The moment the protective shield disappeared, Li Boyang suddenly sensed danger and vanished from his spot in a flash.
The next moment, a flame spewed out from the iron horn of another horned demon, and the milky white heat instantly turned everything around into charcoal.
This is clearly another innate ability of the Horned Demon race.
Dodging the sudden burst of flames, Li Boyang saw that the area covered by the flames had all turned into charcoal. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If a flame of this intensity had burned him, he would definitely have been caught off guard and capsized.
That's how it is when fighting the Horned Demons. Even though they are weaker than you, they always have all sorts of weird and unpredictable tricks that are hard to defend against.
Seeing that the opponent had used up all their trump cards, Snake-like Leap was used again, and the whole person turned into a phantom and rushed out.
The sky was filled with countless fist shadows, completely enveloping the two horned demons.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All the force of the punch landed on the abdomens of the two horned demons.
This time, the two horned demons had no other means and collapsed to the ground like two puddles of minced meat.
With a long sigh, Li Boyang squatted down beside the two horned demons, took out a razor from his pocket, and carefully cut off the iron horns of the two demons.
He opened the package at his waist, which was filled with iron horns from the top of the Iron Horned Demons' heads. Including the two that had just been cut off, there were about a hundred of them. In other words, Li Boyang already had more than a hundred Iron Horned Demons in his possession.
These iron horns were collected over the past three months after countless brushes with death.
These iron horns are treasures; they are proof that he killed the Iron Horned Demon, and can be exchanged for very valuable military merits.
After tossing the two iron horns into the package, Li Boyang carefully left.
They would fire a shot and then move on to another spot. Having just killed two horned demons, they obviously couldn't stay in this place any longer; they would continue searching for a new location to ambush their prey.
As for the two horned demon corpses, less than half an hour after Li Boyang left, a large wild beast, attracted by the smell of blood, appeared and devoured the two horned demon corpses.
The war between the human race and the horned demon race was conducted in a completely different way than Li Boyang had imagined. It was not like a war between two countries, with people lined up in battle and fighting. Come to think of it, the people who participated in this war were at least at the Qi Refining Realm, so it was impossible for them to fight like ordinary people.
The war between humans and horned demons was actually fought through hunting.
According to the pre-war agreement between the two races, the maximum combat strength for this war was limited to the Golden Core Realm, and the number of Golden Core Realm cultivators participating in this war was also limited.
Both the human race and the horned demon race can only send 100 people at the Golden Core stage.
The way this war ended was also very simple: both tribes built one hundred cities outside the Great Wilderness Forest on both sides of the river. Whoever destroyed the city lord's mansion in all of the other tribe's cities first would win the war and gain control of the Wilderness Battlefield.
A hundred-mile-wide raging river divides the wasteland in two, and the vast forests on both sides of the river are the battlefield between the two tribes, spanning the entire wasteland.
At least a million human cultivators at the Qi Refining stage are currently fighting on both sides of the Great Wilderness Forest, and countless people are buried here every day.
Nearly a million people may seem like a lot, but throwing them into the Great Wilderness Forest is like throwing a drop of water into a river. Li Boyang has been lying in ambush on the giant tree for three days. The two Iron Horned Demons were the first to pass by there, which shows how vast the Great Wilderness Forest is.
Walking through the Great Wilderness Forest, Li Boyang, just like the two horned demons he had just killed, would occasionally look around.
Humans aren't the only ones who engage in this kind of ambush-and-wait scheme; horned demons do it too. Some horned demons have innate stealth abilities on their horns, allowing them to remain hidden so deeply that even their bodies can't detect them.
Li Boyang was once ambushed by the Horned Demons, who possessed the ability to hide. If the Horned Demons hadn't been significantly less mobile than him, he would have been defeated that time.
While the Horned Demons possess formidable abilities, they are not without their flaws. Compared to humans, their strengths and weaknesses are quite pronounced.
As for advantages, the physical attributes of the Horned Demons are far superior to those of the Humans.
Therefore, even without the amplification of innate true qi, the Horned Demon Clan's striking and defensive power is almost equivalent to that of the Qi Refining Realm, and they also possess innate supernatural abilities that are difficult to defend against, making them extremely troublesome.
The downside is the lack of explosive power. The various martial arts manuals practiced by humans can instantly amplify attack power, defense power, or movement speed, and once amplified, they can achieve a complete suppression of a certain attribute.
Just like Li Boyang, if he were to use his lightness skill normally to compete with the Horned Demon Clan in speed, their speeds would be about the same if they were of equal strength.
However, once the serpentine and acrobatic lightness skill is used, the horned demons can be instantly thrown off balance. The same applies to attacks. With the Tai Chi Divine Skill, the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi can be unleashed without fear of head-on clashes with the horned demons.
The only concern is the Horned Demon race's special abilities. These talent stones are completely unreasonable; some attack talents can instantly kill them.
Just like the Iron Horned Demon that died earlier, one of them could breathe fire. If those milky white flames touched him, they could burn him to death instantly. His innate true energy couldn't defend against them at all, which is why he was so careful.
In the Great Wilderness Forest, in addition to guarding against the Horned Demon Clan, one must also guard against all kinds of giant wild beasts, some of which are over ten meters tall and have a toe bigger than Li Boyang.
Although such wild beasts lack intelligence, they are not something he can deal with by brute force alone. Even a full-force attack would only tickle them.
It could even be said that the wild beasts are the true overlords of the Great Wilderness Forest, and both humans and horned demons have to give them a wide berth.
We walked cautiously through the vast forest for more than half an hour.
Suddenly, the sound of clashing weapons could be heard from afar.
"There are humans and horned demons fighting each other."
Li Boyang frowned and instantly slithered towards the direction from which the sound came.

Chapter 177 Fierce Battle
"Huh? There's someone I know here."
Following the sound of clashing weapons, Li Boyang approached and was astonished to find that it was indeed a battle between humans and horned demons.
There are six people on the human side. Three of them are people Li Boyang knows: Ye Qingwu and Yue Yongsi from the Dongyang Sect, and the other is Zuoqiu Leshan.
Li Boyang didn't recognize the other three. They were about the same age as Ye Qingwu, all in their early twenties, but their strength was much higher than the three from the Dongyang Sect. They should also be at the level of refining silk into liquid.
