"It's the Hundred Ghosts of the Yellow Mountain!" Yuan Qianquan exclaimed in shock. "To summon the Hundred Ghosts, one needs thirty thousand fresh demons. To think that Li Xueyi would be willing to do this in order to take down Frost Leaf City!"
"No, that's not the main body. It should be the work of a lich." Huang Shouyi frowned and then cursed, "That thing that's neither human nor ghost nor monster is even worse than a beast. I don't know what's the point of living!"
Yuan Qianquan looked to his left and right at the walls. Although the allied army had been frightened by the evil ghost, they had not stopped fighting. After the Winged Demon came the elites of the Demon and Ghost armies, and the experts of the various Demon Sects slowly began to appear. He lowered his voice and asked, "Chief Elder, what do we do?"
Before he could get an answer, the monster whose upper body was enough to cover the entire Frost Leaf City let out a roar and pressed down with its gigantic palm that was as large as a mountain. The fierce gust of wind it generated first pushed dozens of guards off the city wall, and then they were drowned by the devil and ghost elites who came after them amidst their screams of despair.
Huang Shouyi took a step forward and stood in the sky. He was a genuine expert of the Divine Domain, so he could naturally fly. At the same time, he used his Qi Domain to plunder the star energy. His seals shifted, creating a Door of Profundity where the massive palm had to pass. "Call those two old things out to stretch their muscles."
Yuan Qianquan's mouth was still aching. He thought of the humiliation he had just suffered and sent a hateful message, "Then wouldn't we be indirectly helping Yan Shifang?"
The Door of Profundity swallowed the monster's massive palm. In a flash of blazing white light, the palm was instantly severed. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, even neater than a sword glow. Huang Shou Yi formed a hand seal and looked down coldly. His face was full of sternness. "Are you muddle-headed? That Yan brat is truly hateful, but the demons are our true enemies. Losing Frost Leaf City is the same as surrendering Chiyou. Do you know what losing Chiyou means? "
"I understand …" Yuan Qianquan hurriedly went to call for help.
The monster screamed and writhed in pain. The shockwave it created caused Frost Leaf City to tremble, like a hurricane destroying a flower bud. A human figure suddenly appeared on its shoulder. His entire body was covered in a grey robe, and his face could not be seen clearly. However, one could see the bloated muscles under the grey robe, and there was a faint murderous aura circulating around his body.
When Huang Shouyi saw this person, his face was filled with disdain. However, he knew that the real battle had just begun.
Sword light shot out from the blood cloud and then exploded. Yan Li jumped out from the cloud and landed lightly on a cyan-steel sword. He stood still and raised his head to look at the monster and the weirdo on the monster's shoulder. He was no longer a newcomer to the Jambu Realm. He knew that it wasn't a freak, or even a human. It wasn't a demon, ghost, Asura, or Rakshasa either. None of the known races in the Jambu Realm had a place for it. He was a lich from the Sky Witch Forest.
The liches appeared even earlier than the demons. Their initial state was that of a soul shadow that could be found everywhere in the Demonic World. They were formed from the vengeful spirits of the millions of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Beings and the dead cultivators. Li Hongzhuang's precious treasure, Xiaoxiao, had originally been a wandering soul shadow. After the soul shadow awakened its primordial seal, it would become an intelligent heroic soul — an existence between flesh and blood and a specter.
Heroic souls were tangible but shadowless. Only zhenqi could attack them. At this time, as long as the heroic soul succeeded in possession, it could become a lich. However, the conditions for possession were extremely harsh. Only one in ten thousand could become a heroic soul, and only one in a million could successfully possess a heroic soul.
After becoming a lich, they could cultivate. However, their cultivation was different from ordinary cultivators. They were called fiendish cultivators. They were innately close to the wandering fiendish qi of the world. They did not need to eat or drink. Just by relying on their fiendish qi, they could have a lifespan comparable to the Divine Domain. It was said that the founder of the Wilderness God Temple was a lich that had awakened its primordial seal and memories.
In truth, Yan Li was no stranger to the fiendish qi of a lich. This was because there was a tribe in the Divine Continent that imitated the cultivation of a lich. However, they called the fiendish qi the Power of Desolation. Moreover, their cultivation levels were exactly the same, divided into three stages: Vajra King Soul, Peacock King Soul, and Dragon Elephant King Soul.
Of course, the Desolate Man could not be compared to the lich. Initial liches all had the Vajra King Soul, but a single finger could crush the entire Desolate Man tribe.
Right now, Yan Li could boldly speculate that the Wilderness God Tower worshiped a lich from the Sky Demon Forest. Recently, he often thought of the Divine Continent and felt that it was a very mystical place, like a miniature version of the Jambu Realm.
"That is my friend, You Yan. You can see that he is already at the peak of the Peacock King Soul and can step into the Dragon Elephant King Soul at any time." Li Hongzhuang did not seem worried at all. "He is my trump card. If he had not been ordered to go to the Asura Realm back then, you would definitely have been torn to pieces by him."
Yan Li was a little surprised. "A person like you has friends?"
Li Hongzhuang frowned and said unhappily, "If you can have friends, why can't I?"
Yan Li said, "I'm afraid you are using other people's love. That is your strength."
Li Hongzhuang was not ashamed at all. "Beauty is a woman's capital. Of course, I have to make good use of it. Only those stupid women would use it to please men. Cut the crap. I will kill you first and take down Frost Leaf City. Let's see who can stop me then! "As she spoke, the maple tree materialized and the God Mirror appeared. More maple leaves than before surged toward Yan Li.
Yan Li drew his sword and slashed. The Taibai Sword Qi seemed to have the tendency to tear everything in the world apart. Whether Li Hongzhuang used a mystique or the God Mirror, it could all be torn apart.
"Taibai, too bad Bai Kongxue was not born in this era!" Li Hongzhuang was a little angry, but more so, she wanted to challenge. "I don't believe that I can't deal with you!" Her beautiful eyes turned and she suddenly laughed wildly. "Little thief, do you think that your flying technique is very clever? I have already thought of a way to break it. Let's see how you deal with it! " As she spoke, she stretched out her hand. Dozens of red damask shot out from the void and entangled the green steel swords floating in the air.
Yan Li understood what Li Hongzhuang was referring to at a glance. The corners of his mouth rose slightly. He let the other do as she pleased, not moving at all.
The red damask twisted and the green steel swords were broken into two. But what surprised Li Hongzhuang was that the broken swords did not fall as she had imagined. Instead, because of the increase in number, they were distributed more widely. She did not know that Yan Li had tampered with these green steel swords before he came. Each sword contained his sword spirit. As long as the sword spirit was there, no matter how many pieces the sword was broken, it would not escape his control.
Seeing that her trick was useless, her expression darkened. Finally, she could no longer suppress her violent temper and said word by word, "Are you really determined to go against me?" Yan Li said, "I should be the one saying that." Her expression was cold and she said emotionlessly, "Then don't blame me for not remembering our past relationship!"
Yan Li took out the Green Lotus Sword. He knew that the other party's test was over.
