Chapter 1262: Fight Again From a Different Position

At this very moment, it was obvious that Li Yue's thinking was right.

Originally, the Demon God had deliberately lured Li Yue away in order to kill the others.

But now that Li Yue had spoken to such an extent, everything began to be just a little bit different.

As the commander of the demon race, the Demon God possessed his own pride.

And now that Li Yue had uttered such words, if he truly did nothing, then the Dangzhen Society would lose face before countless subordinates.

This was the situation an emperor was most unwilling to face. "Bastard, if you've got the guts, don't run!" he roared.

As his voice fell, his hand clenched, and the long-handled axe he had just abandoned seemed to hear the summons.

Then, with a whoosh, it flew and landed in the Demon God's hand.

Without any hesitation, the Demon God shifted his toes slightly, and in an instant his whole body shot off in the direction Li Yue had left.

At this time, quite a few people finally eased up a little.

They slowly climbed up from the battlefield that had become ruins, staring blankly at the people around them. "What just happened? How did it suddenly go dark?" someone asked.

Many people shook their heads, while some powerful experts had caught a glimpse during the fight between the Demon God and Li Yue.

They then briefly explained to those around them.

"It wasn't the world going dark just now — it was the aftershock from the battle between Lord Chenxi and the Demon God."

"Heavens. Just the aftershock alone has already changed the surrounding battlefield beyond recognition. If their target had shifted to us, wouldn't we have died on the spot!?" "Right!? Fortunately, our great Lord Demon God, thinking of our demon warriors, took that damned Lord Cheng Xi far away to fight." When the words reached this point, the atmosphere turned slightly off.

They glanced at each other, and immediately realized that the one who had answered their question was not their own teammate, but those damned demons.

The demon side also noticed this problem.

The brief silence that had just fallen was, in that instant, turned completely upside down.

Almost in an instant, the faces of everyone around changed, and the next moment they were once again locked in vicious slaughter.

Some people, unable to care about face at all, simply switched into a street-brawler fighting mode.

You kick me, I punch you; when the weapon in hand is gone, pick up a stone from the ground and smash it down. If there isn't even that, just open your mouth wide and bite.

In short, anything that kills you is the best method.

Thus, the battlefield began to descend into utter chaos.

Almost at this moment, as long as the clothes of the person beside them weren't their own side's color, they killed them on the spot without a second thought.

For this battlefield, it was chaotic — so chaotic it felt a little unserious, even a little comical.

But for Li Yue, his battle was one that no one dared relax in.

At this moment, Li Yue's pace had only slowed by a single step, and the Demon God behind him was already within reach.

The Demon God came treading through the air, his altitude dozens of meters higher than Li Yue's current position.

"Li Yue, give your life here!"

Looking down from above, the Demon God let out a roar and charged straight down.

His whole body was like a meteor falling from the sky, heading straight for the Demon God.

His speed was so fast that Li Yue barely had time to react before he was already at his side.

That enormous axe came straight down right above Li Yue's head.

Li Yue had no time for extra thoughts, and could only raise his hands, gripping his sword tightly with both hands.

He held the sword horizontally in front of him, using it as a shield.

In an instant, their weapons clashed once again.

But this time it was in midair. Because Li Yue was positioned below, and the Demon God was attacking from above,

at this moment Li Yue's whole body immediately plummeted down along with it.

A crisp boom rang out.

On the ground, a huge crater appeared before their eyes.

In the deep pit, Li Yue was pinned hard beneath the Demon God, who immediately mocked: "Li Yue, oh Li Yue, weren't you being quite the tough guy just now? What now? Pinned under me and can't get up?"

Li Yue showed not the slightest change of emotion at the Demon God's mockery.

Instead, in that instant he was thinking of a way to break out of his current predicament.

He was seen giving the ground a heavy slap with his palm.

A magic circle appeared beneath him.

The Demon God sensed something was wrong, his face changed slightly, and in an instant he chose to leave his current position.

The moment he left where he had been, dozens of enormous stone pillars shot up from the ground, surging straight toward where he had just been.

Fortunately his reaction was relatively timely, and he suffered no injury from Li Yue's attack.

The Demon God's toes lightly touched down on a high point, looking down at Li Yue from above.

And at this moment Li Yue also gained a brief moment to catch his breath.

He stood up from the ground and dusted himself off.

The Demon God watched his movements without launching any attack at this moment, instead curiously sizing the other up.

The Demon God asked: "Li Yue, I'm a little curious — just now, how did you detect my existence? Logically speaking, you shouldn't have been able to see me. It couldn't have been instinct, could it? I don't believe in that sort of thing."

Li Yue hadn't expected there to be something the Demon God didn't know.

He smiled and said: "The reason is simple — just take a look at yourself and you'll know."

Hearing Li Yue's words, the Demon God instinctively glanced at his own armor.

Suddenly, a thread of red, sharp as a needle, stabbed into his eyes.

On the Demon God's armor, a patch of fresh blood was clearly visible.

And this blood was none other than Li Yue's.

Because the black armor was stained with Li Yue's blood, it was like a drop of ink on white paper.

People's attention, in that very first moment, would fall on the ink rather than the white paper.

This also explains the Demon God's original confusion.

The Demon God laughed lightly: "So that's how it is. Then I can rest easy."

The reason he could rest easy was that he had assumed Li Yue possessed some ability he himself didn't know about.

But now that he knew, all of it had originally been nothing more than a little cleverness Li Yue had put on display.
