Chapter 306.6: Going North and Returning South - Part 6

Their fists collided, and a terrifying shockwave instantly dispersed in all directions. The Onan River exploded at this moment, countless terrifying auras scattering everywhere. The river water surged towards the sky, forming two water curtains!

The Great Liang Emperor's fist struck the Demon Emperor's chest. This formidable martial artist's punch contained an immensely powerful force, but when it landed on the Demon Emperor, it only made him stagger for a moment, without taking a single step back.

The toughness of a demon's body was far greater than humans.

At the same time, the Demon Emperor's palm landed on the Great Liang Emperor's shoulder. If one looked closely, one could see how much terrifying aura filled the Demon Emperor's palm at this moment.

However, the body of the Great Liang Emperor only swayed for a moment without retreating.

Then, the river water in the sky continued to fall, and the two continued to exchange blows within the rain curtain. In a brief moment, they had already traded dozens of moves.

When the river water completely fell, both of them returned to the riverbank.

The river water that fell into the riverbed froze instantly, looking like a silver ribbon.

The two monarchs stood opposite each other once again.

The Great Liang Emperor suddenly coughed, and a trickle of blood flowed down from his lips.

The Demon Emperor had no expression, but blood also flowed down his arm and then dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling sound.

In this round of confrontation, both of them were injured.

The Great Liang Emperor said calmly, "How much longer can you hold on?"

This seemed like an ordinary question, but as he uttered these words, a crack suddenly appeared beneath the Demon Emperor's feet, spreading forward along the icy surface.

The same happened beneath the Great Liang Emperor's feet.

The two cracks met on the icy surface, and then the entire Onan River shattered.

At this point, it was revealed that the entire Onan River was not just frozen on the surface, the entire Onan River was composed of ice.

Of course, it had now turned into shattered ice.

The Demon Emperor spat out a turbid breath and looked into the eyes of the Great Liang Emperor, teeming with killing intent.

While the Great Liang Emperor appeared very indifferent.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the Demon Emperor suddenly said, "Perhaps soon, We will go take a look at the Divine Capital."

The Great Liang Emperor responded calmly, "If you appear outside the Divine Capital, you won't be able to return to the demon territory."

The Demon Emperor did not answer this question, instead, he retorted with a question, "Do you think We will see you again?"

The Great Liang Emperor replied calmly, "It's merely returning south, what's difficult about it?"

The Demon Emperor just smiled.

This marked the conclusion of the grand battle between the two monarchs, and the final result naturally ended in a draw.

The Demon Emperor had some strength left, and the Great Liang Emperor could still fight another round, but both of them were well aware that if the Demon Emperor fought the Great Liang Emperor with his life on the line, even if he managed to kill him in the end, he would be powerless to suppress the many existences coveting his throne in the demon territory. The situation he would face would be very dangerous.

As for the Great Liang Emperor, he also had the opportunity to kill the Demon Emperor, but the outcome would be the same. After killing the Demon Emperor, he would not need to head south anymore, there would be someone within that royal city who would ensure he remained here.

Being monarchs, they naturally understood the advantages and disadvantages of the situation, so they chose to stop in the end.

Therefore, the two of them turned around without prior consultation, one heading north, and the other returning south.

As the snowstorm gradually grew heavier, they both proceeded at a slow pace, gradually disappearing into the snow, their figures no longer visible.

Yu Xiyi slumped on the ground, the massive sword in front of him had already dissipated. The Sword Sect's great talisman possessed the supreme might of a great sword immortal's all-out attack, but it only had one attack. After severely injuring the great demon, it dissipated between heaven and earth.

Seizing the opportunity, Liu Banbi unleashed his sword, and sword light illuminated the sky. Just as he was about to risk his life to cut that great demon down, a gigantic hand suddenly appeared from the sky, grabbing and carrying the great demon away.

Liu Banbi's hard-won strike fell into emptiness, prompting him to curse and lament. Following this, he let loose a torrent of abuse, "Dumb kid, why aren't you running? There's no chance left!"

Yu Xiyi looked up and saw two distant figures in the sky.

Those were two great demons. They returned here at this moment to thoroughly eliminate Liu Banbi.

Behind them lay a sea of blood.

Liu Banbi was incredibly silent at this moment, and Yu Xiyi, the talkative sword cultivator, was currently looking at the man in front of him in awe, feeling that his figure was incredibly big and tall.

They continued southward.

Soon, they encountered another demon army waiting in full battle-array.

They were densely packed, like a large stretch of dark clouds.

Liu Banbi could not help muttering, "Will this ever fucking end?"

The Great Liang Emperor did not speak. he just walked forward steadily without any other expression.

......

......

After some time.

Thirty thousand miles of desolate north, there was probably less than ten thousand miles left now.

Behind the trio, there was now one sea of blood after another.

Liu Banbi became increasingly frightened in his heart. On the way south, he was already prostrating on all fours in admiration of the Great Liang Emperor. Such a terrifying martial artist was probably better at killing people than the most lethal sword cultivator in the world.

Yu Xiyi, on the other hand, had already become numb.

The formidable strength displayed by the Great Liang Emperor left him in a state of shock.

Then, the trio stopped. There was another demon army waiting in full battle-array in front of them. On the horizon, several dark clouds loomed, awaiting their arrival.

This was the besiegement of the demon race, over and over again.

All they wanted was to keep this human monarch here.

Although Liu Banbi had witnessed how terrifying the Great Liang Emperor was, he still could not help worrying. After all, this Great Liang Emperor had fought against the Demon Emperor and was now having his strength depleted in this manner. Even if he could still kill, how long could he last?

Watching the tattered imperial robe of the Great Liang Emperor, Liu Banbi fell into silence.

However, at that moment, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded out between heaven and earth.

In the southern heavy snowstorm, a cavalry army finally arrived.

Seeing the fluttering Liang character flag in the snow, Yu Xiyi exclaimed with joy, "It's the Great Liang's frontier army!"

That cavalry army was marked by wounds and exhaustion, finally rushing over here. The general leading them was precisely Li Changling.

Pulling the reins not far away, the cavalry army behind him came to a halt. At this moment, only the neighing of warhorses resonated between heaven and earth.

"This general, Li Changling, has led the Northern Frontier Army into the desolate north, to fight side-by-side with Your Majesty!"

He did not say to protect, but to fight side-by-side!

Yes, they did not come to escort the monarch, they came to fight alongside this monarch!

Hence, the human and demon army confronted each other here.

The wind and snow whimpered, and the aura of killing pervaded the air.

The Great Liang Emperor did not speak. His eyes suddenly showed some emotions. Turns out, there was a wildflower growing in this land of ice and snow.

The wildflower was entirely tinged with purple, and there were traces of snow on its petals, making it look exceptionally dignified.

He felt rather happy, walking briskly over, bent down, and reached out to pick it.

But when he stood up and looked at the flower in his hand, all that remained in his eyes was some sorrow.

The hair at his temples at this moment was whiter than the snow.
