"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, Li Xiaotian's body was sent flying through the air like a kite with a broken string.
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth.
He forcefully halted his body, a flicker of shock flashing in his eyes. The demonized Pu Bucheng was too strong, at least twice as powerful as before!
No wonder the other party dared to establish the Great Han Dynasty and send people to subjugate the Great Qin; the opponent had the confidence!
"Hmph! Just an ant. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. What a pity!"
Pu Bucheng sneered and then pursued Li Xiaotian, terrifying fluctuations rippling with every movement.
"Die!"
Pu Bucheng's right hand transformed into a claw and he reached out to Li Xiaotian again. The figure behind him also rippled, mirroring his actions.
Instantly, three beams of light materialized in front of Li Xiaotian.
Not good!
Li Xiaotian's heart tightened as he saw this. He violently retreated, simultaneously controlling a large amount of devouring demonic energy to engulf the three beams of light.
However, the devouring demonic energy had very limited effect. After all, he had only just broken through to the Overlord level, and his control over the devouring laws was still minimal.
Pu Bucheng's strength, at this moment, was at least comparable to a top-tier Overlord. The energy contained in his attacks was entirely capable of disregarding Li Xiaotian's devouring ability.
"Break!"
Pu Bucheng let out a low roar, and Li Xiaotian's devouring demonic energy scattered instantly. Then, the three beams of light shot towards Li Xiaotian at extreme speed.
Li Xiaotian's heart tightened, his mind rapidly searching for a solution.
His only reliance now was the Heaven-Slaying Saber Technique and the devouring demonic energy, neither of which could currently withstand Pu Bucheng.
Should he reverse his demonic cultivation again? Li Xiaotian pondered, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Reversing his demonic cultivation was an option only in the direst circumstances. The murderous feeling from the last time made him extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, the current battlefield situation showed the Great Qin holding an advantage. Only his side was in danger.
However, if he were completely defeated by Pu Bucheng, then the Great Qin would be in peril.
After all, Li Xiaotian was the only one present who could contend with Pu Bucheng.
But now, he was at a complete disadvantage, unless his saber technique advanced further, or his control over the Great Dao of Devouring increased.
However, the latter required time, which was clearly impossible now!
Heaven-Slaying Saber Technique! Combine Saber! Or, unleash the Eighth Saber!
Li Xiaotian's mind raced, debating between combining sabers or unleashing the eighth saber.
The latter was easier but could only resolve the immediate predicament, not defeat Pu Bucheng.
He could sense that Pu Bucheng definitely had more tricks up his sleeve. The other party had already revealed his demonization. Would the demon race secretly cooperating with him also make a move today?
If that were the case, then they would all be in grave danger today!
With this thought, a fierce glint flashed in Li Xiaotian's eyes. Combine Saber! Combine the first and second sabers!
He wasn't gambling. Gu Wentian had shared many of his insights into the Heaven-Slaying Saber Technique, and Li Xiaotian could vaguely grasp that feeling.
But he had never had the time to try it.
And today, he had to risk trying it. Furthermore, he was confident that even if the combined saber failed, Pu Bucheng's current attack wouldn't gravely injure him.
After all, the Dragon King Palace was always with him. It was the Demon Lord's palace, a top-tier Heavenly Soldier of defense!
Even if he couldn't currently unleash the full might of the Dragon King Palace, its inherent defensive capabilities alone were not something that Pu Bucheng could break.
Just like this!
Everything was decided in an instant. Less than a breath had passed in the outside world.
At this moment, Pu Bucheng's claw strike was nearing Li Xiaotian. The terrifying might sent shivers down Li Xiaotian's spine, and his inner alarm bells were ringing loudly.
"Not good! Little Friend Li is in danger!!!"
From afar, Gu Qing and the others saw this scene, and they all became anxious. Their side only had Li Xiaotian as an Overlord. If Li Xiaotian died, then everyone present would surely perish.
"Damn it, this Pu Bucheng hid himself too deeply. There was no such person from ancient Goryeo. We were careless this time!"
Zhan Tianxia spoke, his expression grave, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, as if he were contemplating.
Should he intervene? Zhan Tianxia wondered, filled with indecision. If he intervened now, and the demon race cooperating with Great Han ultimately made a move, would the Great Qin side have any fallback?
He too had considered the possibility of the demon race intervening, which was why he had been holding back.
If everyone knew Zhan Tianxia's thoughts at this moment, they would surely be astonished.
The fact that the other party dared to make a move at this juncture indicated that he had the confidence to intercept Pu Bucheng, meaning he had been hiding his strength, and his true power might have already broken through to the Overlord level!
Just as Zhan Tianxia was still hesitating, Li Xiaotian in the sky suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Zhan Tianxia was stunned. What was he doing?
But then, Zhan Tianxia's eyes slightly lifted. He sensed different fluctuations emanating from Li Xiaotian.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotian had closed his eyes. At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
His mind was a realm of tranquility, no longer considering the external dangers, nor the outcome of the battle.
In his heart, there was only one thought: the saber! The saber that slays the heavens!
He recalled Gu Wentian describing the scene of the ancient Gu family ancestor creating the Heaven-Slaying Saber Technique.
At that time, Gu was trapped by a formidable enemy in a boundless void, with no means of replenishing his energy. The void was devoid of any life force, only deathly silence, instilling infinite despair.
The enemy intended to trap Gu to death. However, Gu had meditated for endless eons, his body and mind integrated with the Great Dao of the Saber. In the face of immense despair, he found a glimmer of hope.
That was the Heaven-Slaying Saber Technique!
To slay the silent heavens, to break the endless void, and to annihilate the enemy!
With that saber strike, the heavens and earth changed color, the entire void shattered instantly, and Gu's formidable enemy perished in that single blow!
One saber strike, and an invincible powerhouse was slain!
