Among them was a Demon from Liangzhou, Monarch Bai.
At this moment, he had finally regained his senses, though his appearance had changed, the feeling was unmistakable.
That youth… It was the terrifying youth from Liangzhou!
“It’s Haotian, the Haotian General!!”
Monarch Bai’s eyes revealed fear, but more so, they reflected despair.
During the battle in Liangzhou, he had experienced the youth’s power from outside the gates, and choosing not to join in the final battle to gang up on the youth had saved his life.
But now, the youth had returned, and he had become even more terrifying; his growth was beyond imagination!
Their Palace Master had been suppressed, as had the Dragon God of Gragon Gate.
Furthermore, Monarch Bai had recognized the Candle Flame God, the master of the Great Void Realm, obediently standing by the youth’s side, seemingly having submitted to him.
“Run!!”
Driven by a strong will to survive, Monarch Bai screamed in desperation, turning to escape without caring about any other demons or his status as an elder of the Holy Palace. He just wanted to flee.
To escape from this place, from Qingzhou, from Dayu!
Monarch Bai’s cries of horror and despair also brought other Demon Kings back to their senses, all of them deeply shaken.
Haotian!
Since the battle in Liangzhou, among the demons, this name was as startling as thunder!
It was practically a reflex!
It was that Haotian of the Human Race, that monstrously powerful War God youth!
“He, he was supposed to be dead…”
Some Demon Kings, staring at the gathering Sword Qi filling the skies, feeling the immense Qi Force vast as an abyss, seemed to lose even the courage to flee.
The news of the youth’s demise had long been spread by the Li Family, and they were well aware.
But how could they explain this scene before them, as if bewitched?
There was no answer.
Only the increasingly dense Sword Qi seemed to be countless eyes coldly looking down upon the numerous Demons.
As the Demon Kings fled, the Sword Qi also instantly flew down, chasing them with unbelievable speed.
The Sword Qi flew like rain, forming into dragons and launching an assault on the escaping Demon Kings.
Monarch Bai knew Li Hao’s attacks were tricky; he did not dare to resist physically. Roaring, he exerted all his strength, revealed his true body, and used Demon Art to try to destroy these Sword Qi.
But the Sword Qi formed into a sword dragon, its demeanor far fiercer than any he had faced in Liangzhou; with the sword dragon’s long fangs and claws roaring towards him, it immediately shredded his Demon Art, striking him directly.
Monarch Bai’s pupils constricted as he suddenly realized a terrifying fact: the youth’s attacks were extremely tricky and untouchable, but now the youth had stepped into the Four Stands Realm and the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, naturally mastering the Daoist Charm of Tao Heart Realm.
That meant once targeted, the attack was bound to hit. Find exclusive stories on empire
Unless he could break the Daoist Charm!
But obviously, although he was capable of doing so, it was a huge drain of energy. Once or twice was manageable, but these Sword Qi were too numerous to count and impossible to block entirely!
Most importantly, within this vast battlefield, within this torrent of Sword Qi, the youth could actually make every Sword Qi coerce the Daoist Charm, how terrifying was that Divine Thought?!
Boom!
The Sword Qi struck on the body like raindrops, Monarch Bai screamed in rage, the Sword Qi tore his flesh, not yet deadly, but his struggling and screaming did not last long before it felt as if someone suddenly yanked his spine away.
As if the Soul was hooked away, the strength in his body rapidly faded away.
“I…”
Monarch Bai’s eyes widened, losing their luster, filled with intense unwillingness and fear. Once again, he experienced the terror from that young man’s attack.
But he no longer had a chance to defy his fate.
With a splash!
As Monarch Bai’s body fell, the situations of other Demon Kings were mostly the same. In mid-air, chased by a dragon composed of Sword Qi, they soon plummeted to their deaths, devoid of breath.
The elders of the two demonic forces, for whom the entire Li Family, including their ancestors, had once fought at the cost of burning their souls, were now like panicked flies, scrambling to escape but falling one by one. No one could escape the reach of that young man’s attack. Approaching the edges of the city only welcomed fiercer assaults!
These previously supreme Demon Kings were now screaming in agony as they fell. Some directly pleaded with Li Hao, willing to submit under his command, serving Li Hao like slaves, but still, they could not escape being slain.
A rain of swords, a bloodbath, left all those who had fought for their cause utterly stunned.
The names called by these Demon Kings were also thunderous to them.
Some who had been unsure before were now completely certain of that young man’s identity.
“Hao Er…” He Jianlan and others teared up, eyes moistening.
Never had they expected that Li Hao would return to rescue them at their most dire moment.
The youth who had once left the Li Family had now, with his own strength, saved the entire city of Qingzhou.
At this moment, outside the city, the Demon Tide continued its relentless attack. The demons at the front were paralyzed with fear, but those at the back, not sensing as far, still obeyed orders to charge.
Li Hao’s eyes swept across calmly, and then, with the Sword Qi that he condensed in his hand, he swung it towards the distance.
It seemed like a casual flick, but the Sword Qi was vast and dominant, pulled by the Daoist Charm, and turned into a sky-high sword gleam that cut down into the massive Demon Tide waiting outside the city.
This sword seemed like a finger pressed down by a Heavenly God, the Demon Tide like ants, instantly pressed into a trench. The ground cracked, and where the Sword Qi swept through, numerous demons were slaughtered, some entirely annihilated.
The released Sword Qi didn’t dissipate but turned into countless sword lights that shot into the Demon Tide, swiftly traversing.
Boom, boom, boom…
The figures of demons, not having time to react, were penetrated by the Sword Qi, their Divine Souls obliterated.
This Demon Tide, spanning dozens of miles, visibly collapsed under these flying sword lights.
Li Hao then withdrew his hand, his gaze landing on the two demon leaders lying prostrate on the ground in front of him.
“Don’t, don’t kill me, I can serve as your mount too!”
Feng Lingxiao hurriedly said.
The Dao Domain suppressing him made him feel like a chick on a chopping block, powerless to resist.
The Dragon Absolute God, however, clenched his teeth. As a Dragon God who had cultivated for ten thousand years, he had an extreme desire for life, but his Dragon Clan’s dignity did not permit him to degrade himself.
“Even if you kill me, my Tianyuan Dragon Clan will never let you go.”
The Dragon Absolute God stared at Li Hao, knowing that begging would at best earn him a fate similar to a mount. Rather than living a lingering life in agony, he preferred to die with his head held high.
Not all beings could bow and scrape before death.
“You’re plotting against the Dayu Divine Dynasty; someone must be behind this.”
Li Hao looked down at them, his eyes cold and devoid of emotion, saying, “Who gave you the courage to take such a desperate gamble?”
Feng Lingxiao hurriedly said, “I’ll tell you, it was the Three Desolate God forcing us to do this. Our Holy Palace was originally at peace with the Dayu Divine Dynasty, having an agreement with the previous Emperor thousands of years ago to not invade each other’s territory. We were forced.”
“The Three Desolate God?”
Li Hao’s eyes flickered slightly. When he had spread his Dao Domain earlier, he had caught a trace of an odd power in the air, a genuine Dao Power, which he had felt before on a person from the Ji Family in the Tao Comprehension Realm.
To manipulate these top demon forces, and to render a True Person from the Gan Tao Palace as still as death, they surely must also be in the Tao Comprehension Realm.
