Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 373: Chapter 12: Ancestral Divine Weapon, Touching the Limits (Added for Alliance Hierarch 'M wu mian', Thank you)_2

"I can smell it; I can already smell it."

The wealthy old master's eyes shone: "It's so fragrant, quick, give it to me."

As he spoke, he raised his hand with force, and the swaddling cloth, along with the baby inside, flew towards him.

The child in the swaddling cloth was a newborn baby, but its cheeks and arms were covered with fine scales, and it had a snakelike tail, twisted and covered with a mucus that had yet to fall off.

Such a monstrous child, however, made the wealthy old master's eyes sparkle as he touched it with his palm, infatuatedly saying, "So adorable."

While talking, he rubbed it with his forehead, as if showing affection to the infant.

But the baby seemed to sense something, its newly opened eyes were all black without any white, and it clawed at the swaddling cloth, trying to crawl out and escape.

Just then, the wealthy old master, with a smile on his face, suddenly opened his mouth wide.

It was a fierce, gaping maw, filled with sharp teeth.

With a whoosh, he sucked the baby into his mouth and began to chew vigorously.

"So delicious."

"Are there still demons that specifically rear the Human Race to eat their young?"

"Hmm, and the population of these demons is vast. They must learn to escape from their nests as soon as they are born; otherwise, they will be eaten by the birthing mother."

Following these words, the gleam of a saber and the shadow of a sword shot forth simultaneously.

The wealthy old master, mid-chew, was surprised and immediately struck by the saber light but dodged the sword shadow.

With a spurt, the saber light tore open a large swath of armor-like scales on his chest.

His body became fierce, his head bulging, and his eyes ruthless: "Who is it?!"

Li Hao and Li Xiaoran had no intention of wasting words with this demon and launched a direct attack, with just the residual waves from their strikes killing both the nearby manservant and the midwife.

The butler transformed into a demon, exuding the aura of the Three Immortal Realms.

Seeing this, Li Hao did not hesitate and slashed with his sword.

His Skill Points were still quite abundant, having enhanced his Swordsmanship to level 6, and at that moment his sword light fell like stars and lightning, reaching its target in an instant.

Li Xiaoran's Ends of the Earth Carefree Saber was derived from the "Endless Sea" Swordsmanship, and Li Hao's move was the same, reducing the distance instantly, almost a guaranteed hit.

Both demons' bodies were sent flying backward, the wealthy old master was still breathing, but the butler was dead, his body cleaved in two by Li Hao's sword light, utterly unable to resist.

Li Hao had long realized that Li Xiaoran also had grasped the "Endless Sea" Swordsmanship, extracting its Sword Intent and merging it into his own saber technique, meaning, this fourth uncle possessed not only a peerless talent in sword arts but also a high aptitude in swordsmanship.

"That a Demon King has infiltrated here, this is serious."

As Li Hao spoke, he quickly joined the battle alongside Li Xiaoran.

"You wretches of the Li Family, I didn't collude with the demons outside the city; I just wanted to settle down here, why do you have to ruin my good fortune!" the wealthy old master roared, already revealing his true form.

But he was only at the Tao Heart Realm. Li Hao and Li Xiaoran didn't waste words and unleashed attacks like a violent storm over him. The demon's skin and scales were instantly shattered, and soon he lay in a pool of blood.

"Damn the Li Family..."

The Demon King's breath faded away.

Li Hao knelt down, stabbing his hand directly into the flesh, stirring inside while also circulating the Ten Thousand Blood True Demon Skill, absorbing the essence of the flesh and blood.

Indeed, as a Demon King, the essence within was exceedingly vigorous, comparable to a miraculous elixir.

Li Hao immediately transformed this power to condense his own Indestructible Precious Body, further refining his physical form.

His body was already tempered by the Supreme Body and True Dragon body, making it almost as robust as a sixth-forged Divine Weapon and very close to his outer body.

Now, absorbing the Demon King's blood essence, his flesh condensed, nearly reaching the strength of a seventh-forged Divine Weapon.

"Another two or three Demon Kings should do," Li Hao thought to himself.

Since he was the one to destroy the Demon King's Divine Soul, Li Hao looked at his progress towards the Mo River; it had increased by only 0.1!

And when he had just killed that demon of the Three Immortal Realms, his progress had increased by only 0.01!

Li Hao was somewhat shocked, was this some kind of joke?

Meaning, just to pass this section of the Mo River, he would need to kill 1000 Demon Kings!

Where would he find 1000 Demon Kings to kill?

A thousand of them, what a concept, that's the existence at the Four Stands Realm, not many in the entire Divine General Mansion, let alone the entire Dayu Divine Dynasty altogether doesn't have that many!

Not to mention killing them all!

"Fourth Uncle, how many days at most have you managed to defend Dragon City before?" Li Hao couldn't help but look to Li Xiaoran by his side. Experience more on m v|l -NovelBin.net

"Did you see that progress?"

Upon seeing Li Hao's shocked expression, Li Xiaoran sighed and said, "That is the difficulty of a Mo River of the ghostly city level. Within, those at the Tao Heart Realm just barely have the ability to defend themselves, and that's not absolute; if you're unlucky, you might die quickly."

"The highest progress I ever achieved was defending Dragon City for four days!"

Li Xiaoran sighed and continued, "The demons outside Dragon City are no longer those from the outskirts of Northern Yan Dragon City from before. These demons include all sorts of species that have never appeared in the Dayu Divine Dynasty, all trapped within the Mo River, imprisoned here!"

"Countless Demon Kings, just four days, and I encountered over a hundred."

As he spoke, his expression grew heavy, and he said, "Fortunately, these Demon Kings are only at the Tao Heart Realm and aren't too difficult to handle, but as one progresses further, they become stronger. Facing Demon Kings at the Peerless Technique Realm, that's truly terrifying."

The four levels of the Four Stands Realm differ greatly from each other.

Those at the Tao Heart Realm are the weakest, while those at the Peerless Technique Realm can easily kill someone at the Tao Heart Realm, possibly even with just one full-force strike!
