Chapter 187: The Battle of Magic Crystals, Dangers Surround
At the entrance to the Demonic Abyss, the wind howled and the demonic energy rolled like thick ink.
Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli followed Master Yan Yang and the others to the Demon Crystal Battlefield. As soon as they landed, they felt a suffocating pressure. Looking around, they saw a dark mass of cultivators from various demonic sects, all of them with fierce auras and murderous eyes.
"Heh, isn't this the remnant of the Lei family? What, you want to get a piece of the pie too?" A sarcastic voice came. Lei Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man in a blood-stained robe standing in the air. Demonic energy surged around him like a surging sea of blood. It was none other than the giant of the demonic way - the Blood Demon Ancestor!
"You old thief Blood Demon, don't be so proud! Today I, Lei Yi, will avenge the Lei family!" Lei Yi said with red eyes and gritted teeth.
"Hahahaha! Just you? You're overestimating yourself!" The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed heartily, as if he had just heard some utterly ridiculous joke. "Do you still think you're the gifted young master of the Lei family? Now you're nothing but a homeless dog, yet you dare to shout before me?"
Lei Yi clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he said nothing. He knew very well that with his current strength, he was no match for the Blood Demon Ancestor.
"Lei Yi, calm down." Dongfang Liuli held Lei Yi's hand and said softly, "A gentleman's revenge is never too late."
Lei Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and stared coldly at the Blood Demon Ancestor: "I, Lei Yi, came here today only for the magic crystal. The grudge between you and me will be settled later!"
"What a big tone! How can you get your hands on the magic crystal?" Beside the Blood Demon Ancestor, a man in black armor snorted coldly. He was the Blood Demon Ancestor's right-hand man - the Shadow Demon General.
"The magic crystal belongs to those who are capable, so why can't I get my hands on it?" Lei Yi retorted without showing any weakness.
"It's a good oath of office for those who are capable!" A charming voice sounded, and a woman in a black gauze dress came over slowly. She had a charming face, and her eyes were full of bewitching charm. She was the female demon cultivator who participated in the fight for the magic crystal - the Black Evil Witch.
She covered her lips with a soft chuckle, her eyes sweeping disdainfully over Lei Yi before finally settling on Dongfang Liuli. She said playfully, "This must be the famous eldest daughter of the Dongfang family, right? Why are you getting involved in this mess?"
Dongfang Liuli's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "The magic crystal concerns the lives of all people in the world. As a member of the righteous path, I naturally cannot sit idly by."
"What a high-sounding excuse!" The Black Demon Witch sneered, "If that's the case, then let's see for ourselves!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Black Evil Witch launched her first attack. She formed hand seals, and streams of black demonic energy emanated from her fingertips, transforming into countless venomous snakes that roared and attacked Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli... The Black Evil Witch's attack was ruthless. The black demonic energy transformed into venomous snakes, carrying a sickening stench, and swarmed towards Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli from all directions. Lei Yi didn't dare to be careless. He swung his sword with a swift, rainbow-like energy, severing the attacking snakes one by one. However, these snakes seemed endless. After severing one, two or three more would appear, making defense impossible.
"A mere trifle!" Lei Yi snorted coldly, and the sword gesture in his hand changed. He used a move called "Wild Wind Sweeping Fallen Leaves". The sharp sword energy turned into a tornado, which swept all the poisonous snakes around it and crushed them into pieces.
Seeing this, the Black Demon Witch's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said with a sweet smile: "I didn't expect the young master of the Lei family to have some skills. However, this little skill alone is not enough!"
Before she finished speaking, the Black Evil Witch formed seals with her hands again. This time, she summoned a huge black spider. The spider was as big as a house, covered with black hair, and had eight blood-red eyes that emitted a faint light, which was chilling.
The black spider opened its bloody mouth and spewed out clouds of black venom. The venom was extremely corrosive, even corroding the ground into holes. Lei Yi dodged the venom while looking for an opportunity to attack.
"Brother Lei, I'm here to help you!" At this moment, the Shadow Demon General suddenly joined the battle. He held a black long sword in his hand. The blade was engraved with strange runes and emitted a cold light.
The Shadow Demon General was incredibly fast, appearing behind Lei Yi like a ghost and slashing down with his sword. Lei Yi reacted quickly, dodging sideways, but the sword still sliced his arm, and blood instantly stained his sleeve red.
"Despicable!" Lei Yi covered his wound and glared at the Shadow Demon General.
"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. How can you say that it's despicable?" The shadow demon sneered and attacked again with his sword.
Lei Yi dealt with the attacks of the Black Demon Witch while fending off the offensive of the Shadow Demon General, gradually losing the upper hand. He suffered several more wounds on his body, and blood continued to flow, staining the ground red.
Dongfang Liuli saw it and was anxious. She wanted to go forward to help, but was blocked by several demonic monks.
"Miss Dongfang, your opponent is us!" said a demon monk with a grin, his eyes full of greed and evil.
Dongfang Liuli was extremely anxious, but she had no idea what to do. She could only watch Lei Yi getting into a tough fight... Her eyes met Lei Yi's, and she saw the determination in his eyes, and... the ambiguous sneer at the corner of his mouth. What... did he want to do?
Dongfang Liuli's heart felt as if it were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible to breathe. Her beautiful eyes widened as she anxiously tried to step forward to help, but was blocked by several demonic cultivators.
"Miss Dongfang, your opponent is us!" A demon monk said with a sneer, his eyes full of greed and evil. He stared at Dongfang Liuli greedily, as if she were a lamb to be slaughtered.
Dongfang Liuli gritted her teeth, her heart brimming with resentment. Her sword flew, its energy like a rainbow, forcing several demonic cultivators back a few steps. However, the enemy was outnumbered, and she found it difficult to break through the encirclement.
"Brother Lei!" Dongfang Liuli shouted anxiously, but could only watch Lei Yi suffer a tough battle.
Lei Yi's situation was indeed grim. The Black Demon Witch continuously spewed black spider venom, and the Shadow Demon General pursued him relentlessly like a maggot on his tarsal bones, his attacks fierce and brutal, each one aimed directly at Lei Yi's vital points.
"boom!"
The Shadow Demon struck Lei Yi in the chest with a palm. Lei Yi groaned, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. He fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Brother Lei!" Dongfang Liuli was extremely anxious when he saw this. He wanted to go forward to help, but was entangled by those evil monks.
"Hahaha, young master of the Lei family, you're nothing but this!" The Shadow Demon General laughed triumphantly. He walked slowly to Lei Yi, looking down at him, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule.
"Cough cough..." Lei Yi struggled to get up from the ground, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still stood up stubbornly, looking at the Shadow Demon General with a firm gaze, without any fear.
"What? You still refuse to admit defeat? Do you think you still have a chance?" The Shadow Demon sneered.
"If you want to fight, then fight. Stop talking nonsense!" Lei Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly.
"Good, you have guts!" A hint of admiration flashed in the Shadow Demon General's eyes, but the movement of his hands did not pause at all, and he swung his sword towards Lei Yi again.
Lei Yi took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in his body, and swung his sword to fight. He knew that he couldn't lose this battle today, and he couldn't afford to lose!
A gleam of determination flashed in his eyes, and Dongfang Liuli's anxious face appeared in his mind. He secretly swore in his heart: "Liuli, I will definitely go back alive!"
The sword technique in his hand suddenly changed. It was no longer as sharp as before, but became a little slower, but more steady. Every step was full of power, like a huge rock, giving people an invisible pressure.
The Shadow Demon General was shocked. He felt that Lei Yi's aura had changed, as if a sleeping lion was waking up, exuding a dangerous aura.
"What do you want to do?" the Shadow Demon General asked warily.
Lei Yi didn't answer, but a cold smile appeared on his lips. He slowly raised the long sword in his hand, pointed it at the Shadow Demon General, and said word by word: "Next, the real battle will begin!"
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present. Everyone felt that a powerful force was awakening, like the calm before the storm, so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Lei Yi, waiting for his next move. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Lei Yi, waiting for his next move. Suddenly, the longsword in his hand shone brightly, and a sharp sword energy shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds.
"Lei family swordsmanship, Breaking Army Style!" Lei Yi roared, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out like lightning. The sword energy turned into a golden dragon, roaring and rushing towards the Shadow Demon General.
The Shadow Demon General was horrified. The power of Lei Yi's sword was far beyond his expectations. He hastily raised his sword to block it, but was instantly defeated by the golden dragon, and the magic sword in his hand was also knocked away.
"Puff!" The Shadow Demon spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backwards like a cannonball, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Brother Lei is so powerful!" Dongfang Liuli was overjoyed upon seeing this. She seized the opportunity, swung her sword, and forced back the several demonic cultivators who were besieging her. Then she flew to Lei Yi's side and asked with concern, "Brother Lei, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lei Yi shook his head. Although he was injured, it was not serious. He turned his head to look at the magic crystal not far away, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Liuli, cover me!" Lei Yi whispered, then ignored his injuries and rushed towards the magic crystal again.
"Lei Yi, don't even think about succeeding!" Upon seeing this, the Black Evil Witch immediately swung the black whip in her hand and attacked Lei Yi.
Lei Yi snorted coldly, swung the sword in his hand, and a sword energy repelled the black whip, and then continued to rush towards the magic crystal.
"Stop him!" The Shadow Demon struggled to get up from the ground and shouted loudly.
The surrounding demonic monks immediately swarmed over, trying to stop Lei Yi.
A fierce look flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. He no longer held back his strength. The long sword in his hand turned into a series of afterimages, knocking all the surrounding demon monks away.
"Get out of here!" Lei Yi roared, and killed the last demon monk who stood in front of him with one palm, then reached out to grab the magic crystal.
"Don't even think about it!" The Shadow Demon General roared, and he tried his best to attack Lei Yi again.
After being struck and knocked down by the Shadow Demon General, Lei Yi's eyes revealed a resolute look. He took advantage of the gap between the Shadow Demon General's attacks and suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of spiritual energy, unleashing a unique skill he had created: "Nine Heavens Thunder!"
