Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

These demon-hunting guards were all highly skilled, and the demon wolves were quickly killed, their corpses thrown off the cliff.

"Stay alert, keep moving forward, and reach Lok Long Po to set up camp before sunset."

The procession continued onward.

A pair of eyes were watching their every move from afar.

After traveling for most of the day, the group entered a narrow valley with towering cliffs on both sides. At its narrowest point, it was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

A sliver of sunlight streamed down from above, making the entire valley feel eerie and oppressive.

After passing through this canyon, you will arrive at today's campsite, Longpo.

Suddenly, Liu Hongyan reined in her horse, raised her right hand, and signaled the group to stop.

"What's wrong, Lord Liu?" Shi Yong stepped forward and asked.

Liu Hongyan's eyes swept warily across the mountain walls on both sides. "An ambush!"

"Boom!"

Before he finished speaking, countless boulders rolled down from the cliff tops on both sides, crashing down and instantly sealing off the valley entrance.

Everyone was shocked and quickly surrounded the carriage, protecting Li Yuan in the middle.

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly, a burst of arrogant and unrestrained laughter rang out.

Do you think you can leave here today?

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor appeared on the cliff top, his entire body engulfed in crimson flames, coldly looking down at the valley floor with a ferocious expression.

Behind it, the Powerful Demon Emperor, carrying a giant hammer, had shrunk considerably, and his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at the carriage.

On the other side of the cliff, a shadowy figure, shrouded in dim light, silently watched, like a wild beast poised to pounce.

Liu Hongyan was familiar with the Demon Court's forces and immediately recognized him as Xuan Shang Demon Saint, whose strength was considerable, equivalent to a human expert in the mid-stage of the Dao Realm.

Three demon emperors were dispatched at the same time, which shows that Zhu Yan really thinks highly of Li Yuan.

Liu Hongyan's gaze sharpened, and she drew her longsword from her waist, the tip pointing directly at the cliff top: "Chiyan, are you in such a hurry to die?"

"Sending them to their deaths?"

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Liu Hongyan, do you think you alone can protect that piece of trash?"

Having said that, his face darkened. "Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

It suddenly waved its hand and shouted, "Kill!"

Countless demon soldiers surged out from the mountain walls on both sides of the valley and rushed down to the bottom of the valley, led by two demon kings.

Holding a long sword, Liu Hongyan's red dress fluttered in the mountain wind as she sternly ordered, "Protect the carriage!"

The demon-hunting guards quickly formed a circular formation, protecting the carriage in the center. They drew their long swords and faced the surging demon army.

Wu Yu and Shi Yong exchanged a glance and then went to greet the two demon kings.

In an instant, the canyon was filled with the deafening sounds of battle.

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor leaped from the cliff top like a crimson meteor, carrying a scorching wave of air, and crashed straight into the carriage at the bottom of the valley.

Liu Hongyan leaped up, her sword energy like a rainbow piercing towards the ball of fire.

"boom!"

The two exchanged blows in mid-air, and the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground with a thud, creating a deep crater and scattering debris everywhere.

It straightened up, its gaze piercing through the swirling dust, locking onto the carriage that had remained motionless.

"Li Yuan!"

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor roared with savage laughter, "Let's see where you can run now!"

The carriage remained completely still.

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor sneered, flew forward, and reached out to press against the carriage once more.

A sharp sword beam slashed down, and the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor dodged to the side.

"My beauty, your rival is me!"

The Powerful Demon Emperor charged forward with a loud laugh, his giant hammer flying as he viciously smashed towards Liu Hongyan.

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor turned to the Demon Saint, his tone respectful: "Lord Xuan Shang, this woman is yours now. I'm going to capture that good-for-nothing!"

"Don't worry, I'm here, she can't cause any trouble."

Xuan Shang gave a cold smile and slowly floated down from the top of the cliff. His aura was as deep as an abyss, like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone.

Liu Hongyan had easily dodged the attacks of the Powerful Demon Emperor. Although the man was not fully healed, his momentum was undiminished. With a sinister laugh, he dragged his two giant hammers and attacked Liu Hongyan again.

Liu Hongyan showed no fear. She brandished her longsword, which rang out with a clear and melodious sound. Her sword energy clashed with the giant hammer, and she used the force to leap backward, landing on the other side of the carriage, thus drawing the two demon emperors away from the direction of the carriage.

With a wave of his hand, Xuan Shang Demon Saint sealed off Liu Hongyan's retreat, and together with Ju Li Demon Emperor, they worked seamlessly from the front and the back.

Seeing that Liu Hongyan was entangled, the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor had no more scruples. He strode towards the carriage and lifted the curtain.

Inside the carriage, Li Yuan leaned against a soft couch, his face pale, but he forced himself to remain calm.

Upon seeing the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor, his expression changed slightly. He then gripped the hilt of his sword and sneered, "A defeated general, yet you dare to come seeking death!"

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor did not act rashly. He carefully sensed Li Yuan's aura and, after discovering that Li Yuan was indeed bluffing, let out a sinister laugh.

"Are you asking for death?"

"Let's see who's really asking for it!"

As he spoke, he pressed a palm down on him. Li Yuan's eyes flashed, and he swung his sword at the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor, his blade carrying a sharp edge.

"boom!"

Unable to withstand the immense force, the carriage shattered into pieces. Li Yuan tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Li!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Yu was greatly alarmed. He forcefully forced back the demon king in front of him with a single move and turned back to save him.

"Don't leave!"

The demon king was unwilling to let him go and pounced on him, blocking him with all his might.

Li Yuan looked around in a panic. Liu Hongyan was fighting fiercely with two demon emperors, and they were getting further and further away from the canyon.

Wu Yu and his companion were also entangled with the Demon King and were too busy to help him, so there was no one else available to rescue him.

His eyes darkened, and he suddenly turned around, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed down the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

"Trying to run away?"

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor laughed heartily, his figure transforming into a shooting star as he chased after Li Yuan. With that move just now, he had already tested Li Yuan's true strength; he was indeed severely injured and could no longer even maintain his early-stage Condensation Realm cultivation.

Thinking of the humiliation Li Yuan had brought him, hatred surged in his heart. He deliberately didn't rush to catch up, keeping a few steps away like a cat playing with a mouse, enjoying Li Yuan's disheveled escape.

This damned human has repeatedly humiliated it, making it a laughingstock in the Demon Court. Today, it has finally fallen into its hands, and it should enjoy the process.

Such high-speed flight is extremely taxing on Yuan energy. Soon, Li Yuan became unsteady and began to sway in the air, and his speed noticeably decreased.

"Li Yuan! Aren't you supposed to be a fast runner? Keep running!"

The Crimson Flame Demon Emperor was overjoyed and laughed smugly, "I'll see where you can run to today!"

Li Yuan didn't answer. He gritted his teeth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and picked up his speed again. He kept glancing back, his face extremely ugly.

The two chased and fled, circling the canyon. At first, the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor was just playing around, but every time he got close, Li Yuan would spit out a mouthful of blood and forcefully accelerate.

As time went on, he got really angry. But Li Yuan looked weak, but he was like an unkillable cockroach, very tenacious, and always almost caught up with him, which made him furious.

At this moment, on the battlefield below, Wu Yu and Shi Yong are leading the Demon-Slaying Guards, desperately resisting the demon soldiers surging in from all directions.

Wu Yu cleaved a demon general in two with a single stroke, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Brother Li, hold on! I've already sent out the signal; reinforcements will be here soon!"

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Flame Demon Emperor raised his eyes and looked at the distant horizon. Although it was a thousand miles from Anxi City, it wouldn't take long for a top expert. It seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.
