Liu Gu followed closely behind. The two of them used the most barbaric and primitive method to fight with each other, one with a blade and the other with a sword.
At this time, at the peak of the imperial city, the long-robed cultivator shouted again, "Get ready … There's still one more moment!"
Si Wuya turned around and said,
"The Ten Terminal Formation will vanish in fifteen minutes. All cultivators above the Divine Court realm, get ready!"
"Understood!"
At the same time, there was a clattering sound as archers appeared on the walls of the Imperial City.
On the other side of the archer, there was a burly man looking down with a cold gaze.
"Prepare to fire!"
Si Wuya looked up at his Eldest Senior Brother and Liu Gu who were engaged in a fierce battle. He reminded Si Wuya, "Wang Yue is here. Be careful, Eldest Senior Brother!"
Bang, bang, bang!
Yu Zhenghai seized the opportunity and slashed at Liu Gu three times, sending him flying. At the same time, the rebound force pushed him back. He landed before the members of the Nether Sect.
"Sect Master!"
"I'm fine!"
But in reality, his arm was so numb that he couldn't move.
Liu Gu looked back and ordered, "Fire!"
"Fire!"
Xiu Xiu Xiu!
Yu Zhenghai raised his hand and swung it, breaking all the bolts.
It was at this moment.
With a light tap of his foot, he leaped five meters into the air and pressed the button on his Peacock Plume.
Several golden needles shot out.
Puff puff puff …
Every golden needle accurately hit the archer's glabella!
Wang Yue looked down at Si Wuya and said, "It's you?!"
He looked up and said with a smile, "General Wang, you're finally here!"
"Traitor!"
Si Wuya was once an official in the palace. It was not surprising that Wang Yue knew him.
Emperor Liu Gu raised his head and glanced at him. What kind of situation was this, and he was still talking nonsense here. He immediately ordered, "What are you waiting for?!"
"As you command!"
Wang Yue stood at the peak of the Imperial city and looked down at the members of the Nether Sect. He looked at the colors in the sky and said loudly, "Elders of the Big Dipper Academy and the Sky Conduct Academy, take your positions!"
There were two white-robed cultivators standing in each of the ten formation eyes. There was only one person standing in one spot, but this did not hinder the guidance of the Ten Terminal Formation.
The 19 elders looked up at the sky.
"Every time the Ten Terminal Formation is activated, it lasts for two hours. If you want to reactivate it, you'll have to wait for another hour. Everyone, listen up! Kill the Devil Cult and raise our imperial prestige! "
"Kill the Demonic Cult and raise our imperial prestige!"
"Kill the Demonic Cult and raise our imperial prestige!"
The shouts shook the heavens.
The remaining Imperial Guards in the Royal City ran out.
With the gravity reduced, the armored Imperial guards became incredibly valiant. As they charged forward as light as swallows, the Nether Church would definitely suffer.
Upon seeing this, Si Wuya ordered, "Form groups of three. Kill them!"
The members of the Nether Sect were well-trained. They moved swiftly in groups of three. Instead of retreating, they advanced.
The Imperial guards had suffered heavy casualties to begin with. The Nether Sect had the advantage in numbers.
With such a strategy, the Nether Sect was not afraid of the Imperial guards' attacks. Instead, they used the human tide to overwhelm the Imperial guards.
So what if you have boundless strength? You can't block three heads and six arms!
Bang, bang, bang!
In the crowd, the most savage fists and knives clashed together!
He stomped on the ground and charged toward Liu Gu.
…
Bang!
The saber slashed at Liu Gu's sword.
Crack!
After a long battle, the sword could no longer withstand a heaven-grade weapon's slash and broke.
"Die!"
Yu Zhenghai raised his saber with both arms and brought it down on Liu Gu's face.
Liu Gu's expression darkened as he retreated.
At this moment, a loud boom rang in the air. The curtain-like barrier in the sky disappeared, and the clouds dispersed.
A strong gust of wind blew, and Primal Qi surged!
At this moment, everyone's cultivation bases were replenished with Primal Qi and recovered rapidly!
He pushed his palms forward.
Two palm prints flew out in a spiral.
Bam!
Yu Zhenghai somersaulted backward and steadied himself.
At this moment, their cultivation bases were restored.
The Ten Terminal Formation was gone!
"Yu Zhenghai, even the heavens aren't on your side! Accept your fate! "
Whizz!
An avatar appeared!
A 100-foot tall Eight-leaf avatar without a Golden Lotus hovered proudly in the air.
The cultivators in the Divine Capital looked up at this scene.
Yu Zhenghai was inwardly shocked as well.
He did not expect Liu Gu to sever his lotus and recultivate to the Eight-leaf stage in such a short time.
The appearance of this avatar shocked the Divine Capital!
Wang Yue shouted and summoned his Eight-leaf avatar as well.
Whizz!
He descended from the peak of the Imperial city and looked at the members of the Nether Sect.
Without the other Eight-leaf cultivators to deal with Wang Yue, what would the Nether Sect do?
Meanwhile, 19 white-robed cultivators rose into the air and hovered above the Imperial city.
Yu Zhenghai hovered in the air and surveyed his surroundings.
"The Big Dipper Academy? The Sky Conduct Academy? "
The 19 elders looked down from the skies.
"The Fiend Sect is wreaking havoc in the world. They should be killed!" one of the elders said.
With one elder taking the lead, the others chimed in.
"The Fiend Sect is wreaking havoc in the world. They should be killed!"
Si Wuya looked up and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, it's up to you now!"
This was the reason Si Wuya had asked if Yu Zhenghai was confident before he came. Yu Zhenghai had to have the determination to fight them all alone. Otherwise, it would all be for naught if the Ten Terminal Formation was broken.
The tens of thousands of Nether Sect members could only go this far with him.
Yu Zhenghai turned around with his hands on his back. His tone was grim and cold.
"Eight-leaf?"
The 19 elders were not Eight-leaf cultivators.
On the Imperial city's side, only Liu Gu and Wang Yue were left.
At this moment …
Yu Zhenghai's figure vanished!
"Hm?" Wang Yue did not expect Yu Zhenghai to attack so abruptly.
In the next second, Yu Zhenghai appeared above Wang Yue.
The Jasper Saber in his hand shone brightly.
"Great Dark Heaven Memorial, Sovereign's Descent!"
With Yu Zhenghai in the center, the entire Imperial city was instantly shrouded by densely packed energy sabers. They rained down like the ocean.
The Imperial Guards were completely powerless and were killed in an instant.
Wang Yue controlled his avatar and shot toward the horizon, trying to evade the attack.
Yu Zhenghai unleashed his grand technique again and followed closely behind. Mountains and Rivers Subduing Saber!
Bam!
The energy saber landed on Wang Yue's avatar.
Crack!
The avatar's arm was severed!
A wail rang in the air. Wang Yue panicked. Wang Yue turned around and fled. He wanted to run!
Yu Zhenghai unleashed his grand technique again. Like an eagle catching a chick, he dove. Dark Heaven Starlight!
The energy sabers sealed off Wang Yue's escape route. Wang Yue turned around to defend himself. The Jasper Saber spun and slashed at Wang Yue.
Bam!
Wang Yue reeled back.
He could not fight back at all!
They were both Eight-leaf cultivators, but the difference between them was like heaven and earth!
The cultivators in the Divine Capital were dumbfounded.
"Why does Wang Yue look more like … a Seven-leaf cultivator? He's not an Eight-leaf cultivator? Is he faking it? "
"Are my eyes deceiving me? Or has Wang Yue been faking it all along? "
"Impossible! How can an Eight-leaf avatar be faking it? I can believe it's a low-rank avatar, but who can make me eat sh * t while standing upside down?! "
Yu Zhenghai used his grand technique three times.
Wang Yue had lost the ability to fight.
Yu Zhenghai hovered in the air.
Liu Gu had been watching the battle. He did not interfere at all.
He clapped his hands and said, "What an eye-opener! Alas … you've wasted too much of your Primal Qi. Wang Yue has completed his mission!
"Let me see what you've been up to in the palace all these years!"
Swoosh!
Yu Zhenghai moved swiftly and unleashed his grand technique.
In the next moment, he appeared before Liu Gu and struck with his palm!
Great Dark Heaven Palm Seal!
Bam!
Liu Gu raised his palm to block. Under the impact of the palm seal, he reeled back.
The others widened their eyes in shock.
They finally understood that Yu Zhenghai was unleashing his full strength with each of his attacks.
Si Wuya, on the other hand, frowned as he watched. Although this scene resembled his master's domineering style, if this went on, he would soon run out of Primal Qi. How was he going to fight then?
The 19 elders were intimidated by Yu Zhenghai's domineering style of attack. They did not dare to make a move. They could only watch on in a daze.
Bam!
Bam!
Yu Zhenghai kept pushing his palms forward. The two of them were unstoppable. They flew westward. Wherever they passed, everything in their path crumbled and was flattened.
"You're mad!" Liu Gu frowned as he kept launching palm seals.
"I've told you … I'll take your life today!"
An energy saber appeared!
"Great Dark Heaven Energy!"
"You're mad!"
Without another word, Liu Gu fled.
He flew out of the Divine Capital and the Imperial city.
Upon seeing this, Si Wuya hastily said, "Send word to the Evil Sky Pavilion! Quick! Cloud Rage River! "
"Understood!"
Si Wuya looked around and said, "Hua Chongyang!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Stand up! Stand beside me! "Si Wuya's voice was filled with power.
Hua Chongyang rose to his feet upon receiving the order.
Whizz!
A Seven-leaf avatar appeared, expanded, and vanished!
At this moment, the Nether Sect cultivators with avatars summoned their avatars at the same time.
Whizz!
A wondrous sound of energy resonated.
Unlike the resonance that appeared individually, this kind of joint resonance amplified all the Dharmakayas.
The Two-leaf and Three-leaf avatars of the 12 branch masters and the Ten Worlds avatars of the dozens of sect members lit up, illuminating the entire Divine Capital.
Hua Chongyang forcefully hid his dispirited expression and injuries. He looked up at the skies. "Let's see who dares to move!"
The 19 elders were shocked by the scene before them.
They looked at each other.
They looked at the heavily injured Wang Yue who was lying on the ground. Then, they exchanged looks.
"We'll wait for His Majesty's return!"
"Alright!"
…
After an unknown period of time.
Yu Zhenghai and Liu Gu were engaged in a chaotic battle.
The cultivators in the Divine Capital only sighed in relief when they flew out of the city gates.
No one could catch up to their speed, and no one could see this shocking battle.
They could only sigh helplessly. They shifted their attention to Si Wuya and the 19 elders of the Nether Sect.
Yu Zhenghai sped along the way with Liu Gu in front and Liu Gu behind him.
The energy sabers swept through the forests, rivers, and mountains.
"Let's see where you can run to now!"
The energy sabers shone brilliantly as they closed in on Liu Gu.
Runic seals suddenly shot out from Liu Gu's body. Bam! Bam! Bam! The runic seals collided with the energy sabers.
Liu Gu turned around.
He looked down.
"Cloud Rage River will be your burial ground." Liu Gu no longer traveled west.
"Hm?"
"Yu Zhenghai, if it weren't for Si Wuya, you wouldn't be a match for me. It was like that back then, and it'll be the same today, "Liu Gu said as he hovered in the air.
"It's futile!"
Yu Zhenghai vanished and reappeared above Liu Gu in a flash.
Sovereign Descent!
The energy sabers rained down with an earth-shattering momentum.
Liu Gu shouted, "Do you really think I don't have any tricks up my sleeves?"
He waved his sleeve. His sleeve shone with a red radiance.
"Magistrate Brush!"
The red brush hovered in the air as red runic seals shone. The red runic seals formed a wall-like barrier that blocked the energy sabers.
Yu Zhenghai's eyes flashed fiercely as he said, "Back then, we were both sold to Lou Lan … I saw you as a brother who went through thick and thin with me. I saved your life! For the sake of glory and wealth, you killed your brother, Jiang Lai! You even ambushed me when I was injured! If you don't die, how can you face your dead brother? If you don't die, how can you face me? "
"The facts have proven that I've done the right thing … The grand shaman of Lou Lan promised me and gave me the appearance of an emperor. You once said that you don't want to be bullied by others. You want to trample on those who bullied you! I've done all of this for you. Shouldn't you be happy? "Liu Gu said.
"Happy? When you go to hell, you'll personally answer to the ancestors of the Wuqians! "
"I've cleared the graves of our ancestors a long time ago. From now on, there will be no more Wuqians in this world!"
Swoosh!
Grand technique!
Yu Zhenghai unleashed his grand technique. The Dark Heaven Starlight instantly sealed off all of Liu Gu's escape routes.
Energy sabers that resembled a windmill surrounded him.
"Wondrous Blossoms!" Liu Gu tossed the Magistrate Brush out.
The tip of the brush shone with red runic seals that spread into the surroundings. They seemed to form red flowers that flew toward the Dark Heaven Starlight. Bam!
Bam! Bam!
Yu Zhenghai summoned his avatar.
An Eight-leaf avatar descended from the skies.
Liu Gu scoffed and summoned his avatar as well. The Eight-leaf avatar suddenly raised its palms and held Yu Zhenghai's avatar at bay.
At the same time, the eight leaves flew out and spun like energy sabers!
"Hm?"
Yu Zhenghai had no experience fighting non-golden lotus elites. He found this slightly strange.
Bam!
When the first leaf swept toward him, Yu Zhenghai flipped backward. He immediately sensed the danger and dodged the remaining Seven-leaf attacks.
Liu Gu said calmly, "If you die on Cloud Rage River, you won't be reborn. You'll sink to the bottom of the river forever. I'm protected by witchcraft. I don't need a water source to be reborn. How are you going to fight me? "
Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly.
Liu Gu continued to say, "Moreover, you can't defeat me … Yu Zhenghai, open your eyes and take a good look at my avatar!"
Yu Zhenghai's avatar was above while Liu Gu's avatar was below.
The eight leaves flew back and forth, free and unrestrained.
One of the leaves was split. It seemed like it was going to split again.
"Eight-and-a-half leaves?" Yu Zhenghai was shocked.
"I have the Big Dipper Academy and the Sky Conduct Academy researching avatars … I'm familiar with the new avatar's combat style. I've been putting up with you all this while to lure you here! "
Liu Gu raised his hand slightly and enunciated each word clearly. "Is Eight-leaf … powerful?"
Yu Zhenghai did not hesitate. He produced a pill from his waist pocket and popped it into his mouth.
Liu Gu was slightly taken aback. He did not know what Yu Zhenghai was doing.
Yu Zhenghai said indifferently, "Eight-leaf … Indeed, it's powerful!"
His figure vanished as he shot forward.
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai flew between his avatar and merged with it!
At the same time, Yu Zhenghai's body shone with a golden light that resembled burning flames!
"You're just as crazy as before! I … would like to see the power of the Primal Fiend Potion! "
Whizz!
The two avatars collided.
The sound of the collision resounded through the forest.
The birds and beasts in the surroundings scattered.
The fishes in the river leaped out of the water and swam away.
The waves churned.
The winds raged.
Yu Zhenghai chose the Primal Fiend Potion.
This was the source of his confidence today. This was the reason he had been so confident in his grand technique!
"Saber, come!"
The Jasper Saber flew up from Liu Gu's avatar at a peculiar angle.
Liu Gu tossed his Magistrate Brush out.
The two weapons collided!
Bam!
Liu Gu sank while Yu Zhenghai flew up.
The two of them engaged in a fierce battle above Cloud Rage River.
From the beginning until the end, Yu Zhenghai had been fighting with all his might.
Under the frenzied attacks of a peak Eight-leaf cultivator, even the Eight-and-a-half-leaf Liu Gu found it difficult to keep up.
Boom!
Yu Zhenghai unleashed the Sovereign Descent again. The energy saber attacked Liu Gu's avatar.
At this moment, Liu Gu could not take it anymore. "Enough!"
He unleashed all of his potential and mobilized his avatar.
To everyone's surprise, the avatar's arms moved and gripped Yu Zhenghai's avatar tightly.
The Magistrate Brush shone with a unique red radiance.
"Sweep of a Thousand Armies, Abandon Wisdom!"
The tip of the Magistrate Brush swiftly wrote four scripts. The red scripts swirled around the sharp tip of the brush and flew toward the avatar's palm.
The avatar grabbed the scripts and stabbed them forward.
Yu Zhenghai pushed his avatar down. Instead of retreating, he pushed his saber down!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The Magistrate Brush pierced Yu Zhenghai's avatar's chest.
The huge energy saber formed by the Jasper Saber sliced off half of Liu Gu's shoulder from above!
Bam!
The two of them fell at the same time. Their avatars dispersed with the wind!
Yu Zhenghai wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and tapped his dantian's sea of Qi again.
He burned his dantian's sea of Qi!
He struck the air. Yu Zhenghai stood proudly in the air. He spread his palm, and the Jasper Saber spun back to him!
He slashed down again, not giving Liu Gu a chance to catch his breath!
"Are you trying to take me down with you?!"
In truth, Liu Gu had long sensed Yu Zhenghai's intention to take him down with him. However, he would not give up so easily!
"Platform … Look up at me! Remember my eyes! Die! "
The energy saber pressed down.
"I … won't die!"
He gritted his teeth and steeled his heart. He raised his arm angrily and stabbed the red Magistrate Brush forward instinctively.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Magistrate Brush stabbed upward.
The two of them faced each other as they fell.
The brush stabbed Yu Zhenghai's heart while the Jasper Saber stabbed Liu Gu's internal organs.
…
…
The wind gradually died down.
The energy dissipated.
Yu Zhenghai gripped the hilt of the Jasper Saber tightly and pushed it against Liu Gu.
Liu Gu gripped the Magistrate Brush as well.
Blood gushed out.
The Wuqians' blood was as red as a flower. It fell into Cloud Rage River and dyed the water red.
Yu Zhenghai was expressionless. However, there was a faint smile on his face. He seemed pleased with the outcome of the battle as he said, "You've lost."
"I … didn't lose. You're the one who lost!" Liu Gu's eyes were brimming with indignation. His life was gone just like that.
Bam!
The two of them separated.
Yu Zhenghai looked at Cloud Rage River. He had never thought that human blood could be so beautiful. It was as red as flowers in spring.
The effect of the Primal Fiend Potion was fading. His Primal Qi was fading.
Yu Zhenghai could feel his life slipping away.
"I've died twice … I've been cultivating on the mountain for 300 years. My great limit is almost up … No matter how I look at it, I've won." Yu Zhenghai chuckled and added, "As for you, you've died once in Lou Lan. Now that you're going to die again, you've been cultivating for 300 years … What's the use of your life?"
"You …" Liu Gu glared at Yu Zhenghai.
"You've studied the Nine-leaf stage for so long … I've studied the Nine-leaf stage as well. The Golden Lotus absorbs life. Without the Golden Lotus, you won't be able to extend your life … You'll still die. In the end, you'll have to kneel before the sects and repent with me!"
"You're the one who needs to repent!" Liu Gu stepped on the waves and unleashed his energy again.
At this moment, a smile appeared on Yu Zhenghai's face. It was a smile of contentment. He looked at the clouds in the sky as images flashed before his eyes.
He remembered his master and everything that happened on the mountain. Compared to other memories, the time when he was beaten up on the mountain was the most memorable.
Yu Zhenghai saw the cloud-splitting chariot in the sky.
"Master? An illusion? "
It was said that the illusion one saw before one died was the thing one would miss the most in life.
"I'm sorry. I'll repay you in my next life!"
However …
At this moment, a shining golden palm seal shot out from the flying chariot and shot toward them at lightning speed.
The Great Seal of Fearlessness?!
Liu Gu sensed danger. He stopped what he was doing and looked up.
The Great Seal of Fearlessness made the people fearless and at ease.
Liu Gu raised his Magistrate Brush with both hands. A red radiance instantly formed a huge defensive talisman seal!
The shining golden Buddha-like palm seal struck the red talisman seal!
Bam!
The palm seal pushed Liu Gu backward along the surface of Cloud Rage River.
Splash!
Waves surged!
Liu Gu looked at the five-fingered palm seal in shock. His eyes widened. "The power of a Nine-leaf cultivator?"
He frantically released his Primal Qi in an attempt to nullify the Great Seal of Fearlessness's power.
However, the Great Seal of Fearlessness did not seem to be weakened at all. It stuck close to him and pushed him further away.
It pushed him out of Cloud Rage River and into the forest. Then, it reached several towering trees. Boom!
In the end, it crashed into the cliff beside Cloud Rage River.
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 2,500 merit points."
On the cloud-splitting chariot.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion looked at Yu Zhenghai who was covered in blood. Their eyes widened. For a time, they were speechless.
Their Eldest Senior Brother, who was invincible in their hearts, was severely injured?
Lu Zhou descended from the air and pushed with his palm.
"With the power of incorporeal intelligence, you're able to conquer the land of Samsara without affecting your body and benefit all living beings."
Zuo Yushu tossed the weapon in her hand.
"I'll lend you a hand, big brother! Coiling Dragon Staff! "
"I can't just stand by and watch!"
"I'll help as well!"
Pan Litian tossed his Golden Gourd Bottle out.
At the same time, three lotusless avatars appeared under the cloud-splitting chariot!
The three elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion worked together seamlessly. When they saw the heavily injured Yu Zhenghai, they knew what the pavilion master was about to do. Without any hesitation, they unleashed their most powerful healing technique.
The decorative runes on the Coiling Dragon Staff scattered into energy and formed a huge circular area.
This was the Confucian School's Amplification Formation!
The three huge avatars expanded swiftly.
Lu Zhou pressed his fingers down. A blue lotus bloomed in his palm. With the support of the three avatars, this scene was far better than when he healed Conch back in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
The blue lotus descended from the skies.
Yu Zhenghai blinked. Before he died, a drop of water from Cloud Rage River fell on his glabella.
The drop of water was crystal clear and blocked his vision. The hazy blue lotus was exceptionally dazzling. When it fell, Yu Zhenghai lost consciousness.
