Chapter 397: Chapter 169: Scholars, Warriors, Loyalty, Treachery, Heroes, Villains, Life and Death!

Indeed...

When Tantai Xianming saw Li Guanyi appear and charge over with the Battle Halberd, he had already deduced the outcome, why he appeared at the Qilin Palace, why there was a strategist behind him, why he was connected to the Xue Family, and why he wanted to kill Emperor Chen’s illegitimate son, Chen Dingye.

All of this was originally disjointed.

However, when Li Guanyi appeared, Tantai Xianming guessed the last piece of the puzzle and the connection in all these matters, that is, if the young man before him was Li Wanli’s son, then everything could be explained.

Even so, when the young man himself said it, Tantai Xianming still felt a moment of daze; he almost instinctively raised his hand, grabbed the dark gold handle of the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd, and what flickered before his eyes was a vision of another young man, long long ago.

"Sir, hello, my name is Li Wanli."

Clenching the halberd tightly, the memory of that blurred young man seemed to overlap with the person before him, and in the next moment, the Divine Weapon, Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd, burst out a deep tiger roar, shaking Tantai Xianming’s hand off.

This halberd is spirit-possessed, only the righteous and heroic can wield it.

Li Guanyi suddenly retreated, the edge of the halberd ripping through flesh, and with his right hand holding the Divine Weapon, he slid his left to draw a sword. Initially, he was to draw the matching sword of the Imperial Guard, but he paused and instead unsheathed the lethal and exceptionally sharp Qiushui Sword from his waist.

Behind him, the void stirred, and both the Red Dragon and White Tiger appeared, their roars rising simultaneously.

The poison blood was forced open, sending layers of intense ripples spreading.

Red glow circulated on the surface of the sword, while dark aura streamed violently over the Battle Halberd.

Li Guanyi unleashed his utmost ferocity.

There was no need for a second word.

All the hatred was laid out in that one sentence!

It was time to fight to the death!

[Wave-Rolling][Mountain Shattering][Mountain Breaking]!

[Overlord’s Ultimate Skills][Red Emperor Sword Shadow]!

Amidst the sounds of Dragon Roar and Tiger Shout, energy waves surged wildly, slashing throats, piercing hearts, breaking points, every move aimed to kill, until the final sweep of the sword and halberd left Tantai Xianming breathless, heavily falling into the Poison Blood Pool.

The essence of the world’s most peculiar poison, Fei, flooded into his body from all around.

The vitality of Tantai Xianming completely vanished.

Li Guanyi was already drained.

Hip, shoulders, waist, and thighs all bore varying degrees of tearing pain.

It was evident from his level of exertion.

He could barely hold onto the Qiushui Sword and Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd, his hands trembling uncontrollably from excess force, standing there, with the poison blood continuously trying to invade his body, yet the potent toxins had just seeped into him and were shattered before they could erode further.

In Li Guanyi’s abdomen was the newly reassembled "Eternal Moon Undying Body" Golden Core.

It burst forth layer upon layer of warmth.

Constantly resisting those potent poisons.

You corrode a layer of blood and Qi Mechanism, the Golden Core rotates and replenishes a layer.

Even Hou Zhongyu’s direct attack with the Qilin Fire could be resisted by such mysterious Divine Skill. If it were in an opponent, it would be so infuriating to make one gnash their teeth, but now in his own body, it was the greatest support. If not for this, Li Guanyi himself would have been eroded by the poison, tainted further.

He fought with all his might, reducing Tantai Xianming to tatters, and then immediately went to check on Yue Pengwu. As soon as he touched him, the heat almost caused Li Guanyi to instantly lift his hand away. He looked at the Divine General before him.

The Inner Qi around Yue Pengwu’s body, his meridians had shifted. The violent poison of Fei, like an angry dragon, rampaged through his body, his heart beginning to crystallize; the Blood Poison of Fei came from an Ancient Strange Beast that the Red Emperor personally led his Divine Generals to annihilate eight hundred years ago.

In a strict sense, this was no poison.

It was the blood of ancient creatures like Fei, whose intense transformative power, for humans, was as fatal as catastrophe; Yue Pengwu’s heart was continuously eroded by this blood poison, transforming into the state of an Ancient Strange Beast, which represented a calamitous existence.

His vitality was about to vanish.

Yue Pengwu leaned against the wall, the chained long spear lay beside him.

The Divine General’s face was marked with black trace of the rampant poison, one could imagine the intense pain he was suffering, yet his eyes were calm, staring at Li Guanyi, he said:

"Are you the son of the Great General?"

The Frost Battle Halberd in Li Guanyi’s hand returned to its original form, but this high-quality weapon now bore small cracks, clearly showing that even partial bearing of the Divine Weapon’s power was a tremendous burden on this weapon.

Li Guanyi nodded, he crouched slightly, pressing on Yue Pengwu’s wrist, trying to find a way to contain this violent poison, but the poison that Li Guanyi had endured himself was not of the "Heart’s Blood" level, and secondly, it was his mother who had borne most of it for him.

Suddenly, intense footsteps resounded from outside; Li Guanyi gripped his weapon and turned his head to look.

The one who rushed in was Yan Xuanji, who had followed the trail left by Li Guanyi.

He did not understand the Formation, but as a veteran of the battlefield, tracking skills, honed through repeated life-and-death situations, are essential for survival, absolutely unforgettable, he doggedly followed the traces left by Li Guanyi all the way here.

His body covered in blood, his Qi surging, his blood energy rose and turned into white steam. He entered and saw both Yue Pengwu and Li Guanyi in an instant, first he sighed in relief, then noticing the changes in Yue Pengwu, his expression drastically changed, and he hurried forward, bending down to support him, saying:
