Chapter 576: Chapter 247: Immortal Wu Xiong, Surrender
Clang......
Once again, Li Xuanling saved an Earth-digging Realm, but the cost was her body being thrown backward seven or eight meters. After forcibly steadying herself, she spat out a mouthful of reverse blood.
Although she successfully pressed Wu Xiong’s Blue Fire Saber down a few more inches, Li Xuanling’s pupils were full of seriousness, even more terrified than during their first encounter.
"Just a moment ago, it was only Twelve Tresses; now it’s almost Eighteen Tresses!"
Eighteen Tresses, that’s essentially the strongest power in Longyou at present.
Li Xuanling could determine this, because of Xia Hong.
Her second uncle Li Tiancheng had fought Xia Hong before, and he had mentioned Xia Hong’s strength being above Seventeen Tresses. During that collision just now, she could clearly sense that the power Wu Xiong unleashed had surpassed Xia Hong.
This is a grotesque creature; it hasn’t even used any tricks yet, and just with physical strength, it can crush the entire Longyou.
This is over!
Only Li Xuanling knew about the change in Wu Xiong’s power; the others, like Li Xuanyan and Hou Tong, unaware of this, rushed forward.
"Don’t force it; it has at least Eighteen Tresses of power."
Seeing this, Li Xuanling immediately shouted a warning.
Unfortunately, this warning was a bit late.
The first to charge was Li Xuanyan, facing the menacing grin of Wu Xiong. Upon hearing Li Xuanling’s words, he tried to retreat in panic.
But how could Wu Xiong let him get away?
Whoosh......
The Blue Fire Saber suddenly slashed down, its terrifying force sending a huge gust of snow mist, enveloping Li Xuanyan’s body in an instant, the saber slicing directly across his waist.
Sizzle......
Unlike Wu Xiong killing those Earth-digging Realm before, where white dewdrops would appear from the wound, when the Blue Fire Saber slashed across Li Xuanyan, a wound appeared first, followed slowly by white dewdrops.
The Cold Resistance Level body was clearly much stronger.
"That Blue Fire Saber is just a phantom created by its flames, meant only to spread plague, lacking substance, so no matter how strong its power is, it can’t cause us real harm!"
Hearing Li Xuandu’s words, the others were originally skeptical.
But in the next second, they immediately believed it.
Because Wu Xiong inhaled with his left hand at the ground, then casually picked up a large saber.
Whoosh......
This time, he slashed at Li Xuanyan with a real saber.
"Elder brother, be careful!"
Li Xuanling and Li Xuandu rushed in from front and back.
The latter blocked Wu Xiong’s left hand saber;
The former used a silver longsword to block Wu Xiong’s right hand Blue Fire Saber;
Li Xuanyan took the opportunity to retreat, holding his waist wound.
Crack...whoosh...
Wu Xiong’s right hand saber collided with Li Xuanling’s longsword, the blue flames on his body shrinking by more than half; meanwhile, his left hand saber was directly broken by Li Xuandu’s dagger.
"The Hundred-forged Great Blade is incomparable to my silver weapon!"
Seeing this, Li Xuandu immediately revealed a hint of joy, then pulled back his dagger, ready to strike at Wu Xiong’s head.
At the same time, Li Xuanling’s sword drew an arc, aiming to decapitate by slicing around Wu Xiong’s neck.
The eight Earth-digging Realm including Hou Tong were not foolish, simultaneously stabbing daggers into the back of Wu Xiong’s skull, piercing through.
Sizzle......
"It’s effective, but why can he just turn into smoke and escape!"
It was the same scenario as before.
Wu Xiong transformed into white smoke, disappearing before their eyes again, followed by more horrific screams coming from the iron gate of the valley.
This signifies a new round of slaughter had begun.
Li Xuandu, following Li Xuanling toward the iron gate, shouted his confusion loudly.
When silverware was inserted into Wu Xiong’s body, they felt clearly that it was indeed burning him, proving that silverware has suppressive and destructive effects on him.
But he always escapes by turning into smoke, what is this...
In this short time, the combined five thousand Earth-digging Realm of the Long Mountain and Zhaoyang families had at least one-third dead. If this killing continues, the losses will be unbearable for both families.
"What to do?"
Upon hearing Li Xuandu’s quiet inquiry, Li Xuanling’s expression turned slightly cold.
Seeing the retreat in Li Xuandu’s eyes, she could naturally understand the meaning behind his words.
This grotesque creature, they couldn’t handle it.
Staying here would likely cost them their own lives as well.
"Hold on a little longer!"
Li Xuanling didn’t speak, only signaling with her eyes.
Li Xuandu followed his gaze and looked over, discovering that the position at the valley’s iron gate was now blocked, mostly by soldiers from Longyou, clothed in black iron armor, and immediately understood Li Xuanling’s intention, nodding heavily.
Their silent exchange did not delay the siege on Wu Xiong.
Killing Wu Xiong was already impossible, but letting him continue his slaughter like this was even less of an option.
His strength would grow with every kill, and once it reached a certain level, not only would Longyou’s army no longer be able to withstand him, even they themselves...
Bang...
Li Xuanling’s worries, along with yet another clash with Wu Xiong, fully turned into reality.
Her sword had already saved people for the third time.
This time, the rescue failed.
Wu Xiong’s Blue Fire Saber directly sent her flying dozens of meters away, her palms split open, body trembling uncontrollably, spitting blood, and even the Earth-digging Realm fighter behind her was pounded into a pulp.
"He’s even stronger than Xia Hong, above twenty-four-maned strength, already more than twice my strength!"
Li Xuanling was no longer minded about the Earth-digging Realm getting killed behind her, instead she kept her peripheral vision on observing the soldiers of Longyou at the iron gate, while cooperating with Li Xuandu and the other nine Cold Resistance Level fighters, frantically entangling Wu Xiong, not giving him the opportunity to slaughter freely.
"Die, you insect crawlers!"
Wu Xiong, which was also that White Dew Gu, seemed to be annoyed at this moment.
He let out a low roar of anger, his Blue Fire Saber bypassed Li Xuanling, furiously striking towards Meng Ying in the crowd.
The reason for targeting Meng Ying was simple, because among the ten Cold Resistance Level, the silver dagger in his hand was the most worn.
The others wanted to rush forward and rescue, but their speed had long been outpaced with Wu Xiong’s strength continuously increasing.
Meng Ying didn’t expect the opponent to pick him, and in a panic attempted to dodge but suddenly received a glance from Li Xuanling.
He immediately understood, gritted his teeth, drew his great knife from his waist, opting to resist Wu Xiong’s strike head-on.
Whoosh...
The blade’s edge arrogantly swept, wild power paired with the roaring blue flame.
The ground’s snow was crazily tossed up dozens of meters, while the remaining ten Cold Resistance Level were all enveloped in snow mist, the earth seemed to even slightly cave under the flame’s impact.
This strike of Wu Xiong was terrifying to the extreme.
Whoosh...
Just as Li Xuandu speculated before, Wu Xiong’s Blue Fire Saber had no substance, only reacting when colliding with silver weapons, directly passing through the thousand-forged great blade Meng Ying had hastily drawn.
Boom...
Blue flame directly pierced through Meng Ying’s chest, and he reacted just like Li Xuanyan earlier when hit by the blade.
Hiss!
His chest suddenly sprouted strings of white dew drops, the dew heating up along with the flame’s burn.
Meng Ying’s complexion also rose to an abnormal flush.
"Jiejiejiejie..."
Swish...
After severely injuring another Cold Resistance Level, Wu Xiong once again emitted the same maniacal, smug laughter, only for his laugh to abruptly cease, alongside the rushing sound of an iron arrow slicing through the air.
A silver iron arrow shot straight from above, coinciding with Wu Xiong’s slash at Meng Ying almost simultaneously, possibly only a breath’s time apart from Wu Xiong’s laughter.
Pfft!
Hiss...
That Divine Archer from Long Mountain, had acted.
Li Xuanling had kept him undercover for this precise moment.
The sound of the iron arrow piercing the skull was exceptionally clear.
Not only Li Xuanling, but also Li Xuandu, Li Xuanyan, Hou Tong, including the other Cold Resistance Levels, all heard it distinctly.
They turned their heads toward Wu Xiong, their eyes filled with hope.
But as smoke billowed from Wu Xiong’s body, the hope in their eyes instantly turned into disappointment, even into... despair.
With strength above twenty-four-maned, unkillable features that grow with continuous killing, this anomaly, was simply insoluble...
"Run!"
Li Xuanling finally gave up.
Li Xuandu and Li Xuanyan reacted fastest, immediately following her in escaping out the iron gate.
Next was Hou Tong, he looked at those near Zhaoyang at the gate who hadn’t escaped yet, bit his teeth, and nodded to a few Cold Resistance Level nearby.
The meaning was clear, they had to run!
Li Xuanling, along with ten Cold Resistance Levels, all ran away.
Inside the valley outside the gourd and the Earth-digging Realm fighters who hadn’t escaped yet, including the few survivors in Hanqiong Station, all instantly fell into despair.
"Help us, my lord."
"Don’t leave us behind, my lord, save us."
"I don’t want to die, save me, save me, wuwuwu..."
"Run, can’t escape anymore, can’t escape anymore!"
