May I seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and live a long and prosperous life.

If he doesn't go, the three million people of Yuncheng will surely be plunged into misery.

After the bandits occupied Luoyan City, Yang City, Feng City, and Kang City, these cities became hell on earth.

Moreover, he's not a fool who would recklessly throw his life away. Given the ability, he'd definitely do something, even if it meant taking a little risk.

……

Yuncheng.

This battle between grandmasters was extremely intense.

Seven Grandmaster-level martial artists versus thirteen Grandmaster-level martial artists.

Of the seven Grandmaster-level martial artists in Yuncheng, six are facing off against two others, making it an unequal battle from the start.

But none of these seven grandmasters deserted in the face of battle. Even knowing that they were doomed, they did not retreat a single step!

This time, the Grandmaster-level martial artists in Chen Tianwang's camp learned from their previous experiences of being dragged down with the enemy by their self-destruction.

They chose to engage in prolonged, close-quarters combat rather than hand-to-hand fighting, and they were not in a hurry to defeat their opponent immediately, but rather opted to wear them down.

Wait until the opponent's internal energy is depleted before unleashing a swift and decisive attack.

As a result, this Grandmaster battle lasted an exceptionally long time.

At dusk.

The Grandmaster Battle has reached its most crucial moment.

Of the seven grandmasters in Yuncheng, three are already on the verge of exhausting their inner strength.

If we continue to be slowly boiled like a frog in lukewarm water, we risk being killed in battle.

Finally, one of the grandmasters couldn't wait any longer. He only attacked and didn't defend. He seized a fleeting opportunity to entangle the opposing grandmaster and then self-destructed.

Although he seized an excellent opportunity, his internal energy was almost depleted, so the power of his self-destruction was greatly reduced. It only injured the opponent and did not successfully take him with him on the way.

Blood rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.

"Another grandmaster has fallen in battle."

The Cloud City warriors watching the battle from afar were in low spirits.

"A salute to all the masters! You fought with your lives to carve out a future for Cloud City. Regardless of victory or defeat, the people will remember you, and history will remember you!"

After an incense stick had burned, another master tried to pull the other into a self-destruction, but the explosion only injured the other and did not result in mutual destruction.

Blood rained down again.

"Stop fighting! You guys need to leave now!"

Some martial artists suffered a complete mental breakdown; they couldn't accept such a cruel reality.

Night began to fall.

Currently on the battlefield, Yuncheng's side has only three Grandmasters, while Chen Tianwang's side has nine Grandmasters (the rest were forced to leave the battlefield due to serious injuries).

Three against nine.

No one will have a positive outlook on Yuncheng anymore.

At this moment, the nine grandmasters were still making their final attempts to persuade the other side to surrender.

"Everyone, stop struggling in vain. As long as you agree to surrender, the Heavenly King will treat you as honored guests, and you will enjoy the same treatment as us."

Yan Mufeng, one of the three grandmasters, sneered, "If I were greedy for fame and fortune, would I have fought to this point? You all underestimate the integrity of a grandmaster."

The leader of the three swordsmen, the Azure Rainbow Swordsman, gripped his longsword tightly and shouted sharply, "Since you are so stubborn, then we have no choice but to eliminate you!"

"Come on, a grandmaster can only be killed, not humiliated!"

Just as the two sides were about to fight, a person suddenly appeared next to the Azure Dragon Swordsman. The speed was so fast that it seemed as if he had teleported.

The person who arrived was Li Heng, who had finally reached the battlefield.

Li Heng threw a punch, and a fist-sized blood hole immediately appeared in the left chest of the Azure Rainbow Swordsman.

The Azure Rainbow Swordsman's eyes bulged out, his expression one of utter astonishment, as if he had died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Even on his deathbed, he couldn't fathom how his opponent had appeared, or how such a powerful martial artist could have killed him in a single move. He was one of the three most outstanding disciples of this generation on the Great Snow Mountain!

The body of the Azure Rainbow Swordsman fell to the ground, staining the earth red with blood.

"Who is this...? Dressed in black and masked? Could he be... Night Emperor?" The martial artists watching from afar were all stunned.

That masked, black-clad powerhouse killed the strongest of the three swordsmen, the Azure Rainbow Swordsman, in a single move. That's incredibly powerful.

"Clad in black and masked, appearing in the darkness, and killing the Azure Rainbow Swordsman in one move? He must be the Night Emperor; only the Night Emperor would make such an appearance!"

"We're saved! Night Emperor, he's back! He's so much stronger than he was thirteen years ago! He killed his enemy in one move, it's truly gratifying!"

After killing the Azure Rainbow Swordsman, Li Heng quickly switched to another target.

The next second, he used his ghostly lightness skill to appear behind Flying Star Swordsman, one of the Three Swordsmen, and unleashed a simple and unadorned Life-Destroying Palm strike.

Before the Flying Star Swordsman could even muster his inner strength to resist, the Death-Snatching Palm burned away all of his lifespan.

In the blink of an eye, the Flying Star Swordsman transformed from flesh and blood into a withered old corpse.

At this moment, the Blood Lotus Cult Leader, who was watching from a distance, had his pupils shrink slightly.

The method used by this man in black was the Blood Lotus Sect's secret technique, the Life-Destroying Palm!

"It seems that this person must be Ye Tianzi, who is also the traitor of my sect, Li Xiao. How did he become so powerful? Not only did he advance to the Grandmaster realm, but he can also kill a late-stage Grandmaster in one move. This is terrifying." The Blood Lotus Sect leader thought to himself.

"However, he used the desperate methods I taught him. These methods cannot be used too often, as they will shorten one's lifespan. He must want to finish this quickly."

Realizing this, the leader of the Blood Lotus Cult quickly issued a retreat signal, not giving Night Emperor the opportunity to continue killing other Grandmasters.

Unfortunately, Li Heng was faster. In order to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, Li Heng continuously activated a series of life-threatening secret techniques, such as Overlord Force, Life-Destroying Palm, and Blood Lotus Sect's lightness skill.

Originally, with the profound realm achieved through ten cycles of the Nine Tribulations Nirvana Technique, he could easily kill ordinary late-stage Grandmaster martial artists. Not to mention, Li Heng also activated the Life-Saving Secret Technique, which directly increased his combat power by a large margin.

Li Heng could kill them as easily as swatting a few ants.

These battles, though seemingly long, are actually just a matter of a moment.

"Second Brother!" The Swordsman of Chasing the Wind was horrified when he saw his two older brothers killed in an instant by a mysterious man in black.

After killing the Flying Star Swordsman, Li Heng immediately set his sights on the Wind Chaser Swordsman who was still in a daze. He instantly teleported in front of the Wind Chaser Swordsman and struck out with his palm as before.

The Wind Chaser Swordsman was utterly powerless against the Life-Destroying Palm, which reduced him to a withered, dried-up corpse.

The Three Musketeers have fallen!

After killing the three swordsmen, Li Heng continued to mercilessly slaughter the grandmaster martial artists on Chen Tianwang's side on the battlefield.

At this moment, the martial artists on Chen Tianwang's side watched from a distance as Li Heng killed the three swordsmen, and they were all filled with great fear.

"Just who is this masked man in black?! He's incredibly fast, terrifying! In about three breaths, he killed three Grandmaster-level experts in succession. He's inhuman!"

"We can't win, the gap is too big! We were killed before we even saw the enemy."

The ensuing battle was another one-sided massacre. The remaining Grandmasters of the opposing side tried to escape, some even escaping far enough to approach Chen Tianwang's camp, but they were still caught up and struck by a palm.
