"Swish—"
Three enormous azure palms descended with overwhelming force, their power and might reaching the limit of the fourth stage.
The moment they appeared, the heavens and earth changed color, and countless cultivators could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within them.
From the earlier exchange, everyone had already understood the enormous gap between the two sides.
So many were wondering whether Old Demon Chiqung would be killed outright in this round of attacks.
As for breaking the agreement?
Sorry, but before absolute strength, even truth must remain silent!
"Despicable!"
At this moment, a trace of obvious shock flashed through Old Demon Chiqung's eyes as he stood heavily wounded, only to be replaced by fury.
No martial ethics at all!
But he had no time to think further. The three azure palms were already upon him, sealing off every possible angle from the front, leaving him nowhere to retreat.
He could have fallen back into White Feather Immortal City, but with the strength of the city's defensive formation, it might be shattered in a single blow, causing countless cultivators to perish.
"Such a ruthless old demon Qingyang!"
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind as Old Demon Chiqung gritted his teeth. From those three azure palms, he could already smell the scent of death.
He had a feeling that, at this moment when the war between humans and demons was about to erupt, the other party truly intended to take his life!
"Heavenly Fire Ring!"
"Blazing Flame Golden Saber!"
Because the situation had changed so abruptly, Liu Yu's attack had already come extremely close, and Old Demon Chiqung could only fully activate his Life-Bound True Treasure and innate divine ability.
In a life-or-death moment, he was also decisive.
It seemed he had directly burned his yuan ying source, and the spiritual pressure around him, already at the peak yuan ying level, surged once again toward an even higher realm.
Under his control, the Heavenly Fire Ring expanded to around ten-odd zhang, firmly shielding his true body.
As for his innate divine ability, the Blazing Flame Golden Saber, he activated it more than ten times in the blink of an eye.
Crackle—
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen golden sabers burning with orange-red flames appeared in the air. Each one was a hundred zhang long, and each possessed power at the level of the peak of the fourth stage.
Even so, their might was still far inferior to the three azure palms.
Whoosh, whoosh—
Like trying to shake a tree, the dozen-plus Blazing Flame Golden Sabers shot out under Old Demon Chiqung's control, doing everything they could to intercept the three azure palms.
In midair, Liu Yu watched his opponent's rapid response while holding his spiritual tea expressionlessly.
Even if Old Demon Chiqung decisively burned his lifespan, this round of attacks was not something that could be taken so easily.
If an early-stage true lord's magical power strength was ten, a mid-stage true lord's was thirteen or fourteen, and a great cultivator's was twenty, then this Old Demon Chiqung's magical power strength was at most around twenty-two or twenty-three.
As for Liu Yu, when he had just broken through to late nascent soul, he was already at twenty-seven or twenty-eight. With his cultivation advancing further now, he had already surpassed the threshold of thirty.
The gap between the two sides was at least seven or eight points.
Once magical power strength exceeds seven points, a great cultivator can completely crush early- and mid-stage true lords. That was the very basis of such overwhelming suppression.
And right now, Liu Yu's magical power strength exceeded that margin by far.
Even if his cultivation was slightly lacking, the might of his attacks still far surpassed Old Demon Chiqung's, enough to produce a crushing effect.
Just as a great cultivator does to early- and mid-stage true lords.
Not to mention, he could also control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
And he had not yet revealed his peak fourth-stage body refinement cultivation, nor his astonishing primordial spirit cultivation. Those two trump cards were still hidden.
