Chapter 1184: Failed Ambush

It turned out that at this very moment, the battle between Li Yue and the Demon God had unknowingly shifted from within the valley to a cliffside.

Below the cliff lay a turbulent river.

Using the force of the Demon God's punch, Li Yue's body suddenly shot downward toward the cliff.

At that moment, seeing Li Yue's actions, the Demon God immediately realized what the fellow was trying to do. Anger flashed in his eyes as he shouted, "Damn it, where do you think you're running?" Before the words fully left his mouth, his knees bent slightly.

The instant his knees bent, the ground beneath the Demon God's feet instantly sank deeply, even cracking into numerous fissures and crevices.

As the Demon God stepped forward, his body surged violently toward Li Yue's current position.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the Demon God moved, he ultimately could not catch up with Li Yue, who had already moved a step ahead.

With a splash, Li Yue plunged straight into the turbulent river.

The river water was swift, and this location was right at the base of a waterfall.

Yet after Li Yue's body plunged into the water, his figure was never seen again.

Following this, the Demon God also plunged into the water.

He wanted to pursue Li Yue, granting the enemy not a single chance to escape.

However, things often go contrary to one's wishes; in the turbulent river, even the Demon God himself could not stabilize his own body.

Let alone searching for Li Yue's form in the dim, lightless state.

Helpless, the Demon God shook his hands, and instantly the water flow at his location ceased, creating a vast empty area for a moment.

Within that area, no trace of Li Yue's figure was visible.

Seeing this scene, the Demon God's anger instantly boiled within him.

Only at this very moment did he finally understand one thing.

The person he sought had likely already fled out with the river. "Li Yue, you bastard, aaaaaah~~"

The Demon God's furious voice instantly spread throughout the entire mountain forest.

Countless birds and sparrows took flight immediately due to the Demon God's roar.

At this time, the Demon God was extremely angry, yet he had absolutely no solution.

He wanted to pursue Li Yue.

But the river's channels were intricate and complex, with many unknown forks and routes; even if he followed the river to search, where should he go?

He certainly couldn't say he would check every single channel, could he?

If he did that, not to mention the time and effort wasted,

just in that amount of time, Li Yue could have already escaped from under his hand thousands of times without any problem.

At this very moment, the Demon God was forced to face a problem.

Li Yue had truly escaped from his grasp once again.

At this time, the Demon God recalled something, and his expression instantly changed.

"Not good! Could it be that...?"

The moment a rough idea formed in his mind, the Demon God leaped away, leaving the river channel.

Instantly, the previously stopped river water, now free from the Demon God's obstruction, returned to its original state.

The Demon God arrived once again at the edge of the valley.

At this time, the valley, due to the battle between himself and Li Yue, had long since become a state of being riddled with holes.

On the periphery, countless Demon Army troops were waiting for the Demon God's return.

But when they saw the Demon God's figure descending from ten thousand meters in the sky, many Demon soldiers immediately cheered.

"It is the Demon God, my lord! Has the Demon God returned?"

"What? The Demon God has returned? Does that mean the battle is already over?"

"Demon God, Demon God, how did the battle go? Are you unharmed?"

"That is simply nonsense; how could anything happen to the Demon God?"

For a moment, everyone asked about the battle between the Demon God and Li Yue in a chaotic clamor.

At this time, the Demon God had absolutely no mood to respond to his subordinates' questions.

Instead, with a serious face, he asked, "After I left, did anything happen within the valley?"

"This..."

Hearing the Demon God's question, many Demon soldiers did not immediately grasp what exactly the Demon God was asking.

At this moment, the Demon God simply explained, "Did the people trapped within the valley make no resistance or attempt to break out?"

Hearing the Demon God speak thus, the Demon soldiers present finally understood what was going on.

Nodding lightly, they replied, "Demon God, since you left, there has been almost no movement inside the valley, and the armies from the other directions have not reported any news of a sudden attack..."

Hearing this news, the Demon God felt no joy; instead, he slightly furrowed his brows.

If this were truly the case, then it meant Li Yue had abandoned his subordinates and fled alone?

If this were truly the case, then such behavior was completely unlike the Li Yue he knew.

The Demon God's brows furrowed; almost at this moment, all the Demons present felt the change in the Demon God's emotions.

They dared not say much, standing in place and silently waiting.

At this moment, the Demon God suddenly spoke.

"Issue the order: the entire army advances into the valley. Kill anyone found on sight; do not seek my opinion." "Yes, Demon God."

"Issue the order: The Demon God commands, the entire army advances into the valley; kill any enemy encountered on sight." "The entire army advances into the valley; kill any enemy encountered on sight."

For a moment, the entire Demon Army became chaotic due to the Demon God's single sentence.

The great army began sweeping toward the valley.

Almost every hidden corner was searched thoroughly.

Even the earthworms in the ground were dug up with the earth turned three feet deep.

One can imagine how extensive such a search was.

The Demon God, however, frowned tightly, and an ominous premonition burst forth in his mind.

3.7 As time passed, the sweep range of the Demon Clan's great army began to shrink rapidly.

And in the process, they made no discoveries whatsoever.

For a moment, a bad premonition loomed over everyone's heart.

At this very moment, everyone, including the Demon God, hoped to see the figure of an enemy appear.

Even just one would do.

But facts often go against wishes; until several armies met face-to-face, no one else had appeared.

This meant that the enemy in the valley had already fled while everyone was completely unaware.

And all the Demons knew that their trouble was great.

But after reporting this news to the Demon God, as expected, the response was a series of harsh curses.
