Tuoqi King

Enough with the chit-chat, let's get started.

Li Fan and his two companions flew directly on their swords, heading straight for Tuoqi King's camp to challenge him. The cultivators in the camp also noticed this and flew out to form a battle formation.

Tuoqi King did not personally lead the battle, but instead remained in his royal tent with many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. However, he did not underestimate the three sword cultivators who came to challenge him. This time, he dispatched ten Nascent Soul Stage shamans and hundreds of Golden Core level demon soldiers, who flew in in droves to test their abilities.

The Hu Barbarians's plan was simple: first, send a few hundred demon soldiers to their deaths to test the strength of these three sword immortals and their abilities; then, the shamans would split up and attack, using numbers to defeat the few.

The tactics of the Beichen Sword Sect are a bit more complex, after all, they are personally taught by the Profound Heaven Sword Intent and are the tactics used to break through the Ten Thousand Demon Formation during the Northern Expedition.

In short, this is a three-person tactical team consisting of assault, cover, and vigilance. The assault and cover are rotated alternately. One person uses wide-range sword techniques and sword energy to launch area attacks, while the other seizes the opportunity to launch a sword rainbow and sword escape attack, rushing into the enemy formation to kill. Then the other person switches over to recover their energy and regulate their breathing. In short, one person uses wide-range sword techniques to provide cover and create opportunities, while the other uses flying swords to charge and break through the formation. This alternation is repeated, advancing all the way forward with unstoppable momentum.

The third person in the guard position follows closely behind, providing cover to prevent assassinations from nearby enemies, to prevent the assault team from failing to achieve a quick kill and getting bogged down in a prolonged battle, or to prevent others from running out of energy or being seriously injured. In short, they will proactively fill in and provide support in any emergency. With three people in a group, and someone providing support, the attackers can charge forward without worrying about their rear, and they don't need to be distracted and miss any opportunities.

The tactics were exactly as described, nothing fancy: Li Fan and Yao Xuanzhou would take turns charging in, while Li Wugou would provide support from behind. Rather than a coordinated sword formation, it mainly depended on the individual sword immortals' skills.

Especially for those in assault positions, they must be the first to charge into the encirclement, and at least take advantage of cover and support to quickly kill one or two opponents in order to achieve the effect of continuous assault and crush the opponent.

On the other hand, as long as an individual is skilled enough, it doesn't really matter if there are no rotations; just keep charging forward and eliminating opponents.

However, neither Li Fan nor Yao Xuanzhou were in their best condition, and Li Wugou had only just begun practicing sword control. Therefore, the three decided to play it safe, coordinate their tactics, and avoid being too reckless.

Li Fan started by unleashing twenty-four Qiankun Shuanglong Jianlan, with black and White Dragon covering the sky, forcing an oncoming shaman to scatter and dodge. Yao Xuanzhou seized the opportunity, merging with the sword of the Ink Feather Sword, and suddenly turned to kill three people in a row. Then, he flicked his hand and splashed the basic sword energy of the Ink Bamboo Mountain into a rain of five-colored swords, blocking the retreat of the others.

Li Fan then rushed forward, killing one with his palm and two with Yue Po's, instantly killing three people. He then continued to sweep wildly with the Qiankun Double Dragon Sword Technique. Yao Xuanzhou and Mo Yu Sword flipped back and forth, and the two cooperated to behead the remaining four people in a short time.

Li Wugou's swordsmanship was not very good, so he followed behind and watched, slashing here and there, killing the fleeing demon soldiers.

These two surprise attacks broke through the enemy's defenses, which Li Fan and his team felt was reasonable. Although there were some areas where their coordination was not perfect, there were no major mistakes.

This was truly unexpected for Tuoqi King! Are you kidding me?! Ten Nascent Soul Stage were gone in a flash! How can you fight a war like that?! It's like cheating!

So the cultivators in the military camp rushed out to meet the enemy. However, many of them were seriously injured, isolated, had no time to set up formations, or were weak and incompetent. They were quickly overtaken by Li Fan and Yao Xuanzhou, who shattered them with a burst of Sword Light. Caught off guard, several more were killed. Li Wugou followed behind, using four flying swords to bully the weak and defeat the demon soldiers and beasts.

Xuan Tian, "He's out!"

Li Fan also noticed this. Seeing that the three fierce gods were rushing in and killing indiscriminately, and were about to break into the central army, the people in the royal tent could no longer sit still. They transformed and rushed out a four-armed, eight-headed demon god, which should be Tuoqi King.

This person clearly had practiced the Tai Su Dao incorrectly. In addition to his left and right shoulders, he also had arms growing from his chest and back, each holding a large animal bone knife. Pink, eerie flames burned on the bone knives, like four torches igniting the night and illuminating all directions.

Illuminated by the pink firelight, the eight heads were revealed, resembling a bunch of purple grapes piled on shoulders, forming a fleshy hill. From the eight heads, sixteen red eyes shot out rays, piercing a hole in the dark clouds.

Purple moonlight shone through the clouds, illuminating the Demon Lord. The demon god was visibly absorbing the black wind, growing larger and larger. Its eight heads roared in unison, spewing out swirling black winds that sucked in the fleeing monsters, chewing and swallowing them whole to nourish their flesh and blood.

"Prison Court!"

"I'll go! Which move are you going to use!"

Yao Xuanzhou and Li Fan exchanged a glance, then rode their swords into rainbows, their black feathers leaving a golden trail as they slashed diagonally downwards.

The eight heads of the Tuoqi King all looked over at once, letting out a shrill roar and bursting forth with dense red light that swept wildly after the Sword Light. At the same time, he swung his four bone halberds wildly, unleashing endless pink demonic fire. The demonic fire crackled and exploded in the air, and once it touched them, even the allied demonic shamans were burned to ashes. Soon, it whipped up a hurricane-like wall of fire, layer upon layer, side by side, setting the heavens and the earth ablaze with evil fire!

Although Yao Xuanzhou's Sword Light was extremely fast, weaving back and forth, he could never get close enough to kill him. Each time, he was forced back by the dense beams of light, and the space for maneuvering and relocation was being squeezed smaller and smaller by the spreading demonic fire. The situation was critical and fraught with danger!

"Hiss--ha--" Li Fan closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, his hands behind his back forming a hand seal. He held his breath and concentrated his mind, swallowing the evil energy in his mouth. The Tai Sha Sword Embryo floated out from his fingertips, carrying a sky full of black wind, gradually gathering momentum and condensing astonishing power.

"Kill--!" The surrounding shaman warriors and monsters weren't stupid either. They were caught off guard when they were attacked, but Tuoqi King jumped out and used his ultimate skill to stabilize the situation. Then, seven or eight people rushed up and surrounded Li Fan!

Ah--! Frost Wind Cold Rain!

Li Wugou let out a strange howl and pounced in front of Li Fan to block his path. He made a hand seal, and two flying swords, one blue and one white, shot out from behind his back! They came crashing down with rolling waves of icy wind blades! Relying on the sharpness of the swords, he killed one shaman and one demon wolf with each strike!

"Ah--! Autumn Forest Blaze!"

Li Wugou didn't have the ability to control four flying swords at the same time; she could only control two. But she still had two hands, so she drew a brown sword in her left hand and an orange sword in her right, screamed, and pounced down, slashing wildly with both swords. She charged into the formation like a whirlwind, relying on the power of her swords, breaking the enemy's weapon with both swords, then slashing through their chests and lungs, killing another person.

So she blocked the rest and unleashed a flurry of slashes, weaving between blades and beastly teeth, getting covered in blood—it was hard to tell if it was her own or someone else's. Her attacks were incredibly ruthless!

Xuan Tian: "Huh? The movement technique she's using seems to be from the Emei sect?"

At this moment, with enemies on all sides, there was no time to even finish off an enemy or calculate the gains. Li Fan couldn't care less about chatting with Xuan Tian. He seized the time that Yao Xuanzhou and Li Wugou had risked their lives to create for him and opened his eyes wide.

His eyes were like two bright yellow lamps, their pupils and whites indistinguishable, standing out starkly in the darkness.

Indeed! The blood infant has already seeped into Tuoqi King's body!

This time, Li Fan had learned his lesson. Knowing that the Blood Infant was no match for a Divine Transformation at the Nascent Soul stage, he simply used the Blood Infant's eyes to examine the Demon Lord and indeed confirmed that the Primordial Essence Core of the Tuoqi King was hidden in his heart. So he didn't hold back.

"Sword Essence!"

The black sword tip, wreathed in malevolent energy, shot out, piercing through the demonic fire and shattering the Tuoqi King's physical body in one strike!

Xuan Tian appraised it, saying, "The power is acceptable, but it's too slow. If you use it to fight against the Xuanmen swordsmen, you'll die before they can even hit you."

Li Fan broke out in a cold sweat. "There's no need to put it like that, and look how pitifully he's screaming..."

Tuoqi King, "Awooooooooo!"

After all, it seemed to be quite powerful. Although it was only a wound made by the tip of a sword the size of a sparrow's tongue, a large part of Tuoqi King's body collapsed and rotted, as if a missile had blasted a big hole in it. The flesh and bones inside were clearly visible, obviously corrupted and disintegrated by the evil energy!

Taking advantage of the moment, Yao Xuanzhou swiftly turned his Sword Light and severed half of Tuoqi King's head!

The blood infant also took the opportunity to erode the primordial spirit of the Tuoqi King! Of the remaining four heads, one clearly transformed into the appearance of a blood infant, its mouth open, tearing at its 'brother' beside it! Countless blood infant faces began to grow on the surface of the entire body, as if sores were forming, and it began to writhe and collapse wildly!

Xuan Tian said, "This attack is too slow. Let's try to speed it up. Weakening the power a bit is fine too. The murderous aura can kill a person if it hits their lungs."

So Li Fan tried to gather his baleful aura again, but Tuoqi King wasn't stupid. He immediately realized that the one who had caused him such a great loss was this skinny Daoist priest. So he roared and, ignoring Yao Xuanzhou's interference and the blood infant's corrosive influence on his body, he spun like a top, his four bone knives, imbued with demonic fire, slashing towards Li Fan like a fan of blades!

As his body grew larger, not only did his moves become more powerful, but his attack range also increased significantly. Li Fan had to use his Moon Soul to dodge in a panic, but he was still slashed by a flurry of blades. He was almost hit by the powerful attacks several times, and only managed to escape thanks to the interference of his Blood Infant.

Yao Xuanzhou seized the opportunity to unleash his attacks, breaking off three of Tuoqi King's arms in quick succession!

However, Tuoqi King clearly sensed that the Sword Essence gathered at Li Fan's fingertips possessed the power to kill him. So, determined to kill, he disregarded the severe injury to his body and suddenly a figure clad in armor burst forth from his body! He directly abandoned the body of the Tai Su Demon God and charged forward in his physical form! The demonic flame blade in his hand surged with energy! He swung the blade, aiming straight for Li Fan's head!

This Tuoqi King was indeed a master of the Divine Transformation Realm; the power of his strike sent chills down Li Fan's spine! Unfortunately, it was utterly useless!

"Heavenly Robe!" Li Fan shouted, waving his arms. His murderous Heavenly Robe transformed into two large hands, grabbing the Flaming Blade!

"Sword Essence!" At the same time, he made a sword finger with his hand, his index and middle fingers holding the sword core, and thrust the sword towards Tuoqi King's heart!

The Tuoqi King, however, showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he sneered! After all, he had approached Li Fan at close range because he was confident in his Nascent Transformation Stage cultivation and wanted to suppress him with his power and crush him in close combat! So he ignored the sword finger and threw a punch at Li Fan's head! He was fully confident that his fist would arrive first and he would blast this kid to dust!

But Xuan Tian suddenly froze him.

Caught off guard, Tuoqi King was ambushed. Though only a fraction of a second too slow, he watched helplessly as the Sword Essence pierced through his animal hide armor, penetrating his heart like a needle in tofu. Then, Li Fan's sword finger transformed into a ghostly claw, tearing open his chest and ribs, disemboweling him, and scooping out half of his heart and liver! Blood gushed forth!

"Awoooooo!"

Tuoqi King screamed and kicked Li Fan away, but he had already suffered a serious injury. A bloody hole was torn in his chest, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose!

"Cut!"

Yao Xuanzhou turned and charged forward, slashing with his sword!

Tuoqi King raised his arm to block, but his left arm was cut off and half of his neck was severed. Not daring to continue the fight, he turned and fled!

"Frost Wind Cold Rain!" Li Wugou, with her sword forked, blocked the demon's claws and roared angrily.

A pair of flying swords fell in a cross pattern, aiming for the head of the Tuoqi King, but he swept them away with a fiery blade!

Li Fan then did a dozen somersaults to dissipate the force, and looking down, he saw that the scales on his abdomen had been kicked to pieces, but thankfully they hadn't been blown apart.

Pshaw—this guy's just so-so.

"Moon Soul!"

Before the words were even finished, a silver light had already swept up!

Tuoqi King wanted to blast the flying sword away as before! But how could Yuepo's sword power be compared to that of a novice like Li Wugou!

In order to save face in front of the patriarch, the rabbit mustered all its strength, circled around three times, and severed the right arm and right leg of the Tuoqi King!

Yao Xuanzhou also swung his sword back and struck again! He severed Tuoqi King's left leg, almost cutting him in two! He knocked Tu Qi Wang off the clouds!

"Aaaaaah--! Adachi, come help me! Aaaaah!"

The furious roar of Tuoqi King resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Southern Barbarians, how dare you!! Don't you dare harm my Anda!" A thunderous roar resounded! Indeed, another Hu Barbarians king at the Divine Transformation stage had rushed from the north to lend a hand! It must be the Right Wise King!

"Forty-weighted Gang Fist, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofts (Gang Fist Forty Weights) Suddenly, from the north, another earth-shaking and terrifying aura burst out! It was so exciting that all the hairs on Li Fan's body exploded!

"Aaaaaah--!" Before the Right Wise King even flew up to him, he let out a scream and disappeared from Li Fan's blind observation range!

Oh no... was he sent flying? Or was he blown to pieces? Just one punch? No way... is this for real...?

"Let me go... what was that just now... what the hell is the Forty Heavy Gang Fist..."

Li Fan looked north with a hint of fear. The aura seemed to belong to Zhang Ji, but it vanished in an instant, probably after only one move. However, the power that had just erupted was truly terrifying...

Xuan Tian was speechless. "The Gang Fist is a secret technique of the Ancient Immortal Palace. It can sacrifice life force to stimulate potential and increase destructive power. However, the damage is too excessive, and it is a life-for-life move, so basically no one uses it anymore. In the past, it was used by the Martial God of the Dou Department to fight against the Demon Gods. One punch could take down at least two... By the way, you still have time to worry about that? Deal with this first!"

Oh oh.

Li Fan then came to his senses and saw that Tuoqi King limbs had been severed, was spitting blood and struggling to escape by flying away. Several shamans who tried to help him were all cut down by Yao Xuanzhou. The demon god's body had already been reduced to more than half an infant, while Li Wugou was still howling and fighting a group of demons with his sword...

"Real Person Li, are you alright over there?"

"I can handle this, damn it!"

Let's just ignore her then.

So Li Fan made a hand seal, used the Moon Soul to pull around his body, and used his sword to teleport in front of Tuoqi King to block his path.

"Wait! Wait!" Tuoqi King cried, "A lifetime of cultivation is not easy! If you release me from this life, I am willing to surrender! I will be loyal to you and serve you as your slave for three lifetimes without regret!"

Li Fan shrugged, gathering Sword Essence energy at his fingertips. "That won't do. I've taken a pledge to take your head."

"What! A military order! You want to exterminate them all! To forever suppress my troops?! Then let's all die together!"

Tuoqi King was filled with grief and indignation, his eyes wide with rage. Suddenly, fine red lines, like shattered glass, appeared on his body, and snaked together to form a red character between his brows: God.

Xuan Tian was shocked, "Run!"

Li Fan instinctively used his teleportation ability to pull away. He then heard the Tuoqi King let out a furious roar.

"Heavenly God Blood Dissolution!"

There was no earth-shattering explosion; with a soft "poof, "Tuoqi King was blown into a cloud of blood mist, which, to Li Fan high in the sky, looked like nothing more than a cloud of pink smoke.

Seriously... You wouldn't even let me earn this much money if you killed yourself??

Xuan Tian suddenly spoke, "Go! Escape!"

Kindness?

Xuan Tian roared, "Tell them to escape! No! It's too late! Forget about them! Go on your own!"

Then Li Fan also saw it: the blood mist gathered together and transformed into a bright red human figure.

In the next frame, the blood-red figure flashed and landed in front of Li Fan, a pure blood-red silhouette floating before Li Fan.

The blood plasma separated, and then, like a human face, it grinned.

"To actually manage to unleash a clone of myself... Ah... that's it... who else could it be... naturally, it's you... old friends..."

Alright, now we've really seen it, the genuine Blood God Child... But don't panic! Xuan Tian! What do we do?

Xuan Tian said, "Good, that's ambitious! Then I'll teach you a move now, the Beichen Lineage! Sword Embryo Flying Crossing! The Technique of Corpse Dissection Reincarnation! The rest is up to luck..."

Damn it!
