Chapter 1297: Chapter 1268: Uneasy Elves
The demon of the Demon Clan speaking to Li Chen was the strongest Roar-level demon in the group.
The reason he did not attack directly but chose to speak calmly with Li Chen was because this Roar-level demon could sense Li Chen’s uncovered aura at the moment.
Roar-level!
The same Roar-level as him!
When Li Chen went to the mountains to cultivate with the Academy of Paradise’s students, he also found a place to go into closed-door cultivation and successfully broke through to the Roar-level.
This is also why he was unfazed by the strong lineup of the Demon Clan’s group.
When he was still at the Roaring Level, he could fight two Roar-level Martial Artists to a standstill one on two, and now that he had reached the Roar-level, why would he fear a demon of the same level?
Sorry, the other lower-level demons were completely disregarded by him.
“Human, helping the Elf Race is seeking your own doom!” the raspy-voiced demon slowly spoke.
Obviously, he had also noticed the Elves fleeing not far away.
However, he did not act rashly because he knew very well that the biggest trouble now was still the human in front of him.
If he couldn’t deal with him, there was no way to chase those fleeing elves.
And once he dealt with this human, no matter where those elves ran, they wouldn’t escape his grasp.
“Whether it’s doom is not up to you,” Li Chen shook his head, sizing up a few demons, “Judging by your strength, you should have some status in the Demon Clan, right?”
“Can you tell me, what does your king really want to do?” Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.
Although he knew the Demon Clan was indeed very strong, otherwise they would not dare to launch war across the entire minor world, Li Chen still couldn’t figure out the Demon Clan’s intentions in doing so.
For the right to conquer? At such a level of power, how could they still have such low-level desires?
Or for something else?
“Human, you’re asking too much, plus, I’m the one asking you questions now.”
“Alright then, what’s your name?” Li Chen casually asked.
“My name is Glalag…” The demon just finished saying and immediately realized, “Human, are you playing with me?”
“No, just teasing you a bit.” Li Chen said with a light smile.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the expressions of the other demons beside Glalag turned icy.
And Glalag, with a frosty face, sensing the aura of the Elves who had already escaped far away, sneered, “Do you really think that by stalling for time, these elves can truly escape?”
“Of course not.” Li Chen shook his head.
Just as Li Chen shook his head, a demon powerhouse beside Glalag suddenly struck. A long whip covered with barbs wrapped towards Li Chen’s neck in the first moment.
“I’m stalling for time just to let them get a little farther away.” Li Chen gently waved two fingers, a dazzling red light flashed by, and a crisp collision sound came from the long whip.
“Clang!!”
The demon holding the long whip had his palm’s tiger’s mouth instantly split open, and his entire body was sent flying several steps back in mid-air, his face turning a bit pale.
“And I let them go farther just for fear of accidentally hurting them.” Li Chen stretched out his hand towards Glalag, “Of course, don’t misunderstand, I’m not afraid of you accidentally hurting them, I’m afraid of accidentally hurting them myself.”
With a smile, Li Chen slowly drew out the Blood Demon Blade, which had been silent for a while, from his waist.
“Old buddy, wake up, it’s meal time.”
…
Odelia was leading a group of elves in a mad dash to escape the forest’s range.
With her strength, she could have easily left the forest in the shortest time, but after all, she had to take care of the other members of her tribe, which forced her to slow down to a speed that her tribesmen could keep up with.
Of course, Odelia did not lose her vigilance during the sprint.
As Li Chen said, she was also worried about encountering other demon clan blockades on her way.
What she didn’t expect was that the Demon Clan had sent so many strong attackers to ambush them this time.
Mind you, the real core of the Elf Tribe had already been relocated. She believed the Demon Clan also knew this, and the current ‘Elf Forest’ had only become an ordinary Elf outpost.
Even to attack such an outpost, the Demon Clan was willing to spend so much effort, which even Odelia found hard to believe.
“Huff— Huff—”
After what seemed an extremely long sprint to Odelia, the elves finally escaped from this ‘Elf Forest.’
Their former home, at this time, seemed like Hell, and they couldn’t wait to escape at the first moment.
Because, at this time, there were a few uninvited guests in their ‘home.’
“Boom!!!”
A furious aura erupted in the forest.
In the watchful eyes of Odelia and all the other elves, a gigantic red light lit up deep in the forest, followed by a thunderous, earth-shaking blast.
Odelia couldn’t help but leap into the air.
However, the scene she saw made her gasp.
In the depths of the forest, although not very clear, she saw a patch of trees disappear very abruptly there.
That patch of white within the greenery was so conspicuous.
And that red light hovered in the sky, gradually dissipating.
After the red light dissipated, it was clear the battle wasn’t over because what followed was waves of even more terrifying booms.
Their source of the sound had shifted to the sky.
Evidently, Li Chen and the demon’s battlefield had shifted to the sky.
Not for protecting the environment, but simply because the sky was more spacious, more suited for these terrifying powerhouses to unleash their skills.
Watching for a while, in Odelia’s perception, there were only collisions of terrifying auras, and she couldn’t even observe the details of the battle. Shaking her head, Odelia descended from the sky somewhat dejectedly, and waited quietly with the other elves.
After a long while, an elf couldn’t help but say, “Lord Executioner, why don’t… we leave first.”
At this time, the rumbling from deep within the forest had ceased, and the elves here were becoming uneasy. After all, if Li Chen was alone and the demons won…
“Wait a bit longer!” Odelia shook her head, her gaze firm.
“Alright.” The elf retreated, looking even more uneasy.
After a while, a figure gradually appeared in Odelia’s sight.
The other elves couldn’t help but look a bit terrified.
Yet, in Odelia’s eyes, there was a look of joy.
Because, though not clearly seen, she could sense that the aura of that figure was Li Chen’s!
