Chapter 387: Broken Tail

Atlas Studios

“Still alive? Kid, you’re quite lucky.”

“However, you won’t live for more than seven days after being hit by my Black Death Hair Needle.”

“If you know what’s good for you, remove the mark of the treasure coffin yourself. You can still find yourself a tomb with a good location.”

“Otherwise, if you die here, your death will be very ugly.”

This greater demon was very confident in its methods. That sinister Black Death Hair Needle had always been successful.

However, Jiang Li paid no attention to his threat at all. He sniffed the air and smelled a special stench.

“Lwas wondering what it was. So it’s a dirty smelly rat.”

This greater demon who called itself the Lord of Thieves was originally a rat. In comparison, it was not good at fighting, but it liked to sneak around.

After becoming a greater demon, he displayed his racial talent to the limit. His speed was extremely fast and he landed silently.

No wonder Jiang Li was utterly unable to notice the sneak attack earlier.

The soil beneath his feet exploded as his figure rushed towards the rat demon.

“Hehe, since you’re courting death, don’t blame me.”

He licked his exposed front teeth. A black shadow flashed and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Li who pounced over at full speed smashed his fist into the air, causing the ground to collapse. An underground river below was shattered by his fist, and instantly, the surrounding ground started to spew muddy underground water.

This guy’s speed was not inferior to the Asura Blood Race he had seen before.

No matter how powerful his attack was or how powerful his strength was, it was useless if he could not capture the other party.

Just as his force was exerted and the second attack had yet to be dealt, the tail whip that was covered in fur lashed out at him again.

The tail whip was silent and its speed far exceeded the speed at which sound spread.

Jiang Li’s ears were useless at this moment.

By the time he felt a sense of danger coming from behind, the tail whip had already landed on his body.

Slam!

He was fiercely slapped flying again, but this time, Jiang Li flipped over in the air. After adjusting his figure, he landed steadily on the ground. Obviously, it did not cause much of an effect.

‘The Black Scale Armor had already covered his entire body. The power of the tail whip was not bad, but it was far from enough to break through the Black Scale Armor’s defense.

The tail whip did not have any effect. Instead of being angry, the rat demon was overjoyed.

“Squeak, another Earth-rank artifact. Good, good, good! I’m really rich this time!”

Under a collapsed ruin, a pair of eyes that were not much larger than green beans lit up with spiritual light, and they discerned the grade of the artifact in Jiang Li’s body with a single glance.

This rat actually had a pair of treasure-seeking eyes.

‘The flickering spiritual light attracted Jiang Li’s attention, and he immediately jumped above the ruins. He raised his right foot high and smashed it down fiercely.

The ruins were crushed into pieces by the barbaric force, but a black shadow leaped out of the ruins before it was affected.

Then, another meat whip flew over and struck Jiang Li three times.

Jiang Li still liked opponents who faced him head-on. He relied on brute force alone and exaggerated recovery ability.

As long as his opponent was not strong enough to instantly defeat him, theoretically speaking, Jiang Li could slowly grind his opponent to death.

However, Jiang Li was really helpless against a speed-type opponent. Moreover, not only was the other party’s speed extremely fast, he also had an extremely powerful concealment ability.

‘When he finally stabilized his figure, Jiang Li was unable to find the other party again.

In this ruin, a flesh colored afterimage would flash past from time to time, and it fiercely blasted Jiang Li flying.

‘The other party was like a sniper on the battlefield. Every time he lashed out, he would change locations. He was extremely cautious.

Every time Jiang Li regained his footing, he wanted to follow the trajectory of the previous attack and find the other party’s location.

‘That guy had already left a step in advance and did not plan to give him any chance.

He wanted to rely on his speed and concealment methods to exhaust Jiang Li to death here.

Jiang Li knew this, but he could not stop it.

This aggrieved battle lasted for nearly half an hour.

Then, Jiang Li who had been beaten up during this period of time suddenly calmed down.

On the other side, the three million ghost soldiers had all returned to the coffin.

In half an hour, three million huge ghost soldiers had already been released and captured all the small demons and humans that could be found in the entire Five Banishment City.

At this speed, not to mention ghosts, even sect cultivators with rationality would find it difficult to do it.

This was not a matter of strength, but the degree of command he had over the chaotic ghosts.

In this operation, they did not waste any time. They followed the orders perfectly.

To be able to train the ghost soldiers to this extent, the spider lily and carefree grass in the coffin were an important factor. Qin Shuman was indeed quite capable.

If Jiang Li had acted casually earlier, that rat demon might have attacked his ghost soldiers.

With his strength, Jiang Li would probably suffer heavy losses in a short period of time against the ghost soldiers.

That was why he deliberately acted like he was defeated and helpless.

It was to attract the rat demon’s attention alone and let the ghost soldiers complete the mission as soon as possible.

Now, the opportunity had arrived. With a wave of his hand, the Yin Burial Coffin that the rat demon was originally unable to move no matter how hard it tried automatically flew over and landed in Jiang Li’s hand.

After putting away the coffin, he no longer cared about the troublesome demon. He stepped on the air and ran towards the distant forest.

“That’s my artifact, don’t you dare leave!”

When that fellow saw Jiang Li about to leave, how could he bear to part with the two Earth-rank artifacts that Jiang Li had?

The black shadow flew out from the ruins and followed closely behind Jiang Li.

However, the rat demon did not attack Jiang Li, nor did it stop him from leaving.

Presumably, this “Lord of Thieves” also knew that this was not a place to stay long.

If the other demons returned, nine out of ten of them would have a feud with a great bandit like him.

At that time, it was hard to say who would be surrounded and attacked. Jiang Li might not be able to escape, and he would not be able to survive either.

In any case, this rat demon had unilaterally beaten Jiang Li for half an hour and had already determined that Jiang Li was not his match.

He might as well follow Jiang Li and find another place to empty out this human cultivator.

Just like that, the two sides maintained some tacit understanding. One chased while the other fled, flying towards the rather barren region in the Ten Directions Region.

Only in that kind of place would there be no greater demons to occupy it. Only then could they fight without any reservations.

The speed of the man and demon was very fast. Before long, in Jiang Li’s eyes, the underground earth vein ahead visibly became thinner and sparse.

This was reflected in the environment. The plants were shorter and the spiritual qi was thinner. They were not suitable for cultivators to stay in for a long time.

At this moment, a sense of danger assaulted him from behind again, and Jiang Li felt his right foot sink.

Looking back, it was indeed that annoying tail wrapped around his feet again.

The rat demon could not wait.

Ahuge force came, and Jiang Li was unable to continue flying. He was fiercely flung to the ground, creating a huge mark on the ground.

“Kid, let’s see where you can escape to!”

‘The rat demon looked at Jiang Li who was thrown to the ground with an abnormally carefree expression.

However, when he wanted to retract his tail, he discovered that there was a force holding his tail tightly, preventing him from retracting it.

This made the rat demon feel that something was amiss.

Jiang Li had long been annoyed by this mysterious tail.

He had long been prepared to counterattack. When the rat demon wrapped its tail around his ankle, he reached out and grabbed the other party’s tail.

Even when he fell from the sky and created a huge hole in the ground, he did not let go.

The tail in his hand wriggled, trying to break free from his grasp.

As it twisted, poisonous fur that was a hundred times sharper than steel needles wanted to stab into Jiang Li’s palm.

However, the Black Scale Armor that covered his entire body could not be broken by this kind of attack.

The rat demon had a long and powerful tail.

Seeing that he could not pull it back, he turned around and pulled the tail Jiang Li up from the ground.

After raising it to a height of several thousand feet, it smashed fiercely into the ground, repeatedly trying to make Jiang Li let go.

One, two, three. This kind of collision and impact was something that the Black Scale Armor could not completely block. Even Jiang Li felt pain.

Then, spiritual light erupted from his body. When he collided with the ground again, a large number of roots grew out from his body and stabbed into the ground, firmly taking root on the ground.

This time, Jiang Li was not immediately pulled up. Instead, he used the power of the roots to fight with his opponent.

‘The surrounding ground bulged and cracked.

In the air above, a black dot floated in the air. A tail of flesh stretched straight down from his body and was held in Jiang Li’s hand.

The strength of both sides increased.

Countless roots stretched out from under Jiang Li. The roots were intertwined, and the soil and rocks attached to them were forcefully pulled up.

It was as magnificent as the floating islands on a futuristic planet.

Demons were demons after all. Even if they specialized in speed, even if they did not look big, their strength would not be weak at this level.

The soil beneath him was pulled up, and Jiang Li spread the roots at an even faster speed. He tied countless roots to the soil and rocks on a larger and deeper layer.

The roots of the Nine Nether Wood could go straight down to the Netherworld to drink water.

His cultivation level naturally had not reached that level, but the speed at which the roots grew underground was not much slower than his Nine Nether escape technique.

Soon, his roots reached a depth of ten thousand feet.

The weight of the soil and rocks connected to it could no longer be calculated.

Unless one really had the strength to move a mountain, it was absolutely impossible to shake such a weight. Even that ox demon might not be able to pull the current Jiang Li, let alone a rat.

“Damn kid, let go! Otherwise, I’ll definitely kill you!”

The rat demon could no longer pull such weight. With a sigh, the floating rocks fell back to the ground, raising dust.

In the dust, both sides could not see each other, but with that grabbed tail, they were naturally not afraid of being unable to find the other party.

The rat demon that called itself the Lord of Thieves retracted its tail, and the distance between the two sides quickly shortened.

Two broken swords that emitted a deathly black aura nailed Jiang Li’s face in the next moment.

It was also covered in poison that could slit the throat.

Unfortunately, it was still unable to break through the Black Scale Armor’s defense. The poison was naturally useless.

“Impossible, there must be a flaw!”

‘The dense rain of swords began to fall on Jiang Li’s body. Every breath he took caused him to suffer more than 300 strikes.

Dense sword blades continuously stabbed towards Jiang Li’s body, trying to find any weakness in the Black Scale Armor.

However, Jiang Li did not counterattack. He only held the other party’s tail tightly and was unwilling to let go.

It was not until he tied the tail around his waist that countless roots bound it tightly.

He had finally seized this opportunity. Once he let go, with this rat’s speed, as long as he was vigilant, he would never have such a chance again.

‘When he attacked empty-handed, his body had already suffered countless hits.

If not for the Black Scale Armor, Jiang Li would have probably been chopped into pieces long ago.

But now, it was time for him to counterattack.

Amidst the dense sword rain, Jiang Li’s heavy fist broke through the attack and hammered his opponent.

The rat demon’s two spirit eyes almost jumped out of its eye sockets. It was sent flying a thousand feet away and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

It was hard to imagine why a human cultivator who did not seem to have a high cultivation level had such power.

His poisonous dagger stabbed Jiang Li a few thousand times, but it did not injure him even once.

Instead, he was punched by Jiang Li, and his eyes bulged out as he spat out acid.

A direct connection of fist to flesh. This was the joy of body cultivators.

Jiang Li did not pursue it. Once he cut off the roots beneath his feet, he would definitely be flung into the sky by the other party’s tail. At that time, he would fall into a disadvantage again.

‘The most important thing now was to fight steadily and not make any mistakes.

He grabbed the stretched tail with both hands and continued to wrap it around his waist.

The rat demon on the other side noticed that something was wrong and wanted to stop Jiang Li.

However, his strength was slightly weaker than Jiang Li’s. Even though he was also working hard to resist, his tail was still pulled over by brute force in circles.

Once the tail was wrapped around the waist, it would be tied to death with fine Nine Nether roots. Even if the rat demon wanted to go around it, it was useless.

“Kid! Don’t go too far!”

The rat demon rushed up again and harassed Jiang Li repeatedly, trying to destroy the roots at his feet.

However, as long as the other party did not fight Jiang Li head-on, Jiang Li would firmly pull his tail.

Once he was close enough, he decisively used a combination punch to make it difficult for the other party to withstand.

Jiang Li’s defense was in an invincible position, and his strength was sufficient to suppress his opponent.

After holding onto the other party and being unable to escape, the rat demon fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Under all kinds of obstructions, he could not help but endure Alliance Leader Jiang’s fists several times.

The rat demon’s tail could be stretched very long, but there was a limit to how long it could be. 1,200 feet was his limit.

After being sent flying by Jiang Li more than ten times, the injuries on his body were quite light.

However, the rat demons tail had already been forced to extend to the limit.

Moreover, he was already only 30m away from Jiang Li.

To existences of their level, this distance was simply within reach.

Below Jiang Li’s waist, he had already been wrapped by the tail several times, becoming extremely bloated.

If its tail was wrapped around its body a few more times, the rat demon would not even have room to dodge or deflect the force.

Wouldn’t he be beaten to death?

‘The rat demon that called itself the Lord of Thieves could no longer maintain its calm and began to beg Jiang Li for mercy.

However, his ruthless words earlier were too much. Now, Jiang Li completely ignored him, and the distance was still closing inch by inch.

In the end, the rat demon had no choice but to combine the two short swords into a pair of scissors.

No matter what, his life was the most important.

He made up his mind and cut his tail..
