Turquoise Pool and Bi also helped check the Storage Bag, and after Li Qianxia calmed down, she began to join in.

It didn't take long; soon, one after another, the rest of them came to their senses. The nine of them immediately flew back to the Capital at the fastest speed.

"What a pity, I only have two Golden Rainbow Talismans, otherwise we could have arrived instantly," Turquoise Pool sighed.

This time she too suffered heavy losses, not just her subordinates – many of her magical artifacts were gone as well.

Li Qianxia and Yang Qinglan could only summon Li Changzhou to their side and likewise had no quick way of getting back.

As for summoning Li Changzhou, it would ensure his safety, but what if he still hadn't obtained the Dragon Vein? Or what if he was about to get his hands on it?

Of course, this wasn't the main point. According to the agreement, if there truly was danger, Li Changzhou would definitely summon them over. Since he hadn't, it proved that the situation hadn't reached the point of recklessness that required summoning Li Changzhou to their side at all costs.

Nine streaks of light shot across the sky, carving furrows through the sea of clouds, as they raced towards the Capital with all their might.

◇

The feeling of suffocation wrapped around his head like a tide.

Li Changzhou gasped for air desperately but couldn't slow his wildly beating heart.

Opposite him, Tao Zhongwen, Ti Yuanzi, Sheng Duanming, Lan Daoheng, and Lantian Jade had their mouths wide open as well, gasping like stranded fish, their eyes lifeless.

The half-collapsed eighteen layers of Hell slowly dissipated, unable to reappear for a short while;

The Taotie had already vanished without a trace, even the King Cobra had split into two and fled back to the Void;

The Emerald Bee Sword was retracted. The intensity of this battle was not a tempering for it but a destruction.

Among the six present, Li Changzhou was the first to steady his breathing and straighten up.

The pupils of Tao Zhongwen, Ti Yuanzi, and the others constricted; they didn't expect that he had manifested the Heavenly Emperor's Body and fought against the five of them up to now, yet his remaining energy still exceeded any one of them!

Li Changzhou raised his head, with more than half of the Capital gone beneath his feet, and the sea of clouds above his head already torn apart. The full moon of the fifteenth shone grandly down on the mortal world.

"You guys," Li Changzhou's gaze returned to the five before him, "are so keen on dying, addicted to it?"

"Even if we die, we must avenge Zhong Kang!" Tao Zhongwen stood up straight.

"I'm old, cough, dying without becoming an Immortal anyway," Ti Yuanzi coughed once and straightened his back.

"Brother Li, there's nothing more to say. Who doesn't want eternal life? Who wouldn't wish to become an ancestor among Immortals?" Lan Daoheng and Lantian Jade also looked over.

Sheng Duanming laughed loudly: "Throughout the ages, how many cultivators have desired this life-risking opportunity and didn't get it? I'm addicted, I'm willing, what about it!"

"Good!" Li Changzhou nodded, "then let's do this! Let's see whose addiction is greater! Let's see whose life is tougher!"

Boom!

A full-blown assault was unleashed right away!

The sky shuddered, a hurricane shot up from earth to sky, with lightning densely packed on its surface, roaring in.

"Imperative!" Tao Zhongwen's left hand formed an incantation, his right hand pointed at Li Changzhou, and a waterfall of talismans rushed towards him, with each one powerful enough to blow up a house.

Lan Daoheng and Lantian Jade twisted their figures, turning into a sky full of bamboo forest, with bamboo leaves fresh and green, each leaf a flying sword as swift as an arrow.

Sheng Duanming raised his hand to catch, and the immense Five Elements Handprint descended upon them.

Li Changzhou's arms shook, he roared to the sky, and Five Elements Qi Blades shot out from all over his body, instantly streaking through the bamboo forest with sword light.

"Kill!"

He twisted and turned his body, transforming into a swirl of Five Elements Qi, weaving through the bamboo forest, smashing through the endless bamboo leaves.

"Boom!" The Five Elements Qi Wheel collided with the lightning-laden hurricane, and the shockwaves sent the rubble of the Forbidden City flying.

Suddenly it shot into the sky, plunging into the Talisman Sea, piercing the Five Elements Handprint.

The Five Elements Qi Wheel dissipated, revealing Li Changzhou's form, standing above the sea of clouds.

He raised his right arm high, and with a loud explosion, the Five Elements Qi Blade shot out from his arm, piercing the heavens.

From afar, it looked like a vertical rainbow of five colors!

"Let's see who can withstand my single blade! Let's see who can stop me from becoming an Immortal!" Li Changzhou dived down from the sea of clouds, as if wielding a chain, lashing the earth, he swung out a Five Elements Qi Blade hundreds of meters long in his hand.

Faced with this earth-shattering strike, Tao Zhongwen suddenly shouted: "Form the array!"

The Daoists guarding the Forbidden City stopped all their movements and chanted in unison.

And that was not all!

Tao Zhongwen, Ti Yuanzi, Sheng Duanming, Lan Daoheng, and Lantian Jade five people also sat cross-legged in mid-air, holding incantations and chanting.

Hum!!!

The Five Elements Qi Blade Li Changzhou was chopping downwards buzzed under the incantation, then suddenly Split, turning into five clusters of light.

Golden Qi White Light, Wood Energy Green, Water Qi Black Mysterious, Fire Qi Red Flames, Earth Qi Yellow.

The five clusters of light whirled and roared, spinning faster and faster, gradually pulling out shadows to form a wall of light, encircling Li Changzhou.

Feeling a surge of Crisis Sense, Li Changzhou raised his arm and slashed down with a thunderous blow, another Five Elements Qi Blade was launched.

The Qi Blade struck the light wall, like flour hitting dough, the wall of light continued to spin, merging the Qi Blade into it.

The light wall solidified rapidly, forming a Big Cauldron in mid-air.

"Heaven and earth as the furnace, Five Elements as firewood, refine!" The five people seated cross-legged around the Big Cauldron, Tao Zhongwen and the others, pushed their hands towards the center with a fierce thrust.

Boom!

The Big Cauldron spewed out thousands of threads of five-colored fierce flames, burying Li Changzhou.

"Roar!" A fierce black head rose from the fire, throwing back its head to roar to the sky.

With a flick of its tail, it swiped at the Five Elements Cauldron, scattering its brilliance, and with an upward nudge, almost collapsed the Big Cauldron!

"Ignite the Five Elements Fire within his body!" Tao Zhongwen shouted loudly.

All the Daoists inside the Forbidden City, together with Tao Zhongwen, Ti Yuanzi, Sheng Duanming, Lan Daoheng, and Lantian Jade, simultaneously formed incantations.

"Draw!"

Boom!
