Chapter 1279: Chapter 1108: Execution_2

Li Yunchang led the Elders in loud response, bowing in unison.

“Communicate more with the Fengxi Clan, in the next great battle against the Demon Cultivators, we might need them to take action.”

After speaking, Li Zhirui’s voice ceased.

“Alas!”

Seated in the Cave Mansion, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but sigh; he had grown too fast, the family couldn’t keep up, resulting in this situation where they had to join forces with vassals.

No choice, Li Zhirui now only hoped that after the great catastrophe, the family could produce a few Individual Immortals, thereby greatly alleviating the pressure on the family and himself.

But that’s something for the future; the upcoming predicaments have yet to be resolved, why think so far ahead?

Li Zhirui shook his head, cleared his mind of many distractions, and closed his eyes to begin cultivation.

Though in the midst of a catastrophe, his cultivation never ceased; truly racing against time to enhance his power!

Even when the world was shrouded in Catastrophic Qi and Evil Qi, enveloped, even the Laws and Spiritual Energy were affected!

Although the Spiritual Energy’s quantity was very low, absorbing too much would cause Catastrophic Qi and Evil Qi to precipitate and accumulate within, requiring considerable time to purge.

Moreover, the Laws were obscured by Evil Qi and Catastrophic Qi, becoming more vague, harder to comprehend.

Thus, generally speaking, after a catastrophe breaks out, the already bumpy and tortuous path of cultivation becomes even more difficult, prompting many cultivators to give up.

But there are still some who won’t give up, or cannot give up!

Li Zhirui, Jiang Fengwu and such people will not give up; they seize every moment to improve themselves.

Like those beings nearing their end, cannot give up, even though the possibility of a breakthrough in cultivation is extremely slight, it remains one of their few hopes.

Two flowers bloom, one branch shown respectively.

Meanwhile, that group of Demon Cultivators who had exhausted all means, fled back in disarray to the west of Cave Abyss State, having been completely taken by Demonic Tao in less than a day, the Four Vehicles State.

Those Demon Cultivators who escaped alive mostly came from remarkable backgrounds, either true disciples of sects or direct lineages of families.

For only they would possess numerous lifesaving Spiritual Objects.

Yet these normally self-important Demon Cultivators, now disregarded any sense of dignity, with hair disheveled, clothes in tatters, if not for the Jade Tokens hanging from their waists, they might have been slain by other passing Demon Cultivators.

“Why are you in such a state?” a Human Immortal Demon Cultivator asked with furrowed brows.

“Ancestor, that Li family from the northern Shanhai State is remarkably strong. Three Individual Immortals were all slain; ultimately, it’s likely only us who escaped.”

“Li family?”

The Human Immortal pondered slightly before recalling that Li family to the north, saying: “It’s merely a fortunate clan, how could they cause you such disgrace?”

“Ancestor, we don’t know how those three ancestors perished either, but the phenomenon of Spiritual Qi Reverting to Primal truly appeared; we definitely didn’t see wrong.”

“It seems we underestimated Li family’s strength.”

The Human Immortal bowed his head, silent for a moment, eventually saying: “To us, the Li family is merely an ant. Crushing them is easy, but now the situation is tense; there’s no manpower to spare for resolving the Li family.”

Now’s the time for the conflict with Cave Abyss Sect, these Demon Cultivators are but a part of the Demonic Tao; they don’t have nearly enough manpower, nor the strength, attempt defeating two foes.

Even if one of the ‘two’ is weak, typically disregarded by them, but now they must relent.

Those Demon Cultivators who returned were naturally furious, secretly resenting this individual for not avenging their forces and themselves.

But they are helpless, if they act rashly, they would merely add another hide to Li family; they must endure.

——

“Quick! Hurry! Be careful!”

On the chaotic battlefield, a calm shout awakened many, prompting them to begin action.

“Treat the Water Devils as before; this time is no different, absolutely don’t let them snatch Wanling Island from us.”

“Yes!”

The Li family cultivators of Wanling Island looked at the imposing group of tens of thousands of Water Devils. But this was just the start; more waves followed, clearly there were many more Water Devils, their hearts sank.

Too many!

There are far too many Water Devils!

This beast tide launched by the Sea Clan, concerning other places, Li family is clueless, but just in the sea domain controlled by Li family, the count of Water Devils far exceeded regular days.

“Ancestor Xuan, there are too many Water Devils; even if all clan members on the island rotated through completely, it might not be able to stop them.” The Elder in charge of Wanling Island affairs said, face full of panic.

Li Zhixuan nodded indifferently and coldly, saying: “Go write a plea for help; until then, I will guard Wanling Island, preventing those Devil Beasts from breaking through.”

“Kill!”

Li Zhixuan said nothing further; to her, everything else is illusory, only battle is real!

So when the Water Devils came within attack range, she swung the Mysterious Sword, transforming into a line of Sword Qi that did not dissipate.

“Cross this line without permission, certain death awaits!”

Li Zhixuan’s killing aura-laden icy voice reached the ears of many Water Devils.

For a moment, the Water Devils harbored mixed thoughts.

You must know, a large portion of them were coerced here, not by their own will.

“What if I cross, what will you do?” An extremely arrogant voice rang out, the tone alone revealed arrogance and wantonness.

“Then die for me!”

Before the words finished, a streak of black light fiercely sliced toward a certain sea area.

“Cough, cough, you dare harm me?”

The wanton cried furiously: “I must ask the clan’s ancestor to obliterate you, scoundrel!”

If not for sufficient lifesaving Spiritual Objects on it, that one strike, even if it couldn’t take its life, would suffice to severely injure the yet-unseen Water Devil!

“Humph!”

Li Zhixuan sneered disdainfully.

“You dare look down on me?” The voice roared again: “Everyone charge, target Wanling Island, capture this reckless Sword Cultivator, I want her to suffer thoroughly, make her know who is not to be provoked!”

The great battle erupted instantly.

Li Zhixuan’s face darkened, the line of Sword Qi floating on the sea surface suddenly exploded like an uncontrollable jar.

Rumble——

The power generated by the Sword Qi caused monstrous waves in the ocean, even Water Devils born in the sea perished under such terrifying heavenly might.

For this single move, it buried over a hundred thousand Water Devils!

Such fearsome means instantly intimidated the other Water Devils; for a while, none dared advance.

“Attack! Kill her!”

The sharp, hate-filled voice sounded once more, accompanied by a peculiar strange sound.

Then the clan members on the island saw that group of stunned Water Devils’ eyes turn red, charging toward Wanling Island.

If initially, when the Water Devils attacked, the clan members felt panic, witnessing this scene may have hesitated, but with Li Zhixuan’s actions greatly boosting their confidence, how could they bear to give up Wanling Island?

“With Ancestor Xuan here to guard, Wanling Island will definitely suffer no loss!” A shout from a clan member drew everyone’s agreement, morale soared!

In the depths of Wanling Island’s internal hall, someone then spoke similar words.

“Moreover, we have Ancestor Xuan stationed, her formidable strength must be known to everyone; with her present, Wanling Island won’t fall!”

“Even so, why are we yet to act? Why do we stand by watching other clan members without aiding them?”

“This is Ancestor Xuan’s instruction, we must remain as a reserve force, acting only when the situation turns favorable or when Spirit Island faces the threat of falling.”

Leading Li Xianxun spoke gravely: “So everyone, please wait patiently.”
