In the gloomy depths of the earth, the sound of a waterfall rang out endlessly. The underground river surged down, gathering into an underground lake in the large cavern. A small island protruded from the centre of the lake. "Swoosh!"
Zhuo Zhibo and the seven Black Wolf guards surrounded Li Qingshan in the centre of the island. Every single one of them sneered. Ge Jian said, "Don't tell me this kid has lost his mind from fright!"
"Don't waste your breath on him. Hurry up and kill him!" A Black Wolf guard said impatiently.
Xie Nande said, "Yeah, commander. We still have to chase after those mohist disciples."
"I have my plans!"
Zhuo Zhibo seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. He raised his hand to signal the Black Wolf guards to quiet down. He said to Li Qingshan, "Do you regret becoming enemies with me now? If you had come to Jiaping and behaved a little more politely, I wouldn't have to kill you, right? If you're willing to kneel and beg me right now, I might spare you. "The absolute mental advantage he felt when he faced weaker enemies always made him feel very comfortable.
Li Qingshan lowered his head and looked at the insignia on his Black Wolf uniform. "The insignia on this is a wolf, not a dog!" Seeing how the seven Black Wolf guards were furious, he raised his hand. "Don't be angry. There's nothing wrong with being a powerful person's dog, but I just don't like it."
A cold glint flashed across Zhuo Zhibo's eyes. With a casual wave of his hand, the sharp knife was once again held in his palm. "Before I kill you, I have a few things to ask you. If you are willing to answer honestly, I will let you die a little more painlessly …"
"Don't worry. You don't need to say anything. I'll give you a painless death," Li Qingshan interrupted with a vicious smile. The fangs in his mouth seemed particularly long.
Zhuo Zhibo suddenly felt a powerful, terrifying daemon qi erupt from Li Qingshan, kicking up a whistling gale in the cavern. The Black Wolf guards raised their hands in fright as they stared at Li Qingshan in disbelief.
Li Qingshan tore off his Black Wolf Robe, revealing his sturdy chest. His bronze-colored skin gradually darkened, and there was a hint of steel luster. His eyes lit up with two red lights, and his black hair turned scarlet, draping over his shoulders. It continued to grow downwards, three feet, five feet, seven feet … but no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch the ground. His aura also continued to rise until it reached the peak. ("")
Li Qingshan looked down and said to himself, "It seems to have grown taller again!" The medicinal pills he had eaten these days were not in vain. His height was about twenty-seven feet, and he was about to break through the three-foot mark. Standing there, he was much taller than a two-story building. His body seemed to be cast from black iron, and he exuded an immovable might like a mountain.
Zhuo Zhibo's eyes widened. He said in disbelief, "You're a daemon! That's impossible!" Li Qingshan had only joined the Hawkwolf Guard after being examined by Wang Pushi and Gu Yanying. With their cultivation, how could they not discover Li Qingshan's true body?
However, he suddenly remembered that the important figure of the Ruyi commandery possessed the bloodline of daemons in the first place. However, because her bloodline was just too sacred in Great Xia, even more noble than many of the royal clans, many people often forgot about this. Was this part of her scheme?
From a certain perspective, his guess was not wrong, but it was not some scheme. Instead, it was just a misunderstanding. He sighed for a moment, but it was all a sudden. If Gu Yanying wanted to set up some scheme, even the current Li Qingshan did not have the right to be a part of it.
"Commander, what do we do!?" Ge Jian said in a panic. He could clearly sense that Li Qingshan only needed to extend his hand right now, and he could crush him to death. When he thought about how he had always provoked something as terrifying as this, he felt a lingering fear.
"I understand now. That's how you killed Zhao Liangqing and Qian Yannian." As Zhuo Zhibo said that, he had already stabilised his mind. Li Qingshan was not the Daemon General he originally believed him to be. Although he could assume a human form, he was only a sixth or seventh layer Qi Practitioner. He was not completely invincible.
Li Qingshan suddenly understood why the great antagonists in stories would always spout nonsense, including Zhuo Zhibo from earlier. It was because the feeling of power that came from grasping the situation in one's hands was just too great. It was easy for him to think clearly.
However, with so many counterexamples before him, he still had to hold back his emotions. He said with a deep, metallic voice, "You've guessed correctly …" He raised his left foot, or perhaps his left hoof, in a seemingly unintentional manner before stomping down with great force. The Sacred Hall
His innate ability, the Ox Demon Tramples!
"Jump!" Zhuo Zhibo was the first to sense that something was amiss. He leapt into the air. Most of the other Black Wolf guards were veterans of the jianghu, so their reactions were not slow either. True qi surged from their feet, and they all shot into the air like rockets.
Only a third layer Qi Practitioner Black Wolf guard reacted a little slower. Just when he wanted to leap up, the shockwave had already reached his feet and spread through his entire body. Several hundred of his bones immediately shattered, and his skin became riddled with cracks. He exploded with a bang.
Zhuo Zhibo and the other Black Wolf guards looked down in fright, but they were not looking at the dead Black Wolf guard. Instead, they looked at the entire island. With a great rumble, the island shattered, cut into countless pieces by countless cracks. At the centre was the bottom of Li Qingshan's right foot.
The lakewater surged violently, swallowing the rock and soil. Li Qingshan crushed the island with a single stomp, sinking it. It formed several hundred vortexes of various sizes. Li Qingshan stood on the waves, gazing up between the vortexes with his scarlet-red eyes.
Zhuo Zhibo gripped his dagger firmly. What kind of terrifying power was this? It was not something a regular daemon possessed!
If he was no different from regular daemons, why would Li Qingshan need to practise the Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength? With his recent days of cultivation, he was close to breaking through to the second layer of the Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength. He could feel his strength grow by leaps and bounds again. Although the ability became more difficult to practise and required more and more resources, the power it brought was greater and greater.
Little Ann hid at the bottom of the surging water. Her lips curled into a smile, but she was in no hurry to strike, as she could sense that Li Qingshan was currently in high spirits. He needed some release.
Li Qingshan said with some pity, "This move doesn't seem to be very useful. Let's try this move!" He sucked in a deep breath and roared at the sky.
The Tiger Demon's Slaughter's Howl!
The sound waves shook up the surroundings. The wind swept through the air like blades. It was countless times more powerful than the wind blades from the Wind-entwining blade.
Zhuo Zhibo's expression changed. "Oh no!"
Before the wind had arrived, the sound had arrived. The two Black Wolf guards at the very front clutched their heads in pain. Their true qi had basically dispersed, and they were about to fall out of the air. However, in the next moment, they were reduced to a bloody mist by the gust of wind that followed closely behind, scattering through the air.
The howl echoed through the cavern for quite some time. The other Black Wolf guards barely managed to return to their senses from the shock of the sound waves. When they saw this, their hearts completely sank.
The enemy in front of them was not something that any of the enemies they had encountered in the past could compare to. As long as they were struck by it, they would be smashed into pieces and consigned to eternal damnation. It was impossible for them to even think about getting injured and escaping.
Li Qingshan said, "That's not a bad move!" It should be described as a good combo. The enemy had been forced into the air by the Ox Demon Tramples. Even Qi Practitioners would be unable to move, so they could not dodge the Tiger Demon's Slaughter of the Tiger Demon's Howl.
Li Qingshan was killing his subordinates wantonly in an almost experimental manner. Zhuo Zhibo was both surprised and furious, and he even felt a sliver of fear. He had never thought that a hunt he had been so confident in would actually reverse the roles of the hunter and the prey. It had become a one-sided slaughter by Li Qingshan.
This kid is even more dangerous than the Zombie Daoist. If I don't find a way to turn the situation around, even I'll be in danger today.
Zhuo Zhibo quickly chanted an incantation. He separated his hands and pulled out a ball of fire. The flames surged into a scorching dragon of fire, illuminating the entire cavern as it let out a long roar. It lunged towards Li Qingshan with its claws and fangs. He had already used his full strength in this strike. It could not be compared to when he was in the Hawkwolf Guard. Even if he could not heavily injure Li Qingshan, he had to turn the situation around and gain the upper hand.
Li Qingshan completely ignored the incoming flames. He extended his claws and grabbed the dragon's neck.
The dragon's roar came to a halt!
Zhuo Zhibo was not surprised. Instead, he rejoiced. He practised the Bing Fire Method of Qi of the Five Elements. It could ignite his true qi and turn it into scorching flames. All fire techniques seemed to be assisted by a god of fire. This was true qi that was extremely suited for battle. Its destructive power was only second to the Geng Metal Method of Sharpness, and its destructive power over a large area might even surpass it.
The temperature of the flames could even melt steel in an instant. Since he was bold enough to grab it with his bare hands, he'd better leave a hand behind! However, his smile immediately froze.
Under Zhuo Zhibo's control, the fire dragon struggled desperately in Li Qingshan's hand. The flames on its body grew more and more intense, almost to the point where it shone with a golden lustre. However, it was still firmly trapped under Li Qingshan's hand.
Red light flashed through Li Qingshan's eyes. He closed his hand forcefully, and the fire dragon turned into countless shattered sparks, drifting through the air. "The same move is useless against me." However, it did not even leave behind a burn mark on his hand.
The five elements reinforced and countered each other. His daemon qi was of the water element, so it just happened to suppress fire. The daemon qi of daemons completely surpassed the true qi of humans in terms of quantity, so extinguishing Zhuo Zhibo's flames was nothing difficult.
The four remaining Black Wolf guards used this opportunity to launch their full-powered attacks. They knew they were facing death, so every single one of them used their full strength. Low grade or even mid grade talismans turned into flames, wind blades, and lightning as they shot towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan said, "Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell!" A faint, blue barrier of light protected him. Not a single attack managed to penetrate the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell and reach him.
All of the Black Wolf guards despaired. How were they supposed to defeat an enemy that they could not even touch?
Zhuo Zhibo was filled with regret. He did not have any irreconcilable grievances with Li Qingshan. If he had known this earlier, why would he have turned against him in a moment of anger?
Ge Jian called out, "Commander, let's retreat!"
"The turtle shell is quite effective, but I wonder if it can block the assassination of a mid grade spiritual artifact." Li Qingshan muttered to himself. He raised his head and looked at Zhuo Zhibo, waiting to continue experimenting with his moves. However, Zhuo Zhibo ordered firmly, "Retreat!"
