This person's anger isn't born from being slandered, but from... having the truth exposed!
He took off his bamboo hat. The hat shot through the air, leaving a trail of afterimages like spilt ink. Ten black orbs appeared behind the Boss of Skynet and hurtled towards Ming Daozi.
Ming Daozi blocked the black orbs with a single hand seal. Ripples of power spread out from the impact, forcing several nearby Divinity Transformation elders from the Myriad Dao Immortal Palace to retreat.
Ming Daozi was also pushed back by the force. A spatial fissure, like an open zipper, appeared behind him, causing him to fall inside.
The Boss of Skynet gave chase, roaring in anger, "You hypocritically compassionate bastard! Others are greedy for Spirit Stones—you're greedy for the admiration of the masses!"
"The Master of the Myriad Dao Immortal Palace, who has done nothing for twenty thousand years, emerges in this age of great chaos, spouting righteousness about punishing evil and promoting good!"
"You must have really enjoyed it when all the clans of the Duravia Trade Prefecture obeyed your command, didn't you? Like a savior, branding utterly treacherous villains like us as evildoers—you must have enjoyed that, too, right?"
"You were pleased for a long time when you captured the God of War, weren't you? Did you know, goddammit, that he just wanted to go home?!!!"
The fissure closed.
Ming Daozi's panicked roar came from within.
"This humble Daoist did not! You will not throw my heart and soul into turmoil!"
"You are all traitors!"
...
The 'traitors' were charging into battle!
With the Void Refining cultivators gone, the other Li family cultivators no longer had any regard for the rules of the world.
"Li Yaozu of the Li family, follow me into the vast sky for a battle!"
An elder from some unknown sect had already soared into the air, roaring down at Li Yaozu.
Below, Li Yaozu's sword box opened. A longsword floated out from it and landed in his hand.
Seemingly in response to the voice of the peak Divinity Transformation elder in the sky, Li Yaozu simply glanced up, then suddenly rode his sword into the air.
"Fine!"
He had said "Fine," but once he was in mid-air and the cultivators below were no longer paying him any mind, Li Yaozu—who had just leaped into the sky—suddenly plunged back toward the ground.
Forty years!
His swordsmanship had not progressed, but his cultivation base had.
Li Yaozu's Primordial Spirit was a sword itself. His body became a sword phantom as he charged into the city, just as he had on the day he killed Daoist Zhen—only this time, he was far faster.
Back then, the Heavenly Star Sword Saint had asked him the name of this sword technique, and he had replied, "Nameless." But now...
"Lawless!"
Who cares for a thousand principles or the rules of the world?
This sword kills enemies. Forged in the snowy wastes, it fuses all the rules within his Sword Heart. As long as it can kill, that is enough!
This sword strike, which fused his body's entire strength into a single point, descended, startling all the cultivators.
They had originally thought Li Yaozu would ascend into the sky to duel the elder, but who could have known that this mid-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator would be so shameless as to execute a feint.
Moreover, by the time everyone looked up, Li Yaozu was like a meteor streaking across the sky.
A seven-colored radiance bloomed from the tip of his sword.
This light was not only blindingly brilliant, but it also coalesced spiritual power, interfering with the probes of their Divine Souls.
The elder who had already ascended had his expression change drastically. "You... shameless!!!"
But by the time he tried to give chase, it was already too late.
Li Yaozu's sword box rattled as longswords poured out like rain, floating in the sky. They descended along with him, and the entire city was filled with their radiance!
The Lawless Sword was a sword of a single, fatal strike.
But the way of the sword is also one of deception, and Li Yaozu had other sword techniques. His sword box contained more than just a single sword!
BOOM!!!
The cultivators below hadn't expected this sudden attack and could only hastily form arrays to defend themselves.
Numerous Divinity Transformation cultivators charged toward Li Yaozu.
This strike didn't just stun the entire city.
Even the Old Man, who was charging behind Li Yaozu and had manifested his Bodhisattva form to fight a Divinity Transformation elder in the sky, was left frozen in place.
BOOM!!!
As the longswords descended, dust and smoke filled the sky. An unknown number of people lost their lives beneath that single sword strike.
"Kill!"
That one attack made all the cultivators present cast aside the established rules of the world.
Li Dalong had already taken out his official seal as Prefecture Lord, Giant serpents coiled around his left and right arms!
The Heaven-Piercing Coffin's Boundless Sea of the Dead had already been sent to hold back the various clans of the Duravia Trade Prefecture.
Those Corpse Emperors were not present, but Li Dalong's Heaven-Piercing Coffin still held other combat forces.
"Heaven-Piercing Coffin, emerge! Summon the Yin Souls!"
"Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Jade Formation, open the Gates of the Underworld, and call forth the Netherworld Gods to battle!"
The Heaven-Piercing Coffin opened once more!
Countless Yin Souls poured out from it, and the sky grew dim again as the spirits appeared in every direction.
As Li Dalong formed an incantation seal, a spiritual formation floated before him.
Black runes coalesced in the sky where the Yin Souls gathered, and a total of nine gates—both menacing and magnificent—swung open.
From an unknown origin, a Netherworld God at the peak of the Divinity Transformation realm emerged.
This Netherworld God was tens of meters tall. Its upper body was bare, wreathed in black mist, with a green face and long fangs. It held a long chain in its hand.
The Netherworld God, summoned by this official's technique, had already charged into the city!
Li Dalong roared, "Follow Yaozu's example—charge!"
