Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 221: Chapter 25: Battle at the Summit (6K combined chapter)

The young man in the purple robe raised his eyebrows slightly, a playful arc appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he reached out to catch.

Bang!

He grasped the chess piece that had previously suppressed the Grandmasters of the world.

The dazzling, magnificent light, which he caught casually, extinguished like the sun going out!

The crowd’s color changed in unison, but at that moment, a burst of bursting sounds suddenly came from the palm of the youth in the purple robe, like a thunder exploding, and a little ash-white smoke dispersed from between his fingers, resembling stone powder.

The expression of mild amusement on the face of the young man in the purple robe froze slightly, and he loosened his fingers, revealing his palm which was a blur of flesh and blood, as if slashed by numerous sharp blades.

He, was injured!

The many Grandmasters were all stunned; they had all crossed swords with Li Hao’s chess pieces before and knew how terrifying the martial dao intent contained within them was. Just when they saw it being effortlessly crushed by the Great Demon, their hearts had trembled with fear, and to their astonishment, even this Immortal of the Three Immortal Realms had been injured?

Seeing their young master injured, the expression of the grey-robed elder standing behind the youth in the purple robe turned cold, and he slowly stepped forward.

It seemed as if darkness fell upon the world, like dark clouds rolling in overhead.

Everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat, struggling to breathe.

However, the young man in purple raised his hand to halt the elder. He gently rubbed between his fingers the remaining powder, and the wounds in his palm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He looked up at the calm young man sitting before him, a smile appearing in his purple, starry eyes:

“Interesting.”

“You are the Little Demon King of Wan Shan!”

At that moment, an astonished voice rang out, belonging to the Hermit Tianji.

He had now recognized the origins of these two Great Demons, his face full of amazement. It was the son of the Demon King of Wan Shan from beyond Heavenly Gate Pass!

This Little Demon King was rumored to have extraordinary talent, cultivated wholeheartedly by his father, and in mere centuries, had already reached the pinnacle of the Three Immortals!

Moreover, he had several records of devouring generals of the Three Immortal Realms in the borderlands. Decades ago, this Little Demon King was notorious for attacking multiple border towns in the Liangzhou Territory, a terribly restless and fearsome demon!

“The Little Demon King of Wan Shan?!”

Hearing Hermit Tianji’s words, the dozens of Grandmasters from the Liangzhou Territory all had a drastic change in expression, revealing shock and fear.

This Little Demon King, notoriously rampant and high-profile, had attacked borderlands repeatedly, and they were well aware of his notoriety and realm.

If it was only the Undying Realm, they could have joined forces to defeat him.

But the Unwithering Realm, the gap was too wide, and even the tactics of overwhelming numbers would not work, as the opponent possessed Unwithering Strength.

“Why would this demon come here? Damn it, they wouldn’t be targeting us, would they?”

“Known for his murderous nature and enormous appetite, how could such a monster sneak in!?”

The Grandmasters turned pale; though revered in status, before such Great Demons, they were merely appetizing prey.

Some already considered retreat, with despair in their eyes.

Had the City-Protecting Formation still been intact, they could have relied on the power of the Formation to defend against such Great Demons.

But the formation was broken, and even the Lord of Dayue City had fallen in battle, leaving their only hope now resting on Wen Tian’en of Mount Wuliang, the Immortal of the Three Immortal Realms!

With this thought, numerous Grandmasters turned their gaze toward Wen Tian’en and Hermit Tianji, who might currently be the last pillars of support for Dayue City.

Only, facing the Immortal Demons, including the distant Bull Demon, there were three.

Numbers aside, they had the advantage in strength.

And beyond the city, there was a relentless tide of demons, clearly intent on surrounding the entire city to slaughter its inhabitants!

“Everyone, let’s fight to the death!”

Not all Grandmasters placed their hopes on others. Some stepped forward, and after the initial shock and despair, their eyes gleamed with a resolute readiness for death.

“To run is to die, let’s break out a bloody path before the tide of demons closes in!”

“If some of us can get away, we can request aid from the nearest garrison, it’s not too late, the city won’t be completely lost!”

“That’s right, cowardice only leads to a quicker death!”

As some took the lead, more Grandmasters collected their wits from the shock and despair. After all, they were leaders of their own domains, and though they knew the battle would be incredibly brutal, what choice did they have?

Run away?

If they scattered like birds and beasts, they would only be slaughtered and captured by these Great Demons!

After all, they were Grandmasters, not pigs or dogs, they were not ants that would flee in a panic just because they were threatened.

Long waves churned in Dragon River, surging and crashing against the shores outside the Debate Platform, as if roaring with fury!

In that moment, numerous Grandmasters stepped forth, determination in their eyes.

Zhou Haitang raised his hand to shield his daughter and two disciples behind him. He took a deep breath. Although he was only at the Buddha Nature Realm of the Grandmaster Realm and not even considered a Great Grandmaster, even facing a common Immortal Demon would usually send him fleeing.

But now, how could he flee?

Behind him were his daughter and his disciples.

With his own flesh and spirit, with all his life’s cultivation of Grandmaster Martial Arts, he must fight to carve out a slim chance of survival for them!

“Bai, it seems our spar must wait until next time.”

Zhou Haitang saw Bai Chunhai, who had also stepped forward, not far away.

The two longtime rivals, in this moment, shared a look as if understanding each other’s resolve, and in the solemnity of their eyes, there was also a faint smile of relief.

“It might not have to wait until next time, let’s see which of us can inflict more damage on it, shall we?”
