Chapter 252: Chapter 36: Arrangements (7K Two-in-One Chapter)_3
The flag was emitting a surging Demon Qi, swelling in the wind as if it were about to cover the fist.
But when the flag touched the fist, it tore instantly, like a piece of rag, its patterns warping and collapsing, offering almost no resistance.
However, in the moment the flag attempted to block, the silver-robed youth activated a streak of flowing light that caught them up, shooting towards the sky like an aurora.
“Don’t you dare escape!”
Li Muxiu roared furiously, his body’s strength surging like angry waves. He abruptly raised his hand and, in the distant void where the silver light had fled, he conjured a massive palm that smashed down fiercely.
The three Demon Kings inside the aurora were horrified. Could this even be possible?
The Dragon Lord spoke again, spitting out a breath of True Dragon Sword Qi that collided with the giant palm, slowing its momentum slightly.
Using this brief window, the silver light sped away, but its edges were still grazed by the palm.
Simultaneously, the three of them spat out mouthfuls of blood, their eyes showing a glint of terror. Was this the power of the Ultimate Study Realm?
Without pausing, the silver light continued, fading somewhat before flying beyond the sky and disappearing from view.
“Tan Palace!!”
Seeing the silver light vanish into the horizon, Li Muxiu’s eyes nearly breathed fire, recognizing the identity of the silver-robed youth and the escape talisman employed.
Li Tian Gang had been stationed in Northern Yan for over a decade, largely because of Tan Palace.
And now he had seen an elder from Tan Palace again.
If it weren’t for the fact that Li Tian Gang’s generation had suffered too many casualties and the third generation’s youngsters hadn’t yet risen, leaving no one to spare to preside over the Divine General Mansion, he would wish nothing more than to visit Tan Palace and turn it upside down right now!
Hearing the demonic tide still roaring in the distance, Li Muxiu’s residual anger was hard to quell. He raised his fist and struck out.
The fist was radiant as the blazing sun, suppressing from above the tide of Demons and carrying the force of thousands of mountains falling.
In an instant, a huge expanse was crushed within the demonic tide, the ground littered with fresh blood, and the torn bodies of slaughtered Demons, some of which were annihilated completely, leaving only scattered remnants.
It was as if he had punched to death a swarm of mosquitoes!
Such terrifying momentum caused the remaining Demons to be utterly petrified and trembling in fear.
Everyone present was shocked, having witnessed the terrible power of the older generation of the Li Family.
Was this the strongest combat force currently in the Divine General Mansion?!
Li Muxiu’s face was twisted with rage. He did not pursue the three Demon Kings any further. Scanning the surroundings, he spotted a huge Demon King corpse in the camp and his pupils slightly constricted—the small Heavenly Gate Pass had actually faced the incursion of four Demon Kings at the same time!
No wonder Feng Boping had been so gravely injured. No wonder Li Hao’s situation had been so dire!
Li Muxiu turned and headed back, appearing instantaneously before Li Hao. Observing Li Hao’s mutilated body, tears welled up in the eyes of a man who hadn’t cried even on the battlefield for years.
The last time he was this angry was when his elder brother died.
“Quick, take the medicine.”
Li Muxiu quickly pulled out numerous medicines from his sleeve, many spilling to the ground, all precious treasures that would make anyone envious.
Li Hao’s heart had settled down a bit. From the moment that the master of the Heavenly Secrets Tower appeared, he knew he would survive this battle. Seeing that his second uncle had also come, he revealed a smile and said:
“Sorry for the worry.”
“What silly things are you saying?”
Li Muxiu nearly choked up, “It is I who arrived too late.”
“You are indeed quite late; how come you only arrived now?”
Feng Boping did not indulge Li Muxiu, the feeling of being snatched from the jaws of death brought a smile to his face as he spoke somewhat irritably.
Li Muxiu glanced at the hole in Feng’s abdomen and shared some medicine with him, “Say fewer words, don’t run out of breath.”
“Don’t curse me. We agreed to die together in the future. If you don’t die, how can I possibly die?”
Feng laughed as he spoke, yet he did not refuse the precious medicine handed to him and swallowed it down immediately.
Li Muxiu paid him no mind and turned to look at Song Qiumo, offering her a share as well and whispered, “This favor, the Li Family will remember!”
Song Qiumo smiled enchantingly, her cheeks still pale and weak, but now that the situation was stabilizing, she did not need to maintain tight control over her body. Her inner Qi began to circulate quietly, turning to heal her own injuries.
“This favor isn’t intended for the Li Family; it’s for him,” she said with a light laugh.
Li Muxiu was taken aback, his expression changing slightly. The favor of the Li Family was exceedingly precious, but the Demon King of Tan Palace chose to ask for a favor from Li Hao instead.
However, Li Muxiu knew that there was some teasing in her words; she hadn’t seriously considered it as a favor.
Otherwise, would she have persevered here to such an extent?
What favor could be more important than one’s life?
Li Muxiu turned his head to look deeply at Li Hao. That this Demon King from Tan Palace was willing to sacrifice so much for Li Hao showed the depths of their friendship.
Considering these things, he felt reassured yet also somewhat bitter.
“Eat it, why aren’t you eating?”
Li Muxiu saw that Li Hao was only holding the medicine without ingesting it and urged him immediately.
Li Hao shook his head gently, handing the treasures to Feng. It would be a waste for him to ingest them, as it wasn’t necessary.
Now that the Demon Kings were driven away, and their lives were no longer in immediate danger, he could heal himself by leveraging the nature of his recuperative abilities, although it would take some time, especially since he had been so severely injured this time.
Seeing Li Hao’s actions, Li Muxiu’s expression changed slightly. Remembering the words Li Hao had said when he left the mansion, he said bitterly:
“Won’t you even accept what your second uncle offers you?”
Li Hao quickly responded, “Second Uncle, you misunderstand; these treasures would be somewhat wasted on me, as I can heal myself.”
“What nonsense about waste, no amount of treasures would be too much for you!” Li Muxiu said angrily.
