The disciples of the Green Vine mountain retreated in a panic. They all turned around and fled in all directions.
Yu Shukuang was the first to flee. The Green Vine mountain was already done for. He did not want to stay behind and die with them. However, he was filled with despair. Even the three elders could not stop him, so how long could they possibly flee for?
Li Qingshan gazed down from above. No matter how fast they fled, no matter how far they fled, he only needed a single swing of his blade to kill them.
He held the blade in his hand, but he did not swing it down, as he saw one or two familiar people among them. He smiled and lowered the blade.
"He's gone." Little Ann emerged from the rubble.
"Are you sure?" Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah." Little Ann nodded.
"Fuck, he still managed to flee after being cut in half. That old bastard must have been playing dead earlier. I'll definitely whip his corpse in the future!" Li Qingshan cursed.
As it turned out, the Green Vine Elder who should have been lying on the ground obediently had actually vanished after the intense battle. It went without saying that he must have used this opportunity to flee.
Now that he thought about it, even mortals would roll around for a while after being cut in half, while the Green Vine Elder was like two pieces of wood. He was even better at playing dead than Milliped. Just who was the daemon here?
Li Qingshan had used the mirror image to divert the attention of the three elders, while the Green Vine Elder had used his two "old friends" to divert Li Qingshan's attention.
"Let's go hunt down that actor!" Li Qingshan sniffed the air and dove into the hole. According to the smell of blood, the Green Vine Elder had fled through the hole he had created. It would be terrible if he ran into that idiot Milliped.
Little Ann tilted his head in thought. What was an actor?
In the pitch-black, cramped hole. The Green Vine Elder clutched his neatly gaping stomach as he lay on the enlarged green vine staff, fleeing along the way. The tremors above him gradually grew distant, but he did not ease up at all. The fear from the strike was still deeply embedded in his heart. He was still shaken.
From the moment Li Qingshan stabbed the Green Vine Elder, the Green Vine Elder sensed it. It was impossible for him to win this battle.
Because he knew very well that he wasn't completely defenseless. It was just that the saber had come too fast and too ruthless, unless he had cast a protective spell or summoned a protective spiritual weapon beforehand, he would not have been able to dodge it. It was impossible to block it, and dodging it was even more impossible.
That unbelievable power and speed, coupled with extraordinary destructive power, was the bane of cultivators, so in that instant, he chose to fake his death without hesitation.
Green vines wrapped around his waist, piecing together his body that had been split into two halves. Then, they emitted rings of green light in an attempt to heal his terrifying injuries. However, the remaining Demonic Qi on it prevented the effects of the green light. It took a long time for it to recover, but at least its life wasn't in danger.
As the strongest among the three elders, the Green Vine Elder was not particularly skilled in battle. However, its ability to heal and recover was unparalleled. It grew and multiplied endlessly like a green vine.
Milliped just happened to be strolling around in the cave. When he saw the Green Vine Elder, he immediately lunged over with his claws and fangs. It spat out a pink poisonous mist.
The Green Vine Elder's eyes turned cold. He swung his cane. I can't deal with Daemon Generals, and I can't kill a measly daemonic beast like you?
At this moment, his heart shuddered. The Golden Pheasant Elder and the Lone Grave Elder's presences had vanished!
How could they be so fast?
He believed that even if he could not defeat two mid Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could still flee. At the very least, they could last for a while. The situation was even worse than he had anticipated. The red-haired Daemon General gave off no daemon qi at all, and his movements were unpredictable. He was like an assassin hidden in the darkness, as if he could appear at any time and cut him down.
The Green Vine Elder was overcome with fear. He raised his hand and sent Milliped flying before rushing past.
Actually, Li Qingshan had yet to discover that he had vanished.
… …
Li Qingshan followed the scent and followed it all the way. He saw the curled up Milliped and smiled. "You sure are lucky!"
Arriving at the entrance to the cave at the foot of the mountain, he saw the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the moon.
The intoxicating fragrance of flowers filled the air. Spring was the time when the flowers bloomed.
Li Qingshan wrinkled his nose. The scent had become very faint. It was not just because of the fragrance of the flowers. The Green Vine Elder must have kept his wounds under control and used some other method to hide his scent.
However, Li Qingshan still managed to find a special scent, the scent of humans. It was like a thin, clear trail that extended into the depths of the Boundless mountains.
Li Qingshan leapt up and arrived on a small mountain on the other side, but the scent stopped there. He could not help but frown.
If he could see through things, he would be able to see a nervous old man hiding in an ancient cypress a hundred paces away.
The Green Vine Elder had used a technique of wood evasion and melded into the tree trunk. Although he had temporarily evaded Li Qingshan's detection, his nervousness and fear did not decrease at all. Instead, it spread even more. There was also an indescribable sense of pity. He was the mighty sect master of the Green Vine mountain, yet he had actually been hunted down by a daemon to such a state.
Li Qingshan circled around in the gloomy forest a few times. Suddenly, he snorted coldly, "I can see you!"
He had learned this from Han Qiongzhi, and sure enough, it scared the Green Vine Elder witless. He resisted the urge to run away.
Li Qingshan casually swung his ice blade, kicking up a wild, sharp gust of wind. The towering trees were cut in half, rolling down the mountain with a rumble. Looking down from above, a large swathe of the forest had been obliterated in the blink of an eye.
However, there was still no sign of the Green Vine Elder.
Li Qingshan called out, "Green Vine, no matter where you run off to, there will be a day when I kill you!"
Kill you … kill you … kill you …
The sound of metal clanging echoed through the mountains again and again.
It made the Green Vine Elder's heart tighten. He was currently curled up, rolling down the mountain with the severed tree. In the end, he collided with a boulder. Just now, he had stopped. He felt like his waist was about to snap again.
The forest fell silent once more, but he dared not move at all. Who knew whether Li Qingshan was currently hiding in the darkness, waiting for him to reveal himself so that he could kill him.
Even when the sun had risen, he still did not move at all. It was said that people were more afraid of death as they grew older. He had basically used his actions to prove this truth. As long as there was even the slightest possibility of danger, he would continue to hide.
Only three days later did he slowly emerge from the tree. Only after confirming that Li Qingshan was indeed gone did he let out a sigh of relief. Gazing at the smoke-shrouded Green Vine mountain in the distance, he suddenly burst into tears. If it were not for the fact that his Wood Escape technique had almost killed him, he obviously would not be bold enough to return to the Green Vine mountain. Only by seeking the Demon Slayer's assistance could he have a chance at revenge.
Actually, after Li Qingshan had said that, he had directly left. If he could not kill him today, he could just kill him in the future. Why would he have the patience and obsession to squat in the forest and waste time?
After this battle, he felt like he was showing signs of breaking through to the third layer of the tiger demon. He was just about to go make trouble for a few more fellows and fight them again.
Li Qingshan, Little Ann, and Milliped. The three daemons moved through the darkness underground. The familiar environment made Milliped extremely excited. He moved his thousand feet eagerly, rushing towards his "bed".
Li Qingshan sat on the huge skull transformed from the Skull Prayer Beads. He wore a scarlet robe and a scarlet belt around his waist, casually covering his vital parts. The ice blade hung from his waist. He seemed to be in high spirits and in high spirits.
He had conjured the robe from his hair. To Daemon Generals, this was a small trick. He did not feel any discomfort wearing it. He had finally escaped from the state of running around naked.
The hundred treasures pouches of the Lone Grave Elder and the Golden Pheasant Elder were stuffed into his clothes. He did not have the time to check them. If he wanted to see the spoils of war, he obviously had to take them out and admire them one by one in peace. Only then would he feel especially happy.
After walking for a few hours, they had already penetrated deep underground.
Home was no longer far away!
Little Ann sat in Li Qingshan's lap as she refined the corpses of the Lone Grave Elder and the Golden Pheasant Elder. The bodies of Foundation Establishment cultivators were only around fifty kilograms in weight, but the life force they contained was not comparable to even ten thousand people. It was like the difference between Qi Gathering pills and Virtue Accumulation pills. This was a difference in quality.
The reason why Little Ann was able to undergo the heavenly tribulation so quickly was closely related to Wei Zhongyuan's corpse. She refined it very quickly and felt that her cultivation had improved once again.
Li Qingshan rubbed her head. "You don't have to do anything this time."
Just as the cave was right in front of them, there was a sudden tremor. A huge object burst out of the earth and opened its mouth, biting towards Milliped. Its four fangs were even longer than swords.
Li Qingshan was not surprised at all. How could such an obvious daemon qi escape his notice even if it was hidden in the earth?
He flew up and pressed his hand against the daemon's head. What he touched was tough rock.
Li Qingshan smiled. I was wondering why this daemon qi was so familiar. So it was this!
The huge object turned out to be a huge snake head, but it was the color of lime. It seemed like a stone statue at first glance. The boulder viper was one of the most powerful daemon soldiers under Li Qingshan's command in the past. He had only managed to subdue it after using Milliped as his shield. However, it had never been completely convinced by Li Qingshan as the leader of the daemon soldiers.
But now, the thing that Li Qingshan was least afraid of was rocks. He casually sent out a shockwave.
The boulder viper felt a shockwave travel from its head to the tip of its tail. Cracks immediately appeared on its indestructible rock armor. The world spun around it, and its entire body went numb. It was pulled out of the earth without any resistance. It was greatly shocked.
Li Qingshan said, "Boulder viper, do you still recognize me?"
The boulder viper shook its head and recovered from its dizziness. It raised its head and saw a pair of familiar scarlet eyes. It then looked at the horns and the scarlet hair. "You're … the leader!"
Li Qingshan smiled and patted its head. "Daemons have good taste after all!"
"Vice leader." The boulder viper then looked at Little Ann, and finally at Milliped. "King Milliped!" It had been attracted by this daemon qi, which was why it had broken out of the earth and launched a sneak attack. It had not sensed the presence of Li Qingshan and Little Ann at all.
"You … you're back!"
After two years, they had once again returned to the underground world to take back everything that belonged to them!
Li Qingshan asked curiously, "Why did you attack us?"
