Who could… come to save all this?
He was stunned for a moment, when he heard his wife’s voice, “Tiangang, you take charge of the overall situation, I’ll go kill the demons!”
After Ji Qingqing spoke to Li Tian Gang, she gave him a piercing look, then, holding the Taiyuan Sword, she charged towards the Demon Kings within the city.
Li Tian Gang also snapped back to reality. He immediately came to his senses and rushed towards the Divine General Mansion. He needed to gather those from the Li family who had arrived through the secret pathways of the Huai River, to recreate the flesh for their ancestors, and to fight a battle to the death.
At this final moment, as the Li family’s True Dragon, only he could protect everything, even if it meant death!
As Li Tian Gang stepped into the Divine General Mansion, at the city wall, Feng Lingxiao chased after Li Qingzheng at high speed, closing the distance between them rapidly.
“Stop!!”
Li Xiaoran exclaimed in shock and fury. His blade techniques integrated into his movement technique, and Feng Lingxiao, seeing this, chose not to pursue him but went after Li Qingzheng.
And his younger brother’s movement technique was just slightly inferior.
Whoosh!
He suddenly swung his blade, and the light of the blade flashed by in an instant, but once it hit Feng Lingxiao’s Dao Domain, it had not flown a hundred meters before it was burned to ashes.
“Old Wu, run!!”
Li Xiaoran could only shout in desperation.
Li Qingzheng, seeing Feng Lingxiao continuously closing the distance, had an ugly look on his face, but soon his eyes calmed down. He did not escape towards the city, but instead charged towards the tide of demons.
He knew, with this speed of pursuit, even if he ran towards the city, he would die regardless. There was no way out. Rather than that, it was better to kill more demons before dying.
“Third brother, looks like we are going to meet our end together.”
Li Qingzheng said.
Li Xuanyin, inhabiting his body, was now with a burning Divine Soul already about to fade, but he lightly sighed with a smile, “Yes, it’s a pity we couldn’t kill a couple more Demon Kings at the end, only these lesser grunts.”
“Let’s kill them in the next life, if there is one.”
Li Qingzheng said, then he plunged into the demon tide, instantly carving a huge bloody trench.
Feng Lingxiao caught up in an instant, raised the Xuanyu Heavy Tower, and smashed it down, intending to obliterate his Divine Soul completely!
Continue your saga on empire
But just then, a fearsome might of a punch roared down, striking the Xuanyu Heavy Tower and causing it to wobble slightly, deviating from its attack.
Li Muxiu, covered in blood, arrived at the scene, his robe already torn to shreds, the muscles on his arms appeared torn, blood continuously seeping out, and even the ribbon of the Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure in his hand was stained red.
“Second brother!”
Li Qingzheng, who had already braced himself for death, was shocked to see Li Muxiu catching up.
“Go quickly, join Old Fourth in recreating the flesh for our ancestor!”
Li Muxiu coughed up a mouthful of blood, transmitting his words with urgency, “I’ll hold them off for you!”
His face was fiery red, the surging Blood Qi within him uncontrollably appearing on his face. He had come rushing over after hearing Li Xiaoran’s call for help, noticing the situation with Li Qingzheng, not hesitating to come to his aid despite being injured.
Li Qingzheng, watching Li Muxiu’s blood-drenched figure, felt as though his heart might also explode with pain. His eyes reddened, but without another word, he bit down on his teeth and rushed towards the city.
“Second brother…”
Li Xuanyin, looking at the retreating figure of Li Muxiu, felt a chill in his heart, knowing that standing alone at half a step into the Tao Realm against two from the Grand Tao of Peace Realm was an impossible task to hold off!
“Don’t even think about escaping!”
Feng Lingxiao, enraged, directly extended his Dao Domain, intending to envelop Li Qingzheng within it.
But at that moment, Li Muxiu’s Dao Domain suddenly expanded, fiercely colliding against and blocking the assault, protecting Li Qingzheng.
“Dragon Absolute God, what are you doing!!”
Feng Lingxiao couldn’t help but roar.
Dragon Absolute God rushed over, his face also extremely grim. Facing Feng Lingxiao’s roar, he could only transfer his anger onto Li Muxiu. As a being from the Dao Domain, not only had he failed to kill Li Muxiu, but he had also allowed him to break free, which was utterly shameful!
Boom!
Dragon Absolute God swung his Extreme Dao Sword, with the sword shadows condensed one after another. The ten swords joined into one, forming the strongest beam of sword light, fiercely slashing towards Li Muxiu.
Li Muxiu had experienced this power before, and with a roar, he swung his fist again.
The Half-Step Invincible Fist combined with Dao Domain, for a fleeting moment, his Dao Domain seemed to enter a brief state of invincibility, actually suppressing that strongest Extreme Dao sword.
However, after suppressing that sword, as the state of invincibility faded, the backlash made his face turn even redder, with blood vessels filling his eyeballs, bloodshot and inflamed.
“Kill him!”
Feng Lingxiao also saw that Li Muxiu was at the end of his rope and struck out in anger.
In an instant, the two joined forces and fought against Li Muxiu.
When they first attacked the city, the two had joined up against Li Muxiu, who held them off with the help of an array. Now, each wielding a Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure, their killing power was even greater, and without the array to give Li Muxiu respite, they could attempt to kill him in one fell swoop!
Thump thump thump!
Their successive strikes shattered the thunderous radiance covering the sky, and the roaring force of their punches pulled the attention of everyone within the city to the battlefield.
Watching that aged figure standing alone against two from the Grand Tao of Peace Realm with only a Half-step Tao Realm, the eyes of the Li family were filled with bleakness.
They could only watch from a distance, utterly unable to intervene. Their attacks dissipated like dust within the Tao Realm, inflicting no harm at all.
Pfft, Li Muxiu spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his shattered clothes. The surging blood qi within his body could no longer be suppressed, seeping out from his mouth, nose, and ears.
In a desperate fight, his Unwithering Strength had long been exhausted. His weakened body was only supported by sheer willpower, battling on at the cost of his fracturing veins.
The blood seeping out of his eye sockets dyed his vision red, turning the world before him into a sea of blood.
Li Muxiu was just about to wipe it away when suddenly, a piercing Tao Realm tore through, devoid of the invincible power of Extreme Doctrine. Under the assault of two powerful Tao Realms, his own realm thinned and was abruptly attacked by Dragon Absolute God’s Tao Realm.
With a snapping sound, Li Muxiu’s arm was torn apart, along with the bloodied sleeve.
The severed arm, still wrapped in the Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure, was taken by Dragon Absolute God, who felt the rebellious Saint Heart Essence on it, immediately sealed it, and threw it into the Heaven and Earth Space.
Then, his eyes filled with the viciousness of a predator eyeing its prey, he stared at Li Muxiu:
“Now you have only one fist left, old dog, your time of death has come!”
Li Muxiu stood up, his body swaying on the verge of collapse, but the bleeding from his severed limb had stopped.
However, that was just the bleeding that stopped—there was no regeneration.
He no longer had the spare strength to regenerate his arm.
“One fist is enough—if I were in the Tao Realm, one punch would be enough to kill you!”
Li Muxiu slightly shook his head, flicking away the blood above his eyes. His face was now covered in blood, a picture of desolation, his arm severed, but his aged body still stood defiant in mid-air.
“To achieve this with a Half-step Tao Realm, indeed, your death would be honorable, but we won’t let you die honorably. I will dismember you entirely in front of your family, crush you bit by bit!”
Feng Lingxiao’s eyes were cold as ice. As he spoke, he suddenly struck out, the Xuanyu Heavy Tower brutally smashing down.
Li Muxiu suddenly turned around, his foot tracing a half-step, and with his only remaining hand, he clenched his fingers into a fist and struck out fiercely.
Thump!
For a moment, his Tao Realm also seemed invincible; without a Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure as a weapon, just a mortal flesh-and-blood fist slammed against the Xuanyu Heavy Tower.
The terrifying impact shook through the area. Li Muxiu’s body rapidly receded backward but did not fall—instead, he spewed another mouthful of blood.
At that moment, an ultimate sword edge suddenly attacked, cutting instantly into his Tao Realm. In the moment his invincible realm’s power waned, it pierced his defenses and struck his body.
In an instant, Li Muxiu felt lightness in his body, followed by a rending tear. Half of his body was severed, and it was the half that still had an arm.
The sharp Sword Qi brought with it a force that flipped his body, and he tumbled to the ground.
The last bit of strength in his body seemed to be carried away as well.
Li Muxiu looked at the dawn sun, gradually rising, shining on his face.
For a moment, it felt a bit too glaring.
So tired…
Father always said I was the least accomplished, and he was right…
To face such a tragic defeat before our ancestors… what a disgrace I’ve become…
A bitter smile crossed his lips as he thought of his elder brother, whose spirit had dissipated outside Heaven’s Gate. His bloodshot eyes slowly moistened.
In his mind, like a carousel of memories spinning by, figures flashed by: the woman he had let down, the child fishing by the lake, and old Feng…
“Second Master!!!”
Suddenly, a roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami erupted, traveling from the far horizon.
It seemed to carry the thunder of ten thousand storms, racing here like a clap of thunder, resonating through the skies above Qingzhou City, causing the war-torn city to buzz with its echo!!
