Chapter 369 – The True Form of the Ox Demon Tramples (1/2)

“It’s fine, captain. Daemons can regrow it.”

“What would you know? If you end up leaving behind any side effects and it can’t stiffen anymore, it won’t be pretty.”

Ye Liusu was utterly disgusted. She could not be bothered about dealing with them anymore.

She swam around in the darkness like a fish. The world had become completely different in her eyes. Li Qingshan’s existence stood out like a white speck on a black curtain. She approached him silently and swung her dagger.

Xiao An grew nervous. She possessed her own perspective, which allowed her to “see” the existence of living beings. Even within the darkness, Ye Liusu struggled to hide her powerful aura of life. Xiao An could see every movement she made.

The swift flash of the dagger rapidly approached the back of Li Qingshan’s neck.

He smiled, turned around, and swung out who knew how many times in a single instant. The ice blade was like a flower in full bloom. Blade aura filled every inch of space behind him. As long as Ye Liusu was there, she would definitely become trapped in the interwoven net of swings.

The temperature in the cavern seemed to fall by a few degrees all of a sudden. The incoming chilly wind forced the night roamer guards to stagger back. Ye Liubo shivered, and the cockiness vanished from her face. Now solemn, she grabbed her bow once more. Only then did she feel slightly safer. She could not even block a single stroke of his.

“What a terrifying blade technique. He definitely isn’t a regular Daemon General, but it’s impossible for the great king to lose. It’s impossible if he wants to defeat the king like this!”

The curved blade came and went as a flash, no different from a comet. It was impossible to grasp its movements.

The thousands of blurs overlapped once more into an ice blade and fell down, reflecting a lock of scarlet red hair. The scarlet pupils moved. “Looks like it’s not just invisibility, but actually merging into the darkness!”

He could even cut through water with his blade, but he was unable to cut through shadows.

“Admit defeat. You can’t see me, nor can you harm me.” Ye Liusu’s voice rang out from all directions, from every inch of darkness. Combined with the echoing effect, it seemed like hundreds of voices speaking at the same time.

“You can see me, but you can’t harm me either!” Li Qingshan placed the ice blade on his shoulder and said lazily. The tiny nicks on his body had all healed instantly.

“I’m just reluctant to use my killing move. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. It’s pointless even if you keep dragging it out like this.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Li Qingshan suddenly raised his blade high into the air, which gave off a blue light. Since he could not cut her with his blade, he would cut her with light. However, he failed to discover Ye Liusu’s traces.

“I see. Since you’re night roamers, then you need sunlight for it to work.” Li Qingshan withdrew his daemon qi and rubbed his chin in thought.

“You’re welcome to try it!” Ye Liusu said.

Ye Liubo smiled. “We’re underground. No matter how capable you are, you won’t get any sunlight here.”

“Not necessarily!” Li Qingshan shook his head. He raised his hand, and suddenly, a golden speck of light appeared above him. The speck of light swelled, turning into a golden ball of fire.

“What is that!? It’s blinding!” Ye Liubo shielded her eyes instinctively.

The dazzling light purged the darkness, revealing a black figure in front of the wall to Li Qingshan’s left.

The golden light did not possess any terrifying power to kill, but the dense darkness did end up receding bit by bit, revealing Ye Liusu’s figure. She stared at the golden ball of fire in a daze. “Is that… the sun?”

“That’s right, it’s the sun!” Li Qingshan held the miniature sun he had conjured from his Divine Talisman of Great Creation in his right hand, bringing it before him. He gently touched its golden rays that seemed more like hair; it was scorching but not too hot. As a result, he poured some more power of belief into it so that it could shine even brighter. It was as easy as controlling a large lightbulb.

Of course, even if Li Qingshan poured in all of his power of belief, he would not be able to conjure even a billionth of the real sun. However, it was not fake. It gave off real sunlight.

The tiny, golden ball of fluff had become the bane of the Night Roaming folk’s other ability. They might have been kings of the night, but he had turned this place into daytime.

Ye Liubo tried her best to open her eyes, but Li Qingshan’s figure had been completely swallowed by the light from the sun, blurring him. The weaker guards even began to tear up, turning around and closing their eyes.

Actually, sunlight posed no harm to the Night Roaming folk at all. It was like darkness to regular people, which could only affect their senses. In particular, night roamers who had cultivated before should not have been affected by sunlight, let alone this miniature sun that Li Qingshan had conjured.

However, they had lived underground for far, far too long. Every single night roamer basically spent their entire life completely submerged in darkness from birth to death, which strengthened their other ability but weakened their resistance to sunlight to an unprecedented level.

Ye Liusu did her best to cloak herself in darkness again. Darkness constantly surged around her, but just the slightest interference would prevent her from merging with the darkness perfectly, preventing her from using the ability of Night Roaming.
