After becoming a Daemon General, his innate abilities had strengthened drastically, finally exhibiting the powers that they should have possessed.
Earlier, Li Qingshan had used air to transmit a shockwave. Although the effect was nowhere close to using it through earth, it still demonstrated startling power.
Ye Liusu was overcome by both surprise and anger, as well as a hint of fear. The opponent was unimaginably terrifying, and the powers he used were strong and mysterious. The armour she wore basically offered no protection at all before this power. Just how many more trump cards was he still hiding?
However, she could not give up. She had obtained this piece of territory from the Spider Queen after countless hardships. It was the only passageway for the Night Roaming folk to return to the surface. She could not let anyone take it from her.
Returning to her senses, she discovered that she had let out a hysteric roar, and her curved dagger ebbed with light, turning into a huge crescent that illuminated the entire cavern.
She had changed the flexible battle skill, merging with the dagger and charging over to kill with a bearing that could cut through all obstacles!
Li Qingshan was slightly taken aback. He was surprised that such a beautiful female assassin could actually give off such a bearing. His blood began to flow vigorously for the first time in this battle.
“Come!” Li Qingshan threw a punch, and cracks permeated the air.
Ye Liusu shivered inside, but she no longer hesitated. Her dark, blue eyes twinkled like starlight as she stabbed out with the dagger, completely forgetting about death. She struck like the swoop of an eagle.
Ye Liubo seemed to forget to breathe. She looked at Ye Liusu in admiration. Now this was the king they trusted. Her strength definitely could cut through all obstacles, including this wretched Daemon General.
A thunderous boom rang through the cavern, but all Ye Liusu met was a gust of wind, buffeting her long, dark blue hair. She eased up slightly. Looks like the power is limited by distance. I’ll show you what’s what with this strike!
Li Qingshan looked at his fist helplessly. The shockwave reached a few inches away before weakening and dispersing. With that pause, the flash of the dagger arrived like a bolt of lightning. His forehead pricked slightly.
Ye Liusu had poured all of her strength into this strike. Even the Ox Demon Forges its Hide could not block it.

Li Qingshan raised his foot in an attempt to dodge, but the darkness below his feet surged like it had come alive. Black hands reached out, grabbing his feet and legs before constantly extending upwards. It was like a thick, intangible pitch.
Before he knew it, Ye Liusu’s high-spirited bellow had turned into soft chanting.
The streak-like blade aura stared right at his face. The tip of the dagger was only three inches away from his forehead now.
Li Qingshan caught the blade aura between his hands. Ye Liusu’s dark blue pupils crossed over the long blade aura, staring murderously at Li Qingshan. She used all the strength that she had, but she was unable to push her blade another inch forward.
“Tremor!”
Li Qingshan smiled. Immediately, cracks covered the blade aura like lightning, spreading to Ye Liusu’s body.
The blade aura shattered, and Ye Liusu felt like every single bone in her body had been violently shaken up, which came with numbing pain. She immediately felt like her body was no longer hers. She saw Li Qingshan pull away rapidly until her back struck the wall behind her heavily.
“Great king!” Ye Liusu cried out.
Li Qingshan grabbed Ye Liusu’s slender neck and pressed down slightly. Ye Liusu raised her head with her brows furrowed. She was filled with regret and despair.
“I’ve already been holding back, but you still couldn’t threaten me!” Li Qingshan was rather disappointed. Originally, he wanted to use this battle to break through to the third layer of the tiger demon, but it just turned out to be lacking slightly. Maybe a battle of life or death would have been slightly better!
At this moment, a series of sharp whistles rang out from behind. Seven poisonous arrows shot towards Li Qingshan’s back in a V-shape, but they were blocked by a flash of many faint blue hexagons.
Li Qingshan was not even interested in looking back. Instead, he let go of her. “If you want to keep fighting, then feel free to. However, I won’t hold back anymore. I’ll defeat you in a single strike.”
Ye Liusu was astounded. If he had used this defensive technique right from the beginning, all of her attacks would have been useless. Failure was not necessarily unacceptable, but failure where she could not even make her opponent take her seriously was quite despairing.
In the past two years, she had waged war everywhere, not only taking back the territory that she should have possessed, but even expanding it slightly too. Apart from the few who stood beside the Spider Queen, she no longer took Daemon Generals seriously anymore. Only now did she understand that with how vast the world was, there were plenty of powerful beings out there that could not be underestimated.
“Alright, I’ll agree to your demands.”
“Great king!” Ye Liubo’s expression changed. It had taken them quite the effort to obtain this territory.
“Shut up!” Ye Liusu said coldly. Learning to respect the strong was the only way to survive underground.
“I can still let your sisters have some fun,” Li Qingshan smiled. However, all he received were glares of hatred. He shrugged it off.
“However, that’s not something I can decide!” Ye Liusu’s eyes swiveled. Who knew what she was thinking.
“Then who can decide?” Li Qingshan wrapped his arm around Ye Liusu’s. You just said you would give me the territory if you lost, and now you’re saying it’s not up for you to decide. Are you doubting how decisive I can be?
“Ma’am Spider Queen Lolth.” Ye Liusu coldened. Afraid of infuriating him, she added in a hurry, “Ma’am Lolth never interferes when Daemon Generals under her command fight over territory, but if a Daemon General appears out of nowhere and wants a piece of the territory, you’ll have to get her opinion on the matter.”
“That does sound rather reasonable. Then what are you suggesting?”
“I can take you to see ma’am Lolth and pass the territory to you in front of her.”
Li Qingshan was unfazed. “You mean to say that you want to take me deeper underground to the main base of the Night Roaming folk. There, we will see the Daemon Commander who you’re very familiar with but I’m not familiar with at all so that she can decide who the territory belongs to?”
Ye Liusu felt hot breaths of air near her ear and neck, but it did not make her heart throb at all. Instead, she felt like she was trapped within the mouth of a monster that could fly into a rage at any time. She gritted her teeth and said with great difficulty, “Yes.”
Li Qingshan laughed aloud. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
Ye Liusu was stunned. She found this handsome and powerful Daemon General to be even more difficult to read. Was he really so confident in his strength that he was bold enough to enter this land of danger under the lead of the enemy? He was rash and arrogant, yet also filled with reckless charm. Compared to those gloomy, constantly uneasy male night roamers, he was basically on the other end of the spectrum.
“But before this, I need to find a suitable place for my friend to settle down. I think this place will do.” Li Qingshan looked around at the cavern .He found the wall sculptings to be quite beautiful. The decoration was highly suitable for a home.
Ye Liusu agreed through gritted teeth.
Li Qingshan stood on the stone platform and gave a speech to the daemons, earning their absolute submission.
Milliped scurried over, returning to his familiar “bed” before curling up comfortably. Xiao An sat on his back.
