Chapter 607

After Li Yi personally came to the defense line and took a tour, he realized how dangerous this place really was. On the mountain range in the distance, which had been moved there by the powerful magic of the Demon God Realm's experts, countless demon beasts of all sizes were gathered.

Even as Li Yi and Su Mu slowly retreated, there were still over a dozen dangerous gazes spying on them.

As long as they dared to cross the line by one step, what would follow would be the siege of over a dozen Heavenly Demons.

Even though Li Yi's strength was not weak, he didn't have the confidence to deal with over a dozen Heavenly Demons in one go, let alone the fact that the other side had Great Demons sitting in command. If a Great Demon equivalent to the Three-Flower Realm took action, even while staying on the defense line, there was a possibility of being killed by a long-range strike.

"This place is indeed dangerous. It's hard to imagine that this is just one force of the Tian Yue Tianyue Yao Wang invading. If the experts of the Demon God Realm were to come out in full force, that would be a true nightmare," Li Yi said.

"This situation is impossible to happen. The Demon Kings of the Demon God Realm don't respect each other, and they all have their own territories. Unless the Demon God Realm is destroyed, it is absolutely impossible for them to join forces,"

Su Mu said.

Clearly, she had stayed on the defense line for a period of time and had some understanding of the situation in the Demon God Realm.

The Demon God Realm judged status based on bloodline and strength.

Therefore, this resulted in the fact that while demon beasts were loyal to their leaders, it meant that none of them would respect each other. If the Demon God Realm could be united, then there would be no need to continue this war; they might as well just admit defeat and surrender.

Suddenly.

Just on the way back to the defense line, Li Yi stopped his footsteps abruptly.

"What's wrong? Is there a situation?" Seeing this, Su Mu couldn't help but become alert immediately.

"Maybe I felt wrong. Just now, I sensed a faint trace of demon energy remaining here, but this area, by logic, has no demon beasts alive, so I think it's a bit strange."

Li Yi looked around. Warning devices were floating everywhere, scanning every inch of land here twenty-four hours a day without interruption. If there were any unusual life fluctuations, the warning devices would remind them immediately.

But the warning devices here were very quiet, which meant there was no life nearby.

Su Mu continued to ask: "Can you determine the general direction? If you can determine the direction, you can try to take action to probe it, so as not to have any omissions."

Li Yi thought for a moment, then closed his eyes and seriously felt the aura around him.

He was not an Immortal cultivator and had no spiritual sense, so he had no way to scan precisely, but he was also a practitioner of the Dao and was very sensitive to abnormal auras between heaven and earth. Demon energy was an even more conspicuous aura, so it was hard not to notice it.

"The demon energy has disappeared."

However, just as Li Yi was seriously feeling the aura of heaven and earth, he discovered that the demon energy that had appeared earlier had disappeared without a trace again.

This change instead made Li Yi immediately become vigilant.

If he had only felt weak demon energy, he wouldn't find it strange, because it was very likely that fragments of weapons used by Great Demons or Heavenly Demons could be left on the battlefield, and demon energy would remain on these weapon fragments for a long time. But this demon energy suddenly disappearing was clearly not right.

Thinking of this.

Li Yi immediately opened his eyes and looked in a direction not far to the right.

That place was pitted and bumpy, the earth was cracked, and it was scarred and riddled with holes. No life could survive under such impact.

But the direction of the demon energy just now was exactly there.

However, the range was a bit large, and it was difficult for Li Yi to accurately identify the exact location for a moment.

"Since I can't find it, then I'll strike a probing blow."

Li Yi then didn't think too much more; he just stretched out his palm, mobilized his magic power, and performed a Daoist art: "River-Turning!"

Accompanied by the outpouring of vast magic power, the already fragmented ground was covered by a huge, mighty force in an instant. Afterward, the entire earth was overturned, and heaven and earth were reversed at this moment.

It was as if a large mountain had been added to the original earth, while the previous area left behind a large pit that looked like an abyss.

He had thought that everything was Li Yi overthinking it and that there were no demon beasts within the defense line at all.

But under this strike, something unexpected happened.

"Roar!"

A roar suddenly exploded through the rubble, and terrifying demon power was emitted. It was seen that a demon creature with a tiger's head and a human body had appeared.

"It's a Heavenly Demon."

Seeing this scene, Su Mu's pupils shrank suddenly: "A Heavenly Demon lurking inside the defense line without being discovered? How is this possible?"

"It seems my previous feeling was not wrong; there was indeed a trace of demon energy. I just didn't expect it to be a Heavenly Demon. What is this guy doing hiding underground and infiltrating the defense line?" Li Yi couldn't help but frown at this moment.

Su Mu thought quickly and then said: "Most likely it wants to slowly approach the defense line and then find an opportunity to sneak into Earth. The other side is so patient, which makes me have to suspect what kind of conspiracy the Demon God Realm is plotting."

"Li Yi, let's retreat first while that Heavenly Demon hasn't reacted yet. Don't fight with it here. This place is too close to the Demon God Realm. Once a fight starts, the other side is very likely to provide support."

"Leave? Now is not a time when we can leave just because we want to," Li Yi's expression became solemn at this moment.

Suddenly.

That Heavenly Demon lurking underground disappeared from its original spot. A violent gale blew between heaven and earth, and accompanied by this gale sweeping in all directions, a blade aura carrying countless Daoist attainments suddenly slashed toward the direction where Li Yi was.

This strike was grand in momentum and full of killing intent, making one's hair stand on end. Seeing this, Su Mu was greatly shocked. Although she was an evolver at the Spirit God Realm, in terms of strength, she was no match for a Heavenly Demon. Encountering a Heavenly Demon, she could only run away and must never get entangled in a fight, otherwise, she would die very miserably.

"Courting death."

However, Li Yi suddenly shouted, his voice like rolling thunder, instantly filling the firmament.

Facing the slashing blade aura, he was not afraid; instead, he clenched his fist to meet it. In just an instant, his fist edge condensed into shape, with four-colored light dancing on it, extreme and brilliant.

With a punch thrown out.

The terrifying fist light annihilated everything in front of him, and the entire territory began to vibrate with a buzzing sound.

Afterward, the two attacks collided together.

Li Yi had fought with another Heavenly Demon before and knew the strength of a Heavenly Demon. He knew that this strike could only be a match, not enough to defeat the opponent, so after this punch, he clenched his other fist again.

Fist edges intertwined, and the power of dragon and tiger entangled.

"Human evolver, daring to ruin my plan, I'll kill you."

That Heavenly Demon broke through the aftermath of the battle at this moment, roared, and lunged out to kill. The large blade in its hand erupted with countless Dao marks again, and vast demon power was emitted.

!

But before its attack arrived, Li Yi's second punch smashed over again.

"What?"

Sensing a fatal crisis, this Heavenly Demon was startled and almost instinctively raised its blade to defend.

Boom.

This fist light smashed onto its body with vast power, actually forcibly shaking the Heavenly Demon into retreating repeatedly. Even the Daoist attainments on the large blade were wiped out quite a bit in an instant, becoming dim and lusterless.

Seeing the opponent's declining momentum, golden auspicious clouds rose under Li Yi's feet, accompanied by clouds and mist floating across the sky.

He rode the clouds and mist, killing toward that Heavenly Demon again.

With the experience of the previous fight, Li Yi's progress this time was clearly much greater. He was no longer so passive but actively seized the initiative, responding with powerful attacks and not giving the Heavenly Demon a chance to catch its breath.

Otherwise, if the opponent kept using killing moves, it would be he who was in danger.

"Damn it."

That Heavenly Demon felt it was being suppressed by the opponent and was furious. It roared at the mountains and rivers, the sun and moon seemed to have lost their color, and only terrifying tiger roars echoed between heaven and earth.

Moreover, this tiger roar carried terrifying demon power; just one roar could shatter one's soul and break one's body.

Even Li Yi felt dizzy and had severe pain in his soul after suffering this roar, but fortunately, his soul was entangled with countless incense belief powers. Although such soul attacks were terrifying, the damage caused to him was not obvious.

But Su Mu was unlucky. She couldn't resist and immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Her entire aura withered instantly, and she couldn't even maintain flight, falling straight down from the high sky.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi immediately performed a Daoist art, letting a golden auspicious cloud catch the falling Su Mu. Afterward, he struck out a bit of magic power, letting the auspicious cloud turn into a golden light to escort her away from here, avoiding being affected by the Heavenly Demon's attack and losing her life in a daze.

After Su Mu was sent away, the Red Feather Purple Gold Armor on Li Yi's body erupted with rays of red light to protect him, resisting the attack of the tiger roar.

And taking this opportunity, he didn't want to entangle with the opponent too much and directly took out the Divine Wood Great Bow.

He bent the bow and nocked the arrow in one go.

A black-gold arrow disappeared in an instant.

This scene was also captured by that Heavenly Demon, and it widened its eyes in great shock. Clearly, it recognized this divine bow.

It almost instinctively wanted to turn around and run, but before it could turn its head, the black-gold arrow had already pierced its skull. Moreover, there was a strange power on the black-gold arrow that could shatter the essence of a Great Demon.

Therefore, being shot by the arrow, don't look at the small wound, but in reality, its soul had already been shattered, and its life was long gone.

"Ah!"

The Heavenly Demon let out a miserable scream. It felt its entire body's demon power dissipating and its life fading away.

Even if it wanted to fight to the death and take away this human evolver holding the divine bow, it could no longer do so. Finally, it could only widen its eyes and fall down powerlessly.

Because its life was lost, this Heavenly Demon manifested its true form. It was a huge fierce tiger, but it was different from ordinary fierce tigers; its body was covered with purple scales, and it was unknown what kind of strange beast it was.

"This thing is truly the nemesis of Heavenly Demons; one arrow and it's dead." Li Yi didn't say a word and collected the Heavenly Demon's corpse into the Five Elements Bracelet, not even letting go of that weapon.

But this scene was also seen by the demon creatures on the Demon God Realm's defense line.

"It's the divine bow of the Great Demon Feng Yu."

"Shan Xiao is dead, shot to death by the divine bow."

"This person is the murderer who killed the Tianyue Yao Wang's daughter; we must take back this divine bow."

From the distant mountain range, roars came one after another, like beasts howling.

Afterward, one figure after another turned into streams of light, ignoring the warnings of the defense line, and lunged straight at Li Yi.
