The muscular man had died.
However, he had given a great deal of information before dying. Li Yue now understood the reason for what had happened. At the same time, he also knew that there would definitely be more people coming. A battle was unavoidable.
The previous battle hadn't been easy for him. This muscular man had been very powerful, and his usage of the Laws of the Earth was virtually flawless. In terms of both attack and defense, he was extremely terrifying.
However, this man had underestimated Li Yue too much, and had been too impulsive and overconfident.
As Li Yue saw it, his dying words had been quite sincere. "Using ten drops of Sovereign's Might to place a bounty on me? In fact, he'll even continue to increase the bounty. It seems that old man is determined to acquire this branch! "
Li Yue himself was very curious as to whether or not this branch held any other secrets. Aside from being able to help him understand the Laws, Li Yue also wanted to know the origins of this unique item and its other uses.
Thus, even though he knew that a bounty had been placed on him, Li Yue didn't even consider leaving this place. He just waited quietly.
He knew that since the old man had placed a bounty on him, then the old man would definitely come as well. He would either hide in the shadows or stand out in the open.
No matter what, Li Yue was going to give it a try.
At worst, he would just have to fight.
He wasn't afraid.
…..
Three days later, another group of people arrived.
In the air above the Lake of Death, Li Yue was battling against these people. Although it was called a battle, it was actually a one-sided battle. This was because these people weren't as powerful as he had imagined. The strongest was just a Six Star Fiend, and he was easily killed in just a few blows. As for the rest, they were even more pathetic. In just two or three blows, he had smoothly killed all of them, and their corpses fell into the black waters of the lake, not creating any ripples at all.
But this was just the beginning.
Aside from that muscular man, who was an exception, the rest of the people weren't that powerful. However, they were all extremely powerful Highgods. When a group of them attacked together, it was rather troublesome.
Godpower swirled in the air like a mist as numerous figures fell from the sky. Godheads floated in the air, and corpses fell like rain.
Li Yue stood in front of a group of people. His fingers were like a sword. Every time he swung his arm, a life was taken away. Every time he attacked, a godly spirit was killed.
He was like an ice-cold machine, looking down at the enemies that were charging at him, one move after another, one after another.
There were too many people.
From the front, in the dark, in a head-on confrontation, in a sneak attack …
All kinds of methods and moves.
But in the face of the disparity in strength, all of this was just a scryer recording.
Pfft ~
After Li Yue split the last black-armored, single-horned god into two, Li Yue expressionlessly put away his interspatial ring and floating godhead, then turned around and returned to the castle.
It had been more than a month.
A month had passed. Aside from the first two muscular men who had come, none of the people who had come this month were particularly powerful. Most of them were five or six star Fiends, and all of them looked extremely sick and crazy. It was as though they didn't know the difference between life and death.
"This feeling … it's like … golems?"
"Or perhaps … slaves?"
Li Yue couldn't help but think this way.
After all, there was no Deity who didn't cherish their own lives. They clearly knew that they couldn't do anything, but they still came to throw their lives away. And they did so for more than a month. This sort of brainless behavior was simply too abnormal.
He could only guess that these people were all under the control of some terrifying existence in the dark, and that they were intentionally using these suicidal attacks to test him.
Thus, during this month, Li Yue had never truly used any techniques. He just killed, killed, killed.
It was just a simple suppression.
"If my guess is correct, then to be able to control and enslave so many five and six star Fiends, this fellow is at least at the Seven Star Fiend level. The latter is at the Asura or Commander level."
In addition, he was very well-hidden.
…..
In truth, Li Yue's guess was correct. This sort of suicidal behavior was indeed controlled by someone, and the person controlling them was a necromancer whose Edicts of Death had reached the Asura level.
A hundred kilometers away from the Lake of Death, atop a mountain. A gloomy, gloomy cave flashed with a dim light.
Within the cave, a pale-faced, devilish youth was raising his hand. A faint screen of light was hovering in his hand, and the screen of light was displaying the scene of Li Yue slaughtering those Deities as though they were chickens.
"This mission is going to be difficult!"
He was a necromancer who had reached an extremely profound level in the Edicts of Death. He was very experienced and knowledgeable, and the reason he had accepted this mission was for the sake of that Sovereign's Might.
But now, it seemed, the situation was very bad.
"This fellow's power is even more exaggerated than what was stated in the mission. How is it just 'extremely dangerous'?"
He was very experienced and knowledgeable. Naturally, he could tell that Li Yue's power was no small matter. He was at least at the Commander level, and was very close to being a Paragon.
As for whether or not Li Yue was a Paragon, he had never even considered it.
After all, who would dare to truly place a bounty on a Paragon? That would be suicidal.
"Ten drops of Sovereign's Might? If it wasn't Fate-type Sovereign's Might, but Death-type Sovereign's Might, I might be willing to take the risk. "
"But right now, for the sake of ten drops of Fate-type Sovereign's Might, I am going to provoke an unknown, terrifying existence. In addition, I can sense a sort of deathly aura from his body. He might be even more terrifying than I imagined. It's best … to be cautious! "
The necromancer had come to a decision, but he didn't choose to leave. Instead, he wanted to see if he could fish in troubled waters at the end.
After all, the person who had issued the bounty had an extraordinary background as well. If a battle were to break out between the two, he would be able to make a good plan.
…..
In truth, there were quite a few people who shared the same thoughts as this necromancer.
Quite a few of them were hiding in the shadows, and all of them had come with the intention of being the fisherman who would profit from the battle.
Within the Crescent Castle, Li Yue closed his eyes, continuing to train.
On the other side, within a tall mountain range, Oxus Kanuel's face was as cold as ice.
"This fellow is actually this powerful?"
"In addition, many of the people who accepted the bounty haven't fought at all. They've been hiding in the shadows this entire time. Hmph. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"But …"
If possible, Oxus didn't mind engaging in a great battle with Li Yue and forcing everyone else to come out. At that time, as long as he revealed the symbol of the Sovereign of Fate's clan, everything would be fine.
But he knew that if he were to battle with Li Yue, it would definitely be a one-sided battle. Aside from being killed, he would be captured alive. There was no other possibility.
"Damn. Judging from that fellow's attitude, he probably doesn't have much patience left. If … he leaves this place, then that half-broken branch …"
Oxus felt vexed while secretly cursing those Seven Star Fiends. Indeed, none of the Highgods were fools.
For someone to be able to train to the Seven Star Fiend level and to the Commander level, there was no need to talk about his mental state.
Although ten drops of Sovereign's Might was precious, in the face of life, everyone would choose a different path.
"Damn!"
"Oxus, what are you fretting over?"
Just as Oxus Kanuel was standing there, silently cursing, in the air above the mountain peak, a clear, cold voice rang out, directly entering his mind.
"Who is it?"
Oxus' body trembled, and he raised his head to look.
