My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Nangong Zhan rushed to Anzhou City without stopping and handed Li Xuancang's handwritten letter to Du Tianfeng.

After reading Li Xuancang's handwritten letter, Du Tianfeng's face darkened, and his eyes were filled with shock.

"What?"

Demons have appeared on the border of Liuyun County, so terrifying that even the people of Bi'an Division have requested help. This is a catastrophic disaster for Anzhou.

"My elder brother is still locked in a standoff with Yunzhou and cannot leave. There is no one in the entire Anzhou who can deal with the demons."

Du Tianfeng calmly analyzed the current situation, his expression growing increasingly grim.

To deal with such a terrifying demon, one would need at least a Transcendent Realm expert.

In the entire Anzhou, only Du Tianhao has the strength to face the demons directly, but he is currently in a standoff with Yunzhou and cannot extricate himself.

"Liuyun County is too dangerous. Send Xuancang back immediately."

Du Tianfeng had no choice but to give up Liuyun County.

Li Xuancang was his confidant and the backbone of the Anzhou army; he could not be sacrificed in vain.

Nangong Zhan and the others quickly returned to Liuyun County, carrying Du Tianfeng's orders.

When Nangong Zhan and the others returned to Liuyun County, more than ten days had passed.

"Lord Du ordered me to withdraw my troops and abandon Liuyun County."

Li Xuancang was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether or not to withdraw his troops.

On one hand, there was Du Tianfeng's military order, and reason told him to leave immediately to save himself.

But another voice inside him told him that he couldn't just leave like this.

After struggling for a moment, Li Xuancang's eyes hardened, and he made a decision.

He quickly wrote a personal letter and handed it to Yang Tiangang.

"Go to Anzhou City immediately and deliver this letter to Lord Du."

After Yang Tiangang left, Li Xuancang led a few personal guards away from Liuyun County and headed towards the abyss.

As Li Xuancang approached the Demon Abyss, the sounds of fierce fighting echoed from the depths.

"call out!"

Li Xuancang darted out and rushed into the abyss.

"Hahaha, kill all those hypocritical dogs from the Bi'an Division."

"We are sworn enemies of the Bi'an Division, and we will exterminate them all."

"Today is your death day."

"..."

Huang Huayuan and his two companions were being besieged by dozens of evil cultivators, including two mid-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, five early-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, and the rest were all Blood Condensation Realm cultivators.

The three fought against many, suffering numerous wounds and panting heavily, facing perilous situations.

The Bi'an Division takes it upon itself to slay demons and eliminate evil, and the two sides are sworn enemies. Now that they have encountered Huang Huayuan and his two companions, how can they let go of this god-given opportunity?

"Senior brother, we can't hold them off anymore."

Zhang Tianxuan was covered in blood, his breathing was erratic, and he was almost at his wit's end.

"We must stop them even if we can't, and we absolutely cannot let them enter the Abyss of Demons."

Huang Huayuan's eyes were resolute, and he was well aware of his situation.

These evil cultivators came to help the demons in the Demon Abyss escape; if they were allowed to enter the Demon Abyss, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Go to hell!"

As the two were talking, a flaw was revealed, and a burly man swung his heavy black iron sword and slashed fiercely at Huang Huayuan.

"careful."

The two were exhausted and were immediately in danger when the strong man launched a sneak attack.

"Bang!"

In the critical moment, Zhang Tianxuan struck Huang Huayuan with a palm, sending him flying away from the range of the heavy sword's strike.

"Junior brother."

Huang Huayuan's expression changed drastically. He quickly steadied himself and rushed back to save Zhang Tianxuan.

After sending Huang Huayuan away from danger with a single palm strike, Zhang Tianxuan hastily mobilized all his power in an attempt to block the descending sword that would take his life.

"puff!"

The heavy iron sword slashed down, shattering Zhang Tianxuan's protective aura, and the sword landed on his shoulder.

"what!"

Sword energy and evil energy surged into Zhang Tianxuan's body through the wound, frantically damaging his internal organs and meridians.

Zhang Tianxuan screamed in agony, his face as pale as paper, his eyes unfocused, and he was powerless to fight back.

"Die!"

The burly man sheathed his heavy sword, gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, raised it high above his head, and brought it down heavily on Zhang Tianxuan's head.

"Junior brother."

Huang Huayuan and Liu Qingyao roared fiercely, desperately trying to save Zhang Tianxuan.

"You should worry about yourselves first!"

The evil cultivators would not allow them to provide support, so they launched an even fiercer offensive, holding the two of them back tightly.

"Get out of here."

Zhang Tianxuan was in imminent danger, and Huang Huayuan and the other man were extremely anxious. They were eager to break free from the evil cultivator's control, but instead, they revealed a weakness, which the evil cultivator seized upon, causing them to suffer even more injuries.

"Am I going to die?"

Despite the aura of death surrounding him, Zhang Tianxuan felt no fear.

From the moment he joined the Bi'an Division, he knew his mission and that he would die at the hands of demons.

When that day finally came, he felt no fear, no dread, only a calm acceptance of death, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Bang!"

The heavy sword struck, but the excruciating pain Zhang Tianxuan had imagined did not come.

He opened his eyes, and a towering figure stood in front of him, blocking the fatal sword strike.

"Master Li."

Upon seeing Li Xuancang's tall and imposing figure, Zhang Tianxuan was extremely surprised, and then his face lit up with joy.

He knew Li Xuancang's strength. With Li Xuancang's arrival, not only was he saved, but his senior brothers and sisters were also saved.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, are you alright?"

Li Xuancang knocked the enemy back with a punch, then turned around and helped Zhang Tianxuan up.

"Thank you, Lord Li, I'm not going to die yet."

The burly man retreated over a hundred meters, each step leaving a deep footprint in the ground.

After regaining his balance, the burly man looked at Li Xuancang with hatred in his eyes, which made him even angrier.

"It's you?!"

The burly man was one of the three evil cultivators who besieged Li Xuancang in Huifeng County, and he was almost killed by Li Xuancang.

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.

The burly man's murderous intent surged; he wanted to kill Li Xuancang and avenge his previous humiliation.

"You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, while choosing the path to hell. What a small world! Today we will avenge you and ensure you never return."

Two figures rushed out and came to the strong man's side; they were none other than the old man from the Black Plains and the deadly scholar.

After some time apart, all three had broken through to the Qi Refining Realm and were full of confidence in themselves, determined to kill Li Xuancang and avenge their grievances.

"He's just a captain, yet he's qualified for us to kill him."

Other evil cultivators also surrounded Li Xuancang, recognizing him as a captain by the armor he wore.

The killing of a captain was a significant loss for the Anzhou army.

The evil cultivators grinned maliciously. Today was a great day. They had not only killed three people from the Bixi Division, but also dealt with a captain in the process.

Facing dozens of evil cultivators, Li Xuancang remained unfazed; these people posed no threat to him.

"Lord Li, be careful."

Huang Huayuan and the other two quickly came to Li Xuancang's side, ready to fight alongside him.

Although Li Xuancang was powerful, he couldn't fight against so many opponents alone, and they wouldn't let him fight alone.

Even Zhang Tianxuan, who was the most seriously injured, took a pill and mustered his last bit of strength to share the burden with Li Xuancang.
