CHAPTER 796: CHAPTER 793: PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR PERFORMANCE!

"Chen, Yu Emperor City is so vast, where should we start searching?"

Lian Hongshang looked around bewildered, asking Li Chen.

Yu Emperor City was so large that the two of them felt like headless flies, scouring the area for a long time but still unable to find any useful clues.

Originally, Li Chen had hoped to rely on the Qingzhou Tripod Spirit to sense similar artifacts for exploration.

However, unexpectedly, this little guy was just like intermittent crashing, losing signal from time to time. It made Li Chen slightly doubt whether it was reliable at all.

Just as Li Chen was deep in thought, his ears suddenly twitched.

"There’s something happening on that street!"

Lian Hongshang followed the direction Li Chen was pointing and replied, "I just saw the Little Demoness heading this way, could it be her..."

Before she could finish, she turned her questioning gaze towards Li Chen.

Li Chen met her gaze, nodded, and said, "Let’s go and check it out!"

Inside a sinister and eerie castle, the Little Demon Immortal was sitting on a Lotus Platform, battling a Stone Dragon whose size spanned several dozens of meters.

This Stone Dragon was also a puppet, but it was one of the top-tier Earth Demon Puppets, extremely formidable. In front of it, the Little Demon Immortal felt somewhat like an ant trying to shake a tree.

However, the Lotus Platform she was seated on was a Top-grade Magical Treasure, capable of both offense and defense, and her movement technique also gave her an absolute advantage. Therefore, though it seemed she was at a disadvantage, if it was just about preserving herself, it was more than enough.

At least, if the Little Demon Immortal wanted to leave the battlefield, given her speed of movement technique, there was absolutely no way this gigantic Stone Dragon could catch up with her.

But the pride of the Demon Princess wouldn’t allow her to flee the battlefield.

"Damn you, big fellow, this lady doesn’t believe she can’t handle you!"

The Little Demon Immortal furrowed her brows, brought her hands together, and began to form a Lotus Seal in her palm.

Under her mental command, the lotus bud blossomed with the wind.

One petal, two petals, three petals... until all seven petals were fully bloomed.

"Great Bright Lotus Seal!"

The Little Demon Immortal softly raised her hand, angrily and delicately shouting.

This lotus, hitting the Stone Dragon, made a thunderous collision sound, crackling loudly.

"Hmph, that’s what you get for opposing this lady!"

The Little Demon Immortal, seeing she had succeeded, her beautiful eyes turning into crescents as she smiled.

However, in the next instant, she was stunned.

"Roar!"

Not only was the Stone Dragon not dead, its aura climbed even higher, surpassing its earlier state.

"This, this, how is this possible?"

Seeing this scene, the Little Demon Immortal was shocked, her face full of disbelief.

You see, her strike just now, even a fourth-level Middle Stage Demon Beast would undoubtedly die.

"Hehe, who do I think it is, turns out it’s the Little Demoness!"

Just then, a cold laugh sounded not far away, floating over.

The person was none other than Li Chen and Lian Hongshang.

The now cold-eyed Little Demon Immortal responded, "What, you specifically came here to watch me be ridiculed?"

Li Chen nodded and said, "Yeah, specifically came to watch the show!"

After speaking, he waved at the Little Demon Immortal again, saying, "Little Demoness, don’t stop, please continue your spectacular performance!"

Hearing the teasing in Li Chen’s words, the Little Demon Immortal was so angry she gritted her teeth and stomped fiercely.

"Damn you, if you can do it, you try, stop making sarcastic remarks!"

Li Chen looked at the Stone Dragon and asked, "What’s the benefit if I manage to kill this thing?"

The Little Demon Immortal, with roving eyes full of allure, countered, "What benefit do you want?"

Li Chen thought for a while and said, "I want you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Little Demon Immortal suddenly crossed her arms over her chest and repeatedly stepped back.

"You beast! Shameless, daring to covet me!"

Even Lian Hongshang gawked, pinching Li Chen hard, which left him utterly speechless.

Li Chen looked at the Little Demon Immortal, who wasn’t much bigger than Anran, and grimly said, "Little demoness, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t have such a heavy taste; I meant that I want you to agree to a condition!"

Upon seeing Li Chen’s disgusted expression, the Little Demon Immortal widened her eyes again, huffing, "Hey, what do you mean by that? Who are you looking down on?"

"Uh?"

Li Chen, face full of embarrassment, waved his hands, saying, "Forget what I said!"

Having finished, he made a motion as if he were about to leave.

Seeing Li Chen about to leave, the Little Demon Immortal called out to his retreating figure, "Hey, don’t go! Tell me, what condition do you want me to agree to?"

Hearing the Little Demon Immortal stop him, Li Chen then halted, turned towards her, and earnestly said, "I help you once, and you help me once in return!"

With her large eyes twinkling, the Little Demon Immortal asked, "Is it that simple?"

"If you think that’s too little, how about twice?"

Li Chen stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of the Little Demon Immortal.

"Tch, dream on. You’re only helping me once, why should I help you twice?"

The Little Demon Immortal put her hands on her hips, looking frustrated.

Watching the playful and cute Little Demon Immortal, Li Chen simply smiled without speaking further.

Soon after, he redirected his gaze towards the Stone Dragon.

"Insight!"

Li Chen’s pupils suddenly narrowed, emitting two sharp gleams, resembling the X-rays used in hospital examinations, as he scanned the Stone Dragon’s meridians in search of its Life Gate.

Such a puppet, if one cannot locate the Life Gate and destroy it in one fell swoop, is essentially an undying entity.

Just like the blow dealt by the Little Demon Immortal previously; had it been a Demon Beast of similar combat strength, it would have been injured if not killed. But this puppet, it simply doesn’t feel pain, nor does it tire.

If unable to pinpoint the Life Gate, continuing the fight would lead to one outcome—being slowly exhausted to death by its nearly undying body.

The exterior of this creature is forged from millennium seabed cold iron, tempered by thunderous blows. Its core should contain a fifth-level Thunder Attribute Demon Beast Core!

It seemed, to destroy it, one must first obliterate this Demon Beast Core!

Li Chen again employed the Insight Divine Power, commencing the search for the Demon Beast Core.

Inside its head, nothing.

Inside its chest, nothing.

Inside its abdomen, nothing.

Inside its back, nothing.

Inside its limbs, nothing.

...

"What’s going on? Could I have guessed wrong?"

Li Chen doubted his own judgment after having scoured through the Stone Dragon’s body but still unable to locate the Demon Beast Core.

However, as his gaze accidentally swept over the Stone Dragon’s tail end, he spotted an irregular hexagonal Crystal Stone wreathed in lightning.

And that was exactly the Demon Beast Crystal Core he was looking for!
