They wanted to take advantage of Li Yao's defense against their attack to escape quickly.
"Go! Kill him!"
Just to be on the safe side, they ordered their men to surround and attack Li Yao while they were fleeing.
They didn't care about the lives of their men.
As long as they can escape safely, losing a few men is no big deal.
However, their men were all cowards who ignored their orders and fled in all directions for their lives, which enraged the men. One of them swung his sword wildly, while the other waved his fan left and right.
Immediately, outside the City of the Dead, a chorus of wails filled the air as countless ghost soldiers and generals fell to the swords and fans of these two old demons.
The scene was in complete chaos!
"What a bunch of rabble!"
Li Yao and the others were taken aback by this sight.
At this moment, the two old demons only wanted to get rid of Li Yao as soon as possible, so they flew desperately towards the City of the Unjustly Dead.
There are still many vengeful ghosts and spirits in the City of the Wrongfully Dead. If they can control these vengeful ghosts and spirits and fight against Li Yao, they may not necessarily lose.
"Trying to escape? No way!"
Li Yao had already seen through the intentions of the two old demons. He activated his magic, and the divine spear shone brightly with azure light. Countless spear beams shot out from the spear shaft, densely shooting towards the two old demons.
Just then, a deafening shout rang out from the sky: "You wicked creature, cease your arrogance!"
The next moment, the world changed color, the wind rose and the clouds surged, and thick dark clouds rose from the sky, rolling endlessly.
Amidst the dark clouds, thunder roared and lightning flashed. Countless silver lightning bolts descended from the sky, instantly shattering Li Yao's spear light and reducing it to nothing.
Meanwhile, from the southwest, banners fluttered as a large army slowly approached.
Chapter 443 The Great Sage Tongtian Appears
Just as Li Yao was about to kill Caiwei Old Demon and Mountain Demon, lightning suddenly struck from the sky, shattering his spear's edge.
Meanwhile, in the southwest, banners fluttered and a large number of people slowly appeared.
Leading the procession was a formidable cavalry force, composed entirely of elite ghost soldiers with ferocious faces. They rode tall, powerful armored warhorses, wore bright and ornate black armor, and carried jet-black lances.
Behind the cavalry was a group of monsters of various appearances, holding colorful banners that read "Great Sage Tongtian".
Behind them, eight tall and burly monsters carried an extremely luxurious palanquin, swaying as they walked over.
Behind the palanquin were squads of well-trained ghost soldiers and generals, each carrying various weapons such as spears, swords, shields, bows, and crossbows. They stood in their respective ranks, their armor gleaming, their weapons shining, and they were imposing and spirited.
"The Great Sage Tongtian! The Great Sage Tongtian has arrived..."
"Great! We're finally saved!"
Upon seeing the army, the old demon Caiwei and the old demon Shanxiao cried out in surprise, "Great Sage Tongtian, please save us!"
After saying that, they rushed towards the group of soldiers.
"Oh no, it's...it's the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"
The wolf demon's expression changed drastically, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.
Clearly, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was an extremely terrifying being to him.
"This so-called Great Sage Who Reaches Heaven has finally come out!"
Li Yao smiled slightly.
He caused such a commotion in the underworld that even the Great Sage Tongtian, the mastermind behind it all, finally couldn't resist showing his face.
He wanted to see just how powerful this Great Sage Tongtian was, that he could imprison both the Emperor of Fengdu and the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.
"Just who is this Great Sage Tongtian? His entourage is so grand!"
Yan Chixia, Nie Xiaoqian, Xiaobai, and the others watched with great curiosity as the large army slowly approached.
Soon, the soldiers arrived in front of Li Yao and his party, and they surrounded them in a well-trained manner.
With a group of monsters clearing the way, everyone made way for each other.
Then, eight burly demons carried a luxurious palanquin and slowly approached Li Yao and his party.
On either side of the palanquin stood four unusual monsters.
The wolf demon pointed to the first monster on the left side of the palanquin and said to Li Yao, "That is the Wild Dog King who occupies the tenth court of the underworld."
Li Yao and the others looked in the direction the wolf demon was pointing.
The wild dog spirit was a tall, strangely shaped monster with drooping eyelids, a protruding nose, upturned ears, bright red lips, and a long tongue that would stick out from time to time, just like a dog.
The wild dog spirit was dressed in dark yellow clothes and held a golden, wheel-like weapon in its hand.
This wheel is composed of a thousand-spoked wheel, an axle, and an outer ring made of gold. Its pattern, color, and shape are very similar to the wheel used by the Golden Wheel Monk in the world of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Li Yao quickly asked, "What weapon is he holding?"
The wolf demon said, "That is the treasure of the Ten Kings of Hell, the Wheel King, called the Wheel Treasure, and it is extremely powerful."
Li Yao nodded and then asked, "Who is the man behind the Wild Ghost Demon?"
The wolf demon replied, "That is the Sea King, who occupies the Ninth Hall of the Underworld, also known as the Sea Prince."
This young master Hai was extremely handsome, with an elegant and refined demeanor.
He wore a blue robe, and his black hair, which was not tied up, was loose and smooth, like the finest silk.
Beneath her delicate, almost feminine eyebrows were a pair of captivating, deep blue eyes. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, adding to her alluring charm. Even a man would be moved by her gaze.
The man was holding something that looked like a ledger in his left hand.
The wolf demon then pointed to the first demon on the right side of the palanquin and said, "She is the Red Fox King who occupies the Eighth Hall of the Underworld."
This red fox spirit was an extremely ugly young woman with a pointed chin, narrow, upturned fox eyes, and two fox ears standing upright on her head.
This hideously ugly fox spirit was dressed in an extremely seductive manner, with heavy red makeup and bright red clothes, which was completely incongruous with her appearance and made her look even more hideous.
In her arms, she held a monster with a cat's head and a dog's tail.
"I never imagined there could be such an ugly fox spirit!"
Li Yao glanced at Xiao Bai beside him and said something meaningful.
"I am a member of the noble Celestial Fox clan!"
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes at Li Yao and said something very arrogantly.
"Ah? So Sister Xiaobai is also a fox demon?"
Nie Xiaoqian and the other female ghosts were all greatly surprised.
Only now do they know Xiaobai's true identity.
Xiao Bai smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
Li Yao and the others then turned their attention to the monster behind the red fox demon.
It was a gigantic monster, naked from the waist up, with a face as blue as indigo, hair as red as cinnabar, a huge mouth with fangs, and holding a three-pronged bull's head trident in its hand.
Judging from the two large lumps hanging on its chest, it can be determined that this is a female monster.
Blue flames, several meters high, rose from her head, burning like candles, which was extremely eerie.
Her nose had one nostril pointing upwards and the other downwards, like a snail's antennae, sometimes sticking out and sometimes retracting, which was quite strange.
Around her neck was a necklace made up of many skulls, which was quite terrifying.
Li Yao frowned and said, "No need to say more, this must be the female demon who occupies the Seventh Palace!"
"Your Majesty is wise! She is indeed the Yaksha Queen, and she is extremely fierce!"
The wolf demon nodded and said.
"I didn't expect that the remaining four demon kings would all appear."
Li Yao smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the luxurious palanquin.
A white gauze curtain hung around the palanquin, and one could vaguely see a figure of medium build sitting inside.
Li Yao said, "Presumably, the so-called Great Sage Who Reaches Heaven is this one inside!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is right..."
At this moment, the wolf demon's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but swallow hard in fright.
"Great Sage Tongtian, please save us!"
The old demon Caiwei and the old demon Shanxiao rushed to the front of the carriage and shouted for help.
"Hmph, you two useless old geezers, you still have the nerve to ask the Great Sage to save you!"
The wild dog spirit glanced contemptuously at the two old demons and snorted coldly.
The two old demons were furious, but they dared not say anything, because this wild dog spirit had a close relationship with the Great Sage Tongtian and had always enjoyed the Great Sage Tongtian's favor.
"Where's Scorpion? Where is he?"
The red fox fairy looked around and asked in confusion.
The two old demons pointed at Li Yao at the same time and said in unison, "He has already killed him!"
Chapter 444 A Qualified Lackey
"What? He's already killed the Scorpion?"
The red fox demon was taken aback and looked Li Yao up and down in disbelief.
She knew that the Poisonous Scorpion Demon Demon possessed a Soul-Binding Banner, which was a gift from the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to the Demon Demon Demon.
This soul-capturing banner can capture the soul of any living being; it is extremely powerful.
Therefore, among the Ten Great Demon Kings, the Old Demon of the Dull Ghost ranks among the top five in strength and has few rivals.
