"What are you doing, Roc Demon King!"
"You really are suspicious. Tell me, are you a spy sent by the Supreme Heaven?!"
In an instant, these demon gods seemed to have been prepared, surrounding Fang Xiu completely, as if they were about to unleash a thunderous attack at the slightest provocation.
Fang Xiu remained unmoved, gazing indifferently at the demons, and said calmly, "These souls are all provisions for this king; how dare you slaughter them?"
The demons were stunned. They hadn't expected this to be Fang Xiu's reason for taking action. Rumor had it that this man was greedy by nature and had monopolized all the souls in the entire Lava Land and even the surrounding territories, leaving none for his followers. Seeing this today, it was indeed true.
The witch said angrily, "King Peng, this is our chosen attack strategy, you...!"
"You've made your decision? Did you even ask me?" Fang Xiu said arrogantly, a hint of contempt flashing in his tyrannical eyes: "A bunch of cowardly rats, you clearly outnumber the immortals and gods, yet you dare not attack head-on? You've disgraced Hell!"
"If you're afraid, then you'd better get out of here now. I alone am enough for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of demonic energy erupted from Fang Xiu's body, instantly sweeping across the entire Yellow Springs Domain.
The billions of souls that were being transferred suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, freezing in place without moving.
The five immortals and gods suddenly changed color and all looked towards this place.
"Who goes there!"
Fang Xiu took a step forward, standing tall against the sky, and said arrogantly, "I am... the Great Sage of Chaos!"
The powerful and resounding demonic sound echoed throughout the heavens and earth. At this moment, the witch and the others no longer needed to hide and exposed themselves.
They were shocked and furious, never expecting Fang Xiu to be so audacious as to expose their whereabouts right away.
Their suspicions about Fang Xiu reached their peak. The reason they hadn't been completely certain was mainly because they couldn't tell whether Fang Xiu was doing it on purpose or if it was just his nature.
After all, rumors of the Arcanist King's arrogance and conceit are rampant in Hell, and he even dared to defy Lucifer, so what he did today is in line with his character.
The witch and her accomplices revealed themselves with grim faces, their suspicious gazes constantly shifting between Fang Xiu and others. However, no matter how they looked at him, they couldn't believe he was acting.
Whoosh!
Three immortals, led by the white-robed sword immortal, arrived in an instant. In order to prevent the flames of war from spreading to the Yellow Springs Domain, they came specifically to intercept the demons.
As for Fang Xiu, they were unaware of his undercover identity, as this was a secret of the Supreme Heaven, and only Zhou Qingfeng and the Jade Emperor knew the truth.
"Do it!" the witch hissed, now that the die was cast.
The great battle broke out instantly.
The witch and the gargoyle confronted the white-robed swordsman directly.
The remaining two third-rank righteous gods were locked in battle with the fallen angels and hell knights.
As for Fang Xiu, he did not take any action, his eyes filled with contempt, as if he could not find an opponent worthy of fighting.
Clang!
The white-robed swordsman drew his longsword, its clatter shaking the heavens.
A sword aura, as if a galaxy were falling from the sky, shot out and tore through the void in an instant, unstoppable.
The gargoyle roared, extended its claws, and met the attack head-on without dodging or avoiding it.
Clang!!
A tremendous explosion rang out, and the gargoyle was cleaved back thousands of miles by the sword strike, but it was completely unharmed, with only a faint sword mark on its claws.
At that moment, an arrow formed from a mass of deathly energy silently pierced through the back of the white-robed swordsman.
He seemed to have sensed it beforehand, and with a single swing of his sword, he obliterated the Death Arrow.
But then, a buzzing sound rang out in the void, and hundreds of millions of death arrows shot out, while the gargoyles that had been repelled also rushed over.
The white-robed swordsman fought and retreated, facing numerous perilous situations.
The remaining two immortals were also in a difficult situation, facing a larger number of demon gods and engaging in a bitter battle.
The only thing that made them feel fortunate was that the seemingly invincible Great Sage Hun Tian, who appeared to be all-powerful, had been watching coldly without making a move; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.
"Peng Demon King, aren't you going to make a move?" The witch's eyes flashed with a fierce light, her threat unspoken.
Clearly, as long as Fang Xiu doesn't take action, she will inevitably label him as an undercover agent.
Fang Xiu smiled contemptuously: "A bunch of trash, do you really need me to take action against just three immortals?"
The witch and her companions were furious. How dare a mere third-rank Heavenly Demon God be so arrogant? Did he think he was Lucifer?
Fang Xiu's words instantly attracted the attention of the immortals and gods. Their gazes toward Fang Xiu were filled with apprehension. So... this third-rank Heavenly Demon God was the leader?
What abilities does he possess that allow him to command two second-rank Heavenly Demon Gods?
Just then, Fang Xiu made his move.
However, he didn't target the immortals or gods, but rather... the Underworld.
He appeared in the Yellow Springs Domain as if by teleportation, opened his mouth wide, and a violent devouring force erupted, instantly enveloping the entire Yellow Springs Domain.
The billions of souls in the Yellow Springs Domain flew into his mouth without any resistance, as if swallowed by a whale.
The white-robed swordsman and the others were furious, wishing they could grind Fang Xiu to dust.
"You dare, you fiend!!"
They wanted to stop it, but found it difficult to break free.
The witch and the others were slightly taken aback, then flew into a rage. That damned Roc Demon King actually took advantage of our battle to snatch the spoils of war!
According to the rules, after the demons conquer a region, these souls are to be distributed according to their strength. How could they be allowed to be devoured by a single demon?
"You...you deserve to die!!"
Suddenly, a voice filled with boundless killing intent rang out; it was the white-robed sword immortal.
He was clearly stimulated at this moment. His eyes were bloodshot, and a pure Yang sword intent that had been dormant in his body for a long time soared into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to change color!
The ancient longsword in his hand also burst forth with dazzling purple lightning.
The long sword suddenly shot out, pointing towards the sky.
Rumble!
A shocking scene unfolded: countless divine swords made of purple lightning emerged from the clouds high in the sky, densely packed and blotting out the sun, resembling a vast ocean of thunder.
"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, heed my command! Slay the demons!"
Amidst the white-robed sword immortal's icy voice, countless purple lightning swords fell like stars crashing down.
In an instant, there were no other colors in the world, only that deep, magnificent purple.
When the demons saw this scene, they felt a chill run through their bodies. The witch, in particular, trembled uncontrollably in the face of the countless divine swords.
Images from ancient times flashed through her mind. She had once seen these countless divine swords before. The white-robed sword immortal at that time didn't even glance at her. As the divine swords fell, she, along with the other celestial demons, was blasted from her origin.
Now, the two figures slowly overlapped before her eyes, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she said in a trembling voice:
"Nine Heavens Thunder Control Sword Technique, he... he is the ancestor of Eastern sword immortals, Lü Dongbin!! He is about to regain his memories of his past life!"
