Chapter 1409: 1173 Chapter_2

Seeing this, Li Zhirui understood that the situation which seemed like a self-detonation just now was just a step in the opponent’s Secret Technique. The real intent was to escape.

“Damn it!”

Li Zhirui’s expression was somber, the air around him freezing, not because Lin Chang got away, but due to his own arrogance!

He thought his abilities were overwhelmingly strong, something a Loose Cultivator couldn’t possibly break, and the only outcome would be their death by his hand.

But now, Li Zhirui received a solid slap in the face!

The Independent Immortals he had encountered before were just a tiny fraction, and most were Loose Cultivators, hailing from the Water Clan. Easily killing them was nothing to boast about!

The Primal Spirit Realm is vast, with countless beings born, and who knows how many prodigies emerge. Those slightly inferior are even more numerous.

This time, Li Zhirui encountered a Late-stage Independent Immortal Demon Cultivator, not someone renowned, yet he had a means to counter the technique Li Zhirui prided himself on.

And when looking at the entire world, beings like him may not be common, but they are definitely not rare!

Li Zhirui’s originally peaceful Mental State began experiencing violent fluctuations. Fortunately, upon realizing this, he immediately worked to calm down, avoiding any serious issues.

“Good thing, there’s no severe problem due to my arrogance,” Li Zhirui said with a bitter smile, comforting himself.

And this also proved that his decision to venture out for experience was the right one. Isolating himself like a frog at the bottom of a well was unwise, especially since the Shanhai State where the Li family resides is a very remote and backward region, seldom encountering any exceptional beings.

Thus, it easily fostered his arrogant and conceited mentality.

Having understood these, the originally firm bottleneck showed a slight loosening. Although it wasn’t yet broken through, it was a good sign.

Due to Li Zhirui’s appearance, the fierce battle on the battlefield suddenly stopped, and they were wary, guarding against each other and the two distant Immortal Realm Great Abilities.

“You have been tricked by that Demon Cultivator.”

Li Zhirui casually reminded them, not caring whether they believed or not, and before they could react, he rode the auspicious clouds and flew out of their sight.

Days later, he suddenly stopped in front of a great mountain.

“Sneaking around all the way, do you still refuse to show yourself?” His cold voice spread all around, causing the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests to flee in all directions.

“Hehe.”

With a charming laugh as melodious as silver bells, a scantily-dressed and voluptuous female cultivator appeared before Li Zhirui.

“A Demon Cultivator practicing the extracting and replenishing technique?”

Li Zhirui’s eyes were full of disdain. This type of Demon Cultivator was the most abominable, relying not on Cultivation but extracting and replenishing, wreaking havoc among cultivators to enhance their own Cultivation.

And almost no cultivators who fell into their vicious hands survived!

After all, their spirit was drained dry unless they consumed certain Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or very precious Precious Pills. Otherwise, there was only a dead end.

“Hehe, little brother, you probably haven’t tasted true ecstasy. Why not let sister take you to try it?” Her voice was full of enchantment.

If one’s Dao Heart wasn’t firm, upon hearing this, they might obediently approach and become a dinglu for this demoness, then be extracted to death!

“Humph!”

Li Zhirui snorted coldly, without hesitation, he attacked her, countless pythons flying forth, each giant tree suspended in mid-air, ready to fall at any moment to block her path.

“Good brother, wouldn’t it be nice to indulge in ecstasy together? Why resort to such violence?” That female demon’s coy voice continuously eroded his will and Dao Heart.

“Your Bewitching Technique hasn’t matured enough!”

Li Zhirui remained as steadfast as a rock, unmoved by her, and his attacks became even more incisive and lethal.

“Damn it!”

Seeing that her most adept Bewitching Technique had no effect, the demoness became angry with shame, waving her hand, a rosy miasma filled the air, its terrifying corrosiveness breached the pythons’ defenses in an instant, dissolving them completely within a few breaths!

A glint of brilliance flashed in Li Zhirui’s eyes. He loved fighting against beings proficient in filth and impurity, because the Purification Principle he mastered of course gave him a natural advantage over them.

“Good brother, your sister will give you one more chance to indulge in ecstasy with me together.”

The only response she got was a series of howling vines that specifically lashed towards her face.

Smack!

A vine suddenly emerged from The Void, whipping viciously across the female demon’s face, leaving a visible white-bone wound.

“Ah ah ah! So itchy! Why does it itch so much!”

The female demon’s expression changed drastically, looking at Li Zhirui with eyes eager to devour him, she said with an extremely icy voice: “You actually used poison, daring to ruin my appearance!”

“I want you to wish for death rather than life!”

In an instant, the originally charming demoness truly transformed into a massive demon statue, yet her allure increased strangely several times, causing even Li Zhirui’s Dao Heart to waver for a moment.

Rumble——

The earth ruptured, countless rocks flew in the air, forming a dense attack web racing towards Li Zhirui, while a mass of miasma-formed venomous snakes also pounced on him.

Li Zhirui’s expression changed slightly, he didn’t expect the female demon’s power would increase so much in anger, making it hard for him to cope.

“Die for me!”

The enraged female demon attacked Li Zhirui frantically, with the posture of intending to absolutely kill him.

No! It wasn’t just a posture; she truly wanted to kill him to avenge her ruined appearance.

But once Li Zhirui adapted to her attacks, he began to counterattack, various vines lashing out, while on the other side, Purification Spiritual Light dispersed those miasmas.

Nevertheless, it still put significant pressure on him, she was much stronger than the Demon Cultivator he met before.

For a while, neither side could do anything to the other, both were constantly attacking, hoping to find the opponent’s flaw during this process.

A no-holds-barred battle between Independent Immortals would severely damage the surrounding environment.

As a Demon Cultivator, the female demon didn’t care about Karmic Force or causality, but Li Zhirui couldn’t ignore it like her. Yet her powerful strength meant if he held back, he might end up defeated and injured. Therefore, he could only think about making amends afterward.

The two opponents continued to drag on, waiting for the moment when the other’s Mana was exhausted.

The female demon was confident about this, being a cultivation level ahead and already starting to break into the Realm of Human Immortality, could she lose in a Mana contest against a mid-stage Independent Immortal?

If Li Zhirui knew her thoughts, he would surely laugh endlessly. Competing in Mana with someone backed by a Minor Thousand World is simply lunacy!

Two hours passed, and the female demon sharply noticed something amiss.

Her strength was declining, but her opponent was still in a state of perfection!

“How is this possible?”

The originally advantageous female demon, countered step by step by Li Zhirui, was forced into a perilous situation, causing her already fragile mentality to emit a sharp, piercing question.

“Finally, it’s my turn now!”

Li Zhirui’s lips curled into a cold smile, he definitely wouldn’t let her off easily to repay her for the ‘sparring’ and ‘guidance’ over this two-hour period.

Crack——

A pure white lightning instantly struck the demoness, eliciting a pained scream, while a wisp of Purification Power drilled into her body.

However, Li Zhirui’s plan was discovered right from the start!

That wisp of Purification Power was instantly eliminated, making her vigilant as she realized it posed a deadly threat.

The series of defeats also made the female demon, whose mind was clouded with anger, quickly calm down. Determining the current situation was significantly disadvantageous for her, she didn’t hesitate to withdraw and leave.

Li Zhirui didn’t pursue, rather he stayed behind to clean up, striving to restore the area as much as possible, preventing himself from getting tainted by Karmic Force.

‘Still, are Demon Cultivators so easily encountered in today’s East Continent?’
