C435 Li Shaoyu's Determination
In just a short three days, more than ten second-grade powers had been destroyed. Everyone finally panicked. The second-grade powers all asked for help from the first-grade powers. All the first-grade powers were extremely busy, and all of them were on guard in their own territories. They organized the Air-breaking Stage Mightys to form a rescue team, and kept an eye on the movements of the second-grade powers. If anything went wrong, they would immediately rush to the rescue team, causing all the forces to be in danger.
Lee Shaoyu brought his men back to the Huanyu Alliance. Currently, the Huanyu Alliance was still under the control of the Divine Alliance, so it was relatively safe. However, Lee Shaoyu already had the intention to break off with the Divine Alliance, so he had to make preparations in advance. In the name of returning to the Sword-management Villa to acknowledge his ancestors, Lee Shaoyu had transferred Hsingyue Qing and his children to the Sword-management Villa to relieve his worries.
However, soon, there was bad news. The second-grade force of the Dongxuan State, the Medicine King Valley, was attacked by the Divine Alliance. The Medicine King Valley sent a messenger to ask for help. Lee Shaoyu immediately gathered all the higher-ups in the meeting hall to discuss countermeasures.
"Elder Liu, do you think we should take action?" Lee Shaoyu looked at Lau Yuntao first. After all, he was San Zang's loyal subordinate.
"Alliance Master, we should naturally take action. Otherwise, other powers will suspect us as well." Lau Yuntao said in a deep voice.
"Alright. Let's go now." Lee Shaoyu said in a deep voice. It was useless to send reinforcements like this. What they needed was a true Mighty. Currently, Expert of Air-breaking Stage of the Huanyu Alliance wasn't even counted on five fingers. It could be said that he was the weakest among all of them.
However, when they arrived at the Medicine King Valley, they saw a hellish scene. There was no longer a single living person in the entire valley. There were bloody corpses all over the place. Moreover, the dead bodies were in an extremely miserable state. Their bodies were shriveled and their life-force essence was severely drained. It was obvious that they had been extracted.
"This... is really too cruel..." Lee Shaoyu looked at the hell of death in front of him. His body was trembling with excitement. The scene in front of him was just too miserable. The entire mountain was filled with the smell of blood. The ground was completely dyed red, causing him to suffer a huge impact. This was not an equal fight, but a one-sided slaughter!
"This is just a preview. In the future, more people will die. Perhaps all the people on the continent will die, including us. This is a war!" Lau Yuntao said with a sigh.
"Let's go back." Lee Shaoyu couldn't bear to watch any longer. He immediately soared into the sky and turned around to return. He wanted to try his best to stop all of this, but it was too early. It was hard to say whether his cultivation base could protect himself in this chaotic situation. There was no need to talk about stopping all of this.
After returning to the Huanyu Alliance, Lee Shaoyu announced that he would go into seclusion. He would leave the matters in the alliance to Lin Zaitian and Lau Yuntao to take care of. He would exchange all the Contribution Values for various Spirit Materialss and lock them in his room. He hoped that his strength would improve a little more.
Unfortunately, it was already heaven defying for him to reach this realm at his age. After three months of seclusion, the growth of his cultivation base was still limited. Now, apart from the Immortal-rank and Immortal-rank Spirit Materialss, the other Spirit Materialss were no longer of much help to him. However, it was too difficult to find these two types of Spirit Materialss.
Very soon, Lee Shaoyu came out of seclusion and learned a piece of shocking news. The Heavenly-sword Continent was now in complete chaos. After destroying more than fifty second-grade powers, San Zang finally extended his hand to a first-grade power. Taking advantage of the six Expert of Air-breaking Stage from the Taiji Sect to rescue a second-grade power under his command, he went straight to the Taiji Sect and destroyed it.
The destruction of the Taiji Sect had undoubtedly alerted all the first-grade powers who were fighting on their own. A first-grade power alone was no match for the Divine Alliance. Therefore, under the call of the Heavenly-sword Palace, the Heavenly Sword Alliance was formed. All the powers of the Heavenly-sword Continent gathered in the Heavenly Sword Province to have a final battle with the Divine Alliance. However, at this moment, the Divine Alliance suddenly disappeared. However, everyone knew that this wasn't because San Zang was afraid, but because he was brewing a bigger storm in the dark.
Because of Lee Shaoyu's seclusion, it was Lau Yuntao who represented the Huanyu Alliance to the Heavenly-sword Palace. Lee Shaoyu couldn't help but frown when he heard the news. Lau Yuntao was hiding in the core layer of the Heavenly-sword Alliance, and any news could be obtained by San Zang. It was too disadvantageous to the Heavenly Sword Alliance.
It was time to end the conflict with the Divine Alliance!
Lee Shaoyu knew that it was the most dangerous moment now. Although he could not kill San Zang, he could remove the hidden chess pieces that San Zang had set up in the alliance. First, he had to remove the two spies around him, Heavenly Slaughter Saint Lord and Fairy Yu Xiao! He asked Heavenly Slaughter Saint Lord and Fairy Yu Xiao to meet at the back of the mountain. Soon, the two of them came as promised.
"Shaoyu, what do you have to tell me at the back of the mountain?" Heavenly Slaughter Saint Lord didn't have any guard against Lee Shaoyu at all. He came to his side and asked.
Puff!
Lee Shaoyu did not give him any chance at all. His palm sank into his chest. The Life and Death Picture was released from his body, completely extinguishing his life force! Even at his death, the Heavenly Slaughter Saint did not understand why Lee Shaoyu wanted to kill him!
"What are you doing?!" Fairy Yu Xiao was quite far away from her. Her expression changed drastically. She immediately retreated and tried to escape. She understood what was going on. He was no match for Lee Shaoyu!
"Illusory World!" Lee Shaoyu's blood cloud pupils emitted a misty light. A wave of mental energy was transmitted to the depths of Fairy Yu Xiao's True Spirit. Fairy Yu Xiao's face instantly turned dull as she fell into an illusion.
Puff!
Lee Shaoyu turned into a streak of lightning and arrived. The longsword in his hand had black and white energy circulating around it. He slashed Fairy Yu Xiao in half with his sword, destroying both her body and soul!
"Kid, what are you doing?" The voice of the divine envoy suddenly sounded in Lee Shaoyu's mind. He did not understand why such a change would occur.
"Kill you!" Lee Shaoyu's True Spirit suddenly rushed into the depths of the chaos in his sea of consciousness. He condensed a spiritual sword in his hand and slashed at the divine envoy.
"Kid, are you crazy? You are simply seeking your own destruction!" The Divine Emissary did not panic in the slightest. His body emitted a hazy light, and black symbols appeared one after another. He wanted to destroy Lee Shaoyu's body and True Spirit!
Pu!
However, Lee Shaoyu did not react at all. He directly cut the divine envoy who was still in the ritual into two pieces!
"How... how is this possible? Didn't you participate in the baptism ceremony?" The Oracle widened his eyes and looked at Lee Shaoyu in disbelief. He did not understand why his forbidden spell had failed.
"Go to hell with this question." Lee Shaoyu did not answer the divine envoy's question. A Life and Death Picture was constructed on the surface of his body and enveloped the divine envoy. The divine envoy's spirit was slowly destroyed and turned into the purest soul energy to replenish his body.2
Lee Shaoyu slowly sheathed his sword and buried the bodies of the two. He sat in front of their graves and thought about his next move. These two people were actually pitiful people. They had been chosen by the so-called God and brought here. They had changed their life trajectory. If they were not on opposing sides and could not be changed, he would not have killed them. If he had killed them, he would have felt the sorrow of a rabbit or a fox.
