Chapter 266: Despair

The tiger-headed monster and its brothers thought that victory was in their grasp, so they spoke arrogantly. Not to mention that this small human was already on a completely different level from them. They had absorbed the huge power of the demons and the brain of the human race. They had mixed all the advantages together and formed this powerful half-human half-demon warrior.

The four of them had already lost their patience after being dragged by Li Yuanqing for so long. They reached a consensus after looking at each other.

“Deal with these two fellows as soon as possible. We still need to break through Rong City’s defense. It must be a troublesome matter. Don’t delay.”

When the tiger-headed monster said this, the other three people also became serious. The aura emitted from their bodies condensed into a barrier and firmly trapped Li Yuanqing and the Ye Qiluo in the middle.

These people were determined to kill Li Yuanqing and Ye Qiluo in this array formation. They already had enough respect for this kid by doing so. If not for the strength that Li Yuanqing had displayed just now, it would have been enough for just one person to attack. There would not have been so much trouble.

“Kid, you didn’t waste your life to make all four of us attack at once. Don’t be such a rash person in your next life. Don’t stand up when you shouldn’t!”

The pig-faced monster grinned and laughed arrogantly, as if victory was in his grasp. However, Li Yuanqing was still calm and did not seem to be in a hurry at all. He was already surrounded, but there was no movement in his hands.

Ye Qiluo carefully leaned against Li Yuanqing’s back. Although these people were powerful, she believed in Li Yuanqing. There was an inexplicable trust. Although this trust was difficult to explain, as long as she stood by Li Yuanqing’s side, it made her feel so at ease.

As he spoke, the pig-faced monster waved its rake and slashed straight at Li Yuanqing. This kid was just lucky just now. Coupled with his carelessness, he managed to dodge it. Now that he had a few brothers here who were controlling him tightly, that kid could not dodge the rake no matter what.

“Die!”

…

The pig-faced monster shouted and the rake had already landed heavily. It was about to hit Li Yuanqing’s head and smash the two of them into meat paste. His cracked mouth was as big as a huge water tank. The esophagus at the back of his throat was as deep and terrifying as an abyss.

But in the next second, his laughter stopped.

“Bang!”

A muffled sound came from the middle of the collision. The originally majestic rake was shattered by something the moment it collided. It shattered into several small pieces in the sky and scattered to the ground.

Only half of the rod was left in the pig head’s hand. It looked like it could no longer be used.

The pig head was shocked. The strong vibration on his arm surprised him. He did not expect this kid to be so powerful that he could shatter his precious rake. The powerful vibration sent the pig head flying dozens of meters away. It broke three towering trees before finally stopping.

The others were shocked when they saw this situation. They did see such strength when they saw this kid just now. How could his strength be so exaggerated? It was unbelievable.

Although this pig head was the weakest among them, what right did this human kid have?

After the pig head’s first attack failed, the others did not dare to be too slow. They thought that this matter would be resolved after watching.

However, their reaction was still considered fast. The three of them rushed forward together. No matter what Li Yuanqing did to actually release such a huge amount of power in such a short period of time, they had to kill him first.

If they kept this human kid, he would definitely become a huge problem in the future.

A black sword suddenly appeared in Li Yuanqing’s hand. He raised the sword above his head and drew a semicircle in front of him. He did not do anything else after this semicircle.

The tiger-headed monster was the first. It stood in the center of the semicircle and looked at Li Yuanqing. It was unknown what he was thinking. How could he resist the attacks of the three of them with such a small force?

Just as the tiger-headed monster was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt a very strong sense of danger. This sense of danger exploded in his heart, scaring him so much that he wanted to escape immediately.

That kind of animal survival instinct kept reminding him that if he did not escape now, he would not be able to keep his life. However, he was still half a person after all. Human blood still flowed in his body. He could not retreat at this time and appeared to be so timid.

So what if this human was powerful? There was only so much energy in the Catacombs. Even if he, a mere human, was at the top, it was impossible for him to be very powerful. Everything was fake now.

Tigerhead forcefully comforted himself, letting himself believe that no matter how overboard this Catacombs world was, it was impossible for two powerful enemies like the so-called Sword Immortal to be born for no reason. He resolutely waved the Tiger-Headed Blade in his hand and continued to slash down, facing Li Yuanqing’s semicircle.

The semicircle drawn by the sword in Li Yuanqing’s hand was very simple. Even the light on it was a little dim. The clear gray color looked inconspicuous, but it was standing in front of everyone, making it impossible to ignore it.

The three rebel leaders’ attacks touched the semicircle almost instantly.

Time seemed to have stopped. Their thoughts were forever frozen at this moment. Everything had lost its voice. These former generals felt that their world was so quiet that they could not hear anything.

Blood spewed out of their chests. Tigerhead felt as if he was flying and that something was light. He looked down and saw that half of his body had fallen to the ground at some point. He fell to his knees with a plop.

He was very puzzled. He was clearly floating in the sky just now and was facing that kid. The three of them were already able to kill Li Yuanqing. This kid was so powerful that his status in the human race must be extraordinary.

But why did he suddenly only see half of his body kneeling on the ground? Where did the other half of his body go?

Tigerhead pondered in confusion for a while before finally realizing that his head had indeed not moved in midair. However, how did half of his body fall?

Tigerhead looked up at his other two brothers.

The two of them looked so strange. They had been cut in half from their chests, and the upper half was still hanging in the air. They still had weapons on their arms, but they were all broken in half, and the ends were as smooth as mirrors.

However, the lower half of their bodies had already fallen into a pool of blood.

“What?”

The three leaders looked at each other and saw the deep despair in their eyes. They exclaimed in shock.

They reacted at the same time to what had happened. Just now, the moment they touched the semicircle, the semicircle cut their weapons in half like the sharpest blade in the world and even cut their bodies apart.

They had just been injected with powerful demonic power by the demon lord to obtain a firm body. Ordinary Dharma artifacts could not touch them at all. However, they were easily cut into two. Such a terrifying situation was really difficult to understand.

Tigerhead looked at Li Yuanqing, who was surrounded in the center of the empty space. He was still standing there as if nothing had happened. His expression had not even changed. It was as if defeating the three of them easily was just a small matter to Li Yuanqing. It was actually so easy.

A hint of red appeared on Tigerhead’s face. It was unknown if it was because his blood was surging or because of his anger, but he gathered the last of his strength and poured all his strength into the remaining half of the weapon.

“You, die…”

He only received half of his sentence, but he felt more and more powerless. It was as if all his strength had been sucked out. Even his voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz. He could not even hear if he was talking. This weak and empty feeling made him want to wake up, but he could only slowly sink into this endless void.

Ye Qiluo looked at the three rebel leaders in the sky in shock.

These three fellows were all big shots who could summon the wind and rain. They were actually killed by Li Yuanqing in one move.

No, the three of them were not dead yet.

Although Ye Qiluo was very shocked, she still reminded him worriedly, “Young Master Li, be careful!”

Ye Qiluo looked at Tigerhead’s pretentious appearance, as if it wanted to pull out its weapon and fight to the death. She immediately stood in front of Li Yuanqing and a golden ball appeared in her hand. It expanded into a golden shield with a diameter of about two meters and protected the two of them.

Li Yuanqing still did not move, which meant that he was on guard. However, just as she thought that the tigerhead’s attack was about to land, she suddenly realized that these people could not hold on anymore. They could still hold on for a while just now, but after a while, these people were like deflated balls, and the spiritual energy on their bodies was completely sucked dry.

Their souls could not be maintained either. As if they had been poisoned, they instantly dissipated.

Almost at the same time, the remaining half of the three leaders’ bodies were no longer useful. The three of them were reduced to ashes at the same time, leaving nothing behind. These three powerful rebel leaders died easily in Li Yuanqing’s hands.

Li Yuanqing had only pulled out his sword and slashed out a Half Moon Slash. He did it so casually, as if he was killing three chickens.

The shield in front of Ye Qiluo gradually dissipated. She looked at the corpses in front of her in disbelief. There was still a severely injured pig-headed monster left.

This pig-headed monster had internal injuries and was recovering in the distance. His brothers did not disappoint him and rushed forward. However, he did not expect that his brothers would be wiped out in an instant. His three brothers were instantly reduced to ashes. He had no intention of fighting and ran away.

“It’s fine. Wait for me here for a moment. I’ll be back soon,” Li Yuanqing said to Ye Qiluo with a smile.

“You must be careful.”

Ye Qiluo guarded Li Yuanqing like a docile kitten. Her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Li Yuanqing. Young Master Li was like a god in her eyes. She carefully sat cross-legged on the spot and quietly watched Li Yuanqing disappear into the depths of the forest alone.

“Good lord, it’s not that I don’t want to save you, Big Brother, but I really don’t have the ability. If I hadn’t been fast enough, I would have followed my brothers and died.”

The pig head looked back as it ran. It was already running with all its might. In just a short while, it had run hundreds of miles.

Li Yuanqing probably had no intention of chasing him anymore. The pig head finally had a chance to slow down a little. He hurriedly took out a few precious pills and stuffed them into his mouth to recover some strength.

The pig head felt guilty when he thought of the miserable expressions of his brothers when they died. He had just watched Li Yuanqing’s Half Moon Slash cut his three big brothers into two. Such a scene was too terrifying. He was not sure if his three brothers were dead. In any case, he had already decided that he had to run to a safe place. It could be said that he did not even look back.

Although his body was filled with a huge amount of demonic power and he was very easily enraged and eager to fight, his instincts still reminded him that it was more important to keep his life in front of such a powerful enemy.

The pig head quietly came to a mountain top and found an inconspicuous place. He squatted down and dug out a long tunnel at a very fast speed, drilling straight into the interior of the mountain.

Then, he filled in all the sand and rocks outside. Just like that, everything was intact, as if nothing had happened just now.

And the pig head was already hidden at the bottom of the mountain.

Pighead carefully hid in the mountainside while begging himself not to be discovered by this monster. If he was captured and fell into his hands, he would still die as miserably as his brothers.

Not long after, a black lightning suddenly flashed in the distance. Immediately after, a black-robed man appeared on the mountaintop.

This person was Li Yuanqing.
