If it had been any normal day, Zhou Li, when facing a Drought Demon at its peak, would usually choose to kneel on the spot and seek a way to survive. After all, there was a certain gap between his own strength and that of the opponent, similar to the difference between Ding Zhen and Xiao Yan.
Anyway, it meant certain death.
But inside this painting, everything was different.
Zhou Li had understood from the beginning that this world was just a painting, a world created by the Yellow-robed Painter with his awe-inspiring power. It might seem real, but it definitely wasn't reality, just a "non-existent branch."
Therefore, Zhou Li was certain that the Yellow-robed Painter did not intend to kill them. Or to put it another way, he had quite a bit of goodwill towards them.
