Chapter 269
The reason it came with Xiang Liu was that two precious medicines were not enough to satisfy the four disaster beasts.
"You’re an idiot! If we don’t kill this kid, do we even need to think about how to divide it?"
Among Xiang Liu's four heads, two were fixated on Li Mo, while the other two were scolding Fei Yi.
"I take the odd days, you take the even ones. We’ve always shared like this, haven’t we? When have I ever betrayed you?"
"Fine."
Fei Yi thought for a moment and felt there was nothing wrong with that.
The two disaster beasts turned their attention back to Li Mo, ready to send him on his way before charging into the Mountain Lord Temple.
"Wait!"
"I have one more thing to say. If you don’t listen, you’ll definitely regret it."
Bai Ze Xiao Li suddenly raised his palm.
"You talk too much."
"What’s your last words?"
The two disaster beasts felt that Li Mo and the divine jade in the temple were already theirs to claim, especially since the earlier Taiyin Qinghui had dispelled their negative emotions.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to hold back until now.
The divine light in Bai Ze Xiao Li's eyes dimmed, and he asked with a hint of sympathy:
"Fei Yi, did you and Xiang Liu agree that the life force of the beings in your territory would be divided as odd days for him and even days for you?"
"When you went out on even days, did Xiang Liu come to help guard your cave?"
"That’s right. I even asked him to come. My wife, a demon, is alone in the cave; it’s quite pitiful."
Fei Yi nodded, feeling that Xiang Liu was quite loyal.
Xiang Liu’s expression shifted slightly, a sense of foreboding creeping in.
Bai Ze Xiao Li sighed lightly:
"Is your wife already pregnant?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
"Congratulations on the impending arrival of a precious son."
Bai Ze Xiao Li cleared his throat:
"Though it might not have anything to do with you."
Fei Yi was practically a big grievance.
The two disaster beasts shared the same territory, but the incense offerings on odd days all went to Xiang Liu, meaning he had missed out on a day’s worth of offerings.
While he was out absorbing the life force of beings, Xiang Liu hadn’t been idle...
"?"
Fei Yi’s large head seemed to turn green in an instant.
"Don’t listen to his nonsense!" Xiang Liu panicked, not intending to let Li Mo continue.
But before it could pounce, Fei Yi stepped in front:
"Take it easy; this kid is as good as dead. Let him finish."
"Why don’t you go home and check?"
Bai Ze Xiao Li looked at him with pity:
"The number of heads might not be quite right..."
"The physiques of demons can’t be generalized! What if it’s a mutation? Having two heads is perfectly normal!"
"I didn’t even know there were two heads; how did you find out?"
"Let me explain..."
Xiang Liu put on a show of wanting to explain, but suddenly his figure blurred and he lunged toward the Mountain Lord Temple like a slingshot.
From around him, a torrent of black water surged forth.
"Don’t think you can snatch the divine jade before me!"
The aggrieved Fei Yi was both furious and anxious, following closely behind.
His four wings unfurled, and the strange sight left others parched, while the black water that blocked him evaporated in an instant.
The two demons didn’t engage in a life-and-death struggle right then.
But they achieved Li Mo’s expectations; at least they wouldn’t cooperate fully anymore, and would instead be suspicious and restrained, not wanting the other to get ahead.
That was enough.
Whoosh—
In a flash, Xiang Liu managed to halt his massive form.
"You want to go first? Fine, I’ll let you!"
The black water suddenly surged up, forming a great wave that engulfed the already powerful Fei Yi.
Li Mo retracted Bai Ze’s form and vaguely sensed the other’s intentions.
Xiang Liu, more aware of his strength, decided to use Fei Yi, the big grievance, as a front line to wear himself down.
Boom—
Fei Yi, already on edge, had no choice but to unleash his brute force as a sixth-grade disaster beast, crashing forward with the might of the surging wave.
This blow could at least shatter a small hill.
But at the same time, Li Mo was enveloped in a shimmering golden light, instantly covering his entire body.
Bang~~
This golden light, seemingly subtle and weak, collided with Fei Yi, shattering its hardened scales. This monstrous beast was sent reeling back, rolling several times and crushing a large swath of trees.
"You fool, thinking you could get ahead of me."
Xiang Liu smirked cruelly.
The young clan leader had said that Li Mo, transformed into a Ming Jiao (a mythical dragon), possessed a strange golden light that could make his body harder than divine iron for a short time.
Now, Xiang Liu had experienced it firsthand.
This move shouldn’t be used frequently; otherwise, it would be too overpowered.
Besides, the so-called powerful strength of the other, somehow deceiving the bloodline power of other demon clans, was nothing to fear.
After all, he was a sixth-grade disaster beast, and his bloodline power could already influence the heavens and earth.
"Kid, that was your strongest move, wasn’t it?"
The four heads of Xiang Liu didn’t take the opportunity to pounce on Li Mo but instead charged straight for the Mountain Lord Temple, their voices dripping with mockery:
"While I go for the divine jade, you can try to escape and see if you can make it out alive."
However.
Inside the Mountain Lord Temple.
Ying Bing pressed her lips together, watching the four massive snake heads rapidly enlarge.
If Xiang Liu burst into the temple, she would have no choice but to intervene.
Her hand was just about to grasp the sword hilt.
In the next moment.
Xiang Liu’s form suddenly halted, rigidly straightening as if caught by an invisible force.
Its tail had been grabbed.
"Oi, who said my strongest move was indestructible?"
Li Mo held onto its tail.
Xiang Liu: ?
It certainly didn’t think Li Mo could escape.
It was just that this kid had stirred up trouble, causing a rift between it and Fei Yi, and now it had to deal with another disaster beast.
So it wanted to retaliate, letting this so-called unparalleled Tian Jiao (heavenly dragon) abandon the Qing Luan goddess to flee, only to appear at the last moment, making this kid feel despair.
Never did it expect.
Not only did he not run, but he also dared to fight back, even grabbing its tail.
How dare he?
But just then.
It saw Li Mo pull out a hammer.
Hmm?
Did this kid think that little hammer, smaller than its teeth, could do anything to it?
Well, at least he had some guts...
"Eighty."
Right, what was this kid mumbling about?
Was it a martial arts technique?

Chapter 291: One Against Two, Brother or Younger Brother?
Xiang Liu had a chance to dodge; after all, it possessed a bloodline ability that allowed it to turn its entire body into part of the black water surge. However, using this move would leave it in a weakened state.
Unfortunately, it was wary that Fei Yi would take advantage of its weakness to settle the score.
Regrettably, it didn’t use all its strength to escape when Li Mo pulled out the hammer, so by the time it realized, it was already too late.
As Xiang Liu’s body began to dissolve, it felt the surrounding air solidify, hard as iron, leaving no time to react and breaking through the heavy hammer force with its bloodline power.
The hammerhead rapidly enlarged in its eyes.
Xiang Liu’s eyes widened, sensing the breath of death; its scales stood on end, yet were swept away by the overwhelming hammer force like waves.
It felt as if a world was crashing down, and anything in its path would be mercilessly crushed.
A being at the Observation God realm, crossing boundaries to kill a sixth-grade disaster beast?
If anyone had said that to it before, it would have scoffed.
But at this moment.
It believed.
Boom—
The overwhelming force that could stabilize the world crashed down, the impact resonating through Xiang Liu’s body, exploding into a rain of black blood.
"Ha..."
Xiao Li retracted the hammer, exhaling a puff of white breath.
Harnessing the power of the world, using the Panjie Meteor Hammer to unleash a world-shattering blow, he naturally had a greater grasp, but after that one strike, he had no strength left.
Fortunately, Xiang Liu, due to its suspicions of Fei Yi, hesitated and underestimated itself.
It could be said that it hadn’t even unleashed thirty percent of its abilities, dying in a very frustrating manner.
Now, he still had the strength to deal with another opponent.
But he wondered.
Would the other two sixth-grade disaster beasts share the same thoughts as Xiang Liu and Fei Yi? If they came over too, he would have to consider a strategic retreat with Bing Tuo.
There was still quite a distance to Nanguan City, but this was certainly not the first wave of disaster beasts to come knocking.
Now was not the time for a life-and-death struggle.
The wind howled, and black rain poured down.
The doors of the Mountain Lord Temple were flung open with a loud crash.
The girl with the sword, her hair flying, saw the figure in the distance standing firm, and only then did she release her grip on the sword, her gaze calming.
There had been no shortage of warriors trying to show off in front of her before.
