Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 509 - 297: Cunning Demon Priest

Seeing someone break away from the team and run toward him, Lu Yu instinctively slowed his pace.

"Fall back, just stop those demons from escaping, don’t get close to the battlefield," Wei Yinglong shouted unceremoniously at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu continued moving forward, saying, "I’m here to assist with completing the task of killing the demon priest."

Wei Yinglong frowned and said, "I know, that’s why you should stay outside and wait, don’t come in and interfere..."

"As long as the demon priest is killed, the task is considered complete, right?" Lu Yu interrupted him, asking.

Wei Yinglong was slightly stunned by his words, feeling quite amused inside, his lips curled into a mocking smile, and he said, "If you can kill the demon priest, I’ll count the task as completed for you."

"So, how do you plan to kill the demon priest?" Wei Yinglong waited to see him make a fool of himself. If it were that easy to kill the demon priest, would they need to use a strategy of gradual attrition? Wouldn’t it be better to strike directly at the enemy leader?

It was precisely because they couldn’t strike directly at the enemy leader that they used this time-consuming combat method.

Lu Yu, receiving his approval, nodded slightly, bent his legs a bit, and seeing his movements, Wei Yinglong was filled with questions, what was he planning to do?

Bang~ Lu Yu disappeared from where he stood, leaving only the shattered ground and dispersed dust behind.

Boom~ His figure plunged into the horde of demons, and with a swirl of his right hand, a ring of golden fire spread out, instantly devouring the demons around him.

Seizing the fire ring, Lu Yu dashed through the horde of demons, the intense heat reducing any demon that touched it to ashes.

Seeing Lu Yu’s figure vanish into the demon horde, Wei Yinglong widened his eyes. Wasn’t he afraid of being trapped to death among the demons by charging in like this?

The answer was—no, not a single demon could stop Lu Yu’s pace for even a moment. His figure flashed in front of the demons, leaving behind only charred half-bodies, marking his presence.

Lu Yu wreaked havoc among the demons, sometimes charging left, sometimes turning and charging sideways, no demon could block him.

After a few charges, Lu Yu’s eyes lit up, and he charged to the left.

He found that as he charged this way, the demons around him became tense, wanting to stop him at all costs.

If he guessed correctly, the demon priest was on this side!

"Found it!"

Lu Yu shouted in his heart; he saw a demon surrounded by others in the center. This demon was inconspicuous among the various demon forms, no wonder the Black Dragon troops couldn’t directly find the demon priest.

"Die for me!"

He leaped obliquely upward, spun once, and hurled the fire ring he had been gathering for a long time. Once released, the fire ring spun rapidly in the air and expanded quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the fire ring’s diameter exceeded thirty meters, enveloping all the demons gathered together.

Boom! The energy within the fire ring erupted, a thirty-meter diameter pillar of fire shot up into the sky, visible even to squad members thousands of meters away.

"Awooo~" The demons were reduced to ashes in the flames, letting out terrible wails before their deaths.

A slew of kill notifications flashed before Lu Yu, and his figure slowly descended from the air. He frowned slightly, there was no notification about killing the demon priest.

The fire pillar had dissipated, the heatwaves in the air surged in all directions, leaving only scorched earth in its place, without a single surviving demon.

"So... I was deceived just now!" Lu Yu suddenly felt intrigued, unexpectedly the demon priest also knew how to use decoys to lure attacks.

Lu Yu glanced around, the real demon priest was hiding among the surrounding demons.

Given the cunning of the demon priest, it should disguise itself to appear similar to ordinary demons. However, those surrounded and protected demons shouldn’t be overlooked either.

No one knew if those demons were the real or fake demon priest.

"Interesting." Lu Yu said softly. Previously, ordinary demons in his mind were always brutal, bizarre-looking, and unintelligent.

Unexpectedly, a demon below the rank of a Demon General actually possessed such a cunning mind.

Whump~ The demon horde scattered, splitting into small groups, fleeing in all directions, making it seem like demons were escorting the demon priest as they ran, though there were too many demon priests.

The demon priest had no fixed form, any demon could become a demon priest, so Lu Yu couldn’t tell just from appearance which group of fleeing demons was the real demon priest.

"Damn it!"

Wei Yinglong saw the demons, originally gathered to resist the Black Dragon Riders, scatter and flee in all directions, cursed aloud as he joined his men on horseback.

"Split into small teams, annihilate all fleeing demons," Wei Yinglong rapidly ordered.

He knew he shouldn’t have let Lu Yu go, it was because of Lu Yu that the tightly gathered demons scattered and fled.

Against the Black Dragon Riders, the demon priest felt confident in rallying the demons’ forces to fight back and destroy the opponent, but facing Lu Yu who could charge through the demon horde,

It realized it had no powerful demons to deal with Lu Yu, so it immediately shifted strategy, turning from fighting to fleeing.

Hundreds of demons scattered into dozens of small groups, each consisting of a few dozen demons, fleeing in all directions, even the Black Dragon Riders couldn’t guarantee to stop all the demons.
