Trap (Happy New Year's Eve)

Just as Li Qi was fighting the Demon Prince, risking his life in a desperate battle, the fighting on the other side had already ceased.

However, it was seen that although the Dharma forms of Devil Lord Moloyan and Canghou were still engaged in battle, their true forms had put aside their disputes and were sitting facing each other.

As fourth-rank officials, they naturally understood what was going on.

To put it bluntly, the focus of the battle wasn't on those two at all.

The two geniuses below have already started their hand-to-hand combat, so the rest of us, who are just there as tools, can finally take a break.

They seemed to have already spoken for a while, so Moloyan could be heard saying, "So, you don't actually know that Wushen Mountain?"

"Well, I'm not familiar with him, but judging from his appearance, you should know that he's a genius no less than the Demon Prince. It's not surprising that he'd be here," Canghou said.

"Not inferior to the Demon Prince? Hmph, you're really overthinking it. I dare say that among the young people of this generation, no one can compare to the Demon Prince. Whether it's Liu Junyi from the Imperial Academy, Canghai Jun from the East Sea, the Buddhist Buddha Child Shariputra from the Western Paradise, the Little Heavenly Master from the Daoist sect, or the newly emerging Sai Bawang from the martial arts world, none of them could be a match for the Demon Prince."

"Not to mention Yao Ji, the most dazzling Wushen Mountain Goddess Wushen Mountain this era. This Li Qi is not well-known and is not as famous as Yao Ji. How could he possibly be a match for the Demon Prince?" Moloyan said disdainfully.

"Oh? The Demon Prince is so powerful, how come I've never heard of his deeds? I've even heard of Li Qi. He obtained the Polaris Golden Core Method by fortuitous opportunity and was sent to Chang'an as a hostage, but I've really never heard of the Demon Prince," Canghou said, her expression somewhat curious.

He had just witnessed the Demon Prince's abilities; he was indeed a genius. How did he manage to hide them so well?

"That's because he was in the Desire Realm before and had never been to the mortal world. This is the first time he has set foot in the mortal world. You don't know that he has already made a name for himself in the Desire Realm."

"Even before reaching the lowest level, the Demon Prince had already shown his talent. As a being born from the Desire Realm, he was caught up in battle from the very beginning. Moreover, he was born with a disability and was naturally weak, making cultivation even more difficult."

"In this situation, the Demon Prince endured alone, using his wisdom and strategy to survive, and then diligently cultivated. After slaughtering a city of millions and killing four eighth-rank beings with his ninth-rank body, he finally attracted the attention of high-ranking beings in the Desire Realm."

"Without any help from anyone, despite his physical and mental disabilities and lack of background, he rose to the eighth rank and became a city lord. Two seventh-rank demons even submitted to him voluntarily."

"He could achieve this level even when he had nothing. Now that he's become the Demon Prince, he has access to heavenly materials and earthly treasures and extraordinary encounters. He's been at the seventh rank for a full eighty years. Guess what level he can reach?" Moloyan asked.

"Hmm... In the previous battle, he did show many impressive techniques, but he was only on par with Li Qi. Although he was excellent, he did not have an overwhelming advantage, and I could not see the aura that could suppress all the younger generation," Canghou commented.

He admitted that the Demon Prince was indeed very powerful; to reach this level at the seventh rank was already quite terrifying.

However, he is far from being able to suppress the entire younger generation by himself; he is still far from that level.

Canghou felt that those truly talented young people, if placed here, would not be inferior to the Demon Prince, because they were all at the peak of the seventh rank.

To put it bluntly, the seventh rank has its limits, and those young geniuses have already reached those limits. Everyone's attributes are at their maximum, and what remains to be compared is knowledge and wisdom.

Moreover, the level of disciples selected throughout the land is well-known, so these top disciples, unless there are special circumstances, will not be too far off.

Besides Human Path, Human Path may be strengthened with the support of official positions, but official positions are not all benefits. They are the greatest constraint on Human Path, just like the kingdom of the Baiyue Sovereign.

Therefore, despite the fact that Moloyan praised the Demon Prince so highly, Canghou did not agree with him and did not think that the other party was really that powerful.

"It means you still don't understand. Take a closer look and see the true power of the Demon Prince, starting with Li Qi... You must know that when the Demon Prince stepped out of the Desire Realm, he wanted to challenge all the younger generation in the world. Li Qi is just the first one," Moloyan said.

"Why start with Li Qi? Although he is also a young master of Wushen Mountain, he is not well-known. Challenging him as the first seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it? Isn't it said that the first one must be earth-shattering?" Canghou asked, puzzled.

Since we are prepared to challenge everyone with the overwhelming power of an absolute strongman, the first choice should be very important. It's like a good start; we need to make a strong impression from the very beginning.

What's the point of coming here quietly to challenge Li Qi, an unknown nobody?

You should know that Li Qi is a typical coward. He will never fight if he can avoid it, and he will never stand out if he can avoid it. Unless forced by circumstances, his biggest ideal is to cultivate while enjoying life with his wife.

The struggle for supremacy is something for people like the Demon Prince to do; it has nothing to do with Li Qi.

"I'm also puzzled about this. However, it's said that another young genius of the demonic path, whom I don't know, recommended Li Qi to the Demon Prince, saying that Li Qi is the most powerful among the younger generation. The Demon Prince didn't believe it, but that genius I don't know fought with the Demon Prince once. I don't know the result, but the Demon Prince admitted it afterward, and changed his target from Little Heavenly Master to Li Qi," Moloyan replied.

"His first challenge was to find the Little Heavenly Master? In other words, you think the Little Heavenly Master is the strongest and the most threatening?" Canghou inquired about the information.

This kind of demonic path regarding the definitions of various Dao Lineage is still very valuable.

For some reason, Moloyan did not hide anything and said directly, "That's natural. How noble is the title of Celestial Master? Among the many second-rank Celestial Immortals in the Daoist sect, only one can receive the title of Celestial Master. At the seventh rank, one can be called a Little Heavenly Master. This is enough to explain a lot."

"That's true. I heard that the Little Heavenly Master has completely mastered the Five Thunders Orthodox Method and has the aura of 'when the Thunder Method is unleashed, it is the command of Heaven, its power is the greatest, and everything in the Three Realms and Nine Lands is under the control of thunder.' The current Celestial Master praised him as 'driving wind and thunder, commanding all things, and being able to go anywhere without fear.' It seems that's true." Canghou nodded, making a silent assessment based on the information he had gathered.

"However, any Little Heavenly Master is probably nothing more than a clay chicken or a dog in front of the Demon Prince," Moloyan said with a smile, full of confidence.

"If that's the case, why not reincarnate? The Demon Prince so powerful. If he could repair his broken body, his strength and talent would definitely increase. Even if the physical defects are hard to repair and too costly, he could simply reincarnate and start over. It wouldn't take much trouble. It's better than dragging his broken leg like this." Canghou, puzzled.

Moloyan shook his head and said, "I don't know. We suggested reincarnation, but the Demon Prince refused because he didn't want to bear the mystery of the womb. Later, the Demon King found him the Five-Colored Life-Generating Lotus of Rebirth. You know about this. The white lotus root that grows from it can even reshape the body of a third-rank cultivator, so that he can continue to cultivate without any problems. This lotus is enough to make up for the defects in the heavens and the earth, but the Demon Prince still refused."

"Isn't this a bit ungrateful? Given the nature of the demonic path, he should be punished," Canghou guessed.

"Of course not. Not only was he not punished, but he was even more favored. I don't know why. Wait... the next two are getting serious." Moloyan suddenly interrupted the conversation.

Canghou immediately fell silent, looked down at the battle below, and focused his attention.

He had only glanced at them casually before, but now he was truly focusing his attention on observing the two people on the battlefield.

The other party raved about the Demon Prince in glowing terms, which piqued his curiosity.

What kind of prodigy could possibly earn such high praise from a fourth-rank official? To the point that he believes the prodigy can single-handedly suppress all the young geniuses in the world?

But below, on the battlefield...

Just now, Li Qi pulled a trick.

He set up two illusion arrays, one nested within the other. The Demon Prince easily shattered one of them, but was blinded by the other and attacked an illusion.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Qi used the Law Treasure exoskeleton he had constructed at some unknown time, along with the energy used by Shen Yijun to control fish while fishing, and used the force of the Wave-Pushing Strength to kick the Demon Prince directly into the small world!

Then came a series of attacks, all targeting the Demon Prince's lame right leg!

Li Qi martial arts techniques, and martial arts, as everyone knows, is best suited for close combat.

Even the Demon Prince could only dodge as much as possible under Li Qi's series of punches, with no chance to fight back.

However, the look in his eyes behind the mask was very calm.

But I still have some doubts.

He was curious how Li Qi had managed to assemble a Law Treasure exoskeleton from that pile of tableware. He knew very well that Li Qi didn't have that ability.

This wasn't the first time he and Li Qi had clashed.

Before today, Li Qi would never have been able to forge magical Law Treasure on the spot, assemble them into magical Law Treasure for use in Reason Way, and even operate martial arts techniques.

Thinking of this, the Demon Prince actually managed to speak amidst the intense close combat!

He asked Li Qi, "This is a smelting technique Reason Way; you shouldn't know it."

The price for speaking was that his right leg was once again severely struck by Li Qi. This time, it was the Demon Prince's turn to be blasted away by Li Qi and slammed heavily against the protective wall.

However, with the power of this attack, the Demon Prince finally escaped Li Qi's attack range. Although he was still suppressed by the small world, he finally had a chance to catch his breath. He immediately stood up with his cane, waved his hands, and countless demons suddenly appeared around him to protect him, isolating Li Qi outside.

The demon came with great force, but Li Qi did not continue to pursue it. Since the other party had already fallen into the small world, he had the advantage of terrain. So he simply made hand Hand Seals, and countless energies surged, slowly suppressing the demon back.

At this moment, Li Qi also freed up his hands to answer the other party's question.

Li Qi said, "I just learned that. Did you see those two Giant Spirit God puppets just a quarter of an hour ago?"

"I heard you've only been cultivating for a few years, indeed... very impressive. You've learned all this just by watching? And your attacks on weaknesses are very effective. However, you lack Martial Way Divine Intent and Martial Dao Inner Qi, so your fists can't truly harm me." The Demon Prince, manipulating the countless black smoke-like demon heads, replied to Li Qi.

That's the truth.

Although Li Qi used the martial arts technique of channeling energy, what he unleashed was neither Martial Dao Inner Qi nor Martial Way Divine Intent, so the lethality was greatly reduced. Although he hit the weak point, he did not cause any substantial damage.

However, at this moment, Li Qi suddenly laughed.

He laughed and said, "Who said there's no Martial Dao Inner Qi?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the impurities clinging to the Demon Prince's lame leg suddenly began to circulate!

Li Qi, just a few days ago, learned the method of circulation and, using it, learned how to create various kinds of qi, including Martial Dao Inner Qi! (See Chapter 464 for details)

These mixed energies merged together, thus amplifying the level of violence!

The essence of Martial Dao Inner Qi is chaotic and violent energy. No matter what kind of energy it is, once a martial artist ingests it, it will all become like this!

Therefore, the energy attached to Li Qi's attack on the lame leg exploded directly! Although it was far inferior to that of a true seventh-grade martial artist, it was still genuine Martial Dao Inner Qi!

The Demon Prince was initially shocked, then showed an expression of appreciation, and immediately began to take action.

However, this is not so easy to handle.

Li Qi is not a martial artist. Martial artists are purely destructive, but he is not one.

Using Martial Dao Inner Qi to break through the Demon Prince's physical body, at the same time, that so-called Martial Dao Inner Qi immediately turned into the previous pile of mixed energy, and then began to form new Technique Method, disrupting the timing of the inner world!

A book says, "The roundness of the human head represents the heavens, and the squareness of the feet represents the earth. The heavens have four seasons, five elements, nine divisions, and three hundred and sixty days, and humans also have four limbs, five internal organs, nine orifices, and three hundred and sixty joints. The heavens have wind, clouds, cold, and heat, and humans also have Blood Qi are like wind and rain."

The human body is a microcosm, corresponding to the macrocosm of the outside world.

The head represents the sky, which is yang, and the feet represent the earth, which is yin.

The left side of the body is Shaoyang, and the right side is Shaoyin.

Therefore, based on this distribution, we can draw a conclusion.

With the left hand on top and to the left, the combination of yang and yang represents the yang within yang, thus representing the ultimate yang, summer.

Similarly, the right hand represents autumn, the left foot represents spring, and the right foot represents winter.

The Demon Prince's limp is in his right foot, which represents winter; in other words, he is born lacking the element of winter within his body.

Then, Li Qi used the extreme Yang Energy and the extreme fire to penetrate his lame leg, urging his inner world to directly transform into 'Summer'.

The inner world is completely out of balance! The four seasons are disordered, and calamities suddenly arise!

The Demon Prince was frozen in place due to the collapse of the heavens.

Seizing this opportunity, Li Qi launched another fierce attack on the opponent's weaknesses!
