178: Attack with force and kill with unparalleled swords

“They’re here!”

“And quite a large formation, too.”

Looking at the Void Realm outside the hall, Han Li’s gaze sharpened.

“Senior, what’s wrong?”

Liu Qing asked, confused, seeing Han Li’s expression.

“Nothing, just stay here.”

Han Li spoke, and no sooner had his voice fallen than his figure transformed into a golden light and vanished from the spot… Outside the Qingyun Sect mountain gate, within the Void Realm, a majestic Aura permeated the air.

Hundreds of figures appeared outside the Qingyun mountain gate.

Demonic Qi surged, causing the air to vibrate intensely.

Two groups.

One group of the Human Race, one group of the Yao Race!

At the front of the Yao Race was a burly man nearly ten feet tall, with a towering physique and muscles bulging all over his body, full of explosive power.

A powerful Aura emanated from his entire body.

He was, surprisingly, a Demon Emperor level existence.

Behind this Demon Emperor, there were also seventy-two demons who had transformed into human form.

Each of them was an Peak of the Acquired Realm Demon King, a formidable lineup.

There were only a dozen or so Human Race Martial Artists, but there were two God Realm level existences.

The leader was a black-robed man with a hooked nose and sharp eyes, whose Aura was no less inferior than the Demon Emperor beside him.

Beside this black-robed man, there was also a purple-robed old man, also a God Realm giant, but his Aura was much weaker compared to the black-robed man and the Demon Emperor.

The dozen or so figures behind him were all Innate Peak of the Acquired Realm existences.

“Qingyun Sect… it truly is a good place,” the burly Demon Emperor said, looking at the Qingyun mountain gate with a smile on his Face.

“If Daoist Tianqing likes it, this place will be yours in the future,” the black-robed man said with a smile.

“Haha, Daoist Du, you are truly generous,” the burly Demon Emperor laughed heartily.

“This time, I must thank Daoist Tianqing for his support,” the black-robed man cupped his hands.

“Don’t worry, this time, I also have friends coming. A small Qingyun Sect is nothing to worry about.”

Demon Emperor Tianqing spoke.

No sooner had his voice fallen than a ripple came from the Void Realm, and sensing the fluctuation, all the demons and humans looked up at the sky.

With a flash of light, a figure stepped out from the Void Realm.

Demonic Qi surged.

It was, surprisingly, also a Demon Emperor level existence.

The light converged, and a red-robed figure appeared before their eyes.

He wore a red Dharma robe, was bald, and his eyes were like poisonous snakes, emitting a sinister gaze.

“Swish—!”

The red-robed Demon Emperor moved and instantly appeared before them.

“Daoist Chixue!”

Seeing the red-robed Demon Emperor, a hint of surprise appeared on the black-robed man’s Face.

“How about it, Daoist Du? No need to worry now, right?” the burly Demon Emperor said with a smile.

“With the help of the two of you, there will certainly be no problem.”

The black-robed man regained his composure, a more brilliant smile appearing on his Face.

“Just a small Qingyun Sect, Brother Tianqing, was it necessary to call me? You two couldn’t take it down together?” the red-robed Demon Emperor said indifferently, sweeping his gaze over the Qingyun mountain gate.

“Although the Qingyun Sect has declined, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. It still has some heritage, so it’s better to be fully prepared. Daoist Chixue, don’t worry, after the matter is settled, I will definitely give Daoist Chixue a satisfactory reward,” the black-robed man said with a smile.

“Then let’s just directly destroy it and get it over with quickly,” the red-robed Demon Emperor said.

“No rush, let’s talk first. Wouldn’t it be even better if we could take it without drawing blood?” the black-robed man smiled.

“Humans are truly too verbose,” the red-robed Demon Emperor frowned… In the Qingyun Sect, a loud bell rang out, echoing throughout the entire Qingyun Sect.

When the bell rang, everyone in the Qingyun Sect was instantly startled.

“It seems there’s Demonic Qi outside the mountain gate!”

“Hiss, how can there be so many demons?!”

“Isn’t that the Sect Leader of the Northern Prison Sect?”

“Seventy-two Demon Kings, my heavens, why have they all come to my Qingyun Sect?!”

Each Disciple was terrified and pale.

But for the Elders within the sect, they had already known in advance.

This formation must be the Northern Prison Sect intending to unite and Devouring Heaven and Earth the Qingyun Sect!

“Northern Prison Sect Leader Du Xuan, Grand Elder Hong Qiu, along with Daoist Tianqing and Daoist Chixue, have come to visit the Qingyun Sect Leader.”

Outside the mountain gate, a loud voice entered the Qingyun Sect.

The sound was like thunder, deafening!

The air vibrated, creating strong shockwaves!

In the Qingyun Hall of the Main Peak of Qingyun Sect, Ye Qingyun’s Face was pale.

Beside him, Han Li sat drinking tea, his expression showing no significant change.

“Another Demon Emperor has appeared, and his Aura seems no less inferior to Demon Emperor Tianqing,” Han Li said indifferently after taking a sip of tea.

“That’s Demon Emperor Chixue, also a Divine Hidden Realm Early Stage existence. It’s over, it’s really over now…”

Ye Qingyun’s Face was ashen.

Another Divine Hidden Realm giant had appeared; the Northern Prison Sect had truly gone all out. They wouldn't rest until they destroyed the Qingyun Sect!

“The Qingyun Sect is still here, Sect Leader Ye doesn’t need to worry. Just let them in,”

Han Li said indifferently.

Ye Qingyun looked at Han Li and said, “Daoist Han, forget it, you should leave. Soon, I’m afraid there will be a great battle…”

“Let them in!” Han Li spoke again, and a wisp of Aura diffused out.

Ye Qingyun’s heart trembled as he looked at Han Li.

“Daoist Han, you… are you confident?” Ye Qingyun’s eyes widened.

“Whether I am or not, we’ll know once we try,” Han Li took another sip of tea, his expression unchanged.

Ye Qingyun’s heart was in turmoil as he looked at Han Li.

“To die is to die; there’s no avoiding it anyway!” Ye Qingyun gritted his teeth, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

Watching Ye Qingyun disappear, a faint gleam flashed in the depths of Han Li’s pupils.

“This way, I can just use these few to test out the Great Luo Swordplay…”

Han Li murmured softly.

He blew on his tea, then raised the teacup to take another sip… “Buzz—!”

Outside the Qingyun Sect mountain gate, a green light flashed, and Ye Qingyun’s figure appeared in the Void Realm outside the mountain gate.

Seeing Ye Qingyun appear, the eyes of Northern Prison Sect Leader Du Xuan instantly lit up.

“Haha, Daoist Ye, you have come to our door today, have you made a decision?”

Du Xuan said with a beaming smile.

“Sect Leader Du and a few Fellow Daoists have come a long way. Please come into the sect and sit for a while, how about it?” Ye Qingyun said.

“Alright, with Sect Leader Ye’s invitation, there’s naturally no problem,” Du Xuan laughed heartily.

The two Demon Emperors merely looked at Ye Qingyun, their gazes cold, without speaking, and the Grand Elder of the Northern Prison Sect also remained silent.

“Fellow Daoists, please!”

Ye Qingyun gestured with his hand.

Du Xuan looked at Demon Emperor Tianqing and Demon Emperor Chixue, then simultaneously stepped into the Qingyun mountain gate.

Subsequently, the seventy-two Demon Kings, the few Martial Artists of the Northern Prison Sect, and the Grand Elder also entered the Qingyun Sect.

Walking through the Void Realm, the group of demons and the people from the Northern Prison Sect instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the Qingyun Sect.

Such a blatant display made it hard not to notice.

“Sect Leader Ye, the Qingyun Sect can be considered a geomantically auspicious place. I, Du, wouldn’t want the beautiful scenery before us to vanish.”

As they walked, Du Xuan suddenly said.

Ye Qingyun’s expression stiffened, but he didn’t speak, continuing to lead the way.

Seeing Ye Qingyun not respond, a hint of Killing Intent flashed in Du Xuan’s eyes… Soon, the swaggering group arrived at the Qingyun Hall square. The seventy-two Demon Kings and the people from the Northern Prison Sect stopped outside, while Du Xuan and the few God Realm giants stepped into the Qingyun Hall.

“Hmm?”

Upon entering the Qingyun Hall, Du Xuan and the few Demon Emperors’ gazes fell upon a green-robed figure sitting on a chair to the left.

Han Li’s gaze also turned towards them.

The Northern Prison Sect Leader, the Grand Elder, Demon Emperor Tianqing, and the last red-robed Demon Emperor—if he wasn’t mistaken, that was Demon Emperor Chixue, as mentioned by Ye Qingyun.

Three Divine Hidden Realm Early Stage existences.

One Divine Aperture Realm Middle Stage giant.

This lineup was indeed powerful.

“Sect Leader Ye, who is this person?” Sensing Han Li’s Aura, Du Xuan quickly regained his composure and looked at Ye Qingyun.

“I am Han Li. Greetings, Fellow Daoists.”

Han Li’s voice rang out, but he made no movement, holding a teacup in one hand, sitting on the gilded chair.

“What arrogance!”

Du Xuan’s gaze darkened.

Beside him, Demon Emperor Tianqing and Demon Emperor Chixue looked at him, and terrifying Demonic Qi diffused out, rushing towards Han Li.

But as the majestic Aura approached Han Li’s body, Han Li’s expression remained unchanged.

“Hmm?”

Seeing Han Li’s expression remain completely unchanged on the chair, the two Demon Emperors showed a hint of surprise.

Under the Demon Emperors’ Aura, Han Li’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He held the teacup in his hand, gently blew on it, and took a sip of tea.

“My apologies, my body isn’t well, so I can’t stand up. Please forgive me.” A calm voice rang out, and no sooner had his voice fallen than a wisp of Aura spread from Han Li’s body. In an instant, the Aura of the two great Demon Emperors was completely nullified.

Seeing this scene, Du Xuan and the two Demon Emperors’ expressions changed slightly.

“Daoist Han, isn’t it? May I ask where Daoist Han is from?”

Du Xuan looked at him, his voice cold.

“Daoist Han is from the Central Continent,” Ye Qingyun said at this moment.

“Central Continent!”

Du Xuan’s pupils contracted, and the two Demon Emperors’ gazes also slightly narrowed.

“Fellow Daoists, please don’t take offense, please sit first,” Ye Qingyun spoke again.

Du Xuan and the two Demon Emperors exchanged glances, said nothing, and directly sat opposite Han Li.

“Sect Leader Ye, is this Daoist Han perhaps your friend?” Du Xuan looked at Ye Qingyun and asked.

“Yes,” Ye Qingyun nodded.

“Daoist Han is a guest at my Qingyun Sect,” Ye Qingyun added.

“A guest…” Du Xuan’s eyes flickered.

“Sect Leader Ye, do you still remember what we discussed? I gave you ample time,” Du Xuan looked at Ye Qingyun, getting straight to the point.

Although this Han Li seemed not simple, he was merely a Divine Aperture Peak cultivation. With the addition of Demon Emperor Chixue, his confidence was even greater; he was absolutely certain!

What if he came from the Central Continent?

This was the Northern Continent Demon Realm, not the Central Continent. Even if he came from a Holy Land, his reach couldn’t extend here.

Ye Qingyun lowered his head.

Du Xuan looked at him and spoke again, “Sect Leader Ye, after the merger, it will bring great development to both our sects. I can even promise to give Sect Leader Ye the position of Vice Sect Leader, how about it?”

“Merger? It would be better to say Devouring Heaven and Earth directly,” Han Li’s voice rang out at this moment.

Du Xuan frowned upon hearing this and looked at him.

“Daoist Han, this matter seems to have nothing to do with you.”

“Sect Leader Ye is my friend, so how is it not related?” Han Li said indifferently.

“Hmph, Daoist Han, I’m giving you Face by calling you a Fellow Daoist, but don’t be ungrateful. The North Continent is not your Central Continent. If you die here, even a Holy Land can do nothing.”

Du Xuan’s gaze was cold, and Killing Intent flashed in his eyes.

“Well said. This isn't the Middle Continent, kid. Today has nothing to do with you. If you're sensible, scram. If not, then die.”

Demon Emperor Tianqing spoke, his sharp gaze piercing like a blade.

The atmosphere in the main hall instantly took a turn for the worse.

“Sect Leader Ye, can we come to an agreement?” Du Xuan looked at Ye Qingyun.

“We can talk, but Sect Leader Ye said there are conditions.”

Han Li said indifferently.

“What conditions?” Du Xuan frowned tightly.

“Survival of the fittest, the victor is king!”

Han Li spoke.

“?”

“You mean you're unwilling to compromise?” Du Xuan's gaze grew colder, and his Aura seeped out.

Ye Qingyun looked at Han Li, feeling a bit unnerved.

He didn't know where Han Li's confidence came from.

Three Divine Hidden Realm cultivators!

Demon Emperor Tianqing and Chi Yue had been in the Divine Hidden Realm for many years.

Yet, there was no ripple of emotion on Han Li's Face.

At this moment, he felt like he was walking on a cliff edge, and one misstep could send him plummeting into an abyss.

“Sect Leader Ye, is this what you mean?” Du Xuan looked at Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun looked at Han Li, a flicker of defiance igniting in his heart.

“Yes!”

The single word was uttered with powerful conviction.

“Sect Leader Ye, this makes things very difficult!” Du Xuan said coldly.

“Difficult? Then don't bother!” Han Li retorted.

“You're quite arrogant for someone from the Middle Continent. It seems I can stretch my muscles today,” Demon Emperor Tianqing spoke.

As soon as his voice fell, Han Li directly stood up.

Ye Qingyun was startled.

“I'll give you a chance to see if you have the strength.”

Han Li's voice rang out, and he vanished from the main hall as a golden light.

“?!!!”

Ye Qingyun was stunned.

Du Xuan also froze for a moment.

Demon Emperor Tianqing sprang to his feet, his Demonic Qi erupting instantly.

“Very well. Today, I'll teach you how to write the word 'death'.”

“Whoosh—!”

Taking a step, Demon Emperor Tianqing vanished from the main hall.

Du Xuan and Demon Emperor Chixue exchanged a look and left at the same time.

The Grand Elder of the Northern Prison Sect also stood up directly and disappeared from the main hall.

“They're directly fighting...” Ye Qingyun's heart churned. Coming back to his senses, he took a step and vanished from the main hall.

Outside the hall, the demon kings and the Northern Prison Sect Disciples only saw two rays of light rushing into the sky one after another.

Then they saw the figures of Du Xuan and Demon Emperor Chixue also soaring into the sky. They quickly came to their senses and flew towards the vast firmament, ten thousand zhang high.

Above the sea of clouds, Han Li's figure appeared.

The next second, Demon Emperor Tianqing's figure also appeared before him, separated by no more than ten zhang.

Not far away, Demon Emperor Chixue, Du Xuan, and the Grand Elder of the Northern Prison Sect also appeared.

Ye Qingyun appeared on the other side.

He watched Han Li.

They were directly fighting.

Although he knew it was inevitable, he was still somewhat surprised.

Further away, the seventy-two demon kings and the Northern Prison Sect Disciples also appeared in the clouds.

“Your Aura is profound. You truly have some skill for someone from the Middle Continent. Today, if you defeat me, then we'll withdraw. If you can't, you die.”

Demon Emperor Tianqing's voice rang out, his monstrous Aura surging around him, Demonic Qi soaring to the sky.

“Roar—!!!”

With a roar, Demon Emperor Tianqing's body erupted with dense green light. A terrifying giant ape phantom materialized and charged directly at Han Li.

The sea of clouds shattered, the air vibrated, and boundless fluctuations swept out.

“Ang—!”

A Dragon roar resounded through the Void Realm. The next second, nine purple True Dragons erupted, and Han Li unleashed a punch directly.

The True Devil Power augmentation allowed his Sky Dragon Suppressing Prison to instantly reach its Peak.

“Boom—!!!”

Destructive fluctuations spread and impacted, the cloud-filled sky exploded, and a vast pressure swept out.

In the distance, the seventy-two demon kings and the Northern Prison Sect Disciples' expressions changed, and they hastily retreated.

But even retreating quickly, they still suffered some impact.

Du Xuan's gaze narrowed, and with a wave of his hand, he blocked the shockwaves.

The giant ape phantom disintegrated, and the remaining eight purple True Dragons directly slammed into Demon Emperor Tianqing's body.

“Pfft—!”

The overwhelming power caused Demon Emperor Tianqing to spit blood, sending him flying a thousand zhang backward.

“Whoosh—!”

Han Li's figure appeared behind Demon Emperor Tianqing. A terrifying phantom bloomed, condensing a brilliant fist print that he unleashed with full force.

Sensing an extreme crisis, Demon Emperor Tianqing immediately unleashed a Divine Ability. A layer of green light enveloped his body, forming thick armor.

“Boom!!!”

The fist print landed, directly shattering Demon Emperor Tianqing's armor. Terrifying power penetrated his body, and a large mouthful of Demonic Blood splattered out.

“Woo—!”

A black hole materialized behind Han Li. A Kunpeng giant beast phantom, as if real, charged out, and endless Divine Light blasted towards Demon Emperor Tianqing.

Severely injured a second time, his life Aura plummeted instantly.

The oppressive feeling of death swept over him. Demon Emperor Tianqing roared, directly manifesting his true form, transforming into a several-hundred-zhang-tall green ape.

His enormous fist shattered the Void Realm.

Han Li stood in the Void Realm, raising a fist to meet it head-on.

Compared to the several-hundred-zhang-tall Demon Emperor Tianqing, Han Li was as tiny as an ant. But when their fists collided, it was like a collision of stars. Visible destructive shockwaves swept out, and Demon Emperor Tianqing's massive body was directly sent flying.

He spat blood and was injured again.

“How could this be?!”

Du Xuan was suddenly shocked. The next second, a bloody light flashed, and Demon Emperor Chixue made his move.

Demon Emperor Tianqing was clearly at a disadvantage, so Demon Emperor Chixue directly intervened.

All verbal agreements were nothing but illusions.

“Elder Hong, lead the demon kings to slaughter everyone in Qingyun Sect.” Du Xuan immediately ordered.

The Grand Elder beside him immediately nodded.

“Not good!”

Ye Qingyun was suddenly alarmed. He came back to his senses and wanted to block, but the next second, a destructive strike pierced through the Void Realm.

Du Xuan had directly attacked.

In a crisis, Ye Qingyun had no choice but to turn and defend.

“Pfft—!!!”

With a collision, Ye Qingyun's body trembled violently, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

And at this moment, Demon Emperor Chixue's attack arrived.

A palm in the Void Realm condensed a powerful palm print, fusing the power of heaven and earth, and struck towards Han Li.

“Buzz—!”

The black hole rotated, directly devouring the palm print. The next second, it was unleashed back along the same path.

“What?!”

Demon Emperor Chixue was startled; his own attack was actually attacking himself.

He hastily cast spells to resist, and the Void Realm vibrated.

Destructive light waves swept across the firmament.

Even the radiance of the great sun was obscured.

At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Northern Prison Sect, the seventy-two demon kings, and the Northern Prison Sect Disciples directly charged towards Qingyun Sect.

But the next second, endless starlight shone forth.

The Grand Elder was immediately shocked. Those rays of starlight were clearly endless Sword Qi rushing forth.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!”

The starlight Sword Qi surged forth. The seventy-two demon kings didn't even have the power to retaliate and were instantly killed. Before their bodies could fall to the ground, a ray of light swept them clean.

“Grand Profound Divine Seal!”

The Grand Elder immediately unleashed his Divine Ability to resist, but in front of the starlight Sword Qi, his Divine Ability was not much stronger than paper. It was instantly shattered.

“Pfft—!” His body trembled violently, and the Grand Elder immediately spat out fresh blood, the Divine Light in his eyes dimming by three points.

However, before he could even catch his breath, Han Li's figure directly appeared before him.

A luminous Divine Embryo floated above his head.

“Sect Leader, save me!”

The Grand Elder was greatly alarmed and immediately called for help, but as soon as his voice fell, the Da Luo Sword Embryo above Han Li's head erupted with a supreme sword strike.

A sword strike condensed from endless Sword Intent pierced through the Grand Elder's glabella, penetrating his Soul and spirit, directly annihilating him with one sword.

A Middle Stage Divine Aperture Realm magnate died just like that, instantly killed!

“Hong Qiu!”

Watching this scene, Du Xuan was greatly shocked.

But it was already too late.

Han Li directly executed him, and Divine Light swept forth, even his Physical Body was collected.

Everything happened in a matter of a few breaths. Just as Demon Emperor Tianqing and Demon Emperor Chixue had calmed the vibrations within their bodies, the Grand Elder of the Northern Prison Sect was directly executed.

“Beast, take your life!”

Du Xuan was completely enraged. Divine Light shone forth, and a powerful Medium Grade Dao Artifact materialized.

A black saber.

“Slash!”

Activating the black saber, endless Saber Qi converged, shattering the Void Realm, and blasted towards Han Li.

“Buzz—!”

Devouring Heaven and Earth was activated. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Han Li directly devoured the terrifying Saber Qi.

The next second, the Saber Qi erupted from the black hole, blasting towards Du Xuan.

“What kind of Prodigy is this?!”

Du Xuan was terrified, hastily revealing another Dao Artifact shield, activating his magical power to resist the attack.

“Boom—!!!”

The divine shield vibrated, and Du Xuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, flying three thousand zhang backward.

And at this moment, Demon Emperor Tianqing and Demon Emperor Chixue transformed into their strongest true forms, simultaneously activating their innate Divine Abilities, crossing the Void Realm, and brilliant Divine Light shone forth.

“Sword of the Heavens, Boundless Great Luo, Slash!”

Han Li showed no fear on his Face. With the Da Luo Sword Embryo above his head, he directly unleashed the supreme sword move of the Great Luo Swordplay.

Heavenly Slash!

The Da Luo Sword Embryo vibrated, erupting with supreme Sword Intent, and a sword strike was directly unleashed.

With one sword, the light of heaven and earth was annihilated.

A destructive sword, space collapsed, and the Void Realm sank.

In an instant, it directly collided with the strongest attacks of Demon Emperor Tianqing and Demon Emperor Chixue.

The innate Divine Abilities of the two Early Stage Divine Hidden Realm demon emperors were no match for the Great Luo Swordplay.

In less than a breath, they were utterly destroyed.

The Divine-Grade swordplay displayed its rightful power.

The innate Divine Abilities of the two demon emperors could not block this sword.

The lingering sword strike charged towards the two demon emperors.

Danger!

The sense of crisis in their hearts exploded. The two demon emperors hastily joined forces and charged again.

“Boom—!!”

A hundred li vibrated, and the Void Realm collapsed.

“Pfft!!!”

The life Aura of the two demon emperors plummeted like a cliff.

And at this moment, Han Li's figure appeared out of thin air above Demon Emperor Tianqing's head.

The Da Luo Sword Embryo pulsed, and a supreme sword strike was unleashed again.

“No!”

Demon Emperor Tianqing's pupils contracted. He unleashed all his Demonic Qi to resist, but his defense was pale and powerless.

One sword directly pierced through Demon Emperor Tianqing's brain. The supreme sword strike was unstoppable.

Even an Early Stage Divine Hidden Realm demon emperor could not block this sword. His essence, Qi, and spirit were annihilated.

Demon Emperor Tianqing, fallen!
