Chapter 1372: Li Yue's Power

The instant the spearhead touched the ground, an unparalleled force suddenly erupted from within.

This force began to radiate outward in all directions, centered on the spearhead.

Almost at that very instant, all the demon soldiers within a radius of dozens of meters were struck by the force rising from the ground and collapsed to the earth.

Li Yue's steps slowly settled onto the ground as he withdrew the long spear that had been thrust into the enemy's head.

His gaze turned toward the demon soldiers surrounding him.

Immediately after, his feet began to move; wielding the long spear, he thrust directly at one of the demon soldiers.

This strike was incredibly fast; while he had been far away, the moment the demon soldier reacted, Li Yue was already right before his eyes.

Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly and frantically raised his hand, using the great blade in his grip as a shield to block in front of him.

The long spear in Li Yue's hand struck directly against the flat of the enemy's blade.

Yet, something that surprised this demon soldier happened at that moment.

They saw that the long spear in Li Yue's hand pierced through the enemy's blade as if breaking through a sheet of window paper; in that same instant, the spearhead stabbed into the enemy's neck.

With a "puchi" sound, the demon soldier felt a sharp pain in his neck; he tried to speak but instead began coughing repeatedly, and even with the coughing, fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

By the time he reacted, he realized his neck had already been pierced through by Li Yue's spear.

In that moment, he knew he was going to die and thought of making some move before passing away.

Thus, he painfully raised both hands and tightly grabbed the spearhead of Li Yue's long spear.

He thought that as long as he controlled Li Yue's spearhead, he could restrict Li Yue's movements.

However, all these actions were simply foolish to Li Yue.

At this time, the distant demon soldiers also noticed Li Yue's actions at that very moment; seizing this opportunity, they naturally rushed forward to deliver a heavy blow.

Seeing this, Li Yue moved his spear, instantly beheading the demon soldier whose neck had been pierced.

With the same motion, he also severed several of the enemy's fingers, which fell to the ground.

They saw Li Yue sweep his long spear; spear light shot out in all directions around him, and the moment anyone approached, they were instantly pierced into a sieve by him.

Such overwhelming strength placed considerable pressure on the demons.

Yet even so, countless demon soldiers still took their steps, rushing toward Li Yue in a frenzy.

In the distance, several demon generals, upon witnessing this scene, immediately understood that if things continued like this, it would not be long before few demon soldiers remained standing in place.

If that happened, they feared they too would be killed by the opponent.

So, the moment this thought occurred, the several demon generals exchanged glances; they did not utter a single word, but the emotions expressed in their eyes already revealed their thoughts.

Nodding to one another, they made a slight gesture with their hands; they were seen moving off in various different directions.

It appeared that this time, the opponent intended to adopt a strategy of attrition warfare to exhaust Li Yue's combat strength.

Only in this way could they maximize their chances of achieving victory in this battle.

Although the idea was good, Li Yue's strength was at the True God level; such a massive gap in power posed no small challenge for these demon generals.

After piercing another demon soldier with his long spear once more, Li Yue withdrew the weapon from his hand and prepared to launch an attack on the demon soldiers in another location.

Just at that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis coming from behind his body within his mind.

At the same time, his body made a corresponding reactive movement.

They saw Li Yue's feet stomp heavily onto the ground, and his body launched into the air like bungee jumping.

His body, soaring through the air, rotated and adjusted its direction accordingly.

Li Yue's head turned slightly to look at a spot to the side; he saw that among the demon soldiers roughly ten-plus meters away, there was one person whose attire and appearance were completely different from ordinary soldiers.

This person held a sharp curved blade with a thin iron chain attached to it.

As he swung it, the curved blade suddenly came flying toward Li Yue.

Fortunately, Li Yue had discovered the threat early; otherwise, with such a surprise attack, he might truly have been injured.

However, the moment he saw the opponent's action, Li Yue was no longer worried.

The long spear in his hand began to spin and rotate, and the red tassel atop the spear formed a spiral shape as the spear turned.

At that moment, the iron chain connected behind the curved blade was directly and tightly wrapped around Li Yue's spear.

The moment he landed on the ground again, he suddenly exerted force and, like a tug-of-war, pulled the opponent toward his own position.

This slender demon general hurriedly wrapped the iron chain around his own hands and dug his feet firmly into the ground.

He hoped to use the ground to stop Li Yue from dragging his weapon toward him.

But clearly, this slender demon general had underestimated Li Yue's strength.

Li Yue merely exerted a slight amount of force, and the general's body, like the iron chain, began to fall toward Li Yue's position.

Seeing this, Li Yue's lips curled slightly upward; he aimed the long spear in his hand directly at the opponent's location, and from then on, he hardly needed to do anything.

The opponent would impale himself alive upon Li Yue's spear.

However, although Li Yue's scheme was well-laid, there were simply too many sudden changes occurring around him.

Just at that moment, several hidden throwing knives were seen flying directly toward his face.

Seeing this, Li Yue exerted force with his waist, and his body leaned backward.

Those few throwing knives, whose origin was unknown, instantly grazed past Li Yue's face.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

On the other side, several distant demon soldiers, unable to dodge in time, were struck directly in the chest by the throwing knives.

Looking closely, the knife tips had not penetrated the chest area particularly deeply; if treated promptly, there was still a chance of survival.

Yet, as soon as they moved their feet slightly, their faces instantly turned the color of a pig's liver; immediately after, they spat out a mouthful of black blood and, with several "plop" sounds, collapsed dead on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Li Yue's brows tightened; he clearly understood that these throwing knives contained a deadly poison.

If one carelessly got injured, the outcome would likely be dire.
