âThe friend who led you astray⦠that was you, wasnât it?â
Li Cheng was at a loss for words. The middle-aged man had flown a hundred miles in the blink of an eye, and it was too late to intercept him, so he had no choice but to communicate through transmission.
Just turning around was enough to lose your way?
Upon hearing Li Chengâs transmission, the middle-aged man hurriedly stopped, saying awkwardly, âMy lord, I didnât mean to conceal anything, itâs just that this is a bit embarrassing.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIs it any less embarrassing now? Youâve charged into the Demon Raceâs camp,â Li Cheng said with a smile.
The middle-aged man was taken aback and only then realized that the area below was indeed where the Demon Raceâs secret sentries were located. Clearly, he had run in the wrong direction again!
But it was already too late. A powerful late-stage Heaven God warrior from the Demon Race soared into the sky, holding a war saber and slashing viciously at the middle-aged man.
Although the middle-aged man had not yet recovered from his injuries and, despite having mid-stage Heaven God cultivation, he could only exert early-stage strength at that moment. Struggling to dodge a fatal blow, he still received a long gash across his chest that was deep enough to expose bone.
The Demon Race warrior didnât give him a chance to catch his breath, slashing across with another blade. The middle-aged man had no way to avoid it.
At that critical moment, a fiery red Big Seal appeared in a flash, sending the Demon Race warrior flying out at an angle, half a shoulder shattered, with terrifying flames burning at the wound.
Naturally, Li Cheng had taken action. A Vermillion Seal struck, successfully extricating the middle-aged man from danger.
Li Cheng appeared beside the middle-aged man, âRunning in the wrong direction again, and failing to detect the Demon Raceâs attack in time. Why arenât you using Divine Sense?â
If he had used Divine Sense, he wouldnât have run in the wrong direction, let alone fail to evade in time.
The middle-aged man sighed in relief and said with a wry smile, âIâm under a curse cast by the Ghost Clan, likely the Soul Burning Curse, so I had to seal my own Divine Soul.â
So that was it.
Li Cheng nodded in understanding and pointed towards Savage City, âSavage City is in that direction, go!â
âItâs too late. I might as well fight alongside you, my lord. If worst comes to worst, Iâll self-detonate my Divine Child to take some demons down with me!â
Below them, a slew of powerful auras surged into the sky. Although they were all Heaven Gods, the convergence of hundreds of auras created rolling Demonic Qi, giving a strong sense of oppression.
Li Cheng glanced at the ascending demons and shook his head slightly, âYouâd better find an opportunity to leave first. Donât hold me back.â
With that, Li Cheng descended deliberately, confronting those Heaven God-level demons.
The middle-aged man was clearly not convinced. He, too, was at a mid-stage Heaven God State of cultivation. How could he be dragging anyone down?
The young man before him was a Demon-suppressing Envoy, but he was also only at mid-stage Heaven God State.
But the next moment, the manâs eyes widened in shock.
Because Li Cheng had made a move. With a single palm press, a nearly solid and immense White Tiger appeared, sweeping with a terrifying killing intent. Those demons were instantly shattered into pieces!
With just one strike, eleven demons were reduced to dust, and dozens more were severely injured.
âUgh? Maybe I really shouldnât be a dragâ¦â the middle-aged man muttered weakly to himself, reining in his aura and retreating.
Li Cheng used the White Tiger Seal to disperse the demons flying up and, like lightning, headed straight for the Demon Raceâs main camp.
Inside were gathered sixteen true gods of the Demon Race. Killing any one of them would complete his mission.
âDoes this human Demon-suppressing Envoy want to rush down and self-detonate?â
âProbably. Otherwise, he wouldnât be so foolish as to dare charge into our stronghold,â speculated the demons.
In the Demon Race camp, a few true gods appeared, watching Li Cheng rush towards them and showing contempt in their eyes.
âActivate!â
Seeing that the distance was right, Li Cheng urged the Array Plate, and suddenly, the Three Thousand Deadly Array activated, completely enveloping the Demon Raceâs territory!
âThis is a third-tier Divine Array. You all join forces to protect every Demon Brat. Iâll deal with him,â sneered a six-meter-tall, burly demon as he shot up into the sky.
For Heaven God Realm warriors, a third-tier Divine Array was undoubtedly a disaster, but for a mid-stage True God Realm demon like him, it was threatening but not fatal.
The other fifteen true gods appeared, jointly employing their skills to shield their camp, avoiding the arrayâs attacks from affecting the Heaven God Realm demons.
To their surprise, Li Cheng didnât rush to drive the grand arrayâs assault but instead threw out a lotus flower.
The lotus flower emitted strong Divine Power Fluctuations, drifting towards the campâs sky. As it floated, petals of dark golden color fell off, seemingly drifting with the wind.
The climbing demon giant, suspicious, caught a petal, âA mid-grade Divine Artifact? Kid, donât tell me youâre planning to self-detonate with a divine artifact? Thatâs naive of you; it wonât work!â
The giant scoffed, his powerful Demonic Qi surged, suppressing the petal in his hand to prevent it from detonating.
But the next moment, a streak of black light suddenly surged from the petal, piercing silently through his Demonic Qi and entering his forehead!
âIgnorance is truly frighteningâ¦â
Li Cheng muttered to himself, and the next second, he activated the Three Thousand Deadly Array!
A myriad of sword beams swept across. The fifteen true gods were well-prepared, and their joint protection was just enough to withstand the sword fury.
But before they could rejoice, at that moment, all the petals flickered with black light, exuding a chilling aura that instantly permeated the Demon Race camp!
Suddenly, those black flashes scattered, targeting the remaining fifteen true gods. With a flash, they were in front of them.
These fifteen demons had cultivation levels at most in the mid True God Realm, and at this moment, they were jointly activating their protection. If they abandoned their shields, the many demons would be ravaged by the sword beams but if they didnât give up their defense, that black light seemed perilous.
With hardly any hesitation, all fifteen demons abandoned the others and used their techniques to fully guard themselves, avoiding being affected by the black light.
