In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged hundreds of moves, and faintly, they seemed evenly matched!
"Interesting! What's your name?" Anlusi asked curiously, her eyes filled with delight.
"Li Chengtian!"
Facing Anlusi's calm composure, Li Chengtian felt increasingly anxious. It wasn't that he was afraid—he was becoming more and more aware that something was wrong.
No matter how he attacked, it was as if his blows landed on cotton, unable to stir up the slightest reaction!
"This person is too terrifying. I have to find a way back and tell them!" Li Chengtian muttered with a frown.
Anlusi seemed to see through Li Chengtian's thoughts. The corners of her lips lifted slightly as she teased, "What? Are you thinking of running away?"
She immediately increased her speed, darting around Li Chengtian and trapping him firmly in place.
"Little bug, hurry up and show me your true strength!"
Anlusi never attacked. She remained on the defensive the entire time, yet her arrogance was overwhelming, as if she did not regard Li Chengtian at all! She toyed with him as though he were a mouse.
"Ha! Hah!"
Li Chengtian swung his blade and slashed out two Blade Lights straight at Anlusi, but such ordinary attacks could not inflict any damage!
Anlusi merely raised a hand and lightly tapped with her index finger. An invisible shield seemed to appear before her, and the Blade Lights struck it with nothing more than a bang. Dark clouds pressed down over the sky, the earth beneath their feet split apart, seawater surged, and countless enormous waves rolled toward them! The monsters seemed to have been injected with stimulants, each one growing wildly excited.
Li Chengtian and Anlusi had battled for quite some time, yet he still could not break free of her entanglement. Even after exerting all his strength, he remained completely ineffective.
This entire battle consisted of Li Chengtian fighting alone. He exhausted himself, yet had not even managed to touch a single hair on Anlusi! Anlusi, meanwhile, maintained her confident, haughty demeanor, occasionally throwing out a few mocking remarks.
"Damn it! I can't shake her at all!"
Li Chengtian ground his teeth in fury. From beginning to end, this Demon God Anlusi had merely been toying with him. She kept dodging his attacks, never meeting them head-on, and never attacked him either.
"Can you do anything besides running around and dodging? You dare call yourself a Demon God? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Li Chengtian shouted.
Left with no other choice, he could only resort to this old-fashioned provocation to goad Anlusi into fighting him. Only then would he have a chance to defeat her!
It was an obvious provocation. Anlusi froze in place. The playful mockery that had been on her face vanished, replaced by a dark expression.
"Do you know that, to this day, not a single person who has insulted us Demon Gods has survived?" Anlusi said coldly, her eyes icy.
Li Chengtian was somewhat surprised. His casual provocation had actually worked! But along with it came the Demon God's killing intent. Although his sense of danger grew increasingly intense, Li Chengtian remained defiant. "Hah! Not only will I be the first person to survive, I'll also be the first person to kill a Demon God!"
Li Chengtian glared at her and thrust his blade toward Anlusi!
A cold glint flashed through Anlusi's eyes. She had finally made her move! Boom! Bang! When the two collided for the first time, their tremendous strength kicked up a huge current of air, snapping every tree beneath them! Crack! Rumble-rumble—
With their first exchange, Li Chengtian was sent flying hundreds of meters, knocking down several large trees along the way! Anlusi stared at him coldly as countless red strands, resembling spider silk, burst from her body. They then crawled over her armor like parasitic insects, displaying her Demon God form in all its terrifying glory! "I can't beat her at all!"
That was Li Chengtian's only thought. He had realized the gap between himself and Demon God Anlusi! He suddenly rose and pulled countless weapons from the Small Storage Device on his wrist.
"I have to leave! This enemy is too terrifying!"
In his panic, Li Chengtian's hand trembled uncontrollably. In the end, he still failed to steady the turmoil in his heart.
He then turned to stare at Demon God Anlusi. His powerful frame shuddered as he swung his arm, sending several weapons flying at tremendous speed.
Afterward, Li Chengtian took off and fled without looking back.
Anlusi gave a contemptuous smile. Red light flashed through her eyes, and every weapon was instantly reduced to smoke!
"Trying to run? As if!"
In an instant, Anlusi pursued him at an utterly baffling speed.
Li Chengtian, who was desperately accelerating ahead, finally could not hold it in any longer and began gulping in huge breaths! During that brief contact, he had endured tremendous pressure.
It was a pressure unlike anything he had ever experienced, leaving his back drenched in cold sweat! Suddenly, an explosion erupted before him! Boom boom boom—
A terrifying voice, as though heralding annihilation, rang out: "Li Chengtian? A native of Ten Thousand Stars. Do you really think you can slip away from me? I'm a Demon God!"
Anlusi walked out of the explosion's smoke. Her black-and-red armor exuded a terrifying suppressive force, while the scarlet spikes behind her made her look unmistakably like a demon!
Killing intent gradually emerged. Several cold glints flashed across the red spikes behind Anlusi. Their sharp, spiderlike points made Li Chengtian swallow involuntarily.
"So this is a Demon God? Just looking at her gives me a searing sensation!" Li Chengtian said through gritted teeth.
Now he was caught between a rock and a hard place. Anlusi's strength far surpassed his, and whether he fought or fled, he could not shake her.
"I've had enough of the game. Now I'm going to start the hunt!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Anlusi blurred like a camera shutter and appeared directly before Li Chengtian. Before he could react, she spun her body and swept out with her slender, long leg! Bang!!! Li Chengtian was kicked heavily into the ground, sending a vast expanse of shattered rock flying!
"Damn it! Hah!!!"
A bolt of lightning blasted out from beneath Anlusi's foot. It was Li Chengtian! He erupted once more, unleashing all his strength.
Anlusi easily dodged it, watching Li Chengtian's outburst with great interest as she revealed a strange smile.
Li Chengtian looked up at Anlusi. He was a dignified Second-Order Beyond War God, yet he had failed to react in time and had been pinned to the ground by a single kick! If word of this got out, where would he put his face?
"The battle has only just begun. Let's see who will hunt whom!" Li Chengtian said fiercely. After issuing his challenge, he was determined to completely crush Anlusi! "Heh heh heh, hahaha!"
Anlusi laughed as if possessed. The aura around her grew even stronger, faintly showing signs of crushing space itself. The strength of a Demon God was truly terrifying! "I don't care what you are. If you dare harm humanity, I, Li Chengtian, will wipe you all out root and branch!"
With that, Li Chengtian gathered his momentum. The natural power he had obtained—Thunder Lightning—poured into his body like a mighty flood. Then Li Chengtian entered his strongest state completely! The white armor originally formed from lightning was summoned once more, but this time it evolved entirely into purple!
"Is this the strongest power of your Ten Thousand Stars?" Anlusi asked, her slit pupils fixed intently on Li Chengtian.
Li Chengtian ignored her. He extended his right hand, spread his five fingers, and clenched his palm around empty space. Several purple bolts of lightning burst into being, forming a Purple Long Blade!
He knew it would be difficult to return to Hua Xia City District. With a deep, forceful shout, he said, "Come on! Let me see what makes these so-called Demon Gods so powerful!"
As Li Chengtian faced off against Anlusi, he recalled the message Chen Tian had left for them.
Chen Tian, was this the reason you wanted us to leave?
