Li Tiangang, he defeated your younger self (two-in-one guaranteed chapter)
"The Last Lesson?"
Upon hearing Li Hao's words, many of the White Hall disciples were stunned.
Faced with this overwhelming Demon Tide, and with Great Yue City on the verge of collapse, Li Hao surprisingly did not forget that he still owed them a lesson.
Buzz!
Before anyone could react, the Dragon Sky Sword in Li Hao's hand hummed, and sword Sword Qi burst forth like cracking ice, swirling around Li Hao's arm.
"The Sea Tide Arises!"
Li Hao ascended the city wall, stepping into the void like a peerless immortal, exuding a transcendent and composed air.
His internal Cultivation Method surged rapidly, forcefully propelling him to unleash the Three Times Seven Stars Lighting Lamp.
The power surging from his major Great Meridian converged in his palm. In an instant, everyone seemed to hear the sounds of seabirds and waves, but these were actually mimicry sounds produced by the friction of Sword Qi energy.
As the Dragon Sky Sword flew from his hand, an illusion of ocean waves seemed to spread across the city wall. These were endless Sword Qi that condensed with Li Hao's sword strike.
The roaring Dragon Sky Sword transformed into a soaring, roaring True Dragon, its dragon form circling around, carrying the vast ocean tide, and colliding with the Demon Tide for over ten miles!
In an instant, a surging Sword Tide engulfed everything.
Amidst the surging waves, the Dragon Sky Sword, like a joyful True Dragon frolicking in the water, roared and galloped through, instantly overturning and piercing a vast expanse of blood mist, causing countless Demons to perish in an instant.
Such a horrifying sight left all the soldiers on the city wall, as well as Shen Yunqing and the others, stunned.
He single-handedly subdued a group of Demon!
This sword incorporates the essence of the Rising Moon and the Boundless Sea, as well as the Falling Snow Sword Art, the imagery of waves and Avalanche. Its exquisite and Signature Technique level is barely comparable to the newly comprehended Reincarnation Sword Art.
However, the cycle of Reincarnation erupts independently, creating Sword Tide with an extremely wide reach.
Thump thump thump thump thump...
A series of Dao Sound booms reverberated throughout the arena, and countless blood mists exploded within the Demon Tide, swirling into the Sword Tide.
Soul Succession Realm, the Spirit Wandering Realm, and even the Fifteen Li Realm, they were all like grains of sand washed away by the tide, unable to be shaken in the slightest, and unable to be stopped, being slaughtered in one fell swoop!
Only a few Demon at the Heaven and Man Realm managed to hold out inside, using their Demon Art and magical treasures to barely protect themselves.
However, as the tide of Sword Tide swept through, more and more Demon perished, allowing many Sword Qi to merge and concentrate their attacks on some Great Demon.
Furthermore, these condensed, enormous Sword Qi gradually revealed different Grandmaster Martial Realms.
Star and Moon, flowers and birds, Falling Leaves.
Rotten, sharp, swift.
Numerous Grandmaster conceptions emerged in the Sword Tide, like waves crashing fiercely into the Demon Tide.
Shen Yunqing and the others' pupils contracted and their eyes widened. Zhao Zongyuan hurriedly said, "Quick, watch carefully!"
Many White Hall disciples strained their eyes, not only in shock but also eager to see how this sword strike was born and how it could create such a powerful and Heaven and Earth -inspiring spectacle.
"Don't look at the Sword Move, you won't understand them. He's not teaching moves, he's teaching the way! The way of the Sword Dao!"
Shen Yunqing also shouted, his face full of excitement. He himself was also staring intently, trying his best to memorize those Sword Intent.
"Is this the Grandmaster Martial Realm he has comprehended? How can it encompass so much?"
Su Yehua stared blankly, feeling somewhat incredulous. Her mind wandered, drawn to the countless waves within the Sword Tide. Each wave represented a Grandmaster's Martial Dao!
Among the defenders on the city wall were Grandmaster, including the Grandmaster who had previously been defeated by Li Hao, Bai Chunhai, and his disciple, all of whom were staring blankly at the scene.
The young man, standing serenely in the sky, possessed an aura of calm power that could withstand ten thousand men.
That surging Sword Tide was even more terrifying and unprecedented.
"Quickly, look carefully!"
Bai Chunhai realized what was happening and hurriedly spoke to his Stout Man apprentice behind him.
The Stout Man was now completely absorbed in the overwhelming Sword Intent of the surging waves.
"Is this the limit of the Grandmaster Realm...?"
Bai Chunhai muttered to himself, suddenly remembering the painting the young man had come to buy earlier. If he could survive this time, what did it matter if he parted with it?
The Demon Tide outside the city was already in a state of extreme devastation. The surging waves had blocked them for ten miles outside the city, preventing them from advancing an inch.
The Demon army charging ahead was reduced to blood-stained corpses, their bodies pierced through, some wounds small yet fatal.
Amidst the Demon Tide, a Demon of the Three Immortalities led the way, its eyes filled with shock, finding it hard to believe that such an attack could be unleashed by Human Race Grandmaster.
Maintaining such a large range of Sword Qi attacks would be impossible in terms of sheer physical strength, unless one reaches the Undeclining Realm.
Damn it!
Its eyes were filled with ferocity and resentment. With the Lesser Demon King dead, it was impossible for it to retreat easily.
"Kill!!"
It roared and charged out, fiercely rushing towards the Divine Sword that had transformed into True Dragon.
At the same time, Dragon Firmament also noticed this Demon at the Three Immortalities Realm. With a buzzing sound, he flew up from the Demon horde and then swiftly attacked it.
"The Demonic Marsh Overturns the Heavens!"
The Great Demon roared, releasing countless black mud lights from its body. The ground beneath its feet rotted, turning into a swamp from which a mud dragon emerged, charging towards Dragon Firmament.
With a loud bang, the dazzling divine Divine Radiance that Dragon Firmament unleashed was like a thunderbolt, slicing the mud dragon open and instantly piercing through the body of the Great Demon.
The countless mud droplets were swept away by the waves of Sword Qi energy and completely submerged.
The Great Demon panicked. It was Indestructible Realm, and its physical body was not that strong. Moreover, this Divine Sword was terrifyingly sharp. Although it was filled with resentment, its will to survive surged up at this moment, and it chose to run away.
Dragon Firmament gave chase, but quickly disappeared from sight.
Before the Great Demon could even be surprised, a dragon's roar suddenly came from behind, like a giant dragon leaping out of Sword Tide, fiercely tearing at its body and smashing its flesh to pieces.
Countless Sword Qi washed over him, instantly unleashing a thousand swords that shattered his body.
Its Divine Soul was exposed from within, with nowhere to hide. It let out a miserable cry and burned its Divine Soul as it fled into the distance, but was directly annihilated by Dragon Firmament's tail whip.
After defeating the Great Demon, Dragon Firmament returned to the Demon Tide, continuing his roaring battle and severing countless Demons.
This massive Demon Tide was utterly routed in no time, leaving only a mere thousand or so before they finally regained their senses and chose to flee in disarray.
Dragon Firmament gave chase, and Li Hao's attack range extended for hundreds of miles. The Sword Tide disappeared, but Dragon Firmament, like a golden flying needle, darted among the remaining Demon, killing them all in the blink of an eye, leaving none alive!
The people on the city wall, who had been so tense that their palms were sweating and they were on high alert, suddenly felt as if they Ru Meng, as if it were all an illusion.
Such a desperate situation was reversed by one person and one sword; it's unbelievable.
A buzzing sound cut through the air as it hurtled towards him, like a Golden Divine Light, rapidly turning back from dozens of miles away and landing in Li Hao's hand.
Li Hao's face was slightly pale. Killing so many Demons on his own had taken a heavy toll on him.
Back outside Cangyu City, he had single-handedly slain numerous Demons, roughly the same number as today. However, his previous battle with the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King had already greatly depleted his resources.
The quality of these Demon Tide was also much stronger than that of Cangyu City. It seemed that the Fifteen Li Realm demons were just small Demon leaders, and there were also seven or eight Heaven and Man Realm Demon and that Great Demon with Three Immortalities, all of whom were capable of easily slaughtering an ordinary city.
Li Hao steadied his Aura, turned around, and looked at Su Yehua, the disciples of the White Hall, and the others behind him. He had done his best; how much they could learn and remember depended on their comprehension.
I'll go look around elsewhere.
Li Hao said.
Then he stepped out and headed towards other city gates.
His Divine Soul emerged from behind him, observing the Heaven and Earth. Li Hao saw that on the other three city walls, the Demon Tide had arrived and a chaotic battle had broken out.
He immediately flew out on his sword and charged into the chaotic crowd.
This time, however, he no longer had the strength to unleash a wave of Sword Qi energy. He could only rely on the sharpness of the Dragon Sky Sword and his remaining power of Object Manipulation to quickly traverse and slash.
Nevertheless, with the addition of the Dragon Sky Sword, the pressure on the defenders on the west city wall was quickly relieved. Many Grandmaster were about to be surrounded and killed by the Demon, but the golden divine Divine Sword that flew in quickly circled once and killed all the Demon, saving them.
These Grandmaster recognized the sword, and their expressions changed. They unconsciously looked around and saw Li Hao, dragging his tired body, rushing towards them from afar.
During the previous Grandmaster' discussion, nine out of ten Grandmaster had sparred with Li Hao. They were not hostile towards this young man; it was due to the connection with Boundless Mountain, and they also wanted to use that move to reflect on their own shortcomings.
Regardless of their actions, they were on the side of Boundless Mountain. Unexpectedly, the young man treated them all the same and was willing to lend a helping hand.
These Grandmaster gave the young man a complex look, then steadied themselves and plunged back into the Demon Tide to reinforce the others.
Before long, the onslaught of Demon Tide on the west city wall was also relieved, and then everyone worked together with Li Hao to kill them all.
Once the crisis on the west side of the city wall subsided, Li Hao once again flew on his sword and headed north.
The city gates have been breached, and Demon have stormed into the city.
The Dragon Sky Sword swept past at lightning speed, quickly killing the few Demon who had crossed the defensive line and rushed into the city. Then, the Sword Light swept into the Demon horde, cutting them down like melons and vegetables. With the sharpness and intimidation of the Object Manipulation Dragon Firmament itself, Li Hao only needed to provide a little propulsion to cause terrible damage.
He was nearly exhausted and quite tired. If he didn't have the Dragon Sky Sword, but instead used the Boar Tusk Sword that he had previously polished and Sculpting, the effect would be greatly reduced.
It must be said that this Divine Weapon is extremely terrifying. If it falls into the hands of a powerful expert, it would be comparable to a super weapon of war in a city defense battle like this.
Li He, He Lian Family, and another Three Immortalities Realm held back several Three Immortalities Great Demon in the Demon Tide. Li Hao simply cooperated with the others to deal with the remaining Demon. The guards on the west and east city gates, which Li Hao had previously freed, also rushed to the rescue.
The situation quickly reversed, and the Demon Tide's defeat became irreversible.
Li Hao turned his head and saw that the body of the Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King had disappeared without him noticing. He wondered which Demon had taken the opportunity to sneak in and steal it.
He shook his head, slightly regretful, but given his special circumstances, even the corpse and its precious blood were useless to him; having only a sword in hand was enough.
As the Demon Calamity gradually subsided, Li Hao sheathed his sword and tossed it aside.
The Dragon Sky Sword flew out and landed in the Dao Discussion Dao Arena more than ten miles away. Like an autumn Falling Leaves the wind, it returned to Ren Qianqian's arms.
Ren Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Divine Sword return to its sheath, knowing that Li Hao was unharmed. She couldn't detect the situation outside from here, since she hadn't reached the Spirit Wandering Realm yet and couldn't separate her Soul Avatar too far from her body.
Li Hao stood suspended in mid-air, looking up and around. The dark clouds of Yao Qi that had been gathering earlier had vanished.
I wonder how Old Feng will fare in this contest.
Li Hao was somewhat worried, but thinking of Old Feng's unique Signature Technique, his direct combat strength might not be very strong, but his ability to escape was even better than that of the Second Master. That Demon should not be able to hurt him.
While Li Hao waited and pondered, a soft laugh suddenly rang out:
"Boy, I told you to hold out for a quarter of an hour, but you actually managed to kill that Lesser Demon King."
Li Hao turned around and saw a simple figure appear behind him. The Robe were torn and stained with blood, but they did not seem to be his own.
Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "What about the Demon?"
They got away.
Feng Boping casually said, "Although I can catch up, I'll leave this area, and it's hard to say whether I can catch up to the Beyond the Border."
"I'm glad you're alright."
Li Hao laughed, not caring about the life or death of that Demon King. If he didn't kill it today, he could kill it later. He would give it time, and he would be able to deal with it in due time.
"You brat, you're worried about me? You killed that little Demon King Lesser Demon King, forcing him to reveal a weakness, which I severely injured. Otherwise, he probably would have gone berserk and come after you."
Feng Boping smiled.
In just a few words, Li Hao could imagine how intense the battle on Old Feng's side must have been when he was fighting.
"Judging from the Lesser Demon King's title, that Demon King is most likely from the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King's side. I didn't expect there to be two Great Demon Kings in Wanshan. It seems some of the Intelligence wasn't very accurate," Li Hao said.
Feng Boping nodded slightly. "If the Demon King doesn't show himself and deliberately hides himself, it won't be so easy to detect."
At this point, he glanced at Li Hao and said, "Little Mouse, you need to improve your strength as soon as possible. There might be some trouble in six months."
Li Hao was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood the meaning behind Old Feng, and his eyes became serious.
The news of slaying this Lesser Demon King today will surely reach the Demon and be known to the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King.
If it were just the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King, there would be no fear with Old Feng's protection. But now there are two Demon Kings. Once Song Qiumo leaves in six months, they will most likely choose that time to attack.
If the other party becomes even more aggressive, they may make a move in the coming days.
Regardless of which one it is, a grudge has been formed against the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King.
"Half a year..."
Li Hao sighed. If he were to give up pursuing the Grandmaster Extreme Realm, he could dedicate half a year to comprehension and perhaps Dao Heart Entering Spirit enlightenment, thereby stepping into the Three Immortalities or even the Four Establishments Realm in one fell swoop.
However, if one misses the Grandmaster Extreme Realm and tries to refine it again, their Dao Heart will be incomplete, making it difficult to achieve success once more.
Old Feng's figure disappeared again, hiding in the shadows.
Li Hao also returned to the Martial Dao Platform to meet Ren Qianqian.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Ren Qianqian saw Li Hao and immediately asked with concern.
Li Hao's face was pale and he didn't look well. The overexertion he had previously suppressed with his physical strength was now gradually taking effect.
After all, he had faced challenges from Grandmaster All Under Heaven, killed Three Immortalities Peak Lesser Demon King, and then slaughtered Demon Tide, which had taken a heavy toll on him.
"It's alright, you just need to rest."
Li Hao comforted Ren Qianqian with a word, then sat down to regulate his breathing.
Before long, several Grandmaster returned. When they saw Li Hao resting there, their expressions turned solemn. Many of them came to express their gratitude, as they had all been rescued by Li Hao.
Li Hao's selfless help earned them their deep respect and admiration for the young man.
Besides his extraordinary Heavenly Talent, this young man's character is also admirable.
The other Grandmaster, having also heard of Li Hao's exploits in single-handedly defending a city wall, annihilating 100,000 Demon, and then moving on to reinforce other battlefields, all scrutinized the young man with complex expressions.
Even fictional characters from Heavenly Prodigy tales wouldn't dare to write about this young man's talent.
"Young Master Li, please forgive my previous offense. Thank you for not holding a grudge."
Zhou Haitang stepped forward and bowed slightly to Li Hao.
For Grandmaster, this is already the highest form of courtesy.
Li Hao frowned slightly and said indifferently, "My surname isn't Li, so don't use that surname anymore. My surname is Ji!"
Upon hearing the boy's words, everyone was slightly taken aback. Then, they recalled the once-sensational battle of Qingzhou City, and their expressions changed slightly. Only then did they remember that this Heavenly Talent talented boy had severed ties with the Li Family.
However, they had previously believed that this was just a momentary impulse.
When the young man encounters setbacks, obstacles, and difficulties outside, he will naturally understand the protection that the Divine General Residence has given him, and at that time he will still choose to turn back.
But now it seems that this boy is no longer Bird in a Cage.
To describe him as a genius is no longer accurate; he is already a first-rate expert capable of single-handedly slaying Great Demon!
The fact that he is an invincible Grandmaster and can slay Lesser Demon King is enough to show that he no longer needs any protection and can stand alone against any enemy!
For a moment, everyone was speechless and silent.
The details and reasons behind that great battle are widely debated and unknown to them, but they witnessed what happened today firsthand. They dared not imagine what could possibly lead the Li Family to treat such a peerless Heavenly Prodigy in this way.
This drove him to abandon his surname and leave home.
Zhou Haitang paused slightly, looking a little embarrassed, then cupped her hands and nodded, avoiding the question:
"If you need anything in the future, you can write to Iron Sword Peak or Pear Blossom Gate at any time. I will remember this favor!"
Li Hao nodded slightly, which was taken as an agreement.
Even though he may not need it, no one can predict the Future.
The other Grandmaster also stepped forward one after another to thank Li Hao, but most of them avoided using the proper form of address. Since Li Hao did not like to be called Li, they simply addressed him Young Master Hao.
As for the Ji Clan, they dared not use it, otherwise, if this matter reached the Divine General Residence, it would likely implicate them.
"Young Master Hao, I've considered the painting you mentioned you wanted to buy and am willing to give it to you for free. Do you still need it?"
Bai Chunhai stepped forward with his apprentice and said with a smile.
His Stout Man apprentice, looking nervously at the composed young man, quickly said, "I was blind to your greatness before, please forgive me."
After saying that, he lowered his head deeply.
Grandmaster must not be insulted, lest blood be spilled.
But Li Hao didn't take the other party to heart and smiled at Bai Chunhai, saying, "In that case, I thank you."
Seeing that Li Hao was willing to accept it, Bai Chunhai felt a strange joy and a smile appeared on his face.
Previously, anyone who asked him for a painting would definitely be met with a cold shoulder, but this young man was an exception.
Outside the crowd, Li Wushuang had already given the signal, and now that the City Warden was over, she also withdrew from the battle.
She had heard everything Li Hao said, her expression extremely complicated. She gripped the sword tightly and bit her lower lip.
This cousin actually intends to leave the Li Family, and saying it so publicly will surely spread the word again.
If the other party truly severs all ties in the future, will she and Li Hao still be considered cousins?
She felt a strange, heart-wrenching pain in her heart.
Not long after, Li Hao received Famous Painting from Bai Chunhai.
He glanced at it twice, but naturally wouldn't accept it in public. Instead, he handed it to Ren Qianqian to hold.
After bowing to the Grandmaster in farewell, he took Ren Qianqian with him and left the Dao Discussion Dao Arena, heading towards the Great Yue City.
Having achieved his purpose, and having also engaged in a philosophical discussion from which he gained considerable insights, Li Hao now needed to return to Heaven's Gate Pass.
As Li Hao left the city, he saw a massive army of soldiers galloping towards him in the distance. He saw banners with the character "Xuan" fluttering in the wind, which must have been a distress signal sent by his cousin, summoning his fifth uncle.
However, the enemy's military camp is some distance away, so they can't get here as quickly.
Li Hao didn't bother to say hello; instead, he quietly flew away from another point in the sky with Ren Qianqian.
Great Yue City nearly fell!
The Ten Thousand Mountains Little Demon King led his Demon army in a sneak attack, only to be surprised by the intervention of Demon King at the Four Establishments Realm, who was then repelled by a mysterious powerful figure!
The news spread throughout the various states, while more detailed Military Report were swiftly sent to Great Yu Province Sacred Capital Imperial City State.
Meanwhile, another Military Report flew across mountains and rivers, reaching Qing Prefecture and then the Heavenly Origin Divine General Residence.
In the main hall of the mansion, Li Tiangang summoned his household retainers, the wives of the various households, and Li Muxiu to discuss matters.
On the table was a huge map of Liang Prefecture's landscape. Li Tiangang also took out the many secret reports he had received earlier, revealing that the situation in Liang Prefecture was more dire than others had imagined.
Among them, Gao Qingqing's expression was the most unpleasant and solemn.
Because her husband, Li Xuanli, is currently stationed in Liang Prefecture, and six of the Nine Sons of the Li Family have died in battle, she is very worried that her husband will become the seventh to fall.
Since Li Xuanli was ordered to lead the expedition to Liang Prefecture, she hasn't slept well these past few days. She keeps waking up from Nightmare, dreaming that she is in the mourning hall, attending the funerals of other people.
But when she lifted the coffin lid, she saw that the person lying inside was her husband's pale face. She screamed and woke up several times, her hair soaked with tears.
As Li Tiangang pointed to the map and discussed strategy and the traces of Demon, he noticed the uneasy look on his fifth sister-in-law's face. He sighed inwardly, realizing that he was even more nervous than she was about this, and he didn't want anything to happen to his Fifth Brother.
During the conversation, Military Report arrived from Liang Prefecture.
Upon hearing that they were from Liang Prefecture, everyone turned to Past.
But the Military Report was handed to Li Tiangang immediately. His heart sank, and he quickly opened it. There were three copies of the Military Report.
He quickly read through each letter, carefully and rapidly.
The first Military Report detailed the situation of Demon discovered outside Liang Prefecture.
The second Military Report was about the Grandmaster discussing Daoist principles in Great Yue City.
The third document details the attack on Great Yue City by Demon.
When Li Tiangang finished reading the first military Military Report, his brows furrowed. When he saw the second military Military Report, his eyes widened slightly.
Upon seeing the third military Military Report, a look of shock appeared on his face.
Seeing the change in Li Tiangang's expression, everyone else tensed up.
"Heavenly Gang, what's going on?" Li Muxiu asked, frowning.
Although he dislikes the other party intensely now, he needs to understand the situation because it is such a major event that he might step in at any time to provide assistance to Liang Prefecture.
Li Tiangang held the Military Report in silence for a long time. Only after the others inquired with concern did he hand the Military Report over to them for them to read on their own.
Gao Qingqing quickly looked over, and only when she saw that the Military Report did not record the things that had made her nervous and afraid did she breathe a sigh of relief. Then she was so shocked by the information inside that she was speechless.
"Hao'er actually participated in the Grandmaster Assembly?"
"How is this possible? He actually defeated Li Qianfeng's Senior Brother! That Qin Wuque Prodigy who suppressed the Heaven Dragon Rankings for three years. During this period, he was undoubtedly the number one in the Great Yu!"
"And he even defeated all the Grandmaster in the All Under Heaven in debates?"
"Hao'er only just entered the Heaven and Man Realm, how could he defeat even Grandmaster?"
Everyone was shocked when they saw the Intelligence about the Grandmaster Assembly, Forbidden Zone exclaim in surprise.
Li Muxiu also found it, and his face immediately lit up with joy. His eyes shone brightly, and he exclaimed, "Good, good, good!"
He burst into laughter.
This was the most carefree and joyful moment he had experienced in recent times.
That brat always manages to surprise us!
Li Muxiu couldn't stop smiling, secretly shocked by Li Hao's terrifying growth rate. He had witnessed it before, but now it seemed to be even faster.
Has that child, who used to only care about playing, finally decided to work hard and cultivate himself?
Is this his true cultivation speed?
Li Muxiu laughed heartily, looking at Li Tiangang. Seeing the other's silent expression, he gave a slight, cold laugh and said:
"Li Tiangang, Qin Wuque, the Buddha Master's Personal Disciple, entered the Heaven and Man Realm at the age of nineteen; his talent is extremely high!"
"Back then, you also entered the Heaven and Man Realm at the age of nineteen, right? Hao'er defeated you when you were young!"
"And, it only takes one finger!"
