Chapter 1766: Chapter 826: The Demon King’s Trial

Seeing Yan Li wavering, Little Jiu Nian, holding Princess Minqing, took advantage of her inattention to wet her finger with a bit of spittle, rubbed her eyes, and instantly appeared pitiful with red eyes and nose.

"Grandma, that South Nether Emperor turned Daddy into a stele and ordered people to torture him with mutant fire. Daddy is pitiful, Jiu Nian is also pitiful. If Daddy dies, Jiu Nian will have no Daddy in the future." Princess Minqing, seeing her beloved grandson’s appearance and thinking about being separated from her son for hundreds of years, with Yan Jiu being harmed by Zhan Hen.

Princess Minqing couldn’t help but wipe away her tears, choking up.

"Old Ghost, didn’t you hear? Back then, how did we help the Zhan Clan conquer the kingdom? And now, how do they treat us? Zhan Hen is treacherous and cunning, not a good ruler. If the Demon World falls into his hands, it will never see peace."

Yan Li was also feeling troubled and restless.

He couldn’t help but have resentful energy, especially as the South Nether Clan Leader Xi Zhong even wanted to kill Yan Jiu earlier.

If he hadn’t arrived in time, Yan Jiu would have... This undoubtedly angered Yan Li.

In Yan Li’s view, his son, no matter how useless, is still his responsibility, not anyone else’s to judge.

The reason why Zhan Hen hasn’t acted against the Yan Clan over the years is largely because of the Yan Department’s bravery and combativeness, supporting most of South Nether City’s defense, and is the only army besides the War Wolf Army that can rival the Beiyu Palace’s Chi Prison Army.

But if Beiyu Palace is truly wiped out, the rabbit dies when the hound is done hunting, and as the South Nether Ancient Clan continues to expand, the fate of the Yan Clan is already foreseeable.

"Enough, you don’t need to provoke me here, I was leading troops into battle before you were even born. Don’t blame me for not giving a chance, if you can take three moves from me, I’ll believe you can protect Little Jiu Nian and let you enter Qianyu City. But I have to say upfront, I won’t hold back."

Yan Li also wanted to see what capabilities a mere Small Divine Power Realm Martial Artist from the Human Clan has to subdue the Divine Hidden Fire.

"Old Ghost, you’re too harsh, how can a little girl possibly withstand your three moves?"

Princess Minqing looked worried.

"Exactly."

Little Jiu Nian muttered.

"Three moves then."

Ye Lingyue also knew this was their last chance.

Although she didn’t know Yan Li’s true strength, he was an old Demon King, his power must not be underestimated.

Yan Li and Ye Lingyue immediately formed the military camp, the two picked a vacant area and started the duel.

"Please, Demon King, enlighten me."

Ye Lingyue cupped her hands.

"Then I won’t be courteous."

The Demon King Yan Li said with a reserved expression.

He raised his arms, and an immense demonic power surged like a tide.

A loud boom was heard.

A circle of demonic power expanded around the Demon King Yan Li.

The ground quaked slightly, and as Yan Li moved, the demonic power instantly tore through the air, transforming into a gigantic axe.

The axe, as huge as a mountain, swung fiercely towards Ye Lingyue’s top of the skull.

"Heavenly Uprising Slash! This old ghost, truly has no mercy."

Princess Minqing couldn’t help but exclaim, secretly worried for Ye Lingyue.

Yan Li is a Demon King, his power comparable to a strong person in the Early Stage of Great Divine Power Realm from the Human Clan.

He is battle-hardened and doesn’t slack off even though Ye Lingyue is just a Small Divine Power Realm Martial Artist.

The demon art cultivated by Demon King Yan Li is a ferocious style, and the demon axe formed by the Heavenly Uprising Slash is incredibly powerful, cleaving down it can cut a mountain in half.

Comparable to the Divine Power Skills used by Human Clan Demon Hunters, in Ye Lingyue’s eyes, its power is as if Wu Zhong used the Emperor’s Nine Heavens.

Just judging from the momentum, the Emperor’s Nine Heavens used by Wu Zhong was more skillfully executed.

The giant axe came down.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue didn’t dodge.

As the giant axe fell, the air suddenly heated up.

Gray flames abruptly appeared, forming an indestructible fire wall.

The "Wan" characters in the fire wall seemed to emerge and vanish. Despite confronting the awe-inspiring giant axe, they showed no fear and swarmed over.

The fire raged on, and the giant axe was engulfed by the tongues of fire.

The Demon King Yan Li’s eyebrows twitched unexpectedly.

Ye Lingyue gestured, and the gray fire seed carrying the power of the Divine Hidden Fire was absorbed into her hand.

"First move!"

Ye Lingyue’s red lips declared.

The "Wan" character fire formation was spontaneously comprehended by Ye Lingyue after taming the Divine Hidden Fire.

This kind of fire formation, usually hidden and invisible, once erupted, its power is comparable to Divine Power Skills, perfect for dealing with the demon techniques of Demon King Yan Li. Ye Lingyue was merely testing it this time, if fully understood, its power isn’t less than the prohibition set by Xi Zhong earlier.

In an instant, one move was over.

"How did you know I would use this move?"

Yan Li couldn’t help but ask.

This fire formation was indeed an excellent method to counter the Heavenly Uprising Slash.

"I didn’t guess; I just set up the fire formation in advance. This fire formation could attack from afar or defend up close. If the Demon King had engaged in close combat... hmm, it could have been dealt with."

Ye Lingyue shrugged.

Yan Li, listening, felt a sense of fear, almost becoming a roasted offering!

"Hmph, so young yet so scheming. Enough talk, second move."

Originally, Yan Li intended to defeat Ye Lingyue with one move to discourage her, not expecting that using fifty percent of his power, he was countered by her.

Yan Li felt he had lost face.

He sneaked another glance at Little Jiu Nian and Princess Minqing watching not far away, both rejoicing at Ye Lingyue’s safety.

The Demon King Yan Li felt isolated, unnerved in his heart.

A fierce look emerged on Yan Li’s face.

Those familiar with Yan Li knew he was getting serious.

His clothes moved without wind, sleeves rustling as if filled with air.

He opened his palm, demonic power swirling, this time forming not a huge axe but a white elephant.

"All Things Demon Tyrant Palm."

Yan Li struck with a palm, the white elephant raised its long trunk, roaring into the sky, mountains trembled, spread its four legs, and rushed forward.

Wherever the white elephant passed, the ground cracked, countless boulders lifted into the air, smashing towards Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue, having just used the Divine Hidden Fire, found it difficult to use again.

Her eyes narrowed, becoming serious. It was evident that with this move, Demon King Yan Li used seventy percent of his demonic power.

She dared not be careless, Dantian churning, her spiritual power quickly transformed into Primordial Power.

In an instant, the Primordial Power within Ye Lingyue rose rapidly.

Basic Stage of Small Divine Power Realm!

Perfect Small Divine Power Realm!

Peak of Small Divine Power!

Early Stage of Great Divine Power Realm!

Facing the white elephant, the Primordial Power within Ye Lingyue wholly transformed into seventy-two Ghost Needles, only to hear a thunderous crash as needle power clashed with the white elephant.

Ye Lingyue only felt a sweetness in her throat, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
