The First Demon of the Chan Sect
Chapter 374 - 62: Breaking the Deadlock

Chapter 374: Chapter 62: Breaking the Deadlock

A large group of tribute masters clad in various Daoist robes were howling wildly, their magic treasures flashing with splendid and bizarre auras.

Luo He, lying on the ground, recognized the leading Tribute Pavilion Master Yun Hu and exclaimed joyfully, "Guang Cheng Ancestor, General Li Jing. They are our Human Clan’s Tribute Pavilion masters! The strong ones of our clan have arrived!"

Looking at the small valley littered with corpses and those black-clothed demon slaves fighting with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Yun Hu immediately felt a surge of rage.

"Kill, exterminate these demons, and avenge our clansmen!" He roared ferociously, raising the Three-foot Green Peak in his hand and charging into the fray.

"Kill them!"

The tribute masters immediately boiled with blood, roaring and flashing the dazzling brilliance of their magic treasures as they madly rushed towards the black-clothed demon slaves.

The entire small valley shone with the radiance of treasures, and the rumbling shook the sky. The battlefield’s situation quickly turned dire, becoming a one-sided slaughter of demon slaves by the Heavenly Court soldiers and Human Clan tribute masters.

In just two hours, all the demon slaves except for Xiao Tian were slaughtered to extinction. The pungent smell of blood and the soaring stench of death in the valley could be felt even thousands of miles away.

Xiao Tian, staggering to his feet from the ground, looked guiltily towards the direction of West Niu Hezhou and roared to the sky, "Master, Xiao Tian is foolish and failed to complete the task you gave. I have also led tens of thousands of elite demon slaves from the Yin Yang Realm to shatter to pieces. Xiao Tian deserves death a thousand times over for not absolving this fault. Today, I wish to atone with my death, Master take care!"

Saying this, Xiao Tian’s body, eighty-odd Zhang in height, began to swell again like an inflating balloon, bigger and bigger... An unmatched surge of terrifying energy madly spread out in all directions.

"Not good! This guy wants to self-destruct!" Li Jing’s expression drastically changed: "Quickly get out of the way, this guy is a strong Taiyi Golden Immortal who specializes in the Power of Destruction Laws. His self-destruction will surely be earth-shattering and not easily resisted, everyone move away quickly!"

"Damn it, he’s really crazy!" Guang Chengzi muttered in a low voice, he didn’t expect this guy to be so persistent.

"Hmph, useless! You can’t even handle such a small matter, what use do I have for you!" Suddenly, a voice echoed above the small valley. It was followed by an extremely terrifying pressuring force of destruction.

Xiao Tian heard these words, and his rapidly inflating body suddenly stalled, his surprise mixed with a rich sense of guilt, "Master..."

A young man in black robes appeared out of thin air above the small valley. His face was sullen, and his cold eyes showed no hint of emotional fluctuation.

Luo He looked up at the figure in the sky and said coldly, "Li Qianqiu!"

Yes, the person who came was Li Qianqiu.

Originally, while Zhunti and Li Qingming were battling, Xiao Di had brought Eye Spirit to Big Black Mountain in the Yin Yang Realm. They recounted the matter to Li Qianqiu in detail.

The death of those demon slaves was just death, but Xiao Tian was his direct subordinate no matter what. During the most difficult times, it was Xiao Tian and Xiao Di, the brothers, who stayed by his side, and he would never watch Xiao Tian go to his death.

So he appeared, he had to save this loyally devoted subordinate.

Hearing someone calling his name, Li Qianqiu coldly turned his head to look at Luo He, a sudden smirk of mockery formed at the corner of his mouth, "Oh, it’s you! How’s your master doing?"

"Damn you!" In a burst of rage, Luo He disregarded everything else and gathered all of his Taiching True Qi. He traced out a ferocious White Tiger in the void, and like a bolt of lightning, pounced towards Li Qianqiu.

Li Qianqiu still had a smile on his lips, a flicker of black light on his left hand, and with just a gentle wave, the fierce and terrifying White Tiger vanished into smoke and dissipated in an instant.

"The fluctuations of mana that Li Qianqiu displayed are, at most, at the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal! Yet Luo He, who is a Taiyi Golden Immortal at the middle stage, had his full-strength attack easily neutralized by Li Qianqiu. It’s evident that Li Qianqiu’s cultivation is extraordinary!" Guang Chengzi watched as Luo He made his move, and did not attempt to stop him in the slightest, wanting to see what means Li Qianqiu had that could put the Heavenly Court and the Human Clan in such a passive situation.

"Ants will be ants, how can they shake the towering tree? Scram!" Li Qianqiu laughed disdainfully and waved his left hand again. The rich black light transformed into a black war spear, with the aura of destruction rushing forth like the sea, and exploded towards Luo He.

"Crack!" A powerful surge of mana ripped apart the heavens. The long spear, accompanied by the shattering firmament, traversed through and thrust towards Luo He with tips gleaming with a bit of cold light.

Such combat power has long surpassed the realm of Daluo Golden Immortals, and even reached the level of a Quasi-Saint.

Guang Chengzi had every reason to believe that if this spear truly struck, let alone a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, even if a Daluo Golden Immortal came, their soul would return to the Nine Heavens. He certainly did not want this fourth generation disciple of the Xuan Sect to die here.

"One Seal Flipping Sky!" Guang Chengzi bellowed loudly, hurling the Sky Flipping Seal, and it brazenly met the long spear head-on.

"Boom!"

The boundless void collapsed in an instant, black destructive aura and the green shimmer of Yuqing Power clashed in the void, striking out blinding light that made the sky under the moonlight even more dazzling.

"Spurt!" The previous injuries, coupled with the backlash just suffered, spurred Guang Chengzi’s face to flush red as he furiously spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, his expression completely wilted.

Li Qianqiu, in the sky, took a few steps back, his chest also suffering. After all, Guang Chengzi was at the level of Quasi-Saint Cultivation, and when cultivators of the same realm fought each other, it was impossible not to get injured. He wiped the trace of fresh blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Worthy of being a disciple of a Saint!"

"Immortal Master, are you alright?" Li Jing, standing by Guang Chengzi’s side, quickly supported him.

"It’s nothing serious, just an overexertion of energy; I just need to rest a bit!" Guang Chengzi waved his hand dismissively, but his gaze towards Li Qianqiu started to grow strange. From the clash just now, he suddenly felt a power that was extremely familiar—it was not manifested externally, but something that penetrated deep into the soul.

"Li Qianqiu, I am Heavenly Court Guardian General Li Jing! I am here by command of the Jade Emperor to capture you all; would you not surrender?" Li Jing helped Guang Chengzi to rest aside, then stepped forward and said.

"Heavenly Court?" Li Qianqiu was taken aback upon hearing this, and then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, what a joke! You, Li Jing, are a lapdog of the Heavenly Court; I most certainly am not! I came here just to take this disappointing waste away, if you insist on obstructing, do not blame me for not being courteous!"

"You!" Li Jing’s breath suddenly halted, wanting to retort but also considering Li Qianqiu’s formidable strength, he hesitated in his heart.

"Let them go!" Guang Chengzi, who was meditating and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes and quietly threw out a sentence.

"This... Immortal Master, I can’t explain this to the Jade Emperor!" Though Li Jing looked troubled, even as the proposal was tempting, he dared not and was unwilling to do so.

Guang Chengzi saw Li Jing’s predicament and added, "General Li, rest assured, I will personally explain this matter to the Jade Emperor!"

"Alright then!" Li Jing stepped back and ordered: "Withdraw!"

The Silver Armored Soldiers on the entire battlefield faithfully executed Li Jing’s command, and in no time, they rallied completely.

Li Qianqiu, who had witnessed this scene, gave Guang Chengzi a deep look, casually grasped Xiao Tian, and broke through the sky.
