A Prince, a Vast Gap

Li Yunjing landed in front of the two, his eyes cold as ice as he swept over the six Devil Cultivator opposite him.

"Oh? The main character has arrived." The young man in the black robe at the head chuckled, his gaze sweeping over Li Yunjing, his tone tinged with mockery, "You're Li Yunjing? That young Dao Union Perfection from the Luozhen Sect? Tsk tsk, quite a handsome young man, what a pity, he'll be buried here today."

"Who are you?" Li Yunjing asked calmly, but his Spiritual Qi was already quietly circulating.

"Yan Xuanfeng, a disciple of the Seventh Prince," the young man said proudly. "I have come on the orders of His Majesty the Demon Emperor to retrieve the Origin Dao Physique, and incidentally, to send you three on your way."

Huangfu Chenyin said coldly, "Yan Xuanfeng? The Seventh Prince of the Myriad Devil Abyss! How did you know we were here?"

She was both surprised and suspicious.

This mission was extremely secretive; even few within the Immortal Alliance knew of it. How could the Demonic Path have such a precise plan to ambush them at Supreme Unity Divine Mountain? Could there be a traitor within the Immortal Alliance?

Yan Xuanfeng scoffed, offering no reply, but simply waved his hand. "Enough with the nonsense, kill them and search the mountain for their Origin Dao Physique."

"Yes, sir!"

The five demon generals responded simultaneously and attacked together.

In an instant, demonic energy surged to the heavens.

The five black Devil Cultivation Method, like five giant pythons, carrying a bloody Sha Qi, roared towards the three of them.

The trees and rocks in the valley, when touched by the demonic energy, instantly decayed and turned into ashes, a terrifying power.

"Form the formation!" Tie Shan shouted, slamming his Xuantie shield into the ground. The earthen-yellow light intensified, transforming into a thick barrier.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Devil Cultivation Method energy crashed against the barrier repeatedly, producing deafening roars. Tie Shan groaned, took a half-step back, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

The Mystic Iron Formation shook violently, and cracks spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With just one strike, Tie Shan was slightly injured.

After all, he was fighting five opponents, all of whom were at the Dao Union Perfection.

Huangfu Chenyin's figure blurred as he rushed out from behind the formation, his Mystic Yin Law Enforcement Whip transforming into dozens of whip shadows, lashing towards the demon general on the far left.

The whip tip carried a chilling aura, freezing even some of the demonic energy in its wake.

"You're courting death!" the demon general roared, swinging his sword to meet the attack.

The blade and whip clashed, creating a shockwave.

Huangfu Chenyin swayed, using the momentum to retreat, her face paling even more.

There are too many of them; they won't gain any advantage in a head-on confrontation.

At this critical moment, a pale blue sword light suddenly appeared.

quick.

Extremely fast.

No one saw how Li Yunjing drew his sword; they only saw a sword light as clear as autumn water slice through the demonic energy, like a hot knife through butter, instantly piercing the foreheads of the three demon generals.

Taiyi Sword Instruction.

Li Yunjing had cultivated for several years and his skills were already highly refined.

Combined with the original Daoist principles of the Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture, the sword light inherently possesses the effect of Break Evil, making it extremely effective against Devil Cultivator.

The three demon generals had just rushed up, their old strength gone and new strength yet to arise, so they had no time to react.

"Ugh!"

Three almost overlapping muffled groans.

The three demon generals stared wide-eyed, their eyes still filled with disbelief and terror.

The next second, their physical bodies and souls were pulverized by the primordial Dao essence contained in the sword light, turning into dust that filled the sky, leaving not even a trace.

One move.

He instantly killed three cultivators at the peak of the Dao Union Perfection.

The valley fell silent instantly.

Yan Xuanfeng's smile froze, and his hand, which was raised halfway, stopped in mid-air.

The remaining two demon generals also stopped in their tracks, trembling with fear, and looked at Li Yunjing as if they had seen a ghost.

Huangfu Chenyin and Tie Shan were also stunned.

They knew Li Yunjing was strong; after all, he was a Dao Union Perfection, the leader of a sect, and the strongest among the three of them.

The difference between Dao Union Perfection Dao Union Perfection can be this great? That's three Dao Union Perfection! They're not like cabbages on the roadside!

Li Yunjing stood with his sword in hand, his blue robes fluttering, a faint blue Daoist aura flowing around him. He looked at Yan Xuanfeng with a cold gaze. "With so few men, you dare to try and steal the Origin Dao Physique?"

His tone was calm, yet it carried a commanding presence.

Yan Xuanfeng came to his senses, both shocked and furious.

He brought five men with him this time, and with himself, he thought victory was assured, but unexpectedly, three of his men were killed as soon as they met.

Li Yunjing's strength is far greater than what was said in the intelligence!

"Very well, very well indeed." Yan Xuanfeng gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "I underestimated you, but do you think this is all the men you have?"

He suddenly pursed his lips and let out a sharp whistle.

The void twisted.

Three dark figures emerged from the spatial rift; they were three more Devil Cultivator Dao Union Perfection Realm.

These three had an even more sinister aura, and their bodies were covered with demonic runes, clearly indicating that they were veteran masters in the demonic path.

Including Yan Xuanfeng himself and the remaining two Dao Union Perfection, there are a total of six Dao Union Perfection.

"Now, six against three." Yan Xuanfeng's face broke into a sinister grin again. "I'll personally confront you. You five, go kill those two. I want to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"

Before the words were finished, two demon generals pounced on Huangfu Chenyin, and three demon generals pounced on Tie Shan.

Yan Xuanfeng himself summoned a pitch-black demonic blade, its blade wrapped in blood-red demonic patterns. With a single slash, it transformed into a black blade beam tens of feet long, heading straight for Li Yunjing's head.

"Watch out!" Huangfu Chenyin exclaimed.

Li Yunjing's eyes narrowed, but he neither flinched nor dodged, and his long sword slashed diagonally.

Bite!

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the valley.

The sword light and the blade's edge collided, creating a shockwave that instantly turned the surrounding trees and rocks into dust.

Li Yunjing remained completely still, while Yan Xuanfeng was forced back two steps by the shock, his heart filled with horror.

In a head-on confrontation, he actually lost?

But Li Yunjing was not at ease.

He can overpower Yan Xuanfeng, but Huangfu Chenyin and Tie Shan definitely can't hold out.

Sure enough, just a few breaths later, Tie Shan's muffled groan came from the other side.

"Bang!"

The Xuantie shield was dented by a punch, Tie Shan took a solid blow to the chest, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. The earthen yellow protective shield instantly dimmed.

The three demon generals who were besieging him all grinned maliciously, and each of them reached out with their claws to grab his crown.

"Tie Shan!" Huangfu Chenyin was anxious to provide support, but the two demon generals in front of her were tightly entangled, and she couldn't break free at all.

She was already struggling to fight two opponents alone, and when she was distracted for a moment, her shoulder was swept by a demonic claw, leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone. Black demonic energy rushed into her meridians through the wound.

"Sect Leader Li! I can't hold on any longer!" Tie Shan roared, taking another kick before staggering and falling to the ground, the Mystic Iron Formation shattering completely.

Li Yunjing's heart tightened.

We can't delay any longer.

He feinted with his sword, forcing Yan Xuanfeng back, and then turned to go and save Tie Shan.

"Trying to leave? Stay here!" A ruthless glint flashed in Yan Xuanfeng's eyes. He bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood.

The demonic blade absorbed the Essence Blood, instantly increasing in size several times over. Its crimson blade light blotted out the sky, and with a posture of mutual destruction, it relentlessly entangled Li Yunjing.

This is Blood Burning Secret Method of the demonic path, which can greatly increase one's strength in a short period of time, but at the cost of depleting one's own essence.

Li Yunjing had no choice but to turn around and defend himself.

"Bang!"

Another tough battle.

This time, Li Yunjing also took a half step back.

Yan Xuanfeng attacked like a madman, each strike deadly, not seeking to injure his enemy, but only to entangle him.

He understood perfectly that once the other two were killed, Li Yunjing, no matter how strong he was, would be no match for four opponents.
