If this bloody mouth was only the size of an ordinary one, it would not be so frightening. However, it seemed to be connected to an evil abyss. As it gradually expanded, it had completely exceeded the limit that Shen Tun's body could withstand. Therefore, it continued to split the void on both sides. It looked like a giant mouth that could swallow the heavens and the earth had suddenly appeared in the void.
Li Kuyuan was about to draw his sword, but after taking a look at the abyss, he somehow kept his sword and grabbed Bai Xing to retreat. In the next moment, a deep pit the size of a pond was bitten out where he originally stood. The huge mouth slowly closed, and one could almost hear the "ka ka" chewing sound, followed by the "gulp" sound of swallowing.
Shen Tun's body returned to normal. Although his stomach was round, he was born that way. No one knew where the land he swallowed went.
"Could it be that this monster's stomach is connected to the end of the world?" Zhuang Kuoting frowned.
Zhang Jingfu said, "Why think so much, Sir Zhuang. It is enough to know that the Fengtian Sect is temporarily an ally. Even if we have to deal with the Fengtian Sect in the future, there is no need to be in such a hurry to collect information."
"Sir Zhang, haven't you heard of this saying? Preparedness ensures success, unpreparedness ensures failure." Zhuang Kuoting said lightly, "I have been in charge of secrets for His Majesty for many years, so I have developed the habit of preparing for a rainy day. I am not 'thinking too much'."
Zhang Jingfu smiled, "It seems that Sir Zhuang is looking at this war with the determination to win."
"Sir Zhang, are you not?" Zhuang Kuoting said.
"Sir Zhuang, haven't you heard of this saying? Going too far is as bad as falling short. Excessive and blind confidence will only lead to disastrous failure." Zhang Jingfu said, "To win this war, we must clearly recognize the difference in strength between the two sides. I might as well say that without the participation of the Fengtian Sect, we will definitely lose this war."
Zhuang Kuoting knew this was the truth, but the knot in his heart was getting bigger and bigger. He could not help but say seriously, "Those who die for the dynasty will never think about the consequences of failure. If we do not have the belief that we will live and die with the dynasty, we are not worthy to be called an official!"
Zhang Jingfu shook his head and gave up on the idea of continuing the debate. He said, "Sir Zhuang, the guests from Lihen Heaven have also arrived. Let's focus on dealing with them."
Zhuang Kuoting looked into the distance and saw an army appear on the horizon. It was a black mass, and the sound of killing shook the heavens as they swarmed over like locusts. Both of their cultivations were extraordinary, and their eyesight was enhanced by divine arts, which was why they could see so clearly. Only the elite divine archers could vaguely see a little.
"Light up!" The leader of the archers made a prompt decision and gave the order.
Swish swish swish!
Hundreds and thousands of fire arrows were shot out and exploded in the air. The fire stones that burned for a long time sputtered in all directions like meteors. But they were very light, and after losing the thrust, they slowly floated down like paper. In an instant, it was as if thousands of lamps had been lit, and the little drops made a mickle, turning into a light that could not be underestimated. It illuminated the earth, and the surging army of Lihen Heaven was clearly visible.
Xiu!
Just as the lights were turned on, a siege crossbow that was as thick as an iron barrel let out a mournful piercing sound as it pierced straight into Zheng De Gate. More than half of the crossbow's body was submerged inside, and then it exploded with a loud bang, creating a huge gap in Zheng De Gate.
Zhuang Kuoting no longer hesitated and gave several orders.
Thousands of silver stars were shot out from the window of the third floor, piercing through the first wave of enemies that rushed up the slope. Their bodies tumbled down, and the enemies behind them fell.
On the side of Lihen Heaven, the second, third, fourth, and fifth siege crossbows were shot out.
"Don't you dare!" Zhuang Kuoting made a seal, and a golden cover appeared in front of Zheng De Gate. It seemed to be similar to the Iron Wall Golden Bell Cover of the Iron Wall Sect, except that the color of the cover was darker, and it shone with golden light.
Rotten.
Clang clang clang clang!
The four crossbows were all blocked, and as if they were countered, they turned around and shot back where they came from. The army of Lihen Heaven was in chaos in an instant. More than a dozen large crossbows were destroyed, and hundreds of people were killed.
"All hail Lord Zhuang!"
The defending army was greatly inspired, and the God-Slaying Crossbows on the first floor and the Divine Cannons on the second floor were all ready to be fired at the command of the leader.
Although the Divine Cannons were replicas, each shell was equivalent to the weight of a drop of Spiritual Aether, and when it exploded in the crowd, it could directly cause a large number of casualties.
Boom!
The sound of the shells officially opened the prelude to the slaughter.
Among the messy army of Lihen Heaven, dozens of masters dashed out, and their movements were extremely fast. But all of a sudden, these masters all fell backward, and blood spurted out from their chests. Then it became clear that they had been pierced by a crossbow bolt.
The God-Slaying Crossbow was much smaller than the siege crossbows of Lihen Heaven, but it specialized in taking the lives of the enemy's masters. Dozens of masters were shot to death by this crossbow, and they only felt a slight pain before they died, which showed how fast the God-Slaying Crossbow was.
The strong counterattack of the Dragon Emperor's side forced the army of Lihen Heaven to retreat several miles to hide behind the horizon, a distance where the Divine Cannons and God-Slaying Crossbows could not reach. They seemed to know that attacking by force would not be of any use, and were preparing to regroup, waiting for an opportunity.
Zhuang Kuoting secretly regretted that if he could open the gate at this time, he would only need to send an elite cavalry, and the morale of the enemy would drop to the bottom, and then he would release the Martial Dragon Chariot to finish them off. It would be much easier than simply defending. But at the end of the day, this was still a war of cultivators, and there would be too many unexpected variables. When Zhuang Kuoting thought of this, he could not help but look at the other battlefield of cultivators.
Li Ku and Bai Xing were fighting against two Followers of Heaven, and it was a one-sided situation. Although the two Followers of Heaven had immortal bodies, no matter what method they used, they could not hurt each other.
Zhang Jingfu said, "Lord Zhuang, you go down and help them, I will watch over here."
"Very well, then I will leave it to Lord Zhang." Zhuang Kuoting nodded, and with a light tap of his foot, he floated out, as if walking down a flight of stairs in the void. He reached out and pushed out a shining palm, and a golden light shot towards Li Ku.
Li Ku turned his head slightly, and the golden light shattered, and then turned into nothingness. "You dare to come out, you really do not fear death."
"Rebel, when did I ever fear you!" Zhuang Kuoting landed on the ground, and opened his hands. A golden light expanded in each of his palms, and a golden halo also appeared on the soles of his feet. Then, he put his palms together, and the two golden lights merged into one. His right hand clenched into a fist, and the golden light shrunk, leaving only a thin layer of cloud outside his fist. But this thin cloud was like a wild beast that wanted to get out of its cage, and it was bulging and moving.
"Divine Seat, Mountain Splitting Fist!" Following a shout that sounded like a heavenly sound, golden light surged. In that instant, the fist already arrived in front of Li Ku's face.
Li Ku released a sneer. With a twist of his wrist, the old flute instantly turned into a sword, gently blocking it. The golden fist force couldn't find a way to vent out, instead pouring out in torrents, as if a bucket of golden paint was splashed on a transparent stone wall.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the fist force and formless sword intent already clashed more than ten thousand times.
Right at this time, the earth beneath Li Ku's feet suddenly began to twist like a soft mist. His line of sight quickly shifted downwards. "Oh?" In just a single thought, the great earth actually turned into a rope, binding him up. The fist force immediately seized the advantage, destroying the sword intent, smashing into his body.
Peng!
Li Ku's entire body was smashed flying outwards. There seemed to be blood that splashed out, and then he fell onto the ground like a broken puppet. The ground began to twist again, binding him up.
"Li Ku, your time of death has come!" Huang Shaoyu slowly emerged from the earth, saying hatefully, "Today, you will die under the 'Earth Fiend Art', to comfort my father's soul in heaven!" As soon as he finished speaking, two more people appeared on the other two sides. Needless to say, they were Ji Hyun-woon and Yu Qiuyu.
"Jiejiejie …" Fu Jian was just thinking about how to deal with this Li Ku when this dramatic scene suddenly appeared. He laughed strangely, stopping Shen Tun who was about to rush up to attack Bai Xing, hinting for him to watch the show with him first. Shen Tun didn't know what he meant by watching a show either, only knowing that Fu Jian treated him well, so he had to listen to him.
Zhuang Kuoting retracted his fist, the divine light receding. His brows furrowed deeply, truly unable to understand what the Yan Alliance's people were doing. He feared that this was a trap, backing up a bit.
"Don't worry, these three indeed have a deep grudge against Li Ku." Zhang Jingfu said while stroking his beard with a smile.
Zhuang Kuoting raised his head, not saying anything.
Li Ku was bound by the earth, only his head sticking out, looking like he had lost the ability to resist. His face seemed to be completely wrinkled from pain, making him look increasingly old. "To comfort the dead …" He muttered. "But have you all prepared?"
Huang Shaoyu stared blankly, saying, "I've already locked you up, you're dead for sure. What else do you need to prepare?"
"Don't waste words with him, attack!" Ji Hyun-woon's eyes displayed different colors, this was the reflection of the two types of power in her eyes when she operated the ice and fire to the extreme. Soon after, half of her body surged with flames, the other half surging with frost. "Li Ku, this is this king's most powerful fist to date, specially trained for you!" She fiercely charged at Li Ku, a long pair of ice and fire wings behind her. With a flap of the wings, her figure turned into a streak of lightning.
"Overlord Lifting the Cauldron!"
In the blink of an eye, the ice and fire dual-colored divine radiance instantly closed in from several dozen zhang away, smashing into Li Ku's body. The earth ropes binding Li Ku's body collapsed at a visible rate. His body was also smashed into the sky, his body visibly warping under the terrifying power, to the extent where one could even hear the ka ka sounds of bones fracturing.
"Life has ten hardships …" However, there was a mysterious aura that appeared in his surroundings.
"Flying Waterfall!" Yu Qiuyu looked at Li Ku who was like a kite with its string cut, recalling his childhood experiences. If it wasn't for Huang Batian, he would still be in a wolf's den. This grudge and hatred had never been forgotten, which was why as soon as Ji Hyun-woon sent him a message, he immediately came to the lower realms without telling his master. He was just like many others, believing that revenge was his own matter, unrelated to his master.
This' Flying Waterfall 'was the smoothest he had ever used in his entire life. He sensed the limits of the world, that when destruction reached a certain degree, there would already be no more changes. He was going to use this sword to turn Li Ku into scattered ashes, to comfort the dead's soul in heaven.
Revenge never needed too many excuses, but revenge was something that couldn't be obtained from anything.
"Living bitterness …" Li Ku's wrinkled face suddenly recovered, his body also returning to normal under a wave of pi li pa la sounds. In his eyes that were full of endless coldness, there was no warmth to be seen, only an 'if you want to kill me, then I'll kill you' attitude. The old flute pointed out lightly.
When Yu Qiuyu saw this movement, he immediately knew that he was going to die. However, he didn't die, the one who died was orange clothed. She had unknowingly when hidden at his side, but at this moment, she suddenly rushed out to stop him.
There wasn't any time to leave behind any last words. The orange clothed only left behind a final gaze filled with longing, and then her body exploded into a sky full of bloody suds. The blood of the one he loved splashed onto his face, roasting Yu Qiuyu's soul.
Li Ku floated down to the ground, calmly saying, "What else is there to prepare? Let me tell you all that you have to prepare yourselves for not being able to get revenge, that you have to pay an even greater price. "
