Amidst the roar, the Cloud Mountains surrounding the City Amongst the Clouds suddenly scattered like smoke, as if a typhoon had passed through.
A wave of demonic aura soared into the sky, instantly enveloping the entire Cloud City. The clear blue sky seemed to be dyed with a layer of dark red.
The Winged Men were horrified and looked in the direction of the voice.
"Who are you? How dare you behave atrociously in the City Amongst the Clouds!"
More than ten rays of white light soared up from within the city. They were all experts of the Winged Clan who had undergone three heavenly tribulations. Their auras converged to form a sea of light that charged towards the dark red sky. However, in a short period of time, they were actually unable to break through the surging demonic aura. They were all greatly shocked that there were actually such powerful experts in this world.
"Li Qingshan, it's you!"
Bai Jie frowned and looked at the pair of red eyes in the sky. It was different from the lazy drunken state of that day. At this time, it came with anger. It really had a momentum that could swallow the mountains and rivers, which made her secretly shocked.
If it wasn't for the City Amongst the Clouds behind him and the Winged King in the city to rely on, he would have had the urge to turn around and flee.
"Slut!" When Li Qingshan saw that it was her, he became even more furious and dared to open his right hand.
Bai Jie suddenly felt an invisible force grabbing her, and her body involuntarily flew toward him. She couldn't help but be overwhelmed with shock. White light surged from her body as she flapped her pure white wings to resist. At the same time, she drew her bow and shot an arrow. The arrow turned into a surging pillar of light that whistled through the sky.
"So he is Li Qingshan, he really lives up to his reputation! However, no matter how strong you are, you are only one person. How dare you come to my City Amongst the Clouds and behave atrociously. You are truly reckless! "
With this thought in mind, the Winged Men attacked at the same time.
The Winged Humans prided themselves on being elegant. They did not like nor were they good at close combat. Whenever they attacked, streaks of white light would appear. Not only was this technique swift and fierce to the extreme, it also had the power to destroy mountains and sever rivers. It was as if heavenly punishment had descended upon the world, instantly drowning Li Qingshan.
"Eldest Father!"
Li Fengyuan cried out in surprise and wanted to fly up, but a white light wrapped around his neck, making him unable to move.
"What are you thinking?" the Feather Human King asked.
"My old man is here, you're finished!" Li Fengyuan shouted.
"Oh?" The King of Feather Men didn't think much of it.
"Do you know what happened to the Dragon King Of The Sea?"
"This is not the Ink Sea. Very good, since he took the initiative to deliver himself to me, I will not let him go. This will save me a lot of trouble … Eh? "The Winged Man King suddenly looked surprised.
Within the surging light, Li Qingshan did not budge at all. Pieces of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell rose up as he used his innate ability, "Final Reflection of the Setting Sun", reflecting all of the attacks. He did not just reflect them back, but he also adjusted the angle of the attacks subtly. He gathered the light into a beam and blasted it at Bai Jie.
Bai Jie's eyes were filled with light. Her mouth was slightly opened, and an unprecedented fear shrouded her heart. This light beam had gathered the full power of all the Winged Human powerhouses. He would definitely be annihilated within, with no chance of survival.
In that moment, the various rumours regarding Li Qingshan flashed through his head again. From the destruction of Fire Melt mountain to the Ink Sea Dragon Slaying, perhaps provoking him was not the right choice.
"You want to force me to leave the City Amongst the Clouds? Okay. "Let's go see your Big Father."
The shock on the Feather Human King's face faded, and he regained his composure. He flapped his wings gently, and the dark green feathers trembled slightly, ripping through space.
Before Li Fengyuan could even respond, he had already arrived outside the City Amongst the Clouds. Surging white light filled his eyes.
Li Qingshan's expression changed. He never expected Li Fengyuan to suddenly appear. It was already too late for him to stop now.
"Your majesty!" Bai Jie looked at the familiar figure blocking her way and was overjoyed.
The Feather Human King looked back and nodded slightly. He flapped his wings again, and the attack that could annihilate mountains was completely swallowed into the ripped space, as if it had never existed.
Li Qingshan eased up slightly and became even more vigilant. Just like Gu Yanying had said, the Feather Human King was anything but trivial. With his appearance, even the unstoppable force field of the earth was cut off. The Feather Human King was just standing there, but he seemed to be in another world. This was definitely not something that he could do normally.
At this moment, Gu Yanying arrived behind him. Seeing this, she secretly gave him a thumbs up. Drawing the Feather Human King and the other Feather Human powerhouses out of the City Amongst the Clouds would undoubtedly greatly increase their chances of winning this battle. Although he was somewhat unhappy, he was still calm and strategizing in actual combat. He made people feel at ease and was an excellent partner to work with.
He decided not to say what he wanted to say, as he naturally knew what to do!
"Eldest father!" Li Fengyuan called out. He felt warmth in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the nursery rhyme that Li Qingshan sang to him. In the world, only the father is good. A child without a father is like a blade of grass.
"Don't be afraid. I'm coming to save you now!" Li Qingshan said gently. He then looked at the Feather Human King and asked, "Are you Bai Chen?"
"That's right. Why did you come to my City Amongst the Clouds to create trouble?" The Feather Human King retorted.
"Cut the crap. Let him go!" Li Qingshan said.
"This is an important guest that I invited. How can I let him go just like that?" the Feather Human King said with a smile. Li Fengyuan wanted to refute, but the light thread around his neck suddenly tightened.
"What an important guest!" Li Qingshan laughed coldly. "I've also been invited to the City Amongst the Clouds. Am I also an 'important guest'?"
"Of course." The Feather Human King clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Why don't we gather in the City Amongst the Clouds? I'll immediately order someone to prepare a banquet to welcome you and this friend beside you!"
"You know me?" Gu Yanying asked curiously. Although she had some fame, she had only undergone three heavenly tribulations recently. She admitted that she wasn't worthy of the Feather Human King's attention.
"You're the daughter of the Eagle God, the new star of the Feather Race. How can I not know you?"
"I see!"
Gu Yanying's gaze flickered when she saw the dark green feather on the Feather Human King's back. She immediately understood. The Feather Human King had a mystical treasure on him. He was guarding against the Feather Race from all over the world, so he was always paying attention to the potential enemies. Among all the Feather Race's Monster Kings, not to mention her father. He was definitely the greatest threat among all the enemies.
Li Qingshan muttered to himself for a moment. He looked as if he was afraid of harming the innocent. In the end, he nodded and said, "Alright. I've long heard of the City Amongst the Clouds. Let's see what kind of dangerous place it is!"
"Please!" The Feather Human King raised his hand gracefully.
Li Qingshan strode forward, and Gu Yanying followed closely behind him. Both of them were tense. This wasn't just an act. Whether they could win this battle depended on whether they could display their sleepiness. The distance between them and the Feather Human King was extremely important.
At the same time, this performance was also to lower the Feather Human King's guard. If he was too relaxed, he would be on his guard.
The Feather Human King frowned slightly. As Li Qingshan approached, he felt an indescribable sense of danger. He felt that Yang Ling was advancing like a ferocious tiger that was about to pounce on its prey!
The experts of the Feather Human King also gathered around and formed a battle formation. They immediately suppressed Li Qingshan's demonic energy. However, their expressions weren't very good. Just Now, when they attacked together, Bai Jie had almost died. This was a great setback.
The Feather Human King was relieved. The battle formation had been formed. No matter how strong Li Qingshan was, he was just a tiger in a cage. As for Gu Yanying, who was beside him, her power was limited. It seemed that she was already trying her best to endure. When they arrived at the City Amongst the Clouds, it would be impossible for them to escape even if they wanted to.
At the thought of this, he suddenly felt somewhat sorrowful. He was the dignified Feather Human King. He had the Roc's Feathers and a hostage, yet he was so afraid of a junior. This was simply a joke. He felt that it wasn't just his body that was aging. There was also his spirit.
This Li Qingshan wasn't even 100 years old. He was really young and enviably young. However, it was the time when one was young and full of vigor. It wouldn't be strange if he died.
Gu Yanying trembled slightly. Suddenly, she extended her hand. She suddenly reached out her hand and held Li Qingshan's hand.
Li Qingshan had thought that she was being suppressed by the aura of the Feather Human King. However, he felt a soul-piercing pain. She immediately understood. She had already started to activate the Hellfire Hot Wind to prepare for her attack!
In the eyes of the Feather Human King, she was seeking his help. However, she was actually sharing some "clarity" with him.
"Fellow Gu, what's wrong?" The Feather Human King seemed to have sensed something and suddenly asked.
"Nothing. It's just an old problem." Gu Yanying said with difficulty. Her lips were already dry and scorched. Her skin had turned yellow. Her entire aura was weakening. Only her pair of eagle eyes were bright and full of vigor.
"Could it be the School of Legalism's 《Naraka Scripture Transformation》? You're probably cultivating the Hellfire Hot Wind!" the Feather Human King said.
"Your Majesty is indeed knowledgeable. You even know this," Gu Yanying praised.
"Rumor has it that cultivating this technique requires one to frequently experience the pain of hell. Fellow Gu's willpower is truly astonishing."
The Feather Human King smiled reservedly. However, he couldn't imagine that this kind of masochistic technique could pose any threat to him. Just the Hellfire Hot Wind alone couldn't even harm a single hair on his head.
Meanwhile, Gu Yanying definitely wouldn't share even the slightest bit of clarity with him. She sighed and said, "In life, one has to suffer a bit. Just bear with it for now!"
At this time, Li Qingshan had already arrived within ten steps of the Feather Human King. "Some people are always asking for it!"
He suddenly took out the amber with the sleepy worm sealed in it. He lightly flicked it.
The amber flew out and shattered in mid-air. However, the sleepy worm disappeared without a trace.
"What are you doing?" Bai Jie shouted.
Li Qingshan was taken aback. This thing can't be that much of a scam, right?
But soon afterwards, endless fatigue spread out like an invisible spider web, sticking to every single feather human. Even the feather humans in the city amongst the clouds were affected, collapsing to the ground.
At the very centre of the spider web was the Feather Human King, Li Qingshan, Gu Yanying, and Li Fengyuan.
Li Fengyuan immediately fell into a deep slumber.
The Feather Human King knelt down on one knee. He wanted to close his eyes, but they did not. He questioned powerlessly, "What did you do?"
"Fuck you!"
Li Qingshan cursed. His eyelids constantly twitched, and his body swayed. He felt like all of his daemon qi was no longer under his control.
Even if he wanted to move his fingers, he would struggle to do so. All he could do was use the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression and do his best to maintain a clear mind.
It was not that the sleepy worm was ineffective. Instead, it was unimaginably effective.
Just like what Gu Yanying had said, it was not a true insect. It was just a technique that had been left behind on the Frost province. When it was continuously released, it could form a forbidden region, stopping the Skyfrost Wolf King in its tracks. Now that Li Qingshan had shattered it, it was equivalent to unleashing all of its power at once.
At this moment, Li Qingshan no longer had the time to think about what kind of person had cast this technique. Instead, he was worried about whether Gu Yanying could endure it or not. Bai Jie and the other powerful feather humans had already fallen into a deep slumber. They all fell out of the sky, vanishing into the rolling sea of clouds in the blink of an eye.
Gu Yanying's strength was impressive, but she definitely could not compare to Li Qingshan and the Feather Human King. Her cultivation was nowhere close to theirs. Even they were immobilised right now, let alone her!
When he turned around, Gu Yanying had already let go of his hand and was walking toward the Feather Human King.
The stunning face that had once made Li Qingshan fall in love with her at first sight was now so haggard that it was almost terrifying. The surging hot wind that surrounded her body had sucked away all the moisture in her skin. Her skin was quickly carbonized and blackened, as if it was about to combust.
"This woman …" Li Qingshan blinked his eyes forcefully. He suddenly understood why she had taken Qian Rongzhi as her disciple.
Gu Yanying tiptoed in the air as she walked forward step by step. She was like a toddler learning how to walk. Every step was extremely difficult, and she had to use all of her willpower and determination to do so.
She recklessly gathered the hot wind and mercilessly threw herself into the hell.
Her internal organs were all on fire, and her soul was as good as extinguished.
With a boom, her long hair was set ablaze. Her carbonized skin cracked, and faint flames could be seen from the cracks. She was already severely injured before she could even attack. She was on the brink of despair. If this continued, she would die here in no time.
She had only taken three steps out of the ten steps between her and the Feather Human King.
"This is too embarrassing!"
Li Qingshan sighed. She was now like a chicken that had its feathers removed and thrown into the oven. Then, she was forgotten by the chef and was slowly being roasted. She no longer had the heroic bearing of an eagle.
However, she was also like a phoenix bathing in fire.
The fourth step!
"Don't come any closer. Stop right there!" the Feather Human King ordered. There was a hint of panic in her voice.
Gu Yanying took another step forward. She had to reach the Feather Human King and pluck that feather before the power of the Sleepy Worm disappeared and before she was burned to death by the hot wind. Otherwise, if the Feather Human King attacked, Li Qingshan might be able to escape, but she would definitely die.
However, when she took the seventh step, she could no longer take it. Pain and exhaustion alternated, and finally, they seemed to merge into one.
The voice in the dark spoke again. "I'm so tired. I'm so tired. What's the point of living in such pain? Why don't you just die like this? Then you can have a good sleep and no longer feel any pain. "
The Feather Human King was already very close. She could reach out and touch him, but she was also very far away.
At this moment, Li Qingshan moved. His posture was also very embarrassing. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was rolling and crawling.
"You're right. The old guy likes to sleep more. Go!"
As he said this, he pushed Gu Yanying's back hard. She threw herself at the Feather Human King. The Feather Human King tried his best to dodge. She grabbed his lapel tightly and tried to pluck that feather. However, she did not dare to touch the Feather Human King's body. It was not because she was afraid that men and women should not touch each other, but because she was worried that the hot wind of hell would make the Feather Human King sober.
Li Qingshan went up to assist as well, but the three of them were slow, sluggish, and heavy. The clash between the peak experts of the nine provinces actually ended up like a fight between children. As a matter of fact, it seemed even worse. It left him at a loss as to how to react. However, the danger hidden in it was no less than any battle that Li Qingshan had experienced.
Time passed, but in fact, it was only for a moment. Li Qingshan felt that the stagnant Demonic Qi was beginning to relax a little. He knew that the power of the Sleepy Worm was disappearing. The instantaneous explosion also meant a rapid decline.
If the Feather Human King was allowed to recover, this battle would be a lost one, and he would have to sacrifice Gu Yanying for nothing.
Thinking of this, he raised his arms and locked them around the Feather Human King's neck. He said in a deep voice, "Pull it out!"
