"Let's go now!"
```
She took Li Hao and was about to fly to another location, but suddenly, three figures appeared instantaneously, blocking their way forward, and it was the three Demon Kings that had left earlier.
"It seems this secret technique takes a huge toll on oneself."
Wan Shan, the Demon King, noticed that Li Hao's condition was even more miserable than before, realizing the tremendous damage the technique did to the body. He figured it couldn't be used many more times and felt a sense of relief.
"I didn't expect that the 'next time' I mentioned would come so quickly."
Dragon Soar wore a smile, his tone tinged with mockery.
Feng Boping's expression darkened, and he transmitted his voice to Song Qiumo, "You take Hao Er and run first, I will hold them off."
"You…" Song Qiumo looked at him, her complexion slightly changing, as if she understood what he was about to do.
Li Hao's face was ugly; he could see the Demon Kings' intention to trap them, relying on the demons' tide to exhaust their strength and then finish them off.
Brutal, cunning, and desperate.
Perhaps, he could only release completely, no longer holding back, and enter the final moment of transforming into an Immortal.
That was the limit of fusing one's body with the power of heaven and earth, retaining only a sliver of consciousness, yet it was also the most powerful instant!
Maybe at that moment, his strength could surpass the three Demon Kings and win a chance of survival for Feng and the others.
At that thought, Li Hao took a deep breath. He looked at Feng, who quietly stepped forward to protect him, and slowly said,
"You all go, I'll handle this."
Feng Boping spoke solemnly, "Hao Er, you have a bright future ahead of you. Just listen to me this time."
A smile tugged at Li Hao's lips, "This was originally my own affair; I've already involved you all. This time, let's do as I say."
Speaking, he was about to release the Immortal Qi again, channeling the power of heaven and earth.
But at that moment, the ground suddenly began to shake again, growing more intense.
More demons?
The expressions of Li Hao and his companions changed slightly, but they realized the rumbling was coming from the direction of Dragon Pass Road within Qingzhou.
The expressions of the three Demon Kings shifted slightly as they turned to look.
As the ground shook, waves of battle cries also gradually approached, at first faint but growing louder and more powerful until they swept through Heavenly Gate Pass.
"Kill! Kill!!"
"Master Hao, we've arrived!!"
"Demons, move faster!!"
A group of figures on horseback charged forward, wearing various clothing from all nineteen provinces.
Above their heads flew those of the Fifteen Li Realm and masters from the Tianren Sect!
Additionally, among them were two from the Three Immortal Realms, also racing over.
However, upon seeing the three Demon Kings in front of Li Hao, the two from the Three Immortal Realms' previously angry expressions suddenly stiffened, feeling somewhat astonished and unsure whether to advance or retreat.
They had anticipated an attack by the Demon King but hadn't expected three!
The rest of the figures on horseback only saw the appearances of the three Demon Kings, unable to perceive the extent of the Demon Kings' aura due to the huge difference in their realms.
With a thunderous charge, a multitude of figures poured into the pass and galloped into the camp.
On seeing the ravaged scene within the camp, strewn with destruction, those who had rushed over were shocked, unable to imagine the carnage beyond the pass was so severe!
"Master Hao, we are here!"
Many from the Heavenly Human Realm flew in, and when they saw Li Hao's body riddled with gaping wounds, looking like a bloodied wretch, they were struck with horrified amazement.
On the Debate Platform of Dragon River, this young man had once used a single finger to suppress all grandmasters, a peerless elegance unmatched in history. Now, he was reduced to such a pitiable state.
"Could these three demons be..."
Someone managed to sense the aura of the three Demon Kings, feeling an unusually dreadful sense of fear, and a terrible thought began to surface.
Could it be that they were facing a Great Demon King, the one who had driven Li Hao to such extremities?!
"We've arrived too late."
In the crowd, Bai Chunhai stepped forward, and next to him was another great grandmaster, Lin Qingfeng.
When they had parted in Dayue City, having learned of Li Hao's slaying of the lesser Demon King of Wan Shan, they surmised that Li Hao might face Wan Shan's vengeance. Thus, they kept a close eye on the young man to whom they owed a life-saving favor.
At the same time, they also gathered details from various sources about the battle in Qingzhou City, as well as Li Hao's commitment to defending Heavenly Gate Pass.
As a result, many headed over, joining forces in Liangzhou, hoping to offer their support at Heavenly Gate Pass.
In doing so, it would serve the country, defend the frontier pass, and repay Li Hao for saving their lives.
Recently, news had somehow spread that Wan Shan, the Demon King, was planning to attack Heavenly Gate Pass, prompting them to assemble in nearby cities and rush over.
Now, it seemed they had arrived just in time.
On seeing these figures charging forward, Li Hao's expression slightly changed, and he quickly said, "This is not a place for you; hurry and leave!"
"Are these three Demon Kings?"
Lin Qingfeng had already detected the concealed yet terrifying aura of the three Demon Kings, his gaze shifting with concern. If he had known this earlier, he might have reconsidered, but now...
He had come anyway.
Retreating now would be embarrassing.
Besides, looking at the two figures beside Li Hao, he recognized one as the Demon King from Tan Palace Academy.
Many of them had graduated from Tan Palace Academy in earlier years.
They were no strangers to this Demon King.
As for the other, although he didn't recognize them, they seemed to be a powerful figure from the Four Stands Realm, which meant there might still be a possibility of putting up a fight.
"Master Hao, we will hold off the demon tide; you get away first!"
A grandmaster came forward; he was almost surrounded and killed by demons during the defense but was rescued by Li Hao's Dragon Soar Sword that penetrated through seven demons with a single thrust.
