"You!"
At that critical moment, the Martial Chief King grabbed the incoming blade and stared at Li Qingshan with widened eyes. He struggled to believe that he could deliver such a vicious strike.
Every part of the Martial Chief King's body was comparable to a demonic weapon, indestructible. However, the tiger's fangs were even sharper and unstoppable. They contained a terrifying vibration force that tore apart his body like invisible sawteeth.
"Go!" Li Qingshan let out a tiger's roar and chopped off the Martial Chief King's right arm. Demonic blood sprayed out, but the blade did not slow down at all, continuing to swing towards his abdomen and leaving behind a horrific wound!
Tiger's Fang sucked up its fill of blood from the strike and shone with blood-red light again. It flapped its wings and flickered with blood-red light. Thousands of blade auras burst forth at the same time, like flowers blooming. Demonic blood rained down!
Gongyuan watched this and smiled. Only at times like this did he seem a little more pleasing to the eye. At the same time, she powered the Heart of the Abyss with all her strength, not giving the Martial Chief King any time to catch his breath.
The Martial Chief King's body became dyed with a layer of darkness. Even though he circulated his demon qi with all his might, he was unable to stop the invasion of the coldness, which pressed straight towards the scarlet demon heart in his body. In this state, it was not just his body. Even his mind seemed to be frozen, making his reactions extremely slow.
In the blink of an eye, who knew how many times Li Qingshan had swung his blade. The Martial Chief King's limbs were all severed, and his body was crisscrossed with wounds. He was in an extremely horrific state, and his demon qi had been weakened to the limit. He seemed like he was on the brink of death, like he would be dead with just a few more swings.
But for some reason, Li Qingshan frowned and instead felt uneasy. The spirit turtle's premonitions were rarely wrong. Was he fighting like a cornered beast?
"Very good. It's been a very long time since someone has injured me to this extent. Very good, so I'll let you die a little more painfully!" The Martial Chief King snickered grimly before suddenly roaring out furiously. The demon heart in his body seemed to reach some kind of boundary, erupting with scarlet light and forcing the power of Ruin's End out of his body.
This was the unique talent of his demon heart. When he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he could burst forth with all of his potential, instantly raising his strength to another level. In the Infernal Domain, he relied on this talent to survive in battles that he was sure to lose, constantly breaking through bottlenecks until he became a Demon King.
The current situation seemed to be a narrow escape, but it was far from fatal to him.
Gongyuan said, "Be careful!"
The terrible wounds on the Martial Chief King's body suddenly spewed out black demonic qi, turning into demonic weapons that swarmed towards Li Qingshan.
"Stop boasting. I'll kill you right now!" Li Qingshan bellowed out. The demonic weapons flooded his eyes like a flood, but he went against the flow. His eyes became tranquil, allowing him to see through the trajectory of every single demonic weapon, either dodging or blocking. He flapped his wings and drifted about, as if he was dancing among the demonic weapons.
However, the Mo weapons were too densely packed, and there were always some that he couldn't dodge or block. Blood spurted out from his body, but he was unmoved. He avoided being hit in his vitals, straightened his body, and slashed with his saber.
The saber aura was like a roaring blood dragon. With a clang, it suddenly stopped, revealing a straight saber blade that was tightly gripped by a large muscular hand. It turned out that the Martial Chief King had condensed four limbs with demonic qi. It was as though the scene Just Now was replaying. However, Tiger Fang trembled and roared, but it couldn't break free.
This was the greatest flaw of Tiger Fang. It had to maintain the momentum of victory to unleash its might, forming a snowball advantage until it crushed the enemy. Just Now, in order to block the Mo weapons' attacks, a lot of the bloody light on it had been consumed, and its sharpness had also weakened. It was no longer enough to sever the Martial Chief King's demonic hand.
The Mo weapons formed from demonic qi swarmed back, sweeping towards Li Qingshan like a meat grinder.
Li Qingshan clenched his teeth and gripped the saber hilt with both hands. He pressed the saber blade down inch by inch, pressing it right between the Martial Chief King's eyebrows.
The Martial Chief King's heart trembled. He hadn't expected Li Qingshan to be so ruthless, looking like he wanted to die with him. He snorted coldly. "You want to die with me? You're not strong enough!" His right hand gripped the saber blade tightly, and his left hand turned into a spinning drill that stabbed ruthlessly into Li Qingshan's abdomen.
"Then let's give it a try!" Li Qingshan grinned hideously. He split off a sliver of his divine sense and activated the Asura Field.
"Li Qingshan!" Gongyuan hurried over to help, but she saw a blood-colored vortex ripple out and swallow the two of them.
In the Asura Field, Yin Qing was cultivating when her heart suddenly shivered. She felt an unusual killing intent surge. It was as if she had returned to the Asura Realm. Not far away, two Asura Kings were engaged in a battle to the death.
Li Qingshan and the Martial Chief King fought from the sky to the ground, tearing apart everything around them, but they never separated. They were like two vicious beasts tearing each other apart. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they would rather die than let go. However, Li Qingshan was undoubtedly weaker, and he was at a great disadvantage.
Countless Mo weapons landed on him, and Li Qingshan's flesh was peeled off piece by piece. It was as if he was being tortured by a thousand cuts. He laughed maniacally as he poured all his strength into the saber blade. It was as if he was gambling on whether he would split open the Martial Chief King's head, or whether the Martial Chief King would tear him apart.
"There's actually such a person in the nine provinces. Even in the Demon Domain, it's rare to see such a tenacious and vicious enemy. His physique is also astonishingly tough. However, he's still too stupid. He actually dares to compete with me in destructive power. Die!"
The Martial Chief King's demonic qi suddenly erupted. Amidst the sound of metal shattering, Li Qingshan's tiger bones shattered inch by inch. Before his head shattered, he was still laughing.
The Martial Chief King breathed a deep sigh of relief and touched his brow. There was a deep gash on it, and it had almost split his head in half. Further down, it was his entire body. This battle had been far more difficult than he had imagined. After unleashing all of his potential, he was undoubtedly in his strongest combat state, but it was also when his defenses were at their weakest!
There were many who could see through this, but not many who were bold enough to fight him head-on. In the end, they could not escape the fate of being crushed. Now, he only needed to break out of this realm. If he advanced, he could kill that Merfolk. If he retreated, he could return to the Demon Domain to recuperate. There would be no more danger.
Although he was covered in wounds and fatigued, Yin Qing, who was hidden in the void, could not find a single opportunity to assassinate him. The surging killing intent caused the scarlet vortex in the sky to spin. Another two Asura Commanders descended. They glanced at the Martial Chief King before moving far away. Although they were bloodthirsty and warlike, this did not mean that they liked to throw eggs at rocks.
There was a phoenix cry, and the flames gathered again. The phoenix danced in the sky, undergoing nirvanic rebirth.
The flames scattered, and Li Qingshan, who had clearly been pulverized, reappeared in the world. He looked down at the Martial Chief King and said, "You've lost, Martial Chief King!"
The Martial Chief King suddenly looked up, an expression of disbelief on his face.
…
Gongyuan picked up the Asura Field and was worrying when Li Qingshan walked out. Although he was covered in wounds and cut a sorry figure, he was brimming with energy.
"Where's the Martial Chief King?" Gongyuan relaxed inwardly, but her expression did not change as she asked coldly.
"Isn't this …?" Li Qingshan raised his right hand and grabbed the Martial Chief King's head. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and he had died with everlasting regret.
Gongyuan looked at Li Qingshan's radiant smile. He looked like a child showing off his prize, and there was actually some naivety to him. She could not help but feel her heartstrings tug.
"But he still managed to escape!"
Li Qingshan sighed in admiration. The Martial Chief King was more decisive than he had imagined. He had actually fled toward the scarlet vortex in the sky immediately. Although he had successfully killed him in the end, his soul had escaped into the scarlet vortex. Presumably, he had already reincarnated in the Asura Realm and become an Asura. With his aptitude, he would at least become an Asura King in the future.
However, there was no regret on Li Qingshan's face. Instead, there was some anticipation. He said to the sky, "I was able to defeat you this time, but it was somewhat unfair. If we were to fight one-on-one, I would definitely not be your match. If we have the chance to meet again in the Asura Realm, let's fight again!"
"Idiot!" Gongyuan said.
"Who are you talking about?" Li Qingshan was stunned.
"Who else is here? In the situation back then, you should have retreated, yet you insisted on charging forward to be beaten. If that's not idiotic, then what is?"
"You're the idiot. If I retreated, he would have come for you. You don't know how fierce this guy was when he was on the verge of death!" Li Qingshan said disapprovingly. He had the skin of a bull and the bones of a tiger, yet he had still been forcefully crushed in the end. He sized up Gongyuan. "With your small physique, I'm afraid you would have been beaten to death in a few blows."
Gongyuan was instantly speechless.
His gaze lingered on her soft breasts, slender waist, and graceful fishtail. He felt a sense of tenderness for the fairer sex, but he only retracted his gaze after being glared at by Gongyuan.
"I know you're also worried about me!" Li Qingshan patted her shoulder.
Now that he thought about it, if he hadn't dragged the Martial Chief King into the Asura Realm, he would have very likely escaped into the Demon's Den. Although he could shatter the Demon's Den, his physique wasn't as big as the Thousand Tendrils King or the Corpse King from back then. He wasn't much bigger than an ordinary person. At most, he would have been sliced by the spatial cracks once or twice. It wouldn't have been a fatal injury, and he might even have escaped unscathed.
Although Li Qingshan didn't think too much during the fierce battle, he relied on his battle instincts to face the Martial Chief King. He sacrificed a chance of Nirvana Rebirth and killed the Martial Chief King.
Concern? Gongyuan shook her head gently. She refused to let down her might as a queen. "Since I agreed to help you, I've obviously been prepared to die."
"Don't worry. Since I invited you here from the South sea, I can't say there won't be any danger at all, but no matter who it is, they'll have to step over my corpse first!"
Li Qingshan said sincerely. He had always kept a clear line between his debts of gratitude and grievances. This time was different from the war against the fire devourers. Back then, they were only cooperating, and neither of them owed the other anything. If he truly faced certain death, he obviously wouldn't be so great as to die for Gongyuan. However, this time, Gongyuan had come to help him without any compensation in the name of a "friend". His principles prevented him from watching Gongyuan die before him.
"I'll help you collect your corpse." The corner of Gongyuan's lips curled into a fleeting smile.
"Alright then!" Li Qingshan shook his head. Her venomous tongue sure did seem to come from the same source. Afterwards, he collected the corpses of the demonfolk. "Find a place to rest. I'm going back for now."
Li Qingshan flew off, only to discover that Gongyuan was right behind him. He could not help but raise an eyebrow and smile. "What, you don't want to part with me?"
"If you're killed along the way, where am I supposed to collect your corpse?" Gongyuan paused. "Or if I'm killed, how are you going to stop them?"
