Li Yi looked at the elder warrior with white hair and beard, and couldn’t help but put away a bit of his disdain. Although the opponent seemed to be of considerable age, his Qi-Blood was no longer at its peak, yet as the Beihuang Lord, his strength was undeniable. "This Beihuang Lord named Jing He is even more powerful than the Red Gold Mountain Master of the past." With just a glance, Li Yi had roughly assessed this person’s strength. In this Barbaric World. As the lord of a major city, one’s strength must surpass that of a Mountain Lord, because a great city can gather resources from all around the world, constantly extracting Red Gold, and it is very safe, without the worry of being attacked by mutant beasts outside. Most importantly, a Divine Blood Warrior possessing a great city can establish a Divine Blood Family. "It seems that the Divine Blood Warriors of the Beihuang Lineage have truly fallen into decline, with the most powerful Divine Blood Warrior being so aged. Is there no young powerful leader in the clan?" Li Yi said calmly. "Even if the Beihuang Lineage is in decline, a young Mountain Lord like you cannot defeat it. Moreover, the Beihuang Lineage has guarded Beihuai City for generations, and will continue to do so in the future." Jing He’s voice was heavy, but his expression was particularly grave. Because the Divine Blood Warrior called Da Yi in front of him was too young. Becoming the Red Gold Mountain Master at such a young age meant he was destined to be One God in the future. If he couldn’t defeat him today, or kill him, the Beihuang Lineage would have no future. So for him, this confrontation was a brutal challenge regarding the rise and fall of the family, he could only win, not lose. "Da Yi, if you are challenging me, the Beihuang Lord, in the capacity of the Red Gold Mountain Master, according to ancient traditions, if I defeat you, your Red Gold Mountain will belong to me." Jing He added, hoping Li Yi would understand the cost of failure and thus feel pressured. But Li Yi smiled and said, "If the Beihuang Lord loses, then from now on this Beihuai City will belong to me, Da Yi, and your Beihuang Lineage will have to move out immediately, never allowed to return. The Beihuang Lord shouldn’t break his promise, right?" The warriors of this world value promises the most. To fulfill a promise, a warrior is even willing to sacrifice their life. Beihuang Lord Jing He’s face sank, but under everyone’s watchful eyes, he could only agree: "As the Beihuang Lord, if I am defeated, you shall become the new Beihuang Lord, I promise here." "In that case, let’s battle outside the city to avoid involving innocents." After Li Yi finished speaking, he immediately stepped on a Xiangyun and flew towards the outskirts of Beihuai City. The Beihuang Lord understood in his heart that a battle today was likely to end in misfortune for him. He immediately called upon the Divine Blood Warrior Da Ze, then whispered, "This Red Gold Mountain Master named Da Yi is very powerful. I am most likely not coming back, Da Ze, now return immediately, gather the Beihuang Lineage, and leave Beihuai City immediately. Only this way can the continuity of the family be ensured." "Family Head..." stunned Da Ze widened his eyes, appearing very shocked. He didn’t expect that the Beihuang Lord, who was invincible in his impression, would say such things. "I have aged, I can only pave a path of survival for my descendants, Da Ze, do not be sad, do not be in pain. The rise and fall of the Divine Blood Families has played out continually on this ancient land. Just didn’t expect this day would come so swiftly upon our Beihuang Lineage, I thought I could hold out till a hundred." Beihuang Lord Jing He’s gaze turned somewhat complex. "Hurry and go, remember to gather crucial members of the clan, bring the Divine Blood Lineage, and leave immediately. Abandon everything else. As long as the Beihuang bloodline does not break off, there is a possibility of rise and fall once again in the future." After he finished, he pushed Da Ze away with a force. Da Ze’s robust figure flew backward, heavily crashing into the City Lord Mansion. Beihuang Lord Jing He took a deep look at this great city where he had lived for countless years, and then without turning his head, he decisively dashed towards the city outskirts, even though he had no confidence in defeating the formidable enemy called Da Yi. But he determined to put his old life on the line, inflict severe damage on him, and delay his growth speed should still be feasible. And the time obtained would be sufficient to nourish and nurture the Beihuang Lineage to take root and grow again in other places. After all, Da Ze was indeed a Ten Mountain Master Level Divine Blood Warrior, and wherever he went, he could lead the clan to survive. He took a deep breath. The Qi-Blood throughout Beihuang Lord Jing He’s body seemed to be burning, and on his robust body, divine patterns like blue water ripples started to shine. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his youthful days, high-spirited, unruly. Li Yi appeared on an open ground outside Beihuai City, his Primordial Spirit Dharma sensed the world, naturally overhearing the last instructions of Beihuang Lord Jing He, but he did not stop it. To a cultivator of his level, such matters were irrelevant trifles. Moreover, a defeated Divine Blood Family wandering in the Wilderness is an extremely dangerous situation. Passing Merchant Masters, City Lords, and Mountain Lords would hover over them like vultures, plundering their wealth and population until nothing was left. The Barbaric World has no law, here, the most primitive and ancient rules apply. Bang! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵 A sound like the landing of an artillery shell resounded, as the Beihuang Lord quickly appeared opposite Li Yi. The divine blood lineage within him seemed to be burning, his whole body radiating a blue aura flame as if transformed. "Burning Divine Blood to exchange for peak power?" Li Yi’s expression slightly moved: "Didn’t expect the Beihuang Lord to still have such a move hidden." This method was a bit like how the Four Seas and Eight Continents would expend Heart Blood, stimulating potential for a desperate fight. "Very good, Beihuang Lord, you did not disappoint me. Arranging final matters, sending away clan members, burning Divine Blood, all just to fight me without any distractions, no matter if this battle is won or lost, you will die." Li Yi shouted, praising this kind of spirit. "Young Divine Blood Warrior, you are too arrogant. Perhaps the one who dies here today will be you. You shouldn’t challenge me, for you are still the Red Gold Mountain Master, and may even be One God in the future." Beihuang Lord gazed at Li Yi, like an old lion scrutinizing its prey. Moreover, knowing his peak time was not abundant, he didn’t waste excessive words. "So, Da Yi, today be defeated at the hands of Beihuang Lord." The moment the voice fell. Between heaven and earth, a violent storm arose. This Beihuang Lord roared, the burning Divine Blood blossoming supreme divine power like an ocean, followed by a manifestation of Divine’s shadow appearing in this world. This is... Divine Arts. This aging Beihuang Lord came and exerted all his strength, unleashing Divine Arts, trying to take Li Yi by surprise. As long as this strike can heavily damage Li Yi, it would be worth it. The Divine shadow roared, ancient force revived between heaven and earth, at this moment, as if the Divine’s will resided in Beihuang Lord, elevating his power to an undeserved level. This is the frightening art of Divine Arts, awakening divine power from ancient bloodlines, capable of surging strength in an instant, but at the cost of heavy stamina consumption, a normal Divine Blood Lineage can use Divine Arts only twice in a battle. The Divine shadow swung its arm, crashing down from the firmament like a pouring blue sky, without the power of heaven opening, anyone would turn to dust under this strike. Such a scene was witnessed by many warriors and sages in Beihuai City, leaving them utterly shocked. "This is the Divine Arts of Beihuang Lineage, it seems our Beihuang Lord is fighting desperately." A sage sighed wistfully. Only when there is vast disparity in strength one unleashes Divine Arts at the start, because only in the best state, delivering the strongest strike, can there be a chance to win. If this can’t have an effect, then words are inapplicable. "Surely cunning, fighting desperately at the start, but do you think I fear you?" Li Yi’s eyes glinted, silver lightning intertwined around his body, the hundred and five acupoints reverberated, Dragon and Tiger Power spewed. No excessive flourish, he simply combined physical body and mana, posed the most humble boxing stance, then punched forth. As that strike occurred, space twisted and tore, Dragon and Tiger’s sound ruptured the sky, terrifying fist light seemed to swallow everything, nothing could obstruct its path. The two powerful Divine Blood Warriors clashed together. Terrifying residual power raged, the blue sky was torn by fist light, Divine shadow seemed to mourn at that moment, seemingly crushed by another unmatched formidable will. "How could it be?" The aging Beihuang Lord currently widened his eyes, unable to believe the scene. His peak power’s Divine Arts was unexpectedly defeated by Da Yi. Could this young Divine Blood Warrior truly be this strong? Remaining fist light surged forth. Beihuang Lord was immediately blown away, like a meteor, he flew into the distance, slammed heavily to the ground, shattering a piece of land. But the tempered physique allowed Beihuang Lord to charge out again from the ruins, the heavy armor on him avoided a critical injury. "Not bad, able to withstand my punch, but only just that." Li Yi’s expression was calm, he already discerned the disparity between them. This Beihuang Lord was not weak in strength, at peak state, unleashing Divine Arts should reach Demon King’s level combat power, but unfortunately, today he met Li Yi, any real Demon King he faced would still have some chance to win. "Beihuang Lord, let me personally send you on your way." His foot stepped forward, his figure seemed to ignore space, instantly closing the distance. "Young man, don’t speak big words." Beihuang Lord’s Divine Blood burned, his state still at peak, the nearly dissipated Divine shadow behind him gathered again, but the cost was, his once strong, broad body now appeared somewhat withered. The consumption of Divine Blood inside was faster than anticipated. Stalling time was impossible, a strategy must be devised to heavily injure this person. Thinking of this, Beihuang Lord didn’t retreat but directly faced upward, the Divine shadow behind him waved its arms, collapsing the sky, unleashing terrifying power again.
