Chapter 230: Alone Against a Horde of Demons

The massive body of the Longmen Demon King was flung backward, slamming hard into the earth.

The Heavenly Manifestation, facing numerous Demon Kings, let out a silent roar, swinging its arms to unleash terrifying punch energies, each punch evolving into primal phenomena—lightning flashed, thunder roared, winds surged, and fire erupted, all hurtling toward the Demon Kings.

The monstrous forms manifested by the Demon Kings clashed with the Heavenly Manifestation, evoking the feeling of demons battling a true god.

Li Li Tiangang's expression shifted constantly as he raced toward the battlefield at full speed.

That familiar Heavenly Manifestation reminded him of the battle in Qingzhou.

Back then, the sky had shattered and the earth cracked, the fight raging from the Divine General's mansion all the way outside, spanning the skies above Qingzhou City.

That arrogant, spirited youth had been crushed beneath his immortal might.

Now, the power of this Heavenly Manifestation surpassed even that of the past.

And the soul-shattering aura radiating from the Manifestation made him, now having shattered into the Fourth Establishment Realm, feel his heart tremble and his flesh quiver.

This was not youthful recklessness—it was an undeniable majesty!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

In rapid succession, Li Hao's Heavenly Manifestation swung fists and kicked legs, battling the Demon Kings; the force of their collisions tore the ground beneath the Manifestation into jagged cracks like monstrous claw marks.

Yet whenever the Manifestation's body was torn apart by the Demon Kings' attacks, it instantly healed, as boundless power continuously poured into it.

In contrast, the Demon Kings were repeatedly flung away or kicked over by Li Hao's Manifestation, unable to close in or inflict any damage upon Li Hao.

"Get lost!"

Li Hao's eyes blazed like cold lightning; his Manifestation swung both arms, unleashing ten million tons of force in a sweeping strike.

The Demon King in the form of a mountain ape, who had just leapt forward, was struck square in the face by the punch and instantly flung backward.

Another Demon King, shaped like a winged giant crocodile, dove down—but Li Hao spun and kicked it away, sending it crashing over ten miles away.

The Manifestation raised its hand, gathering heavenly power into its palm, condensing it into a pure blade of light, then whipped it outward—countless spring rains surged forth.

Each raindrop became a blade, a tidal wave, surging toward the Demon Kings.

The Demon Kings roared in fury, slapping at the rain, shattering the blade-light—but the blade-light flowed endlessly, like a downpour washing over them, forcing several Demon Kings to retreat.

The half-dragon Demon King of Longmen roared forward, its flesh like divine iron, scales impervious to blades and spears, directly braving the rain of blades to break Li Hao's momentum.

But suddenly, the blade-qi droplets struck its scales—and the scattered energy seeped inside.

The Demon King suddenly felt its strength stall, as if its soul had been snatched away; its body grew impossibly heavy, crushed under the weight of ten thousand mountains, and with a thud, its forward lunge collapsed, falling dead at the feet of Li Hao's Manifestation.

Life energy extinguished—dead on the spot! This eerie sight shocked the other Demon Kings, who immediately realized the rain held a terrifying killing technique, just like the one in Li Hao's battle flag! Impossible to see through, impossible to defend against—the only solution was to avoid being touched! "Don't let that blade-qi touch you!"

"He has a strange attack!"

The numerous Tai Xu Realm Demon Kings grew fearful, frantically swinging demonic power to shatter every raindrop before it could reach them.

But the blade-qi rain was overwhelming; even as they fought, they were forced back a hundred miles by Li Hao's sheer might alone.

Li Hao's Heavenly Manifestation drove back the multitude of Demon Kings, then suddenly raised its hand and hurled the blade of light toward the dark clouds Ningju by Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was furious—these Demon Kings had failed to stop Li Hao.

That strange attack also unsettled him; even he couldn't discern how the Elder had died.

If Li Hao had simply blasted him to death with a punch, he could accept it—after all, it was visible. But these raindrop blade-qi, though potent, clearly weren't strong enough to kill a Demon King.

Yet he died anyway.

Facing the unknown, fear arose.

At that moment, the blade of light pierced the dark clouds; Lu Yuan roared, summoning the thunder within the clouds, transforming it into countless lightning whips that coiled around the blade and shattered it.

But the blade of light also severed countless bolts of lightning, delaying the culmination of Lu Yuan's ultimate technique.

"Attack! Are you waiting to die?!"

Lu Yuan bellowed.

The Demon Kings all grimaced—they knew if they truly hesitated, the situation would only worsen.

"Kill!"

They roared and surged forward again, surrounding Li Hao from all directions.

At that moment, Li Li Tiangang arrived and shouted urgently: "Hao'er, run!"

Li Hao, who had been about to charge toward Lu Yuan, paused, furrowed his brow slightly, and glanced over.

When he saw Li Li Tiangang's figure, his brow wrinkled again—but quickly relaxed, and he turned away, continuing straight toward Lu Yuan.

Seeing Li Hao ignore him, Li Li Tiangang grew frantic and furious, shouting at the Demon Kings: "If you've got guts, come at me!"

"I'll fight you!"

Bai Bai Shenjun, who had been hesitating on the sidelines, still undecided whether to join the battle—if he didn't fight, Longmen would rage at him later.

But if he did fight… he didn't want to die.

Now, seeing Li Li Tiangang arrive, he suddenly found this human general, whom he'd hated for over a decade in Yanbei, oddly likable—he'd been awkward just watching, and now here was his chance to act.

As he stepped forward, Bai Bai Shenjun swiftly blocked Li Li Tiangang's path.

"Get out of my way!"

Li Li Tiangang roared in fury, raising his hand to slash with his divine blade.

Bai Bai Shenjun flicked his finger, sending a blade of light that shattered the divine blade's glow. He sneered slightly: "Just entered the Dao Heart Realm and you dare be so arrogant? No wonder you're a Li. But compared to your son, you're nowhere near my level."

"Then let's see!"

Li Li Tiangang's eyes turned icy; divine power erupted from his body like flames, his aura surging rapidly as he unleashed the Nine Steps Against Heaven, each step crushing the ground like a mountain.

Bai Bai Shenjun no longer held back, manifesting his true god form and lunging at Li Li Tiangang with his massive body.

The two instantly clashed violently.

Meanwhile, atop the city wall, Li Li Xuanli was not idle—he swiftly ordered others to activate the array nodes and launch surprise attacks on the demons beyond the defenses, forcing the Demon Kings to retreat.

With Qianji Daoist guarding the flank, even if Demon Kings rushed to reinforce, they could still retreat in time.

Soon, the city wall erupted with the might of a thousand armies, shouting as they charged out.

The demonic tide was startled; the numerous Three Immortal Realm great demons commanding the demonic army, seeing these humans dare to surge out from within the defenses, roared in fury and ordered their forces to attack.

Yet Li Li Hongzhuang rode ahead, wielding the General Hao Tian Flag, charging into the demonic tide.

She hurled three battle flags into the tide, which tore through it—immediately, torrents of sword-qi erupted, sweeping across and slaughtering countless demons without resistance.

The Three Immortal Realm demons within were also struck by the flag's sword-qi; in panic, they poured all their strength into their indestructible bodies—but the sword-qi sliced straight through, severing their flesh! Each battle flag exploded like a depth charge in the demonic tide, carving out blood-filled craters dozens of miles wide.

Seeing this terrifying power, the demonic tide began to panic.

On the other side, Li Hao, facing the encirclement of the Demon Kings, bent his Heavenly Manifestation to pick up the half-dragon corpse on the ground, then swung it like a whip.

Boom! Boom! The dragon corpse lashed out like a long whip, striking other Demon Kings and tearing open their flesh.

The Demon Kings, struck by the swinging dragon corpse, were flung away one after another, unable to close in.

Li Hao swung it several times, seeing the Demon Kings still charging despite their injuries, and his temper flared—he suddenly leapt into the air and activated the Heavenly No-Trace Technique.

With a single step, he appeared before a Demon King and punched straight out.

The Demon King, startled by Li Hao's sudden appearance, screamed in terror—before he could dodge, Li Hao's fist crushed him.

Li Hao pressed the advantage, unleashing a series of punches that shook the ground, reducing the Demon King's head to a bloody pulp.

Other Demon Kings roared and attacked, but as blows rained down on him, Li Hao ignored them—his body now rivaled divine weapons refined seven times; these Demon Kings could not harm him.

Boom! Li Hao crushed the Demon King's skull outright; as its primordial spirit surged out, the Heavenly Manifestation reached out, seized it, and with a low roar, squeezed it into oblivion.

A Dao Heart Realm Demon King had no defense against Li Hao.

This ferocious might shocked and terrified the other Demon Kings—the human youth was even more fearsome than the rumors from Huang Tianji Palace, as if an ancient Demon King had been reborn! Seeing the other Demon Kings momentarily cowed, Li Hao swiftly seized the limp corpse of the slain Demon King, merged his Manifestation into his body, and his power surged violently.

His aura exploded skyward as he charged toward Lu Yuan.

With a whoosh, he hurled the limp corpse into the dark clouds, tearing a gaping hole through the dense mass.

Countless bolts of lightning struck the corpse, shredding it apart.

Li Hao raised his fist and struck Lu Yuan—a punch that drew in the surrounding colossal power, condensing into a collapsed shadow of force, blasting toward Lu Yuan with terrifying killing intent.

Lu Yuan roared in fury, forced to channel all the power he had been gathering.

Endless lightning coalesced into a thunder dragon, roaring as it lunged at Li Hao's body.

Neither side defended against the other's attack—both struck directly, trading blows! Li Hao's gaze was icy, unyielding—he let the thunder dragon roar toward him, his flesh swelling, every body-refining technique pushed to its limit, waves of divine aura trembling outward.

Boom! Boom! Two violent impacts rang out—Li Hao was devoured by the thunder dragon, slammed into the ground, plowing a trench over ten miles long.

Lu Yuan, meanwhile, was struck by Li Hao's fist—blood spewed from his dragon mouth as his body was flung backward, falling from the sky with a pained moan.

"Hao'er!"

Li Li Tiangang caught sight of it from the corner of his eye—his face turned pale with shock and fury.

Li Hao's power surpassed his imagination—facing the combined assault of multiple Demon Kings, he'd still managed to severely wound Lu Yuan, the ancient dragon of the Ultimate Technique Realm. No wonder he'd chased him all the way here.

In just over a year, how had he grown this strong?! "Still distracted?!"

Bai Bai Shenjun roared, suddenly slamming his claw down, striking Li Li Tiangang's body and sending him crashing into the ground.

Then, with a furious roar, he dove down, as if venting all the hatred he'd accumulated over a decade of battles in Yanbei onto Li Li Tiangang.

Especially after Li Hao had slain his second life beyond the border—leaving him forever bereft of the courage to waste another.

Kill!

His body crashed down like ten thousand tons of force, tearing through Li Li Tiangang's armor.

Li Li Tiangang spat blood, yet his eyes blazed with fury—he unleashed a torrent of aura, forcing Bai Bai Shenjun's pursuit to recoil.

Bai Bai Shenjun's eyes narrowed—Li Li Tiangang was indeed strong; facing a Ni Ming Realm opponent, he still had the strength to fight back.

"Your Li family truly deserves to die!"

"But compared to your son, you're nothing."

Bai Bai Shenjun's gaze was as cold as arrows; he spoke icy: "If your son had guarded Yanbei back then, would we have needed to fight for over a decade?"

"But I'm truly glad that little monster was born only ten years ago—if he'd been born ten years earlier, I'd already be dead in his hands."

As he spoke, his entire body erupted with killing intent as he charged at Li Li Tiangang once more.

Li Li Tiangang's heart trembled at his words, his expression shifting wildly; seeing the figure lunging toward him, he roared and raised his blade again.
