Li Xuanli was shocked. Li Hao's Battle Flag intimidated the demons, and its power was beyond his imagination, yet he could not understand it.

Li Qingling and Li Xueyun, who were beside him, were also stunned and somewhat puzzled. Even the Imperial Family Battle Flag didn't seem to have such an imposing aura, did it?

Was that the name they were calling out their grand-nephew?

"Kill!"

"If that kid doesn't come out, kill them all and force him to come out!"

Seeing that Li Hao had not shown up for a long time, the five Demon Kings were enraged. The Abyssal Dragon Demon King was the first to attack Thousand Machines Daoist.

The Giant Spider Demon King beside them spat out spider swords at Li Xuanli and the others.

Li Xuanli and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they became somewhat nervous. Although the Battle Flag had frightened these Demon Kings, it was only a fright. If Li Hao and the Four Establishments Realm beside him were not present, it would be of no use.

"Careful!"

Li Hongzhuang's gaze turned serious, and she whispered, "Protect yourselves with all your might!"

After saying that, she suddenly pulled out one of the many Battle Flag from her back and threw it out.

"Careful!"

Upon seeing the approaching Battle Flag, White God Lord hurriedly called out.

The Giant Spider Demon King reacted a little late and was about to dodge when the Battle Flag, under Li Hongzhuang's Object Manipulation, rapidly chased after him.

The Giant Spider Demon King was forced to retreat by the Battle Flag, feeling both ashamed and enraged. How could he, a dignified Demon King, have to give way to a Battle Flag?

He shot out a spider sword, striking from afar and severing the Battle Flag.

The Battle Flag shattered and broke, but the energy symbols sealed within it were also released.

With a whoosh!

A crimson-gold Sword Qi shot into the sky, fiercely attacking the nearest Giant Spider Demon King.

The Sword Qi surged forth, creating a powerful and imposing force, as it cleaved towards the Giant Spider Demon King.

"Asshole!"

The Giant Spider Demon King's pupils shrank in shock. He had known for a long time that the Battle Flag contained Sword Formation, but he had never personally come into contact with it. He did not expect that the power unleashed by this Sword Formation would be so strong!

He unleashed a barrage of spider swords, roaring, "Ten Thousand Swords Pierce the Heavens!"

The snow-white spider silk swords formed Sword Formation, seemingly about to shatter the sky, shooting out Myriad Daos snow-white rainbows that collided one after another.

But that crimson-gold Sword Qi was like a celestial palace, sweeping across the sky and shattering the countless Sword Formation, directly slaying the Giant Spider Demon King.

Puff!

The Giant Spider Demon King's two legs broke off, and Demon Blood splattered everywhere.

The remaining power of the crimson-gold Sword Qi diminished slightly, but it still slashed towards his head. However, the White God Lord beside him intervened and cleaved it in two with a single sword strike.

The sword's edge vibrated, White God Lord felt a chill run down his spine. A mere Sword Formation possessed such ferocity; no wonder a single Military Banner could suppress Three Immortalities Realm!

Not far away, the Demon in the Demon Tide, those at the Three Immortalities Realm, were all horrified by this sight. They secretly rejoiced that they had stopped in time, otherwise, something terrible would have happened!

"Walk!"

Li Hongzhuang transmitted her voice, and at the same time, she quickly threw out two more Military Banner.

Two Military Banner roared upwards in succession, shooting towards the Giant Spider Demon King. The Demon King beside him, whose body resembled a strange insect, immediately stepped forward to help block them, but he was extremely wary and dared not damage the Battle Flag.

Using her Object Manipulation powers, Li Hongzhuang tore the Battle Flag apart in mid-air, unleashing two bursts of Sword Qi once more.

Damn it!

Enraged, the Strange Insect Demon King unleashed a rapidly spinning blood sword that condensed into a sea of blood, blocking its path.

Taking advantage of the situation, Li Hongzhuang, along with Li Xuanli and her two aunts, quickly rushed towards the Magic Array inside the defensive line.

Thousand Machines Daoist also caught his breath and calmed his mind. He could see that the Sword Qi energy in the Military Banner was comparable to the full-force attack of the Dao Heart Realm. In addition, Li Hongzhuang had so many swords on her back, which was a powerful weapon.

Even the five Demon Kings could hold out for a while.

"Don't go!"

Several Demon King attacked in succession, stirring up a sky full of Yao Qi dust and sand to block their way. The earth tore open, and muddy claws like swamp dragons emerged from within, slapping Past them.

Bang!

Thousand Machines Daoist wielded his Nine Section Whip, piercing through the mud claws, and despite his injuries, led Li Hongzhuang and the others out of the encirclement.

Seeing the Demon King pursuing them, Li Hongzhuang unleashed several more Military Banner, which tore through the air, and the Sword Qi energy that erupted injured even her Divine Sense.

Several Sword Qi swept across, attacking indiscriminately, forcing the Demon King back.

The shattered Sword Qi transformed into countless sword shadows, engulfing the Demon King.

"Leave it here!"

Seeing that they were about to reach the Magic Array, the Giant Spider Demon King disregarded the sword shadows and released a large amount of spider silk to lock onto the air in front of them, as if teleporting, to capture them.

But at this moment, his body was subjected to countless sword shadows.

He had long ago realized that the power of these sword shadows had weakened, and even if they did cause him harm, it would only be some pain.

But suddenly, one of the Sword Qi energies struck his body, yet it seemed to penetrate it.

Just as the spider web released by the Giant Spider Demon King blocked Li Hongzhuang and the others, before it could be manipulated and withdrawn, a strong sense of alarm suddenly arose from the bottom of its heart.

His pupils contracted, and he roared in frustration, trying to force the remaining sword shadows back, but it was too late.

His strength rapidly diminished, Divine Soul seemed to be sucked away. All his strength, including his life force, was rapidly fading.

"What's going on...?"

The Giant Spider Demon King was terrified. Its spider eyes scanned its entire body. Although it had endured many sword shadows, it was not seriously injured. Its final injury was that two of its spider legs had just been severed.

But... his consciousness became blurred.

Thump.

The Giant Spider Demon King plummeted straight down, crashing to the ground, its Divine Soul utterly annihilated.

He only Dao Heart Realm; he had no second life.

This bizarre scene caused the several Demon Kings who were about to give chase to pause in their tracks, staring in horror at the Giant Spider Demon King.

If they hadn't seen that the Giant Spider Demon King's life Aura had truly disappeared, they would have thought that the old man had fallen asleep.

How could she sleep so peacefully?

"What happened?"

"He's dead?"

"He wasn't even attacked much, how could he die?"

The Demon King were all terrified and felt a sense of horror.

White God Lord's pupils contracted as he recalled the scene where he had sacrificed his Fate-Reversal Opportunity to escape.

That eerie Aura of death approaching.

Looking at the sky filled with sword shadows, he suddenly realized what was happening and roared, "Don't try to withstand this Sword Qi attack with your bare body!"

"Touching it could be fatal!!"

Hearing his roar, the other three Demon Kings were all astonished.

The physical body cannot touch these countless sword shadows?

The sword shadow attack wasn't strong; could it be a hidden killing move, or perhaps a deadly poison?

Although puzzled, the death of the Giant Spider Demon King seemed to be related to enduring the sword shadow attack.

They immediately fought back with all their might, using Demon Art and weapons to defend themselves.

When in doubt, it's best to proceed with caution.

The death of the Giant Spider Demon King delayed the pursuit of several Demon Kings. At this moment, the Liang Province Commander on the city wall saw Li Hongzhuang and her group rushing towards them and quickly shouted for the generals next to him to borrow the Array Token.

Once he had the Array Token, he quickly rushed out of the Magic Array, handed the Array Token to the group, and led them in.

Once inside the Magic Array, Li Hongzhuang, Li Xuanli, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xuanli looked back and saw his army rushing towards the Magic Array. However, in their Anger, the Demon King attacked the Mystic Unit Army, striking them repeatedly like giant mountains pressing down. Under the fierce attack of the Demon King, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were powerless to resist, and countless men and horses fell to the ground.

Li Xuanli's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"Father."

Li Wushuang ran over, her face still wet with tears.

Li Xuanli glanced at her and saw that she was alright, but there was little joy on his face. Instead, he stared blankly and sadly at the Mystic Unit Army falling one after another in front of him.

Li Hongzhuang also saw it. She stepped out, stood on the city wall, and once again projected three Military Banner to cover the Mystic Unit Army.

This time, however, the Demon King had learned their lesson. Upon seeing the Military Banner, they immediately charged at the Mystic Unit Army, wanting to test whether the Military Banner's attack could truly distinguish Demon Human Race.

Seeing how cunning these Demon Kings were, Li Hongzhuang's heart sank, but she did not tear the Military Banner, otherwise the Mystic Unit Army would also suffer heavy losses.

Seeing this, the Demon King realized the flaws in the Military Banner Sword Formation, sneered, and charged into the Mystic Unit, slaughtering them one after another.

A series of screams rang out, and outside the city, it was a one-sided slaughter.

But the people on the city wall could only watch helplessly, unable to offer any assistance.

The Demon King charged into the Mystic Unit Army, but they dared not attack from a distance, and their attacks were merely tickles to the Demon King.

Soon, as their numbers dwindled, the Mystic Unit Army was slaughtered even faster, leaving only a field of corpses in the blink of an eye.

Despite their valiant efforts and burning of their Divine Soul, they were still unable to stop the four Demon Kings, who could not even catch a glimpse of them.

Gazing at the horrific scene of carnage, where blood flowed like a river, the soldiers on the city walls breathed heavily, gripping their weapons tightly, their hearts filled with shame, indignation, and grief.

At that moment, after the four Demon Kings had finished slaughtering the Mystic Unit Army to vent their anger, Li Hongzhuang Anger detonated the three Military Banner.

Three Sword Qi shot out, chasing after the four Demon Kings.

The four Demon Kings' expressions changed slightly, and they quickly retreated, but the Sword Qi pursued them all the way, shattering their Demon Art. The power of this Sword Qi was extremely strong, and it was unstoppable, wounding and forcing two of the Demon King to retreat.

White God Lord was tracked and locked onto by a Sword Qi. The fear rising in his heart made him flee at full speed into the distance, sprinting at full speed, not daring to confront the Sword Qi.

He felt aggrieved; he, a dignified Demon King, had been chased and forced to flee in disarray by a mere Sword Qi from that brat.

"Asshole!"

The remaining three Demon King looked at Li Hongzhuang standing on the city wall and the dozens of Battle Flag behind her with grim expressions.

With such terrifying Battle Flag, and twenty or thirty more remaining, who could withstand that?

If the opponent unleashes a devastating attack, they might end up like the Giant Spider Demon King.

"What to do?"

"Let's wait for the Grand Elder to arrive. Communication to Grand Elder; only the Grand Elder can resolve this."

The Demon King exchanged glances and decided to send a signal from the Tianji Hall to the Grand Elder, awaiting his reinforcements.

They first besieged the area.

Seeing that the Demon King had retreated and had not attacked the Magic Array, the people on the city wall, though grieving, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the Demon King and the distant Demon Tide did not retreat; they simply stood ten miles outside the city, where they could see each other with the naked eye.

The people on the city wall realized that these Demon Kings were devising a plan, but at this moment they could only wait for reinforcements from their Human Race to arrive.

"General in Hongzhuang, thank goodness you arrived in time."

The Liang Province Commander glanced at the three Demon King standing in mid-air in the distance, then turned his gaze to Li Hongzhuang.

If the enemy hadn't arrived in time to reinforce them, Li Xuanli and Thousand Machines Daoist would likely have perished outside the city. They would now be under fierce attack from the five Demon Kings, and the Magic Array wouldn't last long.

Li Hongzhuang slightly, her heart also pounding. There were actually five Demon Kings. If it weren't for the Battle Flag given to her by Li Hao, even ten of them wouldn't have been of any use to her.

Thinking of Li Hao, she couldn't help but feel worried. What would become of Heaven's Gate Pass after she left?

However, thinking of the numerous Battle Flag on the city wall, she felt much more at ease.

"Whose Battle Flag is this?" Li Qingling asked, looking at her niece with curiosity.

Li Hongzhuang quickly called out "Auntie," and then said, "This is Hao'er's Battle Flag; he is Heavenly Gang's son."

"Is that Hao'er, whose Heavenly Talent surpasses Xiao Jiu's? Has he really gained such a reputation now?"

Both Li Qingling and Li Xueyun were surprised. Although they had guessed it beforehand, they were still somewhat shocked to hear Li Hongzhuang confirm it in person.

Li Hao's reputation spread All Under Heaven, and since he came from the Li Family, even though they had married into a place far away from Qing Prefecture, they had heard the news and paid close attention to it.

If I remember correctly, that child is only fifteen years old this year, right?

"It really is that Young General Haotian," the Liang Province Commander Dark Dao to himself.

Previously in the imperial court, he had questioned the Li Family for treating Heaven's Gate Pass as a joke, allowing a young boy to guard it and disregarding the lives of the people of Liang Prefecture. He never expected that he would be saved because of the other party.

Li Wushuang listened to their conversation, her eyes filled with confusion. She had already tried her best, but why was she drifting further and further away from her cousin?

The closest they ever came to each other seemed to be that confrontation under the tree...

"Heavenly Gang really has a fine son!"

Looking at the numerous Battle Flag on Li Hongzhuang's back, Li Qingling couldn't help but exclaim, "Judging from these Demons, they all seem to recognize the destructive power of these Battle Flag. Compared to Xiao Jiu back then, Heavenly Gang's son's reputation is several times greater."

"Not bad," Li Xueyun agreed.

The death of Li Junye more than a decade ago was a painful memory for the entire Li Family, but now, this scar has been covered by a young man, and he is shining even brighter.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a scout rushed over and arrived in front of the Liang Province Commander, quickly saying:

"We just saw a distress signal on the east side!"

"East side?"

Li Xuanli, who was still staring blankly at the city gates, suddenly turned his head.

He quickly stood up, and his injuries had healed slightly during this brief respite. After all, he had taken drugs earlier, and the effects of the drugs, combined with his body's natural healing mechanisms, were continuously repairing his wounds.

"We've encountered five Demon King here. The Eastern Border is guarded by Xingwu Gong-rank Noble; there should be Demon King there too, right?"

The Liang Province Commander's expression changed slightly.

Li Xuanli's face was grim; there were five of them on their side, and the Eastern Border was likely to have many more.

"Is it Seventh Brother calling for help?"

Li Hongzhuang also changed slightly, and she quickly said, "I'll go and provide backup!"

"I'll go too," Li Qingling said immediately. "I still have the fighting strength."

"Me too," Li Xueyun said. "I haven't used my Unyielding Power yet."

"My two aunts, you shouldn't go."

Li Hongzhuang immediately shook her head and said, "If the Demon King pursues us, it will be useless for you to go. I will use Hao'er's Battle Flag to fight, and that will be enough to deter the Demon King."

Having said that, she didn't delay any longer, took two Array Tokens, and flew away.
