Chapter 113

They were slaughtered by the demon race, their souls taken away.

The gratitude in his heart was beyond words.

And Hongxuan's actions over these years were indeed worthy of their generous treatment, courtesy, and respect.

Not only for his own peace of mind, but also for the sake of this human tribe that trusted him, Hongxuan could not easily abandon the Hengshan tribe.

He was even more extremely disgusted by the demon race that had repeatedly threatened the Hengshan tribe.

"Will you attack first, or shall I?" Houtu looked at Hongxuan and asked.

"I should go first. If you strike first, I reckon this demon army would suffer more than half casualties with just one move."

"Then I wouldn't be able to get any training."

"As long as you, Houtu, hold back the Demon Saint Jiuying, I will take care of the rest!"

Hongxuan said firmly.

Although, besides the Demon Saint Jiuying, who was at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, there were bound to be Great Luo Jinxian-level demon commanders in this demon army.

He was only at the peak of Taiyi, so he might not necessarily be able to handle them.

But what did Hongxuan have to fear?

This was the perfect opportunity to hone himself.

If he could kill a Great Luo Jinxian demon commander by his own strength, it would be an even better tempering for his Dao heart.

"Hmm, since you want to be tempered, then I won't kill Demon Saint Jiuying."

"I will leave him heavily injured, giving you the chance to land the final blow and kill him!"

Houtu smiled slightly; she had considered every aspect for Hongxuan's sake.

Even Hongxuan himself hadn't realized it.

"However, once Demon Saint Jiuying falls, it will inevitably draw Di Jun and Tai Yi here."

"It might even trigger a larger war."

"We must be mentally prepared."

"Hongxuan, I'll ask you one more time, do you really want to kill Demon Saint Jiuying?"

Houtu asked solemnly.

If Demon Saint Jiuying were only injured and not dead, Di Jun and Tai Yi wouldn't say much.

As for the death of a few demon commanders, it wasn't enough to alarm them.

Hongxuan's eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation.

"Kill him, show no mercy!"

Since he had already decided to be at odds with Jiuying until one of them died, there was no need to hold back.

As for alarming Di Jun and Tai Yi, so what?

Would Hongxuan be afraid?

Clearly, Di Jun and Tai Yi did not yet qualify to make him afraid.

Let alone Di Jun and Tai Yi, even the six Sages of the Primordial World could never make him afraid.

If he felt fear just because someone was stronger than him, his Dao heart would be too fragile.

……

"Speed up! Ahead is our target for this trip: the human Hengshan tribe!"

"Exterminate all the humans, then collect their souls and essence blood!"

Demon Saint Jiuying coldly and ruthlessly ordered the demons under his command.

"Yes, Tribe Leader, but what if that person who killed our demon commander Elder appears?"

"Hmph, since he dared to kill someone from my Jiuying clan, he will naturally pay the price. I will handle that person myself."

"You only need to slaughter the humans and collect their souls!"

Instantly, the morale of the entire demon army soared, and the terrifying demonic Qi almost shook the auspicious clouds above.

Their bodies were filled with bloodthirst; the number of humans they had already slaughtered was by no means small.

It was just a pity they hadn't encountered any ambushes from the Wu tribe.

Otherwise, they would never be as unscrupulous as they were now.

Just as the demon army was flying rapidly on demonic clouds.

Suddenly.

A ten-thousand-foot-long purple giant ruler flew from the distant horizon.

It struck them with a boom.

"Heaven-Opening Style, Slash!"

The cold words reached the ears of the entire demon army.

Boom!

The power of the top-tier acquired merit magic treasure was once again displayed to the fullest.

Hongxuan was aiming entirely for a full-scale attack.

He did not hold back in the slightest.

After all, there was a Quasi-Saint powerhouse and a Great Luo Jinxian powerhouse among them.

As for the small fry below the Great Luo level, they were automatically ignored.

Houtu was responsible for Demon Saint Jiuying, and he only needed to kill that Great Luo-level demon commander.

Of course.

Before the real battle, he would clear out all the small fry first.

To avoid unnecessary trouble at a critical moment.

"Hongmeng Measuring Ruler?!"

Demon Saint Jiuying's eyes flashed.

This was an acquired merit magic treasure!

When Hongjun lectured at Zixiao Palace, he had explained all the famous treasures of the Primordial World.

Among them, the Linglong Pagoda of Taiqing Laozi and the yet-to-appear Hongmeng Measuring Ruler were key points of the lecture.

He never expected to have the fortune to see it this time.

What was even more unbelievable was.

Such a supreme treasure was actually in the hands of a Taiyi Jinxian ant.

This made Jiuying extremely jealous.

If he could obtain this treasure, his status in the demon race would rise once again.

He would definitely be able to rank among the top ten Demon Saints.

Perhaps he could even reach the status of Fuxi or Kunpeng.

No, he must get his hands on the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

For a moment, killing intent surged wildly around Demon Saint Jiuying.

Not just because of the death of his subordinates, but more so to kill and seize the treasure.

"How bold, daring to ambush my demon army! You're courting death!"

Demon Saint Jiuying moved, preparing to kill Hongxuan.

A mere Taiyi Jinxian, he could easily destroy him with one move.

He was even fantasizing about the scene after obtaining the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

Unfortunately.

Just as his lethal attack was about to land on Hongxuan.

Suddenly.

An invisible defensive barrier blocked his path.

Even his strongest strike as an early-stage Quasi-Saint was helpless before this barrier.

"Who? Who is it? Daring to ruin this Demon Saint's good deed!" Jiuying roared in fury.

As soon as the words fell, a beautiful figure appeared beside Hongxuan.

She looked at him with an indifferent expression.

Hongxuan, however, gave a disdainful smile and ignored Jiuying.

He flew toward the remaining demon army.
