Zhou Ke immediately became alert, stood up and shouted back, "Everyone on alert! Demons have appeared!"

In an instant, everyone who had just lit the campfire jumped up with a start.

They might have been engrossed in the story they had just heard about, but now that they heard about the appearance of the demons, they immediately became extremely alert, even gripping their staffs, knives, and swords with a cold sweat.

Immediately afterwards, following Zhou Ke's gaze, they looked up and saw a man who looked no different from an ordinary person hovering in the air, with a pair of extremely bright black wings behind him.

Demons!

That's the demon race!

At this moment, their feelings were a mixture of tension and excitement! As members of the Demon-Slaying Sect, they took pride in slaying demons. Seeing a demon for the first time, their competitive spirit soared. Without exception, they all wanted to prioritize killing the demon before them, adding a perfect achievement to their own record on the Demon-Slaying Sect's annals!

Of course, this only applies to ordinary disciples of the Exorcising Evil Sect.

Zhou Ke and the two elderly men beside him felt an invisible, intense pressure emanating from the air.

They frowned. This shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't the weaker demon soldiers be the first to appear?

At this moment, Li Zhong, standing above, crossed his arms and looked down at the crowd below, a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"A bunch of ants, how dare they trespass on the demon realm's borders?"

Li Zhong snorted coldly, his eyes not even showing the slightest fighting spirit.

The two old men beside Zhou Ke stepped forward, holding their scepters and raising their heads to say, "You demons, why do you dare to invade human territory? If you know what's good for you, hurry back to the demon realm, or else if we take action, be careful that your demon realm will be in turmoil!"

Upon hearing these words, Li Zhong's lips curled up slightly.

He chuckled softly, slowly opening his arms: "Since when dead people can speak?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two purple lightning bolts surged from Li Zhong's palm, instantly striking the old man in front of him like heavenly lightning!

In the blink of an eye, the two old men, who were already on guard, had already formed a defensive barrier. However, when the demonic energy instantly broke through the barrier they had formed, both of them widened their pupils!

laugh!

A deep, crackling sound exploded in the area ahead! One low blast followed another, and everyone watched as the aura, resembling purple lightning, engulfed both objects until it dissipated.

There were only two more pools of blood on the ground!

"this……"

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Who are those two?

Both of them were vice sect leaders of the Demon Extermination Sect, wielding immense authority! Both were Spirit Void Realm experts, yet they couldn't even withstand a single move from that demon.

What kind of power is this?!

Bu Yu, who was standing at the back, swallowed hard. As an instructor, he had heard too much about the deeds of the Demon Extermination Sect, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a scene!

To be precise, this demon was not even in the same league as the demons he knew!

Everyone was stunned; their minds were completely blank.

They all knew the demons were powerful, but didn't the Demon Extermination Sect have a set of methods specifically for dealing with demons? So why... why didn't even the two vice sect leaders leave behind any corpses?

"Everyone, form a battle formation! This demon is too strong, so be on your guard!"

At that moment, Zhou Ke's voice entered their minds, pulling everyone back from their daze.

Everyone regained consciousness, but once they did, their fear was undoubtedly even greater.

Even the deputy sect leader is dead. Even if they form a battle formation, can they really win?

"Young Miss... Yuan, please forgive me, I don't want to die!"

Suddenly, one of the disciples of the Demon Extermination Sect became timid.

Faced with overwhelming power, he was afraid. Even the two vice sect leaders, who were on guard, died; what right did they have to fight?

Zhou Ke turned around and shouted, "Don't go!"

Pfft!

In an instant, a black light ripped through the space, like a long whip in the night, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced the heart of the fleeing man!

The man's face was covered in tears and snot. He was trembling all over and kept swallowing, but he could only open his mouth and couldn't say a word.

The next second, the black ribbon disappeared from his body, and he turned into black residue, falling to the ground like burnt charcoal, turning into dust!

Dead silence!

If previous deaths only instilled fear in them, this death now instilled despair!

What kind of power is this?

Is there really anyone in the world who can defeat such a person?

The deepest fears hidden in their hearts were unearthed, and at this moment, none of them could even hold their weapons steady.

die.

They will die!

"Run!"

At some point, one person continued to resist, waking up everyone who still had a glimmer of hope.

But Li Zhong, standing above, shook his head expressionlessly: "An ant has invaded our territory; it cannot be allowed to live."

As soon as he finished speaking, five black ribbons appeared from his fingertips, like snakes and scorpions. Apart from being cold and bloodless, they exuded a suffocating sense of death, pressing down on everyone present!

At this moment, everyone in the Demon Extermination Sect seemed to understand.

Perhaps the demons they encountered weren't the truly powerful ones; their return might simply be due to the demons being in a good mood at the time. Upon further reflection, it seemed that among the hundreds of sect leaders, only a handful had actually returned.
