Chapter 296 Killing Huang Long Zhenren
“boom!”

Li Qingyun chopped down with his sword, unstoppable.

However, just as the attack came into contact with the formation, blue and purple lightning burst out, and it counterattacked with a horrifying spiritual energy hitting his chest, shaking the ground beneath his feet to shatter.

The powerful fluctuations shone palely against the night sky, as if someone was drawing in the evil power from outer space and directly confronting Li Qingyun.

At the same time, the monsters and Taoist priests lurking around rushed forward, trying to restrain him.

Li Qingyun snorted coldly, shook his body, transformed into countless clones, and rushed into the group of monsters.

Suddenly, there were war cries and collision sounds everywhere, and the center of the valley turned into a chaotic battlefield.

Li Qingyun faced the explosion of spiritual energy head-on, endured the pain of the seal in his body being torn apart, and leaped forward against the strong wind. With one powerful sword, he cut off half of the two Taoists who were blocking his way. Blood mist splattered, causing the nearby monsters to retreat.

But suddenly a sinister laugh came from the other side of the blood pool…

“Hehehe——”

A figure appeared, it was Master Huanglong.

There was no longer any mercy on his face, and his eyes were filled with bloodthirsty excitement.

“Li Qingyun, you are really brave, but you are late.”

He raised his hand to signal several capable Taoist priests behind him to speed up their spellcasting. Immediately, several dark purple chains rose into the air, piercing through the blood pool and the symbols of the Outer Gods.

Under the pull of the chains, countless human souls, as numerous as the grains of sand in the sky, turned into fireflies-like light points and merged into the formation. Sharp cries were heard, but no one could save them.

Li Qingyun was furious, the light of his knife grew brighter, and he wanted to charge into the pool of blood.

But Master Huanglong sneered, stretched out his hand, and a strange talisman appeared out of thin air, emitting infinite magical power, which was so powerful that it actually took on Li Qingyun’s true god-level attack.

“Three Pure Ones Talisman?”

Li Qingyun’s eyes narrowed slightly. He already knew that this was a powerful magic weapon from the three true gods of Yuxu Palace. No wonder Huanglong Zhenren, a mere demigod, could be so fearless and dare to face his attack head-on.

It turns out that all of this was manipulated by the Three Pure Ones behind the scenes…

Although he had expected this, Li Qingyun was still furious after confirming it.

The smile on his face grew brighter.

Since you three Taoist supreme masters are hiding your heads and tails and dare not show up, I will use your disciples as sacrifices first!
Thinking of this, he raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at Master Huanglong from a distance.

True Man Huanglong relied on the Three Pure Ones’ magic weapon to protect him. Facing Li Qingyun, whose strength and condition were greatly reduced at this time, he was not afraid at all. He activated the Three Pure Ones’ talismans to fight against the true god.

When the two people’s spiritual power collided, the rocks collapsed and the remaining formation whistled.

Huang Long Zhenren laughed wildly:

“These countless souls are the contractual sacrifices between my Yuxu Palace and the Outer Gods. It’s a pity that you still want to be a mantis blocking the way. You are simply courting death. After I complete the blood sacrifice, the Outer Gods will descend and we won’t have to worry about anything. The entire Song Dynasty is under the control of my Taoist sect and the Outer Gods!”

Li Qingyun did not say a word, but his sword energy turned into thousands of phantoms and fiercely slashed towards Master Huanglong.

But the opponent cast spells gloomily, and a strange black light emerged from behind him. It was an evil power bestowed by an alien god, which directed the force of the sword to the surrounding mountains, causing a series of explosions and fragments of stone flying like raindrops.

The rest of the powerful men in the world could hardly get close in such a melee between gods. They were shocked to see this scene: Zhenren Huanglong could actually fight with Li Qingyun to a draw. With the power of Yuxu Palace Tianzun and foreign gods, he was so powerful. No wonder he was so arrogant.

The battlefield was a scorched earth, with soldiers fighting with monsters. The Taoists were divided into two factions: some were fanatical believers in Huanglong Zhenren and helped him defend the formation; others took the opportunity to stab him in the back and resist. Their fellow disciples killed each other and screamed constantly.

The valley was ablaze with flames, illuminating countless distorted figures, and all kinds of spells and sword lights were everywhere, as if purgatory had come to the world.

Li Qingyun tried his best to suppress Master Huanglong for several points, but after he burst out with all his strength, he felt a sudden pain in his chest and the seal vibrated violently again.

The gray mist in his body almost rushed out of his sea of ​​consciousness, causing him to almost spit out blood.

Many people saw his figure swaying slightly and showed worried expressions.

At this time, Master Huang Long had seen through the clues, and he sneered and raised his palm. The evil power of the outer god turned into a poisonous dragon and entangled the blade:
“Haha, you are injured and can’t take care of yourself, how can you fight me?”

Li Qingyun’s face was as gloomy as water. He did not argue, but just gritted his teeth and held on.

His sword energy burst out again with great force, forcing back the poisonous dragon-like energy. He then cut off the heads of a wave of Taoists who were blocking his way and moved closer to the blood pool.

Zhenren Huanglong was shocked: Master clearly said that Li Qingyun was seriously injured, but he was still so horrible, this was totally unreasonable.

He gritted his teeth and took out another magic weapon in his arms.

That magic weapon was made from the blood crystal of an alien god and could summon monsters from the cracks to help in battle.

In an instant, a terrifying and ferocious four-armed monster stepped out of the void, roared and pounced towards Li Qingyun, trying to stop him from approaching the blood pool.

Li Qingyun shouted, and the sword flashed with a powerful wave of energy, slashing down head-on. Although the four-armed monster was extremely powerful, he still cut it diagonally from the shoulder to the waist with one sword, and the two halves of the body fell off, and the foul-smelling blood sprayed all over the ground.

Zhenren Huanglong was terrified, thinking that Li Qingyun was truly a killing god, but he refused to back down and chanted spells continuously, determined to complete the blood sacrifice first.

But at this critical moment, a violent magical impact erupted from the side of the valley.

That was because the opposition forces within Yuxu Palace could not bear to see the souls of their compatriots being sacrificed, so they launched a collective attack, trying to break through the defense line of Huanglong Zhenren’s confidants and demolish the blood pool formation pillars.

As a result, the war in the valley continued, exacerbating the instability of the magic circle.

Many monks attacked each other, their Taoist robes fluttering and blood whistling, making the scene even more tragic.

Li Qingyun took the opportunity to kill several guardians around Master Huanglong. Wherever the sword flashed, heads rolled and monsters howled.

Zhenren Huanglong knew that he had to take back control of the altar, so he changed the sinister spell and chose to destroy the hundreds of imprisoned civilians first, hoping to complete this blood sacrifice in a suicide form.

He raised the instrument high and shouted sinisterly:

“My Yuxu Palace cannot obtain a complete blood sacrifice, and I will never allow you living people to interfere. Transform into soul power for me!”

The blood pool suddenly boiled, and a large number of runes flashed purple-red light waves, and it seemed that all the souls in the pool were about to evaporate.

Seeing the people struggling in the dirty blood, Li Qingyun no longer held back and pushed his sword to the limit in one breath.

The seal in his body caused him excruciating pain, and the gray mist nearly took his body away, but he was filled with rage, and he flew up at the same moment the blade flashed a blinding white light.

All I heard was a thunderous roar of a knife, piercing through the air and into my ears.

There was a sudden roar in the sky above the blood pool, as if a divine thunder had descended to the earth, smashing the waves in the pool and cutting off the evil power of Master Huanglong alive.

Then Li Qingyun’s shadow suddenly descended in the darkness like an alien. He formed a semicircular shield with his sword energy, protecting all the living people and blocking the final explosion of the blood pool.

Instantly, smoke and dust rose up, the magic power dissipated, condensed in the air and turned into countless evil lines and breaks, and the light disappeared.

After this interruption, Master Huanglong vomited blood and stepped back several steps, his eyes filled with shock.

Nana said:
“How is it possible… that you still have such a powerful attack?”

Li Qingyun did not answer, but just raised his hand and waved, protecting the injured civilians and the rebel Taoist priests to a safe place.

Then the tip of the knife turned and stared coldly at Master Huang Long:

“I will not allow any more innocent blood to be shed.”

Huang Long Zhenren looked ferocious:

“Heh, you are just a mortal. Even if you are so arrogant as to think you are a true god, how can you resist the advent of an alien god?”

Before he finished speaking, a black light suddenly shone from his palm, merging with the remaining blood pool formation. A stronger outer god wave surged out, as if a giant monster under the deep sea was awakening.

Li Qingyun felt something was wrong and was about to draw his sword to stop it.

However, at this moment, a hurried shout came from outside the valley:

“Sir, the monsters have joined forces with Master Huanglong’s men. We can’t hold on any longer!”

It turned out that a large number of remaining Taoists and foreign monsters came to reinforce after hearing the news. They worked together to surround the valley and fiercely attacked Li Qingyun’s soldiers’ defense line.

Some of the opposition Taoist priests were unable to resist and were killed by their cronies or torn apart by monsters, resulting in countless casualties in a short period of time.

This scene made Li Qingyun furious again, but the pain of the seal also became more intense. He could not bear to see those innocent soldiers and Taoists being slaughtered, so he could only turn some of his attention to the periphery.

Zhenren Huanglong smiled sinisterly, seized the opportunity, and began to forcibly catalyze the remaining formation, igniting the last soul fragments in the sacrificial field, wanting to completely merge with the Outer God.

Seeing that a more terrible disaster was about to happen, Li Qingyun could only grit his teeth and prepare for a “two-front war”.

At this moment, all kinds of hatred and anxiety flooded his heart: on one hand, there was the life and death of the soldiers and the masses, and on the other hand, there was the ultimate sacrifice of Master Huanglong.

The seal inside him throbbed and rumbled, like a roar – as if tempting him to say:

“Release me… let me help you crush everything…”

However, he remained calm, and when he raised the sword, he unleashed a powerful sword force, and a “Sword Shattering the Sky” move slammed towards Zhenren Huanglong and the core of his evil formation.

The force penetrated the ground, stirring up dust and blood mist.

Countless monsters and loyal Taoist priests were crushed to pieces on the spot. Seeing the fierce force coming, Huang Long Zhenren hurriedly held the outer god’s magic weapon in front of him. The magic weapon collided with the knife light and sparks flew, but in the end it could not stop the killing force. He was forcibly pushed back dozens of steps, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again.

Wang Xuanfu and others also took the opportunity to rush into the center of the battlefield, working together to intercept the foreign monsters, trying to cover Li Qingyun and cut off the basic magic circle of Huanglong Zhenren.

But even though Huang Long Zhenren was repelled, he still continued to grin:
“Li Qingyun, do you think that you can stop the great plan of our Dao Sect and the Outer Gods with just a knife? Sacrificing these human beings is nothing, what I will get is the supreme authority of the Three Realms!”

He chanted the spell frantically, using all his strength to activate the remaining energy of the formation, and distorted the remaining souls in the blood pool again.

I saw a dark vortex appear in the air, and the aura of the crack was madly infused inward, forming some kind of horrible black hole, swallowing up the surrounding rubble and corpses.

Li Qingyun secretly thought that this was not good: If this move was completed thoroughly, it might summon an outer god of the supreme god level to come, or open another abyss passage here.

In the moment of life and death, he once again displayed the ultimate sword light.

The gray fog in the seal felt as painful as a knife cutting him, but he did not retreat.

Amid the roar, the sword energy rolled out a golden and white flame like the scorching sun, and slashed straight into the center of the black hole vortex.

When Master Huanglong saw that the situation was not good, his pale face was filled with fear, but he still rushed forward with all his might, hoping to borrow the power of the external gods to resist.

In that split second, the golden and white and the pitch-black colors collided in mid-air, and the loud noise shook the mountains and fields.

Countless people were blown away or crashed into rocks, and blood rained down in the night sky.

When the dust cleared, most of the black hole had disintegrated and the blood pool had completely collapsed.

Li Qingyun half-knelt on the ground, with a trickle of blood spurting out of his mouth.

He took a breath and tried his best to hold the sword upright.

On the other hand, Zhenren Huanglong also fell not far away, his life force was extinguished, and his shattered divinity was quietly suspended in the air, and was taken in by Li Qingyun’s hand.

Eventually, the Taoist altar here was completely destroyed, and the large-scale sacrificial ceremony was disrupted, which was considered a conspiracy to rescue the remaining souls of hundreds of civilians and the Taoist rebels.

Although Master Huanglong has been executed, many remnants of Yuxu Palace have already fled far away, and it is unknown what evil deeds they will commit in the future.

Wang Xuanfu and others wanted to persuade Li Qingyun to pursue the enemy again, but they saw that he was pale and full of stubbornness in pain. In the end, they could only stabilize the situation first. After all, the adult was in critical condition and it was difficult to force him.

The battle of internal and external resistance continues in the valley.

Seeing the main formation destroyed, many Taoists changed their stance or simply turned to the light to help the soldiers clear the last traces of monsters and evil magic.

Blood flowed like a river, many people of conscience sacrificed their lives to stop the henchmen, and some people burst into tears.

The Yuxu Palace was eventually torn apart beyond repair, with former fellow disciples now turning their swords against each other, and the palace was in ruins inside and outside.

The sun rose again, and the valley and the pool of blood had already turned into smoke and dust.

Li Qingyun returned to the camp with injuries, but he did not relax for a moment.

He knew that the darkness of the collusion between Taoism and foreign gods was far from limited to this place, and there was a much larger conspiracy lurking in the shadows.

The power that Master Huanglong used briefly just now may be just the tip of the iceberg.

The outer gods’ erosion of the three realms became more and more serious, and the slumber of “silence” in his body was shaken again and again.

Taking advantage of the civil unrest in the human world, the outer gods will surely speed up their preparations and prepare for the final battle.

In the camp, the soldiers were busy treating the newly wounded and settling the civilians rescued from the battlefield.

Some people looked at Li Qingyun in awe as he sat outside the military tent, his body covered in blood but his expression solemn.

Although everyone was worried that his hidden injury would worsen, they admired him even more for his unparalleled courage in encircling and destroying the Taoist strongholds.

At least this time the terrible sacrificial array was destroyed and more lives of compatriots were saved.

Someone reported to Li Qingyun:

“The rebels in the Dao Sect are willing to bring more intelligence, saying that the hidden main nest of Yuxu Palace still exists, and a larger ceremony is still in the works… If we don’t stop them, the outside gods may use this to enter the core of the Three Realms.”

Li Qingyun only nodded slightly, but his face was filled with murderous intent.

The cooperation between the Taoist sect and the foreign gods has reached the point of a fight to the death. No matter how hurt or painful he is, he has no choice.

The mountains and fields are quiet, the dark clouds have dispersed but the haze remains.

The bloody sun hung in the eastern sky, like a half-open devil’s eye.

The world has just gone through this battle, with desolate land everywhere, but the Yuxu Palace’s greater conspiracy is still unstoppable.

After the death of Master Huanglong, will the Taoist Tianzun join forces with the leaders of the outer gods to launch the ultimate battle?
Or will they launch more extensive cruel sacrifices and expand the blood oath of ten thousand souls?
No one can give an answer.

Li Qingyun’s fingers holding the knife turned white, but he secretly made up his mind: At this point, even if the seal could break out at any time, he couldn’t let the Taoist sect sacrifice the people in exchange for the benefits of the outside gods.

If he does not stop it, the world will be devastated.

The rise of the foreign gods is unstoppable, and the subversion of the imperial court by the Yuxu Palace is imminent. A “big break” is inevitable, and the ultimate conspiracy that follows has quietly taken root.

By evening, screams from Mu Guiying and He Xiangu were heard from the military tent.

There is new battle report from the front, saying that the leader of the outer gods may descend to a place where the three realms intersect, and the Yuxu Palace is searching for the souls of the people everywhere to provide what is needed at the last moment of the sacrificial ceremony.

Upon hearing the news, the entire camp was in an uproar again, and everyone was filled with a gloomy fear.

Li Qingyun immediately stepped forward with a sword, his eyes filled with a cold light:
“Gather the troops and prepare for the battle. Even if the Three Realms are in turmoil, we must not allow the Outer Gods to become powerful and allow the Dao Sect to seize the world.”

These words were powerful, but people had no way of guessing how many crises he would face next, nor how long the seal could last.

However, they clearly saw that the determination in Li Qingyun’s eyes never wavered.

As long as he still has a breath of sword light, he will once again cross the wind and rain and cut off those dirty conspiracies.

In the dead of night, the sky was filled with purple lightning, and perhaps countless monsters and evil spells were secretly gathering in the distance.

The cooperation between Yuxu Palace and the outer gods has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, but it has already shaken countless towns and turned them into bloody disasters.

If more powerful measures are not taken quickly, the next round of impact may cause the entire Song Dynasty to collapse.

In this night of blood and fire, silent conspiracies and the smell of gunpowder swirl in the sky, tightly entangling people’s hearts like poisonous snakes.

Even though Li Qingyun was furious, he still had to face unprecedented crises: the deeper power of the Outer Gods, the hidden cards of the Jade Void Palace, and the increasingly restless undercurrent of “Silence”…

The night wind howled, and the cracks and the Taoist temple in the distance were shrouded in darkness.

The great split is inevitable. If the ultimate conspiracy continues to ferment, how much blood will be shed in the world?

Perhaps only Li Qingyun can once again raise his knife in desperate situations to see if he can turn into the toughest reef in the torrent and crush this undercurrent.

……

In a vague and illusory world…

The starlight suddenly disappeared, and the clouds were as dark as a cover.

In the hall of Yuxu Palace, several sub-gods of the “Hedao” realm who had been defeated by Li Qingyun were trying their best to heal their wounds, flipping through classics and magic weapons, while grinning grimly: with a few more towns and tens of thousands of souls, the true Lord of the Outer Gods could be awakened. By then, the Three Realms would be jointly controlled by Yuxu Palace and the Outer Gods, and what would Li Qingyun be?

In the middle of the night, the candlelight illuminated their twisted smiles, and they stared into the eyes of the monsters hidden in the shadows, exchanging bloody murderous intent.

No one can predict the outcome of this great turmoil.

All we know is that at the next dawn, the human world will have to face more summons from the abyss and more sacrificial evils. Li Qingyun will be unable to endure the pain and oppression of the seal and will set off a more heroic storm.

And that never-ending breath of despair kept flowing in the darkness, waiting for the most appropriate moment – to deal a severe blow to this “Three Realms Split” and let all the immortals and gods sink into it.

Life and death, good and evil, and conspiracy are becoming increasingly intense.

Thus, a new prelude to blood and fire officially begins.

Yuxu Palace betrayed and joined forces with the Outer Gods. There is no turning back. Li Qingyun, with his sealed body, is furious and fights again and again to defend the Great Wall of Mankind, but he has to face the aftermath of the catastrophe which will become more and more severe.

When the ultimate conspiracy takes shape, can there be an even more stunning sword light that tears everything apart?
Or will all prosperity eventually be destroyed, leaving only gray fog to engulf everything?

In this cruel curtain of darkness, the stars seemed to be dim, and only the blood moon appeared from time to time, indicating that a catastrophe was difficult to prevent.

During the intermission, the soldiers gritted their teeth and dared not delay; Li Qingyun might embark on the next journey at any time to destroy more sacrificial sites hidden in the wilderness or deep in the city.

All the pain and anger has been brewing, waiting to explode.

As the night deepens, faint cries can be heard on the wind, or laughter from the abyss.

The collusion between Yuxu Palace and the outer gods has shaken the foundations of the human world, turning into a heavy shadow hanging over the heads of the people. Now let’s see if Li Qingyun can reproduce his unparalleled sword power and cut off the shackles of heaven against the current.

The ambiguous battle of fate has entered a more sinister scene…

……
