Come at Me Together. I'm in a Hurry
The border of Sanbao Commandery.
The three-headed Demon King is traveling through the night.
A giant blue-backed wolf led the way, followed by a black-scaled Snake Demon and a small mountain demon.
The blue-backed wolf king kept looking back.
It has lived and cultivated for over a thousand years, relying not on its fighting prowess, but on its caution.
Of its peers, those fiercer and stronger have had their graves overgrown with weeds several times over, but it has survived to this day.
As they approached the border of Qingzhou, the Black-Scaled Snake Demon could no longer contain its discontent.
"We are, after all, great demons of the Core Illumination."
Why are they fleeing like stray dogs?
The Blue-backed Wolf King did not turn around, but a deep sense of apprehension flashed in its eyes.
Did you see Yellow Wind Mountain being trampled flat?
"The Qingzhou Demon Suppression Division has been too murderous lately; even the Core Illumination Demon King is being killed one after another." It paused, "Losing face is nothing; losing your life means losing everything."
The last mountain Demon King remained silent.
It was the weakest of the three demons and couldn't explain the current situation in Qingzhou. It only knew that many of the Core Illumination Demon King had died, and it sensed that a great terror was about to befall it.
If I follow these two, I might survive.
Before the boundary marker of Qingzhou, the Green-backed Wolf King suddenly stopped.
There was no unusual smell from the mountain breeze, and there was no sound from the surroundings.
But its demonic body instinctively felt a chill that shot up from its tailbone all the way to the back of its neck.
Thanks to this keen intuition, it has escaped countless life-threatening situations, and now its right eyelid twitches wildly whenever it has a similar feeling.
Something's not right!
The next instant, five-colored light shone above the heads of the three demons.
A thousand-foot -Core Illumination Light swiftly enveloped it.
The three demons froze at the same moment, as if the world had suddenly solidified.
The Green-Backed Wolf King was the first to unleash its Demon Power.
Its Demon Core roared, its leg muscles suddenly swelled, and cracks as thick as an arm appeared in the ground beneath its feet. Even with such efforts, its body could not move forward an inch.
The black-scaled Snake Demon tried to escape by turning into black smoke, but found that its body was crushed as if by a mountain, and it couldn't even stir up a bit of its Demon Power.
The mountain Demon King was most terrified. As soon as it raised its foot, it was pressed to one knee by an invisible force and could not move.
Yang Xiao arrived from afar, stepping through the air without deliberately concealing his aura.
The black armor and red cloak unfurled in the night wind, and layers of Core Illumination Light spread outward from beneath his feet, illuminating the entire mountain path with five-colored rays.
As the figure approached, the three-headed Demon King finally confirmed that the Demon Suppression General had caught up with them.
Bad news: The Demon Suppression General is coming.
Good news: There's only one person on the other side, and it's not Pei Xuance!
But the Green-Backed Wolf King didn't look too relaxed.
It had been outside of Qingzhou before, but it had never seen anyone possess a thousand-foot-long Core Illumination Domain.
"Demon Suppression General."
The Green-Backed Wolf King's eyes revealed his wariness. "The border is just ahead. We're leaving Qingzhou, and we won't be in any conflict with you."
Is there no conflict?
Yang Xiao landed in front of the boundary markers and glanced at them.
Chaos is imminent in Qingzhou. These Core Illumination Demon King who left Qingzhou today will surely return if Qingzhou falls into decline in the future.
Moreover, the Dao Embryo within the Mystic Core twitched slightly, as if urging it on.
"I'm in a hurry, you can all come together."
Who would dare to say "Come on, let's go!" to the three-headed Core Illumination?
Upon hearing this, the black-scaled Snake Demon's face turned arrogant.
"What an arrogant tone!"
"You, the Demon Suppression General, are so reckless as to try and stop the Three-Headed Core Illumination Demon King?"
Yang Xiao's expression turned serious, and he vanished from the spot in a flash.
The three demons only saw a flash before their eyes, and then heard a loud crash behind them.
Yang Xiao had already gripped the Shadowless Blade at his waist with his right hand, and with a backhand swing, he unleashed a Gold- Gold-Splitting Jade-Breaking Saber.
A golden light appeared, followed by a deafening explosion of Gold-Shattering Jade-Collapsing exploding!
The demon Demon King's protective Demon Power was shattered by the blade, its head flew off, and its body crashed to the ground under the suppression of the Core Illumination Light. Yang Xiao then took out the Demon Core.
The entire process took less than three breaths.
The black-scaled Snake Demon turned around and looked at this scene, its body trembled, and the arrogance in its eyes completely disappeared.
Before the knife was drawn, it didn't even see the movement clearly.
Its head manifested its original form, and it opened its mouth to spew out its most threatening attack, a large amount of corrosive venom shooting out.
The venom sizzled as it hit the ground, corroding deep pits into the stone surface.
Yang Xiao used the Canglan Water Pattern to create a layer of water light, blocking the poison from the front, while his figure rapidly approached.
He unleashed the Void-Treading Wind-Chasing Steps, his figure swaying in place.
In the next instant, he appeared in front of the Black-Scaled Snake Demon.
The black-scaled Snake Demon had no time to stop its attack and crashed head-on into Yang Xiao's Core Illumination Domain, its body freezing once again.
Yang Xiao raised his Army-Breaking Spear.
The spear tip condensed blazing white Solar Flame, imbued with Lion Flame and Golden Astral Force, first piercing the Snake Demon's chest, then the power to Evil-Splitting, Defilement-Burning entered its body through the wound.
The black-scaled Snake Demon screamed in agony as its body and soul were both scorched, its body twisting unnaturally into a ball.
Yang Xiao formed a hook with his five fingers and directly plucked into the Snake Demon's body.
When he emerged again, a Demon Core was now in his palm.
The Green-Backed Wolf King did not rush to make a move.
It is waiting.
It waited for Yang Xiao to reveal a weakness when he killed the first two Demon Kings, but it never got the chance.
The man's movements were ridiculously fast; he killed demons, retrieved their cores, and switched targets without pausing for a moment.
Seeing that the Snake Demon was also dead, it finally gave up on weighing the options.
If there's no chance to escape, there's only one way left: fight tooth and nail for survival.
The Green-Backed Wolf King's body rapidly expanded, its claws and teeth transforming into sharp blades, and its entire body was enveloped in a chilling Demonic Aura.
The Demon Core within his body suddenly erupted!
It was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye it had pounced on Yang Xiao, its sharp claws wrapped in azure Demonic Aura, aiming straight for Yang Xiao's neck.
Yang Xiao looked up and reached out to press down on the sharp claws.
His fair hands, without even a bulging vein, firmly held down Demon King several times his size.
In the midst of the violent collision, the figures of the human and the demon remained frozen in place.
Yang Xiao swung his backhand and slashed from under Gold-Splitting Jade-Breaking Saber.
Amidst the Gold-Shattering Jade-Collapsing, the wolf king's protective Demon Power was dispersed by the blade, which then pierced his chest and abdomen, instantly creating a deep, bone-revealing gash.
"Aww--!"
The Green-Backed Wolf King's eyes were filled with unbearable pain, and it instinctively tried to retreat.
Yang Xiao pressed down on its lower jaw with one hand.
The Shadowless Blade pierced through the patient's mouth, its sharp Golden Astral Force instantly penetrating the back of the neck.
As the Gold-Shattering Jade-Collapsing, the entire neck snapped instantly. The Blue-backed Wolf King's struggles quickly weakened, and the twitching of its limbs went from violent to sporadic, until it finally stopped moving completely.
The massive true form of the Green-Backed Wolf King crashed to the ground.
Thus, all three Demon Kings were dead, in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
Yang Xiao only confirmed that the three Demon Core were intact before taking out the Qi-Gathering Bottle again to extract Yao Qi and observe the situation.
A few wisps of residual energy still pulsed within the bottle, pointing towards the next direction.
Driven by the Sky-Rending Wind Pattern, Void-Treading Wind-Chasing Steps, his figure transforming into a blur as he swept across the mountains, his black armor and red cloak flashing across the night sky.
He had only one thought in his mind:
"Before the great calamity befalls Qingzhou, we must break through to the Dao Infant!"
