All the Daemon Commanders who had fought against Li Qingshan in the past were filled with disbelief.
He had become stronger, much stronger than when he fought against them.

Over the past two months, Li Qingshan constantly refined water. As he pushed the fourth layer of the spirit turtle to the limits, he gradually unleashed the true power of the fifth layer of the ox demon bit by bit. With every step forward, he became stronger.
The wild boar shrieked, "If you kill me, the dragon king will never spare you."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Li Qingshan's hands slid down and grabbed his wrists. He planted a foot on his chest and pulled hard.
With a ripping sound, the two thick arms of the wild boar were forcefully ripped off. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
The wild boar shrieked and fell down. Li Qingshan lunged over and grabbed the backs of his legs. He planted a foot between his legs and pulled hard again, ripping off his legs at the base as well.
The wild boar's limbs were all severed, but Li Qingshan did not let him go. His fist turned into a claw and dug into his abdomen, pulling out a bloody clump of organs. Only then did he stomp on his head. His brain splattered as he flew up.
The power of tremors erupted, and the wild boar's body crackled like firecrackers. Up until now, the wild boar's bones had been shattered, his limbs had been severed, and his organs had been hollowed out. He only had a sliver of life left in him. He only managed to survive thanks to his powerful life force as a Daemon Commander.
"Piss off and cultivate for another century!"
Even for Daemon Commanders, unless they possessed innate healing abilities, it would not be easy for them to recover from such severe wounds.
Li Qingshan could vaguely guess who had set this up for him.
If he killed any of the Daemon Commanders here, he would definitely be charged with the crime of murdering his own clansmen. Due to the difference in relationship, it was impossible to distinguish between them.
By then, the Dragon King Of The Sea would not even have to do anything. All he had to do was chase him away. Probably even the master of the Sword Collection palace or the lord of the Green province would not mind spending some time to kill a wretched daemon that posed a threat to them.
Of course, Li Qingshan would not fall for this trick. 'I won't kill you, but I can cripple you. I'll use the cruelest methods to let you experience the consequences of opposing me with your bodies.'
Faced with such a horrific sight, the Daemon Commanders were all tempted to retreat. However, when they thought of that person's orders, none of them dared to run away.
"Everyone, let's attack together. His demonic aura won't last long!"
Intense explosions and roars resounded like thunder, shaking everything within a thousand li. Bright lights shot out, strong winds swept, and fresh blood splattered.
Li Qingshan's daemon qi was indeed limited. This was not within the region of water he controlled, so the Water God Seal was useless. After defeating six Daemon Commanders consecutively, his daemon qi was almost completely depleted.
However, under the effect of the divine earth power, his power wouldn't be exhausted. He changed back to his original form, only relying on his cowhide to block the attacks, using the most primitive power to fight.
Any Daemon Commander that ended up in his hands could forget about escaping. They would be torn to pieces.
Blood poured down like a torrential downpour, dyeing the glacier red.
Li Qingshan was bathed in blood. His scarlet hair danced in the wind as he fought madly. The glacier beneath his feet shattered. In a daze, he heard a mad laughter that resembled a tiger's roar soaring into the sky. He suddenly realised that it was his own laughter, so he laughed even more violently.
"Hahahahaha!"
What do you mean we're of the same race? Isn't it just endless fighting? Who cares if they're daemons or humans? I'm my own race. I won't ally with anyone. Everyone who stands in my way is my enemy. I'll use my hands to rip apart all who stand in my way!
The Daemon Commanders were utterly terrified. As long as they could still move, they no longer cared about anyone's orders and fled in all directions.
The bullfrog Daemon Commander reverted to his original form. With a push of his legs, he traversed a hundred li.
An iron hoof descended from the sky, stomping him into the ground.
The bullfrog Daemon Commander struggled desperately. He twisted his head and spat out bubbles.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Small mountains were sent flying and craters were blasted open.
Li Qingshan pressed down on his head with one hand, pressing it into the soil. The iron hoof slowly dug into his skin.
With a crack, the bullfrog Daemon Commander's spine was forcefully crushed. He sprawled on the ground.
"Do you know how I roasted frogs when I was young?"
Li Qingshan asked. Before he could answer, the huge, black claw directly plunged into his mouth, grabbing a ball of softness and pulling it out randomly.
"Sir Mo Yu, save me!"
Li Qingshan sensed danger. A black shadow enveloped him in the sky. He looked back and laughed madly. "Mo Yu, you've finally run out of patience and want to take action?"
"North Moon, you've abused your own clansmen. Do you know the punishment for that?" Mo Yu unfurled his black wings and descended from the sky with a deathly expression. The face of the powerful and arrogant daemon prince of the Green province became even paler.
Just as Li Qingshan had guessed, Mo Yu had arranged all of this, but it was no longer just because of jealousy.
He felt a great threat from North Moon. Not only did he cultivate startlingly quickly, but he was only a Daemon General, but he could dominate the Daemon Commanders of the Ruyi commandery. If he continued to refine bodies of water and became a Daemon Commander, probably even he would not be able to keep him at bay. This also had to do with the struggle for the throne of the Green province's Daemon King.
"As a daemon, you can say something so hypocritical. How disgusting! If you don't like me, then come and kill me! "Li Qingshan stood on the bullfrog Daemon Commander and raised his arm, spreading his fingers.
Mo Yu stood in the sky and stared into Li Qingshan's eyes. Li Qingshan met his gaze without holding back. All he saw was black feathers drifting down from the sky, leaving behind black trails.
Li Qingshan dared not be careless. Since Mo Yu could become the daemon prince of the Green province, his strength definitely surpassed regular Daemon Commanders. He would not be surprised at all if he possessed the ability to contend against regular Daemon Kings.
He was ready to strike, waiting to launch an attack at any time. However, the feathers did not fly over and attack him. They simply drifted through the air like the entire sky had been dyed black, filled with an ominous feeling.
The vegetation on the ground immediately died, losing all signs of life. However, they still maintained the illusion of verdure.
Only after a few years would they completely wither away. The wild rabbits hibernating underground would never wake up again.
Li Qingshan suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness. He clearly possessed endless strength, but he felt like he could not support his body in that moment. With a boom, he dropped to one knee as if his soul had been separated from his body.
His heart slowed down, and his breathing gradually stopped. His brain stopped thinking too.
This was the smell of death!
"Gaze of Death!"
This was one of Mo Yu's innate abilities. He could directly bypass all of his opponent's defences and extinguish their flames of life. Those he killed would all be completely unscathed, as if they had suddenly died of their own accord.
"You're actually foolish enough to meet my gaze. I'll kill you right here and then apologize to the king!"
Although daemons had an iron-clad rule that forbade them from killing one another, and anyone who broke it would be severely punished, rules and laws had always been used to restrain the weak.
Suddenly, there was a cry that went from weak to high-pitched. Its beauty was indescribable with words.
The phoenix's wings suddenly unfurled several dozen meters wide. Under the threat of death, the phoenix that had become rather haggard from the spirit turtle's suppression burst forth with the dazzling flames of life.
The sky full of feathers vanished together. As it turned out, it was just an illusion.
Mo Yu was mildly surprised. He had never seen a Daemon General that could struggle against his Gaze of Death. The North Moon's body contained a powerful life force that was endless.
"However, do you really think you can avoid your inevitable death like this?"
Mo Yu's black pupils flowed like liquid, filling his eyeballs. In the blink of an eye, there was no longer any white left in Mo Yu's eyes. They were filled with a terrifying and strange aura.
The blazing flames of life immediately dimmed, as if they were covered by a black veil. They were suppressed and extinguished.
Black feathers fluttered in the air, like a black snowstorm.
This was a struggle between life and death, a battle between the phoenix and the crow.
Although the phoenix was a divine bird, it was still too young and weak. It was instead weaker than the crow in terms of strength.
"Please stop, the two of you!"
A voice rang out. With a flash, Gu Yanying stood between Mo Yu and Li Qingshan, cutting off their line of sight and their confrontation.
"Yanying, move aside," Mo Yu said with a frown.
Gu Yanying raised her hand, and a round Ink Dragon Talisman descended. The Ink Dragon Talisman that seemed to be coiled by an ink dragon suddenly came to life. It opened its eyes and glanced at Li Qingshan first. Li Qingshan felt an intense pressure. That was the dignity of a king. Then, it looked at Mo Yu.
"Stop before you go too far."
It was unknown who he was talking about, but the boss of the Green province daemons had said that they should stop before they went too far. Whether it was Li Qingshan or Mo Yu, they could only stop fighting.
"You'll die!" The corner of Mo Yu's lips curled up, revealing a strange, masked smile. Then, he let out a strange, shrill caw like a crow. "Caw!" The daemon qi in his body decreased sharply.
Li Qingshan felt a chill run through his body, but he did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
Mo Yu saw how Li Qingshan was fine and frowned again. He unfurled his black feather clothes and vanished into the twisted, collapsing darkness.
Gu Yanying stowed the Ink Dragon Talisman away and yawned. She said through her soul sense, "Oi, I'm the White Hawk commander of the Ruyi commandery after all. It's time for you to run."
"What did he do to me?"
"The Death Bringer Curse. That's his most terrifying innate ability. It can reduce the lifespan of the target according to their strength and race. That caw earlier should have reduced your lifespan by a hundred years at the very least, but looks like your lifespan is very long."
Li Qingshan was stunned. Mo Yu's ability really was strange and powerful. If it was a daemon, then so be it, but if it were a human cultivator, having a hundred years of their lifespan deducted was basically even more terrifying than being stabbed ten times. In particular, some elderly cultivators would probably lose their lives on the spot.
However, as it seemed, Mo Yu had to pay a price for using this move. He could not use it consecutively, or he would be invincible if he cried out as soon as he saw people.
This extremely terrifying innate ability was not particularly effective against Li Qingshan. As the saying went, "A thousand-year tortoise, a ten-thousand-year tortoise". Even he had no idea how long the lifespan of a spirit turtle that was close to a god was, while the phoenix was a symbol of eternal life.
However, having a hundred years of his lifespan deducted for no reason still left Li Qingshan extremely displeased. He asked again, "How do I remove the curse?"
"It's very simple. Kill him."
"If it weren't for you, I would have been able to kill him." Li Qingshan said, but he also knew that just the innate ability Mo Yu had used when he left made him very difficult to kill.
