This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

The three Great Demon Kings looked in the direction from which the sound had come and in the next instant, their bodies went cold as hair stood on end.

A cultivator, his body flickering with thunder and lightning, was suspended in the air and heading straight towards them.

In his left hand, numerous tiny thunder serpents slithered, distorting the space around them, a testament to their power.

"A dog-eat-dog fight is indeed a spectacle," Beiming True Venerable said with disdain as he looked down upon Li Venerable, who lay on the ground, "But if a dog is planning to flee, I can't be blamed for stepping in to block its path."

Struggling, Li Venerable managed to rise from the ground, blood oozing crimson from his nostrils, corners of his mouth, and ears.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Li Venerable's pupils contracted as he stared intently at Beiming True Venerable, who had transformed into a Thunder God, his voice trembling slightly, "Beiming Divine Thunder... Beiming True Venerable, how could you appear here!"

"You recognize quality," Beiming True Venerable's fierce gaze swept across Li Venerable's face as he confidently declared, "Li Venerable, lord of the Netherworld's Lingxu Tower, your methods are indeed not bad, keeping my Lingxu Tower under pressure and unable to catch a breath for a hundred years.

"This time, I want to see if your tricks can help you escape from my grasp."

"This is Beiming True Venerable of Lingxu Tower, if we continue to fight each other, I fear that both our Netherworld and your Demon Spirit Palace will die here today!" Li Venerable, realizing the grim situation, shouted sharply, "Let's set aside our past conflicts and join forces, how about that?"

Even though joining forces would hardly be enough to contend with a Void Refining Cultivator, Li Venerable would not give up the struggle easily, willing to attempt any useful endeavor.

The three Great Demon Kings exchanged glances, also realizing the peril of the situation, and made a decisive decision, "Let's join forces; we'll address the current predicament first, our issues can wait until later."

In an instant, the three Great Demon Kings reached an agreement with Li Venerable to join forces, and they simultaneously issued orders to their subordinate cultivators and Demon Beasts.

At the command of the three Great Demon Kings and Li Venerable, the cultivators of the Netherworld and numerous Demon Beasts, who were involved in a chaotic battle in the valley, all ceased fighting and stared fiercely at Beiming True Venerable.

Confronting the gazes of so many, Beiming True Venerable remained confident, and with a mere thought, the thunder serpents coiled in his hand launched an attack towards the three Great Demon Kings and Li Venerable.

"Not good!" The faces of the three Great Demon Kings and Li Venerable changed, and they displayed their Divine Skills in an attempt to fend off the attack of this Divine Thunder.

The three Great Demon Kings manifested a thick aura of Demon Qi over their bodies, their flesh tightening in preparation to meet the thunder serpents' assault.

Li Venerable's face contorted into a ferocious grimace at that moment, his body suddenly swelling, shattering the black robe he was wearing.

His originally normal human shape transformed in the blink of an eye into a giant being more than ten feet tall, covered in dark hues, his naked body marked with densely packed, ripple-like blue Runes if one looked closely.

Hidden Scale Demon, a rare Demonic Transformation among Netherworld cultivators.

Li Venerable channeled Spiritual Power into these Runes, and in an instant, they all lit up, his aura surging in power.

Boom!

A thunder serpent struck Li Venerable, whose body shone brightly, and with a sizzling sound, the Beiming Divine Thunder, which had previously severely injured Li Venerable, appeared to have caused only some minor external injuries to his body this time.

The three Great Demon Kings experienced the same, with only some singed fur on their bodies from the thunder serpent's strike, seemingly not severely injured.

"Is that all there is to it..." The Wolf Palace Demon King sneered, about to say something mocking, when suddenly he opened his mouth and uncontrollably spewed out a mouthful of blood.

The actions of the other three mirrored those of the Wolf Palace Demon King exactly.

"Worthy of the Beiming Divine Thunder that the Beiming True Venerable is famous for!" Li Venerable murmured.

This thunder serpent was so cunning that it had directly penetrated their bodies and started assaulting their internal organs!

Seeing this scene, Beiming True Venerable was not the least bit surprised and let out a cold laugh.

As a Thunder Cultivator, just like a Sword Cultivator cultivates a Life-bound Sword, he had cultivated a Life-bound Divine Thunder— the Beiming Divine Thunder.

Beiming Divine Thunder, as a Thunder Spell with a Water Attribute, possessed not only the formidable destructive power of Thunder Techniques but also the infiltrating and permeating power of Water Techniques. It was indeed tricky and powerful, making it difficult to guard against.

This was the most potent technique of Beiming True Venerable, and his title was derived from it. Even Cultivators of the same rank had to fear the Beiming Divine Thunder, let alone Li Venerable, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and the three Great Demon Kings of the Fourth Grade Realm?

Under the bombardment of the Beiming Divine Thunder, the three Great Demon Kings and Li Venerable were all reeling, blood flowing from all their orifices.

"No good," exclaimed the Bao Ming Demon King in horror, "the power of this Thunder Technique is too overwhelming. With just a casual move, it has already inflicted such severe damage on us. Even if we work together, we are no match for it. I'm leaving first!"

The next moment, in a state of panic, the Bao Ming Demon King disregarded everything else and transformed into a swift, wind-like stream of black light as it fled towards the outside.

Among the Cultivators and Demon Beasts present, when it came to speed, it was indeed the fastest, so if anyone had the best chance to escape, it was definitely this one.

In such a situation, the Bao Ming Demon King quickly lost its will to fight and bolted.

Bang! Boom!

But just as its figure began to ascend, rising only dozens of feet from the valley, a thunderous explosion resounded from the Void.

The Bao Ming Demon King's entire body was engulfed in electric light, its fur scorched as it fell from the sky and collapsed on the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

Li Venerable looked in the direction of the Bao Ming Demon King's escape and could faintly see in that empty space, a bolt of lightning briefly flickered.

It was precisely this bolt of lightning that intercepted the fleeing Bao Ming Demon King.

"Invisible Yin Thunder!" gritted Li Venerable, emphasizing each word deliberately.

This lightning hidden within the Void was exactly the Invisible Yin Thunder, formless and invisible, able to be silently set up within space.

Unknown to them, Beiming True Venerable had already deployed such a sinister Thunder Technique to block their retreat.

Li Venerable couldn't predict how many Invisible Yin Thunder bolts Beiming True Venerable had hidden in the surrounding space.

But he knew that with the killing power of the Invisible Yin Thunder being so great, it couldn't possibly cover all areas; there must be gaps to be found.

But where was the way out? Read new chapters at empire

The Invisible Yin Thunder was deeply hidden in the Void, and as he looked around, each place seemed safe, yet at the next moment, he felt that every spot was lethal.

Li Venerable's eyes were filled with a grim shadow.

He didn't dare to gamble rashly; receiving even a few more Invisible Yin Thunders, he feared that he would lose all capacity to resist.

The next moment, Li Venerable made a particularly sinister decision in his heart.

Since he couldn't detect the absence of Invisible Yin Thunder on his own, he would have to use someone else's life to scout the path!

The instant he made his decision, he transmitted his plan to the Wolf Palace Demon King and the Chai Li Demon King, sharing his strategy with both and simultaneously shouted at the Underworld Cultivator, "This power is immense, I am no match for it, flee for your lives as quickly as you can!"

The two great Demon Kings, upon receiving Li Venerable's message, exchanged a look and immediately understood each other's resolution.

Being Demon Beasts, they felt no moral qualms about using others' lives to find their escape route, so they too issued the order for their Demon Beasts to flee for their lives.

The Underworld Cultivators and Demon Spirit Palace Demon Beasts, already intimidated by the presence of Beiming True Venerable and reluctant to act, when they heard the commands of Li Venerable and the Demon Kings, felt as if they were granted amnesty. Without the slightest hesitation, they controlled their Escaping Lights and scattered in all directions.

This group was very crafty, clearly understanding that scattering was their only chance of survival.

Even if Beiming True Venerable was strong, after all, he was only one person. How could he intercept all of them?
