Behind the gap, there was another world. It was a spacious underground cave with many twists and turns. At the end of the cave was a cluster of darkness. No one knew where it led to. ¢
It was so cold in the cave that every drop of water would freeze into ice. Stalactites were everywhere above his head. Light gray vines were wriggling weirdly like dancing snakes.
As soon as Li Yao entered the cave, he activated the stealth mode and minimized his spiritual energy. At the same time, he covered himself with a camouflage cloth and stuck close to the wall of the cave, letting the vines wrap around him.
A moment later, banging noises came from the entrance of the cave, followed by a pungent smell. More than a hundred demon beasts were squeezing in!
In the darkness, the eyes of the demon beasts were particularly bright and ferocious.
They all seemed to understand that Li Yao had nowhere to go. Therefore, they weren't in a hurry to kill him. Instead, they sharpened their claws and searched inch by inch. There was even a hint of playfulness in their eyes.
Li Yao didn't move at all. His heart was burning with anxiety. When the claws of an Inferno Wolf were about to touch him, a murderous intent that could tear everything apart finally came from the depths of the cave. A burning rainbow slowly appeared in his peripheral vision.
The mutant lion dragon had shown up again!
Li Yao was relieved. But then his heart was in his throat again.
Under the siege of more than a hundred demon beasts, he would definitely die. The reason why he had entered the cave was that he wanted to lure the mutant lion dragon, the third force, to disrupt the situation and fight for a chance of survival.
However, would the mutant lion dragon really have a conflict with the demon beasts as he wished?
Or perhaps, the Mutant Lion Dragon was so powerful that it would kill the hundred or so demon beasts in a second, and then crush him to death as if he were a bug?
"Wild demon beasts have a strong sense of territory. They won't let go of any intruder. Unless the gap in strength between the two parties is too big!
"The mutant lion dragon must have been seriously wounded in the battle just now. Otherwise, it wouldn't have fled to the underground in such a hurry!
"As long as the gap in strength between the two parties isn't too big to be reversed. The mutant lion dragon and the wild demon beasts may have a conflict! "
Li Yao was looking forward to it.
He stole a glance at the mutant lion dragon and found that the mutant lion dragon was much smaller than the last time he saw it. Its body was covered in wounds, its wings were full of holes, and the rainbow light on its tail was much dimmer. It didn't look like a demon king at all.
Furthermore, in the middle of its forehead, there was an extremely sinister snake-shaped dagger. Like a living creature, it kept wriggling like a small snake trying to drill into the mutant lion dragon's head.
The strength of the mutant lion dragon seemed to have been sealed by the living dagger. Every time the dagger twisted, it would cause excruciating pain, which made the mutant lion dragon twitch uncontrollably.
"Soul Seizing Nail?"
Li Yao secretly clicked his tongue. The shape of the snake-shaped dagger gave off a strange aura. It was similar to the "Soul Stealer", an evil magic weapon recorded in the ancient books of the Hundred Smelting Clan. Once it drilled into the brain of a mutant lion dragon, the mutant lion dragon would have no choice but to obey the control of the Soul Stealer.
"There are experts in refining among the demon race, too!"
Under the erosion of the Soul Stealer, the mutant lion dragon was even weaker than Li Yao had thought.
The mutant lion dragon and the hundred wild demon beasts. They found each other at the same time.
The wild demon beasts were shocked at first, and their natural reaction was to run away.
However, the extremely weak aura of the mutant lion dragon puzzled them. After careful observation, they found that something was wrong.
Hundreds of wild demon beasts. Looking at each other in bewilderment, they communicated with each other silently.
The flesh of the mutant lion dragon contained tremendous demonic energy, dragon blood, dragon marrow, and demon core, which were all rarely-seen treasures in heaven and earth. They were much more precious than the flesh of Li Yao, a Refinement Stage Cultivator.
Eating Li Yao would only improve their strength a little. They were just venting their anger.
If they could drink the heart blood of the mutant lion dragon or swallow its demon core, they would be greatly benefited. Chances were that they could evolve.
For a moment, these wild Demonic Beasts couldn't make up their minds. Should they retreat, or should they recklessly charge forward and try their luck?
"Hoooooo!"
Before they could make up their minds, the rainbow light jumped into the crowd and smashed the head of an Iron Armor Boar with its claw. It dug out its heart and started chewing.
The mutant lion dragon had taken the initiative to attack!
The wild demon beasts were unlucky. The mutant lion dragon had been chased by the demon infiltration team led by Young Master Wang Ji for several days and nights. It had accumulated a lot of anger, and now it was at its most violent moment.
Besides, it was heavily wounded, and its strength had plummeted. The Soul Stealer had drilled into its forehead, which sealed most of its strength. Its soul had been eroded, and it was in great pain.
The wild demon beasts were like delicious meals delivered to its mouth. As long as it swallowed all of them, it would be able to recover some of its strength and continue its escape, or even launch a counterattack.
After all, the expert of the demon infiltration team was also wounded by it, and his situation was not much better.
"Hoooooo!"
"Awoo!"
"Hiss!"
The wild demon beasts all went crazy!
They all knew that the mutant lion dragon would not let them go. Although it was strong in appearance, it was weak in reality.
If they flinched, they would be killed by it one by one!
If they fought, they might be able to get its demon blood and demon core!
This idea flashed through the minds of the wild demon beasts, who were born for fighting. It was like a raging fire that made their blood boil, and they all rushed forward!
"Pa!"
A centipede that was thicker than a python was torn apart by the mutant lion dragon's claw and thrown to the wall of the cave.
But before it died, it spurted out a cloud of yellowish-brown poisonous fog, which covered the mutant lion dragon's eyes.
"Crack!"
A giant bear as majestic as a hill, with a grimacing pattern of white fur on its chest, was hit by the mutant lion dragon, and its bones were all broken.
In the meantime, the giant bear's paws hit the mutant lion dragon's ears heavily. Li Yao, who was hiding not far away, felt his ears humming because of the deafening noise.
Li Yao's camouflage cloth was better than nothing. Whether it was the mutant lion dragon or the wild demon beasts, if they really wanted to find him, they would definitely be able to find him.
However, the two sides were engaged in a bloody battle. The mutant lion dragon was too focused on devouring its opponent's flesh to care about Li Yao, a small shrimp in the Refinement Stage.
Li Yao tiptoed, pushed aside the vines in the softest way, and dashed toward the entrance of the cave.
He looked up. But he was complaining in his mind.
It turned out that a few wild demon beasts were afraid that he would run away, so they blocked the entrance of the cave.
Li Yao had no choice but to crouch in a corner of the cave.
While he was crouching, the situation of the battle took a weird turn.
The mutant lion dragon and the wild demon beasts were evenly matched. Both sides suffered great losses!
In a short time, more than half of the wild demon beasts were slaughtered by the mutant lion dragon.
But the demonic aura around the mutant lion dragon seemed to have been extinguished by the storm, and it was very weak.
It was covered in wounds. Many wounds were bleeding, and corrosive venom was still seeping into its body.
The rest of the wild demon beasts were even crazier. They jumped up fearlessly, just to tear off a piece of the mutant lion dragon's flesh.
"The strength of this mutant lion dragon has fallen to the level of a mid-level demon general, and it's still falling!"
"I still have a chance!"
Li Yao shouted in his mind. Carefully observing the weakness of the mutant lion dragon, he silently recalled the moment when Jin Dan and Long Wenhui used their saber techniques.
There was only one chance. There was only one trump card left, and he must grasp it!
Finally —
The last Tranquil Lunar Wolf was caught by the mutant lion dragon and was about to claw it to death.
The strength of the mutant lion dragon also fell to an unprecedented level, and it was only at the level of a low-level demon general.
The snake-shaped dagger on its forehead. More than half of it went in, leaving only a small tail outside. At first glance, it looked like a strange red dot.
The strength, physical strength, perception, and demonic energy of the mutant lion dragon all fell to the bottom.
Li Yao took a deep breath. Brain cell activity: 180%!
230%!
280%!
331%!
Super perceptive state, activated!
The Bloody Blade Battlesuit was instantly covered by a crimson battle robe, which was emitting dazzling bloody brilliance.
He jumped out of the camouflage cloth and accelerated to the maximum speed. Every component of the Crystal Suit was making "Ka Ka" sounds, as if they couldn't bear the enormous tearing force and were about to explode.
"Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa!"
Six streaks of red light shot out from the crystal railgun, which were aimed at the vital parts of the mutant lion dragon. At the same time, the saber seemed to be swung at the void!
A cluster of white mist silently blossomed in the cave, and a moment later, the sound of the saber breaking through the air was heard.
Li Yao's saber was faster than the speed of sound!
The mutant lion dragon, whose strength had fallen to the level of a low-level demon general, couldn't ignore the crystal railgun. It instinctively jumped to the left and fell into the position and angle that Li Yao had calculated earlier!
The saber that was swung at the void was now aimed at the heart of the mutant lion dragon!
Or as if the mutant lion dragon was itself, it crashed into the edge of Li Yao's saber that had broken the speed of sound!
"Pu!"
The saber pierced deeply into the mutant lion dragon's body and directly cut open its heart!
The mutant lion dragon's eyes were wide open. It was about to explode when the Soul Stealer on its forehead completely drilled into its brain.
For a moment, the mutant lion dragon shuddered and was dumbfounded.
Its soul was fiercely fighting with the Soul Stealer for the control of its body.
Li Yao took the opportunity to pull out his saber and roll away.
A moment later, the mutant lion dragon roared and waved its claws and teeth crazily. The strong wind raised by it rolled Li Yao up and smashed him into the wall of the cave.
It was a pity that its strength had plummeted due to the heavy injuries it had suffered. The strong wind was like an arrow at the end of its flight.
The sweep only made Li Yao vomit blood and his sternum cracked, but it wasn't fatal.
The mutant lion dragon was like a drunkard dancing. It staggered for a few steps in the center of the cave and finally fell down.
The rainbow-like luster in his eyes gradually dissipated, turning into a hazy gray.
"I killed a king-level demon?"
Li Yao felt like he was in a dream.
The mutant lion dragon had been heavily wounded by the infiltration team of the demon clan, and its strength had dropped to the level of demon general.
Then, it had fought hundreds of wild demon beasts. Its body was covered with wounds and its blood was running dry. Its strength had plummeted again and again.
More than half of its demonic energy had to deal with the Soul Stealer that had drilled into its forehead. Even before its death, it was still fighting with the Soul Stealer for the control of its body. Therefore, it was unable to complete the critical strike before its death.
Due to all these coincidences, he had taken advantage of the situation before Young Master Wang Ji.
"I wonder if Young Master Wang Ji would go crazy if he found out that the king-level demon he was eager to tame was killed by a Refinement Stage Cultivator, and that he was the one who caused it."
Li Yao's lips curled into a smile.
He was not an open-minded person. Since this Young Master Wang Ji wanted to take his life, he would not be courteous to him. He would not stop until he was dead!
