Chapter 326: 47: The Truth of Husband and Wife, Made Public to the World
The large-scale movement of the devil cultivators has caught the attention of the cultivators in the capital city and its surroundings. Some of the bolder ones quietly come to the sky above the Imperial City, wanting to know what has happened.
“Has Xia’s capital been breached by the Devil Sect, hence the Empress of Xia is doomed?”
“Why do the people of Devil Sect want to kill the Empress of Xia?”
The cultivators who dare to intervene obviously have high cultivation, possessing Initiation Realm cultivation.
A country’s ruler being besieged is definitely a major news event, and all cultivators are waiting for the Immortal Sect to take action and turn the tide.
At the entrance of the Imperial City, a scene of ruin prevails.
The buildings on both sides of the street are crushed, the city gate is dilapidated, and there are several large, conspicuous pits on the ground, filled with many corpses.
Two streaks of light continually collide in the sky.
It’s the ongoing battle between Yu Qinghan and Yang Yuan.
Even though Yang Yuan has reached the Peak of Golden Core, he still struggles somewhat when facing the unstoppable Yu Qinghan.
The blood wings behind him are in tatters, and his blood robe has lost its original luster.
His face is full of solemnity.
Although the opponent’s strength is merely at the Middle Golden Core Stage, she can unleash a terrifying strange force, which moves the spiritual qi from the universe and creates a terrifying wave of energy.
There’s no time for thought as a surge of halberd energy is flung at him again, and the vigorous magic power transforms into a river of flowing halberd energy.
Seeing this, Yang Yuan rapidly defends himself.
He emits a large amount of blood from behind, forming a circular barrier attempting to forcefully evade the onslaught of the halberd energy river.
His Bloody Immortal Sect cultivates with blood, and most of their techniques are related to blood, including his life-bound magical treasure, which is a sinister object refined from the blood of hundreds of demons.
As long as it penetrates a fellow cultivator’s body, it can control the flow of their blood, causing their body to explode, corrode, or even control their flesh body.
But faced with Yu Qinghan’s swelling halberd might, his divine skills are rendered useless.
That’s because he can’t even get close to her!
He can barely manage in long-range combat, but when it comes to close combat, her strength is just too terrifying. Her abundant magic power doesn’t resemble a cultivator at the Middle Golden Core stage, rather, it’s on par with the Rebirth Realm’s magic power. A random sweep of her halberd could cause his palm to ache.
With a powerful swing of Yu Qinghan’s halberd, she leaps like a fish, her skirt fluttering, her jet-black hair blowing in the wind as she slashes at Yang Yuan’s face.
“Boom!”
A terrifying blast erupts in the sky.
With a “crack” sound, the blood shield is shattered.
Yang Yuan’s body is sent flying backward, clutching his chest, coughing incessantly. He barely manages to stand up, his eyes filled with horror.
His hands tremble uncontrollably.
His palm has already split open, spilling quite a bit of blood.
“Damn! This woman’s combat prowess is astonishing; I, Yang Yuan, have never faced such pressure.”
Yang Yuan’s face darkened in thought.
As one of the seven disciples of the Devil Sect, he was famed and feared, and many fled at the sight of him. But now, he can’t even defeat a woman.
“Your Majesty…”
Seeing Yu Qinghan’s unbeatable figure, Lu Zhu’s eyes did not reveal any joy but were full of concern instead.
She understands that the enemy is only testing her majesty’s strength, and the unfathomable elder has yet to make a move.
Yu Qinghan wielded her heavy blue halberd, striking it to the ground, emitting a crisp sound.
Her clothes were somewhat tattered, but her pair of phoenix eyes remained sharp, full of fighting spirit. She took out numerous healing pills from her storage necklace, swallowed them in one gulp, and took a deep breath.
Even if she can’t hold on, she must continue fighting and make the enemy pay a heavy price.
“Devil Sect scoundrels, do you still not know death?”
Yu Qinghan’s ridiculing words ignited the anger of the surrounding black-robed devil cultivators.
They charged in a group, each unleashing their own divine skills.
“Swoosh!”
But with every swing of Yu Qinghan’s halberd, a black-robed devil cultivator would be forced to retreat several steps, not daring to get within seven steps of her.
Blood Immortal Sect Yang Yuan frowned, adjusted his breath, and hovered in the air, his face impatient.
This Empress of Xia was more difficult to deal with than he had thought. With so many of them suppressing the national fortune qi with the devil formation, they still couldn’t take her down despite their siege.
Yang Yuan’s thoughts wavered, and he lightly nodded at the elder on the city wall.
At this moment, a cold sensation of impending danger came from above the head of Yu Qinghan, who was battling fiercely.
She looked up.
Incredibly, a silver demon ring was directly shot at her. Although it was only the size of a bracelet, in Yu Qinghan’s eyes, it grew larger and larger, as if turning into a Devil Mountain and crashing down with great force!
Yu Qinghan internally cursed. She raised her halberd to block it, swung forcefully, and cleaved out a dark blue halberd qi, colliding with the demon ring. The opponent, however, remained unharmed.
She was forced to retreat ten meters by the shock.
“Little girl, your cultivation is not high, but your strength is astounding. There must be many secrets about you. Even if an Immortal Sect’s the Mighty come here in person today, you are still doomed.”
From atop the city wall, the old man in the black robe spoke indifferently, his words filled with confidence in his own strength.
That’s because every Deacon of the Heavenly Devil Palace is an individual not to be provoked within the Devil Sect.
They had made great contributions to the Heavenly Devil Palace hundreds of years ago or were powerful devil cultivators that the Heavenly Devil Palace had incorporated into their ranks.
One Deacon in the Rebirth Realm could sweep away many second-rate sect powers.
It was obvious that the Devil Sect was well-prepared this time, not only launching an attack on Yan Country’s Nanyu Prefecture but also targeting Xia’s capital city.
The righteous cultivators outside the Imperial City, seeing the unfathomable old man in the black robe make a move, also felt worried in their hearts.
