Chapter 3

This demon, as everyone called him, did not dodge; he just floated in mid-air! With a snap, the giant snake's fangs bit directly into his throat. The iron hammer behind him also struck his back fiercely.

Boom!

The sound of the collision echoed through the sky once again.

But...

"This... 'Chaos Tyrant Body'? ! You are indeed a member of the Demon Clan!"

The Purple-robed Maiden's Snake Transformation Sword and the Gray-robed Daoist's thousand-pound hammer hit him directly, but the Black Flame Demon showed no signs of injury. Some of the more knowledgeable elders immediately recognized him and shouted in shock!

The Black Flame Demon took a deep breath and roared loudly! The black flames on his body burst out in all directions! The momentum sent the Gray-robed Daoist and the Snake Transformation Sword flying! Then, his figure moved again, clenching his fists, and he charged towards the group of "Immortals" in front.

"Damn! Demon of the Demon Kingdom! Today, even at the cost of my life, I will kill you! You must pay for all the lives your subordinates have slaughtered!"

Before the "Immortal" who spoke could rush forward, the Black Flame Demon suddenly waved his hand in the air, and a black aura directly wrapped around the "Immortal's" neck! With a twist, the black flames disappeared, and the "Immortal" fell silently from the sky, plummeting towards the peaceful town below.

"Innate Profound Demon Art? ! There's no need to doubt it anymore! Demon! You personally slaughtered 15,000 lives in the entire city of Qingning. Today is the day you will pay with your blood! Do you admit it or not?"

The Black Flame Demon turned in mid-air, lifted his foot, and struck a "Immortal" on the top of the head with a heavy blow. Another one died and fell. At the same time—

"I admit!"

"The Princess of the Sea Kingdom, Longji, was defiled by you, causing our entire nation to be filled with shame and indignation! Today, I will enforce the will of heaven!"

"I admit!"

Two more long swords attacked from both sides, and the Black Flame Demon caught them with his fingers. With a forceful effort, the black flames burned the weapons to ashes.

"The son of the Sect Master of the Profound Cultivation Sect, a highly talented young master, was ambushed and injured by you. His mental body shattered, he can no longer use mental power, cannot become an Immortal, and has become a fool! Your crimes are too numerous to count!"

"I admit too!"

The Black Flame Demon reached out and grabbed a "Immortal's" head, lifted his knee, and struck the "Immortal's" abdomen. Then, he released his hand, turned around, and with both fists, struck the "Immortal's" spine, sending him falling from the sky.

"Everyone, be careful! This demon is too strong! Damn demon... Eight Swords!"

Fang Zixing's heavy sword disappeared, replaced by eight identical translucent heavy swords that appeared in the air. These heavy swords aimed at the Black Flame Demon from eight directions. As Fang Zixing moved his fingers, the eight swords immediately formed a cage and stabbed towards the demon!

The Black Flame Demon did not intend to dodge. Seeing no way to avoid it, he decided to take the hit head-on! However, what he didn't expect was that the eight translucent heavy swords did not directly pierce his body but formed a cage, trapping him completely.

"Everyone, attack together! I can't hold this demon for long!"

Hearing Fang Zixing's shout, the remaining less than ten "Immortals" immediately rushed forward! Various Immortal techniques, divine weapons, and mental powers were all unleashed on the "demon" in a desperate attempt to kill him!

But... the gap in strength was simply too great, too great...

"Roar———!"

A loud roar caused the cage to shatter.

Fang Zixing, the Purple-robed Maiden, and the heavily injured "Immortals" were flung like rags towards the peaceful town below. Each landing spot created a huge crater as if hit by a powerful explosion. Dozens of houses were destroyed, and several streets became ruins. The ordinary townspeople cried out in despair, as if the gates of hell had opened in the now no longer peaceful town.

The dust, from rising, slowly dissipated.

Fang Zixing, holding his chest, collapsed against a broken wall.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes, filled with hatred, looked up at the Black Flame Demon descending like a grim reaper. Faced with the overwhelming strength, he felt deeply aggrieved... So aggrieved that another mouthful of blood, filled with resentment, spewed out.

"Fang Zixing, you gathered over a hundred people to chase me for ten days and ten nights, covering thousands of miles. Now, should you admit defeat?"

The Black Flame Demon's feet touched the ground.

Fierce flames still enveloped him, making it impossible to see his age.

He slowly approached the heavily injured Fang Zixing, each step leaving a scorched footprint on the rubble.

"Zixing!"

The Purple-robed Maiden rushed over from the other side, her injuries relatively light. This was thanks to her not being one of the main combatants during the ten days. Otherwise, with her weaker cultivation, she might have already been on the path to the underworld.

"Ziyi... you... you must leave... go back and tell the Master!"

Fang Zixing grabbed Ziyi's hand, urging her anxiously—

"Leave... leave! Tell the Master... the demon has appeared! You must... for the sake of the world... avenge me... and those who died in the past ten days at the hands of this demon!"

The Black Flame Demon took another step forward.

The ground where he stepped was already emitting a burnt smell.

Ziyi shook her head and cried, "If you die, Brother Zixing, what reason do I have to live on? Today, we will die together!"

Hearing Ziyi's heartfelt cry, Fang Zixing couldn't help but laugh loudly. He struggled to stretch out his hand, pulled Ziyi into his arms, and shouted at the Black Flame Demon—

"Demon! Kill us if you will! But remember, your evil deeds are too numerous to count, and your end is not far off! And I, dying with my beloved Ziyi, will have a much better afterlife than you!"

With that, Fang Zixing tightly hugged his fiancée, closed his eyes, and waited for death.

...

...

...

Death did not come.

If death had a process, this process was far too long.

After a long time, Fang Zixing and Ziyi slowly opened their eyes, wanting to see what had happened.

What they saw was the Black Flame Demon standing in front of them. But he did not strike the killing blow; instead, he seemed to be rubbing the back of his head, as if pondering something very difficult to understand.

"Hmm... I don't quite understand."

The Black Flame Demon said in a somewhat dazed manner—

"You really like this girl in purple, right? If you like her so much, why drag her to die with you? The best way wouldn't be to let her leave and beg for mercy? In the past ten days, have I ever killed someone who begged for mercy? And, girl in purple, what good does it do you to stay here and die with him? When you die, everything is over. Why not run away and wait for a chance to avenge me in the future? Right?"
