Killing someone and also destroying their spirit was truly ruthless, so Jiang Li decided to step up the intensity.

Jiang Zhuliu's anger rose from his heart, and he immediately launched a fierce Qi Force into the air, abruptly targeting Jiang Li's head like a sharp arrow.

This attack was like a signal, prompting everyone else to suddenly make their moves; however—

The Qi Force landed unimpeded on Jiang Li's head, and with a mere touch, it blasted his head to smithereens, scattering it into a cluster of Primordial Qi. At the center of these Primordial Qi, golden inscriptions suppressing the starlight floated in the void.

Fake?

Jiang Zhuliu's expression drastically changed.

Although he was enraged, he did not lose his sanity and continued to guard his mind, always wary of Jiang Li without showing any flaws. But what if the object of this caution was fake?

The flaw that had never been shown earlier appeared now.

Jiang Zhuliu had never expected that the golden inscription would not hit a real target but instead struck an illusory avatar, and he was completely unaware, engaging in verbal sparring with an Illusion Body. At this moment, when he realized his guarded target was incorrect, coupled with the shock in his heart, Jiang Zhuliu's spirit fluctuated immensely, finally revealing a slight flaw.

"Do you think I didn't notice you?"

A faint voice reached his ears from behind, and a fierce Sword Qi materialized out of nowhere, piercing straight through Jiang Zhuliu's heart.

"Nourishing Return Flow."

Jiang Zhuliu's Qi Mechanism burst forth, creating countless swirling vortices of Innate Qi around his body. The Sword Qi entered one of the vortices, and the large and small vortices resonated together, applying countless forces on the Sword Qi and grinding it into shapelessness.

Water Qi Nourishment, Heavenly Qi Returns—the two streams of Primordial Qi merged and cleansed to create vortices.

As a son of the main Jiang Family, Jiang Zhuliu naturally inherited the true essence of Qi Tomb, starkly different from Jiang Li's half-studied techniques. His hastily executed move perfectly blocked this strike, but Jiang Zhuliu showed no joy.

Too weak.

The body could be fake, the flowing True Qi, could also be fake; this Sword Qi was solid outside but empty within, merely a decoy.

"Be careful," Jiang Zhuliu shouted immediately.

But it was too late.

Faster than sound, quicker than thunder, Jiang Li's real lethal move had already been made.

A sudden ripple appeared oddly in front of Da Feng, a complex Array Map flashed by, and a pair of hands, as if reaching out from the void, struck horizontally at the most severely wounded prey.

"Quack!"

A pair of wings burst open from behind, amidst the chaos of fluttering feathers, Da Feng screeched sharply, its sound waves mingling with the Gang Wind, countless feather blades piercing forward like razors.

In an instant, countless feather blades fell on these hands, producing incessant clinking sounds. Simultaneously, an invisible field formed, with Sword Light suddenly flaring.

"Boom!"

Immense strength blasted away the Gang Wind, and the tangible sound waves were overshadowed by a stronger sonic wave, extreme violence descending immediately.

"Thud!"

Hands struck like ringing a bell, landing horizontally on Da Feng's arms, which were shielding itself. Flesh flew in all directions, and the bones split into two halves—these were clearly not just arms, but rather two sharp swords.

Jiang Li, using an invisible field, shot himself forward, transforming into a humanoid electromagnetic cannon while his hands teemed with Great Circle Sword Qi.

The hit by the golden inscription was fake, but the consumption of True Qi before was real. Even if Jiang Li decisively took medicine to recover, he could not restore to his peak immediately; he had to exert his full strength after a long time.

With arms nearly instantly lost, Da Feng's face aged like an old man's contorted in pain, veins bulging, yet he did not forget to save himself.

His body suddenly expanded, transitioning from human size to a ferocious beast resembling a dog but with a human face and giant wings, invoking Gang Wind. The Great Circle Sword Qi penetrated through the body, tearing the flesh, but due to the body's transformation, it missed the vital parts. The Sword Qi exited from Da Feng's back, bringing forth two streams of blood spray.

The momentum was exhausted.

Despite being further injured, Da Feng showed a hint of joy at the possibility of escaping death.

He quickly flapped his wings, stirring up Gang Wind, retreating swiftly; at the same time, the assassin's sword also arrived.

The dark venomous snake extended its fangs again, and the dim Sword Light once more targeted Jiang Li's head directly. Given Jiang Li's excessive energy consumption, if he reacted as before by stirring True Qi to block, it would only further intensify his exhaustion—even if the assassin missed, it would still be a fortunate outcome.

Moreover, no matter what, Jiang Li could no longer continue to strike at Da Feng.

However, just then, the ripple reappeared, and a bull-calf-sized red Sky Dog, bearing the pain of being crushed all over, intercepted before the dim Sword Light.

"Howl."

Without even a moment to think, Xiao Tian quickly opened its mouth and swallowed the Sword Light.

While Jiang Li shadowed him closely, catching up to Da Feng.

Undergoing a Dragon and Snake transformation, his body's functions accelerated crazily. Using the Dragon and Snake Body technique, he caught up to Da Feng, a clear Sword Light growing from his hands.

"Don't even think about it!"

Yu Shuyan manipulated Qi from afar, attempting to forcibly suppress this Sword Light, just as before, while simultaneously pushing her palm out, Golden Wind Jade Dew met once again, roaring past, covering everything around Da Feng.

Whether it was Da Feng or Jiang Li, their skin started showing metallic colors, Xin Metal penetrating the body, rapidly metallizing everything.

This move did not differentiate between friend or foe, yet it was an excellent aid; Da Feng transformed into gold which slightly improved his chances of survival, while Jiang Li, becoming gold, was undoubtedly doomed.

Then the Golden Wind Jade Dew entered his body, but Jiang Li absorbed and utilized it, harboring and operating the energy—Sword Light enveloped in a layer of golden light; and the Great Circle Sword was not made of gold, making Yu Shuyan's restraint completely ineffective.

The wind rose.

The Gang Wind stirred by the gale was tinged with bleakness and grim killing intent; the Golden Wind approached slowly, turning the world golden.

Spring Autumn Sword!

From spring to autumn, from life to death, incorporating the stern transformation of heaven and earth into the sword, as the Golden Wind passed, the stirred gale resembled a golden statue, suspended in midair; and the golden Sword Light pierced through it all.

Crack—

Accompanied by a light sound, Da Feng's previously motionless face and body split in two.

"The first one!"

The Sword Light vanished in the newly appeared ripples, and beneath Jiang Li's clothes, Dragon Scales emerged to resist another twist and crush, his body's flesh transforming, and his bones making sounds as if they couldn't bear the burden.

The continuous repositioning in a short time greatly increased the burden on Jiang Li's body. Though he had deployed a lethal move just prior without success, the pressure it brought on his body and Sea of Consciousness was genuine.

However, the beneficial gains from killing Da Feng also cleansed his body, with Pure Yang Qi circulating, reducing the pressure.

Da Feng and Zaochi had committed many killings, being greatly evil from the start—Da Feng had even attacked the Lu King, indirectly causing him to kill hundreds of thousands of living creatures out of desperation for survival. His death brought significant benefits to Jiang Li.

"Da Feng!"

With one sword strike killing Da Feng, Zaochi roared furiously.

Qi Force erupted around him, Evil Qi sweeping like waves, his already colossal stature seemed even more imposing.

"Heavenly Swinging Style!" Jiang Zhuliu exclaimed upon seeing this.

"Heavenly Swinging Style" was a secret technique of the Great Zhou Army, and only those in the military ranks could learn it. Zaochi exhibiting this move clearly proved his intimate connections with the court.

At the same time, it exposed that this group was not unified.

Jiang Li's thoughts flickered rapidly, suddenly appearing from where Da Feng's body fell, drawing Gang Wind with Innate Wind Qi, utilizing the wind stirred by Da Feng.

A violent Gang Wind formed a spiral, with the Sword Light as the tip, forging a Wind Gang Sword aimed directly at Zaochi.

These two great Devil Cultivators were immensely evil; killing them was to nourish himself through battle. Although it wouldn't allow Jiang Li to revert to his peak condition, it could compensate for some of the depletion.

But this time, the opponent was not caught off-guard as before.

"Gui Cang Positioning."

Jiang Zhuliu's palms parted, one up and one down, filling the four directions with Earth Qi; the surrounding space was within his perception.

Jiang Li's presence could not escape his senses.

His heart beating rapidly, Jiang Li scanned around, suddenly visualizing an Array Plate, the space in front of him creased, moved by successive rings of the Array Plate.

The third repositioning!

He detected Jiang Zhuliu's perception and decisively repositioned, vanishing into thin air, and immediately reappeared behind Zaochi.

The core of the Wind Gang Sword lost, its momentum unabated, the shrill wind howled directly enveloping Zaochi.

"Kill!"

Zaochi brandished his shield, brimming with Evil Qi, the Stone Shield sweeping horizontally across the Gang Wind, countless shards flung from the shield with great force, the Gang Wind bursting apart as the sharp Sword Light pierced the Stone Armor, tearing through the iron-hard flesh.

"Heavenly Shaking Ten Forms."

Overflowing with Evil Qi, the Stone Armor on his body violently shattered, even the flesh with the sword wound burst open, pushing out the Sword Light. Immediately, Zaochi abandoned the shield, turned around, his Stone Spear sweeping across with a resolute counterstrike.

Having been exposed, he decided not to conceal anymore, fully displaying his foundational technique.

It was said that the "Heavenly Shaking Style" of the Great Zhou Army originated from the "Gan Qi Dance" of the Jiang family—overwhelmingly fierce and strictly battle-oriented. Zaochi's ferocity fully embodied the essence of the "Heavenly Shaking Style," with sweeping Evil Qi that seemed to cry like countless wronged souls, violent and terrifying.

Jiang Zhuliu also instantly detected the movements of the two via "Gui Cang Positioning," his arms embracing to condense Innate Eight Qi, startlingly forming a cauldron resembling the Divine Farmer's Cauldron.

As one countered, the other was about to strike; Jiang Li sensed the condition of his body after three repositionings, his Qi Sea and Qi Mechanism inside him going wild.

His body stretched, making sounds like firecrackers, a pair of crimson horn illusions emerging on his forehead, his hair like spear blades, showing a metallic sheen, resounding with a clinking sound.

Innate True Body, Chi You's Dharma.

Jiang Li drew a coarse Stone Sword from his Storage Bracelet, parrying the long spear.

"Thud!"

The Cliff Sword blocked the Stone Spear horizontally, the weight bestowed upon the Stone Sword by the Overlord Dao Fruit manifesting as a stele's illusion, endowing the Stone Sword with immense heaviness. Jiang Li held the sword with one hand, forcibly refining Essence Element into True Qi via Dao Fruit Ability "Five Qi Chaoyuan," pouring it into the Stone Sword.

"The second one."

He cried out loudly, the great sword striking with immense force, fiercely blocking the Stone Spear—sending one sword strike toward Zaochi.

Zaochi clenched his teeth fiercely, advancing instead of retreating. His height was over ten feet, towering above Jiang Li; this advance meant meeting the Cliff Sword with his chest, receiving the heavy strike with force as his Stone Spear carried a whistling wind, thrusting towards Jiang Li's head.

In a narrow encounter, the brave wins, and at this moment, it was a battle deciding life and death.
