A layer of the swamp had been blown away by the storm, revealing the fresh soil below. It was soaked in the Nine-headed King's demon blood.
With a gentle breeze, Li Qingshan's scarlet hair danced in the wind. The soil in the distance trembled, and a strange-looking conjoined twins crawled out. They were the Kings of Yin and Yang.
Li Qingshan glanced at them and could not help but smile. "I was looking for you!"
The Kings of Yin and Yang lay on the ground, covered in a few bloody wounds from the wind. They stared at Li Qingshan resentfully, but they struggled to hide their fear. They did not want to face the terrifying storm a second time. If it were not for Qiongqi's orders, they would not be hiding in the ground. They would have directly fled.
"Li Qingshan, stop bluffing. You've already lost. Just like last time, we're the final victors!" Two mouths spoke at the same time. The voices of a man and a woman criss-crossed and trembled.
"Is that so?"
Li Qingshan's face was as calm as still water. Under the moonlight, his skin was so pale that it was almost transparent. Purplish-black livor mortis spots appeared as yellowish marks spread across his skin. This was the price he had paid to kill the Flying Zombie King and Nine-headed King. Even he could not completely ignore the power of the demon heart's self-destruction.
The feeling of weakness after going berserk seeped deep into his bones. Even taking a step seemed rather difficult. Normally, he would not have been so weak, but this was the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous. If it were not for the support of the Strength of the Earth and the Heart of the Abyss, he probably would have collapsed already.
However, he slowly raised his blade, and its edge flickered under the moonlight.
With a flash, the Kings of Yin and Yang suddenly retreated five kilometers away, staring at him in fear.
"The Demon King has been scared out of his wits, but he's powerless to fight anymore!" The King of Southern Yue said with some pity. Just Now, the violent power was basically startling. If it were not for the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous, it would probably be even more terrifying. However, as the saying went, "Prosperity is bound to decline".
The Banyan Tree King fell silent.
Li Qingshan laughed aloud at the sky, but his laughter was filled with weakness. He lowered his blade powerlessly. "I'm too tired. Let's rest up for now!"
As he said that, he just lay down on his back and gazed at the bright moon through the cracks in the clouds. He said softly, "Brother ox, how satisfying! Life is not lived in vain! "
"You dare to scare me?!" The Yin Yang Lord was furious and flew into the sky. It let out a terrifying demonic roar, but it still maintained a sufficient distance from Li Qingshan.
"Bastard, you blocked the moonlight. Forget it, I'll kill you first!"
As Li Qingshan said that, he continued to lie there without moving. The Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell flew out, forming a smooth, mirror-like surface.
The demonic sound landed on the surface of the mirror and was reflected back at the Yin Yang Lord.
Puff! The Yin Yang King spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying. Every inch of his body trembled violently. He could clearly feel how powerful his demonic voice was.
This was Li Qingshan's third divine ability — Terminal Lucidity!
It was rather similar to the ox demon's new ability. They were both independent abilities that he already possessed, going from being "useless" to an ability that could truly stand on its own. However, unlike the Ox Demon Forges its Hide, Terminal Lucidity was more suitable for dealing with techniques, and it could be regarded as both attack and defence.
If it were another time and place, this ability might have been able to unleash wondrous effects, but it seemed rather powerless in the current situation. The spirit turtle's abilities had always focused on defence and support.
"Terminal Lucidity! Tsk, how inauspicious! "Li Qingshan mumbled to himself. He considered whether he should change the name or not.
"Is this your trump card?! What a pity. I just want to watch you die! Die! Die! "
The Yin Yang Lord wiped away the blood from his mouth and looked down at Li Qingshan from above. His three bulging eyes were bloodshot as he howled hysterically.
A while later, a few more spots of livor mortis appeared on Li Qingshan's body. Even when he powered the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression at full strength, he was unable to suppress it.
Li Qingshan suddenly took a step back and swung his right arm as hard as he could, tossing out the blade in his hand. It turned into a streak of blood-red light and shot into the sky.
"You want to injure me with an attack like that?" The Yin Yang Lord sneered. Suddenly, light filled his field of vision. The smooth, mirror-like surface of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell suddenly shifted, reflecting the silvery-blue moonlight on his face. He became even more disdainful. "You're still using tricks like that? How pitiful!"
A hand extended out of the resplendent moonlight, gripping the hilt of Tiger's Fang firmly. The Yin Yang Lord's eyes suddenly widened as if he had seen a ghost. All he saw was Li Qingshan's scarlet hair drifting in the wind. He was brimming with energy. He did not seem injured at all.
"How is this possible!"
The Yin Yang Lord retreated in a hurry, but he had already swung his blade. With the moonlight, he drew a silvery-blue arc, hanging in the sky like a crescent moon.
The trajectory of the Yin Yang Lord's retreat just happened to coincide with the crescent moon, as if he had gone up to receive it himself.
Moonlight flashed and demonic blood splattered. The Yin Yang Lord's body split into two!
He widened his eyes, but all he saw was Li Qingshan standing on the ground, staring at him calmly. Meanwhile, the Li Qingshan before him had the same expression, swinging out another crescent moon!
"What a powerful clone!" The King of Southern Yue and the others on the side could clearly see that the second Li Qingshan had flown out of the mirror-like surface that reflected the moonlight.
"If he were outside, just this clone would possess the strength of a Daemon King!" Ye Duanhai sighed.
"No, he's even more powerful than regular Daemon Kings. Aren't these two Demon Kings much more powerful than regular Daemon Kings when they fuse?" Ye Weiyang pointed at the battlefield again.
"I don't necessarily have to use a new ability to kill you!" Li Qingshan smiled. Now this was his true trump card, the second innate ability of the Spirit Turtle Transformation, the Watermirror's Image!
The strength of the mirror clone was directly connected to his original body. After undergoing the tribulation and becoming a Daemon King, the strength of his clone had increased as well. Coupled with the strengthening of the innate ability itself, the power he could unleash was no weaker than before he underwent the tribulation even under the suppression of the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous.
Some people might find this strange. Before the tribulation, even when Li Qingshan and Gongyuan worked together, they were not the opponent of the Kings of Yin Yang fused with two Demon Kings, so how was it possible for him to emerge victorious alone?
However, when the same power was controlled by a Daemon King and a Daemon Commander, the effects would be completely different.
The Kings of Yin Yang could clearly sense this. The mirror clone's strength was clearly below his, but Li Qingshan seemed to be able to read his thoughts. He could predict his opponent's moves every single time, leaving openings all over his body.
With the Heart of the Abyss in his mouth, Li Qingshan's eyes turned pitch-black. He seemed to be staring at the Kings of Yin Yang in the sky, but also like he was staring at the endless void.
After breaking through to the fifth layer of the Spirit Turtle Transformation, he could see the heavenly secrets and fate with even greater clarity. Although it took a tremendous amount of effort, he could still calculate the Kings of Yin Yang's movements, which was enough for his mirror clone to gain the upper hand.
However, he did not show any joy at all. The difference in strength was there. The Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous suppressed his mirror clone even more than his original body, or he would have summoned his mirror clone a long time ago. It would have been very difficult for him to deal a fatal strike to the Kings of Yin Yang.
And, his current state was even more difficult to maintain than the Tiger Demon's Fury, as he had not developed an independent innate ability after all. If only the innate ability the spirit turtle had condensed this time was related to this. However, there were no ifs in life. All he could do was calmly accept his fate.
He closed his eyes gently. Already exhausted, even his mind was close to the limit now.
