Chapter 72 - 69 Bright Moon Rising, True Form



Chapter 72: Chapter 69 Bright Moon Rising, True Form

Seeing Li Hao descending from the sky, Li Yuanzhao and the others, who were being intimidated by the demon crowd, were all astonished.

Yu Wei’s mouth hung open, and his eyes almost bulged out, staring at Li Hao as if he’d seen a ghost.

“You’re here too?”

Li Hao hadn’t expected to encounter them in the west of the city. Weren’t they supposed to be on a patrol mission? Why had they run over here?

He glanced at Cui Fan, who had an expression of suffering, clearly very reluctant.

Li Hao then looked at Wei Feng, a man he was not unfamiliar with, having followed them all the way.

“You…”

Wei Feng stared blankly at Li Hao, being at the Fifteen Li Realm himself, he naturally could tell that the two who had arrived through the air were not led by Yue Shuhong, but by the young man in front of him.

Was this guy that he and Li Fu had been following and protecting the whole way actually at the Fifteen Li Realm?!

A higher realm than even Li Fu?!!

Who the hell was protecting whom?

Wei Feng felt his brain go numb. Having descended the mountain to wander the Jianghu while in the Divine Travel Realm, he considered himself to have seen a broad range of people and met countless geniuses, but… someone so young at the Fifteen Li Realm?

Unheard of!

It was said that the descendants of the Divine General Mansion were all monsters, but even monsters hadn’t reached this extent, right?

“The demons are coming!”

Just then, someone said nervously.

Everyone’s gaze immediately turned towards the city ramparts, where the rapidly advancing demons had already come within range of the archers.

“Fire the arrows!!”

The commander here, a middle-aged man around the eighth or ninth level of the Soul Succession Realm, immediately bellowed.

Countless arrows rained down like a black downpour, these being specially made arrows that held the power to ward off evil and subdue demons.

Under the barrage of arrow rain, quite a number of demons were injured, but even more of them continued their charge despite the arrows.

“Demon Suppressing Formation!”

The commander bellowed once more.

More than ten mystic-robed Demon Suppressing Masters hurried to the high platform on the city ramparts. Each conjured up their respective Divine Souls, which had different appearances. They held hands, their Soul Power connecting in fluctuating waves to maintain some kind of balance as they prepared to cast the array.

Li Hao looked at the demons that were closing in, now less than a hundred meters from the city walls, and then turned his head to glance at the sword in Ren Qianqian’s hand.

“Let me borrow your sword for a moment,” he said.

Ren Qianqian came to her senses, staring blankly at Li Hao for a moment, still somewhat in disbelief of the terrifying Cultivation Level he had just revealed.

Seeing Li Hao reach out to borrow the sword, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the sword sheath, asking, “Do you know how to use a sword?”

Throughout their journey on horseback, she had never seen him carry any weapon.

“A little,” Li Hao nodded.

He had joined the Jianghu in such a hurry that he had not brought a sword with him.

If he were to enter the Jianghu again, he’d certainly remember to bring the treasured sword given to him by his second elder.

Ren Qianqian hesitated somewhat, as a swordsman’s sword is never far from their side, especially since she treasured and cherished her own sword.

But given the dire situation of the battle, she knew that Li Hao had exceptional Cultivation Level but lacked a weapon.

After a moment’s hesitation, she still handed the sword to Li Hao.

Sshing.

Li Hao nonchalantly pulled out the sword, a longsword that shimmered like autumn water as it left its sheath.

At that moment, the sword blade vibrated, as if awakening, emitting a sword cry, with a white light flickering along the blade and humming resoundingly.

Li Hao turned, sword in hand, and stepped out, standing in mid-air about ten meters beyond the city ramparts.

His figure, suspended in the air, immediately caught the eyes of the many soldiers atop the city walls, who were all shocked. To stand in mid-air was a sign of the Fifteen Li Realm!

Their city defender, Yue Shuhong, was only in the Divine Travel Realm, not yet at the Fifteen Li!

“Bright Moon… Rising!”

Li Hao murmured softly.

In the past five years, he naturally had also perused the last three sword techniques in “Endless Sea.”

Endless Sea had a total of four moves.

They were Tides, Severing River, Bright Moon Rising, Endless Sea.

At this moment, he wielded the third of these supreme sword techniques in his hand, a move second only to the ultimate one.

Bright Moon Rising!

In an instant, everyone on the city wall seemed to see a bright moon rising from Li Hao’s palm.

The glittering longsword had vanished, leaving only the dazzling, silver-white moon, full and blinding, coalescing from Li Hao’s hand before slowly rising as if over the sea, flying towards the horde of demons.

Layer upon layer, the true form!

While everyone was immersed in the beauty of this moon, it swept into the midst of the demons, and as its light unfurled, the countless demon shadows, like darkness dispelled by light, seemed to ebb away like the tide.

But in reality, they didn’t just retreat. They were annihilated!

“This sword technique…”

Ren Qianqian’s pupils contracted, her beautiful face showing a look of startled shock; she couldn’t believe the sight of the young swordsman’s silhouette.

The godlike moon stirred her to an indescribable level of astonishment.

Was that really… swordsmanship?!

Those equally shaken, besides Ren Qianqian, included Yue Shuhong and Wei Feng.

Only now did Yue Shuhong realize that Li Hao had not used his full strength when he had previously slain the Tiger Robe Immortal, not even one-tenth of it.

Just this radiantly magnificent sword technique alone could alarm the entire Qi State!

“This sword technique…” Wei Feng’s eyes were lost in a trance, Ren Qianqian’s father was a swordsmanship grandmaster, but even then, he seemed to have never seen his master execute such a stunning display of swordsmanship.

The clear and dazzling bright moon, on this western city battleground, was so eye-catching. When that dreamlike moon disappeared, everyone gradually came to their senses, and only then did they suddenly realize that they were still in the midst of battle, still atop the battlefield!

But as the soldiers were drawing their bows and readying their arrows, they all suddenly froze.

Within several hundred meters range in front of the city wall, where were any demons left?!

The ground was littered with nothing but the wreckage and torn remains of demonic corpses!

And the demon blood spilled all over the ground like a splash of paint!

With a single sword strike, he had cleared out nearly a mile radius of demons!

The battlefield that was once filled with the raucous howls and shrill cries of demons had, in the blink of an eye, become so silent you could hear a pin drop!

Not just the soldiers on the city wall were stunned; the demons farther away gearing up to charge were also dumbstruck. Their once unstoppable, avalanche-like momentum abruptly came to a halt.

Many demons looked at each other.

Among these demons were Great Demon leaders, on the same plane as the Divine Travel Realm, the same level as the Tiger Robe Immortal.

But at this moment, their eyes revealed horror and fear.

The young figure who stepped out alone, hovering at the edge of the city wall, casually holding his sword, stood there like an incomparable Sword Immortal.

Untouchable!

Li Hao glanced at the demons that had halted in their tracks and without a word, threw his sword, using Sword Control.

The flying sword burst out like a flash of golden light, instantly reaping the lives of over a dozen demons.

Only then did the frozen horde come back to their senses, screaming and scattering in every direction. The formerly formidable offensive had, in a blink, disintegrated, completely vanishing!

The numerous soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded, staring in shock at the silhouette of the youth.

That figure, they would be unable to erase from their minds for the next twenty years, haunting their memories.

The flying sword, like a golden needle, rapidly slaughtered a great number of demons, including the Divine Travel Realm Great Demon in the horde who tried to conceal its aura and escape stealthily. It too caught Li Hao’s attention, and with a flash of his sword, he cut off its head and extinguished its divine soul.

In his presence, Great Demons and common demons seemed to have no difference. All were slain with a single blow!

These sights left Wei Feng on the city wall utterly astonished.

Even if he took action himself, he wouldn’t possibly possess Li Hao’s might. That speed of Sword Control was too fast, at least two to three times quicker than his own!

He immediately thought of the Jiao Demon shot down by the dark light, exactly the same.

Was this… the senior they had all bowed down to on their journey?

What kind of monster was Li Fu escorting?!!
