The nine sect leaders were deeply moved by Xiong Ba's words, and some even shed tears!

In such circumstances, seeing no hope of survival and knowing they were doomed, why not die a glorious death?

Chen An scoffed at their sense of justice. He had seen countless life and death moments, and everyone is afraid when facing death. This Xiong Ba showed no fear whatsoever. Either he was absolutely certain he wouldn't die, or he was truly a great man. He preferred to believe the former!

He immediately tried to expose Xiong Ba's pretense and said, "Xiong Ba, I'll give you one more chance. If you help me kill them, I'll make you the vice sect master of my Ten Thousand Demons Sect. How about it?"

Chen An's enticing words rang out, but instead of instilling fear in those present, they now firmly believed in Xiong Ba's character.

Without even thinking, Xiong Ba spat on Chen An's face.

"Demon, stop talking nonsense. My inability to kill you only proves my incompetence, not the incompetence of the Dragon Yuan Martial World. I will set an example for the martial world with the blood in my veins!"

"Well said, Sect Master Xiong, rest assured, you go first, we'll be there shortly!"

Upon hearing Xiong Ba's words, the hundreds of people on the edge lost all fear and rushed forward, looking as if they were bravely going to their deaths!

"I, Xiong Ba, have no regrets even if I die fighting alongside these heroes!"

Seeing that his words had not achieved their purpose and that Xiong Ba had even spat a mouthful of phlegm at him, Chen An's temper flared up, and he struck Xiong Ba in the face with a palm!

"You stubborn fool, I will shatter every bone in your body, then search your soul, and make you die in excruciating pain!"

Xiong Ba immediately activated his Vajra Body, channeling all his energy into his right fist.

"Heavenly Frost Fist!"

boom!

The collision of fists and palms caused space to shatter, creating spatial turbulence that swallowed and pulverized everything around it. Fortunately, the natural world here has a strong ability to repair itself, and the spatial rift was repaired in an instant.

This is why Chen An didn't kill him; he only planned to severely injure Xiong Ba first, and then search his soul to obtain the inheritance he wanted.

Unfortunately, he underestimated how resilient Xiong Ba's body was. This casual palm strike did not cause Xiong Ba any injury; it only sent him flying hundreds of meters.

"Oh? Your body-refining divine skill has surprised me too! Hahaha, you are a gift from heaven!"

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Xiong Ba. He had already set up a protective barrier here, so no one could escape except for the people in the formation outside.

I have carefully observed that formation. It would be too difficult for him to break it. He probably wouldn't have time to care about their lives or deaths. Apart from Xiong Ba, no one else is of any importance.

He walked forward step by step, his eyes fixed on Xiong Ba, trying to see fear on his face, but Xiong Ba's serious face and the expression of his heroic sacrifice only made him angrier.

Just as he was losing patience, he suddenly realized something, and his expression changed drastically!

"Oh no! Why is the Demon King Youquan here?!"

Chen An tried to escape with his shield, but it was too late!

All around, the blood-red water enveloped the entire Cloud Piercing Peak, making the space seem to sink into a quagmire. Everyone present felt that it was difficult to even move a finger!

Suddenly, a middle-aged, muscular man with blood-red hair appeared next to Chen An. He was shirtless and had bulging muscles all over his body. It was Youquan in human form.

At this moment, Youquan looked at Chen An with a teasing look in his eyes.

"Hey Chen Laomo, I've been looking for you for a month, but I never expected to find you here having such a good time."

Chen An looked tense. This Old Demon of the Nether Spring had been extremely arrogant ever since he appeared in the demonic path, but he was indeed very powerful. He didn't know what kind of cultivation technique he practiced, as he was almost immortal.

When Youquan first appeared, he directly destroyed the Blood God Sect. The Supreme Elder of the Blood God Sect was also a powerful expert in the Heavenly Realm, but he did not even have a chance to resist. He was directly turned into a pool of blood. Youquan's name became famous because of this!

His Ten Thousand Demons Sect was Youquan's second target. Youquan had already killed all of his disciples, elders, and so on. It could be said that he had fled here!

"Youquan, my Ten Thousand Demons Sect has no grudge against you, why won't you give me a way out?"

Chen An's body was tense, his powerful physique ready to respond to Youquan's attack at any moment.

Youquan laughed and said, "Why? Your Ten Thousand Demons Sect takes pleasure in eating people. How are you any different from the demon race? You are a disgrace to my demonic path!"

"Bullshit! The cultivation techniques you practice, Youquan, are far more evil than mine. Whether you're even human is another matter entirely, yet you have the nerve to talk about me like that!"

At this moment, he sensed that this space had been locked by the Nether Spring, and he didn't know what kind of grand formation had been set up. It was clear that they had made ample preparations to prevent him from leaving. So, he decided to throw caution to the wind and say whatever came to mind.

Since appearing in the demonic path, Youquan has identified himself as a human. However, upon reaching the Heavenly Realm, one can vaguely sense that Youquan's appearance is a manifestation of supernatural powers, but one cannot see through Youquan's true nature.

Without saying another word, Youquan struck Chen An with a palm. Chen An was already on guard and met the attack with both hands. A malevolent aura emanated from between the two, enough to confuse an ordinary martial artist with just a breath!

At the opportune moment, Xiong Ba moved sideways in front of the hundreds of people, constantly chanting incantations with his hands.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, Qian and Kun borrow their laws, reverse the course of events, all laws return to one, the Yin-Yang Eight Gates Formation, begin!"

In an instant, a formation covering hundreds of people was formed, with yin and yang energies rising within, blocking the evil aura from the outside.

Seeing Xiong Ba's broad body and the pained expression on his face, everyone felt ashamed of their previous actions in besieging Chuanyun Peak!

"Sect Leader Xiong, we are here to lend you a hand."

Although the nine sect leaders couldn't understand the formation, they saw that Xiong Ba had finished setting up the formation and was continuously sending true energy to a certain place with both hands. They immediately understood the key to it and stretched out their hands to fill the formation with true energy to reduce the pressure on Xiong Ba!

When Xiong Ba saw everyone channeling their true energy into him, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he could finally speak. In reality, only he himself knew how much his cultivation had been depleted.

"Brothers, this new old demon is far too powerful. I'm afraid Chen An is no match for him. Does any of you know him?"

"Sect Master Xiong, this Old Demon Youquan is a newly emerging demonic giant in recent years. He is unpredictable, but we have never heard of him killing any of our righteous people. On the contrary, he destroyed two demonic sects after he appeared."

Their intelligence system is quite good; they do know the name of Youquan.

Xiong Ba nodded and said, "In that case, whether we live or die today depends on the mood of this Old Demon Youquan."

Xiong Ba was telling the truth. Although it was disheartening, the situation was beyond his control!

Chen An exchanged two blows before Youquan grabbed his neck with a large hand.

"Youquan, senior, could you spare my life out of consideration for our shared demonic path?"

Chen An now understands how those he manipulated felt; people are destined to be fearful under the threat of death.

"The demonic path? You are destined to be the stepping stone for me to unify the demonic path! Go in peace!"

"You...ah!"

A scream rang out, and Chen An turned into a pool of blood and merged into Youquan's body.
