Covering the Sky: I, a mortal, ascended to the throne step by step.

Chapter 91 Hell's Order: Melee in the Mining Area

The holy city remained bustling even late at night.

The sounds of drinking games drifted from the tavern, while the source stone shop was brightly lit, with two or three cultivators walking together.

Li Xian stepped out of Tianxuan Stone Archway and walked down the long street.

With steady steps, he continuously deduced the Dao patterns of the "Tianxuan Steps" in his mind.

He paused slightly as he passed the Wang Family Stone Archway.

Within the towering courtyard walls, a sense of desolation subtly permeates the air.

Ancient Emperor's Soul —

Li Xian was momentarily lost in thought.

In that split second, a chilling killing intent locked onto him.

There was no sound of air being cut.

There was no fluctuation of divine power.

A pale white sword light suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, it pierced straight at Li Xian's brow.

too fast.

The person who drew the sword was hidden in the void.

The timing was perfect, just as Li Xian's mind relaxed slightly.

This is no ordinary cultivator, but a professional assassin who has undergone countless life-or-death training sessions.

Life or death hangs in the balance.

Li Xian remained calm, his Origin Heaven Divine Eye capturing the trajectory of the sword light.

The incomplete character "斗" (dou) operates secretly.

He forcibly activated the Tianxuan Footwork, which he had just begun to learn.

A flash of Dao patterns appeared beneath his feet.

Li Xian's body shifted half an inch to the side in a way that defied common sense.

"Sizzle!"

The sword's edge grazed his forehead.

A string of blood droplets rose up, and a few strands of black hair fell.

It was one inch off.

If it weren't for that immature footwork, this sword strike would have hit right between the eyebrows, instantly killing the primordial spirit.

The assassin missed his target, his body vanishing like smoke into the void without hesitation.

"Since we're already here, what's the rush?"

Li Xian's voice was cold.

His eyes shone with a brilliant purple-gold light.

Two beams of silvery-white divine light shot out like dragons.

The Demon Emperor's Nine Slashes start with a divine injury.

It specifically targets and destroys the primordial spirit.

The silvery light ignored space and directly pierced into the assassin's brow and sea of ​​consciousness.

"ah"

A mournful scream echoed from the void.

A monk dressed in black fell, clutching his head tightly with both hands, his body convulsing.

He possessed the cultivation of the first level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, but under the Demon Emperor's Nine Slashes, his sea of ​​consciousness collapsed, and within two or three breaths, his body and soul were annihilated.

Li Xian walked to the body and bent down to search it.

A longsword with a black sheath, of excellent quality.

A silver token, with a blood-dripping divine sword engraved on the front and two ancient seal characters on the back—"Hell".

Killer Dynasty.

Li Xian gripped the token tightly.

My thumb rubbed against those two words.

Hell and the human world are known as the two of the three great assassin dynasties, taking orders to kill and having clear prices.

The most terrifying thing is that each of the two sides has a powerful assassin in charge.

Someone paid a high price to save his life.

Yao Guang?

Or someone else?

Li Xian threw away the token and the longsword.

He wiped the blood from his forehead and continued walking forward.

Being targeted by two major assassin dynasties would make any ordinary person restless and unable to eat or sleep.

Li Xian merely snorted coldly, showing no fear.

He told the maid to continue on their way, as the enlightenment tea from An Miaoyi's side couldn't be wasted; any resource that could enhance one's comprehension shouldn't be wasted even for a moment.

However, Li Xian had only taken less than ten steps.

The stone slabs beneath his feet lit up with dazzling array patterns, and spatial Dao patterns intertwined to form a net that enveloped him.

"A teleportation array?"

Li Xian's eyes narrowed.

Activate the protective furnace of the Fire God.

This was clearly a high-level void teleportation array.

Someone predicted that he would take this route after the assassination attempt and took advantage of the chaos to lure him into a trap.

next second.

The light shone brightly.

Li Xian's figure disappeared from the spot.

A few breaths later, ripples appeared in the void.

Old Cen, hunched over, appeared leaning on a cane.

He looked at the remaining array patterns on the ground, shook his head, and smiled bitterly: "That brat really knows how to cause trouble. This old man has to suffer on his first day of protecting the Dao. What a loss."

That being said.

He raised his hand and made a gesture.

The void was torn open.

As the laws of a semi-saint overflowed, Elder Cen followed the lingering aura of Li Xian and stepped into the boundless darkness.

The crack closed.

Silently.

"ah?

'

The little maid blinked her big eyes, looking slightly adorable.

Absolutely quiet.

There is no passage of time.

No light or shadow appeared.

In the pitch-black void, everything seemed exceptionally silent.

Like a fleeting moment, yet also like ten lifetimes, the extraordinary journey has come to an end.

"Bang."

Li Xian landed on both feet.

The surrounding void passages then collapsed.

He looked around and saw that the land was desolate and red.

The ground was covered with sand and stones, devoid of any life, and utterly lifeless.

-

"Where did I come from?" Li Xian frowned slightly. "Is this still the Northern Region?"

"kill!"

A furious roar erupted, shaking the heavens.

Li Xian looked up.

Smoke and dust billowed on the distant horizon.

Seventy or eighty knights rode on ferocious beasts and galloped towards them.

Its scales were gleaming, and its roars could be heard for miles around, filling the wilderness with murderous intent that soared into the sky.

This was a group of extremely powerful knights, their bodies shrouded in a bloody aura.

It gathered unimaginable killing intent, and even had a tangible blood-red aura surrounding it.

"Who dares to trespass on my Yao Guang territory!"

In the distance, amidst the buildings of the mining area.

Dozens of Yao Guang cultivators rushed into the sky, blocking the knight's path.

Leading the group were three elderly men, all with white hair and beards, and eyes as sharp as lightning. They were all at the peak of the Four Extremes realm or even at the half-step Dragon Transformation realm.

"I, Jiang Yi, have arrived! Who dares to stop me?!"

The knight is right in the center.

A middle-aged man riding a lion-like beast shouted.

His iron armor gleamed coldly, his face handsome, yet exuding arrogance and sinister intent.

Fifteen blood-red banners were planted behind him as he charged forward alone on horseback.

"The Ninth Great Bandit, Jiang Yi?!"

Some people were horrified. The three old men's expressions changed, and they all summoned their natal magic weapons to block.

"die!"

Jiang Yi drank loudly.

Three blood-red flags were thrown out.

The banner swells in the wind, growing to a height of a hundred feet.

It was as if three blood-red divine mountains crashed down, shattering the defensive Dao patterns on the earth.

Immediately afterwards, he swept the flag across the ground.

"Pfft pfft pfft—"

""

More than a dozen Yao Guang cultivators turned into blood mist before they could even scream.

"clang!"

The vajra was struck by the banner, severing its owner and two others at the waist.

However, upon meeting...

The Yaoguang defense line collapsed completely.

Li Xian, hidden behind a rock, watched this scene with a slight twitch in his eyes.

"You audacious madman!"

A powerful aura rose from the mining area.

Two Supreme Elders of Yaoguang, clad in radiant Taoist robes, arrived through the air.

One person held a purple-gold gourd, and the other held an ancient bronze bell; both were at the Sendai realm.

"Jiang Yi! You are a direct descendant of the ancient Jiang family, a descendant of the mighty Emperor Hengyu, why have you fallen so low as to become a bandit in the Northern Region?"

An elder questioned.

Jiang Yi sat upright on the Suanni beast and sneered, "Don't try to intimidate me with the Jiang family name. Ever since my elder brother Jiang Zhe was forced away by them and died far from home, I, Jiang Yi, have had no connection with the Jiang family. I'm here today only to seek wealth."

Behind the boulder, Li Xian's eyes gleamed.

Jiang Yi and Jiang Zhe are both descendants of the Jiang family's divine king lineage.

Due to internal power struggles.

After Jiang Taixu disappeared, this meridian gradually weakened.

Ultimately, this forced the genius Jiang Zhe to leave, and Jiang Yi, in a fit of rage, became an outlaw.

In mid-air, Jiang Yi stopped talking nonsense.

He waved his hand, and fourteen blood-red banners appeared simultaneously, unfurling like fans behind him.

Yagami's brute force is unleashed!

Golden brute force poured into the flagpole.

Fourteen hundred-foot-tall banners displayed their ferocity, causing the void to collapse and the earth to crack.

The two Supreme Elders activated their magical treasures to battle, causing the Purple Gold Gourd to hum and the Bronze Bell to vibrate.

Li Xian noticed Jiang Yi during a lull in the battle.

He casually tossed out a large banner, which emitted a soft, blood-red light, transforming into a protective shield that shielded thousands of mortal miners from being affected.

Kill cultivators to protect mortals.

The way the great bandits of the Northern Region conducted themselves and conducted themselves in the world.

"Men, go and fetch the source!" Jiang Yi shouted.

Seventy or eighty knights charged toward the mine's treasure vault like wolves and tigers.

"How dare you!"

Two more Supreme Elders of Yaoguang rushed over, activating their secret techniques, and joined forces to attack Jiang Yi.

"What is there to be afraid of!"

Jiang Yi roared and unleashed the Eight Gods' Savage Force in succession.

His entire body erupted with dazzling golden light, and his divine power took on a terrifying, savage, and demonic quality, making him incomparably domineering.

Under Jiang Yi's control, the fourteen hundred-foot-long banners were strangled like fourteen blood dragons.

"Boom!"

The void collapsed on a large scale.

The extremely fierce and powerful Yagami strength combined with the blood-red banner.

Jiang Yi fought against four opponents single-handedly, displaying great power and suppressing Elder Yao Guang.

The four elders' expressions changed drastically as they struggled to hold on.

The knights then went on a rampage, looting Originium.

Suddenly, behind the mining area.

A teleportation array light up.

Another wave of Yaoguang reinforcements arrived.

The leader, dressed in a gray robe, had a sinister face and was at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

It was Li Yuan, the manager of the Yaoguang Mining Area who had a grudge against Li Xian, from the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Li Yuangang stepped off the battle platform.

Upon seeing the devastated mining area and the bandit cavalry, they were terrified.

But out of the corner of his eye, his gaze lingered on a certain boulder.

Eyes facing each other.

Li Yuan was taken aback.

He then burst into laughter.

The laughter was laced with endless murderous intent.

"Good, very good."

Li Yuan stared intently at Li Xian, his voice venomous: "I spent a fortune to hire a master of array formations who is proficient in teleportation, and used the Ji family's secret treasure to move you, you little beast, from the Holy City to my Yao Guang No. 15 mining area. I originally intended to trap you and secretly destroy you."

11

"I never expected you'd attract such a powerful bandit from the Northern Regions!"

Li Yuan attacked Jiang Yi, mistaking it for Li Xian's backup plan.

"Today, I will not only tear you apart, but I will also use your blood to pay tribute to my fallen disciples of Yao Guang!"

Li Yuan strode out.

The dragon's imposing aura was like Mount Tai pressing down on you.

Behind the boulder.

Li Xian stood up straight.

Looking at the murderous Li Yuan.

He dusted off his clothes and said calmly, "So that's how it is. You pay to kill someone and steal their treasure."

"Too bad, you've miscalculated!"

Li Xian flipped his wrist.

A dark gold spike appears in the palm of the hand.

The Great Xia Dynasty's forbidden weapon, the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Cone.

"You old scoundrel Li Yuan." Li Xian's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the other person's ears, "Guess who died today?"
