The wounded dragon demon's furious attacks turned into a series of afterimages, but they were always blocked and intercepted by ice and fire the moment they touched Wu Song's clothes. They couldn't even touch Wu Song's clothes. When the frost blade blocked the heavy axe, it didn't explode into sparks, but into cold frost that stagnated time and space, forcing the dragon demon's counterattack speed to drop by 30%.
When the Flame Blade thrusts, what bursts into flames is not a raging inferno, but rather red cracks that run along the rust lines on the axe's surface, burning the opponent's weapon into a semi-molten iron.
As the two enchanted weapons clashed for the third time, the blade light that Wu Song created as he spun around wove a terrifying Tai Chi diagram on the dragon demon's chest, freezing its blood with ice and boiling its marrow with fire! He successfully slew one of the dragon demons.
Meanwhile, the Liangshan soldiers completed their second reload, even filling in the positions of the two dead. Ten fire lances fired simultaneously, and the third time, the dragon demon's armor was shattered and scales destroyed, blood and flesh splattered everywhere. Finally, they killed and brought him down.
The sound of that burly body falling was like heavenly music to the gunners.
Li Cunshen frowned. There were still experts.
Although his two guards were injured by those inexplicable small weapons, this little girl was able to kill one of them in an instant, which shows that she is also very strong.
But what's the use of that? You think you can slay a dragon with just two swords? You won't even get close enough to touch me.
Li Cunshen snorted coldly and used the same spell he had just used on Lu Zhisheng on Wu Song, who had just shown his face. In an instant, honey coffin, dark tentacles, witchcraft curses, deafness and blindness... Wu Song was completely overwhelmed by a series of spells! Wu Song was stunned for a moment.
What the hell are you doing? You could use this time to cast a few area-of-effect spells, which might not kill me, but would definitely cripple me.
Wu Song was unaware that Li Cunshen was making the same mistake the Shatuo people had at this moment: eager to capture talent, he wanted to capture Lu Zhisheng and Wu Song alive here so that he could use his connections to bypass the trial, adopt them as goddaughters, and restart the Thirteen Protectors plan—after all, what they really wanted to capture was Lin Chong.
Li Cunshen was unaware that Wu Song was a demon messenger, and at this moment, she was almost fully buffed.
[Demon Messenger - Heavenly Wound]: For each negative status effect, all damage is increased by 50%, stacking infinitely. For every 1% of health lost, all damage is increased by 1%, stacking infinitely.

Wu Song felt an endless surge of power, boundless rage, and utter madness coursing through his body!
Now, the only problem is that this old bastard keeps flying and refuses to come down!
Chapter 111: The Demon-Slaying Lord Assaults the Flying Sun (Bonus Chapter 2150)
"Little one, what's your name?"
Seeing that the situation was settled, Li Cunshen relaxed his vigilance somewhat, but still soared high in the sky.
"You have committed a grave offense, a very serious offense! Your comrades actually murdered the entire family of the Grand Commandant of the current dynasty in Kaifeng! This is a capital offense! It could even lead to the extermination of your entire clan!"
Li Cunshen first threatened Wu Song and Lu Zhisheng with extremely serious consequences, attempting to disrupt their minds.
"Bullshit! I'm a man who's well-fed and has no worries about his family. If you want my head, then fly down and take it yourself! Let's see whose head falls first!"
Lu Zhisheng started arguing with the old man, cursing and swearing, while Wu Song remained silent, his mind racing, searching for an opportunity to turn the tide.
"but."
Li Cunshen changed the subject, and after giving him a beating, he stuffed a candied date into his mouth.
"However, our main purpose in coming here is to capture Lin Chong! She was the mastermind behind the massacre of the Grand Commandant's mansion! As for the others, as long as you two are willing to surrender, become my adopted daughters, and help me capture Lin Chong, I can spare your lives!!!"
"You're talking nonsense! You old geezer! If you've got the guts, come down here and fight me!!!"
Lu Zhisheng started cursing, but for the time being he really had no way to do anything.
"You old lizard, if you've got the guts, come down from the sky! I'll tear your spine apart to make a staff, break your claws and teeth to make a sword, and skin you alive to make a robe!!!"
"Hey! You nun, you've got a sharp tongue."
Li Cunshen's attention was completely drawn to Lu Zhisheng, but he didn't realize that Wu Song, standing beside him, had already devised a very detailed plan in a very short time. He even dipped his finger in blood and wrote on his palm for Lu Zhisheng to see.
The two sisters nodded in tacit agreement, preparing to launch a desperate attack in this dire situation!
"Second Master! Catch!!!"
As the two were hurling insults at each other, a Liangshan soldier who had received orders threw a fire spear at Wu Song. Wu Song raised his flaming longsword, ignited the fire spear, aimed it at the blue dragon in the sky, and set the gunpowder in the barrel on fire.
"boom!!!"
The instant the gunshot ripped through the underground world, a bullet shot into the sky, heading straight for Li Cunshen.
Li Cunshen frowned slightly. This fire spear was indeed powerful, but the problem was that it was really irrelevant to him. He stretched out his hand and created a spiritual energy barrier, wanting to easily defend against it.
But at that moment, the trajectory of the bullet took on a terrifying spiraling shape. It was clearly just an ordinary bullet, yet it dragged along nine celestial dragons shaped like celestial wounds! Under Wu Song's Celestial Wound Star power, nine terrifying destructive shockwaves were simultaneously unleashed in the sky!
Wu Song's Heavenly Wound bonus can be applied to all of his attacks.
"Crack!!!"
The psionic barrier was instantly annihilated by the bullets blasted by the Heavenly Wound Demon Lord, shattering into countless fragments like glass. The moment the bullets pierced the palm, they presented an exceptionally bloody and terrifying aesthetic of carnage.
The bullet pierced through the skin and flesh of his palm in an instant, and a blood-red star map in the shape of lava bloomed along the palm lines. The forearm bones vaporized into phosphorescent fire in the high temperature of the bullet trajectory, and the skin and flesh burned into charcoal. When the bullet, carrying a spiral of destruction, broke through the elbow joint, the entire forearm shattered into thousands of pieces of flesh and blood, which floated in mid-air.
When the bullet finally burst out of the shoulder blade, it not only took away flesh and blood, but also created waterfalls of blood that filled the sky!
This was no ordinary bullet that shattered a human arm; it was a celestial meteor that obliterated the dragon's body!
The Heavenly Wound Bullet, still powerful after piercing the dragon's body, caused spiderweb-like star-like cracks to appear on the rock face. The Heavenly Wound Bullet pierced through the entire underground dome in one go and even flew to the ground!
As the local watchman glimpsed the crimson starlight gushing from the earth, the demonic power carried by the projectile had already kissed the foundation pillars of the houses. The first-floor cypress pillars were melted with holes of destruction, and the wood fibers curled up in the high temperature, forming a permanently frozen expression of pain.
The second-floor beams were instantly pierced and smashed, and the broken mortise and tenon structure crashed to the ground, shattering into ruins. When the surviving residents crawled out of the rubble, they discovered that the projectile that had been blasted from the ground had flown high into the sky, turned into a shooting star, and disappeared into the sky.
"Junior sister! Go!!!"
Despite the magical effects cast by Li Cunshen, Lu Zhisheng grabbed Wu Song's body. As his left foot slammed into the ground, eight-petaled Vajra wrathful patterns appeared on the rocky ground. The tendons in his right arm suddenly swelled to three times their normal size, causing the embroidered leather bag to tremble violently. The moment his five fingers gripped Wu Song's belt, his entire spine erupted with the thunderous sound of dragons and elephants!
With a twist of the waist, the hem of the kasaya spun out a red lotus of karmic fire, and the twisting angle of the waist and hips broke through the limits of the human body, tearing open a burning world half a foot wide in the present world.
With a sudden burst of energy, Lu Zhisheng released his right hand, and a swastika Buddhist seal erupted from his palm. Wu Song was covered in gilded Sanskrit characters, transforming into a humanoid magical weapon, and was thrown into the sky like a cannonball by Lu Zhisheng! He was instantly thrown in front of Li Cunshen!
"call--"
Wu Song's lips were turned outwards by the terrifying gale, revealing his silver teeth. His fair face trembled like waves in the wind. His twin swords of ice and fire crossed and slashed through the thunderclouds. Ice and fire sparks poured out from the cracks torn by the blades, breaking through Li Cunshen's spiritual energy shield in one strike! He was right in front of him!
Li Cunshen stared wide-eyed in disbelief. What the hell? Lu Zhisheng could already throw a 2.4-meter-tall person dozens of meters into the air with sheer strength?!
This is not a human being, but a golden Arhat in human form!
Li Cunshen's white beard suddenly stood on end, each hair emitting blue-white arcs of electricity. His aged skin began to undulate and roll, not peeling off, but covering his entire body like dragon scales growing in reverse, resembling a vast and magnificent thunderous sea.
His spine cracked and popped, piercing his back and sprouting thirty-four segments of crystal-like lightning dragon spines. The bones in his arms collided rapidly, transforming into dragon claws wreathed in plasma arcs. His jawbone dislocated and tore downwards, and seven rows of rotating thundercloud fangs grew inside his mouth.
As the dragon's wings pierced its shoulder blades, the moisture within a ten-mile radius was forcibly ionized. Li Cunshen's tattered human skin hovered in mid-air, spontaneously combusting like a shed snake's skin. Instead of sparks, miniature thunderstorm clouds erupted from the ashes. These clouds swirled around the newborn blue dragon, weaving a flowing electromagnetic armor around its body!
"Roar!!!"
The infrasound generated when the twenty-meter-long dragon descended shattered the bricks and stones on the ground into dust. A moving sandstorm was generated where the dragon's tail swept across, and every grain of sand carried a volt of static electricity. The huge dorsal fins that stretched from the neck to the tail were like a thousand swords stuck upside down on the dragon's back, continuously emitting high-frequency electromagnetic waves into the sky!
Wu Song, seeing the man before him suddenly revert to a colossal beast twenty meters tall, showed no hesitation or fear. Bathed in the dragon's almost tangible and ferocious aura, he brandished his twin blades and roared as he charged forward, like an ant charging against a blue whale.
Chapter 112: The God of Tai Sui Descends to Slaughter the World (Bonus Chapter at 2200)
"Fine! Fine! Fine! I'll show you just how vast the gap is between us!!!"
Li Cunshen roared and immediately used Thunder Dragon Breath to meet the attack. When the blue dragon raised its neck, its throat swelled into a glowing sphere, and the jagged scales on its neck rolled up layer by layer like ocean waves, revealing the 100,000-volt bio-circuit pulsating beneath its skin.
But at that moment, Li Cunshen narrowed his eyes. So close, so very close! The terrifying lightning from the dragon's kiss projected Wu Song's shadow onto the earth. The projection blended into the sand and ruins scattered across the ground. That shadow was no longer human; it was clearly a demon star lord gradually awakening!
"Roar!!!"
The moment the dragon's jaws opened, the entire cloud layer was sucked into a funnel-shaped vortex. Blue-purple plasma condensed between its fangs, forming a collapsing nova of lightning. When the first silvery-white forked lightning bolt shattered the bricks and tiles of the Tang Pagoda, all the rain within a five-mile radius was suspended as a conductor of lightning. Only then could people hear the earth-shattering roar of the thunder!
Li Cunshen's dragon breath was so vast that the thunderous lightning instantly obscured Wu Song's vision, leaving her with only a pale white expanse before her eyes.
But Wu Song was fearless. He gripped the ice blade in reverse and the fire blade upright, using Lu Zhisheng's throwing force to unleash terrifying arcs of ice and fire. Her leather cap was blown away by the gale, her hairband snapped, and her long black hair danced wildly in the wind. In that instant, her twin blades had already carved six icy trajectories and fiery afterimages, weaving together in the air to form a ferocious tiger-like killing formation!
The thunderstorm spewed out by the blue dragon was burned by the flames and frozen by the ice. Wu Song was so small that even when facing Li Cunshen's thunderous breath, he was like a small reef under a stormy sea, but he could not be blown away or crushed!
Wu Song wielded his twin swords, manipulating ice and fire, using the Nine Swords' superb parrying skills and the Scaled Armor Monk's extraordinary evasion to withstand the dragon's breath.
In the end, she even used her ice blades to freeze a temporary icy path in the air, and after enduring two seconds of the attack, she managed to escape the deadly dragon breath.
"boom!!!"
Unable to kill with his breath, Li Cunshen brandished his giant claws, trying to catch and crush the ant before him, but he was too slow.
Strength and magic are the dragons' strengths. Agility has never been their forte.
The icy blade carved spiraling blood grooves along the dragon scales on his palm. The splattered dragon blood, before it even hit the ground, was frozen into ice spikes by the extreme cold blade energy, only to explode into crimson crystalline mist as the fiery blade swept back! Wu Song soared through the sky like a fierce eagle, a terrifying demon battling against the heavens.
Although her two swords were only 1.5 meters long, each strike, amplified by the power of Heavenly Wound, left a massive wound three or four meters long, deep enough to expose bone! It was as if the Heavenly Wound Demon Lord had awakened in the darkness and was tearing apart and ravaging the mature dragon before him.
Before Li Cunshen could react, Wu Song, propelled by Lu Zhisheng's immense strength, flew to his elbow. His forearm was hacked to pieces by the two daggers, dragon scales shattered, blood splattered, flames burst forth, and ice bloomed!
At this moment, the woman flying in the sky was no ordinary human being; she was clearly a star demon lord piercing the heavens!
"Junior sister! Kill that old man Deng!!!"
"Second Master! Keep it up!!!"
The people underground cheered with joy, but Li Cunshen was astonished—who was this person? How could she, no, how could she use a short knife, such a trivial weapon that couldn't even penetrate armor, to tear open my dragon scales?!
As Wu Song used his left-hand fire blade to propel himself up by plunging it into the dragon scales, his ice blade was frantically tracing the gaps in the dragon's shoulder scales. Every time the blue dragon attempted to roll, Wu Song would grab its whiskers and perform a somersault, the swirling vortex of ice and fire that erupted as his two blades alternately plunged into the gaps in the dragon scales, brutally slicing Li Cunshen's entire arm into pieces! Like rotten meat on a chopping board.
The most gruesome moment was when she spun and sliced through the dragon's wings. With the ice blade piercing the wing bone as the axis and the fire blade wrapping around the dragon's wing tendons as the pull, she spun around seven times in the air like a winch. Li Cunshen clearly only wanted to use his wings to swat off the insects on his body, but the dragon's wings were also severely damaged!
At this moment, Wu Song, whose wounds were almost bursting, was leaping higher by stepping on the broken dragon scales. His twin swords clashed together, creating an ice and fire cross slash that precisely struck the reverse scale he had previously carved on the dragon's neck! Every wound on Li Cunshen's body was not like one made by an ordinary person, but rather torn apart by the Heavenly Gang Demon Lord!
Not only that, the dark clouds in the sky were shattered into two giant claw shapes by the blue dragon's wings, as if a chaotic demon lord had grown his own hands and held the twenty-meter-long dragon in his palm.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"
Wu Song turned gracefully, his twin blades dancing as they struck Li Cunshen. Each strike of his explosive Heavenly Wounds shattered scales, tore open flesh, and sprayed blood. The fragments of dragon scales torn apart by the ice and fire energy, along with the flying dragon blood ice crystals and burning wing membrane remnants, fell to the ground, creating a beautiful yet cruel rain of blood in the air.
When Wu Song's killing spree reached its limit, with nothing left to kill or chop, she had already stepped on Li Cunshen's neck and stood atop the dragon's head.
Li Cunshen stared in terror at the ant crawling and wriggling on his body. The tiny figure above his head was growing infinitely larger before his eyes, like a demon lord descending from heaven, truly a god of war on earth!
For a moment, he was afraid.
If the fight continues, it's really uncertain who will win or lose. Even though Wu Song's damage has been amplified to an alarming level by the power of the Heavenly Wound, to the point where he can even tear dragon scales apart, the numerous negative spells still greatly affect his performance.
However, Wu Song was not afraid of death; she was never afraid of death and always fought with the intention of dying together with her opponent.
Li Cunshen was terrified. "I've lived for two or three hundred years, and I've outlived all the Taibao and all the powerful enemies. Why should I risk my life here against an unknown ant?"
"You old scoundrel! Prepare to die!!!"
Wu Song roared and slashed at Li Cunshen's eyes with his final blow! But at that moment, instead of fighting or attacking, he used [Shadow Shift], and the entire dragon instantly disappeared into the air, tucked its tail between its legs, and teleported away, causing Wu Song to fall back to the ground, where Lu Zhisheng caught him and picked him up.
"Taibao has escaped!"
"Retreat! Retreat first!"
Seeing that their leader had fled, the dragon demons, looking at Lu Zhisheng, Wu Song, and the mortals wielding fire spears who had climbed back up, were also gripped by immense panic and hesitation, and turned tail and ran! No one had the will to fight.
Chapter 113: The First Signs of the Ruins of Daliang City
"The enemy is retreating! The enemy is retreating!"
Several Liangshan soldiers wept with joy, and even Lu Zhisheng breathed a sigh of relief, waving his crescent-shaped staff to celebrate the victory and prepare to escape.
However, at that very moment, even more footsteps echoed through the Tang Dynasty underground city, and more Kaifeng imperial guards rushed into the underground city. The sound of fifty-pound cold-forged armor scales rubbing against each other was deafening, as if iron rained down in the underground tunnels.
Each column of twenty heavily armored men was perfectly aligned, and the tremors from their iron-studded boots causing the resin torches overhead to drip amber-colored light—this was not a march, but rather a series of moving steel walls, advancing one after another!
The two thousand armor plates unique to the infantrymen undulated with each step, refracting the torchlight into a cascade of molten gold. As the first thirty spearmen and shield bearers parted to pass through the pass, the iron armor draped over their shoulders shattered the rock face, while the crossbowmen in the rear loaded their crossbows, ready to fire. The bolts, illuminated by the firelight, emitted a terrifying gleam.
"Damn it! When we were fighting the Western Xia, all these Imperial Guards were drinking tea in Kaifeng, and now that we're fighting them, they're all out in force?! Retreat! Everyone retreat!!!"
With no other option, Lu Zhisheng and Wu Song led their men back to the second basement level of Han Kaifeng County. There were too many enemies, and their own men were in dire straits, with serious injuries. It was truly impossible to fight them.
One group retreated in defeat, while Lin Chong and Liu Hong arrived with another group of soldiers to join them. The scattered people finally gathered together, but they still faced a dead end!
The legendary Prince Li Cunshen, after escaping his entanglement with Wu Song, actually returned to his command post, directing a large number of imperial guards from Kaifeng to continuously enter the Tang Dynasty underground city on the first basement level.
