As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1664 - 436: The Underworld Is Backed by the Imperial Court—Master Li Makes a High-Profile Move
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Just Martial Saints and Divine Fetus experts manage to fend off the poison's corrosion, yet it's nothing more than a temporary hold.
Eventually, the toxin infiltrates their heart meridians and courses through every part of their forms, leading them to perish without fail.
Xie Yunshen, seated upon the sedan, showed a faint shift in his facial expression.
Gently fanning with his feather fan, he called out in a booming voice: "Grandmaster Gu!"
Gu Qianchi had been mulling over the idea of chasing after Gu Yangxuan to prove his loyalty.
But the sharp yell from Xie Yunshen made his heart jolt in surprise.
A sweep of sword light cut through the air, sealing off the path where the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill's poisonous fog was leaking out; like a cascading waterfall, the sword glow halted every bit of the deadly mist.
Hiss, hiss, hiss—
The sword light itself blackened from the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill's corrosive assault.
"As expected from the Poison Saint... so utterly venomous..."
A chill sweat broke out on Gu Qianchi's brow.
Watching the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's disciples inside the mountain gate collapse one after another under the poisonous haze, he could only grieve over Gu Yinxuan's ruthless nature in his mind.
This individual, always scheming and deceitful, treated lives as worthless, including those from his very own sect.
Gu Yinxuan and Gu Yangxuan came together.
Shattering the void with their forms, they bounded sideways in a desperate flight.
Yet...
As Gu Yinxuan directed his thoughts to guide the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill, he pressed on with his getaway.
All at once, a cold dread gripped his heart.
A massive shadow appeared above, unveiling a colossal dark metropolis that suddenly obstructed their route.
It turned out to be the deeply shadowed Fengdu City from the Underworld, radiating savage fury!
"The Underworld!!!"
Realization struck Gu Yangxuan in an instant, his eyes on the verge of popping out!
Still, spotting the silhouette atop the Fengdu City's tower eased the fear surging in his chest almost completely.
For the figure there donned a chillingly icy Horse Face Mask, with pitch-dark locks whipping wildly across the mask!
The Horse Face from the Underworld?!
Shock seized Gu Yangxuan's heart.
By now, the Horse Face of the Underworld's true nature was common knowledge, with most folks in the know.
The Horse Face of the Underworld... actually being Li Che, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect's Divine Sculpture Master!
Gu Yangxuan narrowed his gaze.
Recalling yet another role Li Che held.
The parent of that remarkable Human Medicine, Li Nuanxi!
"I've heard... you're planning to turn my daughter into Human Medicine?"
Those flat, icy words, stripped of any feeling, drifted out slowly from under the Horse Face Mask.
A cold sneer twisted Gu Yangxuan's lips.
"And if I am?"
"What could a mere father possibly achieve for his child?"
Gu Yangxuan let out a mocking chuckle; sure, the Underworld held mysteries beyond measure, but the Horse Face of the Underworld... seemed pretty average.
But.
In the instant that followed, Gu Yangxuan witnessed the Horse Face of the Underworld vault powerfully off the city tower.
Plummeting swiftly down the wall, hurtling straight at him!
Resembling a wild horse thundering over vast distances!
"Seeking your own demise!"
Gu Yangxuan's bulky frame quaked fiercely, his twisted visage spasming with killing rage!
How bold for this insignificant Horse Face to act so brazen in his presence!
Should the Underworld's Earthly Ghost Emperor make a move, he'd think twice, but this lowly Horse Face, far from Top-level Peak, what nerve to flaunt such pride?
Was it that bold for anyone to trample upon the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's Grandmaster like this?
Fury warped Gu Yangxuan's features, as the cauldron at his back hummed with fierce tremors, a horrifying Qi-Blood surging wildly!
Intending to shatter this Horse Face to oblivion!
The Horse Face of the Underworld...
Just worthless trash below Top-level Peak, relying on distant contraptions alone, what else could he boast?
The following instant.
Gu Yangxuan observed a figurine hurled abruptly from the Horse Face's grasp.
His countenance flooded with stunned terror right away!
For...
The figurine expanded enormously amid the gusts!
In a flash, it morphed into a fearsome Mechanical Beast towering a hundred zhang high!
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz—
Myriad Mechanism Seals numbering in the millions activated all at once, shining with intense crimson light!
A dread aura exclusive to Martial Gods burst out in ruinous force!
Utter disbelief filled Gu Yangxuan's eyes.
"What... what in the world is that?!"
"A Mechanical Beast?!"
"How is a Martial God-tier Mechanical Beast even possible?!"
The Horse Face's form had disappeared, only to rematerialize inside the Mechanical Beast's cranium, as though fused as its controlling core.
The Divine Base Demon Ape balled its Five Fingers tight, humming with countless Wanxiang Nine Divine Mechanism Seals along its limb.
Next, scorching flows rushed in, and Dao Yun flared up!
Violet Tao Tribulation Fire wrapped around the Divine Machine Demon Ape's fist.
The void cracked bit by bit beneath that strike!
Savagely slamming down at the horrified, defenseless Gu Yangxuan!
Boom—!!!
The sky and ground quaked violently!
Flesh and gore burst apart, spraying in all directions!
