454: Zhang turns into a Gu, and the holy war begins

Li Wuji's reaction was also extremely fast; his figure suddenly became blurred, as if it were illusory and unreal.

The blood-colored sharp sword passed through his body, but it did not cause him any harm.

At the same time, Li Wuji took the opportunity to turn around and strike with a backhand palm, which contained the majestic power of overturning mountains and seas.

Bai Yuan saw that the situation was not good and retreated decisively, while also striking a palm from a distance to resist the power of this blow.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix King in the sky was not to be outdone; the fire phoenix she had transformed into suddenly swooped down.

As her wings flapped, incredibly hot flames, like meteors falling from the sky, rained down upon Li Wuji in an overwhelming manner.

Li Wuji looked up at the sky, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He slowly raised his left hand, and a dark and deep vortex gradually formed in front of him.

When those burning flames collided with this black vortex, a series of crackling sounds erupted.

The two canceled each other out, but the black vortex was slowly weakening under the scorching heat of the flames.

"These flames are quite interesting."

Seeing this scene, Li Wuji's eyes flashed; this black vortex contained Curse Power, and he didn't expect that it could only barely withstand the Phoenix King's flames.

Sensing the Aura emanating from them, he guessed that the opponent's flames were very likely a type of Heavenly and Earthly Strange Fire, similar to Ding Lingxuan's Eternal Fire.

Just as he was lost in thought for a split second, Green King's countless vines, like a group of agile snakes, came whistling from all directions with lightning speed.

These vines seemed to possess life and consciousness; they intertwined and wrapped around each other, forming a dense net that attempted to tightly bind Li Wuji.

At the same time, Dragon Xuanyuan's powerful and overbearing fist, like a meteor, streaked across the sky, approaching Li Wuji with astonishing speed.

This punch contained endless power; if Li Wuji were to be careless and have his body trapped by the vines, then what awaited him would undoubtedly be this fatal blow.

Facing such a dangerous situation, Li Wuji merely snorted coldly; a powerful, suffocating wave of air suddenly erupted from around his body.

This wave of air, like a surging torrent, instantly swept through the surroundings, directly shattering those aggressive vines into countless pieces.

However, this was just the beginning.

While shattering the vines, Li Wuji's hands moved quickly, and a dazzling light converged in his hands.

In the blink of an eye, a nearly transparent, illusory long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

This sword looked dreamlike and ethereal, as if it were meticulously forged from fragments of space; the sword body flickered with a faint yet incredibly sharp cold light, sending shivers down one's spine.

Just as he was speaking, with a loud bang, Dragon Xuanyuan's mighty and unparalleled punch had already struck heavily, and Li Wuji could only hastily raise his sword to block.

Terrifying power surged like a mountain and sea, and even someone as strong as Li Wuji found it difficult to withstand such a fierce impact.

He was sent flying backward like a cannonball, retreating hundreds of steps.

It wasn't until Li Wuji's body was about to collide with the trunk of the mysterious and enormous Bizarre Tree itself that he forcefully stopped his retreat using his profound strength.

However, at this moment, the illusory long sword he held tightly in his hand could no longer withstand such a huge impact; with a crisp cracking sound, it directly shattered and dissipated into the air.

Despite suffering such a heavy blow, Li Wuji did not show any fear on his face.

Instead, he looked at the Dragon Xuanyuan in front of him with a hint of surprise and praised him softly.

"As expected of the Dragon King, such powerful strength is truly astonishing. It seems the Dragon Lord has truly inherited your true legacy."

Before his words fell, he casually extended his right hand and lightly grabbed in the void in front of him, and another incomparably sharp illusory sword appeared in his palm.

However, compared to Li Wuji's ease, the Four Kings were incredibly shocked at this moment.

They hadn't expected that Li Wuji's strength was so powerful that a single Spiritual Power Clone could contend with the four of them.

"As expected of the creator of the Sequencers, your strength is truly extraordinary!" Dragon Xuanyuan said in a deep voice, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Li Wuji smiled faintly and said, "Four sirs, your strength is indeed very strong. I won't say I can defeat you, but I'm somewhat confident in holding you back for a moment."

"Arrogant!"

Bai Yuan coldly shouted, his Killing Intent gathering once more. This time, his attack was even more fierce, as if he wanted to completely tear Li Wuji to shreds.

The Phoenix King and Green King also attacked again; the fire phoenix and vines intertwined, forming a massive energy net that went straight for Li Wuji.

Facing the combined attack of the Four Kings, Li Wuji remained calm and composed. He formed hand seals, and the ground began to tremble, transforming into four giant palms that struck at the three people's attacks.

"Rumble!"

With a burst of explosions, the attacks of both sides actually canceled each other out in mid-air.

"Four sirs, I know you have some reservations, but if this is all there is, how about we end this battle here?"

Li Wuji said lightly, "I can guarantee that he will only involve those with fruit abilities. How about it?"

The Four Kings did not speak, but merely gathered their power again, preparing to launch a second offensive.

"No need to delay. You have no chance."

Just now, the four of them were only trying to probe some of Li Wuji's methods, but feeling the Aura of the Bizarre Tree, they knew they couldn't wait any longer.

"Alas, why is this necessary?"

Li Wuji sighed, because he knew that his Spiritual Power Clone would not be able to stay.

He had already consumed eighty percent of his spiritual power in the previous battle, and the recovery speed simply couldn't keep up with the consumption.

He also felt the Aura of the Bizarre Tree and knew that it was at a critical moment and must not be disturbed!

"Everyone, we'll meet again next time!"

After saying that, Li Wuji directly raised his hand and pressed it against his mask. The next moment, he had taken off his mask.

However, there was no human figure beneath the mask, only endless Gu worms flying out from beneath his white robe.

At the same time, the Bizarre Tree in the sky also seemed to have completed everything, and a different kind of energy erupted from within it.

"The Holy War has begun!"
