Chapter 348

The Sun-Shining Life Wheel Array absorbed the life-force of the entire city, erupting once again with brilliant divine light, and the rapidly whistling divine runes also became steady and orderly.

But following Feng Lingxiao's attacks, and the demon kings leaping from the demon tide striking together, the divine array trembled repeatedly; each time it endured an attack, it consumed a large amount of life-force.

This was the lifespan of all the citizens in the city; when the divine array absorbed it to a certain degree, the life-force would no longer be absorbed, and at that time, the divine array would reach its limit.

Li Tiangang turned his head abruptly, looking toward the Divine General Mansion; he recognized at a glance the golden, meteor-like figures flying over—they were the past ancestors of the Li Clan, setting out on an expedition once again.

His eyes were filled with hot tears, and he felt ashamed in his heart.

"Child, let me assist you."

A kind voice came, and an ancestor's remnant soul flew to Li Tiangang.

Li Tiangang looked at the other party, remembering that he was the 21st ancestor, a strong man who had killed demons on the border in the distant past and perished together with six demon kings.

"Your descendant is unfilial; please, ancestor, sweep the array for me!"

Li Tiangang said, suppressing his grief.

The kind elder smiled slightly, his figure flickering, transforming into golden flames that draped over Li Tiangang.

Powerful strength surged into his body, and the ancient bronze blade in Li Tiangang's hand bloomed with dazzling divine flames; he closed his eyes to his grief and indignation, becoming resolute and murderous, and transmitted his voice to his wife, Ji Qingqing, for her to contain Feng Lingxiao.

The Taiyuan Sword supreme treasure in Ji Qingqing's hand could restrain the Dao Domain; here, only she and Li Muxiu could fight against the Dao Domain.

"Fourth uncle, let's go solve the other demon kings!"

Li Tiangang said to Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran looked at him, his gaze falling on the ancestor soul clothing on his body; in an instant, the scene of that young man in the Mo River, draped in the remnant soul clothing of the ancestor Li Tianyuan, fighting in a bloody battle, flashed through his eyes.

His heart ached, his fingers clenched slightly into a fist, and without responding to Li Tiangang, he turned and charged straight toward the other demon kings in another place.

Not long after Li Xiaoran flew out, an ancestor caught up and merged with him; Li Xiaoran's momentum suddenly soared, but he was already in the Martial Arts Realm, and the improvement that ancestor could bring him was relatively limited, only able to burn his soul to store power, equivalent to soul-opening without decay.

"All of you die!!"

Li Xiaoran roared, not failing the ancestor's soul-burning power, his eyes turning red as he roared and rushed into the battlefield in front, directly killing his way out of the divine array.

The demon kings of the Dragon Gate and the Shenggong saw Li Xiaoran, and their new and old grudges erupted together; for thousands of years, the Divine General Mansion had guarded the four directions, and their conflicts with the demons had long since accumulated deep grievances and endless hatred.

Boom!!

A heaven-shaking battle erupted; Li Xiaoran struck crazily, blade lights crisscrossing, actually forcing four or five demon kings to retreat, and with a backhanded blade technique, the Carefree Heaven's End Blade, he slashed out, cutting one of the Dao Heart Realm demon kings in two!

That demon king's spiritual sense darted out, screaming as it fled, but it was torn apart from afar by Li Xiaoran's second blade, perishing on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, a demon king had fallen.

The other demon kings were both shocked and angry; this Carefree Blade Saint of the Li Clan was too ferocious, a Martial Arts Realm existence who was not inferior to their Great Elder.

"You continue to attack the array, let me handle him!"

A figure from the Shenggong killed his way out, his whole body releasing jade-green radiance, revealing a massive peacock true form, suddenly spreading its tail screen, as if covering the sky and sun, over a hundred feet high, releasing strange spiritual sense attacks that caused Li Xiaoran's consciousness to suddenly grow dim.

"Wake up!"

The ancestor heroic spirit possessing him roared angrily.

Li Xiaoran suddenly woke up; his thoughts were confused for only a moment before he saw a sharp peacock feather shooting over, containing purple electric light, its power astonishing.

He hurriedly brandished his blade to slash, splitting the feather, then roared as he repeatedly exerted his martial arts, blade lights as brilliant as stars arriving in an instant, slashing at the peacock great demon king.

Space was cut off, the Carefree Blade could not be avoided, exceeding the guidance of the Dao rhyme, and every blade hit its mark!

Bang, bang!

Several tail feathers of this peacock great demon king were immediately slashed off, and its chest was torn by two blades in succession, feathers exploding, revealing extremely deep wounds.

It spat out blood, its body defeated and retreating, disbelief in its eyes.

"Die!!"

Li Xiaoran roared angrily, using the ancestor's soul-burning power to repeatedly exert his strongest martial arts.

Blade after blade slashed down, his whole body's power surging; this peacock great demon king was terrified—this Carefree Blade Saint, blessed with the ancestor's power, was simply ferocious and impossible to block.

The other demon kings did not dare to engage; after all, this Li Xiaoran was in the Martial Arts Realm, his blade technique was strange, and they simply could not block it.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran was displaying great power, forcing numerous demon kings to retreat with his own strength.

That peacock great demon king hurriedly spat out a green ring, spinning rapidly, blocking all of Li Xiaoran's blade lights, but the light on the green ring also dimmed significantly; this was a top-tier divine weapon, but at this moment, it had suffered some setbacks.

Numerous demon kings were shocked and angry, not expecting this old fellow of the Li Clan to be so strong; besides Li Muxiu, this Li Xiaoran was also not to be underestimated.

Bang! In mid-air, the Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda was still shaking the divine array.

Although Ji Qingqing attacked with all her strength, Feng Lingxiao borrowed this Sacred Heart supreme treasure to suppress her attacks together; although some force was neutralized, the power was still ferocious.

Each collision caused the divine runes on the divine array to dart rapidly; the originally steady and orderly divine runes gradually accelerated, clearly indicating that the previously absorbed life-force was being consumed rapidly.

A figure whistled over; it was Li Qingzheng. He looked at Feng Lingxiao, who was constantly attacking the divine array, his eyes splitting, and he roared as he killed his way out.

"Get lost!"

Feng Lingxiao's expression turned cold; he had also seen the scene of Li Xiaoran defeating numerous demon kings outside the battlefield, and while angry, he also felt anxious.

Once the divine array was broken, these people would all be suppressed before his Dao Domain, but this divine array was like a turtle shell, extremely difficult to break.

Even with the destructive power of this Sacred Heart supreme treasure, he had not been able to destroy it in a short while, which showed that the provincial city where the Divine General Mansion was located was indeed as solid as a rock.

Li Qingzheng's attack entered the Dao Domain and was quickly dismantled, having no effect; he was both anxious and angry, realizing that staying here was useless other than being anxious.

He looked at another battlefield outside the array, where the fighting was heaven-shattering; his second brother, Li Muxiu, was fighting Long Jueshen, and looking from afar, his second brother seemed to be at a disadvantage.

But that was also a battle of Dao Domains, and he could not intervene.

However, the battlefield over at Li Xiaoran's side was the front line of the demon tide.

"Go, leave this place to this girl to delay; let's go and kill all those demon kings!"

Li Xuanli said rapidly.

Li Qingzheng did not say a word, took a step, rapidly caught up with Li Tiangang, and killed his way out of the city array with him.

"Die!!"

Li Qingzheng roared; he was also an existence who had stepped into the Martial Arts Realm; although his martial arts were not as aggressive and terrifying as Li Muxiu's, he was not someone ordinary demon kings could rival.

Catching up with Li Xiaoran, he and Li Xuanli, who was on his body, fought side-by-side again after many years!

"Kill all these demon kings first!"

Li Xiaoran roared, brandishing his blade and attacking constantly; the Carefree Heaven's End Blade slashed out, the blade never missing, and every time he exerted his strongest martial arts, a brilliant blade light tore through the void, and a demon king was severely injured! Three blades in succession, and a demon king perished.

Li Qingzheng also rushed into the demon tide, starting a massacre; the two pushed outward, actually forcibly blocking the offensive of the surging demon tide, like reefs against a flood, tearing a tragic gap in the demon tide.

The demon kings of both forces were all terrified and could only retreat; although many of them were demon kings, there were few in the Martial Arts Realm—only two—and neither was a match for Li Xiaoran and Li Qingzheng.

Plus, they had ancestor soul-burning power added to them, and the two had endless strength, exerting their strongest martial arts constantly, not knowing exhaustion at all.

Feng Lingxiao, who was breaking the array, saw this scene and was so angry he wanted to curse; he hurriedly withdrew and charged toward Li Xiaoran and Li Qingzheng.

He stopped breaking the array, giving the divine array time to recover; Ji Qingqing saw this and breathed a sigh of relief, but knowing her duty, she immediately chased after the opponent across the array, following wherever he went.

"Careful, he's coming!"

Li Qingzheng noticed Feng Lingxiao flying over and called out hurriedly.

Li Xiaoran's eyes also tightened, and he said rapidly: "Retreat!"

They flashed repeatedly, constantly displacing the air, retreating to the front of the array as if teleporting.

When Feng Lingxiao's attack arrived, the three had already returned to the array.

"You break the array, we will kill all your demon subordinates!"

Across the divine array, Li Xiaoran stared fixedly at the opponent, carrying surging killing intent.

Previously, they had switched to attacking these demon kings also to attract Feng Lingxiao's attacks, and now the goal was achieved, and in this short moment, they had killed four demon kings, which was a great profit.

"You deserve to die!!"

Feng Lingxiao was so angry he gritted his teeth, his handsome face becoming distorted: "After the array is broken, I will surely make your Li Clan flow with blood!!"

"Then come and try; my Li Clan does not fear life or death!"

Li Qingzheng's eyes were cold and stern; the bloodthirsty killing intent he had restrained for many years through chess was all released.

"Everyone, follow me to break the array!"

Feng Lingxiao stopped talking nonsense and ordered the surrounding demon kings to break the array with him; with his Dao Domain protection, Li Xiaoran and the others could no longer injure them.

Li Xiaoran and the others' expressions were ugly, knowing this was not a solution; staying here was useless, so they could only transfer again, charging out from another part of the array and killing into the demon tide.

Since these demon kings were protected, they would clean up these demon tides first; it would be faster.

And Ji Qingqing rushed over, hurriedly brandishing the Taiyuan Sword to slash, neutralizing the attack of the Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda.

Feng Lingxiao saw Li Xiaoran and the others killing into the demon tide from one part of the city wall like wolves into a flock of sheep, his heart filled with anger, but he could no longer manage these demons; if this array was not broken, the longer it dragged on, the greater the casualties.

"Li Clan! Li Clan!!"

Feng Lingxiao was truly enraged, roaring as he exerted his true power, constantly bombarding the array.

But on the other side, the demon tide was causing a bloody storm; Li Xiaoran, Li Tiangang, and others killed into it, and casual attacks caused massive casualties.

Without demon king protection, these demon tides were powerless before the Four Standing Realm experts, being slaughtered like wheat.

At the same time, in the Huai River secret path to the east, Li Clan powerhouses closer to Qingzhou were the first to rush over.

Among them were also powerhouses, such as the already married-out Li Qingling and Li Xueyun; previously, they had already struck to help in Liangzhou, and now, summoned by the ancestor bloodline guidance, they happened to be not far away, and both rushed over.

Both were in the Three Imperishable Realms; after they arrived, there were soldiers specifically there to meet them, and soon, they used their spiritual senses to detect the situation in Qingzhou City, their expressions ugly; although it seemed stable for now, once the array was broken, they would rapidly fall into a desperate situation.

Without a word, they killed their way out; with ancestors adding to their bodies, their strength soared, and they also charged out from another part of the array, killing into the demon tide.

For a time, except for the battlefield where Feng Lingxiao and Long Jueshen were, the entire demon tide battlefield outside the city was being slaughtered rapidly; everywhere were the wails and screams of demons, and the Li Clan actually held the upper hand.

Inside the city, countless citizens looked up at the sky from the cracks in their windows and saw the Li Clan figures flying across the sky; some old people in the city, seeing those golden remnant souls, opened their eyes wide, carrying disbelief and excitement, hot tears rolling down.

They recognized that those were the long-deceased ancestors of the Li Clan, stepping out of the ancestral hall at this moment to fight for Qingzhou City!

Boom! Boom! The Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda in Feng Lingxiao's hand was constantly roaring, but the divine runes were still stubbornly supporting it.

On the contrary, the demon tide side, if left alone, was about to be killed into a rout by Li Xiaoran and the others.

In this stalemate of one side breaking the array and the other side slaughtering, behind the demon tide, on a high mountain in the distance, two figures like abysses stood there.

They did not release any aura, and the breeze blowing toward this place seemed to stop quietly, becoming as thick and stagnant as dead water.

"What a bunch of trash; even with supreme treasures, they can't attack it. No wonder they are driven like pigs and dogs by this Great Yu Divine Dynasty!"

At this moment, one of the figures was the graceful woman condensed from black Qi; her eyes were cold, and the purple patterns on her face extended and twisted like vines.

"It should be said that the foundation of this Li Clan is indeed deep enough. I don't know whether to call this Sun-Shining Life Wheel Array exquisite or vicious; it can actually transform the lifespan of all living beings in the array into power—it's scary enough."

The other figure was a young man in a black robe, his face indifferent, his eyes crimson, but without bloodthirst or brutality, only a world-weary indifference.

"A thousand years ago, when the Immortal Gate opened, the most outstanding geniuses of these Divine General Mansions all went to that Sacred Realm. I didn't expect there to be such strong residual power; in this short thousand years, many more outstanding people have been born. No wonder it is the race that produces the most sages; the potential is truly terrifying."

The graceful woman's eyes were cold, and there seemed to be a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"These remnant souls of theirs have all remained to guard this landscape for that hundred-pulse monster. It's a pity; if we could have waited another few decades, attacking this Divine General Mansion wouldn't have been so difficult. But that damned monster appeared in Liangzhou, and the Battle of Liangzhou has already exposed our intentions, so we had to advance it."

The black-robed young man could not help but shake his head; only they knew that that Liangzhou monster not only quelled the demon disaster in Liangzhou but also disrupted their plans for over a hundred years, forcing many things to be brought forward.

In this case, they would have to pay a higher price.

"These Li Clan heroic spirits have all come out, and the bloodline guidance has been used, sparing no effort. They might have already sensed us. Forget it, let's help them one more time; if it drags on too long, the Ancient Demon Hall side will soon be unable to be sealed, and there are too many others coming to support the Li Clan. The connections of this thousand-year family are too deep!" the black-robed young man said.

The graceful woman frowned, looking at Feng Lingxiao, who was still brute-forcing the array, a look of disgust appearing in her eyes. She raised her finger, and a purple pattern on her face contracted, rapidly extending along her arm to her fingertip.

Subsequently, it transformed into a ray of extreme purple light.

"What a bunch of trash."

As she spoke, the extreme purple light at her fingertip suddenly shot out, breaking through the air at a speed exceeding space, arriving in an instant, silently traversing the battlefield, and crashing into the array of Qingzhou City.

Bang! Just as the purple light crashed, Feng Lingxiao was also brandishing the Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda, smashing it fiercely onto the divine array.

Ji Qingqing hurriedly brandished her sword to strike, her blade light slashing at the Sacred Heart supreme treasure, scattering much of its light, but the violent tremor still sounded.

Only, this time the sound was somewhat different; amidst the roaring tremor, suddenly, those rapidly trembling divine runes trembled violently, then turned like insects that had lost their way, spinning in a chaotic mess. Before long, the divine runes stagnated, and that brilliant divine array slowly cracked open.

Ji Qingqing's pupils contracted violently, looking at this scene in horror.

Feng Lingxiao was also stunned for a moment, somewhat bewildered, not expecting this strike to actually break the array.

But he seemed to have felt a wisp of extreme cold aura just now; his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but turn his spiritual sense, but he saw nothing on the battlefield behind him.

He could not afford to think too much and hurriedly seized the opportunity to mobilize the Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda again, smashing it down.

Bang!!

This divine array shrouding the sky over Qingzhou City shattered suddenly; at this moment, it was completely torn apart!

The sudden breaking of the array caused Li Xiaoran, Li Tiangang, and others who were fighting in the demon tide in the distance to freeze, staring blankly at the array whose divine light had faded.

"It's broken!!"

The numerous demon kings beside Feng Lingxiao erupted in joyful cheers; this turtle shell was finally broken! "Kill!"

A demon king rushed out rapidly, raising his hand to brandish a scorching heat wave, sweeping into the city; in an instant, half a street was burned to the ground. The joy in Feng Lingxiao's eyes instantly turned into monstrous killing intent, his gaze falling on Ji Qingqing, who had constantly obstructed his breaking of the array: "You, go to hell!!"

The Dao Domain swept out, and at the same time, the Sacred Heart supreme treasure in his hand, carrying millions of tons of force, suppressed toward Ji Qingqing.

The blood drained from Ji Qingqing's face, but a figure rushed over rapidly, roaring: "Run!!"

At this moment of life and death, Li Tiangang rushed in front of her, pushed her away, and then turned to meet the vast Dao Domain power.

With a bang, his body was exposed to the Dao Domain, enduring the burning of countless raging fires.

At this moment of life and death, he exerted the power of reversing fate.

The burning flames, just as they were about to ignite his body, suddenly greatly reduced in power; only to see Feng Lingxiao spit out a mouthful of blood—his previously suppressed internal injuries had actually recurred at this moment, and he hadn't been able to suppress them all at once.

His handsome face turned as pale as paper; he had exerted himself repeatedly to drive this Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda, and although the supreme treasure's power was great, the controller's consumption was also extremely large; he was somewhat over-exhausted at this moment.

By the time he hurriedly swallowed divine medicine to suppress his injuries, Li Tiangang had already escaped from his Dao Domain, carrying Ji Qingqing toward the Divine General Mansion in the distance.

"Damn it!"

Feng Lingxiao's expression was ugly; he didn't know if his injury outbreak just now was caused by repeated consumption or induced by that strange and unpredictable fate-reversing power.

Once the power of reversing fate was exerted, unpredictable "accidents" would occur to rescue the target.

But this kind of accident seemed to conform to the laws of heaven, like a foreshadowing buried long ago, just happened to be triggered by the power of reversing fate, rather than the kind of powerful force felt intuitively.

This was also the reason why the Heavenly Dao was difficult to fathom.

Feng Lingxiao did not dare to chase Li Tiangang again; at this moment, the other party was entangled with the power of reversing fate, and he was worried that continuing to chase would cause other accidents for himself; even though he was in the Great Peace Dao Realm at this moment, he could not cut off the power of reversing fate and could only watch the other party escape.

But fortunately, the fate-reversing opportunity only happened once; killing them later would be the same, unless the other party fled Qingzhou City directly.

"You killed happily before; now, it's my turn!!"

Feng Lingxiao turned his head to look at Li Xiaoran and Li Qingzheng; they had killed demon kings and slaughtered a large number of demons, which had already made him boil with angry blood.

Li Xiaoran's expression changed drastically, and Li Qingzheng's expression was also ugly; he couldn't understand why the array had suddenly shattered—looking at the previous state, it should have been able to hold for a while longer.

"Die!"

Feng Lingxiao chased and killed the two instantly.

"Escape!"

Li Xiaoran shouted, not intending to fight head-on; engaging in a head-on confrontation with a Great Peace Dao Realm expert holding a Sacred Heart Heavenly Treasure was no different from seeking death.

They could only escape! The process of escaping was containment; it was buying time.

The two brothers had great tacit understanding; almost without communication, they dispersed rapidly, fleeing in opposite directions.

At the same time, inside the city, following the destruction of the array, a massive demon tide swept in, fighting with the soldiers on the city walls.

And those demon kings killed their way into various parts of the city.

He Jianlan, Gao Qingqing, Li Xuanli, and others were all draped in ancestor remnant souls, fighting with those demon tides.

Encountering demon kings, they could barely fight, but they themselves were ultimately not in the Four Standing Realms; borrowing the power of their ancestors, although they could briefly erupt with extremely strong power, they were still far inferior compared to true Four Standing Realm demon kings.

Bang! Li Xuanli was chased by a Fate-Reversing Realm demon king and slapped away, crashing down and destroying the buildings inside; the power of the tremor directly killed the residents hiding inside.

Li Xuanli spat out blood, his face flushed red, roaring as he exerted the power of non-decay to kill, fighting as one with the ancestor remnant soul, barely engaging with him, but retreating steadily.

Everywhere in the city, there was war and fighting in an instant.

"The demons... have entered the city..."

"The city is broken!!"

Those citizens hiding in their homes saw the massive demon king figures fighting in the high sky inside the city; the fear they had forgotten during a thousand years of comfort now crawled all over their faces.

Inside the city, the Li Clan army fought with the demon tide, the melee chaotic; but without the array to block them, relying only on the army's fighting, the number of demons was too large, and many demons directly took advantage of the chaos to climb over the army and kill their way into the city, destroying and slaughtering everywhere.

Li Wushuang, Li Yuanzhao, and others saw this and hurriedly separated to kill the demons causing chaos in the city.

But as the battle continued, more and more demons killed their way into the city, and the gap in the army's defense line was also torn open by the demon kings; although the soldiers of the Yuan Battalion were elites, they could not withstand the demon kings leading the way.

On the mountain peak of the Tan Palace Academy, Song Yufeng looked at the fallen city, his expression desolate; behind him were numerous teachers and disciples of the Tan Palace Academy.

"My Tan Palace teaches martial arts, but even more so teaches people!"

Song Yufeng turned his head, looking at the numerous Tan Palace teachers and disciples behind him, among whom was his own granddaughter; the sadness in his eyes had already been put away, his gaze cold and resolute: "Demons are attacking the city, and the commoners are in trouble. Are my Tan Palace disciples willing to fight for the common people before them?!"

"Fight!!"

"Fight!!!"

Numerous disciples issued a uniform roar.

Song Yufeng's eyes became gratified; he nodded, then became solemn: "Then follow me, down the mountain to kill demons!!"

As he spoke, he was the first to walk out with his hands behind his back, killing toward that piece of prosperous human world.

Numerous Tan Palace teachers followed by flying, and those disciples either flew or rushed down the mountain.

Among them were many outer courtyard disciples with Tongli Realm cultivation; some timid ones hid secretly, but more were unhesitating, rushing into the war below the mountain.

In a jade pool on the mountain top, the pool water suddenly stirred up a thousand layers of waves; a deep blue water Qilin suddenly jumped out, bringing cold pool water as it rushed toward the foot of the mountain.

Before the Divine General Mansion, Li Tiangang carried Ji Qingqing and fled to this place; they turned their heads and saw that the numerous demons originally outside the city were now crawling all over the city walls, fighting with the soldiers.

And among the crowded demons, many took advantage of the chaos to rush into the city, destroying everywhere.

The entire Qingzhou City, which had been prosperous for a thousand years, was now plunged into war following the tearing of the array, with a feeling of falling.

Li Tiangang's eyes had a moment of trance; he had never imagined that this Qingzhou City he had been familiar with since childhood, the Qingzhou City where everything he saw was a prosperous scene, would also appear with such signs of war, demons filling the sky, and citizens fleeing everywhere in the streets.

Who could... come to save all this? He was stunned for a moment, and his wife's voice came to his ears: "Tiangang, you go and preside over the overall situation, I will go and kill the demons!"

After Ji Qingqing finished speaking to Li Tiangang, she stared at him, then held the Taiyuan Sword and killed toward those demon kings in the city.

Li Tiangang also came back to his senses; he suddenly woke up and rushed rapidly into the Divine General Mansion; he wanted to gather those Li Clan bloodline descendants who had come from the Huai River secret path to cast bones for the ancestors and fight to the death.

At this final moment, as the True Dragon of the Li Clan, only he could protect all of this, even if it meant death! As Li Tiangang stepped into the Divine General Mansion, at the city wall, Feng Lingxiao chased rapidly toward Li Qingzheng, and the distance between the two was constantly closing.

"Stop!!"

Li Xiaoran was shocked and angry; his blade technique was integrated into his movement technique. Feng Lingxiao saw this and did not choose to chase him, but instead chased Li Qingzheng.

And his fifth brother's movement technique was slightly inferior to his own.

Whoosh! He suddenly brandished his blade, the blade light arriving in an instant, but it fell into Feng Lingxiao's Dao Domain; before it could slash out a hundred meters, it was burned and dissipated.

"Old Five, run!!"

Li Xiaoran could only shout anxiously.

Li Qingzheng saw Feng Lingxiao constantly closing the distance, his expression ugly, but soon his eyes became calm; he did not flee into the city, but instead charged toward the demon tide.

He knew that at this chasing speed, even fleeing into the city would be death; there was no way back, so rather than that, it would be better to kill more demons before dying.

"Third brother, it seems we are going to end together."

Li Qingzheng said.

Li Xuanli, attached to his body, had his soul burning so weakly at this moment, but he smiled and sighed: "Yes, it's a pity we couldn't kill two more demon kings in the end, only able to kill some of these small fry."

"Kill them in the next life, if there is one."

Li Qingzheng said, then plunged headlong into the demon tide, instantly plowing a massive bloody trench.

Feng Lingxiao caught up in the blink of an eye, raised the Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda, and smashed it down directly, wanting to kill him until his soul was destroyed! But just at this moment, a terrifying fist momentum whistled down, actually causing the Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda to sway slightly, deviating from the attack.

Only to see Li Muxiu, covered in blood, killing his way to this place; his robe was already torn to pieces, the muscles of his arms seemed to have been pulled apart, blood constantly seeping out, and at this moment, the Sacred Heart supreme treasure ribbon in his hand was also stained red.

"Second brother!"

Li Qingzheng saw Li Muxiu chasing over, and he, who had already prepared to accept death, was shocked.

"Run, go with Old Four to reshape the flesh for the ancestors!"

Li Muxiu coughed up a mouthful of blood and transmitted his voice rapidly: "I will block them for you!"

His face was crimson, and the churning blood in his body could not be suppressed from appearing on his face; he had only noticed Li Qingzheng's situation after hearing Li Xiaoran's call, and had rushed over regardless of his injuries.

Li Qingzheng looked at Li Muxiu's blood-stained appearance, feeling that his own heart was about to burst from pain; his eye sockets turned red, but he didn't say another word, gritting his teeth and rushing toward the city.

"Second brother..."

Li Xuanli looked at Li Muxiu's back, feeling only grief in his heart; blocking two Great Peace Dao Realm experts alone with a Half-Step Dao Realm was impossible to block!

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Feng Lingxiao was angry, directly covering him with his Dao Domain, wanting to shroud Li Qingzheng within it.

But just at this moment, Li Muxiu's Dao Domain also suddenly expanded, crashing over fiercely, blocking it for Li Qingzheng.

"Long Jueshen, what are you doing!!"

Feng Lingxiao couldn't help but roar.

Long Jueshen chased over, his expression also extremely ugly; facing Feng Lingxiao's roar, he could only transfer his anger to Li Muxiu; as a Dao Realm expert, not only failing to kill Li Muxiu but actually letting him break free was simply shameful! Boom!! Long Jueshen brandished the Ten Extremes Sword, and the extreme sword shadows split out one after another, condensing one by one; ten swords merged into one, transforming into the strongest sword light that fiercely slashed toward Li Muxiu.

Li Muxiu had already experienced this before and roared as he brandished his fist again.

The Half-Step Invincible Fist cooperated with the Dao Domain; in an instant, his Dao Domain seemed to fall into a brief state of invincibility, actually suppressing that strongest extreme sword.

Only, after suppressing this sword, as the invincible momentum dissipated, the backlash force caused his face to flush red again, his eyeballs covered in bloodshot veins, congested and red.

"Kill him!"

Feng Lingxiao also saw that Li Muxiu was at the end of his rope and struck in anger.

In an instant, the two joined forces and fought fiercely with Li Muxiu.

When they first attacked the city, they had fought two-on-one and were blocked by Li Muxiu borrowing the array; now, each holding a Sacred Heart supreme treasure, their lethality was greater, and there was no array to give Li Muxiu a breather, so they could kill him in one go!

Bang, bang, bang! Successive strikes caused the sky full of thunder and divine radiance to shatter; the whistling fist momentum caused everyone in the city to be affected by the movement of this battlefield.

Looking at that aged figure blocking two Great Peace Dao Realm experts alone with a Half-Step Dao Realm, everyone in the Li Clan showed grief in their eyes.

They could only watch from afar, unable to intervene at all; their attacks dissipated like smoke and dust in the Dao Domain, having no damage to speak of.

Pfft, Li Muxiu spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his tattered lapels; the churning blood in his body could no longer be suppressed, seeping out from his mouth, nose, and ears.

In the desperate battle, his power of non-decay had long been exhausted; his originally decaying body relied entirely on his will to hold on, and he had insisted on fighting until now at the cost of shattering all the great meridians in his body.

The blood seeping from his eye sockets stained his vision, and the world before him seemed to be blood-red.

Li Muxiu just wanted to raise his hand to wipe it away, when suddenly, a sharp Dao Domain tore over; without the invincible extreme momentum, under the friction of the two Dao Domains, his Dao Domain became thin and was suddenly attacked by Long Jueshen's Dao Domain.

With a crack, Li Muxiu's arm was suddenly torn off, along with the blood-stained sleeve.

On the fist of the severed arm, that Sacred Heart Heavenly Treasure was still wrapped; Long Jueshen took it off, felt the Sacred Heart essence spirit resisting on it, directly sealed it, and threw it into the heaven and earth space.

Subsequently, a ferocious look appeared in his eyes, as if feeding, staring at Li Muxiu: "Now there is only one fist left, old dog, your death date has arrived!"

Li Muxiu stood up, his body tottering, but the blood at the severed arm had stopped.

Only, it had just stopped bleeding, but there was no regeneration.

He no longer had the extra strength to regenerate his arm.

"One fist is enough; if I were in the Dao Realm, one punch would be enough to kill you!"

Li Muxiu shook his head slightly, shaking off the blood from his eye sockets; at this moment, his face was covered in blood, his appearance desolate, his arm severed, but his aged body still stood in mid-air.

"To be able to do this in the Half-Step Dao Realm, your death is indeed glorious, but we will not let you die gloriously; I will smash you to pieces in front of your Li Clan members, crushing you bit by bit!"

Feng Lingxiao's eyes were cold and stern; as he spoke, he struck suddenly, and the Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda smashed down fiercely.

Li Muxiu turned suddenly, his feet half-stepping out, and the only remaining hand, five fingers condensed into a fist, smashed out fiercely.

Bang! In an instant, the Dao Domain seemed to be forged into invincibility; without a Sacred Heart Heavenly Treasure as a weapon, it was just a mortal fist of flesh and blood, smashing onto the Profound Universe Heavy Building Pagoda.

The terrifying impact force reverberated, and Li Muxiu's body slid backward rapidly, but he did not fall, only spitting out another mouthful of blood.

And at this moment, an extreme sword edge suddenly struck, instantly cutting into the Dao Domain; the moment the invincible momentum of the Dao Domain dissipated, it broke through his Dao Domain and slashed directly onto his body.

In an instant, Li Muxiu felt a sense of weightlessness in his body, followed by tearing; half of his body was cut off—and it was the half with the arm.

The power carried by that sharp sword Qi flipped his body, falling toward the ground.

The last trace of strength in his whole body seemed to be taken away along with it.

Li Muxiu looked at the sunlight that had risen not long ago, gradually ascending, shining on his face.

For a moment, it felt somewhat dazzling.

So tired...

Father always said I was the most useless, and he was really right...

To be defeated miserably before the ancestors, I've embarrassed him again...

His mouth was bitter; thinking of his eldest brother whose remnant soul dissipated outside the Heaven Gate Pass, his congested eyeballs slowly seeped out a bit of moisture.

In his mind, like a revolving lantern, figure after figure flashed by—there was the woman he had failed, the child fishing by the lake, and Old Feng...

"Second Master!!!"

Suddenly, a mountain-collapsing, sea-roaring shout was transmitted from the distant horizon.

It seemed to carry ten thousand thunders ringing together, rushing to this place, like a thunderclap, whistling and reverberating over the entire Qingzhou City, causing the entire war-torn city to hum!! (End of chapter)
