Chapter 171: Chapter 7 Defeat the Immortal (Makeup for 9/25)
Two Heavenly Human Realm Great Demons were injured; though they fled desperately for their lives, Li Hao’s sword was faster.
Bian appeared again, the petals paving the way.
The Sword Qi instantly tore open the body of the Purple-Eyed Mad Bull Demon, ripping its body apart.
Then, the Sword Qi turned like a corner and exploded the head of the Green-Scaled Viper.
Both Great Demons perished instantly.
Being of the same Heavenly Human Realm, they were no match for Li Hao in a single encounter.
Li Hao’s gaze shifted towards Li Hongzhuang, wanting to assist her. The disparity between his abilities today and when he first stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm was immense.
In these past few days of consolidation, he had integrated many Cultivation Techniques into his Grandmaster Path, forming a rudimentary new technique system.
But at that moment, another Great Demon charged out from the Demon horde.
At the same time, demons were colliding everywhere in the camp, tearing many tents to shreds.
Other demons were charging towards that graveyard.
Li Hao glanced at Li Hongzhuang; she was surrounded by three Immortal Realm Great Demons but had not fallen into a disadvantage. The Peerless Technique she executed was so powerful that the three Great Demons dared not resist it head-on.
It seemed that she could hold on for a while longer.
Li Hao no longer held back nor saw any need to hide his strength, deploying the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation.
In an instant, a Dharma Body Golden Body a hundred feet tall appeared, as if a majestic deity had descended.
Li Hongzhuang, deeply engaged in fierce battle with the three Great Demons, was startled by this sudden grand aura. When she noticed, she was shocked.
A Divine Soul of such stature was at least an entity of the Four Stands Realm.
Yet the appearance of the Divine Soul was that of the same youth from earlier.
Shock surfaced in Li Hongzhuang’s eyes; she did not know what kind of Soul Refining Skill Li Hao had practiced to condense his Divine Soul to such a terrifying degree.
At this moment, Li Hao’s Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation stood tall in the middle of the camp. Raising his palm, he struck down into the horde of Demons, and immediately, countless Demons were annihilated with a single slap.
In the face of this horde, deploying the Endless Sea swordsmanship would have been most suitable—it was excellent for large-scale group attacks.
Or deploying the Falling Snow Sword Skill would also cover a wide area.
But both were martial arts of the Li Family, which Li Hao had promised not to use again.
He manipulated the Dharma Body, deploying his self-created technique that combined Cultivation Techniques into his Grandmaster Path.
Falling Snow Sword Skill + Yin and Yang Inversion Sword + Rain’s Intent formed a new swordsmanship, the Blizzard Sword Technique.
Two superior Sword Skills, infused with the Rain, one of the many natural elements, created a brand-new top-tier Peerless Technique.
Li Hao took all of nature as his master; the Rain was one of the elements, its Intent complementing the Falling Snow Sword Skill. Paired with the reality and illusion of the Yin and Yang Inversion Sword, the moves within the Blizzard were unpredictable.
Regrettably, Li Hao did not have a Divine Sword in his hand at the moment, which greatly reduced the might of his sword technique.
Still, it was more than enough to annihilate these lesser demons.
In an instant, the temperature dropped sharply, the cold spread far and wide, as if snowflakes started to appear, accompanied by raindrops like dew.
They were then swept away by a force, transforming into a storm that swept into the horde of demons.
Demons that touched the edge of the blizzard were swiftly slashed and torn apart, their bodies uncontrollably sucked into it, utterly pulverized.
These seemed like snowflakes and wind blades, but in reality, they were vortices formed by numerous Sword Qi.
Li Hao took a deep breath, veins throbbing vigorously, and swung his sword thrice in succession.
Three blizzard vortices swept through the camp, a vast number of demons falling dead. With each movement of the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, more demons were trampled and killed. Even Fifteen Li Realm demons that tried to attack Li Hao’s Dharma Body were effortlessly crushed with a single palm.
Li Hao stood in the camp, like an invincible War God, manipulating Sword Qi to slay all the demons.
More and more demons surged forward, but they suffered heavy casualties, blood flowing and limbs scattering everywhere.
Li Hao held a broken long sword in his hand, standing unshaken.
In his heart, he regretted and marveled that among his first six realms, it seemed that only Divine Traveling had reached its pinnacle, condensing the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation.
The other realms had yet to touch their limits.
Once he had opened up all his major meridians, perhaps he would reach the limit of the Zhou Tian Realm. Who knew what mysteries would then unveil, and the same was true for the other realms.
“Divine Might!”
Seeing more demons charging towards the graveyard, Li Hao’s eyes suddenly blazed with fury as he deployed the Buddha Nature Realm power of the Heavenly Human Realm, Divine Might.
The Heavenly Human Realm had three stages: Unity, Buddha Nature, and Great Grandmaster.
Just stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm, strictly speaking, one could not be called a Grandmaster but was only able to integrate one’s own techniques into a whole.
The next step was to condense the Divine Soul, fortify it into Buddha Nature, commanding Divine Might to intimidate thousands with a single fury.
The last was the Great Grandmaster Realm, a match for ten thousand enemies. Reaching this realm, one could struggle in the midst of an army, but not for long—the freedom to come and go in the Three Immortal Realms was still vastly different.
After days of consolidation, Li Hao had moved from Unity a few days ago to the Great Grandmaster Realm.
Ten thousand enemies were no match!
At this moment, he stood in the camp like a divine general that commanded awe in all directions, constantly wreaking havoc with the Dharma Body, concentrating Divine Might to deter the demons in front of the graveyard.
Then he condensed Divine Might into a sword, just as he had done when he battled Li Tian Gang, the opponent’s Divine Might Knife!
“`
Of course, the divine might condensed by the Three Immortal Realms was even more formidable than that of the Grandmaster Realm.
The strength of this divine might depended on one’s own Divine Soul power.
And Li Hao’s divine might was exceptionally peerless within the same realm; at this moment, his roar caused many demons to be frightened out of their wits, halting their headlong charge abruptly.
Li Hao charged through, killing all the demons that had invaded the camp.
The Falling Snow Sword Skill swept through the camp, wreaking havoc and devouring the lives of these demons every moment.
Although Li Hao was alone, with the aid of the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, he had the momentum of being invincible, causing the demons at the rear to calm down, fear taking hold of their hearts, and the intent to retreat emerging.
“Bastard!”
In the distance, the Feipeng that was besieging Li Hongzhuang saw its demon troops suffering heavy casualties and was beside itself with rage, letting out an indignant screech to the sky.
“What are you looking at!” Li Hongzhuang suddenly swung her sword at it.
The Feipeng hastily dodged, but its wing was still slashed, causing it both shock and anger. It said to Chi Hu Jun, “You hold her off first, I need to go quickly and cut down that damned brat!”
Chi Hu Jun wanted to keep it there but then thought that the iron lady seemed to care quite a bit about the boy just now. Perhaps if the Feipeng could go and kill him, it might distract her, so it immediately nodded, “Go quickly and return quickly!”
“Three breaths!”
The figure of the Feipeng had already swiftly darted out, intending to tear that damned boy to shreds within three breaths.
Li Hao was still pushing through and slaughtering the group of demons when he suddenly sensed the sound of something cleaving through air. He turned his head and saw that it was the black giant bird.
Far from being alarmed, he was actually pleased; this would ease some pressure off Li Hongzhuang.
“I wonder, how much does my current strength fall short of the Three Immortal Realms?”
Li Hao no longer paid attention to the group of demons; the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation behind him also turned around, looking down upon the approaching black giant bird.
“Die!!”
The Feipeng roared and charged directly, unleashing its most ferocious attack, shooting out a black coruscating light like thunderous lightning, aiming to kill the boy.
Li Hao’s eyes grew solemn as he slowly stepped forward, executing another peerless technique he had comprehended.
Half-Step Invincible Fist + River Severing Sword Skill + Meteor’s Intent, combining to form his own punch, Fury Star!!
With each step, the cultivation technique within Li Hao’s body rapidly contracted and circulated, reaching sevenfold in a blink of an eye.
The Seven Star Lighting trait was triggered, and the power of the cultivation technique doubled!
Combined with the Yin and Yang double explosion power, just the strength that burst forth from his physical body alone reached thirty-five million Jin!
At the same time, the relentlessly fierce Sword Intent of the swordsmanship, paired with the power amplification of the Invincible Fist and the boosting assistance from the Law Manifestation.
This punch from Li Hao reached the pinnacle of power. Amid the howling, the entire night sky seemed to lose its color, and the sparkling punch tore through the night, erupting forth.
The air twisted, with the ultimate punch bursting out like a meteor, carrying an overwhelming invincible might, reflecting in the pupils of the black giant bird.
“This, this is impossible!”
The black giant bird screamed, flailing its claws and firing more than a dozen black thunders, but they were annihilated before the punch’s might.
It was then engulfed by the punch’s shadow, its massive body struck by the Law Manifestation’s punch and sent flying, crying out in agony, its chest caved in and shattered, feathers falling and scattering.
With a whoosh, the body of the black giant bird tumbled into the battlefield where Li Hongzhuang was, covered with blood and dust from the ground, and it was in a sorry state.
Chi Hu Jun and the Six-Tusked Sting Pig’s pupils shrank, their faces filled with shock, nearly being caught by Li Hongzhuang’s blade in their moment of distraction, close to being split in two.
They quickly put distance between themselves and the bird, turning to look at the black giant bird.
The other had said it would return in three breaths, now what about three breaths, it had returned in just one breath.
But it was beaten back.
The two Immortal Great Demons stared dumbfounded at the distant boy, whose aura was undoubtedly that of the Heavenly Human Realm, but… you’re telling me someone from the Heavenly Human Realm can send an Immortal Great Demon flying in a single breath?!
Li Hongzhuang was unable to take advantage of the situation and felt annoyed, but seeing the Feipeng on the ground, she couldn’t help but reveal a hint of shock in her eyes and involuntarily divided her attention to look towards Li Hao. Was that move just now his own doing?
At this time, the Feipeng on the ground got up, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and some shattered internal organs.
In its eyes emerged a mix of alarm and fear, and as it looked toward the boy, felt the threat of death from that one punch, terror rising in its heart.
“Run!”
The Feipeng no longer dared to stay; demons cherished their lives, and there was no point tangling with the Human Race, especially when they were not sure if there were other humans lurking in the shadows.
They had mainly come today to probe, and if they could have managed to kill Li Hongzhuang in passing, it would have been an excellent outcome.
But that boy was too peculiar, making it uneasy.
To the Feipeng, letting out a cry of warning was acting with enormous compassion. As soon as it finished speaking, it already spread its wings and soared into the sky, darting towards the distance with great speed.
Chi Hu Jun and the Six-Tusked Sting Pig’s faces changed slightly, realizing that with their opponent fleeing, facing two against two would definitely put them at a disadvantage. Previously, with three against one and if they could prolong the battle, they might have managed to kill Li Hongzhuang, but now without the Feipeng, it became even less likely.
Almost without hesitation, they too escaped quickly.
They had attacked this city several times, and if they couldn’t breach it, they would retreat.
Li Hongzhuang swung her sword to chase, but the two Great Demons were extremely fast, and the demon horde met her head-on to impede her, acting like human shields. Even though they posed no threat to Li Hongzhuang, they delayed her pursuit.
“You stay here and watch, I’ll go after them.”
Before Li Hongzhuang could stomp her foot in secret frustration, Li Hao’s voice came from behind her, and then he charged forward, riding the winds to chase after the two Great Demons.
Li Hongzhuang was startled, her expression changing drastically.
