While Li Ming was being attacked, a battle had already ended hundreds of miles away.
Qi Xuanyi, as a master of the Refining Spirit Realm and a half-step Divine Power Realm expert, has already perfected his divine soul, opened up a divine platform, and begun to condense a divine seed. He is only one step away from the Divine Power Realm.
Furthermore, with the help of two experts at the Lesser Completion of the Divine Refinement Realm, he easily killed the demon incarnation and a group of demon warriors.
Seeing the enormous corpse of the demon incarnate, Qi Xuan's eyes were filled with greed, and he began to search.
After a long while, Qi Xuan's face turned extremely gloomy.
"Where's the essence blood...? How could it be gone?"
Demons and monsters are born incredibly powerful without needing to cultivate. Depending on their bloodline, they also possess bizarre demonic arts. Unless one's strength is overwhelming and one has special methods, it is very difficult for a martial artist of the same level to defeat a demon or monster.
After all, demons can easily recover from fatal wounds by exchanging injuries, while humans, without special methods, will die instantly from fatal wounds...
Hunting demons is so dangerous, but many martial artists are still willing to join the imperial court's demon-slaying plan and accept the demon-slaying order because of the essence blood in their bodies.
The value and preciousness of this essence blood far exceed the imagination of ordinary martial artists.
Qi Xuanyi traveled thousands of miles to this remote place because of the precious demon blood essence.
But now that he has killed the demon, why is there no essence blood?
"Lord Qi, now that you've killed the demon, our mission is complete. Let's head back."
A burly man behind him whispered.
In his view, since the demon was dead, that was good enough; if there was no essence blood, so be it...
"You don't know anything!"
"There's no way I could kill a mid-level demon without losing its essence blood, unless I killed the wrong one!"
Qi Xuan was furious. He looked at the person who had spoken and roared.
However, the big man's words made him pause abruptly.
"Wait... have I been tricked? Among demons, there's a type that supposedly has the ability to create clones. Am I really that unlucky to have encountered one?"
Qi Xuan clenched his fist, and a possibility suddenly occurred to him.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuanyi slowly spoke:
"In that case, you two should take care of the demons and warriors around here. I'll go back to the state capital to report on the mission."
After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
"Have I been tricked? Well, since that's the case, then let me kill the demon's true form all by myself. That way, I won't have to split the loot... You might fool me for a while, but can you fool me forever?"
Qi Xuanyi sneered inwardly.
He had previously captured a demon warrior and used his blood as a guide to learn about the demon's true form. By tracking this aura, he was able to determine the demon's location.
He explained that the location of the demonic aura was constantly changing, because the demon had repeatedly used the transformation between its true form and its avatar to conceal its presence.
However, this did not stump him... A drop of mid-level demon blood essence is worth more than hundreds of yuan crystals, and if it is urgently needed by someone, it may sell for thousands.
This is a huge fortune, which is why he was delayed in his attempt to break through to the Divine Power Realm and came here to carry out the mission.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuanyi's eyes became incredibly fervent.
...
On the other hand, they noticed that the other side didn't seem to be at their peak.
"I'd like to see just how capable you are, you demon!"
A cold glint flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and he made his move instantly.
"laugh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ming's figure disappeared from the spot, replaced by a fleeting afterimage and a bright flash of sword light.
The blade moved like a dragon, and the sound of its roar echoed throughout the forest and for miles around.
In that instant, Li Ming's spirit, energy, and mind became one, and he held nothing back, facing the demon's true form head-on. Even he dared not be careless in the slightest, keeping his eyes and ears open, capturing every move of the opponent with his mind.
The moment Li Ming stepped forward and drew his sword, he was enveloped in blood energy and true qi, unleashing the full power of the dragon and elephant.
With a single slash, Li Ming poured seventy percent of his sword intent into it without reservation. The sword light transformed into a tangible, azure dragon that roared as it charged toward Mo Luanqi.
"Such physique, spirit, blood and qi... are indeed not to be underestimated."
As the roaring azure dragon approached, Mo Luanqi couldn't help but become cautious.
If they were in their prime, they could be full of confidence, but now they should be more careful.
"Previously, the demonic power within my physical body was too weak, so I couldn't unleash any powerful demonic arts... Let me show you our strength."
"Mo Luanqi said softly, then raised one hand."
Boom!
An extremely powerful demonic force erupted, causing the world to shift and seemingly plunging into an incredibly deep void, leaving everyone in complete darkness!
Everything is empty; no trace of life can be sensed!
The demonic power surged, colliding violently with Li Ming's strike.
This is absolutely shocking!
Vast amounts of mud and sand surged into the sky, obscuring everyone's view.
This demonic power was incredibly terrifying. If Li Ming's true energy hadn't been exceptionally special, he would have suffered a terrible headache just from coming into contact with this demonic attack.
Even so, under this earth-shattering collision, Li Ming managed to avoid its sharp edge, retreating dozens of feet away.
"I underestimated you. Fine... it's time for you two to make use of yourselves."
Mo Luanqi's eyes narrowed, he sighed slightly, and then looked at the two people beside him.
Li Ming was very strong. In his eyes, the other party could be called a monstrous genius born in this land, who had the opportunity to reach a realm above Martial Saint in the future, and was equivalent to a general among demons.
However, now that he's here, he's naturally not going to let the other party go.
When Mo Luanqi's calm, emotionless voice rang in Zuo Changqiu's and his companion's minds.
"Ah...Sir, please give us another chance, we will do our best!"
Zuo Changqiu trembled, seemingly realizing something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted.
Mu Shengyun looked terrified and was already preparing to retreat and get away from the place.
But they suddenly discovered that the demonic power within them was completely out of their control; what was once a powerful force now seemed to have become a shackle on the two of them.
It has become extremely difficult for them to move a finger or even blink.
Mo Luanqi's training of these demon warriors was certainly not for any good purpose. He could control every drop of demon blood that flowed into their bodies and every bit of their demonic power that increased.
Despite their unease and defensiveness, did they actually want to resist?
That's just wishful thinking. Once you take his things, you become his person.
“You’ve used up a lot of resources, and I’ve given you a lot of power, yet you’re still so useless… This is the end for trash.”
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Li Ming immediately flashed away, not heading towards the demon Luanqi.
Instead, they headed towards the two who were bound.
These two seemed to be the elixirs for Mo Luanqi to recover his strength, so he naturally wouldn't let them succeed.
call!
In an instant, Li Ming took a step forward and appeared between the two of them as if shrinking the distance between them, slashing with his sword without any mercy!
"die!"
