But reality turned out to be different from what he expected—his opponent was still able to match his speed. What astonished him was that no matter how much he increased his inner strength, the opponent seemed completely unaffected.“Impossible, he’s still so young!” he thought to himself, after the moonlight revealed the young man's face.Li Jie finally poured more inner strength into his movements to increase his speed. Gradually, he began to push back the man, who kept retreating.“How can someone that young be faster than me?” the man kept muttering in his heart. He still couldn’t believe the youth’s abilities.Without either of them realizing, their duel drew closer to where Jian Ying was waiting. The beautiful girl could only watch the fight while holding Ireng’s reins tightly.“Dragon Claw Splits the Earth!” shouted Li Jie as he leapt high and thrust his claw str

Although a hint of fear lingered in his mind, Li Jie refused to show it. He kept smiling broadly as if unbothered, which made Qiao Mo raise an eyebrow in slight surprise.The handsome young man shot forward, leaving the place in a flash. “Follow me!” he shouted.Qiao Mo gave a thin smile before her body suddenly vanished and reappeared right in front of the handsome youth.Instantly, Li Jie stopped in his tracks, stunned to find his opponent already in front of him. He swallowed hard, frightened by the speed of the demon he was about to face.“If I use Demon Fire Energy, it might be useless,” he muttered. He thought that the only way to confront the demon before him was by using the divine power within his body.Seeing the young man's expression shift, a mocking smile formed on Qiao Mo’s lips. “You don’t seem very confident in your power, boy. Use that demon energy inside your body! At least you’ll be able to resist a little... though you’ll still die in the end, hahahaha!”Li Jie sha

Li Jie gave a faint smile, then slightly pursed his lips in mockery."Enough talking. Prove that big mouth of yours!"Qiao Zu’s face turned crimson with anger at Li Jie’s provocation. His status as the second deputy commander of the Demon army seemed worthless in front of the handsome young man. He let out a loud snort before suddenly vanishing from sight.Had Li Jie still been using Demon energy like in his battle against Qiao Mo, he certainly wouldn't have been able to match Qiao Zu’s speed. But this time the situation was different—he was already channeling Divine power, so Qiao Zu’s speed was no longer a problem for him.With agile movements, the handsome youth dodged the powerful punch aimed at his chest. He sidestepped swiftly, planting his foot as a pivot to leap away just as Qiao Zu’s follow-up strike targeted his right side.While still airborne, Li Jie launched a counterattack aimed directly at his

The white Energy Sword instantly appeared in Li Jie’s hand, manifesting at his will. A vast surge of power radiated from the sword as it emitted a dazzling light. A rainbow-colored glow shimmered vividly around the blade.Qiao Zu furrowed his brows. He felt certain he had seen that sword in the hands of the leader of the Gods. But why was it now wielded by this young man? His mind swirled with questions."Perhaps it just looks similar," he told himself. He then slowly spun his fiery chain above his head, gaining speed with each passing moment.A scorching heat spread instantly, turning the valley nestled between two hills into a parched wasteland. The radius of heat widened as the flaming chain spun faster and faster.Qiao Zu grinned, revealing slightly blackened teeth. Suddenly, the fiery chain in his hand shot toward Li Jie with incredible speed. The spiked ball at the end of the chain threatened the young man's body for the first time.The ranged attack wasn’t hard for Li Jie to ev

Li Jie gripped the energy sword tightly. Then he infused it with Divine Power, causing the radiant spectrum of colors it emitted to grow even clearer and more vivid.Qiao Zu could clearly sense the immense energy radiating from the energy sword in the handsome young man’s hand. He knew his life wouldn't last much longer, but this was no time to surrender. All he could do was give it one last effort—either he would die alone or take the young man with him.The flaming chain in his hand began to spin above his head. Gradually, it moved faster and larger in size.“Infernal Chain!”The spiked ball at the end of the chain suddenly shot forth, accompanied by Qiao Zu’s battle cry.Li Jie watched the incoming spiked ball coldly. He did not react right away, even though the powerful attack was coming straight for him.Just two steps before the spiked ball reached him, Li Jie pushed off the ground and leapt high into the air. Then he slashed the energy sword downward toward Qiao Zu’s body, who
