The experts of the border city watched the battle in the sky, using their spirit artifacts to resist the pressure descending from above.
However, Wang Jinhu was fighting three opponents alone, and none of these three Elders were simple!
That Moon God Bai Yue, the moon wheel behind her blooming with brilliant light, her body like frost, continuously attacked Wang Jinhu with ice crystals carrying the laws of ice. Below her, ice crystals had even formed a domain, magnificent yet carrying furious killing intent. Even high in the sky, she possessed the ability to freeze the land for 30 miles (50 km), or even 300 miles (500 km), and beneath the ice surface formed in the sky, ice dragons roared.
Beside her, the Wu tribe elder who looked like a young man, even though he was also in the Deity Transformation stage and had long been able to regenerate severed limbs, had an empty left sleeve. As he fought with Wang Jinhu, a totem appeared beside him. He stretched out his right arm, brought two fingers together, and constantly drew in the void. Every time he drew a strange array diagram, the diagram would be engraved on the totem.
The powerful technique formed by these diagram arrays madly poured Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi towards Wang Jinhu. Moreover, as he inscribed more diagram arrays, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi grew stronger, and the totem also grew larger!
Various kinds of laws manifested in the sky, forming barrier after barrier, trapping Wang Jinhu.
Bai Yue's ice attacks seemed to be countered by Wang Jinhu; they couldn't even penetrate his armor, and those ice dragons were easily smashed apart by Wang Jinhu's hammers. Wang Jinhu fought more like a body cultivator, smashing fiercely with his twin hammers. If not for the ever-increasing pressure from the one-armed Elder's diagram arrays constantly impeding his advance, it was feared he would have already hammered Bai Yue to death.
This truly frustrated Wang Jinhu. He said angrily, "And who the hell are you? What kind of technique do you cultivate? So bizarre!!!"
The one-armed youth simply continued inscribing the diagram arrays, ignoring Wang Jinhu.
He glanced at the ineffective Bai Yue, and then at the old man who still hadn't made a move, his hands still tucked into his wide sleeves. He said in a deep voice, "Moon God, Soul Duke, leave this place to me. You continue with the mission. Kill every cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage and above from the Li family and Azure Cloud region. Remember not to touch those cultivators in the Azure Cloud region who have backers; there's no need to attract unnecessary trouble for our Divine Bird Totem."
"Yes!"
Moon God gritted her teeth as she looked at Wang Jinhu. She desperately wanted to kill this successor of the Heavenly Light Sect on the spot, to avenge the humiliation of being defeated by someone from the Heavenly Light Sect all those years ago, but she could only give up on the idea. Immediately, she and the Soul Duke, who had been resting with his eyes closed, headed downwards.
Seeing this.
Wang Jinhu originally wanted to pursue them, but was blocked by the one-armed youth's diagram arrays, which formed barrier after barrier, growing stronger and stronger. Just as he was getting anxious, Wang Jinhu was suddenly stunned. Looking down towards Azure Cloud region's border city, another figure stood protectively before the Li family members, causing him to breathe a sigh of relief. "The Li family still has experts? Good."
The youth also furrowed his brow. He had originally thought the mission to eliminate the Azure Cloud region experts would be very simple, but unexpectedly, he had met with obstacles at every turn. He took a deep breath, sensed that Wang Jinhu seemed to be getting serious, and had no choice but to focus on dealing with the enemy before him.
"So, you're the leader of those two?" Wang Jinhu had also discerned that this one-armed youth was formidable.
"Mm."
This time, the one-armed youth finally reacted. He said solemnly, "My name is Luo Xing. General Wang, we are merely here to complete our mission. Azure Cloud region is already the land of our Divine Bird Totem. You shouldn't be our enemy. Now, you leave me no choice."
"Hahaha! Nonsense! Azure Cloud region is the land of my Azure Dynasty!"
Wang Jinhu laughed loudly. "I am a general of the Dynasty. His Majesty made a wrong decision, and as his subject, I am here to correct his mistake! I do have a choice, and I choose to kill all of you Wu Clan members, to demonstrate my Dynasty's resolve to resist the enemy!"
Golden light gathered in his eyes, his twin hammers collided, and his aura flared, several times stronger than just moments before. He suddenly charged forward!
As the twin hammers rang out, he was like a god of war incarnate!
...
On the other side.
The Soul Duke still maintained his calm and unperturbed appearance. The moon wheel behind Bai Yue swirled as ice crystals fell along with her, heading towards the people of the Azure Cloud region below.
These ice crystals, carrying the power of fundamental laws, shattered the formation the Azure Cloud region experts had originally used to block the pressure from the sky!
Just as the expressions of the Azure Cloud region members changed in alarm, and the Li family members, frowning, picked up their spirit tablets.
The Soul Duke, who had been resting with his eyes closed the whole time, suddenly opened his turbid eyes.
"Rumble!"
The ground cracked open, and a stone wall, three miles long, unexpectedly materialized out of thin air at the border of Azure Cloud region, blocking Bai Yue's ice crystals!
The shout of a young man came from the sky.
"That's them, Senior! Bullying the people of our Li family! I told you long ago that you, old sir, are our Li family's backer! Look at what they're doing! Isn't this a slap in your face?"
The ice crystals in the sky collided with the high wall, ripples of laws spreading through the heavens and earth, forming a transparent barrier in the center between the Azure Cloud region's border and the Endless Forest.
Watching this scene, combined with the calm expressions of the Li family members.
All the experts of Azure Cloud region looked towards this group of silent Li family members who had been keeping quiet. Good, they don't usually show off, but they have a lot of backers!
"Who is it? Who is blocking me again?!?!"
Bai Yue could no longer maintain her composure. This fellow who had suddenly appeared had blocked her again, and moreover, she sensed that this fellow also countered her!
The Soul Duke shook his head at Bai Yue. "Moon God, do not be impetuous. Continue with the mission."
After speaking.
He headed towards the location where the spiritual power fluctuation from the ability just used had originated.
Bai Yue crossed over the high wall, staring fixedly at the people of Azure Cloud region. She narrowed her eyes, "Now let's see who can save you?!?"
Just as her voice fell, ice crystals once again rained down towards the Azure Cloud region.
As the people of the Azure Cloud region frantically used their techniques, fighting together to resist the ice crystals.
Li Dalong gave a cold shout, "Old Tree, assist the Ancestor in using the Ancestral Spirit Formation Diagram!"
That night.
The Primordial Blood Tree revealed its original form, 30 miles tall!
Their Ancestor had once bestowed upon them an 'Ancestral Spirit Formation Diagram', capable of gathering the power of the entire village, but it had never been used. Tonight, over a hundred years later, the village had become a town, and subsequently a city!
Tonight, under the blood night, the Li Clan Ancestral Spirit Formation, manifest!
In the eyes of everyone in the Azure Cloud region, the roots and stems of the Primordial Blood Tree descended from the sky like spider silk, landing on all Li clan descendants, as well as all the people of Merit City and the experts belonging to the Li family's forces on the ground!
At this moment.
Light flickered on the bodies of these people. Without exception, a single character lit up on each of them—Li!
"What is that?!?!"
Bai Yue, who was manipulating the ice crystals in mid-air, was stunned. She sensed that a strange figure had appeared in front of the Primordial Blood Tree!
It wasn't just her; Wang Jinhu and Luo Xing, who were locked in combat, as well as the Soul Duke and Daoist Shanchen, who had just clashed using laws, all looked towards the Primordial Blood Tree.
The ancestral spirit tablets before the Li clansmen strangely floated to the front of the Primordial Blood Tree.
The ancestral spirit tablets merged, forming a single tablet 3 miles high. The roots and stems of the Primordial Blood Tree connected to the back of this giant tablet, and before the tablet, a figure-like black mist appeared.
He stood upon a Yin-Yang fish diagram, held a silver spear, and above his head flickered two streams of light, one black and one white.
With a wave of the long spear.
The countless ice crystals Bai Yue had unleashed all shattered, flashing with dazzling, bewitching streams of bright light in the blood-red night!
Then, a cold glint flashed from the spear tip; he instantly vanished from his spot, heading straight for Bai Yue's head!
