Chapter 1608: The Decisive Battle of Daxia City

The demonic sounds emitted by the Green-Faced Leader and the Red-Faced Leader disrupted the formation of the Sky Dragon Array, and this scene was also taken in by Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, and Li Li Qingying, whose expressions immediately turned solemn; without the augmentation of the Sky Dragon Array, their side was essentially missing a One-Crown King-tier combatant of extraordinary strength.

This still had a certain impact on the current battle situation.

Fortunately, however, the Four Evil Kings were missing one, and the three of them could also contain three Evil Kings.

But in this case, if they wanted to easily tear through the Other-kind defensive line and enter the depths of Daxia City to destroy that skeletal head, it would no longer be as simple as they had previously imagined.

"Dean Pang, you just focus on dealing with the three Evil Kings; leave the rest to us."

At this moment, Li Luo's clear, bright voice rang out; his expression remained composed, showing no panic because the Sky Dragon Array had been disrupted. After all, within Daxia City at present, aside from the three Evil Kings, no traces of other Other-kind Kings had been detected for the time being, so with his and Jiang Qing'e's strength, there was still no one who could stop them.

As his words fell, six Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms had already shot skyward above Li Luo's head, with surging phase force of different attributes swirling within them, each clearly distinct yet able to merge in tacit harmony.

At the same time, a purple-gold battle armor appeared over Li Luo's body; he held a spear in one hand and a golden hammer in the other, with a golden mirror on his chest and an ancient horn at his waist.

The Five Treasures of the Sky Dragon augmented his body.

A startling momentum swept out from within Li Luo's body, and the oppressive pressure caused even top-tier Nine-Pin Marquis experts like Li Li Qingpeng and Li Li Jiluo to feel their eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

The current Li Luo, at the Unparalleled Upper Six-Pin realm, wielding the Five Treasures of the Sky Dragon—even without the augmentation of the Sky Dragon Array—possessed combat power sufficient to rival a Pseudo-King-tier powerhouse.

At the same time, Jiang Qing'e beside him also summoned six sacred Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms; light-attribute phase force howled through the heavens and earth, dispersing much of the cold, malevolent aura permeating the area. With a clench of her jade hand, the Sacred Phoenix Umbrella appeared in her grasp, and a clear, resonant phoenix cry rang out from it, shaking the cosmos.

The oppressive pressure she radiated was in no way inferior to Li Luo's.

As the young couple stepped forward side by side, their momentum instantly suppressed and greatly weakened the surging, restless fluctuations of countless Other-kinds within Daxia City. Meanwhile, the Eldest Princess, Yu Lang, Vice Dean Suxin, and many other powerful experts of Daxia's Southern Domain who saw this felt their morale surge greatly.

"Boom!"

And Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, and Li Li Qingying—three King-realm powerhouses—had already struck at this moment, using vast phase force to isolate heaven and earth, forming a void battlefield, and pulling the three Evil Kings into it to prevent them from slaughtering the various forces of the Southern Domain.

"Everyone, back then we fled Daxia City from here; today, it's our turn to fight our way back in!"

Li Luo slowly raised the Sky Dragon Dark-Yellow Spear in his hand, and his deep voice rang out beyond Daxia City, igniting soaring, boiling battle intent in the eyes of powerhouses from all sides.

The Eldest Princess's heart surged with emotion, her chest rising and falling; she had never imagined that in this life she would once again stand outside Daxia City, and she understood that all of this was because of Li Luo's return.

"Those two are the most outstanding students since the founding of our Sacred Mystic Star Academy." Vice Dean Suxin's eyes shone with pride and satisfaction. She felt deeply fortunate that, back when Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e faced their darkest hour, she had resisted the pressure exerted by other top forces in Daxia; instead, acting in the name of the Sacred Mystic Star Academy, she had granted them shelter, thereby preventing those forces coveting House Luolan Mansion from employing extreme and improper methods.

It was precisely because of her protection that Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e held profound gratitude and affection for the Sacred Mystic Star Academy. Vice Dean Suxin understood that this might well be the most successful decision of her life; after all, the potential of Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e was too terrifying. Barring any unforeseen disasters, becoming an Unparalleled Marquis was almost a certainty for them, and moreover... becoming an Unparalleled Marquis was not their endpoint, but merely their starting point.

Perhaps in the future, these two could achieve the rank of Heavenly King?

At that time, Sacred Mystic Star Academy would probably have to be upgraded to Ancient Mystic Star Academy.

And it would be the first Ancient Academy outside the Outer Shenzhou since the founding of the Academy Alliance.

While their hearts were surging, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e had already transformed into rainbow lights, streaking directly toward the interior of Daxia City, while their long howls exploded across the sky like thunder.

"Everyone, charge with me!"

Led by Li Li Qingpeng, Li Li Jiluo, and Niu Niu Biaobiao, numerous experts of the Li Li Tianwang lineage activated their Marquis Platforms, drawing in the energy of heaven and earth, and followed closely behind.

Behind them came the many powerhouses of Daxia's Southern Domain, along with the various divisions and armies.

Vast, mighty streams of light, in an unbroken, spectacular formation, launched their charge against Daxia City from every direction.

The curtain of this great Daxia decisive battle was officially raised.

Within Daxia City, thick malevolent aura churned like a flood, and countless grotesque, twisted Other-kind figures emerged from within, letting out innumerable shrill, piercing roars.

As if ten thousand demons had gathered.

Boom!

In the end, earth-shattering collisions erupted violently throughout Daxia City.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were like two of the sharpest arrows, piercing straight through the thick, tide-like black mist of malevolence with the most brutal, domineering posture; wherever they passed, countless True Demon Other-kinds were crushed and purified in an instant.

And the brilliance of the two was so intense that it naturally drew the interception of many Upper-Pin True Demons within Daxia City, among whom even Nine-Pin True Demons appeared!

But even Nine-Pin True Demons, before Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e—these two Unparalleled Upper Six-Pin wielding King-tier treasures—were like chickens and clay dogs; wherever the two passed, the Other-kind defensive line within Daxia City was continuously being destroyed.

However, the number of Other-kinds was simply too great; countless True Demons surged forward fearlessly, clearly intending to use this to wear down Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's phase force.

But Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e were not fighting alone; Li Li Qingpeng and Li Li Jiluo led the Marquis-tier experts of the Li Li Tianwang lineage to continuously relieve the pressure on the two.

The energy shocks reverberating through heaven and earth revealed just how fierce the great battle here was.

However, just as the various forces of the Southern Domain advanced with Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e as their spearhead, a large number of figures lay in ambush in the mountain region north of Daxia City, where many stood atop a peak, gazing upon the fierce battle raging within the city.

At the head of the group was none other than Gong Yuan, the Lord of Daxia's Northern Domain's Wang Ting, and beside him were Lord Zhu Xuan Chen, Zhu Zhu Qinghuo, Si Qing, and other Marquis-tier experts of the Northern Domain.

At this moment, Gong Yuan and the others were looking at the two most magnificent, terrifying streams of light within Daxia City with somewhat unsightly expressions; the oppressive pressure emanating from those two streams of light, even across such a great distance, was unsettling.

Especially Si Qing, the Lord of House House Jinque—although he had previously known from intelligence reports that Li Luo and Jiang Qing were both Unparalleled Six-Pin, only after witnessing it with his own eyes could he clearly feel that oppressive pressure.

Those two juniors from House Luolan Mansion back then had reached such a terrifying realm in just a few short years.

Si Qing clenched his five fingers tightly, feeling some regret in his heart, but at the same time a thick killing intent arose; he hoped both Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e would fall in Daxia City!

Since they were already enemies, it was better for them to die!

"My King, it's about time." Lord Zhu Xuan Chen said to Gong Yuan.

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to a dark forest below the mountain, where over a thousand figures stood in silence; their bodies appeared somewhat twisted, with seemingly eerie things wriggling beneath their skin, emitting a vicious, poisonous fluctuation.

These over a thousand individuals were arranged in a highly orderly fashion, each occupying a distinct position, clearly forming a strange and eerie formation.

Black iron chains pierced through the bodies of these over a thousand people, linking them together, while visible malevolent energy flowed along the blood-dripping chains, ultimately converging atop the mountain.

There stood a blood-red giant cannon, its surface covered in eerie patterns; as malevolent energy continuously surged up from the blood-dripping iron chains, a thick, extreme crimson light condensed within the cannon's barrel.

"My King, this is the 'Blood Demon Cannon' I brought from the Guiyi Hui. Once this cannon fires, it can incite the Other-kinds within range to become even more frenzied. We shall take this opportunity to fire it into Daxia City; when the Other-kinds' strength surges, it will cause heavy casualties among the various forces of the Southern Domain, and also slow down the steps of Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e in destroying the Summoning Platform." Lord Zhu Xuan Chen said with a smile.

Gong Yuan was silent for several breaths, finally a ruthless glint flashed across his eyes, and he said: "Do it!"

He had already boarded the Guiyi Hui's ship; there was no getting off.

As Gong Yuan's order was passed down, the over a thousand people connected to the "Blood Demon Cannon" immediately let out agonized roars; their bodies, eroded by the malevolent power, grew increasingly twisted, while their own flesh and blood dissolved, beginning to provide energy for the Blood Demon Cannon.

Inside the muzzle of the Blood Demon Cannon, the crimson light grew increasingly dense, as if a demon's roar was about to erupt.

However, just as the crimson light within the muzzle grew more and more vigorous, shadows suddenly began to silently wriggle in the forest; the next instant, sword blades spewing forth powerful qi thrust violently from the shadows, piercing directly into the throats of those human-puppet flesh batteries supplying energy to the "Blood Demon Cannon."

Then the sword blades swept across, and twisted, agonized heads flew into the air one after another.

The large-scale slaughter of the carefully crafted human-puppet flesh batteries immediately caused the Blood Demon Cannon's strange formation to fall into chaos, and the crimson light condensing within the cannon's muzzle began to dim.

The sudden turn of events caused the faces of Gong Yuan and Lord Zhu Xuan Chen and the others to change drastically.

Gong Yuan grabbed with a great hand, surging phase force swept out, transforming into a giant hand that snatched out the figure hidden in the shadows in one grab. His gaze swept over and he immediately saw an emblem on the other's black robe, and at once said in a sinister voice: "Lanling Prefecture? You dare ruin this king's plans?!"

The troops that had suddenly ambushed them were unmistakably from that Lanling Prefecture!

Gong Yuan's palm suddenly clenched, tremendous force surging, crushing that one Lanling Prefecture assassin into a pulp of flesh and blood.

"Find them all for me, kill them all!" Following Gong Yuan's grim command, the Northern Domain powerhouses in this area hurriedly struck out, scouring the shadows in the forest, continuously hunting down and killing those Lanling Prefecture assassins who had secretly infiltrated.

These rats in the shadows were best at concealment, but Lanling Prefecture clearly only took money to do things—why would they dare to oppose their Northern Domain this time? That old thing, the Marquis of Lanling, doesn't want to live anymore?

Boom!

But at the same time, around this mountain region, a signal suddenly shot up into the sky, transforming into an extremely conspicuous firework on the horizon, visible for a thousand li.

Gong Yuan and Lord Zhu Xuan Chen saw this, and their eyes immediately turned irritated and gloomy.

Because with the eruption of this signal, they saw that outside Great Xia City, a large contingent of Northern Domain powerhouses who had been lying in wait immediately turned direction and surged toward this mountain region.

"Fire!"

Lord Zhu Xuan Chen formed hand seals, a blood seal shot out, landing on the Blood Demon Cannon and fully activating it. The next moment, the great cannon roared, a foul-smelling blood light pierced across the sky, shooting directly into Great Xia City.

Within the range of the blood light, countless strange beings immediately let out piercing shrieks, and the aura of evil intent swelled along with it.

"What a pity, the Blood Demon Cannon was interfered with and failed to exert its maximum effect." Lord Zhu Xuan Chen saw this and sighed inwardly. Originally, this raid would surely have caused great trouble for the various tribes of the Southern Domain, but the result was that because of the Lanling Prefecture assassins' ambush, the effect was greatly diminished.

Lord Zhu Xuan Chen gazed at the two grand figures within Great Xia City advancing with irresistible force, his eyes shadowed and sinister.

Although the Blood Demon Cannon plan was affected, fortunately, they still had other contingencies.

"Shen Shen Jinxiao, it's up to you all..."
