As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1565 - 415: Above Martial Saint Lies Martial Immortal—Treading on Thin Ice, I Love Backstabbing [Monthly Ticket Requested]_5
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Li Che did not need to rely on his own Heaven and Earth Soul to detect that presence; instead, he utilized the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
Through the sensory perception of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, the aura radiating from that Hunter God Assassin was identical to that of Great Elder Fang Hanshu.
"He certainly hides himself well..."
Li Che clicked his tongue in silent amazement.
Divine Tribulation!
This was an outcome even Li Che hadn’t anticipated. Unlike Gu Qianchi and Zhao Beidou, who possessed experience with divine tribulations, the Great Elder managed to move through the mundane world without alerting the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
How could he manage such a feat?
A sharp glint flickered in Li Che’s eyes.
"Is it the Hunting God Pavilion?"
It was highly probable that the organization held the secret.
Setting aside the Great Elder's secrets for now, Li Che rose to his feet. As he stretched his arms wide, his muscles and bones emitted a series of sharp, crackling pops.
"The Dragon God Clan... based on the intel from Xie Yunshen, they have fully aligned themselves with the Imperial Court. They intend to launch an invasion from the East Sea. Even the ancient Dragon God, whose life force is nearly extinguished, has chosen this moment to emerge."
"The Emperor has decreed that the old Dragon God be permitted to make landfall. This deity realm old Dragon God seeks a final glory for his kin; if they can seize the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, the Dragon God Clan will secure a permanent territory on the mainland."
"They intend to make Qianyuan Dao City their future domain..."
Li Che’s gaze intensified.
"That old Dragon God is a formidable adversary, comparable to Grandmaster Qian Yuan. As a deity of the One Disaster and Two Tribulations realm of Divine Tribulation, his combat power exceeds that of Zhao Beidou and Gu Qianchi. He is a truly dangerous foe."
Li Che had to carefully weigh the danger posed by the Dragon God’s arrival.
Even though Xie Yunshen was currently his prisoner.
The old Dragon God remained a terrifying monster of the First Disaster Second Rank...
If a direct confrontation became necessary, it would prove quite troublesome.
Standing in his study, Li Che’s lips curled into a faint, dark smile, his features partially obscured by the shadows.
"Consequently, the Dragon God Crown Prince must be taken captive. Only then can I strike a surprising backstab against that old Dragon God."
A Divine Tribulation Cultivator of the First Disaster Two Tribulation was undeniably powerful.
Acknowledging his opponent's might, Li Che realized...
He would have to employ some underhanded tactics.
Was backstabbing a dishonorable act?
Indeed it was, but Li Che was indifferent to such labels; what did a bit of deception matter if it ensured survival?
In this chaotic world where one walks on thin ice, protecting a wife and daughter required a certain level of ruthlessness. Was it really excessive to favor backstabbing just to stay alive?
Even if it was excessive, it didn't matter...
Only the survivors are granted the privilege to justify their actions.
Li Che exhaled slowly, releasing a concentrated gust of air.
"This is the perfect opportunity... to test the physical durability of my Martial Immortal Golden Body after its transformation."
In an instant, he spread his fingers and pressed a cute bull mask onto his face.
His fingertips brushed against the surface of the mask.
A white chess piece materialized within his palm.
The moment his fist tightened around it.
His entire figure vanished from the study.
...
...
Rumble——
Across the surface of the Grand Canal, the waters churned violently while snowflakes drifted down from the sky, dancing through the air.
Before they could even touch the river, they were vaporized by an intense, searing heat!
Deep upon the riverbed.
Turbulent dark currents erupted and roared in the depths.
A massive azure dragon, its body a vibrant bluish-green with scales packed incredibly tight, exhaled scorching currents. Its rampant aura surged through the water, causing the surrounding river to boil as if heated by its very Qi-Blood.
The beast stretched over thirty feet long, resembling a shackled and monstrous titan of the deep!
With every breath, the dragon’s whiskers drifted upward, triggering massive swells in the water and sending tremors through the river.
Further away.
Three significantly smaller dragons lay in a deep slumber.
The Dragon God Crown Prince, holding the rank of Titled Dragon King, had consumed a Dragon Emperor Pearl. He was currently refining its vast energy in hopes of breaking through to the Dragon God Realm, though the chances were remarkably slim.
The Dragon God Clan had not produced a new Dragon God in ages.
Despite his lofty ambitions, the Dragon God Crown Prince knew that a single Dragon Emperor Pearl was likely insufficient for such a feat.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh——
The waves continued to surge.
Abruptly.
The Dragon God Crown Prince, who had been resting with closed eyes, felt a sudden, icy chill seize his dragon scales.
His massive dragon eyes snapped open, glaring into the gloom.
There, he saw...
A figure with a billowing cloak, wearing a cute bull mask and possessing a frame as sturdy as a mountain.
With arms crossed and hair drifting like seaweed in the current, the figure stood there.
He was calmly watching the dragon as if it were nothing more than a common loach, his gaze fixed directly upon him.
