Chapter 1460: Withdraw, where to withdraw?

Having broken through to Emperor Sovereign for many years, this demon emperor has also seen plenty of battle, his combat experience rich.

Knowing that facing both Yun Xiantai and Dongfang Hong simultaneously, it basically had no chance of victory, so it tried desperately to buy time.

Suffering a bit of injury for that was nothing.

This decision was originally correct, but unexpectedly, after all its calculations, it never expected there to be such a shameless Emperor Sovereign powerhouse who would poison his sword.

Emperor Sovereign powerhouses normally have their own pride, so how could this person before them be so despicable?

Originally it was an attack that could be healed easily with a single sword strike causing no serious injury.

But because of the deadly poison, the demon emperor's condition took a sharp turn for the worse.

This is thanks to Yun Xiantai's dosage; according to normal usage, the poison the Yongye assassin gave Yun Xiantai would have been enough for five uses.

But Yun Xiantai used the whole bottle at once, saying, according to him, using more poison makes it more potent.

So this guy actually used five times the amount.

At this moment, with so much poison entering the demon emperor's body, it instantly left him utterly bewildered.

"How the hell much poison did you use..............."

Gritting his teeth, he cursed Yun Xiantai angrily, but Yun Xiantai's demon language was completely clumsy; he didn't really understand what it meant, and directly swung his sword at the demon emperor.

Seeing this, the demon emperor hastily dodged, not daring to touch Yun Xiantai's long sword again.

The poison inside him came in wave after wave, seemingly endless; not only was the poison potent, but the dosage had reached an extremely exaggerated level.

It felt like a poison that would kill with a single drop, yet you gulped down a bucket of it.

Right now the demon emperor feels exactly like that—utterly screwed.

On one hand he had to deal with the frantic attacks of Yun Xiantai and Dongfang Hong; on the other hand he had to cope with the deadly poison inside him.

Under these circumstances, the demon emperor naturally found it increasingly difficult.

Yun Xiantai obviously wouldn't miss this chance, launching a fierce assault together with Dongfang Hong.

Moreover, during the fight they hit the demon emperor several more times, making the poison even more vicious.

"My life is over..............."

Feeling his condition deteriorate further, the demon emperor plunged completely into despair.

He never expected to end up like this, being forced into this situation by others.

Moreover, even now he still doesn't know who is killing him; Yun Xiantai and Dongfang Hong are currently disguised as demons.

He had been struggling desperately, but eventually his strength ran out.

Under the poison's corrosion, his wounds grew ever more severe, making it hard to continue fending off Yun Xiantai and Dongfang Hong.

Yun Xiantai also didn't waste time, seizing the opportunity to first behead the demon emperor with a sword.

Dongfang Hong took the chance to point a finger, the finger-light piercing the demon emperor's chest, leaving a bloody hole there.

Their spiritual power entered the demon emperor's body through the wounds, wildly ravaging his vitality.

Not even his soul was spared.

In the end, the demon emperor still fell, filled with resentment.

After slaying the demon emperor, Yun Xiantai extended his divine sense and quickly located the three demon yuan fruits.

"I'll get the demon yuan fruit; you take the other treasures."

Since things have come to this, with such a commotion, the other things in the Black Demon Swamp naturally cannot be overlooked.

Might as well not do half measures—better to completely empty it out.

Hearing that, Dongfang Hong nodded, and the two headed straight for the depths of the Black Demon Swamp.

At this point, the other demons in the Black Demon Swamp had mostly been slain by Dongfang Huang, and Yun Xiantai encountered no obstruction along the way, arriving at the location of the demon yuan fruit.

Seeing the three demon yuan fruits before him, Yun Xiantai without hesitation plucked them and stored them in his space ring.

He also casually put the surrounding spiritual fruits into his bag.

At that moment, Dongfang Huang's battle had also ended; seeing Yun Xiantai and Dongfang Hong still busy gathering treasures there, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said.

"Still not leaving?"

Why be greedy now? The demon reinforcements could arrive any moment; if we don't run now, when will we?

Hearing that, Yun Xiantai and Dongfang Hong also weren't greedy, taking as much as they could; soon the three vanished above the Black Demon Swamp, heading toward the third level.

The three ran all the way; after passing the third level, they quickly arrived where Ye Zhangqing and the others were waiting.

"Let's go, withdraw."

Upon appearing, Yun Xiantai spoke, while the Yongye assassin had already arrived earlier to meet up with Ye Zhangqing and them.

At this moment, hearing Yun Xiantai's words, she said with a solemn expression.

"The Demon Realm has been sealed; many powerful demons are rushing here; without even half a Shíchén, the Black Demon Swamp will likely be surrounded to the point of being water-tight."

"Especially the direction leading to the Demon Realm's exit—there's probably no chance."

"Demons aren't fools; knowing someone is attacking the Black Demon Swamp, their first reaction will surely be to focus on sealing the route from the swamp to the Demon Realm's exit."

"Having taken the treasures, no matter who, it's impossible to stay in the Demon Realm; the first priority will definitely be to find a way to escape the Demon Realm."

"Therefore, the direction of the Demon Realm's exit must be the focus."

"Now wanting to head for the Demon Realm's exit is already too late; after saying that, the Yongye assassin also felt somewhat helpless."

"He silently cursed, 'Can't you guys at least have a plan when you act? At least plot an escape route before you strike.'"

"Now it's fine—such a commotion, and we want to withdraw now, but where to withdraw? The road's been blocked by them."

Hearing that, Yun Xiantai fell silent for a moment, then looked at Dongfang Hong and Dongfang Huang and said.

"What do you think?"

"Huh???"

Hearing that, the two brothers were stunned; "What do we see? Do we even need to look? Now you ask us, what's there to see?"

Neither of them had any ideas, so Yun Xiantai, seeing the situation, spoke directly.

Then let's change direction— which direction currently has the weakest defense?

This..............

Faced with Yun Xiantai's question, this Yongye assassin was a bit dazed, but still answered truthfully.

Naturally, it's the direction opposite the Demon Realm's exit.

That direction goes deep into the Demon Realm, but what are you planning to do?

"Senior, you're not thinking of fleeing this way, are you?"

Isn't that just asking for death? The opposite direction leads deep into the Demon Realm— then you'd be as good as caught in a jar, and thinking of leaving the Demon Realm would be pure fantasy.

That's exactly why the demon tribe hasn't placed any defenses in that direction.

Anyway, to the demon tribe, even if you flee this way, you'll end up as a trapped beast struggling, and will eventually be caught.

So this direction is practically a dead end— even if you manage to break out, you'd still be trapped in the Demon Realm, wouldn't you?

Moreover, it's even harder to escape, equivalent to completely blocking your own retreat.

But Yun Xiantai, hearing this, spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"First go this way; later I'll have a plan of my own."

Huh???

"May I ask, senior, what is your plan afterwards?"
