Ye Wuchen also grasped the hilt of the sword. He seemed to be standing side by side with Gu Qingxi, but in fact he took a half step forward and stood in front of her.
Others did not notice this tiny detail, but Chu Yunxian, An Qingyuan, Long Qianli, Baili Changfeng, Ji Wuhen, and Lu Tianyu saw it clearly.
But this time, they did not say a word and stood guard beside the little apprentice sister.
"Hahahaha, I'm back, I Ji Li is back again." A low, hoarse and rough laugh rang out in the Xumi space.
On the top of the Wentian Terrace, hundreds of illusory figures flew around like frightened birds, but were imprisoned by an invisible force and could not fly out of the Wentian Terrace three feet away. A
terrified scream followed, like the scream of a resentful ghost.
Then, a towering figure slowly emerged.
He was five feet tall, with muscles bulging high on his body, his legs were as thick and solid as stone pillars, and he was dragging a powerful long tail behind him.
His face resembled a human and a beast, with two horns on his head. When he laughed wildly, his big mouth almost stretched to his ears, revealing two rows of sharp fangs.
Ji Li! Hearing his wild laughter, everyone's heart suddenly sank.
Ji Li was one of the eight demon kings under the command of the Demon King in the legend, and he was also the strongest of the eight demon kings.
In the war between humans and demons, countless human monks died in his hands. It is said that in the end, six human warriors fought for their lives and died with him.
Although the war ended with the defeat of the demons, the legend of the demon warriors was still passed down in Tiancang Continent.
In addition to the Demon King, the most widely spread one was Ji Li, who was known as the leader of the eight demon kings.
Many people believed that if the six warriors had not exchanged their lives for Ji Li's, and died with Ji Li one step earlier, it would be difficult for humans to win the final victory.
Most of the three major continents of humans would also become the territory of the demons. Humans will either be enslaved by them for generations, or they will be exterminated. It was
thought that with the death of all the powerful men
of the demon clan, it would take tens of thousands of years for them to recover their vitality, and they would no longer have the strength to cross the space turbulence and invade the Tiancang Continent. But they did not expect that the demon king Ji Li, who once made countless powerful men in the cultivation world shudder, would appear in front of them again.
"I understand, Leng Yanli pretended to be Ling Yuan to provoke civil strife, not to destroy Xianmiao Sect, but to revive Ji Li with the essence, blood and soul of many powerful men in Xianmiao Sect." Looking at Ji Li's towering figure and his ferocious and brutal face, Yuwen Dingtian said with sudden enlightenment.
Although he tried hard to stay calm, his hand holding the long sword was shaking uncontrollably.
Others also reacted, just as human strongmen can reshape their bodies with their souls, the demons can also revive and be reborn with the devil soul imprint.
However, compared with humans, the spirits of all things, the resurrection of the demons is much more difficult, and they need to absorb a large amount of the essence, blood and soul power of the strong.
After the war between humans and demons, both the demon clan and the human cultivation world were seriously injured, and it was difficult to find enough strong people. Even if there were, Leng Yanli might not be able to deal with them.
The strength of Xianmiao Sect is superior to many immortal families, but there are not many strong people in the realm of tribulation, which is undoubtedly the best choice.
Gu Qingxi knew that Yuwen Dingtian was only half right: Leng Yanli chose Xianmiao Sect not only because their strength was suitable, but also because this secret realm could purify spiritual power.
The physique of the demon king is strong, and Ji Li, as the leader of the eight demon kings, is much stronger than the other seven demon kings.
Although the strength of Xianmiao Sect is good, it is far worse than Ji Li, and it is not enough to revive him.
Only by relying on the mystery of this secret realm and constantly refining their blood, spirit and soul can it be done. It is for this reason that he delayed thousands of years before successfully resurrecting.
Gu Qingxi's previous uneasy premonition also came from this.
"Die, everyone will die, hahahaha..." On the opposite side, Ji Li took a deep breath and laughed wildly again.
All around, the panicked illusory figures suddenly paused.
Everyone clearly saw that a trace of spiritual power was absorbed into his body, and the already tall figure became a few points taller.
A blood-colored giant axe appeared in his hand out of thin air, and Ji Li strode through the void and pounced on everyone.
The entire Xumi space shook violently with his steps.
"Run, run!" The crowd, who were almost frightened by the name of Ji Li, suddenly fled in panic like a pot of boiling water.
At the same time, they drew out their long swords and slashed desperately at the invisible space barrier.
Sword beams fell like raindrops, and the light patterns in front of them were like rippling water waves, but the space barrier was intact.
"Die, die, hahahaha..." Ji Li's wild laughter was getting closer and closer.
"Gu Qingxi, this time I want to see who can save you!" Leng Yanli's soul clone also appeared in the Xumi space at some point, looking at Gu Qingxi with a cold face.
After all, Yuwen Dingtian and others are not ordinary cultivators. They can cultivate to the state of transformation and even fusion. They have all experienced life and death, and their will is much tougher than ordinary cultivators.
Seeing that they could not break the space barrier, they quickly gave up their meaningless efforts, turned to face Ji Li, and raised their swords at the same time, ready to make a last fight.
Of course, they also knew that facing Ji Li, a demon who was so powerful that even the ancient strongmen had to be terrified, they had no power to compete at all. The so-called last gamble was just to make themselves die a little more tragic.
There was despair in everyone's eyes.
At this moment, a figure taller and more majestic than Ji Li rushed straight into the Xumi space and slapped Ji Li on the head.
"Bang!" The wild laughter stopped abruptly, and Ji Li's body suddenly stopped.
Time stopped at this moment, and space also stopped.
"What are you..." It seemed like only a moment, and it seemed like hundreds and thousands of years had passed. Ji Li raised his head and looked at the figure that was taller than himself, and asked in a daze.
But before he could finish his question, his body collapsed and dissipated quickly under the strong wind like a sand sculpture made of fine sand, turning into nothingness...
Yuwen Dingtian and others stared with their eyes wide open, and their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.
That was Ji Li, the strongest man under the Demon Emperor, known as the leader of the eight demon kings, and he was slapped to death like this, and died without leaving any residue!
Finally escaping the catastrophe, they should have been extremely surprised, even crying with joy, but in fact, they were more horrified, and their hearts were beating wildly.
Not far away, Leng Yanli's evil face twitched fiercely, and the sneer was stuck in his throat, but he could no longer make any sound.
The tall figure turned his head to look at him and slapped him again.
"Bang!" There was another muffled sound, and Leng Yanli's soul clone turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
"Food, iron-eating beast!" As this palm slapped down, everyone trembled all over, and finally regained a little sobriety. Looking at the figure as tall as a mountain, an old man rolled his throat with difficulty and said.
The monster in front of him, with a white body and two extremely conspicuous dark circles under his eyes, is not the iron-eating beast, one of the strongest monsters in ancient times?
But who has ever heard of an iron-eating beast that is so huge and so powerful that even Ji Li, one of the eight demon kings, can't stand his bear paw.
By the way, this is actually a curly-haired iron-eating beast.
