Wang Zhengyu, Song Yuhui, and several other fifth-rank electors were commanding and distributing personnel. Ding Lu and Ye Zihang, who were by Ji Jiayu's side and had only been distracted for a moment, suddenly realized something was wrong.
Ji Jiayu was gone!
"Brother Ji!"
"Jiayu!"
The two of them looked around and shouted, attracting the attention of Song Yuhui and the others.
"Where's Ji Jiayu?" They were also confused.
However, no one thought about "Ji Jiayu escaping." Because with his strength, if he wanted to escape, there wouldn't be any obstacles at all, and he wouldn't have needed to wait until now.
If he really wanted to escape, as long as he didn't suddenly encounter a sixth-rank Demon Venerable or a demon army, even if he were to spend ten or twenty days in the Holy Shine World, a demon army and a low-rank Demon Venerable wouldn't even be appetizers in front of him.
So, where did he go?
Just as everyone was at a loss, they suddenly discovered that among the demons, many demons wearing special black armor and wielding black weapons were leaving the battlefield and rushing north. They immediately understood Ji Jiayu's whereabouts and his choice, and their worry was evident on their faces.
Ye Zihang, who had always been talkative, fell silent.
He secretly hated himself for being weak. If he were stronger, he could have helped Ji Jiayu, and Ji Jiayu wouldn't have had to take the risk alone.
Ding Lu also kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, clenching his fists with both hands. Of the voters present, he was the weakest and had always been protected.
"We must help him!" There were five-level voters.
"There are five peak fifth-level Demon Venerables, and there's also a sixth-level Demon Venerable. He's going to die!"
"If he stays here, can he survive?" At the critical moment, Wang Zhengyu was the most decisive. "He knows that he's a crucial concern for the demons, and staying here will only increase the difficulty of our victory. Only when he leaves can we win. Be sober, don't fulfill his sacrifice!"
Wang Zhengyu's implication was that Ji Jiayu was already dead.
"In this situation, it's the king's responsibility to help him after resolving the battle here as soon as possible."
"That's five peak fifth-rank Demon Venerables and one sixth-rank Demon Venerable!" Someone sighed angrily.
"Ji Jiayu is very strong. We don't know how strong he is, but he's much stronger than us. Since he's doing this, there must be a reason. Let's protect ourselves first."
A number of fifth-rank selectors quickly gathered behind.
At this time, the selectors behind also learned that Ji Jiayu had lured a number of Demon Venerables to them, and they couldn't help but feel admiration and moved by his dedication for a moment.
But without exception, they all viewed Ji Jiayu's actions as a sacrifice. The chances of Ji Jiayu surviving were extremely low; after all, his opponents were simply too powerful.
Five peak fifth-level Demon Venerables were unknown, how much stronger they were than a mid-level fifth-level Demon Venerable, not to mention there was also a sixth-level Demon Venerable suppressing the formation.
But no matter how strong the opponent was, it would take time to kill them. Many voters were all excited.
In order to save Ji Jiayu and repay their kindness, they all fought hard, and for a time, the battle was as intense as the main battlefield of the Demon Clan and the Guangming Clan.
On the other side.
Ji Jiayu continued to step on thick tree trunks with his feet, quickly making his way to the bottom of the cliff he had previously noticed.
With his back to the cliff, Ji Jiayu had no way out, so he could only fight with his back to the water.
Seeing the five fifth-level Demon Venerables and a sixth-level Demon Venerable rushing from the opposite side, Ji Jiayu took a deep breath.
In today's battle, it was either they died or he died, and he had to use all means to fight at his best.
Ji Jiayu couldn't help but reach out and touch the red scar on his forehead, feeling complicated.
After the six demons surrounded them, they didn't concentrate their firepower on attacking Ji Jiayu immediately. After they had been communicating in demon language for a while, one of the peak fifth-level demon venerables suddenly stepped out of the queue and walked towards Ji Jiayu.
As he walked, he removed his armor, revealing a red face. Except for his skin color and the long horn on his forehead, he was almost identical to a human, both possessing a pair of eyes, a mouth, a nose, and two ears.
He spoke slowly, using human language.
"Introduce yourself, Fire Demon Clan, Yan Yan."
Hearing Yan Qi speak in human language, Ji Jiayu was slightly startled, but he quickly regained his composure. Cultivators' memory abilities were generally stronger than ordinary people, and they could learn many languages very easily.
"This time, I'm here to be your opponent, I hope you won't show mercy." Yan Qi narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Ji Jiayu stared at him expressionlessly.
In the next instant, Yan Zhi's body suddenly rose in the form of purple flames.
This purple flame-formed demon was clearly rarer and more powerful than other fifth-rank Demon Venerables. Just from his aura, Yan Zhi was at least two or three times stronger than the previous fifth-rank mid-rank Demon Venerable. This was an extremely exaggerated gap.
Was this a genius among demons?
After the demon flame enveloped his body, Yan Zhi drew two large black hammers from behind. The large hammers were instantly burned red by the demon flames, but they didn't change shape at all. Yan Zhi stomped on the ground like a giant and charged towards Ji Jiayu.
Ji Jiayu drew a spear from behind, imbued it with divine power, held it with both hands, first raising it high, and then smashing it down with a loud bang. The divine power grazed the tip of the spear, and the resulting weapon light exploded, creating a several-meter-deep crater as it swept across the ground. It was clearly incredibly powerful.
The spear struck the hammers, with the sound of metal clashing against metal. At the same time, Ji Jiayu's divine power began to erode the hammer. The Fifth-Rank Demon Venerable's demonic energy burned fiercely, burning away seventy to eighty percent of his divine power. Only a tiny bit remained on the hammer, forming tiny white spots.
If Ji Jiayu were to strike the same spot again, a hole would surely appear from the white spots.
Sensing the change in his hammer, Yan Zhi's expression changed. Ji Jiayu's strength was somewhat beyond his imagination, but he soon smiled and said, "Sure enough, your divine power purification ability is on par with a Seventh-Rank Ming Sheng. There's something!" After I kill you, I'll have to tear you apart to see what happens!"
As he spoke, he waved his hammer with both hands, leaped abruptly, and then fell from the sky, smashing heavily at Ji Jiayu.
The hammer pressed against the air, creating a burst of explosions.
Before the fifth-rank Demon Venerable landed, Ji Jiayu raised his eyes to look at him, and two golden beams shot out from them, shooting towards Yan Qian. Yan Zhi blocked the pair of iron hammers in front of him, and demonic energy poured towards them, resisting the impact of the divine beams.
Yan Zhi felt his demonic energy decay, his face a little ugly, and his boasting just now seemed to have smoked his face.
This human being was truly terrifying! A third-order realm, seventh-rank divine power, even his own top-tier purple flame demonic energy couldn't compete.
He had originally wanted to defeat Ji Jiayu alone and show off his strength in front of his friends, but what he never expected was that he might not be able to defeat the human being in front of him.
But at this point, he couldn't ask his friends for help anymore; that would be too embarrassing.
Yan Gu mobilized the demonic energy from his entire body to urge the demonic energy The demon suppressed Ji Jiayu's divine light, and the other finally fell in front of Ji Jiayu. At this moment, he no longer had the strength to smash Ji Jiayu with his hammer.
In contrast, Ji Jiayu, while attacking him with divine light, also wielded a black gun, and did not use any marksmanship, simply using it to unleash his divine power.
Even so, Yan Qi also felt immense pressure; this divine power was too threatening to him.
It was like when two ordinary humans fight, one side constantly splashing magma, and the other side could indeed hurt the other, but once burned by the magma, they would either die or be injured.
Several fifth-rank Demon Venerables behind him were chatting loudly.
Unknown to Yan Zhi, it was an illusion, but they vaguely heard them say, "The nobles of the Fire Demon Clan are like this."
Yan Qi was instantly enraged, abandoning his original plan of playing it safe. Two blood-red lines suddenly appeared on his right arm, extending all the way to his palm, then along his palm to his double hammers. The hammers, which were originally shrouded in demonic evil, suddenly burst into flames. Then, Yan Que's hammer swinging speed began to accelerate, and with a wave of his hand, the hammers completely transformed into shadows.
"Hammer Break!"
The overwhelming hammer shadows fell, and Ji Jiayu could only use the transparent world to react in time and use his black spear to resist. However, the black spear was too thin, and it actually began to bend under the impact of the broken hammer. The shockwave generated by the collision of the black weapon and hammer overturned one large tree after another, and the battle between the two gradually appeared before the voters.
When the electors saw Ji Jiayu struggling to resist under Yan Qian, they were all a little disturbed and worried, and some despaired. A fifth-level Demon Venerable, whom even Ji Jiayu couldn't contend with, was clearly a major monster in the demon race.
They were doomed this time.
"Boom!"
Under Yan Qian's continuous blows, the divine power within Ji Jiayu's body and beyond trembled. The divine power that had originally been gathered on the surface of his skin seemed to be infiltrating his bones, but it was extremely inefficient. This made Ji Jiayu a little disappointed. If Yan Qian were stronger, perhaps it could help him break through the shackles of his realm.
It should be noted that a priest reaching the third-order spirit stage is characterized by a sacred skin type; and at the fourth-level Ming Zun stage, a sacred bone will develop. When divine power penetrates the bones and is arranged according to certain mysterious laws, his speed, strength, and defense will be greatly enhanced.
The hammering continued, and after a few blows, the black spear in Ji Jiayu's hand shattered with a loud bang. The moment the black spear broke, he wielded half of his left and right hands, and suddenly stabbed Yan Zhi's shoulders in front of him. The divine power of the black spear burst out, causing Yan Zhi to immediately retreat.
Outsiders saw Yan Gu's fierce attack, seemingly powerful, but in reality, he had exhausted a great deal of demonic energy and demonic malice, unable to sustain a prolonged battle. On the other hand, Ji Jiayu's divine power was bottomless, and he showed no signs of exhaustion whatsoever.
And what made Yan Qi even more helpless was that with his hammer strike, Ji Jiayu actually advanced towards the fourth rank!
Yan Qi retreated, but Ji Jiayu began to pursue. He drew his black spear again, and at the same time, divine light shot out from his eyes.
Yan Zhi blocked the double hammers in front of him, his demonic energy fully exposed, and at the same time, he shouted a few words of demonic language to the fifth-rank Demon Venerable behind him, seemingly asking for help.
Seeing that the fifth-level Demon Venerables were about to besiege Ji Jiayu, the voters were both excited and anxious. They were excited because they saw that the demon clan powerhouses were no match for Ji Jiayu, being toyed with by him. They were also anxious because under the siege of five fifth-level Demon Venerables, Ji Jiayu was bound to lose.
Unlike the voters, who were filled with complex emotions and many thoughts, at this moment, Ji Jiayu, who was about to face the siege of five peak fifth-level Demon Venerables, was very calm, but he felt some regret in his heart.
Yan Gu's broken hammer failed to break his bottleneck, so he could only use his trump card.
"Alas." He sighed lightly.
At the most critical moment, he gathered his divine power and returned to normal.
However, seeing this scene, a sixth-level Demon Venerable not far away suddenly felt a sense of alarm. His expression changed, and he wanted to shout, but it was too late.
