Chapter 718 - 337 What Was That Just Now?_2
Additionally, since the Ling Luo Peak Master is a Profound Immortal cultivator, and Liu Ningshuang and her three companions used a secret technique to reach the strength of Profound Immortal Level as well, they were sufficient to deal with a few Profound Immortal Level Jiuyou Demons.
Since both the Ling Luo Peak Master and Liu Ningshuang and her team needed to undergo trials and engage in major battles, they seldom had the opportunity to take action.
……
Boom!!
Yu Hanguang smashed a Peak of Profound Immortal Jiuyou Demon into ashes with a single palm strike and couldn’t help but frown, muttering, “Something seems a bit off.”
Both the Ling Luo Peak Master and Liu Ningshuang and her team had just killed their opponents as well.
However, they were far from as relaxed as Yu Hanguang; the Ling Luo Peak Master’s face was slightly pale, showing significant exhaustion.
Liu Ningshuang and her group were even gasping for breath, their Spiritual Energy weakened.
They immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot to recover their Spiritual Energy, and the Ling Luo Peak Master looked towards Yu Hanguang, “What’s wrong? Is something off?”
Yu Hanguang glanced around and said with a furrowed brow, “Although we are very far from our base and it’s normal to encounter more Jiuyou Demons with stronger power here, the number and strength of the Jiuyou Demons we are encountering seem to be too high.”
He paused, looked around, and added, “When I trained in this area before, I never encountered so many Jiuyou Demons, nor were they this strong.”
The Ling Luo Peak Master’s complexion slightly changed, “Could there be some issue with this area of the Jiuyou Battlefield?”
However, when Liu Ningshuang’s group and Lu Yi heard Yu Hanguang’s words, they exchanged looks, their expressions somewhat peculiar.
They were all too familiar with this situation.
Every time they went to the Zhen’an Battlefield before, they were warmly welcomed by the local Jiuyou Demons, a large number of whom were willing to come and ‘play’ with him.
Now, it seems like the Jiuyou Demons in this part of the Jiuyou Battlefield have sensed the Taoist Energy within him, to some extent.
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow and lightly chuckled, “Take the Immortal Pills and recover quickly. It might be because of me.”
Yu Hanguang was stunned and, with a puzzled face, asked, “…Because of you, Lu Yi?”
What? Despite having trained in the Jiuyou Battlefield so many times, he had never heard of Jiuyou Demons targeting a cultivator who was visiting the battlefield for the first time.
The Ling Luo Peak Master’s expression changed slightly, guessing somewhat, and her expression became even more peculiar.
When they went to the Zhen’an Battlefield before, she had heard Liu Ningshuang and the others mention such things a few times.
Lu Yi lightly chuckled, “Jiuyou Demons are very sensitive to the Taoist Energy. Although I haven’t released any aura, the Jiuyou Demons around here can probably still sense the Taoist Energy inside me. If this persists, more and more Jiuyou Demons will come after us.”
Hearing this, Yu Hanguang’s expression suddenly changed.
“Jiuyou Demons will follow the Taoist Energy to find you? And you still came here? There are quite a few Golden Immortal Level Jiuyou Demons in the Ningyin Battlefield. If they all come over…”
Just the thought of that scenario made Yu Hanguang shudder.
He was only at the early stage of Golden Immortal!
He could handle one or two early-stage Golden Immortal Jiuyou Demons, but if a group came, who could withstand that?
Lu Yi lightly chuckled, “Brother Han Guang, don’t worry. I have mastered the Space Law, and even if we truly can’t defeat them, I can still take everyone and run.”
Hearing this, Yu Hanguang’s expression lightened slightly.
He had also heard that Lu Yi possessed extremely powerful Space Power.
He nodded, “It’s best still to be cautious. The Jiuyou Battlefield is not like other places; if you’re too careless, it’s easy to capsize in the gutter.”
Lu Yi nodded, “I know.”
The Ling Luo Peak Master and Liu Ningshuang’s group had already taken out Immortal Pills and began to rapidly recover their Immortal Spirit Qi.
Soon, Yu Hanguang’s expression shifted, and he looked in a certain direction, “Here they come again.”
But quickly, his expression changed, “No, are those Golden Immortals?”
He looked shocked, “Are there actually Golden Immortal Realm Jiuyou Demons in this place?!”
Yu Hanguang’s expression became incredibly peculiar as he looked towards Lu Yi, now thoroughly believing Lu Yi’s words.
If there were no special circumstances, Golden Immortal Realm Jiuyou Demons definitely would not appear in this area.
He took a deep breath and said, “Lu Yi, if there’s any danger later, we’ll retreat first and then return.”
Lu Yi nodded and smiled slightly, “Yes, let’s follow Brother Han Guang’s plan.”
Yu Hanguang chuckled, “I’ve killed several Golden Immortal early-stage Jiuyou Demons before.”
As they spoke, Yu Hanguang’s body surged with Spiritual Energy, charging towards the Jiuyou Demon at the Golden Immortal Early Stage.
The two of them clashed fiercely, with booming sounds ringing non-stop in their ears, and terrifying waves of Spiritual Energy turned into wild winds, creating cracks in the barren land that spread in all directions.
Lu Yi waved his hand, creating a light screen to block all the aftershocks outside to avoid affecting Liu Ningshuang and the others as they recovered.
He watched the battle in the sky and realized that Yu Hanguang truly was the Yu Family’s strongest young genius.
Generally, because Jiuyou Demons contain Jiuyou Qi, they erode the will of Cultivators, affecting their spirits and preventing them from unleashing their full strength.
Moreover, Jiuyou Qi is extremely violent and possesses powerful corrosive and aggressive abilities.
Under normal circumstances, Jiuyou Demons of the same realm are usually much stronger than Cultivators.
However, Yu Hanguang’s strength was much greater than that of the Jiuyou Demon at the same Golden Immortal Early Stage, dominating from the start of the battle.
The Jiuyou Demon roared repeatedly but was powerless, its Jiuyou Qi scattered by the terrible Immortal Energy surging from Yu Hanguang.
Lu Yi smiled and nodded, not surprising for the top genius of the Yu Family. It wouldn’t take long for Yu Hanguang to easily eliminate the Jiuyou Demon.
Just then, Lu Yi’s expression changed as he glanced toward the rear area of the battlefield, his face showing a peculiar expression.
Another one came unexpectedly?
Good grief, he felt as if he had become a hot target, with every kind of demon and ghost plotting against him.
According to Yu Hanguang, there shouldn’t be Jiuyou Demons of the Golden Immortal Realm here, yet now they had two.
Yu Hanguang, who was in the thick of the fight, also sensed the aura of another Jiuyou Demon at the Golden Immortal Realm and his expression instantly changed.
What the hell?
Same realm Jiuyou Demons appearing one after another in this godforsaken place?
Will there be even more coming later?
He looked toward the direction of the other Jiuyou Demon, only to see a cloud of black mist rapidly approaching.
Aside from the leading Jiuyou Demon at the Golden Immortal level, there were also five or six at the Profound Immortal Realm.
The leader was also at the Golden Immortal Early Stage.
This turned out to be a stroke of unexpected luck.
His expression intensely serious, he knocked away the Jiuyou Demon in front of him and turned to Lu Yi, “Lu Yi! We should prepare…”
Just then, a crimson fist light, like a column penetrating heaven and earth, streaked past Yu Hanguang, instantly swallowing up the black mist.
As the crimson fist light disappeared, the black mist and the Jiuyou Demons, including those at the Golden Immortal Early Stage and several at the Profound Immortal Level, vanished without a trace.
It was as though they had never existed.
Yu Hanguang: “???”
He stared at where the Jiuyou Demons had disappeared, dumbstruck, standing rooted to the spot.
Lu Yi’s voice sounded, “Brother Han Guang, what were you about to say?”
Yu Hanguang fell silent.
He couldn’t possibly say that he was about to suggest retreating, right?
What the heck had that been?
A Jiuyou Demon at the Golden Immortal Early Stage just vanished like that?
Without any counterattack, without anything at all?
Was that Lu Yi’s attack?
Wasn’t that a bit too outrageous?
Yu Hanguang was completely stunned.
As he stood there slightly dazed, a fearsome aura approached and he quickly retreated.
The Jiuyou Demon at the Golden Immortal level that he had knocked away earlier had rushed back.
He struck the Jiuyou Demon once more, sending it flying again, then turned back with a broad smile, “It’s fine. I meant that we should get ready for a big fight.”
Lu Yi paused, then chuckled, “Alright.”
