Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

The White Ape Demon Saint's laughter abruptly stopped, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"Kid, you have no idea how arrogant you are!"

With a roar, the white ape suddenly pulled out its black iron rod, its massive body swaying as it charged towards Li Yuan like a moving mountain.

Its speed was astonishing; it reached the city wall in the blink of an eye.

Li Yuan naturally wouldn't let him land on the city wall, so he suddenly leaped into the air and went to meet him.

The White Ape Demon Saint leaped high into the air with a light tap of his toes, crashing down on Li Yuan like a meteorite. His black iron rod, imbued with immense power, slammed down on Li Yuan's head.

If this blow lands squarely, it could smash not only a person, but even a mountain into pieces.

Li Yuan's pupils contracted slightly. The white ape was known for its speed, but it was also strong and had thick skin, making it a formidable opponent and the biggest challenge he had faced since reaching the Qi Condensation Realm.

"Flame Silence!"

He did not back down and used all his strength from the start. Even though his opponent's cultivation level had dropped, he was still far superior to him. Li Yuan was tough on the outside, but he was extremely cautious on the inside.

Flames swirled, and a gigantic figure emerged, revealing a contemptuous smile to the White Ape Demon Saint.

"clang!!"

A deafening roar resounded, and a powerful aftershock spread outwards. An overwhelming force emanated from the blade, numbing his arm and sending him sliding backward several meters. He managed to regain his footing by stepping on the city wall.

Seeing that the aftershocks were about to spread to the city walls, Li Yuan waved his sleeve and swept away all the chaotic energy to prevent the soldiers from being accidentally injured.

He stood in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the white ape demon saint in front of him, his heart filled with shock.

Such incredible power!

Even though its cultivation level has fallen to the half-step demon saint, its power is still far beyond that of an ordinary demon king.

The white ape demon saint landed on the ground, shattering the bricks beneath its feet. It looked down at Li Yuan, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.

"Huh? You actually managed to catch one of my blows. You must have some skill after all."

Li Yuan looked him straight in the eye and sneered, "Is that all the strength you have? Looks like you really are getting old."

"You brat, you're asking for it!"

The White Ape Demon Saint was furious. How dare this brat insult him like that? He roared and swung his iron rod again, unleashing a furious barrage at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan dared not take the blow head-on again. He had used that attack to gauge his opponent's strength, and now that he had a better understanding of the situation, he would no longer confront him directly.

He used his movement technique to fight against the White Ape Demon Saint, moving as elusive as a ghost. This was a technique he had figured out himself after reaching the Condensation Realm, utilizing the power of time to make his movements strange and unpredictable.

They even had the energy to take a sneak attack with their knife.

The White Ape Demon Saint was always most proud of his speed, but he never expected that Li Yuan could completely crush him in his area of ​​expertise.

Despite possessing astonishing strength, he couldn't even manage to grab a scrap of Li Yuan's clothes, and was instead forced into a state of frantic activity.

As Li Yuan fought, he deliberately moved the battlefield out of the city. Before long, the two of them had left Shule City and entered the vast wilderness.

Meanwhile, the battle below the city was fierce and extraordinary. The defending troops withstood several rounds of attacks from the demon soldiers, and their morale soared.

While directing the battle, Hu Cheng also kept an eye on the fighting in the distance. It seemed that the two were fighting fiercely, but Li Yuan was on the defensive and appeared to be at a disadvantage.

Fifteen minutes later.

The White Ape Demon Saint grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He had initially thought that Li Yuan was at most a mid-stage cultivator in the Condensation Realm, and even if he was stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same realm, he was still not in the Dao Entry Realm.

It's a whole realm of difference; you can crush your opponent and take him down in no time.

But after actually fighting, it discovered that this young man's strength far exceeded its expectations.

Everyone knows that Li Yuan has a level nine talent and can unleash a five-colored divine light during spirit testing, but no one has ever been able to say exactly what he is good at.

Now it seems that this guy is a monster. With his unpredictable and ever-changing movements and seemingly ordinary swordsmanship, he can fight him to a standstill.

The White Ape Demon Saint was anxious. He glanced at the city wall and found that the demon soldiers below were beginning to collapse. Several of his demon kings were entangled by a group of cultivators at the Condensation Realm and could not break free. They were even retreating step by step.

After losing effective command, the demon soldiers became chaotic, yelling and charging forward with little success.

He felt a surge of frustration. He had originally planned to capture Shule today, but now it seemed impossible.

He underestimated Li Yuan, which led to his passive situation.

He looked up into the distance, feeling uneasy. He worried that Li Yuan might be hiding something, otherwise why would he continue to act so arrogantly if he knew he couldn't kill him?

He was naturally suspicious, and upon realizing this, he didn't want to stay a moment longer. He feinted with his spear, forcing Li Yuan back, and then leaped backward to create distance between himself and Li Yuan.

It raised its head, its gaze fixed on Li Yuan, filled with resentment: "Kid, you're lucky today! Don't get cocky, I'll be back!"

"The next time we meet will be the day you die!"

Having uttered these harsh words, it let out a long howl and led the remaining demon soldiers in retreat in the direction they had come from.

Li Yuan didn't move, standing there coldly watching him.

In the battle just now, he had already tested the opponent's strength. If he went all out, his strength and that of the White Ape Demon Saint would be about equal. Killing him would be extremely difficult and would even require paying a huge price.

The situation in Shule City is dire, and the forces outside the city are even more uncertain. No one knows whether another demon emperor is lurking behind the White Ape Demon Saint.

If something happens to him, the demon race will have no scruples and will advance unimpeded, making it difficult for Shule City to defend itself.

My battle with the White Ape Demon Saint today should have had a deterrent effect, and it can hold off these demon soldiers for a short time, relieving the pressure on the Mengchi Protectorate.

From the perspective of the overall situation in Longyou Province, not engaging in a deadly confrontation with the White Ape Demon Saint is the most advantageous option.

Only after the demon soldiers disappeared from sight did the cultivator on guard report: "Report, the demon soldiers have indeed retreated!"

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his figure soaring into the air and landing back on the city wall. His face was somewhat pale; the battle with a demon saint had been extremely taxing, and his Yuan energy was almost completely depleted. If it weren't for the support of the power of the stars, he probably wouldn't have been a match for him.

Hu Cheng strode over, grabbed his hand, and burst into laughter.

"Brother Li, I can't believe you actually held on, hahaha..."

Although there were rumors that Li Yuan had participated in the siege of Lü Ming, who had entered the Dao Realm, it was said that he was the number one person in the Ningyuan Realm and could fight against people of higher levels.

But as a cultivator, Hu Cheng naturally understood how big the difference was between the Condensation Realm and the Dao Entry Realm, so he took these rumors with a grain of salt and didn't really believe them.

Today, Li Yuan was fighting the White Ape Demon Saint alone. He was constantly on edge, keeping a close eye on the situation and ready to step in and provide support at any moment.

But the result was completely unexpected; Li Yuan actually managed to withstand the attack of a demon saint.

It's truly unbelievable.

On the city wall, the defending soldiers erupted in a deafening cheer.

"Long live the Great Tang Dynasty!"

"May the Demon Suppression Division be mighty!"

"Our human race will prevail!"

They brandished their weapons, celebrating their hard-won victory and basking in immense joy.

The gloomy atmosphere of the past few days has been swept away.

Hu Cheng patted Li Yuan on the shoulder: "Come on, let's celebrate, bro!"
