Desperate Struggle

Cheng Shifei's golden light seemed to solidify into Buddha's Hand, clutching her body as his true qi continuously battered Liers, leaving her unable to defend herself from both ends.

Duan Tianya gathered his sword intent. Cold glints surged as the incomparably sharp Sword of True Qi pierced through the droplets.

But he was still a moment too late. Liers evaded the vital point, and the sword pierced her shoulder.

Duan Tianya pulled back his sword, spraying blood, then turned and left. He had to go—Guihai Yidao's ultimate move was coming.

Seeing the Blood-Colored Great Saber above him, Cheng Shifei, who had just embraced Beauty, looked thoroughly indignant.

"Guihai Yidao, fuck your uncle."

That slash had included Cheng Shifei as well.

The Vajra Phantom around Cheng Shifei grew even brighter. Sensing the saber intent brimming with killing intent, Liers tried to break free and dodge.

But Cheng Shifei's Vajra Phantom forcibly restrained her, leaving her unable to move.

"No!"

Liers looked at the blood-red saber shadow before her, terror on her face as she let out an enraged roar!

Her internal organs had already been injured by Zhu Wushi's true qi, and she had also taken a Shaolin Flower-Picking Finger. She was severely wounded. Then Duan Tianya's sword had pierced her, its sword intent ravaging the wound. She could not block this move.

The blood-red true qi saber descended, landing between the hands of Cheng Shifei's Vajra Phantom. The Vajra shadow and the Blood-Colored Great Saber looked as though one had laid down the butcher's knife and attained Buddhahood on the spot.

Rampaging saber qi collided with the two men's protective qi and true qi. For a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere.

Liers and Cheng Shifei were blasted backward, and their embrace was finally broken apart.

Cheng Shifei sat on the ground, shook his head, and rose to his feet. The golden light around him still shone brilliantly, but Guihai Yidao's slash had destroyed the Vajra Phantom.

He pointed at Guihai Yidao with his right index finger and wagged it, but in the end said nothing and lowered his hand again.

The entire exchange had taken place in an instant. Three Tigers Seven Fiends were dumbfounded. Holy shit, that worked too?

Brother, how deep is your grudge against the Little Golden Man? You even slashed him along with her.

When they saw Cheng Shifei still able to stand, their eyes widened. Bro, she was already down, but you were still standing?

Without Liers, Aobei could no longer hold his own against Zhu Wushi alone.

Especially after seeing an Ascension Realm expert like Liers, even while severely wounded, fail to last three seconds against three Dharma Aspects, his mentality had completely collapsed.

Still, Liers could not really be blamed. Leaving aside the fact that Zhu Wushi had already gravely wounded her.

Cheng Shifei's Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill, combined with his innate metal attribute, was no weaker in defense than an Ascension Realm expert.

Then there was Duan Tianya's Illusion Sword Ninjutsu and Guihai Yidao's Heartless Mad Demon saber intent.

Which of those three was not among the best in their realm?

And they worked together flawlessly. Right from the start, they unleashed a ruthless three-hit combo, directly beating her senseless.

By the time Liers reacted, it was already too late.

Liers lay on the ground, coughing blood without end. She was beyond saving.

Zhu Wushi and Cheng Shifei's true qi, Duan Tianya's sword intent, and her own true qi all erupted at the instant Guihai Yidao's saber shadow fell.

With her strength, and her severe injuries, she could no longer suppress them. She could no longer even feel pain.

At the brink of death, she seemed to return to the Divine Kingdom and see the Pope again. Thinking of the mission that had brought them to Dagan, she murmured, "The Divine Court is eternal."

With that, she breathed her last.

Aobei sensed Liers's death with his divine consciousness, but there was nothing he could do. He could not defeat them alone, nor could he escape.

True qi surged around Aobei as he exchanged a palm strike with Zhu Wushi. His figure retreated, barely managing to open some distance between them.

Behind him, Cheng Shifei, Duan Tianya, Three Tigers Seven Fiends, and the others surrounded him.

Aobei sensed them but did not care. He had no intention of leaving, and he could not leave anyway.

If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!

Aobei took a blood-red pill from his robes, swallowed it directly, and roared.

"The Divine Court is eternal!"

Protective qi surged around him as he fired several streams of true qi, blocking Zhu Wushi's assault.

Before long, Aobei's eyes turned red, and blood-colored patterns emerged across his face. His aura became nearly crazed as blood-red mist filled the air around him and his true qi turned violent.

The palm-sized Crucifix Dharma Aspect above his head also swelled to the size of a person, resembling a cross. Several bloodstains appeared on it, making it look extremely sinister.

Second Brother White Tiger of the Three Tiger was a voluptuous woman, curvaceous and devastatingly seductive.

Seeing the blood-red markings on Aobei's face, Baihu's expression turned grave. "Huosha, that's a Blood Pill, isn't it?"

Huosha looked at the crazed Aobei with disgust in his eyes. "Not an ordinary Blood Pill. Even Blood Spirit Pills are useless against Ascension Realm experts. Only Crimson Great Pills can affect Ascension Realm experts."

At those words, everyone's expressions changed. Blood Pills were secret medicines refined from humans by the heretical Blood Lotus Sect. A Crimson Great Pill represented the anguished wails of tens of thousands of living souls.

Looks like getting things done still required popping pills. After taking the drug, Aobei became absurdly fierce.

For a time, even Zhu Wushi could barely keep up. He could only open some distance, retreat continuously, and wear him down from range.

The main problem was the blood mist surrounding Aobei. It was simply too strange and troublesome.

Even Zhu Wushi's Great Absorption Technique, which devoured like a black hole, could not swallow and refine that blood mist. If he got close, the strands of blood-red qi clung to Zhu Wushi's true qi like maggots on bone, slowly corroding his body.

With an enraged roar, a golden figure dozens of meters tall appeared behind Aobei. Holy and purifying—those were the first impressions it gave.

The crucifix Dharma Aspect instantly appeared in the humanoid phantom's hands.

One of the Divine Court's ultimate techniques—

Judgment!

As true qi continuously poured into it, the once-holy figure was affected by the blood mist as well, becoming covered in blood-red color and incomparably evil.

Aobei looked at Zhu Wushi with venom in his eyes. "Die!"

But this move was not aimed at Zhu Wushi. It was aimed at Cheng Shifei, Duan Tianya, and the others.

Sensing the terrifying true qi, a massive Vajra dozens of meters tall appeared behind Cheng Shifei, golden light shining all over its body. He shouted loudly.

"Fuck, it's coming for us! Run!"

True qi surged from Zhu Wushi's palms, and the surrounding earth cracked apart inch by inch.

A small mountain seventy or eighty meters tall rose from the ground and was held in Zhu Wushi's hands. His true qi continuously poured into it.

Then he punched the small mountain toward the phantom, sending it crashing straight into the blood-red shadow.

With a booming explosion, ripples spread through the air from the collision of true qi. The shockwaves ravaged everything in their path, reducing the surroundings to rubble. The violent true qi seemed unstoppable.

Although the Little Golden Man and the others had moved away somewhat, the residual true qi still left their faces pale. Huosha and the others, who were somewhat weaker, had blood seep from the corners of their mouths.

The Little Golden Man, who had shielded everyone behind him, now had golden light flickering unsteadily around his body, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

While Zhu Wushi was channeling his power, Aobei had already attacked from behind. His hair had turned gray, and he was filled with the aura of death.

The Crimson Great Pill's effect of burning away his life to increase his cultivation was slowly fading. The blood mist around him was gradually dispersing. Before long, he would die.

Yet his gaze remained crazed. True qi condensed in his right hand, brimming with blood-red light, as he clenched his fist and struck at Zhu Wushi's back.

Zhu Wushi had long noticed him. Turning around, he formed a claw with his hand as protective qi swirled around it. One hand seized Aobei's fist, while the other claw flashed with cold light, pierced through his protective qi, and struck directly at his throat.

Zhu Wushi crushed his throat, killing him.

Turning around, Zhu Wushi looked toward the mountain path they had taken to get here, a mountain road paved with bluestone and lined with elegantly carved stone pillars.

Now, as far as the eye could see, it was nothing but ruins.

Zhu Wushi's expression darkened as he looked at Duan Tianya. "Tianya, I'll leave those four to you. Find out their purpose."

Duan Tianya lowered his head in acknowledgment. Three Tigers Seven Fiends and the others looked at Zhu Wushi with a trace of admiration. The man was fierce!

As expected, Your Highness had no shortage of talented subordinates.
