606: Chapter 17 Using Law to Fight Chonglou

"Elder Brother Meng, help! This Red-Haired Demon wants to kill me!"

Seeing Meng Li emerge, Jing Tian hurriedly called for help, moving around the Demon Sword to hide behind Meng Li as he spoke.

Chonglou also took the opportunity to cast a scrutinizing gaze at Meng Li: "Who are you?"

"Meng Li," Meng Li replied indifferently, then said, "Chonglou, you descended to the Human Realm across the boundaries, damaged the Lock Demon Tower, and took the Demon Sword, all just to complete that undecided battle with the Divine General Feipeng."

"But because Feipeng accepted your challenge, he neglected his duties, leading to the invasion of the Heavenly Realm by demons, and was ultimately banished to the Human Realm."

"By the time of the Human Realm, over a thousand years have passed."

"Feipeng has not only changed from a god to a human but has also undergone Reincarnation at least ten times. His memories and Divine Power have long since faded away, no longer what they once were."

As he spoke, he pointed at Jing Tian and continued, "He is now nothing more than a Mortal. Why must you keep hounding him?"

Chonglou countered, "Feipeng is the only opponent this seat acknowledges. How could a mere thousand years of Reincarnation make him fade into the crowd? Besides, the matters between this seat and Feipeng are not for you to interfere in."

Having finished speaking, he swung the yanbo bloodblade, slashing out a dark red blade light towards Meng Li.

Meng Li raised a finger, and a bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air, accurately striking the dark red blade light and dispersing it.

Seeing this, Chonglou narrowed his eyes slightly and swung his blade repeatedly again.

Several blade lights shot out together, their power multiplying.

Upon seeing this, Meng Li raised his hand and brushed his sleeve, and a scene of surrounding stars appeared around him.

Those blade lights fell into the stars like a clay ox entering the sea, only causing small ripples before being drawn by the constellations to merge into a single massive blade light, its power even greater.

In an instant, Meng Li waved his hand, the constellations reversed, and the massive blade light was drawn back, turning around to slash at Chonglou.

Seeing this situation, Chonglou's eyes brightened slightly, and instead of anger, he felt joy.

He clearly sensed that Meng Li handled his attacks effortlessly, and this method of handling them was something he had seen for the first time.

Not dodging, not taking it head-on, not meeting strength with strength, but rather deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces, even guiding several scattered blade lights together to merge into one. Then returning it with a special technique, using his own power against him, with the power being thirty percent stronger than before.

Quite interesting!

With thoughts flashing through his mind, Chonglou's reactions were not slow at all. He swung the yanbo bloodblade, slashing out a blade light to cancel out the returning massive blade light. Then he did not continue to attack, but instead asked Meng Li with great interest, "What move is this?"

"Shifting Stars," Meng Li replied.

"A good name, but to shift the stars and change the constellations, we'll have to see if you have the ability."

After saying that, Chonglou clenched one hand into a fist and struck out a bolt of dark red lightning towards Meng Li.

Meng Li took a step and activated Eight Doors Transportation, using the Eight Gates Space to disappear from the spot along with Jing Tian and the Demon Sword.

The strike missing, Chonglou was a bit surprised, but his interest grew even more.

Space Spells are not something just anyone can Master.

Even the Feipeng of back then could not do it.

Chonglou closed his eyes, sensing carefully, then revealed his wings, spreading them and flying swiftly, catching up to the not-yet-distant Meng Li and Jing Tian.

However, besides Meng Li and Jing Tian, there was another person at the scene—Xu Changqing!

Seeing this, Chonglou pointed at Xu Changqing and said disdainfully, "This little Daoist cannot protect you."

Meng Li said, "I know that, of course. I didn't come here to seek Daoist Xu's protection; I simply calculated that he was coming to find Jing Tian, so I brought him over specifically to save him the effort of searching, while also verifying a few things."

Then, without waiting to be asked, he said, "The creatures of the Six Realms vary in strength, yet they have maintained a balance and developed until now."

"Part of the reason is the unceasing self-improvement of the creatures in each realm, but more so, it should be the checks and balances of the laws of heaven and earth."

"When a creature from one realm crosses the barrier into another, the weak are unaffected, but the strong are suppressed by the rules. The stronger they are, the greater the suppression."

"This is the Human Realm, not the Demon Realm."

"You are of the Demon Race, and even the strongest Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. Coming across the boundaries, under the suppression of the laws of heaven and earth, I'm afraid you can't even display forty or fifty percent of your full power."

"So what?" Chonglou asked back indifferently, which was an admission that his strength would be suppressed in the Human Realm. Then he added, "Even if I can only use half of my strength, no one in the Human Realm can do anything to this seat."

"That remains to be seen."

Meng Li replied, then said to Xu Changqing, "Daoist Xu, take Jing Tian to Shushan first. Leave things here to me."

"This..."

"Your strength is insufficient; staying here won't help much. You might as well finish your task first. If you want to help me later, you can ask your Master and the others for a way."

Xu Changqing had briefly fought Chonglou at Shushan before and understood he was far from being his opponent. He had also seen Meng Li's methods and knew his strength was above his own. In this situation, doing as Meng Li said was the wise move.

So, he nodded, "Alright, Brother Meng, be careful."

Jing Tian followed up, "Elder Brother Meng, take care."

Meng Li nodded slightly.

Immediately, Xu Changqing used Sword Kinesis to take Jing Tian away.

Chonglou did not stop the two from leaving.

He could see that although Jing Tian was the Reincarnation of Feipeng, his current strength was indeed poor, completely incomparable to the Feipeng of the past. The reason he was pressing so hard was that he really couldn't find an opponent and could only pressure Jing Tian, hoping he would Awakening under the pressure.

But now, Chonglou had developed some interest in Meng Li, who could trade blows with him and Master space Spells.

If Meng Li could become a second opponent besides Feipeng, it would be for the best for him.

As a battle fanatic, Chonglou wasn't afraid of having many opponents; he was afraid of having none.

If Meng Li's strength couldn't satisfy him, at worst, he would just go to Shushan to find Jing Tian again.

In any case, those people at Shushan couldn't do anything to him anyway.

"It's not convenient to fight here. Follow me."

Meng Li said plainly, turning into a stream of light and flying into the distance.

Not to be outdone, Chonglou spread his wings and turned into a red meteor to catch up.

After a chase, the two quickly arrived at a vast, uninhabited area.

"Make your move!"

"Let this seat see your true strength."

The man and the demon stood firm on the ground. Chonglou rubbed the yanbo bloodblade and said to Meng Li.

Meng Li's response was—Kun Character - Earth River Cart!

The ground beneath Chonglou's feet suddenly rose with jagged peaks, carrying the power of the earth, knocking him, unprepared, into the air.

But in an instant, Chonglou reacted, flapping his wings to stabilize himself in mid-air.

However, the protruding jagged peak turned into a massive earth-stone Dragon, pouncing fiercely towards him.

Chonglou snorted coldly, swinging the yanbo bloodblade to meet the earth-stone Dragon with a cross-slash.

Two dark red blade lights poured out from the bloodblade, growing as they met the wind, slashing the earth-stone Dragon's head in a red cross shape, cutting through like a hot knife through butter until they reached the bottom and dissipated.

To Chonglou's surprise, this strike did not end this round of the battle.

With a wave of Meng Li's hand, the earth and stones from the shattered Dragon suddenly smashed towards him like a meteor shower.

Kun Word: Flowing Stones!

The change came suddenly, catching Chonglou off guard. He was inevitably hit and then smashed into the ground, carried by the force of the flowing stones.

Almost simultaneously, the ground began to flow like river water, swallowing him up.

Kun Character - Earth River Cart!

It wasn't until he sank underground and was no longer being attacked that Chonglou recovered from his daze.

It wasn't that his reactions were slow, but that the type of opponent was different.

Although Chonglou could use ranged attacks, he was essentially a warrior, accustomed to and skilled at fist-to-flesh, close-quarters combat. The opponents he had encountered before, including Feipeng, were basically warrior types.

But Meng Li had just taken the mage route, and he was an old mage who had mastered combos.

Once the opening strike was effective, it was one set after another.

Chonglou was encountering this fighting style for the first time and had no experience at all. Once he was hit, he was completely swept away by the smooth sequence.

After coming to his senses, he urged his magic power and flew rapidly towards the surface.

However, just as half of his body emerged, a thick bolt of heavenly lightning descended from the sky, striking him right on the head...
