Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 531

Chapter 531: Chapter 69 Second Master!! (Additional 3, 4)_4
 

His handsome face turned pale as paper. Earlier, repeatedly wielding the Xuanyu Heavy Tower had taken a great toll. Although the treasure’s power was immense, the consumption for the wielder was equally substantial, and he had just overexerted himself.

After he quickly swallowed some Divine Medicine to suppress his injuries, Li Tian Gang had already escaped from his Dao Domain, taking Ji Qingqing towards the distant Divine General Mansion.

“Damn it!”

Feng Lingxiao’s expression was grim. He couldn’t tell whether his injury had just flared up due to excessive exertion or if it was the enigmatic Life-Defying Power causing it.

Once the Life-Defying Power was deployed, “unexpected” events would occur, which needed unraveling.

Yet these unexpected events seemed to align with heavenly principles, like long-buried foreshadowing, merely triggered by the Life-Defying Power, rather than felt as a direct, overwhelming force.

This was also why the Heavenly Dao was difficult to comprehend.

Feng Lingxiao dared not pursue Li Tian Gang further. At this moment, the opposing force was entangled with Life-Defying Power. He feared that continued pursuit might bring him other unforeseen disasters. Even though he was in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, he couldn’t cut through the Life-Defying Power and could only watch the opponent escape.

Luckily, the chance to defy fate came once. Killing him later would be the same, unless the other party fled Qingzhou City directly.

“Earlier, you killed ferociously. Now, it’s my turn!”

Feng Lingxiao turned his gaze towards Li Xiaoran and Li Qingzheng. They had slain the Demon King and massacred a large number of Demons, which had long ignited his fury.

Li Xiaoran’s face changed dramatically, and Li Qingzheng’s expression was equally grim, perplexed as to why the Array suddenly shattered—it seemed it could have held on a bit longer.

“Die!”

Feng Lingxiao instantly pursued and attacked the two.

“Run!”

Li Xiaoran shouted, having no intention of fighting head-on. Facing a Grand Tao of Peace Realm wielding the Saint Heart Heavenly Treasure head-on was akin to seeking death.

They could only run!

The escape was a means to stall, a bid for time.

The brothers had an incredible understanding of each other and split up without much exchange, fleeing in different directions.

Meanwhile, as the Array broke down inside the city, a massive Demon Tide swept in, clashing with the soldiers on the city walls.

And those Demon Kings were slaughtering in all directions within the city.

He Jianlan, Gao Qingqing, Li Xuanli, and others, clad in the remnant souls of their ancestors, waged battle against the Demon Tide.

When encountering a Demon King, they could barely engage, but ultimately, their own strength was not of the Four Stands Realm. Borrowing ancestral might, they could only temporarily unleash great power, but were still far inferior to a true Four Stands Realm Demon King.

Bam!

Li Xuanli was pursued by a Defying Fate Realm Demon King, slapped down and slammed into the ground, destroying the structure and killing the hiding residents inside through the tremors.

Li Xuanli spat out blood, his face flushed. Roaring, he unleashed Unwithering Strength to fight back, struggling to combat with the ancestor’s remnant soul but was eventually on the losing end.

Everywhere across the city were scenes of fiery battles and confrontations.

“Demons, have breached the city…”

“The city has fallen!!”

Those civilians hiding at home saw the gigantic shadows of Demon Kings battling in the skies over the city, and the fear, forgotten during a millennium of peace, crept back onto their faces.

Inside the city, the Li Family Army and the Demon Tide clashed, embroiled in intense fighting. But without the Array’s barrier, relying solely on the army’s slaughter was insufficient. The Demons’ numbers were too many, with many directly bypassing the army amidst the chaos, infiltrating the city to wreak havoc and slaughter.

Li Wushuang and Li Yuanzhao saw this and quickly split up to kill the Demons causing chaos within the city.

But as the battle continued, more and more Demons slaughtered into the city, and the breach in the army’s defense line was torn apart by the Demon King. Though the soldiers of Yuan Camp were elite, they couldn’t withstand the paths opened by the Demon King.

On the peaks of Tan Palace Academy, Song Yufeng watched the city fall, a tragic expression on his face. Behind him stood many Master of Tan Palace and disciples.

“Here at Tan Palace, we teach martial arts, but more so, we teach people!”

Song Yufeng turned his head, looking at the many Tan Palace masters and disciples, among them his granddaughter. The sorrow in his eyes retreated as he spoke with cold determination, “Demons assault the city, citizens are in peril. Are Tan Palace disciples willing to fight for the lives before them?!”

“Fight!!”

“Fight!!!”

The disciples shouted in a uniform roar.

Song Yufeng’s eyes filled with gratification, nodded slightly, and then solemnly declared, “Then follow me down the mountain to slay the demons!!”

As he spoke, he took the lead, heading towards the bustling mortal world below for battle.

Many Tan Palace masters flew to follow, while those disciples, either soaring through the air or rushing down the mountain, pursued the fight.

Among them were outer court disciples with Power Passage Realm cultivation. Some hid in fear, but many more went without hesitation, heading toward the battle below.

On a mountain top Emerald Pond, the water suddenly surged with waves. A azure Water Qilin leaped out, carrying icy pond water, rushing down towards the mountain.

In front of the Divine General Mansion, Li Tian Gang, with Ji Qingqing, arrived. They turned back to see many Demons, who were outside the city, now had climbed onto the city walls, fighting with the soldiers.

And among the crowd of Demons, quite a few had taken the opportunity to rush into the city, wrecking havoc everywhere.

The prosperous Qingzhou City, a millennium in the making, was at this moment torn by the Array, plunged into the chaos of battle, feeling like it was crumbling.

Li Tian Gang’s gaze wavered for an instant. He never thought that the Qingzhou City he had known since childhood, always a scene of bustling splendor, would ever face such chaos, with war flames rising, Demons filling the skies, and people fleeing in panic on the streets.
