Chapter 203: Internal Strife

??

No one, not even the Black Dragon clone, noticed when Lu Yongchuan moved. However, when they discovered it, the sword in Lu Yongchuan’s hand had already landed on the back of the black shadow.

The black shadow subconsciously raised a hand, wanting to block the sword. This was not his true body. Under Li Yuanqing’s powerful pressure, this clone only lasted for a breath before instantly collapsing. The black shadow that had frozen exploded into a wisp of black fog and was split into two by Li Yuanqing’s sword.

White God and Niu Batian watched this scene in shock. They did not know what was wrong with Lu Yongchuan.

“Lu Yongchuan, are you crazy?” Niu Batian rushed up and arrived in front of Lu Yongchuan. He thought that he and Lu Yongchuan were good brothers. Now that this brother had suddenly done something strange, he should be able to stop him.

However, what Niu Batian did not expect was that Lu Yongchuan would actually do this. He looked down in disbelief. Half of a thin arm had sunk into his chest.

Lu Yongchuan’s hand was like a knife that pierced through Niu Batian’s chest. His palm was in the shape of a claw, pierced through his back.

Niu Batian widened his eyes and looked up at Lu Yongchuan. His blood surged. Blood spewed out of his chest and flowed out from the seam between his chest and Lu Yongchuan’s arm.

“Niu Batian!”

White God looked at the scene in shock.

“You!”

Niu Batian felt that his body had become much weaker in an instant. The vitality of his life seemed to be pouring into Li Yuanqing’s body from this arm. An indescribable fear arose in Niu Batian’s heart. He hurriedly took out his huge double axes and raised them high, wanting to smash them on Lu Yongchuan’s head.

Lu Yongchuan’s eyes were very cold. He was not the Lu Yongchuan he knew in the past.

The people of Rong City below also looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. They did not know what had happened in the sky. They only felt that a powerful Demon God had appeared in midair. Those Demon Kings seemed to be gathered together to discuss something.

But why did they seem to have an argument? They even had a conflict.

“City Lord, see what’s wrong with them?”

“I think one of them has defected? Are these people arguing?”

A trace of hope ignited in the hearts of the humans in Rong City.

Ye Qiluo stared blankly at the back of the man in front of her. Why was this man so familiar? For some reason, a figure appeared in Ye Qiluo’s heart. However, that man should not have appeared here. He should be in Ping City.

At this moment, Niu Batian’s dual axes were about to smash towards Lu Yongchuan’s head, but Niu Batian’s body suddenly disappeared. It was as if time had suddenly stopped, and he had never existed here.

White God widened his eyes and looked at Lu Yongchuan. Lu Yongchuan’s hand was still raised, but Niu Batian had clearly disappeared.

“What did you do to Niu Batian?”

White God took a step forward, and his body instantly expanded dozens of times. His huge body arrived in front of Lu Yongchuan, and an incomparably huge force instantly enveloped Lu Yongchuan.

The power emitted by White God suppressed everyone, including the humans of Rong City below.

Lu Yongchuan pondered silently and ignored White God. He only lowered his head as if he was thinking about something.

White God carefully sensed the aura on Lu Yongchuan’s body. This aura should not be wrong. However, with Lu Yongchuan’s strength, how could he kill Niu Batian immediately?

There was a difference in strength between the two of them to begin with. It was impossible for Lu Yongchuan to defeat Niu Batian. Moreover, Niu Batian’s skin was thick. If the two of them really fought, it would probably take days and nights to determine the winner. Even though he had been ambushed, it was impossible for Niu Batian to be easily stabbed in the chest like tofu.

White God’s heart was in turmoil, but Lu Yongchuan still remained silent. He lowered his head and pondered. It was unknown who he was talking to, but he muttered to himself. “What a pity that Black Dragon reacted.”

“You dared to injure Lord Black Dragon’s clone, you undoubtedly deserve to die.” White God announced solemnly as if he was pronouncing a crime. Immediately after, a pure white scepter made of ice crystal appeared in his hand

There was a gem emitting a colorful light on the scepter. After White God held the scepter, his entire aura rose to another level. That dignified aura made people unable to resist.

“Is this the strength of a Formation Arrangement Realm expert?”

“What a terrifying power.”

The humans below looked at White God in the sky in horror. This person with a second-grade Formation Arrangement Realm strength was indeed powerful. Even if the entire city rushed up at the same time, they could not hurt him.

However, Lu Yongchuan, who was standing in front of White God, was like a stabilizing needle in the sea. Although he was small, he stood firmly in front of White God.

Lu Yongchuan raised his head and looked at White God. His gaze was very cold and emotionless, as if he did not treat White God as his opponent at all. “I heard that the demon core of the Snowmen Clan can treat all kinds of illnesses.”

As soon as Lu Yongchuan said this, White God’s entire aura fluctuated for a moment. He looked at Lu Yongchuan angrily.

“Lu Yongchuan, I originally wanted to capture you alive and hand you over to Lord Black Dragon to deal with, but it seems like you really don’t want your life anymore!”

White God did not say anything else. He raised his scepter high and suddenly threw it at Lu Yongchuan. A huge amount of energy brewed in the sky, as if a demon god was pressing down on Lu Yongchuan’s head. This power kept gathering, and the terrifying pressure kept condensing.

A sword rose from behind Lu Yongchuan. This sword looked very small in front of White God. However, such a light sword was like a fish that swam freely in the sea. It easily passed through the scepter and White God’s body.

The pure white scepter stopped above Lu Yongchuan’s head, as if it had turned into an ice sculpture. Together with White God’s body, it formed this pure white ice sculpture.

Everyone held their breaths. They did not know why White God had stopped what he was doing. All of this looked too strange. White God had just wanted to execute Lu Yongchuan with great momentum, but now, both of them were stuck here. They did not know what they were doing.

“Divine King!”

The snowmen all looked at the White God in the sky, but in the blink of an eye, the White God and Lu Yongchuan disappeared.

The dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, revealing light in the dim yellow sky. The White God that stood between heaven and earth and covered the sky had disappeared. No one knew if he was alive or dead. In fact, there was no sign of life at all.

The snowmen stared at the sky in shock. They kept looking for their Divine King, but they could not find him. It was as if he had dissipated into thin air.

“He’s not there?”

“Divine King?”

“My Lord?”

The Linlu Clan and the Bull Clan were also in chaos. The subordinates led by the three demons began to retreat in a mess. Their boss had disappeared all of a sudden, so it was useless for them to stay. Moreover, who did this? Who killed all three bosses at the same time?

There seemed to be a powerful mysterious person here. This mysterious person did not even reveal his strength and had instantly disintegrated the threat brought by the three lords. There was actually such a powerful expert hidden in the human race. He was completely different from the human elder who had bravely died just now.

The demons had thought that most of the humans were like the First Elder. They did not have much strength and were just a little energetic. But now, it seemed like their thoughts were so ridiculous.

“Retreat!” Someone shouted out loud.

After this shout, the entire demon camp was instantly in chaos. Everyone retreated anxiously and fled crazily like a pot of ants.

The humans were guarding Rong City and did not dare to chase after them. Although the demons outside had already fallen apart, the strength of these demons was not something they could provoke.

The human race was still too weak now. However, they did not know why the expert from the Linlu Clan suddenly changed sides and dealt with the lords of the other two demon races.

All the humans looked at the sky in confusion. They did not know if they should celebrate or worry that another demon lord would make a comeback. Since that demon could easily deal with the other two demons, it should be easy for him to occupy Rong City.

Ye Qiluo stared blankly in the direction where Lu Yongchuan had disappeared. This person’s technique, that powerful sword intent, and the way he had disappeared were all so similar.

Was he Li Yuanqing??Ye Qiluo asked herself.

The generals behind hurriedly rushed up and helped Ye Qiluo to the back.

“City Lord, are you alright?”

“City Lord, it seems to be fine now.”

Ye Qiluo comforted everyone as she circulated her energy to heal her injuries. “Although it seems like the danger has been resolved a little, we still can’t let our guard down. We must be on guard in case they make a comeback.”

“City Lord, don’t worry. We’ll get the city guards to change shifts now so that the city guards can have a chance to rest.”

The general hurriedly retreated. Although he knew that this might be meaningless, there was only so much they could do now. If they could not even do this well, they would probably be destroyed.

Ye Qiluo looked at the people around her and said, “Don’t waste time with me. I’ll be fine. Go and strengthen your defense so that the energy consumed by the city protection array can be replenished.”

“Yes, City Lord!”

They looked at Ye Qiluo reluctantly and slowly retreated, leaving her alone in the room.

Ye Qiluo’s breathe in and out evenly, and slowly checked her injuries. Although they had not fought head-on just now, the aura in Ye Qiluo’s body was extremely chaotic, causing her to be injured. However, these would recover after resting for a period of time. It was not a serious injury.

“City Lord Ye.”

This was an extremely familiar voice. Even when she slept occasionally, she would hear this man who was like a savior in her dreams. He was here again.

Ye Qiluo suddenly opened her eyes. It was Li Yuanqing.

“I knew it was you!”

Ye Qiluo suddenly stood up, but she was wrapped in a gentle energy and gently sat down again.

“You’re still injured. You should recuperate first.”

“Young Master Li, thank you so much. Without you, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have survived this no matter what.”

Ye Qiluo looked at Li Yuanqing gratefully. It could be said that Li Yuanqing had saved all the citizens of Rong City this time. If not for Li Yuanqing, the city would probably have become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Li Yuanqing did not care much about this. He said casually, “We’re all humans, so we naturally have to support each other. However, the strength of the human race still has to increase quickly. I can’t be here every time.”

Ye Qiluo looked at Li Yuanqing guiltily and said, “I’m really ashamed. However, the human race has been suppressed in the catacombs for many years. The demons have plundered countless Dharma treasures. They’re powerful, and it’s indeed difficult to catch up in a short period of time.”

Li Yuanqing stood by the window and looked at the humans outside. They were still busy setting up the city defense fortifications. Even ordinary humans were busy running around and doing their best for the defense of Rong City. Although they were not strong enough, their cohesion was far from what the demons could compare to.

Ye Qiluo fell silent as she spoke. Her bright eyes stared blankly at Li Yuanqing’s back.

Li Yuanqing turned around when he heard no sound behind him. “City Lord Ye, are you alright?”

Ye Qiluo blushed and hurriedly turned her head away. She stood up straight and heaved a deep sigh of relief. “Young Master Li, don’t mind me. My injuries aren’t serious. I can continue to lead everyone in battle.”

“That’s good.”

“Were the three demon kings killed by you?” Ye Qiluo looked at Li Yuanqing curiously. “I saw Lu Yongchuan changing sides and went against the other two demon kings just now. I feel that this person’s aura is a little familiar. He should be an illusion of you, right?”

“That’s right. I dealt with Lu Yongchuan earlier. Those demons shouldn’t be coming back. I should leave.”

“Young Master…”

“What is it?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just that the four great demons of Ping City are very powerful. Young Master, you have to be extremely careful!”
