Chapter 1159: Chapter 1048: Thank You_2
The next instant, dozens of thunders struck down simultaneously, hitting the group of fierce ghosts and turning into a boiling thunder pool, continuously eroding their evil and malicious energy.
Within just a few breaths, the originally dense canopy had become much thinner, and even several cracks had appeared.
"This is impossible!" Shaluo couldn’t believe it and shouted.
The power of Jiamu Yang Thunder mixed with the Purification Principle was indeed extraordinary, possessing significant restraint over demon cultivators.
The Demonslaying Divine Ability of the Qianling Realm is actually a hybrid Divine Power, primarily using the extremely rigid and positive Thunder Method integrated with Yang Qi and fire Qi that restrains evil energy, among other Laws.
The Primal Spirit Realm also has similar Divine Powers, but cultivators from minor forces like Li Zhirui have to spend Contribution Value to exchange and learn them.
After all, the various integration ratios involve profound intricacies, which are not so easily experimented with, and the backlash from Divine Powers is not pleasant to endure.
Unless your luck is at its peak, and you just happen to guess correctly!
Hearing the agony-filled wails of the fierce ghosts, Shaluo couldn’t just sit back and do nothing; after all, these ghosts were cultivated with a lot of manpower, resources, and wealth, as they were one of his trump cards, and he couldn’t let them go to waste.
As a last resort, Shaluo had to inject more mana into them to help them withstand this attack.
"Are you all not planning to make a move yet?!"
At the same time, he also pressured the other two to take action, to help share the tremendous pressure Li Zhirui brought upon him.
"Hahaha, I never expected Brother Shaluo to be so vulnerable, what a disappointment."
The burly demon cultivator Pan Shan, with dark skin, grinned, showing his teeth stained with fresh blood and bits of flesh, looking ferocious and terrifying.
Shaluo was annoyed as he knew his performance had made Pan Shan and Gu Changlin underestimate him. They were probably calculating how to deal with him after Li Zhirui was taken care of.
"Let me teach you, brother." Pan Shan’s hands wielded two large hammers, and with just a light swing, the surrounding space vibrated slightly, indicating how terrifyingly heavy the hammers were.
The seemingly clumsy Pan Shan took a few steps forward, crossing tens of miles instantly, and appeared beside Li Zhirui.
Bang!
The hammer slammed down fiercely, and the space actually rippled with a small hole, which, if it had landed on Li Zhirui, he probably wouldn’t be able to defend against.
Luckily, Li Zhirui’s Escape Skill was excellent, faster than Pan Shan, and he flew away before the hammer struck.
But before he could take a breath of relief, bone spikes emerged near him, stabbing towards him with a dangerous air.
Li Zhirui was about to continue his escape, but he saw the nearby space already filled with a black mist, sealing off the area for him to teleport and evade.
His initial idea of taking on three enemies had now really come to fruition.
But the immense pressure it brought made it extremely difficult for Li Zhirui to cope.
In a short while, the previously well-groomed Li Zhirui had become much disheveled, and although there was no sign of injury yet, it seemed likely to occur if things continued in this manner.
Having no choice, without using the power of Cave Heaven, Li Zhirui’s strength was insufficient to handle three demon cultivators.
Just when Shaluo and the others thought they were about to take down Li Zhirui, he suddenly erupted!
His strength doubled abruptly, and several Jiamu Yang Thunders easily eliminated the bone spikes and black mist, opening up space for Li Zhirui to teleport and move completely.
The three demon cultivators were not surprised; since the opponent dared to initiate the war, he must have had a backup plan, which now seemed to be this Secret Technique that dramatically increased his strength.
They were not afraid, as such Secret Techniques are often unsustainable, lasting half an hour at best.
They didn’t think they couldn’t last even half an hour.
However, after clashing with Li Zhirui again, their hearts were thrown into turmoil; his strength was far greater than they had imagined, almost comparable to that of an Integration pinnacle!
But what surprised them even more was yet to come.
Li Zhirui’s mana seemed inexhaustible; they had already expended most of theirs, yet his attacks showed no signs of weakening at all.
Moreover, half an hour had passed since the activation of the Secret Technique, but there was no sign of any decrease in Li Zhirui’s strength; it remained at an incredibly formidable level.
"How is this possible!"
"Could it be that from the beginning, the opponent was just concealing his skills?"
Shaluo and his two companions were at a loss for what to do.
If they let Li Zhirui escape, losing face would be a minor issue for they, as Demon Cultivators, didn’t care much about such things, but causing the Demonic Tao to lose face was a serious matter.
However, catching Li Zhirui was beyond their reach now!
They were truly caught between a rock and a hard place.
But Li Zhirui had none of these concerns in mind, he was focussed on stimulating himself, resolving the hidden dangers in his Mental State, and pushing his Cultivation to a further level. Thus, the more he fought, the more excited he became, until he was completely immersed in the combat.
Facing the aggressive Li Zhirui, who was out for their lives, the three Demon Cultivators had no choice but to fight back fiercely.
Gradually, the Demon Cultivators’ anger was sparked, and they began to fight more ruthlessly.
Li Zhirui was not alarmed but delighted; this was exactly the kind of enormous pressure he needed right now!
In order to better resolve the hidden dangers in his Mental State, Li Zhirui did not mobilize all of the power of his Cave Heaven like before, as he wanted to put himself in danger!
The Demon Cultivators, upon seeing Li Zhirui’s strength gradually waning, felt a surge of joy, despite his Secret Technique lasting longer than expected, it seemed he could no longer maintain it.
As time progressed, Li Zhirui’s combat power weakened further, providing the three Demon Cultivators with the opportunity they needed, prompting them to unleash their trump cards.
The Ghost General charged again with tens of thousands of Ghost Soldiers, this time with not only more solid bodies but also ghost horses beneath them.
Pan Shan put all his might into smashing two giant hammers, instantly creating two massive mountains in the air.
The remaining Cultivator, Gu Changlin, accumulated Mana and shot out a pale Spirit Light toward Li Zhirui, emitting thick Death Energy.
"Be careful!"
The Golden Eagle, who was engaged with another Demon Cultivator at a distance, happened to see this scene and immediately shouted a warning.
Even though the Golden Eagle knew that being distracted would give the Demon Cultivator an opening, he still did it.
There was no helping it, since Li Zhirui had signed a master-servant contract with him, his life was intricately linked to Li Zhirui, and of course, he couldn’t just watch him die.
"Hahahahaha!"
The Demon Cultivators laughed loudly as the dust filled the air and obscured Li Zhirui’s figure; they believed in the power of their trump cards, all three of them!
Even if they couldn’t kill Li Zhirui outright and reduce him to dust, they could seriously injure him and then he would be at their mercy, wouldn’t he?
However, when the Golden Eagle saw this, his heart trembled, and his opponent seized the opportunity to add another scar to his body.
But as the dust settled, although Li Zhirui was in a sorry state, covered in numerous wounds and bleeding, his eyes shone with a bright light, and he seemed largely unchanged, exuding a different aura than before.
"This is impossible!"
The three Demon Cultivators were as shocked as if they had seen a ghost, Shaluo in particular screaming in disbelief.
Their strength was formidable, and they had even used their trump cards, but they still couldn’t kill a mid-Integration stage Cultivator?
How could they accept this?
"I must thank the three of you for your generous help in overcoming my tribulation. To repay this kindness, allow me to personally accompany you on your journey!" Li Zhirui said with a smile.
If it wasn’t for their trump cards that brought him so close to death and resolved his Mental State troubles.
This great joy, of course, warranted his gratitude.
"What nonsense are you spouting, to be so presumptuous!" The statement completely infuriated the three, who cursed in anger. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Even if Li Zhirui had luckily survived, he was only a mid-Integration stage Cultivator after all, and now he was wounded, yet he dared to utter such laughable words.
