“Five crabs, please be careful,” Li Xianyu said.
“A little troublesome.” Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked around as her expression changed slightly.
Sure enough, there are five crabs, but why was there only one just now? Was it because the speed of the car was too fast, hence the crabs didn’t react in time? Li Xianyu thought to himself.
No more nonsense was spoken. Everyone had chemistry. Great-Grandma and Thunderbolt Battle Lady jumped up at the same time. The former kicked the big pincers with her flying feet, and broke the two pincers of the crabs. She didn’t care to dodge, and fought them head-on.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady didn’t have the toughness of Great-Grandma. She flashed to the top of the first crab on the left at extreme speed. With a strong push, the huge body of the crab sank. It had to stop the attack and use two pincers to push against the ground and support themselves. The second crab on the left was defeated by Cui Hua synchronously.
Li Xianyu stood up in the copilot’s seat and welcomed the crab in front of him. As both of them were about to collide, the seat under his feet cracked and he was ejected like a cannonball.
“Strengthen!”
“Metal Mountain Lean!”
In an instant, a cannonball with powerful airs of qi collided with the belly of the crab. The hard shell covering the tummy of the crab cracked, and it tilted back and fell to the ground. Its sharp mouthpiece opened and closed, making a hissing sound of anger.
Taking this opportunity, the Ferrari navigated smoothly from the back of the crab. From the beginning to the end, it did not slow down. The whole process took less than three seconds.
Li Xianyu’s right arm drooped for a moment; his self-healing ability could repair muscle injuries and cracked bones in a few seconds.
In just these few seconds, the Ferrari had sped away. Speed wasn’t Li Xianyu’s forte, so he couldn’t catch up.
“Give me your hand!” Great-Grandma rushed over and shouted.
Li Xianyu hurriedly raised his hand. His wrist was held by his great-grandmother. She twisted her waist and threw him out like a discus.
Only Great-Grandma’s powers could do that. Thunderbolt Battle Lady couldn’t throw him that far and with such speed.
As the sky whirled, Li Xianyu soared like a cloud. The wind roared in his ear, and his whole body ached. Ordinary demon descendants would not be able to stand the force of Great-Grandma’s throw, and their bones would disintegrate.
In a flash, he caught up with the Ferrari, but the explosive force of the throw gradually weakened. Li Xianyu took off his gloves and shouted, “Slime!”
His black-coloured left hand turned into a tentacle, grabbed the body of the Ferrari, then retracted and took Li Xianyu back to his seat.
At the same time, Great-Grandma and the two others returned.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady grabbed a handful of beef jerky and shoved it into her mouth in the face of the strong wind. High protein foods could accelerate physical recovery.
The Ferrari continued to gallop. Li Xianyu and his harem had been attacked by numerous crabs. At first, they patiently counted. Subsequently, there were too many, so they got lazy.
The fog was getting thicker, and the field of vision was decreasing. Cui Hua’s puffed cheeks split open the thick fog, getting swollen from the non-stop puffing. Frequent use of her powers made her state weakened.
Cats had poor stamina. After an unknown period of time, Cui Hua blew open the dense fog again, and a bronze door suddenly appeared in front of it. It was towering into the clouds.
When it appeared in everyone’s view, the Ferrari was less than 30 meters away.
San Wu slammed on the brakes. The Ferrari’s four wheels suddenly halted from a state of high revolutions. The tires rubbed against the ground with a piercing sound, and smoke was rising.
The huge inertia made it hit the bronze door head-on. The whole car disintegrated on the spot and even the steering wheel crashed out.
A fragile structure was the common fault of all sports cars. When the impact force was a little larger, it would immediately disintegrate.
The airbags popped up. San Wu and Cui Hua slammed against the airbags at the same time. However, the impact was too big, and the airbags cracked.
San Wu was okay and suffering a bloodied forehead. There was a profuse stream of blood, accompanied by a slight vertigo. Cui Hua was even more miserable. Due to her sitting posture, she acted as Li Xianyu’s meat cushion. She used the back of her head to break the airbag, and smashed the car underneath as well. She suddenly lost consciousness. After a few seconds, she recovered and started to cry non-stop.
Great-Grandma and Thunderbolt Battle Lady were even worse off. They were standing at the back of the car. After the collision, they flew out because of inertia and crashed against the bronze door.
Great-Grandma had an iron head. She was all right. At most, her hair was messed up. Thunderbolt Battle Lady slid down the bronze door feebly, curled up on the wreckage of the broken car.
Li Xianyu dragged Cui Hua’s body, hugged her and jumped out of the car together. Panicked, he rushed over to the long-legged beauty, shouting, “Are you alright?! Are you alright?!”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady didn’t answer as she laid motionlessly on the ground.
“Get up, I’ll lend you some money.”
“How much?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady came back to life.
“Fifty cents.” Li Xianyu rolled his eyes.
Although the traffic accident was tragic, they were not ordinary people. The impact was akin to ordinary people falling down on an electric-powered scooter. There was pain, but no injury sustained.
“It’s another huge gate. How big is the main part of the Great Deities Palace?” Li Xianyu looked up at the bronze door, which was nearly 100 meters high.
The bronze door had a very strange pattern carved onto it, like flowers and clouds. In the position of the gate ring, there was a huge bird carved in. It showed its wings as it flew high.
The eye of the bird was a circle formed by eight irregular grooves.
“Eh? Do you think that groove is very similar to the key that our company has?” Li Xianyu pointed to one of the grooves.
“It’s not similar, it’s identical,” Thunderbolt Battle Lady replied.
“It means that there are eight keys to the Great Deities Palace...” Li Xianyu frowned. “If there is only one key, how can we open the door?”
There were three keys to the Great Deities Palace. Everyone probably thought that there were only three. Now, there were actually eight keys. Where were the other five keys?
“It should be able to open. Otherwise, your father and the Demonic Priest could not enter the Great Deities Palace,” Thunderbolt Battle Lady said.
Great-Grandma went to the door, reached out and stroked the cold bronze gate with a complex look.
“This is the Great Deities Palace...” she murmured.
In order to find the Great Deities Palace, the Qing government expended endless manpower and material resources. Unfortunately, the Great Deities Palace did not open at all. Even if the whole world was searched, it would not be connected to the dimension space of the Great Deities Palace.
It was because the Great Deities Palace wasn’t found that the Unparalleled War Spirit was born! All these were the choices of fate.
Why were there eight keys? Since there were so many keys, why could just one key open the door? This was totally unreasonable. Li Xianyu was in deep thought.
At this time, he suddenly noted that the grooves were independent, and they were put together into a circle, replacing the eye of the big bird. The grooves were independent, which meant that the key with irregular shape was not a whole.
When he saw the key of the Great Deities Palace, he thought it was a fragment of the key. After all, it was like a part of a broken iron ring.
The eight grooves formed a circle, but they are independent of each other. Does this mean that the eight keys are independent? Li Xianyu thought.
“What’s on your mind?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady nudged him. “Quickly, report to Ape God and the rest quickly. Speaking of which, how long have we travelled?”
Battle Lady, don’t rely on me for everything. You also have a mobile phone...
Since Battle Lady joined his team, she was more and more reluctant to use her brain, and had a strong dependence. She usually ordered Li Xianyu to do the things.
First, he took out his cell phone and looked at it, and found that the signal was only one bar strong. It was a long way from the entrance. The signal was a little weak.
He returned to the Ferrari. Fortunately, although the car was destroyed, the odometer hadn’t exploded yet.
“Sixty two kilometers...” Li Xianyu sighed. He remembered the odometer reading before departure.
It was right that Thunderbolt Battle Lady chose to return. If she ran to the end of such a long trail, she would be exhausted and become the food of the crabs.
He dialed Thunderlord’s phone. Just after the call went through, Thunderlord’s slightly excited voice came. “You reached the end?”
Li Xianyu replied, “Yes.”
As he finished, Thunderlord said with excitement, “What’s beyond the door?”
“A bronze door, higher and larger than the stone door when we came in.”
“Bronze door... I’m afraid the Great Deities Palace is behind that gate.”
Li Xianyu acknowledged and replied, “There is a very strange occurrence. There are eight key holes in the bronze door, which means that eight keys are needed in order to open the door. However, reconciling the events of my father and Demonic Priest, one key seems to be able to open the door?”
Li Xianyu didn’t get the answer from Thunderlord because he had not entered the Great Deities Palace before. He was not clear.
“If only Aoki Yui was here, she would be more clear. Anyway, how could I have not noticed the people of the Aoki family...” Li Xianyu suddenly remembered that during the “fishing operation” that night when he left Lianghua Temple, the people of the Aoki family also appeared.
“The Aoki family should be with Li Peiyun. Why don’t they find Baoze? They took such a big risk by teaming up with Li Peiyun.”
There must have been a reason for this. To cooperate with Baoze, one only needed to buy a ticket. Instead, they had teamed up with Li Peiyun. In addition to dealing with Li Peiyun’s character, the Aoki family had lost a lot of elites in the “fishing operation” that night, which was not worth at all.
