Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

Three days later, at the border of Xiang Kingdom, a large group of people gathered here, a total of about ten people, all of whom were Purple Mansion cultivators, including Zhou Yan and Holy Mother Lingxi, as well as Ling Shu.

"This battle must be won quickly and decisively; it cannot be delayed."

The Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros looked at everyone and said with a serious expression.

"You don't need to tell me." Ling Shu said coldly. After saying that, he turned around and transformed into a white-feathered vulture with a wingspan of twenty feet, and flew directly towards the territory of Xiang Kingdom.

Seeing this, the Holy Mother of Spiritual Rhinoceros frowned but did not speak to stop him. She looked at Zhou Yan and said...

"Fellow Daoist, the direction ahead of Ling Shu is Shicheng. Follow it, but be careful."

"Understood." Zhou Yan nodded, then turned around and followed Batu.

Within the territory of Xiang Kingdom, all was deathly silent. The earth was pitch black, with only scattered demon soldiers constantly moving about.

Before long, Zhou Yan and Batu caught up with Ling Shu's figure.

Outside the city, Ling Shu stopped, looking down with eyes full of hatred, and then let out a screech.

"Jiang Chi, you come out here!"

The screams, mixed with the sound of the wind, transformed into thousands of sharp blades, falling towards the castle below.

"Buzz~"

On the city wall, array patterns lit up, forming a barrier that blocked the wind blades.

Immediately afterwards, a flying sword wreathed in black flames flew out from the city and pierced straight towards Ling Shu.

He was not afraid at all. He flapped his wings, emitting a cold aura. Then, countless gray and white feathers flew out like sharp swords.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

The flying sword flashed several times, shattering large swaths of feathers, but the remaining feathers were still too numerous, their residual power hindering the flying sword's advance.

After a few breaths of stalemate, the flying sword drew an arc and fell towards the castle, landing in the hand of a handsome man who was eight feet tall and dressed in a crimson sword robe.

"You bastard, you taught me a lesson last time and I ran away, but you still dare to come back to die."

Jiang Chi looked at the Spirit Pivot in the sky, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.

Having said that, the flying sword in his hand transformed into three, all igniting with black flames to form three fiery sword arcs.

"I want you dead!"

Faced with the attack, Ling Shu showed no fear whatsoever. With a gentle flap of his wings, a gray light wave appeared around him in an instant.

"Tide of the Dead"

The light waves spread out, and everything around them instantly became as if it had been covered by a filter, turning completely gray.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, the dead rose from the ground, roaring as they slowly ran towards the castle.

At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of them, including many souls of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Immediately afterwards, two spirits of the dead slowly emerged. One had a full beard and a fierce expression, holding a long halberd. The other was a bull demon with bulging muscles all over its body.

The two were summoned, and as a ripple swept across them, a divine aura slowly appeared in their eyes.

"Attack together." Ling Shu said to the two, his body covered in a layer of gray light, and he began to fight a flying sword.

The other two, after slightly shifting their bodies, also faced the other two flying swords with fierce expressions.

Above the clouds, watching the battle below, Zhou Yan's eyes flickered.

This Spiritual Pivot Divine Power Seed is truly remarkable; it directly pulled out the souls of two mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators.

It then revealed its true form, transforming into a dragon, and began to fly above the clouds.

Below, the battle situation also began to come alive.

Inside the city, demon generals and soldiers activated the formation, killing countless souls. But then, a large number of souls crawled out from the ground, endlessly, like a tide, impossible to kill.

Jiang Chi, on the other hand, controlled three flying swords by himself and dealt with Ling Shu and the other two with ease.

The three flying swords continuously emitted scorching black flames, launching repeated attacks on the three.

The three spirits could only continuously use their magical power to resist.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling Shu's face was also extremely ugly, and he immediately changed direction.

"Jiang Chi, you just wait and see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body transformed into a streak of light and flew away into the distance. Meanwhile, the other two undead souls exerted their strength and blocked Jiang Chi's path.

"Since you're here, don't leave."

Seeing Ling Shu's actions, Jiang Chi's eyes revealed a hint of disdain. He made a sword gesture, and the flames on the two flying swords subsided, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Demon Flame Slayer".

As Jiang Chi silently chanted, the two flying swords instantly transformed into two streaks of black light. Before the departed soul could react, it was pierced through its forehead and then vanished into the world.

He immediately retrieved his flying sword, transformed into a sword shadow, and chased after Ling Shu.

Above the clouds, watching Jiang Chi disappear into the distance, Zhou Yan's eyes flickered.

Below, the battle continued, and unbeknownst to many, a thick cloud slowly formed.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock~"

Raindrops fell slowly, but were blocked by the barrier above the castle.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chi, who was still chasing Ling Shu, noticed the commotion behind him and frowned.

"What, it's not working already?"

Seeing Jiang Chi stop, Ling Shu immediately mocked him. Gray ripples reappeared, and the surrounding space twisted inch by inch. Countless dead souls and vengeful ghosts crawled towards Jiang Chi.

"A trivial skill."

Jiang Chi's expression remained unchanged. He directly summoned his flying sword, its light carrying terrifying sword intent, tearing apart the souls of the dead.

He himself went straight for Ling Shu and charged towards him.

Knowing his power, Ling Shu did not confront him directly. Relying on her speed advantage, she constantly shifted and dodged his attacks, while simultaneously flying backward to create distance between herself and Jiang Chi.

How did this scruffy bird become so strong?

Unable to capture Ling Shu for a long time, Jiang Chi couldn't help but get a little impatient. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he quickly looked behind him.

A torrential downpour poured down over the castle, but the barrier kept it all out.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan immediately took out the jade bottle that Zi Huan had given him, opened it, and took out one-third of it.

Then he waved his hand, and this part of Ruoshui fell into the dark clouds like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

Immediately, raindrops carrying the power of water fell, striking the barrier above the castle and piercing it, then falling onto the buildings.

"What's going on?"

Inside the city, the demon generals, upon seeing this, paled and cried out in alarm.

Words cannot stop the rain from falling.

In the blink of an eye, the entire city was shrouded in raindrops.

In the center of the castle stands a torch three zhang tall.

Inside the torch, a blood-red flame burned continuously, emitting waves of malevolent energy.

Around it were scattered fist-sized blood-red beads.
