Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 254 Is he dead?

Gu Changzhou quickly dodged to the side, while simultaneously wielding the Molin Sword to block Xu Hechen's attack.

However, the difference in strength was too great, and with just this one move, he was sent flying and crashed onto the beach.

"Brother-in-law!"

Seeing Gu Changzhou injured, Li Qing felt a pang of anxiety, as she was nearly struck by the evil cultivator.

He suppressed his worries and continued fighting the evil cultivators.

Gu Changzhou struggled to his feet, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained resolute.

He cannot fall; Jun'er is still at a critical moment.

He must persevere.

Xu Hechen approached Gu Changzhou step by step: "I don't want to kill indiscriminately. I've said before that my goal is also to bring peace to the world. As long as you obediently surrender, I might spare your lives since you once called me master!"

Gu Changzhou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Xu Hechen, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the heart of the Demon God?"

Just then, Liu Sijun's body suddenly emitted a bright light, and the power of the Primordial Void began to fluctuate violently, with spiritual energy overflowing.

Xu Hechen and Gu Changzhou were both drawn to this sudden change.

"Could it be that she's about to successfully merge?"

Xu Hechen was startled, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

If Liu Sijun successfully merges with the remnant soul of the Creator God and finds a way to break the cycle of reincarnation, his plan will have completely failed.

As Xu Hechen looked at the intense light emanating from Liu Sijun, a sense of panic grew wildly within him.

A surge of intense resentment and fear welled up within him, turning his eyes sinister. He growled in a low voice, "We can't let her succeed!"

Xu Hechen ignored Gu Changzhou, turned around abruptly, and rushed towards Liu Sijun.

The demon heart in his hand erupted with an even more dazzling and eerie light, as if it were about to devour everything around it.

Li Qing was horrified when she saw Xu Hechen's actions.

He exerted all his strength to force back the evil cultivators around him, then quickly turned around to try to stop Xu Hechen.

"Master, you can't make the same mistake again!"

Li Qing shouted loudly, her eyes filled with anxiety and heartache.

However, Xu Hechen was blinded by desire and fear and couldn't listen to Li Qing's words at all.

His figure was like a black lightning bolt, instantly bypassing Li Qing's obstruction and arriving in front of Liu Sijun.

"Xu Hechen, you won't get away with this!"

Xu Hechen glanced at Gu Changzhou with disdain, then casually waved his hand, sending Gu Changzhou flying again with a powerful force.

Gu Changzhou fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but he still struggled to get up and continue to stop Xu Hechen.

Just as Xu Hechen was about to touch Liu Sijun, the light emanating from Liu Sijun suddenly became even more dazzling, and a powerful spiritual energy barrier spread out from her body, forcing Xu Hechen back several steps.

Xu Hechen was shaken by this force, causing his blood to surge and a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

"how is this possible?"

Xu Hechen looked at Liu Sijun in disbelief, his heart filled with anger and resentment.

He raised the Demon God's Heart once more, preparing to launch an even more powerful attack.

At this critical moment, several powerful spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly came from afar.

Tong Lei, Gao Yongxiu, and others finally arrived in time.

Seeing the scene before them, they immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Xu Hechen, how could you have fallen so low? Today we will bring you to justice!" Tong Lei roared, the magical artifact in his hand emitting a dazzling light.

Gao Yongxiu also gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes revealing a resolute killing intent.

"Xu Hechen, what happened? Why have you suddenly become like this?!"

Xu Hechen felt a slight pang in his heart when he saw Tong Lei, Gao Yongxiu, and the others arrive, but he still did not give up.

He knew there was no turning back; only by giving it his all could he achieve his goal.

"You think you can stop me? No one will ruin my plans today!" Xu Hechen laughed maniacally, then brandished the Demon God's Heart and launched an attack on Tong Lei, Gao Yongxiu, and the others.

An even fiercer battle unfolded on the shores of the East China Sea.

Tong Lei, Gao Yongxiu, and others engaged in a fierce battle with Xu Hechen and his evil cultivators.

Li Qing also rejoined the battle, and his Netherworld Purifying Flame displayed great power in the fight, constantly scorching the bodies of the evil cultivators.

Gu Changzhou struggled to his feet again, gripping the Taixu Sword tightly as he gazed at the battlefield.

Although I am not as strong as before, I cannot sit idly by and wait for my doom.

He was looking for an opportunity, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Hechen at a crucial moment.

At this moment, although Liu Sijun was protected by a powerful spiritual barrier, her consciousness was also in a state of extreme tension.

She could sense the battle outside and knew that her fusion had reached its most critical moment.

She focused her mind, striving to merge with the remnant soul of the Creator God in a final attempt to find a way to break the cycle of reincarnation.

The battle intensified, and both sides paid a heavy price.

Although Xu Hechen was powerful, Tong Lei, Gao Yongxiu, and the others were not to be underestimated. Relying on their years of combat experience and tacit understanding, they put up a tenacious resistance against Xu Hechen.

"This can't go on any longer; we must end the battle as soon as possible!"

Tong Lei thought to himself, then exchanged a glance with Gao Yongxiu.

The two launched their strongest attacks simultaneously, heading towards Xu Hechen.

Xu Hechen was startled when he saw the two attacking him, but he still did not back down.

He raised the Demon God's Heart, preparing to take the two attacks head-on.

Just as the attacks were about to collide, Gu Changzhou suddenly rushed out, brandishing the Taixu Sword and thrusting it towards Xu Hechen's back.

Xu Hechen felt the attack from behind and was terrified.

He tried to escape, but it was too late.

Tong Lei and Gao Yongxiu's attacks had already arrived, and he could only forcefully withstand these two moves.

With a loud "boom," Xu Hechen was blasted away by the powerful force and crashed to the ground.

His body was covered in wounds, and blood kept gushing from his mouth.

Xu Hechen was blasted away by the powerful force and crashed heavily to the ground, leaving a long trail in the sand.

His body was covered in wounds, and blood kept gushing from them, staining the surrounding sand dark red.

Blood kept gushing from his mouth, and he looked utterly wretched.

Gu Changzhou looked at Xu Hechen lying on the ground, but felt no joy whatsoever.

He knew Xu Hechen's strength and methods well. As the prized disciple of Feng Ze, the former palace master of Yougu Palace who was skilled in alchemy and forbidden arts, Xu Hechen was very likely to use some forbidden arts to escape.

"Is he...dead?"

Li Qing looked at Xu Hechen in disbelief. After the fierce battle just now, the anger and heartache in his heart had not completely dissipated, but seeing his former master in this state, a complicated emotion welled up in his heart.
