"Young Master, this scoundrel is up to something. Why don't we first..."
"First what? Are you suggesting that I avoid that human?"
Young Master Zhihua's icy voice rang out, making Frog Elder tremble from head to toe.
He broke into a river of sweat and hurriedly explained, "It's just that this matter is too strange. How could a mere Three Luminaries human casually kill four Demon Generals in an instant? With power like that, if this was all premeditated, Young Master could be walking into danger!"
"Enough of your noise!"
Young Master Zhihua waved his hand, and a biting cold wind rose around them.
His face twisted with anger. "He killed four of my Great Generals. This human must die!"
"But, Young Master..."
"You said it yourself: he's just a Three Luminaries Martial Artist. A trap this blatant must be meant to lure us Demons into a slaughter. He killed Demons and didn't run—instead, he dared to stay. Such a greedy wretch deserves to die. Or should we let him keep killing our people?"
Frog Elder's mouth fell slack. He stared blankly for a moment before saying, "But that human clearly set up an array. A martial artist's array can be terrifying. If it's powerful enough, even someone as exalted as a Demon Emperor could be put in danger!"
"Hmph. It's just an array. Now that it's been exposed, he won't fool me with it again. Come with me. We'll kill him!"
Without another word, Young Master Zhihua swept a hand forward. The Demons and monsters around him instantly bristled with killing intent and surged ahead.
Soon, the horde reached the Reed Marsh.
Ye Kang, hidden in the shadows, had already sensed their approach. He knew the toad had taken the bait, but he didn't dare make any unnecessary moves.
