Chapter 70: A Single Sword Slash
Chapter 70: A Single Sword Slash
As the demonic horde was driven back, the Demonic Cloud that had gathered ahead quickly dissipated.
Without the Divine Soul Great Demon’s command, these lesser demons dared not attack the city.
The towering city walls still exerted an overwhelming pressure on the small demons.
Li Hao controlled his Flying Sword, relentlessly pursuing and slaughtering the thousands of monsters. Nearly half were killed, and the rest fled into the jungle to hide.
Li Hao glanced around, then turned back to the City Wall. He raised his hand, and the sword’s light darted toward him, landing in his grasp.
Looking around, Li Hao asked Wei Feng, “Where’s Uncle Fu?”
“Li Fu?”
Wei Feng quickly realized and said, “Li Fu asked me to look after … cough, Li Fu went to North City. That’s where the main force of the monsters is attacking.”
“North City?”
Li Hao raised his head, his gaze focusing on the north.
A thick, dark Demonic Aura, like a heavy cloud, had already enveloped the City Wall of North City.
His expression changed, and he wrapped Ren Qianqian’s sword with Divine Soul power, swiftly heading north through the air.
Cangyu City was square, with a diameter of less than fifty miles. He was in the west of the city, and North City was not in a straight line, but the distance was still within his range of control.
In fact, if he used the special attribute of the Chess Manual 'Fei Duan' to increase his attack range, his control would extend even further.
As the Flying Sword shot out, Li Hao’s gaze fixed on North City.
Beside him, Li Yuanzhao, Yu Wei, Ren Qianqian, and the others stared at Li Hao in shock.
Among them, Li Yuanzhao was the most stunned.
He had never imagined that Hao Ge, who spent his days painting in the courtyard, fishing with Second Uncle, and baking pastries in the kitchen, could be so powerful.
Fifteenth Li Realm?
He felt suffocated.
Heavens!
If Mother and the others knew, they would be overwhelmed with excitement!
But … how did Hao Ge train?
He had never seen him touch a sword!
If it weren’t for Li Hao’s familiar mannerisms, Li Yuanzhao would have thought he was a monster in disguise.
The young man beside them exuded a powerful aura, leaving Ren Qianqian, Du Qiuyue, and the others in a daze.
They were around the same age, still lingering in the Zhou Tian Realm, yet to achieve Soul Continuation.
And Li Hao had already surpassed them by two major realms!
This was more than just monstrous; it was absurd!
Ren Qianqian recalled her father’s words: with an eighth-grade War Body, she had comprehended the Sword Heart at the age of ten, unmatched in the Sword Dao among her peers.
Once she fully grasped the Sword Dao, she would be on par with other top prodigies … was this what it meant to be on par?
Gazing at the young man’s profile, her breathing grew slightly rapid.
The moon that night still lingered in her heart, impossible to forget.
“Sir …”
Yue Shuhong, who had seen Li Hao effortlessly slaughter Tiger Robe Immortal, was still shocked but managed to accept it. He quickly bowed and said, “I will head to North City.”
Li Hao nodded slightly, his attention already on the Flying Sword heading to North City.
Yue Shuhong hurried to North City, while the sword’s light swiftly cut through the demonic horde there.
On the North City walls, countless arrows flew.
Li Fu revealed his identity and coordinated with the commander to defend the city.
In the demonic horde, eight monstrous figures with fierce appearances revealed their true forms, gathering around a man in a yellow robe with two red eyebrows hanging down to his chest.
“This small city has only three or four Divine Wanderer Realm cultivators. We can handle it.”
“Speaking of which, why hasn’t the True God of Great Strength arrived?”
“What are those Blackwind Mountains guys thinking?”
These monsters looked eastward, where there should have been chaos, but it seemed unusually quiet.
“Kill them first!”
A falcon-like monster suddenly dove toward the city, eager to earn the Red Eyebrow Daoist’s favor.
On the City Wall, a sword light slashed out. It was Song Yueyao, who had returned to the city and, upon receiving the news, rushed to North City to defend against the enemy.
She hadn’t encountered Li Hao and had to come directly to North City.
The falcon, also a Divine Wanderer Realm monster, saw Song Yueyao’s fierce sword attack and immediately spewed a cloud of Monster Fog, enveloping the City Wall and using its demonic arts.
As the demonic arts blocked the way, more and more monsters ascended the City Wall. The archers lost their targets and had to draw their swords to fight the invading monsters.
The other monsters around the Red Eyebrow Daoist did not stop, attacking relentlessly.
In the blink of an eye, Song Yueyao was assaulted from both sides by two Divine Wanderer Realm monsters, her face changing drastically as she switched from offense to defense.
On the other side, the head of the Liu Family, Liu Shunqing, and the head of the Qi Family, also led their clan members to fend off the enemy here.
Seeing the Demon Suppression Inspector surrounded by monsters, they immediately rushed to assist.
However, the enemy had a clear advantage in the number of Divine Wanderer Realm cultivators, and the three of them soon found themselves at a disadvantage.
Li Fu, seeing the situation, immediately drew his sword and joined the fray.
His cultivation techniques, which he had cultivated to the Divine Wanderer Realm, were all of upper grade or supreme quality, giving him a deeper foundation and making him stronger than other Divine Wanderer Realm cultivators. He quickly drove back a Divine Soul Great Demon.
The other Great Demons, seeing Li Fu's ferocity, immediately withdrew and surrounded him, engaging in a fierce battle. Soon, Li Fu found himself at a disadvantage.
Puff!
One of the monsters, with a body covered in scythes resembling a giant mantis, suddenly hooked Li Fu's arm, slashing through his back armor.
Another, a massive ape with rough purple fur and a body seven to eight meters long, swung its club and struck Li Fu's back with great force.
Li Fu's vision went black, and he fell onto the city wall, immediately losing consciousness.
Seeing this, the local commander quickly ordered his men to go to his aid.
He himself was only at the Perfect Soul Succession Realm and had yet to reach the Divine Wanderer Realm. Just as he was about to rush forward to help, a Great Demon suddenly landed in front of him.
This Great Demon was a massive toad with a body covered in bumps and spikes. With a slight tremor, these bumps began to spew out a viscous, green toxic liquid.
The soldiers guarding the city, upon contact with the toxic liquid, had their armor corrode, screamed in agony, and died on the spot.
"Damn it!!"
The commander roared in anger, drawing his sword to fight to the death.
But at that moment, a cold light suddenly streaked through the air.
The toad demon seemed to sense something and its eyes began to move. In the next instant, it was struck through, its blood spraying out like a burst of jelly, and its massive head exploded, destroying its yet-to-be-released Divine Soul.
The commander was stunned, staring in shock at the scene.
In the sky, Red Eyebrow Daoist, seeing the flying sword darting about, his originally calm expression changed.
Fifteen Li Realm?
His eyes narrowed as he looked around. Could it be that the Xia Clan has arrived?
However, he was not afraid. He spat out a crimson flying sword from his mouth, directing it to slash at the approaching sword light.
The sword seemed to sense his murderous intent and suddenly changed direction, charging straight at Red Eyebrow Daoist.
The crimson sword coiled, emitting a low, dragon-like roar, as if trying to sever Li Hao's flying sword.
But in the next moment, the flying sword shot forward, crossing paths with the crimson sword, and then rushed directly at Red Eyebrow Daoist.
Red Eyebrow Daoist's pupils contracted, his face showing shock. His Object Control Technique was of upper-grade quality, nearly supreme, and could reach a speed of eighteen li per second.
Yet, the changes and speed of this flying sword were far beyond his control?
Swoosh!
It attacked almost instantly.
Red Eyebrow Daoist's face turned panicked, and he quickly turned to flee, calling his crimson sword back for defense, but it was too late.
His body coiled, his robe falling loose, revealing his massive form—a crimson-scaled jiaolong.
It seemed to be quite old, with two long eyebrows.
Its body curled like a snake, and the flying sword aimed for its head, which was protected by its coiled body.
Li Hao did not intend to use brute force, as the sword was borrowed.
The flying sword turned in mid-air, and the sword light suddenly intensified.
Endless Sea, the second technique:
Severed River!
While the first technique, Tide, and the third technique, Rising Moon, were group attack moves, Severed River was a single-target, explosive killing technique.
It seemed as if the sound of a river flowing could be heard in the world.
But it was not a river; it was the air and the energy of heaven and earth, automatically splitting apart.
The sword strike landed.
The jiaolong let out an agonizing scream, its coiled body being cut into three segments by a single sword strike!
Its massive head was split in two, and its Divine Soul, which had just escaped, was swiftly pursued and destroyed by the flying sword.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The massive body of the jiaolong fell from the sky, landing in the tide of monsters below.
The scorching, hot blood of the jiaolong splashed onto some of the monsters, causing them to panic and scream.
The previously relentless tide of monsters suddenly fell into chaos.
On the city wall, the few Divine Soul Great Demons engaged in intense battles with Liu Shunqing, Song Yueyao, and others, were taken aback by Red Eyebrow Daoist's scream. When they turned to look, they saw the terrifying scene.
Red Eyebrow Daoist had been cut down by a flying sword!
