Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 315: Different Plans
Outside the Suzaku Gate, inside the Zhuxian Formation.

Xiao Baoyin took a quick look and realized that Xiao Yan was going to take advantage of the situation and sent Xiao Wei and Xiao Hui to attack Zijin Mountain.

Naturally, all his previous calculations became a joke. The other party was just playing a cat with a mouse and was just playing with him.

This made Xiao Baoyin, who was conceited and resourceful, blush immediately.

"It's true that the higher the virtue, the higher the evil. But it doesn't matter. You were too arrogant to actually use yourself as bait." He looked at the increasingly dim merit wheel behind Xiao Yan's head and the increasingly faint lotus platform under his feet, and said gloatingly: "Besides, your merit is too pitiful, isn't it? It's only been a short while, and you can't hold on any longer."

"In one stick of incense at most, the ninth-grade lotus platform that you have condensed with your life's merits will be obliterated by the earth, water, fire and wind of the God-Slaying Formation. Even if Xiao Wei and Xiao Hui can destroy Tongtai Temple, you will still not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated in body and soul!"

"Indeed. No plan is perfect." Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Just like I didn't expect that Fu Shuyan would come as well."

"In compliance with your orders." Fu Shuyan said succinctly.

"Now you have only one option, which is to quickly become a god. As long as you become a god right now, we will immediately retreat." Xiao Baoyin was different. He had been waiting for this moment all his life. Every pore in his body was filled with excitement. He said to Xiao Yan in a high-pitched voice:
"I know you can do it. You have the divine fire that I took from my brother. If you eat it, you will become a god on the spot!"

"Oh, I forgot about the existence of the 'Ancestor Dragon Curse'. Human emperors cannot become gods. Once they become gods, their life span will not exceed two years." He shook his head exaggeratedly and said:
"But you should still eat it. After all, you can still live for another two years, right?"

At the most critical moment, Xiao Yan still maintained his imperial demeanor and said to Xiao Baoyin with a cold smile: "Your brother is a fool, and you are not much better than him. You want to trick me into fusing the divine fire with such a clumsy provocation?"

He sneered and said, "It is indeed easy for me to become a god, but under the influence of the 'Ancestor Dragon Curse', after becoming a god, I will suffer the pain of being burned by flames. The next two years will be a living hell until I am burned to death. Is this the scene you are looking forward to?"

"Then just wait for death." Seeing that Xiao Yan was not fooled, Xiao Baoyin snorted coldly and lost the interest in continuing to tease him.

"Who said I have to become a god to live?" Xiao Yan was interested and sneered, "Don't forget, I asked Xiao Hong to build the Altar of Heaven, and I also chose the location. Do you know why I chose it outside the Suzaku Gate, by the Qinhuai River?"

Xiao Baoyin's face changed, and he immediately realized: "Water and fire complement each other, dragon and tiger are in harmony, this is the key point of Jiankang City!"

"You do have some insights, but unfortunately you are still stupid. Without someone to guide you, you will never be able to think of anything. Let me show you how to break your God-Slaying Formation!" Xiao Yan sneered and shouted, "Open!"

As soon as the words fell, a dull roar sounded from the ground, and the water of the Qinhuai River actually rose upstream into the air, transforming into a water dragon with distinct horns, beard and hair spread out, and slammed into the God-Slaying Formation.

As the ground shook, countless cracks suddenly appeared on the ground of the Zhuxian Formation. A huge amount of earth energy gushed out, passing through the Taiji fish without any hindrance, entering the chaotic vortex, and continuously converging on Xiao Yan!
The earth veins are also called dragon veins. The energy of the earth veins is dragon energy, so of course it will gather towards the true dragon emperor.

Under the infusion of dragon energy, Xiao Yan's body continued to expand, the muscles in his arms expanded, and dragon scales grew on them. His five fingers became unusually long, and his nails emitted a sharp, dim light!

On his raised forehead, a pair of dragon horns slowly broke through the skin. His already unusually long mandible lengthened further, and several thick dragon whiskers grew. Even more bizarre was his eyes, which had completely turned into golden vertical pupils. Xiao Yan really turned into a dragon!

Xiao Baoyin turned pale under the huge pressure, and roared in shock: "You lunatic, you actually dared to break the dragon vein! Don't you know that it will hurt the foundation of Jinling's royal energy?"

"My kingdom, I can do whatever I want with it!" The giant dragon opened its mouth and let out a heart-shaking roar. "Five dynasties of kings are waiting for you, why don't you open it!" After saying that, he roared and stretched out his dragon claws, tearing up the chaotic vortex that was wrapped around him!

With the blessing of Jinling's royal aura, Xiao Yan's terrifyingly powerful divine power was no less than that of any true god, but his status was not up to par yet...

The pressure on the two demigods in the formation doubled. Fu Shuyan's vertical pupils emitted a dazzling golden light, and Xiao Baoyin's hair turned completely white in an instant! The two of them used all their strength and poured out all the power they had saved.

The Yin-Yang fish was spinning wildly, and the chaotic vortex that was about to collapse stabilized again... It was worthy of being the magic weapon left by the immortal Zuo.

Before the two demigods could even breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a flash of white light before their eyes, and a Liang army general wearing a white robe and holding a spear suddenly emerged from the ground and stood outside the formation.

"Chen Qingzhi, was it you who broke the dragon vein?!" Xiao Baoyin was furious and yelled at the white-robed general: "You are really a son who sells his father's land without any regret!"

The man who came was Chen Qingzhi, who was extremely handsome and even more handsome than Xiao Baoyin. He was still dressed in his usual white robe as a scholar, but the tip of the meteorite star-breaking spear in his hand had turned as black as ink, and the tip of the spear was slightly red, as if it was about to melt.

It was indeed him who, according to Xiao Yan's instructions, pierced the dragon vein and sent the dragon energy of Jinling to help Xiao Yan break the formation.

Chen Qingzhi adjusted his breathing instantly, then immediately thrust his spear towards Xiao Baoyin as a response.

"Chen Qingzhi, you are courting death!" Xiao Baoyin did not take him seriously. "This is not something a Nine-orifice person like you should get involved in! You can't even break my barrier..."

Before he finished his words, he saw the spear in Chen Qianzhi's hand breaking through his eighteen layers of barriers like breaking ice and jade, and the tip of the spear was still powerful as ever, piercing straight into his chest.

“Demigod? You actually became a demigod!” Xiao Baoyin hurriedly dodged in disbelief, and asked in disbelief: “Where did you get the divine fire?!”

The divine fire, an extremely rare and precious strategic resource, was rare in both the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

As the leader of the Minggui clan, and with Xiao Hong, a traitor who knows everything, Xiao Baoyin knows exactly how many divine fires there are in the Southern Dynasty and who has them.

There were two complete copies of the divine fire in the Southern Dynasty. One was with Xiao Yan, and the other was divided into two and given to Xiao Wei and Xiao Hui. Apart from that, there was no remaining one.

His mind raced as he suddenly understood. He turned to look at Xiao Yan in disbelief and said in a lost voice:
"I understand. You gave half of your God of War godhood to Chen Qingzhi. How could a selfish person like you be willing to do such a thing?"

"There are many things you don't understand." Xiao Yan sneered and didn't waste time talking to him. He joined forces with Chen Qing's internal and external forces to break the formation together.

Originally, with the blessing of Jinling's royal aura, Xiao Yan had torn the God-Slaying Formation to the point of collapse. Now there was a demigod helping outside. How could the chaotic vortex hold on?
Amidst the roars of dragons and tigers, there was a deafening bang, and the Yin-Yang fish finally collapsed completely, leaving not a single tile in the surrounding area within a mile.

The Qinhuai River in the Zhuque section has turned into a lake...
