Si Cangqiong's expression was solemn, but he showed no surprise. He activated the "Azure Sky Technique" to its limit, and the azure light around him suddenly expanded, forming a huge light shield that blocked the Blood God Children one by one.
At the same time, with a thought, countless stars shone within the light shield. Each star represented his connection with heaven and earth. The power of the stars gathered and transformed into powerful energy waves, which counterattacked against those Blood God Sons.
Boom boom boom!
The Blood God Child collided with the power of the stars, unleashing a dazzling brilliance that dyed the entire sky with vibrant colors.
Upon seeing this, the Styx Ancestor frowned slightly, then quickly formed hand seals and unleashed the "Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus Technique".
A gigantic red lotus of karmic fire rose from beneath his feet, raging fiercely and domineeringly, piercing through all obstacles and heading straight for Si Cangqiong.
Si Cangqiong sensed the threat of the karmic fire, took a deep breath, and the power of the "Cangqiong Technique" within his body surged to its limit. In the clear blue light, there was a faint image of a dragon and a phoenix bringing good fortune.
Immediately, the dragon and phoenix cried out together and rushed towards the karmic fire lotus. When the two met, they immediately unleashed a tremendous energy fluctuation, and the entire palace seemed to be in the midst of an apocalyptic storm.
"Old Ghost Styx, your Blood Sea Demonic Path is nothing special!"
Si Cangqiong's clothes fluttered in the wind, his hair flew, and his voice pierced through the roar, resounding across the sky. His slender figure appeared and disappeared in the light and flames, yet he remained steadfast, like the most solid barrier between heaven and earth.
Ancestor Styx remained expressionless. With a wave of his hands, the power of the Blood Sea surged once more, merging with the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords to transform into a blood-red tornado that shot straight towards Si Cangqiong.
This time, he held nothing back, unleashing the full power of the five great secret scriptures of the demonic path, intending to suppress Si Cangqiong in one fell swoop!
Seeing this, Si Cangqiong's "Azure Sky Technique" also reached its peak at this moment. It seemed that countless eyes in the world were watching him. It was the will of the ancient world, giving him his final support.
He clasped his hands together, and the world instantly changed. A huge pillar of clear blue light descended from the sky, directly meeting the blood-red tornado.
The two forces met in the air, unleashing an unprecedentedly dazzling light. The entire palace was enveloped by this power, and whether they were demons or righteous, celestial beings or mortals, they all felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance and powerlessness in the face of this power.
In the light, it seemed as if the scene of the creation of heaven and earth emerged, and there were also signs of the return of all things to stillness. Everything became blurred at this moment.
...
Meanwhile, on the plaza outside the Qiantian Palace, various forces surged like a tidal wave, sword shadows clashed, magical power surged, and the battle intensified.
Not far from this chaotic and noisy place, deep within the Great Qian Imperial Palace, a maze of ornately carved and painted corridors provided excellent cover for clandestine operations.
Within this labyrinthine corridor, the four Corpse Ancestors, who were recruited by Su Ye's Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) as wandering martial artists of the demonic path, were stealthily moving about in a manner completely inconsistent with their identities.
"I say, wouldn't you say this counts as 'breaking into the palace at night and stealing chickens and dogs'? This plot is much more interesting than those in the plays."
Hou Qing walked at the front, toying with a willow branch that had been broken off at some point in his hand, a faint smile on his lips.
Ying Gou (older sister mode) followed closely behind, her petite figure appearing and disappearing in the shadows of the corridor. Her big eyes sparkled with intense curiosity and excitement. Occasionally, she would stop and tug at Hou Qing's sleeve, asking him all sorts of questions, whenever she saw something new or interesting.
"Hey, Hou Qing, look at the birds in that painting! Aren't they the same ones we saw in the mountains before? They're so beautiful!"
Her Sichuan accent sounded particularly amusing in the quiet corridor, adding a touch of relaxation to the otherwise tense atmosphere.
"Now we just need to wait until those big shots are both exhausted from fighting, then we'll be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Hmm... perfect!"
Hou Qing walked briskly, turning left and right along the complicated corridors, and turned back to Ying Gou (in her older sister mode) and smiled softly.
"You fool, you wish! Let's get past the heavy guards in this palace first."
"However, if we can find something delicious to eat, I'll reluctantly accompany you for a while."
Ying Gou (in her older sister mode) moved her short legs incredibly fast, muttering in a thick local dialect.
"Hehe, Ying Gou, once we've got this done, I'll treat you to the best roast whole lamb in Shangrao!"
The most robust of the men, Hanba, though his steps were heavy, surprisingly appeared light in the corridor, and chuckled.
"Can you guys stop fooling around and forget our purpose!"
"This is our first operation under Lord Zhenguo's command, don't mess it up!"
"This whole mess was your fault again. I don't mind showing you my 'resurrection' technique!"
The four walked and chatted in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. After walking for a while, Hou Qing, who was at the front, suddenly stopped, touched his lips with his finger, and made a shushing gesture to signal everyone to pay attention.
"There's movement over there. Looks like we're not the only 'Night Stalkers'."
He then listened intently, his brow furrowing slightly before a smile appeared on his face.
"This is going to be interesting; we might even find something to have fun with."
Sister (Yinggou)'s eyes lit up with excitement, and she muttered to herself.
"Have some fun, but don't forget our mission, and also, protect our older sister."
The drought demon, however, appeared much more cautious, and he offered a low warning.
"Don't worry, we're here. We won't let anything happen to Sister. Besides, this commotion might be our opportunity!"
The surrendered minister gently patted the drought demon's shoulder, a hint of comfort flashing in his eyes.
"Wait, there are patrolling guards."
Hou Qing paused again, peering over the wall.
"Should we hide? Or...?"
Ying Gou (in her older sister mode) blinked, looking somewhat furtive, and whispered her suggestion.
"Why are you hiding? Just go straight there, I have my own way of doing things."
The drought demon spoke confidently, taking out a small packet of powder from its pocket and gently scattering it into the air.
Instantly, a strange fragrance filled the air, making people feel dizzy and disoriented.
"This is……"
The surrendered official reached out and felt it, then asked curiously.
"The sleeping potion, I made it myself. I guarantee it will make those guards sleep like logs."
The drought demon rubbed its hands together and chuckled.
Sure enough, a short while later, the sound of snoring came from ahead, and several guards lay sprawled on the ground, fast asleep.
The four exchanged a knowing glance, then silently crept towards the direction from which the sound came.
