How can an ordinary person resist demons?
The people outside the Map of Rivers and Mountains were unaware, and now most of them were pessimistic.
They had already prepared themselves for being eliminated in the first round when the first encounter with the top of the Qianlong List ended with them being carried away, and even before the first round of disasters had descended.
Little Li the Blacksmith himself was also unaware, only knowing that those celestial beings born in the City of Heaven could summon wind and rain, cause earthquakes, and were extremely powerful with just a wave of their hands.
He also knew that those who obtained incredible powers in the Underground City could similarly counter them with their own means.
Their methods seemed to be through imitating the demons, thus mastering a certain power, called… martial arts?
Unfortunately, he hadn’t practiced martial arts; besides blacksmithing, all he knew was…
“Oi!”
A small ‘stone’ flew out and hit the face of the human-snake, which instinctively reached out.
But it found that the ‘stone’ melted away upon contact, and it smelled awful.
This wasn’t a stone, but cow dung!
“Come over here!”
The little figure holding the hammer beckoned to it with its finger.
Shang Wu laughed outside, pointing at Little Li inside and said, “Haha, he has forgotten his past, but not the essence of what I taught him. Indeed, he is my precious disciple!”
Everyone silently moved further away from her.
Who the hell taught this stuff!
And so what?
“I thought Young Hero Li had some support, but it turned out to be… well, this?”
“Cough, but despite that, he is indeed righteous and courageous. Even as a weakling, he dares to step forward. This person can be trusted, and if he truly steps up, though it might not look elegant, it can still be considered… a gentleman?”
“A gentleman? He’s about to become a martyr!”
“That human-snake got infuriated by him!”
In the light of the Map of Rivers and Mountains.
Little Li the Blacksmith, who was just praised for his courage, threw cow dung and ran away.
After confirming the gaze, he realized he couldn’t defeat the demon.
He fled!
It chased!
The smart Little Li, seeing the opponent’s large form, akin to a small house, chose to run into the nearby forest.
Sss—
The terrain in the forest was complex.
But Li Mo clearly heard the sound of the snake’s tail dragging, getting closer!
He looked back and saw the human-snake dragging its tail, moving at an incredibly fast speed through the forest, its agility far exceeding its massive size!
This meant that in another seven or eight breaths, he would be caught!
“Why is it so agile?”
“He seems to be gliding in a peculiar way, treating the mountainous terrain like waves, walking on water… If the snake tail were replaced with human legs, could it achieve this?”
As Little Li ran, he began to ponder deeply.
He replayed every move of the human-snake in his mind, imagining his legs as a tail.
Not just his legs, but his upper body also swayed rhythmically.
He seemed to have quite a talent in the aspect of boxing, initially awkward, but after a few breaths, it became coordinated, greatly increasing his escape speed!
“What is he doing?”
“He seems to be imitating the human-snake, creating a martial art!”
“It already has the shadow of the Snake Form Fist. This type of creature, the human-snake, has long disappeared in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. If Young Hero Li could create a Snake Form Fist based on it, it would be highly valuable for research!”
“Is it possible to do this right before the battle?”
“Hold on! What’s happening here!”
“Young Hero Li… has also turned into a human-snake?!”
In the scene.
Little Li the Blacksmith suddenly transformed into the subject of research. As he learned, his legs underwent a transformation, turning into a tail.
A force within him surged, a primordial power that was not his own, very strong.
No.
Whose martial art is trained this way!?
“Is this the ability of humans in the Underground City to resist demons?”
“I never thought I had a talent for martial arts!”
Li Mo felt a surge of joy in his heart as a human-snake, stopping and no longer running.
Now both were human-snakes, the opponent wielding two weapons, a bone fork and a stone hammer.
Little Li held a hammer in his right hand and a scythe in his left.
Seeing his weapons, not only did a primordial power surge within him, but an inexplicable confidence of victory also rose in his heart!
Though he didn’t know where it came from, but…
The advantage is mine!
Little Li the human-snake charged forward, engaging the human-snake demon in fierce combat. The trees fell, the ground rolled, and the mountains crumbled.
At first, he was at a disadvantage, unaccustomed to his new body.
But through continuous imitation, he gradually mastered his own advantages.
He seemed to have a natural talent for this, as if he had faced countless stronger opponents countless times before, making it seem like second nature.
Gradually, even though he was weaker in strength, he began to gain the upper hand.
The wounds on the opponent grew more numerous, green bl**d spilling everywhere, and its movements became increasingly sluggish…
“Roar!”
It suddenly let out a roar audible for miles around.
“Bad!”
Little Li the Blacksmith sensed a warning, realizing that the opponent was not playing fair, calling for help.
Escaping the opponent was unlikely, as it would keep pursuing him.
The only plan was to k*ll quickly and then flee!
“Roar! Roar! Ugh…”
The human-snake demon, with a cruel smile, looked at Li Mo as if at prey.
But before it could roar twice, something familiar was thrown into its mouth, blocking its throat.
Indeed.
If there were no unexpected occurrences, it was still cow dung.
d*mn, how many cows are there in this village?! I want to k*ll this strange human a thousand times over and still not feel satisfied!
The demon, with low intelligence, only instinctively called for help, and before the companion arrived, it continued fighting Li Mo.
At this moment, Li Mo’s strength was growing stronger, the fire in his eyes burning brighter!
It knew it was no match.
Finally, the scythe severed an arm covered in scales, and the forging hammer smashed its head.
Buzz—
A strange rumbling sound.
Li Mo transformed back into a human.
Worse yet, the martial arts he had cultivated consumed a great deal of energy. He hadn’t felt it during the intense battle, but now, as time passed, the weakness washed over him like a tide.
He couldn’t even run.
Has the trial of the top of the Qianlong List come to an end?
Frankly speaking, although he had descended into the City of Heaven,
given his starting point, achieving this was already quite difficult. Even if he was eliminated, no one would underestimate him.
Four dark shadows approached from different directions.
“Was it you… who killed it?”
They were like terrifying shadows, as if houses, blocking the sunlight, making Li Mo appear small and weak compared to them.
Because of this, the other four demons were curious how this human managed it.
But they were only curious; they would only think that eating this human would greatly enhance their bloodline.
Four pairs of lantern-sized, cruel eyes focused on him.
Backed against a tree, Li Mo himself felt hopeless.
“If they all come to me, at least the elders and villagers have time to run.”
“Unfortunately, the martial arts I learned won’t have a chance to pass on to them, allowing them to defend themselves…”
Thoughts ended.
Pfft!!
Hot, red bl**d splattered.
Li Mo felt no pain, touching his face, the stench unbearable, not his own.
He was stunned, lifting his head.
But he saw standing in the air, a figure as cold and divine as a deity, her dress fluttering, as if the world didn’t exist, a pure moon.
She was looking at him with her incomparably beautiful eyes.
Though her expression was cold and holy, the kind that made one dare not raise their head, she looked at him with a hint of gentleness.
So beautiful…
Who is she?
