Chapter 249: Fengdu City

"This venerable one thought there weren't many experts in this tiny, remote place, but I didn't expect one to actually pop out. It suits this seat's heart; I haven't eaten the flesh and blood of such an expert before."

This behemoth from the Sunset Organization, a fierce and malevolent demon general, swung and flicked the great halberd in his hand. His heavy armor was permeated with black Qi, wreathed in resentment and baleful aura, while a boundless, fierce phantom vaguely emerged behind him as he looked toward Lie Dangkong, who had already arrived at this place.

"Where do you come from? Was it you who performed the Blood Sacrifice here?"

Seeing such a hell on earth, Lie Dangkong's expression immediately turned gloomy, dark clouds gathering as if they could drip water at any moment. His Divine Sense perceived that there were no living people left here.

"Enough nonsense, let's fight first!"

The demon general laughed loudly, his halberd swings carrying boundless fierce might, causing the Yin Qi of the region to surge abruptly and reshape the environment, actually forming a baleful Ghost Domain similar to a Gu Zhanchang.

Red Demon Envoy felt a slight shock in his heart upon seeing this.

Is this the true strength of someone responsible for a region?

"Stubborn and unyielding!"

Lie Dangkong's expression turned cold instantly.

His Dharma Aspect manifested behind him like a scorching sun rising into the sky, radiating brilliant light, causing the surrounding Weird Yin Qi to instantly melt away like snow. The demon general was startled at the sight; could this power be...

Suddenly, he burst into loud laughter.

"Searching high and low, only to find it without any effort. We didn't seek you out, yet you came to find us instead! You are courting death!" He brandished his baleful great halberd and attacked Lie Dangkong.

At the same time, he secretly sent a message to Red Demon Envoy.

"You idiot, hurry and contact the various lords; the target has supposedly appeared." The demon general's words echoed in Red Demon Envoy's ears, causing him to be shocked; was this the target the various lords came to this place for?

He hurriedly cast a Secret Technique to contact the others.

Suddenly, a warning sign arose in his mind.

Without the slightest hesitation, he used a movement technique to dodge.

He only saw that the place where he had just been standing had been smashed to pieces by a force striking from the sky. Looking up, there was a figure surrounded by thunder in the sky, watching him.

"What were you trying to do just now?"

Xuan Dao spoke indifferently.

Just now, because Lie Dangkong had flown too fast, he had pulled away from him, and only now had he arrived here. Then, on a whim, he used his Divine Sense to scan, only to discover this demon acting suspiciously.

He had even managed to dodge that strike of his; interesting.

"Wait, why does he look so familiar?"

Xuan Dao rubbed his chin, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Oh, right, the person in charge of the Sunset Organization in Beijun? How about that? In the past, I saw you acting quite arrogant, so why have you turned into someone hiding behind others to stir up trouble now?"

He said with a light laugh, making Red Demon Envoy's expression turn gloomy.

"Hmph, where did this ignorant junior come from? Your opponent is here!"

Suddenly, the great halberd swung down; wherever it passed, the Heaven and Earth Principles were shattered, forming a region of Original Qi vacuum and rule vacuum, with monstrous black Qi striking toward Xuan Dao.

Xuan Dao was startled and hurriedly dodged, looking at the demon general.

He clicked his tongue in secret.

This Dharma Aspect Realm demon is truly powerful; he can actually contend with Old Man Lie without falling into a disadvantage, and even spare the energy to deal with him?

To capture the bandits, first capture the king.

It seems he must deal with this demon general first.

Behind Xuan Dao, the Thunder Pool Dharma Form manifested, summoning Nine Heavens divine thunder to strike at the demon general entangled with Lie Dangkong, intending to lend Lie Dangkong a hand so the two of them could jointly slaughter this greatest of demons.

Red Demon Envoy breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly used his Secret Technique again.

But the next moment, another bolt of thunder struck toward him. He narrowly avoided this thunder, escaping a disaster of Life and Death, while at the same time, Xuan Dao's laughter rang in his ears.

"You demon, don't even think about pulling any tricks."

Red Demon Envoy's face turned ugly, and he cursed Xuan Dao in his heart.

A Dharma Aspect Realm expert paying so much attention to a Small Second Heaven?

Do you still want the face of a Dharma Aspect Realm expert!

The demon general also seemed to realize Red Demon Envoy's incompetence and was very annoyed. "Trash is trash, you can't even do this kind of thing!"

Red Demon Envoy's expression stiffened upon hearing this, and he cursed the demon general in his heart.

If you're so capable, you go contact them; why make me do it? Isn't it because you're afraid that if you get distracted, you'll be beaten to death by that old man? A Dharma Aspect Realm expert is targeting me; it's a miracle I'm not dead yet!

Consequently, he chose to slack off.

I'm not contacting anyone anymore; let whoever wants to contact them do it.

Anyway, I'm just a Small Second Heaven, my ability is only so much; if a Dharma Aspect expert stops me from using the contact Secret Technique, there's nothing I can do. Thus, he ran to the other side to watch the battle.

He even vaguely hoped that this demon general would be beaten to death by Lie Dangkong.

Seeing Red Demon Envoy doing nothing, the demon general was furious.

If this damned guy weren't considered a well-connected person in the organization, he would have already smashed this trash to death. He is here fighting for his life, and this guy runs to the side to watch the show?

"You two ganging up on me, shameless!"

The demon general's aura surged, kicking up boundless waves of air, temporarily pushing Lie Dangkong and Xuan Dao away, and he roared. He looked at his great halberd, which was already somewhat bent, with heartache, and spoke.

"If you have the ability, fight me one-on-one!"

Hearing this, Xuan Dao showed a look of pity.

This demon has great strength, but his brain is clearly not very good.

"Old man, there's no need to talk about martial arts morality when dealing with such Evil Demon scum; let's attack together. Besides, didn't he want a one-on-one? Good! The two of us will one-on-one him, that's fair enough, right?"

Xuan Dao laughed triumphantly and continued to attack the demon general.

Lie Dangkong followed closely behind.

Although he was old and couldn't say such shameless things as Xuan Dao, he still understood the principle of taking advantage of someone's illness to take their life.

At this moment, Xuan Dao felt refreshed in his heart.

Is this the Dharma Aspect Realm? It's too exhilarating; finally, I don't have to be suppressed and beaten by others, but instead, I'm the one suppressing and beating them. As expected, days without Brother Li are good days!

When Brother Li was around, one had to be suppressed by him in every aspect.

The Demon General's expression was ugly at this moment.

That young fellow was not worth worrying about.

But this old fellow, who was suspected to be their target, was incredibly strong. The great halberd forged from his Mie Mo Jin had even bent like this; if he kept fighting, wouldn't it be broken?

He even suspected that this old fellow hadn't used his full strength at all.

No, he couldn't keep dragging this out!

A flash of sinister intent crossed his eyes. His figure was like a small mountain, and as he thrust his great halberd into the earth, a pillar of monstrous aura surged into the sky, subsequently diffusing invisible ripples.

In another part of Beijun, a small city named Fengdu.

One woman and three men stepped into this place.

"Exalted One, we are not going to search for the target who has walked the Great Sun Path, so why have we come here?" A man with a 'one' carved on his face and a cold aura all over his body asked the bewitching woman in front of him respectfully, his eyes filled with confusion and incomprehension.

"Xiao Yi, I can understand your mood."

"But you must know, someone who can walk the Great Sun Path is definitely not simple, and may even be extremely powerful. Therefore, let other fellows find that target for now, and let them go to their deaths first."

"There is no need to risk your life when you don't know anything."

The bewitching woman replied calmly.

This...

The other three looked at each other in dismay upon hearing this, seemingly disagreeing with such words, but they did not speak up to refute. The education they received was to serve the organization; how could they possibly slack off like the bewitching woman's words suggested?

But this bewitching woman was their Exalted One.

Even the words about serving the organization in the past were taught to them by this bewitching woman. Yet now, this bewitching woman was saying the opposite of what she said back then?

Suddenly, they looked toward the sky.

They saw the pillar of sky-piercing aura that the Demon General had erupted.

"Exalted One, that is Xiao Si's aura. He has very likely encountered the target we are looking for, and his own situation is extremely difficult; otherwise, he would absolutely not erupt power to this extent."

That Xiao Yi said hurriedly.

The bewitching woman remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

"Let's go, don't worry about it, official business is more important."

She stepped into the city gate of Fengdu City, and her figure disappeared directly. The other three couldn't help but feel anxious when they saw this, and they hurriedly chased after her, their figures disappearing in an instant.

Wuhua County.

The Demon General was currently being suppressed and beaten by the two, Xuan Dao and Lie Dangkong, and he was secretly complaining in his heart. What was going on? He had clearly erupted his aura just now, and the Exalted One should have been able to sense it.

But why hadn't they arrived yet?

At this moment, he no longer had his previous arrogant momentum.

Because in a little while, he would really be beaten to death.

"Old Master Lie, this demon seems to be stalling for time."

Xuan Dao gradually noticed something wrong and sent a voice transmission to Lie Dangkong.

Lie Dangkong did not reply, still outputting power as before, neither decreasing nor increasing, seemingly cooperating with this Demon General to stall for time.

Finally, when the Demon General was about to be unable to hold on any longer.

The space here began to ripple.

The Demon General sensed the aura within and was overjoyed; reinforcements had finally arrived. Although it didn't seem to be the Exalted One he belonged to, as long as it was someone else from the organization, it was fine.

He was about to be beaten to death; he wasn't picky.

A ripple finally appeared on Lie Dangkong's face.

"They're here," he said faintly.

Xuan Dao didn't understand, so he hurriedly dodged the Demon General's halberd and shouted loudly, "Old Master, this guy can't hold on much longer, let's join forces to Town and kill him!"

The Thunder Pool Dharma Form behind him sublimated to the extreme, erupting with divine might.

But the next moment, the Dharma Aspect behind Lie Dangkong shook and threw a punch.

It directly blasted this Demon General to death on the spot.

Seeing this, Xuan Dao froze in place and immediately fell into deep thought.

Why did he feel like he was a bit of a clown?

"Hehe, interesting, to actually be able to kill him."

The laughter rippled through the space, and a foot broke through the Void.

An Exalted One from the Sunset Organization descended here.

"You say this is Heaven?"

In the ruins of the Cave Heaven, Li Heng asked in surprise.

"That's right, it is Heaven, the true Heaven. Heaven that has not been subjected to Pollution, and has not been twisted or mutated."

Xuantianji looked at the rosy light above and sighed slightly.

"I thought this part of Heaven would always hide, preserving the vitality of the Fire Seed, until there was truly an existence that could reverse everything and sweep away the Calamity. But I didn't expect that he would appear now."

Xuantianji's expression was somewhat complex.

He knew clearly what this meant.

Heaven might think very highly of Li Heng!

Therefore, he risked the danger of potentially being subjected to Pollution Mutation just to appear, all to see Li Heng once. In this way, what did that variable, that protagonist he had chosen, even count for?

Was this person the true protagonist?

Li Heng's vision became blurry, and ripples began to spread. He did not resist, and in the blink of an eye, the Heaven and Earth changed, and he arrived in a mysterious space filled with rosy light.

"Outsider, many thanks."
