Battle Against Three Kings

Li Guanqi grinned ferociously, raising his hand to summon both Pengluo and Jiuxiao. Jiuxiao’s colossal form now spanned over thirty zhang in length. A terrifying dragon might saturated the void as the massive dragon coiled across the sky, his dark-golden dragon eyes fixed upon the figures before them with murderous intent. Pengluo also knew that the current situation looked grim, so he simply turned himself into a walking apothecary. With a beckoning wave of his little hands, plump white radishes condensed into being, and he hurled seven or eight to each person. With hands on his hips, he pointed at the three Heavenly Kings in the distance and cursed, "Shameless bastards! Who the hell do you think you are, daring to speak to my master like that? If you don't have a mirror, haven't you at least pissed to see your own reflection? Look at what pathetic scoundrels you are before shouting at my master!" Li Guanqi clearly noticed the faces of the three figures in the distance darken... Ye Feng quickly clamped a hand over Pengluo's mouth and said, "Bro Luo, Bro Luo, sometimes you really don't have to protect your master so aggressively..." Pengluo gave it some thought and realized that made sense. Sensing the boundless auras of the three Heavenly Kings, a wave of lingering fear washed over him. When he caught Lu Xuan's murderous gaze, he turned on his heel and darted straight back into the sword coffin. Inside, Pengluo’s eyes flickered with sharp light. Looking at the woman leaning lazily against the stone wall in the distance, he wailed, "Sword Spirit Big Sister~ Someone out there is bullying Master~" Running forward, Pengluo spread his arms wide, preparing to leap into her embrace. The sword spirit merely cast a sidelong glance at him and swung her hand, sending him flying with a single slap. *Bang!* Pengluo slammed into the stone wall with a dull thud and slid slowly down against it. The sword spirit’s beautiful eyes shifted slightly as she looked down at Pengluo and murmured softly, "Just who are you, really?" Pengluo stood up, dusted off his clothes, and grinned. "Who I was doesn't matter. Right now, I'm me—I'm Pengluo." The corners of the sword spirit’s mouth curled slightly as she asked softly, "Then do you know who I am?" Sitting on the ground, Pengluo gave a somewhat timid, goofy laugh. "I don't want to guess, I can't guess, and I dare not guess." A trace of a smile surfaced on the sword spirit's face, and she shook her head without another word. *Boom!* The battle erupted in an instant! Even though the three Heavenly Kings sensed the terrifying power of the dharma artifacts around Li Guanqi and his companions, they showed not the slightest retreat. Today, Li Guanqi and the others had to die! *Boom!* Li Guanqi gripped Yanluo and instantly unleashed his Apocalypse stance! Sword intent erupted as he took a fierce stride forward, charging straight toward Lu Xuan! Jiuxiao followed close behind. One man and one dragon charged forth in an instant! Xiao Chen and Ye Feng exchanged a look, nodded slightly, and lunged straight toward Eastern Heavenly King Duan Ming! Seeing this, Duan Ming sneered. He vanished from his spot with a teleportation and swung his iron fan brutally toward Ye Feng! "Overestimating your own strength!" With a savage expression, Ye Feng muttered, "Overestimating our strength? Purgatory... Open!" *Boom!* In an instant, waves of wildly violent power erupted from within Ye Feng, and half of his face twisted into the grotesque semblance of an evil ghost! A terrifying pressure burst forth! Even Meng Wanshu was taken aback by this sight. Xiao Chen's eyes widened even further. He had never imagined that Ye Feng had still been holding back under their earlier circumstances! "What is with these two damn brothers?! Are they really not afraid of saving their trump cards so long they die before using them?!" Yet even as Xiao Chen cursed, his hands did not slow in the least. Twisting his waist, he slashed the Blood God Spear repeatedly like a razor-sharp blade at Duan Ming. After being repelled by the impact, he harnessed the rebound, spinning the spear to thrust it forward with tremendous force! That ferocious thrust forced Duan Ming back by more than a hundred zhang! Narrowing his eyes, Duan Ming finally reined in his contempt. The remaining Heavenly King, Nangong Xi, stared at Meng Wanshu. She felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar, yet she could not recall where she had seen her. But when she saw the pride and disdain in Meng Wanshu's eyes—a haughtiness that far surpassed her own—an irritation flared in her chest. Meng Wanshu harbored no favorable feelings toward these Heavenly Kings either. These people cared only about their own face. If they truly possessed the compassion to avoid the death of a fellow Heavenly King like Cao Zhennan, they would never have chosen to stand by idly before! She refused to believe that the other three Domain Kings had known nothing about an event of that magnitude. Even when Cao Yan was suffering back then, they had all chosen to look on with cold detachment! Meng Wanshu held an ice-blue longsword, her presence utterly intimidating! Though both were in the late Void Refining Realm, Meng Wanshu appeared remarkably calm. Nangong Xi watched Meng Wanshu with a chilling expression, just about to speak. Meng Wanshu raised a hand to freeze the world in frost, her face cold as she cut her off: "You talk too much." *Rumble!* In an instant, the void across a hundred li of the firmament shattered! Seven Void Refining Realm powerhouses, along with a rank-six true dragon great demon... The void trembled, and a raging storm of spiritual energy enveloped heaven and earth. Every onlooker was shaken to the core. What they were witnessing today was almost too much for them to process... These few outsiders had thoroughly turned the Xuanmen Domain upside down! *Clang! Clang! Clang!* Lu Xuan's face was as dark as stagnant water. He was practically pressing Li Guanqi into a defensive fight. After all, he was a Void Refining Realm powerhouse who had cultivated for ages; in Li Guanqi's perception, Lu Xuan's aura was already extraordinarily close to the Great Perfection stage. Li Guanqi instantly circulated the Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppressing Art, and his terrifying physical strength surged through several tiers at once! Under this immense power, the webbing between Lu Xuan's thumb and index finger tore as he gripped his sword, allowing Li Guanqi to reverse his disadvantage. Teaming up with Jiuxiao from front and back, Li Guanqi launched a frenzied assault on Lu Xuan. Explosions echoed endlessly in the void, accompanied by the ceaseless ringing of clashing steel. Jiuxiao's terrifying physical might suppressed Lu Xuan even further. By now, Lu Xuan was covered in claw marks; had he not been wearing precious armor, he would have been severely wounded long ago. Yet Lu Xuan's strength was formidable in its own right. How could anyone who rose to become a Heavenly King of a domain be weak? *Boom!* Sword light faded as Jiuxiao spat dragon breath capable of obliterating all things. Lu Xuan unleashed powerful sword techniques in rapid succession, forcing Li Guanqi into constant defense. *Bang!* Blown backward by the blast, Li Guanqi borrowed the momentum to retreat. Immediately after, the phantom image of Yanluo behind Li Guanqi seemed to fuse completely with his body. Lu Xuan's brow furrowed tightly. His eyes quivering, he retreated violently while slashing his sword to unleash several horrifying sword beams! "Myriad Edge Profound Light Sword!" In an instant, the chilling sword light multiplied into tens of thousands of beams, sweeping toward Li Guanqi like a tempest! Terrifying sword qi ravaged the void, his momentum surging boundlessly as his Sword Gall Realm sword intent carried tens of thousands of sword beams in an immediate assault! The moment the Yanluo phantom merged into his flesh, black mist suddenly spread through Li Guanqi's eyes. In that instant, an illusory vision of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood unfolded before Lu Xuan's sight. Li Guanqi gripped his sword in his left hand, the veins on his arm bulging as his muscles drew taut. "Heaven Shatterer: Immortal Slayer!" *Boom!* An eerie, resplendent sword light burst forth! *Clang, clang, clang!* Countless sword blades collided against that beam of light, erupting in a frantic, dense barrage of metallic shrieks. Right on the heels of that, a streak of red light flashed out from the sword coffin. Li Guanqi leaped backward several dozen zhang, reversing his wrists to slot both swords into their scabbards! At that moment, even someone as formidable as Lu Xuan felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, a chill running straight up his spine to the crown of his head. With a chilling expression, Li Guanqi stared sharply at the man. Both swords leaped from their sheaths! "Apocalypse: Sword Draw Stance!" A dual-sword Apocalypse: Sword Draw Stance—two brilliant sword beams cleaved across the firmament like flashing swans! The two figures crossed paths in midair, and both of Lu Xuan's shoulders and arms were sliced clean off in an instant. The sword beams Lu Xuan had unleashed shattered repeatedly. As twin sword lights flashed without pause, Lu Xuan was beaten until he had no strength left to fight back... A stick of incense later, Li Guanqi—covered in countless sword marks from that storm of myriad blades—walked slowly into view. In his grip, he dragged a man as limp as a dead dog. The battles on the other two sides had also concluded. This time, Ye Feng and Xiao Chen were both heavily injured, while Duan Ming's hair was completely disheveled and his fan had been torn to pieces by the pair. Meng Wanshu dragged Nangong Xi by the hair as she stepped slowly out of the void, her gaze meeting Li Guanqi's. The two smiled at each other, and then the group dumped the three Heavenly Kings straight down. None of them had killed their opponents. Killing Cao Zhennan was one thing, but if they killed the other three, the Xuanmen Domain Lord would likely be provoked to genuine fury. Primal energy surged through Li Guanqi's body. His chest heaved slightly as he said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
