"Remember the permanent link!"
Li Xiaonan clapped his hands and said, "Alright! With these two sets of Golden Armor, your lives are definitely safe! Now, you all go according to plan and find Makasi!"
"Boss, aren't you coming with us?" Taurus asked, touching his chest.
Li Xiaonan waved his hand and replied, "I'll work on making ten more sets of Golden Armor! Don't worry, with Jack and Ouyang Crazy backing you up, you won't lose. Just focus on protecting your own lives!"
"We won't let you down, Boss!" the two responded.
Li Xiaonan nodded and then entered seclusion.
He quickly crafted four sets of Golden Armor but suddenly realized that his Magic Essence was running low.
With no other choice, he had to stop his work and attempt to cultivate Spiritual Energy.
As time ticked by, after about five minutes, Li Xiaonan suddenly opened his eyes and cursed, "Damn it! Why is the Spiritual Energy here even thinner than in the Underworld?"
Feeling a bit irritated, he scratched his head. He had already exhausted all his elixirs and Celestial Stones, and he had given the remaining spirit stones to the Demon Emperor. Now he was left with only a few hundred spirit stones—he was practically broke.
Although he still had some Spiritual Pills left, even if he treated them like candy, it wouldn't significantly increase his Magic Essence. Did he really have to resort to cannibalism like the demons?
No way! He absolutely couldn't get over that mental hurdle.
Li Xiaonan stepped out of the circle he had drawn, feeling a bit restless. Since he couldn't cultivate, he might as well go out and see how Aries and Taurus were faring.
The gray sky was stained a vivid red by the Blood Sun, while the streets were painted with the remnants and blood of the demon race, as if they were connected to the heavens above.
Thick, dark blood oozed out, emitting a foul stench. Li Xiaonan frowned slightly and unfolded his Flesh Wings, scanning the surroundings.
Occasional gusts of wind passed by, but they did not carry away the smell of blood; instead, they brought with them the scent of the dead.
"You two little brats are doomed! How dare you provoke me, Makasi! You're asking for death!"
Li Xiaonan frowned again as a chilling cackle echoed through the air.
He quickly adjusted his direction and sped off.
Looking down from above, he saw two groups of people facing off—more than thirty against just two.
Hmm? Did 200,000 fall? It seemed he had missed quite a spectacle. Perhaps it was for the best; otherwise, he would have had trouble eating for a long time.
Taurus sneered, "You don't have many left either. Who will die at whose hands is still uncertain!"
"Hmph! Scorpio, Capricorn, attack!" Makasi waved his right hand and slowly took a step back.
Scorpio and Capricorn exchanged glances, a wicked smile spreading across their faces as they rushed toward Aries and Taurus.
Makasi nodded in satisfaction, a smug look on his face as he gazed at Aries and Taurus, clearly regarding the two as mere corpses.
Aries and Taurus stepped back, their palms resting on their knees in a defensive stance.
In a flash, Capricorn and Scorpio soared into the air, landing a foot on the outstretched hand of their predecessor.
At the same time, Aries and Taurus exerted their strength, hurling Capricorn and Scorpio back. The four of them almost simultaneously appeared before Makasi's legion.
The smile on Makasi's face froze instantly as screams erupted around him. By the time he realized that Capricorn and Scorpio had betrayed him, only ten of his elite team of over thirty remained.
He glared at Scorpio and Capricorn, saying, "You will pay for your actions today!"
Makasi, unwilling to fight any longer, broke through the encirclement and fled northward, moving with a speed that even Li Xiaonan could not match.
"We won! That's great!"
"Great? This is just the beginning. Starting a business is easy; maintaining it is hard. We must cherish every step," Li Xiaonan suddenly appeared, his words falling like a bucket of cold water over everyone.
He casually tossed the Golden Armor of Capricorn and Scorpio to them.
The two immediately excitedly dripped blood to claim it as their own. They had long been envious of the Golden Cloth worn by Aries and Taurus. Not only did it look impressive, but its extraordinary defensive capabilities were also highly coveted.
"Alright, Eastern Land has been successfully taken. Next, it's up to you to win people's hearts and establish your own power; otherwise, one day someone will overthrow you."
Aries furrowed his brow and stared intently at Li Xiaonan for a moment, then thought to himself, "Boss, you don't look so good. Are you alright?"
The Magic Essence was nearly depleted, and there was nothing to replenish it. What do you think—am I alright?
Li Xiaonan waved his hand dismissively and said, "I'm fine; you all need to act quickly!"
As the sun rose and set, two months slipped by. Li Xiaonan had consumed the last of his Spiritual Pill and barely managed to forge two sets of Golden Armor.
The consequences of this were clear: he had once again pushed himself too far.
He lay weakly on the tattered sofa in his old hideout, idly plucking at the exposed spring while his mind was consumed with thoughts of how to absorb Spiritual Energy.
"Ugh..." The mournful sound of a horn warned of impending danger. Li Xiaonan suddenly sprang up from the sofa as Taurus burst in.
"Boss! A large troop is coming towards us from the north!"
"The north? Could it be the Northern Emperor? Little Jin, quickly notify both the Chinese and Western factions!" At the same time, he darted toward the Eastern Land North City Wall.
Below the city tower lay a dark mass; the dense crowd of the Demon Army seemed to merge with the gray sky in a single line.
Just looking at it sent shivers down one's spine.
"Boss! It's bad! Ouyang and Jack responded that we need to hold out for a month!"
Li Xiaonan had yet to make a move when Aries exploded in anger, slamming a claw against the city wall. "Damn it! Are they messing with us? At this rate, we won't last a week!"
"What should we do, Boss?" Taurus asked, while the other three turned their gazes toward Li Xiaonan.
"What can we do? We hold our ground!"
"Boss, should we notify Maiden? That way, our chances might improve!" Capricorn suggested.
Li Xiaonan shook his head. "It's not time yet. What about the Divine Dragon Cannon Jack provided? Aim it at them; if they dare to make a move, we'll hit them hard!"
With that, he stepped aside and took out Jack's puppet body, using a silver needle to engrave a message: Hurry to support Eastern Land!
A rumble echoed as a silver lightning bolt streaked across the gray sky, and below the city wall, the Demon Army began to advance.
"Attack!" Aries commanded. The Divine Dragon Cannon roared as a burst of golden light shot out, sending the corpses of the Demon Army flying. However, this did not slow their march.
Li Xiaonan crossed his arms, his expression growing colder.
He picked up the puppet skeleton and let out a cold snort, forcefully disassembling the joints of its left hand one by one.
"Boss! The city gate is about to break! The difference in power between us and them is too great!" Taurus shouted, wiping sweat from his brow.
"Grandsons upstairs, listen up! Come down and bow to your grandfather. If you're good, I might spare your lives!" A demon with Fourteen Wings shouted through a megaphone from below the city wall.
Li Xiaonan glanced back at the four behind him and slowly detached the entire left arm of the puppet in his hand. "I'll go take a look. You all guard the door."
"No way, boss, it's too dangerous! I'm coming with you!" Aries insisted, stepping forward.
"Stop talking nonsense! We just need to hold out until Jack arrives to support us! He'll be here soon!" Li Xiaonan's expression turned cold as he leaped down.
Li Xiaonan's claws struck fiercely at the city gate, sending limbs flying in all directions, but the instigator couldn't help but frown.
Fortunately, his stomach was empty; otherwise, he would have surely vomited something.
Makasi and Northern Emperor, riding on a skeletal zombie horse, were somewhat startled and took two steps back, giving Li Xiaonan a bit of space to land.
"You two brothers are quite enthusiastic! You've brought so many people for a visit!" As soon as Li Xiaonan landed, a trademark silly grin appeared on his face.
"The Eastern Land was originally mine for the taking. You have quite the skill to hide it so deeply! Who exactly are you?" Makasi's gaze was icy as he scanned Li Xiaonan back and forth.
"I'm Nan Muzi, just an ordinary demon, a young lad trying to make a living in this chaotic world. But you, Lord Makasi, have such great skills! I'm truly impressed!"
As Li Xiaonan spoke, he took the opportunity to observe Northern Emperor beside Makasi.
After a hundred years apart, this demon had hardly changed at all.
The Northern Emperor was also observing Li Xiaonan. He snorted coldly and said, "Indeed, the Demon Realm has produced many interesting newcomers, but a tree that stands out will inevitably be blown down by the wind!"
He slapped the Skeleton Horse beneath him and leaped towards Li Xiaonan, striking with a palm.
Li Xiaonan's expression turned cold; behind him was the city gate, leaving him with no retreat. He could only brace himself and meet the attack head-on.
With that strike, Li Xiaonan was forced back several steps, crashing directly into the city gate, his originally fair complexion turning pale as paper.
Damn it! If I were at my peak, would I really be like a soft-shell shrimp with no power to fight back?
Lightning streaked across the sky, casting a heavy atmosphere, while cold raindrops slowly fell, hitting everyone's faces.
Li Xiaonan licked his dry lips but did not move. He was waiting—for Jack's reinforcements.
The Northern Emperor had no need to wait, so he moved again, sneering as he unleashed two more palm strikes.
Li Xiaonan still did not dodge; to be precise, he could not dodge.
Behind him was the city gate. Once it was breached, there would be no waiting for reinforcements—he would have to flee immediately!
With each counterattack, the Magic Essence in his Dantian diminished.
The burning pain in his chest felt like Ultraman's flashing warning light constantly reminding Li Xiaonan—energy is running low.
The raindrops grew heavier, landing on his long, curled eyelashes, eventually forming two small fountains that splashed down.
Was this about to turn into a melodramatic soap opera? Was he the tragic male lead?
Damn it, where was Jack? Without the support of True Essence, the Heavenly Gang Golden Body couldn't hold out for long.
"Boss, we're here to help you!"
"Get back!" Li Xiaonan shouted, stopping Aries and the others who were about to jump down from the city wall.
If he couldn't hold on any longer, at least there were four of them to buy some time. If they all stood in front of the city gate, they would become perfect targets.
Li Xiaonan took a deep breath, constantly reminding himself that he just needed to hold on a little longer!
The rain continued to pour down relentlessly, and the attacks from the Northern Emperor were even more intense than the raindrops.
Li Xiaonan gritted his teeth, the fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth was quickly washed away by the rain.
He felt darkness closing in before his eyes, his body growing cold; if this continued, he wouldn't just be injured—he might not survive at all.
"Stop!" Makasi leaped down from the Skeleton Warhorse.
As Li Xiaonan finally caught his breath, a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes.
What is happening? It was already unbelievable that Makasi had been beaten and sought help from the Northern Emperor.
And now he actually... he actually gave orders to the Northern Emperor!
Who on earth is this guy?
Li Xiaonan carefully analyzed all the information, and only one person flashed through his mind!
The East Emperor!
Makasi sneered as he slowly raised his hand, a swirl of silver light gradually gathering in his palm.
Oh no! You told the Northern Emperor to stop, only to take action yourself!
Li Xiaonan leaned against the city gate, forming hand seals. It seemed he could only resort to the Seven-Level Pagoda now.
The dark sky grew even deeper, and Li Xiaonan couldn't help but look up. The bright red blood moon was gradually being covered by a mass of darkness, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
Reinforcements have finally arrived!
