536: Who said I was going to die?

At this moment, Shen Bei was facing a siege from Lihua Sect and Huang Du, two Divine-Grade Martial Artists who were subordinates of Hong Long.

In an instant, this corner of the Imperial City had transformed into a scene like purgatory.

Despite this, the surrounding 'Others' merely watched the spectacle.

Not a single person participated or reported it.

In their view, a battle of this magnitude was not something ordinary people could mediate.

Anyone who tried to intervene and shout for them to stop would be courting death!

It must be said that if these three individuals were on the earth's surface's surface, it would undoubtedly be news like a massive explosion, an extremely terrifying and unimaginable event!

After all, among the Martial Artists on the earth's surface's surface, the lower-tier Martial Artists were as numerous as ants due to the national policy's inclination.

It was like universal nine-year education; almost everyone you pulled out was, more or less, a Martial Artist.

But high-grade Martial Artists were relatively rare.

Martial Gods were even rarer, like Phoenix feathers and Dragon scales.

To witness a Martial God battle with one's own eyes—that was no ordinary event!

The situation in the Caves, however, was somewhat different from the earth's surface's surface.

In the Caves, while the number of low-level Martial Artists was large, their proportion and density were far less than that of earth's surface's Martial Artists.

And among high-grade Martial Artists, because Great Cultivators from across the great sea would return from time to time, they always brought back some local specialties, right?

This resulted in more high-tier Cultivators in the Caves, and of better quality.

But at this moment, even under the combined assault of two Martial Artists, Shen Bei showed no signs of backing down.

Or rather, only a freak like Shen Bei could achieve this.

After all, he was a man with cheats!

At this moment, Huang Du had seized the opportunity, striking towards Shen Bei's head from an incredible, almost unavoidable angle.

Crack!

Similarly aware of the unparalleled crisis approaching from his side, Shen Bei's body erupted with a rapid burst of electricity, as if he were an ignited plasma bomb. Dozens, even hundreds, of violent electrical arcs shot out from his body's surface. Driven by this burst of power, his strong figure forcibly twisted its angle, evading his original position.

Pfft!

However, at this moment, Huang Du's blade techniques, having surged in power and entered another level, were too bizarre and vicious. Although Shen Bei's reaction was fast enough, he only managed to avoid the vital point of his head. His chest, however, was struck by the fierce blade light, his clothes torn open, leaving a long gash across his chest and abdomen, with blood gushing out!

"Damn it!"

Narrowly avoiding being disemboweled, Shen Bei let out a furious roar. In the instant Huang Du's blade technique ended, he resembled a furious Tyrannosaurus Rex. Electrical arcs exploded on his iron fist, like an electromagnetic heavy cannon leaving its barrel, striking out with earth's surface-shattering, terrifying power and deafening explosions.

Clang!

The violent fist pressure was suffocating. In the nick of time, Huang Du's eyelids twitched. He instantly raised his blade to block, barely deflecting Shen Bei's ferocious punch with the blade. Then, in the next instant, he grunted, unable to withstand Shen Bei's wild, barbaric, pure immense strength, and was sent flying backward, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you still struggling? Just accept your fate!"

And just as Huang Du was forced back, on the other side, Lihua Sect, who had just been repelled, came surging back like a maggot on a bone, carrying the molten Aura of destruction and death. Lava spears, capable of easily melting and piercing steel, rained down like a storm, relentlessly entangling Shen Bei.

"Hahahahaha, a brute who only knows how to use raw strength…"

On the other side, Huang Du spat out a mouthful of blood. The golden light on his body seemed even more magnificent and violent. With the boost of powerful strength, he paid no mind to the minor injury he had just sustained, instantly streaking into the battle like a golden meteor, laughing wildly:

"There's no doubt, today you will surely die!"

Boom boom boom boom boom…

Terrifying roars vibrated through the entire street, the earth's surface trembled and shattered, and a terrifying aftermath of destruction swept through, kicking up hundreds of thousands of rocks and debris. In this astonishing scene, Huang Du and Lihua Sect, with a clear advantage, surrounded and attacked Shen Bei, continuously leaving wounds on his body.

Shen Bei was like a trapped beast in a cage, cursing repeatedly, desperately trying to break out, but he was always unable to escape the blockade of Huang Du and Lihua Sect.

And even though he had fallen into a desperate situation, Shen Bei's fighting style became increasingly fierce and tragic, as if he wanted to drag someone down with him, trading injuries for injuries, full of a do-or-die spirit.

A few minutes later.

Rumble… The intense rumbling echoed through the sky above the Imperial City, the faint clouds shattered, and a subtle morning light scattered down.

Below, airwaves rolled, roars resounded, dust swept, the earth's surface cracked and trembled… The previously clean True Qi-infused road surface now looked as if it had been thoroughly scoured by a thousand cannons firing simultaneously, completely transformed into a purgatory of scorched earth's surface.

It could be clearly seen that in the middle of the street, a majestic figure shimmering with lightning, with a golden figure behind and a dark-red, fiery figure, were attacking madly, tearing the sky and burning the earth's surface with terrifying power. As the three figures clashed, the earth's surface continuously shattered and collapsed, as if the sky and earth's surface were trembling, making it difficult to imagine the power contained within!

In just a few minutes, the life-and-death struggle between Shen Bei and Huang Du and Lihua Sect had escalated to an unparalleled intensity.

Within a radius of several tens of meters around the battlefield, patches of dark-red lava scorched the earth's surface, leaving large areas of black scorched earth's surface, emitting a burnt smell. These were the lava created by Lihua Sect's elemental flames. He was like a true Flame Demon that had crawled out of a sea of lava, emitting an incomparable, terrifying heatwave. Any substance that came into contact with his body was instantly incinerated. Even earth's surface and rock were melted into liquid by the unimaginable True Essence flames, forming something like magma.

On the other side, Huang Du's state was even more astonishing. His entire body radiated golden light, making it impossible to clearly see his original appearance, as if he were the Son of the Sun from myths and legends. At the same time, it was clearly perceptible that omnipresent light seemed to be drawn to something, gathering on his body, giving the impression that Huang Du was 'absorbing' light at this moment!

What was astonishing was not just this. With the omnipresent light gathered on his body, Huang Du seemed to have entered an unimaginably powerful realm. He was like the rising sun, his Aura steadily climbing, his speed and reactions becoming even harder to catch. His violent True Essence seemed endless, allowing him to freely unleash blade energy that cut through everything, leaving wounds on Shen Bei's body.

And at this moment, amidst the scorched earth's surface of the street, Shen Bei roared repeatedly, like a furious Thunder Dragon, confronting Huang Du and Lihua Sect, who clung to him relentlessly from front and back like maggots on bone.

Shen Bei's condition was by no means good. It was clearly visible that his incredibly powerful and majestic body was already covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.

On his arms, shoulders, and chest, there were scorched marks everywhere, left by Lihua Sect, who was like a purgatorial Flame Demon; and besides these, even more serious were several deep, bone-visible, narrow blade marks on Shen Bei's body, one of which stretched directly from his shoulder and neck down his back, looking horrifying!

Of course, Huang Du and Lihua Sect, both in front and behind him, were by no means unscathed.
