Chapter 170: Chapter 170
After a single slash, the Demonic Qi dissipated, revealing Li's true form, wielding a slender black Demon Blade, swinging it at the Sect Martial Realm expert from Gray Wolf Kingdom.
"What incredible speed." The Sect Martial Realm expert from Gray Wolf Kingdom was shocked and hurriedly raised his heavy sword to block.
However, Li, at an unbelievable angle, bypassed the heavy sword of the Gray Wolf Kingdom's Sect Martial Realm expert, swinging his blade directly at the man's throat.
The Sect Martial Realm expert from Gray Wolf Kingdom roared in anger, sending a palm strike towards the blade of Li's sword.
As a result, Li's Demon Blade was knocked slightly off course, slashing across the Gray Wolf Kingdom Sect Martial Realm expert's shoulder, blood spurting out immediately, nearly severing the arm.
"A mere True Martial Realm individual managed to injure me? Boy, state your name. You've earned the right for this seat to remember you." The Sect Martial Realm expert from Gray Wolf Kingdom frowned, inspecting the injury on his shoulder, his gaze turning somber as he looked at Li.
"Many years ago, Sword Obsession, with his cultivation at the True Martial Realm, slew a Sect Martial Realm individual, becoming a legend of Galaxy Sect. Today, I will do the same with my True Martial Realm cultivation, slaying a Sect Martial Realm individual. I want the world to know, what Sword Obsession could do, I, Li, can do as well; what he couldn't do, I can still accomplish. I am the one and only legend of Galaxy Sect." Li's eyes were pitch black, void of any human emotion, indifferently watching the Gray Wolf Kingdom Sect Martial Realm expert as if he was gazing at a piece of prey, murmuring to himself.
"Li? Galaxy Sect? Humph, thinking you can slay a Sect Martial Realm expert with your True Martial Realm cultivation, you're too naive. The techniques of a Sect Martial Realm expert are not something you can imagine. Xuantie Heavy Sword, slash." The Sect Martial Realm expert from Gray Wolf Kingdom's brows were tightly furrowed as he suddenly shouted angrily, swinging his heavy sword towards Li.
"Demon Shadow Slash."
Li, without a hint of fear, flickered in a blur, transforming into streams of black Demonic Qi, that darted from all directions towards the Gray Wolf Kingdom Sect Martial Realm expert.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!…"
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows. Although the Gray Wolf Kingdom Sect Martial Realm expert defended with all his strength, he still failed to block all of the Demon Blade strikes. The beast skin on his body was slashed to pieces, deep gashes that reached to the bone marked his body, and blood surged out, presenting a ghastly sight.
Worse still, within each wound, black Demonic Qi lingered, continuously eroding his flesh and the True Yuan Power within him, causing his combat prowess to plummet rapidly.
"Is this the strength of a Demon Cultivator? Terrifying."
At this moment, Xiao Feng along with Zhao Letian and others had rushed over, just in time to see the result of the combat between the two men. A look of shock couldn't help but appear in everyone's eyes, filled with envy. Visit My Virtual Library Empire (*) for more.
"Demon Dao Techniques, although powerful, are ultimately the cultivation techniques of foreign races, and even though they have been modified by human Martial Artists, they can only be cultivated at a price, always carrying some side effects, ultimately not part of the orthodox path and not worth envying." Zhao Letian, however, was very calm.
In his inherited memories, there were also many Supreme Demon Techniques, far surpassing the level of the Demon Techniques practiced by Li, by who knows how many times. But in his view, all paths lead to the same goal. Regardless of the cultivation technique from any race, if cultivated to the extreme, one can be very powerful. He had no need to switch to cultivating Demon Dao Techniques.
"Very well, a mere True Martial Realm individual has pushed this seat to such a state. You should be proud, but this is where it ends. With the next sword stroke, this seat will send you on your way."
The blood-soaked Sect Martial Realm expert from Gray Wolf Kingdom was panting heavily, his expression dark as he stared at Li across from him. Summoning all his remaining strength, he raised his heavy sword.
"This blade will sever your path in the Martial Realm."
Li, too, raised his Demon Blade with the True Yuan Power within him surging, Demonic Qi billowing.
"Heavy Sword Slashes the Heavens, Kill."
"Slaughter Demon Blade, die."
At that moment, both parties made their moves simultaneously. From the hands of a Sect Martial Realm expert of the Gray Wolf Kingdom erupted a colossal sword glow over thirty feet long, slashing down from the skies. On the other hand, Li's Demon Blade flashed, transforming into an almost invisible, slender blade edge that swept across.
In an instant, a crisp sound was heard, and the enormous sword glow instantly dissipated. The Sect Martial Realm expert from the Gray Wolf Kingdom, along with his Xuantie Heavy Sword, was split in half and slain by a single stroke of Li's blade.
Xiao Feng clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he realized that even if he advanced to the True Martial Ninth Realm, he would likely still be no match for Li. To surpass Li, he would have to put in even more effort.
Li said indifferently, transforming into a stream of black Demonic Qi, sweeping up the corpse of the Sect Martial Realm expert from the Gray Wolf Kingdom and heading straight for the mines.
Xiao Feng and the others exchanged glances, their fighting spirits soaring, and immediately urged on the Cloud Piercing Boat towards the mines.
With the Gray Wolf Kingdom's Sect Martial Realm expert dead, they had nothing to worry about anymore. They could follow Li and throw themselves into a fierce battle with abandon.
In the distant mines, the bloody slaughter continued. There were only two to three hundred Dajin Country folk left, barely holding out under the siege of the Gray Wolf Kingdom's army. By now, those who could flee had done so. Those left behind who hadn't managed to escape in time now struggled in desperation.
"A bunch of ants still trying to resist; it's pathetic and delusional. But you, the mine overseer, at least you're smart. Seeing no escape, you surrendered immediately. Though your dignity is lost and your face is gone, at least you've saved your own life," sneered a True Martial Ninth Realm expert from the Gray Wolf Kingdom from the air, enjoying the sight of the desperate Dajin people below.
"Hehe, my lord is right. Saving your own life is what matters most. Dignity and face are worth nothing," the captured mine overseer said with an embarrassed smile.
"Hahaha, if only all Dajin folk were as spineless as you, the Gray Wolf Kingdom's takeover of Dajin would indeed be imminent," laughed another True Martial Ninth Realm expert from the Gray Wolf Kingdom.
Out of nowhere, a blade glow shrouded in black Demonic Qi suddenly slashed from afar, decapitating the mine overseer.
The airborne experts from the Gray Wolf Kingdom were taken aback and quickly turned to look, only to see a surge of black Demonic Qi rapidly approaching from afar.
"Betrayal on the battlefield, no mercy in death."
Soon, the Demonic Qi dissipated, revealing Li's true form.
"True Martial Ninth Realm pinnacle? Hmph, you think you alone can contend with us? Leave quickly, otherwise, when the General returns, you will undoubtedly die," said a surprised expert from the Gray Wolf Kingdom. A pinnacle expert of the True Martial Ninth Realm was not to be trifled with, especially since this person had just slain the mine overseer of the same cultivation level. If possible, they preferred not to engage in a tough battle with him.
"Your General is already here, and today, all of you will die."
Li said coldly, waving his hand to retrieve the corpse of the Gray Wolf Kingdom's Sect Martial expert from his storage ring and throwing it out. Then, brandishing the black Demon Blade, he charged into the enemy ranks like a tiger among wolves, unleashing a frenzied slaughter.
Zhao Letian and the others who arrived later joined the battle immediately.
Seeing this scene, the remaining people from Dajin Country once again saw a glimmer of hope, mustering their remaining strength, and clashed fiercely with the surrounding army of the Gray Wolf Kingdom.
