Demon Sword Mountain

Silence!

All the demons on the grassland stared at Su Yi and Luo Zhenhai, dumbfounded. The Three-Headed Ghost King had been defeated?

The demons of Three Ghost Mountain trembled with fear. Even their king had been killed—what was the point of fighting on?

"Those who surrender will be spared. If you dare resist or flee, you die!"

Su Yi raised the Zhouwu Sword high and barked the order, his voice carrying far and wide.

The moment he finished speaking, thousands of demons dropped to their knees, declaring their submission.

But some hard-headed demons charged at Su Yi and Luo Zhenhai, while others took their chances and tried to flee.

Su Yi hurled the Zhouwu Sword. Feng Long guided it as it streaked through the air like lightning, chasing down every fleeing demon. Each fell to a single sword thrust through the throat—instant death!

The demons on Su Yi's side burst into cheers.

"We won again!"

"Hahaha! So this is Three Ghost Mountain? It belongs to us now!"

"Our king is amazing!"

"I won without even lifting a finger?"

"Our king is way too powerful. It feels like no one could ever beat him!"

The demons chattered excitedly. In their hearts, Su Yi's image as an invincible king had taken root.

In battle after battle, Su Yi had proven his strength. He could lead them to glory!

Su Yi pointed his sword at the Three Ghost Gods and said, "From now on, this place won't be called Three Ghost Mountain."

The Purple-Backed Bear King asked excitedly, "How about King Mountain?"

"..."

Su Yi was speechless and couldn't be bothered to answer.

Nan Xiaopao chimed in with a suggestion. "How about Demon Sword Mountain?"

Su Yi thought it sounded pretty good. There was no way he'd name it after Emperor Su, so he nodded. "From now on, this place will be called Demon Sword Mountain. I am the Demon King, and all demons will follow me!"

Demon Sword Mountain!

The words set all the demons' blood roaring, and they shouted in unison.

"Demon Sword Mountain! Demon Sword Mountain!"

"Demon Lord! Demon Lord!"

Over ten thousand demons shouted together. The spectacle was breathtaking, and even the cultivators in the distance could hear them loud and clear.

The one-eyed man laughed disdainfully. "The Demon Lord of Demon Sword Mountain? What arrogance. The Desolate Ancient is vast—how could a bunch of little demons like you rule it?"

Then he leaped into the air. A flying sword shot out from his sleeve and landed beneath his feet, carrying him toward the battlefield.

At the same time, another image appeared in Su Yi's mind.

Please invite any one of the following members to join the Emperor Su Sect!

Xiahou Jinxuan!

Yan Kongtong!

Zhang Feitian!

Purple-Clad Devil Lord!

Dongfang Jue!

More than twenty names appeared for him to choose from, but he didn't make a selection right away. He'd noticed the one-eyed man approaching.

Luo Zhenhai narrowed his eyes, and the other Humanoid Demons turned around one after another.

"Another enemy?"

Nan Xiaopao muttered. The man had witnessed the Three-Headed Ghost King's gruesome death and still dared to attack. That meant he was even stronger than the Three-Headed Ghost King.

The Purple-Backed Bear King roared, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Standing on his flying sword, the one-eyed man let his sleeves flutter in the wind, striking the pose of an unparalleled master. He declared proudly, "I am Dongfang Jue. The treasures on this mountain belong to me. If you want to live, lie down and stay there!"

Dongfang Jue!

Su Yi's expression turned fascinating. He quickly closed his eyes, and only after confirming that Dongfang Jue was on the list in his mind did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Luo Zhenhai's expression darkened. He said quietly, "He's a powerful member of the top Aristocratic Clan in Fierce Tang, and he has a close relationship with the emperor of Fierce Tang."

Though Xia Tianyi was his goal, he had no confidence that he could take on Fierce Tang.

The demons stirred. The Humanoid Demons had all heard of Dongfang Jue, after all—he was one of the top figures among the Seven Dynasties.

Nan Xiaopao was so nervous that she instinctively stepped in front of Su Yi.

Su Yi gently pushed her aside, gazed up at Dongfang Jue, and asked, "Are you sure you want to make an enemy of me?"

Dongfang Jue laughed when he heard that.

Luo Zhenhai looked at Su Yi in surprise. Could Su Yi actually stand against Dongfang Jue?

The demons grew excited too. Even the former demons of Three Ghost Mountain looked at Su Yi expectantly.

They hated humans even more than they hated demons from rival tribes.

"You Half-Demon, do you really think you're strong?"

"You're nothing but a frog in a well. What good is brute strength?"

"I'm an eagle soaring in the sky, while you're nothing but an ant."

Dongfang Jue mocked Su Yi, his words dripping with contempt. He relished the feeling. Driving those disgusting demons to despair was a wonderful thing.

Arrogant!

Conceited!

The demons were furious, but they dared not speak up. Dongfang Jue's presence was simply too overwhelming.

At that moment, Su Yi stepped forward three paces, looked up at Dongfang Jue, and said, "Believe it or not, I can count to three, and you'll be dead."

Dead in three?

Dongfang Jue laughed even harder. He declared proudly, "Go ahead and count to three. What of it?"

He wasn't stupid. Su Yi might be trying to trick him.

So he decided he'd attack as soon as Su Yi reached two!

He'd give Su Yi a glimmer of hope, then finish him off!

The demons immediately grew tense. Even Nan Xiaopao covered her little mouth, while Luo Zhenhai gripped his blade tightly, ready to fight at any moment.

The cultivators in the distance chatted and laughed, certain that Su Yi and the demons were doomed.

"One!"

Su Yi shouted, while silently ordering, Choose Dongfang Jue to join the Emperor Su Sect. Erase him at once!

Dongfang Jue sneered to himself. Sorry, but demons and honor don't go together. I'll let you count one more time!

In the Emperor Su Sect group chat:

Emperor Su invited Dongfang Jue to join the Emperor Su Sect!

Emperor Su erased Dongfang Jue!

Black Tiger Emperor: Hm?

Old Lord Qiyang: Erased...

Demon Wolf Star: Damn! Could that be Dongfang Jue of Fierce Tang?

Wu Qingyao: For real?

...

The Emperor Su Sect exploded into commotion. Meanwhile, Dongfang Jue, who was waiting for Su Yi's second count, suddenly vanished into thin air. His presence disappeared completely, and his clothes and flying sword tumbled to the ground.

Every demon stared wide-eyed at the sight.

Luo Zhenhai even lifted his bamboo hat, his face full of shock.

Nan Xiaopao's mouth fell open. She was startled too.

Had Dongfang Jue really vanished?

Was he dead?

The cultivators in the distance noticed Dongfang Jue's sudden disappearance and froze. The entire grassland fell silent.

It was so quiet they could hear the breeze drifting past.

Su Yi's expression remained calm. "Anyone who dares to defy Demon Sword Mountain will meet this fate!"

His voice rang beneath the vast sky, and the demons erupted in excitement.

"My heavens! Our king is incredible!"

"What just happened?"

"He died just like that?"

"Demon Lord! Call him the Demon Lord! 'King' doesn't do justice to his might!"

"Could that be a divine ability?"

The demons were thrilled, shouting the Demon Lord's name.

The Purple-Backed Bear King and the other Humanoid Demons were breathing hard, their eyes blazing as they stared at Su Yi.

Su Yi's lips curled upward, his expression haughty and proud.

Little did anyone know, his heart was bleeding.

He'd wasted a chance to recruit someone just like that!

Luo Zhenhai gazed at Su Yi with complicated feelings. This battle had won his complete respect. That kind of divine ability—he feared even Xia Tianyi couldn't match it!

"How did you do that?"

Nan Xiaopao came up to Su Yi and asked excitedly.

Dongfang Jue had been so arrogant, yet Su Yi had said he'd erase him—and erased him he had!

There'd been no spectacular battle, but the silent, unseen death had left an even greater shock!
