Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 5: Chapter 116: Li Shenji’s Death

Li Shenji showed a ferocious expression as he charged at Gu Hai.

Since he established the Divine Strategy Battalion, he had never felt so vexed.

The Divine Strategy Battalion dealt with its opponents from long range, whether using his divine arrows or the Divine Strategy Ritual Array’s divine arrows. It had always been him shooting down his opponents. Over the years, the Divine Strategy Battalion had shot down several factions—even factions several times stronger than the Divine Strategy Battalion—with a rain of arrows.

Now, things had turned around. The other side’s long-range attacks were even stronger than the Divine Strategy Battalion’s.

There was a long-range battalion stronger than the Divine Strategy Battalion in the world?

Of all people, it was Gu Hai, whom he had looked down on in the past.

When Li Shenji planned to kill Gu Hai, he had never thought much of Gu Hai. However, it was Gu Hai who set up this Heaven Blasting Battalion, which was more incredible than his Divine Strategy Battalion.

How could Li Shenji not panic when he saw the Heaven Blasting Battalion wiping out the Divine Strategy Battalion he had worked so hard to nurture?

He needed to kill Gu Hai as soon as possible and destroy those Heaven Blasting Cannons.

“No. Only Gu Hai needs to die. The Heaven Blasting Cannons are mine!” Li Shenji showed a ferocious expression, instantly arriving near Gu Hai from afar.

At close range, the bow was no longer that useful. A sword appeared in Li Shenji’s hand, and he swung it at Gu Hai.

This time, Li Shenji did not test out Gu Hai. He did not want to test him out. The most important thing now was to kill Gu Hai in one sword strike.

Shing!

A colossal golden manifested sword appeared in the air. Li Shenji had used his full power.

There was no testing or wasting time. As long as Gu Hai died.

Gu Hai did not avoid him. Instead, he clashed head-on.

With a ferocious expression, Gu Hai swung down the Life Executioner Saber in his hand.

“Humph! Gu Hai, you are seeking death. Do you think I am trash like those from the Supreme Ascendant Dao? I won’t give you a chance. Your Fourth Cycle is not even worth a strike. Die!” Li Shenji said with a ferocious expression.

Boom!

When the golden manifested sword swung down, a storm of golden sword qi covered the place. The intense pressure shocked the Elite Hall disciples.

“Your Majesty, be careful!” Mu Chenfeng cried out as his expression changed.

The Fourth Cycle?

How could Gu Hai underestimate Li Shenji? How could he be using the Fourth Cycle?

A dazzling purple light burst out as the Life Executioner Saber swung down.

“Cycle Saber Technique…”

Saber qi surged out, forming a vast saber qi domain. The powerful saber aura looked like a heavenly river crashing down, gathering on the manifested saber. The Life Executioner Saber clashed head-on with Li Shenji’s sword.

“To think that you really dare to clash head-on with me! You are seeking death!” Li Shenji shouted with a ferocious expression.

However, when the sword entered the saber qi domain, Li Shenji’s expression immediately changed. “It’s not right. It’s not the Fourth Cycle!”

“Fifth Cycle!” Gu Hai shouted ferociously.

As Gu Hai swung the Life Executioner Saber, the sky turned purple. The intense light was so piercing that it blinded everyone. A horrifyingly murderous intent shattered all of Li Shenji’s sword conception.

Li Shenji did not even have time to pull his sword back. The saber and the sword clashed.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out.

The intense light prevented everyone from seeing. However, be it the Elite Hall disciples or the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples, they all stared at the center of the intense, dazzling light.

Buzz!

After the flash, the dazzling light quickly receded. Everyone could see clearly now.

They saw Gu Hai standing in place. After he swung his saber down, veins bulged all over his body, and his long hair was a mess. He looked like a demonic god descending on the world, radiating ferocity.

However, Li Shenji’s golden sword had shattered. His clothes were in tatters as he went flying back.

Li Shenji’s chest burst open, and blood sprayed out. He spewed out mouthfuls of blood, with despair in his eyes.

“What?” Everyone’s expression changed.

Li Shenji lost?

“No!” Blargh! Li Shenji spewed out a mouthful of blood as he hurtled back.

“Why are you just staring? Kill!” Gu Hai shouted while glaring.

“Yes!” Mu Chenfeng’s expression changed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heaven Blasting Cannons fired another meteor-shower-like barrage, bombarding the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples.

“Argh!”

“Argh!”

“Argh!”

The Divine Strategy Battalion disciples screamed as they got blasted to pieces. Flee? There was no way to flee.

Each Heaven Blasting Lightning could blast apart a Middle Heavenly Palace Realm expert. What more the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples, most of whom were in the Nascent Soul Realm?

The massive explosions eradicated nearly all the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples, exploding them.

“No. Gu Hai…!” the weakened Li Shenji roared with a ferocious expression.

The Divine Strategy Battalion that I nurtured with so much effort got completely wiped out?

Whoosh!

Gu Hai arrived before Li Shenji in an instant.

Before Li Shenji landed, Gu Hai swung his saber again.

“Li Shenji, you overestimate yourself!” Gu Hai showed murderous intent on his face as he swung his saber.

Defeated?

I suffered a complete defeat? After all the plots, all the power, and all the killing, I am not comparable to Gu Hai?

Initially, I had no grudge against Gu Hai. However, I made it such that there is no return? Why? Because of Li Haoran?

If I could try again, would I still chase after Gu Hai so relentlessly?

Yes. I would go after Gu Hai relentlessly.

“Gu Hai! Hahaha! You can’t kill me! I will return! You might have destroyed my Divine Strategy Battalion today, but I will destroy your Han Royal Dynasty in the future. I will kill everyone by your side, torture all of them to death! Hahahaha!” Li Shenji laughed with a vicious expression.

“Will you still have an opportunity?” Gu Hai scowled ferociously, already swinging down the Life Executioner Saber.

“Just you wait! Just you wait! Explode!” Li Shenji roared with a savage expression.

Boom!

Li Shenji self-detonated.

“Huh?”

Gu Hai’s face sank as he protected himself with his saber, blocking the force from Li Shenji exploding.

Boom!

Gu Hai retreated.

Li Shenji had exploded into countless pieces.

“Battalion Commander!” the surviving Divine Strategy Battalion disciples screamed in horror.

The Battalion Commander died?

“That is really ruthless. He committed suicide?” Ensnaring Performance said in shock.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes. “Shattered Body Evasion? Hah! Li Shenji, did you think we have not investigated you over the years?”

Gu Hai suppressed the ruthlessness in his eyes. Then, he returned the Life Executioner Saber to his back. Gazing at the Divine Strategy Battalion, he ordered coldly, “Kill!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heaven Blasting Cannons immediately wiped out the remaining Divine Strategy Battalion disciples.

——

At a place encased in blessings by the seaside on the border of the Qian Nation:

A lower-tier sect hunkered beneath the blessings, and there was a pagoda in the sect.

The pagoda gave off white light.

Whoosh!

A beam of golden light shot towards the pagoda from the horizon.

“Gu Hai, you did not expect me to have a secret technique that would send my spiritual souls back, right? Wait until I reconstruct my physical body. I will kill all the people around you. All of them! Hah!” Li Shenji’s furious roar came from the golden beam of light.

Whoosh!

The golden beam arrived above the pagoda, poised to enter it.

Just at this moment, a large black hand appeared beside the pagoda.

Bang!

That large hand extended and caught that beam of golden light.

“What?” Li Shenji’s horrified voice came from the golden light.

The shape of the golden light appeared like Li Shenji. That light was Li Shenji’s spiritual souls. However, that black hand firmly grasped it.

“What’s going on? Who is it? Who is it? Where are the people? Where are the people?” Li Shenji’s golden spiritual souls exclaimed.

Li Shenji’s spiritual souls turned and saw a black-robed man holding them.

“The people? Haha! No one in the Divine Strategy Sect can save you anymore!” the black-robed person said with a cold smile.

Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech!

Suddenly, countless bats rushed out from behind the black-robed person. When the bats appeared, they completely covered the surroundings of the Divine Strategy Sect.

“Bats? A vampire! You are a vampire?! Chang Ming! You are Chang Ming!” Li Shenji’s spiritual souls exclaimed.

“Sect Master, save me!”

“Milord, save me!”

“Master! Master! We are here!”

Cries for help rang out just then. The other people of the Divine Strategy Sect had been bound, held at a plaza.

Many crimson-robed figures with bats flying around them were in the plaza. Clearly, they were vampires as well.

“His Majesty went through a lot of information and found something interesting. You had once been killed but got revived at the Divine Strategy Sect. His Majesty guessed that you might have a life-saving measure, so he got me to wait here. Hah! Li Shenji, everything went as His Majesty expected, indeed!” the black-robed Chang Ming said coldly.

“His Majesty? Could it be? You…you submitted to Gu Hai? Gu Hai got you to wait at my Divine Strategy Sect?” Li Shenji’s spiritual souls cried out.

“So what if you realized?” Chang Ming said coldly.

Chang Ming pulled his hand back, bringing Li Shenji’s spiritual souls to his mouth as if he wanted to consume Li Shenji’s spiritual souls.

“No! No!” Li Shenji’s spiritual souls exclaimed.

However, how could Chang Ming bother with him?

Li Shenji looked at Chang Ming’s mouth in despair. He knew that there was no escaping this calamity.

“Hah! Hahaha! Gu Hai! Gu Hai, you are truly ruthless!” Li Shenji showed despair on his face.

“Wait! Chang Ming, I can give you all the treasures I obtained in my life! Wait!” Li Shenji yelled.

“Oh?” Chang Ming paused.

“As long as you let the people of my Divine Strategy Sect go, I will hand all my treasures to you!” Li Shenji said anxiously.

“Hah! His Majesty did not tell me to kill the other people of your Divine Strategy Sect. However, as the envoy commander of the Han Royal Dynasty’s Blood Uniform Guard, I naturally have to help His Majesty shoulder some burdens, clear out the filth. How can I not deal with the roots when removing the grass?” Chang Ming said indifferently.

“Kill!” Chang Ming shouted coldly.

Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech!

In the plaza, the many bats flying around the Blood Uniform Guards rushed at the Divine Strategy Sect disciples. As the Divine Strategy Sect disciples cried out miserably, the bats drained their blood.

“No! Chang Ming! You will die a horrible death!” Li Shenji howled.

“I am destined for hell in the first place. Your threat is useless against me. As for your treasures? I’ll search for them myself!” Chang Ming said coldly.

As Chang Ming spoke, he opened his mouth wide and stuffed Li Shenji’s spiritual souls into his mouth before swallowing them.

“No!”

Only one final miserable cry remained of Li Shenji. No other voice could be heard.

Heavy rain poured two hours later.

Chang Ming silently left the ruined Divine Strategy Sect with a group of crimson-robed Blood Uniform Guards.
