"You're right, we demon beasts and you humans have been irreconcilable enemies since ancient times, so there's no need for us to show mercy, right?" The Demon King slowly lowered his sword in front of everyone. The disciples of the Demon Suppression Sect immediately stood in front of Xuan Tong to prevent the Demon King from attacking him.
Meanwhile, the others were also on high alert, gripping their weapons tightly.
The Demon King did not rush to make a move. Its gaze swept over them with disdain, but suddenly stopped on Bai Hao—this human gave it a strange feeling, a sense of...danger!
Yes, he sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Bai Hao. He hadn't felt this way in a long time, and now he was experiencing it again from an insignificant human—it was simply unbelievable.
Is it just my imagination...?
The Demon King had only a fleeting moment of doubt in his mind before dismissing the absurd idea and saying, "Emperor Chu allowed you to come here because he believes in your strength. As the future powerhouses of humanity, I cannot let you leave today."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of black gas immediately emerged from the gaps in the Demon King's armor and spread outwards. At the same time, a large amount of black gas also emerged from the ground around him.
However, the target of these black energies was not Bai Hao and his group, but the corpses of monsters scattered all over the valley!
The black mist transformed into wisps, like tiny black snakes, which burrowed into the corpses of the demonic beasts. The next moment, those demonic beasts that had been completely dead actually stood up again!
Some of the monsters' bodies were still relatively intact, while others, whose corpses were half-decomposed, actually stood up, their bodies shrouded in black energy, as if they had been reborn!
All the dead monsters rose up again at this moment!
Seeing the "resurrected" demonic beasts around them, everyone's expressions gradually turned serious. Without saying a word, they immediately separated, forming a defensive line back to back. Xuan Tong also picked up the remaining half of the spearhead, looked at the demon king, and whispered to the others, "I'll hold him off. The rest is up to you."
"good!"
Everyone nodded.
Just as Xuan Tong was about to make a move, Bai Hao suddenly stood in front of Xuan Tong and said, "Elder Xuan, let me do it this time. You go and help them."
"You?" Xuan Tong was stunned for a moment as he looked at Bai Hao's back.
"Yes, you're no match for him, don't push yourself."
Despite the rudeness of those words, Xuan Tong couldn't get angry. Looking at Bai Hao's back, he suddenly remembered that besides the sect leader Su Yuewan, the Luo Hai Sect also had a disciple with top-level cultivation named "Bai Hao"!
This is the person right in front of you!
"roar!"
Before they could have much time to chat, the resurrected demonic beasts charged forward again, while Bai Hao slowly floated up and came to the Demon King. Looking at the black longsword in the Demon King's hand, he said, "Your sword is very strange."
The Demon King's gaze was as calm as still water. He glanced at the sword in his hand and said indifferently, "This is a weapon I obtained from the Upper Realm. I will use this sword to end the era of you humans."
"Really? What a coincidence, I also have a sword like that." A playful smile appeared on Bai Hao's lips as a black longsword appeared in his hand. It was the longsword that he and Jiang Bai had been ambushed by the Shenhai Sect on their way to Huangshi City. One of the Shenhai Sect elders later "came back to life" and was carrying.
This longsword is very similar to the longsword in the Demon King's hand, with only slight differences in shape, but their materials are obviously the same, both being jet black, and the aura they exude is almost identical.
No one would believe it if you said they were unrelated.
When the Demon King saw the longsword in Bai Hao's hand, a flicker of surprise crossed his usually calm eyes, which then grew increasingly cold as he looked at Bai Hao and said, "Where did you get this sword?!"
"Naturally, I obtained it from its previous owner. I just wonder if that person was a friend of yours, Demon King." Bai Hao's tone carried a hint of meaningful provocation as he lightly brandished his longsword, drawing a series of black lines.
"This knife is indeed excellent, but I wonder how it compares to the sword in your hand, Demon King, which one would be slightly better?"
At first, Bai Hao couldn't remember where he had seen the longsword in the Demon King's hand until just now.
When he fought the owner of this longsword last time, he had experienced firsthand how extraordinary it was; even his ancient divine body dared not face its sharpness.
If the longsword in the Demon King's hand and this knife are a pair, then their sharpness should be the same, and should not be underestimated.
"I didn't expect you to have 'Thousand Scenes,' it's truly beyond my expectations. But my 'Thousand Leaves' isn't necessarily going to lose to you either. We'll find out the outcome in this battle!" Before the words had even finished, the Demon King took the initiative to attack, his figure flashing through the air as he flew towards Bai Hao with Thousand Leaves in his hand!
With a soft hum, Bai Hao, wielding Qianjing, flew over as well. The two clashed, the sound of their weapons colliding crisp and loud, leaving behind trails of dark energy in the air.
Chikage and Chiba are indeed a perfect pair; neither can gain the upper hand over the other, and they don't even show a scratch after their clashes. Instead, they become stronger with each battle.
Holding Qianjing in his hand, Bai Hao could feel that during the battle, Qianjing seemed to have its own consciousness, becoming more and more frantic, as if it wanted to break free from Bai Hao's control.
"Bang!"
In another exchange, both sides retreated more than ten steps in mid-air, tacitly agreeing not to continue fighting.
Surprised as he stroked the blade, which hadn't left a single mark after such a fierce battle, Bai Hao couldn't help but marvel at the longsword, "This sword is even stronger than I imagined."
"I didn't expect you to actually be able to control Qianjing. It seems I underestimated you before. You are the strongest among you. I admit you are my opponent!"
After a brief exchange, the Demon King discovered that Bai Hao's cultivation was far superior to Xuan Tong's, and he couldn't even discern Bai Hao's true potential. Such a person was his greatest threat!
"No, you are not qualified to be my opponent." Bai Hao looked up, his expression solemn, and the next moment, his figure disappeared.
Yes, in the Demon King's eyes, Bai Hao simply vanished!
The next moment, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind, which made the Demon King's expression change drastically. Without turning his head, he burst out with his fastest speed to dodge to the side. The next moment, a thin sword aura flashed past him like a meteor, and even the space was instantly pierced through!
But that wasn't the end of it. Before the Demon King could even catch his breath, Bai Hao reappeared in front of him, slashing down with Qian Jing without hesitation.
The oncoming sword energy made the Demon King's pupils shrink suddenly. Without hesitation, he raised Thousand Leaves to block in front of him, but the powerful force still shattered his defense in an instant, and he was shot to the ground like a cannonball.
boom--!
