Chapter 77: Living Towards Death "Not good, Fire Protector, hurry...

"Not good, Fire Protector, retreat quickly!"

Bei Liyuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "It's too late."

Then, a huge red seal that reached the sky smashed down directly. The Fire Protector moved his sword fingers quickly and formed a protective formation. However, in just a moment, the protective formation shattered. With a scream, the Fire Protector was smashed into blood foam by the huge seal.

At the same moment, the giant seal also shattered into dust.

Bei Liyuan obtained this God-Slaying Seal by chance during his training, but it was a fake and could only be used once.

The remaining two were more cautious.

Bei Liyuan looked at the two of them with cold eyes. He no longer had any magic weapon in his hand that could deal with the Heavenly God Realm, so he could only fight hard.

The two guardians exchanged glances, about to move, when they saw Bei Liyuan's sword fingers rapidly moving, seemingly forming a seal, though no seal formation appeared. Learning from their previous experience, they both formed protective formations and faced the enemy with caution.

As Bei Liyuan opened and closed his hands, a blood-red lotus blossomed in his palms, followed by more blood lotuses, until he himself seemed to have turned into a blood lotus.

The two could feel the heavy deathly aura and silently clenched their fists. Then, tens of thousands of blood lotuses flew over at a rapid speed. Wherever the blood lotus passed by, it became a blood-red sharp blade, and the entire space seemed to be cut into pieces.

The blood lotuses shattered instantly upon impact with their protective formations. Just when they thought they were of no use, a faint crack appeared in the formation. With a crackling sound, the Thunder Protector's protective formation completely shattered. He quickly dodged and retreated, but the blood lotuses continued to multiply, each wave more powerful than the last. The Thunder Protector had no choice but to meet them with his sword. In a moment, the immortal sword shattered with a clang.

The Thunder Guardian looked at the Lightning Guardian and said coldly, "Come and help!"

The Electric Protector looked at him and curled the corners of his lips. The useless person should have died long ago.

The blood lotus was already in front of him. Protector Lei did not have time to think and raised his palm to meet it with his life. However, in just three breaths, Protector Lei let out a miserable scream and vomited blood. Then his body was torn into blood foam by the blood lotus.

At the moment when Protector Lei died, Protector Dian slashed at the blood lotus with a sword. In an instant, all the blood lotuses disappeared, and Bei Liyuan also fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at the Electric Protector with cold eyes: "With such strength, you deliberately watched the three of them die miserably."

The Electric Guardian sneered, "These three losers can only gossip and rob me of my resources. What's the point of keeping them? I should thank you for helping me get rid of them properly. Boy, you can die now."

As soon as he finished speaking, his sword fingers moved quickly, and tens of thousands of sword prints pressed towards Bei Liyuan. Bei Liyuan hurriedly formed a protective formation, but in just a moment, the protective formation shattered, and Bei Liyuan hurriedly dodged and retreated.

Naive! The Lightning Protector's sword finger moved slightly, and tens of thousands of sword seals attacked Bei Liyuan from all directions. Bei Liyuan had no choice but to block with his sword.

The Electric Protector moved his sword again, and the sword seal attack became stronger. In just three breaths, Bei Liyuan was already covered with wounds.

The Lightning Protector sneered, "It would be more satisfying to just surrender and be killed. Why bother struggling in vain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword seal that pierced the sky slashed towards Bei Liyuan. Bei Liyuan hurriedly took up his sword to block it. With a loud bang, Bei Liyuan fell to the ground seriously injured.

A hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Electric Protector: "You're not dead yet?"

The sword finger lightly drew, and another sword mark slashed forward.

Bei Liyuan knew the gap between him and the opponent. Even if he could withstand the attack this time, he might not be able to withstand the next attack. Escape was even more impossible. Not to mention that he could not escape from this person, even the countless Red Fire Clan members outside could not be killed in his current situation.

"Master, I thought I could always protect you, but now I'm afraid I can't. I'm sorry."

After he finished speaking, Bei Liyuan gently placed Li Youyang on the ground, then cut his wrist with a sword and recited softly. The blood was actually absorbed by the bloodthirsty soul-summoning banner.

The Lightning Guardian's eyes darkened. This was a blood sacrifice to all the ghosts! He couldn't be allowed to succeed.

The sword fingers moved hurriedly, and tens of thousands of sword marks rushed straight towards Beiliyuan, but the sword marks suddenly stopped in the middle and then dissipated.

"This... is a corpse puppet! He actually wants to refine himself into a corpse puppet!"

Bei Liyuan gave Li Youyang a last reluctant look, feeling really unwilling to give up. "Master, I really want you to spend more time with me."

Then he closed his eyes and let the ghosts strip away his soul.

Even the Electric Guardian couldn't bear to watch: "This is the first time I've seen someone be so cruel to themselves! It's terrifying!"

Just when Beiliyuan's soul was about to be completely stripped away, the howling of thousands of ghosts suddenly rang out in the space, and the bloodthirsty soul-calling banner was actually chopped into pieces.

"Hmm?" The Electric Protector was slightly stunned.

Li Youyang stood up weakly, pointing his sword directly at Bei Liyuan's eyebrows, and the powerful spiritual energy flowed into Bei Liyuan's body along his eyebrows.

After a moment, Li Youyang fell over weakly and lost consciousness again.

At the same time, thunder roared in the sky, and several lightning bolts struck down around the two of them.

"Upgrading on the spot! Even a semi-saint is so impressive. If this person were to reach the realm of a saint, it's hard to say who would die today."

The Electric Protector did not dare to delay any longer and attacked with his sword, but was blocked by the thunder tribulation. He tried several times but it was useless and could only wait on the side.

This went on for three hours before the thunderstorm finally dissipated. Bei Liyuan's spiritual energy was completely different from before, and he successfully achieved the state of a saint.

Before he even took action, Electric Protector already felt fear in his heart.

Bei Liyuan glanced at the Protector of Electricity coldly, his eyes darkened slightly, and a fierce killing array rushed forward. The Protector of Electricity held up his sword to meet it, but in just a moment, the Protector of Electricity's magic sword shattered. He hurriedly dodged backwards, but was pierced by tens of thousands of sword prints and turned into blood foam.

Bei Liyuan bent down and picked up Li Youyang again. Just as he was about to fight back, a dark vortex suddenly appeared in the void. Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened slightly. This should be the space they had been looking for.

He immediately carried Li Youyang into the whirlpool.

Bei Liyuan looked around. The space was about the size of an ordinary house, but the spiritual energy inside was more abundant than outside. It was a good place to heal.

Bei Liyuan gently put Li Youyang down and began to heal his wounds.

After Li Youyang entered this space, he found himself in a fantasy world:

The Goddess Xihe, dressed in white, took him through a long period of time. He didn't understand why Xihe took him to understand these things, but he had no choice. The illusion ended only when Xihe died. However, he did not wake up, but arrived at a completely white empty place.

The God of Xihe was standing not far away. Just as Li Youyang was about to ask, the God of Xihe suddenly flashed into his body and became one with him. Then Li Youyang left the open space and slowly woke up.

Bei Liyuan hugged him tightly and choked up, "Master, you're finally awake, finally awake."

Li Youyang patted Bei Liyuan's back gently: "Thank you for your hard work."

There was a sense of distance and strangeness in his tone.

Bei Liyuan was slightly startled: "Master? Are you..."

Li Youyang nodded: "I remember everything from the past."

Bei Liyuan silently clenched his fists, his eyes full of worry: "Will you regret it, will you...hmm"

Li Youyang kissed him lightly on the lips and said softly, "No, I just recovered my past memories and I'm still a little uncomfortable."

Bei Liyuan nodded in a daze.

Li Youyang couldn't help but smile at Bei Liyuan's silly look, and said in a deep voice: "Don't do that in the future. If I don't wake up in time, you won't be able to revive me."

Bei Liyuan nodded seriously: "I won't do that again."

"Let's go."

Bei Liyuan hummed: "Master, this space..."

Li Youyang said softly, "This is a magical treasure I made."

After the two of them left the space, Li Youyang moved his sword slightly, and the space turned into a leaf-sized lens floating in the void. After Li Youyang put it away, the two of them returned to the League of Heroes together.

…

Inside the Heroic Alliance, Feng Nuo clenched his fists as he watched the protective formation about to break. "Lord Yuchen, this protective formation can only hold out for another half a day at most..."

Yu Chen's eyes darkened: "Order everyone to prepare for battle."

Ling Ye said solemnly, "The silver-clad men have begun to attack the Heroic Alliance. It seems Xihe and Beiliyuan are in great danger. If we wait for the leader to recover, our chances of winning will be even smaller. It would be better if we charge out now and fight them. We might still have a chance of winning."

Yu Chen looked up at the endless number of Red Fire Clan cultivators and silently clenched his fists.

Feng Nuo also said: "Even if Divine Lord Yuchen doesn't come out now, he will be the same in half a day. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it's better to give it a try."

Yu Chen was still hesitant. Facing such a massive enemy force, should he give it a try or die?

While hesitating, all the cultivators knelt down and said, "Lord Yuchen, we are willing to go out and fight the enemy to the death. Even if the outcome is already determined, we must drag a few people down with us. Please give the order."

Ling Ye whispered, "Right now, everyone is ready to die, and their morale is at its highest. If we don't act now, our chances of winning will be even lower when the protective formation breaks."

Yu Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Feng Nuo, listen to my orders, remove the protective formation, and everyone, charge out with me. To protect Jiuzhou, we will never regret even if it means death!"

"To protect the Nine Provinces, I will never regret even if I die!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and the moment the protective formation was removed, all the cultivators flew out on their swords and fought with the Red Fire Clan.

In just a quarter of an hour, the Red Fire Clan suffered five times as many casualties as theirs.

"Young Master, the enemy is acting like a madman. If they continue like this, our casualties will be even greater. Should we retreat temporarily?"

Yin Yue's eyes darkened. "A bunch of ants scared you into this state! I will not retreat a single step until all of you are dead today."

The moment he finished speaking, he rushed into the battle.

The cultivators of the Red Fire Clan were also encouraged, and the situation immediately reversed.

After fighting for another half an hour, 30% of the Heroes Alliance monks were killed or wounded, and the rest were exhausted.

Yin Yue said loudly: "Listen up, all the Heroic Alliance monks! Anyone who is willing to surrender now will be spared!"

Feng Nuo said solemnly: "I would rather die than surrender!!"

“I’d rather die than surrender!!”

The other monks shouted in a deep voice!

Yin Yue's eyes darkened: "You are really looking for death! Don't leave anyone alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless howls were heard, and then a bloody killing formation enveloped all the Red Fire Clan cultivators present.

Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan stood in the air and said loudly: "Three days later, there will be a battle at Qianjue Peak. If we lose, we will persuade all the cultivators of Jiuzhou to surrender to the Red Fire Clan. If we win, all cultivators of the Red Fire Clan will withdraw from the Jiuzhou Continent and will never be allowed to attack again."

The moment Yin Yue saw Xihe again, she felt a surge of joy in her heart. He was still alive. "Okay, I will go back and report to the Lord. Everyone, listen to my orders and evacuate."
