Starting as a complete failure, he leads the demon race to sweep across the lower realm.

Chapter 42 Back to reality

When Li Yang regained consciousness, the entire world was filled with tinnitus! She woke up suddenly as if from a nightmare, and the moment she opened her eyes, a deep blue light instantly engulfed her!

"Well!"

Li Yang struggled desperately, but it felt as if something cold was binding her feet, gripping her tightly like a deadly hand.

Suddenly, a magnified face appeared before her eyes, and Li Yang's eyes filled with surprise, almost bringing tears to her eyes. She felt the other person's hands gently holding her ankles.

Soon, she was able to move her feet again.

Li Yang held her breath and swam upwards with all her might. Just as she kicked out, her knee hit something. A string of bubbles floated past her. Li Yang thought for a moment but ignored it and swam upwards with all her might.

Ji Cang was hit right in the eye by her knee. It took him a while to recover and open his eyes, but the heartless brat had already run far away.

Ji Cang sighed inwardly and turned to swim downstream.

The dragon's skeleton still stands, its left eye still emitting a ghostly blue light.

Ji Cangyou moved closer and raised his finger to touch the sapphire.

Silver Door, your illusion should end.

The ghostly power at his fingertips resonated with his ghostly eyes, quickly transforming into a beam of blue light that flew back into Ji Cang's eyes.

Ji Cang closed his eyes and then opened them again, taking one last look at the dragon skeleton before turning around to swim upstream.

He had only swum a couple of steps when he saw a familiar figure swimming anxiously toward him, reaching him in the blink of an eye.

Li Yang gently placed her hands in his arms. Ji Cang was somewhat surprised and subconsciously wrapped his arms around Li Yang's waist, carrying her and quickly swimming upwards.

"call!"

Finally, Li Yang's head broke the surface of the water. He took several deep breaths and was pulled to the shore by Ji Cang. Several people who had been waiting on the water rushed over and pulled them up together.

"Silly girl, didn't you go upstairs? Why are you coming down again!"

Li Yang was soaking wet and could barely lift her eyelids. "I came up and didn't see you. I was afraid you would drown."

Ji Cang's eyelids were still throbbing. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but it turned into a sigh. "Don't worry about me next time. I'm much better than a little girl like you."

The white bird helped Li Yang up and pulled her to its side, carefully using its magic to dry her clothes.

"Meow……"

The ethereal cat hid to the side, tucked its tail between its legs, and meowed softly. Immediately, Li Yang heard the ethereal cat's aggrieved voice in his mind.

"Demon King, do you know how scared I was? You all suddenly disappeared, leaving only me—oops, I'm just a cat left in the water. I thought you were all eaten by that dragon bone!"

Li Yang glanced around.

It was night. She and the white bird sat on a large rock. Not far away, Mo Yixing, Zeng Xu, and Li Su were sitting by the fire. The flying tiger was sleeping next to the fire. Ji Cang was standing by the pool with his hands behind his back.

"What's with the pretentious, profound poet act?" Li Yang thought to himself.

A cold wind blew by, and Li Yang's thin body shivered. She jumped off the big rock to warm herself by the fire, but then she suddenly remembered something, and her expression turned ugly.

"How long have you been grilling it?"

Mo Yixing looked up in confusion, "We came out early, and you've only come up now after roasting for almost two hours."

Geek!

Li Yang pointed at the rising smoke, her lips twitching. "Have you forgotten that we're still hiding from Lin Shuo and those evil people?"

boom……

Silence was their resounding answer.

Zeng Xu was about to cry, "What should we do?!"

Ji Cang walked to Li Yang's side, his deep pupils slightly darkening. "They...are coming soon."

Li Yang's head was buzzing. "Then what are you all still sitting there for! Get up and run!"

"Hehehehehe! Why are you running?"

The black fog, visible to the naked eye, swept in like a ferocious beast, extinguishing the warm fire in an instant, and the smell of burning filled everyone's minds like an alarm bell being rung.

Li Yang snapped her fingers, and a cluster of pink flames rose in her palm. Just as she was about to speak, a large hand suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her backward, because a terrifying claw was already in front of her!

A flicker of regret crossed Lin Shuo's eyes as he bent down and continued charging towards them.

Ji Cang tossed Li Yang to the side of the Flying Tiger with a flick of his arm, "Keep an eye on her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gathered spiritual energy in his hand and quickly withstood Lin Shuo's attack!

Bai Niao glanced at Li Yang and flew off to help!

Mo Yixing and Zeng Xu glanced at Li Yang, "What should we do...?"

Li Yang gave them a cold look, then flicked her hand to summon the Peach Moon Fan. At that moment, four black figures flew out from behind Lin Shuo.

"Ethereal Cat, keep an eye on them! Flying Tiger, let's go help!"

"Roar!"

The Flying Tooth Tiger had been poised to strike for a long time. With a flick of its long wings, it flung the two men into the pool. With a roar, it stomped its front paws, and the ground in front of it cracked open, filled with lava!

The crack spread behind Ji Cang, who quickly jumped back, and Lin Shuo, unable to dodge in time, sank into the scalding mud.

"Roar!"

The Flying Tooth Tiger stomped the ground again, and the closing crack tightly bit half of Lin Shuo's body!

Lin Shuo's other two companions were held back by Bai Niao. The two exchanged a glance, one of them flashed away and rushed towards Lin Shuo, while the other's attacks became faster and faster!

Bai Niao's expression was not good. Having experienced the ancient evil race led by the ancient evil god, the current evil race is even more powerful. Their bodies are almost impervious to blades and spears, but their attacks do inflict real injuries on Bai Niao. Although he will not be assimilated, the injuries he suffers make him increasingly difficult to fight!

The two people who had been thrown into the pool were almost able to climb out when Ji Cang suddenly turned around and stared at Li Yang, who was rushing over to help. "Take them away!"

Li Yang stopped abruptly. "What about you? You can't beat them!"

Ji Cang frowned, his eyes constantly fixed on the battle. "We can protect ourselves, but your presence will distract us. Take them away quickly!"

Flying Tooth Tiger gritted his teeth and roared, "Girl, run! I can't hold on much longer!"

Li Yang gritted her teeth, gripped the Peach Moon Fan tightly in her hand, and turned around.

"let's go!"

Ji Cang breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, this silly girl was obedient.

With the help of his companions, Lin Shuo finally managed to pull himself out of the ground. He stood up with a heavy push with one hand, and several deep cracks immediately appeared under his feet!

Lin Shuo's voice escaped through clenched teeth, "Don't even think about leaving!"

Li Yang glanced back, and Ji Cang's mind immediately went into alert mode: was she planning to stay?

Li Yang gave Lin Shuo a mocking smile, put away the Peach Moon Fan, turned and ran, leaving only one sentence that disappeared into the wind!

"Lin Shuo, you couldn't beat me when you were alive, and even in this wretched state, you still can't defeat Ji Cang!"

"what!!!"

Lin Shuo's fists clenched so tightly they trembled. "Li Yang!!! Are you just waiting?! I'll grind you to dust!"

Ji Cang's lips curled up, he flipped his hand into a claw and knelt on one knee, his raised eyes filled with coldness, a flash of blue light in his left eye, "Dare to touch that stupid girl, then you'll have to suffer here first!"

Ghostly howls filled the air, and the surrounding air suddenly turned cold!
