Refusing to Associate with Beasts

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

Black Scale King hovered in the air, his hands continuously manifesting black spheres condensed from demon energy, hurling them downward like explosives in an attempt to blast Su Yi to death.

Su Yi dodged rapidly across the battlefield, but the other demon beasts were not so lucky; those unable to evade in time were blown to pieces by their own king.

"Awoo--"

A green wolf the size of a calf leaped from a mountain of corpses. Though small in stature, its speed was immense, matching that of a transformed Great Demon, comparable to the Baodan Infa realm of human cultivators.

Su Yi had just finished slaying two wild bulls when this beast caught him off guard, clawing his back. Enraged, he spun around and struck with his sword.

No matter how fast the green wolf was, it could not outpace Su Yi.

Especially since they were right next to each other.

At this moment, Su Yi's face suddenly twisted, the pain so intense he couldn't help but tilt his head back and roar.

"Ahhh--"

His scream pierced the clouds, audible across most of Xiwan City, tightening the hearts of all who heard it.

The people at the edge of the city grew terrified. Aside from the soldiers, hundreds of citizens had gathered; watching the chaotic and dangerous battlefield, they were filled with both fear and anger.

Hearing Su Yi's agonizing screams, a chill ran down all of their spines.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, Su Yi's right trouser pocket ignited, and flames rapidly engulfed his entire body, turning him into a human torch.

This sight frightened the attacking demon beasts into retreating in unison, and even Black Scale King frowned.

"What is happening?"

Black Scale King muttered to himself, his expression wary, guarding against the possibility that Su Yi was playing a trick.

Wrapped in flames, Su Yi ran frantically, rampaging across the battlefield like a fireball. Any demon beast he collided with was reduced to ash within two or three breaths, a sight that made even Black Scale King gasp.

What kind of fire is this?

How could its burning power be so terrifying?

Even Old Lord Qiyang, watching from the Demon Cloud in the distance, was stunned.

He could sense that Su Yi's aura was not weakening; on the contrary, it was growing stronger.

"Could it be that he possesses a rare treasure? Or perhaps his bloodline is extraordinary?"

Old Lord Qiyang narrowed his eyes, his thoughts racing as he pondered the possibilities.

To be favored by Emperor Su, this half-demon must certainly have exceptional qualities!

It seems I must save this lad!

Meanwhile, Su Yi had stopped roaring, but the flames on his body did not dissipate; instead, they grew even more violent.

"What is going on?"

Amidst the flames, Su Yi felt the pain subside and was shocked.

Not only that, but the chat interface of the Emperor Su Sect appeared in his mind.

Black Tiger Emperor: Why hasn't the Devil Master appeared lately?

Wu Qingyao: Hmph, you tiger demon, are you trying to cling to even the Devil?

Black Tiger Emperor: None of your business.

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: The Demon Cult has been restless in the north recently. As one of the Four Lords, he likely has no time to chat.

Qingyan Devil Master: What? Little tiger, do you miss me? I am currently busy slaughtering a city!

Su Yi only took a brief glance at the chat page before quickly withdrawing his focus, as he was still in the midst of a life-or-death battle.

Could it be that the Great Dao Phone has merged with me?

Su Yi thought to himself. He could no longer sense the presence of the Great Dao Phone; the moment it ignited, it had rapidly melted into his body, giving him quite a scare.

Merging is fine, too!

It saves him from constantly worrying about losing the phone.

Just as he was lost in thought, the flames on his body rapidly dissipated, leaving him standing in the ruins with his upper body bare.

Miraculously, his jeans had not been burned away, leading him to speculate: "Is this the final shred of dignity left to me by the Great Dao Phone?"

Under the sunlight, Su Yi's upper body seemed plated with a golden glow, his muscle definition perfect and filled with the beauty of raw power, and even the Zhouwu Sword no longer appeared so plain and simple.

Su Yi clenched his left fist, a gleam of excitement erupting in his eyes.

His injuries had actually healed!

Even his stamina had returned to its peak state; as he clenched his fist, it felt as if a pack of dragons were roaring within his body.

He looked up abruptly, staring at Black Scale King with a ferocious grin on his face.

"Very good!"

The killing intent in Su Yi's eyes became more daunting than ever before, causing Black Scale King to narrow his eyes.

He could feel that Su Yi seemed to have regained his stamina; the flames from just a moment ago were truly extraordinary.

The surrounding demon beasts saw that Su Yi was no longer emitting fire and roared as they charged at him once again.

The number of demon beasts slaughtered by Su Yi had already exceeded five thousand, but compared to the entire demon beast army, it was like a drop in the ocean.

Tempered by the Great Dao Fire, Su Yi's speed had become even faster, and his sword qi had completely taken form.

Sword qi crisscrossed, sweeping through the demon horde.

His sword qi was like a white crescent moon, nearly ten meters long and possessing immense destructive power.

Moving with ease and agility, he darted through the fray, sending the demon beasts along his path flying into the air. The spectacle was indescribable, causing the people at the edge of the city to cheer once more.

"I told you Su Yi was strong!"

"What is that... is it sword qi?"

"Hahaha, it looks like Su Yi is going to win!"

"What exactly happened just now?"

"Should we join in?"

More and more citizens arrived at the north side of the city, and only when they saw the battlefield with their own eyes did they feel the true terror of it.

Compared to the live broadcast, everything before their eyes was far more shocking. The thick, pungent smell of blood drifted over, making them nauseous and causing their fervor to recede, leaving them too afraid to join the battle.

Su Yi had originally been an ordinary person, but through this battle, he was constantly honing himself, making his combat techniques increasingly proficient.

If I had more demon power, this would be even easier.

Su Yi thought to himself. Although he had been practicing the Demon Emperor Divine Technique for over ten days, his demon power was not abundant, and it was far from enough to support his constant expenditure of sword qi.

After slaying another thousand demon beasts, he stopped using sword qi and leaped into the air, charging toward the Black Scale King.

The Black Scale King had been observing Su Yi, and he too was shocked by Su Yi's talent.

If this half-demon could be used by him, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Seeing Su Yi charging at him, he leaped up, flying to a height of three hundred meters, leaving Su Yi helpless.

"I will give you a chance now. Join my ranks, and I will make you a demon king of your own territory!"

The Black Scale King extended an olive branch, deliberately raising his voice so that the entire city could hear him.

He wanted to sow discord between Su Yi and Xiwan City.

Upon hearing this, the hearts of everyone in Xiwan City rose to their throats. If Su Yi were to join the Black Scale King's side, it would be absolutely devastating news for Xiwan City.

Su Yi stared at the Black Scale King, narrowed his eyes, and said word by word: "I, Su Yi, do not associate with beasts!"

He also channeled his strength into his voice, which resounded over Xiwan City and sent the entire city into an uproar.

Even though there was a clear hope for survival, Su Yi had cast it aside, choosing to fight for them instead.

At this moment, Su Yi's image in the hearts of everyone in the city was elevated once again.

"He is the fortune of us Earthlings!"

Tan Quanming sighed, and those around him all nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Su Yi suddenly felt a strange power pouring from the Zhouwu Sword into his palm.

It was just like the first time he had slain the snake demon.

Kill him! Kill him!

A mysterious voice echoed in Su Yi's heart, urging him to launch another attack on the Black Scale King.

Su Yi's temperament inexplicably swelled, as if the Black Scale King had become nothing more than a chicken or a dog in his eyes, something he could kill with a mere flick of his hand!
