“Thanks” says Shen Dao.
But the old man shook his head, “You don't need to thank me, after all it's worth the reputation I'll get after this. Hearing that I would be the first to kill the 10 strongest demons, would be history in the Origin of the Origin” his teacher laughed out loud. But anyone would know if the reason was just a guise for Shen Dao not to think too much about it.
The first elder of the demon nation was also shocked by the old man's actions, if he knew earlier then he would kill the old man early so as not to spoil his plan. Now that the demon lord loyal to him had died in his hands, he no longer had any reliable subordinates after this.
A ruthless killing intent came from the first elder, he stared at the noble fourth palace formation sharply. The latter also stared back at the first elder, he chuckled softly trying to mock but not too successfully as he immediately vomited out two other gulps of blood.
Shen Dao knew if his teacher was just trying not to worry him, but seeing him cough up blood again, he immediately took his best healing medicine. “Teacher drink this, you don't have to fight anymore and recover yourself”
The old man took Shen Dao's medicine because he knew that there was no point in refusing the gift from his disciple. Shen Dao would definitely force him. He knows his student nature. “Alright, I'll keep an eye on from behind”
After that Shen Dao looked back at the first elder and the other demon race who were now standing behind the first elder. “The demon king has died, next it's your turn!”
The first elder smiled in disdain then said, “You guys are barely even able to face the Demon king and are now trying to kill me?”
Then a strong pressure enveloped the Shen Dao army, the pressure coming from the first elder who was now preparing to unleash his full strength. “You can all go forward together!” he said before storming towards Shen Dao.
Shen Dao glanced back, Li Ahyi and the other 9 Mortal cultivators seemed ready to fight,”I and Li Ahyi will try to hold it in for a while, you guys have to finish off all the remaining mortal demons”
They nodded obediently, then each of them shot out at their full speed, setting the demons they were about to face.
Shen Dao unleashed 10 of his hot lasers, they formed an extremely fatal attack for cultivators of his level yet that first elder even only used his fists to deal with them.
But he really did not have time to think about it because the first elder had arrived before him. He released his fist towards Shen Dao, quickly the king of Shen kingdom released heat from his body. The hot air forms a large vapor and covers both.
Li Ahyi who had arrived immediately let go of his fist and soon he saw the back of the first elder open. He quickly unleashed his attack there but what happened left him dumbfounded.
When his fist touched the first elder's back, he felt an incredible pain as if an ordinary human was hitting a steel wall. Seeing his attack unable to injure the first elder, he immediately retreated along with Shen Dao who was now also seen trembling withholding the fist of the first elder.
“He is much stronger than I thought!” Shen Dao smiled wryly as he kept his distance from the first elder.
The first elder understood Shen Dao's intent, as his mainstay stance of 10 hot lasers made Shen Dao far more skilled in long-range combat. The first elder did not let that happen, he increased his speed leaving Shen Dao cornered.
Li Ahyi took action, he threw his super powerful kick towards the calf of the demon. The first elder felt an attack from below, he stopped his steps. “Hmph!” With a cold snort, the first elder also took a kick at Li Ahyi.
Two kicks from the body cultivators immediately collided. Not for a second, a cracking sound rang out and Li Ahyi was thrown backwards. His face paled again, his legs feeling numb from the impact of the attack. A little fear crossed his face.
“If I do not retreat in time then my legs will be crushed!” Previously the first elder had also broken one of Li Ahyi's hands now the former patriarch of the Li family was becoming more careful in facing the first elder.
After all Li Ahyi's strength was much lower than the first elder, it was natural for him not to gain a favorable position when fighting one-on-one. But with Shen Dao, he had little hope.
Li Ahyi managed to give Shen Dao a pause so that he could again keep his distance from the first elder. Immediately 10 laser beams charged at the first elder just as Li Ahyi's attack was complete. This time the 10 attacks formed a circle and tried to cover the first elder.
Shen Dao's tactics proved successful, as the first elder facing Li Ahyi's attack made him lose focus on Shen Dao. Immediately when he wanted to re-attack Shen Dao, ten laser beams had surrounded him.
