I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 230

"Greetings Sect Leader, Li Family Leader, the disciples of Imperial Sword Sect and Li Family have already withdrawn from the mountain range." A Martial Venerable reported to Li Shuhua and Yang Tianyu.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Crisis averted.

Finally free from danger.

Although Song Ke was powerful after occupying the mountain, he wouldn't go as far as attacking them in Nansha.

If a great demon like Song Ke really went on a rampage in Nansha, it could truly lead to a war between the two races.

"What should we do next, retreat as well?" One of the Martial Venerables asked.

Hearing this, Li Shuhua and Yang Tianyu exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

Obviously, they were not content to just leave like this.

That fragrance pouch was at least an Emperor Grade, if not higher, treasure. If there was even a sliver of chance to take it back, they didn't want to give up.

Moreover, all who remained now were Martial Venerable experts, so there were fewer restraints if it came to fighting, and it would be relatively easier for them to leave.josei

Of course, most importantly, that terrifying black-robed person had crushed Song Ke's avatar. Although it wouldn't bring fatal harm to Song Ke himself, it would still inflict some damage to his soul, which would surely delay his breakthrough to Sainthood for quite some time.

And this period of time was the greatest opportunity for them.

"Let's go!"

The group of over a dozen Martial Venerable experts flew swiftly through the air.

Soon, the group silently arrived above a gorge.

Below in the gorge, everyone could see countless towering ancient trees, forming such dense vegetation that no sunlight could penetrate.

At the very center of the countless trees stood the mightiest catalpa tree!

And that was Song Ke's true body.

"Everyone, while Song Ke is at a crucial point in his breakthrough to Sainthood, he is unable to use many abilities. Let's go down and seize the fragrance pouch, then leave immediately," Li Shuhua looked below and spoke.

"Remember, don't drag out the fight," Yang Tianyu added.

Everyone nodded.

But just as they were about to take action, the complexions of everyone present changed dramatically.

"What's going on, why is my strength somewhat weaker?"

"Me too, I have the same condition."

"Poison, there is poison in our bodies. Quickly circulate your elemental energy to force out the toxins," Li Shuhua yelled in a hurry, while using his own elemental energy to expel the poison.

Although the poison wasn't lethal, and only suppressed about 30-40% of their cultivation, having something like this happen at such a time was obviously not a good thing.

Just as everyone was wondering, one of them suddenly stepped forward, laughing coldly.

"Hahaha, didn't expect you to discover me so early!"

"Dark Night Demon, it's you?"

Everyone turned their gazes towards the cold laughter, asking solemnly.

"That's right, it's me. You trusted me too much, unknowingly letting me poison you without realizing, how laughable!" Dark Night coldly sneered.

"You bastard!"

"You traitor!"

"Although you are a demon beast, my Imperial Sword Sect has treated you well all these years. How dare you betray us!"

Yang Tianyu cursed angrily, never expecting to be backstabbed by one of their own.

Although Dark Night was a Demon Lord, he had never doubted him. After all, a sect's development relied on drawing in powerful combatants, and by the Demon Lord realm one could take human form, appearing no different from humans on the outside. Moreover, Dark Night did sincerely pledge allegiance at the time, so they naturally wouldn't reject such might.

Yet it turned out people and demons were different after all!

"Hmph, what's the point of saying all this? Just prepare to die!"

Dark Night coldly sneered, not interested in talking further. He then kneeled down facing the gorge reverently and said, "Ancestor Seng, these humans only have 50-60% of their strength left. Please send someone to take care of them!"

"Mm!"

An echoing voice resounded through the gorge.

As his voice fell, over a dozen Demon Lords suddenly flew up, returning to their true forms as they surrounded Li Shuhua and the others, filled with killing intent.

"Retreat!"

Li Shuhua yelled loudly.

The others also understood the gravity of the situation. With their combat strength reduced by 30-40%, they would have no advantage at all fighting like this. And in this situation, it would be completely impossible to obtain the fragrance pouch either.

Li Shuhua and the others swiftly flew away.

"Hmph, where do you think you're fleeing!"

The Demon Lords quickly gave chase, pursuing Li Shuhua and the others.

The situation was very dire for Li Shuhua's group. Originally their cultivation bases were quite close, but with 30-40% suppressed, they were soon caught up by the Demon Lords.

Under such circumstances, Li Shuhua and the others could only be forced to fight.

For a time, over a dozen Martial Venerables and Demon Lords engaged in a heaven-shocking battle.

Initially, Li Shuhua and the others were able to hold their ground by utilizing various means and hidden cards, but as time passed, the effects of the poison slowly gained the upper hand.

Especially the Demon Lords in their true beast forms brought tremendous pressure through their primal combat methods, steadily pushing the humans back.

"Ah!"

Finally, one of the human Martial Venerables fell.

And with the fall of that Martial Venerable, it started a snowball effect. Near the end, some of the human Martial Venerables had to face two or even three opponents with their own cultivation suppressed.

In the end, after over half a day of entanglement, even Li Shuhua and Yang Tianyu were heavily injured and surrounded by the Demon Lords.

"Good work my children."

At this time, on a bizarre looking plant nearby covered in giant thorns almost a man high, a human face condensed and spoke.

Clearly, this was another avatar Song Ke had separated out, manifesting on the plant.

"Greetings, Ancestor Seng!"

The Demon Lords all paid their respects.

"Mm, completely eliminate these humans!"

The face on the tree trunk commanded before closing its eyes, awaiting the final result.

"Humans, kneel down! If you voluntarily stretch your necks out, perhaps we'll leave you whole corpses. Otherwise, we'll cripple your cultivation and use you to feed our children,"

"Right, if you kneel down yourselves, we might let you die more comfortably. Otherwise..."

"Hehe..."

The Demon Lords surrounded Li Shuhua and the others, slowly closing in as they taunted.

"Hmph, don't celebrate too early,"

Yang Tianyu said through gritted teeth.

"Hahaha..."

"You still dare act tough now? Humans truly are laughable!"

A lion-shaped Demon Lord let out cold laughter.

"Let me tell you the truth, no one can save you today..."

But just then, a sudden change occurred!

A small boy suddenly leaped out from behind him.

"Slash!"

As the voice fell, a flash of the blade descended.

The lion Demon Lord's expression froze, before his body was sliced in two and fell to the ground.

Before everyone could react to what had happened, they saw a youth appear behind the small boy, excitedly pointing at the Demon Lords and shouting loudly.

"Hahaha, my disciple, a chance to practice your skills has arrived. There are still over a dozen beasts here, hurry up and fucking slash them!"

"Yes Master."

Excitement flashed in the boy's eyes as he swung the huge blade, chopping and slashing away.

Under the shocked gazes of Li Shuhua and the others, the boy took down those Demon Lords easily in just a few moves!
