I defeated the saint with a parry.

"Young Master!"

Hou Le sensed the change in Xu Ling's aura and was greatly alarmed. He turned around and in the next instant, he appeared in the fox pack carrying Li Xi.

Li Xi seemed to be possessed, constantly muttering "impossible," seemingly unable to hear Hou Le's calls.

Helpless, Hou Le had no choice but to use his divine sense to stimulate Li Xi's sea of ​​consciousness and awaken him.

"Young Master! Don't overthink it. Didn't you already know about Xu Ling's special qualities?"

Li Xi smiled wryly: "I knew that's why I haven't touched him or had any ill intentions towards him, but he doesn't follow the rules."

"Huh?" Hou Le was puzzled. He glanced at Xu Ling in the distance and indeed felt that the latter seemed a bit dazed, yet his aura was undeniably strong. "Something's definitely not right. He's just standing there motionless. What happened?"

Unbeknownst to them, "Xu Ling" was broadcasting: "Triggered cutscene... Unable to operate..."

Li Xi sighed: "He can summon spirits."

"Huh?" Hou Le was puzzled again. "Gods? Aren't they legendary beings? Even the oldest records in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom don't mention how gods disappeared... Didn't Young Master just treat them as stories all along?"

Hou Le was at a higher level and knew more secrets. With his level of understanding, he naturally knew that gods were something ethereal and elusive.

The gods of the incense-burning path and the gods here are completely different concepts and cannot be compared.

The legendary primordial world is too far removed from the present, and whether those so-called gods truly existed has always been a matter of doubt.

But now, his young master is actually confused because of this matter.

He had known the young master since he first met her, and all he knew was that she was exceptionally talented and proud; she had never shown such a dejected look before.

Li Xi pointed at Xu Ling: "You don't understand. A breath appeared on him once. I would never be wrong. That aura was as terrifying as the Heavenly Dao, but it was also mixed with a trace of humanity. It was extremely similar to the legendary gods who lived as long as heaven and earth."

"..."

Hou Le knew Li Xi wouldn't lie, so he had no choice but to entrust the young master to the surrounding fox clan: "Keep an eye on the young master!"

"Xu Huaixu has concealed his cultivation level. The Ghost King of the Underworld, the Nine Yama Kings of Jin Yu Lou, and I can't hold on any longer! The only chance now is for you to concentrate your mind and activate the formation to completely merge Fancheng with the Underworld, otherwise..."

Hou Le didn't finish speaking, but Li Xi understood what he meant. If the plan failed at this stage, then decades of hard work would have been in vain.

"Alright! I won't get distracted anymore; I'll leave the rest to the elders."

After Li Xi finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

Centered on her, a power spread out, and the runes carved on the ground lit up one by one, instantly amplifying the already powerful rune energy.

This land began to expand at a visible rate...

"Σ(°ロ°)! Look, isn't the underworld falling down?"

Following Zhong Song's voice, everyone looked up and saw that the underworld, which had been far above the ground, was approaching them at an extremely fast speed. From this perspective, it truly looked like a descent.

That doesn't count either.

The reason the land beneath their feet seemed to grow larger was because this area was getting closer and closer to the mortal realm.

The moment their ground overlaps with the bustling city will be the moment the formation is complete.

At this moment, three more beams of light flew out from the falling "underworld".

The King of the Underworld flew at the forefront, emanating ghostly energy. The dark, murky ball was him. As he flew, he shouted, "Damn it! Who got this intelligence? Xu Huaixu is just one step away from leaping over the dragon gate. How could we possibly handle him? If you had said so earlier, I would have sent the Ghost Emperor!"

"Damn it!" Jin Yulou's Nine Yama Kings followed closely behind, his body covered in wounds. It was unclear whether Xu Huaixu was targeting him, but of the three Dragon Gate Realm experts, he was the most severely injured: "When I return, I will surely wipe out the intelligence operatives in the tower. What a waste of one of my most precious life-saving treasures..."

"Monkeys from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, my precious treasure can only hold Xu Huaixu for a moment. Are you even capable? If you don't hurry, all of this will fall apart."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Hou Le shouted unhappily, "This young man surnamed Xu is acting strangely. You all need to be careful. If it weren't for him blocking the way, my young master would have already completed the formation."

"Oh?"

The two balls landed, revealing the figures of two guys.

The ghost king from the underworld had a strange appearance. Although he had a human body and face, he had a single red horn on his head and two sharp teeth showing at the corners of his mouth.

It does resemble the evil god statue that Xu Ling and the others saw in Peach Blossom Village.

"I don't know what, this kid must have used some secret technique to forcibly advance to the Dragon Gate Realm."

Jin Yulou's Nine Yama Kings cursed, "This kid was only at the Body Tempering Realm before, how did he get to the Dragon Gate Realm? What secret technique could have such an effect? ​​Tell me! Foolish!"

Like Wei Wuyan, these Nine Yama Kings had lost their human form, being one part human and ninety-nine parts ghost.

Everyone's assessment of Jin Yulou is quite accurate; his cultivation technique is indeed beyond human capabilities.

"Lu Tian! Don't think that just because you bear the name of Yama, I'm afraid of you. We're both at the Dragon Gate Realm. If it weren't for Fancheng turning into a ghost city, which would benefit my clan, why would I be with you?"

"Red Demon King, the matter at hand is of utmost importance. I will not contend with you. If this matter is ruined, your clan elders will not let you off the hook."

"snort!"

After a brief exchange of words, the two of them finally shut up.

Then "Xu Ling" started moving again.

The cutscene has finished playing. New character bosses "Ghost King" and "Yama - Pseudo" have been successfully matched...

Xu Ling charged forward with his sword drawn, his expression remaining unchanged even as he faced three Dragon Gate Realm experts.

This audacity drew the attention of the three people opposite him.

"What audacity this junior from the Demon Suppression Division has! I'd like to see if every official here is as powerful as Xu Huaixu."

Having suffered a setback at Xu Huaixu's hands, the Crimson Demon King was looking for a way to vent his anger. He grabbed his spear and charged at Xu Ling.

Although both are Dao artifacts, this spear feels completely different from the True Spirit Tower.

Xu Ling: "Movement analysis and skill analysis complete. 100% successful anti-move trajectory planning. Perfect parry operation..."

"One! Two!"

After two shots, Xu Ling held his sword to the sky, which caught the gun barrel.

The Crimson Demon King sneered, "So this is all you've got? You actually dared to use a Spirit Treasure to directly block a Dao Artifact!"

Before the laughter could finish, it froze on the Ghost King's face.

With a twist of his wrist, Xu Ling deflected the blade downwards, and the spear thrust followed suit, completely neutralizing the force of the attack. Not a single ounce of power remained on Xu Ling.

That wasn't all. Xu Ling drew a circle, leading the gun out, and with a cold face, he faced the Ghost King head-on, slashing his blade towards the Ghost King's face.

The Ghost King had never seen anything like this before, and he dodged away in a flash: "This kid is definitely not right. Why is he using basic moves? Is your Demon Suppression Division in the mortal realm so poor that you don't even have martial arts techniques?"

Hou Le sneered, saying that the Ghost King was stupid, but the Ghost King didn't believe him: "Didn't you notice? He doesn't have any spiritual power, but his aura alone is at the Dragon Gate Realm."

They had no idea about combat power; they just treated it as body training.

"Stop delaying, attack together!"

Hou Le led the way and joined the melee.

The three of them took turns making moves, each one a powerful technique of the Dragon Gate Realm, their every gesture displaying the divine abilities of the Dharma Aspect level.

The enormous palm, imbued with the power of the Dragon Gate Realm, was like three towering mountains, pressing down on Xu Ling in three directions, determined to crush him into dust.

They knew that Xu Ling had no spiritual power, so naturally they couldn't use the same moves to fight him.

But Xu Ling only sees data and calculations; all demons and monsters will reveal their true forms in front of the system.

The so-called Dharma form and spiritual power are merely alternative manifestations of energy bodies. In a sense, they are no different from special weapons.

"Analysis complete..."
