The monkey's roar filled every inch of the empty space, and the echo of the sound was completely absorbed by the Six-Eared Divine Power.

In just an instant, Wuzhiqi had already determined Jiang Li's exact location.

"Found you!"

He laughed loudly, the Jingu Bang swiftly enlarged, thrusting toward the mountains ahead, and with a thunderous sound, half of the mountains collapsed.

Massive rocks rolled down, the crumbling mountain slowly slid, revealing a figure bracing the other end of the Jingu Bang.

"Jiang Li!"

Wuzhiqi's eyes shone intensely, filled with both murderous intent toward his enemy and a further desire. His Fire Eyes Golden Eyes perceived Jiang Li's form, the Six Ears heard Jiang Li's voice, the malicious scrutiny caused Jiang Li's Qi Mechanism to react, and a silver armor appeared automatically, enveloping him.

"Ha!" Wuzhiqi sneered as he saw this.

"Armor covering your body, concealing your Qi Mechanism. Jiang Li, your injuries are truly severe."

Even though Jiang Li had timely donned his armor, the obvious change in Qi Mechanism did not escape Wuzhiqi's eyes.

Jiang Li was constantly leaking Qi Mechanism, like a punctured balloon, ceaselessly losing Qi Mechanism and Vitality. This loss was unmistakable.

Or rather, it could be faked, but no one would fake such a thing.

It's like an ordinary person bleeding themselves, entirely akin to chronic death.

Upon realizing this, Wuzhiqi had a grasp of the power of the Sun-shooting Bow. With Jiang Li's prowess and Cultivation Body comparable to the third grade, facing a weapon specifically countering solar attributes like the Sun-shooting Bow, it was difficult to withstand its capabilities.

It's fine if not struck, but once injured, even if the archer is only fourth-rank, they can still leave Jiang Li in a dire state.

"Wuzhiqi, you're digging your own grave," Jiang Li, holding the Jingu Bang, faced Wuzhiqi from afar, "Last time you escaped, but this time luck is not on your side."

His demeanor was composed, showing no signs of weakness, even his words carried a murderous tone, seemingly assured of defeating Wuzhiqi.

However, Jiang's acting skills have now gained global recognition; the encounters of King Shu and Zhang Zhixuan are the best testimony to Jiang Li's acting prowess. Recognizing Jiang Li's loss of Essence Qi and Vitality, Wuzhiqi was certain of his injuries, hence Jiang Li's words were...

"Not listening, not listening, tortoise reciting scriptures."

Compared to Jiang Li's words, Wuzhiqi evidently trusted his own judgment.

Thus...

Battle!

The Jingu Bang suddenly retracted, Wuzhiqi's form changed, growing to the size of a mountain, spewing out a torrent of water from his gaping mouth like dark clouds sweeping across the sky, stirring massive waves.

Though Wuzhiqi had additionally integrated the Dao Fruit of Sun Wukong, his foundation still lay in his adept Water Element Technique. He also fused the Tianwu Dao Fruit with his armor, to enhance defensive capabilities and aid his own Power.

At this moment, the overwhelming waves rolled down from the sky, covering everything, intending to drown Jiang Li along with the mountains.

"Petty tricks."

Jiang Li snorted lightly, Vigorous Primordial Qi emerged from his body, lifting him upwards, the Innate Eight Sceneries circling him, the roaring waves pounding down only to pass directly through Jiang Li's form.

No, it should be said that the Ren Gui Water Essence Qi was entirely absorbed by the "Hanhai Cangming" scenery among the Eight Sceneries.

Though Wuzhiqi's Water Element Technique was sophisticated and profound, as long as it couldn't escape the Eight Trigrams, it was difficult to harm Jiang Li's body. He didn't even need to use the True Sun Fire to counter this move.

The waves achieved nothing, instead causing Jiang Li's momentum to rise, the raging currents became increasingly fierce, a massive shadow emerged from the waves, roaring.

"Roar!"

It was a massive azure-black dragon, roaring and spewing out countless Gui Water Divine Thunders.

As the Affiliated Son-in-law of the Dragon Palace, Wuzhiqi naturally understood the strength of Dragon Palace's powers, possessing the 72 Transformations enabled him to morph into corresponding forms nearly indistinguishable from true Daoists. This azure-black dragon was likely the form of one of Dragon Palace's formidable powers.

Facing this dragon, Jiang Li's form likewise transformed, at the instant a storm of wind and thunder arose, a pair of massive wings unfolded in the sky, surrounding a golden Divine Dragon.

——Yinglong!

Jiang Li transformed into the true form of Yinglong, the wind and thunder sceneries within the Innate Eight Sceneries moved with his wings, fierce winds and thunder cracked, breaking the Gui Water Divine Thunders, while Yinglong soared through the heavens, the Divine Dragon's head visible but not the tail, swiftly appearing before the azure-black dragon.

It's transformation!

The azure-black True Dragon's eyes burned brightly, golden pupils reflected Yinglong's movements, Dragon Claws grasping rolling water essence, entwined within, tearing out vicious claw marks ahead.

"Boom!"

Claw against claw, in an instant, these claws collided with Yinglong's claws, their robust dragon arms each inflating, Dragon Scales rising, showcasing the limits of physical body and Power in their potent confrontation.

And the outcome—

The azure-black Dragon Scales shattered and flew, Wuzhiqi's Dragon Claws were tightly pinned, crushed by near-overwhelming force, beneath the flying scales, muscles nearly burst and blood vessels protruded.

The clash of strength was unfavorable to Wuzhiqi.

If not for his Vajra Unbreakable Body, it wouldn't be just Dragon Scales flying.

Wuzhiqi's pupils contracted harshly, transformation revived, the azure-black True Dragon abruptly turned into a wisp of bluish smoke, escaping Jiang Li's dragon claws, followed by surging waves of water, Tian Wu with eight heads and a tiger body suddenly appeared.

The raging torrents compressed the space, squeezing it into a solidity like iron, a great force struck, the "iron block" shattered, space fractured, cracks ripped open, covering Yinglong.
