Chapter 269: Chapter 44: Alone I Push Through Three Thousand Miles (Combined Chapters)_2
However, what disappointed him was that the three-headed snake before him also only possessed the aura of the Three Immortal Realms.
It was not a Demon King.
“Came looking for a warm-up,” Li Hao said.
“?”
“?”
“?”
All three heads of the snake showed puzzled expressions.
Was this human prodigy out of his mind?
They were eighteen hundred miles from Heavenly Gate Pass, and their territory surrounded him on all sides; even if this youth cried for help, it would be too late.
Others came to slay demons, yet he came to practice his skills?
“Big brother, then we must really treat our guest well,” one head said.
“We know the way of hospitality,” the other head added with a sly smirk.
The two snake heads laughed in a bizarre manner.
The large central head stared at Li Hao, hissing a single word: “Attack!”
In an instant, the numerous demons on the rock walls screeched as they pounced towards Li Hao as if given a command.
Various sharp and strange laughter rang out as they swarmed towards Li Hao like a hive.
But the next moment, the crisp sound of a dragon’s chant filled the air, followed by a burst of golden light that circled around swiftly.
The many demons lunging at Li Hao became as though frozen in mid-air, then their bodies exploded in unison, their Divine Souls annihilated along with them.
In their number were several demons from the Heavenly Human Realm, indistinguishable from lesser demons, all pierced through by a single sword strike.
Demon blood splashed in an instant, and at the same time, Li Hao raised his hand, pointing two fingers like a sword, slashing towards the three-headed Red Python.
A tremendous Sword Qi lashed out, and the three heads of the creature all showed shock and fury at the same time.
The lava beneath it churned, rolling towards Li Hao like fiery seas.
However, the onrushing sea of fiery lava, with wave-like momentum, found itself frozen in mid-air, immobilized by Li Hao’s power of object control.
Simultaneously, as the Sword Qi cleaved, it left a horrifying gash on the red scales of its abdomen.
“What kind of attack is this!” one head cried out.
“It hurts!” the other added.
“My Red Flame Treasure Body was actually breached just like that?”
The two heads screamed in agony.
The large central head looked pained as it finally understood why this youth had dared to come here alone.
It was near the peak of the Three Immortals Peak, just below the Demon King, or rather, it was already half a step into the Demon King’s realm, but it had been struggling to find its own Dao heart.
But at this moment, in front of this youth, it sensed the whiff of death.
“Merge the three!” the large head roared.
Its body twisted as it burst out from the magma, with the two screaming heads rapidly sinking into its snake body.
“Big brother, you must kill him for us!”
“Big brother, it’s all up to you now!”
The two heads let out furious roars as they sank and disappeared.
The original three-headed snake turned into a single-headed one, but its aura surged dramatically, spewing out a mouthful of crimson mist. Its tail whipped violently, lashing towards Li Hao.
Li Hao stood unmoving, but the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation suddenly revealed itself behind him.
With a loud thump, the gigantic arms of the Law Manifestation fiercely wrapped around the thrashing serpent’s tail, blocking the force that seemed as heavy as ten thousand jun. Then, with a sudden pull, it swung the Red Python into the air.
“You…”
The Three Immortals’ leader watched the young man in stunned horror.
…
Outside the cave, a cold breeze brushed past gently.
Feng Boping leaned against a large rock, his snacks finished, he brushed the crumbs from his hands. Suddenly sensing something, he turned to look towards the entrance of the cave.
He saw Li Hao, sword in hand, floating out, his clothes unblemished by blood, as if he had just strolled through a scenic spot.
“That was fast?”
Feng Boping was somewhat surprised. Although he had anticipated that Li Hao could handle it, it all seemed too easy.
“Too weak.”
Li Hao shook his head slightly with some regret; just the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation alone was enough to easily subdue the Serpent Demon.
He had even given his opponent the chance to unleash some ancient Demon King’s bloodline. Yet, it turned out to be lackluster, providing little increase in strength.
“…”
Feng Boping was left speechless. Was the creature from inside, which was at the Three Immortals’ Peak and at the same realm as Li Hao, actually crushed?
He gave a wry smile thinking back to how Li Hao, in the Heavenly Human Realm, had killed the Demon King in that strange state; it no longer seemed unusual.
“What’s next?”
“Continue.”
“Alright.”
The two of them immediately turned into two gusts of wind and left the mountaintop.
The depths of the Lava Cave had turned into a hellish blood pool, where all the Demons were slaughtered.
The Three Immortals’ colossal body was chopped into sections, its blood extinguishing the magma, its once imposing gigantic serpent head flattened, brains oozing out, leaving behind only one intact eyeball.
But the luster in that eyeball dimmed and vanished, leaving only a faint glow that was flickering out.
“Monster…”
Its last trace of Divine Soul slowly sank into oblivion.
…
Peakless Mountain.
The mountain was steep, its sharp peaks like blades piercing the sky.
Named Peakless not because of itself but because all other mountains paled in comparison to its presence.
Atop the mountain, two mighty figures were eating and drinking heartily, surrounded by trees on which many skins hung like ragged cloth, belonging to both the Human Race and Demons.
The place was thick with the smell of blood, littered with remains and bones everywhere.
“Yuan, that old geezer from the Northern Cold Country, has sent us another batch of meat, truly succulent,” one said.
“Brother, don’t be in such a rush to eat; let’s play with it first. The delicate skin and tender flesh of the Human Race have a unique flavor.”
“Haha, indeed.”
They guzzled their liquor, casually tearing off a snowy-white leg and relishing their meal.
Suddenly, a howling sound swept through.
“Hmm? What’s this thing daring to intrude upon our territory?”
Both looked up at the same time, only to see a young man dressed in splendid garments, flying through the air.
“Human?”
