An unassailable position

During the struggle, Lie Shanyi mobilized all his strength, so much so that when he fell backward, he even shattered the Void.

He quickly steadied himself, and his Divine Sense sense immediately detected the Flying Sword that had been entangled with him earlier, tearing through the Void as it approached.

He reached out and grabbed it, and the spear flew into his hand.

The spears danced, transforming into an absolute defensive barrier that enveloped them.

In the midst of a series of Weapons, nicks and slits appeared on his spear.

The quality of his Dao Artifact was far inferior to that of the Flying Sword. Even with the power of the Dao Principle Imprint Empowerment to it, it was still slightly inferior.

The connection between him and the Purple Flame Demon Suppressing Ring was severed, and his Divine Soul was also slightly damaged. He was now at a disadvantage and could not break free from the sword's momentum for a moment.

At the same time, Gu Yuanqing's gaze fell on several giant Tower Ship. He hadn't planned to deal with the Cultivator on board, but since they had attacked him earlier, that was a different matter.

While wielding the Demon Subduing Sword to fight against Lie Shanyi, he flicked his fingers a few times with his other hand, and the power of the Formless Calamity Finger instantly descended upon the Tower Ship.

Several holes suddenly appeared in the Protective Barrier above, allowing the power of the Great Five Elements Divine Thunder to enter.

The three divine Divine General used the power of the Formation to attack, and when they touched the Divine Thunder, the Five Elements Divine Thunder lightning immediately transformed into thousands of wisps that attacked various parts of the Tower Ship.

In an instant, countless soldiers turned to ashes, while others appeared unharmed, but their Divine Soul were obliterated and they fell backward.

The three Divine General were also injured.

"Retreat!" Wei Qin shouted sternly.

The Tower Ship retreated rapidly, but Gu Yuanqing immediately launched a second wave of attacks.

With a roar, the North Suppressing Divine King unleashed the Divine Ability of the Lie Shan Tribe, transforming into Gods and Devils body a thousand feet tall. Runes shimmered on his body, and the power of four Dao Principle Imprint intertwined, forming a domain barrier that blocked all of Gu Yuanqing's attacks.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and unleashed his true power, the Demon Subduing Sword transforming into countless forms to create Sword Formation.

The Sword Domain enveloped everything, and all the Vital Energy in the air transformed into Sword Qi, crisscrossing within the Sword Domain and weaving into an impenetrable net that attacked all enemies within the Sword Formation.

Even ordinary cultivators, if their minds wander even slightly, will feel a sharp sword suddenly appear within their Divine Soul, slashing towards Divine Soul.

At the same time, the Demon Subduing Sword Formation itself also has the meaning of confinement and suppression. The Demon Subduing Sword itself can also move between the illusory phantoms, appearing in front and behind at any moment, and each appearance is the most incredible.

Lie Shanyi's body began to show wounds, and they were increasing. If they were ordinary wounds, he could heal them in the blink of an eye, but even if he could obliterate the Sword Qi of the Demon Subduing Sword, it would take him some time.

Moreover, the various Law Treasure on his body began to be damaged.

His expression changed slightly; he dared not linger there any longer and retreated, protecting the three Flying Boat.

Although the Formation on these Three Tower Ships are capable of fighting against the Huntian of Yin-Yang, it depends on the level of the opponent. The opponent is clearly a being at the God King level, which is not something that the Formation on the Flying Boat can defeat.

In the blink of an eye, the man and his three boats had retreated to a place tens of thousands of miles away.

Gu Yuanqing also stopped and raised his hand to recall the Demon Subduing Sword.

This battle also gave him a better understanding of his own strength after he benefited from the help of North Spring Grotto-Heaven.

Facing Cultivator of Lie Shanyi's level, it would be difficult to kill him unless at close range. Don't be fooled by how easily he captured Lie Shanhan; sometimes, a slight difference in cultivation level can be immeasurably greater.

Lie Shanyi was clearly much stronger than Lie Shanhan. If Lieshan Han hadn't intended to use his Law Treasure to attack North Spring Grotto-Heaven, allowing Lieshan Han to seize the Law Treasure and gain the upper hand, they would probably have fought for a long time without a clear winner.

When Lie Shanhan saw Lie Shanyi retreating after being defeated, he fell silent. This Gu's strength was even greater than he had estimated.

He couldn't understand why such a being was not well-known in the Demon Realm.

Lie Shanyi in the Void, his brows slightly furrowed.

"My lord!" Wei Qin flew over.

"What are the casualties on board?" Lie Shanyi.

Wei Qin's face was grim as he said, "Those at the Yin-Yang Realm are mostly unharmed, but two generals at the Celestial Person Realm level are dead, three are seriously injured, thirty-six are at the Void Heaven Level level, and two hundred and thirty-four soldiers from the Divine Platform have perished."

Lie Shanyi glanced at the wounds on his Battle Armor and said, "I underestimated this man. His strength is no less than mine. Most importantly, the Mountain Array is extremely mysterious. He won't come out of the Mountain, so there's no way to deal with him! Little Nine's Lie Shan Seal must have been taken by him using the Formation."

In fact, this was the real reason why Lie Shanyi retreated. Although Gu Yuanqing's Sword Formation was strong, he might not be without a way to deal with it. However, his attack with the Purple Flame Demon Suppressing Ring was suppressed and taken away by Gu Yuanqing, which meant that he could not kill Gu Yuanqing's main body.

This means the opponent is in an invincible position!

"My lord, what should we do now?" Wei Qin asked.

Lie Shanyi said calmly, "You all wait here. Since he has such strength, then I will speak with him."

"Yes!"

Lie Shanyi one step, and after arriving at a distance of about Three Thousand Li from North Spring Mountain, he stopped going.

He hadn't deliberately calculated the distance, but once he got here, he felt that going any further would be disadvantageous to him—this was Cultivator's instinct.

Gu Yuanqing didn't rush to make a move, and smiled, "Would you like to try again?"

Lie Shanyi said, "Since we've already fought once, there's no point in trying again. You're inside the Formation, so I can't kill you. Let's have a proper chat then."

Gu Yuanqing said, "What do you want to talk about? If it's about recruitment again, there's no need to bring it up again. It's pointless to waste words."

Lie Shanyi said, "Since you say so, Daoist Friend, then let's get to the point. You captured my ninth brother but didn't kill him, which suggests you don't want to completely break ties with my Demon God Mountain. What do Daoist Friend to let him go?"

Gu Yuanqing turned his head and glanced at Lie Shanhan beside him.

Lie Shanhan frowned and said, "Since you have already signed the Nether God Contract, do you intend to use me to extort my six brothers? If so, wouldn't that be somewhat untrustworthy and damage the reputation of your Chaos Heaven Great Cultivator?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled, then suddenly waved his hand, sending Lie Shanhan out of North Spring Grotto-Heaven.

After leaving North Spring Grotto-Heaven, Lie Shanhan immediately regained control of himself. He sensed the Dao Principle Imprint within his body and felt that his cultivation was on the verge of falling into Huntian. With a thought, the surrounding Demonic Qi entered his body. Then, without saying a word, he rode away swiftly in his escape light.

Lie Shanyi taken aback, not expecting that this man surnamed Gu would let Lie Shanhan leave so easily.

Lie Shanhan quickly arrived at Lie Shanyi's side and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had signed the Nether God Contract and believed that the man surnamed Gu would not kill him, his life was ultimately in the hands of another.

"Are you alright?" Lie Shanyi, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Thank you, Sixth Brother Wang." Lie Shanhan smiled wryly, then added, "Don't be surprised. Before you arrived, I had already signed the Nether God Contract with him. I've suffered a huge loss this time."
