Inner Demons

The demons previously only knew that this Li Yunxin had higher cultivation, but they had no concrete concept. Now, knowing he was in the True Realm and seeing him raise his hand to instantly kill the Red Serpent King, they finally realized how terrifying that must be—it was a power beyond their comprehension.

So, after a slight pause, they immediately scattered like birds, with only the Long Bend Valley Lord, the Crimson Flame Vermilion Toad King, standing still in place, as if watching from the sidelines.

This action saved his life. The fleeing demons could not escape the control of a True Realm great demon-fiend. Li Yunxin, in mid-air, waved his sleeve, and dozens of streams of demonic power went straight for several major named demon-fiends. With such a gap in realms, technique and scheming were irrelevant. His demonic power meant instant death upon contact; in just two breaths, all those Valley Lords and Stream Masters were completely eradicated by him. The smaller demons also dropped into the water like dumplings, thrashing around before disappearing.

An hour ago, the island was still brilliant and lively. Now, it was still brilliant. But the two words must be spoken separately—the firelight was bright, and the ground was a mess of rotten flesh. The white sandy beach was stained red, and the lake water had also changed color. Only five people remained standing—Bai Yunxin and her maid, Li Yunxin, and the Toad King, as well as the maid's birth father, the thousand-year-old Turtle Demon.

The two Valley Lords of this lake were not benevolent people, having countless lives of demons and humans on their hands. But had they ever witnessed such a slaughter? Li Yunxin was highly skilled and did not have a demon's heart, so he was naturally ruthless in killing demons, without the slightest hesitation.

He spared the Toad King because of his unusual attitude earlier, and he spared the Turtle Demon because of Bai Yunxin's maidservant.

Li Yunxin descended from the air, the blood and flesh under his feet squishing with "plop-plop" sounds as he walked up to the Toad King and looked down at him.

The Toad King, though not entirely composed, didn't seem overly panicked. He slightly raised his head and met Li Yunxin's gaze, saying, "They brought death upon themselves, and I had to obey. But it was only cheering, not a capital offense."

"That's why you seem like a smart person," Li Yunxin reached out and patted his shoulder, then turned to look at Bai Yunxin's little maid, "Little girl, what about your father?"
