Episode 102: Li Yan VS Jin Peng, the Demon King

  With a burst of clashing steel, the grand villa's hall was suddenly filled with two streams of light, one blue and one gold. The scattered strong winds howled, sweeping across the entire hall, leaving the luxurious villa in ruins in an instant.

  Lai San was just a small demon, how could he have expected to be caught in the midst of a battle between two top-notch experts at the level of the Demon Kings? For a moment, he only felt that his body was in the midst of a stormy sea, with overwhelming powers coming from all directions, tearing his body apart, making him feel as if his body would be completely torn to shreds in the next second.

  "Haha.........I really didn't expect a demon clan to be able to cultivate such pure and refined Yang energy, how interesting! Accompanied by a soft murmur, suddenly, a flash of dazzling blue light gathered in mid-air, condensing into a slender figure. The figure was shrouded in a layer of flowing light, making it difficult for others to see his true appearance."

  The person who came was Li Yan. Since Lai San and the seductive woman Yin Huan spoke those threatening words during the day, Li Yan had already felt that his loved ones were threatened. So when he thought of dispersing the immortal, the intention to kill had already been stirred up. This time, his purpose in coming was to kill and silence anyone who dared to threaten the safety of his loved ones, thoroughly eliminating all existence that posed a threat.

  Originally, to deal with the two little monsters, Li Yan didn't need to take action himself. He had attached two hundred-grass needles to the seductive woman's silver ring, which was enough to kill the two little monsters. However, unexpectedly, there was a monster king-level expert beside them, so relying solely on the power of the two hundred-grass needles would not be enough to defeat a monster king and then kill the two little monsters.

  However, since Li Yan had already decided to take action, there was no possibility of sparing his opponent, even if the latter really had a high-ranking expert by their side. Li Yan also had no intention of withdrawing.

  Since the Hundred Herb Needle was ineffective, Li Yan immediately broke through the void and came in person. If it were a demon god or an even stronger demon saint, perhaps he could have made him retreat. Unfortunately, however, it was just a mere Demon King.

  "And there's even more that you can't imagine!" Jin Peng Yao Wang had seen Li Yan and the old Taoist priest of Shu Shan Jian Pai, Li Ling Feng, exchange blows before, but at that time, Li Yan was using his Xian Jian sword from start to finish, without revealing even a hint of any other divine abilities. So, at this moment, Li Yan, who had not revealed his true face, was again using the Bai Cao needle to attack his enemy, and he didn't recognize Duan Yue either. Similarly, in the chaos of their hasty exchange of blows, Li Yan naturally also failed to recognize Jin Peng Yao Wang, who was wrapped in the aura of the Supreme Yang.

  With a loud roar, the Golden Peng Demon King waved his hand and the rolling Supreme Yang energy transformed into a long spear. The spearhead was pointing towards Li Yan's vital spot, with a sharp edge wrapped in an unimaginable terrifying power, rushing straight at him. He had already vaguely felt that the opponent's strength was above his own, so he took the initiative to strike first, wanting to rely on the Supreme Yang energy's ferocity and sharpness to gain the upper hand.

  Li Yan let out a cold snort, but he didn't care about that. With his five fingers spread apart, thirty-one hundred-grass needles shot out from the palm of his hand. The two hundred-grass needles from before also turned back and merged with those in his palm, forming a green light screen that charged straight up to meet the attack.

  But all that could be heard was a loud rumble, like thunder cracking the sky, shaking people's eardrums. The huge villa hall, surrounded by solid tempered glass, shattered in an instant, and the massive gust of wind generated swept directly into the air, affected by the counter-shock force of the two, tossing and fluttering in mid-air.

  Jin Peng Yao Wang's first strike missed, and he was shocked and bewildered in his heart. He really didn't know what kind of powerful being the newcomer was, with such profound cultivation that it had already reached this point. It was somewhat unbelievable. At this moment, he continuously urged on his magical powers, and the rolling Yang energy was drawn by him to condense into a golden light that pierced through the sky, weaving into a dense golden light net. The dazzling golden light filled the entire villa hall, with endless sharp edges cutting out a chilling intent amidst it, resplendent and magnificent.

  Li Yan was also surprised by the demon king's divine power, ordinary demons, even if they had divine powers, were mostly born with them, but this one had a fully formed system, indicating that its heritage was long-standing and could not be underestimated. In an instant, he flipped his hand and 33 hundred-grass needles merged into a cyan light screen, the cyan light grew stronger and brighter, occupying half of the villa's hall in the blink of an eye, emitting a vast expanse of cyan glow, the 33 hundred-grass needles spinning up and down within the cyan glow, firmly resisting the endless onslaught of pure yang energy.

  After the Hundred Herb Needle was refined, although it was a powerful treasure, Li Yan had only recently started practicing and hadn't fully cultivated it yet. As such, many of its wonderful uses couldn't be utilized, and he was also extremely envious of his opponent's Supreme Yang energy, so he could only resist in one way.

  Can't help but say, his physical body is really too weak. Previously, he borrowed the moon essence from the vampire's Holy Grail to improve his physical state, reaching the realm of Wu Sheng, but also buried some hidden dangers. The moon essence can enhance the cultivation of demons and monsters because of its extreme yin and softness, which is a great tonic for them. However, for a normal person, it's somewhat too yin and soft. As the saying goes, "isolated yin does not give birth, isolated yang does not grow." Therefore, Li Yan needs some extremely yang energy to balance the yin energy of the moon essence, in order to condense his aperture and step into the realm of immortals.

  He had thought that after he survived the second tribulation, at that time, his primordial spirit would have a bit of pure yang energy. After passing through the third tribulation, he could complete the cultivation of pure yang energy and then balance his physical body, allowing his physical body to merge with his own body, completing the union of flesh and spirit, evolving into an immortal divine body. However, he hadn't expected that his luck would be so good, and he would encounter a demon king who could control pure yang energy so quickly, it was as if he had been given a pillow while he was still sleepy.

  With a sly smile, Duan Yue's body suddenly rose, his five fingers spread out, and he grasped the air. In an instant, a flash of light burst forth from his palm, and within that dazzling green glow, dozens of rays shot out like sharp arrows piercing the sky, carrying a fierce momentum as they charged towards the Golden Peng Demon King.

  Even from a distance, he could feel the fierce momentum and overwhelming power carried by the dozens of streams of light. The Golden Peng Demon King was shocked in his heart, and the golden long spear in his hand danced, instantly bursting with light, layer upon layer of barriers rising to block Li Yan's attack.

  Those strips of cyan light flickered, and as soon as they touched the golden light screen of the Golden Peng Demon King, they burst open one after another. The violent power scattered and danced wildly, stirring up the surrounding void into a mess. The entire villa shook uncontrollably, and the hard concrete walls "cracked" open with a loud noise, instantly covering themselves in cracks.

  The two had a gap in their cultivation, and the Golden Peng Demon King's face suddenly turned red with a flush, barely blocking the impact of the dozen or so green lights, sweat dripping down his face, clearly not feeling well.

  Li Yan's face cracked a smile, and his other hand suddenly shot out, like a dark sky, rapidly gathering the scattered Qi of the Supreme Yang around him. In just an instant, he had already gained a great deal.

  Jin Peng Yao Wang's heart was in a state of panic, and he hastily let out an angry roar. The golden long spear in his hand shone brightly, transforming into a golden dragon that pierced through the vast expanse of blue light, directly targeting Li Yan. The enormous power hidden within it stirred up the air around it, causing waves to surge and roll ceaselessly.

  Li Yan, though distracted by the gathering of Yang energy, didn't mind. With a wave of his hand, the cyan light in front of him suddenly exploded and transformed into a giant cyan hand that grabbed at the golden long spear that had come from afar several times. A burst of cyan divine aura erupted from his body, merging with the vast expanse of cyan light in an instant, making the light even more intense.

  The Golden Peng Demon King was caught off guard, his heart still in shock, but he only saw the void stabilize, and the golden spear condensed from the pure Yang energy was actually grasped firmly in the opponent's cyan-colored giant hand. However, before he could even react, a burst of cyan light had already rushed forward.

  Bang!

  A deafening explosion erupted, unleashing an endless counter-shock force that swept across the scene in an instant. The entire villa was already a distant memory at this moment. Along with the Golden Peng Demon King's retreating figure, amidst the scattering light, the faces of the two individuals finally appeared before each other's eyes.

  "Is it you?!" In an instant, both King Jinyou and the little demon Lai San couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  Jin Peng Yao Wang looked at Lai San with a hint of surprise, and immediately, his face was filled with a bitter smile: "I thought it was someone else who had such divine powers, I didn't expect it to be Li Yan, the senior."

  In the cultivation world, the strong have always been revered. If Li Yan's cultivation and divine powers were not as good as Jin Peng's, today's situation would necessarily be different. However, now that Jin Peng is a demon king, he still has to show respect.

  With a wave of his hand, the thirty-three hundred grass needles were withdrawn and returned. Grabbing the golden spear of the Golden Peng Demon King, Li Yan let out a cold hum from his mouth: "So to say, this little demon is yours now?"

  Jin Peng Yao Wang had just heard Lai San's exclamation and already understood that there must be some unknown hidden circumstances, now even more certain, immediately hurriedly responded: "Exactly."

  "That's good, in that case, I will kill him in front of you today, and let your subordinates be warned that in this Longtan City, there are some people who cannot be provoked!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and threw it out, the golden long spear pierced through the air, and had already been inserted into Lai San's chest.

  "Senior......" Jin Peng Yao Wang couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh again, Li Yan's movements were too fast, he didn't even have the chance to stop him.

  "Originally, I was going to kill you along with the others today. Since we know each other, I'll spare your life this time. Make sure to keep the monsters in Longtan City under control. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Li Yan's cold voice had barely faded away when he vanished into thin air...
