A three-thousand-year-old Great Demon!!
Yu Daohan gazed at the man before him, his already pale face growing even whiter, the hand gripping the Kanglong Halberd trembling uncontrollably.
The young man before him possessed a strength that was utterly insurmountable for Yu Daohan.
Yu Daohan knew in his heart that his own strength was like an egg hitting a rock compared to a three-thousand-year-old Great Demon.
If it were in the past, Yu Daohan would have fled without a second thought. But now, he couldn't run. If he ran, the other person would be doomed.
"Boy, you look familiar. Five hundred years ago, we must have met somewhere." Shao Shan stared intently at Yu Daohan as he examined him.
Yu Daohan tightened his grip on the Kanglong Halberd, ready to strike at any moment. Shao Shan pondered for a long time before finally shaking his head, "Never mind, it's been five hundred years, I can't recall."
Shao Shan strode towards Yu Daohan, "I'll give you one last chance: get lost or die!"
Yu Daohan's expression turned extremely grim, his body trembling uncontrollably, a primal fear stemming from instinct.
Yu Daohan glanced back at Qin Muyu, who lay beneath the great tree, then tightened his grip on the Kanglong Halberd and charged at Shao Shan.
"If it's for him, even the Jade Emperor himself came, I, Yu Daohan, would still fight."
Yu Daohan stopped abruptly when he was still a meter away from Shao Shan, then stomped on the ground with both feet and leaped high into the air. Simultaneously, his other hand's fingers traced across the Kanglong Halberd, and a ball of flame enveloped it.
Yu Daohan gripped the Kanglong Halberd with both hands, using the momentum of his dive to slash directly at Shao Shan's head.
Seeing Yu Daohan raise the Kanglong Halberd to strike him, Shao Shan unhurriedly raised his hand.
*Bang!*
Just as the flame-wreathed Kanglong Halberd was twenty centimeters from Shao Shan's head, it was caught by Shao Shan with his bare hand.
Yu Daohan was stunned. His "Fire Slash" had been so easily caught.
"Good presentation, but the force is a bit lacking." Shao Shan said with disdain. Suddenly, he raised his other hand and struck Yu Daohan's chest with a palm.
Yu Daohan had no time to dodge. The palm strike landed squarely on his chest.
Yu Daohan's face instantly turned ashen, and he was sent flying backward. However, he stabilized himself in mid-air and landed firmly on his feet.
As soon as Yu Daohan regained his footing, he felt a suffocating pressure in his chest, and a mouthful of blood surged up to his throat.
Yu Daohan gritted his teeth, forcefully swallowing the blood that was about to be spat out. He couldn't let the other person worry.
Shao Shan, with the hand that had caught Yu Daohan's attack behind his back, looked slightly displeased and cursed inwardly.
"I didn't expect that strike from this kid to be so powerful. It seems I was careless."
Yu Daohan tightened his grip on the Kanglong Halberd, smiling defiantly. The corner of his mouth curved upwards slightly. It seemed his previous strike wasn't entirely ineffective.
"You're still standing, kid?" Shao Shan was somewhat surprised that Yu Daohan remained on his feet. He knew the power of his palm strike.
"I want to see if you can take another one of my palms." As soon as Shao Shan finished speaking, his figure moved like a phantom, and he swung his palm towards Yu Daohan.
Yu Daohan didn't flinch. He raised his palm and met Shao Shan's attack head-on.
*Bang!*
The energy wave generated by the clash of their palms sent surrounding trees and plants scattering.
Yu Daohan was forced back, a searing pain shooting up his arm. He spat out blood but managed to suppress it with his lips, swallowing it down. He tried to lift his hand to see what had happened, but no matter how hard he tried, it remained unresponsive.
Yu Daohan was drenched in cold sweat from the pain. It seemed his arm might be broken.
"I never imagined a three-thousand-year-old Great Demon to be this terrifying. Just a simple palm clash and my arm is crippled." Yu Daohan sighed, then straightened his back and taunted Shao Shan, "Is this all a three-thousand-year-old Great Demon is? Nothing special."
Hu Guizhi, standing nearby, watched Yu Daohan with a hint of admiration. "This human kid is quite interesting. He's the first one to dare insult a three-thousand-year-old Great Demon."
Fan Wei nodded in surprise. "Truly, very few in this world dare to speak to Shao Shan like this, and even fewer are humans."
"This kid is certainly the first!"
Shao Shan's expression turned ice-cold. It was one thing for Qin Muyu and Wu Tan to speak to him like this, but he never expected a mere human kid to dare do the same.
Shao Shan waved his hand, and the surrounding air began to condense. A red gas rapidly gathered around Shao Shan, eventually forming hundreds of sharp red peacock feather blades that floated in the air.
Yu Daohan let out a light breath. "This guy is thoroughly provoked by me."
Qin Muyu looked at Yu Daohan's back, shielding him. He knew in his heart that the young man was merely putting up a brave front.
Qin Muyu leaned against the great tree, trying to stand up and shield Yu Daohan, but his body had reached its limit, and he had no strength left to support himself.
"Go, hurry and go!" Qin Muyu shouted.
Yu Daohan ignored him, merely glancing back at Qin Muyu. "If you die, my living has no meaning."
After speaking, Yu Daohan turned and glared fiercely at Shao Shan, planting the Kanglong Halberd into the ground. He then took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, twisted open the cap with his mouth, and swallowed all the pills inside.
"You're crazy! Eating so many pills will blind you!" Qin Muyu cried out anxiously.
