Chapter 1169

Before me, the Demon God, no matter how powerful you are, you're nothing but an ant. The Demon God, my lord, needs only a single finger to destroy you.

I urge you to surrender obediently. Whether you surrender or fight, in the end you can only lose. We don't wish to see such a foregone conclusion, yet you insist on this path—don't you think you're being foolish?

The demon-race general spoke while shaking his head.

The demon race—truly a pack of cunning, treacherous creatures.

Li Yue said in a tone of disdain.

The demon-race general's face instantly darkened.

Hmph, are you worried now? Let me tell you, there's no need to worry. The Demon God, my lord, will arrive momentarily. Before him, no matter how powerful or how cunning you are, you're a mantis trying to stop a chariot—you have no chance of escape.

Just obediently await your death.

As he spoke, a victor's pride played across the demon-race general's face.

Heh!

If that's the case, I'll kill you first before anything else!

As he spoke, Li Yue's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already standing before the demon-race general.

The demon-race general felt an icy sensation instantly invade his mind.

He looked up and found Li Yue staring at him with cold eyes.

This time, he felt that Li Yue's eyes were like a deep, frigid pool—impossible to see through to the thoughts buried in his heart.

The demon-race general's heart gave a jolt; he dared not be careless.

His hands slammed violently into the air, and clumps of black mist surged forth in an instant, transforming into countless streams of black fog that scattered in all directions, instantly shrouding the entire space.

Li Yue gave a cold snort, his long sword sweeping out and tearing through space in an instant.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out.

Spatial rifts appeared.

Countless spatial rifts densely surrounded Li Yue, blocking every attack the demon-race general had unleashed outside, without the slightest effect.

The demon-race general's heart jolted in shock.

How is this possible!

The black mist he had released had been easily broken by his opponent—this was his magical power!

Impossible, this can't be.

It's impossible, you couldn't possibly be this powerful!

Could it be…

Countless thoughts flashed through the demon-race general's mind, but he didn't know what to say.

A being as powerful as Li Yue—someone like this was simply not someone they could afford to provoke.

Now the only option was to leave this place as quickly as possible.

Whoosh~ Thinking this, the demon-race general immediately dashed outward.

But before he could get out, he felt his feet go weak, and his entire body pitched forward.

Thud!

He crashed heavily to the ground.

Ouch!

The demon-race general's rear hit the ground, sending a sharp stab of intense pain through him.

But there was no joy in his heart, for only now did he realize he had been immobilized by the magic stone, unable to move at all—like a living corpse, completely unable to mobilize the magical elements within his body, and the magical power surrounding him had also completely slipped from his control.

Now he could only sit in place and watch Li Yue slowly approach.

The demon-race general's pupils were filled with terror.

How could this be?

The demon-race general thought to himself, the color of fear on his face growing ever thicker.

You—how did you do it!

The demon-race general's face was filled with unwillingness and venomous hatred as he looked at Li Yue and asked.

Li Yue wore a faint smile, did not answer the demon-race general's question, only looked at him, and slowly extended his hand to grip his throat.

With Li Yue's squeeze, the demon-race general's neck was instantly twisted and then snapped.

Thud!

The demon-race general's corpse instantly went limp on the ground, blood flowing from his neck as though it cost nothing.

Li Yue, his face full of disgust, tossed the corpse aside, then turned to look at the magic stone nearby.

The magic stone was still glowing. Seeing this, Li Yue inwardly cried out that something was very wrong.

A slap came down.

The glowing magic stone instantly shattered into several pieces.

Li Yue looked at the shattered magic stone in his hand, then at the demon-race general, who was dead as could be.

His expression couldn't help but turn a little strange.

He sighed—looks like from here on, he was going to run into big trouble.

Li Yue was certain the demon race had already discovered his trail, and the Demon God might even come in person to take his life.
