Battling the Peak (6K Double-Length Chapter)
The Purple-Robed Youth raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and reached out to take it.
Bang!
He seized the Chess Piece that had previously suppressed all the Grandmaster in the All Under Heaven.
That dazzling, boundless light was casually grasped by him and extinguished like the sun!
Everyone's expression changed upon seeing this, but just then, a cracking sound suddenly came from the Purple-Robed Youth's palm, like a thunderclap, and some grayish-white smoke, like stone powder, wafted out from between his fingers.
The Purple-Robed Youth's calm, smiling expression Solidification slightly. He loosened his grip, revealing a bloody mess in his palm, as if it had been slashed by countless sharp blades.
He's injured!
The Grandmaster were stunned. They had all clashed with Li Hao's Chess Piece and knew how terrifying the Martial Dao intent contained within them was. They had been terrified when they saw the Great Demon casually crush them. Yet, even this Great Demon at the Three Immortalities Realm was injured?
Upon seeing the young master injured, the Gray-Shirt Old Man behind the Purple-Robed Youth turned grim, and he slowly took a step forward.
The Heaven and Earth seemed to darken, as if a heavy, oppressive Dark Clouds was sweeping in.
Everyone present felt their heartbeat slow down, and they experienced a feeling of difficulty breathing.
But the Purple-Robed Youth raised his hand to stop the old man. He gently rubbed the remaining powder between his fingers, and the wound on his palm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He looked up at the calm young man at the table, a smile appearing in his purple, star-like eyes:
"Interesting."
"You are the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King!"
At this moment, a horrified voice rang out; it was Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man.
He had already recognized the origins of these two Great Demons, and his face was filled with shock. They were actually the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King outside Heaven's Gate Pass!
That Lesser Demon King is said to have extremely high talent, and with the full support of his father, he has already reached the Three Immortalities Peak after hundreds of years of cultivation!
Furthermore, he has a history of devouring the Three Immortalities generals on the Frontier several times. Decades ago, this Lesser Demon King roamed around the Liang Prefecture Frontier, attacking many Frontier cities. He is an extremely restless and terrifying Demon!
"The Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King?!"
Upon hearing Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man's words, the dozen or so Grandmaster from Liang Prefecture present all changed their expressions drastically, revealing expressions of fear and horror.
This Lesser Demon King was extremely rampant and high-profile, launching repeated attacks on the Frontier. They had long heard of him and were aware of his strength.
If it were merely Undying Realm cultivator, they could unite and defeat it.
However, the gap is too large for the opponent to the Undeclining Realm; even a large-scale attack won't work because the opponent possesses Unyielding Power.
"How did this Demon get here? Damn it, are they after us?"
"I've heard it's bloodthirsty and has an enormous appetite. How could they let such a monster infiltrate here!"
These Grandmaster were pale-faced. Although Grandmaster a revered position, they were nothing more than delicious food in the face of such Great Demon.
Some people were already considering giving up, and despair was evident in their eyes.
If the City Protection Formation were still intact, they could have used Magic Array power to withstand this Great Demon.
But with the Magic Array broken and even the Great Yue City killed in battle, the only hope left is to rely on Wen Tianen, Three Immortalities of Boundless Mountain!
Thinking of this, many Grandmaster turned their gazes to Wen Tianen and Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man, who were probably the last pillars of Great Yue City at present.
However, there are Three Immortalities Demon before us, including the Niu Demon in the distance.
Regardless of realm of understanding, quantity is an advantage.
Outside the city, a relentless Demon Tide Demon rushing in, clearly intending to surround the entire city and slaughter it!
"Gentlemen, let's fight to the death!"
Not all Grandmaster place their hopes on others. Some Grandmaster step forward, and after the initial shock and despair, their eyes reveal a resolute killing intent ready to face death.
"Running away means certain death. We must fight our way out before the Demon Tide closes in!"
"As long as someone escapes and requests reinforcements from the nearby garrison, it's still not too late to prevent the entire city from being wiped out!"
"That's right, being cowardly will only hasten your death!"
With one person taking the lead, more Grandmaster regained their composure from their shock, anger, and despair. After all, they were Grandmaster in their own right. Although they knew this battle would be difficult and extremely brutal, what else could they do?
Escape?
If they scatter like birds and beasts, they will only be slaughtered and captured by these Great Demons!
They were Grandmaster after all, not pigs or dogs, not ants that would flee in panic at the slightest intimidation.
The waves in that long Dragon River were sweeping, crashing, and pounding against the riverbank outside the Martial Dao Platform, seemingly roaring in anger!
Numerous Grandmaster stepped forward at this moment, their eyes revealing determination.
Zhou Haitang raised his hand, blocking his daughter and two disciples behind him. He took a deep breath. Although he had only reached the Precious Appearance Realm among the Grandmaster Realm, and was not even Grandmaster, he would usually flee at the mere sight of ordinary Demon in the Three Immortalities Realm.
But now, how can he escape?
Behind him were his daughter and his apprentice.
He would use his own flesh and blood, and the Grandmaster Martial Dao he had cultivated throughout his life, to fight his way out of a slim chance of survival for them!
"Brother Bai, it seems our Sparring will have to wait until next time."
Zhou Haitang saw Bai Chunhai, who had also stepped out in the distance.
The two longtime rivals, as if by telepathy, exchanged a glance, and a hint of relief crept into their solemn resolve.
"We don't necessarily have to wait until next time. Let's see who inflicts more damage this time."
Bai Chunhai smiled, and at that moment, his hunched body straightened up, his spine cracking, displaying the demeanor of a Grandmaster!
"Good!"
A glint of light and fighting spirit flashed in Zhou Haitang's eyes.
Among the other Grandmaster, many shared Zhou Haitang's mindset. None of them expected to encounter such devastating news and dire straits when they came to discuss the Dao with the Grandmaster.
They all brought their close disciples or family members with them; only a few came alone, but at this point, there was no turning back.
Among the crowd, Li Wushuang was pale. She didn't have a distress signal with her; it was in her carriage, but it was too far from the carriages outside the arena, so there was no chance to Past and get it.
Beside her, two maids from the Fifteen Li Realm protected her behind her, their eyes revealing shock and anger, but even more so, a resolute Killing Aura.
Having encountered many Great Demons in the army, they had developed an iron will, and now they would protect Li Wushuang even at the cost of their lives.
"Uncle Jiao, why don't you play with them for a while?"
Seeing the fighting spirit displayed by the many Grandmaster, the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King smiled, seemingly unconcerned. His eyes fell on Li Hao, and he said with interest:
"A mere Grandmaster Realm- level insect could actually hurt me; that really piques my curiosity."
The Gray-Shirt Old Man glanced at the Human Race youth, who was merely Heaven and Man Realm and nothing more than a plaything in front of the young master. He respectfully agreed, and then a terrifying Yao Qi gradually rose from his body.
The Yao Qi condensed above its head, coiling into a gigantic phantom of a hundred-foot-tall Jiaolong, its scales as if cast from molten iron, exuding a terrifying Aura.
His cultivation level was also revealed at this moment, and he was indeed at the Three Immortalities Peak.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the many Grandmaster who had just been filled with fighting spirit turned grim again, but then, an even stronger and more desolate fighting spirit ignited in their eyes.
"Take the Buddha Child away."
On the Martial Dao Platform, Wen Tianen's face was grim, and he quickly transmitted his voice to the three Venerables beside him.
He glanced at Qin Wuque, who lay unconscious on the ground, and sighed inwardly, fearing that this single battle would leave an indelible scar on the heart of this Buddha Child.
After giving his instructions, he leaped into the air and flew towards the group of Grandmaster. His body radiated Golden Body Buddha Light, intending to lead the Grandmaster and attract the attention of the two Great Demons.
"Don't get in the young master's way."
The Gray-Shirt Old Man spoke calmly, then raised his hand and clapped his hands. The Yao Qi in his palm transformed into a dragon claw, sweeping across the distance.
Wen Tianen's expression changed instantly. He threw out the Buddhist Prayer Beads in his hand, forming a golden light shield. At the same time, he released his solemn and majestic appearance, like a Buddha. He raised his hand and used one of the Signature Technique of Boundless Mountain, the Heavenly Buddha Demon Suppression Palm!
The Buddha Palm, gleaming with Divine Might, Blazing Flame, and Divine Radiance, descended like a Blazing Sun, suppressing everything in its path.
It seems they want to suppress all the Demon in the world!
However, the instant the Buddha Palm collided with the illusory dragon claw, the dragon claw tore the Buddha Palm apart and extinguished the golden divine shield surrounding Wen Tianen.
The terrifying impact swept Wen Tianen's body away, sending him flying into the crowd.
Many Grandmaster made successive moves to catch it, but the terrifying residual force sent seven or eight people flying before it finally stopped.
These Grandmaster who supported Wen Tianen suffered turbulent Qi and Blood and qi, further exacerbating their injuries.
They had previously gone on stage to discuss the Dao, holding almost nothing back, and were already injured. None of them expected a Demon attack, and they were in poor condition, unable to recover for a while, their eyes filled with despair.
The battle was about to break out. Shen Yunqing, Su Yehua, and the others were pale and solemn. They all stood up and protected the many White Hall disciples behind them.
If they had known about this unexpected event, they wouldn't have attended the banquet.
But now there are no "what ifs," and no way back.
"Find a chance to escape!"
Shen Yunqing spoke softly to his disciples.
These White Hall disciples were mostly at the Spirit Wandering Realm, and at this moment, they were no match for this terrifying demonic power. Their faces were ashen, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
But at that moment, Li Hao, who had been sitting quietly, stood up.
His face was solemn and cold. The Niu Demon in the distance was still wreaking havoc. He could not delay and had to finish the battle quickly.
He raised his hand, as if gripping a sword.
With a sharp, sudden sound, like a dragon's roar, it resounded throughout the area.
A dragon's roar suddenly erupted from Ren Qianqian's arms, bursting forth with tremendous force, and soared straight into the heavens!
The Dragon Firmament Divine Sword, ranked first among the Ten Great Famous Swords Under Heaven, unleashed a Divine Radiance of ten thousand feet at this moment, carrying soaring Sword Qi and Killing Aura, like a Savage Wilderness True Dragon that had just Awakening, soaring into the sky, and then rapidly falling, whistling as it landed in the young man's palm.
The sword is in hand.
In an instant, the sound of the rolling waves in the Dragon River seemed to pause for a moment.
The previously frivolous smile on the face of the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King vanished, replaced by a serious expression that hinted at surprise.
The Gray-Shirt Old Man had knocked Wen Tianen away also looked at the young man with surprise.
Li Hao did not Pause. Suddenly, he took a step forward, and all 98 Great Meridian in his body surged and activated instantly. He circulated his internal Cultivation Method seven times, and the special effect of the Seven Stars Lighting Lamp was activated.
At the same time, the power of Yin Yang Dual Meridians flows through the entire body.
With that step he took, the entire ground Beyond the Border the Martial Dao Platform seemed to tremble under the weight of his foot, which weighed tens of millions of pounds!
The Sword Light suddenly burst forth, seemingly tearing a ravine into the ground. The soaring Sword Qi transformed into a dragon's roar, fiercely slashing towards the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King.
The Gray-Shirt Old Man's expression suddenly changed. He had thought that this Heaven and Man Realm Human Race was just a delicious snack, but he actually felt a threat from that Sword Qi.
"Ha ha..."
The Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King burst into laughter, then roared and swung his fist. His Robe burst open, revealing thick, swollen fur all over his body. Purple Yao Qi covered his fist as he threw a punch.
A deafening sound like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart occurred, the dragon's Sword Qi dissipated, and the body of the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King also revealed a near -Demonization appearance, transforming from a handsome young man into a robust four- or five-meter-tall half-beast.
A deep gash appeared between his fingers on his enormous fist, so deep that bone was visible, and blood was flowing freely.
"Young Master!"
The Gray-Shirt Old Man's expression changed drastically. Then, his Robe suddenly tore apart, emitting a long roar like Jiaolong. His body coiled up, revealing his True Form, which merged with the hundred-foot-tall Yao Qi behind him. He glared Anger at Li Hao.
"Don't worry about it, I'll handle it myself!"
The chilling voice carried a burning intensity. The face of the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King was contorted with murderous Killing Aura and ferocity, a palpable greed Bloodlust as he stared intently at Li Hao: "Such a delicious flavor, I will savor you slowly!"
In response, Li Hao unleashed his second sword strike.
With a single strike, countless flowers seemed to bloom on the ground.
The space between them instantly disappeared, and the Sword Qi arrived in front of the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King the moment it was unleashed.
The Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King's pupils shrank suddenly, but his reaction was extremely fast. He suddenly let out a roar like a lion, which shook the Sword Qi. Then he slapped out with both hands, and a palm print with churning black energy rushed out, canceling out the Sword Qi.
The two fought extremely quickly and with terrifying momentum. The other Grandmaster and Wen Tianen and the others were all dumbfounded, staring at the young man in shock.
They had previously witnessed the young man's unparalleled Martial Dao, which could be described as invincible among Grandmaster, but his true strength was actually enough to fight against a top-tier Demon among the Three Immortalities?!
Not only them, but even Shen Yunqing, Su Yehua and others who knew Li Hao were all dumbfounded and incredulous.
"You guys go first."
Li Hao said something in a low voice, and then rushed straight towards the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King.
With just two sword strikes, Li Hao sensed that this Lesser Demon King was much stronger than the Chi Tiger Lord he had killed before, and its flesh and skin were also tougher!
Even the Dragon Sky Sword couldn't seriously injure it; if it were the previous Boar Tusk Sword, it probably would have only barely broken through its defenses.
Both are in the Undeclining Realm, but the difference is quite significant.
"Interesting, very interesting. You must be one of the most outstanding Prodigy among your Human Race. Are you Imperial Clan, or a disciple of that True Person?"
The Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King revealed a ferocious and excited light in his eyes, his ferocity aroused. He wondered what it would taste like to eat a prince, something he had never experienced before.
Whoosh!
It seemed as if countless shooting stars were flashing, Li Hao had already charged forward with his sword.
The True Dragon soul sealed on the Dragon Sky Sword also revealed its power and was activated.
Although Grandmaster Realm cannot unleash the full power of this sword, the mere display of the True Dragon's aura is enough to intimidate many Grandmaster.
Lion Heart Sky Rending Fist!
The Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King roared, his fists flashing like a roar, shattering countless Starlight.
But the Sword Light, like a meteorite, descended with the power of ten thousand mountains.
His fist, which had only partially healed, was slashed open again with a huge gash, extending from the original wound and almost reaching his wrist.
The excruciating pain enraged the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King. If he had been careless before, his attack just now was clearly aimed at killing him, yet he still failed to kill this junior Grandmaster.
Li Hao did not stop; his strength surged, and he unleashed his third sword strike.
The Sword Intent transformed once more, like a drop of water, containing an invincible power.
The sword pierced directly into the opponent's chest. The sudden sense of crisis made the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King' fur stand on end. His pupils shrank, and he let out a furious roar. His body rapidly Demonization, growing larger on the spot, and his Demon Aura increased tenfold, turning him into a giant, upright lion.
His entire body Yao Qi that formed a protective aura, and a Treasure Armor resembling an Iron Fragment flew out from his thick hair, blocking the Dragon Sky Sword.
A clanging sound rang out, and intense sparks flew as the Iron Fragment was pierced. However, the resulting buffer time allowed the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King to seize the opportunity to raise his enormous Sharp Claws, as large as a small house, and slam them down towards Li Hao's head.
Li Hao retaliated with a punch, unleashing the power of the Half-Step Invincible Fist. Despite the disproportionate size of the two, the immense force of the punch sent the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King staggering back several steps.
Li Hao landed on the ground, his feet creating deep craters. His face was icy cold. The Lesser Demon King's skin and flesh were thicker than he had imagined, far stronger than that of Chi Tiger Lord.
Not far away, his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form turned and stepped over, standing behind Li Hao. Then it rapidly shrank and entered Li Hao's body, Unity the Dharma Form with the physical body, causing the power within him to surge to an even higher level.
Sensing the imposing aura emanating from Li Hao, the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King's expression turned serious, his eyes burning with rage. At this moment, he had no heart for mockery and playfulness; he only wanted to tear Li Hao to pieces.
The mere Human Race, whose cultivation level was lower than his own, actually forced him to reveal his True Form.
As the Future Demon King, this made him feel utterly humiliated.
While Li Hao was confronting the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King, the Gray-Shirt Old Man, who had transformed into the True Form of Jiaolong, charged straight towards the Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man and the many Grandmaster, breaking into the crowd.
Its enormous Jiao Body was like a tiger among wolves. Many Grandmaster stepped forward, but they were defeated at the first touch. It was no match for it at all!
Numerous sword and Divine Soul attacks, along with the suppression of the power of Object Manipulation, landed on the Jiaolong's body but failed to cause the slightest damage.
After reaching the Indestructible Realm of the Three Immortalities Realm, one's physical body becomes comparable to Divine Weapon Treasure Armor, allowing one to Unharmed even amidst a million soldiers.
While the Great Grandmaster Realm is known as a match for ten thousand men, capable of taking the head of an enemy amidst a vast army, they rely on the perfectly rounded energy of their own Martial Dao to capture targets; simply put, they rely on dodging.
Indestructible Realm, it was able to withstand the onslaught head-on, remaining completely Unharmed under a hail of arrows and crossbow bolts!
The many Grandmaster thought that by working together, they could at least injure this Great Demon, but it turned out that its physical body was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary Indestructible Realm.
Even though Heaven's Mystery Mountain Man was also at the Indestructible Realm, he was sent flying by the Jiao Demon with a single blow, spitting out blood.
"Die, all of you!!"
The Jiao Demon roared, venting its Anger over its young master's injury onto these Grandmaster.
But at this moment, two figures rushed into the arena from outside the crowd, one of whom was Li He was secretly protecting Li Hao.
He and another joined forces to fight their way out and hold off the Jiao Demon. He shouted for the many Grandmaster to retreat and defend the city walls.
It turns out that the Demon Tide from afar outside the city is about to approach.
Without the City Protection Formation, and without the help of these Grandmaster to guard it, the entire city would fall instantly and be submerged in the Demon Tide. The millions of people in the city would become food for the Demon, and no one would be able to escape!
In the crowd, Li Wushuang recognized Li He. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes quickly swept over the young man's back in the distance, but she didn't have time to think about it anymore. She quickly rushed out from the other side with the two Sword Attendant beside her.
She knew there was no point in staying there; she had to send a signal as soon as possible to call for her father's help.
Besides Li He, the other one of the Three Immortalities was an elder from the He Lian Family who knew Li He. He came here to secretly protect a talented young master in his clan. The young master was only at the Fifteen Li Realm and came here to Dao Hearing, hoping to take the opportunity to step into the Heaven and Man Realm.
At this moment, the two attacked simultaneously, barely managing to hold off the Jiao Demon and giving the many Grandmaster a chance to escape.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, these Grandmaster abandoned their resolve to fight to the death and hastily led their disciples and families away.
The battle here is beyond their reach. If it were an ordinary Demon at the Three Immortalities Realm, they could help because of their numbers, but the gap between these two Great Demons and them is too great. Grandmaster Realm is of no use to them, unless it is that young man.
Many people glanced at the retreating figure of the boy confronting the Lesser Demon King before leaving, suppressing their shock, and quickly departed.
In the distance, the Niu Demon seemed to have encountered a hidden Three Immortalities Realm, and he restrained and fought with him.
In the blink of an eye, the battlefield here was divided into three parts.
Seeing this, Li Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had planned to deal with the Niu Demon first. Given the Lesser Demon King's personality, it would only be focused on him, and he wasn't afraid of it hurting people indiscriminately.
"Snort!"
Seeing the Three Immortalities appear one after another, the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King just sneered and didn't care.
He was enveloped in demonic energy and strode straight toward Li Hao.
Li Hao didn't stop there. He turned his thoughts around and incorporated some of the Dao Realm he had just comprehended into his Swordsmanship.
His figure blurred as he swiftly slashed at the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King, his sword imbued with the power of the Invincible Fist and the Yin-Yang Star Rotation Power.
"Great Annihilation Fist!"
The Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King shot out a piercing light from his eyes and suddenly threw a punch. The force of the punch made Li He, who was fighting the Jiao Demon next to him, change his expression and wanted to rush to Li Hao's aid.
But the next moment, Li Hao's sword slashed out, as if a giant fist was accompanying the slam, tearing the demonic lion fist apart. The sword blade cut straight into the huge fist, cutting a full four or five meters deep!
Li Hao quickly drew his sword to avoid getting it stuck, and he was also surprised. This Lesser Demon King's body was so hard, harder than he had imagined!
With half of his forearm severed, the nearly 100-meter-tall Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
Li Hao gave him no chance and drew his sword again, this time aiming directly at his throat.
