Chapter 1025: The Wizard Strikes

This black spear carried an extremely sharp, cutting aura, like a venomous snake, sweeping toward him.

Sensing the danger of this aura, the Death Lord dared not slacken; his figure instantly retreated, trying to dodge Li Yue's attack.

But he found there was nowhere left to hide.

He could only endure Li Yue's strike head-on.

"Bang!"

The Death Lord's body was struck directly by Li Yue's black spear.

A violent crash echoed through the void.

In the next instant, the Death Lord's body plummeted from the sky.

"Pfft!"

The Death Lord's body slammed hard onto the ground, blood spewing from his mouth and staining the earth red. His chest caved in; the entire thoracic cavity was corroded by this black energy, its internal organs destroyed.

"Thud!"

"Crunch!"

The Death Lord lay on the ground, struggling constantly, trying to rise, but his injuries were too severe; he had no strength left to get up.

Seeing the Death Lord's wretched state, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yue's lips.

"Haha, just stay here and die obediently."

Li Yue laughed heartily, looking as though victory was already in his grasp.

The Death Lord stared at Li Yue, his eyes filled with resentment and fury. His gaze locked firmly on Li Yue as he roared.

"I don't believe I will lose to you."

Having spoken, the Death Lord tried to rise again.

Li Yue showed no expression; he slowly raised the spear in his hand, and destructive magical power gathered upon the long spear.

Just before he was about to strike, his figure suddenly froze.

Li Yue's gaze turned forward, looking at the person who had suddenly appeared, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The Black-Robed Wizard appeared before Li Yue, both hands gripping a staff held overhead, emitting a dazzling black light; in the next instant, he smashed it down hard onto the ground.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out.

A bottomless chasm suddenly split open in the ground.

On the other side of the chasm, countless molten lava flows were hidden; these lavas seemed alive, twisting wildly, trying to surge into this area.

The lava gathered together, forming a colossal beast a hundred zhang tall, like a mountain range; it opened its blood-filled maw and swallowed everything here.

"Whoosh, whoosh"

The lava rolled endlessly on the ground, like a living volcano, radiating scorching heat that burned the ground until it glowed red-hot.

What is this?

This scene shocked Li Yue; gazing at the giant molten lava mountain before him, a thread of doubt rose in his heart. It was a strange feeling, as if watching this scene, he was viewing a horror film.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Li Yue couldn't help but mutter.

Watching the molten lava mountain appear, the Black-Robed Wizard's lips curled slightly, revealing a mocking smile; he looked at Li Yue before him and said in a hoarse, grating voice, "Your strength is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, you must die here today."

"This is a gift I prepared especially for you; enjoy it well!"

Hearing the Black-Robed Wizard's words, Li Yue frowned; this person's attitude left him somewhat puzzled, as if mocking his overconfidence.

Then, the wizard raised a hand and pointed toward Li Yue's position; the giant lava monster, as if understanding the Demon Race Wizard's gesture, raised its own hand, clenched it into a fist, and then struck hard toward Li Yue.

"Boom!"

Seeing this, Li Yue hurriedly swung his long spear to block.

In an instant, a massive magical array erupting from the spear surrounded Li Yue.

But then, the magical array began to shatter layer by layer from the outside. At this very moment, the long spear in Li Yue's hand also showed signs of damage.

A dull thud sounded; a large pit appeared on the ground, dust kicked up into the air, revealing the dark rocks beneath; upon those rocks lay Li Yue, his body covered in shocking wounds.

His face turned pale, a thread of crimson blood oozing from the corner of his mouth; he looked extremely wretched.

He struggled to his feet, gazing at the giant lava monster before him, his eyes flashing with shock; he never expected this giant lava monster to be so terrifying.

That last strike had nearly taken his life.

Who exactly is this Black-Robed Wizard?

Why is his power so overwhelming?

Li Yue looked at the opponent, his gaze turning cold; he did not know whether this wizard was friend or foe.

"Who exactly are you?"

The corner of the Demon Race Wizard's lips lifted slightly as he spoke slowly, "The Chief Wizard under the Demon God my lord. But unfortunately, even if you know my name, it serves no purpose; die."

Hearing this, Li Yue's eyes widened; for a moment, a hint of an intriguing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Waited for you so long, finally you've appeared; truly not easy." Of course, this sentence was a self-talk in his mind.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

The Demon Race Wizard raised the staff in his hand and once again commanded the lava monster to throw a fist at Li Yue.

In an instant, several swordsmen, seeing this, rushed over hurriedly, swinging their long swords to block the lava monster's assault.

However, their strength could not stop the lava monster's attack at all.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Their sword techniques were completely ineffective against the lava monster's defense.

In an instant, they were pulverized by the magma monster, turning into a sky filled with flesh and blood.

But such an act bought Li Yue a chance to escape.

Li Yue urgently ordered, "Everyone retreat, retreat."

By now, the Demon Clan had recovered and begun mounting an effective counterattack; seeing countless swordsmen choosing to flee, they hurriedly gave chase.

But they were stopped by the wizards.

"Do not pursue a desperate foe."

"But..."

Some demons did not understand; this was the best moment to press the advantage, so why forbid the pursuit?
