Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1717: Chapter 1327: Fallen Into the Trap (2)

“With the Heavenly Dao above, today Li Zhirui and Chang Shi, representing the Li family of Shanhai State and the Devil Race of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, swear an oath to decide the outcome of this great war through a duel… If I am defeated, the Li family will cede 300 miles of Shanhai State / the Devil Race will not set foot in Shanhai State for a hundred years. If violated, may the Heavenly Thunder strike and the Heavenly Fire burn the soul, hoping the Heavenly Dao will witness this!”

With a thunderous boom, the Heavenly Dao responded to their oath.

In the perception of both, a binding appeared on their bodies, but it quickly disappeared as if it had never existed.

However, if violated, the Heavenly Thunder and Heavenly Fire would immediately descend.

“The Dao Oath has been established, why don’t you come out of the city and accept your death!” Chang Shi could no longer hold back, shouting arrogantly.

“Ha!”

Li Zhirui let out a disdainful sneer and said, “Why, so eager to die, anxious to reincarnate and become human again?”

With that, he transformed into a ray of spirit light and left from the city wall.

At the same time, he transmitted a message to Xiaoqing and Cang in his space, telling them to be ready, and ideally, to have their killing moves prepared so that when they emerge, they can unleash them.

Perhaps in a surprise attack, they could immediately deal with an Earth Immortal from the Devil Race!

“This place is not suitable for exhibiting techniques and could affect the youngsters, come with me!”

Li Zhirui pretended to be unaware of the Devil Race’s scheme and followed silently behind him.

Quickly, the two arrived at their destination.

This place had no particular characteristics, appearing very ordinary, and even his spirit sense didn’t alert him to any danger here, as if it were just an ordinary battlefield.

“Just this…”

But before Chang Shi could finish his words, he sensed two sharp sounds from behind, his spirit sense gave a strong warning, hastily activating his defensive magic artifact and defense divine ability, trying to withstand the surprise attack.

Thud—

Although he didn’t underestimate the attack’s power, he couldn’t exert much strength in haste, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body flying backward.

Li Zhirui wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity, quickly advancing with flickering spirit light in his hands, and if struck, it could be life-threatening!

“Stop!”

Five Earth Immortals hidden nearby using a secret technique had not expected this to happen. They immediately shouted and emerged, attempting to block his attack as quickly as possible.

But why would Xiaoqing and Cang stand by? Although they were not a match for the five Earth Immortals, they could at least contain them for a moment!

“Damn it! Get lost!”

The few Earth Immortals from the Devil Race were enraged, but they were still entangled by Xiaoqing and Cang, unable to stop them, helplessly watching Li Zhirui approach the heavily injured Chang Shi on the ground.

Stab—

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang harshly in the ears of the five from the Devil Race, and then they watched Chang Shi’s life force quickly fade.

In just a few breaths, he had completely lost his life force!

“Ahh! You deserve to die! I want you dead!”

One of the Earth Immortals was particularly furious, breaking the entanglement and launching a killing move at Li Zhirui, trying to take his life in revenge for Chang Shi.

Against such an enraged and impulsive opponent, he did not confront head-on but chose to evade temporarily, looking for a weakness to exploit and eliminate him.

Soon, Li Zhirui found the opponent’s flaw!

He seemed truly driven mad by rage, though his strength had slightly improved, he lacked flexibility, and he cherished Chang Shi’s corpse as if handling some treasure.

So when Li Zhirui attacked the corpse, he would rush up mindlessly to prevent it from being blasted to pieces.

In just an hour, the Devil Race Earth Immortal was covered in wounds, and his aura had significantly diminished.

It wouldn’t take long to completely resolve him!

“Jiu! We can barely hold on.”

But at this moment, Xiaoqing and Cang, who were entangled with the four Earth Immortals, reached their limit, having to voice a reminder.

Given they had only just broken through, if it weren’t for being in Shanhai State, within their Divine Domain, their enhanced strength might not even have lasted this long.

After a quick consideration, Li Zhirui called out Yuhong, “I would appreciate it if Fellow Daoist could assist Xiaoqing and Cang.”

“Alright!”

Yuhong readily agreed, quickly assessing the situation before rushing forward, drawing an Earth Immortal of the Devil Race to himself.

This way, Xiaoqing and Cang only had to face three Earth Immortals, which was still pressuring but allowed them to hold on for a little longer.

“Where are all these Earth Immortals coming from?”

They originally thought there was only Li Zhirui, believing with a six-on-one they would surely win, only to be surprised when two Earth Immortals suddenly appeared, assaulting Chang Shi and taking his life.

And just as the four managed to break free from the entanglement, another Earth Immortal appeared, lengthening the time it would take to break free without a reliable force!

Additionally, they were likely witnessing another Earth Immortal’s demise.

The deranged Earth Immortal fighting Li Zhirui was named Chang Shan, the blood brother of Chang Shi, which is why he was so agitated upon his brother’s death.

And given his current injuries, if he didn’t clear his head soon, he might also not escape this calamity.

But soon, to avoid further delays, Li Zhirui stopped using the corpse to weaken Chang Shan, instead directly engaging in combat.

Rumble——

Spirit light flickered, the ground shook, giant trees uprooted themselves, and the next moment, they were furiously swinging their thick branches and roots in the air, attacking Chang Shan furiously.

Simultaneously, gentle rain fell from the sky, and the mist nourished the giant trees, enhancing their strength.

However, being an Earth Immortal, sensing the life-threatening danger, he erupted with great power, and for a time, was able to exchange blows evenly with Li Zhirui.

“What a pity.” Li Zhirui shook his head, sighing with some regret.

If Chang Shan had been in his initial state, there might have been a slim chance of winning, but now? Keeping his life was good enough.

Boom!

Soon, due to his poor state, he was swatted away by a branch, crashing heavily to the ground.

“Cough cough…”

He lay on the ground, erupting into unstoppable coughing.

“We indeed underestimated your strength; even without help, you could escape our encirclement.” As he spoke, a hint of regret had already emerged in Chang Shan.

Perhaps from the beginning, they shouldn’t have let Chang Shi provoke Li Zhirui, otherwise, the brothers wouldn’t be in this predicament.

“Not true, not true! You didn’t fall into our trap, we fell into your calculations!”

Perhaps due to his impending death, a sudden surge of inspiration allowed him to guess this.

“Hahahahaha… This battle is lost too miserably, too unjustly!”

Laughing, Chang Shan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura almost hitting rock bottom, looking as if his life was nearing its end.

Li Zhirui did not respond, silently launching an attack to quickly end his life.

“Not good!”

The other four Earth Immortals from the Devil Race, realizing Chang Shan had followed in his brother’s footsteps, were terrified, not daring to linger, cast secret techniques, and fled towards the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain at the fastest speed.

Previously, with numerical superiority, they were not a match for a few of Li Zhirui’s people; now with equal numbers, how could they defeat the opponent?

If they didn’t escape quickly, were they to wait for death?

But what they didn’t know was that their cowardice saved them from disaster!

The previous Dao Oaths sworn by Li Zhirui and Chang Shi, each representing the Li family and the Devil Race, had a prerequisite condition of a battle.

But because he was ambushed and killed from the start, it didn’t count as a battle, thus not fulfilling the condition.

However, then Chang Shan struck and was killed in battle with Li Zhirui.

This means, the prerequisite of the Dao Oath had been fulfilled, and the Devil Race lost.

They should immediately withdraw from Shanhai State and not invade for a hundred years; otherwise, they would suffer the punishment of Heavenly Thunder and Heavenly Fire!
