Nearer, nearer …
Seeing that the blood-red spears were about to reach King Xieluo's body, the Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary were all extremely nervous.
"Slash!"
Nothing unexpected happened. The two blood-red spears pierced into the two halves of King Xieluo's body. The crystal-clear light spread rapidly with the spears as the epicenter.
King Xieluo, who was still struggling, stopped moving at this moment. He became completely still, allowing the rain and the light to spread.
"Is he dead?!"
"Is he really dead?"
"I think he's dead?"
Everyone stared at the two halves of King Xieluo's body, not daring to confirm their suspicions.
"Pfft!" At this moment, a mouthful of blood splattered from the sky.
Following that, a figure descended from the clouds. His black robe was completely drenched by the rain and his face was extremely pale. However, he still held his sword tightly in his hand.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" Yan Qianli saw the figure descending from the sky and immediately rushed forward to catch Fang Zhengzhi's body.
However, his gaze never left King Xieluo's body. His blood-red eyes stared intently at King Xieluo, not relaxing for even a moment.
Until …
The two halves of King Xieluo were completely enveloped by the blood-red light.
"It covered him completely!"
"He's really dead this time!"
Cheers rang out at this moment.
"We won!"
"The Demon King is finally dead!"
"Prince Yan, Prince Yan …"
"Fang Zhengzhi, Fang Zhengzhi …"
All the Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary subconsciously cheered upon seeing this scene. Even though the Northern Barbarian Army was still on the city walls, as long as King Xieluo was dead, the outcome of the battle had been decided.
Even though this victory was not easy to come by, it was still a victory after all.
Cheers reverberated in the night sky.
Yan Qianli's gaze slowly regained its calmness. The blood-red light gradually faded from his eyes because he was extremely confident.
Once King Xieluo's entire body was immersed in the blood-red light.
Then, even if he was a Demon King.
It was impossible for him to survive.
Thinking of this, he stopped paying attention to King Xieluo and turned his attention to Fang Zhengzhi. Feeling Fang Zhengzhi's lifeless arm, he quickly took out a small bottle from his pocket.
"Eat this!" As Yan Qianli spoke, he opened the small bottle and poured out two red elixirs into Fang Zhengzhi's mouth.
However …
Just as he put the pill into Fang Zhengzhi's mouth, a terrifying force attacked him from behind, causing him to fall forward uncontrollably.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out.
Yan Qianli's body collided with Fang Zhengzhi's body. Then, a tremendous amount of power surged into his body from his back.
"How is this possible?!" Yan Qianli subconsciously turned around and looked at the figure standing behind him. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Because the person standing behind him was King Xieluo.
However, it was not the gigantic King Xieluo, but the humanoid King Xieluo. His white robes fluttered in the torrential rain.
The pair of golden curved horns on its head shone with a dazzling brilliance.
"He's not dead?!"
"King Xieluo is not dead?"
"How is this possible, his body … Wait a minute, his body is still in the air?!"
All of the Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary naturally saw this scene. However, what shocked them was that the two split bodies were still floating in the air.
They were covered in blood-red light.
How could this be?
How could there be two King Xieluos?
No one could understand.
Yan Qianli could not understand either. He knew that the Demon King's body was strong, but that referred to his regenerative abilities. How could there be two bodies?
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi could not understand it either. However, he could not figure it out now. Because, he was hit by Yan Qianli when he was completely drained.
How strong was the body of a Sage?
There was no need to explain it.
Just as Yan Qianli said, his bones were tough. Hence, the one at a disadvantage was Fang Zhengzhi. When Yan Qianli hit him, he felt as though his entire body was about to fall apart.
"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood along with the two red elixirs that he had yet to swallow. Blood splattered in the air.
And in the next moment …
Fang Zhengzhi saw King Xieluo, who was standing behind Yan Qianli, move again. However, he did not charge towards them. Instead, he flew up into the clouds.
In an instant, he disappeared.
"Oh no, King Xieluo is trying to escape!"
"Escape?! No, he's not trying to escape … he … he seems to be … "
"How … how is this possible?!"
"Could it be that he is also … borrowing the power of nature?!"
When the Mountain Breaking Army and the Yan Cloud Calvary saw King Xieluo charging into the clouds, they were confused. This was because, under normal circumstances, after a successful ambush, King Xieluo should have followed up with another attack.
However, King Xieluo did not. Instead, he flew into the clouds as though he was escaping.
This was a strange behavior, but this strange behavior caused everyone to have a very bad feeling to flash through their minds at the same time.
"Bam!" Yan Qianli and Fang Zhengzhi's bodies finally fell to the ground.
And at the crucial moment, Yan Qianli helped Fang Zhengzhi up, using his body as a cushion for Fang Zhengzhi. Even though he was directly hit by King Xieluo's palm from behind.
"Wah …" Yan Qianli spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he looked towards the sky and gritted his teeth. "This time, I'll go first. You guard the back!"
Almost at the same time, Yan Qianli charged forward.
Like a ray of light shooting up into the sky, a cold aura gushed out from his body once again. His expression was firm and unwavering, as though he was not injured at all.
"Elixir!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Qianli charging forward and smiled bitterly. He could not help but remind him weakly.
Then, a small medicine bottle fell from the sky and landed beside him.
Fang Zhengzhi did not stand on ceremony. He immediately opened the bottle and poured more than ten red elixirs into his mouth.
It tasted sweet in his mouth. He chewed on it subconsciously and realized that the taste was not bad. It did not taste like watermelon, lemon, or burnt. It was just slightly cooling.
If it had to be described in a sentence, it would be like eating a peppermint candy, making people feel refreshed all of a sudden.
Of course …
But this was relative.
Fang Zhengzhi was not in a good mood.
Demon King.
Indeed, he was much stronger than he had imagined. Even though he had forcefully increased his strength by three times and borrowed the power of nature, he still could not kill him.
He was too strong.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not regret his decision. He did not have any hopes of winning this battle. He only fought with all his might and killed with all his might …
That was enough.
After swallowing more than ten elixirs, Fang Zhengzhi felt a warm aura surging into his body. He raised his gaze again and looked towards the sky.
His crystal-clear eyes were filled with torrential rain and lightning …
"Chi Guyan, I … might not be able to keep my promise!" Fang Zhengzhi tightened his grip on his sword and charged forward, a purple sword radiance trailing behind him.
…
Yan Xiu clenched his fists tightly on the city wall.
His luxurious black robes fluttered in the torrential rain. Beside him, Shan Yu had already bitten her lips so hard that blood trickled down her lips.
"Will you stop me if I go up?" Shan Yu asked.
"Grandfather asked me to protect you!" Yan Xiu did not answer her question.
"I understand." Shan Yu nodded. Then, she leaped down from the city wall like a black cheetah.
Yan Xiu looked at Shan Yu, who had leaped down from the city wall.
He did not stop her.
Instead, he leaped down and followed beside Shan Yu.
"Young Master!"
"Queen of the Southern Region!"
The Yan Cloud Calvary and the Mountain Breaking Army shouted when they saw Yan Xiu and Shan Yu leap down from the city wall. However, Yan Xiu and Shan Yu ignored them.
Two silhouettes dashed through the torrential rain, running towards the battlefield at the speed of light.
No one noticed that on a roof not far away, there was also a figure dashing through the torrential rain. She had a cinnabar mark on her forehead and her black dress danced in the wind.
…
"Kaboom!"
At that moment, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. However, this bolt of lightning was not the color of lightning. It was a brilliant gold.
Yan Qianli's eyes widened.
He wanted to dodge, but that golden bolt of lightning came too suddenly. Moreover, it was too close, so close that he had no way of dodging it completely.
"Boom!" One of Yan Qianli's palms was struck by the golden bolt of lightning. Then, something strange happened. His palms seemed to have been devoured.
It disappeared without a trace.
"Ah, f * ck …" Yan Qianli's expression changed as he cursed in pain. At the same time, he quickly retreated.
However, at this moment, a figure descended from the clouds. His entire body was bathed in golden light, and he appeared beside Yan Qianli in an instant.
"Prince Yan, be careful!"
"King Xieluo!"
"On his forehead … what's that?!"
When everyone saw the figure that appeared beside Yan Qianli, their eyes were filled with obvious shock. This was because the crack on King Xieluo's forehead that looked like an eye had already opened.
However …
But it wasn't an eye.
It was a pearl. A golden pearl. It was crystal clear and there were streaks of lightning flowing within it. It looked extremely strange.
"It's the Demon Pearl!"
"Could that be King Xieluo's Demon Pearl?!"
"That's impossible. If the Demon Pearl is really on King Xieluo's forehead, then … shouldn't Prince Yan's first strike be on his head?"
Everyone looked at the golden bead in confusion.
"Hahaha … if I tell you that the body that you spent so much effort to kill was actually a slightly stronger beast that I subdued, would you believe me?" King Xieluo's voice echoed in the night sky.
"Beast?!" Yan Qianli held his broken palm with one hand. He looked like he was in pain. That body, was a beast?!
In an instant, a thought flashed across his mind. And when this thought flashed across his mind, his expression changed drastically.
Not only did Yan Qianli's expression change.
The Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary all widened their eyes.
"That's impossible!"
"If it's really a beast, why is it so powerful?"
"Impossible. That terrifying regenerative ability isn't something an ordinary beast can achieve. It can only be a Demon King …"
"Could it be that King Xieluo has been helping the beast to recover? Ever since the beast was injured, its body has been glowing with a golden light. That golden light is King Xieluo's power!"
At this moment, the Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary finally understood what had happened. However, no one was willing to accept the truth.
After so much effort, what they killed was just a beast?!
Who could believe it, and who was willing to believe it?
"Looks like you guys aren't willing to believe it!" King Xieluo's lips curled into a cold smile. He subconsciously looked down at Fang Zhengzhi, who was suspended in mid-air. "Brat, your performance really surprised me. Hmm … you now have the right to see my true form!"
"True form?"
"Could it be that the one just now wasn't it?"
"Impossible!"
Following the exclamations of disbelief, a golden light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire dark horizon.
And at the same time …
A body that was bathed in golden light also appeared.
It wasn't a gigantic body, nor did it have sharp fangs or a bloody mouth. It was a body that wasn't that huge.
However, the pressure that this body exuded was far more ferocious and shocking than the gigantic body that covered the sky.
It had a slender body with perfect muscles. Golden scales that glowed from head to toe covered the entire body.
It had four claws, and each claw was divided into five fingers.
At the fingertips, there was a crystal-clear blue nail. It looked like a tranquil beauty that belonged to the pure sky.
On top of its head, there were two golden horns that shone brightly. From the middle of the horns, there was a strand of snow-white hair that flowed down from the top of its head to its back. At the tip of the hair, there was a bright red, a fiery red.
His golden eyes were filled with arrogance and supremacy.
And the most special thing was that in the middle of the two golden eyes, there was a golden pearl. It was crystal clear, just like an eye.
Streaks of lightning flashed within the golden bead.
