A cacophony of screams erupted.

The flow of people on the street quickly became chaotic.

The people hadn't witnessed Demon attack on the city for countless years.

Upon seeing the two terrifying Demon standing in the road, they immediately screamed in terror.

Panic ensued, with cries, the sound of overturned stalls, and children's wails mingling together. Some people didn't even realize what was happening before being dragged away by those around them.

The patrolling Yamen Runner reacted quickly, drew his sword, and shouted to the surrounding pedestrians:

"Go back inside! Close the door!"

One of the young constables turned and ran toward the alarm bell on the street corner, while another took out a communication device from his pocket, preparing to report to the town's demon bureau.

The Yellow Wind Demon King stood in the middle of the street, glanced up at the young Yamen Runner running towards the alarm bell, and made no attempt to stop him.

There is no one left in Guanlan Commandery that it can fear.

No matter how loud the alarm bells ring, or how quickly the Demon Suppression Division arrives, they can only rush the sacrifices to one place.

It slowly raised its sleeve, dusted off a bit of dust from the corner of its clothes, and a sinister glint slowly appeared on its lips.

"Knock, call them all over."

"It would be best to summon Pei Xuance!"

Black Rock stood to its side and slightly behind, its tall figure visible beneath its grey robe, and its hood revealing a head covered in scales.

He unsheathed the greatsword from his back, letting it hang in his hand with the tip on the ground. As he strolled around casually, the blade dragged across the street, leaving a jarring white mark on the Bluestone.

It looked at the scattering crowd and asked:

"Go to the Demon Suppression Division first?"

The Yellow Wind Demon King looked at the street corner where the alarm bell had already rung, then strolled leisurely down the street, even taking in the surrounding shops with some interest.

"Walk slowly inside, they'll come on their own."

Black Rock asked no further questions.

It raised its greatsword and swung it forward, shattering the stone archway at the street corner.

Boom--!

The towering stone archway broke in the middle, and the heavy stone beams crashed down, raising dust that completely blocked the escape route for the several stunned civilians standing nearby.

Several Yamen Runner rushed over to drag the man away, but ended up being exposed to Black Rock instead.

When Black Rock saw someone running back against the flow of people, he raised his sword and slashed.

The moment the sword light fell, a long saber came from the side to meet it.

Clang--!

The immense force slammed down along the blade, and the demon- Deputy General who had rushed over gripped the blade with both hands, causing it to shatter instantly as the greatsword fell.

The greatsword continued its downward momentum, falling straight down, instantly cleaving the Deputy General in two. Blood flowed across the Bluestone ground, staining the sword mark.

The second Deputy General arrived a step too late, was immediately brought to a halt.

He understood immediately after the Demon King unleashed only one sword strike: he was no match for him!

But the gaunt weasel standing in the middle of the street, who hadn't made a move from beginning to end, exuded an even more terrifying aura!

The Deputy General's thoughts raced. Without General Pei, they couldn't handle even one of the Demon King at the Core Illumination Realm. There was no point in rushing in to their deaths.

He swallowed the fear that surged within him, refrained from charging again, and immediately adjusted his commands:

"Clear the streets!"

"Prepare the crossbows!"

Crossbowmen occupied the rooftops on both sides, several Deputy General led Captain in armor and shields to shield the street entrance with their bodies, and the rest evacuated the civilians.

The first volley of arrows rained down.

Black Rock stood in front of Yellow Wind Demon King, without even moving an inch.

The crossbow bolts struck the layer of gray-black Demonic Aura that rose around it, creating a series of cracking sounds as the bolt shafts snapped and scattered on the ground.

"... So noisy!"

The Yellow Wind Demon King frowned slightly and gently blew.

A wisp of Yellow Wind swept across the street, carrying sand and dust.

The Captain at the front sensed something was wrong the moment they made contact.

The Yellow Wind didn't feel heavy, but the fine sand it carried hit my armor, making a dense, rattling sound, like countless insects gnawing at it.

The nail plates thinned layer by layer until they became as fragile as paper.

Then came the flesh beneath the armor. The wind and sand swept past the skin and flesh, and in an instant, the flesh and flesh seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand.

A few breaths later, wherever the Yellow Wind passed, rows of the Demon Suppression Army, who had been holding weapons, turned from living people into bare bones, their armor hanging empty on their skeletons, collapsing to the ground with a crash.

"Kill!"

A Deputy General at the Aperture-Opening Realm roared and swung his waist saber wildly at Yellow Wind in front of him.

The blade made a sharp, grinding sound as soon as it entered the Yellow Wind, and when it was pulled out, only the hilt remained in the palm of the hand.

The next moment, the Yellow Wind devoured the man and his armor.

When the wind stopped, all that remained on the street was a skeleton in a supporting posture, and fine yellow sand mixed with blood powder.

The street corner fell into a deathly silence.

The Yellow Wind Demon King gazed at the unaffected Deputy General in the distance, his voice drifting slowly across the long street.

Where is Pei Xuance?

"You destroyed my mountain gate, and now you don't even want your own place anymore?"

The remaining Deputy General did not answer.

He swallowed the blood in his throat, gripped his long sword tightly again, and gestured to the Captain behind him, signaling to continue the retreat.

Black Rock understood his movement and stepped forward, sword in hand.

"Doing something useless right in front of us?"

The Deputy General glanced at the alleyway entrance, which was not yet fully evacuated.

He then wiped the already sweaty hilt of the knife with his sleeve, wrapped it in a strip of cloth, and gripped it tightly again. He then stood in front of the crowd, leaving only a short, low shout.

"Run!"

Far away.

Yang Xiao had just completed his breakthrough and was currently sensing the aura of the Five-Colored Glazed Dao Infant.

Suddenly, I sensed two terrifying demonic Yao Qi.

One aura was deep and fierce, while the other had already exceeded the upper limit of the aura used in the recent pursuit of the Demon King. It was like an old tree with countless intertwined roots, far surpassing the level of the Core Illumination Realm.

When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.

He picked up the Army-Breaking Spear, leaped off the hillside, and the wild grass behind him was flattened by the sudden gust of air.

The mountains swept past beneath our feet.

In the sunlight, the city of Guanlan Commandery grew larger and larger, and the faint sound of bells could be heard from within, one after another.

In the streets and alleys of the city, some people still heard the wind and looked up.

A black and red phantom instantly vanished from sight.

On the street.

Black Rock had cornered the Deputy General.

Deputy General a section of his long sword broken off, he still raised the broken blade, preparing to strike again.

The moment Black Rock's greatsword came crashing down.

A sharp whistle came from afar, and a spear suddenly pierced down from the horizon.

"Clang--!"

First came an extremely heavy thud.

Black Rock felt a sudden lightness in his hand; his greatsword was deflected by the spear shaft, its trajectory completely veered off course. The spearhead then followed suit, moving so fast it left no afterimage.

Pfft!

The black spearhead pierced its chest.

From the appearance of the spear shadow to the greatsword missing its mark and the spearhead piercing the body, the entire process took less than a breath.

Black Rock didn't even have time to see who it was.

It felt its protective demonic Demonic Aura be torn apart the instant it came into contact with the spearhead.

Immediately afterwards, the blazing white Solar Flame that had gathered on the tip of the spear erupted suddenly, flowing into the body through the wound, scorching not only flesh and blood.

I am in excruciating pain.

The Demon Power that had just been gathered within its body was abruptly severed by the intense pain.

Black Rock lowered his head as a long, dark spear pierced his chest, pinning him to the Bluestone ground. Crimson Lion Flame and icy cold air mingled at the wound, causing him to feel numb with pain.

It then raised its eyes and could see the person who had come in.

Black armor and a red cloak.

A face that was too young.

He immediately recalled that among the messages Yellow Wind Mountain had received earlier, besides Pei Xuance's movements, there was another name that was mentioned most frequently.

Before he could think it through, Black Rock swayed, and his greatsword slipped from his hand and crashed onto the Bluestone.

The massive body crashed to the ground!
