Danzun War God

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Gathering of Dragons and Tigers

Han Qi immediately drew his sword and thrust it at the Nether Beast. A series of sword flashes instantly dazzled the eye. Suddenly, Han Qi's sword faltered, creating an opening. The Nether Beast lunged forward, and several sword-like streams of profound energy shot out from the air, aiming straight for Han Qi's neck.

Just as these bites were about to reach Han Qi's neck, Chen Wei's Berserker Axe also arrived in front of the Nether Beast. The Nether Beast had no choice but to turn its head to dodge, and at the same time, the threat to Han Qi disappeared.

The Nether Beast was clearly enraged by its missed attack, and it spewed flames from its mouth in preparation for another strike, but Qin Wuyang's Demon-Drinking Blade was already slashing at its neck.

With a loud crash, the Nether Beast tumbled to the ground. Qin Wuyang staggered back several steps and saw another Nether Beast in front of him, also at the seventh rank. Its appearance saved the Nether Beast from Qin Wuyang's blade, leaving it with only minor external injuries.

However, the last Nether Beast to charge out was pierced through the chest by Han Qi's divine weapon, striking its heart. Chen Wei lightly touched the ground with his toes, turned around, and slashed at the Nether Beast on the ground, ending the battle with a swift stroke of his blade.

"It ran right into your sword!" Qin Wuyang said jokingly.

"Jealousy!" Han Qi said aloud, but inwardly he was relieved that the Nether Beast had rushed to save its companion instead of attacking him. There was indeed an element of luck involved in killing it with a single sword strike.

"Look!" Chen Wei said, pointing to the palace in front of him.

Before them stood a tall gate, its two golden doors tightly shut. The doorframes were made of white jade, and above the high lintel hung several characters written in black on a blue background: "Dragon and Tiger Gathering."

"I never expected that what General Tianlang said about the Dragon Tiger Alliance actually exists. There should be the Divine Dragon Gate, Flying Tiger Hall, Qingfeng Cliff, and Mingyun Valley there," Han Qi murmured.

"What are you muttering about? Go inside and see what treasures you have." Qin Wuyang said as he walked towards the main entrance.

"Wait! Don't you think there was something strange about that Nether Beast just now?" Han said in a deep voice.

"What's so strange about that?" Qin Wuyang turned his head and said.

"Why is he just loitering around the door? Why doesn't he go in?" Han Qi said calmly.

"Why don't we just go in and see for ourselves? Why worry about so much?" Qin Wuyang was very curious about what was behind the door and hurriedly pushed the tightly closed door.

Qin Wuyang tried his best but couldn't budge the door. Then he spread his hands helplessly and said, "Even those two Nether Beasts can't open the door if they want to go in."

"Let me help you!" Chen Wei transformed and rushed forward.

Han Qi shook his head helplessly. Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it and then helped push the door open.

With the three of them working together, the door creaked open a crack, and the three filed in. What came into view was a large square, but the scene in the square shocked them.

The place was littered with corpses, some from the demon realm, some from the human realm, some from the monster realm, and some from the underworld. Some were mutilated, some had weapons stuck in their bodies, and some were huddled together, indicating that a fierce battle had once taken place here. Tens of thousands of people lay dead in this vast square. For some reason, they had not decomposed. The weapons in their hands and on their bodies still gleamed coldly, only lacking the life force they should have had.

The three stepped over the corpses and arrived at the end of the square, where a grand hall stood, with the three large characters "Council Hall" hanging high above it.

They did not enter the main hall, but went around it. Behind the main hall was another main hall, but the words "Dragon Hall" were written on the lintel.

Han Qi led the way and went straight in. At the deepest part of the main hall, there was a memorial tablet with the words "Azure Dragon" written on it. Han Qi immediately guessed that the Azure Dragon must also be one of the spirit beasts, and it was the guardian spirit beast of the Dragon Hall, that is, the human world. This is why there was an Azure Dragon memorial tablet in the alley.

Han Qi stared at the memorial tablet for a while, because he found that it was very special. It even revealed a trace of spiritual energy. You know, since he entered this formation, although the things he saw have maintained their original state, they have all lost their spirituality.

"What's wrong? Want this memorial tablet? Just take it." Qin Wuyang said with a smile, pointing at the tablet.

Han Qi smiled slightly, shook his head, and the group walked out.

After passing the Dragon Hall, there was another grand hall, no less imposing than the Dragon Hall. The lintel read "Tiger Hall." Han Qi went directly to the depths of the hall, wanting to know what kind of spirit beast was enshrined in the Tiger Hall.

However, there was nothing where the memorial tablet should have been placed. Han Qi was stunned. Could it have been deliberately taken away?

"This main hall is truly magnificent, even better than the Demon Lord's Palace in the Imperial City," Qin Wuyang exclaimed, admiring the hall's decor.

Han Qi walked out with a slight disappointment and arrived at the third hall, "Feng Hall". The hall was not much different from the previous halls, and the layout was basically the same, except that the ancestral tablets in the offering area were gone.

Han Qi didn't linger and ran straight to the fourth hall, the "Cloud Hall." He went directly to the place where the memorial tablets were enshrined. The tablets were still there, but now they had the words "Black Dragon" written on them. This Black Dragon tablet lacked the spiritual power of the Azure Dragon.

Seeing this, Han Qi thought that the yellow dragon and the red dragon he had encountered before must be the guardian spirit beasts of the demon realm and the demon world, but he wondered why their memorial tablets were no longer there.

After leaving the main halls, Han Qi planned to leave the Dragon-Tiger Gathering, since there was nothing particularly special about it. His purpose in coming here was to find Tang Siyu and the Water Spirit Orb; he hadn't really taken a liking to anything else.

"Brother, there's more stuff behind us." Chen Wei and Qin Wuyang had already run to the back of the "Yuntang" main hall and shouted to Han Qi.

Han Qi followed, and as soon as he turned the corner, he was startled. The spiritual energy here was incredibly dense. Upon closer inspection, there was nothing particularly special about it; it was just a large pool. However, Han Qi was certain that the spiritual energy was emanating from this pool.

Could the Spirit Pearl be here? Han Qi couldn't help but think to himself. He stood by the pool and found that the water was not deep, at most half a meter deep. The water was very clear, and he could see the bottom at a glance. However, the bottom was bare and there was nothing there. Han Qi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Just as Han Qi was about to give up and leave, the shape of the pool caught his eye. It turned out to be a formation, a spirit-gathering formation.

Han Qi was overjoyed. Spirit Gathering Arrays are generally used to gather spiritual energy, but they also have another little-known function: nurturing spirits, which means nurturing spirit pearls within the array. Therefore, based on his judgment of the array, Han Qi was more inclined to choose the latter.
