Chapter 831: I, Xu San, am the Heaven's Chosen Child

Holy shit!

Just as they were about to walk toward the valley, they suddenly saw the previously calm valley blaze up again, fire shooting to the sky, and faintly heard waves of roaring.

Who? Who is ambushing Your Majesty here? Damn..........

The sudden change left Xu Jie and his group staring at each other in shock.

Third Senior Brother, what just happened was..........

I don't know either.

Xu Jie also didn't see what it was clearly; he only felt a swoosh, and then a black shadow flashed past.

While the fellow disciples were puzzled, the talisman seals and formation disks in the valley grew increasingly intense.

Obviously, that thing was running wildly inside the valley.

Who, exactly who is it? Your Majesty will kill you..........

The roaring grew louder; some disciples hearing the words 'Your Majesty' expressed confusion one by one.

You say, among the Demon Race, what existence can call itself Your Majesty?

This........... could it be a Demon Emperor?

So should we run or not?

Those of the Demon Race who can call themselves Your Majesty are obviously beings who have reached the Demon Emperor Realm, and a Demon Emperor is absolutely not something Xu Jie and his group can contend with.

Even if the valley is filled with talisman seals and formation disks, usable for slaying a Demon King, but against a Demon Emperor, it's absolutely insufficient.

Hearing this, the disciples exchanged glances, and Xu Jie also spoke without hesitation.

Retreat.

They didn't even have time to bother with the Black Hound Demon King's corpse—joking, if it really is a Demon Emperor, the trouble would be huge.

The other fellow disciples also didn't hesitate, immediately turning and leaving.

However, just as everyone was preparing to withdraw, a ball of fire shot out from the valley, and faintly one could see specks of outline within the fireball.

As expected, you vile humans, Your Majesty will toy with you to death.

He roared angrily; seeing this, everyone was greatly startled, and Xu Jie also felt his heart sink, but without hesitation he immediately stepped forward in front of the crowd.

You go, I'll hold him off.

Third Senior Brother, you..........

Go.

Facing a Demon Emperor, Xu Jie knew the group had absolutely no chance of victory; fleeing was the only option.

And as the Third Senior Brother of Divine Sword Peak, at such a time he must stay behind to buy time for his junior brothers to escape.

Not giving them a chance to speak, Xu Jie shouted directly.

Under Xu Jie's rebuke, the junior brothers, though reluctant, could only leave quickly.

Xu Jie, meanwhile, gripped his longsword, his face solemn as he stood before Gui Xiao Demon Emperor.

He hadn't thought of winning; even though the Gui Xiao before him seemed off, the opponent was after all a Demon Emperor, and no matter what, Xu Jie's Heavenly Human Realm cultivation couldn't handle it.

At this moment, Xu Jie only thought about how long he could delay, at least long enough for his junior brothers to escape to safety.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on the longsword, while the tiger demon beside him was already sweating cold from fright.

Vile humans, die for Your Majesty.

Facing Xu Jie blocking his path, Gui Xiao Demon Emperor roared and charged straight at him.

Here it comes..........

Seeing this, Xu Jie tensed up, ready to strike with his sword, but the next second he saw Gui Xiao Demon Emperor not even having taken two steps before collapsing straight before him.

His longsword was already raised, but damn, this Demon Emperor had arrived.

Huh???

Bewildered, he stared at the Gui Xiao Demon Emperor before him; after the flames died down, Xu Jie unconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air.

Hiss.

Mainly because this wretch was in such a miserable state—the earlier flames hadn't hurt it much, but this creature was covered head to toe in wounds, with hardly a spot intact.

It definitely wasn't the talisman seals and formation disks that did this, so this creature must have already been gravely wounded earlier, clinging to life by a thread?

Then, by sheer accident, it stumbled into the valley and was inexplicably blown up by its own talisman seals and formation disks?

Soon realizing this, Xu Jie turned from sorrow to joy—damn, this is actually a Demon Emperor!

Haha, I've struck it rich, I've struck it rich now.

Unable to help himself, he burst into loud laughter: 'I, Xu San, am truly the Heaven's Chosen Child.'

Sitting in the valley, a Demon Emperor drops from the sky—this luck is unmatched.

Just as Xu Jie was unable to contain his joy, Hong Zun and his party, who had been pursuing all the way, finally arrived and, upon appearing, hurriedly asked.

Old Three Xu, did you see a Demon Emperor run past?

Huh???

Faced with the sudden appearance of Hong Zun and company, Xu Jie blinked in surprise, but the next second he understood everything.

He guessed this Demon Emperor must have been gravely wounded by Master and the others; indeed, who else besides them could have such power?

However, this Demon Emperor now belongs to me, Xu San.

Thinking this, Xu Jie smiled and said.

I didn't see the fleeing Demon Emperor, but there is a dead Demon Emperor.

A dead Demon Emperor?

He frowned slightly, wondering what he was saying, but when Hong Zun and the others saw Gui Xiao Demon Emperor lying lifeless before Xu Jie, they all went numb.

"This this this...... Wei Xiao Yao Huang?"

"How did this guy die?"

"Shīzūn, do we even need to ask? Naturally, he died under the disciple's sword."

"You killed him?"

Hong Zun, Qin Shan Hai, Lin Potian, and the crowd's gazes all fell on Xu Jie.

Even if you beat them to death, they wouldn't believe that Xu Jie had the ability to slay a demon emperor, let alone him—even Mo Yun and Mu You, these Shèngjìng peak masters, lack that ability.

But right now, the Wei Xiao demon emperor really is dead, his corpse right before their eyes, under Xu Jie's feet.

Not bad, Xu Jie at this moment stepped on the Wei Xiao demon emperor's corpse with one foot, saying with a smile.

"I know Shīzūn is shocked, but the fact is just that: the disciple took advantage of the Wei Xiao demon emperor's serious injury, fought it fiercely, and finally slew it under the sword; thus, this demon emperor really was killed by the disciple."

Huh???

Hearing Xu Jie's words, Hong Zun and the others were actually somewhat speechless, yet at the same time they also guessed what had happened.

Wasn't the Wei Xiao demon emperor seriously injured by Hong Zun and the others earlier? Then, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, it escaped again.

It probably fled all the way here, coincidentally ran into Xu Jie, and the seriously injured Wei Xiao demon emperor just ended up being a cheap kill for Xu Jie.

Damn it, just thinking about this, Hong Zun and the others unconsciously exchanged a glance, feeling indescribably awful inside.

They fought tooth and nail, struggled back and forth, but in the end they just did the work for someone else—what the hell is this?

Especially Hong Zun, looking at his own third disciple, felt a myriad of emotions.

This little brat's luck can't be too good, right? For no reason he got hold of a demon emperor.

"Shīzūn, how about it, disciple didn't embarrass you, right?"

Especially now, Xu Jie still had a smug look on his face, making Hong Zun feel an irresistible itch in his hand, wanting to strike someone.

Most importantly, damn it, the Wei Xiao demon emperor died—isn't that a huge loss?

You know, the reward the canteen offers is a chance to get a dish only if you capture a demon emperor alive; a dead demon emperor yields no dish, only other rewards.

Just thinking about this, Hong Zun felt as if old blood were clogging his chest, making his breathing a little rough.
