292: Demon Slayer

He checked the direction.

"Sixty kilometers. That's not far."

Whoosh~

Without hesitation, Xiao Weiqing’s Spiritual Vein circulated furiously within his body, transforming him into a streak of light flying south. At full power, his speed reached the speed of sound.

It was less than 100 kilometers; he wouldn't even need five minutes.

Within a mountain range.

The red sun shone, scattering golden light across the forest.

On top of a certain high mountain.

Xie Zhiyuan was fleeing at full speed. Two Demon Venerables were pursuing him two kilometers behind.

One of them was tall, half-man and half-horse, nearly ten meters high. Every time his hooves struck, he covered a li of distance.

The Centaur Demon Venerable was entirely blood-red, wielding a Battle Axe, his Aura like a rainbow. When flying, it felt like he could smash through a mountain.

The other Demon Venerable was the Sheep Demon Venerable, whose speed was equal or superior, and whose strength was slightly better than the Centaur Demon Venerable.

"He's failing. Send a signal to get the other two Demon Venerables to come and surround him," said the Sheep Demon Venerable.

Even though the two Demon Venerables sensed that Xie Zhiyuan was at his limit, they still wouldn't underestimate him. The Human Race was the most cunning, and no one knew if this person was hiding other tricks.

If they lost one of their own, it wouldn't be worth it. These were bloody lessons learned from years of fighting the Human Race.

Therefore, the two Demon Venerables absolutely would not give Xie Zhiyuan a single chance.

"Alright!"

"Bang! Whoosh~~"

A red Signal Flare shot into the sky. From the two other directions of the mountain range, two Demon Venerables with astonishing Auras soared up.

Xie Zhiyuan dashed through the forest. Feeling two more Demon Venerables approaching, his heart sank immediately, and he thought, 'This is bad.'

"Am I going to meet my end here today?"

Since Xie Zhiyuan was heavily injured by the Fox Demon Venerable two months ago, his Mental Energy had never fully recovered. Sometimes, he even felt his consciousness blurring.

His current strength was far inferior to before. Forget dealing with four Demon Venerables; he couldn't even handle two.

"Kill!"

Just then, a furious roar sounded.

A gigantic black Battle Axe descended from the sky.

"Boom!!!"

A section of the mountain was directly sliced off.

Whoosh!!

Xie Zhiyuan barely managed to dodge, flying into the high sky to face off against the Centaur Demon Venerable and the Sheep Demon Venerable.

"Human, you've run for so many years. Today is your day of death."

The animal hide Xie Zhiyuan was wearing was already tattered, revealing his heavily scarred body. "Is that so? Then come at me!"

The Sheep Demon Venerable said unhurriedly, "Still trying to struggle?"

"We won't give you another chance this time."

Whoosh~

Whoosh~

Just then.

The two Demon Venerables arrived from behind, and four Demon Venerables surrounded Xie Zhiyuan.

"I truly didn't expect that a Human who hasn't given birth to a Divine Soul could endure my Nine Nether Soul Piercer attack for so long. Logically, your consciousness should have dissipated already."

"Blue Star Man, what is your name? I will remember you."

Xie Zhiyuan’s mouth curved upwards, "Blue Star, Great Xia, Grandpa."

"Grandpa?"

"Yep."

"You court death!"

The Blue Fox Demon Venerable’s expression darkened, and eight tails suddenly shot out from behind her.

Boom!

Boom~~ Boom~~~

Dozens of strikes lashed out instantly.

Every strike was accompanied by a powerful Mental Impact. With every Mental Impact, Xie Zhiyuan's face grew paler, and his injuries worsened.

The Blue Fox Demon Venerable was very skilled in Mental Energy attacks.

In fact, Xie Zhiyuan's Mental Energy was also strong, but since he lacked a Divine Soul, the quality of his Mental Energy couldn't compare to the Blue Fox Demon Venerable's. Xie Zhiyuan suffered losses in every invisible clash.

Rumble~~~

In just one minute, the eight fox tails, like long whips, lashed out in mid-air, resulting in over a hundred silent clashes.

"Blue Fox, stop playing around. Take him down before things get complicated."

The Sheep Demon Venerable said coldly.

The Blue Fox Demon Venerable sneered, radiating killing intent. "Die."

Her eight fox tails instantly straightened, their tips aimed at Xie Zhiyuan, and she let out a cold shout:

"Nine Nether Soul Piercer!"

Invisible Mental power suddenly erupted, like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami roaring.

In an instant, Xie Zhiyuan felt his consciousness separating from his body.

"Hah~!"

At this moment.

A Battle Axe struck from behind.

"Bang!!"

Xie Zhiyuan's entire body was bent ninety degrees from the blow to his back, and he plummeted from the sky.

The Centaur Demon Venerable looked ferocious as he swung his Giant Axe again. This time, he aimed for the neck. Even an Eighth Realm Expert with a Divine Body would die if their head was severed.

Suddenly.

"Be careful!"

The Blue Fox Demon Venerable shouted loudly.

Behind the Centaur Demon Venerable, the trembling sound of air being torn apart rang out. A blade wrapped in Golden Flames appeared out of thin air and fiercely slashed toward the Centaur Demon Venerable.

Sensing the Aura of death, the Centaur Demon Venerable retracted his Giant Axe and used it to block behind him.

"Clang!"

In the nick of time, the Giant Axe blocked the Golden Blade.

At the same time.

Whoosh!!

Whoosh~~~

The Blue Fox Demon Venerable reacted first, whipping her fox tails toward the end of the Golden Blade.

However.

The Golden Blade flashed and vanished, not engaging in a hard fight. The fleeting golden light disappeared, and the Aura became concealed.

Next.

Something that terrified the Blue Fox Demon Venerable happened: the Centaur Demon Venerable's Aura suddenly weakened and quickly vanished.

"How is that possible?"

"Run!"

Blue Fox was greatly alarmed. A Demon Venerable had been killed right under their noses, yet they didn't even know who the attacker was.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Blue Fox Demon Venerable flashed and rapidly departed, leaving only a blurry silhouette behind.

Not only the Blue Fox Demon Venerable, but the remaining two Demon Venerables also noticed.

The Sheep Demon Venerable was startled by the sudden change and said in disbelief, "Dead?"

The Centaur Demon Venerable's tall body instantly stiffened, lost control, and fell from the high sky like a statue.

"Ninth Brother!"

The other Centaur Demon Venerable cried out mournfully.

"Hurry and leave!"

The Sheep Demon Venerable grabbed the other Centaur Demon Venerable and left without looking back.

Dozens of Great Demon Kings in the distance saw all this and immediately scattered and fled.

Dead!

A Demon Venerable died just like that, without explanation.

Could it be that a Demigod-Rank Human had come to the Demon Realm?

A few minutes later.

On the ground.

A figure appeared, who was none other than Xiao Weiqing. He shook his numb arm.

"Damn it, that Centaur Demon's Divine Body is really tough."

Xiao Weiqing had just used the Silver Feather left by Kolen to mask his Aura and found an opportunity to ambush the Centaur Demon Venerable. He hadn't expected the Centaur Demon Venerable to react even under those circumstances.

Fortunately, the Seamless Slash could directly destroy the Divine Soul, successfully killing the Centaur Demon Venerable and intimidating the other three Demon Venerables.

He casually tossed out the Samadhi True Fire, igniting the Centaur Demon Venerable's corpse.

Then, he walked to the other side and pulled Xie Zhiyuan out of the deep pit.

At this moment.

Xie Zhiyuan’s body was twisted backward, several sections of his spine were broken, his Divine Body was severely damaged, he had multiple fractures, and his Internal Organs were a mess. Only the faint puffs of air from his nostrils indicated that he hadn't yet stopped breathing.

"Old Headmaster, Old Headmaster!!!"

"Can you hear me?"

Xiao Weiqing tried to communicate using Mental Energy, but he received no response.

What should he do?

Given such heavy injuries, setting aside whether he could recover, the Mental Energy that was rapidly dissipating made Xiao Weiqing feel that Xie Zhiyuan was beyond saving.

Xie Zhiyuan was an Eighth Realm Expert. Although his Divine Body wasn't extremely strong, recovery from this extent of damage wasn't impossible.

The prerequisite was that Xie Zhiyuan needed to be conscious and possess enough treasures to restore his Divine Body.

But now there was no chance at all. Xie Zhiyuan's Mental Energy was on the verge of vanishing, coupled with his fragmented Divine Body, and Pale Gold Blood flowing all over him, he was close to death.

"Wait, I know."

Suddenly, Xiao Weiqing remembered something and took out a ball of light: the primal divine light.
