Chapter 986 - 436: Yunluo’s Outcome (2)

The stronger his cultivation, the faster his refining speed.

"I hope An Li and the others... can stay safe."

This was the only concern in Li An's heart.

In reality, as long as he could take the Daluo Laws and leave, the Ninth Celestial Realm wouldn't hold much value for him anymore.

...

At this moment.

The Ninth Celestial Realm.

In three days, the Ninth Celestial Realm was almost entirely destroyed, the once boundless world had turned into patches of cosmic floating soil, drifting in the primordial yellow dust.

Although the Daluo Golden Immortals of the Tenth Celestial Realm were completely wiped out by Li An, the number and strength of the strange Daluo Golden Immortals were still above the Heavenly Court's side.

Especially since Xiang Yuntian and Ye Cauldron fell under the traitor Chu Minggu, suddenly increasing the pressure on the other Daluo Golden Immortals.

In fact, Celestial Monarch Shi Teng, Celestial Monarch Zuo Feng, and others were able to firmly hold their ground until now because of the changes in the battle situation on the Tenth Celestial Realm.

Since there were people on that side who had killed seventeen Daluo Golden Immortals, as long as those people came over, the battle should be reversed, right?

But three days passed, and they were almost at the end of their ropes, yet they still hadn't received the expected reinforcements.

"Although I don't know what methods you used to kill the seventeen Daluo who went to the Tenth Celestial Realm, now, you still have to die!"

The strange side was roaring.

Yunxi, Ye Tiancan, and Biyao Fairy were already extremely exhausted, yet still stood in front of Shangguan Xiaoxiao, just watching the strange Daluo pressing closer, all feeling powerless.

"You all go heal, I'll handle it."

An Li spoke softly as he walked to the front of the group.

He was just a Taiyi Golden Immortal, anyone present could casually kill him.

However, from the start of the battle until now, he was never targeted, not even slightly injured.

When he stepped out at this moment, a group of Daluo Golden Immortals showed some wariness.

The title of Heavenly Court's First Strategist was known by all—overthrowing the Heavenly Court, slaying Evergreen Immortal Venerable, and now using strategy to annihilate the seventeen strange Daluo Golden Immortals in one battle.

Most importantly, they all knew An Li had an unrivaled trump card: the Immortal Venerable Sword Intent!

With three strands of Sword Intent left by Tai'e Sword Saint, one was used during the upheaval of the Heavenly Court, another used to kill Great Monarch Qiongqi, and he... should have one left.

Meaning he could at least kill one Daluo Golden Immortal!

Thus, no one dared to approach him.

"Actually, you don't need to be afraid,"

An Li smiled slightly, calmly saying, "Just need one Daluo Golden Immortal to sacrifice themselves and exhaust the Immortal Venerable Sword Intent, and I am doomed."

"So, who will it be?"

Who will it be?

A group of Daluo Golden Immortals looked at each other.

At this stage, they were all astute people, who would be willing to sacrifice themselves for others?

"Chu Minggu."

At this moment, the strange Daluo suddenly spoke, looking toward Chu Minggu!

Chu Minggu, having exerted himself tirelessly over the three-day battle and covered in injuries, suddenly stiffened with fear upon hearing this, "I... I fear I am no match for the Immortal Venerable Sword Intent."

"Kill him, and you will belong to my Yunluo Palace, and my teacher Yunluo Immortal Venerable can take you as a disciple."

The strange Daluo said coldly, "Fail to kill him, and keeping you serves no purpose!"

Chu Minggu's face turned extremely ugly, feeling anger and regret.

These strange Daluo never treated him as one of their own, sending him into danger first as a mere pawn, expendable.

The key was, he had no courage to refuse now.

He played himself into a dead end!

Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to step forward, staring at An Li, his entire body tense to the extreme, hesitating for a moment, not daring to get too close, and directly attacking from a distance, pointing toward An Li!

An Li watched this point coming at him yet remained unmoving. He calmly took out a wooden box.

Everyone focused on it!

They all knew that what was likely in the box was the Ta'e Sword Intent.

In a critical moment, but An Li did not issue it for a long time. Finally, Chu Minggu's intent fell, yet An Li still did not strike, and a Daluo Armor appeared on his body, attempting to block the attack, but after a violent collision, An Li was sent flying!

He neither blocked it nor issued the Sword Intent!

"An Li!"

"Save him!"

Yunxi and others were shocked, unable to gather their breaths in time, and hurriedly acted to save An Li, but despite having the Daluo Armor, as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he was seriously injured, his face pale, nearly on the verge of death!

Everyone was somewhat astonished.

What happened? Faced with a life-or-death crisis, why didn't An Li use his Sword Intent?

Chu Minggu was also somewhat baffled, having been prepared to flee for his life.

Yet, at that moment, suddenly, a piercing scream rang out from above the nine heavens—

"Ah!"

Instantly, all Daluo Golden Immortals looked up to see in a Daluo Battlefield, Sub-Venerable Yun Qianhe plummeting like a meteor, with a strange aura on his body burning, his life force rapidly draining.

And a Sword Intent had thoroughly penetrated him, although that Sword Intent was also gradually dissipating.

A purple silhouette gracefully descended beside An Li, she looked at An Li and said, "It's a success."

With just this statement, suddenly all Daluo Golden Immortals realized!

"The Ta'e Sword Intent was never with him; it was with the Lord of the Heavenly Court!"

"He deliberately drew our attention, and even in that instant, even the Sub-Venerable fighting Purple Fairy probably was distracted, which is why he was pierced by the Sword Intent, unable to evade... What a cunning, cunning move!"
