This is none other than a Great Demon King of the Half-Step Tao Realm, yet he is willing to debase himself to become a mount, which is even more difficult than killing him!
Xia Linglong looked at Li Hao and suddenly felt that the meal she had previously eaten was in vain. Any sense of familiarity that had been established was now completely dissipated, and she felt that the youth before her was so unfamiliar, as though she didn’t understand him at all.
“Be quick, don’t waste my time.”
Li Hao frowned and urged the Tai Sui King.
The Tai Sui King came to his senses, his complexion turning ugly – in his eyes, there was a glimmer of despair, knowing that today he likely wouldn’t be able to escape.
He had already used his opportunity to defy fate and had no second life left – he feared he would fall here.
“Fine, I’ll talk, I’ll talk…”
The Tai Sui King, with a face as morose as if mourning the dead, lowered his head and said, “No wonder the Candle Flame God met his defeat. With a monster like you, it’s a pity I didn’t realize it sooner, but today…”
As he whispered this, he suddenly looked up, his face vicious as he roared: “Even if you kill me, you will die too!”
While he was whispering, his Dao Domain had quietly unfolded. Now, suddenly sweeping forth, it enveloped his body and pressed outwards, aiming to take Xia Linglong and Xia Yuan Wu with him, looking for a cushion in his fall.
“Dao Domain!” Discover hidden tales at empire
Xia Linglong and Xia Yuan Wu were taken aback, not expecting that the Gluttonous Valley Master had also reached the Half-Step Dao Domain.
As they watched the Dao Domain rapidly expanding, the two hastily unleashed their Unwithering Strength, trying to distance themselves, but in the next moment, the Dao Domain melted away like ice and snow, rapidly retracting and being forcibly suppressed back into the body of the Tai Sui King, unable to spill out even a bit.
“A Half-Step Dao Domain, and you dare to show off?”
Li Hao raised an eyebrow: “There are many ways to die; do you have to choose the most painful one?”
All roaring on the Tai Sui King’s face had gone out, leaving him stunned.
He had anticipated that in front of the true Grand Tao of Peace Realm wielded by Li Hao, it would be hard to free himself. Plus, with the Candle Flame God, two against one, he would most likely meet his end here. But he didn’t expect the disparity to be so vast, beyond his imagination and understanding.
His own Dao Domain could be forced back, unable to unleash even a little!
What was the difference between this and crippling the Dao Domain?
“You, you…”
The Tai Sui King looked at the youth as if seeing a ghost; at that moment, the youth appeared before him like a nightmare.
“Forget it, die.”
Li Hao saw that he had no intention of speaking and completely lost his patience. The Dao Domain pressed down, and with a boom, the Tai Sui King’s physical body burst apart.
An Eighth Cast physique had no resistance in front of his Dao Domain – he had only used one layer.
There was no need to use two layers of Dao Domain against a Half-Step Tao Realm opponent.
The Divine Soul of the Tai Sui King burst forth from the physical body, still standing dumbfounded in the air, not running away, seemingly aware that any struggle was futile.
Only when touched by the Dao Domain does one realize its terror.
Li Hao did not completely erase him but instead wiped out most of his Divine Soul, preserving only a tiny part, which he handed to Xia Linglong, saying:
“Elder Xia Linglong, I’ll leave this interrogation to you. I’m heading to Qingzhou first, and I’ll come back to get an understanding from you later.”
As a leader of a top demonic force, he must be involved in this grand scheme. Li Hao did not intend to let him die so easily – that would be letting him off too lightly.
Xia Linglong took the remnant Divine Soul of the Tai Sui King, feeling unexpectedly honored by the trust. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded: “I will, rest assured!”
She rapidly released her power to suppress and seal the Divine Soul of the Tai Sui King.
“Haotian General, be careful on your way to Qingzhou. Once my Xia Family quells the disturbance in Youzhou, we will make haste to come to your aid,” Xia Yuan Wu also quickly said, his words rushing, not wanting to delay Li Hao’s journey.
Li Hao nodded.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the Heaven and Earth Vein extended outward, and the boundless force from all directions converged above his outstretched fingertip.
That surging power, in an instant, transformed into limitless Sword Qi. Beams of sword light appeared overhead on the battlefield, magnificent and vast as if to cover the heavens and the earth with Sword Clouds.
Such an imposing aura and power stunned Xia Linglong and Xia Yuan Wu. Although they could also gather such assaultive force, their scope was nowhere near as broad, their aura nowhere near as terrifying.
Yet the youth before them seemed to unleash it with a mere flick of his hand.
“Kill.”
Li Hao uttered the word softly, and countless Sword Qi suddenly fell like raindrops, accompanied by the roaring sound of thunder, descending into the Demon Tide.
The demons still rushing toward the battlefield were immediately covered by this tremendous sword rain from the sky. Each strand of Sword Qi struck down, killing a demon instantly, without exception.
Even Heavenly Human Realm demons were no match for a single Sword Qi.
Only demons of the Three Immortal Realms could barely defend themselves. But under the continuous bombardment of Sword Qi, they quickly became riddled with wounds. When subjected to hundreds, even thousands of Sword Qi, they inevitably encountered that 1% fatal attack and perished.
The scope and magnitude of this Sword Qi were so vast, it almost obscured the entire battlefield.
The most terrifying part was that almost all the Sword Qi could be precisely controlled; under Li Hao’s command, they wove through the frontline where the Xia Family’s soldiers were fighting the demons, and amidst that chaotic battle, they accurately reaped the lives of demon after demon.
For a moment, across the several hundred-mile frontline, everyone witnessed the massive sword rain plummeting down.
The sky seemed to collapse into a whirlpool sea, from which countless droplets poured out.
Countless and covering the majority of the battlefield.
With the Flight Attribute doubling the range of attack, this sword rain effortlessly covered more than two hundred miles.
With one wash, countless demons fell.
Xia Linglong and Xia Yuan Wu, standing beside Li Hao, were so shocked they couldn’t speak.
Without the Tai Sui King, the Great Elder of Gluttonous Valley, and the remaining Elders, they would have had to expend considerable effort and time to eliminate all these demons.
But now, under the barrage of Li Hao’s sword rain, in just a short moment, the ground’s howls were already being completely drowned out…
