Chapter 2554: with translation of chapter title

Watching Zhao Lao still possessing a vigor like a rainbow, even his aura and battle spirit seemed three parts stronger than before.

For a moment, this Demon God went numb.

No, we all performed the Mìfǎ together, burning our essence blood—why am I getting side effects while you have nothing at all?

I can't figure it out, I simply can't figure it out.

With Zhao Lao pressing down on his head with a pounding blow, he had no strength left to retaliate—being struck like that was utterly wretched.

Filled with extreme anger in his heart, he could only shout out a furious curse.

"You are despicable, you are shameless……"

As for this, Zhao Lao couldn't be bothered to pay it any mind—just a stupid fool.

I activate the Mìfǎ, and you follow me in burning our essence blood, yet you don't understand anything—how dare you tag along?

I use the Mìfǎ because I have food to eat; you have nothing, yet you still follow—just looking for death.

So, heaven's wrongdoing can still be remedied, but self-inflicted wrongdoing truly makes one unlivable—good advice can't persuade a damned ghost.

However, facing this Demon God already weakened, Zhao Lao's thoughts undoubtedly became much bolder.

This is an opportunity—seize this beast in one fell swoop, and isn't that another Demon God ingredient?

Demon God ingredients are rare; with this chance, naturally we cannot let it slip.

"Come and die for me."

In that moment, Zhao Lao's killing intent intensified, and his strikes grew even more ruthless.

From Zhao Lao's eyes, this Demon God naturally sensed the killing intent—this old thing wanted to kill it.

Generally speaking, when it reaches the level of Demon Gods and Zhao Lao—

Although they are mortal enemies, in a major battle deaths rarely occur, and even serious injuries are uncommon.

Nothing else—it's simply too hard to kill.

You should know that even cultivators at the Immortal Realm level can already achieve limb regeneration and rebirth from a drop of blood.

As long as the Origin Source Power is not exhausted, it is difficult to completely slay them.

Moreover, human cultivators also possess souls; even if the flesh is destroyed, the soul remains, making it possible to reforge a body.

And when it comes to Zhao Lao and this Demon God at their level, wanting to slay them naturally makes the difficulty even greater.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Demon God–level beings serve more as a restraint.

But now, Zhao Lao clearly intends to go all out—strike you down while you're weak.

This point—until Zhao Lao unhesitatingly activated the Mìfǎ again, this Demon God had no hope left.

This old thing isn't human at all.

Without a hint of hesitation, seeing Zhao Lao's aura rise steadily as he activated the Mìfǎ, the Demon God without hesitation turned and fled.

You're joking—how can we fight in this situation? If we keep entangling, we might really be stuck here.

But by now, this Demon God wants to leave—it's not that easy.

Zhao Lao, without a word, immediately gave chase, and they instantly became entangled in combat.

On the battlefield, the other Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons saw their own Demon God forced to turn and flee, yet still not escaped.

This sight caused the morale of many Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons to plummet instantly.

Even the Demon God feels like retreating—what are they even fighting for?

In that moment, more and more Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons also had the idea to turn and flee—what's the point of fighting?

Seeing this, a Heavenly Family cultivator shouted loudly.

"These ingredients want to run—stop them."

"Kill."

"Don't let them escape."

On the Human Race side, it's 'greedy without limit'; if possible, they wouldn't let a single ingredient go.

But this is obviously impossible; although they tried their utmost to block, many of those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients still managed to escape.

Furthermore, this place is not far from the Mining Domain entrance; those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients, determined to flee heedlessly, are also hard to stop.

Thus, more and more Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons successfully fled back into the Mining Domain.

Numerous Human Race cultivators pursued them all the way; although they also intercepted some, they were secretly resentful.

Damn it, those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients ran too fast—there was simply no way to stop them.

Not to mention those ordinary Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, even this Demon God tightly gripped by Zhao Lao—

after paying the price of an arm, also managed to break free and put distance between himself and Zhao Lao.

Afterward, it had no hesitation and rushed swiftly into the Mining Domain.

Still clutching a severed arm in his hand, watching that Demon God vanish into the distance, Zhao Lao showed no sign of anger.

It was merely an attempt.

This Demon God differs from the one we encountered earlier on the road; their strength gap is huge—both are Demon Gods, but worlds apart.

The other side just wants to run; you can't stop it unless someone joins forces, in which case there might still be a chance.

Originally we planned a full counterattack, but after this battle, it was the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons who suffered a crushing defeat and fled.

Not only were many slain on the spot, but the number of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons captured alive was also considerable.

One could say that this battle directly caused the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons in this crystal mine to lose one-third of their numbers.

Thus, for them to continue resisting the Human Race's offensive will become all the more difficult.

"That counts as a great victory."

"Haha, now we don't have to worry about ingredient supplies for a short time—this amount is enough to last us a while."

"Look at your little ambition—there are still plenty of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients in this Mining Domain left, and you're already satisfied?"

That's naturally not the case, but the gains from this battle are still not small.

Cut the nonsense, first bring the ingredients back.

Go, go, go.

Leave some people to guard here at the Mining Domain entrance; although the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon probably wouldn't dare come out again, it's never wrong to be careful.

The others, excited, carried the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients one by one, rushing toward the Fire Room.

At the eating place, there was still a long line; moreover, as more people handed in ingredients, the crowd grew and the line lengthened.

Fortunately, there was enough food; Ye Zhangqing had prepared plenty, so no one had to worry about going without.

But after the battle ended, each person ate a bowl, and then they could only rest.

If they wanted to eat again, they'd have to wait until the next mealtime.

Inside the Fire Room, Ye Zhangqing took the last dish out of the pot and also put out the fire.

Beside them, Tianlin and Miao Qianqian, who had just finished eating, spoke with smiles.

That Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon just now, I blew its head apart with one punch.

Tianlin was boasting there; hearing that, Ye Zhangqing asked skeptically.

Did you go onto the battlefield?

These two guys followed along, but the Heavenly Family's elder and Miao Cuihua had strictly forbidden them from going onto the battlefield.

Watching from the side to learn some experience is fine, but going onto the battlefield is not allowed.

But listening to Tianlin's tone, it seemed he had just gone onto the battlefield and even blown the head off an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon with one punch.

Hearing that, Tianlin grinned.

Hehe, I went secretly; Elder Brother Ye, don't tell the old man, otherwise I'll get scolded again.

You... you be careful.
