Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 428 - 249 Battle of the Two Kings - Part 1

The crimson killing intent solidified into substance, staining Yu Qingshuang’s azure robe.
The dense mist of killing intent dripped and flowed from her sleeves, dropping to the ground and piercing through to form tiny holes.
Lv Kuang rubbed his throbbing temples, "Senior Sister, just tell me, what should we do now?"
Zi Tao’s expression became slightly more solemn, yet a hint of playfulness was still visible.
"Mighty Divine Power, pray for descent, worldly affairs are but illusions, better a dream..."
Zi Tao extended a finger, breaking through the dense killing aura, then tapped it on Yu Qingshuang’s forehead, "Take a nap." fгeewebnovёl.com
Yu Qingshuang’s eyelids fluttered uncontrollably; after just three breaths, she fell to the ground, sinking into a deep sleep, still gripping the fiercely gleaming Heavenly Punishment.
Supporting the already slumbering Yu Qingshuang, Zi Tao sighed, "Oh dear, this is so tiring, I’ll leave the remaining to you, Junior Brother."
Lv Kuang sighed, "So be it, disciples of the Sword Travel Palace, ready your swords!"
Li Chonghuan was cleaved in half at the waist by a sword. Although his figure did not immediately dissipate, he was heavily injured, while Xu Yaofeng seized the moment and once again shattered the Avici Dragon-Slaying Formation, surrounding him.
This time, he immediately felt much relieved; with only the upper half of Li Chonghuan remaining, at least eighty percent of his strength had vanished.
Xu Yaofeng easily dealt with him. In just two hours, he completely obliterated this embodiment of Li Chonghuan.
"That Heavenly Punishment is truly ruthless!"
"Previously, when Taiyi devoured one embodiment of Li Chonghuan, it took several days to destroy it, and that was because Li Chonghuan gave it up voluntarily."
"This time, just one strike from Heavenly Punishment, and he couldn’t withstand it for even two hours."
Xu Yaofeng swung his last sword, dispersing Li Chonghuan’s lingering shadow, his gaze gradually locking onto the ancient dragon.
"Even though Li Chonghuan’s unexpected appearance did delay us for a while, fortunately the Sword Travel Palace resolved this sudden threat."
"The situation’s not too bad."
Xu Yaofeng observed for a moment and noticed that Hu Yao and the ancient dragon were fighting fiercely.
"It seems this ancient dragon still has energy left. Rushing to surround and kill it now won’t yield immediate results."
"Better to seize the advantage in manpower first, capture Beixuan Pass, leave the ancient dragon with nowhere to escape, then lay siege!"
Taking advantage of the crucial moment in Hu Yao’s fight with the ancient dragon, Xu Yaofeng leaped into the city gate. The narrow passage was empty, except for a river of blood flowing on the ground.
Bodies lay strewn, Xu Yaofeng glanced sideways at them, all had died with blood streaming from their seven orifices.
His gaze shifted forward, where beneath a dark blue Soul Lamp, the Biyou Dragon Girl stood holding the Dragon Fortune Zither, her eyes as cold as ice.
Raising her hand, the Biyou Dragon Girl sent blades of sound towards Xu Yaofeng with her music. Xu Yaofeng sliced through them with his blade, forming ice from water to shield himself.
The ice shattered, and Xu Yaofeng frowned slightly, "It won’t be easy, after all."
A fierce battle erupted at once.
Outside Beixuan Pass, the Nanli army and the Demon Clan started besieging dock after dock, slaughtering the cultivators guarding them.
In the sky, flying swords of the Sword Travel Palace disciples brilliantly clashed with those of the sword cultivators within the city.
Lv Kuang glanced at the myriad flying swords and roared, "In the world of Sword Dao, the Sword Travel Palace reigns supreme. To play with swordsmanship before our Sword Travel Palace, doesn’t that overestimate yourselves?"
"Sword Seizing Formation!"
"Seize their flying swords, suppress them!"
Hearing this, the disciples of the Sword Travel Palace swiftly employed the Sword Seizing Formation. As they floated amid flying swords, they began snatching flying swords one by one, suppressing them.
The city’s flying swords were gradually suppressed, yet new ones emerged. Clearly, the other side had a considerable reserve of sword Gu, with each cultivator possessing more than one sword Gu.
A prolonged tug-of-war ensued.
To Xu Yaofeng, the two days felt as lengthy as a month.
He passed through countless dangers, and his blade skills became increasingly proficient.
The sword techniques he hadn’t understood before suddenly made sense.
Unexpectedly, his blade skills had improved quite a bit.
Xu Yaofeng had no complaints about Chen Qing’s intelligence being inadequate, considering they still had Biyou Dragon Girl and Li Chonghuan as backup.
In their faction, Chen Qing’s prestige was so high that even if someone was ordered to die, that person might not refuse.
His orders were to slay the ancient dragon, seize Beixuan Pass, and annihilate the enemy forces here.
With the current troop strength, if he still failed, he wouldn’t deserve to continue as a commander.
The task was challenging, but it was only a matter of a longer duration.
The Biyou Dragon Girl’s fingers bled profusely, yet she still hadn’t laid down the Dragon Fortune Zither. She and the ancient dragon were the last hope of the Dragon Palace.
If they continued losing, then the dragon clan’s dignity in the world would be utterly destroyed.
What she couldn’t understand was, "Why are you fighting so desperately?"
"Dying for your so-called Master of Mortal World, struggling for a throne for someone unrelated to you... How does that benefit you?"
"If you are willing to submit to Da Yan, I assure you of a status similar to the ancient dragon!"
Xu Yaofeng laughed heartily, his sword shaking off the blood, "I act under the God’s decree to take your life!"
"I act under the God’s decree to send your dragon clan on the path!"
"My God has already begun to watch over me."
"It’s just a throne after all, who can’t attain it?"
"Destiny has long been arranged, I merely follow its guidance."
