A group of lesser demons were filled with despair.
"Hey, look at that orange cat!"
A butcher with a face full of scars pointed his blood-stained finger at Yu Luo, who was lying motionless on the ground.
"It's a bit dirty, but judging from its build, its fur must be in good condition!"
Another hunter with a pointed snout and monkey-like face chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Hurry up! Master Qian said, don't let these little beasts die!"
"Only the skin of a living demon, skin peeled off while it's still alive, is truly flawless and can fetch an astronomical price!"
These words were like the most vicious curse.
The surrounding demons trembled, and the last glimmer of light in their eyes went out completely.
The little fox with the broken leg let out a desperate wail.
Yu Luo merely raised her eyelids; in her amber cat-like eyes, there was no fear, only indifference.
She watched the humans closing in, her cat-like face remaining calm.
"Little Orange! Run!"
A trembling squirrel suddenly darted out of a nearby tree hole and anxiously nudged Yu Luo.
"Forget about us, let as many as possible escape!"
A wounded rabbit spirit nearby shook its head bitterly.
"Run? Where can we run to?"
"Hahaha! Still trying to run?"
The butchers burst into laughter, their laughter filled with cruelty.
"Today, none of you will escape!"
As these people slowly approached, Yu Luo felt as if something within her weakened body had been stirred.
A suppressed force is stirring.
She instinctively raised her paw.
A barely perceptible wisp of golden light circled her delicate pink fingertip, then quickly disappeared.
"You monster, where do you think you're going!"
A loud, energetic shout suddenly came from afar.
Immediately afterwards, a loud whooshing sound rang out!
One after another, gleaming sword blades came rushing in from behind the forest like a torrential rain!
Behind the hunters and butchers, a portly merchant in a brocade robe wore a smug smile.
He stroked his mustache and proudly showed it off to the people around him.
"See that? The person I invited is the most powerful swordsman in the world right now!"
"I heard that he once studied under that powerful cultivator in the desolate mountains! Although he only learned a little bit, it's more than enough to deal with these minor demons!"
"Just you wait, I'll skin these little beasts alive and pull out their tendons!"
A desolate mountain? A cultivator?
Upon hearing these words, Yu Luo felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had heard them somewhere before.
Upon hearing the words "skinned and dismembered," the surrounding animals instantly bristled!
They stared in terror at the countless sword blades flying through the air, too exhausted to even flee.
The sharp blade was about to pierce them all!
At the crucial moment, a crisp sound rang out.
A faint ray of golden light drifted in from who-knows-where and gently collided with the foremost sword blade.
The seemingly indestructible blade shattered into dust the moment it touched the golden light, just like fragile glass.
Immediately afterwards, a series of clanging and banging sounds filled the air.
The rain of swords, right before the eyes of everyone, including demons, was easily crushed into dust by that seemingly weak golden light.
The woods fell silent instantly.
All the laughter of the butchers and hunters was stuck in their throats.
The smug smile on Qian Fushang's face also froze on his face.
Their mouths were agape, their eyes wide open.
"Impossible! How could there be a powerful demon among you? I've already inquired about it. The snake demon that came out of your Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain has already been slain by the Mountain Goddess!"
"There can't possibly be another powerful demon. Who is it? Who is helping you?"
The wealthy businessman roared angrily, but there was no response from the surroundings.
In fact, even the lesser demons looked over in horror. After being chased for so many days, they still thought that some extraordinary person had been invited by the wealthy merchant to hunt them down, and they remained vigilant.
