Chapter 670: Sky Demon Encirclement and Annihilation
The defensive force along this stretch of line where Li Yi was stationed was extremely thin, with no high-tech weapons to counter the Sky Demons or Earth Demons, and no formidable experts to provide support.
Only Su Mu and three other scattered cultivators were stationed here.
Under these circumstances, their ability to make any difference was negligible, for the enemy's numbers were simply too great—enough to shatter this section of the line in an instant and surge onto Earth.
The only one they could rely on was Li Yi.
"Can you hold?" Su Mu's gaze was fixed entirely on Li Yi.
At this moment, Li Yi's fist energy was at its peak, standing firm before the line, facing the incoming Sky Demons.
"They have only one expert among them—kill him together, then eliminate the other cultivators, cross this line, and storm Earth to avenge the Demon King."
"A mere human cultivator dares to stand alone against us? How presumptuous."
"I'll kill him."
As voices echoed, countless demonic energies poured from the air ahead, surging with murderous intent—then, a Sky Demon with dual wings, avian body and human form surged forward, moving with astonishing speed, swift as thunder.
In an instant, he was already before Li Yi.
In his hand he gripped a golden hammer, its surface woven with ancient cultivation traces, and he slammed it down from afar.
The force of this blow made the very sky seem unable to bear it, groaning as air shattered in continuous, deafening explosions—the terrifying power unleashed would force even a Tribulation Crossing cultivator to retreat, daring not to oppose it.
Yet Li Yi did not dodge or evade—he had fought Sky Demons before and knew their strength; he had confidence to battle them, even to withstand this ultimate strike.
Thus, Li Yi's gaze flashed, his pupils narrowing slightly, transforming once more into vertical slits.
In this moment, he seemed to become a hunter, and the Sky Demons and Earth Demons before him merely his prey.
"Kill."
The warrior's bloodlust ignited—Li Yi roared, stomped forward, and a golden auspicious cloud appeared; the power of Dragon and Tiger shook the void, then he raised his fist and unleashed a punch—his four-colored fist energy, long Xushidaifa, erupted violently.
BOOM!
The terrifying cultivation energy clashed with the ancient demonic bloodline's traces, magic power and demonic energy igniting each other, determined to maximize the strike's destructive force.
Four Dao techniques, each capable of severing rivers and forming land, carried the might of Dragon and Tiger—this strike was breathtaking.
It was precisely because of this that Li Yi, at only the fourth layer of Five Qi Realm, could defy the odds and withstand a Great Demon—any ordinary cultivator would have been obliterated by this blow.
"This punch…" The Sky Demon of the Thunder Peng clan's eyes sharply contracted—he felt his hammer strike not only failed to kill this human cultivator, but was somehow overpowered, utterly outmatched.
Was this an illusion?
No.
No, this was no illusion.
Four brilliant fist trails now tore straight through the ancient demonic traces, like a sharp blade slicing toward the Thunder Peng Sky Demon.
The demon, stunned and enraged, could not counter—he was struck instantly, a deep fist imprint carved into his muscular body; he reeled backward like a white rainbow streaking across the heavens, spewing a gout of blood.
This punch hurled the Sky Demon kilometers away, leaving him wounded and bleeding.
But he was only wounded and bleeding—not slain.
"How is this possible? A Thunder Peng Sky Demon was repelled by a single punch from this human cultivator?"
"Is this human really this strong?"
"Don't fight him one-on-one—surround and kill him together! Don't let this human live, or he'll become our greatest threat."
The other Sky Demons, upon seeing this strike, froze for a moment—then snapped to attention, each revealing cold, murderous intent; the ancient tradition of the Demon God Realm had emerged.
Facing a formidable foe, they would swarm together and annihilate him—never allow the enemy to be picked off one by one.
Immediately.
Three Sky Demons lunged in unison, giving Li Yi no chance to breathe.
After repelling the first Sky Demon, Li Yi clearly realized his strength had grown vastly compared to ten days ago—likely due to the divine blood incubating within him, making the Dragon and Tiger power stronger than before.
Previously, though he was at the fourth layer of Five Qi Realm, his acupoint divine blood was depleted, in a state of emptiness—effectively rendering his Divine Martial Path nonexistent. Now, after ten days of rest, his divine blood had recovered considerably, and the potential of his Divine Martial Path was beginning to bloom.
Unfortunately, he had rested only ten days.
Had he been given a hundred days, until all sixty major acupoints were filled with divine blood, one punch might kill a Sky Demon outright.
Reality offered no "what ifs," and crises never waited for you to be ready.
Seeing the three Sky Demons charge together, Li Yi reacted instantly—his golden auspicious cloud surged upward, surrounding him with swirling mist.
Soaring on Clouds, Riding Mist!
Li Yi's form vanished from his original spot—only to reappear a moment later within the thick fog, then dissolve again—yet in this moment of appearing and dissolving, he had already reached the back of one Sky Demon.
Another four-colored fist shot out.
"Trying to ambush? Too naive." The Sky Demon roared, reacting instantly and turning to strike—demonic energy coalesced into a trace like a fang, biting toward him.
The ambush failed; they exchanged blows.
Li Yi still held the upper hand—his four-colored fist light instantly shattered the demon's attack, and the residual force forced the demon back.
But such exchanges rarely resulted in death.
Yet at this very moment—
The other two Sky Demons arrived, their surging demonic energies instantly drowning the spot where Li Yi had just been.
"Li Yi!" Su Mu, witnessing this, couldn't help crying out.
"You have time to care for others? Take care of yourself first." Nearby, Earth Demons had already locked onto Su Mu, watching her like prey; Tao Sheng, Pan Hongjie, and Lu Yi were also locked in desperate battles.
They were surrounded and attacked by Earth Demons; though their own strength was decent and they cultivated three paths, the enemy's numbers were too great—just surviving this onslaught was already a miracle, let alone killing any.
Even if they repelled an enemy, another would immediately take its place, leaving them with no real gains.
If this continued, their deaths were inevitable.
"Damn it." Su Mu, now surrounded by Sky Demons, shimmered with cosmic energy, forming lethal killing intent to forcibly repel the Earth Demons, then seized an opening to try and slay one.
But immediately, her location was submerged under countless demonic energies.
Su Mu barely escaped the encirclement at great cost, yet the Earth Demons pursued relentlessly, unable to shake them off.
Meanwhile—
In the center of the sky, where demonic energy churned violently—
A figure emerged, unscathed, riding through the crimson glow.
"This human is unharmed?" The two Great Demons who struck him froze.
Surviving two Sky Demon attacks?
If you had this power, you should already be a Great Demon yourself.
But soon, the Sky Demons understood—Li Yi wore the Crimson Feather Purple Gold Armor, and at this moment, the Dao Artifact's true power revealed itself, perfectly blocking their strikes.
Yet the spirit within the Crimson Feather Purple Gold Armor exposed Li Yi's true identity.
The spirit was a red celestial bird—common on Earth, but in the Demon God Realm, it was unmistakably from the Tian Yue Demon King's lineage.
It was the essence of the Great Demon Feng Yu.
Meanwhile, on the Demon God Realm's frontline, Li Yi's traits had already spread among Sky Demons and Earth Demons.
"It's him—he's the one who killed the Demon King's daughter."
"The Moonbow and Black Gold Arrows once held by Great Demon Feng Yu are in this man's possession."
"Inform the Great Demons immediately—don't let this man escape!"
Upon seeing this, the Sky Demons roared in fury.
Li Yi's gaze was icy—he had known he would be exposed; any Dao Artifact he used would reveal him, unless he never used it. But the battlefield was deadly, surrounded by Sky Demons—he couldn't kill them without using his Dao Artifact.
"You're too talkative."
His murderous intent reached its peak—he activated Soaring on Clouds, Riding Mist, vanishing instantly from his spot, then ignoring all other attacks, he charged straight toward one Sky Demon.
"Want to kill me? Too naive."
This Sky Demon was battle-hardened—he instantly understood Li Yi's intent, yet showed no fear, roaring as he swung his weapon, unleashing all his demonic energy and traces in a single strike.
This was the Sky Demon's ultimate blow—more terrifying than before.
For he knew this strike wasn't just to defend himself from being killed—it was to delay Li Yi, trapping him in the Sky Demons' encirclement.
Such battle awareness explained why Earth's cultivators were struggling so desperately.
"Five Element Bracelets—go." Yet at this moment, Li Yi activated his last remaining Dao Artifact.
It was the Five Element Bracelet on his wrist.
Originally a storage Dao Artifact, it had another function: trapping enemies.
He had never used it before because past battles weren't this dire—but now, to kill this Sky Demon swiftly, he didn't care.
The Five Element Bracelet flew out, instantly transforming into a five-colored ring that encircled the Sky Demon.
The ring tightened, pinning the demon in place.
Clad in the Crimson Feather Purple Gold Armor, Li Yi poured massive magic power into it, enduring the demon's ultimate strike—then, the moment it passed, he unleashed another four-colored fist, infused with Dragon and Tiger power.
"Damn it."
The Sky Demon's eyes widened—he instinctively tried to flee, but couldn't break free from the Five Element Bracelet.
"Die."
Li Yi's fist slammed down, engulfing the Sky Demon's head.
The skull obliterated, the essence destroyed.
This Sky Demon had no chance of survival.
Amidst being surrounded and attacked, Li Yi had finally slain a Sky Demon against all odds.
But killing just one was not enough.
He immediately used the Five Element Bracelet to store the demon's corpse, stepped on the auspicious cloud, transformed into mist, and vanished instantly.
"Damn it."
The other heavenly demons immediately flew into a rage.
