Chapter 853: The Generous Li Zhangsheng (First Update, requesting everything)

However, upon careful observation, one could see this massive lump of flesh writhing, though the movements were so slight that they were difficult to notice.

The Seven-Headed Infant had not died; with its powerful vitality and recovery ability, as long as it still had a breath left, it could recover from even the most severe injuries.

Not far away, there were three other larger lumps of flesh, though it was difficult to identify what they were just from their appearance.

Unlike the Seven-Headed Infant, they had no signs of life and were completely and utterly dead.

There were also two petite Demon Pets that had survived; perhaps because of their small size and speed, or perhaps because their companions had shielded them, in any case, these two petite Demon King-level Demon Pets had not only survived but had not even lost their ability to continue fighting.

Besides them, the toilet-shaped treasure was riddled with craters from the explosion, and its lid had been blown away by the shockwave to a distance of over a thousand meters.

At this moment, Zhao Yuanqing was in a miserable state; it was likely that a few Great Demons could take his life.

"Heavenly Dual-Pupil Bird!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the Heavenly Dual-Pupil Bird condensed a ball of light, which hovered in mid-air.

The next moment, a dense rain of light fell from the ball of light, completely enveloping a radius of one hundred meters.

Zhao Yuanqing lowered his guard; he could see that this was a skill for recovering from injuries.

Under the nourishment of the light rain, the Seven-Headed Infant, which had turned into a lump of flesh, began to writhe violently. After a few breaths, a bloody head poked out from the flesh.

The Demon King-level Red Dragon opened its mouth wide, bathing in the light rain, which allowed it to catch a few more breaths.

The Dragon Python remained in a coma, and it was unknown when it would wake up, or if it would ever wake up at all.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen landed on the ground, specifically keeping a distance from Zhao Yuanqing to avoid any misunderstanding.

Zhao Yuanqing was currently at the end of his rope; if the two approached, it would likely trigger his wariness.

"Bitter King, are you alright!"

"This old man is fine. This time, thanks to the help of you two, otherwise, it would have been impossible to keep Xida A'erhan. By the way, may I ask for your honorable names?"

Xida A'erhan was the name of the Flame Demon. Of course, this could not be its true name; the Abyss was very unique, and if other demons grasped its true name, the consequences would be severe.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen looked at each other and briefly introduced themselves.

"So it is the Langya Twin Prides, no wonder you are such talents!"

Zhao Yuanqing said with a face full of admiration. Although he was much older than the two, even in his prime, he might not have been much stronger than them, let alone now.

It was also at this moment that a streak of Mysterious Yellow Qi descended, splitting into three portions—two large and one small—on the way, falling toward the three of them respectively.

According to the amount of effort contributed, the distribution of the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi was naturally different.

Among them, Ning Bizhen received the least, accounting for about twenty percent, followed by Li Zhangsheng with over thirty percent, and finally Zhao Yuanqing with nearly fifty percent.

It did not exceed Li Zhangsheng's expectations that this cluster of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi was less than ten percent of what he had obtained last time.

After obtaining the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, Zhao Yuanqing immediately infused it into the body of the Demon King-level Red Dragon.

Like a long-awaited rain after a drought, the Demon King-level Red Dragon clearly breathed a sigh of relief, and its condition was significantly better.

However, the blood and Qi within its body were still burning, though the momentum had been largely halted. This made Zhao Yuanqing feel extremely anxious; if this continued, the Demon King-level Red Dragon would still face death.

He had already lost three Demon King-level Demon Pets; if he lost the Demon King-level Red Dragon as well, the loss of strength was a minor matter, but his current state was the main issue.

Once he lost another main Demon Pet, Zhao Yuanqing's already meager lifespan might be completely exhausted.

Just as Zhao Yuanqing was anxious, Li Zhangsheng suddenly waved his hand and infused that cluster of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi, which he hadn't even warmed up yet, into the Demon King-level Red Dragon's body.

Zhao Yuanqing looked at Li Zhangsheng in surprise. He did not expect that someone would not care about the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi and, without asking him for any favors, would gratuitously give the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi to him.

"Many thanks!"

After a moment, Zhao Yuanqing was naturally extremely grateful and hurriedly thanked Li Zhangsheng.

At this time, Ning Bizhen subconsciously wanted to do the same, but was stopped by Li Zhangsheng, because he could feel that the Demon King-level Red Dragon had already pulled through.

Besides, Ning Bizhen did not possess a large amount of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi like Li Zhangsheng; although this small cluster was not much, she might need it someday.

This time, Li Zhangsheng gave away the Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi mainly to pave the way for the future; the significance of a smooth exchange and a forced seizure were naturally different. The latter was unjustifiable, and furthermore, in the process of seizing it, it would inevitably cause great damage to the already limited vitality of the Dai Kingdom.

Because of Li Zhangsheng's generous act, Zhao Yuanqing initially let down his guard and recalled all his Demon Pets.

"Without further ado, let us hurry back to the fortress. I wonder how things are over there?"

Zhao Yuanqing was still concerned about Hurricane Fortress; if Hurricane Fortress fell, even if he killed the Demon Commander, the entire Dai Kingdom would still be plunged into a Demon Disaster.

Demons running wild everywhere were the most terrifying!

The next moment, the three of them flew rapidly toward the direction of Hurricane Fortress.

Even though all of Zhao Yuanqing's Demon Pets were severely injured, he was, after all, a veteran King, and his speed in traversing the void far exceeded Li Zhangsheng's.

Of course, it was still inferior to Aixi and the Great Sun Fire Crow by quite a bit.

Fortunately, they had not strayed too far from Hurricane Fortress, so Zhao Yuanqing was not left far behind.

Upon seeing the situation at Hurricane Fortress, Zhao Yuanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a few more smiles inevitably appeared on his wrinkled old face.

Most demons were opportunists who were adept at fighting when the wind was in their favor, scrambling to seize benefits. But once the wind turned against them, they ran faster than anything.

Ever since Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen forcefully slaughtered several Great Demons and caused the Demon Commander to flee, the demons who were about to conquer Hurricane Fortress stopped their original actions one after another and immediately fled in all directions in their own ways.

Demons also had a strong herd mentality, and they were already selfish to the extreme; after discovering that the situation was unfavorable, they naturally prioritized saving their own lives.

Thus, the defenders of Hurricane Fortress achieved victory in such an inexplicable way.

For a time, some people collapsed limply on the ground, some wept while holding the corpses of their comrades and relatives, and more people cheered loudly, venting the pent-up frustration in their hearts.

In this battle, the losses of Hurricane Fortress were heavy, but fortunately, the Demon Commander was killed, leaving the demons leaderless in the short term, making it impossible for them to stir up much trouble again.

However, the Dai Kingdom's loss of Stronger was severe, and Zhao Yuanqing had to continue to sit in command at Hurricane Fortress; otherwise, if a few Great Demons came, others would likely find it difficult to resist.

"Old Ancestor!"

Upon seeing Zhao Yuanqing, a look of excitement appeared on Zhao Rui's face, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him; after all, this was his old ancestor, and the significance was naturally different.

"I didn't expect that another Pseudo-King would emerge among my descendants!"

Upon seeing Zhao Rui, Zhao Yuanqing could not help but smile. Now that the Dai Kingdom was in a precarious situation, having one more Pseudo-King could appropriately reduce some pressure.
