Chapter 55: Coercion
Li Ji, who had turned on the blood rage, was running extremely fast, and in addition, he was rushing down the mountain from top to bottom, and his speed was far beyond usual.
On the way down the mountain, weeds blocked the way, and the mountain land, which was already roadless, was knocked out of a road by Li Ji. He was on the verge of tripping several times while running at high speed, but he balanced in time at the last minute and eased up. Such a hearty run is the way this forest should be, and Li Ji's previous practice in the cave was as stingy as a family, after all, if he really encountered a situation where he wanted to flee for his life, the escape route would definitely not be as flat as the cave and there was no foreign object to obstruct him.
Within a few minutes, Li Ji rushed to the foot of the mountain, and then continued to run in the direction of those first-level demonic beasts with the same speed.
After reaching the flat ground, with the help of Li Ji, who was going down the mountain, his speed slowed down as he went deeper into the grass. At this moment, he had long since lost the figures of those first-level demonic beasts, after all, on this flat land where the weeds were taller than him, Li Ji did not have any vision advantage. However, in his memory, he still clearly remembered the general location of those demonic beasts, so Li Ji still maintained the current speed at which he had become stable and ran in the direction of his impression.
Since Li Ji drew his sword and rushed down the mountain without saying a word, the young beast also obeyed Li Ji's arrangement and followed closely, but deliberately kept a short distance.
With Li Ji opening the way in front, the young beast following behind is much more comfortable, at least after its size has become smaller, it is still a little more comfortable to walk on the road that Li Ji has broken through, and it is much stronger than the road that has been leading the way for the past few days.
At this moment, Li Ji didn't have time to take into account the experience of the young beast following him, because he didn't have the opportunity to experience it. Still struggling with the weeds, he only had a few first-level demonic beasts in his heart that were gradually closing the distance.
The impassable weeds of the road have largely limited Li's speed. Fortunately, he had the power of flesh and blood to support him, which greatly increased his speed and strength, otherwise he would have to spend all his physical strength on the way to charge.
After nearly ten minutes, Li Ji felt that he was not far from those first-level demonic beasts, although he couldn't see the figures of those first-level demonic beasts in front of him now, but he could see the mountains that gradually rose up outside the lawn in front of him, this large piece of grass was still surrounded by undulating mountains, and the grass surrounded by mountains could make it easy to tell the distance from the end.
As Li Ji approached, the first-level demonic beasts that were still eating grass and eating also discovered the situation. After all, Li Ji's unscrupulous movement to open the way was not small, as long as those first-level demonic beasts were not deaf, they would definitely hear it.
The sudden abnormal noise made the first-level demonic beasts a little suspicious, and they all stopped their movements and looked vigilantly in the direction where Li Ji was coming.
Weeds taller than humans hindered Li Ji's vision, and the same was true for those first-level demonic beasts. Their heads sticking out of their hind feet were not much stronger than Li Ji's, and they could only vaguely see something running towards them in the grass.
For unknown objects, most people will keep their distance, and the same is true for those first-level demonic beasts. "Squeak" came together with a scream, and retreated a few meters back. Leave a distance in the grass they had leveled that they thought were safe.
Li Ji, who had come all the way, did not let those first-level demonic beasts wait too long, and just as the first-level demonic beasts were staring intently, Li Ji rushed out of the grass.
Suddenly rushed out of the grass, and suddenly became spacious in front of him, and the defenseless Li Ji was also a little stunned for a while, and almost couldn't control the force of the forward rush and threw out.
After a moment of coming back to his senses, Li Ji saw the first-level demonic beast on the opposite side, as the young beast said, there were four of them, but the embarrassing scene of him rushing out of the grass just now had not changed his mentality. Therefore, the moment he saw the four first-level demonic beasts, he was also a little stunned for a while, not knowing what to do next.
On the contrary to Li Ji, the four-headed first-level demonic beasts saw that it was Li Ji who emerged from the grass and was a small character who did not have the slightest energy fluctuation that they were familiar with, and their nervous minds suddenly let go, but they felt a wave of anger in their hearts, thinking that they would be nervous and embarrassed by ordinary things like Li Ji. Even if these first-level Demonic Beasts were the lowest level of Demonic Beasts, they still felt that they were superior to ordinary beasts and humans. Therefore, in order to maintain the dignity of their first-level demonic beasts, the first-level demonic beasts in front should take the first step, opening their mouths and showing their teeth, and their faces fierce.
The first-level demonic beast on the opposite side slowly approached Li Ji, relieving Li Ji, who was a little uncertain due to the unexpected situation.
Seeing that the first-level demonic beast had a fierce look on its face, it was obvious that it was about to start a war, Li Ji immediately threw away all distractions and concentrated on preparing for battle. After all, he himself had been waiting for this moment for a long time. In his heart, today he must completely defeat the first-level demonic beasts and no longer allow any accidents to happen.
At present, although Li Ji can only burn and transform one percent of the blood in his body into blood qi at most, and the meridians in his body cannot hold so much blood qi at one time, and he needs to be consumed and replenished, he thinks that one percent of the transformed blood qi is enough for him to defeat the first-level demonic beast in front of him. What's more, he had already had actual combat experience before, and he already had a countermeasure against a first-level demonic beast that only had a single attack method such as a magic fireball. Besides, the second time he fought against a first-level demonic beast, if he hadn't been beaten by a group, he would have successfully killed the fleeing first-level demonic beast. So no matter how you look at it, in today's battle, he has a big chance of winning.
Li Ji held the sword in one hand, and the blood rage burned out more blood qi, all of which were absorbed into the meridians in his body, until he reached the limit of what he could absorb at present. The new wisps of blood qi began to function in the meridians.
Li Ji felt the powerful blood and qi power that erupted in his body, his eyes suddenly stared at the first-level demonic beast in front of him, and the steps that had been stopped due to the accident stepped out again, and he quickly rushed towards the first-level demonic beast that was coming in front of him.
The first-level demonic beast opposite Li Ji who wanted to teach him a lesson saw that Li Ji dared to provoke it, and made the act of blocking the car with its mantis arm in its eyes, which made it even more angry, and the feeling of being ignored by the ants made it even more angry. Therefore, in order to teach Li Ji an unforgettable lesson, it stopped as it was moving forward, and opened its mouth with a hint of cruelty at the corner of its mouth. A magic fireball that had appeared countless times in Li Ji's impression shot out from the mouth of the first-level demonic beast, and the target was none other than Li Ji, who was still charging forward.
At this moment, the distance between Li Ji and the first-level demonic beast was less than four meters, and the magic fireball came abruptly, coupled with the fact that Li Ji was extremely fast at this moment, the reaction time left for Li Ji became shorter and shorter.
Li Ji had already considered such a situation when he started charging head-on, but he was confident that he could handle it, as he had already had experience dodging magic fireball attacks and had also routed magic fireballs head-on. In addition, at this time, he is no longer what it used to be, with the body strengthened by half of the Lingzhi, in addition to the strengthening of the fire attribute resistance, the improvement of his physique has made his blood and qi have a qualitative change, and the blood and qi of the same size contain more blood and qi power than before, if it were not for something like Lingzhi that could be encountered and could not be found, and the price he took was too painful, Li Ji really wanted to rely on Lingzhi to cultivate.
It was precisely because of these arguments that Li Ji had the confidence to do what seemed to be a death act in the eyes of that first-level demonic beast. However, there was one thing that was indeed beyond Li Ji's expectations, that is, the speed at which the magic fireball flew towards him and the speed at which he was equivalent to rushing towards the magic fireball, and when these two speeds were combined, the time left for him to react instantly became less than a second.
At this moment, Li Ji didn't know whether the brain was dominating the body, or the body was being dominated by instinct, when the oncoming magic fireball became as big as a basin and was close in front of him, the sword that Li Ji was originally holding in one hand instantly became a two-handed clench, and the blood qi in the meridians in his body suddenly accelerated at this moment, and the vain increased strength made Li Ji raise the sword high with both hands, and his feet stepped forward at the moment when he was about to collide with the magic fireball, and the giant sword raised high gathered the blood and qi power of the whole body and quickly slashed out towards the magic fireball that was close at handใ
"Bang!", the magic fireball burst in response, shattered in half and fell to the ground, and Li Ji's foot also stopped after sliding half a meter.
At this moment, Li Ji was a little cold sweat on his forehead and excited in his heart. The first-level demonic beast that released the magic fireball on the opposite side was stunned, took a few steps back, and looked incredulous, obviously not believing that its magic fireball would be broken by an ordinary guy like Li Ji.
Li Ji, who was resisting the magic fireball head-on in the charge, quickly came back to his senses from the moment just now, and then glanced at the first-level demonic beast that was still suspicious of the beast with evil eyes. He had waited too long for this happy moment. Moreover, Li Ji has a deep mantra of "taking advantage of your illness and killing you", and knows that he can't give his opponent a chance to breathe. Therefore, Li Ji raised his sword and rushed towards the first-level demonic beast again.
At this moment, the distance between the two of them was less than three meters, and Li Ji could be said to be slashing with his sword.
The first-level demonic beast that was still in shock saw Li Ji rushing towards it, and the next magic fireball was still cooling, and it had no support, so without saying a word, it turned around and fled, the speed was as fast as a cunning rabbit.
Li Ji's sword slash failed, he had already expected it after seeing the first-level demonic beast fleeing for his life, and the reason why he had to do this seemingly useless move was because chasing the first-level demonic beast and cutting it was very relieving, just like a cat that caught a mouse and would not eat it immediately, it would take a while. In order to be able to defeat the first-level demonic beasts, Li Ji has suffered more these days than he has spent half his life on the earth, and it is time for the resentment that has been suppressed for a long time to dissipate.
Li Ji indifferently lifted the giant sword that split the air again, and raised his eyes to see that the first-level demonic beast that had escaped for his life had merged with its three little friends. If it was like last time, that first-level demonic beast had accomplices all over the mountain, Li Ji would definitely have to take a cautious attitude, but now there were only four first-level demonic beasts in front of him. Moreover, the magic fireball of one of the first-level demonic beasts was still cooling, and Li Ji, whose strength had increased, did not pay much attention to them. Therefore, Li Jian did not stop and walked towards them quickly.
At this moment, in the face of Li Ji's persecution, the four first-level demonic beasts were also a little hesitant, not knowing whether to leave or stay, but as Li Ji continued to approach, they began to retreat step by step, opening up a distance that they thought were safe.
Seeing that the situation had changed from a head-on battle to a confrontation, Li Ji was impatient, he would not give the first-level demonic beast that had already released the magic fireball time to recover. Therefore, Li Ji, who didn't want to spend any longer, strode towards the four first-level demonic beasts.
The originally stable situation was broken by Li Ji's move, and seeing Li Ji rushing desperately, the four first-level demonic beasts all screamed and intimidated. They had also seen the scene of Li Ji defeating the magic fireball head-on just now, so they were still a little afraid of Li Ji. Therefore, when Li Ji began to threaten them, he did not fight back with magic fireballs at the first time, but now, as Li Ji further killed them with impunity, they had no scruples. The three first-level demonic beasts that had not yet released the magic fireball, perhaps because they could withstand the pressure of Li Ji's oppression, shot the magic fireball at Li Ji unevenly.
Li Ji had the experience of being beaten by a group, so he didn't care too much about these three magic fireballs, he had no psychological pressure after avoiding countless magic fireballs, and in order to prove himself and be able to be ashamed in the future, Li Ji decided to try to shake the three magic fireballs head-on.
Given that there were three magic fireballs, Li Ji stopped after seeing the three first-level demonic beasts shoot out magic fireballs. Anyway, in his opinion, as long as he blocked this wave of attacks, during the cooldown time of the magic fireball, those four first-level demonic beasts would become lambs to the slaughter.
The three magic fireballs flew towards Li Ji one by one, and the distance between the first one and the second one was greater than the distance between the last two, which was also caused by the different times when the three first-level demonic beasts released the magic fireballs.
Li Ji, who was standing in place and waiting for the magic fireball to attack, could see the general situation of the three fireballs, but he didn't know the distance between them, because he couldn't see it from Li Ji's perspective. Therefore, Li Ji's plan was to smash the three magic fireballs as quickly as possible.
Li Ji, who had already prepared and gathered the blood and qi power of his whole body with both hands, raised his sword and slashed head-on towards the first magic fireball, and as expected, the first magic fireball was smashed in one fell slash. But the second magic fireball also arrived as scheduled, and at this time, Li Ji's sword momentum was still rushing downward, and if he wanted to raise his sword again and split, he would definitely not be able to do it. The situation was urgent, and Li Ji, who had no choice but to forcibly stop the sword momentum from rushing down, and at the critical moment, he chose the fastest way to resist the second magic fireball, and stopped the giant sword that was rushing down and lifted it up.
"Bang!" the second magic fireball burst as well. However, after all, Li Ji was a temporary counterattack, and his energy was insufficient, so when he hit the second magic fireball, he couldn't help but be forced, and his body took a step back.
Being able to defeat two magic fireballs in a row head-on was something Li Ji couldn't do before. It's a pity that this is the end of it, before Li Ji can stand firmly, the third magic fireball has quietly arrived.
Before he could react, Li Ji was hit in the chest by the third magic fireball that followed, and he was thrown two meters away.
