The silver-haired burly man couldn’t figure it out, and neither could the beautiful woman.
’If I ever get the chance, I have to see for myself what’s so extraordinary about that Elder Su.’
BOOM!
Just then, another thunderous crash came from the Array above them.
CRACK...
Immediately after, a crack appeared across its surface.
Hua Tianmen cried out in alarm, "Master, look! Our Array is about to give way!"
The silver-haired burly man’s face turned ashen.
The beautiful woman gritted her teeth. "Everyone, on your feet! Get ready! We’re about to fight the Evil Demons to the death."
WHOOSH!
Everyone scrambled to their feet.
BANG!
The Array shattered completely, and the Evil Demon army surged in, surrounding them like a flood.
"Hahaha, we finally caught you."
"You blind humans, daring to run wild on our, the Evil Demons’, territory. You’re all fucking tired of living, aren’t you?"
"Don’t you know this is the Evil King’s domain?"
"A bunch of delusional trash, trying to snatch the Essence Blood Demon Fruit the Evil King cultivated. Didn’t you know that was a trap he laid specifically to lure you humans in?"
The Evil Demon army jeered arrogantly.
The faces of the beautiful woman and the silver-haired man darkened. Only now did they realize that the Essence Blood Demon Fruits had been a trap, set just for them.
Just then, a two-meter-tall Evil Demon stepped forward.
"Greetings, Evil King!"
The Evil Demon army knelt in unison.
The Evil King waved his hand dismissively. "All of you, rise. Cripple every last one of them for me. Make them know true despair."
"Aren’t we going to use them for a blood sacrifice?"
a One-Horned Evil Demon asked.
The Evil King said indifferently, "There’s no rush. The essence blood on these few is pathetic. It’s not even enough to pick my teeth with."
"Does that mean we should capture more people, Evil King?"
the One-Horned Evil Demon pressed.
The Evil King laughed. "Didn’t a little girl escape from their group just now? She’s definitely gone for reinforcements. Tell the Scarred Evil Demon and the other two not to kill the girl. Just keep chasing her."
"Heh heh, as brilliant as ever, Evil King."
A wide grin spread across the One-Horned Evil Demon’s face. He then took out a Communication Stone to contact the Scarred Evil Demon.
However, the Communication Stone gave no response.
The One-Horned Evil Demon reported, "Evil King, I’m afraid that Scarred fellow has been killed."
"Is that so? That’s great!"
The Evil King’s face lit up with excitement.
’Whoever killed the Scarred Evil Demon must be a Martial King Powerhouse, at least. Perfect. I can capture them for a blood sacrifice and refine them into a Blood Pill.’
"Attack! Cripple them!"
the Evil King commanded.
WHOOSH!
The Evil Demon army charged toward the silver-haired man, the beautiful woman, and the others, and a fierce battle erupted.
"Agh! My leg is broken! I can’t run!"
"Ah... I’ve broken three ribs."
"My arm! It’s gone!"
Miserable screams echoed endlessly from the group.
In moments, the several dozen humans were crushed by the eight-thousand-strong Evil Demon army.
Just then...
A Martial Monarch Level Evil Demon closed in on Hua Tianmen and sneered, "Kid, are you going to break your own legs and beg for mercy, or should I break them for you and torture you to death?"
"Fuck you!"
Hua Tianmen activated his Heaven-Supporting Demon Technique and charged madly at the Martial Monarch Level Evil Demon.
BOOM!
The next second, he was sent flying back.
A trace of fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The Martial Monarch Level Evil Demon stalked toward Hua Tianmen. "So you refuse to do this the easy way? Heh. Fine. I’ll break both your legs. Then I’ll break all your limbs."
Hua Tianmen’s scalp tingled with fear.
He had just advanced to the Late Stage Grand Martial Artist. He could handle ordinary Evil Demons, but he was no match for a Martial Monarch Level one.
"Master, save me!"
Hua Tianmen shouted to the silver-haired man for help.
If he didn’t call for help now, all he could do was wait to die.
BANG!
The silver-haired man spun around and slammed his palm into the Martial Monarch Level Evil Demon, killing it instantly. He roared in fury, "You beast! How dare you harm my disciple! Did you think I was already dead?"
Seeing this, the distant Evil King frowned.
He decided to step in himself.
Just then, the One-Horned Evil Demon interjected, "Evil King, allow me. This trash isn’t worthy of your personal attention."
"Very well. I’ll leave it to you,"
the Evil King said flatly.
He needed to conserve his strength for the human powerhouses who would arrive later.
The One-Horned Evil Demon walked up to the silver-haired man and said arrogantly, "Human, I’ll allow you the first move."
"I get the first move?"
The silver-haired man sneered. "You said it. Don’t go back on your word."
He knew he was being looked down upon.
But he wasn’t angry. Instead, he immediately activated his most powerful Heaven-Supporting Demon Technique.
BOOM!
A terrifying demonic might erupted from the silver-haired man, sweeping across the battlefield.
However, facing the silver-haired man’s terrifying power, the One-Horned Evil Demon remained completely unfazed. With a slight tremor of his right arm, he condensed a massive hand that radiated an even more horrifying power and slammed it viciously toward the silver-haired man.
BAM!
The silver-haired man was sent flying back a hundred meters. He spat out a mouthful of black blood and said in horror, "Your... your strength is terrifying."
’I was hoping to take the opportunity to kill the One-Horned Evil Demon and escape with Hua Tianmen.’
’Who knew the One-Horned Evil Demon would be this terrifying?’
BAM!
The One-Horned Evil Demon struck out again, slamming the silver-haired man straight into the ground and shattering several of his bones.
"Master..."
Hua Tianmen ran to the silver-haired man’s side, trying to pull him from the crater.
The silver-haired man stopped him. "Don’t move me. My legs are broken."
"What?"
Hua Tianmen panicked.
’His master’s legs were broken. How could they possibly escape now?’
The silver-haired man said helplessly, "My disciple, just run. Don’t worry about me. I’m afraid this is the end for me today."
"How can I do that? If we’re going, we go together, master and disciple,"
Hua Tianmen refused.
The silver-haired man sighed. "You should go alone. In my state, I’ll only be a burden. You are exceptionally talented. As long as you can survive this, your future will be boundless. Don’t throw your life away here on an impulse."
"But..."
Before Hua Tianmen could speak, two figures crashed heavily to the ground beside them.
It was Fairy Jinghong and the beautiful woman.
Hua Tianmen cried out in alarm, "Elder Shen, Fairy Jinghong, you two were defeated too?"
"Today, we are fated to die here."
"Sigh..."
Despair was written all over their faces.
Soon, all of them had been defeated.
A fawning smile spread across the One-Horned Evil Demon’s face. He asked, "Evil King, we’ve crippled them all. How about we kill one and bleed them out? Let the brothers have a taste."
The Evil King was about to agree when his expression turned to one of pleasant surprise. "Don’t touch them yet."
"Is someone else coming?"
the One-Horned Evil Demon asked.
The Evil King nodded with a smile. "Yes. And this time, it’s a true master. The essence blood in his body is even purer. I can already smell it."
"Really?"
The One-Horned Evil Demon was so excited he couldn’t stop grinning.
They, the Evil Demons, loved nothing more than human Martial Artists with pure essence blood.
Sometimes, a single one with pure essence blood was worth a thousand of the lesser kind, and their taste was exquisite.
The One-Horned Evil Demon licked its lips, its gaze fixed on the distance.
At the edge of his vision...
Bai Luoxue suggested nervously, "Elder Su, that Evil King is incredibly powerful. Why don’t we try to sneak past him?"
