Chapter 610: Warning
Great Demon Yuan Cang wanted to beat Wu Yong to death, and Wu Yong was no less eager to beat this Great Demon to death. In this kind of offensive and defensive war, eliminating the opponent's top combat power was a very huge victory. Whoever killed whom had the potential to break the fragile balance on the defensive line.
"This Yuan Cang's strength is greater than mine. If we truly fought, I would likely not be his match, but I wouldn't be defeated either." Old Daoist Wu pondered secretly in his heart: "This is thanks to the Dao artifact that the Bald Daoist refined for me. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to clash head-on with a Great Demon."
His strength was not the top among the Three-Flower Realm experts Li Yi had brought.
Previously, when crossing hands with a Great Demon at the Golden Academy, Old Daoist Wu had been defeated. However, the reason for the defeat at that time was that his weapon was not good enough. But now it was different; Li Yi had brought the Bald Daoist over.
During this period, he had refined a Dao artifact for Old Daoist Wu, greatly increasing his strength and giving Old Daoist Wu the capital to confront a Great Demon.
"Wu Yong, you are no match for me. If the battle drags on, you will undoubtedly lose." Yuan Cang responded coldly: "You won't be able to hold the defensive line either. To tell you the truth, our reinforcements will arrive very soon."
"Reinforcements? Do you think these little tricks can scare me? If you truly had the confidence to defeat me, you would have already killed your way over. Why wait until today?" Old Daoist Wu sneered: "You think you have reinforcements, but do you think my Earth doesn't? Moreover, there are dozens of experts like me. My strength is only at the bottom. Previously at the Golden Academy, your three Great Demons perished; haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Cang was furious, but he suppressed his impulse and did not take action.
Because what the opponent said was true.
Earth did not just have this Wu Yong; there were also the experts who had previously killed the Great Demons Xiong Bi, Qing Jiao, and Feng Yu. It was just that these experts had not shown themselves, but he knew that if the defensive line were broken one day, these hidden experts would definitely take action.
Therefore, the current offensive and defensive between each other was nothing more than probing each other's details and preparing for the subsequent full-scale invasion of Earth.
Of course,
it would be best if he could take this opportunity to kill a few of the opponent's top experts.
"Wu Yong, stop being arrogant. You don't have many good days left. Sooner or later, I will use the staff in my hand to knock your head to pieces." Yuan Cang roared, and then, seeing that the Heavenly Demons had already retreated safely, he couldn't be bothered to stay long. He carried the purple-gold mixed-iron staff in his hand and turned to leave.
Although his figure was massive, he was extremely agile. In just a few steps, he had crossed a distance of tens of kilometers, fleeing far away at an extremely fast speed, retreating from the vicinity of the Earth's defensive line and returning to the Demon God Realm.
Old Daoist Wu also knew clearly that the opponent's appearance was only to protect those Heavenly Demons as they retreated, so he had no intention of taking action. After all, if they truly fought, he would be the one to suffer, and if the opponent were to smash a staff toward the defensive line, he didn't know how many people would be affected again.
Therefore, he just watched the opponent leave.
"What a pity. If the opponent had arrived a little later, all these Heavenly Demons would have died here." Old Daoist Wu sighed, then waved his hand casually, dispersing the five-colored radiance that filled the sky, and then he flew toward Li Yi.
"Tai Yi, are you alright?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "I am fine. Fortunately, the senior arrived in time, otherwise I really would have been besieged and killed by over a dozen Heavenly Demons."
"The opponent didn't recognize you, Tai Yi. Why did they act contrary to their usual behavior today, disregarding everything to cross the defensive line and take action?" Old Daoist Wu asked with some confusion.
Li Yi said: "I found a hibernating Heavenly Demon within the defensive line and used this divine bow to shoot it to death. The Heavenly Demons on the defensive line recognized this bow and arrow, and then they went crazy, wanting to take it back."
"Is it the bow and arrow left behind by that Great Demon Feng Yu last time? It is indeed extraordinary. This bow and arrow can even pierce through Dao artifacts, and its power is incomparably strong. It is reasonable for the opponent to be impatient to take it back."
Old Daoist Wu nodded slightly and said: "On this battlefield of the Demon God Realm, Tai Yi, it is better to use the divine bow less."
Li Yi said: "I don't have a handy Dao artifact in my hand, so I can only use the divine bow to shoot it to death. You also know about the Dao artifacts from last time; they were lent to Fairy Xiang Xiangzi to fight the enemy, and many were damaged."
"That is true." Old Daoist Wu said: "There were many things I couldn't say when we were in the council chamber before, but it doesn't matter here. I will call that bald guy over later and let him refine a Dao artifact for you to increase your strength, Tai Yi."
"Last time was relatively rushed, and the materials were only enough to refine one piece of armor. This is our dereliction of duty. I hope Tai Yi will not take it to heart."
He felt a bit ashamed.
After all, they had crossed the boundary to protect Li Yi's growth. This time, just because of a small oversight, so many problems had appeared, which really shouldn't have happened. One must know that there were quite a few experts of the Three-Flower Realm on Earth now. As a result, Li Yi was targeted by over a dozen Heavenly Demons near the defensive line, and there was no Three-Flower Realm expert protecting him by his side. This really shouldn't have happened.
"You are too polite. What kind of dereliction of duty is this? I am just a bit curious, where have Xuan Yuezi and the other Three-Flower Realm seniors gone?" Li Yi then asked.
Old Daoist Wu said: "Fairy Xuan Yuezi is temporarily in seclusion for cultivation. She has bloomed all three flowers and needs to stabilize her cultivation. The Bald Daoist is wandering around Earth, looking for weapon-refining materials, and also helping to hunt extraordinary creatures, and even mythical creatures. It is a pity about Fei Yunzi; he came to the defensive line with me, but was severely wounded by a Great Demon and is currently recuperating... As for Cang Erzi, you know, Tai Yi, he has hibernated into the Profound Immortal Continent."
"Recently, the Profound Immortal Continent has been relatively peaceful and has not taken action against Earth. I think Cang Erzi is also a reason for this. As for Liu Guzi and Daoist Gan, they are no longer experts of the Three-Flower Realm. Among them, Liu Guzi is currently staying in Tianchang City, protecting the safety of the city, and at the same time, she is re-cultivating the three flowers, striving to return to her peak as soon as possible."
After a series of explanations, Li Yi suddenly felt that there were still not enough experts.
However, this was mainly because the sacrifice in the last confrontation with the Great Demons was too great, resulting in the loss of Xiang Xiangzi and causing Liu Guzi and Daoist Gan to lose their three flowers, with their realms falling.
This was equivalent to Li Yi losing three Three-Flower Realm experts in one breath.
"Should I cross the boundary again and bring a few seniors over to support?" Li Yi asked.
Old Daoist Wu said: "Sometimes, having more people is not a good thing. Our main purpose is not to protect the safety of Earth, but to protect your growth, Tai Yi. If you want all the Three-Flower Realm experts to confront the Demon God Realm, this is not a good thing."
"After all, human hearts are unpredictable. They might put in effort for your sake, Tai Yi, but for the sake of Earth, that might not be the case. If the war is tragic, Three-Flower Realm experts will also perish. At that time, what will happen, I cannot say for sure."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi's heart couldn't help but tremble.
!
He understood Old Daoist Wu's meaning.
Although dozens of Three-Flower Realm experts had all been planted with the Self-Sacrifice Curse, everything was based on the premise that Li Yi could bring them hope and survival. If Li Yi let them confront the Demon God Realm and let them die,
under such circumstances, it was not impossible for people to develop rebellious hearts.
They had managed to survive from the End-of-Law cultivation world until now; they were not kind and gentle people. When it truly came to that time, one could never bet that Three-Flower Realm experts would not dare to do something outrageous.
Just like Xiang Xiangzi, she was polite to Li Yi, but if it were someone else, they would have long since stepped him to death.
Li Yi also knew this, so he was relatively cautious when using these Three-Flower Realm experts, fearing that chaos would arise.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior. I understand." He bowed solemnly.
Old Daoist Wu sighed and said: "I am just saying a fair word from the heart, because if I were asked to confront a Great Demon, I wouldn't be very willing either. It is just that being in this world, many things are beyond one's own control. But you must understand, Tai Yi, if Earth's crisis is unsolvable, I hope you can cross the boundary and leave, and not think about turning the tide with your own strength."
"The strength of one person is limited, even if you have forty-plus Three-Flower Realm experts standing behind you, it won't work. The most urgent task is that you must reach the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qi Facing the Origin as soon as possible. Only in this way can you suppress others, otherwise, chaos will inevitably arise over time."
He spoke from the bottom of his heart at this moment.
Li Yi nodded in deep agreement.
"Tai Yi, let's leave this place first. The Demon God Realm has already targeted you. You must not be exposed outside for a long time. If you are targeted by a Great Demon, it will be dangerous."
Subsequently, Old Daoist Wu immediately took Li Yi and retreated from here.
And Li Yi, after Old Daoist Wu's reminder, also gave up the idea of crossing the boundary to bring other Three-Flower Realm experts over.
Because he could not suppress so many people.
At the same time, Li Yi could not participate too much in the affairs of this defensive line.
