Chapter 229 The Fall
The Demon Master Leng Feng stood in mid-air, looking down at everything below. Upon seeing this giant of the demonic path appear, even the sect leaders of the eight sects bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, Demon Master!"
Compared to Marquis Shenwei Su Lie, it was obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that the Demon Master was in much better condition at the moment. He waved his hand casually: "No need for formalities. You are all pillars of my Eight Paths. From now on, you don't need to be so reserved in front of me."
As he spoke, he looked at Marquis Shenwei below and chuckled, "Lord Su, you must have already seen from our exchange just now that you are no match for me. A wise man knows when to yield, and my words still stand. As long as you are willing to serve me, from today onwards, you will be the ruler of the Southern Tang Kingdom. The power of life and death in the Southern Tang Kingdom will rest solely with you, Marquis Shenwei, and even I will not interfere!"
For the Demon Master, his ambition was to unify the land and achieve unparalleled demonic glory. For such an ambitious person, a supreme master of the Celestial Realm was far more valuable alive than dead.
Su Lie chuckled lightly: "To associate with a demon like you, even if I die, what face would I have to meet my ancestors in the Southern Tang Kingdom? What face would I have to meet the forefathers of the Su family?"
Marquis Shenwei, Su Lie, was ennobled for his military achievements; his ancestors had been nobles of the Southern Tang Dynasty for generations. Even in death, he would never betray the state.
"Then today, I will have no choice but to personally send the old Marquis on his way!" The Demon Master shook his head with regret: "Such cultivation, completely wasted in one day, what a pity, what a pity!"
"You heretic demon, even if I die today, I will not let you get away with this!" Su Lie roared, "If you dare to act so arrogantly in my Southern Tang capital, I will take you down with me today!"
After saying that, Su Lie suddenly threw a punch at the Demon Master in mid-air.
As soon as Su Lie threw the punch, seven sounds rang out in the void.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
With each sound, a vortex-like crack appeared in mid-air.
"Seven Roars of the Angry Lion, Shaking Heaven and Earth?" Even the Demon Master Leng Feng couldn't help but change his expression: "Old man, are you really going to fight me to the death?"
Su Lie was nicknamed "The Angry Lion," and among his famous martial arts techniques, the most powerful was the "Seven Roars of the Angry Lion."
Each of those seven fissures in the void possessed the power to shatter a mountain ten thousand feet tall. Even a master like a demon master had to treat this attack with utmost caution.
The demon master let out a soft hum, his figure shifted, and he directly revealed his celestial golden body.
His golden statue was dressed in a black robe, holding a token that was half black and half white, and wearing a pointed hat with the two large characters "Life and Death" written on it.
The demon master revealed his towering golden body, and with a wave of the token in his hand, countless white bones appeared behind him, resembling a scene from purgatory.
The scene was both real and illusory, like a painting that covered the entire sky.
The demon master's body was completely integrated into this world of bones and inferno, as if he had entered another world.
The seven vortexes of the Seven Roars of the Angry Lion exploded within the scroll of that world of white bones. The scroll-like world shook violently, and the countless white bones were blasted into pieces.
The demon lord's golden body groaned, and with another wave of the token in his hand, the hellish scene vanished instantly. The demon lord's golden body also gradually disappeared, revealing his true form.
The Demon Master's face turned pale, as if he had suffered a serious injury. He glared at the Divine Might Marquis Su Lie standing on the ground: "Old man, you're clearly at your last gasp. You still want to take me down with you? Do you have the ability?"
Su Lie did not answer, standing motionless like an iron tower, looking up at the sky.
"Ha, ha, ha! Old man!" The Demon Master stared at the figure of the Divine Might Marquis for a long while, then suddenly burst into laughter: "No wonder you were already at your last gasp, yet you could still unleash such a powerful attack. It turns out you've already merged your life essence into it! Old man, are there still such fools as you in this world?"
"Lord Marquis!" Upon hearing the Demon Master's words, everyone, including Emperor Li Yu of Tang and Su Wuming, rushed towards Marquis Shenwei.
Marquis Shenwei remained standing upright, like an iron tower, seemingly invincible. However, upon closer inspection, everyone could see that Marquis Shenwei was completely lifeless.
It turns out that Marquis Shenwei had completely poured his last bit of life force into that attack, attempting to perish together with the Demon Master.
In the previous encounter, Marquis Shenwei had already suffered considerable injuries at the hands of the Demon Master. Given Marquis Shenwei's previous condition, he would have been completely unable to harm the Demon Master in the slightest using normal methods.
That's why he made a desperate move, pouring his last bit of life force into the final "Seven Roars of the Furious Lion".
The vitality of a Celestial Realm expert is terrifying. Even when the Demon Master manifested his golden body and used methods unimaginable to ordinary people, he was still injured by Shenwei Hou, simply because Shenwei Hou had risked his life for that final blow.
This attack was naturally bad for the Demon Master, but Marquis Shenwei himself was already at his limit, and this desperate strike caused him to lose his life.
The realm of the celestial beings is difficult to reach, but it is not necessarily immortal.
If Su Lie was determined to leave, the Demon Master could do nothing about it and could only watch him go. However, Marquis Shenwei chose to use his own life to launch this desperate attack against the Demon Master, attempting to perish together with him.
This action earned the utmost respect from all the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even the prime minister Wang You and other civil officials, who had previously been at odds with Marquis Shenwei, now held the old marquis in the highest esteem.
Emperor Li Yu of Tang, tears streaming down his face, directly instructed his ministers: "Pass down my decree. Marquis Shenwei, Su Lie, was loyal and devoted to the country, serving with utmost dedication. He was truly a pillar of the nation. He shall be buried with the honors due to a monarch and enshrined in the imperial ancestral temple. As long as the Southern Tang Dynasty survives, Marquis Shenwei will be worshipped by the imperial family for generations to come!"
He firmly grasped the increasingly cold hand of the Marquis of Shenwei and said, word by word, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will not allow these evil forces to continue to run rampant in my capital!"
As he spoke, Emperor Li Yu of Tang raised his head to face the sorcerer Leng Feng, who stood in mid-air.
