According to the instructions of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, whoever discovers a treasure in the underworld first will own that treasure.
Therefore, he could only be envious.
Now that the red fox demon has used the Netherworld Iron Tree, he believes Li Yao is doomed.
Li Yao severed his arm, so naturally he hated Li Yao to the core.
Therefore, at this moment, he really wanted to see Li Yao die tragically on the Netherworld Iron Tree.
Unfortunately, his plan failed!
Li Yao's figure was unpredictable, appearing and disappearing, easily dodging the branches that resembled serpents.
"He's so fast!"
The wild dog spirit opened its mouth wide, its head turning rapidly back and forth, but it still couldn't catch a glimpse of Li Yao.
Suddenly, a streak of green light flashed by, and the female demon let out a scream. She was abruptly struck by the green light, her chest was blown to pieces, and she spat out a mouthful of blood before flying backward at an angle.
At the same time, Li Yao's elusive figure finally came to a stop.
Li Yao waved his hands in the air, and countless golden threads emerged from his ten fingers, spreading towards the Netherworld Iron Tree.
Those golden threads, with faint purple lightning swirling around them, immediately entangled the branches of the Netherworld Iron Tree.
The branches of the Netherworld Iron Tree struggled desperately, trying to break free from the entanglement of the purple threads.
However, under the shock of the purple lightning, the branches of the Netherworld Iron Tree trembled violently, and even faint screams could be heard.
Soon, the golden threads spread across the entire trunk of the Netherworld Iron Tree, binding it.
"No...impossible!"
Both the red fox spirit and the wild dog spirit stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Caiwei, Shanxiao, quickly lend Red Fox a hand!"
Upon discovering that the female demon had been severely injured by Li Yao, and that the red fox demon's Netherworld Iron Tree had also been controlled by Li Yao, the Great Sage Tongtian could no longer sit still and hurriedly gave an order.
"yes!"
Upon receiving their orders, the old demon Caiwei and the old demon Shanxiao immediately launched a deadly sneak attack on Li Yao.
"Watch out, Brother Li!"
"Watch out, Brother Li!"
Upon discovering that the old demon Caiwei and the old demon Shanxiao were planning to ambush Li Yao, Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian exclaimed in unison.
"A bunch of shameless scoundrels!"
Xiao Bai snorted disdainfully, then with a flick of his hand, bursts of raging flames swept towards Caiwei Old Demon and Mountain Demon Old Demon.
She possesses thousands of years of cultivation, and this palm strike contains immense spiritual power—how could the old demon Caiwei and the old demon Shanxiao withstand it?
Immediately, they were charred by the raging flames, their skin crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma of meat filled the air.
Wild Dog Demon, Sea Prince, and Great Sage Tongtian were all greatly surprised. "We never expected that there was such a powerful expert hidden among them!"
Chapter 447 He's lying to us, his name isn't Li Yao
The countless golden threads on Li Yao's ten fingers firmly bound the Netherworld Iron Tree, and spiritual power surged forth.
Streaks of lightning and fire, following countless golden threads, flew rapidly toward the Netherworld Iron Tree like lit fuses.
Soon, the entire Netherworld Iron Tree was engulfed in flames.
These thunderbolts were celestial fires condensed by Li Yao, mixed with the power of thunder, capable of incinerating everything in the world.
No matter how powerful the Netherworld Iron Tree is, it cannot withstand the thunder and heavenly fire.
In just a few breaths, the branches of the Netherworld Iron Tree were burned to ashes, and a blood-red, gem-like crystal emerged from the raging flames and floated into the air.
This must be the 'Heart of the Nether Iron Tree' that the wolf demon mentioned!
Logically speaking, his heavenly fire should have been able to burn everything in the world, but unexpectedly, the heart of the Nether Iron Tree was not burned.
This shows that the Nether Iron Tree Heart is indeed an extremely rare material for refining weapons.
"It's definitely good stuff, so I won't be polite!"
Li Yao pointed the ring on his right hand at the Nether Iron Tree Heart and put the blood-red Nether Iron Tree Heart into his spatial storage.
At the same time, he also discovered that the old demon Caiwei and the old demon Shanxiao, who had tried to ambush him, were burned to ashes and looked utterly disheveled by Xiaobai's blazing fire palm.
"Well done, Xiaobai!"
Li Yao gave Xiaobai a thumbs up.
In fact, even if Xiao Bai didn't make a move, Caiwei Old Demon and Mountain Demon's sneak attack on him would not have succeeded.
"Just two old demons!"
Xiao Bai said calmly.
Her words infuriated Caiwei the Old Demon and the Mountain Demon.
However, they were helpless.
They were no match for Xiaobai.
"Two useless bastards!"
The Great Sage Tongtian, seated in his palanquin, gave a cold snort.
The two disheveled old demons lowered their heads in shame, trembling and afraid to offer any explanation.
After a pause, the Great Sage Tongtian said in a deep voice to Young Master Hai, "Young Master Hai, you should handle these people."
"Yes, Great Sage!"
Prince Hai respectfully bowed to the Great Sage Tongtian.
Immediately, he stepped forward calmly, holding an account book in his left hand, and looked at Li Yao with a composed expression, asking indifferently, "May I ask your name? Where are you from?"
"What, are you checking my household registration?"
Li Yao noticed that Young Master Hai was holding something that resembled an account book, and coupled with Young Master Hai's questions, it was no different from checking household registrations.
"Does Your Excellency dare not reveal your real name and background?"
Young Master Hai chuckled softly, his tone filled with deep contempt.
Li Yao knew, of course, that Young Master Hai was deliberately provoking him with his words.
He glanced again at the ledger in Hai Gongzi's hand, a thought flashing through his mind—could that be…?
He immediately had some guesses in his mind, and smiled slightly, saying, "It's no trouble to tell you. My surname is Li, and my given name is Yao. Li is the Li of the character '木' (mu), and Yao is the Yao of the characters '尧' (yao), '舜' (shun), and '禹' (yu). I am from Jinling. You should check carefully and make sure you don't make a mistake."
His previous life was from Nanjing, so he wasn't lying when he said he was from Jinling.
"Li Yao of Jinling!"
"very good!"
A hint of joy flashed across Hai Gongzi's face.
Immediately, he placed his hand on the thick ledger, and a burst of golden light appeared on it, while his expression became extremely solemn.
"Huh? What is he doing?"
Nie Xiaoqian said with a puzzled look.
Yan Chixia's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he cried out in a trembling voice, "This is bad! He may have the Book of Life and Death in his hand. He is looking for Brother Li's name. As long as he finds Brother Li's name and then uses the Soul-Hooking Brush to cross it out, Brother Li can die immediately and become a ghost."
"Oh no! What are we going to do?!"
Nie Xiaoqian was taken aback.
"They actually possess the Book of Life and Death in the Underworld? Does that mean they can control the life and death of anyone?"
Xiao Bai's face also turned very ugly.
"Hahaha... That's right. As long as Young Master Hai finds this brat's name, he's doomed. No matter how powerful his magic is, he still can't escape the soul-reaping pen of the underworld."
The red fox demon burst into triumphant laughter.
"You brat, aren't you so tough? Let's see how arrogant you are in a bit."
The shrew wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a sinister grin spreading across her face.
"Hehehe... You brat, just wait until you become a ghost, then I'll throw you into the eighteenth level of hell and torture you severely, so you'll never be reincarnated."
The wild dog spirit became more and more agitated as it spoke, and its face became more and more ferocious.
He had even imagined the scene of Li Yao being tortured by him, in order to avenge Li Yao for cutting off his arm.
The old demon Caiwei and the old demon Shanxiao were also very pleased with themselves.
They had suffered a lot at Li Yao's hands and hated him to the core. They longed to see Li Yao go to hell and wanted to take the opportunity to torture him to vent their hatred.
However, after waiting for a long time, these demon kings found that Li Yao was still standing there unharmed.
The usually calm and composed Young Master Hai suddenly showed signs of doubt and impatience.
"Young Master Hai, what's wrong?"
The red fox fairy quickly asked.
"Impossible, impossible..."
"Why can't I find his name?"
Hai Gongzi's face grew increasingly grim, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The wild dog spirit's eyes darted around, and it shouted, "You brat, are you trying to deceive us with a fake name?"
"I have always acted uprightly and honestly. Li Yao is my name. Why would I need to deceive you demons and monsters?"
Li Yao said calmly, "Young Master Hai, don't bother searching. Even if you search for a lifetime, you won't find any information about me."
"Oh dear, how could I forget about that!"
Xiao Bai slapped his forehead and suddenly understood.
