Chapter 771: You All Come at Once

Sun Hongyun and the others all sensed it, looking toward the direction from which the darkness was encroaching.

In the night sky, a streak of light lit up, coming from another direction, like a meteor streaking across, landing on the ground in an instant.

"Layman, you have come."

The halo of light dispersed, the streak of light forming a white-clothed man, middle-aged, looking exceptionally carefree and uninhibited.

Sun Hongyun looked at the man: "That side is……"

"A powerful War Spirit is approaching." The white-clothed middle-aged man who seemed like an immortal among men spoke, his nose twitching twice, "What fragrant wine, little Yunzi, why didn't you notify me earlier?"

"……"

Sun Hongyun's mouth opened and closed, he said helplessly, "This isn't any good wine."

The one before his eyes was his last War Spirit.

Yes, in this Heavenly Spirit War, Sun Hongyun had summoned a total of four War Spirits.

Guan Yu, Qin Qiong, Gongshu Ban, and the Li Bai before his eyes!

The Poet, Wine, Sword Immortal Li Taibai, Sun Hongyun's strongest trump card.

"No matter, no matter." Li Bai laughed, "Under heaven there is no wine that I, Li Bai, cannot drink."

Speaking, he walked toward the feigning-death Shutendoji.

"Give me some?" Li Bai arrived before Shutendoji and asked.

Shutendoji slowly climbed up, a ferocious smile appearing on his handsome face: "Good!"

He extended his hand, an exquisite wine cup appearing on his palm, colorless transparent wine slowly surfacing within the cup.

"Please!"

The wine overflowed the cup, Shutendoji passed it over.

He was a great demon, the very strong kind!

Yet he had been repeatedly ground down by a group of people; if he hadn't been poisoned at the start and lost the initiative, been injured too severely, would he, Shutendoji, have fallen to this state?

Now there was actually someone asking him, Shutendoji, for wine to drink?

Not afraid of drinking until his intestines perforated and belly rotted?

Li Bai received the wine cup, drained it in one gulp: "Another." Heroic spirit boundless.

Shutendoji poured wine again, Li Bai drank again.

Six cups in a row, only then did the wine worms quiet slightly, Li Bai raised his head and exhaled, a white arrow rushing straight into the clouds, only fading slowly after a long while.

Drunken red appeared on his face, Li Bai praised: "Good wine, another."

Shutendoji's mouth opened and closed, he nearly vomited blood.

"Good!" He gritted his teeth, poured Li Bai another cup.

This time, Li Bai carefully savored it, sipping a few small mouthfuls before draining it in one gulp, a satisfied expression appearing on his face: "Another!"

"……" Shutendoji's hand-raising-to-pour-wine movements were even trembling slightly.

This was no ordinary wine, every cup consumed Shutendoji's power.

The more fragrant the wine, the more intoxicating, the more poisonous.

"Do you want a cup?" The seventh cup, Li Bai did not drink directly, but raised his cup toward Tang Luo, who was petting a cat nearby, from afar.

Tang Luo shook his head, he did not like the thing in the cup.

"A pity." Li Bai drank the seventh cup of wine, tossed the wine cup in his hand, staggered back a few steps, and lay directly on the ground.

Drunken state obvious, in no more than a few seconds snoring sounded.

Drunkenly lying on the battlefield.

Over there Sun Hongyun smiled bitterly, the Poet Wine Sword Immortal Li Taibai was the strongest among his War Spirits.

How strong? He, Guan, the two Generals Qin, and Gongshu Ban joining forces, using all means, were still not Li Bai's match.

Even Li Bai lightly and effortlessly defeated all of them.

With such a strong War Spirit, why didn't he come out at the start, to finish the battle in one go?

Of course not for a reason like "you can't play the jokers right at the start in a card game," but because Sun Hongyun simply could not command this carefree and uninhibited Poet Wine Sword Immortal.

How could I bow and scrape to serve the powerful and noble, making me unable to show a happy face.

Laughing to the sky I stride out the door, how could we of my generation be mere common weeds.

Therefore, this powerful Poet Wine Sword Immortal could only be used as the final trump card.

Only when the need arose would Li Bai appear, fulfilling his War Spirit duties.

Now Li Bai had drunk seven cups of the enemy's poison wine in a row and fallen drunk on the spot, Sun Hongyun also had no way, not even words of dissuasion were proper to say.

Poet Wine Sword Immortal, inevitably there is poetry, there is wine, and there is sword.

How could one stop Li Bai from drinking? Even if Sun Hongyun had the heart to stop him, he could only use a Spirit Curse Order, how could a Spirit Curse Order possibly be wasted on such a place?

Shutendoji's face was a sheet of pale, feeling he had been thoroughly wrung dry, truly not a drop left.

Good thing the other party fell asleep on the spot after drinking; if he asked for another cup, it could wring to death even his, Shutendoji's, tenacious life force.

Even more infuriating was, his Shutendoji's poison wine had no effect!

The other party was truly drunk, simply asleep.

"……"

Shutendoji turned his head to look toward the direction of the darkness encroachment, Lord, please come quickly, this little demon cannot endure it.

"Alright."

On the other side, Di Hu Qin Wushuang stood up, said two minutes, actually one minute thirty seconds.

Thirty seconds faster than said.

Sun Hongyun turned his head to look at Qin Wushuang, frowning.

Qin Wushuang's injuries had completely vanished, and his weakened aura had also recovered to its peak state.

But this was far from enough!

Without a doubt, Li Bai had come for the Sovereign about to appear; that Lu Bu would have to be opposed by the rest of them.

One more Qin Wushuang would probably only buy them another five seconds or so.

We waited a minute and a half just to trade for five seconds?

"Where's your Battle Spirit? It's already this late and it still hasn't come out?" Sun Hongyun was getting anxious.

He had come in his true body, unlike the decoy just now; if he died, he died for real.

"When necessary, it will naturally appear..." Qin Wushuang turned his head.

Sun Hongyun and the others all turned their heads as well. The place they looked toward, true darkness invaded and attacked, seemingly turning into the deepest depths of the ocean.

In the darkness, a human figure slowly emerged.

He floated in mid-air, about one meter above the ground, hands clasped behind his back, white hair fluttering without wind.

This was a considerably handsome man, tall in stature, bare-chested, wearing white trousers.

There were still large patches of silver-white patterns on his chest.

Unlike the darkness he brought along the way, this person surprisingly didn't have much dark aura on him.

On the contrary, he was extremely peaceful, like a calm sea surface.

Li Bai's snoring stopped; he shook his head and stood up, looking at the newcomer.

"Sovereign!"

Shutendoji's voice carried a sobbing tone; he had finally seen his kin.

The white-haired man looked at Shutendoji: "Trash." His voice was cold as ice, exuding boundless tyranny.

He raised his hand, his index finger flicking slightly.

Silver-white ripples burst forth from his fingertip, spreading and attacking Shutendoji.

Shutendoji was greatly shocked; he never expected that the Sovereign he had awaited so eagerly would, upon arrival, make his first act killing him.

The silver-white halo ripples appeared slow, but in reality arrived before Shutendoji in an instant, leaving him utterly unable to escape.

Just at this moment, Li Bai let out a light shout and spat out a strand of sword qi.

The two collided; the halo ripples and sword qi simultaneously shattered and vanished.

"Seven cups of wine, saving you one life." Li Bai said to the stunned Shutendoji.

"Not bad." The white-haired man didn't get angry, instead looking at Li Bai, "What's your name?"

"Li Bai." Li Bai said with a smile, not minding the white-haired man's arrogant attitude in the slightest.

"And you?" The white-haired man turned toward Tang Luo.

"Lu Bu." Tang Luo insisted on using a false name.

"Good." The white-haired man said, "You are qualified to know this seat's name — Orochi."

"Yamata no Orochi?" Li Bai was a little curious, truly curious.

Orochi didn't answer, raising his head, crossing his hands before him; he was going to clear the field.

Not just any random nobody is qualified to stand before him.

"Retreat!"

Sun Hongyun and the others reacted quickly.

Unfortunately, Orochi's field-clearing ultimate was even faster; in an instant, blinding light enveloped the entire field.

Turning this area into a pure white land.

Sunshine everywhere!

The pure white receded, everything returned to its original appearance; Orochi looked at Li Bai: "Meddling."

Li Bai smiled: "I couldn't just let the Spirit Lord die like that, could I?"

The moment Orochi acted, Li Bai also acted simultaneously; a stream of light flew from his wide sleeve, protecting and carrying away Sun Hongyun and the others.

Letting them escape Orochi's "field clearing."

Those who died in the pure white land were Shutendoji, the immobile Lincoln and Washington.

Valentine and the rest, because they stood together with Sun Hongyun, were also conveniently saved by Li Bai and sent far away.

On the top floor of a distant high-rise, were Sun Hongyun, Valentine, Qin Wushuang, as well as Nobel and Gongshu Ban.

"Many thanks." Valentine said to Sun Hongyun.

"I didn't intend to save you." Sun Hongyun spoke the truth.

It was Li Bai's convenient action, nothing to do with him.

"..." Over there Qin Wushuang said not a word, directly going to the building's edge and leaping down.

Landing on a protruding part outside the building, Qin Wushuang descended over a dozen floors as a man should, rushing toward the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Tang Luo patted Xiaotianquan's head, set her down, and stood up.

Over there Zhuge Liang carried the unconscious Guan-Qin combined general and retreated; they had been saved by Tang Luo and also understood this battle was no longer something they could interfere in.

As for Hirata Mi.

Orochi beckoned, grabbed her and threw her far away; as a Spirit Lord, she still couldn't die.

"Let this seat see your strength." Clearing complete, Orochi's gaze swept over Tang Luo and Li Bai.

"You stole my line." Tang Luo said with a smile.

Orochi didn't speak, curled a finger and flicked; silver-white ripples spread, attacking both Tang Luo and Li Bai.

Li Bai once more exhaled like an arrow, shattering the ripples before him.

Tang Luo's figure moved, directly smashing through the ripples to appear before Orochi, reaching out to grab his head.

The palm in front of his eyes kept enlarging, the giant snake did not dodge or evade, his right hand clenched into a fist, his elbow bent at a ninety-degree angle, and he threw a punch at Tang Luo's abdomen.

A black halo enveloped the fist.

"Boom!"

Struck later but arrived first, the fist heavily hit Tang Luo's abdomen, a violent wind burst from between the two, flying sand and rocks.

But the giant snake's face slightly changed.

The palm before him had already pressed against his face, surging power rotating his body.

His punch had completely failed to take effect.

The giant snake's head was held by Tang Luo, then violently jerked, his whole body uncontrollably flying toward Li Bai.

"..."

Li Bai's mouth slightly opened, his figure swiftly rose, dodging the giant snake's "human weapon."

The giant snake tumbled several times in midair before stopping, returning to his original posture.

"Come at me together." Tang Luo said to Li Bai and the giant snake, Xuan Bianhua Spear, raising his hand to thrust.

Spear shadows filled the sky, cold light suddenly descended!

Thousand Hands Cannot Block·Spear Curtain!

The giant snake spread both hands, drawing circles, leaving countless overlapping afterimages of arms, either clenched fists or palms, facing the Thousand Hands Cannot Block.

Before Li Bai, the flying sword rotated around its hilt as center, forming a circle.

The spear shadows fell upon it, all shattered.

Before the spear shadows fully vanished, a fist pierced through the layers of spear shadows, suddenly appearing before the giant snake's eyes.

The giant snake's expression tightened, he threw a punch!

Big and small fists collided!

Bone cracking and shattering sounds like thunder, the giant snake's left arm instantly pulverized.

Without waiting for his counterattack, Tang Luo kicked out with his right foot, heavily striking the giant snake's chin.

The giant snake's head was harder than his arm, his body pulled by the head, his whole body flying toward the high sky.

At high speed, his body rubbed against the air, turning into a ball of scorching fire, soaring into the sky as a small dot.

I don't know if high altitude counts as within the "Battle City" range.

However, for such a level of heroic spirit, even if temporarily leaving the Battle City range, there would be no major impact.

Better to come back soon.

"Clang!"

The bell's sound, Xuan Bianhua Sword, blocked the flying sword attacking from behind, Tang Luo turned his head and smiled at Li Bai.

His smile made Li Bai instantly turn into a blade of light, instantly leaving the spot.

In the original position, a trace of blood remained.
