As the dragon’s corpse dried up, Li Hao felt a slight sense of relief in his heart, having dealt with one of the three Great Demon Kings.
He didn’t take another look at the ancient dragon, which had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and was famous throughout Dayu, and turned around to head towards the city walls.
By the time Li Hao arrived, he saw that the top of the walls had been overwhelmed by a tide of demons, with corpses of soldiers and demons scattered everywhere, blood flowing like rivers.
Chen Hefang, Li Qingling, and other women from the Li Family, who had come earlier to reinforce the wall, were already nowhere to be seen.
Li Hao enveloped the battlefield in his Qi but detected no trace of them.
This meant that they were most likely overwhelmed by the tide of demons, possibly already devoured by the mouth of some demon or in the belly of another.
Li Hao took a deep breath and wielded the Green Frost Sword to enter the tide of demons, weaving through the battlefield.
Soon, Li Hao realized that the presence of his other “brothers” had also dissipated.
Now that the north city wall had been breached, it was likely that those few, given their temperament, had also perished in the tide of demons.
Li Hao sighed inwardly and continued to fight against the tide of demons, doing his best to hold them off.
If he fought with all his might, there was still a chance of holding the defense for a day. Stay connected via M V L
With Li Hao’s addition to the fight, the battlefield was swept clean, his Sword Qi crisscrossing, tearing through the tide of demons.
The previously faltering situation was immediately propped up by Li Hao’s intervention.
The tide of demons was unrelenting, and Li Hao fought desperately. Without the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, he didn’t need to enter the state of transformation. Relying solely on the recovery power of the Heaven and Earth Vein, he could maintain a half-Unwithering Realm state; a war of attrition was not difficult for him.
Within the tide of demons, many Demon Kings burst forth, seeming to see hope for escape, charging towards Dragon City.
Li Hao fought valiantly, slaying these Demon Kings, and transformed the essence and blood power within their bodies to refine his own flesh, making it stronger and stronger, with many Body Refinement techniques pushing his body to even more extreme limits.
The battle continued, and Li Hao relieved the pressure on the north side before heading towards the east side of the city.
He was like a sword on the battlefield, shuttling everywhere, continuously assisting the broken defenses at various points.
But Dragon City was too large. Even with Li Hao’s support, there were still places being infiltrated by demons, with civilians scattering throughout the city.
As Li Hao continued the fight, he ordered the Li Family’s army to contract their defense lines, retreating to the inner circle of Dragon City.
Since the Array was gone, they had to rely on human walls to stop them.
Time flew by.
As the time approached the halfway mark, Li Hao suddenly heard an angry roar.
He saw a huge demon’s figure fall from the sky, crashing into the city.
Li Hao recognized that it was the true form of the young man in the torn robe who had fought against Li Tianzong for a long time without a decisive outcome. Now, however, his body was covered in cracks, and as he plummeted down, his Divine Soul dimmed.
Li Tianzong, engulfed in pitch black smoke, swooped down furiously, the black smoke engulfing the demon’s true body quickly, with horrifying sounds of tearing and the squelching of flesh coming from within.
Li Hao tried to probe with his Divine Soul but was blocked by the black smoke.
His action seemed to disturb something. The black smoke suddenly roiled and then contracted like a whale absorbing water, gathering on a single figure.
It was Li Tianzong.
The Demonic Qi rolled off him, but his eyes had turned blood-red, and he seemed to be muttering something under his breath.
Li Hao, with his extraordinary hearing, quickly made out what the other was saying.
“I must hold on…”
“I must hold on…”
Li Tianzong seemed delirious, mumbling indistinctly.
Feeling Li Hao’s gaze, he suddenly looked up, his eyes violent, with none of his previous composure or gentle smile.
Li Hao felt a chill in his heart at the stare, sensing he was being targeted.
He was internally alarmed, realizing that Li Tianzong was not in the right state, seemingly turned into what Li Xiaoran described as an untouchable state.
As Li Hao’s expression grew solemn, Li Tianzong’s blood-red eyes seemed to freeze for a moment, reflecting Li Hao’s image. After a pause, the violent killing intent in his eyes gradually revealed a hint of lucidity.
“Go quickly… to the city…”
Li Tianzong shouted loudly, but it seemed to trigger something, his expression quickly twisting into one of pain.
With a roar, his body suddenly shot up from the ground, heading towards the outskirts of the city, shouting, “Let me go!!”
The shout resonated over Dragon City, and outside the city, several lurking figures began to exude stronger Qi.
“What’s happening?”
At this moment, hiding among the demons outside the city, the Candle Flame God and his wife Ms. Yin, who had concealed their Qi and remained hidden, were waiting for the Soul Death Demon Kings to break through the city, deplete Li Hao, and then take their chance to strike.
Seeing Li Tianzong, who was defending Dragon City, charge out like a demon, they were both taken aback by the unexpected turn of events.
This was their first visit to the Mo River, and many things were unknown to them. Usually, a first visit was only for gathering information.
The Candle Flame God noticed that several Dao Realm Demon Kings from within the tide of demons, who previously looked down on him, now seemed eager to act, exuding overwhelming momentum.
“Are they targeting Li Tianzong?”
The eyes of the Candle Flame God flickered with a mix of surprise and suspicion.
Just then, a scene that shocked him to the core occurred.
Several Dao Realm Demon Kings rushed out of the tide of demons and surrounded Li Tianzong, not to attack, but to crash into him.
Li Tianzong’s appearance was even more frightening; he grew giant like a demon, his body expanding massively, and he swallowed several Demon Kings whole.
“This…”
The Candle Flame God and Ms. Yin’s pupils shrank in shock at this sight.
Seeing Li Tianzong, after devouring the Demon Kings, radiate a terrifying Demonic Qi, turning into a ghastly and demon-god-like figure, he roared to the heavens, his hair flying and his body growing as large as a wild beast.
