Ye Qingwu was the first to break the deadlock. Her iron sword, infused with innate true energy, struck down the arm of a horned demon. Li Boyang followed up instantly, using the Tai Chi technique of blocking and striking the horned demon's abdomen, instantly ending the opponent's life.
One person died, and a chain reaction began to occur.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the Horned Demons except for Beta, who had the body of a horse and the face of a human, and Kress had been killed.
"Beta, retreat."
Just as Li Boyang was about to press his advantage and finish off Kress, Kress suddenly took out a metal ball and summoned Beta to his side.
Seeing that all was lost, Kress glared at Li Boyang with resentment and tossed the metallic paint in his hand. Suddenly, a burst of golden light enveloped both Kress and Beta.
The next moment, the golden light disappeared, and the two of them vanished completely.
Yu Fei said weakly:
"It's the Golden Light Escape Technique. I didn't expect that guy to have a one-time-use escape artifact."
"Was that flying sword you just used also a magical artifact?"
Li Boyang felt a pang of fear as he looked at the spot where the golden light had dissipated; magical artifacts were truly wondrous.
"That's right, the flying sword I just used is called the Spirit Wind Sword, which was given to me by my master for self-defense."
Magical artifacts are usually crafted by experts at the Golden Core stage. The crafting process requires a large amount of rare and precious materials, and their power is astonishing.
If Li Boyang's Tai Chi Divine Ability can increase his physical strength tenfold, then activating a magical artifact at the Qi Refining stage can increase his strength a hundredfold, making them completely incomparable.
However, not everyone can use magical artifacts. Magical artifacts are controlled by mental power, and normally only those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage can use them at will.
If someone in the Qi Refining stage forces themselves to use it, they will end up like Yu Fei, unable to sustain it for long before exhausting themselves.
"Brother, what should I call you? I'm so grateful for your help today."
Yu Fei cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Li Boyang. Indeed, if it hadn't been for Li Boyang's intervention, their group would probably have been wiped out today.
Li Boyang replied calmly, "Just call me Li Boyang."
"Brother Yu Fei, do you know what that horse-bodied, human-faced creature was?"
In the battle just now, the horse-bodied, human-faced creature was incredibly fierce. When it charged, no one could stop it. Li Boyang was hit twice, and each time he felt his bones shift and blood rush to his chest.
Keep in mind that he was going all out, using his Tai Chi skills to unleash an extremely powerful punch. Beta, with his horse-like body and human face, put him at a disadvantage simply by relying on his physical strength.
Yu Fei explained, "The Ghost Horse Clan was originally a small clan, but it was wiped out by the Horned Demon Clan three hundred years ago. Now, all the remaining Ghost Horse Clan members have become slaves of the Horned Demon Clan."
"Among the Horned Demons, there are quite a few other clans that have been wiped out in this way. Brother Li, haven't you seen any other races besides the Horned Demons?"
Li Boyang shook his head; the Ghost Horse Clan was indeed the second alien race he had encountered.
"In the Tianyuan World, there are countless small clans. Every day, many small clans are wiped out. Even our human race is only a medium-sized race, and we can only survive under the protection of the witch clan."
"I see."
In just a few words, Li Boyang understood the cruelty of the Tianyuan World. No one could escape the war between races, and once a race was wiped out, the entire race would become slaves. This could be seen from the Ghost Horse Clan just now.
"Brother Boyang should be from the Dongyang Sect, just like Junior Sister Ye. Our Taiyi Sect is the superior sect of the Six Yang Sect. I see that your strength is not bad. You can join our team from now on."
Li Boyang was quite capable, and Yu Fei began to consider recruiting him.
Li Boyang frowned. Yu Fei's tone was somewhat condescending, as if the Taiyi Sect was a superior sect and he had to listen to him. He replied crisply:
"No interest. I'm used to being a lone wolf. Let's talk about how to divide the spoils."

Chapter 179 Hall of Military Merit
Seven members of the Demon Horn Clan died in this battle.
Each Iron Horn of the Demon Horn Clan is a highly valuable military achievement, which can be exchanged for various rare treasures provided by the Human Alliance.
This isn't even the most precious thing; when Kress fled in panic, he didn't even take the lotus-shaped magical artifact with him.
Li Boyang had already seen the magical artifacts; the Spirit Wind Sword in Yu Fei's hand from the Taiyi Sect was incredibly powerful, taking the lives of two Horned Demons with a single strike.
Although the lotus seedpod did not demonstrate any offensive capabilities, its defense was incredibly formidable, capable of matching the Spirit Wind Sword in strength, suggesting it was a defensive magical artifact.
Yu Fei frowned, somewhat displeased. He hadn't expected Li Boyang to reject him so directly. The other party was merely an inner disciple of the Dongyang Sect, while he himself was an inner disciple of the Taiyi Sect, whose status was far superior to Li Boyang's.
However, since the other party had suddenly appeared and saved his team, he suppressed his anger and calmly said:
"Brother Boyang, what do you think is the best way to distribute them?"
When Li Boyang saw that Yu Fei's eyes were fixed on the lotus-shaped artifact while he was speaking, the other party's intention was all too clear: he wanted to keep the lotus-shaped artifact for himself.
"The lotus-shaped magical artifact is mine, and the seven iron horns of the Demon Horn Clan are yours. What do you think, Brother Yu Fei?"
Even though he knew the other party wanted the lotus-shaped magic artifact, Li Boyang had no intention of letting go. The lotus-shaped magic artifact had amazing defensive power, and in the current war between the two races, having such a magic artifact in hand would greatly increase the chances of survival.
No sooner had Li Boyang finished speaking than Meng Bufan said bluntly, "Li Boyang, aren't you a little blinded by greed? Can you really stomach something like a magical artifact?"
While Yu Fei could still restrain himself, Meng Bufan wore his disgust on his face. As an inner disciple of the Six Yang Sect, and with his father being a Golden Core elder of the sect, he hadn't even asked for the lotus-shaped magic weapon, yet Li Boyang dared to make such an outrageous demand first.
Bian Buyi was Meng Bufan's follower in the Six Yang Sect. As soon as Meng Bufan finished speaking, he immediately chimed in, "That's right. Such a precious treasure as a magic weapon is only qualified for Senior Brother Meng and Senior Brother Yu Fei. You are just an inner disciple of the Dongyang Sect, yet you dare to dream of it."
Junior Brother Boyang, perhaps we should…
