Chapter 202: Sword Demon Li Yu

What is called a situation taking a sharp turn for the worse—this is clearly it.

He had anticipated from the start that figures like King Xi and the Haotian Bishop, once schemed against by him, would not simply settle down.

It was just unexpected that such a situation would arise after only half a month.

"If King Xi succeeds in swallowing that portion of the Haotian Bishop's will, he will become the sole power within this Domain of Weirdness."

"By then, he will certainly come to guard outside the hall, waiting to snatch the peach at the final moment and kill me while he's at it."

"The logic is sound; compared to me, who occupies the Gate of Life but is essentially a turtle in a jar, the two of them are truly wary of each other."

"That King Xi was able to pull together eighty percent of the Demon Star Token Holders to strike first, he likely paid a significant price."

"Given this old pervert's style, he probably treated the group of Demon Star Token Holders to a grand feast."

The "feast" in Li Yu's thoughts was, of course, not the literal kind.

It was benefits!

Naturally, not the kind of benefits King Xi fed Li Yu earlier, but true benefits without any cost or side effects.

"No!"

"I absolutely cannot let this old pervert, King Xi, succeed; I don't want to be camped."

At the thought of the ominous final outcome, Li Yu reached a decision in an instant.

The next moment, he suddenly transmitted his voice to Su Xing:

"Fellow Daoist Su Xing, please point me to a path so I can see to what extent the battle between King Xi and Zhang Tang has reached."

"I may have a way to resolve this worry."

As Li Yu transmitted his voice, he also turned his head to look at the dark, rotting, terrifying mountain of flesh deep within the hall.

Su Xing, being able to become a Chosen of the Earth Mother and having such rapid cultivation progress, was also an extremely intelligent person.

Seeing Li Yu's action, she understood in a second what he wanted to do.

Li Li Xuanji, accompanied by several crisp calls of a blue bird, she cast her spell.

Right at the entrance of the hall, a scene was projected by Su Xing:

In a place quite far from the Nest Capital, a battle that seemed to have reached its end was about to conclude.

It was a murky sea of Qi filled with various taboo objects, releasing supreme might; in the sea, a giant monster that was completely non-human, resembling writhing flesh and emitting an aura of infinite hunger, was about to drag down and submerge a sphere of light that resembled a "resplendent sun."

Inside the light sphere, the figure of Zhang Tang was clearly visible.

Although he was about to perish, he was unexpectedly calm.

This was also Zhang Tang's true face and temperament; everyone in the Qian Kingdom knew that Bishop Zhang Tang did not just disregard the lives of others, he did not care much for his own either.

He believed that dying and returning to the embrace of Haotian was a blessing.

So at this moment, he only said coldly:

"Zhao Xi!"

"You have gone too far on a path of no return."

"Now that your soul has completely departed from the human category and is akin to a 【Forbidden God's Offspring】, the more powerful you become, the more uncontrollable the Forbidden God's desire to devour you will be."

"Even if you seize the Imperial Seal and ascend to Sequence 3 【Tai Sui Immortal】, so what?"

"In the eyes of the Forbidden God, you will be an incredibly delicious piece of meat, and He may swallow you at any time."

These few sentences from Zhang Tang unexpectedly let Li Yu know some secrets, and the bubbles of truth continued to surge forward.

The next moment, King Xi also gave a response.

His voice remained as elegant, charming, and suave as ever.

"Bishop Zhang should worry about his own life first; half of your original will has been swallowed by me, and your sequence realm is bound to fall."

"Your true body in the Qian Kingdom will no longer be able to serve as a law enforcement officer."

"Especially since you failed to retrieve the 【Immortal Qin Imperial Seal】 for that dog emperor of the Qian Kingdom, you will be punished before long."

"This King may not necessarily die, but you are definitely dead."

King Xi's voice fell.

The Haotian Bishop called Zhang Tang immediately fell silent.

Looking at it this way, he had been hit on the mark.

After listening, Li Yu understood the cause and effect in his heart; both entered the Domain of Weirdness to snatch the Immortal Qin Imperial Seal, the difference being that King Xi did it for himself, while Zhang Tang did it for the current Emperor of the Qian Kingdom.

Whether King Xi could succeed was unknown, but Zhang Tang was certain to fail.

Coupled with the loss of half his will, he had indeed truly embarked on a path of no return.

"A Sequence 4 existence of the Haotian Church, because of one mistake, is about to perish?"

"Are high-sequence powerhouses also so precarious?"

Realizing something, Li Yu was full of disbelief.

He had originally thought that ascending to Sequence 4 should, to some extent, make one an overlord; if one did not participate in divine wars or high-intensity dangerous dungeons, one should be carefree and able to live for at least several hundred years.

Now it seems, that is not necessarily the case.

Su Xing also heard this conversation; seeing the doubt on Li Yu's face, she immediately transmitted her voice to explain:

"Although Senior Zhang Tang also serves as a bishop in the 【Haotian Church】, he is not close to the main headquarters of the Haotian Church; his primary identity is as a trusted aide to the current Emperor Wu of Qian."

"Coming to this Immortal Qin Domain of Weirdness this time was also under the dispatch of Emperor Wu."

"It is a pity that the senior did not expect so many changes here; even with his sequence realm and combat power, he actually suffered defeat."

"Emperor Wu is stubborn and self-opinionated, and in recent years his paranoia has been quite heavy; I imagine he will not accept Senior Zhang Tang's explanation, and with his realm falling, I fear he will be..."

Su Xing did not finish, but Li Yu understood in a second.

For the endings of people like Zhang Tang, there have been too many examples from ancient times to the present; no need to say more.

Li Yu nodded silently, then turned directly and walked toward the Lord of Immortal Qin, who was beaming with joy because the pain was gone.

That's right, he was going to use the power of the Lord of Immortal Qin to bully others again.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your two civil and military officials are having an internal feud and fighting; I ask Your Majesty to quickly intervene and stop them." "It is Zhao Nu and Qin Mu, let them fight; only when civil and military are at odds can my Immortal Qin court be stable. This is the art of kingship; Mr. Xu, you are a divine alchemist, it is normal that you do not understand these things."

Very readily, Li Yu was rejected.

Although he had already been amputated by Li Yu nearly ten times, the Lord of Immortal Qin still acted according to those absurd and strange temperament rules.

Li Yu also knew this was the foundation for the Domain of Weirdness to maintain stable operation for a thousand years, so he did not confront him stiffly, but followed up by saying:

"That is exactly so."

"However, General Qin Mu is currently at a disadvantage and is about to perish; if Your Majesty does not intervene, I fear Zhao the Thousand-Year-Old will become the sole power."

While speaking, Li Yu pointed directly at the scene projected by Su Xing.

"Hmm? It looks like they are fighting with real fire; this dog slave Zhao Nu, his ability is truly not small."

"Very well, let us save one."

Even at such a time, the Lord of Immortal Qin still put on the airs of an eternal overlord.

Of course, his intervention was also very effective.

The next moment, this tyrannical monarch suddenly rose from his throne.

Looking from afar at the place where King Xi and Zhang Tang were entangled in battle, under his crown, his expression was solemn.

From his mouth, the holy decree was uttered:

"Zhao Nu, Qin Mu."

"You two are important civil and military officials, yet you are brawling here in such an unseemly manner, losing all of my face."

"I now punish you both to suffer punishment for several days, as a warning to others."

Just as this holy decree of the Lord of Immortal Qin fell, the entire Domain of Weirdness trembled because of it.

The terrifying phenomenon that had once appeared and shrouded the Domain of Weirdness appeared once again.

A domain formed by the scarlet-as-blood Ominous Star, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, thousands of troops and horses... and other horrific scenes, descended upon that place.

Within the domain, the current true body of the Lord of Immortal Qin appeared.

A dark, rotting, and terrifying mountain of flesh, guarded by others.

Although compared to before, this "Evil God Shell" of His had undergone significant changes, with nearly ten tentacles missing.

But the power was still terrifying.

Two tentacles reached out from the murky sea of Qi, pulling out Zhao the Thousand-Year-Old, who had alienated into a "Forbidden God's Offspring," and General Qin Mu, who also displayed signs of Haotian.

They were hung directly onto two heavenly pillars that appeared out of nowhere and were burned red-hot.

The horrific punishment began to unfold.

After the punishment, the Lord of Immortal Qin teleported back into the Nest Palace, leaving behind an entire army of transcendent beings to supervise the ongoing punishment.

The imperial method of this person is: punish both sides equally, so that King Xi cannot kill Bishop Zhang Tang within a few days, allowing the balance to be maintained.

When this scene appeared!

The unease in Li Yu's heart immediately lessened slightly.

But it was only a little bit, because unexpected situations emerged one after another.

Just as that side was successfully delayed, Su Xing, who was still communicating via voice transmission, fell into a life-and-death crisis.

The blue bird transformed by her spiritual Qi inexplicably dissipated.

Li Li Xuanji, Li Yu saw a figure fly out from a cold palace in the distance, looking like a goddess against the moonlight, fleeing toward other places.

Behind her, several figures of Demon Star Token Holders appeared, among them many Sequence 5 existences, all starting to hunt down Su Xing.

"Found her, that 【Chosen of the Earth Mother】 is here."

"Quick, kill her and there's a big reward."

"A Chosen One about to reach Sequence Five is worth a huge amount of merit points at the Demon Star Order."

"What a beautiful woman; if only she would join my Lust Sect."

……

Li Yu had a sharp eye and could see the vast disparity in strength between the two sides at a glance.

Because among the Order Masters in pursuit, there were three whose sequence cultivation was on par with Qing Nü's.

Furthermore, there was also a genuine Sequence Five present.

Being discovered by such a "gang," under normal circumstances, Qing Nü would undoubtedly die.

This caused Li Yu to immediately knit his brows.

If it were any other Reincarnator he didn't know being hunted like this, Li Yu would certainly choose to ignore it.

But it just had to be Qing Nü; the two were not only acquainted.

Even knowing that he, Li Yu, was a Demon Star Order Master, and at such a life-or-death juncture, Qing Nü still chose to come and deliver the warning.

With such loyalty, given his, Li Yu's, temperament, how could he stand by and watch her die?

But Li Yu also knew clearly that the moment he left the side of the Master of Immortal Qin, he would be simultaneously ambushed by the Joy King and the Haotian Church, and would drop dead in less than half a breath.

Fortunately, if he were pushed to the limit, he had all sorts of methods.

It was unknown what Li Yu thought of, but a look of heartache suddenly flashed across his face.

And in the next moment, it turned into real pain.

He first went to a hidden corner within the Nest Palace, set up an altar and other items, and then took out a small bronze sword that grew in the wind; under his mental control, the blade turned back to strike.

With a clean and swift flash of sword light, one of Li Yu's arms was severed.

Before even a single drop of blood could splatter, the arm shimmered with brilliant light in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into another person.

A person completely different from the original body in appearance, temperament, and Qi.

This new "Li Yu" looked as evil as a demon, yet at the same time, had sword intent soaring to the heavens.

If the alias 【Ren Shou】 that Li Yu used previously had the demeanor of a Sword Immortal, then this alias could be completely called a Sword Demon.
