Yunqi Kingdom, Nanping Mountain.
A dozen or so transformed Demon Race members sat in a circle, looking at the three Yunqi Martial Artists surrounded in their midst with mocking eyes.
These Demon Race members were uniformly at the Heaven Realm, while the trapped Yunqi Martial Artists were only at the Origin Realm level.
Blood flowed from the three Origin Realm Martial Artists; they stood back-to-back, gritting their teeth, their faces faintly showing fear and despair.
They were the highest-ranking generals of the thirty-six counties of Nanping Mountain, natives born and raised here.
Seeing the common people of their homeland slaughtered and devoured like pigs and dogs filled them with rage and helplessness.
They had no choice but to request aid from the Royal Capital, asking that Heaven Realm Martial Artist to intervene.
However, they never expected that the strength of this group of invading Demon Race members would far exceed their imagination.
That Heaven Realm Martial Artist had initially intended to try and communicate with the Demon Race members.
Yet, he was subdued by their combined strength in the first exchange and immediately torn apart and devoured by them...
And now, the three of them had fallen into the hands of the Demon Race members.
The dozen or so Heaven Realm Demon Race members sized up the three, occasionally sticking out their tongues to lick their lips.
Especially when they smelled the scent of blood emanating from the three, their faces revealed greed.
No matter how high the Realm of a Demon Race member, they possessed a primal craving for human flesh and blood.
The flesh and blood of high-Realm Martial Artists were immensely beneficial supplements to them!
It could be said that Human Race Martial Artists were the Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines for the Demon Race.
After devouring that Heaven Realm Martial Artist, the rate at which their injuries recovered had clearly accelerated significantly.
If they could consume these three as well, their injuries would likely recover completely!
"Brother Ang Shan and Brother Lao Bai, aren't you back yet? I'm already starved and parched!"
"They seemed to have sensed a powerful aura earlier..."
"Could it be those Old Demons from Yanhuang Ridge are chasing us here?"
"Absolutely impossible! We were extremely cautious along the way; we didn't even release our True Essence before reaching the Yunqi territory!"
"Haha, then perhaps these Humans are delivering more food to us?"
As the Demon Race members conversed, Demonic Qi rolled in from the horizon, and two figures descended from the sky.
The numerous Demon Race members looked over: "Brother Ang Shan, Brother Lao Bai, what did you see?"
Ang Shan spoke plainly: "Three outsiders have trespassed into the Yunqi territory and are heading straight for the Royal Capital!"
Lao Bai added: "These three consist of two Heaven Realm experts and one Origin Realm expert. Judging by their extraordinary attire, they seem to be Martial Artists from a Great Kingdom, and their strength should be much greater than Martial Artists of the same Realm!"
The Demon Race members joked: "Hey! No matter how strong they are, they can't be stronger than you two brothers!"
"Exactly! The more that come, the better! We can feast heartily!"
"Compared to ordinary humans, Martial Artists have more chewiness and are more useful."
Ang Shan and Lao Bai exchanged glances; this was also their thought.
They cautiously concealed their auras as they approached, finally deducing the cultivation levels of the three based on the residual True Essence along their travel path.
One was a Heaven Realm Mid-stage expert, one was a Heaven Realm Early Stage expert, and one was a Origin Realm Late-stage expert.
Such strength was not worth worrying about!
However, they did not want to invite unnecessary trouble or take too great a risk.
The auras of those two Heaven Realm Martial Artists were profoundly deep, and their True Essence was exceptionally condensed—a level rarely seen in their lives.
If they couldn't defeat them immediately and got bogged down in a prolonged fight, it would be troublesome!
The Old Demons from Yanhuang Ridge were still pursuing them!
Their group of Yao Beasts should act discreetly, finish eating these Martial Artists quickly, and then immediately leave to find another location.
Staying in one place for too long would cause the danger index to increase exponentially.
"Two brothers, can we start eating now?"
A Demon Race member licked its tongue, somewhat impatient.
Ang Shan waved his hand dismissively.
"Got it!"
Receiving Ang Shan's tacit approval, several Demon Race members were about to move against the three Origin Realm Martial Artists.
However, a powerful and majestic True Essence fluctuation arrived from the horizon.
The numerous Demon Race members looked up, and Ang Shan and Lao Bai also stood up.
"Hmph! How audacious! We weren't looking for trouble with them, but they delivered themselves right to our door!"
Ang Shan snorted coldly, a bloodthirsty look on his face.
"If they come, it's just an extra course! ~"
Lao Bai also sneered: "Let's finish this quickly, Ang Shan!"
Ang Shan nodded, and the two immediately shot up into the sky!
The arrivals were precisely Li Xuanxiao, Long Hui, and Wu Jiangming.
Previously, they had also noticed Ang Shan and Lao Bai secretly tailing them from a distance.
The reason they hadn't acted was because they weren't sure of the overall strength of the enemy group.
What if Ang Shan and Lao Bai were just the weakest two in this group of Yao Beasts?
Then they would have to act cautiously.
But according to the information provided by the King of Yunqi, these two Demon Race members should be the strongest within this group.
With that, everything became much easier to handle.
If the strongest in this group of Yao Beasts were only these two at the Heaven Realm Seventh Layer, then, frankly speaking, Li Xuanxiao and the other two had at least an eighty percent chance of taking them down!
This was no exaggeration!
As Martial Artists capable of joining the top faction of an Upper Kingdom, the Ancient Martial Mystic Court, whether it was Li Xuanxiao or Long Hui, they were top-tier existences within their respective Realms!
Their expected opponents were geniuses from the top factions of the Central Continent's Human and Demon Races.
For these rogue Demon Race members, the gap in skill level was not ordinary.
Even the lowest-ranked student from a top high school would be much stronger than the top student from many ordinary high schools!
So, what did it matter if their Realm was two levels higher?
Long Hui, at Heaven Realm Third Layer, if he encountered Muen at Heaven Realm Fifth Layer, it might only take two or three sword strikes.
"Two brothers, we are here to provide support for you!"
They left two Heaven Realm Demon Race members to guard the three Origin Realm Martial Artists. the remaining numerous Demon Race members all soared into the air, surrounding the trio of Li Xuanxiao.
Long Hui showed a look of sarcasm.
Wu Jiangming's eyes also held no fear.
If these Yao Beasts had come from a top faction, he would have fled long ago, or perhaps never even come at all.
But these rogue Demon Race members were not worth fearing!
This was the pride of being a native of the Divine Land and a Martial Artist from a top faction.
Li Xuanxiao turned his head: "Brothers, I want to discuss something with you. Can you leave them with one breath left, and let me finish them off at the end?"
Long Hui raised an eyebrow: "What nonsense are you speaking, kid? Who can hold back their strength during a fight?"
Wu Jiangming grinned; Brother Li seemed to have an unusual fervor for slaying Yao Beasts and eliminating evil.
Could he be a pervert?
Li Xuanxiao smiled helplessly, knowing his request was indeed a bit strange and excessive.
But he couldn't help it; the acquisition of Demon value Points could only be obtained by personally slaying Yao Beasts and eliminating evil.
Kills by others, even teammates, did not count...
Li Xuanxiao shook his head.
Forget it, he was indeed asking too much.
He just needed to put in more effort and try to kill as many as possible.
Listening to the trio's casual conversation, the faces of the numerous Demon Race members present turned ashen.
This was clearly treating them as nothing!
Even suggesting leaving one breath so he could kill them—what kind of talk was that!
How arrogant?
How contemptuous?
How insulting?
The Demon Race members' expressions darkened: "Arrogant brats, you will pay the price for your words!"
Ang Shan and Lao Bai made the first move!
