Li Xiaomo, cannot go!?"

"Today, watch me fight three dogs alone and have a grand time!"

With a sword in her left hand and a saber in her right, Sword Qi and Saber Qi crisscrossed as her hair billowed at the bottom of the lake.

Arrogant and elegant!

Xu Qing swallowed hard from behind.

Elder Li, watch your image!

Where is the gentle elegance from when you first appeared!

Another day of missing Elder Li's Clone.

"You leave first."

"Head west and don't look back."

"Once it's done, I will find you."

Elder Li's voice drifted over.

It wasn't her usual gentle yet slightly disdainful voice.

It was a serious tone Xu Qing had never heard before, making him feel the majesty of a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator.

"Um, you..."

Xu Qing looked at Elder Li.

He swallowed the words advising her to retreat if things went south.

Elder Li was determined to snatch back the deity transformation imprint to save Daya even if it meant death...

This mother-con!

Xu Qing activated his Escape Light and rushed out of the Dragon Palace.

"Don't you leave!"

Profound Heart squeezed the air, and Xu Qing instantly felt the surrounding water become as heavy as a thousand tons, as if it were about to tear him apart.

But in the next instant, Elder Li swung her saber.

Strands of Saber Qi enveloped Xu Qing, breaking through the seemingly indestructible roof of the Dragon Palace and sending him out of Hidden Dragon Lake.

"Li Xiaomo, since you insist on seeking death, don't blame this Elder for not showing mercy based on our past acquaintance!"

Profound Heart's face darkened as his wrinkled, aged hands formed a Seal.

The carved dragons on all the jade pillars seemed to come to life; they opened their eyes, flew down, and lunged at Elder Li from all directions with claws and fangs bared.

Mysterious Method also waved his sleeve, and thousands of gray swords flew out, forming a sword array that swirled toward Elder Li.

Mysterious Spirit let out a sharp cry and formed Seals with her hands, manifesting a flying phoenix, a walking tiger, a swimming dragon, and a crawling turtle, which roared as they charged at Elder Li.

A killing blow from all directions.

"Hmph."

Elder Li let out a cold laugh, her hands moving like phantoms as she multi-tasked, forming two different hand Seals.

"I command this sword to transform."

"I command this saber to transform."

Two commands were uttered from her mouth.

The saber and sword in her hands vibrated incessantly before shooting out and transforming into two figures.

The figures looked like teenage versions of Elder Li, one wielding a saber and the other a sword.

"Support me."

"As you command, Master!"

The two figures charged into the incoming attacks from all sides; Sword Qi and saber light nearly tore the Dragon Palace apart.

Meanwhile, Elder Li herself turned into a purple Escape Light and dashed toward the deity transformation imprint.

"Audacious!"

Profound Heart and the other two hurriedly tried to block Elder Li.

"Dharma Idol, appear!"

Elder Li spat out a mouthful of essence blood, and blood continuously seeped from her fingertips as she formed Seals.

A hundred-zhang-tall purple illusory shadow manifested.

The shadow broke straight through the roof of the Dragon Palace. Draped in flowing gauze and purple armor, with an extra pair of arms beneath its ribs, it was indeed a Dharma Idol.

The Dharma Idol formed Seals with its hands; one hand pressed down on Profound Heart's trio with purple light, while the other reached for the deity transformation imprint at the well's mouth.

The eyes of Profound Heart, Mysterious Method, and Mysterious Spirit nearly split from fury.

Profound Heart made a split-second decision. He pressed his palms together, veins bulging, and his teeth even developed cracks from the force of his clenching.

"Heaven Shaking Seal!"

As he pushed both hands forward, the Dragon Palace could no longer hold out and exploded into fragments.

The water of the entire Hidden Dragon Lake was blasted hundreds of zhang high.

A piece of the sky seemed to crack and fall off, condensing into a square dragon seal.

"Die!"

Profound Heart leaped into the air and reached out toward the purple Dharma Idol from above.

Following his hand's movement, the square dragon seal wobbled in the sky before falling and smashing toward the purple Dharma Idol.

Half of the Xuanji Sect was drawn by the Spiritual Qi fluctuations; looking up, they only saw a square Seal smashing down like a meteor.

"What kind of divine battle is this!"

Xu Qing activated his Escape Light and flew toward the outside of Hidden Dragon Lake.

Within the Dharma Idol, Elder Li bit her lip and had to control the idol's arms to raise and form Seals.

The raised arms instantly thickened several times over. Clenching its fists, the idol smashed them resolutely against the square Seal.

Purple and golden spiritual lights exploded.

All the water in Hidden Dragon Lake was blasted into spray, causing a rainstorm over a small portion of the Xuanji Sect.

The aftershocks plowed through the surrounding ground, shattering all plants and trees.

The distant Xu Qing formed a Seal to conjure a layer of spiritual light for protection, allowing him to stay airborne.

As the aftershocks subsided slightly, Xu Qing activated his snake eyes to look toward Hidden Dragon Lake.

The Dharma Idol's arms were shattered, and the purple light of the entire idol dimmed significantly.

"Elder Li!"

Xu Qing cried out in alarm.

If something happened to Elder Li, he really would be boiled into snake soup and eaten!

Spiritual Qi surged within the purple Dharma Idol, and the shattered arms reformed.

Elder Li's face grew a bit paler.

At this moment, the deity transformation imprint was still bound by chains at the well's mouth.

"Stubborn and foolish!"

Profound Heart's expression was cold and harsh.

Elder Li looked at the deity transformation imprint entwined by chains.

She had grabbed the imprint just now, but it was firmly entwined and sealed in the well; even with the power of the Dharma Idol, she hadn't been able to budge it.

It would take some time to remove it.

Elder Li turned her gaze toward her natal spirit artifact.

Her transformed natal spirit artifact also looked at her. With their minds connected, it understood her intention in an instant.

"I will go through fire and water for my Master, even if it means ten thousand deaths."

"...Buy some time for me."

"Hold back those three old dogs!"

"As you command, Master!"
