Chapter 81

Hong Zun grabbed the Black Tiger Demon King by the throat. Through the formation, it looked as if he were standing side-by-side with Xu Jie.

At this moment, Hong Zun looked at Xu Jie inside the formation with an expressionless face and said, word by word:

“If you don’t send Ye Changqing out to me today, this will be your fate. Understand?”

*Gulp.* The sound of swallowing saliva. In Xu Jie’s eyes, this Hong Zun was like a completely different person from usual. Was this some evil ghost from hell?

At the same time, the Black Tiger Demon King, beaten half to death by Hong Zun, his aura withered, spoke incoherently.

“You go too far... you Dao One Sect go too far! I am the Tiger Ridge Demon King, this King will not let this matter rest, absolutely not... Blood Tiger, save me!”

At first, the voice was very small, perhaps even inaudible if one wasn’t paying attention, but at the end, as if experiencing a final burst of life, the Black Tiger Demon King suddenly roared.

The tiger’s roar echoed through the mountains and forests, so loud it blew away the white clouds in the sky. With the infusion of demonic power, it covered a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

Countless humans and demons looked up at the sky at this moment.

“Blood Tiger, save me.”

“Blood Tiger, save me.”

“Blood Tiger, save me.”

The sound lingered for a long time, but soon after, a painful wail followed.

At the offshore camp, just as the Black Tiger Demon King finished roaring, Hong Zun punched him directly in the stomach.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and the Black Tiger Demon King, who had just had a brief moment of revival, instantly wilted again.

“Now, within ten breaths, I want to see Ye Changqing.”

Turning his head to look at Xu Jie, Hong Zun said coldly.

Hearing this, Xu Jie stood frozen, as if scared silly, and did not react.

Seeing this, Hong Zun punched the Black Tiger Demon King’s stomach again, and another mouthful of blood sprayed out.

“Understand?”

No reaction.

Another punch to the Black Tiger Demon King’s stomach.

“Do not challenge my patience again.”

No reaction. Another punch, and the Black Tiger Demon King lost consciousness.

Time shifts back slightly, to a place not far from the offshore camp called Flying Eagle Ravine.

This is the largest gathering place for demonic beasts in the east of Dongzhou, commanded by the Golden Eagle Demon King.

The Blood Tiger Demon King happened to be here, discussing matters with the Golden Eagle Demon King.

“What did the Water Tribe say?”

“Everything is prepared; we are just waiting for the right moment to strike.”

“Very good. In recent years, the human race has become increasingly powerful. We of the demon race have had to play along with them, but this time, we must turn the tables once and for all.”

Just as they were speaking, an angry roar suddenly came from the sky.

“Blood Tiger, save me...”

Hearing this, the Blood Tiger Demon King stood up abruptly, his face darkening.

“It’s Black Tiger.”

As fellow Demon Kings of Tiger Ridge, the relationship between Blood Tiger and Black Tiger was naturally close, like brothers.

Hearing the Black Tiger Demon King’s cry for help, the Blood Tiger Demon King could not possibly ignore it, and immediately roared.

“Damn it, it’s the offshore camp.”

The Golden Eagle Demon King on the side also stood up hurriedly, his face full of anger.

“Blood Tiger Demon King, no need to rush. This King will go with you; we will certainly rescue the Black Tiger Demon King.”

Immediately, the Golden Eagle Demon King let out a cry that resounded throughout Flying Eagle Ravine.

“All demons, hear my command! Follow me to flatten the offshore camp and rescue the Black Tiger Demon King!”

As the words fell, the entire Flying Eagle Ravine erupted in chaos, with demonic energy surging into the sky.

Like black clouds pressing down on a city, countless demonic beasts rushed out from all corners of the ravine, led by the Golden Eagle Demon King and the Blood Tiger Demon King, racing toward the offshore camp.

The two places were not far apart; in just a quarter of an hour, the demon army arrived at the offshore camp.

From afar, they saw the Black Tiger Demon King, already unconscious and being held by Hong Zun like a small chick.

The Blood Tiger Demon King was instantly enraged and roared.

“Stop!”

Looking toward the sound, they saw countless demonic beasts in the distant sky, a black mass rushing toward them.

Those flying in the sky and those running on the ground were so numerous they looked like a black ocean wave.

However, Hong Zun did not change his expression in the slightest. He turned and stepped forward, facing the beast horde directly.

Before the countless demonic beasts, Hong Zun and Qing Shi appeared very small and thin, like a lone boat in the vast ocean.

At the same time, inside the formation, seeing the beast horde approaching, Zhao Zhengping unsheathed his long sword without a word and turned to walk outside the formation.

And Xu Jie, who had been scared silly, also suddenly snapped back to his senses, his face darkening.

“Holy crap, these beasts have gone too far! Junior brothers, follow me and charge out to beat them up!”

“Kill!”

“Charge!”

The Divine Sword Peak disciples, who had been playing a battle of wits with Hong Zun, now did not hesitate at all, shouting as they charged out.

Blood Tiger did not know what was happening inside the formation; his eyes were locked firmly on Hong Zun.

Seeing Black Tiger’s miserable state, the Blood Tiger Demon King’s killing intent surged, and he was beside himself with rage.

“Hong Zun, hand over Black Tiger!”

Hearing this, Hong Zun glanced disdainfully at the unconscious Black Tiger Demon King and tossed him aside like trash.

“A piece of trash. If you have the ability, come and take him.”

“Hong Zun, don’t go too far! If you don’t give me an explanation today, this King will never let this rest.”

Facing Hong Zun’s attitude, the Blood Tiger Demon King gritted his teeth in anger. This was not taking Tiger Ridge seriously at all.

The Golden Eagle Demon King on the side also said coldly.

“Do you really think your Dao One Sect can cover the sky with one hand in this Dongzhou?”

“Isn’t that the case?”

Hong Zun replied calmly. He was in a very bad mood today.

As soon as these words were spoken, a thick killing intent surged in the eyes of both the Blood Tiger Demon King and the Golden Eagle Demon King.

“Hong Zun, this is not your Dao One Sect. There are only two of you. Do you think I really don’t dare to kill you?”

“Try it.”

Facing the countless demonic beasts before him, Hong Zun did not feel the slightest bit of worry, even though only he and Qing Shi were present.

Hearing this, the Golden Eagle Demon King laughed with killing intent.

“Good, good, good! You want to die? This King will grant your wish. I want to see how you two can deal with the demons of my Flying Eagle Ravine. Kill them!”

Following the Golden Eagle Demon King’s order, the numerous demonic beasts let out a roar and charged at Hong Zun and the other.

The earth shook and the mountains swayed. Facing the impact of the demons, which was like a flood, Hong Zun stood unmoved, a faint smile on his lips, full of confidence.

The roars of the demonic beasts were incessant. Regardless of their cultivation or strength, their momentum was truly terrifying.

Just as the beast horde was about to reach Hong Zun, a series of battle cries came from behind. Numerous Divine Sword Peak disciples were seen charging out of the formation with swords in hand.

Xu Jie, who had previously refused to leave the formation, was now leading the charge at the very front with Zhao Zhengping.

“Junior brothers, charge! Beat them up!”

“Kill!”

Hearing the battle cries from behind, the smile on Hong Zun’s lips grew even wider.

Although his disciples might truly be unfilial in some aspects, there was one thing Hong Zun could be certain of: when something truly happened, his old bones could trust these little brats one hundred percent.

Just like now, the disciples did not hesitate to pass him and Qing Shi, colliding fiercely with the beast horde.

Zhao Zhengping and Xu Jie, who had been making his kidneys ache with anger earlier, were the first to charge in.

Slashing a demonic beast down with one sword, Xu Jie’s eyes were filled with killing intent; the playful look from before was nowhere to be found.

He had changed into a completely different person, and the other disciples were the same.

Each one of them had transformed into a god of slaughter.
