Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 210 Battle Demon Lord

From a distance, Zhou Bai's heart clenched, and a look of worry crossed his face. "Senior Brother Li, this fiend is not easy to deal with. Don't worry about me, find a chance to leave as soon as possible..."

With such terrifying destructive power, if it were him, he would probably have been smashed to pieces with a single punch, leaving no trace of his body.

Li Wudao staggered to his feet, glanced at him, and said, "If I leave, who will take care of your sister?"

Zhou Bai's expression stiffened slightly, and he fell silent.

His younger sister was his only concern, his only source of worry. If he were gone, how would she survive...?

He can die, but his sister can't.

However, he didn't want to implicate others, especially Li Wudao, who was one of the few people who treated him very well.

Seeing his concerns, Li Wudao smiled slightly and comforted him, "Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely protect you."

"Senior Brother Li..."

Zhou Bai stared blankly at the boy, his nose tingling with a little soreness.

"You dare to spout nonsense even when you're about to die? You can't even protect yourself, yet you have time to worry about others?"

Cheng Yuanliang sneered, standing with his hands behind his back in mid-air, looking at the group as if they were prey, and roared, "Today, all of you will die!"

Li Wudao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing like lightning, and said, "Enough with the nonsense! Let's fight!"

Having said that, he stomped his toes on the ground and his body transformed into an arrow, charging forward.

"The mantis is blocking the car with his arms, and he is overestimating his own abilities!"

Cheng Yuanliang frowned, unable to contain his anger.

He couldn't understand why this young man, faced with such an absolute difference in cultivation level, not only didn't show any fear but instead displayed a high fighting spirit.

Suppressing his distracting thoughts for the moment, he reached out a large hand and slowly pressed down.

"Om-"

Instantly, demonic energy surged, and a demonic hand that blotted out the sky condensed, carrying the power to crush everything, and pressed down from above.

He refused to believe that with his dignified Martial Venerable cultivation, having crossed a major realm, he couldn't crush a mere Martial King in the early stages.

"boom!"

The next instant, a deafening roar erupted above the underground palace.

Immediately afterwards, the two figures clashed rapidly in the air, the sounds of fists and feet colliding were continuous, like thunderclaps from the heavens.

"Boom! Boom!!"

Each strike contained terrifying power, causing the entire underground palace to tremble violently. Stones on the altar fell in a flurry, and the surrounding blood pool churned endlessly, stirring up towering waves of blood.

Smoke and dust filled the sky, and the figures of the two engaged in fierce combat appeared and disappeared intermittently. The aftershocks of the battle swept out like a storm, causing immense destruction.

"Senior Brother Li... he's actually going to fight against a Martial Venerable?!"

In the distance, Zhou Bai, who was placed in a corner, stared in disbelief, almost unable to believe his eyes.

To be able to fight a Demon Clan Martial Venerable with only the initial stage of Martial King is simply a fantasy!

But this scene actually happened right before his eyes, and he couldn't help but believe it.

"My God, is Senior Brother Li even human...?"

Zhou Bai subconsciously endured the pain and stood up, his heart filled with turmoil.

He was almost certain that if news of today's battle were to spread, not only would the major first-class sects of the Eastern Wilderness be shaken, but even the aloof Tianxuan Holy Land would likely be moved.

Such achievements cannot be described by words like "genius" or "prodigy".

All those monstrous geniuses pale in comparison to Senior Brother Li before him!

"Holy crap! This kid... is he really that fierce?!"

The green-haired turtle was so engrossed in watching it that his mouth went dry.

He stared intently at the two figures colliding in the smoke and dust, his beady eyes wide open, afraid of missing any detail.

After watching for a while, it couldn't help but mutter, "Damn, I knew this kid had a backup plan... I didn't expect him to be so well-hidden..."

"I must say, this ruthlessness and tenacity do bear some resemblance to the young emperor conquering the world..."

The green-haired turtle looked up, its burning gaze filled with disbelief and a subtle, complex emotion.

"boom!"

But at that moment, a tall figure flew out from the center of the battlefield and crashed heavily to the ground.

It was Li Wudao.

He swayed, blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, his face was noticeably pale, and his breathing was quite disordered.

"You ants dare to shake the heavens? Now let's see how arrogant you can be!"

With a sneer, Cheng Yuanliang slowly stepped out from the swirling energy currents filled with smoke. Although his demonic energy fluctuated slightly, his aura remained strong.

"The difference between a Martial King at the peak of his cultivation and a Martial Venerable, even if it's only half a step, is like an insurmountable chasm..."

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Li Wudao with a mocking tone, and said:

"Moreover, there is a vast chasm between us, spanning an entire realm. In my view, your actions are nothing but a stubborn resistance, utterly foolish!"

"Senior Brother Li..."

Zhou Bai looked worried, but could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

The aftershocks of the battle alone were enough to terrify him and fill him with a sense of powerlessness.

"Kid, are you alright...?"

The green-haired turtle quickly stepped forward and whispered, "No, let's retreat quickly and find another opportunity."

"It's okay, I can't die."

Li Wudao shook his head, his eyes flashing with stubbornness and determination. "If you want to leave, then leave. Today, I will kill him!"

For his own sake, for the sake of his fellow disciples, and for the sake of all those blood debts, Cheng Yuanliang cannot live.

Living even one more day is a desecration of the innocent souls who died.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth against the pain, straightened his chest, and with the fighting spirit reignited in his eyes, growled, "Again!"

As he spoke, the boy rose up again and charged forward once more.

"Hey, how come I never noticed how stubborn this kid was before... I'm not going to do anything that's just asking for trouble, I'm outta here."

The green-haired turtle pursed its lips, turned around, and started walking, preparing to leave.

"How...how can you still stand up?!"

Cheng Yuanliang's expression changed, and a look of surprise and uncertainty flashed in his eyes.

With that final blow, he clearly sensed that he had severely injured the boy, but only a few breaths later, the boy was back at full strength and charged forward again.

This is simply unbelievable and completely defies common sense!

What he didn't know was.

At this moment, within Li Wudao's body, the Vermilion Bird Treasure Bone on his chest was emitting a warm light, its tenfold vitality quietly circulating, continuously repairing the damaged meridians and body.

"What, are you scared?"

Li Wudao grinned, revealing a row of teeth stained with blood, his smile carrying a hint of arrogance and conceit.

"If you're scared, commit suicide now to atone for your sins. Perhaps if I'm in a good mood, I can grant you a complete corpse."

To be honest, this was the first time he had been injured so badly. He was in so much pain that he couldn't help but grit his teeth, but he also felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration, and his fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger.

"......"

The green-haired turtle, which had only taken a few steps, couldn't help but stop and mutter to itself.

Damn it, what time is it? This kid still has the nerve to provoke us. Is he afraid of not dying fast enough?

"You insignificant ant dare to spout such nonsense? I will grind you to dust in a moment!"

Cheng Yuanliang was completely enraged, and his killing intent reached its peak.

He once again summoned the blood-red ghost-face bell, pouring all his demonic energy into it and activating the Soul-Capturing Bell with all his might.

"Jingle Bell--!"

The ear-piercing demonic sound instantly resounded throughout the underground palace, the sound waves transforming into tangible blood-red ripples, more intense than ever before, directly attacking Li Wudao's soul.

He was unwilling to waste any more time and cause unnecessary trouble, so he decided to go all out and kill the target in one strike.

This time, he was determined to shatter the boy's soul in one fell swoop!
