Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Without the command of a Divine Travel Realm Great Demon, these lesser demons dared not to attack the city.

The tall and imposing city walls still exerted a tremendous pressure on lesser demons.

Li Hao chased and killed with his flying sword, of the thousands of demons that came, nearly half were killed or injured, and the rest rushed into the jungle, hiding everywhere.

Li Hao glanced at them and didn’t waste more time on these minor specters. He turned and returned to the top of the city wall, raised his hand to summon, and the sword light flew back into his hand.

Looking around, Li Hao asked Wei Feng, “Where is my Fu?”

“Li Fu?”

Wei Feng reacted and quickly said, “Li Fu asked me to look after… cough, Li Fu went to the north of the city, which is the main direction of the demon army’s attack.”

“The north?”

Li Hao looked up to the north, his gaze sharpening.

There, the thick demonic aura was like dark clouds, already shrouding the city wall at the north.

His complexion changed slightly as he wrapped Any Qianqian’s sword with his Divine Soul power and rapidly flew toward the north to strike.

The entire Cangyu City was squarely shaped, with a diameter of less than fifty li. He was located at the city’s west, not in a straight line to the north, so the distance was somewhat closer, completely within his range of object manipulation.

In fact, if he used the special attributes of the chessboard “Flying Phase” to increase the attack distance, his range of object manipulation could be even larger.

As the flying sword was shot out, Li Hao’s gaze concentrated on the north of the city.

And those standing beside him, Li Yuanzhao, Yu Wei, Ren Qianqian, and others, all stared dumbfounded at Li Hao.

The most shocked among them was Li Yuanzhao.

He had never imagined that Hao, who accompanied him every day, who spent days painting in the courtyard, went fishing with the older master, or popped into the kitchen to bake pastries, could be so formidable.

The Fifteen Li Realm?

He felt suffocated.

My god!

If his aunts and the others knew about this, wouldn’t they be overwhelmed with excitement?

But… how did Hao cultivate?

He had never seen him practice with a sword!

If it weren’t for Li Hao’s familiar gestures and speech, Li Yuanzhao might have thought he was impersonated by a demon.

The young man standing beside them imposed a great pressure, leaving Ren Qianqian, Du Qiuyue, and others staring blankly in a trance.

Of a similar age, they were still wandering in the Zhou Tian Realm, not yet embarked on Soul Succession.

And Li Hao had already crossed two major realms beyond them!

This was beyond a demon prodigy; it was outrageous!

Ren Qianqian recalled her father’s words: possessing an Eighth Layer Battle Body, she understood the essence of the sword at the age of ten and stood peerless among her peers in swordsmanship.

Once her understanding of the sword reached Great Accomplishment, she would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with other top geniuses… Was this what it meant to stand shoulder to shoulder?

Looking up at the profile of the young man, her breathing gradually became more rapid.

That round of Bright Moon still lingered in her heart, unable to be erased.

“Young master…”

Yue Shuhong had previously witnessed Li Hao easily overpower the Tiger Robe Immortal; although still shocked, he was somewhat able to accept it and hurriedly bowed, saying, “I will head to the north of the city.”

Li Hao nodded slightly, his attention already on the flying sword at the north.

Yue Shuhong hurried to the north, while at the same time, the sword light maneuvered rapidly through the demon horde in the north.

Above the north, countless arrows were shot.

Li Fu revealed his identity, commanding the battle alongside the city’s defending general.

Within the demon horde, eight hideously shaped figures revealed their true forms, gathering around a man in a yellow robe with two conspicuous red eyebrows that hung down to his chest.

“This minor city only has three or five Divine Travel Realm beings; we can handle them.”

“Speaking of which, why hasn’t the Giant Strength True God arrived yet?”

“What are those guys in the Black Wind Mountain Range thinking?”

The demons gazed toward the east, expecting unrest there as well, but it seemed quiet.

“Kill them first, then talk!”

A demon resembling a flying eagle suddenly dived toward the city, eager to take the lead and impress the Red Eyebrow Taoist.

Atop the city wall, a streak of sword light slashed out. It was Song Yueyao returning to the city.

She hadn’t encountered Li Hao, and upon receiving the news, she had to come to the north to defend against the enemy first.

The flying eagle was also in the Divine Travel Realm and, seeing Song Yueyao’s fierce sword play, immediately spat out a cloud of demon mist, covering the city wall and casting a Demon Art.

With the Demon Art as obstruction, more and more demons assaulted the city wall. The archers lost their targets and could only draw their swords to battle the climbing demons.

The other demons around the Red Eyebrow Taoist did not stop either, rushing to attack relentlessly.

In the blink of an eye, Song Yueyao was attacked from both sides by two Divine Travel Realm demons, her face suddenly changed as she switched from offense to defense.

On the other side, the head of the Liu Family, Liu Shunqing, along with the head of the Qi Family, also led their family disciples in defending this place.

Seeing the Demonic Suppression Envoy surrounded by demons, they immediately went to assist.

But the enemy had obviously more Divine Travel Realm fighters, and soon the three of them were at a disadvantage.

Li Fu saw this and immediately drew his sword to join the battle for reinforcement.

His cultivation along the Divine Travel Realm had always involved superior or even peerless techniques, which gave him a profound foundation and made him three times stronger than other Divine Travel Realm practitioners, quickly repelling one of the Divine Travel Realm Great Demons.

Seeing Li Fu’s fierce might, the other demons immediately retreated and encircled him—the three demons unleashed a vicious battle, and soon Li Fu was also at a disadvantage.

Spurt!

One of the demons, covered in scythe-like limbs like a colossal mantis, suddenly hooked Li Fu’s arm with a blade, tearing through the armor on his back.

Another demon, about seven or eight meters tall, covered with coarse purple fur like a giant ape, swung its club and struck fiercely on Li Fu’s back.

Li Fu’s vision darkened as he fell onto the ramparts, losing consciousness on the spot.

Seeing this, the defending commander urgently ordered men to assist.

He was only at the perfection stage of the Soul Succession Realm and had not reached the Divine Travel Realm; he was just about to help when suddenly a Great Demon landed heavily in front of him.

This Great Demon resembled a humongous toad, covered in lumps and spikes, and at this moment, its body trembled slightly, and from these lumps spurted a greenish viscous poison.

Those city guards who were touched by the poison had their armor instantly corroded, screaming miserably, and died on the spot.

“Bastard!!”

The commander roared, drawing his sword to fight to the death.

Just then, a cold light suddenly streaked through the air.

The toad demon seemed to sense something; its eyes had just started to turn when it got pierced through the next moment, with blood gushing out like an explosion and its enormous head bursting apart; even the divine soul it hadn’t yet used was exterminated along with it.

The commander stood stunned, staring in disbelief at the scene.

In the sky, the Red Eyebrow Taoist looked towards the darting flying sword, and his previously indifferent expression suddenly changed.

Fifteen Li Realm?

His eyes narrowed as he scanned the vicinity, could it be that someone from the Xia Family had arrived?

Nevertheless, he was not afraid and spat out a red flying sword from his mouth, slashing towards the incoming sword light.

The edge of the sword seemed to sense the killing intent of his red sword, and suddenly changed direction, fiercely charging at the Red Eyrow Taoist.

The red sword swirled, emitting a dragon-like low hum, as if it was going to sever Li Hao’s flying sword.

But the next moment, the flying sword accelerated fiercely, crossing paths with the oncoming red sword, then charged straight at the Red Eyebrow Taoist.

The Red Eyebrow Taoist’s pupils constricted, a look of horror spread across his face; his Object Manipulating Qi Circulation Skill was a top-tier treasure nearing peerless quality, with a maximum control speed of eighteen li.

However, the change and speed of his object control were far less than this flying sword?

Whoosh!

It was an almost instantaneous assault.

The Red Eyebrow Taoist’s face showed panic; he swiftly turned to flee while calling the red sword back for defense, but it was already too late.

His body coiled, his robe loosening and falling, revealing his massive true form—a red-scaled flood dragon.

It appeared quite old, for the flood dragon had two long brows.

Curled like a snake, its body tucked up; to strike its head, the flying sword had to penetrate the flesh covering it.

Li Hao didn’t intend to rely on brute force, after all, the sword was borrowed.

The flying sword turned in mid-air, and then, the light of the sword suddenly blazed intensely.

Endless Sea, second technique:

Severing River!

If the first technique, Tidal Surge, and the third, Bright Moon Rising, were group attack moves, then Severing River was a single-target kill move.

It seemed as though the sound of a river roaring could be heard throughout heaven and earth.

That was not the sound of water, but countless streams of air and natural energies, all being split apart automatically.

A sword’s momentum fell.

The red flood dragon let out a scream of utter agony, as its curled body was cleaved into three sections by the sword!

The enormous head was split in two, and the divine soul that burst out failed to escape before being swiftly overtaken and extinguished by the flying sword.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The body of the massive dragon fell from the sky, plunging into the surge of demons below.

The hot, searing dragon blood that splattered on some of the demons caused them to shout in panic and disarray.

The previously wind-like attack of the demon wave, in an instant, turned into chaos.

The heads of the Divine Travel Realm Great Demons fiercely fighting with Liu Shunqing, Song Yueyao, and the others atop the city wall, hearing the Red Eyebrow Taoist’s scream, all paused, and upon turning to look, they witnessed that terrifying scene.

The Red Eyebrow Taoist had been cleaved by a flying sword!
