For a moment, the atmosphere in the space was very tense. No one spoke first about letting him out, and no one launched another attack. In the rare silence, Ji Yuanchi went out alone, not wanting to take anyone down with her. She told Pu Erge to take good care of everyone. Pu Tianyi, who was hiding in the crowd, had not yet had a chance to meet Ji Yuanchi and the others when he received this not-so-good news.
For a moment, he was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and sat there motionless. When he came to his senses and wanted to see where Ji Yuanchi and Brother Pu were, he saw that half of Ji Yuanchi's body was about to disappear from the spot. He immediately got up from the ground and walked in the direction of Ji Yuanchi. In the instant that Ji Yuanchi disappeared, he grabbed Ji Yuanchi's hand and followed him out.
Pu Tianyi was moving too fast; many people didn't even see what was happening. Ji Yuanchi sensed something approaching and opened her eyes to see her troublesome third brother. "Third brother, why did you chase after me? It's so dangerous here! Are you out of your mind?!"
Ji Yuanchi lost control of her emotions. If the timing weren't so bad, she would have given Pu Tianyi a good beating. "You stay here and hide. Don't come out, no matter what happens. Don't try to be a hero. If you come out now, you'll only distract us and won't be of any use, understand?"
Pu Tianyi paused for a moment, then nodded. He turned his head away, unwilling to admit it for a moment. He used to be the one protecting others, but now he could only hide behind Xu Yuehuai and Ji Yuanchi and be protected by others. It was really funny.
Ji Yuanchi's strength was comparable to his. Seizing the opportunity, she rushed towards Xu Yuehuai, catching her as she was sent flying and helping her to her back. Xu Yuehuai's expression changed slightly when she saw her, becoming somewhat unpleasant. "What are you doing here? How did you get out?"
Ji Yuan didn't answer, and Xu Yuehuai didn't insist on giving an answer either; now wasn't a good time to speak.
Ji Yuanchi supported her, and after she stood up, she took her sword and went forward to buy time for Xu Yuehuai to take the pill. Xu Yuehuai did not waste any words, took out a bottle of pills, and swallowed them in one gulp. Her body warmed up and her spiritual power slowly returned.
Ji Yuanchi was weaker than Xu Yuehuai and was no match for the Demon Lord in front of her. "Another little ant has arrived."
The Demon Lord didn't take the two people in front of him seriously at all; all he felt was disdain.
"Demon Lord, how about we make a bet?" Xu Yuehuai stood up from the ground. Her originally black clothes were now covered in blood, and her face was also covered in blood. She looked miserable yet beautiful, with a sense of living on the brink of death. Pu Tianyi looked at Xu Yuehuai from below and believed that she had that kind of strength.
He didn't understand why so many sect leaders and rogue cultivators had failed to defeat the Demon Lord, but he believed that Xu Yuehuai would leave a significant mark on the historical records of the second level!
The Demon Lord said with great interest, "Alright, tell me, what do you want to bet with me on?"
"I'm going to make a bet. Will you survive, or will I? If I win, you will be reduced to ashes and never exist again." Xu Yuehuai's bet was huge. The demon race had many ways to bring themselves back to life, and they were even difficult to kill. Even if they were killed, their souls would remain, allowing them to continue living. That's why everyone was terrified of the demon race.
This is the terrifying strength of the demon race, but there are always those who are indifferent to fear, such as Xu Yuehuai, for whom there is only one path.
The Demon Lord had never met such a boastful young man before, and finding it intriguing, he immediately agreed to the condition, saying with a smile, "Alright, but I have never lost before, little ant, this time, you are destined to lose."
His tone was confident, but Xu Yuehuai was not afraid. He took his silver sword and went to meet him again. A burst of spiritual energy and demonic energy collided, and a series of auras that could change one's expression were released in the air. Pu Tianyi, who was standing on the ground, watched the two completely different spiritual energies explode in the air, and his expression changed unpredictably.
Xu Yuehuai's expression twisted for a moment. The Demon Lord was getting serious. When they fought before, the Demon Lord hadn't been serious. He had just treated her like a little animal to play with. That was why Xu Yuehuai had said those words that would obviously provoke him, making him fight her with all his might.
At this moment, Ji Yuanchi was knocked down and fell from the sky. Just as she was about to hit the ground, a beast flew over from below and caught her steadily. Ji Yuanchi then lay on Bai Ze's body.
After leaving the danger zone, she put Ji Yuanchi down.
Ji Yuanchi took the pill and didn't intend to step forward at this moment. She was waiting for an opportunity, but the opportunity she had agreed to with Xu Yuehuai didn't come. Instead, she witnessed a heartbreaking scene. The Demon Lord didn't play by the rules, or rather, he had never revealed his trump card. They didn't know anything about him.
The Demon Lord appeared behind Xu Yuehuai in an instant, while someone in front of her was even fighting against her. Just as the sword formed from the demonic energy of the handle was about to pierce Xu Yuehuai's body, Ji Yuanchi leaped forward and blocked the attack for Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai heard the commotion behind her, but it was too late. She increased the spiritual power in her hand and struck hard, seriously injuring the demon in front of her. She turned around and watched helplessly as Ji Yuanchi fell from behind her.
She tried to catch Ji Yuanchi, and at the last moment, she finally managed to hug him.
The Demon Lord was severely injured. He couldn't understand why such a young girl could have such great power. She wasn't even this strong back in the Inner World. Why was that?!
Unable to figure it out, the demon knew this place was no place to linger and turned to leave, but was caught by Xu Yuehuai, who had come out to check on him. Without any leeway, Xu Yuehuai sent him to hell.
A silver sword pierced through the Demon Lord's body. His eyes widened, and even as he died, he didn't know who his opponent was or why he had ended up like this.
With the oath of the laws of heaven and earth in place, he had no chance of being resurrected after he died this time. He was unwilling to accept it. Why should he have to leave this place after enduring so many storms and sandstorms underground for only one day? It didn't seem worth it at all.
The Demon Lord escaped, clinging to his last breath. Xu Yuehuai did not pursue him; the Demon Lord was doomed. Her sword was poisoned, and under such circumstances, escaping or using magic would only cause the poison in his body to ferment faster.
