Inside the strategy hall of the Demon God Realm’s defense line.
There were many powerful beings gathered here, all discussing the recent events of the Sky Demon’s incursion, as this behavior was unusual and forced everyone to be on high alert once more.
"These Great Demons of the Demon God Realm have started using underhanded tactics, hiding among a group of Sky Demons, catching us off guard, tearing open a corner of the defense line, and escorting several Sky Demons across it without engaging us in direct combat. This sudden change must have a purpose."
Sun Boxiu, the headmaster of the Golden Academy, spoke gravely within the hall, then turned to the side: "Professor Wu Yong, how is the situation on your side? Did that Great Demon cause any casualties?"
"The Great Demon had no intention of fighting head-on, and retreated imdiately after a brief encounter." Wu the Taoist, dressed in a suit, showing no signs of his status as a cultivator from the Dharma Decline World, replied.
"However, before leaving, the Great Demon escorted three Sky Demons past the defense line. Ji Wu, how about on your side?"
A tall man with dragon-like Qi-Blood, bare-chested, spoke coolly: "Of course, I killed it. Just a Sky Demon; it’s not the first I’ve killed. Once I breakthrough in Martial Arts, I hope to face a Great Demon. I’m glad I ca to Earth, where there are countless formidable foes. Just the Demon God Realm alone has benefited greatly."
"It’s a pity I haven’t encountered a cultivator yet. I wonder if a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator is easier or harder to kill compared to a Sky Demon."
His purpose here was not to protect Earth but to challenge formidable enemies and hone his martial arts.
After speaking, Ji Wu glanced at a woman in a magic robe beside him: "Aisi, it seems the Sky Demon you were responsible for escaped."
The mature woman in the magic robe, with a graceful deanor, apologized slightly: "I’m very sorry. My magic spell couldn’t trap that Sky Demon. It was my oversight."
"Magic spells are unreliable, practice martial arts with . You might forge a path of Dual Cultivation of Martial Arts and Dao, bringing imnse future achievents." Ji Wu spoke, inviting the woman nad Aisi to practice martial arts.
"Thank you for your offer, Mr. Ji Wu, but I have no intention of practicing martial arts for now." Aisi smiled slightly and declined imdiately.
"The third Sky Demon had already escaped the defense line, but was unexpectedly killed. According to my information, the person who killed it is nad Li Yi. I believe everyone here knows him."
A man in nano battle armor, Xiao Jianjun, the military officer in charge of the Demon God Realm’s defense line, spoke.
Li Yi?
The ntion of this na startled several people in the strategy hall.
"I recall that after Li Yi tead up with us to eliminate Du Bai Zhi last ti, he disappeared, likely crossing realms. After all, people from the Xuanxian Continent are after him. Staying on Earth for long would be too dangerous. I didn’t expect him to return this ti."
The speaker was Chen Daoheng, who had interacted with Li Yi and knew so of his circumstances.
"Crossing realms and imdiately taking down a Sky Demon, his strength has improved significantly." Li Jinyun said: "I too have passed the Spirit Tribulation. With my multi-path cultivation, handling a Sky Demon isn’t a problem. However, killing one in such a short ti is almost impossible for ."
The Sky Demons of the Demon God Realm are not pushovers to be easily dealt with just because of multi-path cultivation. Having faced them many tis, we deeply understand their formidable power.
Every Sky Demon erged from countless deadly battles, not so being who only ever cultivates in seclusion.
Wu the Taoist narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling sowhat surprised.
It’s known that a Sky Demon is equivalent to a Chao Yuan Realm cultivator. To kill it, even with Taiyi’s multi-path cultivation and the aid of a Dao Artifact, one must be at least at the Great Perfection of the Five Qi Realm.
But how could Taiyi complete the Five Qi Realm in such a short span after crossing realms?
Each realm of his consists of twelve acupoints, with mana twelve tis that of ordinary cultivators. Each breakthrough is challenging, requiring at least three to five years. Achieving Great Perfection would take decades at the shortest.
These doubts troubled Wu the Taoist internally.
"Li Yi being able to kill a Sky Demon is significant for us. Having such a powerful evolver join ans a more stable defense line." Xiao Jianjun said.
"The key to holding the line lies with the Great Demons and Demon Kings. In the Demon God Realm, Sky Demons are rely leaders and cannot sway the overall situation, whereas within our defense, the only one capable of repelling a Great Demon is Professor Wu Yong."
At this mont, another man spoke. He too wore ancient armor, a treasured sword at his side, like an ancient general. However, his strength was not weak; he passed the Spirit Tribulation and cultivated multiple paths, making him a presence capable of facing Sky Demons in the entire defense line.
People glanced at him.
Recognizing him as a talent from the Cross-border Alliance, nad Jiang Bin.
"The number of Great Demons is limited. Even under the Sky Moon Demon King, there are not many Great Demons. The three Great Demons led by Du Bai Zhi were all destroyed at the Golden Academy, and recently, Li Yue killed one outside the defense line, and Professor Wu Yong heavily injured another. That Great Demon was slain by a mythical creature Garuda near Tianchang City... in total, five Great Demons have already been killed."
Xiao Jianjun said: "Thus, their backbone is the Sky Demons. As long as we withstand their cross-realm incursions, the Demon God Realm poses no threat."
The man previously called Jiang Bin said: "Xiao Jianjun, don’t forget the Demon God Realm has more than just the Sky Moon Demon King. If he joins forces with other Demon Kings, the number of Great Demons will increase."
"Furthermore, the Demon Kings have yet to show themselves in the battle. Which among us can contend with a Demon King? Li Yue? I don’t believe even she is a match for a Demon King. While she can kill a Great Demon, facing the top-tier Demon King with Jade Rabbit Bloodline would likely spell dire consequences." Jiang Bin said.
This statent caused many to furrow their brows in silence.
Although Jiang Bin’s words seed to dampen their morale, they were truthful.
The Jade Rabbit Bloodline is on par with mythical Golden Crow Bloodline. Should the Sky Moon Demon King make a move, the defense line might be torn apart imdiately.
"Rest assured, if the Sky Moon Demon King wanted to act, he would have done so already. His inaction is certainly due to so incapacity, or else this defense battle wouldn’t have continued this long."
Suddenly.
A sudden voice erged, and a tall, handso young man strode in, his black hair draping over his shoulders, imbued with Dragon and Tiger Energy, silver arcs of electricity flickering around him.
With a re glance, one could sense the imnse aura emanating from him.
"Li Yi?"
Many people couldn’t help but glance over when they saw the newcor.
Indeed, after a period of absence, Li Yi had undergone a remarkable transformation, his martial prowess now capable of confronting a Sky Demon.
However, despite the strength of his aura, it lacked honing; his martial prowess was yet to be fully realized.
So did he co to the front line this ti to refine himself?
"Are you Li Yi?"
The first to speak was the man nad Ji Wu, whose eyes at that mont seed to blaze with fire, as he could sense that Li Yi too was a practitioner of Martial Arts.
Moreover, he had already condensed his Fist Intent.
This very much suited his appetite.
There’s nothing more exhilarating than sparring with a Martial Artist.
Li Yi also sensed the gaze from the other side. He looked over and recognized the person as well. It was the fierce warrior just now, his Qi-Blood like a dragon, battling the Sky Demon. Bai Sinan had ntioned this person—he was Luo Tianyou’s senior brother, nad Ji Wu.
"Interested in sparring for a bit?" Ji Wu stepped forward with a large stride, a smile on his face, and couldn’t help but say, as his exceedingly vigorous Qi-Blood inadvertently emanated.
The entire conference hall was affected by this Qi-Blood, the temperature suddenly soaring, as if entering a gigantic furnace.
"You are Luo Tianyou’s senior brother, Ji Wu? I’ve heard of you; you are a master from the Martial Arts World, not an Earthling." Li Yi said, "But I have no interest in sparring with you at the mont; perhaps we will have an opportunity in the future."
"Your temperant doesn’t resemble that of a Martial Artist at all," Ji Wu said, "Since you’re not willing to spar, fine, take a punch from and I won’t cause you any trouble afterward."
As soon as he finished speaking, his fist slowly rose.
This punch carried Fist Intent, unmatched in its dominance, seemingly embodying the essence of overwhelming the world with one’s fist.
Li Yi saw through the other’s intentions; he wasn’t trying to contest through power, fearing collateral damage to others, but rather wished solely to compare Fist Intent, to see whose was superior.
"Interesting."
Seeing this, Li Yi did not back down, his gaze sharpening, and he too assud a boxing stance, followed by a surge of Fist Intent from within his body.
The ergence of this Fist Intent transford him into a wrathful Vajra, and in his fury, he seed ready to destroy all beings with a single punch; anyone standing in his way would be obliterated.
"Great Fist Intent," Ji Wu’s eyes suddenly widened, and he beca excited.
This Fist Intent.
Throughout his adventures in the Martial Arts World, he’s encountered countless talents, but never anyone with such Martial Arts Fist Intent.
Both n threw their punch almost concurrently.
This punch contained no Fist Power whatsoever, and the two were separated by several ters, with no direct confrontation between them.
Yet within the eting room, a sudden storm of ntal turmoil brewed.
Everyone vaguely perceived a dominant, unparalleled Qi-Blood True Dragon eting an angry-eyed Vajra, while in reality, nothing happened—nothing existed.
Boom!
Everyone’s mind suddenly shook but imdiately regained clarity.
Each of their Fist Intents had dissipated by then.
Who won and who lost?
They were very curious, eager to know which side could prevail in this contest of Martial Artists and their Fist Intents.
"Li Yi’s Martial Arts level is not high, unmatched by Ji Wu’s upper limits in Martial Arts, so he should be at a disadvantage," Chen Daoheng observed from the side, thinking silently.
Others thought so too.
Because, so far, the highest level of Martial Arts Skill at the Golden Academy ca from the Martial Arts World Luo Tianyou mastered; all other Martial Arts were inferior, including Li Yi’s.
As his Martial Arts were lacking, Li Yi’s Martial Arts Will should naturally overshadow Ji Wu’s.
However, to everyone’s surprise.
Ji Wu suddenly, without apparent reason, stepped back half a step.
This change was so abrupt that even he himself seed unaware.
And Li Yi, almost instinctively, stepped forward half a step.
Yet, neither side sustained any damage.
With no damage incurred, why did the contest of Fist Intent cause Ji Wu to step back half a step?
