Chapter 436 Battling the North Continent (1)

　　The white light was too fast. A moment ago, it was just a cold flash. In the next moment, it was already hovering in front of General Dongmu and Qi Yuan.

　　The strongest Heavenly Soldiers were only at the Perfected Immortal realm. At that moment, they could not react at all.

　　General Dongmu’s expression changed drastically. He subconsciously grabbed Qi Yuan’s arm and flung him behind…

　　Qi Yuan sighed and almost fell apart.

　　At the same time, golden light shone around General Dongmu’s body. Half of his armor was revealed outside his Daoist robe. He did not have time to grab his Dharma treasure with his left hand. He immediately struck out with his palm! The Heavenly Courts’ General Dongmu was fighting! A green whirlwind erupted from his palm. The whirlwind produced a green light curtain. General Dongmu’s beard and hair danced in the wind, and his eyes were filled with dignity.

　　However, there was no time to activate the light curtain. The suspended white light suddenly exploded. Beams of light shone through the world, illuminating a radius of fifty kilometers!

　　The paper effigy that Li Changshou had transformed into a bird was still injured by the white light even though he was some distance away. He felt that his vision was blank and the power of his essence soul was almost dispersed.

　　He subconsciously made the paper effigy retreat. Two streams of his attention had already landed on the paper effigy in his master’s sleeve!

　　He had to save his master first!

　　In a battle of such a level, his master would be injured and die if he was touched. Even a mouthful of immortal Qi could melt his master…

　　Hence, two streams of light flew out of Qi Yuan’s sleeve amid the rapid white light. The two Golden Immortal paper effigies turned into two middle-aged Heavenly Generals!

　　Paper Effigy No.1 grabbed Qi Yuan’s shoulder. The surging immortal power wrapped around Qi Yuan. He took out a familiar beast skin pouch and was about to retreat… Paper Effigy No. 2 rushed towards General Dongmu. His immortal power condensed into a rope and swung it forward. He wanted to pull General Dongmu out from the place with the densest white light.

　　Li Changshou’s reaction was extremely fast, but the interval between the eruptions of white light was too short!

　　It was so short that Li Changshou could not use his best escape technique.

　　The other party had schemed against him unintentionally. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the calamity, but Li Changshou’s premonition of danger had no effect this time.

　　Paper Effigy No.1 could not take his master away yet. The fingertips of Paper Effigy No.2’s left hand had yet to touch General Dongmu’s elegant gray hair… The white light that filled the sky disappeared in an instant. The universe within a 50-kilometer radius spun and Yin and Yang shifted positions. It turned from extreme brightness to extreme darkness!

　　His immortal senses were suppressed to a radius of hundreds of feet around him, as if he had been imprisoned in a dark dungeon.

　　That was not all…

　　At the moment that the light and darkness changed rapidly, Li Changshou could vaguely see a silver-white shuttle floating in front of General Dongmu through the paper effigy a little distance away. There was a wave of water on it…

　　The water ripples drifted far away.

　　Without a sound, the Heavenly Soldiers collapsed, and their essence souls scattered. They fell down like dumplings and did not have any aura left…

　　Poison.

　　Li Changshou was a professional Poison-Repelling Qi Refinement cultivator. How could he not recognize the water ripples?

　　The person who had attacked was definitely an expert in using poison. The shuttle-shaped numinous treasure was also rather powerful. From a sneak attack to releasing poison, it did not give the ordinary Golden Immortal expert, General Dongmu, any chance to escape!

　　Of course, he could not blame General Dongmu for that. Li Changshou did not have much of a response. He only sent a voice transmission to “offend” his master and knocked him unconscious. Then, he took out a beast hide numinous treasure pouch and placed Qi Yuan in it before putting it into his sleeve.

　　General Dongmu grunted. His eyes trembled, and his body shone with black light…

　　The protective immortal light did not last for a moment. It was defeated by the water ripples.

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless. “General Dongmu!”

　　Paper Effigy No. 2 shouted and hurriedly grabbed General Dongmu’s arm.

　　However, with a sizzling sound, the paper effigy’s palm was corroded by the black light, revealing a white paper surface. The wound seemed to have been burnt.

　　Li Changshou took out a few antidotes that every Golden Immortal realm paper effigy would be equipped with. He stuffed them into the mouth of General Dongmu, who was already starting to lose consciousness, to help him resist the invasion of the poison…

　　From General Dongmu’s cultivation level, he could tell that the nominal second-in-command of the Heavenly Courts was really busy with the matters of the Heavenly Courts.

　　At the same time, he observed the pitch-black

　　through the eyes of Paper Effigy No. 3 outside.

　　The Heavenly Soldiers that had been killed by the poison just now floated in the air after falling more than 100 feet. Clearly, they had encountered an obstacle… With the help of the antidote pill, General Dongmu barely managed to pull himself together and panted heavily.

　　Apart from being burned, Li Changshou’s two paper effigies were not affected by the poison. At that moment, their eyes were widened…

　　“Heh, paper effigies?” An indiscernible and cold voice sounded from outside the darkness.

　　“I never expected the Water God to have an incarnation here. I’m really surprised today.”

　　Water God?

　　General Dongmu was a little stunned as he looked at the two middle-aged Heavenly Generals beside him.

　　Li Changshou nodded slowly and lowered his head to look at the two paper effigies’ palms that had already festered.

　　That was the greatest disadvantage of being a paper effigy. After his protective immortal power was broken, his life was as thin as paper. According to the paper effigy’s performance, Li Changshou could also tell that the poison used by the other party was not targeted at the essence soul… His master had already been safely and roughly protected. The two Heavenly Generals that were transformed from paper effigies stood on each side of General Dongmu, preparing for the next attack.

　　There were hundreds of dangers lurking around. The other party had yet to appear and had instead given them a huge pressure.

　　In order to stall for time, Li Changshou also took out a small trump card. The two paper effigies’ auras were connected, and their expressions were identical.

　　The other party clearly hesitated.

　　The two Golden Cores in his body trembled slightly. Li Changshou and the two paper effigies took the initiative to release their pressure. Their expressions were extremely calm.

　　He had to stall for time.

　　Just as the other party was about to attack, Li Changshou’s main body had already dragged everything and rushed over with the Pagoda Master and the Cosmic Ruler, who had yet to return.

　　The place where he was ambushed was at the edge of the East Continent. It was not too far from the Immortal Du Sect. With Li Changshou’s escape technique, he only needed two Golden Immortal realm paper effigies to stall for a while…

　　Roar!

　　Suddenly, they heard an earth-shattering tiger roar. The world around them trembled slightly. There was a huge object rapidly approaching from above Li Changshou and General Dongmu’s heads and feet!

　　It looked like a huge tiger’s mouth.

　　No matter how dangerous the surroundings were, he could not sit still and wait for death!

　　Li Changshou’s two paper effigies shone with golden light. His immortal power seemed to be surging in front of him…

　　In the darkness, a slender figure flashed past and immediately retreated. Clearly, he did not want to take Li Changshou’s attack head-on!

　　In the blink of an eye, Li Changshou shouted in a low voice and turned around to attack. At the same time, he grabbed the seriously injured General Dongmu from both sides. His figure turned into a ball of golden light and randomly chose a direction to shoot towards…

　　If I don’t escape now, when will I?!

　　However, Li Changshou had just escaped hundreds of feet when he felt that the universe in front of him had been sealed. The golden light was blocked for an instant.

　　At that critical moment, Li Changshou did not have any numinous treasures and could not rush out. He wanted to activate the Cosmic Escape technique again, but before he could activate the Dao runes, the two huge shadows closed and enveloped them.

　　The universe was completely sealed. The connection between Li Changshou and the two paper effigies was almost completely severed!

　　Li Changshou could see from afar through Paper Effigy No. 3.

　　A three-headed white tiger with wings that were thousands of feet long swallowed his two paper effigies, General Dongmu, and his master in the bag!

　　A boundless and tyrannical pressure spread out from the three-headed white tiger with the wings. This white tiger was like the king of this world. The tiger head on the right raised its head and let out a tiger roar that was murderous for thousands of kilometers.

　　He had really entered the tiger’s den.

　　At this moment!

　　Whoosh…

　　The silver-white light appeared again.

　　The paper effigy that Li Changshou followed behind his master was only equivalent to the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm.

　　At that moment, Li Changshou did not have the delusion of successfully escaping when the paper effigy faced the silver shuttle. Instead, he took advantage of the moment when the silver shuttle attacked and used his escape technique to retreat with all his might to fight for himself…

　　It was time to say something.

　　“If you hurt the two of them, I will destroy your nine generations!”

　　With a soft thud, the paper effigy was pierced through by the silver shuttle. It had nothing to do with Li Changshou’s mind.

　　“Master.”

　　On the ground, Li Changshou’s main body was like a ball of quicksand that was moving quickly.

　　Li Changshou’s mind and the two Golden Immortal realm paper effigies still maintained a weak connection at that moment. He could hear the painful snort of General Dongmu after the toxicity acted up. He could sense the slight movement of his master in the bag…

　　At that moment, they were in the northwest, and the distance was shrinking. However, the cultivation level of the winged and three-headed white tiger was rather high. At that moment, Li Changshou could not catch up to it even if he flew at full speed.

　　The Cosmic Ruler in his hand emitted explosive sounds. He used the Earth Escape and the Cosmic Escape technique alternately and chased frantically on the ground.

　　Wisps of blue light bloomed in his eyes…

　　The demon race was going to deal with General Dongmu today!

　　There must be a traitor in the Heavenly Courts who had exposed General Dongmu’s whereabouts.

　　At that moment, the great tribulation had arrived. The deduction method had failed. If not for the traitor reporting the news… However, the Heavenly Courts were huge. A Heavenly Soldier could do that.

　　At that moment, Li Changshou understood where the fate of today’s matter originated from. Just like the rumors that appeared in the Heavenly Courts a few years ago, the demons treated the breakthrough point of the Heavenly Courts as General Dongmu…

　　General Dongmu was a second-rank legitimate god and was known as the leader of the male immortals. When he was standing in that position, he was treated as the second-in-command of the Heavenly Courts.

　　If the demons forced General Dongmu to submit, the Heavenly Courts would be in a dilemma.

　　Regardless of whether he disregarded the fact that General Dongmu was going all out and agreed to the demons’ conditions, he would still express the demons’ feelings.

　　If General Dongmu was used as a bargaining chip, the dignity of the Heavenly Courts would disappear. Even if the Heavenly Courts did not send troops, they would still send troops…

　　However, it was clearly useless to deploy troops from the Heavenly Courts. Not to mention that most of the Heavenly Courts’ troops were only at the Perfected Immortal realm. Against such a great demon, the other party had tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. There was no time to mobilize the troops from the Heavenly Courts and the Dragon Palace!

　　He had to save his master and General Dongmu in the shortest time possible!

　　Seek help from others?

　　The first thing that Li Changshou thought of was the Great Daoist Master. However, the Great Daoist Master was not in the five continents!

　　Zhao Gongming, Fairy Yun Xiao…

　　The calamity was right above their heads. Should he really let them barge into the calamity and be tainted by the karma that they might be able to avoid? If he could chase after them, he would be able to save his master and General Dongmu.

　　He unleashed his escape technique!

　　Li Changshou’s body shone with a blue glow. Immortal power surged out wildly, and earth meridians were thrown behind him… Demons!

　　Lu Ya!

　　The Western Sect!

　　Calm down. I have to stay calm.

　　The matter of his master being involved with General Dongmu was purely an accident. The other party would use General Dongmu as a bargaining chip and would definitely not kill him directly.

　　Similarly, his master was temporarily safe.

　　Li Changshou resisted the urge to curse and raised his hand to slap himself. He forced himself to calm down and kept thinking about ways to save her.

　　Although he was anxious, he did not forget to disguise himself and simply transformed into the usual Little Daoist Master.

　　In the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou’s paper effigy knelt in front of the portrait of the Saint. However, there was no reaction from the portrait of the Saint…

　　Does the Saint mean that General Dongmu wants to enter the tribulation like that?

　　Li Changshou would not forget that General Dongmu was destined to face a death tribulation. Otherwise, how could there be a Pure Yang Sword Immortal, Lu Dongbin, in the future?

　　However, the Tribulation of General Dongmu had collided with the Great God-Conferment Tribulation and even dragged his master into

　　His master was just a Turbid Immortal who had relied on immortal peaches to reach the Perfected Immortal realm. His true strength was horrible!

　　It would be good enough if he enjoyed the rest of his lifespan. Why did he have to bear the burden that a Turbid Immortal could not bear…

　　Even if the mighty figures of the demon race who attacked today blew at him, his master would not even die!

　　Because of that, it was extremely difficult to rescue them.

　　On the Black Pool Peak, Bai Ze, who had received the voice transmission, immediately used his mystical ability. He turned into a ball of black light and rushed out of the Black Pool Peak’s array formation and the Immortal Du Sect’s mountain-protecting array formation. He chased after the direction Li Changshou had given him…

　　Bai Ze’s escape technique was rather limited. Although it was more beautiful when it flew with its main body, it was mostly just good-looking. Its speed was barely satisfactory.

　　On the other side, Li Changshou rushed out of the ground for an unknown distance…

　　His heart suddenly trembled. He had already rushed to the front of his two paper effigies underground!

　　Li Changshou’s eyes focused. His figure rushed out from the ground. The Cosmic Ruler in his hand flickered and disappeared from the ground with a whoosh. He rushed into the thick fog that filled the sky…

　　This is…

　　Miasma in the North Continent!

　　Along the way, he had unknowingly reached the interior of the North Continent.

　　What made Li Changshou’s heart sink was…

　　Previously, when he used the escape technique with all his might, his immortal senses could not extend too far.

　　At that moment, his immortal senses spread out and he actually sensed more than ten pressures lingering in the clouds. They were far, near, and thousands of kilometers away.

　　It was obvious that he had bumped into the nest of a mighty figure of the demon race.

　　However, he could not hesitate at that moment. The lives of General Dongmu and his master were in the mouth of the demonic tiger. Li Changshou’s figure flashed quickly and headed towards the thick, grayish-green clouds in front of him.

　　There was an urgent howl and a loud explosion!

　　The universe trembled and the clouds collapsed! At first, there was a cold snort. Then, a strong light erupted and turned into a pitch-black cage. The tiger’s roar shook the sky. The clouds that had exploded were swept into the sky by the violent wind!

　　In the blink of an eye, two figures fought at an extremely fast speed beside the huge three-headed, two-winged demon tiger, leaving behind afterimages…

　　The left side of the head of the demonic tiger was tensed up and shot out ice-blue flames that filled the sky. Golden light shot out from their eyes, but they could not catch up to Li Changshou’s flickering figure.
