308: A cunning person, an honest rhinoceros!

Facing Li Shengyuan's blatant contempt and killing intent, although the Black-Robed Demon Emissary was horrified, his dignity and ferocity as a Second Grade expert and an Esteemed Emissary of the Demonic Cult were also completely ignited.

The faint light under his hood flickered violently, and his hoarse voice became even sharper with anger:

"Li Shengyuan! Do not be so arrogant!"

"In Great Qian, you rely on the advantage of the terrain and the people, and perhaps you can act with such violence! But this is the Demon Domain, the territory of the Dragon Emperor! You dare to come here alone, do you truly think my Holy Cult and the Yao Race have no one who can suppress you?!"

While shouting harshly, he secretly and frantically circulated his Demonic Technique. The shadows around him twisted and bulged like living things, attempting to break through the suppression of the Blade and Sword Divine Domain.

At the same time, his Divine Sense rapidly scanned the surroundings, searching for weak points in the Formation or an opportunity to escape.

Though his words were fierce, he already intended to retreat... Li Shengyuan's fierce reputation was known to everyone in the Demonic Cult; this ruthless character had once solo-killed two Second Grade experts overseas at the same time!

He did not think that even with the addition of the Green Rhinoceros Demon King, he would be a match for him.

The terrifying Domain displayed at this moment made him realize that a head-on clash offered absolutely no chance of victory. After all, Li Shengyuan had used this very move back then... "Spread the news! My Holy Cult will unite with the Yao Race, and we'll see how you escape then!"

The Black-Robed Demon Emissary added, appearing fierce but inwardly weak, attempting to use external threats to disturb Li Shengyuan's state of mind.

Hearing this, Li Shengyuan didn't even twitch an eyebrow, feeling as if he had heard something utterly ridiculous.

He shook his head slightly, the mocking curve at the corner of his mouth becoming more pronounced:

"Spread the news? With just you lot?"

His gaze swept indifferently over the Black-Robed Demon Emissary, then glanced at the Green Rhinoceros Demon King beside him, whose expression was constantly shifting. His tone was chillingly flat:

"Second Grade? Heh... I have slain so many Second Grades that I've almost lost count. Adding the two of you is just adding two more to the number."

He paused, standing with his hands behind his back, as the invisible charm of blades and swords around him suddenly became more solid. In the air, billions of minute blade edges and Sword Qi were humming.

"As for whether the Dragon Emperor and the other Demon Kings will find out..."

A flash of cold and absolute confidence crossed Li Shengyuan's eyes. "Within this 'Blade and Sword Divine Domain', if I say no one will know, then even the secrets of heaven can be severed, and all laws must fall silent!"

"Everything that happens here today will be buried here along with your lives."

"Arrogant!!!"

"Insolent!!!"

At these words, the Green Rhinoceros Demon King and the Black-Robed Demon Emissary roared simultaneously, no longer able to suppress the frantic killing intent born from a mixture of rage and fear!

To be so blatantly despised, viewed as lambs for the slaughter and numbers that could be erased at will... for them, as an overlord of a region and an Esteemed Emissary of the Demonic Cult, this was a humiliation harder to endure than death!

"Attack together and kill him! This King refuses to believe that the two of us together cannot slay him alone!"

Yellow light erupted from the Green Rhinoceros Demon King's single horn, and his body expanded even further.

Heavy earth-attribute Demon Power transformed into physical rock armor covering his entire body. He roared, charging toward Li Shengyuan like a moving mountain!

With every step he took, the ground cracked and collapsed, his momentum terrifying!

A faint light flashed in the Black-Robed Demon Emissary's eyes. Although he knew he was no match, there was no way back now; he could only fight for his life!

He shrieked, no longer holding back. The Demonic Technique within his body circulated frantically, his wide black robe moving without wind as countless pitch-black, twisted shadow tentacles—emanating a thick sense of misfortune and corrosion—strangled toward Li Shengyuan from all directions!

Wherever the tentacles passed, even space emitted a faint sizzling sound, being eroded by the evil power upon them.

Facing the combined, furious attack of two Second Grade experts, Li Shengyuan did not move his feet even an inch.

He only lightly lifted his eyelids and murmured, "Gods and Demons..."

Before he finished speaking, the space beside him suddenly blurred and distorted!

Immediately after, two towering phantom figures, emanating completely different yet equally terrifying and peerless auras, stepped out from the void!

The one on the left was entirely shrouded in sacred and brilliant golden light. Its specific features were unclear, but one could feel the vast, radiant, majestic, and all-piercing supreme Sword Intent!

In the phantom's hand was a magnificent greatsword condensed entirely from golden divine light. Wherever the blade pointed, all evil was repelled!

The one on the right was immersed in deep and pure dark devilish light. A domineering, unrestrained, and resolute Saber Intent that could cleave through all obstacles soared into the sky!

In the phantom's hand was a pitch-black demon blade that seemed capable of swallowing light, its blade flowing with the rhythm of destruction.

The Divine Phantom wields the sword!

The Demonic Phantom holds the blade!

Li Shengyuan tapped his finger, and the two phantoms of god and demon moved simultaneously.

The golden greatsword in the Divine Phantom's hand vibrated slightly, and a streak of Radiant Sword Gang—pure to the extreme and capable of purifying all filth in the world—shot out silently but as fast as lightning, striking directly at the overwhelming shadow tentacles.

The pitch-black demon blade in the Demonic Phantom's hand swung casually, and a domineering saber glow—condensing boundless destructive will and ready to cleave the world apart—tore through the sky, fiercely meeting the charging Green Rhinoceros Demon King.

High damage from the left hand, high damage from the right hand!

"Chiii!!!"

The moment the Radiant Sword Gang met the shadow tentacles, there was no earth-shattering explosion, only the sound of peaceful dissolution!

Those countless shadow tentacles containing intense corrosive evil power were like meeting their natural enemy before the pure and sacred sword light; they snapped and evaporated inch by inch, without even a shred of resistance!

The Black-Robed Demon Emissary groaned, the devilish light around him fluctuating violently, clearly having suffered no small injury.

"Rumble!!!"

On the other side, the Overbearing Saber Glow collided fiercely with the Green Rhinoceros Demon King's massive rock fist.

This was a truly terrifying collision.

The violent energy shockwave swept in all directions, completely leveling the already ruined palace remains!

On the Green Rhinoceros Demon King's massive fist, which was capable of shaking mountains and splitting the earth, cracks appeared in the thick rock armor.

His massive body was sent staggering backward by the strike, each step leaving deep craters in the ground, and the yellow light on his single horn dimmed significantly!

However, during this initial exchange where both sides seemingly went all out... a flash of cunning and ruthlessness suddenly crossed the eyes of the Black-Robed Demon Emissary, whose Devilish Qi had been scattered by the Divine Phantom's Sword Gang.

His originally forward-charging figure suddenly stalled, and then his wide black robe abruptly expanded and exploded.

"Bang!"

The black robe turned into black cloth fragments flying all over the sky, each piece burning with a strange black flame and emitting ripples that confused Divine Sense, instantly disrupting perception in a small area.

At the center of the exploding robe, a dark figure—several times more solid yet with a more hidden aura—shot toward the edge of the Blade and Sword Divine Domain, toward the seemingly weakest part of the earth-yellow Formation membrane, at a speed far exceeding his previous pace!

At the same time, his hoarse roar, tinged with a hint of smugness, echoed throughout the area:

"Green Rhinoceros! This man's divine abilities are strange and cannot be resisted. You hold him off for now! I will go fetch reinforcements, summon the experts of my Holy Cult and your allies, and we will surely surround and kill him here!"

This sudden turn of events left the Green Rhinoceros Demon King, who was struggling to steady himself, completely dumbfounded!

He widened his copper-bell-like eyes, watching the Esteemed Emissary of the Demonic Cult who had abandoned his ally to flee for his life without hesitation.

A surge of rage and grievance from being betrayed and used as an abandoned pawn instantly overwhelmed his reason!

"Bastard! You despicable, shameless scoundrel!!!"

The Green Rhinoceros Demon King let out an earth-shattering roar, trembling all over with rage.

He finally realized that his full-force charge just now had actually served as cover for this Demonic Cult thief's escape!

What combined attack, what reinforcements—it was all a pack of lies!

Humans really are no good.

Compared to humans, the Yao Race is still too honest... Meanwhile, that dark figure had already reached the edge of the Blade and Sword Divine Domain.

The Black-Robed Demon Emissary was ecstatic. As long as he could break the Domain and create a gap to escape, the vast Demon Domain lay outside. With his Second Grade cultivation and Demonic Cult secret methods, it would be difficult for Li Shengyuan to catch him again!

Once the news was spread, the Cult Leader and the "allies" within the Yao Race would naturally come to deal with this fierce man!

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the Formation membrane and a savage smile of relief had already appeared on his face... Li Shengyuan, who had been standing with his hands behind his back as if indifferent to everything, finally turned his head slightly. His gaze fell upon the speeding dark figure like he was looking at a clown.

His lips moved slightly, uttering only four words. His voice was not loud, yet it clearly overrode all the energy rumbles and roars in the field.

With a condescending, almost pitying mockery:

"Wishful thinking."

As those four words fell, the previously calm and flowing Blade and Sword Divine Domain suddenly... came alive!
