This was bad.
The same thought flashed through everyone's mind.
Demon King Lis wielded a Law that countered Xiao Qiyue too well.
As that realization raced through their minds,
Lis vanished again!
This time, she reappeared on Xiao Qiyue's left, her dagger thrusting straight for her throat!
Clang!
Su Ye blocked it just in time with the Blood Shadow Battle Saber, sending sparks flying!
But Lis retreated after a single strike, became a blur again, and attacked from another angle!
"Her speed..."
Xiao Qiyue's face turned grave.
"She's faster than the intelligence said!"
"It's not speed."
Su Ye used neither his Law Embryo nor his Space Means.
Instead, he relied on sheer reflexes and saber skill to fend off Lis's attacks for Xiao Qiyue.
Even as he struggled to block her, he analyzed the situation calmly.
"She's progressed further with Law Fusion. The intelligence was wrong—she hasn't just 'begun to fuse' them. She's already fused them by more than thirty percent!"
The moment he finished speaking, Lis split into three!
Three afterimages lunged at Xiao Qiyue from different directions, each radiating the genuine pressure of a Demon King!
"I can't tell which one's real!"
Xia Zhiqiu cried out.
"I'll handle it!"
Mu Wanrou formed a hand seal. Emerald light became dozens of vines that lashed toward the three afterimages.
But the instant the vines touched them, the Dark Law corroded them, and they withered!
Shen Mo struck from the shadows, driving his dagger at the back of one afterimage—but his blade met empty air!
That one was fake!
The real Lis had appeared behind Xiao Qiyue!
Got her!
Delight flashed in Lis's eyes as she stabbed at the back of Xiao Qiyue's neck!
The strike was fast, precise, and vicious!
An all-out ambush by a Demon King could gravely wound,
