Chapter 1062: Confrontation

As the witch chanted her spell, all the magic within the entire formation surged downward in an instant, raging wildly.

Boom—boom—boom—boom—

This spell was extremely powerful; wherever it passed, the ground collapsed, trees were destroyed, and huge chunks of earth were swept up, then flying into the sky, obscuring the heavens.

Under these circumstances, the demons had no way to escape; they were all engulfed, torn into powder, turned to dust, and vanished from everyone's sight.

Of course, other lords trapped within were also included.

For a moment, screams followed one after another.

Very quickly, the demons lost more than half their numbers.

Seeing the situation before him, the Demon Emperor was filled with rage; he knew there was no way to save the demon soldiers within the formation.

At this moment, his furious gaze focused on Li Yue and the others.

Li Yue had not yet recovered from his injuries in the last battle with this opponent, and now he had to fight again; to be honest, his head truly ached.

But Li Yue did not retreat in the slightest; he remained standing tall, hands clasped behind his back.

"Human, this time you have angered me; prepare to bear my wrath," the Demon Emperor said with a cold snort.

The moment the Demon Emperor finished speaking, he suddenly charged forward, a spear materializing in his hand, thrusting straight at Li Yue.

The Demon Emperor's speed was extremely fast; in an instant, he reached close to Li Yue, the spear driving straight for Li Yue's chest.

Seeing the thrusting spear, Li Yue's expression changed slightly; he knew he could not block this strike, so he could only use the Instant Step to dodge, then retreat backward while simultaneously delivering a whip kick aimed straight at the Demon Emperor.

Li Yue's kick was extremely domineering and imposing; if it landed, it would certainly inflict considerable harm on the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor was no pushover; he knew the human before him was strong, but

ultimately, not stronger than himself.

Thinking this, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Human, your attack looks like children fighting in my eyes."

Having spoken, he swung his arm and the spear, blocking Li Yue's attack.

However, while blocking Li Yue's attack, his own strike accidentally grazed Li Yue's arm.

Immediately, blood gushed out, the pain unbearable.

Seeing Li Yue injured, the smile on the Demon Emperor's face grew even brighter; this time he had finally vented his anger. He had said so himself: how could the other possibly be his match?

Watching his own blood slowly drip from his arm onto the ground, Li Yue wore an expression of pain, yet he still did not stop his attacks; he charged forward once more, launching an attack against the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor sneered; a mere human daring to clash head-on with him was truly a suicidal act. It seemed he would have to teach him a good lesson today.

Just then, Li Yue suddenly stopped; he looked at his wound, then took out several potions for healing injuries and gulped them down. Instantly, the wound healed at a visible speed.

Seeing this, the Demon Emperor paid it no mind.

He looked at Li Yue and said coldly, "You should not have tried to show off. This time, I will let you taste my power."

Speaking thus, he held the spear and charged forward once again.

Seeing the Demon Emperor charge again, Li Yue also charged toward him once more.

The distance between the two closed instantly; very quickly, they clashed together.

The Demon Emperor's power was high, already infinitely close to the True God Realm, but Li Yue's power was not weak either; after all, he was solidly in the Demigod Realm.

However, unfortunately, Li Yue was still inferior to the Demon Emperor; moreover, the Demon Emperor had already obtained a fragment of the Demon God's power.

When the Demon Emperor entered attack range, he directly cast the Spatial Transfer Technique, appearing on Li Yue's other side; at the same time, his spear stabbed fiercely at Li Yue's abdomen.

This strike, if it landed, would certainly inflict severe trauma on the opponent's abdomen, rendering him combat-incapable forever.

But just at this critical moment, Li Yue's left hand suddenly shot out, grasping the Demon Emperor's spear.

Moreover, his right fist suddenly rose, smashing a punch at the Demon Emperor.

Bang!

The fist struck the Demon Emperor's cheek.

Immediately, the Demon Emperor's cheek tilted slightly to one side; the next moment, his gaze slowly turned toward Li Yue.

A slight smile curled at his lips as he sneered, "Merely so."

The next second, his right hand twisted hard; the spear directly warped and deformed, turning into a thin snake that then struggled fiercely in Li Yue's hand.

"You are no match for me," the Demon Emperor said arrogantly.

Seeing the Demon Emperor's expression, Li Yue's heart sank.

The opponent's power was terrifying, and moreover, at this moment, Li Yue actually could not withdraw his arm; it seemed he had run into trouble.

Just then, the Demon Emperor suddenly withdrew his right hand, and a massive force immediately surged toward him.

Li Yue's body flew backward, spouting a mouthful of blood; his body traced an arc through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.

Thud

Li Yue slammed directly into the ground, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

The Demon Emperor was completely unharmed and continued walking forward.

Watching the Demon Emperor walk toward him, Li Yue's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Human, kneel now and beg for mercy; perhaps I can still grant you a quick death. Otherwise, I will make you know that living in this world is also a kind of suffering," the Demon Emperor said coldly.

Hearing these words, Li Yue raised an eyebrow and sneered.

"Your words are too naive."

"Just you? Heh."

"Who do you think you are? Just a mere existence at the Demon God level; in my eyes, you are not worth mentioning," Li Yue said mockingly.

The Demon Emperor sneered; he was too lazy to waste words with Li Yue. His wrist flipped, and the spear in his hand thrust out directly, its speed incredibly fast, as if it could pierce through everything.

Whoosh!

Li Yue's figure flashed, dodging aside.

But at this moment, a sharp pain surged from his waist, as if pierced by something, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Looking at his wound, Li Yue knew he had fallen for the trap.

Moreover, he knew his current state was dire.

In that case, he stood even less chance against his opponent, for the Demon Emperor was a True God-level powerhouse, his strength astonishingly formidable.

"Since you refuse to obey me, then die." The Demon Emperor said expressionlessly.

"Do you really think I fear you?" Li Yue sneered.

The Demon Emperor's face twisted into a grotesque grimace.

"Let me see what other tricks you have left."

Having spoken, he lunged forward once more, the spear in his hand seeming to transform into a flood dragon as it attacked Li Yue.
