At the same time, the Primordial Spirit above his head emerged, wielding a sword as well, slashing swiftly.
“Help me!”
The Zheng Demon roared in terror.
The Barbarian Demon’s expression grew grim, unleashing its full power in an attempt to intervene, but it was a step too late.
The Zheng Demon’s Primordial Spirit was annihilated, its Immortal Seal pierced, and it perished on the spot.
The middle-aged warrior didn’t cease his attack; he turned sharply toward the Barbarian Demon, his gaze perilous, charging at it without hesitation.
The Barbarian Demon felt suffocated and turned to flee, gritting its teeth. “Just you wait, I won’t let you live this time!”
It spread its wings and flew at full speed into the distance.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished from Li Hao’s sight.
The middle-aged warrior’s figure also disappeared with it.
Standing on the bronze chariot, Li Hao gazed into the distance. In a single breath’s time, their auras had completely vanished from this Zheng Demon’s domain.
A look of worry appeared in Li Hao’s eyes. He wasn’t sure if the middle-aged warrior would be able to intercept and kill it; if that Ancient Demon managed to spread the news, it would undoubtedly bring great peril.
Li Hao retracted his gaze and looked downward. The ground was littered with Ancient Demon corpses. He swiftly collected them all into his Heaven and Earth Space.
When his gaze fell upon the Zheng Demon’s heavily scarred body, Li Hao noticed the Divine Flame on its corpse had extinguished, and its physical form was severely damaged.
He stored away the corpse as well. This True Immortal Level body—if cooked—who knows how delectable it might be.
Moreover, while cooking it, he could study the structure of the opponent’s body. Next time, it might give him an opportunity to strike and instantly kill such a foe.
After tidying up the battlefield, Li Hao sat atop his bronze chariot, awaiting the return of the middle-aged warrior.
He stared into the distance, his brow tightly furrowed, a worried look in his eyes.
For a long, long time.
Just as Li Hao was wondering whether he should ride his chariot and give chase to investigate, he suddenly noticed a shadow in the sky, speeding toward him.
Soon, the shadow grew larger. Squinting, Li Hao realized it was the middle-aged warrior.
The man was flying back, carrying a massive corpse in his hand—the Barbarian Demon that had fled moments earlier.
Li Hao froze for a moment, then couldn’t help but feel a hint of delight. The middle-aged warrior had actually managed to kill that Barbarian Demon.
To have slain two First Level Ancient Demons consecutively—the warrior’s strength was nothing short of terrifying.
Whoosh!
The middle-aged warrior quickly pierced through the void, arriving before the bronze chariot, and tossed the lifeless corpse of the Barbarian Demon in front of Li Hao. Despite his weariness, his eyes revealed both excitement and a faint smile.
“Luckily, I caught it before it could return to its territory. Finally managed to kill it!”
“So, no other Ancient Demons were alerted?”
Li Hao asked with a tinge of happiness.
The middle-aged warrior nodded. “It seems so.”
He glanced at Li Hao and said with a smile, “Thanks to the Ancient Demon meat you cooked a few days ago, my Primordial Spirit was strengthened, and my strength partially recovered. Otherwise, we might both have perished in this unexpected hard fight.”
“It seems, next time we hunt, we should scout ahead to avoid such surprises.”
A trace of seriousness appeared on Li Hao’s face as he replied.
The middle-aged warrior nodded faintly and said, “That Ancient Demon Leader likely came here for a brief visit. Whatever they discussed remains unknown, but in any case, this mishap was due to our oversight. Next time, I’ll go in and kill first. If the situation seems clear, we can proceed… For now, though, with so many Ancient Demon corpses, we can enjoy a feast. It should make our next battle easier!”
Looking at the lifeless corpse of the Ancient Demon Leader in the warrior’s hands, Li Hao couldn’t help but feel his mouth water slightly.
“That’s true.”
The two tidied up a bit and didn’t return to their previous canyon exit. Instead, they set up camp within this Zheng Demon’s territory.
If other Ancient Demons came, they could promptly eliminate them. Otherwise, if word about this territory’s situation spread, the other demons would undoubtedly realize that the Zheng Demon was already dead.
“Now that this Ancient Demon has been slain, those within its territory will likely notice soon, won’t they?”
Li Hao asked.
The middle-aged warrior nodded faintly and said, “It could be a matter of days, or maybe years. But we must rest quickly. This Barbarian Demon’s territory is only occupied by Second-order and Third Rank Ancient Demons. Even if they get wind of it and come to investigate, we can take the opportunity to eliminate them.”
“Understood.”
Li Hao nodded. A Second-order Ancient Demon was now within his capability to fight alone, let alone with the middle-aged warrior’s intervention—he could practically take out one Ancient Demon after another with ease.
“You rest first. I’ll prepare the food.”
Li Hao said. With the support of the All Heavens Star Vein, he only felt a bit mentally fatigued, but his physical strength was still robust.
The middle-aged warrior licked his lips at the words, smiled, and sat down nearby.
Li Hao didn’t start with the Ancient Demon Leader. Instead, he chose a Second-order Ancient Demon to warm up the meal.
The Ancient Demon Leader’s body was too tough and would require more time to handle.
While Li Hao was cooking, the middle-aged warrior entered the Zheng Demon’s Cave Mansion and soon found some items within.
“Not bad—found a damaged Immortal Artifact. It seems better than that Remnant Blade of yours. Here, take a look.”
The middle-aged warrior tossed a broken sword at Li Hao, missing its hilt with only the front half of the blade intact.
Li Hao then remembered the spoils of battle. His attention had been solely on the Ancient Demon corpses, causing him to forget about these things.
“No completely intact Immortal Artifacts?”
Li Hao asked curiously.
He wasn’t doubting whether the middle-aged warrior had withheld anything, but was simply puzzled. Considering that the Ancient Demon side had seemingly won that battle, it was strange for their Cave Mansion to lack Immortal Artifacts recovered from the battlefield.
The middle-aged warrior shook his head slightly, his expression heavy, and said:
“Haven’t you noticed that these Ancient Demons aren’t carrying any Immortal Artifacts? Back when we first encountered the Ancient Demons and prepared for that war, the Immortal Emperors of the True Realm gave explicit orders to reform all Immortal Artifacts to avoid them falling into the hands of the Ancient Demons and becoming their weapons.”
