“Would you dare to break your oath?” the demon god Wu Yunhuo raged.
A feeble demon dared to haggle with him? In the abyssal darkness, countless demons knelt before him, none daring to defy his commands. Those who resisted… were already dead! Among his countless subjects, demons of this level weren’t even worth his second glance; they lacked the worthiness to capture his attention.
Only because this was the Xia Clan’s world! As a demon god, his power was severely limited here, hence why he had made a pact with this weak demon.
“Great Demon God, I would never dare to violate the Abyssal Oath. However, the pact also clearly states that I cannot be asked to do something that would certainly lead to my death,” the servant replied.
“Tabishi! This Dongbo Xueying became an extraordinary being merely twenty years ago. He has only recently ascended to the early Saint level, with an extremely short cultivation period… with your strength, you could kill him in a single move! You have nearly one breath of time to fight. Within a single breath, you can easily unleash over a hundred attacks.”
Once the Xia Clan’s extraordinary beings detect a demon’s presence, they immediately report it. However, it generally takes about one breath of time for the Xia Clan’s demigods to arrive.
This is because instantaneous teleportation, while swift, only covers short distances. Multiple teleportations accumulate time, making them unsuitable for long-distance travel.
Alternatively, tearing open a spatial passage for traversal also consumes some time, roughly one breath’s worth.
This single breath… is the most perilous moment for the Xia Clan’s extraordinary beings!
If they are lucky, the Xia Clan’s extraordinary being discovers the demon, but the demon does not notice him. In that case, it’s easy—just report it, and the Xia Clan’s demigods will arrive and effortlessly eliminate the demon.
But if the demon also discovers the Xia Clan’s extraordinary being and launches a counterattack, then it becomes dangerous.
It would be best if the Xia Clan’s extraordinary being can kill the demon. If not, he must do his utmost to survive within one breath of time!
Historically…
In the wars against demons, many Xia Clan’s extraordinary beings perished in demonic counterattacks!
“If I kill him, the Xia Clan’s demigods will arrive shortly after. How can I escape?”
“I will take you and instantly teleport away. Although my power is suppressed, when it comes to the application of the laws of reality, these Xia Clan beings are nowhere near my level. I can easily escape with you!”
“Half a breath! I will fight for half a breath. If I fail, you must take me away immediately!” the plump servant replied mentally.
“Fine! For half a breath, even if you fail, I will still take you away!” the demon god Wu Yunhuo agreed and began to anticipate.
Once Dongbo Xueying is successfully killed, he would take the demon and flee immediately.
Once the human demigods arrive, they will certainly chase according to the spatial fluctuations… Humans won’t pay attention to those weak mortals in the short term. It will also take time for the mortals of Longshan Pavilion to arrive, giving his subordinates in the hidden corners of the headquarters sufficient time to dismantle and transfer the precious treasures.
Negotiate if possible!
If negotiations fail, then kill!
The treasures must be protected at all costs!
…
“What’s this? The mighty Demon God, already furious to the point of madness?” Dongbo Xueying looked at the red-skinned, horned, black-robed demon god before him, unaware that the demon god had already secretly reached an agreement with another demon. After all, the demon god’s mastery over the profound laws of reality was too deep.
Compared to the demon god,
he was merely a fledgling, stumbling along the path of the extraordinary.
“Hmph.” Wu Yunhuo snorted coldly.
As the cold snort faded—
Whoosh!
From among the group of servants hundreds of meters away, the plump servant suddenly burst into action. In an instant, he had crossed the corridor and appeared before Dongbo Xueying.
“Not good!” Dongbo Xueying’s expression changed. He clearly saw the plump, seemingly kind servant’s body erupting with countless black scales. His form rapidly expanded, reaching a height of two zhang. His massive hands, covered in red scales, wielded a pair of enormous bull-horn axes. The axe blades were razor-sharp, enough to send chills down anyone’s spine. His face was covered in fine red scales, and his dark yellow eyes brimmed with savagery.
“A demon!”
Dongbo Xueying’s consciousness immediately reported through his communication ring to the Xinghuo Palace—demon detected!
…
“A demon?”
The nearest demigod to Dongbo Xueying was Chi Qiu Bai, the Long Wind Knight within Anyang Province.
At this moment, he was within the Long Wind Academy, guiding his two disciples.
“Xueying has discovered a demon?” Chi Qiu Bai stood up abruptly. His communication ring had received the message, along with the precise map coordinates of Dongbo Xueying’s current location. Without sparing a word for his disciples, Chi Qiu Bai rushed out, knowing that every second counted. A slight delay could cost the Xia Clan’s extraordinary being his life!
Swish.
The space before him violently tore open, and Chi Qiu Bai stepped into it.
…
As Dongbo Xueying reported to the Xinghuo Palace, he simultaneously summoned a spear into his hand—his half-divine treasure, the ‘Starstone Fire Cloud Spear’.
“Ha~~~”
The ugly, massive foot crushed the stone tiles beneath it, causing the ground to dent inward. The tiles shattered into powder, and the surrounding ground cracked. The enormous bull-horn axe in his right hand swung, as if slicing through heaven and earth. In an instant, the massive blade had already swept toward Dongbo Xueying.
Too fast! Too fierce!
The axe blade was taller than Dongbo Xueying himself, and the entire axe was enveloped in a fiery red glow, making Dongbo Xueying feel as if a volcano had erupted!
An endless, ferocious might, seemingly unstoppable!
“Whoosh!”
The moment Dongbo Xueying grasped the spear, he Without hesitation unleashed his most powerful attack at this moment.
The Ultimate Piercing!
Rip—
Dongbo Xueying’s figure flickered. Along with the spear, he instantly vanished and reappeared about a zhang high in the air to the left front. It was as if he had teleported a zhang’s distance in an instant, completely evading the terrifying horizontal slash of the bull-horn axe… and at the same time, Dongbo Xueying’s spear lunged directly at the demon’s head!
Too fast! Too strange!
The other massive hand, which had been drawn back in front of his body, quickly thrust the bull-horn axe forward. The axe face was about a zhang wide and long. In a narrow margin, it blocked Dongbo Xueying’s spearhead!
“Boom!”
This unrestrained, full-force strike generated a terrifying shockwave upon impact.
The shockwave exploded outward in all directions. Instantly, within a hundred-meter radius, countless stone slabs shattered into powder. The silver-robed leader who had been pouring wine was directly torn apart by the blast, dying on the spot! Even the demon god’s world projection hastily flickered away, almost instantly relocating several miles away.
“Ahh!”
“No!”
The elders, the Silver Moon Knights, the servants, including Nan Men Xin,
as the stone slabs turned to dust, the ground around them shattered into pieces. Except for one named Title-level warrior who left behind a relatively intact corpse, the rest were completely torn apart.
“How could this happen…” Nan Men Xin couldn’t comprehend, even in death, how the death of merely a Viscount Yin could lead to such a catastrophic consequence?
