The fierce battle erupted!
However, the terrifyingly strong medicine-seeking man had absolutely no interest in participating in the chaotic melee. Instead, his cold gaze locked onto Yinzhi in the distance, and he lunged straight toward her!
“Damn it! Stop!”
Seeing this, the Demon Prince grew even more anxious than Qimeng. He dispatched more than half of his elite forces to intercept the medicine-seeking man, swearing to protect Yinzhi at all costs!
Witnessing this scene, Qimeng's clever mind whirled, and she instantly understood.
“So that's how it is...”
With a flash of her figure, Qimeng actually reached a bizarre, unspoken understanding with the medicine-seeking man!
One in front of the other, they simultaneously unleashed a devastating barrage of attacks toward Yinzhi!
To protect this life-extending medicine, the Demon Prince's elite troops had no choice but to use their own bodies to shield her, absorbing the dark magic of both Qimeng and the medicine-seeking man. Hesitant to strike back for fear of hitting Yinzhi, their coordination collapsed, leaving them incredibly frustrated!
Yinzhi, who was being protected behind the Demon Prince, was completely dumbfounded. She screamed internally:
Lord Spirit Lord, you really know how to play!
The demons are desperately trying to protect me, while my own master is actually attacking me! Who is the real enemy here?!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dark Spells exploded everywhere within the crowd!
“How... how is this possible?!”
“How can a little tree demon use so many Dark Spells?! What kind of monster is she?!”
The elite soldiers were utterly routed, their eyes filled with shock!
Shadow Flow: Thousand Thorn Array! Bone-Eroding Purple Flame Storm! Blood Grudge: Armor-Piercing Flying Blades!
In just a few short minutes, Qimeng waved her small hands repeatedly, tossing out over a dozen signature spells from different demon territories as if they cost nothing!
In the demon territories, the Dark Spells of various domains and legion commanders differed. While not exactly top secret, an ordinary magical beast would be considered a genius if they could master just one type of dark spell after ten years of training.
Yet the tree demon girl before them cast them with absolute fluidity, and their power was immense!
“Casting the dark spells of over a dozen territories all at once?! How on earth did she do that?!”
“Just learning one is hard enough. How terrifying is her comprehension?!”
“Could she be... the reincarnation of a Demon King?!”
The pursuers were pale with fright!
They could never have dreamed that Qimeng hadn't spent any time trying to comprehend them at all.
All of these had been directly plundered from the memory fragments of the demons back at the camp!
Though in her own eyes, these insights were a hodgepodge and amounted to nothing more than a mismatched arsenal of spells rather than true mastery, in the eyes of outsiders, she seemed like a grand magical beast who knew everything!
The only drawback was that it consumed too much mana.
In just this short span of time, she had already burned through three Advanced magic stones.
“But the results are outstanding.”
Under the combined onslaught of Qimeng and the medicine-seeking man, the Demon Prince's defensive line abruptly collapsed!
“Insolent fools! Forcing this prince to act personally!!”
The Demon Prince was furious, and his mana erupted!
As a Mid-tier Extraordinary Rank pure-blood noble, his mana was far beyond what the previous commander could compare to!
【Dark Secret Art: Black Bone Magic Armor】
Night Tide!
Pitch-black bone armor enveloped his entire body as thick dark mana swept outward, forcefully repelling all surrounding attacks!
As his domineering lord spell expanded, he actually withstood the joint offensive of Qimeng and the medicine-seeking man!
“Tsk, he's certainly a lot tougher than the last one.”
Qimeng narrowed her eyes, glancing at the medicine-seeking man not far from her.
This guy's strength was unfathomable—at least that of a High-tier Extraordinary Rank powerhouse. Currently acting as the primary vanguard, he was locked in a fierce, deadlock battle with the Demon Prince.
Suddenly!
Boom!
The violent red-and-black mana enveloping the medicine-seeking man clashed fiercely with the Demon Prince's black bone mana!
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, the Demon Prince's face suddenly contorted into a savage grin, and he roared toward his side.
“Now! If we don't act, we all die!!”
The spectating demons were dazed.
“Who is he calling out to?!”
In the next second, the answer was revealed!
Swoosh!
The black demonic blade in Qimeng's hand slashed straight toward the neck of the medicine-seeking man beside her!
“Hmph! Foolish brat who doesn't know her place!”
Catching sight of the black blade out of the corner of his eye, the medicine-seeking man's gaze was filled with disdain.
“An Advanced Rank magical beast thinks she can pierce my physical defense?”
However, he never could have expected that Qimeng's blade was already coated in a thin, seemingly unremarkable layer of frost!
The passive frost derivative skill of the Water Core: Zero Friction!
A cheat-like cutting effect that applied directly to the slicing edge!
Under this defense-ignoring attack, any physical body was as fragile as paper.
The bizarrely named move that Qimeng called 【Myriad Manifestations: Butter Slash】 erupted with an astonishing, spectacular effect!
Squelch!
“Aaaaah?!”
A shrill, agonizing scream rang out!
To the medicine-seeking man's utter disbelief, his supposedly invulnerable arm was severed by Qimeng as effortlessly as slicing through butter!
“My arm! You damned tree demon!!”
Suffering a heavy blow, the medicine-seeking man went wild. His red-and-black mana exploded outward, throwing off the Demon Prince. With a palm strike that forced Qimeng back, he snatched up his severed arm and fled into the dense forest without looking back!
The watching demons couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Wait! Those two were just cooperating to kill enemies a second ago, so how did they backstab each other so suddenly?! Who is the real enemy here?!
Even Yinzhi cried out in confusion internally.
However, both Qimeng and the Demon Prince knew very well that the medicine-seeking man was the greatest threat on the field.
Neither of them would gain any advantage in a one-on-one fight. Teaming up to cripple and drive him away first was the best choice!
And now, it was time to clean up the rest of the mess!
Qimeng landed gracefully using the recoil force, leaving behind an afterimage with Hazy Moon Step, and shot a look at Yinzhi in the distance.
Understanding the signal, Yinzhi immediately pretended to flee in a panic.
And then, by a very convenient coincidence, she ran straight into Qimeng, who had flashed over!
“Caught you.”
Qimeng scooped up Yinzhi, and the two plunged straight into the gloomy, dense forest!
“Damn it! Chase them! Capture that tree demon and bring the Spirit Maiden back to me!!”
The Demon Prince roared in a fit of rage.
However, the moment she stepped into the dense forest, Qimeng smiled.
Once inside the forest... this was the home turf she had prepared in advance.
【Territory: Black Thorn Legion!】
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Vitality was injected into the earth, and dozens of active black thorn treants—nearly two meters tall and covered in sharp thorns—burst forth from the ground!
“Kill them! Kill them all! Whoever kills that tree demon and retrieves the Wood Elf Spirit Maiden will be rewarded with a thousand Advanced magic stones by this prince!!”
The Demon Prince bellowed from outside the forest.
Hearing the massive reward, the greedy demon bounty hunters rushed into the forest with bloodshot eyes!
However, the more enemies that entered, the wider Qimeng's smile grew.
Come, you are all nothing but nourishment for this lord!
Standing in the dense forest, Qimeng felt the natural mana flowing back into her. Like a walking fountain of infinite mana, she directly activated her lethal array!
Thick mist surged out of thin air, enveloping the woodland in the blink of an eye!
【Forbidden Mist Zone: Life Ash】
The pervasive, highly toxic poison within the mist forced the cellular metabolism of the enemies to detonate!
While it couldn't instantly kill Advanced Rank magical beasts, it was more than enough to inflict agonizing pain and completely disrupt their combat rhythm!
“Ah? My body... it's burning up and breaking down?!”
“Poison! There's poison in this mist, aaah!!”
The demons who had rushed in screamed repeatedly, struggling within the toxic mist!
Following that, Qimeng's beautiful eyes turned cold as she unleashed her consecutive killing moves!
【Myriad Manifestations: Bewildering Flower Mirror Realm】
This was a composite technique combining Demonic Eye Illusion with the Water Core.
Ice crystals and water vapor refracted into a dreamlike sea of flowers.
The demons who rushed in lost all sense of direction, fighting among themselves in their hallucinations, only to be slaughtered in droves by the water threads hidden within the mist!
