225: Tongue

The exit was already within reach.

"Sword Soul, how about I capture a tongue to bring back?"

In an instant, Li Qi asked.

Sword Soul: ???

Sword Soul was instantly stunned; he felt as if he had misheard.

Seeing that Sword Soul did not object, Li Qi suddenly turned around and slammed a palm behind him.

Palm Sun and Moon!

A giant palm appeared out of thin air, with the Sun and Moon Great Mill revolving endlessly within its grasp.

Terrifying pressure swept over, instantly enveloping the bodies of these Otherworldly Slaves.

As the terrifying pressure struck, the advancing figures of these Otherworldly Slaves abruptly paused, delayed for a moment.

Their reaction was also swift; they likewise unleashed Divine Abilities towards the giant palm.

The giant palm, formed by the evolution of Palm Sun and Moon, suffered a heavy blow, instantly becoming tattered, even missing two fingers.

Li Qi chuckled. His palm had only delayed the Otherworldly Slaves for an instant, slightly obstructing them, but this tiny gap… was enough for Li Qi to act.

The giant hand extended two fingers, lightning-fast, and pinched one of the Three Realms-level Otherworldly Slaves!

This Otherworldly Slave was the weakest among these fellows!

Just like pinching a fly, the Sun and Moon Great Mill rotated and crushed, suppressing this Three Realms-level Otherworldly Slave. Then, both the giant palm and the Otherworldly Slave were thrown by Li Qi into the Azure Void Realm!

"Success!"

Li Qi’s figure did not linger for a moment, instantly darting out of the Heavenly Devil Battlefield’s entrance and escaping.

As Sword Soul had said, the other Otherworldly Slaves stopped before the entrance and did not pursue.

The frenzied expressions on the Demonic Slaves’ faces quickly calmed down, returning to their dull, rigid appearance…

The surrounding Devilish Qi black smoke slowly drifted over, and the figures of these Otherworldly Slaves also slowly disappeared into the black smoke…

…

After Li Qi escaped the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, he quickly turned his head to look. Upon realizing that the Otherworldly Slaves had not pursued him, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"I gambled correctly…"

This trip to the Heavenly Devil Battlefield was exceptionally perilous, but Li Qi had long been mentally prepared.

Although there were traces of Demonic creatures here, Feng Xiuran was able to retreat unscathed from this place… How could Li Qi possibly encounter trouble so easily?

At any rate, Li Qi was also a World Breaker, blessed with great Luck, and not so easily killed.

Although he was blocked by a large group of Otherworldly Slaves… he still managed to escape, didn’t he?

After leaving the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, Li Qi did not go to the nearby guardian’s stone city. Instead, he directly moved far away from the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, running several hundred miles in one breath before stopping.

"Alright, that’s far enough."

"Let’s go see that tongue."

Li Qi leaped, diving into the Azure Void Realm.

Upon seeing the captured Otherworldly Slave again, the fellow’s appearance had drastically changed.

This Otherworldly Slave was suppressed by the Sun and Moon Great Mill of Palm Sun and Moon, unable to move.

Most strikingly, the Otherworldly Slave’s body was covered in small palm prints. His aura was weak, and he had already fallen into a coma.

As Li Qi descended into this world, a group of small, well-behaved figures immediately gathered around him.

"We… greet our Honored Master!"

Li Qi also smiled and nodded: "It’s been a few days since I last saw you. You’ve grown bigger again."

These Crane Children had grown a bit more, now around eight or nine years old, each lively and agile, making one want to go forward and hug them.

Just a moment ago, Palm Sun and Moon had captured the Otherworldly Slave from outside. This Otherworldly Slave was quite troublesome, struggling desperately and roaring repeatedly, immediately attracting the attention of these Crane Children.

"What kind of Prodigy is causing mischief here!?"

These Crane Children swarmed forward, and then each gave the Otherworldly Slave a slap.

The Crane Children were all World King Realm powerhouses. Although their individual strength was slightly inferior to this Otherworldly Slave, their numbers were extremely large!

With a slap from each of them… this Otherworldly Slave was almost directly beaten to death.

The Otherworldly Slave was severely injured on the spot, instantly falling into a coma, and was completely suppressed by Palm Sun and Moon.

"Good!"

"You did very well!"

Li Qi was very satisfied with the Crane Children’s performance. Having subordinates was indeed good; he didn’t have to do everything himself.

At this moment, the broken sword in the palace also flew over. The eye on the sword body looked at Li Qi, with a hint of complexity in its gaze.

"Li Qi, you truly outdid yourself…"

When Li Qi told him about wanting a tongue just now, Sword Soul hadn’t even reacted yet, and Li Qi not only acted on his words but actually succeeded.

Li Qi also chuckled softly: "Leaving the Heavenly Devil Battlefield like that would be unwise. I suspect these Otherworldly Slaves might know something, so I might as well capture one to bring back."

"Perhaps I can extract something useful from him."

The broken sword swayed up and down, agreeing with Li Qi’s view: "You are right."

"I never thought your mind would be so clear in that critical moment, that you could even think of these things."

Li Qi smiled without speaking.

Sword Soul thought the situation just now was dangerous… but was it truly dangerous?

Li Qi thought otherwise.

He had quite a few World King Realm Crane Children and Fire Feather Children under his command. If he released them, even if they couldn’t kill those Otherworldly Slaves, they could certainly buy Li Qi time to escape.

Although he was chased by a group of Otherworldly Slaves just now… Li Qi was not flustered at all!

He was very steady!

Li Qi looked at Sword Soul: "The tongue has been captured. Can you get information about the Demonic creature from him?"

Sword Soul nodded: "There’s a way. Leave it to me…"

A flash of sword light, and the broken sword arrived in front of the suppressed Otherworldly Slave.

The eye on the broken sword emitted a mystical light, enveloping the Otherworldly Slave’s figure.

Soul Searching Technique!

Not long after, the broken sword flew back.

Sword Soul’s voice was a bit hoarse.

"So that’s it. I know what’s going on with these Otherworldly Slaves…"
