Chapter 544: Chapter 153: The Tier Four Demon Emperor Appears!

"Who dares to play tricks here, come out if you dare!"

The square-faced man said in a deep voice.

"Human?"

"I am not of your Human Race!"

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man in a blue robe appeared at the entrance, with a long tail dragging behind him, extremely incongruous!

His sudden appearance startled everyone present!

"Demon Emperor!"

The crowd couldn’t help but burst into an uproar!

A Tier Four Demon Beast is a being of the same realm as a Nascent Soul Cultivator among humans, absolutely not something they, as Core Formation Cultivators, can contend with!

They wanted to leave, but the entrance was already blocked by this Tier Four Demon Emperor,

For a moment, no one dared to approach again, instead slowly retreating to the side of Fang Kui and others.

Amidst the crowd, Zhou Xun’s expression showed a sudden realization.

"Now it seems that the newly refined Array Base was indeed a tactic of the Demon Race. Thinking back to the scene when the demon appeared, it instantly became clear,"

"This demon must have cracked the Tier Four Array in advance, hid inside, and set up a Concealing Restriction to hide and monitor everyone!"

"Then it quietly lit ’Milo Fragrance’, triggering the evil thoughts in the hearts of many Cultivators, trying to make the Human Race Cultivators slaughter each other,"

"Only to appear at the final moment to reap the benefits!"

"Indeed, a clever calculation!"

With this understanding, Zhou Xun felt a little more at ease!

Since the demon made such complicated arrangements, its strength must not be too overwhelming,

Otherwise, it could just use brute force to crush them!

"In that case, it might be my chance!"

Currently, he has reached the Late-Stage Core Formation, with strength greatly increased. Even before his breakthrough, he could easily crush a Tier Three Top-Grade Ink Flood Dragon,

This left Zhou Xun without a real sense of his own strength,

This newly emerged Tier Four Demon Emperor serves as an excellent benchmark!

"Time to test my current strength!" Zhou Xun thought, feeling eager.

Unfortunately, the Demon Race hadn’t revealed all its forces yet, so Zhou Xun held back his information and continued to observe.

...

"What do you intend, sir? Even though you’re a Tier Four Demon Emperor, surely you can’t swallow all thirty-plus of us Core Formation Cultivators!"

The square-faced man said in a deep voice, feeling slightly relieved in his heart!

If there’s only one Tier Four Demon Emperor, no matter how strong it is, it can’t handle so many opponents.

The Three Great Influences alone have eight Late-Stage Core Formation members, not to mention that formidable figure from earlier. Thinking of this, Fang Kui glanced at Zhou Xun,

Seeing Zhou Xun’s relaxed demeanor, Fang Kui felt reassured!

Then, he loudly addressed the Human Race Golden Core cultivators on their side:

"Everyone, let’s join forces; what fear do we have of this one Tier Four Demon Emperor?"

"Ah...naive!" The middle-aged man looked playfully at Fang Kui, who was rallying the Human Race Core Formations,

Then waved his hand, slowly uttering a few words:

"Leave none alive!"

No sooner had the words fallen!

Over forty Tier Three Great Demons appeared behind the middle-aged man, their momentum overwhelming.

Seeing this, the Human Race Cultivators’ expressions changed drastically!

The number of these demon beasts far exceeds theirs; even in direct combat, they might not stand a chance,

Let alone with a Tier Four Demon Emperor eyeing them eagerly nearby!

In an instant, the situation took a severe downturn, instantly plunging into crisis.

Fang Kui’s heart sank!

"Roar!"

At this moment, one demon beast after another bypassed the middle-aged man’s position and charged towards the Human Race Core Formation Cultivators.

"Gentlemen, today we have no choice but to fight to the death!"

Fang Kui shouted angrily!

"Fight to the death!"

With those words, a ten-plus-zhang Ghost Head Staff shot into the sky, aiming at a Tier Three High-Grade Crab Demon!

This situation also ignited the anger of the crowd,

Most of them had participated in the confrontation with the South Sea Demon Race, having gone through several bloody battles, lacking neither courage nor blood,

"Kill!"

"Fight to the death!"

The shouts of fury echoed, each displaying their means!

Various colors of spirit light flickered, overwhelmingly bombarding the demon beasts opposite them!

Wenn Yue and Li Daniu leaned on each other, dealing with the attacks of the Joyful Shrimp Demon and the Ghost Demon, barely holding on!

A dry, thin old man in gray clothing ghostly moved around the battle’s edge, concealing his aura to the extreme, transforming into a virtual shadow, occasionally launching surprise attacks,

Within a short time, he caused the demise of two Middle-Grade Demon Kings!

To the surprise of all, no one noticed him, not even the Tier Four Great Demon!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but commend,

"The concealing technique of this person is superb, no less than mine!"

Then, with a flash, he blended into the crowd, his gaze calm, scanning the Great Demons surging ahead, sighing:

"What a pity, no Thunder Attribute Great Demons!"

Previously, the two Tier Three High-Grade Thunder Attribute Cores gifted by Marquis Feng Yu were long consumed,

If he could obtain one or two more, it would ease his cultivation.

Suddenly—

Zhou Xun’s gaze sharpened, his face showing delight,

"Jade-Eyed Python, a Wood Attribute High-Grade Demon Beast!"

Immediately he activated a spell, flipped his palm, and a short black blade appeared in his hand, precisely the "Extreme Blade."

This treasure is ultimate in sharpness, the nemesis of these physically robust demon beasts!

Slowly injecting mana!

"Buzz!"

The Extreme Blade buzzed, emitting a faint black glimmer,

Then with a flash, Zhou Xun vanished from his original spot, reappearing above the head of the entirely green python!

Pfff—

A black gleam flashed; the Extreme Blade pierced through the Jade-Eyed Python’s head in an instant, exiting through the lower jaw.

The Jade-Eyed Python felt a sudden heaviness atop its head, followed by a sharp pain, then blackness descended upon its vision, losing consciousness instantly,

The Tier Three High-Grade Great Demon perished just like that!

With a wave, he stored the giant python’s corpse into his storage bag.

Zhou Xun then fixed his gaze on another Jade Water Dragon Fish!

As he flashed into action, yet another Wood Attribute Tier Three Great Demon was collected.

"Unfortunately, there are only these two with Wood Attribute High-Grade Demons, how unfortunate!" Zhou Xun showed a hint of regret.

At that moment, the Demon Emperor also noticed the changes on the field,

Two High-Grade Great Demons had fallen instantly!

The Great Demons on the field were all his subordinates, and among High-Grade Demon Kings, he had only eleven under his command,

In just a few breaths, two had fallen, how could he accept this,

Out of anger, he shouted fiercely:

"How dare you slaughter Wuh Mou’s subordinates!"

A terrifying wave of demonic power surged, followed by the appearance of an ugly Demon Crocodile, its true form as the Demon Emperor!

The blue-black outer skin was covered with conical bumps, resembling armor,

Then its jaws opened wide,

A black beam of light about a zhang thick blasted out, carrying a strong wave of spiritual power, aiming at Zhou Xun!

A Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator of the Human Race happened to be in the beam’s path,

His face changed dramatically at the sight, hurriedly using a spell to dodge, but it was too late!

The beam grazed his body,

Instantly vanishing from the neck down, the mana light shield on the surface offered no resistance whatsoever!

The attack was so formidable, Zhou Xun changed his spell, disappearing from the spot, easily dodging the beam.

It struck the restraining area in the back, creating a gap several zhang wide!
