It still maintains an extreme scene in the distance where no life can survive.

But under the incredulous gaze of the crowd, a figure slowly emerged from the smoke of battle.

Although the man was covered in blood and looked as disheveled as a beggar, he still exerted tremendous psychological pressure on the people in the distance.

Liu Xiaojiang... no, it should be said that humanity's calamity, Ying Gou, has not yet been truly eliminated!

However, seeing Liu Xiaojiang's disheveled appearance and sensing his renewed weakening of Qi, the crowd once again fell into despair, but a subtle change also occurred.

because,

Almost everyone present could sense in various ways that Ying Gou was no longer the mysterious and unattainable figure he once was.

Even though Ying Gou still gives the impression of being more than he seems, he has truly fallen from his lofty position to the mortal world. In fact, some might even think that if they worked as hard as before, they might be able to reach his current level.

Because they sensed this possibility in Liu Xiaojiang, everyone present quickly cheered up.

After all, they had come to realize that the previous sacrifices had not been in vain. The opportunity created by taking so many lives... and even by using the hope of Elder An, had clearly caused irreparable damage to Ying Gou.

We can win... No matter how devastating the final victory may be, or how many people have lost in this war, as long as we win... our compatriots outside will still have a future!

If hope is shattered, then turn around and create new hope!

As long as people can remember everything they have experienced today, and as long as people can inherit everything that Mr. An insisted on, hope... will not truly be extinguished, and the future will get back on track!

On the other side...

Liu Xiaojiang, emerging from the smoke of battle in a 'severely injured' state, clearly had no time to care about what the group of people in the distance were thinking. Instead, he looked at the location where Elder An was with a hint of lingering fear in his eyes.

After confirming that Elder An was dead and Feng Zhenghao had also passed away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it...

I almost went down the wrong path. If I hadn't been careful beforehand and sensed Elder An's Qi before I went down the wrong path, Feng Zhenghao might have ruined the whole plan and prevented it from achieving its best effect.

As for Feng Zhenghao's actions of representing the Feng family and expressing loyalty in front of others...

Liu Xiaojiang himself did not intend to blame anyone. After all, given Feng Zhenghao's position, there was nothing wrong with him trying his best to save Elder An.

Feng Zhenghao was only thinking of the Feng family, trying to pave the way for the Feng family's future with his own life, without thinking it would affect anything.

The only mistake was being too hasty, which prevented him from realizing that Liu Xiaojiang was already planning to back down. And if we really have to nitpick, we can only blame Liu Xiaojiang himself for not explaining the whole truth to Feng Zhenghao from the beginning.

in this way……

Feng Zhenghao, who can only guess at everything, is eager for the Feng family to find an opportunity to show their loyalty. If he can also grasp Liu Xiaojiang's mentality at all times and accurately guess what Liu Xiaojiang wants to do at every time period, it would be too much to imagine an ordinary human being as a god.

After all, even someone with Liu Xiaojiang's cultivation level would need to rely on his near-invincible power and an almost perfect assistant like Elder An to barely manage to do everything perfectly.

Feng Zhenghao is just a nobody. He has neither sufficient power nor a reliable helper, and his grasp of information about the events is far from adequate. How could he possibly do everything perfectly?

With Liu Xiaojiang's help, he was able to fully demonstrate the reliability of the Feng family in front of everyone, even at the cost of causing some trouble for Liu Xiaojiang and Elder An. This already highlighted Feng Zhenghao's abilities.

The reason Liu Xiaojiang dealt with Feng Zhenghao and Elder An together was naturally to give him that final push and save the Feng family from their previous predicament.

Otherwise, once everything calms down, who knows if some idle people will still scrutinize the unusual behavior of the Feng family father and sons today.

Liu Xiaojiang made his move...

This turned the 'restraint' of the Feng family father and his two sons into a situation where they didn't have time to open their hearts.

In this way... as long as the three of them continue to maintain their "shameless" personas, over time no one will care about that strange situation from earlier.

After all, even the most shameful person wouldn't be so 'inhuman' in the face of life and death. They could only stand by and watch their father, who was about to die, save them. But because of Ying Gou, the three members of the Feng family could only be said to have not had time to show their humanity at this moment.

In any case, that unusual situation didn't last long. In front of her father, who was clearly not going to die anytime soon, it was understandable that she was a little reserved at the beginning. At least it was more normal than being indifferent from beginning to end.

And then...

In order to make the behavior of the three members of the Feng family appear more normal.

Liu Xiaojiang clearly wouldn't place his hopes on the Feng siblings.

He didn't believe that the two people who didn't know how to cooperate in the previous situation would now cooperate with the situation and show a strong desire to avenge their father, even though they knew he was helping to get out of trouble.

then,

As the Feng siblings stared at their father's corpse on the ground, instinctively displaying reasonable grief, he laboriously extended his finger in their direction, manipulating the black blade that had pinned Feng Zhenghao's body to the ground to fly up instantly, piercing through their chests almost simultaneously.

In their grief and rage, the Feng siblings didn't even have time to avenge their father before they died at the hands of Ying Gou, a monster who was already at his last gasp...

Well, considering why Ying Gou was severely injured, the drama unfolding on both sides at this moment is quite reasonable.

After all, Ying Gou was distracted by dealing with Elder An and the World Society, which allowed others to seize the opportunity to fight back and severely injure him. It's only natural that he would want to vent his anger on the 'culprit' who caused all this before he dies.

But I must say...

Regardless of what he really thinks, he's finally gotten to this point, and he could have easily taken the easy way out, but now the Feng family is going to continue playing along with the charade. Liu Xiaojiang has almost been driven crazy by the Feng family.

As for whether he intended to vent his anger on the father and his two sons while helping the Feng family out of their predicament, only Liu Xiaojiang himself will know for sure in the future.

Watching the Feng siblings fall to the ground,

Liu Xiaojiang moved his fingers to recall his black blade, then gripped it in his hand and plunged it into the ground. He then leaned on the hilt and looked up at the crowd in the distance.

"Unbelievable..."

"You humans actually kept a backup plan all along, and you were so arrogant that you underestimated me, which led to this awkward situation... I was indeed underestimating you."

"However, don't think that you can easily defeat me. Even though the defeat is already decided... I can still use my remaining strength to take as many of you as possible down to hell with me."

The voice just fell,

"Ying Gou! You are at your last gasp! I will avenge our elders now!" Immediately, someone who didn't believe in evil jumped out, as if he had been prepared and wanted to risk it to steal the credit. He used his movement technique to leap high in front of Liu Xiaojiang.

Moreover, while speaking,

The monk who jumped over, seemingly to steal credit or perhaps to avenge Master Jiekong, also gathered extremely strong Qi in his palm before landing. The next second, an enormous palm print roared towards Liu Xiaojiang.

"The Great Compassion Palm..."

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Xiaojiang looked up at the approaching golden giant hand. Although he appeared to be at his last gasp, he didn't even glance at the monk with impure motives.

He immediately drew his black blade, which he had just plunged into the ground, and swung it at the palm print that was hurtling towards him.

A black Qi blade, far smaller and less powerful than the previous one, shot out, but it still easily shattered the enormous golden palm print and flew towards the monk who was unable to move nimbly in the air.

The black blade struck the monk who was practicing the external martial arts technique with a soft thud. Although it was no longer as indestructible as it had been not long ago, and it did not directly cut the monk who was practicing the external martial arts technique in half, it still easily broke through the external martial arts technique and embedded itself in the monk's fragile body.

When the monk fell to the ground injured in the air, the fresh blood that kept seeping from his body was enough to show that even if Ying Gou was really at his last gasp, he was still not a problem that any ordinary human could solve.

"To have mastered the Great Compassion Palm to this extent, one must be considered an outstanding disciple among Buddhists. But unfortunately, one's cultivation level is insufficient. Pure power is still meaningless in front of me."

finished,

Liu Xiaojiang ignored the monk on the ground whose life was rapidly slipping away, and instead of inserting the black blade into the ground to support himself, he walked slowly toward the crowd in the distance with the blade in hand and no expression on his face.

in spite of,

Ying Gou's steps appeared extremely slow, even somewhat unsteady, clearly indicating that after the continuous and intense bombardment, even walking upright was extremely difficult.

However, no one present dared to underestimate him. Even when they saw Ying Gou walking towards them with his knife, many people felt fear in front of his somewhat staggering figure.

only……

This fear stemmed from a deep understanding of Ying Gou's power, having personally witnessed his earth-shattering strength.

But as soon as they remember that it was the sacrifices of many, including the Celestial Master and Elder An, that finally weakened the monster before them and created this opportunity, their fears... would gradually disappear with each staggering step Ying Gou took.

At last,

As the first rays of dawn gradually appeared on the distant horizon,

The fear people felt when facing Ying Gou eventually dissipated.

Then, amidst loud shouts initiated by someone unknown,

Those who still had the strength to fight also launched an attack almost simultaneously towards the last vestige of darkness that was gradually receding beneath the dawn.

Everyone's face bore an expression of fearless courage;

No one considers their own gains or losses anymore;

Everyone... also wants to be a part of the light that has triumphed over darkness.

Faced with these true heroes, not the fickle humans from the outside world, Liu Xiaojiang, though he had 'lost' his world-destroying power, perhaps out of pride as an extraordinary strongman, did not choose to easily succumb to humans on this rare opportunity.

In the distance, where the dawn's light was growing stronger, he faced humans who were unafraid of death and wanted to kill him, yet he still maintained his last ounce of strength to resist everything.

When the Qi is used up, then he will fight against humans with only the sharpness of the black blade;

Black Blade was knocked down when he was outnumbered, so he had to rely solely on his powerful fists and feet to fight against humans.

I'm exhausted from killing so many people.

He also refused to give up, forcibly maintaining his consciousness to mobilize his fists and feet, thinking that in his last moments, he could drag as many people as possible down to hell with him, so he resolutely refused to let go of anyone who showed even a hint of utilitarianism in front of him.

gradually……

Even their consciousness began to waver, gradually succumbing to the overwhelming collective will around them, a will that could no longer be weakened...

boom! ! !

A bullet fired from afar pierced Liu Xiaojiang's shoulder directly, instead of being deflected by his powerful body as before. This... seemed to instantly become the clarion call for the defeat of the monster Ying Gou!

The scene that Ying Gou, who could have resisted before, presented after the sound of the horn... was like a coward surrounded by a group of thugs. Apart from being surrounded and brutally beaten, the only thing he could do was glare angrily at the thugs.

I don't know how much time passed...

Liu Xiaojiang lay on the ground in a very disheveled state, and through the gaps in the now-still crowd, he could see the sky above, which had been completely invaded by the sunlight.

He then slowly extended his palm, as if trying to grasp it tightly, but after several difficult attempts, he found that he simply could not do it. In the end, he gave up and stopped trying so hard, so as not to waste his last bit of energy on such a meaningless thing.

"It seems I have indeed lost, lost to my own remaining rationality, and lost to the incredibly weak human race..."

"But……"

Speaking of which,

Liu Xiaojiang turned his head to look at Old Chen, who was standing in front of the crowd in the distance, and said, "Have you really won again? You disagreed with the future I proposed, and so many people died... If you continue to succumb to your animalistic instincts as before, your victory will only lead to your own destruction."

"Humans..."

"Don't think of me as some terrifying monster. After all, I never intended to completely destroy everything and make you all obediently lie at my feet like dogs. It may sound harsh, but it was indeed to save you, to save this world that was destined to be destroyed by you."

"Besides..."

"Now that I think about it carefully, my appearance as Ying Gou may not be a warning from the Heavenly Dao to you. It made me appear in this world, made me suffer rejection from you humans, and finally made me stand up to try to change everything, and in the end, made you humans win relatively tragically."
