The Qi currents fluctuated wildly, and large ripples appeared where Jiang Li had originally been, his figure disappearing like a mirage, only to reappear in the sky the next instant.
He had taken the attacks of the three opponents just for this moment.
As Da Feng made his move, he broke out of the battle group, turning his passive position into an active one.
In the sky, thunder roared fiercely, but it was Jiang Li who raised both hands to summon the wind and thunder. The fierce winds stirred up by Da Feng were now utilized by Jiang Li, and his Innate Qi evolved into Thunder Technique, instantly covering all directions with terrifying thunder, sending violent storms in every direction.
Jiang Li used all elements, instantly drawing down the wind and thunder, the violent storm rolling with raging thunder, striking the fierce birdlike creature in the face.
"Quack!"
Da Feng let out a sharp, strange cry, its wings trembling together, and its True Qi swirling around its body like a fierce wind.
Because Devil Cultivators have strong physical bodies and are influenced by their demonic nature, they often find it difficult to make significant advancements in magic. Typically, they cultivate Martial Arts and supplement it with Dao Fruit, such as Da Feng did.
Although Martial Arts are often looked down upon by magic practitioners, they are not without merits. Most notably, practitioners are powerful and quickly gather Qi. As cultivators in this age primarily use Refining Essence into Qi as their main method of gathering Qi, those with stronger physical bodies naturally possess greater power, and in urgent times, they can forcefully extract blood essence to refine into True Qi.
Even the speed of digesting medicinal properties is faster.
At this moment, Da Feng was rapidly gathering True Qi. Layers of fierce winds collided with the thunder, creating Vigorous Qi Waves.
Jiang Li had been building up his power for a long time, using the Demon Realm from the Moluo Sword Manual to support the operation of wind and thunder. With tremendous force and unrivaled ferocity, even as Da Feng responded timely, he was still blasted with his body smoking azure, crashing heavily to the ground, shaking the grand hall and creating clouds of dust.
Da Feng, being a Wind-controlling Divine Beast, was not particularly fearful of the force of the wind. However, the Thunder Technique was domineering and potent, antagonistic to the wind and also an authentic Heavenly Pig Divine Spell with the power to slay demons, which inflicted significant damage on Da Feng.
However, at the same time, the other three people below had timely withdrawn.
The assassin's figure flickered, semi-real and semi-illusory, a dark shadow slicing through the air, a cold Sword Light biting forth like a venomous snake.
Yu Shuyan manipulated golden energy, transforming it into Kun Yin Energy, the combination being the Golden Wind Jade Dew Palm of the Kunxu Immortal Palace. Zaochi, on the other hand, held a spear in one hand and a shield in another, poised to throw.
"Xiao Tian, if you keep playing dead, don't blame me for making you truly become a dead dog."
Jiang Li shifted his figure and moved across the sky, dodging the Sword Light while shouting the command.
The little red dog that had crashed into a corner and was pretending to be dead suddenly stuck out its tongue. The chain-like markings on its neck began to tighten, suffocating it to the point that its eyes began to roll back.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
Xiao Tian frantically pawed, appearing to beg for mercy. Its hind legs kicked fiercely, and a red light broke through the air, swallowing the dim Sword Light in its mouth.
"Heartless and ungrateful creature, to betray!"
Upon seeing this, Yu Shuyan could hardly contain herself and spoke sharply.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian acted as if he heard nothing, the red meteor charging at the shadow slashing through the air, chasing after the assassin.
"Howl!"
It let out a wolf-like howl, transforming into the size of a calf, its large mouth ferociously biting, leaving fiery traces in the air.
Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve together, so it chose to bite the assassin, avoiding a direct confrontation with the Kunxu Immortal Palace.
If Xiao Tian could speak, it probably would have expressed something like that.
Da Feng was injured, the assassin intercepted by Xiao Tian, reducing Jiang Li's enemies temporarily by two, easing the pressure significantly.
Eight streams of Primordial Qi roared out of his body like angry dragons, intertwining in pairs, transforming into sixty-four Qi, which then evolved further into two hundred and fifty-six, continuously multiplying, instantly filling the universe.
"Heavenly Endless Treasure."
Like a giant boulder rolling down from the mountain peak, the encompassing Primordial Qi grew stronger and sunk downward, with the force of heaven collapsing.
Zaochi's fangs protruded violently; he disregarded throwing the spear and hurriedly rushed to Da Feng's side. He lifted the huge Stone Shield, operating the Dao Fruit Divine Power. A large shield-shaped apparition enveloped the Stone Shield, protecting both beneath.
On the other side, Yu Shuyan swiftly struck a palm, combining Golden Wind with Jade Dew, surpassing countless in the mortal world. In mid-air, a dazzling scene unfolded as Golden Wind met Jade Dew. The yin from the Gold moistened things, and the gold from the Yin was rigidly fierce. Although it appeared beautiful and splendid, the power emitted was both fierce and domineering.
When the Primordial Qi made contact, it immediately took on a metallic luster, transforming the formless Primordial Qi into tangible metal. If a human body were struck by this palm, it would instantly turn into a golden statue.
However, the vast amount of Primordial Qi filling the universe possessed such mighty power that it far surpassed the Golden Wind Jade Dew Palm. As soon as the golden light appeared, it was mercilessly crushed, and the continuously multiplying Primordial Qi grew even more violent.
Like an eagle hunting a rabbit, a group of dragons devouring a tiger, the clashing Primordial Qi refined and shattered the Golden Wind Jade Dew, thunderously plummeting down.
"Boom!"
The Divine Farmer Hall completely collapsed, countless stones were ground into dust, and amidst the overwhelming Qi mechanism, Yu Shuyan unfolded her energy waves like a sharp blade and hurriedly retreated, her originally snow-white dress unable to conceal the disarray and wretchedness.
On the ground, the massive stone shield cracked and more fissures emerged, the shield itself emitting a sorrowful cry as if it could no longer bear the burden.
But ultimately, it held up.
"Not bad, Zaochi," Jiang Li mildly praised.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas states: "Yi battled Zaochi at Shouhua Wilderness, shooting him dead in East Kunlun. Yi wielded a bow and arrows, Zaochi a shield, some say a halberd."
The Dao Fruit power of Zaochi originated from a demon that fought with Hou Yi, although it is said that Zaochi only resisted two moves, one split his shield, and the second killed him, but it was a shield that could withstand a blow from Hou Yi, so it held a certain prestige.
The Devil Cultivator bearing the same name as Zaochi did not disgrace this Dao Fruit either, managing to withstand Jiang Li's full-power strike.
After "Heavenly Endless Treasure," Jiang Li's body became ethereal, apart from the Demon Cleansing True Qi, his remaining True Qi was more than half depleted, no longer at its peak, but...
His mind stirred, and from the split acupoint between his eyebrows, a talisman materialized.
Do not forget, Jiang Li is still a Sixth Rank, and he has a trump card arranged by Tianxuan.
As the talisman revealed itself, star dust circulated around Jiang Li, and an incredibly vast Qi mechanism radiated from him, this deathblow poised to determine the outcome.
Yu Shuyan, who had retreated, saw the emergence of starlight, her expression changing dramatically, not in panic, but with a triumph of finally achieving her goal.
She appeared young but was actually over fifty years old, an old hand in Jianghu, and how could she forget the real threat posed by Jiang Li?
Jiang Li himself might not be able to kill her and others, but this deathblow surely could, once struck, it was a matter of life and death.
The key was to be hit.
As starlight emerged, a streak of golden light flashed across the sky with lightning speed, confronting the talisman from between the eyebrows, pressing the starlight back, sealing it on Jiang Li's forehead.
"Hmph."
Jiang Li grunted, his head lifted, his deathblow restrained, the counterforce of the Qi causing a pained expression to emerge.
"Rebellious traitor creating chaos, your end has come."
A figure advanced with the momentum of a dragon and the pace of a tiger, his immense aura surging like tides, pulling at the Qi mechanism and causing the Innate Qi in Jiang Li's body to resonate faintly.
Even more so, Jiang Li felt a throbbing coming from his blood.
The newcomer shared the same bloodline with him—a member of the Jiang family.
"The Jiang family's main branch..."
Jiang Li muttered softly, looking at the person, "No wonder the Divine Farmer's Cauldron suddenly quieted down."
Although Jiang Li had initially cultivated the Divine Farmer's Cauldron, he himself could hardly claim to manipulate it properly; the secrets of controlling the Divine Farmer's Cauldron had always been held by the main branch of the Jiang family... even the Family Head of the Jiang family.
Jiang Li had stolen the knowledge of Qi Tomb, and only by using the Divine Farmer's Cauldron did he find the correct path; naturally, he did not possess such Magic Doors.
Therefore, there was the scene that just unfolded.
"A stray dog that escaped overseas finally dared to return?"
Jiang Li's voice was somber as he looked down at the figure from a high position.
With the Emperor sealed and Great Zhou in chaos, it seemed the main branch of the Jiang family saw an opportunity to return.
The biting words caused a slight shift in the opponent's Qi mechanism, but they didn't perturb his mental state. He looked up at Jiang Li, his eyes revealing a murderous intent and a deep-seated hatred, "After I capture you, I will use your soul to light a celestial lantern to honor the spirit of my brother in heaven."
