Da Qing and Xiaoqing possessed considerable strength, but the overwhelming number of demon cultivators proved too much for them, especially as they were also burdened with protecting Li Zhirui. Shortly, they found themselves in a disadvantageous position, struggling desperately and appearing especially disheveled.
"Two second-order Spirit Beasts, what an unexpected delight," the leading demon cultivator laughed wantonly. "It has been a long time since I've tasted the flesh of second-order Spirit Beasts. Today seems to be the perfect opportunity to satisfy our cravings."
"Yes!" the other demon cultivators chorused, their attacks growing increasingly ruthless. After all, this place was a battleground for two major powers, and there was no telling if cultivators might come by. It was better to fight quickly and decisively.
A glint of resolution flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes. Even with his damaged foundation, he could not let Xiaoqing and Da Qing die here with him!
