King Xieluo's eyes widened as he stared at Yan Qianli, who was rushing towards him. His body struggled with all his might, trying to escape from the seven light pillars.
The ground shook non-stop, emitting a rumbling sound.
The light pillars shook non-stop, as though they were about to dissipate at any moment.
But at this moment, Yan Qianli arrived. He raised his two blood-red spears high up in the air, his murderous aura permeating the surroundings.
"Slash!" A blood-red spear pierced through King Xieluo's abdomen. It did not meet with any resistance, instantly piercing through King Xieluo's body.
And this was not the end. After the first spear pierced through, the second spear pierced through, aiming for King Xieluo's heart.
"Slash!" The spear pierced through his body again.
"Argh!" King Xieluo finally let out a cry of agony. His emerald eyes widened, as though he was in extreme pain.
"Rumble rumble …"
The ground shook even more violently. Cracks of varying degrees appeared on the seven light pillars, and these cracks were spreading rapidly.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the struggling King Xieluo.
And in King Xieluo's abdomen and heart, the two blood-red spears had completely pierced through his body. Circles of blood-red light spread from his abdomen and heart.
In the blink of an eye, it covered two huge areas.
It was a shocking scene.
The Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary stared at the struggling King Xieluo, as well as the spreading blood-red light. They were all anxious.
As long as King Xieluo was dead.
This battle would be equivalent to victory.
Because the Northern Barbarian Army was now surrounded by them. And most importantly, the Ancient Four Elephants Formation had been destroyed. So, what else could the Northern Barbarian Army rely on?
Just as everyone was thinking about this, the seven different colored light pillars finally shattered, turning into specks of light and dissipating.
And at this moment, King Xieluo's body was bleeding like a river. Blood gushed out from his wounds like a river, and he looked like he was on the verge of death.
"Is he dead?"
"This time it's his abdomen and heart. He can't be alive, right?"
"Yes, he should be dead!"
The Mountain Breaking Army and the Yan Cloud Calvary guessed.
"Old Lin, are you alright?" At this moment, Yan Qianli also turned his attention to King Liqin, who was standing nearby. His expression was one of extreme concern.
"I … I still have one breath left …" King Liqin panted heavily, his body slumping to the ground. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened.
"You're really lucky, old man!" Yan Qianli heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. However, the radiance that enveloped his body didn't retract immediately.
The Monster King was right in front of them.
Even if it looked like he was really dead, as someone with countless battlefield experiences, how could he not be on guard?
"Remember the conditions you promised me." King Liqin was clearly different from Yan Qianli. His body was so weak that he no longer had any strength. The seven-colored light around him had also completely disappeared.
"What conditions?" Yan Qianli looked surprised.
"Cough cough … Old Yan, you dare to go back on your word?"
"Since when do we have accounts?"
"You …"
"Be careful!" Just as Yan Qianli and King Liqin were arguing, a voice rang out from the city walls.
"What?!" Yan Qianli instinctively turned to look at the city walls. Naturally, he could tell that the person who spoke was Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi?
Be careful? This brat …
No!
Suddenly, Yan Qianli felt that something was amiss behind him. Just as he was about to retreat, he felt a figure appear behind him.
"Old Lin!" Yan Qianli's body trembled. He had already heard Fang Zhengzhi's warning. Even if he couldn't dodge, his life wouldn't be in danger.
However, if it was King Liqin …
Then there would be no consequences. He wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
That was because a powerful force had already struck his back.
It was caused by King Liqin crashing into his back. This caused his body to instinctively resist, and a blood-red radiance surged out.
But only for an instant.
Yan Qianli reacted, but it was too late.
The powerful impact sent him and Prince Li of the First Rank flying into the air. Like two sandbags, they crashed into the city walls.
"Kaboom!" A loud sound rang out.
Yan Qianli and King Liqin created a huge hole in the city walls.
"Grandfather!" Ping Yang's voice reverberated in the night sky. She, who was standing on the city walls, could clearly see what had just happened.
King Xieluo, who was supposed to be dead, moved again.
However, this time, King Xieluo did not move his hooves, nor did he move the curved horns on his head. Instead, he moved his huge tail.
His long tail whipped towards Yan Qianli.
It was too fast.
She, who was far away on the city walls, had no way of stopping it. However, she could see the expression on King Liqin's face when he helped Yan Qianli block the attack.
She also saw the blood flowing out of King Liqin's mouth.
Blood flowed down like a stream.
Without any hesitation, Ping Yang rushed down towards King Xieluo. The Blazing Qilin Spear in her hand shone with a blinding red light. A golden light could be faintly seen at the tip of the spear, bringing with it an unparalleled dominance.
"Ping Yang, don't go over!" Yan Xiu wanted to stop Ping Yang when he saw her rushing out, but it was too late. He could only shout at Ping Yang.
"Princess!" Shan Yu also wanted to stop her.
However, Ping Yang did not hear her. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind. That was to kill King Xieluo and avenge her grandfather.
Bright red flames rose from her body, enveloping her body.
"Kaboom!"
The ground shook violently, and King Xieluo's eyes opened once again. However, compared to before, his jade green eyes had turned completely golden.
Golden, as radiant as the sun.
Pieces of black scales covered by the blood-red light fell like raindrops. When those scales fell to the ground, they made a loud noise.
Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists tightly.
He never thought that this battle with the Demon King had anything to do with him. In fact, he did not want to be involved in this battle.
But he was still involved. Even so, he felt that he had done everything he could. First, he led the Southern Region Army into the palace, then he snatched the Near-Life Gate, resolving the crisis in the palace. Finally, he used the Near-Life Gate to break the Four Symbols Ancient Formation and open the city gates.
Was that not enough?
Was it not enough for a person in the Supernatural State to do so much?
Furthermore, he even warned King Xieluo just now. When King Xieluo locked onto him, he did not run away. He even reminded him.
Who dared to say that he did not do enough?
The Demon King!
He could not even defeat the old man, how could he defeat the Demon King in front of him!
Most importantly, there was still Yan Qianli and King Liqin in front of him. Both of them were stronger than him, so why should he still fight?
Fang Zhengzhi did not think that he had any heaven-defying luck to be immortal. On the contrary, he almost died in the battle with Canyang.
Even now …
That battle left him with a huge hidden danger.
Help!
Or not!
Fang Zhengzhi faced this choice. It was actually very easy. But now, when Ping Yang charged forward, when he saw King Xieluo's tail whipping towards Ping Yang …
Once again, he had no other choice.
"Idiot, let go of that girl!" Fang Zhengzhi charged forward, and just as the huge tail was about to hit Ping Yang, he charged forward.
Furthermore, he purposely emphasized his tone and voice.
Of course, he was not King Xieluo's match, but it was still better than standing here and watching Ping Yang die in front of him.
"Hmm?" King Xieluo looked at Fang Zhengzhi fiercely, his golden eyes shining with a cold light. Then, his lips curled into a cold smile. "It's too late. Initially, I only planned to kill you. Now, I'm going to start a massacre. Not only will this little princess die, but everyone in the Flame Capital City will die!"
"What?!"
"Oh no, save Her Highness!"
"How dare you, Demon King! Don't you dare hurt Her Highness!"
When the Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary heard King Xieluo's words, their expressions changed. However, how could they stop the Demon King's attack?
"No!" Fang Zhengzhi was equally shocked when he heard King Xieluo's words. But Ping Yang was already in front of King Xieluo.
He could see the determination in Ping Yang's eyes.
It was a very foolish determination.
But he understood this foolishness. Just like himself, he knew that he was no match for the Demon King, but he still charged forward.
But this foolishness …
He still had to pay the price.
"Boom!"
King Xieluo's tail still landed on Ping Yang's body, causing the flames on Ping Yang's body to melt like snow. Ping Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Red Flame Flower Armor on her body shattered.
And then …
Ping Yang's body fell to the ground violently.
Obviously, King Xieluo had no intention of repelling Ping Yang. He purposely left Ping Yang beneath his feet, because that was the only way Fang Zhengzhi would come over.
"Bam!"
Ping Yang's body slammed heavily onto the ground. Her face was extremely pale, and fresh blood continuously gushed out from her mouth, dying her pink lips a bright red.
However, she did not close her eyes.
She did not faint.
Her clear eyes were still wide open, and she gripped the Blazing Qilin Spear tightly in her hands. That was a stubbornness that came from the depths of her heart.
No one knew what Ping Yang was thinking.
Because King Xieluo clearly had no intention of killing Ping Yang. Instead, he used Ping Yang as a hostage. Then, at this moment, Ping Yang should close her eyes.
At the very least …
She should not let King Xieluo notice her.
But she didn't. Not only did she not close her eyes, she quickly climbed up from the ground with great difficulty. However, her thin and weak body seemed to be extremely strenuous. Her slender legs and arms were trembling non-stop.
"Ping Yang, run!" Fang Zhengzhi did not know why Ping Yang stood up, but he felt that Ping Yang had become smarter over the past year.
Could it be that she did not know how to play dead?
Alright, forget it if she really did not know how to.
She should at least know how to run, right?
Fang Zhengzhi did not think about the reason why Ping Yang stood up. He felt that he had to delay King Xieluo now, and create an opportunity for Ping Yang to escape.
"Cough cough …" Ping Yang coughed heavily, and her pale face looked extremely determined. "No, I won't run, I'm very strong!"
Fang Zhengzhi was stunned. This was not the first time he heard Ping Yang say something like that. But, for someone who had not even reached the Heavenly Reflection State to keep saying that she was very strong, was there any meaning to that?
Strong …
You're strong, my ass!
"Run!" Fang Zhengzhi did not have time to discuss this boring topic with Ping Yang, because he was already in front of King Xieluo, and King Xieluo's tail was still above his head.
"Die!" King Xieluo was very confident in this strike.
Closer, closer.
Seeing that the tail was already above Fang Zhengzhi's head, King Xieluo's lips curled into a smile. Was he finally going to kill this guy?
One strike!
Perhaps it was not enough to kill a sage.
But if it was just a human in the Supernatural State, it was definitely enough.
King Xieluo was waiting for Fang Zhengzhi's head to explode, and for him to vomit blood, but that did not happen. This made him feel a little strange.
Because his whip was already on Fang Zhengzhi's body.
Hmm?
No!
This feeling is not right!
"Afterimage!" King Xieluo's eyes widened. He could also create afterimages in the air, but that did not mean that he believed that Fang Zhengzhi could do it.
Furthermore, to create an afterimage that could deceive him, it required more than just speed, it required confidence. Confidence that he could dodge his strike.
This guy, was he really only in the Supernatural State?
This doubt flashed across King Xieluo's mind, but he did not think about it, because he had already sensed Fang Zhengzhi's aura.
As a Demon King.
Of course, he could not rely on his eyes to see everything. His battle style was to sense the aura around him, so even if Fang Zhengzhi managed to dodge his strike, he could still quickly locate Fang Zhengzhi's position.
"Above!" King Xieluo looked up, and at the same time, he swung his tail again, aiming for the aura that he had locked onto.
However, the moment his gaze landed on the top of his head, a voice suddenly rang out.
His eyes widened as well.
This was because there were six different colored runes flickering above his head. Every single rune shone with a resplendent light.
