Chapter 1297: Chapter 1117: Mockery_2

"Hmm, let’s do it this way."

The others had no objections to this proposal and nodded in agreement.

Soon, the plan was set into motion.

Some members of the Mortal Realm headed to the Changli Mountain Range to battle the devil beasts, while others ventured into the sea to hunt down the rampant water devils that were still establishing their territory.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, Li Zhixuan, and the Moon Serpent, the only three Individual Immortals currently on Mount Wanxian, took turns going out, ensuring that one of them always stayed back on the mountain to protect their home.

For a time, the devil beasts in the Changli Mountain Range were in dire straits, with a large number of Li family members flooding in to hunt these low-level demon beasts.

Among them, the most powerful devil beasts were only of the seventh rank.

This situation arose after the external devil beasts lost their leadership battle and were pushed out of their original territories, leading them to these increasingly spiritually rich lands of recent years.

Thus, for the members of the Li family in the Mortal Realm, this forest became an ideal training ground.

However, it would not be long before the once barren and spirit-poor land of the Changli Mountain Range would transform into rich and fertile Spirit Land!

The devil beasts living within would also see significant cultivation improvements due to the concentrated spiritual energy, preventing external defeated devil beasts from becoming leaders.

But by then, the situation might not be so friendly to the Li family.

At present, however, the devil beasts in the Changli Mountain Range posed no major threat to the Li family.

At the same time.

Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan arrived at the East Sea to search for traces of the immortal realm water devils.

In fact, the process was quite straightforward because after capturing the near-sea areas, they promptly sent various tribes to settle and multiply.

Among these tribes, there was no shortage of Immortal Realm creatures!

Conversely, the two of them had to be careful not to provoke any Realm of Human Immortality water devils, otherwise, they would have to flee in embarrassment.

"Jiu, there are three Individual Immortal Realm water devils not far ahead!" Li Zhixuan suddenly spoke up.

Practicing the Life-slaying Laws, Li Zhixuan was highly sensitive to the aura of living beings, making her search quicker and more convenient than Li Zhirui’s.

"You take two, I’ll take one?"

Li Zhirui proposed this as he considered that, after the catastrophe erupted, Zhixuan had yet to confront an Individual Immortal.

"Alright."

Knowing Li Zhirui intentionally let her handle more, Li Zhixuan did not decline, as there were still plenty of Individual Immortal water devils in this sea, and they could return later.

With their plan set, they began to act.

Li Zhirui was the first to strike, using various Divine Power techniques to trap them, leaving no opportunity for escape, while Li Zhixuan temporarily held off three opponents, preventing them from disrupting Li Zhirui’s arrangements.

Though rarely working together, they had impeccable coordination, achieving their trapping goal in less than half an hour.

"Jiu, that water devil is yours."

With that, Li Zhixuan drove two of the early-stage Individual Immortal water devils together, separating them from the mid-stage one.

The Mysterious Sword in her hand seemed like an extension of her body, moving without the slightest hesitation. Her swordsmanship was not intricate; each move was basic but extremely lethal, leaving no flaw exposed.

As the battle started, the two water devils quickly got injured, their wounds fine and oozing blood, but no matter what mystical abilities they used, they couldn’t heal them.

This was because Li Zhixuan’s Mysterious Sword attacks carried Evil Qi and Killing Aura, and she had integrated Asura Swordsmanship methods, also lending some traits, making her inflicted wounds notoriously difficult to heal!

Frightened and demoralized, the two water devils never expected to be relentlessly suppressed by a mere cultivator, with no hope in sight!

Let alone turning the tide, they weren’t confident about escaping with their lives.

In their despair over their fate, they failed to notice Li Zhixuan’s sudden appearance behind them, unleashing a red-black Sword Light meant to cleave them in half.

Yet, unexpectedly, they had life-saving Spiritual Objects that blocked this fatal strike.

"Please spare me, I am willing to serve you as a steed!"

One of the water devils pleaded.

"Coward! How could a coward like you be born into the Tiger Eye Dragon Fish clan!"

The other water devil looked on in disbelief, its eyes aflame with rage, seemingly wanting to kill it right away.

"Stand up! Our Tiger Eye Dragon Fish clan never begs an enemy for mercy. If death comes, we face it standing!"

Li Zhixuan watched this spectacle with a cold expression, finding it utterly dull. Whether a pretense or genuine, she had only one end goal: they all must die!

"Slash!"

A clear voice rang out, and the Mysterious Sword responded, cutting down the water devil begging on its knees.

Even in death, its face was etched with fear and reluctance.

"You’ve killed Hu Na, now you’ll kill me and Hu Song as well; our Tiger Eye Dragon Fish clan will never let you go!" the remaining water devil threatened, eyes filled with intense hatred.

"Use all your skills if you must! Such threats mean nothing to me."

Disappointed, Li Zhixuan shook her head. What was the point of all this talk? Why not just have a good fight?

Unfortunately, this water devil’s strength was unremarkable, even fighting desperately left gaps clear to her.

Not wanting to waste more time, Li Zhixuan promptly unleashed her lethal move.

Dozens of Sword Lights slashed from all directions, offering no chance of escape, and it was slain within them!

Feeling somewhat unsatisfied, Li Zhixuan shook her head, beckoned with her hand, and collected the two water devil corpses, valuable Spiritual Objects.

Their flesh was edible, scales used for crafting Magical Treasures, and the Demon Core was particularly precious. If its impurities and original aura could be purified, it would make an excellent mana-restoring Spiritual Object.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield.

Li Zhirui faced a mid-stage Individual Immortal water devil with a calm demeanor.

On the other hand, the water devil named Hu Song appeared tense and unsettled, as if confronting an existential threat.

"When did water devils become so timid?"

Li Zhirui remarked in surprise, observing Hu Song’s cautious defense without taking the initiative, deciding not to prolong the stalemate, he summoned several towering giant trees to smash at it.

Simultaneously, numerous Spirit Vines appeared around it, entangling it tightly, denying any opportunity to escape.

However, faced with this mortal threat, Hu Song did erupt, but opted to sever the Spirit Vines’ hold and dodge instead of resisting.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, Hu Song’s evasion failed; those giant trees seemed aware of its presence, immediately altering direction to strike where it landed.

Having just touched down, Hu Song had no strength left for another dodge, forcing it to muster all its energy to withstand the blow.

Yet even so, it was knocked back, as if struck by lightning, spitting blood from its mouth, its face drained of color.

For Li Zhirui, who had mastered a Minor Thousand World, his Divine Power could now integrate various Laws.

Though these Laws were still fragmented and his mastery lackluster, as the developer and sovereign of the Minor Thousand World, drawing power from it was feasible.

But he had to use it sparingly, unable to extract all the fragmented Laws or too much at once, lest his world suffer damage.

Thus his attacks were full of unpredictability, difficult to foresee which type of Law might be fused within seemingly ordinary Water-Wood Mystical Abilities.

For instance, the Spirit Vines and giant trees entrapping it housed the Sturdy Principle, and his recent attack incorporated the Force Principle.

"Are you really a mid-stage Individual Immortal? Why is your strength so weak?" Li Zhirui curiously asked.
