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...
Merely those at the Martial Saint or Divine Fetus stage manage to withstand the poison's corrosion, though it's nothing more than a temporary hold.
The toxin infiltrates their heart veins and courses through every inch of their forms; in the end, death claims them without exception.
Aboard the sedan, a faint alteration crossed Xie Yunshen's features.
With a gentle flick of his feather fan, he called out sharply: "Grandmaster Gu!"
Gu Qianchi had been mulling over chasing after Gu Yangxuan to prove his loyalty.
But the urgent tone in Xie Yunshen's voice jolted his heart.
A sweep of sword light barred the path where the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill's toxic mist leaked through, the blade's glow pouring down like a cascading torrent, sealing off every trace of the deadly fumes.
Hiss, hiss, hiss—
Even the sword light darkened under the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill's relentless erosion.
"Worthy of the Poison Saint... utterly venomous..."
Cold sweat drenched Gu Qianchi.
Watching the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect disciples collapse one after another amid the toxic haze at the mountain gate, he could only inwardly curse Gu Yangxuan's cruelty.
This scheming individual, ever deceitful, treated lives as worthless, even those of his fellow sect members.
Gu Yangxuan and Gu Yinxuan came together.
Shattering the void with their forms, they bounded sideways in flight.
Yet...
Gu Yinxuan, directing his thoughts to guide the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill, pressed on with his retreat.
Abruptly, a chill gripped his core.
A massive shadow descended from above, unveiling a colossal dark fortress that suddenly obstructed their route.
It was the obsidian Fengdu City from the Underworld, surging with savage fury!
"The Underworld!!!"
Realization struck Gu Yangxuan like lightning, his eyes bulging in fury!
Still, spotting the silhouette atop the Fengdu City's tower, the dread in his chest almost dissolved.
For the figure bore an icy Horse Face Mask, with pitch-black locks whipping wildly across it!
The Horse Face of the Underworld?!
Shock rippled through Gu Yangxuan's mind.
The Horse Face of the Underworld's true nature was no secret anymore, known to nearly everyone.
The Horse Face of the Underworld... turned out to be Li Che, the Divine Sculpture Master from the Qian Yuan Divine Sect!
Gu Yangxuan narrowed his gaze.
Recalling Li Che's other role.
The sire of that remarkable Human Medicine, Li Nuanxi!
"I heard... you intend to refine my daughter into Human Medicine?"
The voice, flat and icy with no trace of warmth, drifted slowly from under the Horse Face Mask.
A sneer twisted Gu Yangxuan's lips.
"And if I do?"
"What can a mere father like you possibly achieve for his child?"
Gu Yangxuan let out a mocking chuckle; the Underworld's depths were mysterious, sure, but the Horse Face of the Underworld... seemed downright average.
However.
In the instant that followed, Gu Yangxuan witnessed the Horse Face of the Underworld vault powerfully from the tower.
Plummeting swiftly along the wall, he barreled straight at him!
Like a rampaging steed thundering over endless plains!
"Seeking your own end!"
Gu Yangxuan's bulky frame quaked fiercely, his twisted visage spasming with lethal rage!
How bold for this insignificant Horse Face to act so brazenly in his presence!
The Earthly Ghost Emperor of the Underworld might give him pause, but a lowly Horse Face shy of Top-level Peak—what nerve to flaunt such pride?
Did every fool think they could trample the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's Grandmaster?
Ferocity warped Gu Yangxuan's countenance, and the pill furnace at his back thrummed with roars, unleashing a horrifying surge of Qi-Blood!
Intending to shatter this Horse Face into oblivion!
The Horse Face of the Underworld...
Just trash below Top-level Peak, relying on distant contraptions—what else could he boast?!
The very next instant.
Gu Yangxuan beheld a statue hurled abruptly from the Horse Face's grasp.
His expression twisted into sheer dismay and terror!
For...
The statue expanded enormously against the breeze!
In a flash, it morphed into a hundred-zhang behemoth of a horrifying Mechanical Beast!
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz—
Countless Myriad Mechanism Seals activated in unison, radiating a fierce crimson glow!
A dread aura, exclusive to Martial Gods, exploded in ruinous force!
Utter disbelief filled Gu Yangxuan's stare.
"What... what in the world is that?!"
"A Mechanical Beast?!"
"How can a Martial God-tier Mechanical Beast even exist?!"
The Horse Face figure had disappeared, only to rematerialize inside the Mechanical Beast's skull, as though fused as its very core.
The Divine Base Demon Ape balled its Five Fingers tight, humming with myriad Wanxiang Nine Divine Mechanism Seals along its limb.
Then, scorching torrents rushed in, and Dao Yun flared!
Purple Tao Tribulation Fire cloaked the Divine Machine Demon Ape's fist.
Under that strike, space fractured bit by bit!
It hammered mercilessly at the stunned and defenseless Gu Yangxuan!
Boom—!!!
The sky and ground quaked!
Blood and gore burst apart, spraying in all directions!
