Chapter 250: Chapter 36: Arrangements (7K Two-in-One Chapter)

With a loud bang!

The demonic hand was incinerated by the fierce sun, the Demonic Qi steamed away, and the void quaked.

The dazzling sun did not fade but instead continued to radiate scorching golden light, enveloping Li Hao and the other two.

“The Sacred Heart Talisman!”

Seeing the blossoming talisman light, Wan Shan, the Demon King’s expression changed slightly, not expecting Li Hao to possess such a precious item.

However, considering the Divine General Mansion behind him, it was not so surprising.

“It’s just buying a few extra breaths.”

He realized that this was not an offensive Sacred Heart Talisman and inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. If it had been offensive, the higher the quality of the talisman, the more terrifying the attack would be, even comparable to a strike from someone in the Ultimate Study Realm, which they could not possibly withstand.

But talismans of that level, there weren’t likely many throughout the Dayu Divine Dynasty.

“Attack, tear that talisman apart for me!”

Wan Shan, the Demon King, immediately summoned the Dragon Lord and the young man in the silver robe to strike together.

The void churned with Demonic Qi, the presence of three Demon Kings fully revealed, causing all the Grandmasters and reinforcements nearby on the battlefield to feel chills in their hearts.

Previously, the martial artists below the Heavenly Human Realm even assumed these three demons were from the Three Immortal Realms, not expecting that the demonic might they now exuded could make their hearts feel like bursting.

Some Grandmasters now turned pale, their surging blood as if quenched, already contemplating retreat.

Each person had different thoughts. Some were willing to risk their lives for a favor, but other Grandmasters valued their own lives more dearly.

They all expected Wan Shan, the Demon King, to attack, but not to this crazed extent, and certainly not inviting two other Demon Kings.

If it was just Wan Shan, the Demon King, they thought, relying on the power of the Divine General Mansion behind Li Hao and his combat strength nearing half a Four Stands Realm, combined with their help, fighting back was not impossible!

But the current situation at Heavenly Gate Pass was more desolate than they imagined.

There was no city left, barely any people; now, they could only see the dense hoards of demons, but what truly drove them to despair were the three Great Demon Kings!

Nevertheless, aside from a few, the majority of the Grandmasters had identified the three Demon Kings as soon as they arrived. Shocked, they realized it was too late to run and were prepared to fight to the death.

Thus, there were those who shouted for Li Hao to leave first.

Nothing was more important than preserving Li Hao, their hope!

In that case, their bones could someday be collected, and someone could still slay these demons!

“Feng, you guys go first.”

Seeing the attack of the three Demon Kings, Li Hao handed the burning Sacred Heart Talisman to Feng, knowing the talisman could deflect attacks from the Four Stands Realm, but it was only meant for critical moments to save one’s life. Escaping was difficult, especially when facing three Demon Kings.

Someone had to stay behind.

And the most suitable person to hold the Demon Kings back was himself.

Any of the three faced the possibility of death by staying behind, so it might as well be him.

At least, if he fought to the death, by activating the ‘Extreme Immortal Conversion,’ in the instant before his body dissipated, he might even have a chance to counterkill the enemy!

“Don’t be foolish!”

Feng Boping shouted angrily, refusing to take the talisman.

Li Hao’s Immortal Qi had already begun to release, ready to use action to force Feng and the others back.

But just then, a sudden rush of wind arrived, followed by the tolling of a massive bell.

The bell’s toll sounded like a chant, like an evening drum, echoing in everyone’s hearts.

The many demons outside the pass were shaken, their demonic aura fluctuating wildly, and those of lower rank had their demonic power collapse, unable to muster any strength.

The three Demon Kings affected by the bell’s toll all changed complexion, the Dragon Lord emitting a deep dragon’s groan, squeezing it out from the throat before it bellowed across the entire battlefield, filled with rage.

A figure in white clothes floated down, positioning himself in front of Li Hao and the two others.

“The Chief Tower Master of Tianji Tower!”

Song Qiumo’s eyes focused immediately upon seeing the individual’s appearance.

Feng Boping’s face changed drastically, with complexity, making eye contact with the Chief Tower Master. They exchanged fleeting glances.

Decades ago, Feng Boping had stolen from Tianji Tower, and thus he was an old acquaintance of the Chief Tower Master, but not the kind that got along. Instead, they were the kind that would brawl upon meeting.

He just had not expected that in this dire situation, it would be the other party who stepped forward.

“You’ve got guts!”

The Chief Tower Master of Tianji Tower, in his fluttering white attire, stood tall. He looked to be a middle-aged man, but he was actually several hundred years old.

At that moment, his expression was detached, but his eyes shot out cold glints, staring at the three demons before him:

“I gave you a place to dwell beyond the gate, yet you dare to invade our lands, seeking trouble!”

“What peace is there to speak of when Donghuang Continent isn’t ruled by the Jiangs? Why should we be confined to such a small space!”

Upon seeing the Chief Tower Master, Wan Shan, the Demon King’s face turned a shade of iron blue, knowing that today he likely wouldn’t get his way.

“Our Dayu territory was carved out inch by inch by the late emperor. Should I give it to you? Could you even handle it!”

Lu Chunsheng, the Chief Tower Master of Tianji Tower, scoffed coldly.

“A bunch of ants, who need only a pellet of land to survive, dare occupy such vast territory. Aren’t you afraid of being crushed to death!”

Wan Shan, the Demon King growled indignantly, now too lazy to pretend, openly expressing his innermost grievances.

Today, he realized he could not silence his enemies, nor avenge the murder of his offspring and sibling, and would even become a wanted fugitive by the Dayu Divine Dynasty, a regrettable loss indeed.
