In the next instant, six Yin souls formed an array, blocking the front.
Qilian Guanshi hadn't forgotten the battle at Cuiqing City, how Li Fei turned the tide.
He wouldn't make the same mistake, so he kept most of his power focused on 'grinding down' Li Fei, using only Yin souls to block the White Flame Army.
Without sufficient support of power, among the six Yin souls, except for the one transformed by Ming River Ancestor, the other five were entangled by White Flame, their soul bodies gradually ignited and transformed.
If Qilian Guanshi didn't redirect his power, the five powerful Yin souls he painstakingly refined would be completely destroyed!
Yet he remained unwavering.
Even if all his Yin souls were destroyed, he must first kill Li Fei!
On the dim sky dome, golden light suddenly appeared.
Mountains and rivers stretching for thousands of miles, countless beings... various illusions emerged.
Another wave of national fortune descended, empowering the White Flame Army!
The portion of national fortune bestowed on Li Fei was currently devouring the Grassland Country Fate, and if it continued, it would further enhance the devouring.
Therefore, Qin Ziheng chose to empower the White Flame Army instead.
As the Grassland Country Fate was being devoured at this moment, the defense provided by national fortune had fallen to its lowest, so the Great Lan Country Fortune once again completed its invasion!
Receiving the national fortune empowerment, the White Flame Dragon instantly erupted, breaking the Six Paths Reincarnation Formation.
Zuo Jun did not target the Life and Death Grinding Disc on the Divine Mountain, but aimed at another spot.
Through the earlier engagement, he had locked onto the location of Qilian Guanshi's main body.
Now, strike where he must be rescued!
Qilian Guanshi looked bitterly at the figure suppressed by the Life and Death Grinding Disc.
This person, why can't he be killed?!!!
In the instant when the White Flame Dragon was about to strike, he had no choice but to retract his power to defend.
The retracted power of reincarnation formed a barrier, creating its own realm, with the Nether River flowing ceaselessly behind it.
Even if one breaks through 'reincarnation', they must still undergo the baptism of 'Forget River' before they can touch Qilian Guanshi.
The White Flame Dragon broke through 'reincarnation', but under the influence of [Forget River], its momentum was halted.
Before Qilian Guanshi could redeploy the reincarnation power to defend, a streak of purple flame suddenly rose from below.
This flame was like a startling nightingale rising from Hell, carrying boundless killing intent and evil Qi towards Qilian Guanshi!
When it touched the Nether River, the impressively striking purple flame, dreamlike and ethereal, directly penetrated the billowing Nether River, disregarding the peak level defense, heading straight for Qilian Guanshi!
This is — [Infinite Killing Path]!
Below peak level, any defense can be directly ignored.
Against Dao Level defenses, as long as the power gap isn't overly large, it can ignore at least once.
This is the trump card of the world's number one assassin!
'Demon Spear' Tian Youpeng, attacks!
No one knows when this assassin infiltrated Mingdu City.
Perhaps he sneaked in during Li Fei's first breakthrough of the City Defense Array.
Or maybe he came along during the second breach by the White Flame Army.
In any case, the world's number one assassin chose the best moment to strike!
Qilian Guanshi had two layers of Dao Level defenses set for himself, first broken by the White Flame Army and now ignored by Tian Youpeng with [Infinite Killing Path].
Buzz—!!!
Like striking a golden bell, the sound shook the universe.
The purple flame dissipated, revealing a spear over a yard long.
On the spear shaft, numerous purple runes were engraved, emitting an eerie glow, making the spear seem alive.
But this 'Demon Spear' ultimately didn't pierce Qilian Guanshi.
A white Prayer Wheel blocked between it and Qilian Guanshi.
The spear tip pierced into the Prayer Wheel, causing cracks to spread outward.
Qilian Guanshi's lifebound magical treasure shielded him from this lethal strike.
"Pfft—"
Qilian Guanshi behind spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Zuo Jun reacted quickly, immediately directing the White Flame Dragon to attack.
He didn't foresee Tian Youpeng coming.
In fact, in Da Lan Dynasty's battle plan, they indeed anticipated 'Demon Spear' Tian Youpeng might make a move, but they never counted him as part of their assets.
It's certainly favorable he made a move; even if he hadn't, Da Lan Dynasty would still win!
Looking now, 'Demon Spear' Tian Youpeng indeed viewed Qilian Guanshi as the best assassination target.
The White Flame Dragon collided with the [Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture Tube], igniting it completely!
At the same time, a power of faith erupted from within the [Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture Tube]!
Qilian Guanshi had always stored a power of faith in his lifebound magical treasure as a last resort to preserve his life.
In the battle at Cuiqing City, he didn't use it.
While grinding down Li Fei moments ago, he didn't use it.
Until now, he used his final means—
The power of faith instantly extinguished the White Flame, soared backwards, crashing into the void with Qilian Guanshi.
A Nether River flowed within, swiftly ferrying Qilian Guanshi across space, disappearing from sight.
Besides the power of faith, he had always left a Nether River in the void to ready him for withdrawal at any time.
Swoosh—
Just as Ming River Ancestor was about to vanish into the void, a figure had already grasped the 'Demon Spear', transforming into purple flames and rushing into the void.
The 'Demon Spear' Tian Youpeng, relentlessly in pursuit!
The White Flame Dragon remained in place, for it lacked the ability to traverse the void.
Li Fei, just having broken free from the Life and Death Grinding Disc's suppression, did not chase after, as the National Fortune Golden Dragon clinging to him was still devouring the Grassland Country Fate, preventing him from departing for the moment.
"..."
Suddenly, an absolute silence enveloped the surroundings.
The Grassland warriors were momentarily unable to accept the outcome——
Their leader had abandoned the Divine Mountain, forsaken the Grassland Royal City!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The sound of bricks being crushed broke the silence.
Li Fei stepped on the ruins of the Temple, moving step by step to the edge of the cliff, gazing down at the Royal City below.
Thousands of household lights, everywhere adorned with scripture banners and prayer wheels.
Over the past century, Qilian Guanshi had watched the scenery below just like this.
"From now on.... he will never see it again."
Li Fei suddenly stomped his foot.
Bang! Boom!
Boom rumble——
The mountain cracked, boulders fell, dust surged.
The absolute, clashing forces from earlier had already completely shattered the mountain's interior.
Now, with Li Fei's heavy stomp, the entire Divine Mountain collapsed!
"Today——"
The voice of Great Lan's Marquis Jing'an overshadowed the sound of the collapsing Divine Mountain, echoing like thunder throughout Mingdu City:
"You are all destined to perish as a nation!!!"
Under the Sky Dome, dust soared, and the city was filled with cries——
Golden Dragon devours White Elephant!
...
Lanling City.
Imperial Palace.
Ye Ze'an immediately bowed to Qin Ziheng.
As Grand Secretary, he could see the Emperor without bowing, yet such a gesture during his tenure as Grand Secretary, was counted on the fingers of one hand.
But at this moment, he felt the occasion warranted such a courtesy:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Qin Ziheng held the steaming Imperial Jade Seal, his expression somewhat dazed.
Once, on the train heading to the Capital, he had openly shared his ambition with Li Fei and Ming Qi——
To truly unify the world, to become the greatest Emperor the Da Lan Dynasty had ever seen!
He once forgot his ambition, once believed it was an unreachable goal.
But now...
Subduing the Northern Barbarians, annexing the Southern Desert, consuming the Grasslands, everything seemed within reach!
Golden sunlight streamed through the window into the Imperial Study Room.
The young Emperor raised his head, reclaiming his ambition——
The Da Lan Dynasty must be the ruler of the world!
