Chapter 1263: Li Yue's Escape Plan

Li Yue naturally did not know the thoughts inside the Demon God's heart; he began adjusting his battle emotions.

Then, his gaze turned toward the Demon God: "Since you already know all this, I suppose we can officially begin now, right?"

"Of course, as you wish."

The Demon God also gave a response without the slightest hesitation.

The two stared at each other in that instant; the next second, they both moved at once.

Li Yue gave a great wave of his hand, and the stones on the ground instantly came under his guidance.

They began madly rushing toward the spot where the Demon God now stood.

Those stones, flying away at such extreme speed, naturally carried no small killing power.

However, to the Demon God, these moves had absolutely no effect at all.

Li Yue's move simply could not achieve much.

With a single motion, the Demon God abruptly vanished from where he stood, and those stones naturally landed on the very spot where the Demon God had been.

Then, the next instant, the Demon God appeared once more—and this time, the place he appeared was right behind Li Yue.

At that moment, Li Yue also reacted swiftly.

His feet moved, and he too sprang into rapid action.

From within the pit came the repeated sounds of weapons clashing.

Only the sounds could be heard; not a single figure could be seen.

Between the rocks on the ground, sudden explosions kept bursting open.

In fact, all of this was caused by the battle between the Demon God and Li Yue, which produced this very scene.

It was precisely because the two were fighting so fast—fast enough that the eye could not follow—that only the sounds of weapons colliding could be heard, with no figures to be seen.

At this moment, the Demon God's offensive surged forth once more; every strike and every move was aimed to take Li Yue's life.

In just the past few minutes, the two had already clashed back and forth no less than a thousand times.

At this point, a hidden danger began to appear.

In the battle just now, Li Yue had deliberately taken a wound in order to observe the Demon God's movements.

Precisely because of this reason, his fighting now began to show obvious strain.

Even the wound on his shoulder had begun to bleed afresh.

If the battle continued, for Li Yue it could only end in certain defeat.

Thinking of all this, a layer of frost gathered on Li Yue's face.

At that moment, the Demon God's movements also paused briefly.

Because he too had noticed the problem Li Yue now had.

"What's the matter? Have you no strength left to fight me?"

The corner of Li Yue's mouth curved into a slight smile, and he said, "Don't be ridiculous. Whether I can keep fighting isn't for you to decide—it's for me. Understand, Demon God?" "Stubborn as a dead duck. If that's how it is, then have the guts to come at me, will you!?"

As the Demon God spoke, he raised his hand and gave Li Yue a light beckoning gesture—clearly a provocation.

Li Yue laughed and instinctively made a move to attack, but at that moment his heart was utterly bitter.

The reason was also very simple.

If the fight truly continued, whether he could even keep his own life was already becoming a question.

Like this, could he still fight?

Of course he couldn't. But if he showed even the slightest sign of retreat now, what the outcome would be for him needed no thought at all.

So, caught in this dilemma, Li Yue rapidly considered what to do.

At that moment, Li Yue seemed to notice the exit of a certain underground cavern below.

In an instant, a faint smile appeared on his face.

How to put it? Li Yue had finally found a way to resolve this situation.

Since he couldn't win, then he'd run.

If he tried to escape by ordinary means, Li Yue had almost no chance at all of slipping out of the Demon God's grasp.

But inside the cavern, the situation was entirely different.

One had to know that within a cavern, the passages were complex and ever-changing.

Finding a person inside was almost impossible.

So, for Li Yue, this was the best chance to escape.

Li Yue slowly rose from his attacking stance.

Seeing Li Yue's guard relax, the Demon God's brow furrowed slightly, completely unable to fathom what this fellow was thinking now. "What's the matter? Given up?" the Demon God asked aloud.

"Giving up is still too early. Demon God, do you dare to take one strike from me head-on?" Li Yue said as he stood up.

Hearing Li Yue's words, the Demon God burst into loud laughter.

"Li Yue, oh Li Yue, do you take me for a fool? That little scheme of yours—put it away. Enough talk, go die."

The Demon God roared, swept out a great hand, and countless streams of demonic Qi instantly erupted from his palm.

In an instant, heaven and earth lost their color; the entire sky was filled with nothing but black demonic Qi.

Li Yue's brows knit tightly, thinking: Could this kid be wanting to use that move again—the one that plunged me into darkness? If that's really the case, then things are bad.

Thinking this, in that very moment Li Yue unhesitatingly formed an idea: strike first and gain the upper hand.

He was seen giving a heavy slap with his great hand, that palm striking the ground with force.

Then, countless clouds of dust on the ground began responding to Li Yue's call.

The ground was seen beginning to surge like water.

And at the spot where the Demon God stood, in the sky the demonic Qi formed a demonic pool, and countless demonic pools began spinning like whirlpools.

Like a black hole, they converged one by one, finally forming a vortex of colossal size.

And within the vortex, countless weapons began to slowly emerge.

With a wave of the Demon God's hand, instantly, in the sky, countless weapons headed straight for Li Yue's position.

Seeing this, Li Yue did not hesitate for a moment; he raised his hand and pointed toward the Demon God's location.

Suddenly, the soil beneath his feet also surged upward.

A deluge of soil rose toward the sky, and instantly, the two sides clashed.

Countless sharp blades instantly sliced through the defense formed by the soil, heading straight for Li Yue's position.

But something unexpected happened.

The Demon God's attack missed completely, and Li Yue's figure was almost nowhere to be seen.

"What!? Where is he?"

The Demon God's expression changed; his gaze swept the surroundings. At that moment, he saw a figure heading toward a deep underground cave in the distance.

Watching Li Yue's action, the Demon God immediately realized what the other intended to do.
