Chapter 171 Li Bai, the Lecherous Thief, Dies
Chapter 171 Li Bai, the Lecherous Thief, Dies
Upon hearing the loud noise, Mu Yue, who was reading in his study, rushed out of the study. He transformed into a long rainbow and landed on the palace. He saw Gu Yan fly out of the dust, and then saw his mother angrily attacking Gu Yan.
Empress Shu Lan's palm strikes were incredibly sharp. With each wave of her hand, large swaths of blue light shot out from her palm. Gu Yan dodged, evaded, and retreated. The Empress's palm strikes caused the surrounding buildings to collapse continuously.
Confused, Mu Yue immediately stepped forward, standing between the two: "Mother, what happened? This is my friend, isn't there some misunderstanding?"
Mother?
Is this woman Mu Yue's mother? Gu Yan felt even more embarrassed when she heard Mu Yue call Empress Shu Lan "mother." Anyone would feel awkward seeing their friend's mother taking a bath.
"What kind of friends do you have? He actually spied on your mother while she was bathing!" Shu Lan said angrily. If her gaze could kill, Gu Yan would have been dead a thousand times over by now.
She wanted nothing more than to tear Gu Yan to pieces right then and there. She was just angry because Gu Yan was spying on her, but now she was thinking about something else: This person was clearly a demigod like herself. What was his purpose in approaching her son?
Upon hearing her mother's words, Mu Yue looked at Gu Yan in disbelief and roared in fury, "Li Bai—"
Gu Yan immediately explained, "Mu Yue, let me explain! It's not what you think. I just wanted to see your mother's breasts..."
The jade pendant in front.
"asshole!!"
Before Gu Yan could finish speaking, the enraged Mu Yue threw a punch at him. No son could suppress his anger when his mother was being humiliated. His fist erupted with blinding light, and an enormous white fist imprint hurtled towards Gu Yan, like a mountain being hurled at her.
Gu Yan kicked away the fist imprint, and saw that Mu Yue now held a curved blade in his hand. Mu Yue angrily charged at Gu Yan with the blade, but Gu Yan flew into the air, dodging his attack.
"Mu Yue, it's really not what you think!"
"You lecherous thief, die!"
call out!
Mu Yue's sword energy cleaved through the void, his handsome face filled with rage. Not only him, but everyone in the Baiyue Imperial Palace was also furious when they heard that Gu Yan dared to spy on their Empress. The palace guards all unleashed their spiritual weapons and charged towards Gu Yan.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Yan immediately sped away into the distance.
Empress Shu Lan's expression turned cold: "Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
She pointed her finger at the sky, and a burst of red light erupted from her fingertip. Hundreds of dense white beams shot towards Gu Yan. These beams were like lines, each containing terrifying power, and their trajectory as they rushed towards Gu Yan resembled a vast net.
Gu Yan unfurled her Wind and Thunder Wings, her speed increasing dramatically, and she flew out of the palace's perimeter in an instant. The palace's protective arrays had already been activated; there were arrays to defend against external enemies, as well as arrays to kill intruders. Gu Yan flew out of the palace before the arrays were fully activated.
shhhhh--
The thin, white beams of light continued their pursuit, unable to shake them off even after they left the palace. Suddenly, Gu Yan slammed on the brakes, flicking her left hand. Frost blossoms bloomed in the sky, and a cold current swept through. All the beams of light were frozen, and a vast net of frost appeared in the sky.
Suddenly, the space behind Gu Yan shifted, and when he turned around, another figure appeared. Empress Shu Lan, with a cold and beautiful face, kicked towards Gu Yan.
Her kick was powerful enough to shatter space itself; the sound of it tearing through the air was terrifying enough. Gu Yan tried to block with both hands, but was still sent flying tens of thousands of miles away by her kick, crashing through countless mountain peaks with a series of thuds.
Gu Yan flew out from the collapsed mountain peak, thinking to herself that the physical bodies of the demon race were indeed powerful.
Suddenly, a wolf howled.
The entire world shook violently. Above, Empress Shu Lan's long hair fluttered, and beneath her feet stood a colossal Dharma image as large as a mountain. The Howling Moon Wolf, its entire body radiating silver light, released an extremely terrifying pressure.
The Howling Moon Wolf's eyes, glowing with a ghostly emerald light, resembled the moon suspended in the sky. It roared and unleashed a terrifying silver-white beam of light at Gu Yan. This beam illuminated the entire world, turning night into day in an instant. Wherever the beam touched, space collapsed, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the sky.
This was only because the Empress had restrained her power, fearing that she might accidentally harm her own people.
boom!!
A beam of light shot forth, seemingly threatening to devour Gu Yan and the sky behind him. Gu Yan now held a longsword in his hand—his Tai'a Sword. The Tai'a Sword unleashed a terrifying sword aura, an aura akin to that of a sword immortal, unstoppable. With a single strike, he cleaved the beam of light in two, the sword aura crushing it and forcing it back.
What?!
Empress Shu Lan's eyes widened in shock. Such powerful sword intent!
Who exactly is this person?
Her eyes were filled with shock, but her hands moved quickly. As she cast her spell, more than a dozen shields stacked up, blocking the attack that had been forced back.
boom!
Another deafening roar.
The surrounding mountains were all destroyed, and shockwaves continued to spread outwards, creating billowing dust.
The Empress made a grabbing motion in the air, and a long sword appeared in her hand. She gripped the silver-white sword and began to fight Gu Yan. In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows. After several dozen rounds, Empress Shu Lan began to fall into a disadvantageous position.
She grew increasingly alarmed. Just who was this person? It was obvious that he wasn't a demon, and his power felt different from other spirit masters. She knew all the demigods and quasi-gods on the Cloud Sky Continent, and she had also dealt with all the spirit emperors on the Jade Wave Continent. This person wasn't one of them.
Who exactly is he?
"Who exactly are you?" Empress Shu Lan asked loudly as she attacked.
"I am Li Bai, and I meant no harm. It was just an accident," Gu Yan said, dodging the attack as she tried to explain again.
"Do you think I'd believe that?" Empress Shu Lan said coldly. Her demonic aura erupted, her eyes glowing with an eerie light. Behind her, the enormous Howling Moon Wolf reappeared. This Howling Moon Wolf was as huge as a divine mountain, and its primordial spirit dharma form made the heavens and earth tremble. The moon in the sky seemed to grow larger and larger.
With a wolf howl, the moon in Gu Yan's vision multiplied into dozens.
Dozens of moons hovered in the sky, as if they came from outer space, and fell rapidly toward him.
Gu Yan was shocked and immediately summoned the Four Divine Beasts Flag.
The Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger—the four divine beasts—appeared simultaneously on the Cloud Sky Continent. The oppressive aura emanating from these divine beasts caused the demon race of the entire Moon Worship Empire to turn pale and tremble in fear.
As soon as the four divine beasts appeared, they simultaneously unleashed their divine powers: the Azure Dragon spewed out scorching dragon breath, the Vermilion Bird spread its wings and stirred up a storm of flames, the Black Tortoise exhaled extremely cold frost, and the White Tiger's roar shattered the void.
Boom boom boom—
It was as if the entire Cloud Sky Continent was shaking violently, as if the whole continent was experiencing an earthquake. The old monsters on the Cloud Sky Continent all stared in shock in the direction of the Moon Worship Empire. What was happening?
