In the void.

With a thought from Shen Changqing, the avatars intimidating the Demon Evils at the four city gates all transformed into pure Essence Blood power and fell back into his hands.

After the battle.

All the power of the Essence Blood had been somewhat depleted, but not to the point of complete dissipation.

Opening his mouth to consume.

Shen Changqing absorbed all four drops of Essence Blood and the spiritual power contained within them back into himself.

Immediately after.

His palm split open, and four new drops of Essence Blood appeared.

With a wave of his hand.

The four drops of Essence Blood turned into beams of light, shooting towards the four city gates.

When they landed, they transformed back into avatars.

Having done all this.

Shen Changqing finally descended from the void, returning to the courtyard.

Now.

The Yin Evil Aura was expelled, and the formerly dim Firmament had also become bright once more.

"Let’s see how many more tricks you have up your sleeve now!"

His expression was solemn, not overly concerned about the current situation.

It might look like the Demon Evils attacking the city were numerous, and with the vast terrain of Mountain-Breaking City, it was difficult for him to attend to every front by himself.

But—

If Shen Changqing was willing, he could create dozens or even hundreds of avatars in one go.

And the strength of each avatar was no weaker than a Martial Artist in the later stages of the Grandmaster realm.

In fact.

They were even somewhat stronger than ordinary late-stage Grandmasters.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Flesh entering the Great Grandmaster Stage.

If it is said that a person at Grandmaster Peak could barely form an army by themselves, then now, unless there was a powerful being of the same Realm, Shen Changqing was hardly threatened by mere numbers alone.

Whether it was an army of one hundred thousand or an army of a million.

When quality reaches a certain level, quantity is hard to compensate for.

Therefore.

He was not in a hurry at all.

If the Demon Evils wanted to come, let them come; if they wanted to probe like this, he would just play along.

At worst.

It meant consuming a few more drops of Essence Blood.

As long as he reabsorbed it before the Essence Blood was completely extinguished, the loss could be easily replenished.

The impact would merely be a short-term dip in strength, which he could recover later on.

「Outside the city.」

The great battle erupted.

As a strategic location, Mountain-Breaking City naturally had no shortage of defenders.

Fifty thousand elite troops formed military formations, their baleful aura soaring to the sky, proving too much for ordinary Demon Evils.

At the same time.

Members of the Demon-Subduing Division took action, making the military formation’s power even stronger.

Notably, although most of the army consisted of ordinary people, it was by no means lacking in experts. Some commanders, in particular, possessed strength not much weaker than those of the Demon-Subduing Division.

Now that the battle had begun.

A tremendous momentum burst forth.

"The power of divine thunder. The one who took action just now must have been Shen Changqing!"

The Eternal Alliance Master reflected on the scene from moments ago, feeling an inward solemnity.

Combining the information previously received, it wasn’t difficult for him to deduce that the one who made the move was Shen Changqing.

At this moment.

The expressions of the other few also changed.

"The power of divine thunder is supremely firm and Yang-aspected. I hadn’t expected someone from the Human Clan to comprehend such a technique. This is a significant threat to our clan. This man must die!" one of them spoke in an indifferent and ice-cold tone.

Strictly speaking, the power of divine thunder was also the nemesis of the Demon Evil Clan.

The fact that someone in the Human Clan had comprehended such a technique was bad news for the Demon Evil Clan.

The Eternal Alliance Master nodded. "Don’t worry, my lord. Once we take action, he will definitely have no chance of survival."

From Shen Changqing’s burst of aura earlier, it was evident that he was indeed at the Marquis Rank Defender Envoy stage. Although strong, he was not stronger than the Eternal Alliance Master had anticipated.

Therefore.

He was not overly concerned about his opponent.

Once they took action, Shen Changqing was destined to die.

Sensing the fluctuations of battle outside the city.

The Eternal Alliance Master’s body suddenly rose into the air. A cold aura emanated from him, spreading like a hurricane, stirring the very skies and clouds.

For a moment.

The rocks trembled, large stones rolled down, and plants, drawn uncontrollably, flew toward the hurricane. Upon contact, they were easily ground into powder.

"The Demon-Subduing Division’s strength has been mostly tested. It’s time for us to take action, my lords!"

The icy words resounded.

Suddenly, the Eternal Alliance Master plunged towards Mountain-Breaking City.

Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances and revealed their true Demon Evil forms, unleashing all their power at once.

BOOM—

A Yin Evil Aura, far stronger than that unleashed by the dozen or so Fiend Level Strange Monsters, instantly shot up into the sky. Like terrifying Demon Gods, they seemed to inhale and exhale the very winds and clouds of Heaven and Earth, shaking the land for hundreds of miles around.

The skies darkened.

Black clouds engulfed Heaven and Earth.

An area of a hundred miles was plunged into absolute darkness.

Only the place where Mountain-Breaking City stood retained the last bit of light.

When such a terrifying aura erupted.

Ji Tianlu, who had been healing in seclusion, abruptly opened his eyes, which were filled with shock.

The next instant.

He exited his state of seclusion and appeared in the courtyard where Shen Changqing was located.

"Elder Shen!"

"Defender Ji is here."

Watching the newcomer, Shen Changqing wasn’t surprised at all.

He had also clearly felt that powerful fluctuation of aura from afar.

Ji Tianlu’s face looked grim. "Elder Shen, you must have sensed it too. That Yin Evil Aura is very strong. I suspect that it’s not as simple as just one or two Demon Evils attacking. Mountain-Breaking City might not be able to hold. If possible, Elder Shen, you should think ahead about a retreat."

Just from the fluctuation, a deep sense of powerlessness arose in his heart. Clearly, the Demon Evils appearing outside Mountain-Breaking City were not that simple. Even at his prime, he probably wouldn’t have been able to deal with them, let alone now that he was severely injured. Once the battle started, Mountain-Breaking City had almost no chance of winning.

Regarding this, Ji Tianlu wasn’t too afraid. From the day he became a Defender Envoy, he had been prepared to die in battle. But the problem was, he could die, but Shen Changqing could not die here. The young man already possessed such strength; if he continued to grow, one day he would become the true pillar of the Demon-Subduing Division. If such a person were to be sacrificed at Mountain-Breaking City, it would be a tremendous loss for the entire Demon-Subduing Division.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing gave a faint smile. "Defender Ji, you need not worry. I never fight battles I’m not confident in. Since I’ve chosen to remain in the Demon-Subduing Division, there’s no possibility of me fleeing at the sight of Demon Evils."

"Elder Shen is confident?" Ji Tianlu asked skeptically.

He knew Shen Changqing was strong, but the fluctuation of that aura indicated that the attacking Demon Evils were not merely one or two simple individuals.

"Rest assured!"

Shen Changqing offered simple comfort, then his smile became a bit more restrained.

"Defender Ji, please focus on healing. I alone can resolve what comes next."

After saying that.

He didn’t wait for Ji Tianlu to respond, taking a step into the void and heading towards the city outskirts.

Seeing this.

Ji Tianlu opened his mouth to say something, but Shen Changqing’s silhouette had already disappeared into the distance.

Thus, he had no choice but to swallow the words that had reached his throat. Feeling the approaching Yin Evil Aura, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Perhaps... I really am getting old!"

Although he didn’t know where Shen Changqing’s confidence stemmed from. However, Ji Tianlu had no other options at the moment. In terms of strength, while severely injured, he was inferior to Shen Changqing. Now that Shen Changqing was so full of fighting spirit, he could only see how things developed.

He shook his head again.

Ji Tianlu looked at Tiankui standing there, vigilantly watching him, and showed a smile he thought to be kind.

"I’ll borrow your place for a bit, you don’t mind, right?"

He didn’t wait for Tiankui to answer, found a spot, sat cross-legged, and began to silently tend to his injuries.

At this time, Ji Tianlu decided not to return to the secret chamber; there was no need.

He could recover from his injuries here directly; if Shen Changqing truly couldn’t hold on, he could intervene immediately.

「Elsewhere.」 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Shen Changqing walked on air, Divine Thunder Heavenly Gang coalescing around him, covering his original clothes and turning a rich purple.

The Demon Evils’ attack was an opportunity he had long awaited. Just from their auras, he could tell that the attacking Demon Evils were numerous and powerful. If he could kill them all, the benefits he would reap would undoubtedly be significant. This was also why Shen Changqing didn’t plan to let Ji Tianlu get involved. Unless he absolutely couldn’t handle it himself, he didn’t want anyone sharing his spoils. That’s right. In his eyes, those approaching Demon Evils were already his for the taking.

「Outside the city.」

The Eternal Alliance Master didn’t hide his presence in the slightest. His terrifying Yin Evil Aura swept over Heaven and Earth like a hurricane, his body wrapped in the storm as he continuously approached Mountain-Breaking City.

He covered the dozens of miles in an instant at such speed.

The horrific aura struck terror into all members of the Human Clan, as well as the Demon Evils.

"So strong!"

An Innate Martial Artist’s face was filled with shock. Looking at the Eternal Alliance Master, enveloped by the Yin Evil Aura and resembling a Demon God, he trembled to the core.

The black mask appeared particularly ferocious.

In the face of that imposing presence, even Innate Martial Artists felt their own frailty, as if they were mere ants, their blade-holding hands trembling unsteadily.

Some with weaker dispositions had already collapsed to the ground.

"Mountain-Breaking City!"

Looking at the city before him, the Eternal Alliance Master’s eyes were indifferent. As he raised one hand, terrible power was already coalescing in his palm.

The next instant.

His palm struck downwards.

The long-cultivated power erupted instantly, Black Palm Gang crushing down like mountains, as if intending to destroy the entire city.

At the same time.

Someone rose from below, stepping into the void.

Watching the crushing Black Palm Gang, Shen Changqing’s expression remained indifferent, his right hand already grasping the hilt of his sword.

HUM—

The long sword unsheathed.

Thunder abruptly appeared!
