Li Yi sat with his eyes closed on the rooftop of the fortress, sitting there for eight days straight. During this period, silver lightning interwove around him, thunder incessantly roared, and the Divine Blood within him increased rapidly with the constant replenishment of Qi-Blood. As the Divine Blood in his body increased, he was undergoing a transformation towards a Divine physique. Li Yi felt that when his body was filled with Divine Blood and Golden Dragon Blood across the sixty acupoints, an unimaginable change would occur within himself. "My strength has increased so much compared to when I first arrived here. If I were to face a Sky Demon now, I would have a slight advantage compared to before. Moreover, the Mana within the acupoints has become much more vigorous... Although my strength has improved, only upon reaching the Great Perfection of the Five Qi Realm will there be a true qualitative change." He contemplated silently in his heart. All the accumulation now is for a brilliant flourish in the future. The Five Elements are lacking, the Tao Skill is deficient, the Divine Blood is insufficient, the Dragon and Tiger Power is not evident... all these are due to the too-rapid breakthroughs in the Incense Fire God world, and it will take some time to completely make up for it. However, on the morning of the ninth day, a loud voice suddenly rang out from a place on the defense line. This voice immediately caught the attention of Su Mu, as well as Tao Sheng, Pan Hongjie, and Lu Yi, who were stationed there. Over time, they had completely recovered, even though Su Mu’s soul was damaged, she was much better than before. Even though Li Yi didn’t require them to do anything, they still routinely patrolled the defense line daily. Thus, upon hearing this voice, they immediately appeared near the fortress. "Who are you?" Su Mu stared at the person shouting. Only to see a man of unusually burly and tall stature stride over, and before he even got close, an aura of immense strength and masculinity emanated towards them. Feeling this aura, Su Mu and those beside her couldn’t help but slightly change their expressions. "He should be a new master recruited recently, unseen on the defense line before. This person’s strength is formidable, seemingly not primarily cultivating the Evolution Method, but rather some other unknown Magic Door. From what I see, this person has likely reached the level of a Sky Demon." "I fear even the Sky Demon may not be his match; his appearance alone sets my soul on alert." "He’s here for Li Yi; could they be enemies? That would be unacceptable, as internal fighting is prohibited here; all grievances must be set aside. Only by working together to uphold the defense line can we confront this crisis." While they were speaking, the person had already arrived before them. Su Mu, without a word, immediately stepped forward to block: "Stop, this is the defense line we are stationed at. If you have nothing else, please leave immediately." "Li Yi, you bastard, you dared to stand me up! We agreed a month ago to have a duel, yet you disappeared for over three months. Today, no matter what, you must give me an explanation." Then this person shouted loudly, his resonant voice vibrating the air, causing one’s ears to buzz. At this moment, Li Yi, who was sitting on the rooftop, had already opened his eyes. He looked at Wang Hu, noticing his startling transformation over time. He was over two meters tall, muscles bulging all over, exuding an explosive power that induced awe. Anyone who didn’t know would think he was a warrior from the Barbaric World. "Have you come about the Incomplete Coin matter?" Li Yi said. "So you still remember," Wang Hu raised an eyebrow. "I came from far away specifically to find you, and this matter of the Sword Coin should have a resolution. What do you say, Li Yi?" "You sure are obsessed with this matter, chasing me all the way to the defense line. But look at the situation now; the people from the Demon God Realm are about to invade, yet you’re still after the Sword Coin." At this moment, Li Yi leaped down from the rooftop and landed steadily on the ground. "These are two separate matters. Since I came here, I didn’t intend to leave easily. Those scum from the Demon God Realm, I will deal with them, but as for the Sword Coin, I am determined to get it today," Wang Hu said. Upon hearing this, Li Yi said, "Alright then, it’s time to resolve everything from the past, so it doesn’t linger. Wang Hu, where is your half of the Sword Coin? Take it out, let’s see." Without a word, Wang Hu directly took out his half of the Sword Coin. His half of the Sword Coin was in notably better condition than Li Yi’s, emitting a faint bronze sheen once it was taken out. At this moment, Li Yi also took out the other half of the Sword Coin from the Five Elements Bracelet, but his Sword Coin was dim, as if it had been exhausted, because he once used it as an energy source to open the Cross-border Gate. Fortunately, he hadn’t used it a few more times, otherwise, this half of the Sword Coin would have been completely depleted, shattered, and vanished. "Good, make your move, Li Yi," Wang Hu grinned broadly. Li Yi said, "This time, how about we compete differently?" "How do you want to compete?" Wang Hu asked with his arms crossed. "No matter the competition, I will win." "Fighting here would be meaningless and could have undesirable effects. Let’s do it this way: give it twenty days, and let’s see who can hunt the most Sky Demons. The one with the higher count wins and must obediently hand over their remaining half of the Sword Coin. How about it?" Li Yi proposed. "Compete by counting Sky Demon hunts? Alright, I’m in," Wang Hu agreed without hesitation. "In twenty days, I want you to willingly hand over your half of the Sword Coin." Li Yi said, "I am concerned you might get killed by a Sky Demon, and your Sword Coin would be lost. It’s better to store it with someone to avoid me not getting it even if you lose." "That won’t be necessary; in the meantime, don’t cross the border again, or I won’t spare you," Wang Hu said very seriously, also expressing strong discontent. After all, Li Yi had stood him up once, and there’s no guarantee it wouldn’t happen again. "I have a duty to guard the defense line; I won’t be leaving here for a month," Li Yi assured. "That’s good then," Wang Hu snorted, then turned and left. Li Yi said nothing, only watching his departure. In truth, he could have avoided all this hassle, directly defeating Wang Hu and taking that half of the Incomplete Coin, then handing it over to Tu Daoist to see if it could be refined into a complete Sword Coin. After all, it was still a Miracle, and it seemed to contain some great secret, or else Wang Hu wouldn’t be so persistent about it. "Forget it, let’s talk in twenty days," Li Yi thought to himself. At least he had tricked Wang Hu into fighting the Sky Demons, which was a contribution to the defense line. "Alright, it’s over; you don’t need to worry about that person. He’s here for me, and he’s not really an enemy, it’s just some minor disagreement between us." Li Yi then waved his hand, indicating to Su Mu and the others to stand down. Su Mu and the others nodded, thinking as long as no fighting occurred within the defense line, it was fine. However, at that moment. The alarm, which had been silent for ten days, suddenly blared. Initially, it was just one alarm, but then a second, a third... countless alarms went off simultaneously. Moreover, the alarms transmitted the highest level of danger signal. With the appearance of this signal, Li Yi paused. He wasn’t knowledgeable about the distinctions in the signal, only glancing at Su Mu, Tao Sheng, Pan Hongjie, and Lu Yi. At this moment, Su Mu’s eyes suddenly narrowed, almost instinctively looking towards the direction of the defense line, then said, "This, this is a Great Demon invasion, and not just one Great Demon. Damn, what exactly happened for so many Great Demons to appear simultaneously?" At this moment, she was utterly panicked. Because since this defense line was established, nothing had ever happened. "Great Demon cross-border?" Upon hearing this, Li Yi’s expression also changed drastically, realizing the gravity of the situation.
