"Hmph! This is Three Ghost Mountain. With me, the Three-Headed Ghost King, here, no one is allowed to set foot on this mountain!"

A roar resounded across the heavens, shaking the clouds in the sky until they scattered.

Three Ghost Mountain!

This name was highly inconsistent with the Blessed Land Three Mountains, and the name Three-Headed Ghost King, combined with his voice, felt like a chilling, sinister wind sweeping toward Su Yi and his demons, even in broad daylight.

The Three-Headed Ghost King stood five zhang tall, even more robust than King Aisha, whom Su Yi had encountered previously. At first glance, he resembled a three-headed werewolf, his entire body covered in deep purple fur. Although his physique stood upright like a human's, he retained his wolf heads. He wore armor crafted from white bones and gripped two bone blades, charging forward with a roar.

His roar caused Three Ghost Mountain itself to tremble slightly.

Su Yi, charging at the very front, felt no fear. He stepped into the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps and was the first to strike at the Three-Headed Ghost King.

Although the Three-Headed Ghost King had a terrifying appearance, Su Yi was no longer a mere mortal.

He would not fear any enemy now; he would only make his enemies fear him!

The two demon kings moved with extreme speed, quickly distancing themselves from their main forces as they charged toward each other.

Clang—

The Zhouwu Sword struck the Three-Headed Ghost King's two bone blades, sending bone shards flying. However, this time, Su Yi did not use his strength advantage to overwhelm his opponent, because the Three-Headed Ghost King possessed immense power.

"You've got quite a bit of strength!"

The Three-Headed Ghost King sneered, immediately exerting force through his arms, hoping to gain the upper hand in raw power.

However, Su Yi's current strength had already reached the Two Hundred Dragon Strength; how could he be surpassed?

With that thought, Su Yi suddenly erupted with his full power, shaking the Three-Headed Ghost King away with a single strike.

The Three-Headed Ghost King flew backward, scraping against the ground and carving a long, narrow trench with his heels. He flew a full twenty meters before he managed to stabilize his figure.

"This kind of power..."

The Three-Headed Ghost King clicked his tongue in secret. It was his first time encountering a Half-Demon with such formidable strength; it was simply unbelievable.

Seeing Su Yi gain the upper hand, the ten thousand demons were invigorated, roaring at the top of their lungs, hoping to use their momentum to suppress the demon army of Three Ghost Mountain.

The Three-Headed Ghost King was instantly enraged. His hulking body suddenly grew even taller, and his other two heads spat out long tongues, revealing a hideous expression as all his eyes stared fixedly at Su Yi.

Boom!

The Three-Headed Ghost King launched himself like a cannonball, soaring into the sky and slashing toward Su Yi with powerful momentum.

Relying on his Two Hundred Dragon Strength, Su Yi did not retreat at all. He needed to maintain his image of strength to boost the morale of his subordinates.

Clang!

The Three-Headed Ghost King swung his blades down. Su Yi used the Zhouwu Sword to block, but the force was so great that his legs buckled, and he nearly knelt, though he managed to stabilize himself just in time.

At this moment, Luo Zhenhai charged in with his blade, leaping over Su Yi's head as he transformed into dozens of afterimages.

The Three-Headed Ghost King was startled and hurriedly dodged.

The demon armies of both sides collided like two torrents. In an instant, demons were dying miserably; the sounds of roaring, shouting, and cursing were endless.

Su Yi and Luo Zhenhai joined forces to battle the Three-Headed Ghost King. With their blades and swords combined, they forced the Three-Headed Ghost King into a steady retreat, leaving him with no room to counterattack.

Luo Zhenhai's blade technique was fierce, and Su Yi's sword speed was incredibly fast. Having fought together before, they quickly developed a tacit understanding during the battle, their figures interweaving, blade light and sword shadows flashing like startled geese.

Boom—

Su Yi took the opportunity to stomp his foot onto the ground. The Two Hundred Dragon Strength blasted the rocks and soil within a hundred-meter radius, injuring hundreds of demons.

The reason he did not increase his power further was for fear of accidentally harming his own subordinates.

The Three-Headed Ghost King suddenly opened his mouths, firing venom in succession from all three. Luo Zhenhai, possessing extremely rich combat experience, dodged quickly and turned back with a slash, his blade qi tearing through the Three-Headed Ghost King's bone armor.

Although Luo Zhenhai had a severed arm, he was, after all, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and he was not even weaker than Kuang Chu'e.

The Three-Headed Ghost King had not surpassed the level of a Supernatural Demon King; he could only be considered a top-tier existence among Supernatural Demon Kings, capable of fighting across levels.

On the other side, Nan Xiaopao slammed her hands onto the ground, and countless vines burst from the soil, knocking away demon after demon.

The Purple-Backed Bear King transformed into his true form. A giant bear with a purple back rampaged without restraint, acting like a tank as he ravaged the battlefield.

Other Humanoid Demons also engaged with the Humanoid Demons of Three Ghost Mountain, locked in an inseparable struggle.

The number of demons on Three Ghost Mountain was about the same as those under Su Yi, but they were generally stronger, giving Three Ghost Mountain the advantage in the low-level skirmishes.

"I must kill him quickly!"

Su Yi's gaze was sharp. When conquering someone else's territory, only a life-and-death battle could intimidate the enemy.

With that thought, Su Yi unleashed his full strength.

He had already achieved minor success in the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword; when his sword speed reached its limit, it became invisible!

Su Yi flicked his right hand, and the Zhouwu Sword, under high-speed oscillation, became invisible. A sword wind rose, sweeping toward the Three-Headed Ghost King.

The Three-Headed Ghost King suddenly leaned forward and dove into the ground, causing Su Yi to strike at empty air.

"Is this the Earth-Evasion Technique?"

Su Yi's expression changed slightly; it was his first time encountering this kind of magical ability.

Luo Zhenhai did not panic. His eyes, hidden beneath his bamboo hat, darted back and forth, trying to track the whereabouts of the Three-Headed Ghost King.

At the same time, a caravan of carriages approached from the edge of the grasslands, escorted by twenty cultivators riding mounts and protecting five carriages—two for passengers and three for cargo.

"Huh? There are demons fighting up ahead!"

"So many demons, what is that aura? A Supernatural Demon King?"

"Should we take a detour?"

"Wait a moment, perhaps we can reap the benefits of their struggle."

The cultivators discussed among themselves, led by a one-eyed man with gaunt cheeks and cold, piercing eyes, dressed in a loose gray robe like a high-ranking official.

He muttered to himself, "A Nascent Soul, a Supernatural Demon King, and a Half-Demon with powerful vitality. Interesting."

He cast his gaze toward Three Ghost Mountain; could there be a treasure on the mountain?

With a loud boom!

The Three-Headed Ghost King burst from the ground, his twin blades stabbing toward Luo Zhenhai, who was currently turned away and in grave danger.

Su Yi suddenly threw his sword, and Feng Long awakened, erupting with transcendent speed to blast apart one of the Three-Headed Ghost King's heads, causing the beast to roar in pain and giving Luo Zhenhai the chance to turn around.

Squelch!

Luo Zhenhai slashed down with his blade; although he had not yet fully adapted to wielding it with his left hand, he still easily severed the right arm of the Three-Headed Ghost King.

With this strike, he was venting his hatred!

It was as if he were cutting it for Su Yi to see.

Su Yi's mouth twitched, but he said nothing, continuing his charge toward the Three-Headed Ghost King.

Strike while the iron is hot!

The Three-Headed Ghost King was both pained and enraged, his remaining two heads glaring at Luo Zhenhai and Su Yi as he swung his bone blade with his left hand, parrying frantically with no technique to speak of.

How could he possibly be a match for Su Yi and Luo Zhenhai while severely wounded?

In less than ten breaths of time, the Three-Headed Ghost King's remaining two heads and left arm were also severed, blood spraying across the grasslands until, with a loud thud, his massive body collapsed onto its knees before Su Yi and Luo Zhenhai.

The Three-Headed Ghost King, dead!

"Stop right there!"

Su Yi immediately roared, his voice carrying an increasingly oppressive weight that startled all the demons into turning their heads.
