In a flash, Yu Lei instinctively felt a sense of danger.
Just then, a stream of light flew out from Yu Lei's bosom, showering down a thick, heavy aura of Xuanhuang Qi, blocking the sneak attack!
The Xuanhuang Pa was protecting its master!
Yu Lei breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a surge of anger.
He had been ambushed?
If not for the Xuanhuang Pa, he might have been injured by now.
Yu Lei looked up and saw two figures with monstrous auras, staring at him from a distance.
One had a bull's horn on its head, while the other sported a pair of ram horns.
Clearly, a bull demon and a ram demon, both at the early True Immortal Realm.
It was these two great demons who had just ambushed him!
Yu Lei spoke coldly, "What kind of demon dares to ambush me? You're courting death, tell me your names!"
The two demons, their sneak attack unsuccessful, exchanged glances when they heard Yu Lei's voice, and said viciously.
"Ignorant little brat, you're still mouthy even when death is upon you? I am Jin Da Sheng of Mei Mountain!"
"I am Yang Xian of Mei Mountain, young one, surrender your treasure, and I will give you a swift death!"
The two demons stared at Yu Lei, their eyes gleaming, as if they had him completely under their control.
Yu Lei was slightly stunned when he heard them announce themselves.
The Water Buffalo Demon and the Mountain Goat Demon, of the Seven Monsters of Mei Mountain?
He had encountered them so soon!
Could it be that the commotion he caused at the Xuanyuan Temple had attracted them?
Yu Lei pondered for a moment, but it didn't seem likely.
In fact, this place was not far from Mei Mountain, otherwise those two demons wouldn't have occupied the clay sculptures of the Ghost Emissaries at the Xuanyuan Temple.
Jin Da Sheng and Yang Xian before him were actually drawn here by the fluctuations caused when Yu Lei broke through the innate restriction of the Heavenly Cave Wonderland.
After arriving, they didn't dare to enter the Heavenly Cave, not knowing Yu Lei's strength.
It was only when Yu Lei emerged from the Heavenly Cave that they discovered he was merely a Heavenly Immortal, and they brazenly launched a surprise attack, aiming to kill him and seize his treasures.
Unfortunately, they didn't expect Yu Lei to not only have a Xiantian Lingbao (innate spiritual treasure) to protect him, but also to be a Heavenly Immortal-level body cultivator.
Even if they had successfully ambushed him, Yu Lei would have only sustained minor injuries.
Yu Lei now realized that if it was truly related to the two demons at the Xuanyuan Temple, then there might be more than just Jin Da Sheng and Yang Xian.
It seemed that Jin Da Sheng and Yang Xian before him had simply been attracted by the activity when the Heavenly Cave Wonderland was opened.
Thinking this, Yu Lei breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't afraid of most of the Seven Monsters of Mei Mountain, but Yuan Hong was someone with the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, who could fight evenly with Yang Jian.
If he encountered him now, he would be in danger.
As for Jin Da Sheng and Yang Xian in front of him, though both True Immortals, they were only one realm higher than him.
He could easily deal with them.
Yu Lei's thoughts raced, while on the other side, Jin Da Sheng and Yang Xian were already growing impatient.
These two demons, though of average lineage, had obtained Dao in the reign of the Heavenly Emperor. They had enjoyed power and prestige in Mei Mountain for years and couldn't possibly regard Yu Lei, a Heavenly Immortal, in their eyes.
Jin Da Sheng, wielding a three-pronged halberd and riding a unicorn, roared, "You little brat, are you stunned by my might? If so, don't struggle in vain, I'll send you to your doom!"
With that, he slapped the unicorn, brandishing his halberd and slashing at Yu Lei.
On the other side, Yu Lei's expression remained calm, but his heart was already itching for a fight.
Slaying those two Heavenly Immortal demons had been a mere warm-up for him.
Only fighting above his realm would truly challenge him!
As he saw Jin Da Sheng charging towards him, Yu Lei didn't take a step back, but instead swung his sword to meet him!
Clang!
The sword and halberd clashed, a ringing metallic sound echoing through the air.
Yu Lei stood firm, but Jin Da Sheng felt his hands numb, nearly losing his grip on the three-pronged halberd!
"Hiss, this guy has incredible strength!"
Jin Da Sheng was secretly shocked. He was a demon who had become a Water Buffalo, with natural immense strength. His realm was higher than his opponent's, but he couldn't gain the upper hand?
At the same time, Yu Lei had a clear understanding of his own physical strength.
The body of a Heavenly Immortal at its peak could move mountains and fill seas, in terms of strength alone.
Even the demon race, known for their strength, would be no match for him in terms of brute force, even if they were a realm higher, unless they had specifically cultivated body-tempering techniques.
Yu Lei's mind raced, but his movements never stopped.
Having tested his physical strength, Yu Lei silently unleashed his Law power.
The Law of Gengjin!
In an instant, Yu Lei's Zhuolu Sword seemed to be covered in a dazzling golden light, sharp and unparalleled, illuminating everything around it!
Jin Da Sheng, who was the first to bear the brunt, felt his hairs stand on end.
He hadn't even been hit, only bathed in the golden light, and yet he felt a faint stinging sensation all over his body!
Jin Da Sheng knew something was wrong, but Yu Lei didn't give him a chance to hesitate. His Zhuolu Sword, with its unparalleled sharpness, charged forward and slashed down!
Swoosh!
One strike, and Jin Da Sheng's three-pronged halberd snapped in two!
And Yu Lei's Zhuolu Sword didn't stop, slashing through Jin Da Sheng's chest in one stroke, nearly ripping him open!
Jin Da Sheng sprayed demon blood, his entire body in excruciating pain, nearly falling to the ground.
Seeing Yu Lei swinging his sword towards him again, Jin Da Sheng hastily opened his mouth and spat out a bowl-sized Bezoar.
The Bezoar was refined within Jin Da Sheng's abdomen, containing his essence and having tremendous power.
Spitting it out at this moment, it shot towards Yu Lei like a fireball!
Yu Lei raised an eyebrow slightly, activating the Xuanhuang Pa, which lowered streams of Xuanhuang Qi, blocking the Bezoar.
At the same time, Jin Da Sheng retreated frantically, while calling for help.
"Old Seven, save me!"
Their exchange of blows had been rapid, lasting only a flash. It seemed slow, but in reality, it was done in the blink of an eye.
Yang Xian, who had just reacted, saw his third brother gravely injured after two exchanges, and only then understood that he had met a tough opponent!
Even so, Yang Xian still charged forward.
He rode his horse and brandished his halberd, spitting out a beam of white light towards Yu Lei.
Yu Lei remained unmoved, the Xuanhuang Pa covered his head, streams of Xuanhuang Qi effortlessly blocking the white light.
"A Xiantian Lingbao (innate spiritual treasure)!"
Yang Xian's eyes widened, a mixture of greed and fear filling his heart.
The opponent effortlessly blocked his life essence, but his realm was lower. The treasure had to be a Xiantian Lingbao (innate spiritual treasure)!
The Seven Monsters of Mei Mountain had some fame, but ultimately they were just mountain spirits and demons, with no real treasures.
Therefore, Yang Xian didn't dare to linger. Even though the opponent was only a Heavenly Immortal, he was protected by a Xiantian Lingbao (innate spiritual treasure), and not someone they could mess with.
Even if they wanted revenge, they would need to call their eldest brother, Yuan Hong.
Yang Xian rushed over to Jin Da Sheng, helping his heavily injured third brother to retreat.
Yu Lei chuckled softly, "Thinking of leaving now, it seems a bit late."
As his voice faded, the Xuanhuang Law activated!
