Chapter 25

The tragic scene of the entire Great Wasteland village shocked everyone.

Ye Shen Yue finally understood why the upper echelons of the sect had instructed all disciples to show no mercy and kill all the demons they encountered from the Devil Blood Sect.

"Ha ha ha, as the leader said, the blood of this village can lure out big fish. Indeed, now the big fish has taken the bait, it's a powerful expert from a human sect. Unfortunately, each of you will become food for the Great Demon Lord!"

Suddenly, a cruel, demonic voice rang out.

"Oh no! This is a trap!"

Chu He's expression changed drastically.

But it was too late.

Rumble! Rumble...

Around the entire Great Wasteland village area, blood-colored divine light surged from the depths of the earth, forming a massive divine light array that trapped everyone inside.

"This is an array from the demonic path!"

"Trouble! Among these Devil Blood Sect demons, there is actually a legendary array master!"

The strong ones from the City Lord's Mansion all exclaimed in shock.

Now, only Chu He, Ye Shen Yue, and Ye Feng, the three powerful young geniuses, could remain calm.

"Ha ha ha, you can't escape. This time, we really caught a big fish!"

"It seems the revival of the Great Demon Lord is not far off. When that time comes, we won't have to hide in the Great Wasteland anymore; we'll ravage the entire Great Yan Dynasty!"

Accompanied by excited discussions, a dozen or so demons, dressed in black robes with black patterns all over their skin, red eyes, and sinister smiles, walked over from not far away.

Buzz!

The array emitting intense demonic light enveloped everyone.

Outside, the dozen or so demons watched the Chu He and others inside the array with a mocking gaze.

At this moment, several senior experts from the City Lord's Mansion prepared to break the array.

"Everyone, attack together! Kill these people and don't let them break out of the array!"

The leader of the dozen or so Devil Blood Sect demons, a muscular man in black armor holding a huge axe, spoke and charged into the array like a fierce beast, his momentum overwhelming.

"We will hold off these demons and buy time! Let the seniors of our City Lord's Mansion break the array!"

Chu He shouted, and he was the first to act.

"Clang!"

The Chiyang Sword in Chu He's hand was a high-grade mystic-grade battle weapon, forged from Sun Mystic Iron, with terrifying power. Combined with Chu He's inheritance, it was even more awe-inspiring.

"Great Sun Heaven-Burning Technique!"

"Heaven and Earth Fiery Sun Sword!"

Chu He roared, his body bursting with blazing golden flames, making him look like a sun war god.

He raised his battle sword, which glowed with blinding golden light, and slashed down, releasing a large swath of golden sword beams that instantly tore apart a Spirit Martial Realm demon who had just entered the array.

"Truly a peerless genius from the Sword Sect, but this is far from enough!"

The leader of the demons fiercely attacked, his massive axe heavy and imposing, like a mountain, unstoppable. The Heaven and Earth Fiery Sun Sword in front of Chu He was directly split by the axe, cracking.

"This is a demon who is about to surpass the Spirit Martial Realm and step into the Heaven Martial Realm!"

Chu He roared in anger, unable to believe that such a powerful demon would appear in the borderlands of the Great Wasteland.

Clearly, this investigation mission had suddenly taken a dramatic turn, catching everyone off guard.

"Little City Lord, just give up your resistance,

join our demon race and serve the great Demon Lord."

Suddenly, a young man walked out from the group of demons.

"It's you! You're the scout who reported to our City Lord's Mansion!"

Chu He shouted in anger, and the other experts from the City Lord's Mansion all changed their expressions.

The scout had left their group without anyone noticing and joined the demons.

At this moment, everyone saw that this person's face had grown demonic patterns, and his eyes had turned completely red, clearly assimilated by the demonic aura of the Devil Blood Sect, becoming a demon.

Indeed, this Great Wasteland village was a pre-planned trap and ambush.

"Ice Crystal Sword Rain!"

Ye Shen Yue joined the battle, and the crystal bracelet on her wrist floated in front of her.

Rustle! Rustle!

The crystal bracelet burst open, and crystal grains in the air emitted dazzling divine light, expanding into ice crystal swords that floated in front of Ye Shen Yue, emitting bone-chilling sword beams.

Chu He and Ye Shen Yue simultaneously unleashed powerful techniques, divine light blinding, sword qi surging, working together to resist the demon leader's attack.

"Resist their two main forces, and you, quickly, kill the rest!"

The demon leader's body was enveloped in intense demonic light, and he roared at the dozen or so demons behind him.

"Yes, leader!"

The dozen or so demons were all around the third or fourth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, enhanced by demonic aura, powerful and bloodthirsty.

They grinned, gripping their battle weapons—long knives, demon spears, black great swords, etc.—all surging with destructive demonic aura, charging towards the people behind Chu He and Ye Shen Yue.

"They are doomed!"

The demons all laughed wildly.

"Doomed are you."

Boom!

Accompanied by a cold shout, a sword light as cold as ice covered the entire void.

"Ah!!"

The three demons who charged in first were instantly torn into countless pieces by the sword light.

"What? Such terrifying sword qi!"

The remaining nine demons were shocked and immediately retreated.

"This sword intent... it's a Sword King! There is actually a hidden Sword King among you?!"

Even the demon leader was shocked, his voice trembling.

In everyone's field of vision, the dust cleared, revealing a white-robed youth standing in front of the senior experts of the City Lord's Mansion who were breaking the array.

He was dressed in white, his eyes shining, his appearance like jade, holding a rusty long sword, his body radiating a heart-stopping sword qi.

Although Ye Feng was only at the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm, he had reached the initial stage of Sword King, his sword path formidable, and his overall strength was not much weaker than Chu He and Ye Shen Yue.

Dealing with a group of early-stage Spirit Martial Realm demons was more than enough for him.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

While everyone was stunned, Ye Feng quickly drew his sword, severing the bodies of two more demons, blood splattering, and they died instantly.

That sword light was incredibly fast, so fast it was unbelievable. It wasn't a dazzling sword, but a sword meant for killing!

"Damn!"

The demon leader's eyes turned extremely dark when he saw this.

Ye Shen Yue's beautiful face was filled with joy. Indeed, the realm of Sword King was incredibly terrifying.

"Devil's Fury!"

Suddenly, the demon leader roared, and a boundless demonic aura erupted from his body.
