Demon Squad
At dawn, Li Yan said goodbye to his parents, simply waved his younger siblings off, and pulled Little Fool, who was bound with a chained collar, into the carriage. Because he did not want to draw too much attention, Little Fool wore a large floral hat and a cloak, and the chained collar was concealed by the thick cloak, while the iron chain was unfastened by Li Yan and put into his backpack.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Xue waved their small hands with misty eyes, dressed in black and white maid outfits as they were so beautiful and elegant, and Li Yan took a reluctant glance at that plump structure, where snowy realms could no longer have his traces left daily.
In just half a day's time, the carriage carrying Li Yan had already left the range of the Earl's territory, and once outside the Earl's territory, it would no longer be protected by the Earl's patrol guards, with unpredictable dangers and hardships lying outside.
Little Fool opened her big eyes in curiosity and poked her little head out from the carriage window, gazing at the scenery outside the luxurious carriage, which consisted of lush green woods and colorful flowers.
Li Yan looked at the Magic Tome with nothing better to do, as he had already traveled this kind of route many times, and the familiar road conditions made him exceptionally clear on which places would have Monsters and which places were exceptionally safe.
"Young Master, there is a squad of Demons ahead, and it seems they came to block us."
The coachman driving the carriage reported in a fluster, being a coachman at the Earl's Mansion who had already wholeheartedly driven carriages for the Earl's Mansion for more than ten years.
A trace of a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Li Yan's mouth, for in all his years of hacking Demons he had been blocked countless times, but no Demon had ever been able to leave alive safely.
"Ignorant things looking for death, do they really think this young master is a pushover?"
Li Yan took out the Holy Sword and staff from his backpack, pinched Little Fool's neck with his right hand, and walked out of the carriage, and as soon as he stepped out of the carriage, the Demons' magic directly attacked without any regard for martial virtue.
"What the absolute fuck!"
Facing several magic attacks head-on, Li Yan curled the corner of his mouth into a cruel smile and instantly released Space Magic to lead the carriage away from the area being bombarded by magic.
"If you blow up my carriage, don't even think about having intact corpses, I'll definitely chop you up into ten thousand pieces."
Li Yan brought the carriage to the rear of the Demons and instantly released Explosive Magic, which was a magic that used Fire Magic for precise positioning to unfold a huge explosion, with immense and precise power.
The Demon squad seemed completely unaware that Li Yan's position had changed, and they stared at the smoke rising from the explosion with a burst of vigilance, but the fluctuation of Mana coming from behind left them a bit confused. As the most elite Demon squad, they split into two groups at the very first moment, with the first group staying alert to the front, and the second group watching the back with guard.
Yet no matter how fast their reactions were, the Explosive Magic had already fallen from the sky, and it was too late for them to dodge, leaving them only able to deploy defensive magic to resist.
However, the next second, Li Yan's mouth curved into a dangerous smile, Space Magic unfolded once more, and the Holy Sword was gripped tightly by Li Yan. While the Demon squad was still urgently deploying defensive magic, Li Yan ruthlessly swung the Holy Sword right behind them.
The soldiers of the Demon squad who were guarding against the Explosive Magic in the sky were completely cut in half at the waist by the slash of the Holy Sword. The Explosive Magic in the sky happened to fall just in time, and Li Yan deployed Space Magic once more, instantly returning to the carriage's location before the Explosive Magic fell.
"Boom!"
The sound of the Explosive Magic was like thunder in a clear sky, and the momentum it caused could be heard even from ten miles away.
Li Yan, who returned to the carriage safe and sound, patted Little Fool's head, hoisted the back of her neck with his right hand, and returned into the carriage. The coachman swallowed hard with lingering fear and continued driving the carriage; thinking of the Demon squad just now, the fear he originally felt gradually settled down after the Explosive Magic went off, knowing that sitting in his carriage was none other than the current Lord Earl's son, the most heroic warrior who had killed thousands of Demons in three months.
"Little Fool, did you see the way those ignorant fools died?" Li Yan bent down, a Flamme-style gentle smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
"Mm-mm, they didn't know what was good for them and angered the young master."
Little Fool obediently nodded her head, blinking her big eyes gently, just like a harmless little white rabbit.
"So, will you be like them in the future? Little Fool."
Li Yan covered Little Fool's head with a single hand, gazing straight into Little Fool's eyes; this was the coercion of a superior, the judgment of a master.
