Fierce Battle

In the void, the war Unreturning Disciples and Human Path began.

At that moment, Li Qi, having also sensed the fluctuation, began to take action.

He and Shen Shuibi had not communicated beforehand, but sensing the enormous fluctuations that swept across the entire world, anyone would know that someone was attempting a thorough search of that place.

Without a doubt, it must be Shen Shuibi. She is Human Path's attention and forcing Human Path to commit more resources to defend against her.

This might force Shen Shuibi to fight against many fifth-rank officials at the same time, but she has no choice but to do so.

Then we can't waste Shen Shuibi's actions. Li Qi immediately abandoned many defensive positions and then pushed forward fiercely!

They don't care about casualties or the gains and losses on the world stage; those are all trivial matters!

The goal is to keep the Human Path force tied up here, preventing them from returning to defend, so that the Human Path will have to divert its reserve forces to deal with the trouble caused by Shen Shuibi.

Once the reserve forces have been largely mobilized, and Shen Shuibi's situation remains unresolved, the Human Path will have to make a choice between the rear and the front lines.

Regardless of their choice, Li Qi is confident he can make them suffer.

Once the decision is made to divert Shen Shuibi's forces, the situation will be dire, and the Nexus of All Realms will be threatened if the rear is in turmoil.

However, if forces from the front lines are diverted, Li Qi will absolutely not hesitate to gather all his troops at all costs and launch a direct frontal assault!

Doesn't Human Path have the advantage of high-quality personnel?

Let's try taking on a thousand men by ourselves! Let's see if we can win!

As Li Qi made his move, countless worlds echoed in unison. On the front lines of the battlefield, every world received Li Qi's frenzied orders!

Forward, forward! Keep moving forward!

Counterattack into the light zone! All logistical supplies are no longer needed; all reserves are deployed to the battlefield!

Break through the lines of Human Path and bring the flames of war to their War Fortress. We cannot allow our world to be the only one to be ravaged by war!

The enemy has no reinforcements! The intense fluctuation just now was the hidden power of the Shaman Path's forces infiltrating the enemy's rear!

It's an opportunity!

Li Qi's orders were transmitted through the 'alliance' to the ears of one realm lord after another.

At the same time--

Shen Shuibi, who was split in two, did not bleed.

Human Path Cavalry General's pupils dilated instantly, and he abruptly pulled back!

But it was too late.

Shen Shuibi's body, which had been split in two, was suddenly suspended in the air.

This was a sacrifice. She used herself as a sacrifice. Her split body formed a '' character, which looked extremely terrifying!

Blood flowed out and gradually turned into a small river.

The Cavalry General retreated explosively, disappearing a million miles away in a flash, and then—

He found himself suddenly standing in front of Shen Shuibi.

No, it was Shen Shuibi who followed him closely and came in front of him!

Seeing this, the Cavalry General suddenly raised his hand, his Zhanmadao radiating intense Sha Qi, and roared, "Hah!"

He swung his sword! The force was so powerful it could split mountains and seas, shattering countless surging waves of energy—it was unstoppable!

He had already sensed the Sha Qi emanating from Shen Shuibi as the 'Mao Sacrifice'.

Unfortunately, this Sha Qi had no effect on him!

He was a fifth-rank Cavalry General who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Shen Shuibi, a mere scholar who pounded medicine, was not worthy of playing the Sha Qi with him.

Trying to teach a fish to swim!

As the blade of the Zhanmadao sword was unleashed, the sound of drums echoed across the sea, and the Soldier's Qi surged into the clouds. Instantly, a murderous and Sha Qi erupted, condensing into a Dharma image, like a person wielding a sword and shield!

That image of the deity did not have a human form.

The formation of the image is like a battlefield of a hundred battles, where people gather like ants, and the Soldier's Qi is connected like melon vines. The troops chase each other, and the ranks clash. The Soldier's Qi of the five elements is like a canopy in the sky, connected and gathered. At first glance, it seems that hundreds of millions of soldiers are coming! It is as if the sky has opened up, from the northwest to the southeast, and there are mixed colors of green and yellow inside, rumbling like the collapse of the sea!

His murderous Sha Qi of annihilating countless worlds, suddenly erupted, forming a Dharma form while simultaneously attempting to break through the sacrificial altar constructed by Shen Shuibi!

But at the same time, the surroundings were filled with blood, and the blood had completely enveloped the image of the Cavalry General.

A sacrificial site has taken shape.

His Zhanmadao did not achieve its intended effect.

Eccentric.

This Cavalry General knew many years ago that he had to wage war against Shaman Path, so he had done his homework.

The Mao sacrifice, a type of Blood Sacrifice within Shaman Path and Evil Method, does indeed have the ability to draw upon Sha Qi to enhance its killing power.

Originally, Shaman Path does not advocate Blood Sacrifice, but like Evil Method in Human Path, Shaman Path also includes methods such as Ghost Shaman, and some people do practice human sacrifice and Blood Sacrifice.

Moreover, at this moment, Shen Shuibi has already learned the Mao Sacrifice, and the way she uses it is quite strange. Why couldn't my Zhanmadao shatter the sacrificial ground?

The Cavalry General was puzzled, but his hands did not stop. He did not try to attack Shen Shuibi's body, as it would be useless, since she had now become one with the sacrificial ground.

Therefore, what needs to be destroyed is the sacrificial site itself.

He swung his knife again!

The Sha Qi seemed capable of dominating the entire wilderness, fully displaying his cultivation as a dual fifth-rank expert!

The battle lasted less than half a minute, and the sacrificial ground was shattered time and time again, while the Sha Qi emanating from him grew stronger and stronger.

In the flash of the blade, Shen Shuibi's figure completely disappeared, becoming part of the sacrificial ground.

The dragon banner soared in the sky, amidst thunder and fierce winds, the world seemed to change drastically under the flashing blades, the deadly energy coalescing into a deadly strike, the thunderous roar echoing through the endless void, terrifying energy surging and clashing, the sounds of thunder rumbling and collapsing, the earth trembling and crashing, the earth collapsing and surging!

The blades flashed through the air, leaving no trace as they came and went. The refined primordial Primal Qi combined with the Soldier's Qi of the cultivators of the Human Path Military School flew out with a bang, blasting away the entire dead zone of the world. There was a rush of turbid dust and a thunderous roar!

At the same time, he also exuded an extremely strong killing intent.

Under his blade, it was as if divine wrath had descended, like waves of crimson winds, peering into the rocks and reflecting the surrounding scenery, dazzling and awe-inspiring. All the surrounding matter, the temporary mountains and seas, including the battlefield not far away, were smashed and shattered, swept away.

This wasn't the end of it. Besides the shadow of the Zhanmadao, the Sha Qi emanating from the Military School was also rising, seemingly about to increase infinitely.

Behind him, the Sha Qi seemed to condense into a blood-red behemoth, constantly devouring matter in the void.

A crimson light emanated from the giant beast's body, resembling the shadow of a mythical dragon, neither real nor illusory, appearing and disappearing intermittently. It illuminated the summit of Mount Fuyu, burning the yin and yang, a sight recorded in ancient texts, yet never before seen in history.

As a seasoned veteran and a fifth-rank Cavalry General, he had presided over many Human Path wars, conquering hundreds of thousands of worlds, and countless lives were reduced to ashes under his command.

Therefore, he certainly possesses enough Sha Qi to suppress the world. Even a slight leak of this Sha Qi would be enough to turn a Seventh Rank World into a sea of blood, drive the entire world's inhabitants into madness, cause them to kill each other, cause civilization to collapse, cause biological mutations, and ultimately lead to the end of civilization. The only remaining rational beings will spend the rest of their lives amidst the mutated creatures and the pollution of Sha Qi.

Now, these Sha Qi and murderous auras are beginning to show signs of getting out of control.

At the very moment the Sha Qi went out of control—

The Cavalry General's eyes sharpened immediately; he sensed something was wrong!

He knew why he couldn't cut it open and why he couldn't escape this sacrificial site.

Because he is the sacrificial site itself!

He is both the chief priest and the object of the sacrifice itself; this sacrifice is a cycle!

The reason the Sha Qi went out of control was because Shen Shuibi offered herself as a sacrifice, constantly pouring the Sha Qi of the 'Mao Sacrifice' into him.

Admittedly, Sha Qi can enhance killing power.

She offered herself as a sacrifice, and then had the Cavalry General as the chief officiant, with herself as the object of the sacrifice.

Yes, the sacrificial ceremony had already begun when the Cavalry General cleaved Shen Shuibi in two with his sword, but it was not the usual Shaman ritual, where the power of the sacrifice was used to deal with outsiders.

This time, it was the Cavalry General cut open the offering with a single stroke, and he himself, as the chief officiant, offered Shen Shuibi as the sacrifice!

Shen Shuibi's fierce aura was indeed ferocious, but she had experienced too little life and death. Her fierce and murderous aura was mostly empty and impulsive, and she had no will to die for her country.

Therefore, she was well aware that the other party was no match for her, a genuine Human Path general. In other words, the other party had never intended to confront her head-on.

She used this to stimulate herself to release her Sha Qi, and then used Shaman Path and ritual methods to merge her Sha Qi with her own, ultimately causing her Sha Qi to enter her heart and her murderous intent to become demonic.

"Hmph, a cunning trick, not worthy of being called a hero." The Cavalry General stopped swinging his sword, slammed the hilt of the blade against his foot, and the bright light of the sword immediately dimmed.

Human Path can kill, and it can also stop killing; only the demon of death is troubled by pure killing intent.

People kill because they need to take action against a specific target, not for the sake of killing itself. When killing is not necessary, their hearts remain as clear as still water.

He closed his eyes, sheathed his sword, and saw the surrounding Sha Qi begin to converge. The blood-red behemoths conjured by the surrounding Sha Qi began to dissipate, eventually turning into crimson Blood Qi, which was absorbed into the Cavalry General's body.

The sacrificial site also began to appear illusory.

But at that moment, the Cavalry General's pupils began to turn bloodshot and red, and his originally clear eyes were filled with anger.

What happened?

One's Dao heart is not easily tainted by Sha Qi, so where does this anger come from?

The Cavalry General realized something was wrong. He raised his long sword again, and a flash of light appeared, but it was aimed at himself!

This is a strike aimed at one's own Dao heart.

The blade flashed, and his physical body was unharmed, but his mind was split in two.

Half of it is clear and peaceful, the other half is brimming with murderous intent.

His soul clearly sensed both sensations, then he reached out and pointed to the part brimming with killing intent, and whispered, "Show yourself."

As soon as he said this, his personal microcosm was turned upside down, the Great Dao collapsed, and part of the Dharma form outside was shattered!

But the result was also pleasing. Half of the murderous souls were revealed to be the original form of Shen Shuibi.

After Shen Shuibi's body was shattered, she used her Divine Ability powers to transform into malevolent Sha Qi, which was then sacrificed to the Cavalry General at the sacrificial site. This energy secretly infiltrated his soul, stirring up his murderous intent and demonic nature!

Seeing that her true form had been exposed by a single finger, Shen Shuibi remained calm and composed. Instead, she unleashed her Divine Ability once more, urging her Sha Qi to surge violently.

This was also the battle strategy she had set from the beginning.

The Tang Kingdom general has committed too many killings, and his body is shrouded in Sha Qi. Normally, this Sha Qi can increase his killing power by three points out of nowhere, but if this Sha Qi is detonated, he will have no time to care about anything else and will be dragged here by Shen Shuibi.

With one general tied down by Shen Shuibi, the remaining Tang army would not be just one, but five.

In this way, the pressure on the Unreturning Disciples can be reduced by at least half.

Everything was going according to Shen Shuibi's plan. If the Cavalry General could become anxious because of this, that would be even better.

Shen Shuibi wouldn't compete with her opponent in cultivation level; that would be suicide. But she could use these techniques to create opportunities for victory.

Unexpectedly, after realizing this, the Cavalry General sat down cross-legged, placed the Zhanmadao on his knees, and closed his eyes.

"Your heart has calmed down. Aren't you worried at all?" Shen Shuibi asked, somewhat surprised.

She had already abandoned her physical body, and her entire body was offered as a sacrifice to this fifth-rank Human Path, becoming a part of his soul. Of course, she could separate at any time, but her physical body was truly shattered.

The opponent's Zhanmadao... is really sharp.

This is a great sacrifice, but it is also the only chance of victory. Otherwise, they might not be afraid of the enemy in a one-on-one fight and might even win. But in a large-scale battle, the Unreturning Disciples are no match for the 100,000 -Human Path Iron Army.

Shen Shuibi didn't want to win herself, but Unreturning Disciples to force the other side to continuously invest their strength in this direction. Therefore, she made this decision without hesitation.

"What are you worried about? Are you worried they can't win?" the Cavalry General chuckled softly.

Shen Shuibi didn't speak, but continued to arouse his killing intent and Sha Qi, preventing him from making a move.

The Cavalry General continued, "I believe in them, I believe in the power of people."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and began to mobilize his Dao heart and inner world to strangle Shen Shuibi!

A quiet battle of the Dao heart, devoid of destructive power or special effects, yet far more perilous, has begun.

But on the other side, on the battlefield...

Gou Lou and Cha Xike led the Unreturning Disciples against the elite army of Human Path.

Their winning percentage is probably... 70%.

Because the Human Path only has five Rank 5 members, Unreturning Disciples have more than a dozen Rank 5 members, and the Human Path is also tied down by Shen Shuibi, so the entire army cannot exert its full strength and cannot fight against three opponents at once.

Whether it's 70% or 30%, although it's just a few more or fewer numbers, it's like a merciless abyss, clearly dividing victory and defeat.

Life is worthless at this moment. The joys and sorrows of those practitioners, those Unreturning Disciples, and those soldiers of Human Path will only be thrown into the abyss of war, as if they never existed.

Every single person and every cultivator participating in this battle is an outstanding individual in their own world, but here, their deaths seem utterly meaningless.

No, it's not worthless—

They are fighting for what they believe in, and giving everything for what they pursue.

Life, something meaningless, is given meaning at this moment.

It seems that the Human Path defeat is inevitable.
