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 was able to detect the aura without relying on his Heaven and Earth Soul; instead, he utilized the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
Through the perception of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, the aura emanating from that Hunter God Assassin was identical to that of Great Elder Fang Hanshu.
“He truly hides himself deep...”
Li Che couldn’t help but click his tongue in surprise.
Divine Tribulation!
Even Li Che had not anticipated this. The Great Elder was unlike Gu Qianchi and Zhao Beidou, who possessed experience with divine tribulations; those two could still move freely in the mortal world without drawing the gaze of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.
How was such a feat accomplished?
Li Che’s eyes glittered with curiosity.
“Hunting God Pavilion?”
It was highly likely that this was connected to the Hunting God Pavilion.
Putting aside the Great Elder's secrets for now, Li Che stood up. As he spread his arms slightly, his bones and muscles immediately emitted a series of crisp, crackling sounds.
“The Dragon God Clan... according to the information from Xie Yunshen, they have fully defected to the Imperial Court. They plan to make landfall from the East Sea. Even the old Dragon God, whose days are numbered, was chosen to emerge from those waters.”
“The Emperor gave the order to permit the old Dragon God’s landing. This deity realm old Dragon God desires to fight for his race; if he can successfully assault and seize the Qian Yuan Divine Sect... then the Dragon God Clan will have a permanent foothold on land in the future.”
“Qianyuan Dao City is intended to be their future domain...”
Li Che’s eyes flashed.
“This old Dragon God is no simple adversary. Similar to Grandmaster Qian Yuan, he is a deity of the One Disaster and Two Tribulations realm of Divine Tribulation. In terms of raw power, he is a tougher opponent than Zhao Beidou or Gu Qianchi.”
Li Che had to carefully weigh the threat posed by the Dragon God's arrival.
Even though Xie Yunshen was now his prisoner.
The old Dragon God remained an ancient monster of the First Disaster Second Rank, after all...
If he were forced into a direct confrontation, it would be quite troublesome.
Standing in his study, the corners of Li Che’s mouth suddenly curved upward. His face seemed to be cast in a shadow of darkness.
“Therefore, the Dragon God Crown Prince... must become my captive. Only then can I deliver a more effective, surprising backstab to that old Dragon God.”
A Divine Tribulation Cultivator of the First Disaster Two Tribulation was undeniably formidable.
Li Che acknowledged the strength of his foe, and so...
He could only turn to some underhanded methods.
Was backstabbing considered despicable?
It certainly was, but Li Che never concerned himself with such labels; what was wrong with being a bit underhanded if it meant surviving?
This world was a chaotic place, like walking on thin ice. With a wife and daughter to protect, being a little bit despicable and favoring a backstab just to stay alive... was that really excessive?!
Even if it was excessive, it didn't matter...
Because only the survivors have the right to speak of reason.
Li Che slowly exhaled a powerful, concentrated stream of air.
“This is perfect... I can also test the physical strength of my body after its transformation into the Martial Immortal Golden Body.”
In the following instant, with his fingers spread wide, a cute bull mask was immediately placed over his face.
His fingertips brushed across the surface of the mask.
A white chess piece appeared instantly within his palm.
The moment his five fingers clenched shut.
His entire presence vanished from the study.
...
...
Rumble——
Upon the surface of the Grand Canal, the waters surged without end. Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, scattering and swaying through the air.
Before they could even touch the river, they were dissolved and melted by a scorching heat!
Down at the riverbed.
Dark currents swirled relentlessly, roaring and bursting with force.
An azure dragon, its entire body a deep bluish-green hue with scales packed incredibly tight and dense, exhaled hot currents. Its aura ran wild as it lay beneath the riverbed, causing the surrounding water to boil as if heated by its intense Qi-Blood.
Its body stretched over thirty feet long, looking like a suppressed and terrifying prehistoric beast!
With every breath, the dragon’s whiskers drifted upward, triggering massive waves that shook the water continuously.
And further away.
Three much smaller dragons were also lying there in a deep sleep.
The Dragon God Crown Prince, holding the rank of Titled Dragon King, had consumed a Dragon Emperor Pearl. He was currently refining its energy, hoping to break through into the Dragon God Realm, even though... the chances were very slim.
The Dragon God Clan had not seen a new Dragon God emerge for many years.
While the Dragon God Crown Prince was full of ambition, he never truly believed he could achieve such a feat with only a single Dragon Emperor Pearl.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh——
The waves churned.
Suddenly.
The Dragon God Crown Prince, who had been resting with his eyes closed, felt as if every one of his dragon scales was freezing over.
His two dragon eyes snapped wide, glaring intensely.
That was when he saw...
A figure with a billowing cloak, wearing a cute bull mask, standing as robust as a mountain.
With arms crossed and hair floating in the water like seaweed.
The figure was calmly observing the dragon as if it were nothing more than a common loach, staring right at him.
