Chapter 56 - Nine

When Li Yuanqing went to pull Li Huanjun, his aura had already begun to weaken. It was impossible to forcefully raise his realm with medicine. Moreover, even a first-stage Grotto-Heaven realm Martial Saint would not be able to withstand the Ba Serpent’s attack. It was no different from throwing an egg at a rock.

However, Li Huanjun’s charge had aroused the hatred of everyone in the Northern Kingdom.

The Emperor was the first to charge forward without fear of death. How could they dare to live?

The high-level martial artists also stood in a row, ready to die at any moment. However, Li Yuanqing, who had descended from the sky to catch their Emperor, attracted everyone’s attention.

Some people’s eyes burned. Could this be the mysterious guardian of the Northern Kingdom?

Those who raised their heads saw that in the dark sky, Li Yuanqing, who was dressed in white, was like an immortal who had descended from the sky, giving hope to everyone in the Imperial City.

If he could save the Emperor, could he also save them?

Hu Jiujiu, who was standing behind Zhaoyang, also saw her master, Li Yuanqing. He landed on the ground and put down Li Huanjun, who was already on the verge of collapse. He signaled for help, but he was already on the verge of death.

His life was about to end. His father would not live for long!

Hu Jiujiu walked behind Li Yuanqing. At this moment, she was dressed in red. She nodded at Li Yuanqing and jumped up to charge at the Ba Serpent.

.

Her cultivation level was actually very high, almost at the second-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm. Her cultivation level was already not bad among Martial Saints.

Moreover, she had protected Princess Zhaoyang for so many years and almost nothing had ever happened to her. In the eyes of some citizens of the Northern Kingdom, she was the princess’ guardian, the guardian of the entire Northern Kingdom.

Her master was already about to make a move. Hu Jiujiu naturally understood what Li Yuanqing meant as a servant controlled by the Manipulation Art.

When Li Huanjun was shot down just now, she could clearly feel the change in her master’s emotions.

This Ba-Serpent had to die!

Therefore, she rushed up. Hu Jiujiu, who was originally dressed in red in the sky, suddenly became huge. Moreover, she was no longer maintaining her human form. Instead, she let out a sharp cry and summoned the Qilin Beast.

Moreover, behind her, nine huge tails spread out, causing the commoners below the Imperial City to be dumbfounded.

The one guarding their Northern Kingdom was a vicious beast, a nine-tailed fox?

This was simply unbelievable?

However, Hu Jiujiu’s nine tails, which were swaying one by one, revealed nine different colors after she revealed her true form. It was very strange and different from the legendary nine-tailed fox.

She was not a nine-tailed fox. She was a nine-tailed heavenly fox with a stronger bloodline than a nine-tailed fox. It was the legendary heavenly fox that would occasionally descend to the human world in ancient times.

Li Yuanqing was also shocked. Hu Jiujiu was a Heavenly Fox?

It was also Li Yuanqing’s first time seeing Hu Jiujiu reveal her true form. Her true form almost enveloped the entire Imperial City, and she slapped the Ba Serpent!

Her sharp claws were much more powerful than Li Huanjun’s sword. She waved her claws and the Ba Serpent in the sky twisted violently. A rain of blood fell from the sky and landed on the ground of the Imperial City.

It was the blood of the Ba-Serpent!

The Ba Serpent’s scales had been injured by Hu Jiujiu’s claw, and the Qilin Beast had already rushed over. It roared at the Ba Serpent and its entire body kept growing!

The houses that were under the feet of the Qilin Beast collapsed one after another. This fellow was too big. These houses could not withstand its weight at all!

“Wilderness, there are still four hours left!” Li Yuanqing suddenly shouted these words at Hu Jiujiu. Others might not understand, but Hu Jiujiu knew what her master meant.

He asked them to lure the Ba Serpent to the Wilderness and give him four hours to set up the Great Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array.

They could prevent the Ba-Serpent from entering the Imperial City. If not, ordinary commoners would all enter the stomach of the Ba-Serpent.

Hu Jiujiu screamed and rushed towards the Ba Serpent again. Her true form was stronger than the Ba Serpent bloodline, but she had not recovered from her injuries and her strength was greatly reduced.

The Ba Serpent was furious after being scratched by her. It couldn’t care less about the food in the Imperial City and wanted to devour Hu Jiujiu!

The Qilin Beast rushed up and tore at the Ba Serpent. They kept moving towards the Wilderness from the sky of the Imperial City. However, it was dark and gloomy along the way. Blood rain kept falling from the ground. In the end, they couldn’t even tell who it belonged to.

Li Yuanqing sensed Hu Jiujiu’s aura. Even if she couldn’t kill the Ba Serpent, it shouldn’t be a problem to stall it for a few hours.

Li Yuanqing spent all his time nervously setting up the Great Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array.

The Ba Serpent had just woken up when it encountered an opponent like Hu Jiujiu. It felt unbearably hungry and wanted to see the countless food in the Imperial City.

It took the time to turn around and run back. It wanted to eat food before dealing with these two detestable opponents and then tear them apart!

There was still a distance from the Wilderness to the Imperial City, but it was very close for the Ba Serpent. However, it was injured. When the blood dripped down, it turned into a rain of blood.

When it arrived at the Imperial City, its eyes were red. It had to devour even more to increase its strength because it was injured.

Therefore, the Ba Serpent charged into the Imperial City and opened its huge bloody mouth to devour it.

The sky, which had slowly turned bright after the Ba-Serpent left, suddenly turned dark again. Furthermore, a huge black hole appeared in the sky, accompanied by an irresistible devouring power.

It was by relying on this devouring power that the Ba Serpent could become stronger and stronger. As long as it devoured this food, that fox was not its match at all!

The Ba-Serpent took a deep breath at the Imperial City, only to see the entire dark Imperial City suddenly light up.

Starting from the city wall, the entire Imperial City lit up like a sea of fire.

That light made the Ba-Serpent, who was using its devouring power, instantly feel as if it had sucked the light into its body. However, that light made it feel intense pain.

Its outer skin was extremely tough. Even Hu Jiujiu’s sharp claws would at most cause it to bleed, but it would not endanger its life. However, this light made its body hurt. It was so painful that it spat out a lot of blood. Blood rained down on the entire Imperial City.

This Ba Serpent’s blood was everywhere because it was too big. The Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array had already begun to activate!

At this moment, Li Yuanqing was staring at the Ba Serpent. He had already taken out the Clear Sky Sword in his hand and slashed at the Ba Serpent!

A black light flashed past. Li Yuanqing, who could have slashed open the mountain with his sword, only managed to cut open the skin of the Ba Serpent, causing more blood to flow out of its body.

The rain of blood continued to fall.

The members of the Ba-Serpent clan knelt down when they saw this, especially the envoy. He was trembling in fear. The Ba-Serpent was injured, so they were doomed.

This was absolutely intolerable!

At this moment, the Ba-Serpent Patriarch did something strange. He kept drawing circles on his body!
