Chapter 2419 - 2424: Exhausting Everything

Chapter 2419: Chapter 2424: Exhausting Everything

King Lan’s attitude had completely changed; compared to before, he was like a different person.

Today, the reason he had Xia Liu come here was merely to persuade him about a few things.

He hadn’t expected such a drastic turn of events.

Facing a Demon Lord of ninth rank.

Xia Liu was fearless, unafraid: "You’re set on killing me? Just because I know your Energy Body is injured?"

"Yes! In this world, I do not permit anyone to know my secret!"

King Lan said so.

"Hahaha!"

Xia Liu laughed.

If it was just for this, then King Lan could go to hell!

"Out of respect that you are the King Lan of the Demon God Kingdom, that you are the Lord of the Western Region, and that you are Lan Lianxue’s father, I’ll give you some face!"

"Hahaha! You give me face? That’s truly ridiculous!"

King Lan almost laughed himself to death.

Xia Liu really had some nerve.

Merely a Demon Lord of first rank.

Yet he dared to say this to him.

He really didn’t put his own life in his eyes at all.

"Thirty thousand li north of Azure Blue City, there are two rare Heavenly Peaks. Ordinary Cultivators cannot reach the Peak. Today I’ll let you die with a clear name!"

With that said, Xia Liu’s figure gradually faded away.

A short while later, at the Twin Dragons Peak of the Western Region in the Demon God Kingdom.

Two pairs of eyes that looked down on the world met.

"You’ve got guts. And you’ve got ideas."

Luring him to a place like this, King Lan roughly understood Xia Liu’s intention.

"You and I battle here, no one will discover it, nor will we destroy any buildings."

Hearing King Lan’s sigh, Xia Liu didn’t speak.

Because he hadn’t turned around.

The killing intent wandering through the space still seeped into the marrow.

"But have you considered whether you can withstand my full-strength strike?"

Xia Liu’s unpretentious manner stirred King Lan’s disdain.

Merely a Demon Lord of first rank, what right did he have to choose his place of death!

Unfortunately, Xia Liu’s speed had reached the momentum of Instantaneous Movement over thousands of li.

In that brief instant, King Lan simply couldn’t catch up to him.

Otherwise Xia Liu would’ve died back in Azure Blue Palace.

"In this world, there’s no shortage of people who want my life, even those at the Near-God Realm!"

"Childish nonsense! Today I’ll show you what true terror is!"

Originally, King Lan’s impression of Xia Liu hadn’t been bad.

If he hadn’t discovered his own secret.

As long as he followed his orders.

Given time, he would definitely become the Lord of the Western Region!

Too bad, now he had to die!

"Come!"

Xia Liu stayed calm.

A Demon Lord of ninth rank.

He wanted a fight too!

This could let him gauge his own limit!

"Die for me!"

King Lan’s Demon Might shook; the mountain Peak beneath his feet split in two, unable to bear his power.

Boom!

The instant his palm shot out, space shattered; the unparalleled force was like nothing before.

Xia Liu’s Demon Consciousness surged, and the Taiqing Sword appeared again.

"Selfless Slash!"

At the moment his Energy Body rose to its utmost.

The selfless Sword Intent also climbed to the Peak.

Xia Liu swung his sword, and a sword of calamity-like Sword Qi roared out.

In imposing might, it was not weaker than King Lan!

The sword had form, the palm had no technique; the result was decided the instant they met.

The power of the two great contemporary experts clashed skyward, turning into brilliant motes of light scattered between heaven and earth.

"Demon Lord of fifth rank!"

Only now did King Lan realize that Xia Liu not only could completely conceal his own Energy.

Even his Energy Body could be controlled at will.

Though he could also guess.

Demon Lord of fifth rank was his limit.

"If it’s only Demon Lord of fifth rank, then you can die with regret!"

"I hope your strength is truly as tough as you imagine it to be."

Xia Liu said steadily.

"Ridiculous!"

When King Lan grew serious, his strength rose to the Peak.

The Demon Lord of ninth rank was unleashed in full.

In an instant, the space before him congealed with frost; within several thousand li, everything plunged into extreme cold.

Demon Essence imbued with Frost Cold Power!

A Demon Lord of ninth rank was already flawless, and now he possessed such a special Demon Essence.

Xia Liu showed an unprecedentedly serious expression.

Even when fighting Manjushri, he hadn’t been this solemn.

"Qianlan Silk!"

With a furious shout, King Lan brought his hands together; a tangible, soulful blue thread shot from his heart.

Penetrating his clasped palms, it shot toward Xia Liu!

"Thousand Threads and Myriad Strands!"

Facing this heavenly threat, Xia Liu unleashed the Taiqing Sword Peerless Technique.

The result was utterly useless!

Qianlan Silk was like an artifact of the Ancient Gods; the thread vibrated, directly dissolving the Thousand Threads and Myriad Strands.

Then, at extreme speed, it swept toward Xia Liu.

The Demon Might and special Frost Cold Power contained within the thread.

Made Xia Liu not dare to underestimate it.

His movement technique stirred, dodging at top speed.

The sound of ripping through the air echoed.

Because his speed was too fast, the forceful wind shredded the clothes on his body.

Yet no matter how Xia Liu leapt about, Qianlan Silk could always catch up to him at the first moment.

Ready at any time to seal soul and lock spirit, killing with one strike!

Xia Liu had considered getting close to King Lan’s body.

But facing a Demon Lord of ninth rank, he didn’t dare advance rashly.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Since that’s the case, I can only go all out!"

As he dodged, Xia Liu pinched a Seal Gesture; the Daoist Infant sealed within the top of his skull broke its Restriction.

Then the two Nascent Souls formed Seal Gestures; soon after, the Dual Nascent Souls fused into one.

Boom boom!!

A muffled rumbling came from within Xia Liu’s body.

It was a breakthrough in power, and an elevation in Realm!

At this moment, his Demon Might reached Demon Lord of eighth rank!

Forced up two whole Ranks!

"Divine Demon Forbid!"

Before King Lan could voice his shock, Xia Liu unfolded the Eternal Divine Power passed down by Demon Emperor Hentian.

With the force of Divine Demon Forbid, once it touched Qianlan Silk, the thread immediately collapsed!

"Damn it! How can your strength have risen this much!"

Feeling the unparalleled Demon Might contained within Xia Liu’s Divine Skills.

Plus his current foundation.

King Lan was shaken.

Could this be his true strength?

If so, then before crises from other Domains arrived, he himself would suffer injury upon injury.

The consequences of all this would cause the Western Region to collapse! The people to live in misery!

"I’ve said it: the ones who want to kill me in this world number in the thousands upon tens of thousands. You’re just one of them, and your end will be the same as theirs—death!"

Forgetting King Lan’s identity.

Even if he would bear Lan Lianxue’s future hatred, Xia Liu would show no mercy!

Feeling this unprecedented surging power.

Xia Liu’s whole body was brimming with confidence.

At this moment, the injured King Lan was absolutely not his match!

"Divine Frost Seal the World!"

Without further words, King Lan condensed the strongest Divine Skills of his life!

He could not die here!

There were still far too many matters that needed him to handle.

As the Frost Cold Demon Essence blasted out.

Heaven and earth became its source, wind and frost spread for thousands of li!

Even Xia Liu.

Was likewise buried beneath the power of ice and snow.

At the moment his body turned into an ice-and-snow sculpture, Xia Liu felt his body temperature draining rapidly.

His power and vitality were also slowly being consumed!

Though it was slow, Xia Liu didn’t dare imagine it continuing.

If, by a certain time, he still hadn’t broken free of the Ice Sealing.

Not long after, all his Cultivator vitality would likely be drained!

"Close your eyes."

Seeing Xia Liu turned into an ice sculpture, King Lan finally let down his hanging heart.

But the next second, he suddenly saw a red light point appear within that ice sculpture!!!
