Chapter 1278: Chapter 1108: Subdue and Execute

Bone Soul and Xue Yin trembled all over when they saw this scene, their eyes red as they frantically attacked the Spirit Vines and Giant Wood together, as if doing so could break it and carve a path for their escape.

But unfortunately, this prison, reinforced numerous times and infused with the Purification Principle, was incredibly tough!

Given their current state of physical damage and lack of Mana, how could they dismantle the meticulous traps set by Li Zhirui?

So when they saw their attacks hit the surface without even a ripple, their hearts were shrouded in despair.

“Gagaga!”

Bone Soul let out a cold laugh, suddenly regaining calm.

After all, they both emerged from the depths of the Demonic Tao, hacking their way to the top, experiencing countless life-and-death situations along the way, though momentarily panicked, they quickly regained composure.

“What a technique! Truly amazing technique! We lost fair and square! Except…”

Their eyes gleamed fiercely, shouting murderously: “It’s impossible for the two of us to surrender without a fight! Even if I die, I’ll take you with me!”

“If the two of you had united from the onset, you wouldn’t find yourselves under my control now. Alas, realization dawns too late!”

Li Zhirui sneered, a hint of sarcasm curling his lips, without any visible action, blasts of white light erupted from the demon cultivators, collapsing them to the ground.

A vast Power of Purification burst forth from the bodies of the demon cultivators, then under Li Zhirui’s control, transformed into a sharp sword that plunged into the Hundred Meetings Point, seizing the lives of the Loose Cultivators!

“You were too careless, I left so many wounds on you, and you didn’t notice anything amiss?”

Looking at the corpses, Li Zhirui sighed, truly he hadn’t expected these two to be so foolish.

Or perhaps in their intelligence reports, Li Zhirui was just a cultivator who had barely broken through to the Individual Immortal Realm, even after the Li family suddenly unveiled the Moon Serpent, the Demonic Tao believed the power of three could easily obliterate the Li family.

At first, it was arrogance, but having personally experienced Li Zhirui’s strength and realizing they were no match, they began planning their escape, naturally oblivious to the silent changes within their bodies.

Originally, this move was whimsical, merely intending to distract them.

Li Zhirui hadn’t pinned the outcome on this; after all, slightly cautious beings would constantly monitor themselves in battle to avoid unknowingly falling for traps.

Who could’ve thought these two were completely unaware.

In any case, it saved Li Zhirui considerable effort.

And with the fall of the Loose Cultivator demon cultivators, two significant surges of Spiritual Qi Reverting to Primal arose between heaven and earth.

The outcome of this battlefield naturally affected the situation of the Moon Serpent and Black Python.

Already being pressured by the Moon Serpent, Black Python knew better than to linger upon seeing this. Immediately, he attempted to escape using Secret Techniques to preserve his life.

But to his despair, a suddenly appearing thick ice wall blocked his path.

Though it held him off for only a few breaths, it was enough for the Moon Serpent to catch up and drag Black Python back into the battlefield.

“This is the end of me!”

The Moon Serpent could fight him to a stalemate alone, even gaining a slight advantage, now joined by another who’d killed two of the same realm’s Loose Cultivators, what chance did he stand?

Correctly predicting this, after Li Zhirui joined the battlefield, it took just a short while to dispatch the last Loose Cultivator demon cultivator.

Another surge of Spiritual Qi Reverting to Primal announced yet another demon cultivator in the Individual Immortal Realm’s death.

As for those lucky ones who hadn’t perished in the traps, the Mortal Realm demon cultivators were swiftly finished off or had fled under the joint assault of the clansmen.

Glancing around, of the one to two thousand demon cultivators that had previously charged, fewer than twenty had managed to escape!

“Oh!”

“Ancestor Rui is mighty! Spirit Ancestors are mighty!”

Accompanied by Spiritual Qi Reverting to Primal, cheers of the clansmen rang out through the heavens and earth, they had wiped out the demon cultivators, resolving the clan’s crisis and elevating the clan’s prestige.

After such a battle, surely the fools of Shanhai State, the loose cultivators ignorant of life and death, will quiet down and not dare to make any petty moves.

For Li Zhirui, more importantly, he had resolved the threat of two Half Scattered Immortal Realm demon cultivators, presumably neutralizing a significant amount of Catastrophic Qi.

Facing the jubilant clansmen, despite his worries, Li Zhirui did not voice them to dampen the spirits.

After all, despite some demon cultivators escaping during this battle, their reports upon return would certainly reveal the family’s strength, and upon knowing the Li family’s power, if there were subsequent actions by the Demonic Tao, it would likely entail far more than a mere one to two thousand demon cultivators!

But for now, since everyone is happy, let the clansmen relax momentarily and caution them come tomorrow.

The next day.

Li Zhirui’s voice once again enveloped Mount Wanxian, solemnly stating: “This great victory owes much to the clan’s unity, but the Demonic Tao cannot be underestimated; those who escaped will undoubtedly reveal the family’s strength.”

“Moreover, the Demonic Tao may not be willing to abandon their conquest of Shanhai State, using it as a base for better dealing with the southern Cave Abyss Sect, so all mustn’t be too pleased, neglecting vigilance against the surrounding areas for fear of a demon army arriving quietly!”

Li Zhirui’s calm and serious voice, like a basin of ice water, instantly sobered the still excited clansmen.

“Ancestor Rui speaks the truth! We were growing arrogant, nearly bringing disaster upon the family!”
