The City Falls
Blood trickled from the corner of Zen Sea Observing Mist's mouth; he had killed recklessly and paid the price.
The Hundred Prisons Wind Chime could not completely block the power of the Five Strings of Sound of Heaven and Earth. The five shockwaves struck her body, injuring her fragile flesh.
"Boom!"
In the previous exchange, Zen Sea Observing Mist only had a small portion of its power controlling Lei Ji Zhuo, while the Demon Country Crown Prince had already escaped.
The Demon Country Crown Prince used the Cloud Hidden Immortal Gate for close-range protection and the Starry Sky Immortal Gate for long-range defense. Then, he manipulated the Wind and Thunder Immortal Gate to smash into the western part of Lingxiao City, hoping to force Zen Sea Observing Mist to abandon his fight against Li Longshu and Crimson Phoenix and rush to the city to rescue them.
But he miscalculated!
Zen Sea Observing Mist was not swayed by his tactics at all; her resolve to kill Li Longshu and Crimson Phoenix remained firm. If she did not eliminate Chao Ran as many as possible, she would be unable to attend to all sides.
Moreover, if the enemy discovers a flaw in their mental state, the people within Lingxiao City will truly face annihilation.
"Boom!"
The Wind and Thunder Immortal Gate smashed the western city wall, causing it to collapse for more than twenty miles.
In the three districts closest to the city wall, all Defensive Formation were shattered and all buildings collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of civilians within the city, even Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator, died instantly on the spot.
The power of a full-force attack from Demon Country Crown Prince's caliber is unimaginable.
Of course, if the City Protection Array were intact and not breached by Luantai, Qilin Platform had not been attacked, it could have withstood the attack. The secret duel before the battle could only be described as a 50/50 affair.
Without the efforts of Li Weiyi, the Jiu Li Hidden Gate, Zuoqiu Courtyard, the West Sea Slaves Veteran, and Yao Qingxuan, the current situation would not exist.
The Wind and Thunder Immortal Gate, a hundred feet tall, stands atop the ruins of the western city, its roar of wind and thunder deafening.
The wind is like a heavenly blade, and the thunder transforms into a hundred beasts.
The power of wind and thunder spread into the city like a tsunami.
"Whoosh!"
The Imperial Court official, with unwavering Chen Su, emerged from hiding and appeared on the main street of the western city closest to the Wind and Thunder Immortal Gate. He carried the power of thirty-six earth veins to resist the overwhelming wind and thunder forces pouring into the city.
Above each of the wards, the Provincial Governor's Official Seal flew towards the western city, forming a magnificent defensive embankment.
Zen Sea Observing Mist used her mental power to draw upon the power of the broken City Protection Array. Instantly, countless Formation Script, aurora, and lightning twisted into a tornado, which followed her down from the sky and crashed straight towards the Luan Terrace.
"Boom!"
The nine-hundred-foot-high Luan Terrace was pierced through by a single blow, causing large sections of the mountain to collapse.
Zen Sea Observing Mist intends to personally destroy the palace complex she herself built.
The Second Palace Master on the summit of Luantai Mountain broke free from the suppression of the Nine Heavens Beyond the Clouds Great Formation and escaped before Luantai collapsed.
The Demon Country Crown Prince, halfway up the mountain, carrying two immortal gates, flew towards the western city.
More than 20 li of the western city wall collapsed, and the foundation of the City Protection Array was severely damaged, resulting in a huge gap.
Zen Sea Observing Mist traversed space, relentlessly pursuing, giving the Demon Country Crown Prince no chance to kill Chen Su. The Void Sword in his hand vibrated, its cries growing sharper with each strike.
"Whoosh!"
"Boom!"
The Second Palace Master and Madam Ye, one on the left and one on the right, swooped down to pursue Zen Sea Observing Mist, forming a triangular formation with the Demon Country Crown Prince.
"Master, you wouldn't just watch Lingxiao City turn into a dead city; you have compassion. You can fool everyone else, but you can't fool me."
The Second Palace Master's body was submerged by a circle of Buddhist light and a River of the Underworld. Only two swords could be seen in his hands, his imposing aura shattering all the array power unleashed by the Duke Taishi and the Third Palace Master.
Madam Ye drove her chariot downwards, the sound of the wheels indistinguishable from thunder. The strings of the Rebirth Zither played the sounds of battlefield carnage; though she was alone in her chariot, she possessed the imposing presence of a million-strong army.
Zen Sea Observing Mist swung his left arm backward, and from the center of the City Protection Array's vortex, the Lei Ji Zhuo out, carrying the power of the array and the energy of Supreme Magic Tool, transforming into a giant bracelet with a diameter of one mile.
"Boom!"
Lightning illuminates all directions.
Lei Ji Zhuo and rolled away, flying into the sky and crushing the murderous sounds of the Rebirth Zither, as if splitting heaven and earth in two.
"Bang! Bang..."
The twelve Defensive Formation that Madam Ye had erected inside the carriage were all breached.
The vehicle was Lei Ji Zhuo flying high into the sky, where it shattered and exploded.
"Puff!"
Madam Ye was a mind mage, and her physical body was relatively weak. After suffering this attack, half of her body was shattered, leaving only her chest and abdomen.
She held the Rebirth Zither in her arms, looked at her lower body which had turned into a bloody mist, and let out a sharp scream.
"Whoosh!"
The Void Sword, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, flew in from below, splitting Madam Ye's upper body in two, Glabella Spiritual Realm shattered in the process.
The spirit realm, this inner world, collapsed and vanished into space.
This powerful figure, who lived during the same era as Zen Sea Observing Mist, ultimately died in the Lingxiao Shengjing, leaving no trace of his remains.
The Demon Country Crown Prince glanced at the sky, his brows furrowed. He felt that the Zen Sea Observing Mist was incredibly fierce and powerful, and that the Demon Prince would stop at nothing to kill his opponent.
Being an opponent of such a person requires a lot of courage and composure.
The Demon Country Crown Prince landed on the Wind and Thunder Immortal Gate standing amidst the ruins of the city. With his back to the shattered city walls and the Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain, he turned to look at the Zen Sea Observing Mist that had caught up. "Without the Void Sword and the Lei Ji Zhuo, aren't you just courting death by chasing after me?"
The Zen Sea Observing Mist continued without pause.
"Hidden clouds, wind and thunder, stars."
The Demon Country Crown Prince immediately mobilized the power of the three immortal sects, unleashing his Holy Fist, which was fierce, domineering, and infinitely powerful.
He didn't believe that Zen Sea Observing Mist's fragile physical body would dare to fight him head-on without relying on the power of Supreme Magic Tool.
Zen Sea Observing Mist, protected by the Hundred Prisons Wind Chime, unleashed a palm strike to clash with the Demon Country Crown Prince, breaking through the three immortal gates with three different powers, and advancing to his immediate vicinity.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Fists and palms clashed, body movements shifted.
Space trembled, like two demon gods were fighting.
In an instant, Zen Sea Observing Mist's arms shattered into white bones. His right hand, with its five skeletal fingers, struck the Demon Country Crown Prince in the chest with a metallic clang that resounded for miles.
"Boom!"
The Demon Country Crown Prince's four-colored immortal armor was dented in the chest area, and his body was sent flying dozens of miles away, crashing outside Lingxiao City.
After he steadied himself, he lowered his legs, spread his arms wide, and channeled his inner energy like a surging river, with layers of vast demonic clouds spreading out from beneath his feet.
Zen Sea Observing Mist arrived like a red lightning bolt again, the white skeletal right arm, two fingers pinching a sword, piercing the dent in the chest armor of the Demon Country Crown Prince, then retracting the fingers into a palm, and pressing out again with a palm strike.
That's too fast!
The Demon Country Crown Prince could see her moves, but he couldn't block them.
It was her mental power that suppressed his soul and will.
With a slower reaction time, it's naturally impossible to stop it.
"Bang!"
The Demon Country Crown Prince was sent flying more than three hundred miles away, carving a canyon in the Immortal Plains. Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, and blood also flowed from the shattered armor on his chest.
The two fingers that Zen Sea Observing Mist previously used pierced through his chest.
Unable to pursue, Zen Sea Observing Mist struck the Demon Country Crown Prince with a palm strike, but was also struck in the back by the Second Palace Master, who arrived from behind.
Her red dress and the Hundred Prisons Wind Chime blocked the sword.
But it couldn't withstand the shockwave of that sword strike.
Zen Sea Observing Mist was bleeding from all seven orifices, his chest and back were covered in bloody cracks, and his entire body's spiritual energy was in complete chaos.
The Second Palace Master was extremely decisive. With another sword in his hand, imbued with the power of lightning, he cleaved straight for the neck of Zen Sea Observing Mist.
"Whoosh!"
Zen Sea Observing Mist shifted his figure, flashed away, his steps unsteady, and with his back to the ruins of the Lingxiao City behind him, he waved his finger and used his mental power to mobilize the thirty-six earth veins, causing them to twist into thirty-six earth dragons, which bombarded the Second Palace Master.
The Second Palace Master slashed with his sword and parried with his own.
Unstoppable!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Second Palace Master's defenses were shattered by the power of the thirty-six earth veins, and she was sent flying backward. Her flesh and blood were continuously worn away, and her bones broke one by one, as she was pushed and rubbed against the ground for thousands of miles to the south.
Lord Lan descended from the sky with a lantern, severing the thirty-six ley lines of the earth in an attack.
The Second Palace Master, wielding two swords, slowly stood up, now a blood-soaked figure. After swallowing an Emperor Medicine, he said, "Her bones are those of the Martial Path Son of Heaven, but her flesh and Qi Sea are all newly formed; this is her greatest weakness."
"Furthermore, she must have only recently obtained the two Other Shore Heavenly Pills from her senior sister, and hasn't fully mastered them yet. Her internal energy is not entirely under her control."
"Attack her internal organs and ancestral energy, shatter her new body, and disrupt her magical energy."
Zen Sea Observing Mist stood beneath the collapsed city wall of the western city, retrieved the Lei Ji Zhuo and the Void Sword, and secretly circulated his internal energy to regulate his breathing. He could already hear the cry of the Azure Phoenix in the western sky.
Using her telepathic powers, she transmitted her thoughts to the Duke Taishi and the Third Palace Master: "Open the North City, let as many people as you can leave. I will intercept all enemies to the south. The North Heaven Gate is guarded by Xue Jian Tang Ting, it is the only way out."
"Xiao Zhang, you stay in the city and do your best to repair the formation. Cong Er, go and help Huo Di, together you will preside over the Immortal Plain Great Formation, hold it for as long as you can."
To the east of Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain.
The sun gradually rises.
Sunlight shone on the three-thousand-foot-high cliff of Xianyuan, causing the array's light screen to reflect a golden brilliance.
The county town, where the blood sacrifice took place, is 280 li away from the cliffs of Xianyuan.
Marquis Divine Wing stood atop the tallest watchtower in the county town, gazing out 150 miles away, his golden eyes filled with murderous intent.
Far away.
The young man in the purple official robe, wielding a strange spear, intercepted Luo Tian.
The three Blood Wing Clan elders carrying battle flags were forced to turn back and attack.
The Wind Chasing Beast flew into the city, severely injured, and lay down on an open ground, using its telekinesis to report its experience to Marquis Divine Wing.
Enraged, Marquis Divine Wing took out a two-meter-long Thousand Character Artifact, the Ice Soul Bow.
No arrows!
He locked his mind on Li Weiyi, drew back the bowstring, and gathered his life-giving energy on the bowstring, condensing it into an icy arrow.
"Boom!"
The air above the entire county town seemed to vibrate.
The icy arrows trailed long tails as they flew across 150 miles.
The moment Li Weiyi was targeted by the opponent's will, she sensed the danger and immediately fled to avoid it. The icy arrows, controlled by the Marquis Divine Wing's will, did not travel in a straight line, but always targeted Li Weiyi.
At the last moment, Li Weiyi transformed into Purple Mist Light Cluster, traversed space, and hid inside the Formation Disk erected by the three Blood Wing Clan Old Man.
"Boom!"
The icy arrows flew past the Formation Disk and struck the ground.
In the mountains and forests, a path of arrow-shaped ice crystals, stretching for several miles, appeared.
Even if it just flies by, the energy released by the arrow will tear the Formation Disk apart.
"Swish!"
Taking this opportunity, Li Weiyi cast three Immobilization Talisman, which landed on three Blood Wing Clan Old Man at the Sixth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm.
He summoned the Yellow Dragon Sword, his figure shifted, and he became a series of afterimages. In front of that Demon Kingdom's Longevity Realm Giants, he beheaded all three Old Man in just one breath.
Li Weiyi stood on the knee-deep snow, a spear in one hand and a blood-stained sword in the other. Looking towards the distant county town shrouded in blood mist, he shouted, "You can't kill me, even though we're 150 li apart!"
The next instant, Li Weiyi chased after Luo Tian, Young Marquis, who was a mile away.
At the beginning of the month, I'm begging for monthly votes, please, please...
