153: Leave! The stunned demon cult members!

The Demon Lord stared at Li Shengyuan with malevolent eyes, and with only half of his mouth remaining, he spoke with difficulty: “Li Shengyuan, don’t be too pleased with yourself. I was careless this time, but next time I will definitely kill you!”

As he spoke, fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, making him look incredibly terrifying and ferocious.

Li Shengyuan, equally fatigued, let out a disdainful, cold laugh. “Next time?”

“This was already your best chance to kill me. The next time we meet, I will only be stronger. That will be your death!”

The Demon Lord remained silent, but a hint of dread was visible in his eyes.

This time, he was truly intimidated by Li Shengyuan. The spatial power of a Second Grade expert, the ability to control the power of heaven and earth, and the Heaven and Earth Dharma Body were all unable to suppress him; he had countermeasures for everything.

Even in terms of raw physical strength, Li Shengyuan, after demonization, was not much weaker than him…

This made a sense of powerlessness surge in the Demon Lord’s heart. How many trump cards did this young man possess?

The Demon Lord took a deep breath, and a spatial passage appeared behind him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Li Shengyuan, next time, you will surely die!”

Just as he was about to step into the spatial passage, Li Shengyuan and he simultaneously looked towards an entrance to the underground world.

A figure, covered in blood, flew out from the passage, extremely weak and withered, so much so that one could feel she was barely hanging on by a thread.

Behind her, two Insectoid Third Grade experts were in hot pursuit.

Upon seeing Yue Xiyan’s tragic appearance, Li Shengyuan’s eyes instantly widened, and his heart leaped into his throat.

He flew towards Yue Xiyan to meet her.

“Sister Yan!”

“Shengyuan, it’s done…”

Yue Xiyan forced a smile towards Li Shengyuan. The moment she saw that Li Shengyuan was unharmed, she also let out a long sigh of relief.

The breath that had been sustaining her and supporting her until she reached this point almost dissipated…

At this moment, the Demon Lord, who had not yet departed, looked at Yue Xiyan and gnashed his teeth, saying, “It was you, this hiding ant, who ruined my Sect’s great plans, and the Insectoid Queen was also destroyed by you!”

“Go to hell!”

The Demon Lord roared through gritted teeth. Although his limbs were completely destroyed, his life force still remained, and thus his ability to control space was still present!

Although Li Shengyuan’s flying speed was very fast, it was still slower compared to space…

The space around Yue Xiyan began to collapse, and destructive aura filled her surroundings. Her flying speed slowed down considerably. The Demon Lord intended to completely crush Yue Xiyan!

If she were at her peak, this move from the heavily injured Demon Lord would certainly not harm her.

But the current Yue Xiyan was merely at the end of her rope…

Seeing this, Li Shengyuan quickly shouted, “Sister Yan, use the spatial teleportation array disk!”

Yue Xiyan, who had already prepared to teleport away with Li Shengyuan, activated the teleportation array disk without any hesitation.

A stronger spatial fluctuation, centered on Yue Xiyan, spread outwards, quickly enveloping Li Shengyuan.

Even the Demon Lord’s spatial blockade on her began to shatter.

Just as they were about to teleport away, Li Shengyuan, with a grim face, shouted at the Demon Lord:

“The next time we meet, I will kill you!”

He embraced the extremely weak Yue Xiyan, and in the next instant, their figures vanished from their original spot…

“Spatial teleportation…”

The Demon Lord watched the place where Li Shengyuan and Yue Xiyan had teleported away, his eyes spitting fire.

He hadn’t expected them to possess such a precious treasure!

Simply damnable!

The Demon Lord stood still for a long time. The surrounding power of heaven and earth, now that Li Shengyuan’s blockade was gone, continuously surged into his body, rapidly restoring his crippled body.

Whether it was the power of ice from the Far North or the violent gale, as long as it was energy, it was absorbed into his body.

His incomplete body rapidly recovered. His missing half-head and limbs all regenerated at a visible speed.

Three days later, the Demon Lord’s body had returned to its original state, but he looked incredibly disheveled at this moment…

Although his physical body had recovered, it would take a very long time to restore his damaged foundation and his full strength. This battle had consumed too much of him.

Looking at the ravaged ground, the Demon Lord stood with his hands behind his back, expressionlessly surveying everything before him.

At this moment, three figures flew towards him at an extremely fast speed.

After a few breaths, they arrived before the Demon Lord and respectfully saluted him.

“Wang Taian, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Branch, along with his left and right protectors, greet Lord Demon Lord!”

The three bowed, looking at the ravaged ground beneath their feet, their hearts filled with shock.

Is this the strength of a Second Grade Demon Lord?!

The mere aftershocks of the battle were so terrifying!

With Lord Demon Lord guarding, the intruders should have been executed, right?

A hint of awe involuntarily arose in their hearts.

But why did they feel that the Demon Lord seemed displeased?

Seeing that the Demon Lord remained silent, Wang Taian, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Branch, spoke with some trepidation, “Lord Demon Lord, we received intelligence that Li Shengyuan and Yue Xiyan, the Palace Master of Yuehua Palace, had already left Shanhai Pass several days ago and headed directly into the depths of the Northern Ice Plains. We came specifically to provide support!”

“All other Demon Barbarian Third Grade experts have been held back by the Great Qian experts and various major sects at Shanhai Pass, unable to escape.”

The Demon Lord still said nothing, but the three felt that his hands, clasped behind his back, had tightened considerably.

The pressure in the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly intensified, almost making it impossible for the three to breathe.

The three exchanged glances, and a hint of fear appeared in their eyes. They had a bad premonition.

It couldn’t be, could it?

No matter how strong Li Shengyuan was, how could he be a match for Lord Demon Lord?

Finally, it was Wang Taian, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Branch, who cautiously asked:

“May I ask, Lord Demon Lord, are the battle traces here the result of your battle with Li Shengyuan and them?”

“Are Li Shengyuan and Yue Xiyan…?”

The pressure in the heaven and earth suddenly diminished, and Wang Taian’s words were interrupted by the Demon Lord.

When the Demon Lord’s voice, calm but suppressing anger, reached the ears of the three, they were instantly stunned, wondering if they had misheard.

“Your news came late…”

“Report to the main altar: the Insectoid Queen has been jointly eliminated by Li Shengyuan and Yue Xiyan, and the Beast Taming Elder has only one breath remaining. Besides this Venerable, all other Third Grade experts here have died!”

Originally, there were two other Third Grade experts alive, but they, half-dead, were ultimately swept away by the aftershocks of Li Shengyuan’s divine ability and the Demon Lord’s Dharma Body clashing…

This alone left the three dumbfounded, but the Demon Lord continued:

“The Insectoid army cultivation plan has thus fallen through…”

“This Venerable was also severely injured by Li Shengyuan during our battle, and he and Yue Xiyan left this place using a teleportation array disk, their whereabouts unknown. This child’s true strength is incredibly terrifying and should not be underestimated; he must be treated with caution!”

The three were instantly dumbfounded. The Second Grade Demon Lord was actually severely injured by a Third Grade Li Shengyuan?!

If these words hadn’t come from the Demon Lord himself, they would have thought someone was dreaming, going crazy, or bragging!

At this moment, a crystal appeared before the three, and the Demon Lord’s calm voice once again reached their ears.

“This is a spatial recording of this Venerable’s battle with Li Shengyuan, which can be given to the main altar for research on Li Shengyuan.”

“All subsequent actions will be directed by the main altar.”

“This Venerable needs to go into seclusion to heal his injuries. You may return…”

As soon as his voice fell, the Demon Lord’s figure vanished from the three’s sight.

Only the three, dumbfounded, were left looking at each other…
