Dugu Jiansheng asked politely.
He found Li Yao's magic to be extremely magical and profound. He was well-informed and had studied the magic and sword techniques of various schools, but he had never seen Li Yao's magic before.
Moreover, Li Yao dealt with all the demons present in the blink of an eye.
Such profound magical power was something he had never seen before in his life.
In his estimation, even their sect leader Chang Hao's magical power was probably not as profound as Li Yao's.
The sudden appearance of such a powerful figure made him wary.
The fact that Li Yao was riding such a huge yellow bird was truly awe-inspiring.
To be able to make a giant bird willingly serve as a mount, one must be no ordinary person.
Therefore, Dugu Jiansheng really wanted to find out Li Yao's origins.
“Li Yao is unaffiliated with any sect or faction. This is my wife.”
Li Yao had a clear understanding of Dugu Jiansheng's thoughts.
However, he ignored Dugu Jiansheng's vigilance and instead turned his gaze to a dense forest not far away.
When he was high in the sky, he saw a group of demons emerging from there.
Moreover, the dense forest was filled with demonic energy, which clearly indicated that it might be the lair of these demon lords.
So he patted the yellow bird on the back and said, "Little Yellow, hurry up and fly over to take a look!"
The yellow bird let out a sharp cry, then flapped its two huge wings, creating a gust of wind, and rushed off towards the dense forest.
A fierce wind howled, causing the clothes of the Drunken Sword Immortal and the Lone Sword Saint to flutter wildly, their bodies swaying precariously.
Their expressions changed drastically in an instant.
"What an extraordinary person! He actually managed to tame such a huge bird!"
The Sword Immortal was utterly shocked, his eyes wide. He picked up his wine gourd and gulped down several mouthfuls.
"Such a formidable figure, is he friend or foe?"
Dugu Jiansheng was indeed worthy of being the sect leader. Having witnessed Li Yao's power and mystery firsthand, his first thought was whether Li Yao would threaten the Shu Mountain Sect.
"Whether he's a friend or foe, he saved us, so he's our benefactor!"
The Sword Immortal wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and said decisively.
"It seems they went to the Demon's Lair. Let's go check it out!"
Dugu Jiansheng remained noncommittal, but spoke with a solemn expression.
As he spoke, he took out two healing pills from his body, one for himself and one for the Drunken Sword Immortal, and swallowed them.
Their injuries were almost completely healed in no time.
Then, they flew on their swords and chased after the dense forest.
...
In the dense forest, there is a stronghold built of rocks and giant trees. It is located in a fortified position, making it very strong and easy to defend.
In the village, banners fluttered, and thousands of demons of all shapes and sizes gathered.
"Quickly summon your Demon Lord to come out and see me!"
In mid-air, Li Yao, sitting on the back of the yellow bird, shouted in a booming voice.
"What a huge bird!"
"It looks like them. They just wiped out a lot of our people!"
"They're actually that powerful?"
"They're so powerful, what should we do?"
"..."
A group of demons, upon seeing the giant yellow bird, were terrified and thrown into chaos.
At this moment, a burly man with a ferocious face, dressed in black, and with three black streaks mixed in with his white hair shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone! There are only two of them. Don't be afraid of them. Let's all attack together, kill them, and avenge our fallen brothers!"
The big man's words were quite intimidating.
Clearly, this burly man must be one of the leaders of this group of demons.
"Kong Qishi is right, let's attack together, kill them, and avenge our brothers!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"..."
At Kong Qishi's shout, a group of demons regained their morale, their battle cries shook the heavens, and they unleashed their respective magical weapons, heading towards Li Yao and Xiao Bai.
Chapter 467 The Wonderful Use of the Mirror of Retribution
At the command of Kong Lin, the flag bearer under the Demon Lord, hundreds and thousands of demons unleashed their magical weapons and attacked Li Yao and Xiao Bai.
"Um... how about I try out the magical artifact I obtained in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story!"
Li Yao smiled slightly, waving his hands in strange motions.
Suddenly, a crimson light flashed in his hand, followed by a flash of white light, and a huge stone platform suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
On the stone platform stood a huge bronze mirror, about three zhang in diameter, with various strange yet ancient patterns engraved around it.
Above the bronze mirror is a horizontal plaque with seven large characters: "No good person stands before the Mirror of Karma."
"The Mirror of Retribution!"
A smile appeared on Xiao Bai's face.
She had originally intended to take action, but instead crossed her arms and appeared calm and unhurried.
What is that?
"It looks...it looks like a dressing table!"
"There's such a big dressing table!"
"Is this guy stupid? He actually pulled out a mirror stand to use against us!"
"..."
The group of demons were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.
But the next moment, a white light flashed on the mirror, and the magical treasures they had unleashed were all knocked back by this white light.
At the same time, the dazzling white light made it impossible for them to open their eyes, and they subconsciously shielded their eyes with their hands.
However, the white light did not cause them any harm.
They immediately breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "It was just a bluff, hahaha..."
Unfortunately, his smile immediately froze on his face.
Li Yao reached out and pulled out a long spear. Then, he lightly tapped his feet in mid-air and leaped to the front of the Mirror of Retribution.
Immediately, a reflection of Li Yao appeared in the huge bronze mirror.
But then, something incredible happened.
Suddenly, Li Yao's reflection in the bronze mirror stepped out and became two Li Yaos, each holding an identical spear.
That wasn't the end of it; two more reflections of Li Yao appeared in the bronze mirror.
The next moment, the two mirror images also stepped out of the bronze mirror, turning into four Li Yaos.
This was repeated several times.
Soon, sixty-four Li Yaos appeared, densely packed, filling the air.
"This...this is impossible?"
"How did so many people suddenly appear?"
Am I seeing things?
"This...this is too unbelievable!"
"..."
Kong Lin and his gang of demons were all dumbfounded, their mouths agape in astonishment at what they were seeing.
They had never seen such a magical artifact before, capable of conjuring up so many Li Yaos.
One Li Yao is already difficult to deal with, let alone so many Li Yaos!
In fact, Li Yao didn't need to use the Magic Mirror Platform to deal with these demons at all.
However, today he suddenly had a whim and wanted to try out the effects of the Mirror of Retribution.
He had obtained this magical artifact from the Painted Skin Demon King in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, but he had never used it.
The Painted Skin Demon King can replicate himself 127 times, including his original body, making a total of 128 versions of himself.
With Li Yao's abilities, replicating himself thousands of times would be no problem at all.
However, he fears that if he replicates too many versions of himself, some of his counterparts will be unable to find rivals.
Besides, he was just testing the effects of the Mirror of Retribution; he didn't need to replicate himself too much.
That's why he copied himself sixty-three times.
"Hey guys, let's go have some fun!"
Li Yao crossed his arms and calmly gave the order to his sixty-three selves.
"Alright!"
Sixty-three versions of themselves responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
The next moment, they drew their Overlord Spears and charged in unison towards a group of demons.
