Chapter 170: Chapter 6: Slaughter
With its roar, a dark cloud suddenly attacked from the night.
Swish!
Countless black feathers burst from the sky, assaulting Li Hongzhuang like a shower of arrows.
Li Hongzhuang lightly tapped her toes and gracefully retreated, dodging the steel-like black feathers.
She looked up at the enormous black bird, as big as a hill, her eyes also showing a hint of solemnity.
“Kill!”
Chi Hu Jun roared, giving the charge order.
From the distant wilderness, the ground shook, and numerous demons rushed forward, heading towards the pass.
In front of the pass stood only a single figure of a woman in bright red, wielding a sword.
Li Hongzhuang’s eyes were cold and sharp, showing no sign of retreat. The aura around her gradually built up, like a gathering storm.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless flying stones and poisonous fog swiftly attacked from the forest, driven by the demons of the Fifteen Li Realm, covering the campsite.
Moreover, some demonic creatures emitted strange piercing screams, containing Divine Soul shocks that resonated on Li Hongzhuang.
A golden Divine Soul appeared behind Li Hongzhuang, its hands forming seals, and with a forceful chant like the tolling of a bell, it shattered all the demon arts.
At the same time, the Divine Soul waved its hands, stirring up a gust of wind that dispersed the incoming poisonous fog.
Previously, with the army present, without her defense, these demon arts alone would have caused heavy casualties among the troops.
Compared to these wave-like demonic creatures, Li Hongzhuang’s attention was always on those two Great Demons.
Soon, a multitude of demons arrived like rolling black smoke, like a ferocious tide of beasts, enveloping the skies and the earth, seemingly about to drown the figure in red.
But suddenly, a dragon-like hum of a sword resounded.
The three-foot green blade erupted with light, transforming into a giant sword, and fiercely slashed into the midst of the demons. In an instant, numerous demon corpses were severed and burst apart.
But there were many demons, and Li Hongzhuang was quickly surrounded. She swung her sword in succession, slaying them, her body radiating golden light, blocking some of the attacks from the demonic objects.
Suddenly, a black feather mingled with the demons shot towards her.
Li Hongzhuang’s gaze sharpened, prepared for the attack. She swung her sword forcefully, displaying the Li Family’s swordsmanship from Endless Sea.
Severing River!
The sword’s edge was heavy and forceful, as if it could split the earth, slicing the black feather in two.
Simultaneously, a foul wind descended, Chi Hu Jun closed in, its enormous body simply with a paw the size of Li Hongzhuang’s delicate form, slamming down with a purple glow in its palm and lightning exploding.
Li Hongzhuang swiftly countered with her sword, but was still knocked back by the strike.
Feipeng in the sky suddenly attacked, spewing a jet of golden flames, faster than arrows, aiming for Li Hongzhuang’s retreating position.
A flash of golden light shone in Li Hongzhuang’s eyes as she executed another cultivation technique, breaking away.
Flames suddenly sprang from her sword edge, slashing out and dispersing the golden flames.
As she acted, suddenly a sharp whistling sound charged at her, the onslaught coming with a sonic boom.
It was a toothed demon with curved sharp fangs that burst out from the horde of demons.
Upon seeing this demon, Li Hongzhuang’s pupils slightly dilated, recognizing it as the six-tusked sting pig that was on par with Chi Hu Jun, said to have the blood of an ancient Demon King.
At this moment, it capitalized on the gap when she made her move, suddenly unleashing its power with precise timing.
A fierce light shone in Li Hongzhuang’s eyes as Blood Qi surged throughout her body. She swung her other fist with a punch that burst forth with invincible might.
It was the Half-Step Invincible Fist.
However, she had not perfected it; after all, that pinnacle step could only be understood by that old master himself.
It wasn’t that he refused to teach her but that she couldn’t display its essence, because this Grandmaster cultivation technique was not something she comprehended herself.
With a bang,
her body flew backward, her punch negated. After all, she was hastily responding to a concentrated attack and now, with her Blood Qi in turmoil, she had sustained minor injuries.
Chi Hu Jun and Feipeng quickly pressed their assault, giving Li Hongzhuang no chance to catch her breath.
Li Hongzhuang could not afford to hold back any longer and unleashed Unwithering Power.
She had already stepped into the third phase of the Three Immortal Realms, the Unwithering Realm.
At this moment, the Unwithering Power surged, all her Blood Qi suppressed, and boundless fierce strength poured out from within her.
Her expression turned icy-cold, knowing they allowed Feipeng to appear specifically to lull her into thinking they were the only ones coming, while in reality, they had also brought this pig demon.
Swish!
Suddenly, a sound of piercing the air attacked from behind.
Li Hongzhuang’s expression changed, thinking it was an ambush. She quickly glanced back, only to be slightly startled.
She saw several flying swords speeding towards her, aimed at the two attacking Great Demons, which were easily shattered by them with a flick of their claws.
These flying swords, being incomplete, could not withstand the power of Great Demons, even though they were made of tough precious metal.
“Are there others?”
The three Great Demons quickly turned their gaze to the rear. Chi Hu Jun’s expression turned vicious: “There’s actually another brat, Heavenly Human Realm? Seeking death!”
They all saw a young man, sword in hand, approaching alone.
“Flip over all the tents for me!”
Chi Hu Jun roared angrily, to prevent others from hiding and playing tricks.
Demons surged into the campsite from all directions, tearing and destroying any battle flags at the boundary with no regard.
Some tents were instantly ripped apart and demolished.
Li Hongzhuang saw that it wasn’t a sneak attack, but Li Hao coming to her aid. Her expression changed as she angrily shouted, “Get back!”
She had to focus all her attention on the three equal-ranked Great Demons, having no time to worry about Li Hao.
“It’s fine, you do your thing,”
said Li Hao calmly.
Li Hongzhuang immediately became infuriated, but then she remembered Li He was lurking in the shadows; with him there, Li Hao wouldn’t be in danger unless several Immortals specifically targeted him.
Immediately, she gathered her focus and charged at Chi Hu Jun first.
Meanwhile, within the group of demons, several powerful and demonic figures suddenly soared away, rushing towards Li Hao.
A demon with a serpent-like demonic aura coiling around its body shifted its shape into a fair-skinned beauty in a black dress, looking seductively at Li Hao:
“Little brother, you smell so nice!”
“But you stink though,”
Lie Hao said.
The seductive woman in the black dress couldn’t manage to smile, while laughter erupted from the side. A hulking, rugged man strode towards Li Hao, “I’ll be the first to have a taste!”
The energy within his body leaked out, forming the shadow of a giant ape behind him, towering over like a mountain.
Li Hao glanced over at Li Hongzhuang, said no more, his gaze turning tranquil before suddenly releasing the energy within his body.
The major arteries throughout his body violently pulsated, and his Yin and Yang Dual Pulse opened in an instant.
With one step, the ground of the entire camp seemed to tremble and quiver.
“What?!”
The burly man walking towards Li Hao changed his expression instantly, his face showing alarm: “What is this?!”
Li Hao had already rushed in for a sudden attack, his eyes cold as stars, and in a moment he was in front of the man, stepping halfway forward and pushing out a punch!
The roar of the punch seemed to extinguish all the wind on the battlefield!
Then came an explosive, howling punch, fiercely slammed out.
The burly man was terrified, his body abruptly swelling, black, thick, and dense fur seeping out all over as he tried to reveal his true form, slapping his palms towards Li Hao and roaring, “Attack together, he’s not normal—”
With a bang,
the palms shattered and burst, flesh and blood splattering, followed by the giant burly body being instantly penetrated.
An invincible-like punch broke through the body, leaving a massive hole.
This Heavenly Human Realm Great Ape Demon had not even had the chance to reveal its true form before it was killed by a punch from Li Hao!
The seductive woman in the black dress had her bewitching smile instantly freeze, then her pupils contracted into serpent eyes.
The remaining Great Demons also changed color, as a demon wind suddenly rose, all showing their true bodies, not daring to hide any longer.
“What kind of creature is this kid?”
“A demon possessed body?”
“Damn it, let’s join forces and kill him!”
Several demons, now all revealing fierce expressions, dared not to be careless and all charged at Li Hao together.
The seductive woman in black dress transformed into a Green-Scaled Viper, with poisonous fog emitting between the green scales, sweeping towards Li Hao with a fishy smell.
Another demon, a Many-Eyed Giant Deer, shot out a rainbow-colored divine light from its head, turning into a radiating flying sword slashing at Li Hao.
Another, a Purple-Eyed Mad Bull Demon, gathered a blood-red eye within its horns, reflecting Li Hao’s figure, as if it was some kind of special Demon Art.
Facing the attacks of several demons, Li Hao did not take them lightly, his eyes showing a trace of coldness, his hand violently slashing out a Sword Qi with the broken sword edge.
In the air, fragrant petals appeared to fall to the ground and then bloomed into blood-red seeds, birthing Manjusaka.
Amidst the scattering petals, suddenly a huge and sharp Sword Qi slashed out.
In an instant, the distance between Li Hao and the three giant demons seemed to be severed, the Sword Qi arriving in a flash!
Three streaks of blood spattered, and with a thump, the majestic head of the Many-Eyed Giant Deer fell, abruptly cut off.
Simultaneously, under the sweeping Sword Qi, the waist of the Green-Scaled Viper was sliced in two.
The waist of the Purple-Eyed Mad Bull Demon was cleanly cut open, leaving a deep gash.
However, because the Sword Qi had consecutively cut through two Great Demons, by the time it reached this one, the momentum had slightly weakened, unable to cut through its body!
Still, the three Great Demons’ previously brewing terrifying presence instantly dissolved and crumbled.
The two halves of the Green-Scaled Viper’s body writhed and tumbled violently, its screams of pain and terror fixated on Li Hao.
From the body of the Many-Eyed Giant Deer, a fragmented Divine Soul rushed out, trying to escape into the distance.
But a petal fell, turning into Sword Qi in a flash, eradicating its Divine Soul!
“This isn’t the Heavenly Human Realm!”
“Run, we can’t hold against this!”
The head and tail of the Green-Scaled Viper started fleeing separately in terror, retreating far into the distance.
The Purple-Eyed Mad Bull Demon’s organs slid out, but it hastily shoved them back into its stomach using its power of material control. Its eyes turned from bloodthirsty madness to fear and pain, and it turned to flee.
Having struck down three demons with a single sword, Li Hao watched them attempt to flee and was not about to let them go easily, quickly pursuing them.
However, his movement technique was not fast, being only at the second stage.
But he still had one Skill Point left.
In the past, within the Divine General Mansion, Li Hao had no need for a movement technique, but at the Frontier Pass battling demons, the importance of movement technique became evident.
Without hesitation, Li Hao immediately chose to allocate the point.
Soon, his movement technique advanced to the third stage.
A flood of information rushed into his mind, and at the same time, his Bai Fengxing movement technique progressed from pinnacle to its true form.
With one step, Li Hao’s figure seemed to be surrounded by condensing wings, adding to his speed.
