Chapter 1379

The faceless Underworld King's cold, sinister laughter echoed through heaven and earth, drawing the faces of Qin Baiyan, Li Qingpeng, and the others present to change drastically, for they could sense from him a terrifying aura that inspired fear.

For a moment, everyone fled in panic.

The faceless Underworld King's blank, eerie face slowly turned and then locked onto Li Luo, and a laugh rang out: "Kid, you are my target—how could I let you escape?"

Being stared down by such an existence as the faceless Underworld King, a double crown king, Li Luo instantly felt a chill fill his heart, yet his face showed no trace of fear, only his palm slowly tightening around his sword hilt.

Since he came for me, it is likely because he suspects I am a primal seed.

Jiang Qinge beside him also sharply sensed this; she was about to speak when Li Luo gave her a stern glance.

This was the first time Jiang Qinge had seen Li Luo show her such an expression, and it made her heart well up with a sour bitterness—not resentment, but because she understood Li Luo's thoughts.

He wanted to use himself as bait to draw these malicious gazes away from her.

Jiang Qinge's slender fingers clenched tightly; she knew Li Luo wished to protect her, but now the two of them, heart and mind united, were already inseparable—if anything happened to Li Luo here, she could not possibly survive on her own, no matter if she had to blow herself up with her radiant heart, she would live and die with him.

Jiang Qinge did not wish to survive alone while carrying a heart of vengeance.

"Protect Little Luo!"

At this moment, Li Qingpeng, Li Jinpan, Niu Biaobiao, and the others, hearing that the faceless Underworld King was actually coming for Li Luo, shouted sternly in unison; in the next instant, towering marquise platforms rose into the sky, and without hesitation they bombarded the faceless Underworld King.

Though facing a double crown king, their hearts were full of fear, yet for the sake of protecting Li Luo, they still launched their attack without hesitation.

Qin Baiyan and the others, however, hesitated, afraid to act, afraid to lightly offend the king's might.

【15> They held a侥幸心态, thinking that if the faceless Underworld King only targeted Li Luo, perhaps his goal would be achieved and he would then retreat.

They clung to a hopeful mindset, thinking that if the Faceless Underworld King was only targeting Li Luo, perhaps once their goal was achieved, he would withdraw.

Facing the offensive launched by Li Qingpeng and the other strongmen of the Li Tianwang lineage, the faceless Underworld King merely smiled faintly, and then on his blank face a bloodstain like a mouth tore open.

Amid the flowing blood, a chilling gray-white qi sprayed out.

The gray-white qi swept over, and wherever it passed, those marquise platforms that had burst forth with surging xiangli were as if frozen, stagnating one after another in the sky.

No matter how desperately Li Qingpeng and the others tried to drive them forward, they could not move them even a fraction.

"Ants trying to shake a tree—knowing neither life nor death."

The faceless Underworld King laughed, and then on his blank face, sheets of face-skin like white paper began to peel off, the white paper flowing with an icy chill to the extreme, faintly writhing as if hiding countless distorted visages and features.

With a flash of the white face-skin, it directly penetrated the layers of xiangli defenses surrounding Li Qingpeng and the others, covering their faces.

Then everyone watched in horror as Li Qingpeng and the others, though straining desperately, saw the features on their faces gradually disappear, one by one.

No matter how they resisted, it was to no avail.

These top marquise powerhouses who held mighty renown in the Outer Shenzhou were, before this faceless Underworld King, as weak as helpless children who could offer no resistance.

"Uncle, Second Uncle!"

"Uncle Niu!"

Seeing this, Li Luo could not help but feel his eye sockets about to split.

Boom!

But just then, a sudden burst of terrifying energy undulation came from the void, and a vast shadow that blotted out the sky descended.

Countless people looked up, and then were shocked to see a gigantic golden dragon claw descending from the heavens, like a great city, directly enveloping the faceless Underworld King.

Myriad strands of golden light intertwined, like a prison, suppressing the faceless Underworld King within.

The extremely sharp golden light howled, tearing the faceless Underworld King's blank face into ferocious bloodstains.

Though suddenly suppressed, the faceless Underworld King could not help but let out a piercing laugh, saying: "Hehe, Li Shocking Hibernation, you really have great mettle—self-amputating a palm just to come suppress me?"

"It seems you really dote on this grandson, don't you!"

Hearing his words, everyone finally saw that the golden dragon claw descending from the heavens was actually a broken claw, and at the break, golden blood was still flowing.

Li Luo's heart pounded violently; his eyes reddened as he gazed into the distant void, where, in the reflection of heaven and earth's energy, Li Shocking Hibernation appeared as a towering figure—his left palm empty, fresh blood splashing, dyeing the horizon red.

Clearly, to overcome the obstruction of the "gray-clad figure," Li Shocking Hibernation had taken an extremely extreme measure to suppress this faceless Underworld King.

"Grandfather!"

At this moment, Li Luo hated his own weakness intensely; if he had already forged seven marquise platforms and become a true Marquise Without Equal, then at least he would have the qualification to fight shoulder to shoulder with Li Shocking Hibernation, rather than now, only able to hide behind and help nothing.

"Li Shocking Hibernation, even if you temporarily suppress me now, what can you do? You could not even withstand the fetal person, yet you dare to self-amputate a palm, damaging your own strength."

"With your broken palm, how can you fight the fetal person?"

"Hehe, never mind—I'll just wait a bit, wait for you to be slain by the fetal person, then how will you stop me?" The faceless Underworld King issued a chuckle from within the golden dragon claw.

Meanwhile, Li Qingpeng and the others, because the faceless Underworld King was temporarily suppressed, saw the features on their faces gradually return; they hurriedly retreated, but their expressions looked somewhat despondent.

For they all understood how desperate the situation was at this moment.

Li Shocking Hibernation must contend with the unfathomably powerful fetal person while also dividing his attention to suppress the faceless Underworld King—no matter how you look at it, this is a hopeless situation.

And while everyone worried, in the void above.

The gray-clad fetal person smiled as he watched Li Shocking Hibernation's severed hand continuously dripping blood; that blood, containing vast power, fell directly onto the earth of the Jiehe region, forming great lakes, with fragrant qi flowing through them, and in a short moment, countless strange flowers and wondrous grasses sprouted.

Every drop of blood from a king-level powerhouse is a rare treasure hard to find in the world.

"Li Shocking Hibernation, at this very moment, you are still distracted, even wanting to self-amputate a palm to protect these ants—you are driving yourself onto a dead end."

The gray-clad fetal person sighed, then said solemnly: "You have completely lost your chance to leave."

Li Shocking Hibernation's severed hand flowed with golden light, locking in his essence blood; his aged face remained calm as he said: "Do you think I, from the very beginning, ever considered leaving alone and preserving myself?"

The gray-clad fetal person said: "Since you have made the mental preparation to fall in this Jiehe region, then I can only fulfill you."

Li Shocking Hibernation slightly shook his head, his voice calm and light, then like thunder it rang out, echoing through every corner of the Jiehe region.

"You have said one thing wrong."

"I, Li Shocking Hibernation, will fall in this Jiehe region today, but what falls will not be only me."

"Do not underestimate an old fool who wants to protect the children in his home..."

"Resolutely."

At this moment, in the Jiehe region, countless gazes stared in shock as they saw the towering figure standing in the void, its head crowned with three layers symbolizing worldly supremacy, suddenly, at this moment, igniting into roaring flames.

Endless firelight, as if piercing through this heaven and earth, shone upon the heavens between.

With the firelight rising, there was also a calm, aged voice echoing between heaven and earth.

"Dragon Tooth Pulse Pulse First, Li Jingzhe."

"Please, sir..."

"Die with me!" "s: Brothers, continue the live stream tomorrow morning, knocking the wooden fish, double update, those who are free can come knock."
