As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 452: Chapter 178: The Celestial Fire God Cannon is Completed, Turning the Hunters into the Hunted [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_3

Blood Qi roared and shattered the raindrops.

Zhu Chaoyang’s eyes, like tangible blades, cut through the misty rain and stared directly at the raging river.

In the haze, it seemed as if he could see the shadow of a Jiao Long roaming and tumbling in the river!

“A Jiao Long emerges from the deep river… The grand upheaval of the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple seems about to begin.”

With brilliant light shining in his eyes, Zhu Chaoyang stood with his hands behind his back, watching the Jiao Long that stirred up countless rivers with a flick of its tail as it quickly swam away.

With one step, he moved from the roof of the carriage back inside.

Inside the carriage, a child around five years old, with hair tied up in a topknot and wearing a red bellyband, sat cross-legged with a Flame God Spear resting on his legs, as if he were sitting within flames.

His cheeks puffed out, with flames darting in and out of his nostrils as if devouring fire.

“Little Iron Brat, you’ve come all the way from the Divine Capital to Qianyuan Taoist City. The Governor’s Office has agreed to let you attend this Temple God Resonance Convention, you better not come back empty-handed. Otherwise… it will be the face of our Dao City Temple Administration Governor that you’ll be losing.”

Zhu Chaoyang leaned against the carriage wall, arms crossed, and watched the fire-eating child with an involuntary laugh.

The little kid opened his eyes, which held a rebellious light. He gave Zhu Chaoyang a glare.

Opening his mouth, he spat out a flame towards Zhu Chaoyang.

Zhu Chaoyang’s face darkened as he clenched his hand and put out the flame with a slap.

“Rascal!” he said, annoyed.

“Blah blah blah!” The child stuck out his tongue in a defiant and unruly manner.

“Don’t call me rascal, don’t call me Little Iron Brat!”

“I have a name!”

“My name is Tie Shancai!”

…

…

Qintian Observatory, within a solitary workshop.

Li Che gripped the Divine Weapon Blade with his fingers, patiently polishing the Fire God’s Furious Jiao Wood as sparks flew in all directions.

Six crimson cannon barrels were intertwined.

On each barrel, Li Che used his Blood Qi and Divinity to carve the Mechanism Seal “Dou” to enhance the firing mechanism for a greater release of the cannonball’s explosive power.

Besides the organ cannon, Li Che also placed three “Avalanche Ravens,” each significantly larger than the Spirit Wood Raven and connected in a chain.

Once the Fire God’s Furious Jiao Organ Cannon was activated and began to spin at high speed, it would rapidly load and fire the cannonballs from the chain.

In the span of one breath, it could make a hundred rotations, firing off hundreds of Avalanche Ravens!

The Fire God’s Furious Jiao Organ Cannon was essentially an enhanced version of the Immortal Artisan Gatling!

Both were designed as revolving cannons!

On the Avalanche Ravens, Li Che was carefully inscribing another Mechanism Seal, the “Bing” character.

Li Che couldn’t inscribe two different Mechanism Seals on the Fire God Organ Cannon at the same time; he had tried it before, and they tended to repel each other, reducing the effect.

Li Che had consulted Old Tang, who said that mastering the combination of Nine Organ Seals was an untransmitted secret technique of the Tang Clan’s Mechanism.

He was unable to solve this problem since being incorporated into the Imperial Court had broken the lineage.

The proper use and combination of the nine seals was the core mystery of the Tang Clan’s peerless mechanical beasts!

This had been a long-standing issue for him as well.

Hearing this, Li Che felt a sense of regret but didn’t dwell on it too much, thinking perhaps he might get a chance to learn more about it in the future.

Perhaps once he mastered the nine seals, he might have an epiphany?

Bare-chested and drenched in sweat, Li Che’s muscles stood out like roaring Jiao Longs, his formidable power surging out as he grasped the freshly polished, incredibly heavy Fire God’s Furious Jiao Organ Cannon.

It was heavy, his first impression.

But he could feel an extremely terrifying destructive power within the cannon.

Thanks to the improved propulsion and the Immortal Artisan Gatling’s enhanced burst capability, plus the fifty Divine Chess Pieces encapsulated in each Avalanche Raven cannonball…

Li Che felt…

That even a Great Grandmaster could be suppressed by its firepower.

As for the Divine Element True Person…

Li Che’s eyes sparked.

“Testing it out will be the only way to know.”

He gently caressed the Celestial Fire God’s Furious Jiao Organ Cannon, feeling the power and heat waves within.

The corners of Li Che’s mouth lifted slightly.

The next moment, with a thought, the “Fairy in the Painting” Dao Fruit trembled.

Then, the Immaculate Heart Drawing Paper floated out, beginning to continuously replicate the “Avalanche Ravens.”

After spending about seventy percent of his Divinity and Blood Qi, Li Che finally replicated a thousand “Avalanche Ravens.”

The consumption of Divinity and Blood Qi made Li Che let out a slight breath.

He took out a martial arts pill, crushed the Pill Coating, and greedily devoured its power to replenish his Blood Qi.

With his current Furnace Physique, ordinary Eight Extremes Martial Pills could only be used for restoring Blood Qi and no longer had any body-refining effect.

A dot fell on his forehead.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard expanded.

Li Che immediately located the Pavilion Master of the Hunting God Pavilion outside the Qintian Observatory, filled with a murderous intent so dense it almost turned into black water.

The dark, viscous murderous thoughts made Li Che’s eyes frosty and cold.

“So eager to kill me… and even went to the City Lord’s Mansion…”

Huang Xilong was watching Li Che.

But Li Che was also keeping an eye on him.

With the level 3 Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit activated, taking on the Northern Dipper Chess Saint form, he could look down from above and lock onto Huang Xilong’s every move.

He directly switched to Northern Dipper mode, effectively opening the heavenly eye.

So when Huang Xilong visited the City Lord’s Mansion, Li Che guessed his intentions.

He was likely planning to take on the assassination mission issued by the Young Prince again.

Since Huang Xilong wanted him dead…

Naturally, Li Che…
