Li Yijie finally came back to his senses. He gripped his sword tightly and said, "Forget it. As the saying goes, counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. Since we don't have a good plan, we can only fight with that guy … I think we thought too highly of him and scared ourselves first. Ha … hahaha, isn't he just a monster who became a demon? What … what's so great about him? He used to brag about how invincible he was, but in the end … didn't he still lose to us? The four great clans' manor heads and their heirs, plus the Wulin Alliance Master and his wife, cough cough … this combination is invincible. Let's go and teach that guy a lesson! " He forced a smile and walked with difficulty, but this was purely self-deception. Although he wanted to teach his opponent a lesson, his calves and stomach kept twitching. It seemed like he would collapse in the next moment.
Nangong Xue suddenly grabbed his arm and begged, "Senior Martial Brother, don't … don't go! That guy … that monster, I have a very bad feeling. You have to believe me! " She hurriedly turned around and asked, "Senior Yuan, he turned from a mortal to a demon. How big is the difference in his strength from before?"
The manor head smiled bitterly and said, "The difference between a human and a demon! How big do you think there will be? " It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. Nangong Xue instantly felt her hands and feet turn cold. She could only hug Li Yijie with all her strength and begged, "Senior Martial Brother, don't go, don't go!"
Li Yijie forced himself to laugh and said, "I … I am the Wulin Alliance Master. Ever since I started my career, I've … I've never been afraid of anyone. There were many people who claimed to be strong in martial arts, but weren't they all … defeated by my sword? That monster … if one comes, I'll kill one. If a hundred come, I'll kill a hundred of them … Xueer, don't be afraid. Senior Martial Brother will protect you. "
Yuan Yi saw that Li Yijie was obviously so scared that his eyes rolled back and he would faint in the next moment, but he was still trying to be a hero in front of Nangong Xue. For a moment, he felt both angry and amused. He said, "Father, uncles, we can't push all the difficult tasks to Alliance Master Li. Given the current situation, the only way out was for everyone to work together. If we let those demons reach the Central Plains, it will be a great disaster for the common people … Let's end it here. "
The Manor Lord and the others agreed. Even if they didn't fight, would the Seven Malefic Demons let them go? If he had turned into a demon in both body and mind, killing would be his instinct. If he still had his original memories, these people would be his irreconcilable enemies. In any case, there was no way he could stay out of this.
At this time, Jiang Liechen was only halfway up the mountain. On the contrary, Li Yijie and the others were hoping that he would walk faster. At least they didn't have to wait and endure endless torment.
Sometimes they would see the bottom of his long robe rise and fall slightly; they thought that he wanted to use his' qing gong 'to leap directly to the foot of the mountain. Both of them would store their energy in their weapons, waiting for the battle to begin. However, in the next moment, what he saw was that he was still slowly walking along the cliff. Risking their lives to look at his eyes, they saw that his eyes were shrouded in a layer of grey. They couldn't see the focal length and didn't know where he was looking at.
The few of them stood at the foot of the mountain, huddled together. They used the others' bodies as shields and the only thing they could rely on. Everyone's heart was beating wildly. They stood in place and listened to their own heartbeats as well as the others'. The rhythm formed a strange rhythm.
To be able to clearly feel their hearts beating and twitching in their chests, sucking all the air out of their bodies, and repeatedly feeling it over and over again, how many times in their lives could they experience it? It was as if their only purpose in life was to listen to the sound of their heartbeats, swallowing their hearts back into their stomachs time and time again. Again, again, swallowing, the cycle repeated.
The cold wind blew against their faces. It was as sharp as a knife, but also as fine as steel needles, piercing their eyes. It was hard to say how lucky or unlucky these seven people were.
This long wait, the seven people had spent their entire lives waiting, finally came to an end. Jiang Liechen finally stopped not too far away from them, facing the seven people directly. The surrounding air seemed to be still. There were faint sparks intertwining in the eyes of the two sides. Li Yijie and the others held their breaths. Every time they swallowed, it was as if they had swallowed a knife, cutting their throats until they felt a faint pain.
Jiang Liechen opened his mouth to break the silence. "Get out of the way." Listening to his voice, it was like a child who had just learned how to speak, but also like a mute for many years, hoarse and dry. Li Yijie didn't know why he would suddenly have such an absurd thought at this moment of life and death. He cleared his throat and said, "I opened this mountain, I planted these trees. If you want to pass through, you have to pay the toll." The people around him didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They didn't know whether he was joking or had other intentions.
However, Jiang Jianchen didn't react to his words at all. He was like a wooden puppet that had no emotions at all. After a long pause, the atmosphere in the air was in a deadlock. He opened his mouth again and said, "I'll say it again. If you don't want to die, get out of the way."
The original owner saw some clues and said in a low voice, "Yijie, he only threatened but didn't do anything. This doesn't seem like his usual style …" Li Yijie also lowered his voice and replied, "That's right, I saw it too. What does that mean?"
The original owner thought for a long time and said in a low voice, "That's just my guess. Just now that kid … let's use his words, 'resurrected', but when he rebuilt his body, he didn't use any of our sacrifices. That's why he lacked the so-called strong spiritual power with strong resentment … Now his body is just … like a mold made of clay. It's difficult for his spiritual power to break in properly. In other words, the movement of his body can't keep up with the direction of his mind … That's why he looks like he's very slow … "
Li Yijie said in a low voice, "I understand. That means his martial arts are very weak now, so we should take advantage of this opportunity to defeat him?" He was so proud of his deduction that he completely ignored the original owner's muttering, "I didn't say that." He raised his head and stuck out his chest. His long sword drew a sword flower in the air and said loudly, "Do you think we're afraid of you? Come on! Bring it on if you have the ability! I'm just afraid that you'll be a mule! "
Jiang Liechen snorted coldly. Following his words, the corners of his tight lips seemed to curl up slightly. Li Yijie forced himself to laugh with his hands on his hips and raised his head to look at him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Liechen didn't show any signs of turning hostile. Suddenly, his eyes widened in anger and a red light shot out from his eyes. The light seemed to have substance. It swept past Li Yijie and the others like a long whip and knocked them down to the ground. They couldn't get up and screamed in pain. Jiang Liechen didn't pay any attention to these defeated opponents and continued to walk forward.
Li Yijie's whole body went limp. He couldn't even move a finger. He could only lie on the ground and turn his head with difficulty as he walked. He couldn't see Jiang Liechen's proud expression. He could only see the hem of his long robe slowly dragging in front of his eyes. The golden embroidery was particularly dazzling. In front of everyone, it was more like sarcasm and a show of force. The slight sound of friction from being dragged rang in everyone's ears. It was no different from silent humiliation.
His voice sounded above their heads. It was oppressive like rolling thunder. He said, "Don't be too arrogant. My current body and strength are far from enough because I haven't received any offerings. However, it's more than enough to kill you all. "
Owner Liu said angrily, "Don't be too arrogant … You brat, we should be the ones saying that!"
The original owner used his hands to support himself. After a while, he barely managed to prop up half of his body. He said, "Then … what do you want? Do you want to kill us all and use us as a sacrifice for your monster? " This was what they were most concerned about. They tried their best to open their eyes wide. They didn't even dare to breathe as they waited for his answer. They had already experienced his newly born "superhuman strength". If he really wanted to kill them, they wouldn't be able to resist in their current situation.
Jiang Liechen didn't walk far. He slowly glanced to the side and said indifferently, "I don't want to kill on the joyous day of my rebirth. Go back to the Central Plains and tell them that I, the Seven Evils Saint Demon King, have made a comeback. This time, I want the entire Divine Great Land to be completely under my rule. You only have one month. Whether you want to surrender or not, you have to think carefully. "
As he spoke, he treated the seven of them as a pile of trash that was not worth a second glance. He left without looking back. The mountain wind whistled and fluttered his clothes. Even though his back was high and mighty, he still exuded an astonishing aura of supremacy. Even after he disappeared from the horizon, the seven of them were still in a daze. They were all dumbfounded as they stared in the direction where he had disappeared to.
Li Yijie dug his fingers into the ground and said with a bitter smile, "Although I don't want to admit it, he is indeed … powerful. He only used his eyes to look at us and we are lying on the ground, unable to move? "
The Manor Master sighed, "We can't blame him for looking down on us. Look at him, he does have the ability to be arrogant. He already has such power with just his eyes. Who knows how much of his strength he can use? Moreover … the will to live and the strong obsession of the sacrifices is the source of the new body's spiritual power. It can be said that nine out of ten of his spiritual power originates from this. When he goes to the world and absorbs some resentment to increase his demonic nature, I'm afraid that no one in the world will be able to compete with him! "
Manor Master Xia said with a bitter smile, "So what? Brother Yuan, are you going to say that we have been defeated and should just admit defeat and wait for death? "
Li Yijie said with difficulty, "No … there is a saying that every thing has a weakness. No matter how strong a force is, there must be another force behind it that can restrain it. I don't believe that the Seven Demons … are invincible! "
Manor Master Liu sneered, "Next, you want to say that you need to have faith. No matter how strong the enemy is, they will be defeated by you, right? Don't say anything stupid. That's an old trick that's long gone. If everyone's faith is to be strong and invincible, won't everyone get what they want? What should he do if he met someone with a different request? Won't the world be in a mess? "
Yuan Yi propped his legs up, but he was still swaying along the way. Although the red light that shot out from his eyes didn't seem to cause any external damage, it went through their bodies and directly hurt their internal organs. Therefore, everyone felt that it was difficult to use their internal energy. At the same time, their meridians were cut off, making their whole body sore and weak.
But as time passed, this situation would gradually lessen. It was like being punched in the back. The initial pain immediately spread to the whole body. Every bone in their body hurt unbearably. After enough time, the pain would disappear. Unless they actively touched it. But the next wave of pain was only for a moment, and it was also less painful than the first wave. The seven people lay on the ground for about half an hour. The various functions in their bodies slowly calmed down.
Yuan Yi finally stood firm. His body no longer swayed unconsciously, but his hands were still supporting his knees. He gasped and said, "Yes, I also agree with what Brother Li said. Even if there is only a ten percent chance, we should try our best. If we only have faith and don't move forward, we will achieve nothing in the end. But if we have the most prosperous dream and struggle, we will often … create miracles … "
Manor Master Liu whispered in private, "Miracles can't be exaggerated, right? When have I ever heard of a mortal defeating a demon … This kind of miracle, why don't you tell me? "
