Hundreds of flying swords and numerous meteors rushed towards Yu Chen one after another, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye. Startled, he could only concentrate on using the seal in his hand to block the flying swords and meteors, and could no longer pay attention to Liu Lingying and Li Gan.
Using these two supernatural abilities in succession was almost too much for Liu Lingying, who was at a high level of cultivation. She quickly took out a pill and swallowed it, took a deep breath to regulate her internal energy, and then ran towards Li Gan.
The distance of a dozen or so feet was very short, and she could reach him in an instant. Liu Lingying ran towards the man sitting cross-legged with a complicated expression. A breeze blew through his hair and clothes, and billowed the blood-red cloak behind him, making it flutter loudly. If one ignored the wrinkles between his brows and the fine lines on his face, he still looked the same as before, just as she had when she first met him.
I vaguely remember many years ago, on the most lively Qixi Festival in that Magpie Bridge Town, one of his men stirred up trouble, not only verbally harassing a beautiful woman but also insulting her husband. The man fought back in anger, but how could he possibly defeat his subordinate?
She couldn't stand it, so she drew her sword and beat his subordinate so badly that he fled in terror. He watched silently from the side, his hands behind his back, a smile playing on his lips.
At that time, he and his two subordinates must have used a magical artifact to conceal their demonic aura in order to pass through the Xuanyuan Barrier and arrive in the Central Plains. That's why she couldn't tell that he was a demon and her nemesis.
And then, she fell in love with him.
Even after learning that he was the current young master of the Demon Clan, she still followed him to the Demon Realm without hesitation because of her deep love, all for the sake of marrying him, staying with him for life, and never being separated from him.
Perhaps recalling the first time she met him, that spirited and arrogant young man with a wicked and swaggering smile, the icy coldness in Liu Lingying's eyes slowly receded, replaced by a hazy sadness.
Soon, Liu Lingying was only a few feet away from Li Gan; she only needed to take two more steps to touch him. Meanwhile, Yu Chen was caught in a hail of flying swords and meteors and couldn't break free at all.
Suddenly, the vortex on the Chi You Banner began to spin rapidly and spread outwards, causing the hole at the center of the vortex to grow larger quickly. From within it, bursts of arrogant and conceited laughter suddenly rang out.
A massive amount of demonic energy emanated from the Chi You Banner and surged in all directions, blocking Liu Lingying's path like a raging wind. In the midst of that demonic energy storm, Liu Lingying had no choice but to stop and instinctively shield her eyes with her hand so that she could keep them open.
The next moment, blurry black shadows began to rush out of the void at the center of the vortex, until all eighty-one demonic spirits had rushed out, and then the vortex gradually shrank and slowly disappeared.
As the gale gradually subsided, Liu Lingying quickly lowered her hand and looked up. She saw eighty-one black phantoms floating around the Chi You Banner, laughing wildly and saying something that sounded very chaotic.
Upon seeing the current scene, Liu Lingying's face turned ashen.
The eighty-one illusory figures were all tall men. Their bodies seemed real yet illusory, but their auras were arrogant and carried a power capable of destroying the world. They looked so invincible.
They moved their arms and legs in the air, shouted a few provocative words in twos and threes, and then all flew down.
Upon seeing this, Liu Lingying quickly stepped back.
Eighty-one demonic spirits surrounded Li Gan. At that moment, Li Gan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with weariness. To use his own demonic power as a conduit to connect the space within the Chi You Banner with the portal to this world, allowing the eighty-one demonic spirits to come here, was a drain on his demonic power, even with his late-stage Demon Lord cultivation. He looked pale, exhausted, and nearing complete collapse.
When Li Gan opened his eyes and saw the eighty-one demon spirits, a hint of joy appeared on his tired face. He quickly stood up, but because he had used too much magic power and stood up too quickly, he felt dizzy and staggered.
After a brief moment of darkness, his vision cleared quickly. Li Gan surveyed the assembled demon spirits, bowed deeply, and proclaimed, "Junior Li Gan pays respects to all the demon spirits!"
"No need for formalities, brat!" A demon god waved his sleeve and said arrogantly, "Where are the righteous dogs? We've been trapped in this flag for ten thousand years, and we're utterly bored. Now, all we want to do is kill dogs!"
Li Gan's lips curled slightly, and he said with a wicked smile, "As you demon gods wish, this city is full of righteous dogs, and you demon gods can kill to your heart's content!"
"good!"
The eighty-one demon spirits were overjoyed. They shouted a few times, then turned and flew off in twos and threes in all directions.
