As soon as Du Juetian finished speaking, he raised his dragon-headed cane and attacked Jin Li with his powerful demonic power.
Jin Li tapped the ground with his right foot and flew backwards swiftly, but the huge difference in realm between them prevented him from dodging Du Jue Tian Lao's attack at such a short distance, forcing him to take it head-on. Blood immediately dripped from the fingertips of his left hand, and a gash in his left sleeve tore through the flesh, exposing the jagged bones.
Neither the Demon Lord who was nearby nor the human cultivators who were miles away had expected this to happen.
Du Jue Tian Lao roared, "Jin Li, why did you give the Qilin Horn to someone else?! Didn't you say that you needed the Qilin Horn to comprehend and break through, so I handed this precious treasure to you?"
Six years ago, after returning from the Far North, Jin Li traveled deep into the demon realm and found Du Jue Tian Lao. He had come with only one purpose: to borrow the Qilin Horn so that he could gain deeper insights and attempt to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage.
Du Jue Tian Lao felt deeply guilty towards Jin Li. Demon Lord Cang Ruo had once been a great mentor to him, yet he had watched helplessly as his descendant suffered humiliation without offering a helping hand. Now that Jin Li had spoken, though hesitantly, Du Jue Tian Lao offered the Qilin Horn to Jin Li, instructing him to guard it carefully.
In fact, Du Juetian Lao also set some restrictions on the Qilin Horn. He asked Jin Li to leave a trace of breath on the Qilin Horn so that Jin Li could use the Qilin Horn. Only he could control the Qilin Horn.
This matter is kept very secret. Looking across the Xuantian Continent, the only two people who know that "the Qilin Horn is in Jin Li's hands" are Du Juetian Lao and Jin Li.
But now, the Qilin Horn was shining brightly on the formation under everyone's feet!
Du Jue Tian Lao angrily erupted with boundless demonic power. Jin Li remained calm, transforming into his original form, a giant silver-white dragon swiftly streaking through the clouds. Du Jue Tian Lao immediately gave chase, the two of them looming in the drifting mist, tumbling and dancing.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Although he is a divine beast, Jin Li has only reached the late Mahayana stage of cultivation, while Du Juetian Lao has already reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation stage.
Leveraging the divine beast's powerful body, Jin Li dodged fatal attacks time and again, but Du Jue Tian Lao's attacks were deadly, clearly considering Jin Li an enemy. After a clear dragon roar, Jin Li was accidentally struck in the abdomen, immediately leaving behind a stream of blood.
Looking at this scene, the Red-robed Demon Lord on the ruins of the withered mountain suddenly clenched his fingers, shouted angrily, and raised his long whip, saying, "Old Master Dujuetian, get off here!"
As soon as the words fell, a red figure rushed into the sky, confronted Du Jue Tianlao, and blocked his attack towards Jin Li.
The demon cultivators were inherently stronger than their peers. Although they couldn't harm Du Jue Tian Lao, Mo Qianqiu was still able to hold his own. The battle lasted for a full half hour before Mo Qianqiu was sent flying by Du Jue Tian Lao's blow, crashing into the ground and creating a ten-zhang-deep hole.
The next second, Mo Qianqiu flew into the air again, curled his red lips, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, and sneered: "Come again!"
As the two fought, Jin Li had already regained his human form. He covered his bleeding abdomen with his uninjured right arm and staggered between the two tribes, neither left nor right. To the left lay the bewildered demons, to the right the bewildered humans. Jin Li wiped the blood from his mouth and stood in the middle, impassive.
Looking at this scene, Yu Qingzi, for some unknown reason, threw out a jade bottle and said, "Here is a seventh-grade Tianxuan Qi-recovering Pill. Take one, then take out another one and crush it and apply it to the wound. It will stop your injury."
Jin Li took the jade bottle and used it to heal himself.
For a time, the Far North was divided into five forces.
First of all, there is the human force headed by Taihua Mountain. They came here without knowing what to do or the direction.
The second is the forces headed by Broken Soul Sect, Bai Family, Divine Sword Sect, etc. They want to seek revenge on Luo Jianqing, and even if they have to be torn to pieces, they will die together with Luo Jianqing.
The third is the demon clan led by Du Jue Tian Lao. Their goal is the same as that of Duanhun Zong and others: to kill Luo Jianqing.
The fourth is the Demonic Palace headed by Mo Qianqiu. Their intention is very clear, to protect Luo Jianqing and go against the world!
The fifth one was the demon lord Jin Li, who had just been injured by Du Jue Tianlao and seemed to have betrayed the demon clan in private.
According to Du Jue Tian Lao, he had given a treasure like the Qilin Horn to Jin Li, but Jin Li gave it to Luo Jianqing instead. Jin Li had only been back in Xuantian Continent for seven years, so why did he meet Luo Jianqing and give him this item?
Judging from Elder Du Juetian's attitude, it seemed that the Qilin Horn could not have been snatched away by Luo Jianqing; it could only have been given away by Jin Li. If that was the case, why would Jin Li do such a thing? Could it be that... he and Luo Jianqing were on the same side?!
It was for this reason that Yu Qingzi gave Jin Li the Tianxuan Qi-recovering Pill to help him heal his injuries.
Gazing at Jin Li's wound, which was still struggling to stop bleeding, Venerable Yuqingzi pondered for a long time before whispering, "Divine beasts are known for their formidable bodies, and their ability to recover far surpasses that of ordinary humans. Logically, even without the Tianxuan Qi-Restoring Pill, Jin Li should have been able to stop the bleeding within a cup of tea. Why did it still take him a quarter of an hour after using the Tianxuan Qi-Restoring Pill..."
Yu Qingzi's voice was so low that only Mu Tianxin could hear it. As an alchemy practitioner, Mu Tianxin analyzed, "Could it be that Demon Lord Jin Li is injured?"
Yu Qingzi shook his head: "That's not right. Xin'er, your cultivation is still low, so you can't see... Jin Li's strength has actually declined compared to decades ago."
There are so many questions that no one can answer.
