Nu Long and Lie Sha were caught off guard by such an unconventional attack, though their armours both activated and defended them automatically. Nu Long’s Qi was of gold by nature, while Lie Sha’s was fire by nature. Lie Sha burnt all of the claws into ashes. Now clawless, the demons were weakened, like a bee without its stinger.
The men grabbed their strength-replenishing pills and ran after Xuanyuan again. Xuanyuan cut a path through the demons using his dagger, this allowed him to replenish his Qi when necessary. In his other hand, he was holding a Crossbow of Dark Currents, which he used to shoot a few bolts towards Nu Long and Lie Sha from time to time. The arrows were filled with evil Qi and poison; they were marginally more deadly than the Crossbow of Explosion. His constant attacks were a nuisance to the men above.
“You damn kid. I’ll kill you!”
“Don’t you run, wait there for me boy!”
Xuanyuan was amused, “But I will get away if you can’t keep chasing me!”
Xuanyuan didn’t pick up the fighting stones on the way. He knew the most precious stones were located among the fifty Yakshas at the centre.
Nu Long and Lie Sha were burning through their Qi to divert all the attacks from Xuanyuan. And of course, Xuanyuan didn’t mind that at all.
The power of the evil Qi surged once again – just as he was approaching the Yakshas. The Mo creatures that were covered with dark burgundy scales and had wings that were covered in sharp spikes. Their claws were clearly more dangerous than those of the demons. Their strength had reached a hundred and ninety dragons.
The Qi was extremely dense near the Yakshas, the Qi from the stones was allowing them to grow stronger. The Yakshas were provoked by the angry roars coming from a large number of demons. They suddenly spread their wings and flew towards Lie Sha and Nu Long who were midair.
Xuanyuan laughed at the shocked faces of the two men. He quietly snuck towards the fighting stones hidden inside the crater. “Have fun fighting the Yakshas! Hahaha…”
