Chapter 492: Naturally, Annihilate Them All, Leave None Behind

Kill the demons, seize the treasures.

Destroy the lairs, plunder the demon caves.

Tang An watched with appreciation as the Outer Realm Demon Race were slaughtered in two layers by the Jinbao Sword and the Merit Golden Sword, falling like dumplings into a pot.

And those Outer Realm Demon Race had not a shred of ability to resist before her.

"So this is what it feels like to invade others with force."

"Before I knew it, I have actually become one of the great powers?"

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha flew out from the three exits of the demon nest respectively, and in their hands, they each held the Human Seed Bag, the Diamond Bracelet, and the Wealth Gathering Ring.

"Very good, the earnings are not small." Tang An scanned the treasures in her hands with her divine sense and knew the results of this robbery.

However, the invasion was not over; there was another demon nest waiting for them.

"Master, how should we deal with the remaining demons?" Yang Jian also did not want to let go of this good opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

With a wave of her hand, Tang An selected a hundred demons of varying cultivation levels from the remaining Outer Realm Demon Race and took them into the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus.

"As for the rest, naturally, annihilate them all, leave none behind."

"Understood."

Yang Jian turned to take action, only to find the Merit Golden Sword sweeping past him, and behind him was...

A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the ground covered in remains...

"Master..." Yang Jian looked at Tang An, opened his mouth, but said nothing more.

Tang An curled her lips in a smile, signaling him not to worry, that she was fine.

"Handing over your weapons and begging the enemy for mercy. That is not being smart, nor is it seeking survival; it is simply being a fool."

"You three remember this, and I myself must also remember this sentence with absolute clarity."

"No matter the situation, when facing various threats, only by not laying down one's weapon can one resist for a moment longer. If one is afraid of breaking the vase while catching the rat, this is the most straightforward outcome."

The three of them looked at each other and nodded one after another. "Understood."

Moyou looked at the four of them, master and disciples.

"Madmen, they are all madmen."

The Guardians of the past were either for the safety of the Three Realms, or were weak in character, or lacked the strength, all guarding the Inner Realm while staying in their own corners.

Only she, disregarding life and death, disregarding all consequences, actually took the initiative to appear in the Outer Domain and turned the demon race upside down!

Tang An lowered her eyes to look at Moyou, who was like a stray dog, "If you hadn't spoken, I would have almost forgotten you."

"Take us there; after robbing your demon nest of its treasures, I need to go back and have a meal with my father."

"Rest assured, I said I would keep you as a little demon pet. As long as you cooperate well, I will certainly spare your life."

Moyou, however, would no longer believe Tang An at all, "Now that my life is in your hands, naturally whatever you say goes."

Tang An tugged on the chain, pulling him in front of her, and pinched his neck, the flames of madness dancing in her eyes. "You still know that your life is gripped in my hands?"

She waved her hand and summoned the Great Killing Weapon; it had already finished charging previously, so she did not need any charging time.

"You say you aren't afraid of death, good, then I will show some kindness and let you see exactly what kind of end it is to die at my hands."

To avoid being caught in the blast, Tang An used the Hunyuan Golden Dipper, plus layers of increasing Space Law seals, to buffer the residual power brought by the shockwave.

"Kill!"

The East Wind Express flew out in response, and without a doubt, was thrown onto the demon nest that was close at hand.

"Hum—"

"Boom—"

The moment the Great Killing Weapon exploded, Tang An instantly teleported them thousands of miles away.

Even so, the intense shockwave still rushed toward them, clearing away all the rubble in the surrounding space until not a single fragment remained.

The massive, planet-like systems in the surroundings were also caught in the explosion. Due to the successive explosions, it caused even greater and stronger destructive power.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; under Tang An's layers of defense, they could still feel that terrifying destructive power.

A mere residual shockwave tore through the Space Law Restrictions Tang An had set up layer by layer. It was only after hitting the main body of the Hunyuan Golden Dipper that it barely managed to withstand this wave of aftershocks.

Tang An felt a sweet, fishy taste in her throat, her mouth filled with the metallic tang of blood. But she remained calm and composed. Thus, no one knew that she had also been caught in the blast and suffered some internal injuries.

Nezha's gaze had always been on Tang An, and her slight change in expression was keenly captured by him.

It was just that Tang An remained calm and did not mention it, so he did not speak to expose it. But in his eyes, there was a soft and helpless heartache.

Looking again at Moyou, who was cowering at Tang An's feet, this scale of destructive power was enough to scare his demon guts out.

Tang An tugged on the chain in her hand, "How about it, Ancestral Demon, do you still dare to say you aren't afraid of death?"

Moyou met Tang An's gaze, his body trembling with fear, and he knelt on the ground, not daring to lift his head again.

"I... Moyou am willing to follow Master to the death."

Tang An nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, I still have use for you, I won't kill you. And you, you had better do as you say."

What if he doesn't? It doesn't matter if he doesn't; anyway, from now on, his life and death will no longer be his own to decide.

Thinking of this, Tang An froze for a moment and looked at her own hands.

Then she chuckled softly, as if mocking herself.

She didn't know when it started, but she had become so ruthless, playing with the lives of others to this extent.

"Eat some candy." Nezha took a strawberry-flavored lollipop and handed it to Tang An.

Tang An looked up and met Nezha's face, which carried a faint smile.

His smile deepened, a gentleness devoid of hostility. "You said it yourself, once you eat candy, your heart won't be bitter anymore."

Tang An unwrapped the candy and put it in her mouth, but she felt the candy itself was bitter.

"I really am a mature adult; I have already passed the age suitable for eating candy."

Nezha shook his head earnestly and handed her another handful of lollipops. "You always will be."

"Always eighteen years old?" Tang An teased deliberately.

"Mm," Nezha replied, very seriously, "As long as you are happy, any age is fine."

Tang An's fingers trembled slightly, and she gripped the lollipop in her hand tightly.

She closed her eyes to calm her mood, and when she opened them again, she punched Nezha in the chest.

"Good lad, you really know how to flirt now, huh."

Nezha hissed, drawing in a cold breath, because Tang An's little fists nowadays could truly punch through a person's chest.

Beside them, Yang Jian and Sun Wukong saw this and were clearly struggling to suppress their smiles, holding back laughter as they followed Tang An away.

They quickly ransacked the second Demon Nest, took away another batch of the Outer Realm Demon Race, and blew up the Demon Nest.

In other words, from now on, Moyou only had this one life. Even in the Inner Realm, if killed by others, there would be no possibility of resurrection.

"Master."

On the way back, Moyou was trembling with fear. "I do not know why Master is taking so many of the Outer Realm Demon Race back?"

Tang An raised her eyes to look at him and sneered, "This Venerable will only say this once: do not ask what you should not ask."

"Yes." Moyou was filled with fear and trepidation; he immediately stepped back and kept his mouth shut.
