Of the twelve Demon Saints, Xue Li’s moving technique was the most outstanding. Although Chang Tian’s movements were fast, he was still unable to escape.
As the two Demon Saints fought back and forth, their Demonic Qi fluctuated and a violent energy fluctuation swept out.
At this moment, Yang Kai, who was being protected by Chang Tian, suddenly felt a great sense of danger. Without even thinking about it, he raised his hand and Yu Rumeng and Bei Limo appeared.
Under the surge of the Ice Laws, several transparent hexagonal ice shields formed around Yang Kai, protecting him. Bei Limo’s reaction was also quite fast. Although she didn’t know what was happening, because they had discussed beforehand that if Yang Kai summoned her without calling out, he would definitely encounter a powerful enemy.
As such, when she realized she was no longer in the Mysterious Small World, she immediately used her defensive Divine Ability and formed her ice shield before scanning her surroundings to investigate the situation.
At the same time she made her move, Yu Rumeng also didn’t remain idle. Her beautiful eyes blossomed like a lotus flower and in the next moment, she shouted, “Wu Hua!”
In the surrounding area, other than the few of them, there was only Xue Li’s figure that was pursuing them, but under Yu Rumeng’s eye technique, she could see a nearly non-existent shadow close to them.
Shadow Demon Master, Wu Hua!
An almost imperceptible darkness was rapidly approaching Yang Kai, and in the blink of an eye, it had broken through several ice shields.
It wasn’t that Bei Limo’s strength was inferior to Wu Hua’s, it was just that Wu Hua had gathered his strength for this attack, but Bei Limo had reacted so quickly that she didn’t even know who her enemy was, so how could this Divine Ability block the Shadow Demon Master’s attack?
With a loud bang, the ice shield shattered into dust, but the black dot didn’t slow down in the slightest as it shot towards Yang Kai’s chest.
Shadow Demon’s ability to kill with a single strike was a characteristic of this race. Even the most ordinary Shadow Demon could instant kill in the battle, let alone Demon Saint Wu Hua.
Yu Rumeng’s expression changed drastically. Although Yang Kai’s strength was extraordinary, he was still only a High-Rank Demon King, so how could he block Wu Hua’s fatal blow?
When she raised her hand, her arm instantly became like a snake, weak and boneless, coiling towards the source of the darkness and sending out a palm strike filled with Demon Qi.
Not able to resist at all! Yu Rumeng’s complexion immediately paled.
She could only watch as the black dot broke through the defences and stabbed towards Yang Kai’s chest.
At this moment, another resounding dragon roar rang out as a giant golden dragon head appeared behind Yang Kai and flew into his back, covering his body with a layer of dragon scales.
Under Dragon Transformation, Yang Kai’s defense greatly increased, but he didn’t just sit back and wait for death. While activating the Dragon Transformation Technique, he also used his Nihility Secret Technique to expel himself into the void.
However, Demon Saint Wu Hua was a powerful character, so this sure-kill strike was locked into his aura. Even if Yang Kai escaped into the void, he wouldn’t be able to avoid it, so the killing blow landed on his chest.
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Yang Kai’s figure, which had just disappeared a moment ago, reappeared. With a muffled groan, Yang Kai’s body shook violently as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his face becoming even paler than Yu Rumeng’s.
It wasn’t until this moment that Yang Kai’s chest showed some strange signs. A dagger had been stabbed into his chest, three inches into his flesh, and the dragon scales covering his chest had been broken.
This dagger was almost transparent, and if one didn’t pay attention to it, they wouldn’t be able to detect it at all. The same was true for the dagger-wielding Wu Hua, whose figure was distorted and ethereal, as if he was made of clear water.
The darkness just now was only the condensation of Wu Hua Killing Intent.
Yu Rumeng instantly went berserk as she let out a sharp howl, her surging Divine Consciousness power transforming into a torrential slaughter as she slashed towards Wu Hua.
Bei Limo also circulated her Ice Laws and pointed her slender finger towards Wu Hua. Her aura was not as strong as Yu Rumeng’s, and this finger strike even felt somewhat casual, but no one would have thought that the power of this finger was weaker than the former’s.
With two Demon Saints attacking together, how could Wu Hua resist?
The two of them moved, Wu Hua also moved, quickly retreating.
“Seal!” Yang Kai suddenly let out a loud roar as his Space Laws surged, sealing the world around Wu Hua.
However, he was unable to lock down the escape of a Demon Saint, and the world he was trapped in was instantly shattered. Yu Rumeng’s Divine Soul attack and Bei Limo’s finger attack all hit nothing but air, while Yang Kai’s Moonblade was also completely useless.
There was no longer any trace of Wu Hua in the surroundings. Shadow Demon strike once and kill with one blow, and if it missed, they would escape!
Yu Rumeng turned around in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
Just now, she had thought that Yang Kai had died. After all, Yang Kai’s cultivation was only at the High-Rank Demon King. In her panic and rage, she had actually managed to vent all of her terrifying Divine Soul power in one blow.
Who would have thought that Yang Kai was still alive!
Although Bei Limo’s Ice Shield wasn’t able to block Wu Hua’s attack, it was still able to offset some of his strength. Although Yu Rumeng’s first palm strike wasn’t able to hit Wu Hua, it was still able to force him to dodge slightly, reducing his strength slightly.
The Dragon Scale’s defense, the use of the Secret Technique of Nihility, the contraction of one’s flesh and blood at the critical moment, under these five layers of protection, even if Wu Hua personally took action, he would still lose.
The invisible dagger was only half an inch away from breaking through Yang Kai's heart. Although there was no danger to his life, the inexplicable killing intent had invaded his body and wreaked havoc in his meridians and flesh, causing Yang Kai immense pain.
Such an injury was simply too serious! He had to recuperate well.
The strength of a Demon Saint was obvious.
All this time, although he had interacted with several Demon Saints and had even been chased by a group of Demon Saints after the Eternal Heaven Battle, even planting a Soul Brand in Bei Limo’s Knowledge Sea, this was the first time he had personally experienced the strength of a Demon Saint.
Yang Kai’s heart pounded, he wasn’t even sure if Wu Hua had used his full strength just now. If Wu Hua had used another ten percent of his strength just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Without any time to think, Wu Hua retreated, but the crisis was not resolved.
As soon as he left the Devoured Continent, he was attacked by two Demon Saints. Obviously, the Demon Territory had noticed something and was prepared, waiting for Yang Kai to fall into their trap.
Xue Li’s sneak attack was just a cover, and Wu Hua’s attack was the key.
Since these two Demon Saints had already taken action, what about the other six?
Bei Limo glanced over at Yang Kai, a look of pity appearing on her face, as if she felt that Yang Kai’s life was a bit tough, but even in this kind of situation he was able to turn the situation around.
If Yang Kai died, she would no longer need to be restrained and regain her freedom. Although she would suffer some minor injuries, it was still acceptable.
However, since Yang Kai wasn’t dead, she could only continue to stand guard at the side. With a serious expression, she said, “Someone is coming.”
The person who could make her so nervous was undoubtedly a Demon Saint.
From the looks of it, there were a total of three Demon Saints on this continent. Xue Li and Wu Hua were only two of them, while the other one was somewhere else, so it would take some time for them to arrive.
At this time, the other five Demon Saints who were not on this continent must have also received the news. As long as Xue Li could delay them for a while, when the eight Demon Saints gathers, even if they couldn’t kill Yu Rumeng and the others who were also Demon Saints, killing Yang Kai would still be possible.
“We can’t stay here for long, let’s go!” Chang Tian’s voice rang out, and as he spoke, the Dragon Fang Sword shot out a series of huge sword lights, each one containing an unfathomable power.
In front of him, Xue Li was hiding in the sea of blood. The endless sea of blood split up and chased after him, seemingly intent on enveloping Yang Kai and the others. When the sword lights struck the sea of blood, each of them was able to split it in half, but after a while, the sea of blood returned to normal.
Yang Kai took a deep breath and endured the pain in his body as he said, “Wu Hua Qi is locked onto me, I can’t break through the Void!”
Wu Hua was nowhere to be seen, but everyone knew he was definitely hiding nearby, just that he hadn’t shown himself.
Shadow Demon were extremely difficult to deal with. They were obviously powerful, yet they didn’t fight you head-on, instead choosing to launch sneak attacks in the dark.
“I’ll do it!” Yu Rumeng shouted as she opened her mouth and blew out a pink mist.
The pink mist followed closely behind.
As the number of pink mist increased, everyone’s figures were gradually wrapped up in a pink world, unable to see anything around them.
A moment later, Yu Rumeng closed her mouth and her delicate body swayed unsteadily.
Although she had only used a single Soul Divine Ability to save Yang Kai just now, it was that one blow that had completely exhausted her. At this moment, she was already an arrow at the end of its flight, forcefully blowing out a pink aura. Unable to hold on any longer, her body collapsed onto Yang Kai.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and took her back to the Mysterious Small World, placing her in the medicine garden and communicating with his Embodiment and the two Wood Spirits to help her recover.
After the pink aura took form, the aura that had been locked onto Yang Kai was finally cut off and Wu Hua lost sight of him.
The Demon Saints each had their own methods and none of them were strong or weak. Wu Hua knew to use his own Qi to lock onto Yang Kai and prevent him from escaping, but Yu Rumeng wasn’t weak either, she was just using her own strength to block his attacks.
As soon as his Qi was cut off, Yang Kai stretched out his hands, placed one hand on Chang Tian’s shoulder, and grabbed Bei Limo’s wrist. In the next moment, he connected with the Space Spirit Bead and disappeared.
In the air, the pink mist rolled as Xue Li activated the Boundless Sea of Blood, transforming it into a torrential wave of blood that continued to attack. The pink mist was visibly melting as it was attacked, Xue Li said while sneering, “Boss Huang and the others will arrive soon. Yu Rumeng, Bei Limo, if you don’t want to die, come out now!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Hua suddenly appeared beside him.
Xue Li couldn’t be bothered to attack the pink mist and immediately jumped away, staring at Wu Hua vigilantly, “What are you doing!”
Wu Hua didn’t say anything and simply pointed in a certain direction.
That direction was where Yang Kai had fled.
