65: Don't question me!

Chapter 65: Do Not Question Me!

This was Li Yunshu's first true sight of the Great Chu Empress's real body—a massive Dragon.

Previously, he had only seen her in her Dragon girl form.

Even with wings, her wingspan was less than a zhang.

But now, those enormous wings had torn off the entire dome of the main hall.

Before him, a Dragon Claw gently stomped, and the floor shattered, revealing a gigantic claw print.

Facing a Dragon of such immense size, Li Yunshu's throat bobbed, feeling incredibly tiny.

However, he could clearly see black runes all over its colossal body.

They resembled chains, wrapping around the Dragon's body.

Just then, a massive Dragon Wing swept towards them.

"I—"

Before Li Yunshu could react, he was scooped up by the Dragon Wing and flung onto the Dragon's back.

He tightly gripped a Dragon horn with both hands to keep himself from falling.

Though it felt a bit childish, he really wanted to shout: Dragon-Slaying Sword!

As the dust settled, Yu Linglong gazed at the colossal Dragon before her, her mouth agape in shock.

Who in the world could have imagined that the Great Chu Empress was a demon, and furthermore, a member of the Dragon Clan?

At this moment, her heart pounded even faster; she was determined to possess the Empress's body.

"Pei Xuanji, you've truly given me a surprise."

Boom!

Yu Linglong slammed her palms together. Li Yunshu felt the surroundings suddenly become intensely hot, and a bloody stench assailed him.

Soon, screams erupted from all directions, one after another.

He immediately looked around, only to see the Imperial Guards writhing in agony on the ground, one by one. They quickly transformed into wisps of blood mist, dissolving into the air.

On the ground, only empty suits of armor remained.

Not just the Imperial Guards, but the entire Imperial Palace was now a sea of blood; everyone had been refined into blood mist.

This scene was even more horrific than the Blood Spirit Grand Formation at Wumeng Mountain.

Soon, a river of blood appeared, formed from the blood of everyone in the Imperial Palace.

"Mother! You're insane!"

In the air, Taishuchang's forehead veins bulged. A visible barrier of spiritual Qi protected him, resisting the constantly eroding Formation.

Aside from him, most of the people in the Imperial Palace were already dead; only a few highly cultivated individuals could barely resist the Formation.

Perhaps from excessive excitement, Yu Linglong's voice was hoarse and tinged with madness.

"My son, once I perform Possession on her, I will be the Empress of both Western Zhou and Great Chu."

Even so, Taishuchang found it hard to believe. Watching his spiritual Qi barrier being devoured, his heart was filled with both shock and fear.

"Mother, do you truly mean to do this to your son?"

Yu Linglong let out a sinister laugh.

"You are flesh of my flesh. Now, let us become one again."

Seeing this, some began to try and escape the Formation.

However, the moment they touched the Formation's barrier, their spiritual Qi barriers instantly shattered, and they were refined by the Formation.

To try and escape was to choose death.

A chill ran through Li Yunshu's heart. Madwoman, this old hag was utterly insane.

Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, yet she would kill her own son.

All for the sake of 'one mountain cannot hold two tigers,' to smoothly control Western Zhou and Great Chu in the future.

The blood river swept over, and those spiritual Qi barriers popped like bubbles. Finally, Taishuchang also vanished into the blood river.

Li Yunshu looked at the Great Chu Empress beneath him with some worry.

"Can you win?"

Although he had great confidence in the Great Chu Empress, this old hag had been plotting against her for more than a day or two; it was a long-planned scheme.

This Formation was tailor-made for the Great Chu Empress, and he was truly afraid that even in her Dragon form, she might not be able to withstand it.

After all, there were still Seals on her Dragon body.

Whoosh!

A Dragon's Breath exhaled into the air became a fierce gale.

The Great Chu Empress's voice resounded throughout the Imperial Palace.

"Do not question me!"

No sooner had she spoken than the blood river within the Formation surged towards the Great Chu Empress.

Standing on the Dragon's head, facing the oncoming blood river, Li Yunshu suddenly recalled Li Bai's line—

"See you not, the waters of the Yellow River come from the sky."

With a Dragon's roar, a black mist suddenly surged forth.

Li Yunshu felt as if he was enveloped by dense black mist, his vision somewhat obstructed.

Facing this black mist, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Boom!

As the colossal Dragon Claw swept across the blood river, the river before them was actually torn apart by a single claw.

The black mist poured into the blood river, devouring all the surging blood.

"No!"

Watching this scene, Yu Linglong shrieked, her hands frantically forming incantations that Li Yunshu couldn't understand.

Within the Formation, One by one red lights pierced towards the Great Chu Empress.

However, without exception, those lights were all swallowed by the black mist surrounding the Great Chu Empress.

"No! No! No!"

Yu Linglong retreated step by step. She couldn't accept that her years of planning had all come to naught.

Gazing at the black mist swirling around the giant Dragon, she seemed to realize something.

"You! You are from the Demon Realm!"

On the Dragon's head, Li Yunshu could only see terror in Yu Linglong's eyes.

Although he had long known that the Great Chu Empress was from the Demon Realm, he hadn't expected it to instill such fear in the old hag.

Perhaps ignorance was bliss; when he first saw the Great Chu Empress's title as a Demon Realm spy, he had even threatened her.

Slam!

The Dragon Claw slammed down heavily towards Yu Linglong. The Western Zhou Empress Dowager, who had just been so arrogant, was now directly slammed to the ground.

Her already somewhat hunched body was now even more bent over.

Li Yunshu could tell that Yu Linglong had given her all, yet she was no match for the Great Chu Empress in a single move.

Setting aside the strength of both sides, to be intimidated before the fight even began meant she had already lost half the battle.

He finally understood where the Great Chu Empress's confidence came from; this Dragon from the Demon Realm truly had the capital to be arrogant.

Pfft—

As the Dragon Claw pressed down, Yu Linglong fell to her knees with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of old blood, her aura instantly wilting.

The Dragon Claw swept across, and her body was directly severed in two.

Seeing this, Li Yunshu let out a long sigh of relief.

This day had been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, but he had finally survived.

However, just as he sighed in relief, a spiritual body slowly condensed on the ground.

Gazing at the old hag who had condensed into a spiritual body, Li Yunshu instinctively pulled out his Soul Banner.

"Still lingering!"

However, before he could activate the Soul Banner, the Great Chu Empress let out a Dragon's Breath, and the newly condensed spiritual body instantly dissipated, vanishing into the air like wind.

Thud!

The Dragon's head fell weakly to the ground. Li Yunshu lost his balance and fell from the air.

Just as he landed, the Great Chu Empress, who had transformed into a Dragon, had already reverted to human form.

However, at this moment, the Great Chu Empress was completely naked, lying motionless on the ground, as if she had fainted.

Li Yunshu's gaze, as if by some strange impulse, swept downwards from the Great Chu Empress's neck.

He wanted to look further down, but was afraid it wouldn't pass censorship.
