Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2382 - 2446: Battle with the Drought Demon

This Drought Demon is undoubtedly an Evil Creature. Not to mention anything else, just the evil energy alone can cause death, drive people insane, and even make corpses ferociously bite people. It’s a thorough Evil Creature, and even if this thing is called by the name of another Divine Beast, it won’t change anything.The two had already walked close enough when they discovered a deeper chasm there, and it was a region of underground lava. Although it was two to three hundred meters deep from here, it was genuine lava. Because it was lava, the heavens and earth were illuminated, not filled with evil energy.

Of course, even so, the concentration of evil energy here was nearly thick, inhaling one breath would suck in a large amount of evil energy. Li Yifei really couldn’t understand why a Drought Demon would produce so much evil energy. Could it be specially creating evil energy? Why does this Drought Demon have so much evil energy in its body?

For this reason, he had already shut off his breathing, entering the Turtle Breath State. Even so, the thick evil energy still eroded his skin.

Looking ahead, Li Yifei saw the vague shape of the Drought Demon in the red glow. It was a monster about four to five meters tall. Due to the lava’s illumination and its own evil energy, both were dissolving each other. However, it’s apparent the Drought Demon’s evil energy was prevailing, with the Extreme Yang Qi produced by volcanic lava being overcome.

Not seeing clearly, only observing a rough height, this being resembled a human but from the black aura enveloping it, one can determine it is definitely not human. Li Yifei transmitted, "Do you know its weakness?"

"No!" Flood Dragon responded promptly. In that moment, Flood Dragon had changed. Its body grew to seven or eight meters, resembling an Amazonian Green Anaconda, although slimmer. Li Yifei was slightly surprised, prepared to act at any moment.

"I’ll draw its attention, you get ready to attack!" Flood Dragon said. Receiving Li Yifei’s response, Flood Dragon immediately launched.

So fast, just as Li Yifei’s heart praised, Flood Dragon had already dashed over twenty meters away. Therefore, he quickly moved, gripping the Mohist War Blade, infused with True Qi. As Flood Dragon dashed out, the Drought Demon stopped suddenly, its black aura dissipating slightly. Li Yifei then saw an indescribably large face looking towards him.

This face was as large as a pot lid and round, but with several eyes, multiple mouths, a nose, and ears interspersed among them.

What an ugly face it was! Seeing this face made Li Yifei’s heart skip a beat. He felt there couldn’t be a face uglier than this on Earth. Its eyeballs were different too; some were black, some entirely white, as if... several people were combined into one person. However, it had only two hands and two feet, and likewise was enormously large, like a wild man from a Western movie; four thick limbs, its whole body bound with many iron chains. Some passed directly through its body, others tied it up. Even so, this being still emitted a terrifying aura.

It absolutely cannot be let loose outside; otherwise, it would definitely harm the surroundings.

Drought Demon, Drought Demon, it is synonymous with calamity; it must be eliminated.

Seeing Flood Dragon reappear, several mouths on the Drought Demon roared simultaneously. The sound was extremely unpleasant and infrasonic, harmful to the body. Li Yifei shielded himself with True Qi, enduring a wave, seeing Flood Dragon already release a strong electric current, instantly striking the Drought Demon that couldn’t dodge.

Li Yifei was quick too, taking two steps forward, reducing the distance between them, while performing a move with his hand. The Mohist War Blade suddenly seemed to grow several times in length, fiercely chopping towards the Drought Demon. As they say, great skill may appear to be ordinary, and the heavy sword has no sharp edge. Sometimes when moves reach the pinnacle, they simplify, and when Li Yifei chopped this blade down, not to mention an ordinary person, even a railroad track would probably snap on impact... But given the Flood Dragon’s experience of thick-skinned resistance, Li Yifei wasn’t expecting to kill or injure the Drought Demon with one strike, so he followed with several more consecutive slashes.

"Don’t stop, I can keep electrifying, but be careful not to look at its eyes!" Flood Dragon’s urgent voice resonated in his mind. It had already unleashed two more electric attacks, while Li Yifei slashed over ten times, each strike landing on the defenseless Drought Demon.

It could be said they arrived in an instant, yet sparks flew from each blow, as if Li Yifei’s strikes were hitting hard metal instead of flesh.

Damn, Li Yifei paused; the Mohist War Blade couldn’t damage its body? What should he do? Its body was stronger than the Flood Dragon’s, as the Mohist War Blade didn’t sound like it hit metal when chopping the Flood Dragon, at least leaving a mark or outright creating a wound.

While this being... After landing, Li Yifei, refusing to accept failure, swung the blade at the Drought Demon’s leg. He was already close enough now. Li Yifei had to protect himself from evil energy erosion while deploying his strongest moves.

At the same time, Li Yifei witnessed the Flood Dragon’s temperament. It fought with a reckless abandon, after the electric strategy proved ineffective, it reverted to its old tactic, flying in the air and grabbing the Drought Demon forcefully with its four claws.

The unpleasant roar stopped, and after being attacked for several seconds by Li Yifei and the Flood Dragon, the angry voice of the Drought Demon echoed as a few clumps of black qi flew out from its mouth. Both Li Yifei and the Flood Dragon were very close, but since the Flood Dragon directly lunged at the opponent, it was immediately hit, while Li Yifei, having anticipated it, dodged to the side at once upon seeing the black qi.

"It hurts!" The Flood Dragon cried out in pain as its body flew out, crashing directly into an iron chain, which surprisingly broke upon impact. Although it didn’t fall further, as the chain broke, a metal nail popped out from the Drought Demon, with the broken chain still attached to it.

With a furious roar, the Flood Dragon became agitated, rushing forward again with lightning and bites, while Li Yifei continued his assault, recklessly slashing at the opponent.

Frustrated by the defense of the Drought Demon, Li Yifei unleashed his full power, slashing over forty times. At his current level, even one slash would be enough to cause serious trouble for others. Encountering a strong opponent of the same level, they wouldn’t dare to withstand even one move from Li Yifei, let alone blocking it with their body. Yet slashing at the Drought Demon seemed to have little effect.

"Don’t listen, its defense is astonishing. I can feel it’s getting stronger. We can’t delay; we need to solve it while it’s not yet overwhelmingly powerful, or it will break free from its chains, and then we’ll be in danger!" the Flood Dragon shouted.

At least you’re not confused now, Li Yifei switched to holding the knife with both hands, increasing his power. True Qi surged and infused into both hands. With Splitting the Mountain, Li Yifei swung at the Drought Demon’s head.

All the mouths on the Drought Demon’s face opened wide, and an infrasound roar was emitted. Li Yifei hesitated slightly, but the blade in his hand still ruthlessly swung down.

Bang! Li Yifei felt a tremendous force rebounding from his hand. If he hadn’t gripped the blade tightly, it might have been sent flying by the rebounding force. Even so, Li Yifei’s tiger mouth was cracked, and blood flowed out.

As the fresh blood flowed, the Drought Demon went berserk immediately. Both Li Yifei and the Flood Dragon clearly felt its change. All its eyes turned towards Li Yifei; whether black, white, or blood-red, every eye was fixed on him. All its mouths opened, spewing more pungent and evil qi, and in both Li Yifei’s and the Flood Dragon’s minds, a greedy voice emerged, full of magical allure: "I haven’t tasted blood in ages, such a delicious taste, come to me, let me eat you, become a part of me, and I will be invincible!"

"Bad, don’t listen to its voice, it’s awakened to this extent!" The Flood Dragon shouted, pulling Li Yifei back to reality.

Li Yifei’s eyes appeared dazed, but upon regaining clarity, he realized he almost fell into the Drought Demon’s trap and was nearly drawn in. Upon waking, anger surged through Li Yifei, and he swung his sword, aiming at the Drought Demon’s face. He refused to believe this creature was completely invulnerable.

Its mouths don’t fear cutting? What about the eyes? The eyes are fine too? I don’t believe this evil nonsense; I refuse to believe you’re utterly impervious to wounds.

Li Yifei’s fervor infected the Flood Dragon, who similarly cried out maniacally, exerting all its strength with a frenzy, biting and unleashing bolts of lightning.

"Dammit, you almost struck my head!" Li Yifei jumped back a step, shouting toward the Flood Dragon.

"I know!" The Flood Dragon yelled back, not bothering to turn its head as it grasped at the Drought Demon’s face with its claws. The sound of cutting metal resonated, and Li Yifei even saw sparks flying, but still no injury, leaving the Flood Dragon’s eyes blood-red.

Li Yifei stared dumbfounded; this didn’t seem like a combat style befitting a dragon, or Flood Dragon. It felt more like street thugs in a brawl, but it had some effect because the noise of the Drought Demon changed.

Previously, the attack was infrasound, inaudible to ordinary hearing. This time, one mouth screamed out loud, and the Drought Demon’s voice rang in Li Yifei’s mind: "Damn human, dare to harm me, I’ll eat you, I’ll eat you!"

"Hell, I didn’t even hurt you!" Li Yifei felt unjustly accused, but his hand didn’t stop, unleashing fierce moves continuously.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty moves went down, and finally, the Flood Dragon’s claws proved effective, persistently scratching, successfully leaving two wounds on the Drought Demon’s body.
