The blood-red swirl revolved in the sky. Li Qingshan and Han Tieyi stood side by side on a hill, gazing at the battlefield below.
Two streaks of light flew over from behind. They were Hwa Seung-zan and his sister. They were worried for their safety, and they were rather confident in their mental fortitude and cultivation, so they had hurried over.
Li Qingshan pointed at the battlefield and called out with a smile, "Look, a sight like this is rare!"
Hwa Seung-zan gazed into the distance. Within the earth-shaking battle cries, various colours of light constantly flickered, the explosions of flames, and the clashing of blades and swords formed a soul-stirring chorus. He could not help but be drawn into it and fight to the death. He calmed down in a hurry and looked at Hua Chenglu beside him. She was much calmer.
Suddenly, he sighed inside. After learning about Li Qingshan's other identity, he no longer held any thoughts of competing with him. As for Han Tieyi, he had been good friends with him for many years. Han Tieyi's cultivation had always been greater. Even when he had been stuck at the tenth layer for all these years, he had still succeeded at Foundation Establishment first. However, he had caught up and was about to break through to mid Foundation Establishment.
Now, even his sister, who he had watched grow up without any talent, had surpassed him in cultivation. It would be a lie to say he was not disappointed at all. He made up his mind to cultivate properly once he returned.
"Can you save some more people?" Hua Chenglu was reluctant. There were quite a few people she knew on the battlefield.
Li Qingshan believed he had already done everything he could for these strangers, but he still had to pay attention to the battle between Si Qing and Mo Yu at the centre of the Dragon Arena at all times. How could he be in the mood for this? However, he could not say that out loud.
Han Tieyi said, "It's too late. They've already been completely assimilated by the will of the Asura realm. However, after they die in battle, perhaps their souls can return to the Asura realm."
Hua Chenglu asked, "Is that an asura?"
In the centre of the battlefield, the asura suddenly spun around gracefully, kicking up a cloud of dust. The first senior brother of the Horned Rhinoceros mountain missed. The metal maces whistled through the air and struck his back heavily. He staggered a few steps forward and fell to the ground.
Li Qingshan shook his head slightly. To a body-tempering cultivator like Horned Rhinoceros Mountain's eldest senior apprentice-brother, such a blunt weapon would not have much effect. Take this move for example. It was just that Horned Rhinoceros Mountain's eldest senior apprentice-brother had been agitated by the murderous aura and lost his mind, causing his entire body to be full of openings. It couldn't be said to be exquisite.
Sure enough, Horned Rhinoceros Mountain's Eldest Senior Brother roared and turned around to fight again, but he only managed to turn half his body around. The lower half of his body seemed to be frozen, motionless. Just Now, when it was hit, there was a crisp cracking sound. No one heard it as it was drowned out by the violent beating.
"His spine is broken!" Li Qingshan was slightly taken aback. Although the spine was a vital part of the human body, it wasn't something that could be broken so easily. He quickly understood what was going on. Just like how the Traitorous Demon Sword could see through the flaws of objects, the spine was not indestructible.
Asura's expression and aura were close to madness, but his attacks were extremely precise, it was clear that this was a killer move that had been practiced countless times. Moreover, he was clearly very familiar with the vitals and weaknesses of all kinds of enemies. With just one move, he had defeated an opponent whose cultivation was on par with his own, and from a certain point of view, was even slightly stronger. He had done it as if it were light, it was extremely easy.
Asura grinned maliciously as he struck the same spot with his mace again. Horned Rhinoceros Mountain's eldest senior apprentice-brother's eyes widened as he let out a roar. Asura raised his other mace, and as if striking a rock, he struck it again and again into the body of Horned Rhinoceros Mountain's eldest senior apprentice-brother. After striking it several dozen times, blood gushed out, and Horned Rhinoceros Mountain's eldest senior apprentice-brother finally breathed his last.
All of this happened in but a moment. The other Qi Practitioners reacted, agitated by Asura's aura, brandishing their weapons to kill him. Asura's murderous aura flourished even more. Instead of retreating, he charged into the fray, his two mace swinging wildly, immediately stirring up a whirlwind of slaughter.
All Li Qingshan saw was that Asura's attacks were vicious. There was no pattern to it, but every single strike was precise and effective. They were all killing moves honed through endless slaughter. Basically all the Qi Practitioners who clashed with him died in a single move. A while later, several more people died to his metal mace.
However, in a chaotic battle like this, it was impossible for him to emerge unscathed unless he had three heads and six arms. A few deep wounds appeared on his body, but they did not bleed. Instead, they rapidly healed.
"To think that a low level Asura like him possesses such vitality. How impressive. If the battle continues, he'll definitely be the last one to survive."
Li Qingshan rubbed his chin. An Asura like that was even more powerful than some Foundation Establishment cultivators who were not skilled in battle. If it were a sect like the Sect of Clouds and Rain that primarily practised the arts of charm, it would not even be strange for Asura to kill them.
"That's the Undying Body of Asura! It's said that powerful Asura can even be reborn from a single drop of blood, "Han Tieyi mentioned everything he knew about Asura.
"Reborn from a single drop of blood? Interesting!"
Li Qingshan said. He believed that once he cultivated the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa to a certain level, he could also be reborn from a single drop of blood.
As he said that, another Asura descended from the sky, followed by a third, a fourth … More and more Asura entered the battlefield, working together very quickly. Their teamwork was exquisite, turning them into an army that became more and more unstoppable. They split up the battlefield and massacred the frenzied Qi Practitioners wantonly.
Hwa Seung-zan's expression changed slightly. Even he had to flee from an army of Asura like that.
Li Qingshan asked Han Tieyi another question, "If I have the Asura Field, can I summon Asura to fight for me?" If that was the case, this would be an endless army. If more powerful Asuras were to be summoned, even he would find it difficult to deal with.
"I don't know, but it's possible!"
Han Tieyi said. Although the Great General Lord had an Asura Field, it had been peaceful for too long. No one had personally seen him use the Asura Field to fight.
The battle quickly came to an end. All the Qi Practitioners were killed, but not a single Asura died in battle. The Asura that descended from the sky had already reached a hundred. They stood among the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They closed their eyes, and the wisps of blood energy that permeated the battlefield were absorbed into their bodies. The color of their skin became even redder.
With a rumble of thunder, the omnipresent Heavenly Tribulation suddenly descended. Bolts of lightning struck one of the Asuras, and the other Asuras scattered. Looks of envy and wariness appeared in their eyes as they surrounded that Asura.
A single heavenly tribulation was clearly unable to pose any threat to such a lifeform. That Asura successfully passed the tribulation and became an Asura General. However, in an instant, the hundred Asuras attacked at the same time. They surrounded and attacked the Asura that had just passed the heavenly tribulation.
Li Qingshan was also very surprised by this change. Just now, they could still work together. Why did they suddenly start killing each other?
That Asura was in danger again and again, almost getting killed. Even one of his arms was cut off, and his neck was almost cut in half. His body was filled with heavy injuries, if he was a human, he would have died ten times over.
But he relied on the Asura's undying body to survive. Very quickly, he adapted to the change in power after passing the tribulation and slowly turned the situation around. With a thunderous roar, he used his single arm to kill several Asuras. His broken arm also grew out, becoming more and more unstoppable.
The battle between the Asuras was an eye-opener for Li Qingshan. A few moments later. That Asura General had the upper hand. The Asuras suddenly stopped and knelt down on one knee towards that Asura General, acknowledging him as their leader.
The Asura General appeared satisfied. He waved his hand, and the Asuras stood up. They gathered behind him. If it was said that they were fighting on their own just now, then they had completely formed an army now.
The Asura General looked at Li Qingshan and the others with his bloodshot eyes, shouting: "Have you seen enough? Let's fight! "
"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Han Tieyi leapt down from the hill and thrust his spear forward like a dragon.
"Just watch."
Li Qingshan raised his hand to stop Hwa Seung-zan and his sister who were about to attack. He had already faintly understood the Asura's way of fighting and killing. If there were no mishaps, that Asura would not rely on the strength of other Asuras.
Sure enough, when the Asura General saw Han Tieyi charging at him alone, he swung his battle axe and rushed forward. The hundred or so Asuras behind him remained motionless, only watching.
In an instant, their gazes met. Spear and battle axe clashed countless times, causing sparks to fly.
As soon as Han Tieyi attacked, he was constantly being suppressed and at a disadvantage. Even though he had already passed his first tribulation for several years, he was completely suppressed by this Asura General who had just passed his tribulation.
If Han Tieyi, who came from the School of the Military and was adept at fighting, was already in such a state, a regular Foundation Establishment cultivator would be even less of a match.
"Qingshan, why don't we watch closer and help Tieyi?"
Hwa Seung-zan's face was filled with concern. The battlefield was dangerous. The slightest carelessness could result in their heads being separated from their bodies. However, with Li Qingshan's strength, he could obviously ensure Han Tieyi's safety.
Li Qingshan shook his head with a smile. "I'm standing here precisely so that I won't be able to provide assistance when it matters!"
Hua Chenglu frowned. "Why is that? Has he offended you? "
Li Qingshan smiled. "Of course not. Tieyi's my brother-in-law no matter what. Even if he offends me, I won't stoop to his level. However, he's a warrior. Only when he's faced with death can he be reborn. "
Hwa Seung-zan immediately understood what he was trying to say. Han Tieyi wanted to use this battle to break through to mid Foundation Establishment. If he had a path of retreat and protection, he would instead be unable to unleash his full power, so he could only hold back his worry.
Wind whistled past his ears, and pain radiated from various parts of his body. Han Tieyi gradually gave way, but he did not take a single step back. He allowed his blood to spurt out.
As the axe swung over, he was already in dire straits that he could not block, but he felt an indescribable delight at the juncture between life and death. A wanton smile appeared on his cold face, and suddenly, a power broke through his shackles and spread through his limbs. The spear in his hand suddenly seemed to be alive, twisting the tip of the spear and pushing aside the axe at an unbelievable angle.
"Success!" Li Qingshan smiled and suddenly vanished from where he was. He leapt between Han Tieyi and the Asura General, wielding his spear with one hand and swatting aside the axe with the other.
Han Tieyi frowned. Li Qingshan smiled. "Victory and defeat have been decided. There's no point in fighting anymore. If you really die, I won't be able to explain myself to Qiongzhi!"
Although Han Tieyi had broken through to mid Foundation Establishment, he had lost too much blood during the battle. He was already exhausted, and his spiritual power was completely depleted. He was only holding on with his will. The Asura General was still as majestic as ever.
As Han Tieyi retreated, the group of Asuras charged forward.
Li Qingshan swung the Traitorous Demon Sword and said to the Asura General, "We'll fight again when you're well rested!" As he spoke, his body expanded, and he transformed into his demonic form, his killing intent boiling.
The Asura General stared at Li Qingshan as if he was facing a great enemy. He waved his hand to signal for the Asura to stop. Gradually, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
