Chapter 196 125, A way to pass the customs that makes one cry and laugh_2
Before they could ponder whether there was any trap involved, the second column of lightning had already coalesced and struck down in an instant.
Just as Tian Liuli was about to make a move, she suddenly recalled something and abruptly stopped her hand.
Normally, if it were Lin Qingque, she would definitely have given this opportunity to show off to him, and then afterwards, heap praise upon him.
On the other side, Xu Yuan did not think much and had already met the challenge with his Thunderfire Sword.
The Thunder Dragon roared out, colliding fiercely with the column of lightning.
With a bang, bright white light filled the entire space.
But before Xu Yuan could catch his breath, the lake below him suddenly churned violently, gushing up and striking against his back.
Caught off guard, Xu Yuan had no time to react.
His whole body was hurled into the air by the impact.
At the same time, in the Cloud Dome above, a flash of light startled into being, rapidly forming into a long spear that shot straight down, so fast that by the time Xu Yuan noticed it, it had already reached his eyes.
Just as he was about to be pierced by the Thunder Spear, Tian Liuli's figure flickered, vanishing on the spot and teleporting in front of him.
She raised her jade hand, gently grasped, and had already tightly held the long spear carrying the violent power of Thunderfire.
At this moment, Tian Liuli had an icy expression, no longer bearing the casual demeanor from before.
"Shatter."
With a soft chant from her and without much movement, the entire Thunder Spear cracked from the tip, scattering arcs of electricity all around,
"Liuli..."
Xu Yuan displayed a bitter smile, about to speak.
However, Tian Liuli shook her head first and immediately after, brought her two fingers together, coldly gazing down at the surface of the water.
At this moment, five big characters surfaced — "Only the virtuous may occupy this place."
"Only the virtuous may occupy this place?"
Tian Liuli let out a cold laugh, rage rising in her eyes.
"Liuli, don't be rash."
Xu Yuan observed her seemingly genuine expression and felt a strong sense of puzzlement rise within him.
The surprise attack by the treacherous water had indeed startled him, but to say he was unable to react was an outright lie.
He was just gambling, betting on whether Tian Liuli would take action at that moment and reveal her intentions.
If she had the intent to attack and imprison him, that would have been the best opportunity.
Yet, he didn't wait for her assault, but instead, he was met with her seemingly genuine fury.
'Did she see through me? Or what is she really trying to do?'
Xu Yuan furrowed his brows, watching her graceful figure and fell deep into thought.
Honestly, had she really made a move just now, he wouldn't feel as troubled and worried as he was at the moment.
"..."
Xu Yuan didn't quite know what to say at this point.
"Watch carefully, Mr. Xu, just a mere inheritance, I'll dismantle it for you to vent your anger."
Tian Liuli seemed to have no intention of stopping, raising her palm before forcefully pressing it down.
Rumbling.
The land that was once lush and green almost instantly let out a mournful cracking sound, then shattered into pieces.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it,"
Tian Liuli said coldly: "If you pour a cup of water into a hollow, a mustard seed can serve as a boat; place a cup there, and it will stick, I am no small boat, but a great boat."
Hearing these words, Xu Yuan glanced faintly at her chest.
In terms of size, it was indeed large, but being large didn't necessarily represent a broad-mindedness.
"Forget it, Liuli, let's go."
Xu Yuan saw that she seemed prepared to literally dig three feet into the ground and couldn't help feeling a bit of a headache, not because he was worried about any restrictions—for with Tian Liuli's strength, she likely didn't need to worry about that at all.
But what was buried here was, after all, Jing Lixue's ancestor...
Wait, she personally killed her father, so, does this matter to her?
Before Xu Yuan could fully grasp this point,
The entire land began to wrinkle up, revealing a bronze coffin from the very bottom.
Hum!
Just as Tian Liuli was thinking about continuing, atop the bronze coffin, two streams of spiritual light, like horses with burning tails, surged forth and hastily landed on them both.
Xu Yuan could feel from that mark, the essence of appeasement and pleading.
He couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and helplessness.
Unexpectedly, Tian Liuli's seemingly reckless method turned out to work effectively.
Moreover, the strangest thing was that he saw the clouds in the sky, which had already dispersed, actually regrouped, as if to ingratiate themselves, they presented four words—Pose of the Great Emperor!
"Liuli, let it be, it's begging for mercy, let's just forgive it."
Xu Yuan, seeing the unfinished look on Tian Liuli's face, quickly spoke up.
He could feel that the Tian Liuli from before seemed to have returned, but... there was a subtle difference.
After glancing below for a moment, Tian Liuli nodded coldly.
However, just when he thought that's how things would end, Tian Liuli suddenly grabbed his hand, silently staring at him.
"Don't you think you ought to give me a reward?"
In her eyes, seemingly as cold as ever, there was a hint of indescribable shyness.
