"Besides, Elder Nether Spring is in a good relationship with Elder Blood Robe of the Kingdom of Lion Butchers. Elder Blood Robe has a lot of experts under his command who are best at hunting and assassination. Chances are that Elder Nether Spring will summon some elite soldiers from Elder Blood Robe's side!"
Li Yao sniffed. Elder Blood Robe had a grudge against him, too.
On Boneyard, Li Yao had executed Wang Ji, Elder Blood Robe's disciple. The news must've spread out after Ding Ling Dong and the rest of them returned. While Li Yao was praised as a great hero of the Tian Yuan Realm, he must've been among the top of the must-kill list of the Blood Demon Sector.
Wait. Speaking of which, Wang Ji was not the only important person of the Blood Demon Sector that he had killed.
Li Yao remembered that it was the first time he had received 'Dragon Scale', an Ares Extension. His blood was boiling, and he went on a killing spree, blowing dozens of experts of the demon race into smithereens.
Although the demons were only in the level of demon general, according to the intelligence, those who were qualified to explore Boneyard were all the royal families and nobles of the Blood Demon Sector.
Therefore, it was possible that he had a blood feud with the twelve demon emperors of the Blood Demon Sector.
Li Yao felt that his head was about to explode.
Will Elder Nether Spring send experts in the level of demon emperors to hunt down Jin Xinyue?
Li Yao evaluated the capability of the two parties in secret.
The Pantheon of Demons was governed by twelve demon emperors, but there were more than twelve demon emperors in the Blood Demon Sector. Only the strongest and most powerful among them were qualified to rule the Pantheon of Demons.
Elder Nether Spring was a high-level demon emperor. Naturally, there were some low-level and middle-level demon emperors under his command.
As for the relationship between Elder Blood Robe and Elder Nether Spring, it was not as simple as' friendly '. It was a close relationship of interests.
During the few days of free time, Jin Xinyue had briefly introduced the politics of the Blood Demon Sector and the conflicts among the twelve demon emperors to Li Yao.
Between Jin Tuyi, Jin Xinyue's father, and Elder Nether Spring … It was not a dispute of personal feelings, nor was it simply for the position of the commander of the Coalition Army of Demons. It was hidden behind the two Demon Emperors. It was a collision of political lines and war concepts.
The four superpowers of the Blood Demon Sector were Gold Crow, Nether Spring, Lion Butcher, and Tyrant Sea. They represented the forces of land, sea, air, and underground.
In the face of the decisive battle with the Tian Yuan Realm, two different ideas of war were naturally formed.
Among them, the Kingdom of Lion Butchers, which represented the Claw Clan, and the Nether Spring Kingdom, which represented the Insect Clan, were typical continental doctrines. They believed that controlling the land meant controlling everything. Their tactics were simple and straightforward. It was to invest all the resources on land and use the insect sea and beast tide to push forward from the front line of the Grand Desolate Plains.
The Gold Crow Kingdom, which controlled the sky, and the Sea Dominator Kingdom, which controlled the sea, walked the path of "sea, air, and sky as one". They believed that the boundless sea and the sky, which was even vaster than the sea, were the foundation of victory.
Therefore … While maintaining the pressure on the front line of the Grand Desolate Plains, they should actively explore the second battlefield and attack the rear of the Xing Yao Federation. Attack from the sea!
"To the east of the Xing Yao Federation is a boundless ocean. Five hundred years ago, it was where the 'Far East Demon Kingdom' was located.
"Although the 'Far East Demon Kingdom' has been destroyed, countless relics of the 'Far East Demon Kingdom' are still hidden in the depths of the ocean.
"Build secret military bases at the bottom of the ocean with the relics and push forward to the east coast of the Xing Yao Federation until the time is right. Jump out of the undersea bases with the enormous fleet of the Sea Clan. Carry out an assault on the heartland of the Xing Yao Federation with the powerful air force of the Feather Clan!
"At this moment … The main military forces of the Xing Yao Federation are all stalled in the front line of the Giant Blade Pass. Their rear is extremely vulnerable. If we launch an assault, we will certainly be able to march straight in and even occupy the capital of the Xing Yao Federation! "
This was the strategy proposed by the Sea Clan and the Feather Clan.
In the past, in the Blood Demon Sector, continental militarism had always prevailed. The strategies of the Sea Clan and the Feather Clan were considered absurd and risky.
The 'Battle of Dawn' was launched against such a background. It was a traditional ground war led by the Nether Spring Kingdom and the Kingdom of Lion Butchers.
But the final result was not satisfactory. Although they had reached the front line of the Giant Blade Pass under the scourge of the insects and the beast tides, they suffered a crushing defeat in the end because of the long supply line and other reasons. Some of the bottom-level soldiers even rebelled. Together with the secret encouragement of the Blade of Chaos, the 'Riot of Bloody Blade' led to the Blood Demon Sector. They went for wool but came home shorn.
The incident raised a great earthquake in the power center of the Blood Demon Sector, too. The Sea Clan and the Feather Clan took the opportunity to attack. Many officers who believed in continental militarism were removed from their positions. Even the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons elected by the Nether Spring Kingdom and the Kingdom of Lion Butchers resigned and was replaced by Jin Tuyi, who believed in the ideology of 'sea, air, and sky'.
Therefore, Elder Nether Spring and Elder Blood Robe were not just friends but partners in the same interest group.
If Elder Nether Spring needed help, Elder Blood Robe would certainly lend a batch of elite soldiers to him, regardless of the cost.
So to speak, the enemy will certainly send experts in the level of demon emperors, if not more than one.
Li Yao thought from Elder Nether Spring's perspective. If he were Elder Nether Spring, all the demon kings that he sent out would have been executed, and sending more demon kings would be suicide. For safety reasons, he would at least send one or two demon emperors.
Li Yao's real capability was equal to the middle level of the Yuanying Stage. If he put on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that had been modified, he would be able to compete with those in the high level of the Yuanying Stage. Theoretically speaking, he was not scared of Elder Nether Spring.
However, in the Blood Demon Sector, it was impossible for him to use the strength of a Cultivator in public.
If the Blood Demon Sector discovered that a Cultivator whose capability was equal to that of the Yuanying Stage was active in their heartland, the entire Blood Demon Sector would be shocked and attack him.
When he was faced with a demon king, Li Yao could still slay his opponent instantly without summoning his spiritual energy.
But when he was faced with a demon emperor, it was impossible for him to do so easily.
What he could use at the moment were his newborn primeval cells and his' demonic energy '.
However, he had just grasped the methods to strengthen his cells and awaken his primeval strength. Although his absolute strength was in the level of a demon emperor, he was not adept at the utilization of it. He was essentially a warrior with nothing but brute strength.
Li Yao was indeed a monster, but he was not a god. If he could compete with a demon emperor who had trained hard for decades just because his primeval cells had been activated, his enemy might as well just kill themselves by bashing their heads against the wall.
Therefore, Li Yao estimated that it was already his best to kill a demon king with a well-designed trap without revealing his real capability.
If he ran into a demon emperor in the beginning level, the two of them might be on par with each other, but it was absolutely impossible for him to kill his opponent quickly.
Besides, his opponent had the 'biochemical beast', which was a great weapon. Li Yao's Crystal Suit, on the other hand, should not be exposed to the public.
Li Yao had no choice but to flee with Jin Xinyue.
Very soon, a large cluster of black fog passed over their heads. It was made of a dense swarm of insects, which were squeaking and making their eardrums numb.
Li Yao frowned. Swarms of insects and beast tides were the opponents that he hated the most.
"Awoo! Awoo! "
Prolonged howls were echoing in the forest, both near and far away. They were even more creepy under the illumination of the bloody moon.
Jin Xinyue's face changed color. She said in a low voice, "Judging from the sound, it seems to be the 'Blood Moon Wolf Raiders' of the Kingdom of Lion Butchers. Their olfactory cells have been specially strengthened and are hundreds of times keener than those of sharks. They can smell the tiniest scents from a hundred kilometers away. Their special howls can also transmit a lot of information to their companions through ultrasonic waves that other people cannot hear!
"The Blood Moon Wolf Raiders are the top-tier tracking specialists of the Blood Demon Sector. I didn't know that Elder Nether Spring had really summoned such an awesome troop from Elder Blood Robe!"
Li Yao nodded and vaguely felt that something was not right.
The Demonic Qi that soared into the sky condensed into a huge net in mid-air.
Dense swarms of insects were gnawing the leaves in the forest from the northeast. The howls of the Blood Moon Wolf Raiders were approaching from the northwest, too.
Although no pursuers could be detected from the southeast, cracking noises of trees being broken were echoing nonstop, as if some enormous creatures were crushing them as if nobody was there.
Li Yao and Jin Xinyue could only run to the southwest. However, there was no telling if there were stronger pursuers in the southwest, which was full of venomous gas and swamps.
The enemy's encirclement was getting smaller and smaller. Li Yao even saw pairs of green eyes through the gaps of the trees several times.
It was only because he and Jin Xinyue had both locked their pores and smeared a lot of powder on their bodies that they were temporarily covered. There was no telling how much longer they could last.
"I'll go and fight them in a moment. Don't do anything unless it is absolutely necessary, in case you expose the fact that you have turned into a human being."
Li Yao spoke to Jin Xinyue in a low voice.
He could already tell that a fierce battle was unavoidable.
After pondering for a moment, Jin Xinyue nodded her head. It was not a good time to flatter. She would do whatever the old monster said.
For some reason, Jin Xinyue had the confidence that the old monster would be invincible.
Li Yao sneered and licked his teeth. He drew a sharp bone saber from his waist, on which dozens of mica threads that were as thin as hair and extremely tensile were entangled.
It was never his style to wait for death to come. Now that he had made up his mind to fight, he would certainly strike first!
Right then, an abrupt change took place.
The wolf howls in the northwest were shorter and more miserable, as if they had discovered a large batch of enemies.
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
The whistling sound pierced through the clouds and tore through the sky like a raging tide, rolling over from the northwest sky.
Li Yao couldn't have been more familiar with such sounds. Somebody had broken the sound barrier!
Judging from the sounds, it was not just one but a large group of them!
The bloody sky in the northwest was cut into tiny pieces by hundreds of streaks of golden brilliance.
