At this thought, he no longer hesitated. A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes as he stepped toward the cliff.
Just then, a faint voice sounded by his ear.
And behind her, figures emerged one after another—ten in total—and quietly surrounded the finely dressed young man.
Then, he gave a slight nod and casually uttered a single word.
At this thought, he abruptly flicked his sleeve, attempting to cast a ray of Spiritual Light.
His gaze swept over the Golden Bear Demon General.
"Who?!"
’Other Demons might want to hold me hostage to get something, but with a fiend like that, he’ll definitely kill me without a second thought.’
Suddenly, the Group of Demons parted ways.
Yu Duchuan’s pupils contracted.
"Tch."
Hearing this, Xie Yutang raised an eyebrow slightly and said coolly, "My master is called Moon-Devouring."
But the instant the word left his lips, Yu Duchuan shot into the air, his face filled with terror.
The indifferent voice sounded right by its ear. The Cyan Simurgh froze, horrified to discover that Lin Shu was no longer on the cliff.
Lin Shu glanced at the Profound Armor Maiden.
’I have urgent business later, so the faster this is over, the better.’
Her expression was cold, and the light of a sword swirled in her eyes.
’They’re surrounding me but not attacking... They’re waiting for an even stronger Great Demon!’
’And from what that Female Demon said, this group of Demon Generals isn’t even all of them.’
"Little Mountain God, don’t move. My master, the Demon General, wishes to see you."
"Hah!"
He strode through the Group of Demons and casually tossed two corpses to the ground.
’These wretched beasts... how dare they look at me like that.’
The moment he heard that name.
The Wind-Riding Cyan Simurgh broke free from the Spiritual Light, Feathers scattering as its body, now covered in wounds, emerged.
Lin Shu looked away from her and back at the City Lord.
The auras on the Jade Disc had long since vanished completely.
His tone was calm, not particularly murderous.
His forearms were stained with a glaring, scarlet blood.
At the same time, surging with Demon Power, more than ten terrifyingly powerful Formulas shot out in unison.
Yu Duchuan’s expression changed drastically, and he instantly abandoned his earlier plan.
’But I have to bow to the circumstances.’
"He said, ’A warrior can be killed, but not disgraced,’" Xie Yutang replied earnestly.
’The two of them were in the same realm.’
Moon-Devouring’s vicious reputation had long given him sleepless nights.
This sense of absurdity made Yu Duchuan tremble with rage, and his voice grew hoarse. "It was you. It’s always been you harming me! You want Yu Sheng to replace me!"
’The Demon I’ve been hunting for so long... The one for whom I sacrificed the lives of hundreds from the Demon-slaying Bureau.’
’Even though this group of Demon Generals all know Light Body Techniques, and I haven’t yet learned Wind-Riding Mountain Patrol, these wings aren’t just for show. In this mountain range, it will still be hard for the demons to catch me.’
"..."
It let out a sharp, mournful cry. The flesh torn open by the Formulas made it experience agonizing, heart-piercing pain for the very first time.
’I’m used to fighting many opponents at once,’ Lin Shu thought. ’It’s rare to be on the side that’s ganging up on someone.’
Not far away, a tall young woman clad in Profound Armor strode toward him.
The Qingming Demon General casually shattered the Spiritual Light and gave him a slightly odd look.
"Kill."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Whew."
’Yu Sheng has the Ten Great Demon Generals at her back. You have nothing but a cliff at yours. You think you deserve the same treatment?’
"..."
But a hint of relief also appeared in the Cyan Simurgh’s eyes.
’She knew Immortal Descendants were arrogant, but she hadn’t expected this one to be arrogant to the point of brainlessness.’
’Among them are even a few in Late-stage Core Formation, their Cultivation no weaker than my own.’
"Who is your Demon General?" Yu Duchuan swallowed nervously. The Group of Demons had specifically cornered him. ’Could it be they want to discuss something with me?’
Yu Duchuan looked back in horror. His mind had been so focused on Yu Sheng that he hadn’t noticed anyone approaching.
Thanks to his Wind-Riding Mountain Patrol Divine Technique, he hadn’t been able to resist earning an extra three hundred Sin Coins on the way over.
He slowly clenched his fists, feathers sprouting from his skin, and said coldly, "A warrior can be killed, but not disgraced!"
The Golden Bear suddenly realized something and couldn’t help but let out a derisive laugh.
As for the bodies on the ground, they were Yu Duchuan’s only two remaining Core Formation Disciples—his last hope.
’Even if he was much stronger than her, he couldn’t possibly think such a half-hearted attack would accomplish anything.’
"What did he just say?"
’Demon Generals... They’re all Demon Generals!’
But none of this captured the Immortal Descendant’s attention.
"SCREEE!"
At this thought, Yu Duchuan looked back fiercely toward the cliff. "Lin Shu, just you wait!"
"..."
Yu Duchuan froze, an incredibly familiar face reflected in his eyes.
He stared intently at that fair, handsome face, his mouth going dry and the world seeming to spin. "Lin Shu..."
’Since Yu Sheng could so easily injure and repel him, maybe this group of Demons are all just paper tigers.’
’As long as I can get back to the Yu Family...’
Yu Duchuan’s breathing grew heavy. The strange looks from the demons made his face burn with humiliation.
’Immortal Descendants have incredibly resilient life force; killing them is too time-consuming.’
The young man wore shattered, ferocious Demon Armor that revealed his toned midsection. Yet, he didn’t look disheveled in the slightest; instead, it only enhanced his casual yet menacing aura.
’Although I’ve always looked down on these Demons...’
’This Immortal Body’s Physique is even tougher than I imagined. If I can just withstand two more volleys, at most, I’ll have a chance to escape.’
’I’ll swallow my pride for now, play along, and look for an opportunity to act later.’
"Where are you looking?"
’No, I don’t even need to make it back to the Yu Family. As long as I can escape to any prefecture, that master and disciple are as good as dead!’
The enormous Cyan Simurgh beat its wings to rise, but before it could even reach the sky, it was completely engulfed by Spiritual Light.
’He was right under my nose from the very beginning.’
Instead, that group of Demons was looking behind it with curiosity.
