Chapter 270 – Past and Present Fate (Part Two) (2/2)

However, the vast sky of stars could not be seen here. It was not because the snowflakes flew around too swiftly, or because the clouds were too thick, but because that shadow cast from Xuelao City enveloped the entire sky.

The place was too close to Xuelao City. The terrifying Demon Lord did not need to leave the city to exert his will over this area. Turning himself into a shadow, he indifferently observed this human.

If it were a normal human, they would be frozen into a pillar of ice in the instant that shadow arrived. Their spiritual sense would be destroyed, and in the end they would be motes of dust on the snowy plain. However, Su Li did not, because he was no ordinary human.

On his left shoulder was a clear wound, but there was no sign of blood. There was only a pitch-black substance, thick like ink. In addition, the black water was at this very moment gurgling as it boiled.

What sort of poison was this, that it was actually so frightening?

Su Li looked at that distant demon general who was like a small mountain and mockingly said, ”After so many years, and you still can only use such petty poisons! No wonder the only thing you can do is follow and lick the feet of Number One.”

In the Demon Army, that demon general was ranked second. He was the incomparably terrifying Lord Hai Di.

Some sort of fierce battle had occurred, and the second ranked demon general Hai Di had managed to leave that horrifying wound on Su Li's shoulder. However, he had paid an even more painful price.

His right arm had been cut off by Su Li's sword.

But there was no pain or anger on Hai Di's face, only indifference.

He said indifferently to Su Li, ”Around a hundred years ago, you chopped off one of my limbs, but it only took me ten or so years to grow it back. As for Number One's feet, if she was willing to let me lick them, I would already be kneeling.”

Su Li clicked his tongue in astonishment. ”Only you demons can be so bold in your shamelessness. But even if you lick Number One until she's comfortable, right now you're missing an arm. Aren't you afraid that Number Three will take advantage of its absence and take your life, then rip you to pieces and eat you?”

Demons were respected for their strength. The picture he described very well could happen.

A voice rang out in the snowy night. It was Black Robe's voice. ”This will not happen, because I will not permit it, and His Majesty will not permit it.”

Hai Di nodded at Su Li, then took up his arm and began to retreat. With each step, a massive and deep crack formed in the snowy plain. This was the result of his inability to control his Qi after his wound. It was truly difficult to imagine what sort of frightening strength he had possessed when he was whole. Of course, it was even more impossible to imagine just how powerful Su Li was chop off his arm in one blow.

Although Su Li had won one bout, he still had no opportunity.

Because two more mountainous demon figures slowly began to approach.

Those were the fourth and seventh demon generals.

For the purpose of killing Mount Li's Junior Martial Uncle, the demons had set into motion far too many experts.

These were all true experts.

Since the end of that gloomy war which upturned heaven and earth came to an end several hundred years ago, this was the first time such an array of forces had appeared.

Su Li spit out some bloody saliva in front of him, rubbed his somewhat cold cheeks, then said, ”A battle, then a battle, and then another battle! Are you guys annoyed? Can't you be a little more straightforward?”

Black Robe chuckled. Although a hat obscured his face, the smile in his eyes that were as deep as the sea was still very clear. The night could not conceal it.

He looked at Su Li and smiled. ”You're starting to panic.”

Su Lu said derisively, ”Only a truly panicked person would attempt this sort of psychological warfare.”

Black Robe calmly replied, ”Time is slowly passing by. You don't know how long your daughter can hold on. How can you not be panicked?”

At these words, Su Li had no response.

From the start, the corners of his lips had always been perked up. Even during his bloody battle with Hai Di was this so. In this way did he express his contempt and disdain for this demon plot as well as this snowy realm.

But now, the slight smile finally disappeared.
