"Damn... that bastard demon was strong. I nearly bought it."
It took several minutes.
Only then did Li Yun recover. He hurriedly took out some dried meat and ate a couple of bites before getting up to examine Demon Ah Mu's body.
Honestly, Demon Ah Mu had impressed him.
The demon had definitely reached Body Tempering Twelfth Level. More frightening still, he possessed speed far beyond the ordinary.
As the saying went, of all the martial arts under heaven, only speed could not be broken.
That saying was a little too absolute. True Martial Dao had never been reducible to strength or speed alone. But he had to admit that sometimes—even in most ordinary circumstances—speed really could decide a battle.
Just like this time.
If he had not had various talents at his disposal, and if he had not prepared early on to use one of them to catch the demon off guard, it was hard to say who would have won that fight to the death.
"If I had that kind of speed..."
Li Yun crouched to inspect Demon Ah Mu's corpse, muttering under his breath.
Suddenly—
Warmth surged from his chest.
It flowed through his hands and into Demon Ah Mu's corpse.
In an instant, a powerful suction passed through his palms and sucked Demon Ah Mu's corpse dry.
The next moment.
Li Yun felt the Gate of Myriad Wonders hidden in his chest release wave after wave of warm energy. It spread through his entire body in an instant and felt even purer than Blue Star's Spirit Qi.
His weary body absorbed it almost instinctively. His fatigue vanished at once, leaving him exhilarated, as if he had sunk into a hot spring and every pore in his body had opened in bliss.
And that was not all.
