Legend of the Great Sage

hing a palm strike at Li Qingshan’s chest.

Li Qingshan was overjoyed.
Was this not the opportunity he had been waiting for the entire time? Cold light shone through his eyes as fire-like hair drifted out from behind his helmet.
A moo deafened the surroundings.
The figure of the ox demon appeared behind him, butting its head towards the Myriad Poison Ancestor.
That was his fist thrown!

The Myriad Poison Ancestor suddenly felt uneasy, but he was unable to work out what went wrong.
With Li Qingshan’s cultivation, he would still have a chance at surviving if he escaped, but he was clearly asking to die by engaging him forcefully.
It was already too late for him to change his mind now.

The fist and palm collided!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Li Qingshan’s fist rapidly corroded away, revealing bone in the blink of an eye.
Even the shining, metallic lustre dimmed from the corrosion, but as the poison seeped through his body, a smile stretched over his face.

On the other hand, the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s face was filled with disbelief.
His skinny hand rapidly deformed and changed in shape, like a stick that had been broken, exploding into a clump of mist with a bang.

He was a great cultivator of the third heavenly tribulation, but his physique was not his forte.
He stood no chance against Li Qingshan’s great strength that could even rival Corpse Kings and Daemon Kings, not to mention there was the all-conquering power of tremors too.
He had been openly and viciously deceived by Li Qingshan, falling back heavily into the throne.

Li Qingshan’s scarlet eyes clearly reflected the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s frightened face, as well as his ghost-like figure.
He planted a foot on the green bubble created by the jade throne that rapidly sank in, raising his arms high in the air and crossing his fists, launching a violent attack with a roar.

Even if it were a mountain, he would crush it to pieces!

Boom!

The green clouds dispersed, revealing the azure sky.
The green bubble twisted and surged violently, actually withstanding Li Qingshan's powerful attack without shattering, even showing signs of trying to recover.
The defences were as powerful as they could be, basically almost indestructible.

The Myriad Poison Ancestor raised his head and looked at Li Qingshan.
His armour had all been eaten away, revealing his robust body and his devilishly-handsome face.
Pointed teeth poked out from his flagrant smile.
The pair of ox horns on his head curved like the crescent moon as if they were trying to penetrate the sky.

Just who… is this kid!?

The Myriad Poison Ancestor began considering retreating.
The tip of a sword poked out of his chest.
The Buddha Slaying sword pierced the green bubble, the back of the jade throne, as well as his back.

A white skeleton stood behind the jade throne, wrapped in surging flames.
With her around, he would never be alone.

“Y- you-” The Myriad Poison Ancestor widened his eyes, which were now completely bloodshot.

The Buddha Slaying sword definitely was not just tough and sharp.
It was currently destroying his mind, burning his flesh, and devouring his soul.

Li Qingshan cut right to the chase.
He planted his feet on the armrests of the jade throne and grabbed the Myriad Poison Ancestor by the head, throwing another punch!

Xiao An twisted the Buddha Slaying sword, and the Samādhi Flames of White Bone surged out, enveloping the Myriad Poison Ancestor.
White bone claws reached towards the back of the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s head.

The green tumour in the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s hand suddenly swelled up, beating like a heart.
With each thump, it would grow ten times in size, highlighting its green strands and vessels.

The Myriad Poison Ancestor produced an inhuman roar, “Die!”

“Retreat!”

Li Qingshan narrowed his eyes and forcefully wrenched back his fist.
His phoenix wings flapped forwards violently, and he rapidly pulled back.
Xiao An drew out her sword as well, but they were already a step too late.

The green tumour turned into a green sun.
Thousands of rays of brutal-green light shot out, drowning out the sun overhead and swallowing them up.

The green light landed on a mountain far off in the distance, and the mountain collapsed silently, landing on the jungle below.
Whether it were the trees or rocks, it was all reduced to fine powder, turning into a pit of white sand in the blink of an eye.

The light receded, and most of Li Qingshan’s flesh was gone as if he had been gnawed away by invisible insects.
It revealed his jagged bones, but they no longer shone with a metallic luster.
They had become extremely frail.

Xiao An’s white bones were also coated in the colour of rust.
She arrived beside Li Qingshan, “Are you alright?”

“It’s not enough to kill me.
That old bastard has escaped!” Li Qingshan said.

As she asked that, Xiao An used the Samādhi Flames of White Bone to suppress the spreading “rust”, while Li Qingshan used the Spirit Turtle’s Method of Sea Suppression to stop the poison he was coated in.
Even though he had grasped an opportunity, killing a third heavenly tribulation cultivator still was not that easy.

Having been kept busy for a moment, it was enough for the Myriad Poison Ancestor to flee back to the Myriad Poison cult.
The formations of the Myriad Poison cult even surpassed the ones on Savage mountain.
With the Myriad Poison Ancestor personally controlling them, although it would not be as great as the Great Banyan Tree King, he could still unleash enough power.
Even if the two of them were in peak condition, they would not be able to break through.

“We’ve played all our cards this time, but he’s still managed to escape.
There’ll probably be quite a lot of trouble from now onwards.”

“The hunting hound has already been sent out.
Perhaps she might be able to keep him busy for a while,” said Xiao An.

“The hunting hound? Oh!” Li Qingshan suddenly realised what she meant.
He smiled.
“You really are the one who thinks things through.”

Asura Commander Yin Qing flew through the air, constantly flashing through space as she tailed a streak of green light closely.
She searched for an opportunity and was ready to strike at any time.

When Li Qingshan began facing the Myriad Poison Ancestor, Xiao An had given her this mission.
She had remained on the mountain peak the entire time, spectating the battle carefully.
When the Myriad Poison Ancestor blew up the cult treasure and fled from Savage mountain, she set off immediately with a single mission—keep the Myriad Poison Ancestor busy.

She was tense.
The opponent was a great cultivator on par with Asura Kings.
Although he was heavily injured and currently fleeing, it only made things more dangerous.
