Golden Suan King? Doesn't Look Like Much of a Fighter

The golden-robed demon youth—the Golden Suan King—locked his gaze onto Li Wuyang and Little Fire like blades. The full pressure of his Earth Immortal peak cultivation was unleashed, making the surrounding air feel heavy and stagnant.

The few surviving Witch Clan youths were intimidated by this pressure, their faces turning pale, almost unable to stand steady.

Li Wuyang narrowed his eyes, assessing the opponent's strength. Earth Immortal peak, indeed stronger than his current Spirit Refinement and Void Return early stage. Moreover, the demon qi was condensed and pure, clearly indicating he wasn't an ordinary foe.

"Golden Suan King? Never heard of him," Li Wuyang said calmly on the surface, but secretly he was already circulating the Huang Ting Jing. His golden core spun rapidly, True Qi gathering, ready to strike. Little Fire let out a low growl, flames rising around its body, showing no sign of fear.

"Hmph, nameless nobody, daring to be so arrogant!" The Golden Suan King, seeing Li Wuyang wasn't intimidated, laughed in anger. "This Sky-Gazing Roarer has an extraordinary bloodline; it'll be perfect to capture and present to my King! As for you... you seem a bit peculiar. I'll take you both and search your souls!"

He wasted no more words, his body moving like a streak of golden light, charging straight at Little Fire! His speed was astonishing! Simultaneously, a golden spear appeared in his hand, its tip spitting cold light, aiming directly for Little Fire's vital points!

Clearly, he intended to deal with the most threatening target, the Sky-Gazing Roarer, first.

"Little Fire, be careful!" Li Wuyang warned. As he spoke, he swung his axe, a chaotic axe-light appearing after the spear's thrust, slashing towards the Golden Suan King's flank—a tactic to relieve the besieged!

Sensing the sharpness of the axe-light, the Golden Suan King didn't dare to be careless. He shifted his spear's trajectory, deflecting the axe-light. But in that momentary delay, Little Fire had already roared and unleashed its pure white innate flame, engulfing the Golden Suan King head-on!

BOOM!

The flames collided with the demon spear, waves of energy surging!

The Golden Suan King was forced back several steps, his expression shifting slightly. He clearly hadn't expected Little Fire's flames to be so potent. Little Fire was also pushed back by the recoil, but its fighting spirit intensified.

"Good beast!" The Golden Suan King's eyes turned even colder. Golden light flared intensely around him, indicating he was about to use his true strength.

Li Wuyang saw that Little Fire was struggling alone and didn't hesitate to join the fray!

He moved with an arcane footwork, his body appearing elusive. His axe chopped and slashed, lacking flashy moves but each strike imbued with the Sky-Opening Axe's intent and the pure Dao Rhyme of the Huang Ting Jing, making them incredibly powerful and specifically designed to break through various demon spell defenses.

The Golden Suan King, fighting two opponents, suddenly felt immense pressure. Li Wuyang's Daoist techniques were righteous and pure, having a suppressive effect on his demon qi, while Little Fire's flames were fierce and overbearing, leaving him struggling to cope.

What made him even more frustrated was that the winged white horse beside them occasionally spewed clouds of mist to obscure his vision, the light powder sprinkled by the glowing little elf made him irritable, and even the stones thrown by the squirrel were incredibly tricky!

This group was too bizarre!

The battle entered a stalemate. The Golden Suan King fought with growing unease, realizing that his proud speed and strength were not giving him any advantage against this strange combination! Especially that human kid; his cultivation seemed low, but his techniques were extremely sophisticated. His True Qi was simple yet had immense staying power, and the aura of that axe instilled a primal fear in him.

"I can't fight a protracted battle!" The Golden Suan King felt the urge to retreat. He feinted with his spear, forcing Little Fire back, and then transformed into a golden light, intending to flee!

"Trying to run? Too late!" Li Wuyang had been anticipating this. He unleashed a rudimentary enemy-trapping spell from the Huang Ting Jing—"Draw the Ground as a Prison"!

Although it was just a rudimentary technique, combined with his pure True Qi and a trace of the profound weight of Xuanhuang Qi, it instantly formed an invisible wall of energy around the Golden Suan King!

The Golden Suan King slammed into the energy wall, his movement momentarily halted!

In that instant of pause, Little Fire's blazing flames and Li Wuyang's axe-light struck simultaneously!

"No—!" The Golden Suan King cried out in terror, desperately channeling his demon power to resist.

RUMBLE!!!

After a deafening roar, the golden light scattered.

The Golden Suan King fell to the ground in a sorry state, his golden robe tattered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He had clearly sustained serious internal injuries. Cracks had also appeared on his golden spear.

He looked at the advancing Li Wuyang and Little Fire in horror, shouting with feigned ferocity, "You... you dare kill me? I am a demon king under the Sea-Covering Great Sage! If you kill me, the Great Sage will never let you go!"

"Sea-Covering Great Sage?" Li Wuyang paused, the name sounding familiar. Could it be... the Flood Demon King?

It seemed this guy had quite the backing.

Li Wuyang's eyes darted, an idea forming. He put away his axe, putting on what he thought was a friendly smile. "Oh? You're someone from the Sea-Covering Great Sage? A misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."

The Golden Suan King was taken aback, thinking Li Wuyang had gotten scared.

Li Wuyang continued, "Look, your subordinate attacked my friend first, intending to kill him. We were merely defending ourselves. How about this: you pay some compensation for emotional distress, medical fees, lost wages... forget it, you probably wouldn't understand. Just leave your valuables and that broken spear, then scram. I'll pretend today's incident never happened, how about that?"

Golden Suan King: "???"

He almost spat blood in anger! He lost the fight and now he was being robbed?!
