The three demons who were besieging Su She were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, their faces ashen, and their eyes were filled with disbelief and fear as they looked at Su She.

They were on par with the fallen demons, and just moments before they had mocked their companions for being bound by chains, but now they felt a chill run through them.

If I had been the one entangled just now, I probably would have ended up in the same situation!

"This person... is terrifying!" A demon's voice trembled, his hand gripping the bone staff shaking.

"He's not fighting, he's crushing us! We're no match for him!"

The other demon nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with retreat: "Let's go! We need to get out of here quickly! Fighting him will only lead to our deaths!"

They were no longer arrogant as before, and only wanted to escape from this nightmare-like Confucian scholar as soon as possible.

But just as they turned to flee, Su She spoke again, his voice still gentle, yet carrying an undeniable power: "Since you have come to invade my territory, how can you allow us to come and go as we please?"

He turned the scroll in his hand, and his golden talent surged once more. He recited aloud: "Having fought a hundred battles in the yellow sands, I wear golden armor; I will not return until Loulan is conquered!"

The talent instantly transformed into countless phantoms of soldiers clad in golden armor, wielding long spears, forming a square formation that blocked the retreat of the three demons.

The soldier's phantom aura blazed ever brighter, forming a golden barrier that trapped the three demons within.

"Trying to leave? Leave your life behind first!" Su She stepped forward slowly, gently closing the scroll in his hand.

"You demons wreak havoc on the world, today I will show you what 'righteousness' and 'unforgivable by heaven' really mean!"

The three demons looked at the golden-armored soldiers surrounding them, and then at the corpses of their comrades on the ground, and completely lost their will to fight.

They knew they had no way to escape. Faced with Su She's seemingly absolute power, they didn't even have the courage to resist.

In other corners of the battlefield, Jiang Li, Xiao Chen, and others also took advantage of this lull to launch fierce attacks on their respective opponents.

Jiang Li's Yinghuo Sword Qi erupted once more, a fan-shaped red light enveloping the four demons. The scorching sword qi burned their scales, and the bewitching power made them move increasingly slowly.

Xiao Chen seized the opportunity, concentrated his spear intent, and pierced his opponent's chest with a single thrust; Shi Tou smashed the demon's spine with a punch, completely killing him.

The victory achieved by Su She was like a shot in the arm for everyone, and the previously stalemate instantly tilted in a direction that was extremely favorable to human cultivators.

The three besieged demons, watching the golden-armored soldiers draw ever closer and listening to the poems Su She kept reciting, finally broke down completely.

His legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees, trembling as he pleaded, "We surrender...we are willing to submit...please don't kill us!"

Su She looked at the demon kneeling on the ground, his eyes showing no emotion, and said calmly, "The demons have committed countless evils, and their hands are stained with too much human blood. Surrender? It's too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, he uttered another word: "Execute!"

The golden character "诛" (Zhū), formed from concentrated golden energy, flew towards the three demons with a chilling killing intent.

Unlike the near-overwhelming battle on Su She's side, the atmosphere on Jiang Li's battlefield against four peak-level Creation Realm demons was much more somber.

These four demons were elites personally selected by the demon leader. Not only were their physical bodies as strong as iron, but they were also skilled at forming formations together. Their black demonic energy intertwined into a net, trapping Jiang Li tightly within the formation, making it difficult for her to break through for a time.

"Little girl, is that all you've got? You might as well surrender and become our prey!"

A demon wielding a bone knife grinned maliciously, brandishing the knife as black demonic energy condensed into a blade of energy, slashing towards Jiang Li.

The other three demons also attacked simultaneously, wielding bone staffs and spears in unison. Their demonic attacks surged like a tidal wave, blocking all of Jiang Li's evasive maneuvers.

Jiang Li's eyes narrowed, and her footwork changed, like a willow catkin in the wind, nimbly weaving through the dense attacks, her red robes leaving afterimages in the air.

She didn't rush to retaliate with her longsword, but instead kept parrying and dodging, seemingly passive, but actually searching for weaknesses in the four demons' formation.

"This girl is quite agile, but unfortunately she's too weak and can't break through our defenses at all!"

Seeing this, another demon spoke with disdain; their scales were incredibly hard.

Previously, Lin Jingxing and others' attacks only left shallow white marks on it. In their eyes, no matter how strong Jiang Li's sword energy was, it was nothing more than "scratching an itch".

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's lips curled into a cold smile.

She stopped dodging and suddenly stopped. The sword energy around her instantly subsided, and all her power was concentrated on the tip of her sword.

With a flick of her wrist, the longsword shot forward like a venomous snake poised to strike, as she uttered a soft shout.

"Thrust - Meteor Chasing the Moon!"

The moment the words fell, the longsword shot out like lightning, transforming into four dazzling cold lights, like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, each aimed at the throat, heart, and other vital points of the four demons.

The cold light arrived first, the sharp sound of the air being pierced was extremely piercing, the sword tip trembled and emitted a series of faint sounds, so fast that only four blurry light and shadow remained.

The four demons' expressions changed slightly; the speed of these four cold lights far exceeded their expectations!

But they still didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just Jiang Li's desperate struggle. They all circulated their demonic energy, pushing their scale armor defenses to the limit, and waited with cold smiles for the cold light to hit them.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Four crisp sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and the cold light struck the scales of the four demons as expected.

Contrary to their expectations of "dissipating sword energy," Jiang Li's sword tip possessed terrifying penetrating power.

Like a red-hot needle piercing through thick paper, it instantly broke through their proud scales!

"Um?"

Just as a demon was about to taunt, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest and looked down.

A small hole was seen oozing black blood from beneath the scales, and a sharp pain spread along the wound.

The other three demons also sensed something was wrong as Jiang Li's sword light grazed past them.

They thought it was just a tickle, like the attacks from the other cultivators, but they didn't expect that this seemingly gentle sword light could easily penetrate their bodies!

"How is this possible?!" The demon wielding the bone spear was filled with shock and rage. He swung the spear fiercely, trying to force Jiang Li back, but found his arm numb. He looked down...

A cold glint of light slashed a deep gash across the spear shaft, while his own shoulder had already been pierced by the sword light, black blood dripping down his arm.

Jiang Li didn't give them a chance to react. She moved swiftly, closing in again, her longsword thrusting forward once more. This time, she let out a soft shout.

"A glint of cold light!"

This sword strike was faster and more concentrated than before; the longsword no longer created afterimages but instead condensed into a single, intensely cold gleaming point.

Like a star in the night, it pierced straight at the throat of a demon! Just as the demon tried to block, the cold light pierced through his scales and went straight through his neck!

"Pfft!"
