285: I'll smash you to death!!

The youth whose right arm had been torn off by the Yao Race was none other than Li Kui, a follower of Shen Wudao and one of the Twelve Generals!

At this moment, there was no smile on his face; it was filled with gravity. Although his injuries had been temporarily staunched by Spirit Medicine, he was still not out of danger.

The next second.

A Yao Race member at the Soul Transformation Stage dropped from a tree branch to the ground with speed like a ghost, emitting thick Demonic Qi from its entire body.

Its upper body was that of a robust man, while its lower body was a coiled snake tail, which shimmered with a cold, ghostly light.

This was a member of the younger generation from the Tengshe Clan, a Royal Family of the Demon Realm from the Heavenly Demon Realm.

It possessed the strength of the Soul Transformation Middle Stage, yet it was more troublesome than a Great Yao at the Soul Transformation Perfection. The Royal Family of the Demon Realm—even if the Tengshe Clan was at the bottom, they were still a Royal Family!

"Hehehe, as expected of the Cangtian Army, they really are troublesome!" Teng Yuan flicked his snake tongue, revealing sharp fangs, and spoke in an extremely cold tone.

He had not expected that this small squad of the Cangtian Army could cause nearly fifty losses among the three hundred Yao Race members he led, and that was even with him suppressing the youth named Li Kui!

How could this be considered a great victory? It was clearly a defeat. If the numbers on both sides were equal, he would undoubtedly be defeated!

Only now did he begin to believe what was said within his clan: the sharpness of the Shen Family was the greatest among the Human Race!

As his voice fell.

Swish, swish, swish!

A hundred Yao Race members had already formed a perimeter, surrounding Li Kui and the other man, completely cutting off their retreat.

Seeing this scene.

Li Kui's expression turned cold; he knew there was no going back today.

"I will find a way to hold off the horde of Yao later. You leave and tell Lord Wudao that the Yao Race has infiltrated the rear of the Imperial City!"

"Don't let this group of beasts leave alive!"

Li Kui gritted his teeth, a trace of determination in his eyes, his heart filled with the intent to fight to the death.

He had a technique inherited from his ancestors that could temporarily burn his Divine Soul to gain powerful combat strength for a short time, but he would undoubtedly die as a result.

The middle-aged soldier just revealed a faint smile, radiating a hint of disdainful Battle Intent, and said, "The Cangtian Army has never had anyone abandon their comrades. Either we win, or we fight to the death!"

Li Kui raised an eyebrow, and just as he was about to speak, he heard an extremely unpleasant voice ring out.

"Hehehe, if I let you two escape, what face would I have to return…" Teng Yuan sneered, then stretched out a bony, withered finger and pointed it at Li Kui.

"I want to make you wish you were dead, and only eat you bite by bite at the end!"

"The reinforcements you are waiting for won't be coming anytime soon. The five Royal Families of the Monster Realm have gathered at the Heavenly Abyss, and even Lord Mo Ya has come. Have you forgotten the scene yesterday when Lord Mo Ya personally descended upon your Human Race Imperial Pass and took the head of that so-called number one on the Heavenly Ranking?"

"By the way, where is that person from your Shen Family?"

"Didn't he make such a clamor at the Xiangliu Clan a few days ago? Where has he gone now?"

"Is he too afraid to come?"

Upon hearing this.

"Pah!" Li Kui spat and grinned mockingly. "How monstrous is Emperor Shen? He is not even twenty years old. If your bullshit leader Mo Ya were the same age as Emperor Shen, Emperor Shen could crush him with a single finger!"

Although he said this with his mouth, in his heart, he still couldn't forget that scene from yesterday.

That Mo Ya was truly too terrifying!

Twenty-first layer of Returning Void, Peak of the Heavenly Palace!

He also possessed the abilities of the Candle Nine Nethers lineage, with a Bloodline approaching atavism. Rumor had it that he had even been received by his Old Ancestor and taught a Divine Ability that surpassed the Dao Integration by the immortals of the Heavenly Demon Palace. Undeniably, he was too strong!

So strong that, as of now, no one in the Human Race below the Dao Integration Realm was his match!

Even those veteran Returning Void experts were not his opponents.

Yesterday, this leader of the younger generation of the Heavenly Demon Realm, Crown Prince Candle Nine Nethers, personally ascended to the Imperial City, declaring that since Shen Nian had sent a grand gift to the Xiangliu Clan, he would come to return the favor.

Who dared to fight him?

The person ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking was a Loose Cultivator who had been immersed in the Returning Void level for who knows how many years and had already touched the threshold of Dao Integration, yet he was instantly killed by the opponent!

That scene dealt a heavy blow to countless Prodigies at the Imperial Pass!

"Hehe, even if that Shen Nian were the same age as Lord Mo Ya, he would not be Lord Mo Ya's opponent!"

"Head of the Shen Family, the youngest Human Emperor? Isn't he just a coward hiding in his shell? If he were really as powerful as the rumors say, why doesn't he dare to come to the Heavenly Abyss? Didn't Lord Mo Ya say he was willing to fight him at the same cultivation level?"

"What, nothing to say? How about this: you kneel down and beg for mercy now, and shout that Shen Nian is a turtle, and I might consider keeping you as human pets."

"How about it?"

Teng Yuan's sinister laughter rang out again, looking at the two with a mocking expression.

Boom!

A Divine Ability was released, containing a scorching aura. This was a powerful fire-type Divine Ability that instantly engulfed three Yao Race members at the Nascent Soul Early Stage. Screams and the sound of fire burning bone were mixed together.

At the same time.

A sharp Saber Intent was unleashed. The middle-aged man of the Wudao Army moved his figure, gripping his great saber with both hands. Stepping with some kind of movement Divine Ability, he instantly decapitated three Great Yao. Afterward, he leaned on his great saber, panting heavily, staring coldly at Teng Yuan.

All of this happened in an instant; the two attacked simultaneously, giving these Yao Race members no chance to react.

Teng Yuan's face instantly darkened, his killing intent becoming even more intense.

"Kill!"

"Eat them!"

A hundred Yao madly rushed toward the two, the sky-covering Demonic Qi permeating the air. The pressure alone was enough to make ordinary Soul Transformation Cultivators tremble with fear.

"Kill!"

To the surprise of the Yao horde, a somewhat childish battle cry rang out.

Behold.

Dozens of figures descended from the sky, wearing simple clothing that looked somewhat like ancient tribes. Some held spears, some carried stone knives, and they charged into the Yao horde and began a frantic slaughter.

At the lead was a sweet loli less than 1.6 meters tall, holding a huge iron hammer twice the size of her own body. The hammer emitted a brilliant purple light and was covered with ancient patterns.

"You stinky bad guys!"

"Dead Yao Race!"

"You're the turtle!"

"Emperor Shen is this Young Miss's idol, I'll smash you all to death!!"

This little loli was incredibly fierce. She stepped forward and swung a massive hammer with the force of a collapsing mountain. The space itself seemed to become illusory, and she instantly smashed a Great Yao at the Nascent Soul Early Stage into a pulp.

It was hard to imagine how such a small body could contain such immense power!

Immediately after.

Her figure moved again, like a little tyrannosaurus, swinging the iron hammer in her hand and smashing crazily.

This exaggerated scene formed a sharp contrast with her own image.

"The Tuoba Clan?"

"Is that Tuoba Qiong's younger sister, Tuoba Ling?" Li Kui recognized the newcomer and immediately looked pleased.

As long as there were reinforcements, it would be fine! This place was too close to the Imperial Pass. As long as they held out for a while longer, waiting for the concealment Formation brought by these Yao Race members to dissipate, these beasts would surely die!

Even if Lord Wudao did not arrive, the outcome would be the same!

"Where did they pop out from?" Teng Yuan's face became somewhat ugly. Seeing the Tuoba Clan suddenly charge out and enter the battlefield, he aimed directly at Tuoba Ling.

"Young Miss, watch out!"

"You wicked beast, you are courting death!"

A middle-aged man with a wolf tooth hanging from his earlobe stepped forward to block in front of Tuoba Ling and began a great battle with Teng Yuan. His Realm was higher than Teng Yuan's, and the Tuoba Clan was inherently fierce, so he was naturally unafraid.

Bang, bang, bang!

For a time, the battlefield turned into a chaotic mess, with various Divine Abilities and Demonic Techniques filling the sky. Great Yao died at any moment, and Human Race members were killed in action as well.

"No good!"

"Must leave!"

"The concealment talisman given by the Princess is about to expire!" Teng Yuan thought to himself while dealing with the middle-aged man's attacks.
