350: Triple the joy!

Though Azure Nightmare's Realm was higher than Li Qi's, when he truly fought Li Qi, he couldn't help but be astonished.

“This child’s strength… is actually this formidable?!”

Azure Nightmare was currently clad in Dragon Scale Armor, and his close-combat prowess was unbelievably strong, almost like a humanoid reaper, tearing apart anything that entered his attack range.

Azure Nightmare’s close-combat ability was among the best in the entire Saint Demon Remnant Clan.

However, when he engaged in close-quarters combat with Li Qi, he discovered that Li Qi’s Physical Body… seemed even harder than his own when he was wearing the Dragon Scale Armor?

“How is that possible?”

“Just a pure Physical Body, yet it can be this strong?!”

The Demon Race had always been known for their formidable Physical Bodies, and many even coveted the Demon Race's bodies, hunting them to obtain their Demon Bodies, and then refining them into powerful zombies.

But in the close-quarters combat between the two, Azure Nightmare was surprisingly unable to suppress Li Qi, and when Li Qi’s sword struck, that sword made his heart pound with fear.

“Something’s wrong!!”

Azure Nightmare, who had battled enemies for years and walked the line between life and death, was extremely sensitive to danger. He instantly sensed the hidden killing intent within Li Qi’s golden light sword.

And when Li Qi’s sword struck him… it actually severed his left arm directly!

Intense pain surged through him, but Azure Nightmare was a tough man. His face paled slightly, yet he didn't utter a sound, then retreated rapidly.

When he looked at his severed left arm again, his heart was filled with dread. Li Qi’s sword just now had not only severed his tough Demon Body… but even the Dragon Scale Armor, transformed from the Nine Dragons, was also severed.

“What kind of sword art is this?”

Li Qi raised an eyebrow: “Want to learn? I can teach you.”

Li Qi was very satisfied with the results of that sword strike, which could be said to be outstanding.

One sword slash, like a hot knife through butter, instantly severed the opponent's limb!

Li Qi’s Exorcising Demon Purifying World Records was an auxiliary Cultivation Technique that could attach its effects to any Cultivation Technique and Move, allowing all of Li Qi’s attacks to carry terrifying Demon-exorcising effects!

And the Celestial Dao Golden Shadow Sword was Li Qi’s strongest Cultivation Technique, extremely high in Realm, and transcendent in status. Its power… even surpassed most Divine Abilities!

When the two were combined, they unleashed astonishing power!

Li Qi twirled the golden light sword in his hand, flicked his wrist, and executed a sword flourish, then charged at Azure Nightmare again.

Azure Nightmare no longer dared to directly block Li Qi’s attacks with his body, but instead constantly dodged and parried, his figure appearing somewhat disheveled.

While the two were fighting, Azure Nightmare grabbed his severed arm and tried to reattach it to his stump.

The Saint Demon Remnant Clan’s regenerative abilities were also terrifying. While not quite Rebirth from a drop of blood, reattaching a severed arm was no problem at all, healing almost instantly.

But this time, Azure Nightmare’s severed arm simply wouldn’t reattach!

At the break point of his arm, a special power was entrenched, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

This power was not only preventing his injury from healing, but it had also invaded his body, even interfering with the operation of the Demon Soul Sacred Heart Art!

But… how was this possible?

The Demon Soul Sacred Heart Art was the Saint Demon Remnant Clan’s innate Cultivation Technique, a Bloodline Legacy. How could such a Legacy Cultivation Technique be interfered with by another Cultivation Technique?

The Demon Soul Sacred Heart Art originated from the Saint Demon. Its status was extremely high, and the characteristic of this Cultivation Technique was erosion and devouring!

Eroding everything!

And devouring everything!

Other Cultivation Techniques were like food before this Demon Soul Sacred Heart Art, all objects to be preyed upon.

If there existed a predatory relationship among all Cultivation Techniques, then the Demon Soul Sacred Heart Art was undoubtedly at the very top of the food chain; it had no natural enemies.

But today's encounter made Azure Nightmare waver.

The mysterious power entrenched at his shoulder originated from an unknown Cultivation Technique… and this unknown Cultivation Technique seemed to completely counter his Demon Soul Sacred Heart Art!?

Under the interference of this special power, the Demon Soul Sacred Heart Art’s operational speed within Azure Nightmare’s body slowed down significantly, like an old, dilapidated machine, difficult to turn.

The operating speed had slowed down by nearly tenfold!

“Damn it!!!”

Azure Nightmare was a mix of shock and fury, constantly dodging Li Qi’s attacks. Since his birth, he had never felt so uncomfortable.

“I can’t be hit again… otherwise, it will be truly troublesome.”

Seeing the opposite Azure Nightmare become somewhat timid, Li Qi's heart swelled with joy. With renewed vigor, his attacks on Azure Nightmare became even more ferocious.

While constantly dodging, Azure Nightmare also launched attacks at Li Qi, attempting to force Li Qi to retreat.

The battlefield between the two became a stalemate for a time.

During this period, Li Qi also quickly pondered whether the current situation called for repelling this Azure Nightmare in one fell swoop… or killing him on the spot?

If it was just to repel this guy, it shouldn't be difficult. As long as he inflicted enough injuries on the opponent, he could make him retreat.

But only injuring without killing couldn't completely solve the problem. In the future, once this guy recovered from his injuries, he would definitely come back to kill again.

As the saying goes, it’s better to break one finger than injure ten. If he could kill this strong enemy here, that would be for the best.

But this would probably be very difficult to achieve. Injuring and killing were two different things.

If Li Qi used all his means but failed to take down this fiend, allowing him to escape… it would only reveal his trump cards to the opponent.

When they met again in the future, the opponent would be prepared, which would be unfavorable.

After a moment of contemplation, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Qi’s eyes…

Let’s do it!

Having already achieved the position of Great Emperor… why was he still so timid in his actions?

What kind of conduct was this?

Just go ahead and do it.

It’s just fighting a Saint Demon Remnant Clan member… if other Great Emperors saw it, they’d think I couldn’t handle it!

Fight one today, and another tomorrow!

Fight one every day!

Li Qi no longer hesitated. The killing intent in his eyes was as firm as iron, his gaze locked tightly onto Azure Nightmare’s figure, absolutely refusing to let him escape easily.

At this moment, two Eternal Illusion Bodies, tens of thousands of miles away, suddenly trembled. They had been clearing out various forbidden lands, but suddenly stopped, then their bodies gradually faded, disappearing from where they stood…

Li Qi withdrew these two Clones, then re-activated the Divine Ability Eternal Illusion Body. Soon, two new Clones appeared beside Li Qi.

Three identical Li Qis surrounded Azure Nightmare, revealing malicious expressions.

“Alright, let’s start again now.”

“Prepare to experience triple the joy!”
