Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth cascaded down the blade\'s edge as if tearing open a breach, surging forth.

The perfectly aligned Dao Intent was severed by the Dragon Soar Sword. The man in the black robe had thought that a mere sword strike from someone in the Heavenly Human Realm could not withstand the attack and would crumble as easily as dry twigs before a storm. However, the moment they made contact, the vast power transmitted from the sword\'s edge nearly overwhelmed him.

The destructive impact rippled out, forcing both Li Hao and the man in the black robe to stagger back. As Li Hao retreated, he manipulated the hidden line to tug at the fish hook embedded in the man\'s ribs, sinking it deeper with the pull.

The pain in the man\'s chest caused him to raise his hand and chop down, his palm edge sharp like a blade, severing the hidden line.

But as it was severed, the attached fish hook tore out a chunk of flesh, making him inhale sharply in pain. At the same time, he felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.

As a Demon King, to be wounded in just a brief encounter by a Human Race member of the Heavenly Human Realm was utterly inconceivable!

"Die!!"

In a fit of rage, the man in the black robe launched another attack, pointing a finger to strike Li Hao down.

Ninefold Cloud-shattering Finger!

Guided by the Dao Intent, this finger was certain to hit, infusing fearsome demonic might that seemed to press down the snow and wind in the sky into silence.

Li Hao\'s expression tightened as hidden lines extended, laying out in the surroundings.

At the same time, he unleashed the power of the Yin and Yang Dual Pulse. Immortal Qi coursed into him from the forces between Heaven and Earth, then using his own major channels like a spinning top to draw in the power from his surroundings, all concentrated on the blade!

The dragon soul sealed within the Dragon Soar Sword, like parched ground welcoming rain, eagerly absorbed this surge of power. Dragon might emerged from the blade, a condensed and concentrated True Dragon coiling around Li Hao\'s sword-wielding arm, reinforcing it with the terrifying strength of a True Dragon.

Li Hao felt his heart contract as if it were throbbing violently, even painfully. He knew that the earth-shattering finger was aimed precisely at his heart.

The enemy sought a one-hit kill!

Whoosh!

He stepped forward, his sword raging down in a cleave.

Immortal Tao, Taiji Qiankun Sword!

In front of the sword, a Yin Yang Illusion evolved as if forming an ethereal formation that roared towards the attack with the sword\'s edge.

Boom!!

A cataclysmic collision erupted, scattering countless ribbons of light in the air as the ground behind Li Hao cratered from the impact.

Li Hao\'s body didn\'t retreat an inch; his black hair fluttered wildly as the Yin Yang Formation in front of the blade shattered under rapid rotation, dissipating much of the vast force of the finger strike. He took another step forward and his sword light violently slashed onto the diminishing illusion, completely shattering it!

High above, the man in the black robe trembled with his internal energy in disarray, his eyes shifting from rage to shock.

As a Demon King, to have his attack blocked by someone beneath the Four Stands Realm—and not just anyone, but one who was not even among the Immortals, merely in the Heavenly Human Realm—was astonishing!

While he was shocked, he also felt fear and trepidation. If such a freak of the Human Race were to grow and cultivate, wouldn\'t he become the second True Human within the Dayu Divine Dynasty?!

If so, he dared not imagine, how could there be any space left for Demons to dwell around the Dayu Divine Dynasty in the future?!

"Incredible speed!"

The man\'s eyes were filled with coldness as murderous intent raged within him. Unleashing his Martial Will, he lifted his hand and pointed another deathly strike.

The second finger fell, just as turbulent and terrifying as before, pulling at the endless currents of Qi around him.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised to see the same move again, his heart tinged with shock and joy, suggesting that the previous attack may very well have been the opponent\'s strongest move.

In these brief exchanges, Li Hao had realized that although this Four Stands Realm Demon King was powerful, he was not as invincible as he had imagined.

Had it been half a month ago, he might not have been able to withstand the onslaught, but now, by borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth, he was capable of battle!

This realization excited Li Hao, and without the slightest hesitation, he wielded his sword again.

The same sword move as before, the Yin Yang Illusion appeared once more.

But as his sword light struck halfway, the finger was already upon him, faster than before.

Li Hao\'s pupils contracted for a moment. At this critical instant, he utilized the hidden lines he had set up around the area as a contingency to restrain the opponent. They quickly pulled, yanking his body away.

Then, leveraging his own strength, he retreated at breakneck speed, like a marionette being pulled by its strings.

At the same time, his sword technique was ready.

There was a booming collision, and the entire camp trembled.

The man in the black robe\'s face changed, his anger flaring as he pressed down once more with his hand.

He refused to believe that a mere member of the Human Race could possess such vast energy to continuously unleash such terrifying sword moves.

Under the relentless assault of the Ninefold Cloud-shattering Finger, complemented by the swift Martial Intent, Li Hao could only dodge around within the campsite, but as he dodged and created distance, he would retaliate with a sword strike.

The Qi within him was prolonged, a constant stream of Immortal Qi maintaining communication with the Power of Heaven and Earth, meaning he would not be drained of energy in a short time, effectively half Immortal. But the duration was permanent.

After seven or eight successive strikes, the original camp area and fenced courtyard had been shattered by the battle.

But at this moment, Li Hao had no time to be concerned, focusing all his attention on the battle at hand.

The more the man in the black robe fought, the angrier and more astonished he became. After repeatedly unleashing his strongest strikes, he felt a sense of fatigue and was on the cusp of invoking his Unwithering Strength. And yet, this Human Race youngster was still bounding around with life?!

Finally, seeing that he could not kill Li Hao after so much effort, the man in the black robe cast aside any shame; facing this Human from the Heavenly Human Realm, he erupted with his true power, unleashing his Unwithering Strength!
