They knew that no matter how furiously they attacked, it was just a senseless march to death.
Only by surviving was there hope.
“It’s not interesting anymore, die.”
The purple-robed young man approached Emperor Yu and, seeing those defiant eyes, a hint of murderous intent surfaced in his own.
Suddenly, he lifted his foot, intending to stomp mercilessly on his head and crush those eyeballs!
Swoosh!
But abruptly, a loud whistling sound came racing through the air.
Carrying formidable momentum from a hundred miles away, it pierced through the heavens and earth, surpassed the high walls of the Imperial Palace, and smashed fiercely toward the purple-robed young man.
The purple-robed young man’s eyes turned slightly cold, and he withdrew his foot, waving it away with his hand.
Boom!!
A burst of power suddenly erupted from his palm, impacting the demon corpse that was like a cannonball.
The demon corpse, having revealed its half-original form, was dozens of yards long, like a small hill; it charged rapidly like a meteor, exuding a tremendous sense of oppression.
But now, as the power burst from the purple-robed young man’s palm, the corpse exploded into pieces, blood spraying and splattering across the sky.
The five figures in midair manifested their Dao Power, shielding themselves from the splattered blood, not a drop touching them.
However, elsewhere, it rained blood from the heavens.
Chunks of flesh fell, and the exploded blood mingled with the blood rain, dyeing the entire square around the purple-robed young man crimson.
This sudden and startling change stunned everyone at the scene, including Li Muxiu and others filled with grief and despair.
However, the first to react was a Demon Sheep Venerable elder, who had been standing at the edge of the battlefield, silently watching like an old servant.
He heard the whistling sound and clearly saw the demon corpse that shot rapidly; that was, unmistakably, Lei Ji’s body!
How could this be?
Stunned, the Demon Sheep Venerable quickly looked in that direction, only to see a young man’s figure, already crossing a hundred miles, stepping over the severely battered Imperial City, arriving in front of the Imperial Palace they controlled.
He had eyes cold to the extreme, so icy it seemed devoid of emotions, merely staring at the people in purple robes and others inside the palace. He didn’t even spare a glance at the only demon in the vicinity, the Demon Sheep Venerable elder.
The Demon Sheep Venerable was taken aback but quickly came to his senses, his eyes revealing shock.
Although it was the first time he had seen Li Hao, such a young man with such a unique and extraordinary temperament could only be that deeply detested youth!
When did he arrive, and how had he not detected his presence at all?
How did Lei Ji and the others… die?
The Demon Sheep Venerable’s Divine Thought rapidly extended and he immediately saw that, apart from Lei Ji, the Dark Night Demon Emperor was also dead!
Before dying, these two Enlightened Truth Realm beings hadn’t made a single noise?
The Demon Sheep Venerable was stunned, finding it unbelievable.
At this moment, those on the square also turned their attention and when they saw Li Hao, many wore puzzled expressions, apparently seeing him for the first time and not recognizing him.
But they reacted quickly. Such youth, such a presence, looking across the entire Dayu Divine Dynasty, there was only one person.
The Haotian General!
Was it him?
Many were shocked; in such a perilous and desperate moment, he didn’t choose to flee but came to reinforce at the risk of his own life?
“Hao Er!”
Li Muxiu couldn’t help but cry out upon seeing Li Hao.
He never expected Li Hao to truly come, but the situation here was a hundred times worse than Qingzhou City. This time it was not the Demon Kings from the Grand Tao of Peace Realm but the top monsters from the Tao Comprehension Realm!
Xia Linglong, Xia Yuanwu, and others were also stunned before their expressions abruptly changed, and they shouted loudly,
“Run away!”
“Haotian General, run!”
They had previously endured humiliation and frustration because there was still hope in their hearts.
That hope was Li Hao.
As long as Li Hao lived, it was certain that Dayu could quickly be recovered in time.
Even if the living beings were devastated, it was better than being wiped out entirely.
But now, Li Hao had come.
Besides Xia Linglong and others who anxiously shouted, the other members of the Royal Family who realized Li Hao’s identity immediately became tense.
They had heard of this youth’s many legends; although he was strong, he was still too young, just sixteen years old. Even if he could match Master Qin, he was no match for these six people.
Moreover, since the beginning, these six had seemed relaxed and casual, not having used their full strength at all.
“Damn it, what are you doing here, who let you come, run!”
In the crowd, Li Tian Gang saw Li Hao and his face suddenly changed color, he couldn’t help but roar in a mix of alarm and fury.
“Want to leave? You came all this way, now it’ll be difficult to leave.”
“It seems an interesting fellow has come.”
“Hey, my Purple Ultimate Pupil Divine Skills can’t even see through his aura.”
The positions of the five in midair slightly shifted, stealthily blocking Li Hao’s retreat.
They all were examining Li Hao, their eyes filled with keen interest.
Li Hao ignored the anxious calls of Xia Linglong and others towards him. From the moment he arrived at the Imperial Palace Square, his gaze had always been on the old man drenched in blood.
Both the man’s hands and feet had been broken, lying limply in a pool of blood.
Yet not long ago, that man was in that small fenced courtyard, chatting and playing chess with him.
A mere blink of time had passed…
Li Hao said softly, “Can you let them go?”
The purple-robed young man revealed a smile, “On what grounds? Just because of you? It seems you still don’t understand the situat—”
With a swoosh, suddenly, Li Hao vanished from his sight!
Instant movement?
But there was no Daoist Charm!
The purple-robed young man was slightly taken aback, a premonition of alarm rising in his heart mixed with a trace of horror.
At the same time, a terrifying fist power suddenly struck from the side of his body, its dreadful force compressing half the air into an arc of light.
