Chapter 608: Public Outrage

"Is the other side crazy?"

Seeing this scene, Li Yi's eyelids twitched violently.

He had not expected that the exposure of the Divine Wood Great Bow would provoke such a reaction from the enemy. They had actually charged out of their defensive line and headed straight for him, clearly determined to kill him and reclaim the great bow at any cost.

Under these circumstances, he dared not hesitate in the slightest. He employed the Cloud-Riding and Mist-Driving Art, quickly snatched up the black-gold arrow, and then retreated toward the defensive line at top speed.

Yet, these Heavenly Demons pursued him with madness.

"This human wants to escape! Join forces to intercept him; don't let him get back!" one One One Tian Yao shouted. Following this, his demonic power erupted, and numerous Dao marks intertwined, covering the firmament like a dense, massive web.

Seeing this, the other Heavenly Demons reacted immediately. They also erupted with demonic power, constructing Dao marks that resonated with the others to continue building this great web.

With over a dozen Heavenly Demons joining forces,

a great web woven from ancient Dao marks not only took shape but instantly covered a radius of a hundred miles, forcibly intercepting Li Yi before he could escape.

Although Li Yi's speed with the Cloud-Riding and Mist-Driving Art was astonishing, he had been delayed for a moment while retrieving the black-gold arrow, which gave the Heavenly Demons the opportunity they needed.

Otherwise, he would have long since fled far away.

Facing the web of Dao marks before him, Li Yi did not hesitate at all. He simply extended a finger, and a brilliant, extreme radiance condensed upon it.

Dividing the River to Create Land.

The top-tier Dao technique was set in motion, and his vigorous magic power erupted.

This strike slashed against the Dao marks.

Accompanied by a terrifying release of energy, a corner of the ancient Dao marks was forcibly erased, creating a gap. However, very quickly, as the demonic power of the dozen-plus Heavenly Demons surged, this gap was repaired in an extremely short amount of time.

Li Yi's individual power was limited; he could not exhaust himself against over a dozen Heavenly Demons.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the Heavenly Demons closed the distance rapidly.

Even though this was already near the Earth's defensive line, given how decisive the enemy's actions were, they could easily kill Li Yi and then retreat rapidly.

"You want to keep me here that badly?" Li Yi's gaze sank at this moment.

He could not completely destroy the great web before him. To escape, there was only one method: cross-dimensional travel.

But now that over a dozen Heavenly Demons were attacking, there was simply not enough time to open the cross-dimensional gate. He estimated that just as he finished assembling the cross-dimensional machine, the enemy's next attack would arrive, and the machine would be destroyed.

However, the movement of over a dozen Heavenly Demons joining forces was too great; the alert system immediately sent out a signal.

With various signals being sent out frantically,

the evolvers stationed on the defensive line received them immediately.

"There is movement from the Demon God Realm side. This level of energy fluctuation... it's Heavenly Demons, and there are many of them—a full dozen or more."

"What's going on? Didn't their operation fail just today? Logically, there shouldn't be any other actions for a while. How is it that less than half a day has passed and over a dozen Heavenly Demons are charging toward the defensive line together? Are they tired of living? Don't they know we have experts sitting here?"

"Quick, notify everyone immediately."

As the information was passed on, the experts among the evolvers had already reacted.

Sun Boxiu, Chen Daoxing, Ji Wu—who had previously crossed hands with Li Yi—as well as Ai Si, and other evolvers whose cultivation had reached the Spirit Tribulation Realm, were all alerted, and even Old Daoist Wu was stirred.

"It's Tai Yi's aura."

Old Daoist Wu transformed into a five-colored radiance and rushed out of the defensive line. Sensing the heavens and earth, he immediately perceived Li Yi's presence, but almost simultaneously, over a dozen One One Tian Yao auras surrounded Li Yi.

Was Tai Yi being besieged by Heavenly Demons?

Old Daoist Wu did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately rushed to the rescue.

He had not expected that something could happen right under his nose. The conduct of this group of Heavenly Demons simply showed no regard for him, an expert of the Three-Flower Realm.

But regardless, the actions of the experts within the defensive line were always a beat slow.

After all, this had happened too suddenly, exceeding everyone's expectations.

Therefore,

Li Yi was now trapped in a web of intertwined Dao marks, and before him, over a dozen Heavenly Demons had already joined forces to attack. Their astonishing demonic power erupted, vast and mighty, obscuring the sun and moon.

Just the release of their killing intent was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

Li Yi did not choose to sit and wait for death. Although he could not kill over a dozen Heavenly Demons, if he truly fought to the death, taking a few Heavenly Demons with him was something he could achieve.

With this thought in mind,

he immediately mobilized all his magic power.

All the magic power acupoints in his body resonated in unison. This magic power, accompanied by vigorous blood energy, soared into the sky. Then, all this magic power converged into one place, which he mobilized to perform a Dao technique. At the same time, Li Yi no longer held back, adding the remaining power of incense belief to this spell.

"Summoning Wind and Rain!"

In an instant, a violent wind rose, and heavy rain poured down. This wind was no ordinary wind; it drilled into the mysterious mansions of the body and could scatter the essence spirits of Heavenly Demons. The rain was also no ordinary rain; it was transformed from metal Qi, like splashing sharp blades. Upon falling, it felt like ten million steel knives, capable of leaving the enemy without a corpse or bones.

The two combined,

destroying the enemy's body and scattering their soul.

And that was not all.

Perhaps it was at this critical juncture that Li Yi's potential was stimulated. With a flash of inspiration, he almost subconsciously performed a spell he rarely used.

"Size as Desired!"

Magic power surged again, and he added this extraordinary spell to the Summoning Wind and Rain.

In an instant, the violent wind became even more ferocious, and the rain suddenly grew larger, like giant precious swords falling from the sky, filling the firmament and leaving no room to dodge. At the same time, the power suddenly climbed.

Two top-tier Dao techniques were performed together, erupting with power far exceeding the usual. A Dao technique of this power was already capable of threatening the lives of all the Heavenly Demons.

"What?"

The dozen-plus Heavenly Demons who had come together were swept up by the violent wind, their movements inevitably stalling. Then, the heavy rain, like sharp swords, fell from the sky, obscuring their vision and leaving them unable to see anything before them.

One One One Tian Yao, caught off guard, was struck by a drop of the giant rain, which felt like a precious sword piercing his body. A hideous gash was instantly torn into his powerful physique, and subsequently, under the sweep of the violent wind, a terrifying force invaded his body.

This One One Tian Yao felt his essence spirit constantly collapsing.

Intense pain arrived. The One One Tian Yao roared at the sky, his demonic power erupting. At the same time, he brandished the weapon in his hand, striking across the firmament to block the falling rain, while protecting his body to withstand this wave of terrifying Dao technique attacks.

It was not just him; the other Heavenly Demons were also forced to stop their advance and protect their own safety due to the assault of the two Dao techniques.

If they had continued to charge head-on, they truly might have met with misfortune.

After all, this 'summoning wind and rain' targets everyone; it is not the case that the more people there are, the better.

Unfortunately,

Li Yi's Five Qi were not yet complete. Although his magic power was vigorous, its destructive power was limited. Therefore, whatever Dao technique he performed lacked sufficient power; only after the Five Elements were unified could the true power of Dao techniques be displayed.

!

But this strike, which exhausted everything, was not enough to kill any One One Tian Yao, but it at least delayed them temporarily.

Seizing this opportunity, Li Yi took a deep breath and picked up the Divine Wood Great Bow again.

He drew the bow and shot an arrow.

A black-gold arrow flew out instantly.

"Be careful, the Precious Moon Bow." A One One Tian Yao perceived the danger and warned immediately.

So, this bow was called the Precious Moon Bow.

But the warning came too late.

A black-gold arrow instantly pierced the body of a One One Tian Yao. That One One Tian Yao was powerless to resist the power of the Precious Moon Bow and the black-gold arrow. He just let out a roar, filled with intense anger and unwillingness, before his body was shattered by the rain falling from the sky, and he died miserably on the spot.

Subsequently, Li Yi took out the second black-gold arrow.

He bent the bow and shot again.

The black-gold arrow flashed past.

The second One One Tian Yao was severely wounded. A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, and then his whole person withered. Unable to resist the sweep of the Dao techniques, he turned into ashes amidst the violent wind and rain.

But there were only two black-gold arrows.

After the two black-gold arrows were shot, Li Yi had no time to retrieve them. He could only take out an arrow of the high-grade magic treasure level and bend the bow to shoot again.

Although the third arrow was equally powerful, it was, after all, not a black-gold arrow.

This arrow was reacted to by a Great Demon, who dodged the vital point directly. Although the arrow pierced his arm, it did not cause a fatal wound.

Clearly, it was difficult to kill a One One Tian Yao with an arrow of the high-grade magic treasure level.

Unless Li Yi's strength advanced further to reach the Great Perfection of the Five Qi Realm, he would always be just a little bit short.

"He has no more Jin Wu arrows in his hand."

The One One Tian Yao whose arm had been pierced stared at Li Yi with a hideous expression. He roared, and seeing that the Dao technique of Summoning Wind and Rain had weakened, he immediately condensed his demonic power, gripped his weapon, forcibly tore through the rain curtain, split the violent wind, and killed his way out.

Seeing this, the other Heavenly Demons followed suit.

A full twelve Heavenly Demons.

Even though they had been made somewhat disheveled by the Great Art of Summoning Wind and Rain and had even been injured, the Heavenly Demons had astonishing physiques and were completely fearless. As long as they weren't killed, it wouldn't affect their ability to erupt with powerful combat strength.

This was the terrifying aspect of these demon beasts from the Demon God Realm.

"Kill. Demon God Claw."

The first One One Tian Yao to arrive extended a claw through the air, grabbing toward Li Yi.

Under these circumstances, Li Yi could only abandon the bow and clench his fists to meet the attack.

The four-colored fist radiance appeared again, meeting that demon claw.

Boom!

The power of this strike erupted and released.

That One One Tian Yao's expression changed suddenly. His Demon God Claw had not finished off the opponent in one strike; instead, they were evenly matched. This meant that the human evolver before him was not simple; he also possessed strength at the One One Tian Yao level.

"You can block one strike, but can you block all of us Heavenly Demons? You are destined to die here. Don't make useless struggles; obediently hand over the Precious Moon Bow and the Jin Wu arrows." Another One One Tian Yao killed his way over almost immediately after, launching a strike with astonishing demonic power.

Li Yi had no time to resist this strike. His expression changed drastically; he could only hope that his Red Chi Chi Yu Zi Jin Armor was sufficient.

All remaining magic power was poured into it.

The light of the red clouds steamed, and a red spirit bird spread its wings and emerged.

The artifact spirit of the Red Chi Chi Yu Zi Jin Armor was stimulated, protecting Li Yi and blocking the One One Tian Yao's assault.

"The essence spirit of the Wind Feather Great Demon? Detestable human, die for me!" However, when the other Heavenly Demons saw that the essence spirit of the Wind Feather Great Demon had been refined into armor by someone, they became even more furious. They launched their strongest attacks toward Li Yi one after another.

They attempted to join forces to completely annihilate Li Yi, not even wanting to leave a speck of dust behind.

"Damn it."

Seeing this scene, Li Yi couldn't help but want to curse.

They really thought highly of him.

He was only at the fourth layer of the Five Qi Realm; was it necessary for over a dozen Heavenly Demons to besiege him together?

They really didn't play by the rules of martial arts.
