Chapter 297: A Lone Warrior Among Millions, Successive Instant Kills (9k Unity Chapter) (Part 2)
"Where are they?"
Li Hao looked around but didn't see Wang Yongzhi, Wang Zhendong, and the others, which was unexpected.
"Patriarch is in the council chamber. I'll go inform him right away."
The man quickly said, his Divine Soul flying out of his body and disappearing in a flash.
The other young generations, despite their excitement and joy at seeing Li Hao, held their breath and didn't dare to approach him rashly.
Perhaps influenced by the young man's illustrious achievements, his mere presence made them feel tense and oppressed. Although he was around their age, his status and position were worlds apart.
Soon, Wang Yongzhi rushed over.
Seeing Li Hao unharmed, he was overjoyed and quickly approached, saying:
"Huatian Divine General, it's a relief to see you safe. The Wang Family is indebted to you, and if anything had happened to you, we wouldn't know how to repay you."
"Patriarch, there's no need for such formality. You also helped me find Mr. Old Feng", Li Hao smiled.
"This is what we should do, it can't compare to what you've done for us", Wang Yongzhi said with a bitter smile. He shook his head, and his expression suddenly became serious. He casually released a Barrier to block out sound and said to Li Hao:
"Huatian Divine General, I just received an order from the Eight Directions Flag. The Emperor has instructed me to tell you to leave the Great Yu Divine Dynasty as soon as possible. Don't return until you reach the Dao Law Realm!"
"Huh?"
Li Hao was taken aback by this sudden news.
"What's going on?"
Li Hao asked, puzzled. Seeing his serious demeanor, even the Wang Family members nearby were isolated from the conversation.
"The Imperial City has been attacked."
Wang Yongzhi's voice was low and grave. "We received a distress signal and a military report earlier, stating that Demons were attacking the Imperial City. But shortly after, we received the Eight Directions Command Flag with the message I just told you. The Emperor knew you would come to the Wang Family, so he instructed me to relay this to you immediately. Leave Dayu right away!"
Li Hao was stunned, his pupils contracting.
The Imperial City attacked?
First, a distress call, then an urgent order to leave?
The stark contrast made it clear that the worst had likely happened!
Li Hao looked at the Patriarch of the Wang Family, and from his expression, he could tell that the man shared his thoughts.
No wonder he was so cautious, even isolating the Wang Family members. If this news spreads, the entire realm will be in chaos.
"When did this happen?"
Li Hao immediately asked.
"Just fifteen minutes ago", Wang Yongzhi replied. "The news of the Demon attack was sudden. The earlier attacks on Liangzhou and Qingzhou were likely a diversion, trying to draw the True Person away to reinforce. But now, they've directly attacked the Imperial City. They must have a hidden ace, and they've gathered the full power of all the Demons!"
Li Hao took a deep breath, said nothing more, and vanished from the mountain temple in a flash.
Wang Yongzhi was stunned and hurriedly rushed out, only to see Li Hao already at the main hall of the Wang Family, joining up with the Candlelight Deity.
"Huatian Divine General, where are you going?"
Wang Yongzhi quickly asked.
"The Imperial Capital!"
Before the words had even faded, Li Hao had already teleported away with the Candlelight Deity, disappearing from the Divine General Manor.
Wang Yongzhi was stunned, then his face turned pale with shock. He rushed out, but Li Hao was already gone, leaving no trace of the Dao Resonance from his teleportation. There was no way to track him.
He suddenly felt as if he had caused a disaster, his body freezing cold. He had thought that informing Li Hao of the situation would make him retreat, given that life was precious.
The stark contrast between the two pieces of intelligence suggested that the Imperial City might have fallen and was facing a grave crisis, to the point that the emperor had given up on seeking help and instead ordered Li Hao to leave.
Wang Yongzhi could guess the reason why the emperor wanted Li Hao to leave. If Dayu truly faced an unprecedented disaster, this young man might be the future hope!
But now, Li Hao had not run away; instead, he was heading to the Imperial City. Wasn't this a clear case of walking into certain death?
The emperor's order could only mean that even the True Person might be in trouble!
Wang Yongzhi stood there in a daze for a moment before urgently finding Wang Zhenfeng and ordering him to also rush to the Imperial City for support.
At this point, keeping Wang Zhenfeng in Yunzhou was meaningless. In a collapsing nest, no egg remains unbroken. Unless the Wang Family betrayed Emperor Yu and withdrew from Dayu at this critical moment.
...
...
Whoosh!
Li Hao's figure sped through the void, moving at breakneck speed.
He had stored the Candlelight Deity and Xiyian in the Heavenly Earth Space. This time, he was not riding the Candlelight Deity but using his own full-speed Eruption.
Although this would leave him with significant physical exhaustion and reduced combat power by the time he reached the battlefield, Li Hao could not afford to be cautious.
The battle in Qingzhou City had left a deep impression on him. The two Wasteland Deity Incarnations had made him realize that there might be other entities behind them.
Otherwise, two Enlightened Realm Demons would not dare to covet Dayu, given that the True Person was most likely at the Dao Law Realm.
From Yunzhou to Dayu Province, they had to cross half of the empire, a long and arduous journey.
Li Hao flew at full speed, occasionally teleporting, moving as fast as a bolt of lightning.
The places he passed through were filled with the sound of his speed, as if the air itself was erupting with sonic booms.
After crossing two Great Provinces, he suddenly saw a human and a demon locked in fierce combat ahead of him.
Sharp Sword Qi erupted in the void, forming terrifying Sword Moves.
The other side was a True Dragon demon, with scales as hard as steel. The Sword Qi that struck its body produced sparks and electrical flashes.
A dragon demon? From the Dragon Gate?
Li Hao's eyes gleamed slightly upon seeing the True Dragon demon. Without slowing down, he performed three consecutive teleports to quickly close the distance.
"Hmm?"
The dragon demon sensed Li Hao's presence and its face changed abruptly. Just as it was about to react, it saw a young man's face appear nearby.
Its pupils dilated, and before it could make a move, its body exploded.
Its Divine Soul screamed in terror, but before it could escape, it was instantly crushed by the Dao Domain Rule.
An Ultimate Mastery Realm dragon demon had fallen in an instant.
The other figure, which had been preparing to attack, froze and quickly stopped.
"Such a young age... It's you?!"
When the old man with the sword saw the young man's face, though he was unfamiliar, he immediately recognized him. The young man's reputation was too loud. In the current world, there was only one young man from the Li Family who could possess such terrifying strength at his age.
Hearing the surprised voice, Li Hao felt a sense of familiarity and looked at the old man, his brow furrowing.
It was indeed someone he knew only slightly.
Sword Saint, Jian Wudao.
He hadn't expected that his passing by and casually intervening would save this Sword Saint from the Sword Hut.
However, it wasn't really a rescue. The dragon demon might not have been able to kill the old man, and they would have likely fought to a stalemate, then retreated after a short time.
They had met twice before, once when the Li Family invited the old man to take on disciples.
The second time was when Jian Wudao was invited by Bian Ruxue to support him at the True Dragon Battle, showing off their connections.
Now, this is the third time, but their statuses have drastically changed.
Seeing the other, Li Hao thought of the little tail from his childhood courtyard, his brows furrowing slightly. He didn't have much to say to this old man and didn't intend to linger.
"Wait."
Jian Wudao, seeing Li Hao about to leave without a word, quickly called out.
"Hmm?"
Li Hao's figure paused, and he turned to look.
"You are indeed very powerful, but I believe I didn't misjudge you back then."
Jian Wudao gazed at Li Hao, his aged eyes filled with determination: "Xue'er will eventually surpass you, especially in the Sword Dao. She was chosen by the Sword Saint as his successor and will surely reach the pinnacle of the Sword Dao!"
"..."
"Boring."
Li Hao's face darkened, and he left with a quick teleportation.
He had actually wasted a second just to hear such a pointless remark.
"That's the true Sword Saint, an existence in the Sage Realm!"
Jian Wudao looked at Li Hao's retreating figure and shouted.
But Li Hao's teleporting figure didn't stop, disappearing several times and covering hundreds of miles in an instant.
Jian Wudao stared in that direction, his eyes complex. Since Li Hao gained fame, especially after the father-son battle in Qingzhou City, he had personally witnessed Li Hao's Sword Art, which made his Dao Heart waver slightly.
It made him question his own understanding of the sword.
He could misjudge a person, but could he misjudge a sword?
But that great battle seemed to tell him that he not only misjudged the person but also the child's Sword Dao talent.
This damaged his Dao Heart and caused his Sword Dao to stagnate.
Until one day, during Bian Ruxue's travels, she unexpectedly received the favor of a Sword Dao Sage, who took her as a disciple. His Dao Heart then regained its perfection.
The seed he had chosen back then was the best, and he hadn't been wrong!
After all, that Sage had praised and admired her, saying that Xue'er had a natural sword bone, which was merely hidden and not yet revealed. Most importantly, she had a pure heart for the sword.
Only with such character could one achieve the pinnacle of the Sword Dao.
While Li Hao's fame and cultivation have grown, and he recently slew the two top Demon Kings, Long Jueshen and Feng Lingxiao, from the Great Peace Dao Realm, cultivation is one thing, and the Sword Dao is another.
Bian Ruxue's cultivation talent may not match Li Hao's, but her Sword Dao talent will allow her to catch up and surpass him.
He wasn't deliberately provoking Li Hao; it was more a matter of needing to vent his frustration.
After all, he had nearly damaged his Dao Heart and wasted his cultivation in front of this young man, accumulating deep resentment.
"The absolute peak of the Sword Dao, breaking all laws, my path is not wrong..."
Jian Wudao murmured to himself.
...
...
Outside Dayu Province, Li Hao sped through the air.
He activated the Heaven-Earth Meridian, replenishing his Qi Power while traveling, but even with the Heaven-Earth Meridian, it felt like a drop in the bucket.
He maintained the highest Object Control speed, covering hundreds of miles in a single breath.
If anyone else were to do this repeatedly, their Qi Power would be nearly depleted.
But with all his Major Meridians opened, Li Hao's Qi Power reserves far exceeded those of ordinary people, and with the Heaven-Earth Meridian, he could afford such extravagance, crossing half the kingdom in quick succession.
At such a speed, even a Candlelight Deity would be exhausted halfway.
Now, outside Dayu Province, Li Hao saw the ground teeming with Demon auras, a vast army of Demons attacking the border and breaking through it.
There were few troops defending, and the Demons seemed to have entered without hindrance.
Li Hao's brows furrowed, and he didn't stop to deal with the Demon Tide. Instead, he sped up, heading for the heart of Dayu Province.
Before long, Li Hao finally saw the Imperial Capital.
This was his first time coming here.
Despite numerous enfeoffments, he had never set foot in the Imperial Capital. Now, on his first visit, he saw the magnificent Imperial City, but it was in ruins, with Demons crawling all over the walls.
Such a sight made one's scalp tingle.
Seeing this, Li Hao's face darkened.
From Wang Yongzhi's intelligence, he had expected a dire situation, but not this bad.
Despite having the best array in the world, the city had already been breached.
Whoosh!
Li Hao's figure rushed over quickly.
"Hmm? More reinforcements?"
Inside the city, the Black-robed Youth and the Purple-striped Graceful Woman, who had already feasted on four or five Fourth Establishment Realm Humans, were lounging around leisurely.
The battle within the Imperial Palace was not their concern; they could only tidy up and clear out this city.
At the moment, the two demons raised their eyebrows at the whistling wind, their interest piqued as they looked over. New prey was approaching.
However, when they saw the face of the person flying towards them, they froze, their expressions suddenly changing.
"It's that brat!"
As they locked eyes with Li Hao, Li Hao also saw them.
Whoosh!
His speed surged, and he appeared before the two of them.
These two were familiar faces, but the previous battle outside Qingzhou City only involved their avatars.
Now, seeing the traces of fresh blood at the corners of their mouths, Li Hao's eyes turned cold.
"You actually dared to come here to seek death!"
The black-robed youth sneered, his eyes brimming with undisguised malice. "You killed our avatars last time, and we haven't settled that score yet. Now you've walked right into our trap!"
Swoosh!
Li Hao didn't respond; instead, his figure flashed, appearing before the black-robed youth.
Return to the Abyss, teleportation!
Seeing Li Hao suddenly appear right in front of him, the black-robed youth was clearly taken aback. What's going on?
He hadn't detected any Dao rhythm resonance. The teleportation ability of the Dao Mind Realm required Dao rhythm resonance and spatial displacement, but he hadn't sensed anything.
Bang!
Before the black-robed youth could react, Li Hao's fist smashed into his face, unleashing a flurry of punches in a split second.
The black-robed youth's head exploded, blood splattering, and his eyes, filled with shock, flew out.
The direct physical attack also triggered the Yellow Sparrow Map's attribute, a 1% chance of a fatal strike.
By the forty-fifth punch, this attribute was triggered.
A soul-snatching power surged into his body, and though the black-robed youth's head had exploded, he reacted swiftly, trying to control his headless body to erupt. However, he suddenly felt an abyss-like aura envelop him, capturing all his power and vitality.
Everything was dragged into the bottomless abyss.
His power was rapidly disappearing.
The black-robed youth froze in shock and quickly tried to use the Reversing Fate power.
But the next moment, fifteen layers of the Dao Domain overlapped, accelerating his destruction and blocking the Reversing Fate aura.
With a bang, the black-robed youth's body, left defenseless, was instantly shattered by the fifteen layers of the Dao Domain's rules.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, making it look like Li Hao teleported close, smashed the black-robed youth's head, and then blew up his body.
The black-robed youth never had a chance to react, remaining stunned in place.
However, the purple-striped graceful woman beside him was nearly frightened to death. Her cold smile turned to horror, and she hastily teleported backward.
Bang!
Li Hao's body vanished from where it stood, using Return to the Abyss teleportation to appear behind her, unleashing a series of punches.
This time, the purple-striped graceful woman had already formed a Dao Power shield. Even with the power of the fifteen layers of the Dao Domain, it couldn't destroy this shield.
Li Hao immediately channeled a mouthful of Immortal Qi into his fist, and soon, his punch pierced through the Dao Power, smashing her head open.
The purple-striped graceful woman let out a blood-curdling scream, but her voice was abruptly cut off as her head exploded.
The Yellow Sparrow Map's attribute was triggered, forcibly depriving her of her life.
Previously, in Qingzhou City, Li Hao had to expend considerable effort to deal with their avatars, but now, with the mastery of seven Ultimate Realms, each of which had extremely useful special states, he was much more powerful.
The Return to the Abyss Ultimate Realm's teleportation and close combat abilities were extremely potent, and combined with the Yellow Sparrow Map's attribute, he could easily kill True Person Realm beings without transcending to Immortality.
Even Dao Law Realm beings, if caught off guard, could be assassinated.
So far, Li Hao hadn't encountered anyone who could withstand the Yellow Sparrow Map's fatal attribute, including the Ji Family's Sage Realm undead body.
After dealing with the two Enlightened Realm demons, his Divine Sense quickly spread out, covering the entire city. Soon, Li Hao's expression changed.
Swoosh!
He was holding the body of the purple-striped graceful woman, which was beginning to revert to its original form. Suddenly, it was flung from his grasp, shooting towards the Imperial Palace like a cannonball.
