“`
The gentle breeze stirred, revealing an army banner!
This banner, over a dozen meters long, was thrust diagonally into the vast battlefield. As it billowed in the breeze, the words “Haotian” unfurled.
Monarch Bai, who was about to make his move, halted at the sight of those two characters on the banner, his pupils sharply constricting.
At the same time, his heartbeat seemed to tremble violently.
Was it that youth who fought like a god?!
He abruptly looked up toward the horizon, only to see black silhouettes after black silhouettes, hurtling towards them.
Indeed, they were more army banners, thundering down one after another, piercing the earth where the horde of demons marched.
With the ground shattering, the banners became visible, and the demons leading the tide in the Three Immortal Realms, after a brief moment of astonishment at the sight of the unfurled “Haotian,” trembled violently and showed a look of horror.
They immediately roared furiously, commanding their armies to halt.
Long howls from the demons caused the surging tide of demons to rapidly slow down.
Eventually, they stopped four or five li away from the battle flags.
Seeing the few thousand meters distance, the Great Demons within the horde, all drenched in cold sweat, heaved a sigh of relief.
The information from Tianji Palace had been frequent; they were well aware of the situation outside Heavenly Gate Pass.
This matter had already spread among the higher echelons of the demonic forces. The Dragon Gate and the Holy Palace had even taken Li Hao’s battle banner back for study, resulting in the death of a Great Demon from the Three Immortal Realms.
Everyone knew that with the youth stationed outside Heavenly Gate Pass, it was Liangzhou’s toughest nail.
It was also the place they had prepared to devour and uproot last!
The Haotian Flag, planted five thousand li outside the pass and instilling fear among the demon multitude, had already gained an infamous reputation.
“Don’t, don’t damage that banner under any circumstances!”
A Great Demon who knew the secrets exhorted loudly and anxiously.
Fearing that some careless demon might shatter the flag.
The sudden appearance of the battle flags, along with the demons’ odd reaction, left Li Xuanli and the others, who were facing despair, stunned.
What was going on?
The Thousand-Mechanism Taoist was also taken aback, staring at the banner in amazement.
All seemed to be because of this army banner.
The demons were extremely afraid of this banner.
The Yuan banner of the Li Family ancestors, symbolizing the invincible Yuan Camp forces, had never possessed such influence.
Whose banner was that, and whose name was on it?!
Upon seeing the banner clearly, Li Xuanli was shocked, and being in Liangzhou, he naturally knew to whom the banner belonged.
Hao Er was here, too?
He hurriedly looked up into the distance, but only saw a figure in bright red rushing toward them, it was his younger sister, Li Hongzhuang.
Li Hongzhuang also carried a large bundle of banners on her back and was now descending.
“Fifth Brother!”
Li Hongzhuang called out urgently.
Li Xuanli’s gaze swept towards the banners on her back and quickly asked, “Has Hao Er come as well?”
There was a nervousness in his voice, a mixture of anticipation and fear, fearful that Li Hao could also be in trouble if he came.
He knew Li Hao had the protection of the Four Stands Realm, and if Li Hao had arrived, the Four Stands Realm would likely come as well.
But they were facing five Demon Kings!
Li Hongzhuang pursed her lips slightly, not answering, worried her response might be heard by the Demon Kings.
Although she did not know the extent of Li Hao’s deterrence against the demons, it always seemed better to keep silent.
At this moment, Monarch Bai’s gaze swept past Li Hongzhuang’s figure before staring intently in the direction from which she had come, seemingly nervously waiting for something.
But no figure appeared from there for a long time.
Nevertheless, Monarch Bai did not dare to relax.
“`
He knew that in addition to fearsome combat abilities, that boy was also extremely cunning, perhaps hiding his presence and biding his time!
The grand momentum outside the city had come to a brief halt due to the arrival of Li Hongzhuang.
The countless demons within the demon tide all halted before a row of war flags on the ground, not daring to advance.
The several Demon Kings also stopped before those war flags, ceasing their attacks.
This strange scene left everyone atop the city wall staring agape.
Do these demons seem to be scared?!
“The Haotian Flag… could it be the one from Heavenly Gate Pass?”
“How is that possible?”
Atop the city wall, the Commander of Liangzhou murmured to himself.
The young general’s fame was too resounding, even if he did not seek it out himself, word of it had reached his ears through conversations amongst his subordinates.
But, was this military flag the young man’s?
Yet, why do these demons exhibit such dread?!
It’s too eerie!
“Did the kid from Heavenly Gate Pass also come?”
The Demon Kings, their gazes heavy, looked into the distance.
Although they had not seen the young man’s figure, they all had an uncomfortable feeling throughout their bodies.
Rumors about that young man had long spread among their forces, and he was listed on their must-kill roster.
Facing three Demon Kings alone, taking out the second life of a Demon King from the Defying Fate Realm, was simply ferocious.
If the other party also showed up here, then the outcome of the current battlefield was uncertain.
The most crucial point was, they had not seen Li Hao.
Had he actually come?
To say he hadn’t come, yet his war flag had arrived.
To say he had come, yet his figure was nowhere to be seen.
——Lurking.
“Damn it!”
“You little rat, come out if you dare!!”
“Hiding your head but showing your tail, what kind of skill is that!”
The Demon Kings surveyed their surroundings, issuing roars of anger. Join us on m-vl-em,py-r
This sudden outburst startled everyone on the city wall, leaving them dumbfounded.
What are these Demon Kings doing?
Whose name are they calling out?!
“That seems to be the military flag of Marshal Haotian!”
“Yes, that’s right, I’ve been to Heavenly Gate Pass. I didn’t see him and I returned, but I’ve seen this flag!”
“It’s his flag!”
“That’s General Haotian’s battle flag!”
Inside the city walls, some youths from the temporarily assembled aristocratic armies recognized Li Hao’s battle flag, calling out in shock and excitement.
Their voices quickly spread, and in no time, everyone found it hard to believe that this was actually General Haotian’s battle flag!
The mere flag of a young general had actually stopped the group of demons that had broken through the Frontier Pass and pursued for five thousand li within the realm, deterring a horde of demons!
Even the Demon Kings were wary because of it?
Could the young man really command such influence?!
Li Wushuang, who had managed to sneak into the city’s Array under the protection of Li Jian while the Demon Kings hesitated, heard the successive cries of astonishment from within the city and couldn’t help but stand still.
She stared blankly at the flags fluttering over the battlefield, and those two characters swinging wildly in the wind.
