Chapter 1805 Young Leader
The demise of the Kui Gang Dao Master was so swift that even the Tian Yang Dao Master was somewhat shocked.

Although the cultivation level of the Kui Gang Dao Lord was not particularly strong, he was an ancient Dao Lord from another realm and possessed the body of an ancient god. Although he was only a demigod, he was still exceptionally powerful due to his innate advantages.

The fact that he was killed so easily, without any chance to fight back, greatly surprised the Heavenly Sun Dao Master.

His expression darkened slightly, and he mobilized the power of the vast universe behind him to fiercely attack Li Yanchu.

He had previously noticed that Li Yanchu's aura dropped after he drew his sword. Although Li Yanchu had modified some of the issues with this supernatural power so that his strength would not vary drastically after each strike, this brief decline was still unavoidable.

With his extensive combat experience, the Heavenly Sun Dao Master spotted this flaw at a glance.

Although he was somewhat surprised by the death of the Kui Gang Dao Master, he suddenly attacked in a flash, killing him with a full-force strike.

His terrifying Dao power instantly invaded Li Yanchu's Dao field.

Li Yanchu groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master's eyes lit up.
Sure enough!

But the next moment, Li Yanchu swung his sword, and the sword light not only did not weaken but increased, suddenly surging, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the sky. As space was shattered, an arm fell down.

The right hand of the Heavenly Sun Dao Master was severed, and blood flowed profusely, with Dao blood splattering out, which looked quite astonishing.

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master was greatly alarmed and immediately fled backward.

Li Yanchu sighed, "I deliberately revealed this small flaw a long time ago, but only you noticed it. Your insight and knowledge are indeed superior to others, which is admirable."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Sun Dao Master was greatly alarmed, realizing that this was a flaw deliberately revealed by Li Yanchu.

Hearing Li Yanchu's words of praise, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This is an extremely subtle operation, and only true masters can react to it; otherwise, it's just a fleeting moment, and the problem won't be noticeable at all.

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master was in this situation, but Li Yanchu tricked him and severed his arm with a single stroke.

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master suddenly said, "Your talent is too great; the three Dao Masters will definitely not tolerate you. You need help."

Li Yanchu coldly replied, "Help? I'm an enemy of the entire world outside this realm. Which group wouldn't want to kill me? What help do you have?"

Tianyang Dao Master shook his head and said, "That's because you haven't shown enough strength to make people take you seriously."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanchu simply smiled faintly and did not refute it.

Although he was strong enough before, he was still just one of many Dao Lords.
But things are different now. He truly has the strength to make people wary, killing the Kui Gang Dao Master in one move.

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master said solemnly, "I am willing to join forces with you, with you as our leader, to create a glorious future in this foreign land."

"Join forces?" Li Yanchu said, "Your plan is likely to fail in the end."

Tianyang Dao Master advised, "Even if you can kill me and the experts of the Hong Realm, can you deal with the three Dao Masters?"

"If what you want to do is too big, you need followers to work together to achieve your great goal."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow.

The Three Great Dao Masters are indeed an insurmountable mountain, and that Great Celestial Venerable is even more unfathomable.

But he is different; he is surrounded by enemies, all alone, and has no allies to this day.

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice, "I killed your people, and now you can still join forces?"

Dao Master Tianyang dismissed it, saying, "It's just that those few are useless. If I join forces with you and try to win over Jun Wushuang and Guo Huzhan, they will need allies to deal with the three Dao Masters, won't they?"

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "I don't trust you."

Tianyang Dao Master said, "A few words are certainly not enough to make one trustworthy, but you and I share common interests. Even if we really have to fight, we should wait until we kill the Hongjie powerhouse and the three Dao Masters, shouldn't we?"

Li Yanchu said, "I must say, your suggestion is very tempting. I do need help to fight against the three Dao Lords and the Great Heavenly Venerable."

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master sighed, “In the past, no one was willing to submit to anyone else. We Dao Masters from other realms were like a pile of loose sand, the weakest of the three major forces. But now it’s different. With you here, you will definitely be able to lead us to a great victory.”

In the past, Li Yanchu would likely have killed the Heavenly Sun Dao Master, but now Li Yanchu has more things to consider.

The three Dao Lords are incredibly powerful; without help, defeating them would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, with Jing Qing and the Great Celestial Venerable still around, they definitely need someone to join forces.

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Brother Li, your magnanimity is beyond that of ordinary people. You are sure to create a great career."

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Tianyang, you're too kind."

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master approached Li Yanchu and bowed slightly in greeting. This proud and arrogant ancient Dao Master was also impressed by Li Yanchu's strength.

He is now extremely wary of the strength of the three Dao Lords. With these three powerful figures in charge, these ancient wandering ghosts really can't cause any trouble. Therefore, a powerful figure is needed to break the deadlock.

With the assistance of the Heavenly Sun Dao Master, Li Yanchu quickly found Guo Huchan, who was also an ancient Dao Master.

Guo Huchan was very fierce. When he saw that the Heavenly Sun Dao Master had lost an arm and was obediently following behind Li Yanchu, he frowned slightly.

He said in a deep voice, "Tianyang, what's wrong with you? Don't tell me you're going to hang out with this kid from now on."

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master showed no shame on his face and said in a deep voice, "Brother Li's Daoist arts are profound, and I am far inferior to him. In the future, I will follow him and assist him in achieving great things. Today, I have come to invite Fellow Daoist Guo to join forces and form an alliance to fight against the Three Dao Masters, the Great Heavenly Venerable, and others."

Upon hearing this, Guo Huzhan's expression became extremely exaggerated, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. Then he laughed loudly, "Tianyang, Tianyang, you're getting worse and worse as you get older! Where's your spirit? Back then, you were surrounded and attacked to the death but you never compromised. Now you're following such a kid!"

Daoist Tianyang said softly, "Fellow Daoist Guo, joining forces now is the best choice, isn't it?"

Guo Huchan's face was full of sneer: "Him? Does he think he's Jing Qing?"

Li Yanchu suddenly said, "Your cultivation level is higher than mine. If I can't hurt you within ten moves, you can leave. In return, you can follow me and form an alliance. How about it?"

Guo Huzhan was furious upon hearing this, and roared, "You?!"

He immediately mobilized his forces and charged forward, instantly creating one cosmic landscape after another.

However, Li Yanchu did not make a move, but the Heavenly Sun Dao Master suddenly intercepted his attack. Although he had lost an arm, it did not affect his combat power.

At this moment, the two cultivators' techniques clashed, causing ripples to spread through the void.

Tianyang Dao Master asked, "Fellow Daoist Guo, have you agreed?"

Guo Huchan sneered: "Tianyang, you've really become a good dog!"

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master angrily said, "Make it quick! Stop dawdling. Are you afraid of losing? Why don't you dare to agree?"

Guo Huchan said, "Alright, I'll fall for his provocation. If this kid can defeat me within ten moves, I'll follow him." Guo Huchan, with his fiery temper, swept past the Heavenly Sun Dao Master and charged towards Li Yanchu.

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master wisely stepped aside and ceased interfering.

Li Yanchu swung his sword, and the light from it seemed to reflect the entire universe.

The knife moved slowly, yet it gave Guo Huchan a feeling of invincibility.

He took out a large drum and started beating it.
dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
The sword light kept attacking Li Yanchu's primordial spirit, dissolving it.

However, in their first encounter, Guo Huchan's brow was split open, and blood flowed freely.

Fortunately, his drum was extremely powerful and ultimately managed to withstand Li Yanchu's Dao-Slaying Divine Blade.

Guo Huchan's face was now covered in blood, making his features appear even more ferocious. He roared, "Come on!"

He excitedly pounded the drum, relentlessly assaulting Li Yanchu's primordial spirit.

Li Yanchu then activated the Great Dao of Slaughter.

Although the killing intent of the alien realm has been weakened considerably, this makes it easier for Li Yanchu to control it.

The killing aura was too intense before, so Li Yanchu didn't dare to easily connect with the killing aura of the other realm, let alone control it, as doing so might cause him to fall into demonic possession.

And this current level is just right.

Li Yanchu surged his cultivation, and in an instant, a peerless heavenly blade descended!

Guo Huchan was shocked. He kept urging the drum to try to neutralize the Heavenly Blade, but after six moves, he still couldn't break it.

The blade flashed and struck in front of Guo Huchan.

Guo Huchan darted tens of thousands of miles in an instant, but he was still swept away by the blade.

He looked down and saw blood gushing from his chest, a horrifying sight.

This blade of light not only contained a terrifying killing intent, but also the two great Daos of calamity and annihilation.
This greatly alarmed Guo Huchan, the ancient Daoist master.

Guo Huchan exhaled a breath of turbid air: "I lost. You can simultaneously mobilize the three Great Daos of Slaughter, Calamity, and Annihilation. Even without the sword in my hand, I cannot defeat you."

Guo Huchan was a very straightforward person. Now that he had lost, he simply admitted defeat without making excuses.

Guo Huchan looked at Li Yanchu's ambiguous smile, his expression turned serious, and he stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I am willing to join forces with you, fellow Daoist, to fight against Hongjie, Jingqing, and the three Dao Masters."

Li Yanchu cupped his hands slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Guo is indeed a straightforward person."

Daoist Tianyang also smiled and said, "It is truly wonderful that Fellow Daoist Guo has abandoned darkness and embraced the light."

Guo Huchan was so angry that he glared at Tianyang Daozhu, spat at him, and said, "We're an alliance, not someone's dog. Can't you at least have some manners?"

Tianyang Daozhu said, "What does it matter? Since Brother Li is our leader, we should naturally follow his lead."

Guo Huchan was very displeased with Tianyang Daozhu's remarks.

The dignified Dao Lord of another realm, who was among the earliest heroes, has now allied with these people from the lower realm and elected him as their leader. This is all because of Dao Lord Tianyang.

However, Guo Huchan valued his reputation highly. He joined forces with Li Yanchu and obediently followed Li Yanchu's side.

With the help of Tianyang Daozhu and Guo Huchan, Li Yanchu quickly found Jun Wushuang.

Jun Wushuang had an ancient and solemn face, like a block of ice that had never changed for thousands of years.

However, when he heard the Heavenly Sun Dao Master state that he had joined forces with Li Yanchu and nominated him as their leader, the hot-tempered Guo Huchan tacitly agreed to it.

Jun Wushuang's expression immediately changed, and he said hoarsely, "Really?"

His tone was filled with shock, confusion, and doubt, his gaze fixed intently on Guo Huzhan.
Compared to the Heavenly Yang Dao Master, Guo Huchan's words are much more credible.

Guo Huchan said in a deep voice, "I made a ten-move agreement with him, that I would be defeated by him within ten moves, so I intend to follow him."

Jun Wushuang was even more surprised. He looked at Li Yanchu and slowly said, "You defeated Daoist Guo within ten moves. Your cultivation has reached this level?"

Li Yanchu said frankly, "Relying on my true abilities is naturally not enough, but the surrounding extraterrestrial calamities are just what I need to use."

Although Jun Wushuang was opposed to Li Yanchu and had previously wished to kill him, he now slightly cupped his hands and said, "Being able to mobilize the power of the alien killing calamity is your skill, and being able to speak frankly shows your magnanimity."

The Heavenly Sun Dao Master earnestly advised, "Fellow Daoist Jun, why don't you join forces with us? The Great Heavenly Venerable of the Hong Realm has already emerged. With Jing Qing and the other two Dao Masters, if we don't join forces, we will be defeated one by one sooner or later and return to chaos."

Jun Wushuang said calmly, "That's why Daoist Guo was persuaded by you."

Guo Huchan blushed as he spoke. If it weren't for this, Guo Huchan wouldn't have made a ten-move agreement with someone. He would rather be beaten to death than form an alliance with Li Yanchu.

The current situation is indeed very bad for these ancient Dao Lords. Hongjie wants to kill them, as do the three Dao Lords, and now there's Jing Qing as well.

Everyone felt threatened.

Jun Wushuang said in a deep voice, "We can form an alliance, but I must be the leader, otherwise I cannot trust you."

Jun Wushuang didn't trust Li Yanchu at all, and her tone was very firm, brooking no argument.

Tianyang Daoist Master quickly said, "Only Brother Li is most suitable to be the leader. Fellow Daoist Jun, you shouldn't be too stubborn."

Jun Wushuang smiled and said, "Then let's do as Fellow Daoist Guo does and determine the winner based on cultivation level."

He looked at Li Yanchu and said in a deep voice, "Since you and Fellow Daoist Guo have agreed to a ten-move deal, I can't refuse either. We will also agree to a ten-move deal."

Li Yanchu nodded slightly: "Okay."

Jun Wushuang exerted a great deal of pressure on him; previously, he had no confidence in defeating Jun Wushuang.

Not to mention ten moves. For him, when he unleashes his full power and fights to the death, whether it's ten moves or a hundred moves, it doesn't make much difference.

Jun Wushuang's expression was solemn at this moment. He was surging his cultivation and his body was completely transforming into an ancient god. His muscles were bulging and, from behind, it looked as if a great dragon was wrapped around his body. His blood and qi were overwhelming. Just standing there, he looked like an ancient demon god.

Jun Wushuang activated the bloodline of the ancient god. Although he was only a demigod, his bloodline was extremely pure.

At this moment, he unleashed his full power and charged directly at Li Yanchu, choosing close combat.

His fists, palms, elbows, legs, knees, and other weapons transformed into the most primitive weapons, extremely ferocious, attacking Li Yanchu in an instant, as if he wanted to beat Li Yanchu into a pile of mangled flesh.

Tianyang Daozhu's heart sank, thinking to himself, "Daozhu Jun is risking everything!"
