Against The Heavens 159 The Moon Descends.

Li Yang's gaze drifted to his rear and up the walls that surrounded the city behind him, landing on Fang Ying. He acted as if he couldn't see the incoming army or feel the earth trembling as they charged at him, silently mouthing a few words to Fang Ying. She nodded her head in understanding, patting the resting Langshen on the head while quickly talking to him.

The wolf raised his head slightly and turned his gaze onto Li Yang, a slight fluctuation running through s.p.a.ce around him. A ripple arrived in front of Li Yang, the small violet dragon Huanglong falling out from the ripple and landing in Li Yang's hand. Li Yang swiftly stored Huanglong into his dantian along with Jinwu and Shenlong, he couldn't leave her out from an opportunity like this.

He then turned his head and finally locked his gaze onto the incoming army, which had already pushed back the frontlines of the city defenders army so much that they were only 200 meters away from him. He opened his right hand, a light flas.h.i.+ng in his palm and turning into his golden-violet sword, fire and icy mist dancing around it.

Now he wasn't fighting to investigate the Deathcloud Warriors, now he was fighting to ma.s.sacre them all so that he could steal their hearts, as such there was no longer a point in holding back. He stood still for a few more seconds, waiting for the army of Deathcloud Warriors to have gotten a bit closer.

His crimson eyes flashed with golden light the moment the army arrived within 100 meters of him, his right arm blurring as he slashed out with his sword. A golden line suddenly appeared on the bodies of every Deathcloud Warrior within a three-kilometer area in front of Li Yang, neatly splitting them all in half.

But before anyone could even wrap their minds around what just happened, blazing flames rose from the golden lines. The flames roared as they swallowed the Deathcloud Warriors and rose towards the sky, forming the image of a large golden crow with its wings stretched out. The flames all quickly rose into the golden crow and then dissipated, a part of the black cloud vanis.h.i.+ng and only leaving behind several thousand white orbs that bobbed around as they hung in the air and were surrounded by an icy mist.

It seemed like these people actually knew how useful the hearts of the Deathcloud Warriors were, a man on the frontline clad in the three-colored Heaven Devastator sect's robes dashed forward while the others were still a bit dazed. His left hand reached for the nearest heart to s.n.a.t.c.h it away, but a golden line appeared on his wrist just as he was about to touch the orb.

His hand fell to the ground, golden flames evaporating it before it even touched the earth. The flames rapidly started to move up his arm to swallow the rest of his body but he quickly and resolutely drew forth a dagger and cut off his own left arm at the elbow, preventing the flames from spreading further. He had bent his body slightly to stretch out his left arm so he decided to kick off the ground and jump forward, opening his mouth and directly swallowing the white heart.

But Li Yang arrived at his side with the roar of thunder before the man could even form a pleased smile, his expression chilly as his right arm flashed. He slammed his elbow into the spine of the man and smashed him into the ground, blood spurting from his mouth. He ignored the once-again incoming army and flipped the man onto his back with the tip of his foot, his gaze not carrying a shred of mercy.

"No one gets to eat anything that is mine, spit it out."

Li Yang raised his leg and stomped down on the man's stomach, resulting in him spewing out a small torrent of blood. The white heart of the Deathcloud Warrior was also spat out, not having even stayed within the man's throat long enough to disperse into energy. Crimson flames surrounded the heart and burned away the man's blood and saliva, a new layer of icy mist surrounding it shortly after. The man spat out what seemed like a flood of blood, struggling to squeeze out words all the while.

"You... Do... Do you kn...Know who I am?"

The man moved his remaining right arm, bringing it up to his chest to point at the emblem of his sect. The image was a bit different than the other robes he had seen so far, the cloud and sun weren't torn in two but rather in three. It seemed to signify some status, but Li Yang was the last person to ever care about something like that, sneering at the man.

"If I knew about every ant that wanted to pretend that they were a big shot then my head would have long exploded, of course I don't know who someone as weak as you are."

Li Yang's foot moved after he finished talking, kicking the man's waist and launching him back to the army that was now a short distance away from them. A few of the people there were greedily eyeing the white hearts, but none dared to move as long as Li Yang was there, they had personally seen his strength just now.

Li Yang slashed out with his sword once more, a deep cut appearing in the earth in front of the army, drawing a long line smoldering with flames. Li Yang swept a cold glance over everyone in front of him, his sword still burning with crimson flames as he clearly enunciated each and every one of his words.

"Anyone who steps past this line dies. Anyone who tries to nab a heart dies."

Simple and direct, stay back and don't interfere, otherwise, you will die. Li Yang turned around after giving them their final warning, the icy mist around the white hearts starting to move and drag the hearts over to Li Yang, who quickly sent them into his dantian. His gaze locked onto the incoming army, his left hand stretching out and opening, his palm cupping as it faced the sky.

The temperature of the entire area suddenly dropped as even the Qi within the area started to freeze and fall to the ground like frozen rain. An icy moon appeared in the sky above the battlefield, a faint glimmer of gold hidden away within the center of the moon and causing it to resemble a dying star on the verge of fading. But the sheer coldness that the moon radiated was enough to allow everyone to realize that this was a star that was far from fading.

"Descend."

Li Yang flipped his outstretched hand around and gently lowered his hand, the moon sinking down to the earth as his hand moved. The moon landed directly on the incoming army of Deathcloud Warriors, an incandescent golden light bursting forth the moment the moon descended.

Golden flames blazed forth from the center of the moon and formed a nearly six-kilometer tall and four-kilometers thick chrysanthemum flower that swallowed everything around it. But a layer of ice actually started to surround this burning flower, creating a blue chrysanthemum with a golden center that sealed the fates of thousands of Deathcloud Warriors, sealing them in a burning tomb.

One of the white hearts he had picked up earlier was directly absorbed into Li Yang's body, the potent laws of life replenis.h.i.+ng the energy he had lost due to his two wide-scale attacks. His gaze then drifted to the back of the black cloud, which was starting to bustle with activity as the cloud seemed to condense into multiple humanoid shapes that were incredibly solid and clear, a soft mutter escaping Li Yang's lips as his mouth curled up.

"There you are. Come, come, you should contain a bit more lifeforce, no?"
