Chapter 1643: Chapter 1290: Slaughter Them All (2)
Crack—
Li Zhirui, who was fiercely fighting against Earth Immortal Demon Cultivators, suddenly heard a crisp breaking sound at his ear. Instantly, he understood what was happening.
The Mountain Protection Array of the Corpse Refining Sect was finally breached by Jiang Fengwu!
It must be noted that to buy her more time, all cultivators of the Li family really exhausted all their power, and many clansmen sacrificed their lives.
But fortunately, the end result was good.
With a boom, the already battered Mountain Protection Array dimmed at once and then shattered into pieces.
Thus, the vast Corpse Refining Sect was completely exposed to Li Zhirui and others, with no formation to block them.
Moreover, while breaking the Mountain Protection Array, Jiang Fengwu gained certain knowledge of their Mountain Gate’s location.
So when she made her move, it was with various formations layered upon one another, quickly forming a complicated and intricate trap to directly confine a dozen Demon Cultivators.
"Hahaha!"
Li Zhirui burst into laughter as an abundance of white lotus seeds meticulously prepared were scattered over various places of the mountain like the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers.
No spell was required; with just a thought, the Purifying White Lotus rooted swiftly, gradually purifying the dense Corpse Qi and Yin Qi that originally pervaded.
If left unchecked, it wouldn’t be long before the strength of all Demon Cultivators of the Corpse Refining Sect would be greatly affected.
Gradually, the two Earth Immortal Demon Cultivators began to falter, many wounds appearing on their bodies, with bright red blood alarmingly vivid.
"Damn it!"
One of the Earth Immortals said grimly, "Haven’t Brother Han received the message to come out?"
These cultivators attacking us have been here for several hours, and he arranged for a disciple to notify them at the very start, yet there’s still no sign of them now?
"Cough, cough! Junior Brother Zhang, aren’t you too anxious? Here we are, finally."
With this voice, the four Earth Immortal Demon Cultivators who were recuperating appeared on the battlefield.
The four had sallow complexions and weak aura, clearly heavily injured and not yet healed, making it uncertain how much of their strength they could exert.
"Brother Han, you’ve finally arrived; had you not come out soon, we really couldn’t withstand the attacks of these two cultivators."
Li Zhirui naturally observed this scene but didn’t worry due to the presence of two additional Earth Immortal opponents because in their current state, even joining the battle wouldn’t impose much pressure on him.
The same applied to Li Zhixuan!
If their injuries worsened in combat, they might even lose their fighting capability altogether.
"You guys, if you wish to reminisce, there’s no need to rush; once I send you all to the Netherworld, you’ll have plenty of time to share."
A pure white light descending from the sky forcefully ended their conversation.
"Such audacity, an early Earth Immortal level, dares to strike us!"
A towering Earth Immortal, with eyes glaring, charged forward without saying another word, intent on teaching Li Zhirui a lesson, disregarding his own injuries.
Ultimately, this mid-stage Earth Immortal Demon Cultivator simply didn’t regard him seriously.
During his rapid advance, his body further enlarged, appearing like a bluish-green-skinned zombie giant, wielding a Mountain Opening Axe, its chilling light seemed incomparably sharp.
"Brother Lu, be careful! This person..."
Before finishing the sentence, he was flung back even faster, crashing into a distant boulder.
With a splat, he spewed a large amount of black blood, his aura becoming extremely faint, even to the brink of death.
Could a heavily injured, significantly weakened mid-stage Earth Immortal Demon Cultivator dare to be so arrogant? Did he truly assume Li Zhirui’s strength was trivial, reliant solely on the restraining effect of the Purification Principle against these Demon Cultivators?
This blow also planted fear in the remaining Earth Immortal Demon Cultivator, daring no further disdain.
Even though they began to respect the situation, their hard strength was lacking, making it impossible for them to be rivals to Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan.
The inclusion of these few unhealed Demon Cultivators couldn’t alter the battlefield’s situation!
Especially since the two deliberately targeted them, provoking the resurgence of their internal old wounds, ultimately forcing them to withdraw from the fight as further combat risked rendering them as unconscious as Brother Lu.
"Damn it! How could this be! Despite successive battles, your aura hasn’t diminished significantly." That Junior Brother Zhang gnashed his teeth, unable to believe what he saw.
He now had only thirty percent of his mana left, while the opponent seemed to have just restored his mana to perfection, a gap so vast it was hard for anyone to accept.
"You want to know? I’ll tell you once you’re dead!"
Li Zhirui said with a smile, his hands continuing to move, as the Water-Wood Spirit Light transformed into a large grindstone, trapping him above and below, intending to extinguish him directly.
Bang, bang, bang—
Never mind an Earth Immortal, even an ant resists death, erupting in fierce opposition instantly.
Not long before, the grindstone was shattered by the Demon Cultivator, who managed to flee in disgrace.
"This time you escaped by Secret Technique, what about next time? Another Secret Technique?" Seeing the blood at his lips, Li Zhirui was increasingly confident in capturing him.
...
Meanwhile, the battlefield of Li Zhixuan was more intense.
The fiercely murderous and sharp Sword Light truly pierced through with unstoppable force, slashing everything, leaving the three Demon Cultivators struggling to resist. Over time, they were bound to fail.
She single-handedly fought against three Earth Immortal Demon Cultivators, and she had no Minor Thousand World aiding in mana replenishment, yet she still firmly suppressed her opponents.
Under Li Zhixuan’s stream of Life-taking Sword Qi attacks, they bore numerous scars, with bodies drenched in blood and their aura waning to the extreme.
If this continued, they might truly die here!
Facing the great terror of death, the deeply ingrained selfishness of Demon Cultivators to abandon companions and preserve their own lives simultaneously manifested in these three.
In efforts to flee smoothly, they were scheming against one another, obstructing each other.
Ultimately, none managed to escape; all fell beneath Li Zhixuan’s sword!
The death of three Earth Immortal level Demon Cultivators brought immense shock to both sides of the battlefield.
"How... how is this possible!"
The two remaining sober Earth Immortal Demon Cultivators stared dumbfoundedly at their brethren’s corpses, a cold dread swiftly flooding every corner of their bodies.
They could already smell the scent of death, intensifying and growing stronger!
"What to do! What to do!"
Dealing with just Li Zhirui was already taxing; if Li Zhixuan joined the fray, in an hour, they’d likely follow their brethren to a body separated from their head!
Even in such dire straits, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn’t think of a solution.
In the next moment, as Li Zhixuan’s movements unfolded, they breathed a slight sigh of relief.
For this killer didn’t join their battlefield but went off to deal with the lower-level Demon Cultivators.
With just a casual sword strike, none of the Demon Cultivators could withstand it, all becoming spirits of the dead.
"I say, you two are already in such condition, yet you dare be distracted?"
Li Zhirui’s voice, tinged with cold laughter, rang out, making them shudder uncontrollably.
Indeed, even without that Sword Cultivator meddling, what of it? Just the cultivator before them was enough to vanquish them!
Thinking these thoughts, the two Earth Immortal Demon Cultivators tragically lost all morale.
The greatest despair comes from a dead heart!
In such a state, in mere moments, they were slain by Li Zhirui.
Of the Corpse Refining Sect’s six Earth Immortal Demon Cultivators, five ended heavily wounded, leaving despair to fill the hearts of the disciples who couldn’t understand how despite a great numerical advantage, they lost so miserably.
With the assistance of Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan, this battle soon concluded.
The Li family achieved an absolute victory! All Demon Cultivators from the Corpse Refining Sect’s Mountain Gate were vanquished, without a single survivor.
However, during this process, the Li family incurred significant injuries.
