Chapter 262: Second Uncle!! (Part 2)
Chapter 262: Second Uncle!! (Additional Update 4) (Part 2)
Ji Qingqing’s face drained of color, but a figure rushed to her side, roaring, "Run!!"
Li Tiangang, at this life-and-death moment, rushed in front of her, shoving her away and then turning to face the overwhelming Dao Domain.
With a loud bang, his body was engulfed in the Dao Domain, enduring the flames of countless fires.
At this critical moment, he unleashed the Fate Reversal Power.
The burning flames that had just engulfed his body suddenly lost much of their power. Feng Lingxiao spat out a mouthful of blood; his suppressed internal injuries had flared up, and he couldn’t control them.
His handsome face turned as pale as paper. The continuous use of the Mystic Universe Tower, while powerful, had also drained him significantly. He was now overexerted.
After quickly swallowing a divine medicine to suppress his injuries, Li Tiangang broke free from the Dao Domain, carrying Ji Qingqing and rushing toward the distant Divine General Manor.
"Dammit!"
Feng Lingxiao’s face darkened. He wasn’t sure whether his sudden injury was due to overexertion or the unpredictable nature of the Heavenly Destiny Power.
Once the Fate Reversal Power was used, unforeseen "accidents" would occur, often leading to unexpected outcomes.
But these accidents seemed to align with the will of heaven, like hidden plot points that were triggered by the Fate Reversal Power, rather than a straightforward display of immense power.
This was one of the reasons why the Heavenly Dao was so difficult to comprehend.
Feng Lingxiao dared not pursue Li Tiangang any further. At this moment, Fate Reversal Power was swirling around Li Tiangang, and Feng Lingxiao feared that continuing the chase might result in unforeseen consequences. Even though he was now at the Great Peace Dao Realm, he could not sever the Fate Reversal Power. He could only watch as Li Tiangang escaped.
But it was fortunate that the Fate-Defying Chance only occurred once. He could still kill Li Tiangang later, unless Li Tiangang fled Qingzhou City directly.
"You had your fun killing earlier, now it's my turn!!"
Feng Lingxiao turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoran and Li Qingzheng. They had slaughtered the Demon King and countless Demons, which had already made him seethe with rage.
Li Xiaoran's face immediately changed, and Li Qingzheng's expression also turned grim. They couldn't understand why the array had suddenly shattered, as it seemed capable of holding out a bit longer.
"Die!"
Feng Lingxiao instantly charged at the two of them.
"Run!"
Li Xiaoran shouted, not planning to face him head-on. Battling a Great Peace Dao Realm cultivator wielding a Sacred Heart Celestial Treasure was no different from courting death.
They had to run!
The act of running was also a form of distraction, buying them time.
The two brothers, without exchanging a word, quickly split up and fled in opposite directions.
At the same time, within the city, the collapse of the array allowed a massive Demon Tide to surge in, clashing with the warriors on the city walls.
The Demon Kings, meanwhile, spread out and began their rampage throughout the city.
He Jianlan, Gao Qingqing, Li Xuanli, and others, all clad in their Ancestral Souls, fought against the Demon Tide.
When they encountered a Demon King, they could barely manage to engage in battle, but they were not at the Fourth Establishment Realm. With the power of their Ancestors, they could briefly unleash formidable strength, but compared to a true Fourth Establishment Realm Demon King, they were still lacking.
Bang!
Li Xuanli was pursued by a Fate Reversal Realm Demon King, who slapped him away, causing him to crash into a building, which crumbled under the impact. The shockwave instantly killed the residents hiding inside.
Li Xuanli spat out a mouthful of blood, his face flushed red, and roared as he used his Enduring Power to fight back, merging with his Ancestral Soul to barely hold his ground against the Demon King, but he was gradually pushed back.
Fires and battles erupted throughout the city in an instant.
"The Demons have entered the city..."
"The city has fallen!!"
The civilians hiding in their homes, upon seeing the massive Demon Kings fighting in the sky, felt the fear they had forgotten for a thousand years crawl across their faces.
Inside the city, the Li Family's army engaged the Demon Tide in chaotic combat. Without the array to hold them back, the sheer number of Demons overwhelmed the army. Many Demons took advantage of the chaos to scale the walls and enter the city, wreaking havoc and massacring the inhabitants.
Seeing this, Li Wushuang and Li Yuanzhao quickly dispersed to deal with the Demons causing chaos within the city.
As the battle continued, more and more Demons poured into the city. The army's defensive line was torn apart by the Demon Kings. Although the Yuan Camp's soldiers were elite, they could not withstand the Demon Kings' onslaught.
On the mountain peak of Tan Palace Academy, Song Yufeng looked down at the besieged city, his expression filled with sorrow. Behind him stood many of Tan Palace Academy's teachers and disciples, including his granddaughter.
"Our Tangong Martial Teachings are also about teaching people!"
Song Yufeng turned to face the numerous teachers and disciples of Tan Palace, including his granddaughter. He had hidden his sadness, and his gaze was now resolute as he said:
"The Demons have attacked the city, and the civilians are in peril. Are the disciples of Tan Palace willing to fight for the people?!"
"Fight!!"
"Fight!!!"
The disciples responded with a unified and resounding roar.
Song Yufeng's expression softened in relief, and he nodded. Then, he solemnly said, "Then follow me, and let us descend the mountain to slay the demons!!"
As he spoke, he led the way, heading toward the city below.
The teachers of Tan Palace followed him, flying down the mountain, while the disciples either flew or rushed down.
Among them were Outer Academy disciples at the Force Mastery cultivation level. Some were timid and hid, but many more rushed bravely into the battle below.
In a clear pond at the top of the mountain, the water suddenly churned violently, and a deep blue Water Qilin leaped out, its icy waters rushing down the mountain.
At the entrance of Divine General Manor, Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing had fled to this spot. They turned to see the numerous Demons that had previously been outside the city now swarming the city walls and fighting with the soldiers.
Amid the crowded Demons, many took advantage of the chaos to enter the city, causing destruction.
The once-thriving Qingzhou City, now with the array torn apart, was engulfed in flames and chaos, giving the impression of a city on the brink of collapse.
Li Tiangang's eyes flickered with a moment of confusion. He had never imagined that Qingzhou City, the place he had known since childhood, the city that had always appeared prosperous and thriving to his eyes, would now be engulfed in flames, with Demons filling the sky and Commoners fleeing in terror through the streets.
Who could... come to save them all?
He was stunned for a moment, then heard his Wife's voice: "Tian Gang, you go and take charge of the situation. I'll go kill the demons!"
Ji Qingqing, after speaking to Li Tiangang, gave him a determined look and then, holding the Taiyuan Sword, charged toward the Demon Kings in the city.
Li Tiangang also snapped back to his senses, quickly regaining his clarity. He rushed into the Divine General Manor, intent on gathering the Li Family descendants who had come through the Huai River secret passage. They would undergo the Ancestral Bone Reshaping and fight to the death.
At this final moment, as a True Dragon of the Li Family, he could only protect everything, even if it meant dying!
As Li Tiangang stepped into the Divine General Manor, Feng Lingxiao was rapidly pursuing Li Qingzheng, the distance between them decreasing with each passing moment.
"Stop!!!"
Li Xiaoran was shocked and enraged. His Saber Techniques were integrated with his Body Movement Techniques, and Feng Lingxiao, recognizing this, chose to pursue Li Qingzheng instead of him.
His fifth brother's Body Movement Techniques were slightly inferior.
Whoosh!
He suddenly swung his saber, and the blade's light flashed toward Feng Lingxiao. However, it was consumed and dissipated within Feng Lingxiao's Dao Domain before it could reach him.
"Brother Five, run!!!"
Li Xiaoran could only shout in desperation.
Seeing Feng Lingxiao closing in, Li Qingzheng's face turned grim, but he quickly regained his composure. Instead of fleeing into the city, he charged toward the Demon Tide.
He knew that at this pursuit speed, even if he ran into the city, he would still die. There was no escape. It was better to kill as many Demons as possible before he died.
"Third Brother, it looks like we're going to end together."
Li Qingzheng said.
Li Xuanyin, whose Divine Soul was now faintly burning within him, sighed with a smile: "Yes, it's a pity we couldn't slay a few more Demon Kings. We can only kill these lesser demons."
"If there is a next life, we'll kill them then."
Li Qingzheng said, then plunged into the Demon Tide, carving a massive blood trail through the mass of Demons.
Feng Lingxiao caught up in the blink of an eye, lifting the Mystic Universe Tower and smashing it down, intent on annihilating Li Qingzheng's soul and spirit!
But at that moment, a terrifying punch force descended, causing the Mystic Universe Tower to waver and miss its target.
Li Muxiu, covered in blood, had arrived. His robe was torn to shreds, and the muscles in his arms seemed to be ripped apart, with blood continuously seeping out. The Holy Heart Treasure Ribbon in his hand was now dyed red.
"Second Brother!"
Li Qingzheng, who had been preparing to die, was taken aback at the sight of Li Muxiu.
"Quick, go with Fourth Brother to help the Ancestor reshape his physical body!"
Li Muxiu coughed up a mouthful of blood and quickly transmitted a message: "I'll hold them off for you!"
His face was flushed red, and the surging blood qi within him could not be contained, making his face flush. He had heard Li Xiaoran's call and realized Li Qingzheng's dire situation, so he had rushed over despite his injuries.
Seeing Li Muxiu's blood-soaked state, Li Qingzheng felt as if his heart would burst with pain. His eyes turned red, but he said nothing more, clenching his teeth and dashing into the city.
"Second Brother..."
Li Xuanyin, watching Li Muxiu's back, felt a deep sorrow. It was impossible for a Half-Step Dao Realm practitioner to hold off two Great Peace Dao Realm practitioners!
"Don't think you can run!"
Feng Lingxiao, enraged, immediately expanded his Dao Domain, trying to envelop Li Qingzheng.
But at that moment, Li Muxiu's Dao Domain also expanded, crashing into Feng Lingxiao's and protecting Li Qingzheng.
"Long Jueshen, what are you doing!!!"
Feng Lingxiao roared in frustration.
Long Jueshen, who had just caught up, also looked extremely grim. Faced with Feng Lingxiao's roar, he could only vent his anger on Li Muxiu. As a Dao Realm practitioner, he had not only failed to kill Li Muxiu but had also let him escape, a disgrace!
Boom!
Long Jueshen swung the Ten Extreme Sword, splitting it into ten Extreme Dao Sword Shadows, which then united into a single, powerful sword beam, slashing fiercely at Li Muxiu.
Li Muxiu had already faced this before, and he roared as he swung his fist once more.
The Half-Step Invincible Fist, combined with the Dao Domain, made his Dao Domain seem momentarily invincible, suppressing the opponent's strongest Extremity Dao Sword.
However, suppressing that sword came at a cost. As the invincible momentum faded, the backlash made his face turn even redder, his eyes bloodshot and congested.
"Kill him!"
Feng Lingxiao saw that Li Muxiu was at the end of his strength and attacked in a fury.
In an instant, the two of them joined forces and engaged Li Muxiu in a fierce battle.
During their initial assault on the city, they had fought him two against one, but Li Muxiu had managed to hold them off with the help of an array. Now, each of them wielded a Holy Heart Treasure, increasing their lethality, and without the array to give Li Muxiu a breather, they could finish him off in one go!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their consecutive attacks sent shockwaves that shattered the heavenly lightning and divine light, the roaring fists drawing the attention of everyone within the city.
Seeing the elderly figure, alone at the Half-Step Dao Realm, facing off against two Great Peace Dao Realm opponents, the Li Family members all looked on with sorrow.
They could only watch from a distance, unable to intervene. Their attacks dissipated like dust within the Dao Domain, causing no harm.
Li Muxiu spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his tattered clothes. The turmoil within his body could no longer be suppressed, bleeding from his mouth, nose, and ears.
In his desperate fight, his endurance had long been exhausted. His already frail body was only kept going by sheer will, enduring the strain of his major meridians tearing apart to maintain the battle.
Blood seeped from his eyes, reddening his vision, making the world before him appear blood-red.
Just as he tried to wipe it away, a sharp Dao Domain tore through, lacking the invincible momentum. Under the combined pressure of the two Dao Domains, his own became thin and fragile, allowing Long Jueshen's Dao Domain to suddenly penetrate.
With a crack, Li Muxiu's arm was torn off, along with the Bloodshed sleeve.
The Sacred Heart Celestial Treasure still wrapped around his severed arm, Long Jueshen took it, feeling the resistance of the Sacred Heart Essence, and immediately sealed it, tossing it into the Heavenly Earth Space.
Then, his eyes glinted with a predatory ferocity as he stared at Li Muxiu.
"Now you only have one fist left, old dog. Your time has come!"
Li Muxiu stood up, his body swaying, but the bleeding from his severed arm had stopped.
However, it was just a stopgap; he had no power left to regrow his arm.
"One fist is enough. If I reach the Dao Realm, a single punch will be enough to kill you!"
Li Muxiu shook his head, wiping the blood from his eyes. His face was covered in blood, his appearance pitiful, his arm severed, but his elderly body still stood tall in the air.
"To reach this point at the Half-Step Dao Realm, you indeed die with honor, but we won't let you die honorably. I will tear you apart in front of your Li Family members, crushing you piece by piece!"
Feng Lingxiao's eyes turned icy cold. As he spoke, he suddenly attacked, the Mystic Universe Tower smashing down with ferocity.
Li Muxiu abruptly turned, his single remaining hand forming a fist and striking out with all his might.
Boom!
For a moment, his Dao Domain seemed to become invincible again. Without the Sacred Heart Celestial Treasure as a weapon, his mere mortal flesh and blood fist collided with the Mystic Universe Tower.
A terrifying shockwave erupted, and Li Muxiu's body was sent hurtling backward, but he didn't fall. Instead, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
At that moment, an extreme blade of sword qi suddenly pierced through, cutting into his Dao Domain. As the invincible momentum of his Dao Domain dissipated, it broke through, slicing into his body.
In an instant, Li Muxiu felt a sense of weightlessness, followed by a tearing sensation. His entire left side, including the remaining arm, was severed.
The sharp force of the sword qi sent him tumbling to the ground, taking the last of his strength with it.
Li Muxiu gazed at the dawn's early sunlight, rising and shining on his face.
It felt blinding for a moment.
So tired...
Father always said I was the least capable, and he was right...
I have brought shame to the ancestors once again...
A bitter smile formed on his lips as he thought of his elder brother's soul dissipating outside the Heavenly Gate Pass, his bloodshot eyes slowly welling up.
Images flashed through his mind like a montage: the woman he had wronged, the child fishing by the lake, and Old Wind...
"Second Uncle!!!"
Suddenly, a deafening cry echoed from the distant horizon, carrying the force of ten thousand thunderclaps, resonating through the sky above Qingzhou City, making the entire war-torn city tremble!
