King Aisha?

What kind of lousy name was that!

Su Yi curled his lip, not taking King Aisha seriously at all.

He said, "King Aisha, are you strong?"

His voice was soft, yet it drowned out the roars of tens of thousands of demons on the cliff.

King Aisha raised a hand, and all the demons fell silent.

He looked down at Su Yi and said, "Are you provoking me? Do you want to die a more painful death?"

With terrain like this, Su Yi and his demon underlings were like turtles trapped in a jar. They were doomed!

Besides, King Aisha was a Supernatural Demon King who ruled over an area within a hundred li. Su Yi was only at the Humanoid Demon level and was no match for him.

Su Yi's lips curled upward. He bent his knees sharply, then sprang into the air with a boom, shattering the ground and sending clouds of dust billowing!

With a hundred and ninety Dragon Strength at his command, Su Yi was now incredibly powerful. He cleared a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

King Aisha's pupils contracted. He instinctively swung a punch at Su Yi.

Su Yi punched back, their fists crashing together!

Bang!

Crack—

King Aisha's right arm shattered in an instant. The towering, three-zhang-tall demon spat blood as he flew backward, knocking down dozens of demons before finally stopping several hundred meters away, in front of a boulder.

Su Yi produced the Zhouwu Sword and, before landing, swung it in a slash. Sword Qi swept across the area, cutting down seventy or eighty demons.

The demons on the cliff hadn't even had time to react before the battle erupted.

Su Yi strode with the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, running wild and free as swiftly as a ghost. His Immortal Slashing Heart Sword was an especially fast sword art. In fewer than two breaths, he had swept across five hundred meters and slain hundreds of demons.

The demons' roars rose and fell across the cliff.

"What are you standing around for? Attack!"

The Purple-Backed Bear King roared, then charged up the cliff face.

The other Humanoid Demons followed right behind him. Nan Xiaopao slapped both hands against the ground. In an instant, an enormous vine burst from the earth and lifted her up.

That was the power of the Qiling Holy Lotus!

Though Nan Xiaopao's cultivation was weak, she had a Qiling Holy Body and could command the Qiling Holy Lotus. During this time, Su Yi had often taught her how to fight, greatly boosting her combat strength.

The other demons also began climbing up the cliff.

Su Yi slaughtered demons in a frenzy, while the demons on the opposite cliff hurled stones, trying to smash every climbing demon to death.

The battle erupted, and the two Demon Armies clashed!

Though Su Yi was powerful, he couldn't instantly kill tens of thousands of demons. Besides, they were spread out across both cliffs.

"Damn it..."

King Aisha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his left hand and slowly got to his feet. Even after losing an arm, he didn't panic.

His murderous eyes fixed on Su Yi as he let out a low growl, then charged at him.

Though his massive body looked cumbersome, he ran with incredible speed, unstoppable. He even knocked his own subordinates flying as he barreled along.

Su Yi caught sight of him out of the corner of his eye and immediately turned to attack King Aisha.

This time, a black greatsword appeared out of thin air in King Aisha's left hand. A closer look revealed a storage ring on his left index finger.

Gritting his teeth, he raised the blade toward the oncoming Su Yi.

When the two were less than ten meters apart, King Aisha's figure blurred and vanished.

Su Yi furrowed his swordlike brows. A sharp gust stung the back of his neck, and he instinctively ducked. The blade sliced off a few strands of his hair. King Aisha had appeared behind him as though he'd teleported.

"A supernatural ability?"

Su Yi was secretly shocked. This ability really was impossible to guard against.

If he hadn't cultivated the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, he'd have been done for today.

King Aisha was just as shaken. Su Yi had actually dodged his supernatural ability. Alarmed, he used it again and appeared above Su Yi.

At that moment, Su Yi pivoted on his right foot, spun around, and thrust his sword upward.

The blade just grazed Su Yi's face, passing within two centimeters of his nose, while the Zhouwu Sword pierced King Aisha's throat. Blood gushed from the blade jutting out of the back of his neck.

Su Yi turned his right hand, catching the blade against the bones in King Aisha's throat, and hoisted the massive demon into the air.

"You..."

King Aisha looked at Su Yi with a face full of resentment and unwillingness as the life drained rapidly from him.

Supernatural Demon Kings could wield supernatural abilities, but they didn't have a second life, nor did they possess a Nascent Soul that could escape their body.

"Everyone, stop!"

Su Yi shouted in fury. Every demon trembled and turned to look at him in unison.

They saw Su Yi holding King Aisha aloft on his sword atop the cliff, their mouths gaping wide.

King Aisha's three-zhang-tall body was as high as a two- or three-story building, while Su Yi beneath him looked so small. The stark contrast in their size made the scene all the more shocking.

From the start of the battle, it had taken less than half a minute for Su Yi to subdue King Aisha!

Powerful!

The Humanoid Demons, including the Purple-Backed Bear King, could barely contain their excitement. Nan Xiaopao even bounced on the vine, clapping and cheering.

"All of you, get lost! Or die!"

Su Yi roared again. The Black Flood Dragon King Robe on his body let out a cry like a dragon's roar, frightening King Aisha's tens of thousands of subordinates into fleeing in every direction.

Dominance!

The King's dominance was beginning to show!

Even the Purple-Backed Bear King, Grey Rock Dog King, and the other demons felt awe.

King Aisha had seemed invincible to them, yet he hadn't stood a chance against Su Yi. It was impossible to imagine just how strong Su Yi really was.

Su Yi casually shook his hand, tossing King Aisha onto the ground beside him. Then he hurried over, raised his right foot, and planted it on the back of King Aisha's head, crushing his face into the earth. Cracks spread outward from his head in every direction.

He had a Supernatural Demon King underfoot!

What an imposing sight!

The demons who had just climbed up the cliff stared in stunned silence.

Su Yi looked down at King Aisha and asked, "Is there a blessed land nearby?"

A blessed land was a place rich in spiritual energy, where countless rare treasures of heaven and earth could be found.

Demons cultivated by absorbing spiritual energy too. What was called the essence of the sun and moon was simply an enhanced form of spiritual energy. Under sunlight and moonlight, it took on yang and yin attributes, strengthening the bones and muscles.

King Aisha burned with fury. Humiliation drove him mad, but his instinct to survive forced him to endure it.

Su Yi increased the pressure of his foot. King Aisha cried out in pain, "If I tell you, will you let me go?"

Though his throat had been pierced, he could still speak from his abdomen.

"Mm."

Su Yi answered expressionlessly. King Aisha was overjoyed and hurriedly pointed southeast. "Go seventeen hundred li in that direction. There's a blessed land, a mountain rich in rare fruits and treasures..."

Shhk!

As soon as King Aisha finished speaking, Su Yi swung his sword and beheaded him. Blood splattered across the ground.

"No."

Su Yi replied coldly. It wasn't that he had gone back on his word; King Aisha had been too hasty!

After all, Su Yi hadn't even nodded.

The Humanoid Demons—the Purple-Backed Bear King, Kui Man the Elephant, Grey Rock Dog King, and the others—felt a chill in their hearts. Su Yi usually seemed mild, but he was this ruthless. If they ever betrayed him, wouldn't they meet a gruesome end?
