I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 153 The Ending Battle
Li Qingyun is dead!
This scene was too sudden and too shocking. Everyone was shocked beyond words by this unexpected change.

Especially for the heroes of Kaifeng Prefecture, this was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, instantly extinguishing everyone's last hope and plunging the entire battlefield into deathly silence.

"How can it be……"

Xu Liang and Bai Yunrui murmured to themselves, their voices full of confusion and sadness.

They couldn't understand how the young man who held so many secrets, who had repeatedly created miracles and overcome desperate situations, could suddenly lose control and collapse without any warning.

Especially since Li Qingyun has persisted under the influence of the evil god's power for so long, it doesn't look like he has reached his limit.

Mu Guiying, Zhang Shouzhen and others who were trying hard to use divine light to attack the Netherworld Shield were also horrified, with unwillingness and anger in their eyes, but also mixed with deep helplessness and despair.

The death of Li Qingyun, the only person who could get close to Lu Zhen, might mean that the last hope had been completely shattered.

Not only will they fail to prevent the disaster, but they themselves will become victims of the evil god's arrival.

“Hahaha…it’s finally over!”

Qiu Wang's wild laughter sounded particularly harsh in the dead silence. His eyes were full of excitement and fanaticism. "The descent of God cannot be reversed. Li Qingyun is dead. All of you will soon become sacrifices for the arrival of the Faceless Immortal. I will receive the gift of God and break through the sixth realm in one fell swoop by sacrificing your flesh and blood!"

Xiao Wuli also sneered and echoed:
"Unfortunately... this time we caused trouble in the capital, but we didn't attract enough experts. If a few more experts on the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Rankings came, we could even be on par with the gods through the Divine Descent Ceremony and become an eternal legend in the world!"

After hearing these words, Mu Guiying and everyone present suddenly realized that Xiao Woli had sneaked into the capital and even set up the Tongtian Arena in order to attract more powerful people to come as sacrifices for the gods to descend.

The entire plan was a conspiracy from the very beginning, an elaborately planned, step-by-step trap, the purpose of which was to lure all of the Song Dynasty's top masters to Bianliang City and provide sufficient power for the evil god's arrival.

Even the clues of secret communications and the intelligence secretly and anonymously handed over to Kaifeng Prefecture and Tianbo Prefecture were probably deliberately done by Xiao Woli, with the purpose of secretly leading the powerful people of the Song Dynasty into their trap.

Many heroes were thus drawn into an endless conspiracy, controlled by invisible hands from beginning to end, and walked step by step towards the altar of the evil god and into the abyss of darkness...

"I see……"

Mu Guiying's heart was chilled. As the commander-in-chief of the Song State, she thought further than others and was more aware of the seriousness of the matter.

If the divine descent ritual succeeds, the Song Dynasty will suffer a great loss of vitality. Not only will the cultivators and civilians suffer heavy casualties, but the Song Dynasty may also be unable to resist the invasion of the Liao Dynasty and the Western Xia.

The balance of the entire world will be broken, and the Song Dynasty, which has already been in a corner, will fall into an unprecedented crisis.

……

Beside Su Yue'e, Li Qingyun's shattered flesh and blood quickly dried up and turned into wisps of ashes, scattering silently in the air, as if this young hero had never existed.

His remaining breath completely disappeared as the ashes scattered, taking away the last glimmer of hope and vitality.

At the same time, strange tentacles continued to extend from the cracks on Lu Zhen's forehead. Those tentacles seemed to have their own consciousness and quickly wrapped around Su Yue'e's body.

Lu Zhen's flesh and blood slowly disintegrated under the influence of an indescribable force, and was sacrificed to an unfathomable existence in the dark. Each piece of disintegrated flesh and blood seemed to light a bright lamp, illuminating the position of the human world in the void, waiting for the arrival of the mysterious existence.

And those enemies, Qiu Wang, Xiao Woli and Zhu Chengxi, stood not far away, their eyes full of madness and confidence. They believed that the coming of the gods would completely rewrite the fate of the human world, and they would become the controllers of the new order and the rulers under the gods.

The strange laughter echoed in the air, full of ridicule and contempt, as if announcing their impending victory, while also mercilessly mocking the futile efforts of Mu Guiying and others.

The laughter pierced everyone's heart and made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

……

"We can't just give up!"

Mu Guiying shouted loudly, her voice full of determination.

There was a determined light in her eyes. She raised her white hands and two flying knives instantly flew out from her palms, cutting through the air and piercing straight at the shield that Su Yue'e had condensed with the power of the underworld at lightning speed.

The flying knife carried all her determination and faith, and the moment it touched the barrier, it exploded like two blooming white lotuses, emitting dazzling light.

The incense god's life-saving magic weapon was connected to her life and death. This explosion dealt a heavy blow to Mu Guiying's soul. Her face turned pale in an instant, and blood spurted out of her mouth uncontrollably.

Even so, her gaze remained firm and unwavering.

"Yes, we will die anyway, let's fight them!"

Zhang Shouzhen was also aroused. He gritted his teeth and drove his natal sword ball out. It also exploded the moment it touched the barrier, making an earth-shaking roar.

His body was shaking violently under the strong backlash, blood was flowing from all his seven orifices, his hair was disheveled, and he no longer had the demeanor of a strong and domineering man in the past. But despite this, he still did not retreat a single step, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness and indomitable spirit.

Inspired by the two powerful men, the other cultivators no longer hesitated and used their strongest methods at all costs.

Suddenly, attacks like rain hitting banana leaves fell densely on the barrier in front of Su Yue'e, launching one final round of charge after another.

However, the reality is extremely cruel, and the huge gap in realm is like an insurmountable chasm.

The huge impact force caused the barrier to tremble violently, and it was shaky and cracked several times. However, it was constantly repaired under the blessing of the evil god's power and remained standing, ruthlessly blocking everyone's hope.
Behind the barrier, powerful evil god aura continued to surge out of Lu Zhen's body, like an invisible black tide, quickly penetrating into the body of the baby in Su Yue'e's belly.

As time passed, the baby's breath became more and more terrifying, and the baby's crying became more and more shrill. The coming of the evil god was irreversible, as if the bell of doomsday was ringing.

Mu Guiying clenched her teeth, and a pure white light appeared all over her body, which was a manifestation of the power of the incense burning to the extreme.

She knew that this was the final moment of life and death. If she could not stop all this, the Song Dynasty would be completely destroyed by the coming of the evil god.

At this critical moment, she made the final decision. A trace of deathly intent flashed in her eyes, and she no longer hesitated in her heart.

The people of Tianbo Mansion have always been brave. Even though the situation was so desperate, Mu Guiying still couldn't let herself and her companions surrender and give up at the last moment.

She was prepared to sacrifice her life for her country, to self-destruct and to launch a final attack.

Even if this attack cannot completely destroy the barrier, it must create a last chance for companions.

"mother!"

Mother and son are connected by heart. Yang Jinhua, who was not far away, immediately realized Mu Guiying's decision and shouted at the top of her lungs. "Child, protect your brother. When mother leaves, you should go to the front line of Xixia to join your brother. Don't stay in the capital!"

Mu Guiying's voice message was full of reluctance and farewell as a mother, and she gave her final instructions.

"Master, I am an unfilial disciple. I will die on the battlefield today and cannot complete the mission you gave me..."

She murmured to herself, her body gradually enveloped by a blazing white light, which became brighter and brighter, as if it was about to burn everything and release the most deadly power...

……

At the moment when Mu Guiying decided to sacrifice herself for justice and blow up her soul, the situation on the field changed again.

Lu Zhen, who had already lost control and collapsed and kept sacrificing flesh and blood, actually stood up slowly in the astonished eyes of everyone.

His eyes were no longer empty and blank, but were shining with a bright light, revealing clarity and determination, as if he had regained his will.

All this happened so suddenly that everyone present was stunned. Even Mu Guiying stopped in mid-air, not daring to act rashly.

What was even more bizarre was that the mutation in Lu Zhen's body suddenly began to reverse. The skin that was originally filled with evil spirits gradually returned to its original state, the hideous crack on his forehead quickly closed, and the tentacles that stretched out from it actually evaporated and disappeared in the sunlight.

In just a few breaths, "Fen Zidu's" body had recovered as before, as if it had never been invaded by the evil god.

At this moment, the terrifying and boiling power of the evil god in the dark was cut off from its source and began to dissipate rapidly.

Even the cry of the baby in Su Yue'e's belly became weaker.

"What happened! Why was the ceremony interrupted?"

Qiu Wang was shocked and his face turned pale in an instant.

He was completely unable to understand the changes before his eyes. All of this was against common sense and far exceeded his expectations and plans.

According to common sense, Lu Zhen has been completely controlled by the power of the "Faceless Immortal" and, as a devout believer, has completed the last step of the divine descent ceremony.

This is also the part of the entire plan where accidents are least likely to occur, because with Lu Zhen's mortal body, he is simply unable to resist the power of the gods.

The power of the Faceless Immortal has been planted in his body for a long time and has a solid foundation. Unless his cultivation reaches the seventh level or above and he possesses the status and divinity of a demigod, it will be impossible for him to easily erase the seeds of divine power and control his own destiny and will.

After the Second War of Gods, it was impossible for beings of that level to appear in the human world.

It is precisely because of this that Qiu Wang is full of confidence in the entire plan and believes that no force can prevent the completion of the God's Descent Ceremony.

Lu Zhen actually recovered his mind and body at the critical moment and interrupted the divine descent ceremony. This is simply an incredible miracle!
Mu Guiying, Zhang Shouzhen, Xiahou Ren and others were also shocked beyond words by this scene, and the battlefield that was about to fall into despair also saw a turning point because of this.

……

Qiu Wang was the first to react. A fierce look flashed across his eyes, and he shouted anxiously:
"Hurry up and control him! Don't let him escape!"

Although he couldn't figure out what went wrong for a moment, he understood that Lu Zhen's existence was crucial to their plan. If they let this sacrifice run away, their carefully designed plan of God's descent would fail.

Qiu Wang rushed towards Lu Zhen first, with a strong hatred in his heart.

As a messenger of the Wu Shi Religion, he could certainly serve as a sacrifice to complete the divine descent ceremony, but such a result would be meaningless to him.

As a sacrifice for praying for the descent of God and locating the gods in the upper realm, he will endure tremendous pain and torture, and eventually die, losing his life and being unable to enjoy the great benefits brought by the new world and the new order.

This went against the goals he had carefully planned for many years and was simply an unacceptable outcome.

"You can't escape!"

Xiao Woli also reacted immediately, with soul energy condensing around him, and he quickly used his signature skill - the "Soul Nightmare Curse"!
In an instant, the light around suddenly dimmed, and countless cold black filaments emerged in the deep void, wrapping around Lu Zhen like poisonous snakes.

Each thread contains a powerful nightmare force. Any living being that is touched will be forcibly pulled into the dreamland by the "cursed master" and become a walking corpse that only obeys orders.

At the same time, evil energy surged in Qiu Wang's body, and he opened the "Door to the Fantasy World" without hesitation.

The ancient bronze gate suddenly appeared in the void, covered with mottled rust and exuding a cold and strange atmosphere.

A pair of dark blue arms covered with dense eyes stretched out from inside, like evil spirits from the underworld, and grabbed Lu Zhen madly, trying to pull him into the endless abyss.

Under the attack from both sides by two powerful fifth-level masters, a third-level "psychic" seemed so weak. The spiritual power in his body was dim, like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any time.

"Save Lu Zhen!"

Mu Guiying shot out like lightning, with the purifying divine light on her body shining brightly like a scorching sun, rushing towards the filaments of nightmare.

At the same time, Zhang Shouzhen didn't even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He used the Five Thunder Technique with his injuries, and flew towards the door to the fantasy world with his flying wings.

The two top masters of the Earthly Demon List seemed to have telepathic connection and cooperated with each other seamlessly.

The focus of the dispute between the two sides instantly shifted from Su Yue'e to Lu Zhen.

Whether the fans can escape has become the key to the outcome of this battle.

Once he is rescued by people from the Song Dynasty, as long as he holds out until Lu Dongbin and Zhongli Quan return from the illusory world of Taixu, he will be able to crush the conspiracy of the gods.

On the contrary, if the Wu Shi Sect were to control Lu Zhen and force the sacrifice to begin, the situation would once again become desperate.

Just as the two forces were entangled in a desperate struggle, Lu Zhen suddenly transformed himself into an eagle, spread his wings and flew straight into the sky.

The eagle's feathers sparkled with a metallic luster, and as its wings spread, a gust of wind was created. Its figure instantly rose up, and its powerful body broke through the net and disappeared in full view of everyone.

Lu Zhen actually escaped from the battlefield so casually, completely freed from the control of the God's Descent Ritual, and did not even leave any trace...
