Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf, Ruthless and Merciless!

In the Wailing Mountain Range, Li Daochen raced toward its depths.

As he ran, Li Daochen circulated the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture.

In that short time, Li Daochen had already gained a profound appreciation of how extraordinary this Emperor Scripture was.

As everyone knew, a person could possess only one supreme physique. Otherwise, their powers would clash and their body would collapse.

But Great Emperor Xuanyuan had broken that law and created the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture. Not only could it allow the Sun Holy Physique and Lunar Demonic Physique to coexist, but it could ultimately fuse yin and yang to create the Sacred Demonic Dao Physique!

A Holy Physique could be acquired after birth, but a Dao Physique could only be innate.

Throughout the ages, only the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture could create a Dao Physique after birth!

It was said that Great Emperor Xuanyuan had created it in his later years, and that it was a great taboo. On the day the Emperor Scripture was created, strange phenomena appeared in the skies over the Human Domain, and blood rained for seven days and seven nights. A great terror even descended and battled Great Emperor Xuanyuan with arcane arts, seeking to destroy the Emperor Scripture.

No one knew how it had ended, but before long, word spread that Great Emperor Xuanyuan had fallen, and nothing more was heard of the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture.

Li Daochen was probably the first person to cultivate the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture, because the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword had not appeared in the world since the ancient era.

At this moment, runes flowed ceaselessly through Li Daochen's body, and his crippled cultivation was slowly recovering.

These were the Sun Emperor Talisman and the Lunar Emperor Rune. There were only two of them, but their effect was tremendous.

According to the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture, once the Lunar Demonic Physique and Sun Holy Physique reached full mastery, there would be thousands upon thousands of Emperor Runes within the body, and every movement would have the power to make heaven collapse and earth split.

These two Emperor Runes had come with the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword to guide Li Daochen in circulating the Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture. If he had condensed them himself, there was no telling how many resources it would have taken.

Moreover, one had to reach at least the Divine Bridge Realm above Spirit Foundation to condense Emperor Runes!

The Xuanyuan Emperor Scripture outshines the past and illuminates the present, but the cultivation resources needed to make progress in it are terrifying too.

Li Daochen thought.

Suddenly.

Li Daochen turned his head, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

As expected, Yang Yu and Yang Yue had come after him!

Yang Yu's cultivation should be at the sixth level of Spirit Foundation right now, while Yang Yue is at the fifth. And both of them have fought countless battles. That trash Luo Cheng can't compare to them.

In a head-on fight, he had a chance of beating one. But against two, he was almost certain to lose!

So I need to separate them first.

Li Daochen picked a direction and sped up.

There was a troop of Fire Monkeys there. In his previous life, Li Daochen had managed to escape into the depths of the mountain range because he had provoked this troop of Fire Monkeys at the outset, creating a considerable obstacle for Yang Yu and Yang Yue.

In this life, Li Daochen decided to use the same trick again, but he certainly couldn't let himself get caught up in it too.

Soon.

Li Daochen arrived at a valley, where squeaks and chirps sounded from time to time.

Without another word, Li Daochen used a demonic concealment art and slipped inside.

When he came back out, he had a lumpy clay jar in his hand.

It was monkey wine, which the troop of Fire Monkeys treasured as dearly as their lives.

Li Daochen glanced at it, and his gaze gradually grew dangerous.

In the dim forest, Yang Yu and Yang Yue sped between the trees.

"That brat left so many traces, he has nowhere to hide!" Yang Yue sneered. The chase had been effortless all the way.

Yang Yu, too, regarded him with less caution. After all, Li Daochen didn't even know to cover his tracks, so he was either in poor condition or utterly lacking in vigilance.

Soon.

The two saw a dark figure ahead. It was Li Daochen.

"Let's see where you can run!" Yang Yue shouted.

Li Daochen turned his head, a clear flash of "panic" in his eyes, and began to run faster.

Yang Yue accelerated too, moving considerably faster than Li Daochen.

Her cultivation realm was a little lower than Yang Yu's, but she was proficient in all kinds of movement techniques. Even most cultivators at the ninth level of Spirit Foundation weren't as fast as her.

Before long.

Yang Yue caught up with Li Daochen. A dagger appeared in her hand, and she stabbed at his back.

Li Daochen turned to block, glaring as he shouted, "Are you really going to wipe me out?"

Yang Yue sneered, her attacks growing even more vicious and ruthless.

If Li Daochen didn't die, Yang Chen risked being exposed!

Now that things had come to this, it was naturally a fight to the death!

Li Daochen's words were undoubtedly naive.

Bang!

Li Daochen was sent flying by a single blow.

Yang Yue pressed in without the slightest hesitation. Li Daochen was clearly weaker than her!

Li Daochen was instantly left in a sorry state, looking flustered and frantic.

And amid the panic.

Li Daochen "casually" grabbed a clay jar beside him and threw it at Yang Yue.

Sshk!

The jar was split open by a slash, and richly fragrant monkey wine splashed all over Yang Yue.

Yang Yue paused, somewhat annoyed, but thought little of it. Watching Li Daochen flee for his life, she sneered, "A deathbed struggle!"

A trace of mockery flashed in Li Daochen's eyes, and he began to pick up speed.

Soon.

The three of them reached the valley where the Fire Monkeys lived.

Li Daochen and Yang Yue charged in, one after the other.

Confronted by a troop of visibly bewildered Fire Monkeys, Li Daochen wasted no time knocking down two old monkeys along the way and charging toward the place where the monkey wine was kept.

The Fire Monkeys froze, then flew into a rage.

Before long, they surrounded Yang Yue and Li Daochen.

Moreover.

The Fire Monkeys sniffed the air and caught the scent of wine on Yang Yue, making them even angrier.

That damned human had stolen their monkey wine!

For a time, the Fire Monkeys focused on surrounding and blocking Yang Yue.

"This is bad..." Yang Yue's expression changed drastically.

Only when she saw Li Daochen's movements become strange and realized he was about to break out of the Fire Monkeys' encirclement did she understand that she had fallen into a trap.

"Li Daochen, you despicable bastard!" Yang Yue shouted.

Li Daochen gave a mocking laugh and ran straight off into the distance.

And at that moment.

Yang Yu caught up.

"Second brother, don't worry about me! Go after Li Daochen, don't let him escape!" Yang Yue shouted to him.

Yang Yu frowned, not having expected such a turn of events.

But he had no time to think it over and could only go after Li Daochen first. The Fire Monkeys weren't strong, there were simply a great many of them. Yang Yue presumably wouldn't be in mortal danger.

A little under half an incense stick later.

Yang Yu stopped, his brow deeply furrowed.

He had lost Li Daochen!

"How can he run so well..." Yang Yu was somewhat irritated. His body was formidable, but his speed was ultimately lacking.

But the next moment.

Whoosh!

A streak of black light suddenly appeared from the side. Even with Yang Yu's vigilance, he failed to notice it immediately.

This is bad!

Yang Yu had no time to react and could only mobilize the Spiritual Qi in his body to withstand it head-on.

Sshk!

A saber slashed out, splitting skin and flesh.

Despite Yang Yu's copper skin and iron bones, the slash still cut deep enough to expose bone.

Black Qi swirled around the wound, a demonic nature flickering within it as it burned his skin.

The demonic path!

Yang Yu was horrified. His bronze-bell eyes opened wide as he looked ahead.

There... Li Daochen stood like a ghost, holding Luo Cheng's spirit saber. Wisps of Demonic Qi flowed around him, and his eyes were as cold as profound ice. There was no trace of his earlier panic.

"Li Daochen, you've actually become a demon?" As Yang Yu shouted, his muscles abruptly tensed, intending to catch Li Daochen off guard and cut him off.

But.

Li Daochen struck true with one blow and vanished in an instant, giving Yang Yu no chance at all.

"If you want to kill me, keep chasing me. Let's see whose hand the deer dies by!"

Li Daochen's icy voice rang in Yang Yu's ears, making his eyelids twitch.

This Li Daochen was completely different from the one they knew!
