The sudden appearance of the Blue Demon Race experts instantly made the atmosphere around them extremely tense. Baili Yuchen, who should have been in a berserk state, immediately calmed down and turned his gaze toward the Blue Demon Race experts.
"Ha ha! So this is Sky Net Star?"
"The spiritual energy really is exceedingly thin. If not for our race's insider using the power of the formation, we likely would not have been able to descend here."
"Hmph! In such a lowly world, sending just one early-stage Dao-Seeking Realm expert from our race would be enough to suppress everyone."
"That is true, but we should not let down our guard. After all, an Earthbound Immortal once appeared here. Who knows whether he left behind any contingencies?"
Indifferent voices descended from midair. Clearly, these Blue Demon Race experts did not regard Sky Net Star highly. If an Earthbound Immortal had not once appeared here, their attitude would likely have been even more arrogant.
"Maduoli pays respects to the elders!"
"Make Lie pays respects to the elders!"
At that moment, Zhou Xinghe and Dugu Yao hurriedly knelt toward the Blue Demon Race experts in midair.
Decades ago, the two of them had disguised themselves as ordinary human martial artists and steadily infiltrated until they became king-level leaders of this world. Their scheming could not be called anything less than deep.
Now that they had guided their race's experts here, they could be said to have completed their mission perfectly.
"Mm, you have done very well!"
"How is it? Have you found out anything about that Earth Immortal Realm expert's cave abode over the years?"
At this moment...
One of the Blue Demon Race experts revealed his true appearance.
His features looked no different from those of a human. He was rather thin and wore a black robe embroidered with an enormous azure python. His entire bearing exuded a sinister, eerie aura.
"Damn it!"
"Judging from this Blue Demon Race member's aura, he is at least in the middle stage of the Dao-Seeking Realm. As a mere peak Void Transformation Realm cultivator, I am no match for him at all."
Baili Yuchen had completely calmed down by now.
Though he desperately wanted to kill the two traitors before him, it was clearly impossible today.
Moreover, judging by the current situation, whether he could even retreat unscathed remained unknown.
With that thought, Baili Yuchen silently took several steps back. Then, he suddenly shot into the air and sped toward the southwest in an instant.
"Hehe, a little bug wants to run?"
The Blue Demon Race expert who had just revealed his true appearance smiled faintly and reached toward Baili Yuchen's retreating figure.
The elemental power in the void surged together madly, instantly forming a giant hand that completely blocked Baili Yuchen's path. It kept shrinking, reaching his back in the blink of an eye before pressing a palm onto it.
Pfft—
Baili Yuchen spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned as pale as paper, and his body trembled violently. He had clearly suffered severe injuries.
At that moment, Baili Yuchen abruptly turned around, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the Blue Demon Race expert behind him.
"Little fellow, if you have any last words, say them now!"
"You descended here for more than just the treasures in Xiao Zhengqing's cave abode, didn't you?"
"Ha ha! You are right. But besides the Earth Immortal treasures, we also need to sacrifice your entire human race as blood food for us!"
"What?"
Baili Yuchen's expression changed drastically.
He had never imagined that the Blue Demon Race would be so vicious, actually intending to slaughter the human race. This was something he could never accept.
"Our plan is simple: use you human cultivators as offerings for our race's blood sacrifice, to fuel our cultivation. Of course, the flesh of you humans is also our food!"
"I will not let you have your way!"
"Ha ha! Is that so? Then I would like to see how you intend to defy my command!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blue Demon Race expert flickered and instantly appeared behind Baili Yuchen.
Then...
An incomparably massive fist came crashing down.
This punch contained an overwhelming might. If it landed, it would likely blast Baili Yuchen's head apart on the spot!
A trace of desolation flashed through Baili Yuchen's eyes. He knew he absolutely could not withstand it.
At that critical moment, when a thousand pounds hung by a single thread, a streak of golden light suddenly appeared before Baili Yuchen, forcibly blocking the Blue Demon Race expert's attack.
"What?"
"Who is it? Who dares obstruct me?"
"You are simply courting death!"
The Blue Demon Race expert flew into a towering rage. Temporarily abandoning the prey before him, he shot out again and chased after the direction from which the golden light had come. The Blue Demon Race experts summoned earlier also flew out after him.
Seizing this opportunity, Baili Yuchen swiftly retreated to a relatively safe distance.
Meanwhile, outside the Azure Light Demon-Summoning Formation, Qu Zihan had already led quite a few human experts from the Martial Dao Alliance over as reinforcements.
When they arrived, they happened to see Baili Yuchen facing that fatal punch.
At that moment.
Nearly everyone felt a measure of despair.
An attack from a middle-stage Dao-Seeking Realm Blue Demon Race expert was powerful enough to destroy a large city!
Although Qu Zihan and the others did not know exactly how powerful that Dao-Seeking Realm Blue Demon Race expert was,
they could clearly tell from the auras released by both sides that Baili Yuchen was no match for that Blue Demon Race expert at all.
Yet what none of them had expected was that someone really could block that heaven-destroying, earth-shattering attack.
Several breaths later...
As the golden light slowly faded, amid the uncertain and startled gazes of the crowd, the tardily arriving Lu Yun slowly walked step by step toward the several Blue Demon Race experts.
"Hmm? You are Lu Yun?"
West King Dugu Yao seemed to recall something and suddenly stepped forward, asking Lu Yun.
After his son Dugu Mingjun had returned from the Unfixed Pagoda back then, he had reported everything that had happened to him in detail.
Therefore, though it was their first meeting, he was no stranger to Lu Yun.
"You are?"
Lu Yun did not know who this middle-aged man who had suddenly stepped forward was.
"You may call me West King Dugu Yao, or Make Lie of the Blue Demon Race."
Dugu Yao raised his head and spoke arrogantly.
Although he had learned from Dugu Mingjun that the youth before him was no simple figure,
Baili Yuchen had already been severely injured, while their side was packed with experts. No matter how many trump cards these humans possessed, they could never turn the tables.
However.
After hearing Dugu Yao's answer, Lu Yun did not retreat even half a step. Instead, he lazily yawned and took several more steps forward.
"Hehe, young man! You truly do not know when to accept kindness!"
"Since that is the case, you will not be leaving today."
Dugu Yao was somewhat angered out of embarrassment. After speaking for so long, this young man had not taken him seriously at all.
This was simply...
What could be endured, and what could not be endured!
He knew Lu Yun had some ability, so he did not rashly step forward to challenge him one-on-one. Instead, he gave Zhou Xinghe, the Northern King, a look.
Before anyone realized it.
The former West King and Northern King of humanity had quietly surrounded Lu Yun from the front and back.
Yet Lu Yun seemed to be thinking about something.
He still stood quietly where he was, as though... completely unaware of the approaching danger!
