Chapter 34 Slaughtering this entire sect of immortals and gods

Xuantianmen is located atop the spiritually rich Yunmiao Mountains.

The ethereal atmosphere of cranes soaring and clouds swirling in the past has now been replaced by a desolate scene.

The enormous protective light shield resembled an inverted glass bowl, enveloping the entire main peak. Runes flowed across the shield, radiating an aura of indestructibility.

Outside the light barrier, various colored lights continuously converged into the mountain gate from all directions; these were reinforcements from the affiliated sects of the Xuantian Sect.

However, all these preparations seemed so pale and powerless when the demon army besieged the city.

The dark, imposing array of demonic troops, like an endless undercurrent, silently stretched out beyond the Cloud Mist Mountains.

There were no shouts, no clamor, only an atmosphere of suppressed destruction about to erupt.

Bird-like demons blotted out the sky, beast-like demons occupied the land, and scaled demons lurked in the clouds.

The ominous demonic aura coalesced into a tangible dark cloud, weighing heavily on the hearts of every Xuantian Sect disciple.

At the very front of the demon army's formation, Chi Li stood suspended in mid-air.

She was still dressed in red, her robes fluttering in the wind, and the wound on her shoulder seemed to have healed, at least outwardly there was no sign of anything amiss.

However, upon closer inspection, one can detect that the crimson-gold divine light surrounding her is more intense and unstable than ever before, resembling a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

Her gaze, like two red-hot swords, pierced through space and was fixed on the massive gate of Xuantianmen.

Beside her, a divine shield emitting a soft green light stood out conspicuously.

Inside the protective shield, Tang Lu stood close to Chi Li, her small hands nervously clutching the hem of Chi Li's clothes.

Looking down at the densely packed demon army below, and at the protective mountain shield in the distance that shimmered with light and exuded immense pressure, her face paled and her heart pounded.

This was the first time she had ever truly been on such a massive battlefield, and the tension and killing intent in the air made her instinctively feel fear.

But when she looked up and saw Chi Li's resolute and cold profile beside her, and felt the unwavering will on the other side of their souls resonating, her fear subsided considerably.

Lili is here, and Lili will protect her.

And she also wants to protect Lili.

Inside the Xuantian Gate, the bell tolled urgently and fearfully.

Several powerful auras rose from within the mountain gate, led by none other than the current sect master of Xuantian Sect, True Man Qingxu.

His hair and beard were all white, and his face was clear and handsome, but at this moment his face was ashen. He was accompanied by a group of elders and core disciples, and they were suspended inside the protective light barrier, facing Chi Li from afar.

"Crimson Glass Demon King!" Master Qingxu's voice, imbued with magical power, resounded throughout the surrounding area. "You have raised an unjust army and invaded my mountain gate. What exactly do you intend to do?"

Is this truly going to ignite a war between humans and demons, causing widespread death and destruction?!

He tried to gain the upper hand by standing on the moral high ground.

Upon hearing this, Chi Li's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. Her voice, though not loud, clearly overpowered the sound of the bell, reaching the ears of every living being:

"An unjust army? Qingxu, you old man, when your Xuantian Sect hired the Shadow Pavilion to infiltrate my Demon Realm Palace and assassinate those close to me, did you ever consider the meaning of 'righteousness'?!"

Her gaze pierced straight at Master Qingxu: "I have come today for only one thing—to raze your Xuantian Sect to the ground, leaving not a single chicken or dog alive!"

"Arrogant!" A hot-tempered elder beside Master Qingxu couldn't help but shout sternly.

"A monster is a monster, arrogant and unreasonable!"

Our Xuantian Sect acts on behalf of Heaven to eliminate the demons lurking in the human realm. What wrong have we done?!

As for the matter of the Shadow Pavilion, there's no evidence whatsoever; don't make baseless accusations!

"False accusation?" The last trace of warmth vanished from Chi Li's eyes, leaving only pure killing intent. "My words are the evidence!"

She stopped talking and slowly raised her right hand.

With her movement, the momentum of the entire demon army suddenly increased, and countless demon soldiers and generals' eyes flashed with bloodthirsty red light!

"Form ranks! Prepare to meet the enemy!" Master Qingxu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly gave the order.

The runes on the protective light shield instantly shone brightest!

However, Chi Li's target was not that seemingly solid protective mountain shield.

At her fingertips, a wisp of condensed, golden flame, seemingly capable of incinerating the void, quietly appeared.

The flame was no bigger than a bean, yet it caused the surrounding space to distort and collapse!

"I'd like to see how many blows your tortoise shell can withstand."

Before she could finish speaking, she flicked her finger!

The tiny flame, no bigger than a bean, traversed the distance of space and instantly appeared before the protective light barrier of the Xuantian Gate, silently imprinting itself upon it.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling clash of lights.

There was only a soft "hiss" sound, like a red-hot iron being branded into the ice and snow.

The protective light shield, which embodies the millennia-old heritage of the Xuantian Sect and is said to be able to withstand attacks from true immortals, instantly dimmed and shattered at the point where the flame touched it.

A hole the size of a fist suddenly appeared!

Moreover, at the edge of that void, crimson flames, like living things, were spreading and eroding wildly in all directions, constantly widening the gap!

"What?!"

"That's impossible!"

The members of Xuantian Sect were horrified...

Their greatest shield, upon which they relied, was so utterly vulnerable before Chi Li?!

Master Qingxu's pupils constricted sharply as he finally truly felt the terrifying power of this supreme being of the demon realm.

This is no ordinary demonic power; it is a destructive power approaching the fundamental laws of creation.

"Stop her! Reinforce the formation!" he roared hoarsely, unleashing a surge of powerful spiritual energy in an attempt to repair the ever-widening gap.

Countless Xuantian Sect disciples also poured their spiritual power into the light shield, causing various colors of light to shine, attempting to resist the erosion of the crimson-gold flames.

However, it was all in vain.

The phoenix flames burned stubbornly, like a malignant tumor, devouring all spiritual energy. The gap not only did not shrink, but expanded at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye it was more than a person tall.

Chi Li remained expressionless as flames gathered again at her fingertips.

Just then...

"Buzz—!"

A massive, purple divine lightning bolt, imbued with the awe-inspiring power of heaven, struck down from the heavens without warning, its target being the green protective shield beside Chi Li, and Tang Lu within it!

It was the hidden strength of the Xuantian Sect that triggered the Heavenly Thunder Punishment.

Knowing they were no match for Chi Li, they turned their attention to her "weak point," which she was clearly trying to protect.

"Tang Lu!" Chi Li's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, she was about to flash in front of the protective barrier.

But that divine lightning was too fast and too sudden!

Moreover, it contained a trace of the locking power of the laws of heaven, causing the space around her to freeze.

At this critical moment.

Inside the protective shield, Tang Lu watched as the purple lightning bolt, seemingly capable of destroying everything, struck her. Overwhelmed with fear, her mind went blank.

However, even faster than fear is an instinctive impulse to protect those around you!

She didn't know where the courage came from, but she suddenly took a step forward, opened her arms, and tried to use her small body to block Chi Li.

At the same time, the pure wood spirit heart within her body began to operate at an unprecedented speed, and the soft green light surged instantly.

No longer a faint firefly, it transformed into a green shield brimming with life, meeting the destructive divine lightning head-on!

"No!" Chi Li's eyes widened in horror!

"boom--!!!"

The purple divine lightning struck the green light shield fiercely.

The scene of Tang Lu turning to ashes as imagined did not occur.

The lightning, which contained destructive power, seemed to have encountered a nemesis when it touched the extremely pure and vibrant wood spirit light shield. Its power was greatly weakened and purified.

A large amount of lightning was neutralized and dissipated, leaving only residual power to penetrate the light shield and strike the second layer of divine power shield that Chi Li had just deployed, causing a loud explosion.

An energy storm swept out, causing Chi Li's robes to flutter wildly and also stirring Tang Lu's long golden hair.

Chi Li grabbed Tang Lu, who was staggering backward, her face pale and clearly exhausted, and pulled her back into her arms. Her heart was pounding wildly with fear, almost bursting out of her chest!

"You..." She was both shocked and angry, wanting to harshly rebuke her for overestimating her abilities.

But looking at the weak yet relieved look in the little one's eyes, as if a mission had been accomplished, all the words stuck in his throat.

Tang Lu leaned against her chest, panting, and said softly but firmly, "Tang Lu... can also... protect Li Li..."

Although the sound was faint, it resounded in Chi Li's heart and shocked all the demons below who witnessed this scene!

Their queen was not just a delicate flower that needed to be pampered!

Demons have always disdained worldly prejudices. Everyone has witnessed the king's attention to the little tree spirit, so they naturally assumed that she was the demon queen.

No one expected that she, so weak, could unleash such power at the crucial moment, even weakening the heavenly lightning!

Chi Li hugged the little tree spirit in her arms, who had surprised her time and time again. The killing intent and rage in her heart, mixed with bitterness and pride, finally turned into an even colder killing intent.

She raised her head and looked at Qingxu Zhenren, whose face was pale from the failed sneak attack. The blood-red storm in her eyes was fully formed.

"You... all deserve to die!"

She held nothing back; divine fire erupted from her body, transforming into a colossal phoenix form, its wings spreading wide, blotting out the sky!

"All troops, listen to my command!"

"kill--!!!"

With her command, an endless tide of demons, following the earth-shattering fiery phoenix, surged toward the Xuan Tian Gate's protective barrier, which had already been breached!

War has broken out in full force!

Against the backdrop of this bloody massacre, Chi Li tightly protected the little tree spirit in her arms.

Her tree shielded her from the heavenly lightning.

Then she would slaughter all the immortals and gods in this family for her sake!
