“As long as I, Gu Yuan, am here, the demons have no place here!”

Gu Yuan’s voice rang from his mouth, shaking up the world threateningly.

Gu Changqing and all the disciples of the Azure Ville looked at him in admiration.

He was the Immortal of the Azure Ville!

Gu Changqing smiled and could not help saying, “Even though Grandpa likes to boost his ego, he…has the right to!”

“Go and sort out the Golem!” Backo’s voice rang out quietly. It was cold and calm. He rested his glowing red eyes on Gu Yuan. “It’s my first time coming across an Immortal in the ordinary realm. It’s been a while since I last killed one, too!”

As he spoke, he reached out and a white bottle appeared in his palm. The bottle looked ordinary, but the moment it appeared, it seemed as if the entire world froze for a second. It was as if everyone was hallucinating. The surroundings were affected.

“Let me show you the top demonic spirit in the Demon Realm!” Backo scoffed coldly and cast a spell. He pointed at the bottle, and instantly, a wave of black smoke rose from the bottle.

The black smoke looked as if it was alive, twisting and twirling in the air. Instead of getting burnt by the flames, they turned into a black shadow, hovering above the flames.

It seemed as if the entire world had been tainted with this undetachable black demonic black smoke.

Gu Changqing could not help changing his expression. “So poisonous! Even local demonic black smoke was brought out!”

Vroom!

Meanwhile, the black smoke from earlier seemed as if they were being stimulated. Instantly, they thickened and darkened. It seemed as though light was unable to shine through them anymore. The black smoke was spreading, forcing the flames to retreat.

“Hah! Small trick!” Gu Yuan scoffed coldly. He waved and the Fire Flag flew into his hand. He waved it at Backo.

Vroom!

The surrounding flames were boiling in the air rapidly. Soon, it had turned into a gigantic flaming dragon, rushing toward Backo.

Swiftly after, the flames did not stop. It continued growing. In the blink of an eye, nine dragons appeared, almost covering the entire world. In the air, one could almost hear the roaring of dragons.

“Nine Dragons to the Sky!”

This majestic sight made everyone’s eyes in the Azure Ville light up with pride and awe.

All of them could not help holding their breaths as they watched the nine dragons rushing into the limitless darkness.

One was a burning flame, another was a darkening chill. The two of them were born to go against one other. The collision between them would make one’s heart skip a beat.

Bam!

Even though they were in the same space, because of the black smoke, it seemed to have been cut into two. When the nine dragons rushed into the darkness, it seemed as if they had collided into a screen. There was a soft ring.

The air vibrated like water ripples.

However, after entering the dark space, the nine dragons’ speed had decreased extremely as if it was hard to move forward.

Under the layer of black smoke, the 20 Combination Realm demons placed a demonic woman’s sculpture on the ground. Instantly, black swirls of smoke started to swirl around the sculpture.

Although they did not know what these demons were doing, stopping them would be the right thing to do!

Gu Changqing’s face darkened and he roared, “Listen up! Disciples of the Azure Ville, we’ll fight against the demons!”

Instantly, the Spiritual Qi in their surrounding started to move around. Everyone casted the spell at the same time. A wild gust of energy rushed out, turning into a glow that rushed toward the demons.

However, when the energy touched the black smoke, it was like mud dropping into the sea—they vanished out of sight instantly.

Backo reached out with both his hands and controlled the surrounding black smoke, pressing them against the nine dragons.

Sizz!

Layers of black smoke kept eating the bodies of the flaming dragons. Their flames were flickering in the air as they started to extinguish.

Sizz!

The nine dragons could not hold it together anymore. Along with a soft cry, they disintegrated into flames like burst balloons, exploding all over the place.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuan froze and gently scoffed.

Suddenly, the flames on the ground started to shoot up like flaming snakes. They moved rapidly and rushed into the darkness. Along with the explosive fireworks, they rose little by little.

Suddenly, the black space behind Backo had turned into a net of flames, dancing in the darkness. It was an eye-catching sight.

“Nine Dragon Lock!”

Gu Yuan’s voice resounded. The surrounding pillars were moving wildly. They turned into a massive flame, adding on to the already-burning flames that were rising in the air!

The net of flames grew bigger, trapping Backo and the demons in it. As if fishing with a net, it was gradually tightening.

Backo looked at the surrounding flames without any trace of fear on his face. He said calmly, “What I hate most about cultivators is their use of spells and treasures. Be it a spell or a treasure, it helps the combating ability. Especially extreme treasures that can bring the battle to the next level. Of course, we demons don’t use such things. We don’t have as many treasures as the Immortal Land,” Backo’s cold voice rang out gradually. “You rely on spells and treasures. Don’t blame us for outnumbering you all!”

“Hahaha, I’m coming!”

Following a burst of wild laughter, Amon’s figure gradually appeared from the darkness. He raised both hands and a black ax appeared. Instantly, it fell.

Sizz!

The black ax fell and smashed through the flames from above, cutting the flame off!

Swiftly after, Amon pushed further. He raised his hands and swung the ax toward Gu Yuan’s head!

A cutting sound resonated in the air. The ax cut through the sea of flames. It was heading toward Gu Yuan’s head!

The Fire Flag reacted instinctively and flew above Gu Yuan’s head. It flew and started spinning in the air, creating a flaming shield.

Vroom!

The gigantic ax smashed onto the light shield, letting out a deafening roar. Swiftly after, they all vanished and the world regained its peace.

The flames around the Fire Flag were slightly dull as it floated in front of Gu Yuan.

Amon could not help saying, “So, it’s indeed an Immortal Item!”

Gu Yuan’s eyes flickered. He did not show any fear on his face. “Since the two demon servants are here, you two really appreciate my Azure Ville!”

Amon smiled and said coldly, “How dare you make an event out of the sealing! You’re insulting us, the demon servants! We’ve reserved your life long ago. Today’s the right date to come and claim your life!”

Backo said, “We wanted to work together to take down the Azure Ville more cruelly. We didn’t expect to have accidental gains as well.”

“Accidental gains? Actually, I have that, too!” Gu Yuan wore the same cold, mocking smile. In his eyes, a golden light suddenly appeared.

In that instant, the surrounding flames seemed to have sensed something. They started to tremble vigorously. It was as if they were ready to meet their King.

Yet, Gu Yuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The blood floated in front of his chest, moving along with his spell. The blood turned into little golden flames.

The little golden flames were burning gradually. It was as if they could extinguish any time. However, it was letting out its shocking energy from within, changing the looks on everyone’s faces.

Including Backo and Amon!

They both widened their eyes at the same time, letting out a look of disbelief. They cried out in shock, “This is…the Flame of the Golden Crow?!”

“Although it’s different from the actual Golden Crow, it’s…enough!” Gu Yuan gloated.

All of these came from the expert’s painting.

Although they were suffocated by the Golden Crow, they did get along with it during life or death. They had gained a few things out of the painting.

By sacrificing their clothes, being roasted for over an hour, and running around naked, they gained this power in exchange. What a bargain!

1

An expert was an expert! One little gift from him was something that could benefit one forever!

Gu Yuan controlled the golden flames, directing them into the Fire Flag.

Instantly, the originally small flag had become bigger and as tall as an adult.

“Second Lock Formation!” Gu Yuan held the flag and waved the flag forcefully.

Phew!

The flames rose to the sky, almost burning everything from the ground to the sky. Swiftly after, it seemed as if it was unhappy about just burning on the ground, so it rose and shot up into the air.

It only took a moment before the sky had turned into a flaming sky.

From all directions, one after another, rays appeared, connecting the sky from the ground. More importantly, the flames were no longer red. There was a hint of gold in them!

Before this, for the sake of safety precautions, Payne had strengthened the sealing formation with the enlightenment of the Flame of the Golden Crow. Therefore, both the formation and the flame had been strengthened a notch higher. They did not expect to see this to be put to use.

The land seemed to have turned into a land of flames.

Blacko and Amon exchanged a look. They both raised their hands in unison as black smoke rolled over.

A dark phantom gradually appeared behind them. This figure was holding an ax. As it raised the ax, the surrounding flames were cut. The darkness slowly expanded as it surrounded the flames from both sides.

“Fire Falling!” Gu Yuan pointed a finger at the phantom. The flames in the sky instantly turned into a gigantic flaming ball, falling from the sky toward the phantom.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Countless fireballs flew past like shooting stars, attacking the darkness and making it vibrate as if it could be extinguished at any given time.

Amon’s eyes looked as if he was in pain. Finally, he sighed softly, “Whatever. We’ll just have to sacrifice these bunch of people!”

His eyes fell onto the bunch of demon servants. He gritted his teeth and waved at them. The surrounding black smoke was instantly affected. Like the wave of the sea, it rushed toward the 20 demon servants in their Combination realms.

“Demonic Spirit Infusion!”

Vroom!

With that, the 20 demon servants’ cultivations grew rapidly. Instantly, they had surpassed the Combination realm and went into the Mahayala realm!

20 demons in their Mahayala realm. It would have been beyond imagination in the past. Even now, it was something impressive.

They did put in quite some effort developing this bunch of Combination realm demon servants. Yet, now they had to be sacrificed.

Amon’s eyes turned red as he pronounced one syllable after another, “Sa-cri-fice!”

Vroom!

Demonic spirit boiled even more violently.

The demon servants were still filled with joy, thanking Lord Demon for blessing them. However, their faces changed as the demonic spirit was approaching them without stopping, gathering in them and making their bodies grow bigger and bigger. It was as if they could explode anytime!

The truth was that in the next instance, their bodies did explode.

Along with a loud ‘ping’, all of them burst like overfilled balloons, followed by a bunch of black smoke that came from their bodies. It was very thick and concentrated.

This black smoke was rushing toward the sculpture of a woman. Another portion of it went to Amon and Blacko.

Behind them, the black phantom grew even bigger, the ax in hand became clearer.

Hand up, chop down!

“Break…it!”

The gigantic ax chopped the air with all of its energy. The flames in the air were cut into halves instantly. The surrounding flame pillars flickered as a loud ring was heard in the air.

The air blew and the flame dispersed.

Bam!

Gu Yuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His face looked astonished as his body flew up.

Many disciples of the Azure Ville instantly died under the ax. Even their bodies had vanished.

Gu Changqing and Gu Yuan’s face instantly turned as white as paper.

They realized that black smoke was coming out from the soil on the ground, just like the burning black smoke that was rising upward.

Gulp!

The ground looked like it was breathing, as if something was about to break out.

On top of it, the flames on the ground had already died off.

Amon said with a pitiful tone, “We sacrificed twenty demon servants in exchange for this blow. However…it’s worth it. Yuecha, time to come out.”

The woman’s sculpture started glowing after absorbing the black smoke. Some black smoke around it started to swirl up like sea waves, gathering around the sculpture.

Gu Yuan gulped and said with a shocked voice, “Oh…no!”

He staggered a few steps backward instantly and rushed toward the sculpture.

“Flame!”

Vroom!

The surrounding flames were instantly affected. They gathered around him to form a gigantic flaming dragon, exuding an air of authority that was ready to destroy the sculpture.

“Ha-ha! Not giving up yet?” Amon scoffed coldly. The black smoke condensed into the black ax as it reached for Gu Yuan.

Sizz!

The flame was cut open. Gu Yuan flew back to where he was.

He did not stop. He cast the spell again. The Fire Flag formed a long flaming rope, reaching out to beat up the sculpture.

However, it was cut again!

Gu Yuan was feeling worn out. His energy had started to run out, but he did not stop trying to speed up the spell.

Gu Changqing could not help walking in front of him. He said, “Grandpa!”

“Changqing, listen carefully!” Gu Yuan panted and said. “Thinking of ways to bootlick isn’t embarrassing because it adds value to our lives. I hope you don’t look down on your Sect Master and I for doing so. Now’s the real time to test our honesty. I’d rather die than take a step back!

Gu Changqing and many of the disciples of the Azure Ville had red eyes. They used up all of their strength and lowered their heads. “Kill! Kill the demons! We’d rather die than to take a step back!”

“A bunch of ants!” Backo scoffed coldly. He raised his hand and black smoke engulfed the people.

Meanwhile, black swirling smoke appeared gradually from the ground. A woman dressed in black leather appeared.

1

When they saw this, everyone felt their heads exploding in despair.

Another demon servant came to the ordinary realm!

“Ha-ha-ha! The demons are undefeatable! We’ll rule the world!”

Backo laughed and looked at everyone mockingly. He walked toward the woman and said, “Yuecha, welcome to the ordinary realm.”

Yuecha gradually opened her eyes. Seeing Backo in front of her, she raised her hand out of the blue. Her palm was sparkling gold. She slapped Backo on the chest.

2

Slap!

Backo instantly flew into the air, his mind blank and his face perplexed.

What just happened?

However, he heard a voice saying calmly, “Sorry, I’m a spy.”
