After leaving Ping City, they traveled more than a hundred miles to the west. They saw a mountain that stretched for dozens of miles and was ten thousand feet tall.

“This mountain is called Black Dragon Mountain. It’s filled with demonic aura. It’s rumored that a wisp of the Black Dragon’s soul is lingering here.”

Five kilometers outside the Black Dragon Mountain, Ping City’s army was stationed.

Hu Jiujiu received news that the fleeing demons were all stationed in Black Dragon Mountain. After asking Li Yuanqing, Hu Jiujiu led the guards to chase after them.

The guards were much stronger than before, and many humans fought to join them.

After this battle, the human race’s feelings for Hu Jiujiu became deeper. Although they did not receive a clear announcement, they were certain that the person behind Hu Jiujiu was the Sword Immortal.

Otherwise, why was it that every time the human race was in danger, the Sword Immortal would always descend from the sky to resolve the crisis for them? The Sword Immortal had always been protecting them from behind.

There were even many people who rushed to make the Sword Immortal’s flag overnight and held it high.

Minglun rode on a tall horse. He was dressed in armor and his eyes were bright. However, he did not look very relaxed at this moment.

“Captain, did you tell the City Lord? That’s the Black Dragon Envoy. Although the Sword Immortal has temporarily repelled the envoy, if we really force them to their deaths, we will definitely suffer.”

The veteran demons were all very worried. They tried their best to dissuade Hu Jiujiu because they knew Long Qingyun’s true strength.

Although the Sword Immortal had appeared again yesterday and easily defeated the two of them in an instant, the Sword Immortal was still a Sword Immortal after all. The Sword Immortal could defeat people, but they were both made of flesh and blood. If they really fought, they might not be able to keep their lives.

Minglun was silent as he looked in the direction of Hu Jiujiu’s tent.

“Captain, we can’t delay this matter any longer.” The soldiers were a little anxious. “In any case, we’ve already repelled them. Why don’t we just guard the city since there’s such a rare stability? Why must we chase them out? Isn’t this treating everyone’s lives as nothing?”

“That’s right. To be honest, the City Lord is still on the side of the human race. She doesn’t take our lives seriously at all.”

“Shut up!” Minglun berated coldly.

After all, the Sword Immortal was behind Hu Jiujiu. Even if the Black Dragon’s envoy came, it would be useless. They would have to obediently help Hu Jiujiu. Now, they wanted to come after them to show off their might and strengthen the human race. If they had too many opinions, they would only attract hatred for no reason.

“But are you that afraid of her, Captain?”

“We brothers only had one life. If we get involved because of this, it would be too unjust.”

“Everyone, don’t be so anxious,” someone said. “Look at the City Lord. She’s not anxious at all. In my opinion, there’s a high chance that the Sword Immortal is following behind. Since the City Lord isn’t worried about anything, what’s there to worry about?”

After he said that, many people agreed. However, it was true that they would not be able to relax if they fought and lost their lives.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Minglun looked around for a while and said to them, “At that time, you just have to worry about keeping your lives. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Hu Jiujiu walked out of the station and looked in the direction of Black Dragon Mountain from afar. However, if one observed carefully, they would discover that Hu Jiujiu’s gaze was on a small mountain opposite Black Dragon Mountain.

On the small mountain, Li Yuanqing stood quietly like a statue. His white clothes fluttered in the wind.

“Young Master Long, that person is here.” Shark hid in the darkness of the Black Dragon Mountain and watched for a long time. Finally, he saw a living person appear out of thin air on the mountaintop.

This guy’s strength was indeed much more unfathomable than theirs. He was already so close, but they did not notice him.

“Good lord, he’s bold enough. However, our Lightning Attracting Formation has already been set up. Even if he has the ability to reach this place, he has to leave his life behind.”

Long Qingyun’s expression recovered a lot. He stared coldly in Li Yuanqing’s direction.

Li Yuanqing, who had been motionless, suddenly turned his head and quietly looked at the two of them.

They stared at each other. Shark felt his eyes sting as if they had been burned by fire. He hurriedly turned around and hid in the dark again, carefully watching Long Qingyun.

“Young Master Long, when are we going to attack?”

“Soon.”

Long Qingyun looked up at the sky. The sky was gradually filled with dark clouds. These dark clouds slowly condensed and covered the sky. As if attracted by something, they gathered on the top of the Black Dragon Mountain.

“Go and lure him over,” Long Qingyun ordered without looking back.

Shark looked troubled. “Young Master Long, you’ve seen his strength. If I go, I’ll be slapped to death by him.”

Shark took two steps back and watched Long Qingyun carefully. He could not afford to offend either side.

Long Qingyun turned his head and stared at him expressionlessly. “If we can’t get rid of him this time, do you think you can still keep your life?”

“But Young Master Long?”

“Don’t tell me so much, just save all this for Lord Black Dragon.”

After being forced by Long Qingyun, Shark could only grit his teeth and agree.

Although Li Yuanqing was powerful, it would not be realistic if he could defeat him in an instant. On the contrary, if he went back and faced Lord Black Dragon, he would have no chance of survival.

“I’ll go now.”

Shark slowly left the cave as he spoke. However, just as he walked out, he froze again.

Long Qingyun looked at him impatiently. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and lure him over. It’s that simple. If you can’t do it, let the others do it.”

“But Young Master Long?”

“But what, but? Did you not hear my orders clearly?”

Long Qingyun was furious with Shark.

Shark turned carefully, all the muscles in his face trembling uncontrollably. “But Young Master Long, that person is already outside.”

Long Qingyun stepped out of the cave and was surprised to see Li Yuanqing walking up the mountain step by step as if he was taking a stroll. However, every step he took was on the treetops. Like an immortal, he strolled among the clouds. In a short while, he had arrived outside their cave.

Li Yuanqing looked quietly at the two people walking out of the cave.

“Good lord, we’ve already let you off. I didn’t expect you to still chase after us.” Long Qingyun looked at Li Yuanqing without changing his expression.

In contrast, Shark was like a bug in front of Li Yuanqing’s powerful pressure. He could only hide behind and watch carefully, unable to say a word.

The difference between any minor realm of the Formation Arrangement Realm was like a huge chasm in the middle, not to mention that Shark was only at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This man, who was like a god in front of ordinary demons, could not even fart in front of Li Yuanqing.

At this moment, the demons guarding the foot of the mountain also rushed up. They surrounded Li Yuanqing in the middle. This person was really arrogant to the extreme to actually rush in by himself. Even their boss had not given the order yet, but this person was already here.

Li Yuanqing looked at Long Qingyun indifferently. “Didn’t you want me to come here? I’m already here. Show me what you have.”

Only then did Long Qingyun see Li Yuanqing’s face clearly. This guy was just an ordinary human kid. He looked so young, but he could already give them such a powerful pressure.

It really made Long Qingyun unhappy. He had the Black Dragon bloodline talent and his cultivation speed among the demons was considered top-notch. However, no matter how one looked at it, Li Yuanqing was clearly so young, but he actually had such a deep cultivation.

“It’s said that humans are talented in cultivation. Now that I see it, it’s indeed worth being wary of.”

As Long Qingyun spoke, a token appeared in his hand. This token was pitch-black and had a black dragon carving on it.

“It seems that you really don’t intend to leave this place alive.” The moment Li Yuanqing saw the token appear, he sighed for them. “I gave you a chance.”

Long Qingyun sneered. It was obvious that Li Yuanqing had not realized what kind of situation he was in, nor did he realize how powerful the token in his hand was.

“Hahaha, arrogant human.” As Long Qingyun spoke, he suddenly soared into the sky. His hair stood on end, and his eyes were filled with lightning that flickered with a dazzling light. His terrifying eyes glared at Li Yuanqing arrogantly.

“This is the stupidity of the human race. They are clearly of inferior race and can’t sense the existence of danger, but they still want to treat themselves as heroes. They are all alone and despicable. All of them are defeated one by one just like this. That’s why you’re in this situation. Do you understand?

“Hahaha!”

After saying that, Long Qingyun threw his head back and laughed.

Thunder crackled in the dark clouds. The thunder seemed to resonate with the flash in Long Qingyun’s eyes. It was spreading and swimming like a very spicy python in the sky.

The city guards in the distance retreated in fear when they saw this.

The violent heavenly lightning covered an area of dozens of kilometers and kept spreading out. Although it had not smashed down yet, the pressure was already suffocating.

“No one is allowed to retreat!” Minglun shouted, raising his flag high in the air.

Hu Jiujiu looked worriedly in the direction of Black Dragon Mountain. Li Yuanqing was at the center of the storm.

“Human.”

“Human!”

“Foolish humans!”

Long Qingyun shouted loudly. His aura suddenly soared.

“Your resistance is futile!”

His words were heard by all the city guards.

These words were said to all the humans present, making them feel a sense of fear. The weapons in their hands seemed to have lost their power. Before they could move their hands, the weapons fell to the ground with a plop. Their human race was still too insignificant in the face of such a huge force.

Long Qingyun’s aura had already reached its peak. He suddenly raised the Black Dragon Token in his hand and pointed it at Li Yuanqing. “All your beliefs and the humans you protect.”

Long Qingyun seemed to have sworn an oath. As he spat out the last syllable, the black python swimming in the sky suddenly pierced through.

The black dragon opened its mouth and placed it on Li Yuanqing’s head.

However, Long Qingyun clearly heard a sigh. This sigh was so transparent and clear that it could implant a person’s heart amidst the roar of thunder.

Who was he sighing for?

Long Qingyun’s eyes suddenly froze. He suddenly felt sad. Perhaps there was no sorrow. This was because he saw a huge sword appear above Li Yuanqing’s head.

The greatsword was so familiar.

“No, you can’t defeat me!” Long Qingyun roared angrily and poured all his strength into the token. His eyes also turned from lightning-like silver to pitch-black. However, all of this, all of this immense pressure, did not seem to press down on Li Yuanqing.

There was no emotion in Li Yuanqing’s eyes. They were so cold, as if he was looking down on all living beings.

“Slash!” There was no emotion in the voice. It was as clear as the final judgment.

It exploded.

The city guards standing dozens of miles away only saw flames filling the sky.

What they could not see was the thousands-of-feet-long lightning python that was broken by Li Yuanqing’s sword.

The huge lightning python turned into small snakes that swam and fluttered in the sky, condensing into a huge lightning ball.

They could not see that the famous Black Dragon Mountain was directly split into two by this sword. Even a gully that was several kilometers long appeared on the ground. This gully was thousands of feet deep.

The shattered Black Dragon Mountain fragments turned into huge rocks that fell into the canyon. There were also many wailing demons mixed in as they followed these boulders. It filled the huge gully under the Black Dragon Mountain.

An earthquake. A powerful earthquake.

The city guards only looked at them from afar and looked at the place wrapped in the lightning ball in horror. Everything seemed to have disappeared, and the Black Dragon Mountain seemed to have become transparent.

When the lightning ball finally lost all its strength and slowly dissipated, an extremely shocking scene appeared.

Black Dragon Mountain, which was originally like a huge sword that reached the sky, had already disappeared. It was as if it had been moved out of thin air.

“Sword Immortal!”

“It’s the Sword Immortal!”

“The Sword Immortal razed Black Dragon Mountain to the ground!”

“I’ve comprehended it.”

All the humans faced the empty distance, their eyes filled with endless admiration. That was all their yearning.
