Chapter 69: Rising Moon, True State
Chapter 69: Rising Moon, True State
Seeing Li Hao descending from the sky, Li Yuanzhao and the others, who were intimidated by the demonic horde, were taken aback.
Yu Wei’s mouth dropped open, his eyes nearly bulging out as he stared at Li Hao in disbelief.
“You’re here too?”
Li Hao hadn’t expected to run into them in the western part of the city. Weren’t they supposed to be on patrol duty? Why had they come here?
He glanced at Cui Fan, who had a pained expression, clearly showing his reluctance.
Li Hao then looked at Wei Feng, who he wasn’t unfamiliar with—the man who had followed them all the way.
“You...”
Wei Feng stared blankly at Li Hao. Being at the Fifteen Li Realm, he could naturally tell that the two who had flown down weren’t led by Yue Shuhong, but by the young man before him.
The person he and Li Fu had been tailing and protecting was actually at the Fifteen Li Realm?!
A realm higher than Li Fu?!
This is who’s protecting who?
Wei Feng felt his mind go numb. He had traveled the world since his time in the Divine Wanderer Realm, seeing countless geniuses, but... a Fifteen Li Realm cultivator so young?
Unheard of!
They say the offspring of the Divine General Manor are all monsters, but even monsters don’t reach this level, do they?
“Monsters are coming!”
At that moment, someone shouted nervously.
Everyone’s gaze turned to outside the city walls, where the rapidly approaching monsters had entered the archers’ range.
“Fire!”
The commander, a middle-aged man at the eighth or ninth level of the Soul Succession Realm, bellowed.
Countless arrows shot out like a black rain. These were specially crafted arrows with the ability to repel evil and subdue demons.
Under the rain of arrows, many monsters were injured, but more continued to charge forward, undeterred.
“Activate the Demon Suppression Array!”
The commander roared again.
More than ten Demon Suppression Officers, clad in dark robes, hurried to a high platform on the city wall. Each of them summoned their Soul Continuation, the forms of which varied. They clasped hands, their Soul Power fluctuating and connecting, maintaining some form of balance to activate the array.
Li Hao watched as the monsters, now within a hundred meters of the city wall, continued their charge. He turned his head and glanced at the sword Ren Qianqian held.
“May I borrow your sword?”
Li Hao asked.
Ren Qianqian snapped out of her shock and stared at Li Hao, still struggling to believe the terrifying cultivation he had just displayed. Seeing him now ask for her sword, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the scabbard. “Can you use a sword?”
During their journey, she hadn’t seen him carry any weapons.
“A little,” Li Hao nodded.
Entering the world of martial arts had been too rushed, and he hadn’t brought a sword. If he were to venture out again, he would remember to bring the precious sword given to him by the second master.
Ren Qianqian hesitated. A swordsman’s sword never leaves their side, especially one who cherished her sword.
But the situation was perilous, and she knew Li Hao’s cultivation was extraordinary, even if he lacked a weapon.
After a moment’s hesitation, she handed the sword to Li Hao.
Swish.
Li Hao casually drew the sword, its blade gleaming like autumn water.
In an instant, the blade hummed as if awakening, emitting a snow-white glow that flickered and hummed.
Li Hao raised the sword, turned, and took a step, standing in the air a dozen meters outside the city wall.
His suspended figure immediately drew the attention of the many soldiers on the city wall, who were shocked. The ability to hover in mid-air was a hallmark of the Fifteen Li Realm!
Their City Governor, Lord Yue, was only at the Divine Wanderer Realm and couldn’t reach the Fifteen Li Realm!
“Rising Moon... Ascend!”
Li Hao murmured softly.
Over the past five years, he had naturally studied the three additional sword techniques in the *Endless Sea*.
The *Endless Sea* consists of four techniques in total.
The names of the techniques are Tide, Severed River, Rising Moon, and Endless Sea.
At this moment, he was executing the third move of this supreme sword technique, just one step below the ultimate move.
Rising Moon!
In an instant, everyone on the City Wall seemed to see a bright moon rising from Li Hao's palm.
The gleaming long sword had vanished, leaving only a radiant, silvery moon, perfect and dazzling, condensing in Li Hao's hand. It then slowly rose as if from the sea, flying toward the horde of monsters.
This was the True State!
As everyone was entranced by the breathtaking beauty of the moon, it plunged into the monster horde. With the moonlight blooming, the countless shadows of the monsters, like darkness driven away by light, receded like a tide.
But they weren't retreating; they were being annihilated!
"This sword technique..."
Ren Qianqian's pupils constricted, and her face showed shock and disbelief as she gazed at the young man's back, holding the sword.
The moon, which seemed like a divine miracle, left her utterly amazed.
Was this... a sword technique?!
Similarly stunned were Yue Shuhong and Wei Feng.
Yue Shuhong now realized that when Li Hao had killed Tiger Robe True Person earlier, he hadn't used even a fraction of his full strength, not even a tenth.
Just this dazzling and exquisite sword technique was enough to shock the entire Qizhou!
"This sword technique..." Wei Feng's eyes were dazed. His father, Ren Qianqian's father, was a Sword Dao master, but even he had never seen such a breathtaking sword technique.
The clear and dazzling moon on the western battlefield was so captivating that when the dreamlike moon disappeared, everyone gradually came to their senses, only to realize they were still in the middle of a battle!
But when the soldiers drew their bows, they all froze in shock.
In the hundreds of meters in front of the City Wall, where were the monsters?!
The ground was littered with the mangled, broken bodies of the monsters and splattered with their blood!
A single sword stroke had cleared out the monsters in nearly a mile's range!
The battlefield, which had been filled with the chaotic howls and shrill cries of the monsters, was now so silent that a pin drop could be heard!
Not only were the soldiers on the City Wall stunned, but the monsters preparing to charge from a distance were also petrified. The unstoppable momentum, like an avalanche, came to an abrupt halt.
The monsters looked at each other, bewildered.
Among them were Great Demon leaders, at the Divine Wanderer Realm, the same level as Tiger Robe Immortal.
But at this moment, their eyes were filled with horror and fear.
The young man who had stepped out alone, hovering above the City Wall, casually holding his sword, seemed like an invincible sword immortal standing there.
Untouchable!
Li Hao glanced at the halted horde of monsters, said nothing, and threw his sword, controlling it with his spirit.
The Flying Sword spun, shooting out like a golden light, instantly taking the lives of a dozen monsters.
At this moment, the frozen horde of monsters finally came to their senses and screamed as they fled in all directions. The massive assault that had seemed unstoppable was suddenly shattered, completely disintegrated!
The soldiers on the City Wall were all dumbfounded, staring in shock at the young man's back.
That silhouette would remain etched in their hearts for the next twenty years, unforgettable.
The Flying Sword, like a golden needle, swiftly cut down a large number of monsters, including the Divine Wanderer Realm Great Demon in the horde, who tried to hide and escape by concealing his aura. But Li Hao noticed him, and with a flash of the sword, he beheaded the Great Demon and destroyed his divine soul.
In front of him, the Great Demon was no different from the other ordinary monsters, all meeting their end with a single strike!
This scene left Wei Feng, on the City Wall, speechless.
Even if he were to personally intervene, he could never achieve such overwhelming power. The speed of the Flying Sword was too fast, at least two to three times faster than his own!
He immediately thought of the dragon monster killed by the black light, a similar situation.
This was... the senior they had bowed to on their journey?
What kind of monster was Li Fu escorting?!
