As soon as he uttered five words, a cold blade light flashed, and a head weighing hundreds of pounds fell.
"Why the nonsense? Have abyssal demons become chatterboxes too?"
Li Xi had the right to look down on horn demons, but his identity was also revealed to the portal behind by this horn demon's shout. Cold water dripped into boiling oil, and a broiler chicken flew into a crocodile pond. It erupted, and the footsteps inside immediately quickened threefold. Countless demons roared towards the portal at the same time, wishing they could devour Li Xi alive the next second.
The portal, almost nine meters long, could squeeze two horn demons through at once. Li Xi's less-than-two-meter stature was still a factor, and when fighting, he had to divide his attention. Any mistake could lead to a large number of demons pouring out.
He bit his finger lightly, drawing blood, and then slammed his palm onto the ground. Countless runes appeared out of thin air.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
*Bang!*
White smoke rose.
"Roar!"
An ape with red eyes, a mountain giant ape, appeared. Li Xi could tell from Sun Er'dai's heavy panting as soon as he appeared that he was affected by the red mist. He threw all the remaining high-grade holy water into Sun Er'dai's mouth, which finally calmed the agitated Sun Er'dai.
While attacking two horn demons, Li Xi used his foot to hook the greatsword left behind by the previous horn demon and kicked it towards Sun Er'dai. The four-meter-long greatsword in the twenty-meter Sun Er'dai's hands looked like a short toy.
"Smash them back! You don't need to do anything else. Just smash back whatever comes out."
Li Xi was busy slicing a horn demon, while Sun Er'dai, holding the greatsword, ferociously smashed down at another horn demon.
Don't be fooled by Li Xi's greater strength compared to Sun Er'dai; Sun Er'dai's size was much, much larger. The horn demon, relying on its over six meters height to reach Sun Er'dai's thigh, let out an invincible roar at Sun Er'dai. The result was that Sun Er'dai punched it back into the portal, and the sound of crashing to the ground could be heard from within the portal.
Li Xi had also just split the horn demon in front of him in half, ensuring all parts and organs were evenly divided.
As soon as the two horn demons were repelled, more horn demons swarmed forward. If the portal wasn't so small, Li Xi would have suspected that he and Sun Er'dai would have been drowned by the horn demons.
Li Xi was a bit confused. Weren't horn demons supposed to be mid-tier fighters of the abyss? He hadn't encountered many before. Why were there so many this time?
Sun Er'dai's fighting style was simple: he gripped the horn demon's greatsword and kept punching backward. Sometimes, if he was lucky, he could even slash deep wounds on the horn demons.
Li Xi's fighting was a bit more complex. His height was less than the horn demon's waist. To deliver a fatal blow, he had to be in mid-air. But flying up presented another problem: without his feet on the ground, he couldn't exert his full strength, like having a hundred dollars but only being able to spend ten at a time.
After shattering the head of another horn demon into smithereens, Li Xi became angry. This fighting was too frustrating.
He used the ninjutsu he had just drawn.
"Multiplication Jutsu!"
Li Xi's body expanded like an inflatable balloon, quickly reaching a height of nearly four meters. He didn't need to go all out against these horn demons, so Li Xi only activated the Multiplication Jutsu to twofold, making him a little giant of three-point-seven meters.
Now, the two-meter-long head-splitting greatsword in his hand felt like a suitable longsword, and the over six-meter-tall horn demons were, in Li Xi's eyes, barely taller than him.
His fine dragon scales also doubled in size. What pleased Li Xi the most was that the defense of the dragon scales also increased, almost reaching a point where Level 4 attacks couldn't penetrate.
Combined with the invincible strength of a Vajra flowing in his body, wielding the head-splitting greatsword to slaughter horn demons was truly like a farmer busy with the autumn harvest.
The whistling and roaring of the air sounded like the shrieks of the grim reaper's scythe harvesting lives. Even Sun Er'dai's targets were now within Li Xi's attack range.
Because Li Xi, enlarged twofold, only reached the horn demons' chests, every one of Li Xi's attacks could neatly sever their waists.
As for blocking Li Xi's attacks, that was not something the horn demons could do. Their already inhuman strength was now doubled. Even if the current horn demons tried with all their might, they couldn't withstand the consequences of being cut in half.
Sun Er'dai watched Li Xi holding the pass alone in front, scratching his head. He was actually relegated to hiding behind his master, with no use for his skills.
He looked at the small four-meter greatsword in his hand and angrily threw it into the portal.
*Thud*
"Ah!"
With Sun Er'dai's full-force throw, the greatsword broke the sound barrier, and with a sonic boom, it shot into the portal, piercing an unknown number of horn demons.
Sun Er'dai heard the screams of pain from within the portal and seemed to have found a new attack method. The four-meter greatswords scattered on the ground were his offensive weapons.
Like a diligent child picking up wheat ears to supplement the family's income, Sun Er'dai cherished every weapon he could find, then solemnly threw it back with all his might into the hands of its owner's kin. Whether its owner's kin could catch it was not something Sun Er'dai needed to consider.
"Good job, Er'dai, keep it up."
Li Xi was very satisfied after seeing Sun Er'dai's attack method. He had previously mentioned that the defense of creatures emerging from the portal would be inexplicably lower. It had been a bit difficult for Sun Er'dai to kill a horn demon before, which was why Li Xi had asked Sun Er'dai to smash the horn demons back into the portal rather than kill them on the spot like himself.
After all, the strength of a horn demon was only slightly weaker than Sun Er'dai's. If they got into a prolonged fight, with the endless supply of horn demons, Sun Er'dai could quickly be overwhelmed.
Now, Sun Er'dai was playing javelin, which was more effective than his previous punching attacks.
The man and the ape fought valiantly at the portal, each move shaking heaven and earth. The commotion was like continuous high-explosive bombs detonating. In such an environment, an ordinary person would be deafened within three seconds.
Despite Li Xi's overwhelming power, he had already killed over twenty horn demons, yet the red mist did not weaken at all. Instead, it continued to increase. What made Li Xi grind his teeth in frustration was that the white soul mist within the red mist was being drawn into the portal at an accelerating pace. In just these few minutes, the portal's size had exceeded nine meters and was approaching ten meters.
"What are Aisi and the others doing? Why haven't they brought it under control yet?"
Li Xi was getting anxious. It looked like he was a god descending to earth, displaying his might and crushing the horn demons, killing every one that appeared. This was based on the twofold Multiplication Jutsu, which also had a time limit. The extreme limit was fourfold for one minute. Twofold was better, with an extreme limit of six to seven minutes.
However, after six to seven minutes, the portal's size would definitely not be what it was now. At that time, it wouldn't be just two horn demons emerging simultaneously, but possibly three or four.
If three or four emerged at once, Li Xi would absolutely not be able to control it. Horn demons were not ants that could be crushed at will. Every horn demon Li Xi killed required his full effort. If his strength was even slightly weaker, he might not be able to kill the horn demon. As soon as there was a gap in his attack, the inside would be swarmed by emerging horn demons.
Li Xi was anxious, but Aisi and the others were even more so. In a life-or-death situation, who wouldn't be anxious? It could only be said that Li Xi's actions were too fast. Less than one hourglass had passed since he separated from Aisi, which was fifteen minutes. How could the priests react in such a short time?
Furthermore, it had only been about seven or eight minutes since Li Xi discovered the location after a Great Fireball Jutsu was fired. Who among the priests, troops, soldiers, or mercenaries, or high-level professionals dared to come alone? They had to form teams and ensure everything was safe before daring to come.
Individual heroism was indeed inspiring, but not everyone wanted to be that individual hero. Without strength above Level 6, no one dared to face an open abyssal portal alone. There had been too many experiences in this chaotic era. Wasn't living good enough?
Li Xi gasped for breath. His whole body was covered in sweat, as if he had just come out of a sauna, and the steam rose, disappearing into the red mist. Maintaining such intense exertion for several minutes, even Li Xi's robust body was starting to falter. The temperature of his dragon scales had exceeded seventy to eighty degrees Celsius.
"You can maintain this state for another three minutes. If you still don't retreat then, you can lift my seal. The seal is under the island." Perhaps afraid that Li Xi would fight to exhaustion and die, Matatabi, the Two-Tails in the sealed space, warned Li Xi.
In fact, Matatabi didn't want to speak, but this was another world, not their original ninja world. If Li Xi truly died here, he would die with him, and there would be no rebirth. Therefore, who in this world would be most unwilling to see Li Xi die? The first one to jump out would undoubtedly be the Two-Tails, as they were connected by fate. Every time he saw Li Xi fighting desperately, he felt that his life was so bitter.
"I know. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of reckless fool who acts without thinking. If it's impossible, I'll run too." Li Xi took the opportunity to stuff a large handful of soldier pills into his mouth. The supplement from the soldier pills allowed Li Xi to extend his endurance by another two minutes.
The horn demons still poured out endlessly, killing one and two immediately emerged. The corpses piled up, filling the surroundings. From the outside, Li Xi was no longer visible, only the sound of the wind, like the roar of the god of death, could be heard.
To allow Li Xi to fight more effectively, Sun Er'dai not only served as a ranged shooter but also as a porter, throwing the horn demon corpses far away. Each horn demon weighed several tons and took up too much space.
Just as Li Xi felt each second stretch into an eternity and his hands grew weary from killing horn demons, footsteps finally arrived. Li Xi didn't have time to look back, but a few seconds later, a familiar voice rang out.
Aisi, leading a group of high-level mercenaries, some soldiers, and over a dozen priests from various temples, finally arrived.
"Lord Mourinho, where is Li Xi?" Aisi, regardless of the scene, showed overflowing worry after searching for a while and not seeing Li Xi. She couldn't bear to be separated forever just after confirming their relationship.
Aisi didn't think much of the scene piled with horn demon corpses, but it terrified the others who had rushed with her. Horn demons could withstand Level 5 magical beasts. They would struggle to deal with even one horn demon on their own, or most of them wouldn't be able to defeat it. Yet, for this Dragonborn, with just a blur of a move that was too fast to see, the newly emerged horn demon was already cut in half.
The horn demon, on the verge of death, had eyes full of disbelief. It couldn't believe it had died just like that. These arriving humans also couldn't believe it. The attack ended without even seeing a move. They could only feel the peerless power of this formidable Dragonborn from the violently churning red mist in the distance.
Coupled with a twenty-meter-tall mountain giant ape standing faithfully by his side to protect and fight, the combination of the two slaughtering horn demons like ants, standing defiantly amidst a sea of corpses of countless horn demons, filled these humans with reverence. Facing such a powerful being, no amount of respect or humility would be too much.
"He has his own matters to attend to. You don't need to worry about him. First, control the situation here."
Li Xi wanted to maintain the aloof persona of a Dragonborn. He had already thought that once he had enough chakra, he would create various clones. If you are a taijutsu expert, I will be a ninjutsu master; if you are a Dragonborn, I will have other identities, then form a mercenary group and do missions myself. Wouldn't that be fun?
