When the demon cultivator pulled the chain, a look of pain would appear on his face. The black air would quickly move around on his sturdy arms, and thick blue veins would bulge out. The patterns on his face were like living insects, twisting and winding constantly, making people's scalp numb at the sight of them.
At this time, a demon cultivator who had just finished pulling the iron ring took a few deep breaths, turned his head to look at another demon cultivator beside him, and said with some fatigue.
"Wu Yuan, this won't work. I can't consume my magic power like this anymore, otherwise my cultivation level might drop."
"Ge Feng, just now a demon leader gave an order to kill these five monks from the Desolate Moon Brigade. If we fail to complete it, what will be the fate of you and me? Do I need to tell you?"
The demon cultivator named Wu Yuan replied rudely, but in fact he was helpless in his heart. The demon clan had an extremely strict hierarchy, and if he failed to complete the orders from above, he would most likely be killed on the spot.
Although he knew that now was the time to use manpower, and that the Demon Lord might not be able to kill the two of them, their end would definitely not be good.
It was just that the flying magic weapon of the human monk in front was too powerful, and his always proud magic cabinet could not catch up at all. Thinking of the consequences of failing to complete the order, he had no choice but to use the magic power at the cost of his body.
Demonic power is second only to blood essence in the cultivation of the physical body. It is a product unique to the demon body. It originates from the demon core, but is different from the ordinary demonic energy in the demon core.
To be precise, every time the physical body is cultivated, a trace of essence from the flesh and blood will be taken away by the demonic energy wandering throughout the body and stored in the center of the demon core.
Its power is far greater than the demonic energy in the magic core, and it plays an irreplaceable role in the future advancement and consolidation of the realm of the magic cultivator.
This flying magic cabinet belongs to Wu Yuan, and behind it is a well-known sect in the demon world, and the master is also a demon of considerable reputation.
He was extremely satisfied with his disciple Wu Yuan, so he spared no expense in creating this flying magic weapon for him. This flying magic weapon would be an extremely rare flying weapon even if it were taken to the Desolate Moon Continent.
The most powerful feature of the demon monks is their bodies. They are best at close combat, so descriptions such as lightness and agility are almost irrelevant to them.
This of course includes speed, but this is not absolute and is limited by one's cultivation level.
Like the owner of the Beiling Villa whom Li Yan had met before, after his cultivation reached a certain level, he was able to fight against Li Yan's Piercing Cloud Willow just by running. That was extremely amazing.
Sadly, even though the female demon cultivator from Lingshan Villa had reached the level of a demon lord, she had only just been promoted to a demon lord. In order to catch up with Li Yan, she needed to rely on the flying sword under her feet.
So when Wu Yuan got this flying magic cabinet, coupled with his strong body, he became famous among his peers in the demon world.
Whenever he was defeated in a fight, he would simply summon his flying magic cabinet and flee far away. Other magic cultivators could only stamp their feet and curse, but few of them could catch up with him.
When actually fighting with others, the magic cabinet can be transformed into a very small one and stepped on during the fight, making short-range raids, making the magic practitioners who mainly rely on hard attacks flustered.
When Wu Yuan and his men first received the order to kill Li Yan and four others, they did not take it seriously. Their team was a strong and elite group composed of monks from foreign lands, and their main purpose was to hunt down monks from Fengliang Mountain rather than to gather intelligence.
Since its establishment two months ago, with only one demon soldier and two cultivators injured or killed, it has killed as many as 25 cultivators from the Desolate Moon Continent.
Since Li Yan and his men were only 200 miles away from them, according to past experience, as long as they used the flying magic cabinet, the other side would most likely find it difficult to escape.
But the next scene surprised Wu Yuan, the captain. Just after he confidently opened the flying magic cabinet, the five opponents actually widened the distance between them by several miles in an instant.
Wu Yuan couldn't help but become serious, but he still thought that he had underestimated his enemy and did not think that the other party could possess a flying magic weapon that could compete with the magic cabinet.
But after chasing for a few more breaths, he was shocked and finally confirmed that the other party also had a high-grade flying magic weapon in his hand, and it was even higher than the grade of his own magic cabinet.
So he mobilized all the demonic energy in his body and chased after him with all his strength, but after a while, to Wu Yuan's annoyance, no matter how he activated the flying magic cabinet, the distance between him and the opponent was constantly widening.
Although he was unwilling to admit that his magic giant was inferior to the other party, he was indeed helpless. Thinking of the order given by the Demon Lord just now, he had to ask Ge Feng who was traveling with him to use the magic power to control the flying magic cabinet.
Although Ge Feng was extremely reluctant, as he was of the demon clan level, how could he dare to disobey the orders of a demon leader, not to mention that he was only the deputy captain.
Ge Feng had no choice but to use the magic power with great pain. Sure enough, after the two of them took turns using the magic power, the flying magic cabinet was still pulled away little by little, but after all, they chased for thousands of miles and still kept the opponent under their spiritual control.
But at this point, even Wu Yuan and Ge Feng couldn't take it anymore. From the beginning, they had used the magic power frequently, but now it took a while for one of them to use the magic power to control the flying magic cabinet, but it was almost reaching their limit.
Almost 40% of the magic power of the two has disappeared from their magic cores. When it is reduced to half, their cultivation will experience an irreversible decline.
"My two fellow Taoists, the people ahead of us may not be able to hold on any longer!"
At this moment, an emotionless voice came from behind Wu Yuan and Ge Feng. Although the word "fellow Taoist" was said, to anyone who heard it, it sounded like a puppet speaking coldly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan glanced at the skinny human monk from the side, feeling disgusted in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, why do you say that, Brother Wang?" Even if these foreign monks cooperated with them, they were still just lowly humans after all.
But Wu Yuan knew that these cultivators were far from being comparable to the cultivators of the Desolate Moon Continent. Even the cultivator in front of him named Wang Changkun, he alone might not be able to defeat him. Wang Changkun just pursed his lips and said, "Slow down!" His face was still stiff, his voice was cold, and his hands were still behind his back, looking superior.
In the past, seeing Wang Changkun's attitude, Wu Yuan would definitely be dissatisfied, but now he simply ignored it. Just now, he and Ge Feng had been hesitating whether to continue using the magic power, and he did not pay close attention to the situation ahead.
Wu Yuan and Ge Feng hurriedly used their spiritual sense to probe forward, and to their surprise, the speed of the flying magic weapon in front of them finally slowed down.
Although their spiritual sense was blocked by the isolation restriction outside the Chuanyun Willow and they could not see the situation inside clearly, the sudden drop in speed must have indicated that an accident had occurred.
At this moment, the same thought came to Wu Yuan and Ge Feng's mind.
"The opponent's magic weapon is the same as mine. In order to escape, he must have used secret methods that greatly damage his body, such as blood essence, so he can reach such a speed. Now the five of us may have consumed it in turn. This has reached the limit."
This made Wu Yuan feel more balanced. It turned out that it was not that his magic cabinet was slow, but that the other party was desperate and must have used a spell to harm his body.
… …
After King Hu Xiao and Yan Feijun finished speaking, there was silence on the Chuanyun Willow for a while.
"The other party must have used a secret method that severely damaged his body. This can be confirmed from the fact that the flying magic weapon was speeding up and slowing down.
At this time, the demon cultivator from the Jindan Sect was definitely unable to use his spiritual sense to detect the situation here. As soon as he released his spiritual sense, it would be interrupted by the uncle-master. Therefore, we can ignore the Jindan demon cultivator. Now there is only this small group of enemies behind us. "Li Yan finally broke the silence.
Bai Rou thought about it and nodded slightly, "I also noticed that their flying speed was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Junior Brother Li is right. And with Senior Uncle Feng Liangshan intercepting the demon's consciousness, the biggest threat here is currently only the team of eight people behind..."
"So what?" Yan Feijun felt that what Li Yan and Bai Rou said was meaningless, and even felt that letting Li Yan be the captain was a mistake.
"So, we don't need to fly west anymore, otherwise it will take at least a thousand miles to completely get rid of their spiritual detection, and we can't be sure if there will be any sudden accidents on the way forward." Li Yan said lightly.
As soon as Li Yan finished speaking this time, even King Hu Xiao felt that what he said was nonsense.
"Do you really want to fight to the death with the eight people behind you? Junior Brother Li, you have to think it through. Here... Junior Sister Bai should be the only one who is sure that she can protect herself..."
He originally wanted to say that except for you and Sun Guoshu, we can fight with the other side. Even if we can't win, we still have the ability to protect ourselves, but he didn't say it directly.
However, everyone could hear that Yan Feijun and Hu Xiaowang's tone was no longer respectful. Since their lives were at stake, how could they let Li Yan do whatever he wanted
Li Yan smiled, without a trace of displeasure on his face.
“Well, we will fly to the jungle below, and then I will temporarily separate from you and lead the two demon monks away.
Among the remaining five, only one fake Dan exists. With Sister Bai's puppet, the cultivation of Brothers Hu and Yan, and the assistance of Brother Sun, even if the foreign cultivator is strong, the battle will probably end quickly."
“What? You… you want to lure away two demon cultivators alone?” “Junior Brother Li, don’t do anything reckless…” “Junior Brother, what… what kind of plan is this?”…
After hearing Li Yan's indifferent words, the four of them objected almost in unison, with an expression of disbelief on each of their faces.
But Li Yan still looked at them with a smile, and then King Hu Xiao tried to persuade him again.
"Junior Brother Li, are you crazy? Don't tell me whether your plan to lure away the two demon cultivators is feasible
Then how could you make the other person listen to you and pursue you separately
And there are two demon cultivators chasing you together?"
Although King Hu Xiao was dissatisfied with Li Yan, when he thought of his identity and the mission this time, he suppressed his complaints and spoke out his opposition.
The questions he raised were really about the matter, not the person. Putting aside the ultimate success of the plan, the other party seemed to want to cooperate with your plan, Li Yan. Isn't this a fantasy? This is too self-righteous.
Bai Rou and the others also directly rejected Li Yan's proposal in their hearts. Seeing that King Hu had expressed his opinion, they all stopped talking and looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan glanced behind him with his spiritual sense, and then said, "I should have a way to make the two demons give up chasing you and just chase in the direction I fled.
Mr. Li would not joke about this kind of thing. Now the pursuers are still about 340 miles away from us.
Later we will rush into the jungle below. With Senior Brother Yan's attainments in formation, he has enough time to set up a small hidden formation.
Then we can set up an ambush formation inside. Just intentionally leave some loopholes when escaping, and the other party will definitely send people to chase you. At the same time, I will lead away the two demon cultivators. The rest depends on you brothers and sisters. My life is in your hands. "
As Li Yan finished speaking, his expression became more serious, and there was no trace of joking at all.
