105: Blood Demon Puppet!
As soon as Lord Li said this, everyone looked at him in shock, wondering if he was joking.
Prince Yan, Muyun Xiao had broken through to the third rank a very long time ago!
It was rumored that he was only half a step away from the second rank, and perhaps he had not sent troops because he was waiting for an opportunity to break through to the second rank.
On the other hand, Lord Li, at such a young age, had already reached the peak of the fourth rank, which was indeed extraordinary!
But to say that someone at the peak of the fourth rank could kill a third-rank expert… wasn't that a joke?!
Everyone thought they had already highly regarded Lord Li,
but now they were still greatly shocked by his words.
Many people had never experienced the deathly pressure brought by a third-rank expert, but they witnessed it today.
Only then did they truly realize how big the gap was between themselves and a third-rank expert!
If one were to ask how big the gap was between the fourth rank and the third rank, Chen Qingxuan was the most qualified to speak.
He had already touched the third rank with half a foot, but he was still instantly killed by the Blood Puppet Venerable just now!
Without entering the top three ranks, one was ultimately nothing more than an ant.
Not to mention that Lord Li wanted to kill a top-tier third-rank expert like Mu Yunxiao!
Linghu Chong, who was in the crowd, was also stunned when he heard Lord Li's words.
He was very confident in his own strength and talent.
But even so, he couldn't be sure if he could defeat a third-rank expert when he reached the peak of the fourth rank.
That's right, not kill, but defeat; these are vastly different concepts.
An ordinary fourth-rank expert who could escape from a third-rank expert was already very impressive, let alone contend with, defeat, or even kill one.
Gradually, Linghu Chong's gaze towards Lord Li changed, with a hint of reverence.
Just the mere statement of wanting to kill a third-rank expert was enough to make him feel respect.
Liu Zhen, the three Golden Uniform, and a group of Demon Suppression Envoys also stared blankly at Lord Li; they had personally witnessed a fourth-rank expert forcefully killing a third-rank Demon Head, so they were not too shocked by what Lord Li said.
They were only excited!
Back in the capital, they wondered if Lord Li could kill a third-rank expert, and now they might have the chance to see it?!
Liu Zhen's hand, gripping his saber, trembled at this moment as he excitedly looked at Lord Li and said:
“Shengyuan, we are rooting for you! What Demon Head Shura could do, brothers believe you can definitely do too!”
“Hmm, don't worry, today I'll let the brothers open their eyes.” Lord Li smiled indifferently.
He didn't take any of the doubts in everyone's eyes to heart.
At this moment, Yue Xiyan, who noticed the huge change here, also temporarily stopped her battle with Stone Yifan.
Unlike her, who was as graceful as an immortal, with only slightly soiled skirt corners and a bit more energy consumed, the Giant Spirit Hall Master, Stone Yifan, looked much more miserable.
Not only were his clothes tattered, but his entire body was covered in blood, and some wounds were even deep enough to expose bone!
The difference in strength was obvious at a glance!
And the first words this powerful Yue Xiyan heard upon arriving in the crowd were that Lord Li was going to kill Mu Yunxiao, a top-tier third-rank expert whom even she wasn't confident in dealing with.
She already held him in high regard, and now seeing Lord Li's confident demeanor, she couldn't help but cast a surprised look.
Does this young man truly have the confidence to kill a top-tier third-rank expert at the peak of the fourth rank?
Yue Xiyan, who was as aloof as an immortal, grew increasingly curious about Lord Li; in such a short time, he could win her disciple's heart, and now he was confident in killing a top-tier third-rank expert…
Yue Xiyan, who usually didn't like to watch excitement, couldn't help but want to see Lord Li take action and show his skills at this moment.
Yue Xiyan turned her gaze to her tired disciple, Yue Qingmeng, beside her, and seeing the excited look on her small face, she frowned slightly and looked at Lord Li again.
At this moment, the Blood Puppet Venerable, who had finished preparing, glanced at the confident Lord Li, then turned to Mu Yunxiao and let out a series of sinister, piercing sneers.
“Mu Yunxiao, oh Mu Yunxiao, I never thought that you, the dignified Prince Yan, the God of War of the Northern Frontier, would today be looked down upon by a junior no older than twenty, who even declared he would kill you!”
“Can you really bear not to kill him?”
Just as Mu Yunxiao said, they were only in a cooperative relationship, and the Blood Puppet Venerable was very happy to mock the high and mighty Prince Yan.
Mu Yunxiao, on the other hand, looked indifferent, merely saying faintly:
“It's not for you to tell this King what to do!”
“You…” The Blood Puppet Venerable looked at Mu Yunxiao with a dark gaze.
His eyes flickered for a moment.
Finally, he snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: “Mu Yunxiao, don't waste time. My precious Blood Demon Puppet is ready and can strike at any time.”
“The longer we drag this out, the more variables there will be. By then, your desire to rule the world will be a pipe dream!”
Mu Yunxiao coldly glared at him from the side and said in a chilling voice:
“This King does not need your admonishments!”
At this moment, Zhou Bing, who was beside him, looked at Lord Li with icy eyes, cupped his fists towards Mu Yunxiao, and requested permission to act.
“Your Highness, it was one thing for this young brat to kill your subordinate general in Yanwang City, but now he even dares to speak so arrogantly and disrespectfully towards Your Highness. Please allow your subordinate to take the head of this ignorant child and offer it to Your Highness as an apology!”
Mu Yunxiao, with an indifferent expression, raised his hand to stop Zhou Bing and said faintly:
“This King will personally take this child's head!”
“Yes.”
Zhou Bing respectfully nodded and stepped back a few paces.
And judging by Zhou Bing's respectful attitude towards Mu Yunxiao, they were clearly on the same side. After a quick count, there were only two third-rank experts left on their side!
With this ebb and flow, the opponent's third-rank experts already far surpassed their own!
Thinking this, the faces of the allied forces' experts suddenly turned pale.
Linghu Chong's heart sank slightly as he looked at the current situation, not expecting that an anti-demon war would force them into a desperate situation. The Tiangang Blood Transformation Corpse Refining Array clearly had the effect of isolation in addition to assisting in combat.
It isolated communication, isolated teleportation…
Even Chen Qingxuan looked somewhat ashen, forcing a strained smile towards Lord Li and asking:
“Lord… Lord Li, what should we do now?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lord Li and Ye Hangzhou as if they had grasped at a life-saving straw.
At this moment, they were the only ones who could be their backbone.
Even Yue Xiyan, who was also a third-rank expert, couldn't compare.
However, just when it seemed things couldn't get worse, at the moment of despair for the experts, several people suddenly rushed out from the crowd simultaneously, arriving beside the Demon Head and Mu Yunxiao.
They took out a unique token and respectfully saluted, saying:
“My Lords, we are all moles planted in the various sects. Please take a look!”
The Blood Puppet Venerable laughed heartily again upon seeing this.
“Good, good, good…”
“I never thought that my Demonic Cult had infiltrated to such an extent. Little brat of the Li family, what tricks do you have left now? If you surrender now and crawl under my crotch, this Venerable will leave you a complete corpse!”
The Blood Puppet Venerable looked at Lord Li with a sneer.
Chen Qingxuan and the others looked at the familiar faces who had defected, among whom were fourth-rank elders and disciples from various sects, numbering as many as thirty!
The assembled sect experts all stared at this scene, stunned and incredulous.
“You…”
However, the only response they received was indifference.
Lord Li, seeing this scene, instead smiled with satisfaction.
“Good, you've all come out. It saves me from having to explain too much later.”
Chen Qingxuan looked blankly at Lord Li and said: “Lord… Lord Li, you knew about them…”
“Hmm, this trip to the Northern Frontier, besides destroying the Giant Spirit Hall and killing Prince Yan, was also to clear out the spies within your sects!” Lord Li nodded faintly.
The Blood Puppet Venerable snorted disdainfully, “So what if you know their identities? Today, it's you who will die, and you will all become this Venerable's blood material!”
“Blood Demon Puppet, appear and enjoy your blood feast!”
The Blood Puppet Venerable roared with a sinister laugh, but after a long while, there was no reaction whatsoever.
“What's going on?”
Just as he was stunned, Lord Li sneered coldly with disdain.
“You set up this grand array, do you really think I don't know what you're trying to do? And Blood Demon Puppet? It's still uncertain whose it is now!”
“Addressing Ye Xingzhou…”
