As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1664: The Underworld Is Backed by the Imperial Court—Master Li Makes a High-Profile Move
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Just Martial Saints and Divine Fetus experts manage to fend off the poison's corrosion, though it's only a temporary hold.
The toxin infiltrates their heart meridians and courses through every part of their forms; ultimately, they all succumb and perish.
Upon the sedan, a subtle shift appeared on Xie Yunshen's face.
With a gentle flick of 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 tone in Xie Yunshen's yell made his heart jolt.
A flash of sword light swept through, sealing off the path where the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill's toxic mist was leaking out; the sword glow poured down like a cascading torrent, halting every bit of the poisonous haze.
Hiss, hiss, hiss—
The sword light itself blackened from the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill's corrosive assault.
"As expected of the Poison Saint... truly poisonous..."
A chill sweat broke out on Gu Qianchi.
Watching the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect disciples inside the mountain gate collapse one after another under the toxic mist, he could only grieve over Gu Yinxuan's ruthless nature in his mind.
This individual, always sly and devious, treated lives as worthless, including those of his fellow sect members.
Gu Yinxuan and Gu Yangxuan came together.
They tore through the void with their forms, bounding sideways in flight.
Yet...
While Gu Yinxuan directed his thoughts to guide the Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill, he kept fleeing.
All at once, a cold dread gripped his heart.
A dark silhouette hovered above, as a colossal black metropolis suddenly obstructed their way.
It turned out to be the inky Fengdu City from the Underworld, radiating savage fury!
"The Underworld!!!"
Gu Yangxuan grasped it right away, his eyes almost popping out!
Still, spotting the silhouette atop the Fengdu City tower, the fear in his chest almost faded.
For the one there wore an icy Horse Face Mask, with pitch-dark locks whipping wildly across the mask!
The Horse Face from the Underworld?!
Shock struck Gu Yangxuan's heart.
Everyone now knew the Horse Face of the Underworld's true face; most had learned the real person behind it.
The Horse Face of the Underworld... was actually Li Che, the Divine Sculpture Master from the Qian Yuan Divine Sect!
And Gu Yangxuan narrowed his gaze.
Recalling yet another role of Li Che.
The parent of that remarkable Human Medicine, Li Nuanxi!
"I heard... you want to use my daughter to refine Human Medicine?"
The voice, flat and icy, stripped of any feeling, drifted slowly from under the Horse Face Mask.
A cold sneer twisted Gu Yangxuan's lips.
"So what if I do?"
"What can you, as a father, do for your daughter?"
Gu Yangxuan let out a mocking chuckle; sure, the Underworld held deep mysteries, but the Horse Face of the Underworld... seemed pretty average.
Nevertheless.
In the instant that followed, Gu Yangxuan watched the Horse Face of the Underworld vault powerfully off the city wall.
Plummeting swiftly from the ramparts, charging straight at him!
Like a wild horse thundering over endless plains!
"Courting death!"
Gu Yangxuan's bulky frame shook fiercely, his twisted features spasming with killing rage!
How bold for this insignificant Horse Face to act so brazen in his presence!
If the Earthly Ghost Emperor of the Underworld made a move, he'd think twice, but a simple Horse Face who hadn't even hit Top-level Peak—what nerve to flaunt!
Did every fool think they could trample the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect's Grandmaster?
Fury warped Gu Yangxuan's visage, and the pill furnace at his back rumbled with quakes, a horrifying Qi-Blood surging out!
Intending to shatter this Horse Face to bits!
The Horse Face of the Underworld...
Just trash below Top-level Peak, relying on a few distant gadgets—what else could he boast?!
The very next instant.
Gu Yangxuan witnessed a statue hurled abruptly from the Horse Face's grip.
Horror and disbelief flooded his face at once!
For...
The statue swelled hugely against the breeze!
In a flash, it morphed into a hundred-zhang behemoth of a fearsome Mechanical Beast!
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz—
Countless Myriad Mechanism Seals activated in unison, shining with intense crimson glow!
A dread aura, fit only for a Martial God, burst out in ruinous force!
Utter disbelief filled Gu Yangxuan's eyes.
"What... what is this?!"
"A Mechanical Beast?!"
"How could there be a Martial God level Mechanical Beast?!"
The Horse Face figure had disappeared, only to emerge inside the Mechanical Beast's skull, as though fused as its core mind.
The Divine Base Demon Ape balled its Five Fingers tight, humming with myriad Wanxiang Nine Divine Mechanism Seals along its limb.
Then, scorching flows rushed in, and Dao Yun flared!
A violet Tao Tribulation Fire wrapped the fist of the Divine Machine Demon Ape.
Space cracked bit by bit beneath that strike!
Savagely slamming toward the stunned and defenseless Gu Yangxuan!
Boom—!!!
The sky and ground quaked!
Blood and meat burst apart, spraying in all directions!
