After knocking back a third-tier demon, Li Yu saw space distort at the edge of his vision, refracting red light into a brilliant trail of flame.
(Such a powerful aura, distorting space with every movement... This is... a Demon General!)
Blood rushed to Li Yu's head. Even as terror gripped his heart, he gathered all his strength and charged into the distance.

Li Yu rapidly formed hand seals with both hands and sent a message to Little Purple through the Demonic Energy Device.
