Before the Demon King arrives, they will wipe out the assembled army of demon beasts in one fell swoop. Such a crazy idea can only be said by Xuan Tong without being criticized. If it were anyone else, they would have been considered crazy.

However, those present were not ordinary people; they were all core disciples of various sects with considerable strength. Although there were only fifty or sixty of them, facing three or four hundred Foundation Establishment and Breakthrough Stage demonic beasts was not a particularly big challenge for them.

"good!"

No one objected, and they agreed.

"The Inviting Moon Sect and Cold Moon Palace will flank from the left, while the Pill Sect and Falling Sea Sect will flank from the right. This is my order. Once our Demon Suppression Sect charges forward, you all follow suit, understand?" Xuan Tong gave everyone a final order, and then immediately spread out to both sides, forming an encirclement…

In the valley, more and more monsters gathered on the mountaintop, so densely packed that at first glance it looked like a lush jungle.

Low growls rose and fell, the beasts communicating. Since they couldn't speak human language, even if they were discussing something, Bai Hao and the others couldn't understand what they were saying.

However, you don't need to be able to tell what they are doing.

Just as the heads of the demonic beasts in the valley were churning, a dragon's roar suddenly came from the other side of the mountain. It was Xuan Tong, holding a long spear in his hand. With each swing, a faint dragon's roar could be heard, and his true energy surged. Suddenly, when he swung down, the powerful true energy was like a dragon emerging from the sea, rushing straight towards the valley—

The Demon Suppression Sect's inherited spear technique—Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Spear!

With a single shot, the world changed color. Wherever the true energy passed, a huge crack split open in the earth, rapidly spreading towards the valley. Some demonic beasts were unable to dodge in time and fell directly into it!

After Xuan Tong made the first move, the other two sides immediately rushed forward, their killing intent soaring to the sky. Their actions were clean and swift, without any hesitation or fuss, resulting in nothing but slaughter.

Hundreds of monsters were completely stunned by the impact; how could a mere few dozen humans scatter them?

The difference in strength was so great that even if they reacted and wanted to resist, it would be futile. Facing Bai Hao and the others, they had no chance to fight back at all.

A thick stench of blood permeated the entire valley.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the demonic beasts in the valley had been mostly dealt with, leaving only a pile of corpses soaked in blood, a horrifying sight. Bai Hao and his companions, however, were completely clean, hardly tainted at all.

This is a life-or-death feud between humans and demons, with no room for mercy. Cruelty to demons is mercy to oneself.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Let's continue on our way." Led by Xuan Tong, the group continued their journey.

But just then, a chilling laugh rang out from the sky.

"You humans are really quick. While the outside is still being besieged by a large army, someone inside has already come to strike at the heart of the enemy. You are truly amazing."

The sarcastic voice immediately put everyone on alert, and they looked around for the speaker.

Xuan Tong's gaze narrowed slightly, and then he suddenly pointed his spear at the sky. In an instant, a clear dragon's roar soared into the clouds, stirring up the clouds.

From the clouds, a person was forced out and stood in the void. It was a man wearing dark blue armor, surrounded by wisps of black energy. He didn't look like a good person at all.

"A demon beast in human form, late stage of Knowledge and Action, this is the strongest of the three demon kings." Looking at the man in the sky, Bai Hao could tell at a glance that he was not human, but a demon beast in human form.

Only those who reach the Realm of Knowledge and Action can transform into human form. According to Emperor Chu, among the demon beast army that has awakened this time, there are only three at the Realm of Knowledge and Action, and the strongest demon king is only at the late stage of the Realm of Knowledge and Action—which should be the one in front of us.

Moreover, this demon king seems quite confident. He's all alone, with no subordinates behind him. Sure enough, a demon king is a demon king; his confidence is different.

"With the Chu Emperor's army pressing in from the front and you sneaking in from behind, you're planning to join forces from within and without to kill us." The demon king slowly landed on the hillside in front of the group, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "But do you really think we demon beasts are easy to bully?"

Stepping forward, Xuan Tong held his spear behind him, his face expressionless, and said calmly, "Humans and demons have been sworn enemies since ancient times. There's no need for further words, let's fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Tong brandished his spear, stomped his foot, and leaped towards the Demon King. His movements were swift and powerful, like the wind!

With a flick of the spear, a clear dragon's roar echoed. As Xuan Tong thrust out the spear, a cold light flashed at the tip, and the powerful true energy seemed to ferociously tear at the demon king!

Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Spear!

As the signature move of the Demon Suppression Sect, Xuan Tong launched such a fierce attack, clearly intending to overwhelm the Demon King in terms of momentum, just like when they fought against the Demon Clan.

However, facing Xuan Tong's fierce attack, the Demon King lightly tapped his foot and his figure flashed backward like a ghost, easily dodging Xuan Tong's attack in a few breaths.

But Xuan Tong pursued relentlessly. The more the Demon King dodged, the fiercer his attacks became. His spear danced in his hand, creating afterimages that transformed into real dragons, slashing at the Demon King from several directions.

"What a nuisance." A hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. The Demon King clenched his right hand, and as the black energy around him rapidly condensed in his hand, a black longsword appeared.

Grasping the black longsword, the Demon King simply slashed, easily severing the several streams of true dragon energy that were chasing after him.

With a stomp of his foot in the void, the Demon King charged towards Xuan Tong with a thunderous roar. The sword in his hand transformed into a black shadow, cutting a dark gash through the air itself.

Xuan Tong's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly held his spear in front of him. The spear, made of refined meteorite iron, was actually cut in half by the Demon King's strange black longsword!

Xuan Tong was also kicked away, crashing heavily to the ground and leaving a deep rut.

“Elder!”

Upon seeing this, several disciples of the Demon Suppression Sect quickly stepped forward and helped Xuan Tong up.

"It's alright." Xuan Tong pushed them away, looking at the spear broken in two in front of him, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

His spear was forged from meteorite iron unique to the Demon Suppression Sect. Although it wasn't very famous, I'm afraid there weren't many weapons on the entire continent that were as sturdy as his spear.

But now, his spear has been cleaved in two by the Demon King as easily as cutting tofu?!

"The sword in his hand is very strange." Xuan Tong's gaze was solemn.

Bai Hao, who was standing to the side, also noticed the black longsword in the Demon King's hand and frowned slightly: "This sword, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

He murmured to himself, but for a moment he couldn't recall where he had seen such a sword before.
