Chapter 1023: Battle

"In that case, let this Emperor meet this group of fellows and see what their background truly is?"

A faint smile appeared on the Demon Emperor's face, yet deep within his eyes surged a thick aura of killing intent.

At this moment, a Demon Tribe wizard suddenly appeared beside the Demon Emperor, blocking his path.

"Why are you blocking me? I intend to go and fight them personally."

The Demon Emperor looked at the Demon Tribe wizard blocking his way, his brows furrowing slightly.

"My lord, you absolutely must not act rashly. The enemy attacked at midnight; they must have made preparations."

"So what if they made preparations? Do I fear them?"

The wizard hurriedly said, "Of course I know my lord is not afraid, but there is a chance they have a targeted plan."

Speaking, the wizard continued, "Regarding this matter, you should not get involved. Leave it to your subordinate; your subordinate will definitely eliminate this group without any mess, and will never disappoint my lord."

"Moreover, if anything happens to my lord, it would be a disaster for the entire Demon Tribe. The Demon God has not yet descended, and everything in the Demon Tribe still requires your management."

Hearing this, the Demon Emperor thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very well, then I leave everything to you."

After speaking, his gaze turned outward, revealing an expression of Solemnity and wariness in his eyes. Seeing the wizard preparing to leave, he hurriedly called out, "Wait a moment."

The wizard turned his curious gaze

toward the Demon Emperor: "Is there any further order?"

"The forces attacking the Demon Tribe this time are numerous; they must have made preparations. You must act carefully and absolutely not be careless. Also, take that Death Lord with you; let him deal with that so-called attacking lord. You just watch from the side. If the opponent shows even the slightest anomaly, kill him for me immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

The wizard nodded respectfully, then departed quickly.

Watching the wizard's departing back, the Demon Emperor curled a sinister arc at the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself, "These ants actually dare to provoke me; they truly do not know life or death."

Although he would not strike personally, he still needed to hold the position to prevent this attack from causing great chaos. So he immediately walked out of the tent as well and began deploying troops.

At this very moment, at the location of the battlefield.

After Li Yue killed a Demon Tribe member with his bare hands, he looked around and thought, "Strange. Such a huge commotion has already been made, yet no Demon Tribe experts have appeared? Not even a half-god level existence. Did something unexpected happen?"

Thinking this, Li Yue raised his head and looked at the distant sky.

His eyes narrowed slightly; in an instant, he captured a faint light. Although this light was dim, it could not escape his eyes.

He saw this light rushing rapidly toward a certain direction. Its speed was so fast that Li Yue had no way to block it.

"Not good!"

Seeing that light rushing rapidly toward him, Li Yue immediately knew its origin. His expression changed, and he instantly ran toward the distance.

Boom—

Just as Li Yue left, this light struck the place where he had originally stood. In an instant, the location where Li Yue had been exploded, turning to ash.

A cloud of dust rose up.

Li Yue looked at this light, revealing a trace of anger in his eyes.

"Damn, what the hell is this thing?"

Li Yue looked at the figure obscured by dust and cursed with a depressed expression.

Not far away.

A figure of a black-robed wizard appeared in mid-air, his gaze focused on the ground. Li Yue also sensed the situation in mid-air at the first moment and raised his head to take a look.

But immediately after, a massive killing intent emanated from the location of the figure obscured by dust.

Li Yue looked at the figure obscured by dust, his expression sinking slightly.

Suddenly, as the dust dispersed, the figure of the Death Lord appeared before him.

"It's you!"

Li Yue looked at the Death Lord, his eyes filled with indifference and coldness: "I didn't expect it to be you, traitor?"

"Traitor? I only wanted to survive. You forced me to this point." The Death Lord continued: "Hmph, this time I came to find you because there is a score to settle; otherwise, I will not be at peace."

"Oh?"

Li Yue sneered and said, "You want to settle a score? Do you think you are qualified to settle a score with me?"

"You do not know life or death."

Hearing Li Yue's words, the Death Lord's face was filled with rage. He looked at Li Yue and said, "Today, I will let you witness my power."

As the words fell.

The Death Lord's body suddenly vanished from his original spot; in the next moment, he appeared before Li Yue, raising his right fist and smashing it down toward Li Yue.
