As Li Xiu expected, the divine light on the Jade Demon King surged, and his palms seemed like two green suns, likely intending to crush him.
Bang!
Unexpectedly, the Jade Demon King's palms didn't strike Li Xiu but instead slammed into the closed Jade Gate.
With this powerful hit, the already closed Jade Gate was forcefully nudged open a crack.
Li Xiu was overjoyed, thinking the Jade Demon King wanted to escape too. As long as the Jade Demon King pushed the door open again, he would have a chance to rush out.
With that strike, the Jade Demon King only managed to open the door slightly, desperately pushing outward with both hands but unable to open it further.
Opening the door consumed too much energy; when the Jade Demon King first attempted to open the door, a significant amount of light energy was already expended, leaving no strength to push the door open further now.
