The bone claws grabbed Helicoverpa Rosa's back, but they failed to harm her at all. The pulling force of the white bones was nowhere near enough to shake up a Daemon Commander.
"The Blood Sea Banner sure is brutal. Even that bastard Fu Qingjin's Green Ruins Illusion probably can't match it!"
Li Qingshan could clearly see Helicoverpa Rosa's figure submerged in the rippling Blood Sea Banner. Fu Qingjin's Green Ruins sword only created a Green Ruins Illusion, while Little Ann's Blood Sea Banner created its own space.
In reality, the Green Ruins sword was still superior. However, as a successor, Fu Qingjin was unable to unleash the power of the Green Ruins sword at all. The Blood Sea Banner had been personally forged by Little Ann, so it obviously seemed a little stronger.
Moreover, the current Blood Sea Banner was just like the Skull Prayer Beads. It was still extremely far away from complete. Once it truly reached that step, a mere Green Ruins sword would no longer be able to rival it.
With a great boom, the mountain of white bones scattered in all directions. The white bones were reduced to dust, falling into the sea of blood.
The surface of the sea finally settled down, but it rapidly gathered again, producing new white bones.
Little Ann pointed. Behind Helicoverpa Rosa, she suddenly looked back, only to be met with a surging wave of blood that swept over.
It connected the sky and the earth, stretching endlessly. It was impossible to escape, impossible to dodge.
Just the presence alone was enough to make people shiver inside.
As the huge wave arrived before her, Helicoverpa Rosa's figure became as insignificant as an ant.
The moment the blood-red wave slammed down, a series of patterns appeared in her eyes. It was strange and mysterious. Suddenly, she shone with two streaks of light, piercing the wave before her. What she saw was no longer the boundless sea of blood, but the underground. She immediately flew up.
The two streaks of light directly shot out from the Blood Sea Banner. Helicoverpa Rosa's most inconspicuous innate ability came into effect at that moment. It was actually the nemesis of magical illusions.
Little Ann had to manage the Blood Sea Banner and was unable to enter to meet the enemy. With a wave of his hand, the Skull Prayer Beads scattered.
Helicoverpa Rosa's pupils shrank. Twenty-one Skull Rosary Beads shot towards her. She gritted her teeth and twisted her body. No matter how they hit him, his speed did not decrease at all. He was about to break free. But then she saw Li Qingshan's hateful smiling face.
"Let me!"
Through the Water God Seal, Li Qingshan replenished his demonic Qi. Even the injuries on his body had recovered by about forty to fifty percent. With an additional layer of flesh, he looked even more terrifying than a skeleton.
He nodded towards Little Ann, then charged headlong into the Blood Sea Banner, letting out a tiger's roar. It shook the Blood Sea.
Li Qingshan spread his Wings of Wind and pounced on Helicoverpa Rosa. "Mother of my child, don't be in such a hurry to leave!"
Helicoverpa Rosa was both furious and hateful. Her poisonous whip lashed fiercely on Li Qingshan's body. Li Qingshan's flesh and blood splattered everywhere. His pounce was blocked, but it also completely cut off her path of escape.
As soon as his flesh and blood fell into the Blood Sea, it immediately stirred and was devoured by the blood, becoming a part of the Blood Sea.
Li Qingshan was completely fearless. His Wings of Wind suddenly sped up, crashing fiercely into the back of Helicoverpa Rosa's body. He spread open his arms, laughing strangely as he tightly hugged her, then dove into the Blood Sea together.
This Blood Sea did not differentiate between friend and foe. It hated all living beings and devoured all flesh and blood.
Even the owner of the Blood Sea Banner, Little Ann, had to exert all his strength to control it so that the blood water would not attack Li Qingshan. But in the blink of an eye, only a tall skeleton remained.
And Helicoverpa Rosa, who was under the concentrated attack of the Blood Sea, was in an even worse state. She had to constantly use her Daemon Qi to resist the corrosion of the blood water. In the blink of an eye, the poison on her body had been dyed red.
Although the fierce poison had dyed a part of the sea black, it was nothing compared to the boundless Blood Sea.
Li Qingshan grabbed the back of Helicoverpa Rosa's neck with one hand, his legs wrapped around her waist, and he rode on her body. Laughing loudly, he landed punch after punch on her body. Naturally, she struggled with all her might. Their figures bobbed up and down in the Blood Sea, creating huge waves.
When Helicoverpa Rosa saw that she was unable to break free from Li Qingshan's grasp, she tossed aside her poisonous whip and madly grabbed Li Qingshan's neck with both hands. Under the terrifying strength, his neck bones cracked, and very quickly, cracks appeared. Although Li Qingshan's life force was strong, if his neck was also broken, only death awaited him.
Li Qingshan struggled, but he was unable to break free. After losing his flesh and blood, his strength had weakened significantly.
This was a Daemon Commander. Even in the most disadvantageous of situations, a single counterattack could be fatal.
However, how could Little Ann just watch as Li Qingshan was injured? While Li Qingshan and Helicoverpa Rosa were locked in a stalemate, the Skull Prayer Beads flew over and wrapped around Helicoverpa Rosa's wrist, turning into a string of prayer beads again.
Twenty-one Skeleton Demons exerted their strength together, forcefully pulling Helicoverpa Rosa's hand away and locking it behind her back. Moreover, they constantly gnawed at her wrist. If she had not used her innate ability, turning her skin an indestructible silvery-gray, her flesh would probably have been devoured in an instant.
Suddenly, Li Qingshan clenched his claws and raised them high into the air. Like a huge hammer, he smashed them down.
In that instant, Helicoverpa Rosa felt like a small mountain was pressing down on her from behind. There was a loud sound, followed by an intense tremor that passed through her entire body.
Wherever the tremor passed, her poison suit, which had been corroded by the sea of blood, shattered. Her silvery-gray body sank straight into the depths of the sea of blood.
The water filled the cavern, instead propping up the collapsing ceiling. Little Ann held the Blood Sea Banner and stood quietly in the water. The flames in his eye sockets flickered as he stared closely into the Blood Sea Banner.
After a while, Li Qingshan leapt out of the Blood Sea Banner. "Haha, it's finally done!"
Li Qingshan finally understood just how great of a difference there was between defeating a Daemon Commander and subduing one. If it were not for the help of Little Ann's Blood Sea Banner, he would not have been able to keep her here no matter what. He might even have been killed by her counterattack if he was not careful.
Although he successfully subdued her in the end, stripping her naked like last time, he obviously could not do anything inappropriate in front of Little Ann.
Moreover, all that was left of his body was white bones. Even if he wanted to do something, he would be powerless.
In the Blood Sea Banner, Helicoverpa Rosa lay in the sea of blood. Her daemon qi had already been completely used up. Her skin had returned to its snow-white color, and her physical strength was close to exhaustion.
She could not see the surface of the sea, nor could she reach the bottom. It was as if she was in the center of the sea of blood, and the blood constantly ate away at her life force.
If she were a regular Daemon General, she would have been reduced to a puddle of blood before long, merging with the sea of blood to strengthen the Blood Sea Banner.
As a Daemon Commander, her body was extremely tough. Even so, she could only last a little longer. With her connection to the outside world severed, she could not even recover her daemon qi. She could only walk step by step towards death.
Unprecedented fear and an aura of death enveloped her. This was a feeling that she had not felt for a very long time.
Being in the sea of blood, not only did her body suffer damage, her mind was greatly affected as well. It was the deep despair of the boundless sea of blood, where she could neither advance nor retreat.
She used her remaining strength to howl in grief.
"Lord Golden Cicada!"
Little Ann asked, "Should I kill her?"
Li Qingshan rubbed his chin, and his eyes flashed. "That's not impossible!" A familiar voice immediately rang out by his ear. "Don't do it. Spare her life."
"Oh, it's you. So you're called Golden Cicada. What do you have to say?" Li Qingshan's goal was to lure that voice out. He thought to himself, Sure enough, the reason he cultivates in this region is closely related to Lolth.
"You still know my name. However, it's best if you don't let anyone else know of it." Golden Cicada's words contained a hint of warning. "If you kill her, the Dragon King Of The Sea will not let this matter rest."
"Fine, I won't kill her." Li Qingshan's reply was extremely straightforward, exceeding Golden Cicada's expectations.
"Let's go!" Li Qingshan called out to Little Ann.
"Wait, you're just going to leave like this?" Golden Cicada said.
"I didn't say I was going to let her go! I've already spared her once, but she still won't let it go. I can't just let her kill me for nothing and destroy my weapon for nothing, "Li Qingshan said matter-of-factly.
Li Qingshan said like it was a matter of course. Since killing her would be troublesome, then he would just suppress her in the Blood Sea Banner forever. However, it was very clear that as the blood continued to corrode her, her cultivation would definitely decline greatly. She might even be unable to maintain her Daemon Commander realm.
His thoughts were very straightforward. Since you want to protect me, you have to pay a price, such as the Phoenix feather.
Golden Cicada fell silent.
"Since we're on the same path, we should support each other. I promise you that I will definitely do my best to help you obtain the Chant of Deva-Nāga. To be honest, ever since we parted last time, I've encountered a pretty good opportunity. If I go back on my word, with your strength, it'll be easy for you to kill me. "
Li Qingshan took a step further and said with extreme sincerity.
"Fine, I promise you."
After Golden Cicada sensed Little Ann by Li Qingshan's side, his indistinct sense of heavenly secrets grew stronger and stronger. He was basically certain that the Chant of Deva-Nāga would be related to Li Qingshan.
Moreover, Li Qingshan's final words had also struck a chord in his heart. He only wanted to avoid trouble and entanglement underground, so that he could focus on cultivation in order to break through that final step. However, this did not mean that he could casually toy around with a Daemon General.
"Let her go!" Li Qingshan was overjoyed and nodded slightly at Little Ann. Golden Cicada was so generous, so he did not want to appear too stingy.
Little Ann shook the Blood Sea Banner, and Helicoverpa Rosa was thrown out. She stared venomously at Li Qingshan, and when she looked at Little Ann, her eyes were filled with hatred, as well as a deep hint of fear. Although she had only been suppressed in the sea of blood for a short period of time, it felt as long as a hundred years to her, bringing her despair that could not be erased.
Although she was venomous, she no longer looked down on him from above.
Previously, she still harbored great reluctance in her heart. However, this time, under the inescapable net that she had laid down, Li Qingshan had forcefully carved out a path of survival. She could only subdue him by finding helpers. However, the helpers that Li Qingshan had found were so powerful.
There was a huge chasm between Daemon Commanders and Daemon Generals, but Li Qingshan had used various methods to bridge this chasm, proving with his actions that he was definitely not a weakling that she could bully as she pleased.
"I-" "You're welcome to come, you're welcome to come again!"
Li Qingshan directly interrupted Helicoverpa Rosa as soon as she uttered a single word of threat. (To be continued …)
