Chapter 86: Despair
Li Yuanqing’s current strength is at the sixth-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm. He also actively signed in every day and obtained many treasures. There were also many cultivation techniques that required actual combat to increase one’s proficiency. However, he did not have any opponents in the Northern Kingdom.
Even the strongest, Zhaoyang and w.a.n.g Xian, could not be considered his underlings compared to him.
An expert was lonely!
Where could he find a sparring partner? It was naturally these demons who had escaped from the catacombs. They were powerful and he wasn’t afraid of killing them easily. Most importantly, with these demons around, Li Yuanqing could easily sign in at the entrance of the catacombs.
These demons were equivalent to giving him benefits and treasures. To Li Yuanqing, the more the better.
Therefore, when Li Yuanqing saw that the stone wall was filled with demons, he looked left and right and chose the most energetic and fierce demon.
Although this demon had been stabbed by the Demon Slayer Sword, he was still in good spirits because Li Yuanqing had avoided his vital points. He cursed at Li Yuanqing after being released from the stone wall.
“Who are you? Don’t you know how powerful I am? I’m the City Lord of the Catacombs’ Sun Moon City. How dare you capture me? You…”
The City Lord of Sun Moon City?
Li Yuanqing sized up this demon that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in front of him. To them, all these demons who escaped from the catacomb were all called demons.
Actually, it was just like how the demons in the catacombs looked at the human world. The demons called them humans, but every human was different just like how every demon was different.
These demon species were a little different from humans. Most of the time, they were similar to some half-human and half-beast creatures. They relied on their bloodline and almost did not need to cultivate to be much stronger than humans.
However, the situation in the catacombs seemed to be very bad. There would be fights for territories, and then cities would be constantly plundered by others. Then, the former vagrants would become city lords.
Of course, it was normal for a defeated city lord to become a vagrant overnight.
This demon was actually the City Lord of the Sun Moon City. He was probably also a defeated city lord. Then, he wanted to take advantage of the recovery of the spiritual energy in the human world and the loosening of the entrance to the catacombs to come to the human world.
However, he did not expect that he would be even more unlucky when he arrived at the entrance of the catacombs. He was thrown into the empty s.p.a.ce in the cave by Li Yuanqing and was beaten up.
The City Lord of Sun Moon City was a ruthless person among demons. He was the first to rush out.
After he was put down, countless pairs of demon eyes looked at him in unison. Their eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation, hoping that he could kill Li Yuanqing and escape. These demons were filled with hope and were even cheering for the City Lord of Sun Moon City despite being injured.
“Kill him. I’ll come down and take a bite later.”
“Injure him and possess his body. Although this body isn’t strong, it’s handsome enough!”
“Kill, kill, kill, tear him into pieces!”
These demons hated Li Yuanqing to the core. At this moment, they wished they could eat his flesh and drink his blood. However, these shouts stopped when Li Yuanqing stepped on the City Lord of Sun Moon City.
All the demons were stunned!
This person was too strong. He had only used one move, how could he be subdued by him? What was that thing in his hand?
All the demons were dumbfounded. Wasn’t the spiritual energy of the human world just recovered? Why was there such a powerful human? He had defeated the strongest demon in one move?
“I’m not convinced. Again, again!” The City Lord of Sun Moon City’s face flushed red as he flew into a rage. He was still shouting when Li Yuanqing stepped on him.
Li Yuanqing laughed. Haha, he loved such sparring partners and whetstones the most! His knife would become sharper and sharper with such a whetstone as a sparring partner.
Moreover, he discovered that the Saint Extermination Stone, which had reached Pinnacle level, could control this demon’s movements for an instant. This instant was the greatest flaw. His opponent could not move. Was there a better chance than this?
Moreover, Li Yuanqing’s Demon Subduing Palm had also reached the Pinnacle level. He took advantage of the moment when the demon was controlled by the Saint Extermination Stone to give him a punch.
The demon who claimed to be the City Lord of Sun Moon City was seeing stars and couldn’t tell directions, but he was still shouting.
“I’m not convinced. Again!”
This was great. Li Yuanqing liked such a tough nut to crack. The Shadowless Art had made him disappear. In the next moment, he held the Clear Sky Sword and slashed the demon the moment he approached him.
This attack almost split this demon into two.
It was only because Li Yuanqing showed mercy that the demon still had a chance to breathe. This time, all the demons hanging on the stone wall were stunned. No one dared to shout or cheer. No one dared to stare down because the Demon City Lord was too miserable.
He was covered in blood and his entire body was about to be split into two. He was on the verge of death. He wanted to shout that he was unconvinced, but unfortunately, he could not say it.
Li Yuanqing sneered and threw the demon to the side of the cave so that he could heal himself. Then, he meditated and cultivated by the entrance of the cave.
The demons hanging on the stone wall looked at Li Yuanqing differently now. A demon, the human below was a demon! They were nothing compared to him. And they were really pitiful.
The next day, Li Yuanqing looked at the stone wall and put down another demon for him to spar with. There were demons hanging on it that did not even dare to blink at Li Yuanqing.
Some demons were studying his cultivation technique and attack methods. They were thinking that they would definitely be stronger than them if it was their turn. Unfortunately, this was only their beautiful wish.
The next day, another demon that was almost beaten to death by Li Yuanqing was thrown to the side of the hole like a dead dog.
On the third day, as usual, although there were demons studying Li Yuanqing’s attack methods, they did not know that the Saint Extermination Stone controlled their actions within a certain range.
Li Yuanqing’s Shadowless Art and Sand Escape Technique could be used to escape, but it could also be used to attack. He would occasionally use the Demon Subduing Palm. Sometimes, he didn’t even need the Clear Sky Sword. He didn’t need the Demon Slayer Sword either.
The demons hanging on the stone walls clearly saw their companions being tortured by Li Yuanqing until they were on the verge of death. Every move he made did not seem difficult to resist.
But when it was their turn, they realized that it was all an illusion.
Li Yuanqing was too fast. However, when they faced Li Yuanqing, it was as if something was holding them back.
They could not keep up with the other party’s speed at all. At that time, they clearly knew what his next move was, but they could not dodge it.
What despair!
