Chapter 768: Swatted to Death Like a Mosquito (First Update, Requesting Everything)

~11 min read 2,068 words

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, many demons immediately scattered and fled, completely disregarding the survival of their teammates.

This is what demons are like; a demon who doesn't stab their teammate in the back is already considered to have noble character.

Of course, if the demons could integrate into a single unit like an army, possessing discipline and obedience, the Abyss would have likely conquered this world long ago.

Just like dominoes, following the rout of these demons, more and more demons joined the ranks of the fleeing.

The scales of victory tilted rapidly; the remaining demons were not unwilling to run, but were entangled by the Demon Pets of the Kailing Empire team and simply could not break free.

In a short amount of time, four of the ten Great Demons had already disengaged from the battlefield; the remaining six Great Demons all cursed loudly, as they also wanted to join the ranks of the fleeing but were tightly entangled by Demon Beasts and could find no opportunity.

Besides the four Great Demons, many High-tier demons also took the opportunity to rush out of the encirclement.

In the span of just a few breaths, under the siege of more than ten Demon Beasts, two Great Demons fell, and the remaining four Great Demons were also covered in wounds.

Their individual strength was not much different from the Demon Beasts, but they had absolutely no coordination to speak of.

Looking at the five Pseudo-Kings of the Kailing Empire, they had specifically trained together for a period of time and already had fairly tacit coordination.

"The two of you go immediately to pursue the other four Great Demons; leave this place to us!"

Seeing that the situation was settled, Xiang Yutian, acting as the team leader, issued an order to the two Senior Pseudo-Kings.

"Yes!"

The two Senior Pseudo-Kings had no objections and hurriedly rode their Flying Demon Pets to begin hunting down the four fleeing Great Demons, expanding their battle results as much as possible.

Without hesitation, the two Senior Pseudo-Kings chose to pursue the two slowest Great Demons.

Several miles away, Li Zhangsheng was observing the situation with Ning Bizhen and Zhao Rui, while Wu Zetao was on the other side; the two groups were not very far apart.

When a large number of demons were in a rout, Li Zhangsheng naturally could not miss the opportunity, and immediately summoned his Demon Pets together with Ning Bizhen and Zhao Rui, preparing to round up the mid-to-high-tier demons fleeing toward this side.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng prepared to leave behind the four Great Demons if possible.

On the other side, Wu Zetao took the same action.

"Bizhen, leave that succubus to you!"

Among these four fleeing Great Demons, the succubus appeared to be further away, but its speed was not very fast; with the explosive power of the Three-Legged Fire Crow, it would definitely be able to catch up.

Ning Bizhen did not refuse and immediately steered the Three-Legged Fire Crow to rush out of the ambush circle, seeing a Lihuo Changhong emerge, closing the distance between her and the Demon Beast succubus at an exaggerated speed.

Li Zhangsheng mounted Aixi, and before setting off, he casually released the Lesser Ancestral Black Dragon, the Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird, and Xier Yasina, letting them act freely.

In an instant, Aixi transformed into a golden rainbow, speeding toward another assassin demon that was further away.

Unlike the physique of general demons, the assassin demon's physique was quite petite; even after becoming a Great Demon, there was still no major change in its size, being only five feet tall.

In the Abyss, Balor demons are the noble class with power and influence, six-armed snake demons are usually the best candidates for commanders, while assassin demons possess quite outstanding concealment methods and have always acted as spies and assassins; once an assassin demon hides in the shadows, it is likely even more dangerous than a Balor demon.

Even in the Abyss, which is filled with slaughter, the assassin demon is the most dangerous species.

Unfortunately, this Demon Beast assassin demon was in a rout and had no time to hide, which caused its threat to plummet, posing almost no threat to Li Zhangsheng.

While closing the distance to the assassin demon, Li Zhangsheng casually summoned Baitian and Heiye, letting them hunt down the nearest Demon Beast six-armed snake demon.

With the strength and tacit understanding of Baitian and Heiye, killing the six-armed snake demon posed no threat at all.

On the other side, Wu Zetao was pursuing an Abyss Demon Dragon.

It could be said that Li Zhangsheng and Wu Zetao were prepared to round up all four fleeing Great Demons.

Besides this, the other Sixth Rank contestants were also intercepting mid-to-high-tier demons as much as possible; after all, these were all precious points.

The two Senior Pseudo-Kings of the Kailing Empire were pursuing the assassin demon and the Abyss Demon Dragon respectively, and then they discovered Li Zhangsheng, Wu Zetao, and the others who were preparing to intercept their spoils.

By the time the two Senior Pseudo-Kings reacted, Aixi had galloped more than ten miles in one breath, leaving only a few hundred meters between her and the assassin demon.

On the other side, Wu Zetao was not as fast, but he had also seized the initiative; with Wu Zetao's strength, dealing with both the Abyss Demon Dragon and a Senior Pseudo-King would presumably be a simple matter.

In the rules of this competition, contestants cannot give the scrolls and Demon Hearts they have harvested to others, nor can they snatch the Demon Hearts and scrolls of other contestants, and even less can they wantonly kill other contestants.

However, there was no rule against snatching kills or killing the Demon Pets of other contestants.

Besides this, due to the Heavenly Dao, only the contestant who kills the demon last can leave their own unique Soul Imprint on the Demon Heart; even if other contestants snatch it, it is of no use.

Li Zhangsheng and Wu Zetao's thoughts were very simple: besides snatching kills, if there was an opportunity, they would also take the chance to severely injure the Kailing Empire contestants and weaken their strength.

As for the consequences of doing so, the two did not have too many misgivings; even if they were regarded as a thorn in the side by the Kailing Empire team, they would not hesitate.

This was Wu Zetao's last chance, and he did not want to miss this final opportunity; even if it meant offending the Kailing Empire team, he would not hesitate.

As for Li Zhangsheng, besides the points, he was also taking the opportunity to collect Great Demon Hearts; after exchanging the Demon Hearts for points, the chief examiner would return the captured Demon Hearts to the contestants.

Great Demon Hearts can be used to make Top-tier Dissolving Agent, so Li Zhangsheng naturally had no reason to let them go, not to mention that their Spirit Essence could also be made into Bloodline Potion; he naturally would not miss this opportunity.

Additionally, if a conflict arose with the Kailing Empire team, there might be some gains, such as certain Demon Pets that met his requirements; he would not mind killing them along the way.

Most importantly, with his and Ning Bizhen's strength, the Kailing Empire team could not stop them at all, so naturally, there were no misgivings.

As for whether this would offend the Kailing Empire, not to mention whether the rulers of the Kailing Empire were narrow-minded to that extent, the key was that Li Zhangsheng had not violated the rules, and this was a dispute between the younger generation; the Kailing Empire could not openly deal with him, as doing so would likely cause a backlash from other countries.

The seats in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm were already scarce, and the Kailing Empire occupied half the number of spots on average each session; to say that other countries in the Southern Region had no resentment would definitely be a lie, and many small countries had not even obtained one since their founding.

If the Kailing Empire openly dealt with Li Zhangsheng and Wu Zetao, other countries might take the opportunity to make trouble and fight for some benefits for themselves.

Even if the Kailing Empire was powerful, it could not make such a low-level mistake.

Additionally, after winning a seat in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, the safety of the contestants was well-guaranteed; even Xiang Donglai, the Emperor who founded the Kailing Empire, would not dare to offend the Heavenly Dao.

Under various conditions, Li Zhangsheng had almost no taboos to speak of, and naturally had to fight for the greatest benefits for himself.

Despite that Senior Pseudo-King chasing desperately, his speed was still far inferior to Li Zhangsheng's.

A few hundred meters away, the assassin demon naturally noticed Li Zhangsheng, and it subconsciously wanted to escape into the mountain forest, wanting to use the shadows in the forest to avoid this disaster.

Except for that rose-red skin, the assassin demon's appearance was similar to a human's; this type of demon likes to use its inconspicuous appearance and its talent for hiding and sneaking to launch sneak attacks on enemies, and tries to finish the battle as quickly as possible.

If the assassin demon cannot quickly finish off its opponent, it will choose to retreat temporarily and wait for the next opportunity to arrive before launching an attack again.

Unfortunately, Aixi's speed was truly too fast, and she was still in the state of the White Tiger Transformation Rainbow Technique.

Before the assassin demon could escape into the mountain forest, Aixi stretched out her forelimbs, and just like a human using both hands to swat a mosquito, she swatted toward the middle with lightning speed.

Looking at the size ratio between Aixi and the assassin demon, the assassin demon was not much different from a mosquito in Aixi's eyes.

Feeling the terrifying wind pressure surging from both sides, the assassin demon was shocked and subconsciously wanted to dodge.

It was a pity that the Assassination Demon realized it, but its body could not keep up.

Snap—crack!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, Aixi's forelimbs accurately struck the Assassination Demon; under the pressure of the powerful force, the Assassination Demon could not help but let out a miserable shriek, its bones emitting sounds like popping beans, as if its entire skeleton had been pulverized.

With just a single strike, the Demon King-level Assassination Demon fell directly into a near-death state; apart from its eyeballs being able to move, the rest of its body was almost unable to budge.

This was not just because Aixi was strong enough; as both were demons, the Assassination Demon's physical constitution was far inferior to a Balor, and it could not even compare to a Succubus, making it a physically weak existence among demons.

To put it in gaming terms, it had high attack, low defense, and thin health; it was lucky it hadn't died on the spot.

Naturally, Aixi had no intention of letting the Assassination Demon go; a sharp golden glow erupted between its two palms, and the Assassination Demon's weak, miserable shrieks came to an abrupt end, dead as dead could be.

From chasing the Assassination Demon to killing it, the entire process took less than half a minute.

While Li Zhangsheng was dealing with the Assassination Demon, Baitian and Heiye also finished off the Demon King-level Six-Armed Snake Demon; their strength was already extremely formidable, and their coordination was exceptionally tacit, so the Six-Armed Snake Demon did not last long before its head was chopped off by the Light Flame Giant Sword condensed by Baitian.

More than ten miles away, the Demon King-level Succubus that Ning Bizhen was dealing with was already in precarious danger, and it likely would not last much longer.

It was different on Wu Zetao's side; the Abyss Demon Dragon was famous for its thick skin and tough flesh, which prevented Wu Zetao from finishing it off before the Senior Pseudo-King arrived.

Consequently, these two Pseudo-Kings began to contend for it first, confronting each other while trying to find an opportunity to finish off the Abyss Demon Dragon.

It's Monday, taking this opportunity to ask for recommendation votes, thank you to all the readers!
