Chapter 748: The Abnormal Great Demon
Li Yi roamed the battlefield at this moment, where no one dared to confront his sharp edge. Great Demons and Cultivators could only flee in panic because they knew very well that if they encountered Li Yi, death was certain.
Yet they wanted to run, but Evolvers wouldn't allow it, frantically entangling them, making it impossible for them to escape and creating opportunities for Li Yi to kill them.
A Red Gold Divine Light slashed from a distance, tearing through the firmament, targeting a mid Mahayana Stage Cultivator.
This Cultivator had planned to escape this battlefield, but was interfered with by He Zhiming, missing the best chance to flee. When Li Yi's attack came, this Mahayana Cultivator could only roar and curse in unwilling anger.
However, it was all in vain.
The Red Gold Divine Light swept past, and this powerful Mahayana foe instantly collapsed, leaving not even bones behind.
"Li Yi, well done." He Zhiming, wounded all over and panting, couldn't help but shout when he saw such a crisp and decisive blow that easily killed this Mahayana Cultivator.
Li Yi didn't respond. He stepped on Xiangyun and had already flown away to another battlefield.
He Zhiming wasn't idle either; he immediately flew towards the nearest comrades to continue supporting others.
This is the chain reaction.
Every time Li Yi killed an enemy, not only were the Evolvers relieved of danger, but they could also free their hands to support others.
In a one-on-one situation, Evolvers might not have been able to match Great Demons and Mahayana Cultivators, but with two or three people working together, it might not be the case, especially now that many on the battlefield have begun to flee.
In just a moment, this war seemed to be over; there were only a few still fighting and killing.
Li Yi looked around and surprisingly couldn't find any enemies at the moment.
"Have the remaining ones run away?"
He subtly shifted his gaze, sensing the ambient aura between heaven and earth, discovering that many enemy auras had already distanced themselves from the battlefield, scattered in various places.
Moreover, some auras were gradually disappearing.
Evidently, Mahayana Cultivators were trying their best to hide themselves to avoid being discovered.
"Li Yi, nothing's here, I don't need support."
Liu Yunbai stood in mid-air at this moment, with three comrades nearby, and on the ground lay a dismembered Great Demon corpse.
Although quite distressed, the four had won this local battle working together just moments ago.
"The battlefield's enemies are almost gone. They've fled." Li Yi stopped on the Xiangyun and said.
Liu Yunbai paused for a moment, then scanned the nearby battlefield with his Divine Sense, confirming the situation. Immediately, he said, "Have they fled so quickly? Li Yi, don't worry, the war won't end until it's been at least twelve hours after starting; during this time, they don't dare to escape the battlefield, or strong players from the three sides can directly kill any deserters."
"We have eleven hours to slowly hunt them down, they can't escape."
"So that's how it is, that's good." Li Yi nodded slightly.
No wonder their aura still lingered on the battlefield, it turns out they didn't want to run but didn't dare to.
"But to hunt them down, you must be careful, approaching the direction of Xuanxian Continent or the Demon God Realm's base, I'm worried Human Immortal Realm's Cultivators and Demon Kings might interfere..." Liu Yunbai then whispered.
"Li Yi, if the enemy is too close to the base, don't go over. If they act dishonorably, it'll be dangerous for you. So after this battle is completely over, we should gather our squads, check our numbers, then go hunt, you should retreat near the Black Great Wall."
He planned meticulously, not wanting Li Yi's top combat prowess to encounter trouble, so after ensuring that this war could be won, Li Yi shouldn't show up again.
"Alright, I understand. I'll take another look around, and if there are no enemies, I'll retreat to rest."
Li Yi nodded slightly, not continuing to show off, because Liu Yunbai indeed made sense.
If the opponents got furious, should a Demon King or Immortal intervene, it'd be disastrous.
"Wait."
Just as Li Yi was about to leave, Liu Yunbai suddenly turned and looked in another direction, immediately saying, "Li Yi, something's wrong, a Great Demon is rushing over here, and it seems the target is you."
"I feel it, a strong Demon Qi, should be a peak Great Demon, but the opponent is alone, and under the circumstances of victory, one peak Great Demon can't stir up trouble, I'll go cut him down."
Li Yi gripped the Red Gold Shattering Star Spear, ready to confront the Great Demon.
"No, Li Yi, don't bother with this Great Demon, keep some distance, in this situation, if a Great Demon doesn't flee but actively seeks you out, there's definitely a problem. I'll take some comrades to intercept, see what's happening."
Liu Yunbai's gaze shifted, stopping Li Yi while calling on three comrades, and immediately flew towards the distance.
"Be careful, I will support you from afar."
Li Yi didn't refuse the goodwill, his figure flickered, turning into a mist of clouds, vanishing while concealing his aura. At the same time, he put away the spear and took out the Treasure Moon Bow, ready to act at any moment.
Liu Yunbai and three powerful Evolvers only flew forward a short distance when they saw a White Elephant Great Demon, murderous intent soaring, coming head-on. However, this Great Demon had previously gone through a battle, its aura fluctuating and its demonic power severely depleted.
"The opponent is the Great Demon Treasure Elephant, one of the three leaders of the Demon God Realm this time. Previously, it was Ye Jingtian who blocked him, but now he's killing his way over, could it be something happened with Ye Jingtian?" Liu Yunbai frowned.
"No time to investigate Ye Jingtian's situation now, this Great Demon indeed looks suspicious, ignoring others along the way, seemingly heading straight here, perhaps truly targeting Li Yi." Said an Evolver beside Qi Xiong.
"The enemy's condition isn't good, so the four of us should surround and kill him here, don't let Li Yi show up, lest something really goes wrong." Another Evolver said.
They weren't battlefield novices; their combat awareness was far from low.
"Alright, let's move." Liu Yunbai nodded slightly.
The next moment.
The four joined forces, and the cosmic energy within their bodies burst forth, flickering on the battlefield like stars.
Despite the severe exhaustion, they gave it their all, delivering a peak strike, hoping to crush this Great Demon with the power of four.
"Get out of the way."
The Great Demon Treasure Elephant saw the four Evolvers blocking his path, becoming extremely furious. He didn't have time to waste with these people right now. He raised the large club in his hand again, and terrifying demonic power poured out, transforming into a white divine elephant that trampled mountains and rivers under the intertwining Dao Traces.
This divine elephant roared, and divine power erupted, confronting the four.
Boom!
Just as the battlefield was about to fall into calm, a disturbance erupted again. Energy and demonic power clashed, causing a massive explosion in this area, threatening to destroy everything.
"Be careful."
Liu Yunbai hurriedly defended against the vast aftermath.
The battle strength at the peak of a Great Demon was indeed terrifying. Even though Liu Yunbai, Qi Xiong, and the other two Evolvers were prepared, they were still blown away by the opponent's demonic power, spitting a mouthful of blood as they were thrown back together.
Fortunately, the injuries they sustained were minor, posing no threat to their lives.
"The opponent indeed has a problem, eager to defeat us, exploding with full force right away. But unfortunately, despite us four joining forces, he can't take us down." Liu Yunbai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression calm.
As the aftermath dissipated.
The Great Demon Treasure Elephant, seeing the four unscathed, became extremely angry. He hadn't found Li Yi yet and couldn't afford to be delayed here, as more Evolvers were flying in this direction. If it continued like this, he would be surrounded and killed by them.
Previously, Great Demons were the ones surrounding and killing Evolvers, but now he found himself in such a situation.
Trying to lift his club to kill once more, he found that his demonic power was nearly exhausted.
After consecutive battles and the previous peak strike, the Treasure Elephant had no strength left to fight.
However...
Feeling the three terrifying Demon King's Power within him, the Treasure Elephant's lips curled into a cruel smile.
Since these people insisted on clinging to him, he might as well use a Demon King's Power to kill them all; after all, two Demon King's Powers should be enough to kill Li Yi.
At this thought.
Suddenly, a bright radiance emerged from the Great Demon Treasure Elephant's body. This radiance soared into the sky, transforming into a bright full moon, spilling murky, silver-like light across the land.
However, the radiance carried endless killing intent and danger.
Liu Yunbai, Qi Xiong, and the two other Evolvers instantly felt a frantic warning from their souls, sensing a terrifying lethal crisis emanating from the bright moon above the Great Demon Treasure Elephant.
"This isn't the strength a Great Demon should possess; it's the aura of a Demon King..." Liu Yunbai was utterly shocked, immediately shouting, "Retreat, evacuate, don't hesitate, the opponent has borrowed the Demon King's Power."
Before he finished.
They swiftly scattered, giving the opponent no chance to gather for a total wipeout.
At the same time, Liu Yunbai felt immense relief, realizing his previous suspicions were correct. This Great Demon indeed had issues; that strike was definitely not meant for him but most likely prepared for Li Yi.
"Don't think about running, all of you, die..." the Great Demon White Elephant roared. He used a portion of the Demon King's Power, determined not to leave without taking these Evolvers down. If not for their obstruction, he might have already found and killed Li Yi.
But at this very moment.
Suddenly.
A Divine Light shot from a distance, flashing in.
It was an arrow imbued with terrifying power, unstoppable, not even the Treasure Elephant at the peak of Great Demon could withstand it.
The arrow pierced through.
The Treasure Elephant's massive, robust body exploded instantly, its shattered head dissipating with a look of bewilderment, no longer angry but still astonished.
As if unable to comprehend how it could be defeated so effortlessly.
"It's Li Yi who intervened." The retreating Evolver Qi Xiong sighed with relief at the scene.
Only Li Yi could so easily take down a peak Great Demon on the battlefield.
"Li Yi intends to kill the Great Demon White Elephant to prevent the use of Demon King's Power, a good strategy, but that bright moon seems not to have dissipated." Liu Yunbai's unease lingered.
Because the terrifying Demon King's Power was still present.
No, that's not right.
It wasn't just one Demon King's Power; there were two Demon King's Powers.
Soon, they noticed at the site of the shattered Great Demon Treasure Elephant corpse, two extreme glows remained, each exuding the aura of Demon King's Power, yet they hadn't been triggered and posed no threat for now.
