88: Chapter 87 Shocking Change!! The Great Battle Has Arrived!!

Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Li Family's Eastern Palace.

Two men were sitting by the bank, drinking together.

One was a slender young man dressed in vermilion and purple, who was none other than Li Yuanji.

Opposite him was a tall, heroic-looking middle-aged man in blue robes.

Li Yuanji, draped in red and purple, sat in the lower position, holding a grape between his fingers,

turning it against the sun to observe the crystal-clear interior, and asked:

"Big Brother, won't you be going too far by doing this?"

The middle-aged man said with a solemn gaze:

"If we don't take a gamble, do you expect you and me brothers to just sit back and watch Li Tiance grow and expand?

You must know that Military God Li will arrive tomorrow, and he has always stood with that lineage of Prince Qins Mansion. Even Father has to be wary of him by a few points.

When he returns, our great cause as brothers will be finished."

Li Yuanji showed a hesitant expression: "But what if the commotion stirred up is too big, and what about the official side?"

The middle-aged man also raised his head to look at the sun in the sky and laughed:

"If we can create a controllable high-rank deity, Father will surely step forward to handle the official side."

...

Meanwhile, within Jinyang City.

It was currently lunchtime, and the docks were bustling with people coming and going.

"Come, come, come!! Mount Heng!! Mount Heng!! The wondrous scenery of Songtao Golden Summit! Just need one more person and we leave immediately!!"

"Hanging Temple Secret Realm!! Rock-bottom price of 40,000 per person!! First-class experience!!"

There were far fewer people experiencing secret realms than before, and even the secret realm peddlers had lowered their prices.

On the other side, new hawking cries suddenly rang out:

"Spiritual Awakening Potions!!

Produced by the pharmaceutical factory invested in by the Jiang Family!

Taking them will not only allow your child to awaken as a Card Maker!

But can also completely prevent fish-ization disease!!

Internal price! Those who understand, come!"

Beneath the secret realm experience stalls, the already scarce crowd instantly surged toward the other side.

"Me, me, me!! I want a bottle!"

"Don't squeeze me! I paid first!!"

Suddenly,

in front of the busy medicine peddler,

a large hand reached out and snatched up a bottle.

The previously noisy scene around them instantly fell silent.

The newcomer was dressed in purple, with a student wearing the uniform of Li Tang Wanbang University and a bitter expression on his left side.

On his right was a youth in a school uniform, scratching his ears and cheeks.

A team of Qianniu Guards followed behind the two.

The surrounding citizens seemed very wary of the Qianniu Guards and gave them a wide berth.

Yuan Tiangang simply picked up the potion, looked at it against the sun, shook it,

and then turned his head to instruct the Qianniu Guards behind him:

"Those selling fake medicine, raid them."

"Yes!!"

With that, several Qianniu Guards began seizing people and confiscating medicine.

Within two to three minutes, it was done, looking extremely practiced.

Du Zimei said with a bitter face:

"Teacher, this is already the eighteenth fake medicine peddler we've caught today."

Li Taibai said: "With fish-ization disease reaching this extent, fakes of the Spiritual Awakening Potion are naturally going to be numerous."

Suddenly, a commotion came from the Qianniu Guard formation behind them.

Yuan Tiangang turned his head to look, and the fake medicine peddler who had been fine just moments ago was now collapsing to the ground in agony, roaring.

"Feigning illness, huh?! Resisting arrest, huh?!"

A Qianniu Guard pulled out the stun baton at his waist and rushed forward to start beating him.

Yuan Tiangang turned his head away helplessly and said:

"The soldiers brought out by that bastard Commander An are truly incapable of civilized law enforcement."

He felt it was a bit noisy. Ever since Commander An's rebellion last time, the Qianniu Guards in Jinyang City had been left without a commander.

The deputy commander and other old trusted aides had all participated in the rebellion, so not a single one was left.

Among the remaining Qianniu Guards, the highest ranking were merely squad leaders, unable to serve as commander.

Li Tiance had Yuan Tiangang act as the temporary commander first, bringing the remaining Qianniu Guards along with the current students of Li Tang Wanbang University into Jinyang City to maintain order, with a focus on the fish-ization disease aspect.

Thus, over the past few days, several of them had started inspecting places like the dock markets every day.

As a result, not only did patients with fish-ization disease fail to decrease over these past few days,

but the accompanying chaos also grew increasingly rampant.

The most rampant of all were those peddling fake Spiritual Awakening Potions.

Yuan Tiangang was just looking at his watch, calculating off-duty time.

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.

The fake medicine peddler who had been hugging his head and begging for mercy suddenly had his eyeballs bulge out on the ground, spitting white foam from his mouth.

His body swelled up, and his spine began to twist abnormally.

"fish-ization disease!! It's fish-ization disease!! This person has contracted fish-ization disease!!"

Suddenly, the shouting voice stopped abruptly.

All the surrounding citizens fell to the ground in agony, their eyeballs bulging, foaming at the mouth,

thrashing and twisting on the ground like fish stranded ashore.

The Qianniu Guard was so frightened he hurriedly retreated, but he was still grabbed by the fake medicine peddler who had rapidly completed his transformation.

With a wide open fish-mouth, he bit off his head directly.

"Do not panic!! Summon cards!!"

Yuan Tiangang shouted loudly, and at the same time began summoning his own cards:

"[Yellow Turban Warrior]!! Appear!!"

"[Zhang Daoling]!! Appear!!"

"[Wild Dog Taoist]!! Appear!!"

The other Qianniu Guards present and several Card Makers who had just been doing secret realm experience business also began summoning their own cards:

"[Century Tiger Demon]!! Appear!!"

"[Wave-Treading Rhinoceros]!! Appear!!"

"[Warrior]!! Appear!!"

"[Wrongfully Deceased Scholar]!! Appear!!"

Most peculiar of all were Du Zimei and Li Taibai; one summoned a writing brush, while the other summoned a wine flask:

"[Sage Brush]!! Appear!!"

"[Immortal Drunk]!! Appear!!"

All citizens present except for the Card Makers rapidly completed their mutation at this moment,

and the dock, which had just been lively and peaceful, rapidly turned into a paradise for monsters.

Yuan Tiangang and the others were immediately surrounded.

Just as Yuan Tiangang was about to have Li Taibai go to the Qianniu Guard station to gather the remaining university students and Qianniu Guards,

at this moment, Li Taibai beside him revealed a look of shock, staring dazedly in the direction of the Grand Canal, muttering to himself:

"Could it be the Heavenly River rolling backward, messily churning white clouds to pieces?"

Yuan Tiangang looked in the direction of Li Taibai's gaze,

and saw that the Grand Canal, which usually surged eastward, had actually begun flowing backward into the sky at this moment.

At the place of the reverse flow was a colossal dragon-shaped creature.

The body of this dragon-shaped creature went straight into the clouds, making its full appearance unclear.

Its dragon head grew rather bizarrely; its dragon horns looked more like a certain kind of coral,

and its dragon mane resembled tentacles of an octopus, among which grew some fin-like tissues.

Its eyeballs protruded, and inside its right eyeball, several pupils were spinning rapidly around,

while its left eyeball was a pure [Double Pupil].

Its body was crawled all over and wrapped by densely packed Mutated Deep Ones.

The arms of countless Mutated Deep Ones grew on its body and between its scales like hair, dancing about chaotically.

Above the dragon scales, countless human face patterns were roaring in agony, struggling, and wailing.

Surrounding the dragon-shaped creature were pitch-black spatial cracks, behind which a scarlet sea of flowers was faintly visible.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the cracks, dressed in strange dark heavy armor and holding a rhinoceros-horn-shaped strange saber.

That figure stepped on a splash of water and steadily landed on the dock using the force.

It was none other than Sun Po, wearing the Black Rhino Armor!!

Behind Sun Po, a Golden Phoenix flew out from the cracks with several figures,

dodging left and right to narrowly avoid the giant dragon's tail sweep, and crashed onto the dock.
