Chapter 246: Chapter 35 Coming for Him (Two in One Chapter)
Seeing the three Demon Kings return for a counter-slaughter, Li Hao’s heart sank to the bottom.
“You never thought we’d counter-slaughter back, did you?”
Wan Shan, the Demon King, bared his teeth, but his eyes were unusually ferocious. Having seen Li Hao’s eerie posture before, he had guessed that it was some Secret Technique, which was why he decisively retreated.
But undoubtedly, no matter what Secret Technique it was, such an exaggerated boost in power was bound to not last long.
Thus, he had waited for the energy here to settle before turning around to strike back, intending to devour all three of them and avenge his brothers and son!
“I haven’t tasted Qilin meat yet, fellow Daoist.”
The Dragon Lord looked towards Song Qiumo with a smile on his face, but that smile was somewhat unsettling.
Song Qiumo and Feng Boping’s complexions turned ugly, but they immediately stood up, their auras surging, showing an unyielding stance and shielding Li Hao behind them.
However, at this moment, they were at the end of their tether, with little strength remaining.
Song Qiumo’s expression was complicated. She too was in the Defying Fate Realm, but the chance to defy fate had already been used up; otherwise, she could have restrained the three Demon Kings a little with her own power.
“Just a paper tiger, kill!”
The silver-robed young man took the lead in stepping forward, ready to make a move, when suddenly, an overwhelming and vast aura swept over them.
All that could be seen behind Song Qiumo and Feng Boping was the figure of the blood-soaked youth. His body cracked again, his bones making a cacophony like shattering glass. His body, not yet fully healed and covered in cracks, was now slowly swelling up once more.
Feeling this aura, both Feng Boping and Song Qiumo were startled and turned their heads, only to see Li Hao’s blood-red eyes, blood rolling down, and his body constantly splintering and spurting out a large splash of blood.
“Hao Er…” Feng lost his voice.
Li Hao slowly took a step forward. The previously silent Immortal Qi was mobilized again, drawing on the Power of Heaven and Earth.
His body, on the verge of collapsing, yet lifted his head and stared boldly at the three Demon Kings in the sky, his voice cold:
“You don’t think my Secret Technique can only be used once, do you?”
All three of Wan Shan’s group were shocked. The silver-robed young man halted his steps. Looking at the figure of the youth that looked like it could collapse at any moment, feeling the terrifying collapsing power emanating from his body, he dared not act rashly.
The Black Bird Demon King had died unclearly, and he still hadn’t figured out the cause of its death.
The longer they lived, the more they treasured their lives. Confronted with such unheard-of and peculiar circumstances, he chose to act with caution.
“It’s merely for show, Hmph!”
Wan Shan, the Demon King, snorted coldly. Although he was furious inside and thought of retreating, his expression seemed dismissive as he vehemently raised his hand and unleashed a vast Demonic Palm smash down.
Billowing Demonic Qi rolled like clouds, intent on annihilating everything within hundreds of meters around them.
In Li Hao’s hand, the Dragon Soar Sword burst forth with a sharp cry, fiercely slashing down.
The dragon’s soul soared into the sky, colliding with the Demonic Palm, then tore it apart. Countless scales ejected from the dragon’s soul were innumerable strands of Sword Qi.
Wan Shan’s expression changed slightly, and he swiftly slapped out his palm again, blocking these Sword Qis and quickly retreating once more, fleeing again:
“Kid, just you wait!”
The silver-robed young man also quickly followed his lead, leaving swiftly. Only the Dragon Lord was slightly puzzled. Although he felt the power Li Hao was emitting was extremely strong, comparable to the peak of the Tao Heart Realm, it didn’t seem to have a reason to fear.
However, since Wan Shan had chosen to retreat, he saw no reason to stay any longer.
“Seems it’ll have to wait until next time.”
With regret in his heart, the Dragon Lord glanced at Song Qiumo and quickly flew away.
The three Great Demon Kings had come quickly and left just as quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the world was clear again, and the Demon Qi had dissipated.
Li Hao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, swiftly closed his pores, sealed his entire body, and cut off the Heaven and Earth again.
But this time, it was even more laborious. Feng and Song Qiumo also lent their strength again, squeezing out some power to erect a Barrier for Li Hao.
Luckily, the confrontation this time was not intense. After half a stick of incense had passed, Li Hao barely managed to control his fracturing body. Yet compared to before, this second fracturing caused far greater damage; the flesh on his body’s surface had all peeled off, dissolving into the Heaven and Earth.
If it happened again, he feared he would be left with nothing but a skin-wrapped skeleton.
His organs and the like would be exposed.
The caution and slyness of these Demon Kings were unmatched by ordinary people.
Li Hao, enduring the extreme pain, but forced himself to remain calm, and slowly entered the state of Hiding One’s Abilities and Biding Time, stopping the injuries throughout his body.
“We must leave quickly, they’ll definitely come back!”
Upon seeing that Li Hao’s aura had stabilized and there was no immediate danger to his life, Feng Boping immediately spoke up.
Song Qiumo also nodded slightly. Although she did not know why Li Hao could still deploy this strange Secret Technique, there was no doubt that another time would be too much for Li Hao to bear.
They could only take the chance to leave now.
Li Hao did not refuse. He also knew that staying now was pointless and would only lead to their deaths at Heavenly Gate Pass.
The agreement was likely to be broken.
Thinking of this, his heart, which had regained tranquility, started to fluctuate, and he almost broke the state of Hiding One’s Abilities and Biding Time.
However, just as the three were retreating deep into the mountain pass, the ground suddenly began to shake.
The many hidden lines Li Hao had set up “Outside the Pass” when entering the “Transform to Immortal” state had already dissipated, lacking the strength to maintain those buried at a distance.
Now, the tremors in the ground could only be felt physically.
“It’s the Demon Tide!”
Feng Boping was the first to investigate, his finger retracting from the ground, his expression changing as he said, “It’s a hundred miles away, moving very fast. It will be here in a minute!”
Song Qiumo, supporting Li Hao’s bloody body, felt her finger touch the sticky, cracked flesh, causing her to tremble with emotion and reluctance. Her eyes filled with hatred, she immediately said:
