"Ah!"
A wave of pressure, overwhelming and vast, descended.
Even Yun Lang could barely withstand it.
Much less the others. If they hadn't channeled their inner energy to resist, their blood vessels would likely have burst.
"Hahaha! Is this all you've got?"
The Demon Lord scoffed.
He clearly held them in contempt, for dealing with the person before him was too simple.
As long as one possessed sufficient strength, they could eliminate them.
"You..."
Everyone was stunned.
They had witnessed it with their own eyes; if there was danger, it wouldn't be this simple.
But alas, no one could change the current situation.
If danger arose, they would still worry, but they didn't know how to resolve it.
"Can... can it be that we all die here?"
Yun Lang exclaimed in surprise.
With the enhancement of the Demon Dragon, the Demon Lord's power had soared, making them utterly incapable of fighting back.
"No! We cannot die, we must live on."
At this point, even if they harbored worries, there was no longer any need to hesitate.
Everyone understood their stance, and they certainly couldn't give up so easily.
"I..."
Facing the irresistible pressure, Yun Lang's expression grew increasingly grim.
Ding!
[System detects host being provoked, heart continuously strengthening.]
At the crucial moment, the system's prompt suddenly rang out.
At that instant, Yun Lang's heart suddenly became several times stronger.
Moreover, his entire body's strength surged, feeling as if it would burst.
Boom!
An explosion.
The oppressive aura from before was suddenly shattered by him.
"What!"
"You... how did you do that?"
The Demon Lord's face was filled with shock.
He had never expected such an outcome; after all, they all had their doubts.
If trouble arose, it would be something they could not accept.
"Hmph! You think you can deal with me?"
With this unexpected turn of events, no one could respond.
However, even so, they still had their concerns; ultimately, they each had their own thoughts.
"Demon Lord, die!"
Yun Lang roared.
He then vanished from his spot, reappearing directly before the Demon Lord.
Swish!
Several sword energies instantly shot towards the Demon Lord.
"Impossible!"
The Demon Lord's face turned ashen with terror.
If he didn't resist, they would all be doomed.
With no other option, he had to strike back.
Boom!
A mass of black energy intercepted his Wuji Sword Arts.
But the Demon Lord, due to the immense force, was forced to retreat two steps.
"Wuji Sword Arts! Truly formidable."
Even when fighting the Elder of the Heavenly Dao, he had never encountered such a situation.
Yet, he never expected the person before him to possess such immense power.
If things continued like this, it would not be as simple as they imagined.
"Hmph! There's more where that came from."
Yun Lang sneered.
Without any strength, none of them would have a choice.
But unfortunately, with the Demon Dragon now involved, defeating the Demon Lord was almost impossible.
Roar!
Just as Yun Lang was about to launch another attack, the Demon Dragon suddenly intervened.
"Damn it!"
Yun Lang cursed.
He immediately moved to engage the Demon Dragon, thus giving the Demon Lord an opportunity to escape.
"Hahaha, remember this, I will surely exact vengeance for today's blood feud!"
Controlled by the Demon Lord, the Demon Dragon vanished from the scene.
The Demon Lord's voice lingered long after.
"Bother! He escaped."
"If he didn't escape, would you have been a match for him?"
The disheveled Han Weiguo mocked.
If Yun Lang hadn't intervened at the critical moment, they would all have perished by the Demon Dragon's claws.
To think they still wanted to deal with the Demon Lord now was pure fantasy.
"Alright, stop arguing. The Demon Lord has appeared, and with the Demon Dragon, he is even harder to deal with."
"What do you mean?"
"Are you saying the Demon Dragon is more powerful than the Blood Demon?"
Su Xin asked, confused.
Back in the Demon Cave, they had pushed the Blood Demon into a corner, forcing him to resort to self-destruction.
Now, with the appearance of the Demon Dragon, even if its power was great, it was only at the third level of the Golden Core realm.
Compared to the Blood Demon, the difference was significant.
It was precisely because of this that they began to feel troubled, even fearing the appearance of even more formidable beings.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about this. We should focus on dealing with the Demon Lord."
"But... but where did the Demon Lord go?"
Han Weiguo asked, bewildered.
The Demon Lord had left riding the Demon Dragon; neither its speed nor its power was something they could stop.
Even if they intercepted them now, it would likely be in vain.
"Hmph! Do you think he has any other place to go besides the Demon Cave?"
"This..."
The three were stunned.
They hadn't expected Yun Lang to be able to predict their destination.
"That's right, the Demon Cave is his lair, he must have returned there."
Considering the Demon Lord's departure and his newfound aid from the Demon Dragon, he would naturally return to recuperate.
By the time his cultivation recovered, even the resurrected Elder of the Heavenly Dao might not be able to deal with him.
"Let's not delay, we must depart quickly."
"Yes!"
His companions nodded.
They all knew the power of the Demon Dragon and certainly wouldn't give the Demon Lord a chance to catch his breath.
"Yun Lang, do you have confidence?"
At this point, Su Xin had to inquire about Yun Lang's strength.
If he couldn't match the Demon Lord later, they would all die there.
"Then... then what do we do?"
This situation posed an even greater threat to them.
However, in their current state, they wouldn't give up.
If something unexpected happened, their attitude would certainly not be like this.
Seeing this, it couldn't help but make them feel troubled. They were all intelligent individuals and certainly didn't want to see danger again.
"I don't have confidence, but I will fight with all I have."
"What!"
"No... no confidence."
Han Weiguo, who was preparing to leave, froze.
Even Su Xin looked at Yun Lang with confusion, surprised that he would admit to lacking confidence.
If this were true, wouldn't it be even more worrisome? This much was clear.
"That's right, but you don't need to be nervous. It's not impossible to deal with them."
"This..."
They were left stunned.
Going into something without confidence was akin to rushing to their deaths.
Moreover, they would be facing a formidable expert like the Demon Lord, and who knew how long they could last.
