Liang Prefecture, in the Eastern Border.

Beyond the Great Wall, where Blackstone lie, the Heaven and Earth landscape unfolds before your eyes.

Gray clouds hung heavy, and the grassland was still.

Inside the Great Wall lies a vast Frontier defense line, with Patrol Squad in light armor patrolling back and forth.

Inside the military camp, Li Tiangang held a Military Report in his hand, which contained recent intelligence on the situation in various parts of Liang Prefecture.

Six months ago, Demon attacked from the Northern Lands, but he sent a Secret Letter to the Xia Family, instructing them to send Border Defense Army to help, which drove the Demon away.

The Xia Family was unwilling to cross the border, after all, this was a matter for the Li Family. Although the Xia Family and the Li Family had a decent relationship, it was still a bit of a stretch to send troops across the border to help, unless there was a major disaster that would shake up the cities.

However, Li Tiangang's letter clearly stated that it was very likely a test by the Demon. If the Xia Family did not take action and remained on the sidelines, the Demon Beyond the Border Liang Prefecture would use the Northern Lands as a breakthrough point and turn that area into the largest battlefield.

The battlefield will inevitably affect the Xia Family's Ji Province, which will only cause the Xia Family to suffer greater losses.

Therefore, he shared some military intelligence from Liang Prefecture, including the strict defenses of the Western Border of Liang Prefecture and the presence of a powerful expert at the Four Establishments Realm Heaven's Gate Pass in the South. This made the Xia Family realize that the fire might spread to them, so they joined forces with the Liang Province Military Headquarters in the Northern Lands to drive away the Demon.

From then on, just as Li Tiangang had predicted, no more Demon were seen in the Northern Lands.

The Xia Family also witnessed the Military Strategy of this contemporary True Dragon of the Li Family. No wonder they were able to fight against Demon for more than ten years and finally win despite being at such a disadvantage in Northern Yan.

"The Demon on Fifth Brother's side haven't shown up for a long time. These Demon pretended to retreat after a feint, but unfortunately, the Demon Tide from Liu Province hasn't retreated or attacked. Their feint was too obvious!"

"That's where the restraint lies!"

"The real killing moves of these Demons are not in Liu Province, but in Liang Prefecture, or perhaps You Province!"

Li Tiangang's eyes were cold. He had been stationed in Liang Prefecture for almost a year. Since his first arrival, when he drove back the Demon that had invaded the Eastern Border, these Demons had not dared to launch large-scale attacks again, only occasionally harassing the area.

His gaze swept across the entire Liang Prefecture region, but beyond Liang Prefecture, he also discerned the true intentions of the Demon from the Intelligence gathered from other states.

This is why he has stayed here for so long, without leaving despite the lack of fighting.

He had seen through the Demon's intentions.

"Reconstruction of Azure Cliff City..."

Li Tiangang looked at the information he had gathered from the Intelligence, but his expression was somewhat gloomy.

With Li Hao overseeing things at Heaven's Gate Pass in the South, he naturally paid close attention, but the news that kept coming in made him anything but happy.

Since Li Muxiu and Lu Chunsheng, the Heavenly Secrets Grandmaster, stepped in to help Li Hao defeat the three old Demon King, including the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon King, who had been entrenched Outside the Pass for many years, Heaven's Gate Pass has enjoyed peace for many years.

In this peace, the city that had been so badly damaged that only small mounds remained was rebuilt.

This should have been a good thing, a joyous occasion.

Li Tiangang could understand.

But if it were just building a city, that would be fine. Being able to construct Magic Array is also a way of rebuilding a defensive line.

After the city was built, people from all states were allowed to go there at will. The city gates were left open without any intention of stopping them. Many people even moved Past, and merchants settled down. It was as if the Border Pass was being developed as an inner city.

At present, Azure Cliff City is extremely prosperous and bustling, like a large city deep within the territory.

But this is not within our territory, it's on the Frontier!

Demon may attack at any time!

Especially considering the current precarious situation in Liang Prefecture, if the Demon were to attack Heaven's Gate Pass, it would be another bloody battle, resulting in countless deaths and injuries!

"They become arrogant after achieving some success."

"Hongzhuang too, she didn't stop them. Children don't understand, but doesn't she? She's been guarding the Border Pass for so many years, can't she see through the false prosperity!"

Li Tiangang's face was gloomy. Everyone who approached the child seemed to dote on him excessively, letting him run wild.

My Second Uncle is like this, my Fifth Uncle is like this, my Eldest Sister-in-Law is like this, and now, even my youngest sister, who has been fighting on the battlefield and guarding the Border Pass for many years, is the same!

Is it simply because that child Unparalleled Heavenly Talent?

He acknowledged that Li Hao was exceptionally Heavenly Talent, far surpassing him, but precisely because of this, he could not indulge him!

Considering Li Hao's various behaviors, he only regretted that he had intervened too late.

The battle in Northern Yan lasted far too long, preventing him from returning home in time, which has been his greatest regret these past few days.

"Bring me paper and a pen."

Li Tiangang relayed an order that he would write a military decree instructing Li Hongzhuang at Heaven's Gate Pass to disperse the city's inhabitants.

As Border Pass town, it only needs a small population to circulate goods. Gathering so many people here is simply harmful.

Upon hearing this, Li Fu immediately turned to get paper and pen, but just then, a roar suddenly swept in from the distant Frontier:

"Li Tiangang, come out and face your death!!"

The terrifying sound waves, though from a great distance, caused the curtains of the military tent to vibrate.

Li Fu's expression changed drastically as he stepped out of the tent, filled with shock and anger. His Divine Soul surged out from behind him, leaping into the air and gazing towards the Beyond the Border.

There stood a tiny black dot, hands clasped behind its back, suspended in mid-air, clad in a magnificent, gilded battle robe, its gaze icy.

Li Fu's expression changed slightly. Even from a distance, he could feel the terrifying, abyss-like pressure emanating from the other party, making him tremble.

Based on his years of experience fighting alongside Li Tiangang, he could tell at a glance that it was the Demon King!

Before Li Fu could even turn around and report, the commotion had already alerted all the Frontier military camps in the vicinity.

Hearing this furious shout, Li Tiangang's eyes narrowed slightly. Had these beasts finally lost their patience?

He took a step forward, walked out of the military camp, and soared straight into the sky.

Gazing at each other from afar, beyond the Frontier defense line, the Demon King in his magnificent gilded battle robe met his gaze.

"It's good that you're still here!"

When Lord Fengshan saw Li Tiangang, he felt a sense of relief. He had been holding back his anger for so long, and now he finally had someone to vent it on.

That damned brat ruined his life!

You only had one Fate-Reversal Opportunity, and you used it all up like that! This is tantamount to a death sentence!

"Prepare to die!!"

Lord Fengshan roared, summoning a Crimson Flame spear from his hand, and suddenly charged forward.

Inside the defensive line, everyone was horrified.

This is the first time Demon King has attacked a city, challenging it alone—it's utterly outrageous!

"Magic Array!"

Li Tiangang's eyes were cold, but he showed no panic. Instead, he roared angrily.

His loud shouts echoed throughout the field, instantly calming the previously shaken morale of the troops.

Lord Fengshan's spear, wreathed in flames and divine Divine Radiance, triggered the Magic Array the moment it reached the Frontier.

The Magic Array burst forth like thousands of golden rays, condensing into a protective shield that covered and enveloped the defense.

Golden runes flowed across the surface, containing profound Dao Resonance power related to Xingchen and the Heavenly Stems.

Lord Fengshan's attack was blocked by the Magic Array, but it made the Magic Array tremble. His eyes blazed with Crimson Flame as he attacked one after another, his spear constantly bombarding the Magic Array, causing it to ripple with golden light.

At this time, the troops inside the defensive line had quickly assembled into an army, with extremely high efficiency.

The first to form ranks was the Li Family's strongest military camp, the Yuan Character Camp!

A full Yuan Character Camp communicated with the Magic Array, injecting their own power into Magic Array.

With the help of this Six Phases Star Array, the commander of the Ten Yuan Character Camp can withstand the Demon King's attack for the time it takes for One Incense Stick to burn!

"Yu Xuan, quick, notify all other camps to enter a state of full combat readiness! The Demon army could arrive at any moment!"

Li Tiangang quickly relayed the order to Yu Xuan beside him.

Yu Xuan was slightly taken aback, then immediately realized that the Demon King was risking being wanted by the authorities to come and challenge them, most likely to draw fire.

However, there was no Demon Tide Outside the Pass, indicating that the rest of the Demon army may have rushed to other parts of the defense line.

He immediately accepted the order and left.

A series of horn calls soon rang out from within the defensive line, echoing continuously until, in the blink of an eye, the entire defensive line was filled with the ancient, barbarian-like horn cries.

Upon hearing the bugle call to prepare for battle, all the military camps within the defensive line tensed up, quickly donned their armor and took up their posts, ready for combat at any moment.

At the farthest point of the defensive line, on the horizon beyond the Beyond the Border, the ground trembled as a massive, dark shadow swept in, like a black mudslide, carrying an earth-shattering force.

Seeing that Demon Tide was indeed approaching, the distant defensive line immediately released a battlefield signal.

Beacon fires shot straight into the sky, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds like birdsong.

These beacon fires were also spotted by soldiers on other defensive lines, making them extremely conspicuous.

Li Tiangang also noticed this, and his deduction was indeed correct.

"Kill!"

Li Tiangang's eyes turned cold as he looked at the Demon King who was constantly destroying the Magic Array alone. Suddenly, he stepped forward, using the power of the Magic Array to summon the Demon Soul sealed within Magic Array!

However, he did not unleash the full power of the Magic Array here, as he would still need the Magic Array's power to counter the upcoming Demon attack.

He summoned only a Demon Soul and merged it into his body.

He raised his hand and summoned a dazzling divine Divine Saber from the military tent. At the same time, pieces of Battle Armor that had already been removed flew out and were put on him.

Shoulder armor, cape, breastplate, wrist guards, knee pads, combat boots, etc.

In the blink of an eye, he was fully dressed in his Battle Armor, holding a Divine Saber, which was covered and burned with intense Divine Might.

"Die!!"

Li Tiangang took a step forward, like a domineering and mighty War God, and charged out of the Magic Array towards the Demon King.

"A mere Three Immortalities Realms dares to court death!"

"Just like your damned, beastly son, you'd all die!!"

When Lord Fengshan saw that Li Tiangang had actually taken the initiative to fight, he couldn't help but laugh, but his face turned into a furious and ferocious expression.

The spear swept out suddenly, carrying intense flames that scorched and distorted the air.

With the aid of Dao Resonance, his attack will not miss.

Facing the Phoenix-Flame Spear, the Demon Soul covering Li Tiangang erupted with a fierce roar, and the Divine Might on the blade shone brightly as he slashed out violently.

The blade's light, like a golden river, cleaved the Heaven and Earth, severing the phoenix flames.

But after the phoenix flames shattered, they transformed into a sea of fire, which suddenly enveloped Li Tiangang's body.

The intense heat caused the golden runes on the Magic Array to flicker and twist continuously, rapidly depleting its energy.

Lord Fengshan suddenly raised his hand, uttered Dao Phoenix, and his body spiraled out rapidly, breaking through the sea of fire, and thrust his spear towards Li Tiangang's chest.

With a loud bang, Li Tiangang's body was forced back and slammed hard into the Magic Array.

But then, Li Tiangang's body charged out again, the Demon Soul within him sinking and merging into his body. His Aura strengthened slightly, and he continued to slash and strike.

"You also want to emulate your son and slay the Demon King with the Three Immortalities?!"

"Not enough! Not enough! Not enough!!"

Lord Fengshan's eyes gleamed with a piercing light as he roared, "You're far inferior to your son!!"

"You bastard, you're asking for death!!"

Li Tiangang's eyes widened in fury, and he suddenly unleashed a terrifying slash, unleashing power that made the blade's light shine like a rainbow.

Lord Fengshan stepped back to avoid the blade's edge. Seeing Li Tiangang pursuing him, a mocking glint appeared in his eyes. He swung his spear fiercely, shattering the second Divine Might Blade strike that Li Tiangang had unleashed.

You deserve to die!

Suddenly, a fiery wing formed from the True Phoenix Blazing Flames appeared behind Lord Fengshan. Then, he abruptly stopped and charged towards Li Tiangang.

He attacked by displacing the air in front of Li Tiangang, and his body moved as if by teleportation, instantly arriving at the scene!

The spear swept horizontally, then thrust down towards Li Tiangang's head.
