Li Hao lifted his gaze towards the starry sky, noticing that the stars over the Frontier Pass were even more transparent and dazzling than inside the city.
The countless stars seemed to be reflected in the young man’s eyes, sparkling with the cold light of celestial bodies.
Li Hao knew that besides comprehending the State of Mind and achieving Spiritual Awakening to enter the Three Immortal Realms, there was still much room for improvement in the Heavenly Human Realm.
For instance, to maximize every realm from the Power Passage Realm to the limits!
For this, he would need numerous Cultivation Techniques, to check for deficiencies by corroborating different techniques and refine his body to perfection.
“My physical strength in the Power Passage Realm has already surpassed one hundred thousand jin, but it seems it hasn’t touched the limit yet; the Strength of the Flesh can still be improved!”
“The Li Family’s Body Refining Techniques are not abundant; perhaps these Demons focus more on Body Refinement,”
Li Hao pondered.
The bodies of Demons, most of which were comparable to swords, possessed wild and fierce strength and had their own methods of Body Refinement.
The Human Race’s Body Refining Techniques were researched by the human experts themselves, just as Demon techniques were naturally researched by Demons.
The Human Race could forge treasure armors and Divine Weapons and, along with other Cultivation Techniques, received quicker and greater returns in strength, causing the sect of Body Refinement to decline. However, it wasn’t the same for Demons.
They focused more on their physical bodies, after all, they didn’t have as many healing pills, their Artifact Refining standards were lower, and they often had to rely on their flesh to withstand battles.
Against Demons of the same realm, if the Human Race’s treasure armor and Divine Weapons were slightly inferior, they would be no match at all.
“I wonder where the lairs of these two Great Demons are. I should search them later; they must have left some Demons to guard their territory.”
Li Hao looked toward the camp, and through his Divine Soul’s concentrated gaze, he saw that the battle there was also coming to an end.
After all, the Demon King of the Immortal Realm had fled, and the remaining Great Demons weren’t brainless; knowing when to retreat wisely, they chose to withdraw. They only sent the lower-level Demons to obstruct and slow down the enemy’s pursuit.
You didn’t need to run the fastest, but you had to run faster than your kind!
The previously menacing horde of Demons had now disintegrated, leaving only the smaller Demons in panicked flight.
After resting for a moment, Li Hao, with a giant boar tusk in each hand, headed back to the camp.
Li Hongzhuang should know about these Demon lairs.
By the way, he should also learn more about the distribution and situation of the Demons outside the Frontier Pass from her.
…
Within the camp.
Li Hongzhuang stood in front of the graveyard, surrounded by slain Demons.
As for the small mound, she could no longer afford to care about it; under the Demons’ trampling and impacts, the mound had become even smaller.
Over the years of battles and conflicts, that’s how Cangya City gradually fell.
Seeing that all the Demons had fled, Li Hongzhuang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed out of the camp. Her Divine Soul flew out, searching into the distance.
Upon closer inspection, her gaze suddenly froze. She saw that, dozens of miles away, the head of the pig Demon had split open and it lay on the ground, lifeless.
And further, dozens of miles away from the pig Demon, the Chi Hu Jun that had repeatedly invaded her territory lay in a pool of blood, its head smashed, its body torn apart, and its inner organs and blood had dyed the nearby ground red.
Both Great Demons from the Immortal Realm were unexpectedly dead!
In the night breeze, only the figure of that young man was visible, stepping through the blood traces of the Demons on his way back.
In his hands, he carried a two-meter-long boar tusk each, looking totally at ease.
Li Hongzhuang stood there in shock.
Was it Li He’s doing?
Impossible.
Although Li He was from the older generation, he was only a son of a concubine; he was even allowed to choose only one Peerless Technique from the Listening Rain Tower to learn.
To learn a second one required him to establish a tremendous contribution to the family and gain significant renown for himself.
In Li Hongzhuang’s mind, Li He’s strength should be much inferior to hers.
Even she wouldn’t be able to kill two Great Demons from the Three Immortal Realms so swiftly, let alone Li He.
Could it be based on Li Hao’s own abilities?
Li Hongzhuang thought of how Li Hao had previously repelled the Feipeng Great Demon with a single punch. Her expression shifted slightly; this child was only in the Heavenly Human Realm, wasn’t he?
With shock and doubt in her heart, she stood at the fort’s gate, quietly waiting for the young man to return.
“Did you kill this Demon on your own, or did you team up with Li He?”
Li Hongzhuang immediately asked.
“On my own.”
Li Hao said, “You’ve worked hard.”
“This is the place I’m supposed to guard; how can it be considered hard work.” Li Hongzhuang replied irritably, and then sized up Li Hao, saying, “Are you really my seventh brother’s child?”
“I’m not.”
“…”
Li Hongzhuang said, “I mean that kind of…”
“Neither kind.”
Li Hao shook his head; how did they keep returning to this topic.
He carried the two boar tusks into the camp.
His Divine Soul appeared briefly above his head, scanning the area and seeing that Ren Qianqian and the little white fox were still by the campfire, seemingly uninjured.
The tents near the campfire also remained intact, spared from being torn apart by the Demons.
The only thing missing was the package of roasted meat wrapped in leaves…
“…”
Li Hao was momentarily speechless.
He could almost picture Feng sneakily taking the roasted meat during the confusion, sitting in a dark spot and leisurely gnawing away, while casually swatting away any Demon that approached Ren Qianqian.
While he and Li Hongzhuang were caught up in this exhausting fight, the old man had been taking it easy.
However, Li Hao felt not the slightest resentment, only gratitude in his heart.
If it weren’t for the old man’s whispered transmission back then, he wouldn’t have known how to overcome that barrier.
It was the old man’s words that gave him the courage.
And it was the old man who had protected him all the way from Qingzhou to Liangzhou, and to this place.
Along the way, the old man had stealthily killed countless Demons for him.
