Chapter 1254: The Monarch Token!

The Monarch Token! . . .

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang… –

The sound of steels colliding with each other kept ringing in the air. Li Wuliang was using his long saber to knock off the swords and sabers from the enemies in the most savage way.

The over a dozen men in black suits who fought Li Wuliang were all stepping back and trembling as if they were stricken by lightning. Their hands bled between the thumb and index finger!

Li Wuliang's domineering power and the weight of his huge saber had put each of the first group of enemies into a miserable situation.

One of the enemies was hit by the saber right in the face, so he suffered the strongest blast and rolled away like a ball with blood coming out from his mouth.

Apparently, he suffered severe internal injuries.

"That saber is heavy and strong. We should be careful!"

A calm voice sounded.

"Do you really think it helps to be careful?" Li Wuliang shouted and rushed forward in big strides. He waved the saber up and down, making one saber light after another in the air like a screen from the sky to the earth!

He had become much more powerful than ever, but it was still difficult to fight against a bunch of level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators. However, he couldn't care less. He shouted, "Hey girls, you two just focus on yourselves. Try to get better and recover soon. As long as I am still standing, you won't need to open your eyes! Nobody is able to touch any of the six of you even on the hair!"

His thick and deep voice sounded incredibly confident and gave the two ladies confidence too. His big and strong figure standing in the dark shadows of the forest was like the stature of a god. He was confronting over one hundred men on his own vigorously, and wherever he went over, the enemies were down with injuries.

With his skillful attacks and strong saber lights, none of the enemies could rival him!

One man stood on the way, but even ten thousand men couldn't get him over!

He alone was like a huge iron plate sticking in the middle between the two sides!

Yue Shuang and Yue Han understood that Li Wuliang was fighting in full power so as to earn an opportunity and enough time for them to recover.

If they could recover even a little bit, it might bring an excellent opportunity to win the battle.

The two ladies were almost exhausted. They really needed the opportunity to sit in meditation and rest.

They hurriedly took out a few of the supreme dan beads from each of their space rings that were given by their big brother Cha Eun Xiao. They mainly picked those dan beads that could recover energy and spiritual qi and swallowed the dan beads immediately. The continual attacks they had confronted gave them no time to even take out the dan beads. That was such an intense battle.

They wanted to swallow the dan beads, but the dan beads melted thoroughly when they touched their tongue, becoming liquid and then automatically flowing down their throats. Before they started to operate their martial arts to digest the dan beads, they already felt the flow of warmth rising inside their dantian.

The next moment, the flow suddenly started becoming a stream of enormous power flow like a running river which kept filling up their dantian until it felt like exploding. That was not done yet. The power flow started to rush out the dantian and kept filling their Jing and Mai around the whole body. They were both shocked.

[No way… We each only took two dan beads… We were almost out of energy just now, but two dan beads and over half of our powers are back…]

[What a marvelous dan! Isn't it too unbelievably powerful?]

The supreme dan beads were indeed marvelous, but it was reasonable. The two ladies had an incredible cultivation foundation. It was never a difficult thing for them to recover their spiritual qi as long as they had time to sit and rest. The dan beads they took were primarily used to boost the recovery of spiritual qi, and each of them ate two of it. It really wasn't a surprise that they could be recovered so well and fast!

However, nobody at present knew about the dan beads, not even the ladies themselves. None of the others had ever known that the two ladies had some supreme dan beads with them which only existed in legends and were used to recover spiritual qi. They actually even took two of such rare dan beads at the same time! How extravagant!

Endless white dense qi which looked like mist kept rolling up from the two ladies' bodies. Apparently, the spiritual qi had run several rounds in their bodies. The energy had almost filled them, and the wounds on their bodies started to heal slowly.

What an amazing scene. Everybody was shocked!

Li Wuliang was standing right before the two ladies, like an iron mountain blocking the enemies' attacks. The enemies kept making attacks one wave after another, which were even times more powerful than the attacks from the three factions in the old days when Li Wuliang was defeated.

The men who were not from Saint Sunlight Sect or Saint Starlight Sect were all influential figures. They were all brilliant cultivators who didn't dare to sacrifice themselves. Their moves were vicious and brutal, and they would do anything to keep attacking Li Wuliang.

However, Li Wuliang didn't even take one step back.

Every saber move he made was like a bolt of lightning. Every saber attack he made cracked the rocks and shocked the sky!

He looked calm and steady, with lights shooting out from his eyes. He stepped two the left and made a domineering saber slash—two of the enemies were hit away with blood splashing out in all directions. Li Wuliang slightly moved around and took a step on the right while performing another domineering slash. After which, another two other men were struck away with blood coming out of their mouths.

No matter how accurate and powerful the enemies' attacks were, Li Wuliang stopped them by his saber slash!

One slash with the saber knocked down ten of the aggressive attacks. That was unreasonably domineering!

The incredibly strong hit with the heavy saber seemed to be reckless and ruthless, but it was the pure art of saber moves that Li Wuliang perceived from all that he had been through in his life.

Aside from that, it was also guided by the incredible power of Tittle Phase!

To enter the Tittle Phase was the most basic requirement to super-level cultivators in Qing-Yun Realm. Every cultivator had different understandings and abilities in Tittle Phase. Some might be good at observation, some were good at diminishing, some were good at breaking fundamental rules, and some were good at compulsive enforcement!

After Li Wuliang heard about the Tittle Phase from Cha Eun Xiao, he started to imagine what ability he would master after entering Tittle Phase while he was improving himself to solve the problem between the two different powers in his body!

When Cha Eun Xiao talked to him about Tittle Phase, he was talking about the Tittle Phase of the three grand elders in Cold Moon Palace, which mainly focused on penetrating the people's weakness to defeat the enemy. Li Wuliang understood the importance of such an ability, but he knew that it was not what he needed the most. His saber art was known as domineering and aggressive.

The Tittle Phase ability of the three grand elders was too meticulous for him. He would love to learn to be more careful but couldn't do the same. That was why even after he had thoroughly solved the problem between the two types of powers, he still didn't get great progress in Tittle Phase!

When he fought against Liu Changjun not long earlier, Liu Changjun's impressive strike attack had enlightened him. Martial art was infinite in variety. He decided to walk the path that suited him the best. Other people's Tittle Phase might not be the best for him!

That was how he started to create his own Tittle Phase ability!

Usually, Tittle Phase was more about observation and penetration. However, Li Wuliang was more focusing on successive hits. His saber moves were all domineering and overwhelming, with the heavy saber and powerful blasts. That was why what he hated the most was the enemy dodging his attacks to consume his energy. However, his Tittle Phase ability was to fix that problem. He didn't focus on finding the enemy's weak points but just tried his best not to miss any hit on the enemy to force a tough crashing fight. He just kept making hard strikes and tried his best to be the stronger one. It was obvious that his Tittle Phase ability was pretty unique compared to others!

At this moment, he was putting on a great show with his almost impossible-to-miss domineering saber and took great advantages in the battle!

The men in black suits and masks had never fought Li Wuliang before and only heard about him a lot. As they finally got to experience the Fierce Blade's real power, they were all impressed and shocked by his excellence.

They had the same feeling. [This King of Saber Art is totally invincible before his enormous energy runs out! There is no way to defeat him!]

That was right. He was ruling the battle!

Whenever they started a wave of attacks, they thought that Li Wuliang would definitely step back a bit under such powerful attacks. However, the fact was that he hadn't even stepped back a bit after all the attacks of over a hundred level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators! He was standing there like a great mountain!

As he made a shout, the glaring light shined from his eyes, and he made a saber slash which was unstoppable!

The enemies couldn't even play any sneaky tricks because of Li Wuliang's impossible-to-miss saber moves. They had to keep taking the powerful hits again and again!

Some enemies used shooting weapons, which were small. These weapons were blown away by Li Wuliang's domineering power when they were flying over to him. Some bigger shooting weapons were too obvious to escape his attention and got hit away by his saber!

Suddenly, Li Wuliang was like a powerful god of war protecting the six people behind him. All the enemies had the same thought in their heads—as long as Li Wuliang was standing alive, it was impossible to kill Cha Nantian and the five ladies!

"Eighteen in a team. Let's start the continual attacks!" The leader of the enemies felt humiliated and got angry, so he coldly gave the order, "No matter which team is attacking, make sure everyone in the team attacks in full power! We must keep attacking him without a stop! I wonder if it is true that his power can't be used up!"

Li Wuliang laughed, "Come on, bastards! Let's see whether you will drag me to exhaustion or I will kill you all up!"

Suddenly, saber lights shined again, and the entire battle was full of glaring lights!

It was Li Wuliang's first large-scale area attack. In the meantime, Li Wuliang swallowed a mouthful of blood, and his face turned a bit dark red.

He was the only one who knew his situation. Facing over a hundred level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators at the same time to protect the people behind him, even if he had an iron body, he would get wounded in the fight. He had luckily entered Tittle Phase so he could make sure every strike went right on target. Although he had slashed over twenty of the enemies, he himself was severely injured, too.

The enemies had started to make the continual attacks in teams again. He couldn't wait for the enemies to consume his energy, so he had to change his battle strategy to kill as many enemies as he could as soon as possible!

Li Wuliang was experienced in battles, and he could usually choose the perfect strategy in a fight. However, he missed one thing in the current battle. What he wanted to do was to make use of the advantages of both Tittle Phase and his domineering saber art to operate an indiscriminate area attack. Although it did expand the area of effect, but it lost the abilities of impossible-to-miss and deadly-slash. His power was disrupted, and neither the Tittle Phase nor his domineering saber art was perfectly operated. It didn't bring a more powerful blast as he expected. Instead, it failed to threaten the level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators and allowed the enemies to prepare making successive attacks. Eventually, his mistake had led him into a pretty unsatisfactory situation!

He was an expert in martial arts, so he realized the mistake pretty quickly and changed the plan immediately. At the moment, what he wanted to do the most was to focus on one strike at a time. The enemies had started a battle of attrition and kept getting over to Li Wuliang like tides. Li Wuliang made a long shout, causing his hair and beard to stand up. He made three steps ahead along with three saber strikes. Those strikes produced a flow of energy like falling water coming down from the sky!

With a hard crash, blood mist suddenly splashed into the air and spread out. Six of the eighteen enemies in the team that was attacking got hit by the slash and became broken pieces of meat! The other twelve were all blasted away by that unbelievably strong saber attack!

The three slashes were the best work of Li Wuliang in his life, the three most powerful attacks that made certain kills!

The three slashes were apparently powerful enough, but that was the best of him. That long shout he just made was not only to strengthen his attacks, but also to warn Yue Shuang and Yue Han. [Come on, girls. I can't keep this going forever. I am losing!]

Almost at the same time, Yue Shuang and Yue Han both opened their eyes which were shining with blinding lights.

The two of them took a step forward at the same time, their swords similar to two long flying dragons in the air. The swords kept moving in the air and made a huge net of sword energy, blocking all the attacks in all directions. Li Wuliang hurriedly took a step back and moved behind Yue Shuang and Yue Han. Before he had time to rest and gasp, he spat out a mouthful of blood to the floor.

The eighteen level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators together made such a sharp strike. Even Li Wuliang couldn't hold on anymore. After doing great damage to the enemies, he himself was severely injured, and his spiritual energy was almost used up. He hurriedly put both hands on the handle of his saber and started resting in meditation.

As he loosened the tension, he suddenly felt that his body was breaking down into pieces. After blocking away the attacks of the enemies thousands of times, if he hadn't been trained by the two streams of great powers inside his body, he might have been torn into pieces or exploded in a blast.

Yue Shuang hurriedly threw over a little jade bottle to him with two spiritual dan beads inside.

Li Wuliang caught the bottle and directly put the bottle into his mouth. – Crack! – He cracked the bottle with his teeth and immediately swallowed the two dan beads. After which, he spat out the broken pieces of the jade bottle like spitting out the shell of fried seeds…

It wasn't some useless move to spit the cracked bottle pieces out. He shot them out of his mouth for a specific reason!

Two enemies who were quickly coming over to attack suddenly gave a screech and started to bleed in the nose. The pieces of the jade bottle that shot out from Li Wuliang's mouth had directly hit those enemies' nose! That broken bottle was just like a powerful shooting weapon!

Nobody had ever expected that this heroic tough man actually used a shooting weapon… The two enemies couldn't see any danger coming when the broken jade bottle pieces shot over, so they got hit right on the face and started to bleed. Tears almost streamed out from their eyes because of the immense pain.

Yue Shuang and Yue Han worked together and didn't let go of any chance to cause damage to the enemy's force. They immediately paid attention to the two men who got hit on the face and killed them both with their beautiful shining sword lights. The two men with tears, snots, and blood on the faces suddenly became two dead men.

If they could still see their bodies after they died, they would cry out in tears for real!

Nobody knew that Li Wuliang would show up and help the two ladies, and nobody knew that it took such a short time for the two ladies to recover their powers. They weren't completely recovered yet, but at least eighty percent!

The men in black suits and masks were all shocked. The latter group was here with a mission to assassinate the two ladies so they couldn't let them get away. The first group also knew that letting the ladies go would become a huge problem for their sects in the future…

Therefore, although the two groups of enemies didn't know each other… Wait. It was a wrong statement that they didn't know each other…

The two great sects' men didn't know the other group of people indeed… However, the other group of people knew the two great sects pretty well.

The two ladies had restored their powers. If the enemies kept attacking, it would only consume their energy for nothing, so the leaders of the two groups of people both waved their hands to retreat. In the short break, the two group of people in black clothes quickly became allies in the battle.

[What I want is what you want. My enemy's enemy is my friend!]

[We are now fighting the same people anyway.]

"We should work together and get the seven people killed! That would be the best ending for both of us!"

The two groups of people in black suits had come to the same conclusion, so they moved together to surround the seven people in a circle. A more grievous fight was going to start at any second.

The situation had changed in the battle this time. Yue Shuang and Yue Han had been proceeding with the fight under Cha Nantian's instructions, so they had been occupying the advantage all the time. The two great sects' people were totally wracked, and even the great elder of the two sects couldn't stop losing. If the latter group of people didn't arrive and break the plan, the two sects' people should have been defeated. The two great sects' people didn't all die instead. About forty of them were still alive. Now that they had joined the other group of mysterious cultivators, the two ladies were going to face over one hundred and fifty enemies in total. That was some united force that was strong enough to deal with the two ladies and Li Wuliang at the same time.

Besides, the two ladies would have to stay and fight till the end because they couldn't abandon Cha Nantian and Yue Gongxue!

That was why it was a perfect plan for the enemies to make a battle of attrition.

If the two ladies were free to go, they should have long broken through the encirclement and fled away.

Now, it was an excellent opportunity for the men in black clothes to kill the three powerful cultivators once and for all.

In fact, that was why Cha Nantian and Yue Gongxue were still alive in such a severe fight, even after suffering some injuries. No matter how protective Li Wuliang and the two ladies were, they couldn't make sure Cha Nantian and Yue Gongxue were always behind the enemies' reach. In such a battle, weak cultivators like Cha Nantian and Yue Gongxue should have been dead a long time! Even though they got lucky sometimes, they couldn't always be lucky enough to escape death!

Yue Shuang, Yue Han, and Li Wuliang all knew the reason why the enemies didn't try their best to kill the other people. However, Cha Nantian and Yue Gongxue were Cha Eun Xiao's parents. Li Wuliang and the two ladies had to keep fighting!

None of them could live with the guilt of watching Cha Eun Xiao's parents die in front of them… Even if they fled away, what were they going to say when they met Cha Eun Xiao after letting his parents die in the enemies' hands?

"Fight to the end!"

Li Wuliang and the two ladies exchanged looks. It was the first time they met each other, but they were quite understanding to each other.

[Brother was right to make friends with this man.] The two ladies had the same thought.

[These two ladies deserve to be Cha Eun Xiao's sisters!] Li Wuliang praised in his heart.

Both sides had made up their minds to fight until the end.

The battle would only end when one side died out!

However, something unexpected happened again at this critical moment!

Suddenly, a howl of a hawk echoed from the sky.

The hawk was moving like a magnificent and translucent rainbow, tearing the sky at an incredible speed.

A golden rainbow crossed the sky in everybody's sight.

Bling! –

A beam of blinding golden light shot down and hit a tree trunk between the two sides in the battle.

It was shining with a glaring light.

A token.

On the token, there was a tassel flying in the air, which was beautiful.

The token faced up. It was a shape of a human hand. The five fingers were slightly bent, but it wasn't closed to make it fist. It showed the palm of the hand, where a pattern of the sun and the moon was engraved.

It was like the hand holding the sun and the moon!

The sun and the moon in hand!

It was just a token coming down from the sky, but it was showing the power of a conqueror.

The people on both sides of the battle saw the token and automatically took a step back.

The men from the two great sects saw the token and started to tremble. They looked on in disbelief and extreme shock at the same time, as if they were looking at a ghost in daytime. On the other hand, Yue Shuang and Yue Han almost jumped up in glee! Li Wuliang pursed his lips and showed an indifferent expression, but deep in his heart, he was comforted and happy!

The sun and the moon in hand, the monarch descends to the world!

The token was exactly the Monarch Token!

It was the authenticating object of Xiao Monarch when he was still traveling in Qing-Yun Realm!

The appearance of the Monarch Token meant the presence of Xiao Monarch.

This token hadn't been seen for many years, yet suddenly, at this critical moment, it showed up.

It was known that Xiao Monarch had died. They wondered where this token came from?

Who was it? Who showed the token to the crowd?
