Episode 98 Struggle

  "I'd like to see how you'll enforce your strong-arm tactics in broad daylight!" Facing the two arrogant little demons, a hint of disdainful smile flashed across Li Yan's face, and for an instant, a glimmer of murderous intent flickered in his pupils before vanishing without a trace.

  At this moment, one side refused to sell and the other wanted to force a purchase, and the scene suddenly became deadlocked.

  As for the purpose of these two little demons, Li Yan was very clear in his heart. As a cultivated demon, he naturally had a stronger sense of spiritual objects than ordinary people. Although the cultivation of these two little demons was somewhat inferior, it was enough to see that the true value of the protective jade pendant refined by Li Yan was not ordinary.

  Throughout history, the cultivation world has never been comparable to the secular world. This is a world where the strong are respected and fighting and casualties are inevitable. The protective jade pendant refined by Li Yan has a subtle spiritual energy inside, with magical and mysterious techniques that have a great effect on both demons and human cultivators, and may even save lives in critical moments!

  Although such a protective jade pendant has little use value for top strongmen like Li Yan, and he won't use it, but in the eyes of these two small monsters, it's another story altogether. Refining equipment is not an easy task for most demons, so the life-saving artifact refined by Li Yan is invaluable to them.

  Seeing Li Yan's determination, the two small demons couldn't help but change their expressions and exchange a glance. As accomplished demon cultivators, they could see the value of the protective jade pendant at a glance and naturally considered obtaining it a top priority. The black dwarf's face revealed a sinister glow as he forced a smile and moved his large mouth: "Kid, I'll give you one last piece of advice - it's best not to refuse an offer that's good for you. Sell me the jade pendant, name your price. Otherwise..."

  "Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Just then, a discordant voice cut in, and Li Yan involuntarily took a step back, yielding the position. The newcomers were none other than Ling and Ziyan from the Security Bureau's Qianlong Group. Zero's face was filled with righteous indignation as he said: "I really didn't believe it. You dare to cause trouble in broad daylight!"

  "Alright, all the actors have finally arrived." Li Yan watched this scene unfold before his eyes and couldn't help but feel amused. He casually pulled Lin Xiaojun, who was just about to speak, and the two of them took a few steps back. He had been waiting for half a day, and the good show was finally about to begin. Naturally, he didn't want Lin Xiaojun to disrupt this scene. At this moment, Li Yan's face showed no change in expression, but his heart was already bursting with joy.

  The black dwarf man originally had a ferocious expression, but when he saw Zero and Ziyan, he suddenly hesitated, slightly giving rise to some apprehension. However, when he caught sight of the protective jade pendant hanging on Lin Xiaojun's chest, his heart suddenly became resolute, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. Immediately after, he took a sudden step forward, and an invisible, intangible force burst forth, surging towards Zero like a torrent.

  In the cultivation world, it has always been a law that the strong are revered. Although the black dwarf man sensed a hint of threatening power from Zero, he had never clashed with him before, so after weighing his options, he decided to make a move. The temptation of the protective jade pendant was just too great for him.

  Sensing the pressure emanating from him, Li Yan's body involuntarily shifted to block Lin Xiaojun, although the short black man was just a minor demon with less than 500 years of cultivation. However, he still had an impact on ordinary people like Lin Xiaojun. To avoid exposing the divine properties of his protective jade pendant, he discreetly neutralized the incoming force, rendering it imperceptible.

  In comparison, Zero's martial arts skills were not weak and had reached the peak of the Liquidization Realm, making him an unmatched master-level strongman. However, he was facing a demon, not an ordinary human opponent. As soon as his opponent made their move, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  This power came extremely quietly, and it can be seen that this black dwarf man is still relatively cautious and does not dare to easily explode with extraordinary power in broad daylight, otherwise, he would have committed a taboo. To say nothing of the fact that they are just small demons with less than 500 years of cultivation, even if they were big demons with more than 500 years of cultivation, it's estimated that they would also die very miserably.

  At this moment, he let out a cold snort and took a step forward without making a sound. With a flip of his hand, a thick, innate true energy transformed into an invisible palm force that he slowly pushed out. It collided head-on with the black dwarf's power. Although it was silent and invisible, the scattered energy still stirred up the surrounding air, forming a gust of wind that whistled "whoosh" as it spread out in all directions.

  "Your innate true energy is indeed impressive!" The black dwarf man's eyes involuntarily flashed with anger as he spoke. Humans had a natural talent for cultivation, and once their aptitude was suitable, they would make rapid progress in their practice. He, on the other hand, was a demon who had been cultivating for nearly five hundred years but still couldn't compare to humans who had only cultivated for decades. This made him feel irritable and violent. At this moment, a nameless anger ignited in his heart, and he leaned forward, instantly stirring up a dark current that burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam, rushing straight at Ling Tian.

  At this moment, Lai San was no longer just trying to snatch the protective jade pendant, but more because of his hatred for human cultivators, which ignited his fierce jealousy.

  Uh!？Sensing the sudden surge in power from his opponent, Zero couldn't help but pause for a moment. However, being one realm higher than his opponent, he was able to shift the turbulent palm force back and forth, constantly colliding with Lai San's demonic energy. In an instant, the two had already exchanged three or four moves, and the scattered forces that were released instantly stirred up a strong gust of wind in the surrounding area, sweeping it open.

  Consecutive attacks were ineffective, and Lai San's anger grew even greater. At this moment, he suddenly became reckless and disregarded the situation. With a flip of his hand, the invisible demonic energy was condensed into a beam, which violently burst out.

  He couldn't help but be shocked at the sight, and in the next moment, he couldn't care about anything else. With a wave of his hand, his innate true energy burst forth, unleashing a powerful palm force that condensed around him in an instant.

  Standing beside Zero, Ziyan felt an overwhelming and unstoppable force, like a tidal wave, rushing towards her, pushing her back seven or eight steps. This was the power unleashed by Lai San and Zero combined. Under this force, even someone as strong as Ziyan had no resistance whatsoever. Her eyes changed color constantly, filled with shock and bewilderment.

  "Unexpectedly, this demon's cultivation is actually so exquisite, I'm afraid it won't take long before he can make further progress. I wonder if Zero can win against him!" In an instant, Ziyuan's mind turned over several thoughts, but she didn't have the intention to intervene immediately.

  In an instant, the two forces collided head-on, and this attack was truly powerful for both of them. Suddenly, a whirlwind was stirred up, and the mighty force rippled out in all directions like the ripples on the surface of the water.

  "Good heavens, these two guys, don't they think this is the countryside or something? They're not even afraid of making a big noise and startling ordinary people. If that happens, it won't be good!" As he watched the surging waves of energy spreading out, Li Yan couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath. In an instant, the Great Mustache Seal Boundary had already enveloped the surrounding void, completely isolating this area.

  Although Lai San had the advantage of striking first, unfortunately, his cultivation was at most only comparable to the Yin God Wind Style. Compared to Ling, a martial arts master who had already reached the realm of Yang God, he was clearly inferior. In their initial exchange, they were evenly matched, but after a brief delay, Ling quickly gained the upper hand. With a surge of palm force, he forced Lai San back several steps, and it was clear that the outcome was already decided.

  "Ah?!" Lai San was about to make another move, but was pulled back by the seductive woman beside him. She smiled and said: "So it's a master from the Security Bureau, I, Silver Ring, have been rude." It wasn't until then that Lai San clearly saw that on Ling and Zi Yan's wrists were tied silk ribbons embroidered with golden dragons. At this point, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but remained silent.

  The Security Bureau's Subduing Dragon Unit is a gathering of experts, and although they are not an invincible force, they are also not someone that these small monsters can provoke.

  In this world, there are many demons and monsters that can't be underestimated. The Million Demon Alliance is called the Million Demon for a reason, even if it's an exaggeration. Even powerful demons and demon kings dare not provoke the Security Bureau, let alone these lesser ones. One misstep and they'll have to worry about their lives.

  "Hmm!" Zero slightly moved his hands and feet, and had to say that there was a difference between humans and demons from birth. Although he had won over Lai San, it wasn't easy for him either, but at this moment, he had to show some demeanor, and said with a tone: "How's that? What do you think about today's matter?"

  "Since both of you have intervened, we two naturally cannot not give you face. This matter will be settled like this." The silver ring smiled seductively and opened her mouth to speak, then immediately dragged Lai San away. However, before leaving, a fierce aura burst out from the bodies of the two, churning restlessly in the air. It seems that this matter is not so easily concluded after all...
