Three out of the seven protectors of the Great Demons' Alliance were defeated, and the remaining four members were Protector Left, Protector Rat, Protector Snake, and Protector Bull.
The situation of the four protectors was not very optimistic. Protector Snake and Protector Bull were fighting two against one and should have the least pressure and the greatest chance of victory, but they were dealing with the Unparalleled War Spirit. They didn't stand a chance.
The Unparalleled War Spirit's physique was not one they can shake. Even if they were a Half-Step Gokudo Master, they were still vastly outcla.s.sed. Although they looked like they were on par with the Unparalleled War Spirit, once they exhaust themselves, they would GG immediately.
It was like two amateurs fighting the boss, who have just emerged from the village, and the system would at least give face, to help them not die so quickly.
They couldn't even touch a strand of hair on the Unparalleled War Spirit.
Protector Left was equally stressed. Although he was a mental power awakener, mental power was a fallen angel's area of expertise, and the opponent was a professional. The Fallen Angel, free of the physical constraints, can execute mental power more perfectly.
The gap between the two parties was similar to that between a really good ordinary man and a professional solo.
The most miserable was Protector Rat, as he had an instinctive fear of Cui Hua, his natural enemy. The biological chain fear has been branded in his genes for tens of thousands of years. Thanks to his strength being stronger than Cui Hua, his skin was thick, otherwise he would have been beaten to the ground long ago. He did try to put up a resistance, but this cat demon's speed was so fast that he couldn't even make contact with the corner of her clothes.
Forget it, let her hit me, it doesn't really hurt anyway, Protector Rat thought in despondence. The Emperor will help me take revenge!
The three men, Thunderlord, Ape G.o.d, and Earth G.o.d, tied up their respective captives, and finally could help Li Xianyu's harem handle their opponents. They had more in numbers and the harem already had the upper hand, and the enemies were captured without any trouble.
In the direction of the dense forest, Li Xianyu shouted, “Come help! Let's beat up this brat!”
Li Peiyun roared, “Li Xianyu, duel with me if you are a man! Why are you looking for backup?!”
Li Xianyu retorted, “If it can be a gang fight, why only duel one on one?”
He spat out a long-planned pickled vegetable phlegm sword and launched an aggressive attack on Li Peiyun.
The two men's swords of qi collapsed in the fierce battle, and the qi was almost exhausted. It was no longer possible to condense the sword of qi, so they entered into a fist fight.
Li Peiyun was a master of the Tri-Elements Sword Technique and was good at close combat and strong in physique. Li Xianyu's hardness was not as good but he had an ability to heal his wounds quickly, so he was better than him in terms of endurance.
Li Peiyun leapt into the air, spinning his body like a top, and dealt a whip kick. He sent Li Xianyu flying, who had his arms crossed in defense position.
Without a word, he turned to run.
Bang! The gunfire echoed through the valley, as Li Peiyun turned back instinctively. His arms filled with qi and blood to block the bullet that was aimed at his forehead. The bullet was embedded in the arm, and blood spurted out.
Feeling the pain from his arm, Li Peiyun was in a rage. In the battle with Li Xianyu, he was shot every now and then. The person who shot was stubborn, and aimed at his forehead with every shot. He couldn't dodge the bullet, and it was impossible to mult.i.task and dodge the bullets during the battle, so he had to withstand it.
Li Peiyun was shot twice on his left arm and three on his right arm, and his blood stained his arms red. Without Li Xianyu's self-healing power, it was incredibly painful. His hard power was better than that of Li Xianyu, and his combat experience alone was not something this fledgling boy could match up to.
However, due to San Wu's interference, he was pursued and beaten up by Li Xianyu.
Did I offend her, why is she so against me? Li Peiyun thought frustratedly. It's a pity that the G.o.d of War is not here, or he'll find trouble with San Wu and he wouldn't have to be shot so many times.
“Don't go. We haven't determined victory yet. It's not your style to escape.” Li Xianyu saw him running, and launched a violent storm of attacks. He shouted, “Li Peiyun is going to escape! Come on, help me! Quick!”
Earth G.o.d was left to keep an eye on the captives, while Ape G.o.d, Thunderlord Great-Grandma, and Cui Hua all rushed into the dense forest, blocking Li Peiyun's escape route from all directions.
Seeing this, Li Xianyu knew that it was a foregone conclusion. He chuckled. “If you surrender, we won't kill you. If you resist, we'll make you sweat.”
Li Peiyun, with his teeth clenched, struggled in his heart, but could not help but accept the fact. “I surrender!”
Li Xianyu personally went up and cuffed him with the Demon Locking Ring, but did not puncture his scapula and joints of his limbs. He took out a syringe, and injected the bloodline inhibitor.
A few seconds later, Li Peiyun's complexion turned pale, his eyes were dim and he was entirely weak.
Li Xianyu carried him away from the forest, and threw him beside protectors. He looked around and asked, “Where's Hu Yan?”
Thunderlord shook his head, “I didn't see him. He disappeared from the beginning of the fight.”
“Oh, he's probably gone.” Li Xianyu tutted, “What about the crowd of minions in the mountains?”
“Those who became demonic spirits without permission after the founding of the People's Republic shall be killed without exception,” Thunderlord declared in a lawful, by-the-book manner.
“That's going too far.” Ape G.o.d disagreed with his approach, and said, “We, Baoze, are not a cult, and there are at least a several hundred foreign species members on the mountain. If we kill all of them, Baoze's reputation will be damaged.”
Earth G.o.d nodded. “Ape G.o.d has a point, but we should wait until the staff of the Henan branch arrive before we decide how to deal with these new foreign species members. They can't get away. Hu Yan wouldn't be able to escape either.”
Staff in the Henan division formed large nets on the periphery, as S-cla.s.s staff stormed into the local camp to kill, and they were prepared to catch people who managed to escape.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady skipped over happily, joy written all over her beautiful face as she exclaimed elatedly, “Three hundred points! We got three hundred points!”
Senior staff earn one hundred points a year, and three hundred points was equivalent to a three-year base salary. The long-legged beauty was overjoyed. She didn't do much and easily earned three hundred points.
I can earn points following Li Xianyu, I'm too smart, she thought.
Li Xianyu glanced at Ape G.o.d and said with a forced smile, “The problem isn't a big one, look, we settled the Great Demons' Alliance. I told you, what trouble magnet physique, feudal superst.i.tion is not a good thing to have.”
He finally sought redress for himself.
Thunderlord smiled, nodded, and said, “Indeed, there are so many dramatic colleagues that exaggerate things all day.”
As he spoke, he lifted Protector Right's cloak as a delicate face appeared from the cloak. She had thin lips, nicely arched eyebrows and had a gentle aura of ladies from Jiangnan.
“Tsk tsk. You are a beautiful lady, unfortunately you are from the unorthodox side.” Thunderlord shook his head and sighed.
The minions of the Wandemonic League may be saved from death or even absorbed into Baoze. Any force in the demon descendants community was willing to welcome newbies with a clean background.
However, it was hard to tell for these protectors. The best case scenario would be being locked up in the Demon Locking Tower and never be able to come out.
If the company was merciless, they wouldn't be alive. Looking at the nature of the Great Demons' Alliance, the latter was more likely.
“Who cares if she's a beauty or not?” Earth G.o.d said exasperatedly. “Have more s.e.x with people you like, and don't worry over useless things. Hurry up and ask, what are the means that the Great Demons' Alliance uses to trigger the growth of the new-born demon descendants.”
After saying this, he kicked Condor Babe's slender waist sharply with a great force. Poor Condor Babe was in a coma due to serious injuries but woke up due to the pain. She opened her eyes in confusion and felt wronged.
“Don't play dead. Condor Babe, tell us the secrets of the Great Demons' Alliance honestly. What are the means to trigger the growth of the new-born demon descendants? Where is it from? Leniency to those who confess, severe punishments to those who resist.”
“Pfft!” Condor Babe spat a mouthful of blood and phlegm at Earth G.o.d, and he turned his head to dodge.
Earth G.o.d pursed his lips. “You don't know what's good for you. I will only give all of you one chance. Whoever speaks up first, whoever gets to live. Those who refuse to talk, hehheh, you can only wait for reincarnation after 18 years later.”
“Just kill us if you want to, don't spout so much nonsense.” Condor Babe raised her eyebrows.
The protectors all stared at Earth G.o.d coldly. Earth G.o.d narrowed his eyes, and murderous intent flashed on his affable face. A narrow stream of sand gathered in his palm to form a spear.
The Great Demons' Alliance was of great importance, and its nature was even worse than the Ancient G.o.ds Clan. Every S-cla.s.s member of Baoze is a decisive player. No matter how cheeky they were during the fight, they were never soft when they had to do what they had to do.
Tian Hao thought of killing one to instil fear first, killing a chicken to scare the monkey. He didn't act immediately, but was just thinking about which chicken to kill first.
“Calm down, there's no hurry. Alive captives are worth three hundred points and dead captives are worth one hundred fifty. At this time, we need our Newbie King to act.” Thunderbolt Battle Lady pushed Li Xianyu forward.
Li Xianyu immediately understood her intentions, as he grinned cheekily and squatted beside her. “Condor Babe…”
The moment he finished speaking, Earth G.o.d kicked him gently, and said with a straight face, “Is Condor Babe something you call? This is your mother.”
Li Xianyu froze and was speechless.
So, there was a unique person amongst the Ten G.o.ds of Baoze. Amongst the S-cla.s.s members he knew, G.o.d of Fire and Ape G.o.d were rather serious, San Wu… Let's skip her first, she's one of a kind.
Thunderlord was also a very serious person. Senior staff were generally very cheeky but S-cla.s.s members were normally very serious. Only Earth G.o.d was surprising, as he also liked spouting cheeky lines.
He immediately understood Earth G.o.d's meaning and let out a perverted chuckle.
Condor Babe's face immediately turned ashen pale as Earth G.o.d put his hands on his waist and laughed loudly.
The protectors' expressions were devastated. Their companion was about to be humiliated by Li Xianyu. The Baoze Group, however, looked away. They didn't want to see Earth G.o.d and Li Xianyu who were shameless perverts.
Li Xianyu glared at Condor Babe with a ferocious stare. “You know the power of my left hand. If you don't want to scream in shame in front of everyone, tell me quickly.”
Condor Babe's pretty face was pale and her hopes were dashed.
“Don't make things difficult for her,” Protector Right spoke in a weak voice. She tried hard to support herself. “What do you want to know? I'll answer your questions.”
“Very good.” Li Xianyu no longer smiled cheekily, his expression turning serious. “My question hasn't changed. What are the means to trigger the growth of the new-born demon descendants?”
Protector Right answered, “We call it the meat of evolution. Eating it can stimulate the gene in the body, so long as the proportion reaches the threshold of awakening, it will evolve.”
Li Xianyu frowned. “What if the proportion isn't right?”
Protector Right replied, “Either the body is blown up, or there is a disability after waking up, part of which is a physical and mental disability. They will be like a deformed child.”
It was indeed so! It's in line with the known information, Li Xianyu thought.
Li Xianyu continued to ask, “What is the meat of evolution?”
“The meat of evolution is the meat of evolution.”
“You know what I mean, don't give me a dismissive answer.”
“To be honest, we don't know what the meat of evolution is. It's a sacred object of the Emperor, and only the Emperor knows where it came from.”
“What do you mean, isn't the Emperor an illusory spirit?” Li Xianyu frowned.
Protector Right suddenly smiled, as if a pale paper flower had blossomed. “Who told you that the Emperor was an illusory thing? Didn't you feel that something was amiss? With the few of us alone, how is it possible to build such a ma.s.sive organization?”
“Each of us has similar levels of strength, so shouldn't this organization have a leader?”
“Look at my companions, we are not panicking at all. Why do you all think you're winning?”
Protector Right's series of rhetorical questions made the Baoze staff's faces change and their hearts sank.
Li Xianyu suddenly realized that something was amiss, the people present were all protectors.
Yes, they were all protectors. Who are they protecting? He had thought about it before, but after testing, it was discovered that the Emperor was an illusory spiritual symbol, like the Christian Jesus, the Buddhist Sakyamuni, and the Taoist Sanqing. The Emperor was a fictional existence.
The battle was imminent and they didn't think through this thoroughly. They only realized that it didn't make sense now. Even if the Emperor was fictional, there should be a leader of the Great Demon's Alliance, such as the Alliance Leader!
All the top S-cla.s.s members present are protectors. Where is the Alliance Leader?!
Ape G.o.d and Thunderbolt Battle Lady glanced at each other as the latter pursed her red lips and thought, I suddenly have a bad feeling. Is this the prelude to us s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g up?
Ape G.o.d thought, I have the same d.a.m.n sentiment.
Thunderlord stepped forward and said gravely, “Where's the Emperor?”
Protector Dragon chuckled. “Look up! Look in front!”
Without her saying, when Thunderlord asked this question, a surging wave of qi poured out of the caves in front of them, like a tsunami and thunderstorm.
Everyone looked up to see a mysterious figure, dressed in a black robe. The figure wore a silver alloy mask and swept through the caves.
They couldn't see the figure's physique and face, and could see the demonic red eyes under the silver mask.
She came with the wind, bringing with her a tumultuous qi that enveloped the arena.
