Chapter 194: General's Demise River
Chapter 194: General's Demise River
In the vast wilderness.
Several figures streaked through the air with lightning speed, thunder rumbling and wind howling, causing the beasts and lesser demons in the outskirts to tremble in fear.
"Stop!"
Lu Yuan roared, his voice thunderous. He enveloped himself in the Limitless Thunder Path, his speed increasing dramatically as he tried to intercept Li Hao.
But Li Hao's Body Movement Techniques were extremely unpredictable. Each time Lu Yuan was about to touch him, Li Hao would suddenly change direction and accelerate.
This kid's Body Movement Techniques are clearly not at their full potential!
Bang!
Suddenly, a surge of Divine Fire shot toward Li Hao, forcing him to dodge hastily. The heat grazed his side, causing a searing pain. The attack could easily melt ordinary Divine Weapons!
"If you keep running, I'll turn back and kill everyone on that battlefield!"
Candlelight Deity glared menacingly, directly threatening Li Hao.
He had already seen through Li Hao's plan—to lure them away so the people on the battlefield could survive longer. How naive!
But when Li Hao heard this, he only smirked slightly. "That would be perfect!"
With that, he erupted into full speed, dashing toward the distance.
Candlelight Deity was shocked and furious, considering stopping to turn back and threaten Li Hao again.
But Li Hao's sudden acceleration only made him more hesitant.
After a brief moment of hesitation, he resumed the chase.
Compared to the people on the battlefield, Li Hao was the one they absolutely could not let escape.
"Why don't you two chase him, and I'll clean up the battlefield!" Lu Yuan shouted loudly.
He was also speaking to Li Hao.
However, Li Hao's speed did not decrease; instead, it gradually increased.
Candlelight Deity and Lady Yin's faces darkened, and they remained silent.
Seeing that Li Hao was unaffected, Lu Yuan felt both anger and frustration. Knowing that the couple was not speaking up, he realized he couldn't back down, or he would face consequences later.
Whizz!
Li Hao quickly moved forward, estimating the distance. He began to activate the previously deactivated Acceleration Chart Attributes one by one.
His speed increased, gradually pulling away from Lu Yuan and the others.
"He can still accelerate!"
Lu Yuan was enraged, roaring as lightning surged into his body. His bones hummed with the force of the thunder, slightly increasing his speed, but it was still not enough to catch up to Li Hao.
Candlelight Deity and Lady Yin's Body Movement Techniques were also extremely fast, but they could only watch as Li Hao grew farther and farther away.
"Damn, his speed is abnormal!"
"What Body Movement Techniques is he using? It seems familiar!"
"A thief who once stole from our Void Realm used the same Body Movement Techniques. Curse him!"
Candlelight Deity and Lady Yin were both furious. If Li Hao escaped, they wouldn't be able to rest easy.
They all unleashed their True Energy, chasing at full speed. They even resorted to some secret cultivation techniques that damaged their bodies, just to barely keep up with Li Hao.
Li Hao felt the three figures closely following him and his face darkened. He had already reached his limit, but he still couldn't shake them off. These three Ultimate Mastery Realm experts were not to be underestimated.
If his Body Movement Path had reached the seventh level, he might have been able to easily escape.
Li Hao's eyes flickered, glancing down at the Liangzhou cities he was flying over.
These cities, once swept by the Demon Tide, were now nothing but ruins and a sea of blood and corpses.
Li Hao raced forward, seeing numerous large and small devastated towns. He took a deep breath, recalling the Family Letter his Second Uncle had sent, mentioning their Fourth Uncle.
He scanned his surroundings, identifying the direction by the name of a ruined city, and then sped off at full speed toward another border of Liangzhou.
This high-speed chase spanned thousands of miles.
It was only because Li Hao possessed the Heaven-Earth Meridian, which was equivalent to half the power of Enduring Power, that he could maintain his speed without exhausting himself.
However, Lu Yuan and the three Ultimate Mastery Realm experts, including Candlelight Deity, were already panting heavily.
Chasing for thousands of miles at full speed, even they found it exhausting.
While they could momentarily cover tens or even hundreds of miles in an instant, such bursts of speed consumed a tremendous amount of Qi Power and could not be sustained for long.
At this moment, even without using Enduring Power, they felt utterly drained.
Previously, when Lu Yuan had crossed ten thousand miles to reach Heavenly Gate Pass, he had flown leisurely, not feeling the least bit tired. The small amount of Qi Power he had expended was easily replenished by natural breathing.
But now, in this all-out chase, they didn't even have a moment to catch their breath.
What infuriated them was that the boy, Li Hao, was still maintaining his speed, as if he had an inexhaustible supply of energy.
They began to suspect that Li Hao had already used his Enduring Power.
If that were the case, once Li Hao's speed started to wane, it would be their turn to unleash Enduring Power and chase him at full speed, preventing him from resting and regaining the ability to use Enduring Power again.
In no time, Li Hao reached the western border of Liangzhou.
He immediately saw the vast expanse of the land, covered in the fires of battle.
Liangzhou soldiers and Demon corpses were strewn across the blood-red battlefield, locked in fierce combat.
Countless banners were shattered, chariots overturned, and defenses breached.
Li Hao's expression grew grave, easily imagining the scale of the battle that had taken place here. Without stopping, he continued to fly past the border and then headed northeast.
The three Demon Kings followed closely behind, but their speed seemed to slow down.
Li Hao also slightly reduced his speed to avoid them collapsing from exhaustion and turning back to the battlefield.
Seeing Li Hao slow down, Lu Yuan and the other three, including Candlelight Deity, were overjoyed and suddenly accelerated, chasing after Li Hao once more.
But at that moment, Li Hao also sped up, maintaining the distance between them.
Both sides were testing each other.
While fleeing at high speed, Li Hao also kept his eyes on the surroundings, using the mountains and rivers to orient himself.
He had long studied the geomantic map of Liangzhou, having a copy of it from the Rain Listening Pavilion.
After all, Liangzhou had been a territory defended by the Li Family for many years.
It consisted of nineteen provinces, with each Divine General Manor responsible for defending three to four large states!
Originally, they each defended three states, but after the Mourning River incident, which extended into the Dayu Realm, the Wang Family was ordered to establish the Mourning River Office to resolve the problem. As a result, they had to relinquish some of the states they were defending.
In a way, this also weakened the military power of the Wang Family.
Back then, countless secret stories unfolded behind the scenes, but that was hundreds of years ago, long buried in the past, remembered only by the older generation.
Over thousands of years, the dynasties and noble families had accumulated too many grudges and feuds, with both deep-seated enmities and reconciliations.
By the time of Li Hao’s generation, the Five Divine General Manors had managed to maintain a surface-level peace, a rare and hard-won situation.
Whoosh!
Li Hao discerned the location and turned, flying toward another place.
"That kid seems to be heading in that direction", Lady Yin observed, her expression changing slightly.
Candlelight Deity narrowed his eyes, having already figured out the situation. He said coldly, "I heard that the Li Family’s Fourth Patriarch is guarding the Mourning River nearby. Hmph, does he think he can escape with the help of that one? Anyone who tries will die!"
If they were to fight on the spot, he could unleash his Dao Domain, and a mere Ultimate Mastery Realm practitioner would be no match for him.
Lu Yuan also realized Li Hao’s plan and said grimly, "If the Li Family’s Fourth Patriarch is there, we’ll deal with that kid, and I’ll hold off the Fourth Patriarch!"
"What if he enters the Mourning River?" Lady Yin asked hurriedly.
"He’ll die even faster!" Lu Yuan sneered. "We’ll go in too. I’ve been inside the Mourning River before. Incidentally, it’s where the Li Family’s previous True Dragon is imprisoned. That True Dragon was personally slain by our Patriarch!"
Hearing this, Candlelight Deity and Lady Yin’s eyes flickered, but they remained silent, speeding up to catch up.
The mountains and rivers flew past rapidly. After crossing over two thousand miles, Li Hao saw numerous Demons ruling their territories, but he ignored them.
Finally.
The Demons began to thin out, and for several hundred miles, he saw no trace of them.
Li Hao arrived at a rugged and perilous mountain range. The peaks here were like pointed stone spires, and a dark, ominous river flowed through the mountains, leading underground.
The river was pitch black.
Dark waters, deep and foreboding!
Midway along the river, at a gap where a mountain peak had broken, there was a stone beach covered in white pebbles.
Beside the beach stood a massive, ten-zhang-tall stele with black characters inscribed on it:
General's Demise River!
Next to the stele, a figure was sitting, wearing a conical hat, with tattered clothes and holding a black, broken sword. The figure was drinking by the stele.
As Li Hao saw the figure, the figure also saw him.
Soon, the figure noticed the three Demon King shadows pursuing Li Hao.
The old eyes seemed to narrow slightly.
Then, in an instant, the figure in the conical hat vanished.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a bright, snow-white blade of light seemed to slice through the heavens, flashing in front of the three Demon Kings pursuing Li Hao!
Lu Yuan’s head reeled back, narrowly avoiding the blade. He could feel that if he had been hit, his refined flesh would have been severely injured!
Candlelight Deity and Lady Yin were also forced to stop by the blade of light.
Seeing this, Li Hao immediately knew that this old man was the Li Family’s Fourth Uncle, Li Xiaoran!
"Three Eternities Realm?"
A soft, calm voice sounded in Li Hao’s ear.
Li Hao looked up. The old man had somehow appeared beside him, his face under the conical hat showing signs of age, but he looked to be in his early sixties, with a hint of youthful vigor still visible in his features.
He must have been an outstanding prodigy in his youth!
