172: Kill three transformed saint-level demon beasts

"Haha, that's right, we are Demon Beasts. You lot are quite particular, wanting to know clearly even when death is imminent."

"Jie jie! You lowly humans, prepare to become food in my belly."

The three of them grinned menacingly, immediately transforming into their true forms.

"Boom! Boom!"

Three massive behemoths appeared before Ye Xiao and the four others.

One was a lizard covered in blue light.

There was also a giant bear over ten Zhang tall, and a large patterned python.

The three demons wasted no time. As soon as they revealed their true forms, they immediately charged toward Ye Xiao and the four others, intending to tear the five apart and consume them as food.

"Holy crap! What huge snake bugs and bears! Senior Brother Ye, Junior Sister Mu, hurry up and strike! I'm going to make some special barbecue for you all."

Gu Chen was startled when he saw the three instantly reveal their true forms.

However, he quickly broke into an excited smile and charged toward the lizard among the three demons.

When it came to one-on-one combat, the only one he feared was Night Owl; he didn't even put these few Demon Beasts in his eyes.

This was the first time he had ever barbecued a Saint-level Demon Beast.

"Heh heh, I want to eat roasted bear paw." Night Owl charged toward the giant bear empty-handed.

"Hmph, hmph, I want to eat roasted bear leg." Mu Xueqing pouted and rushed toward the large patterned python.

Qin Fei'er and Huyan Xiaoyao stood where they were and did not make a move.

With Gu Chen and the two others making a move, these three Demon Beasts would soon be killed; it would be redundant for them to act.

"Hmph, you lowly humans, you dare think of eating us? How overconfident!"

"Die! Let's see who eats whom!"

Hearing that Gu Chen wanted to turn them into barbecue.

And seeing them charge forward empty-handed, the three demons were utterly enraged.

Wielding their respective attacks, they fiercely smashed them toward Gu Chen and the two others.

They were the Demon Race! Gu Chen and the two others didn't even take out weapons, daring to engage them in physical combat—they were practically courting death.

"Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

Night Owl and the two others relied solely on their physical strength to engage in a power clash with the three Demon Beasts, and the immense force leveled the entire mountain peak.

Before long, the three demons were beaten until their bodies cracked and blood spurted out, collapsing onto the leveled mountain peak.

Seeing that the three demons were already defeated, Gu Chen and the two others maintained placid expressions.

They had consumed many dragon scale fruits, and although the intensity of their physical bodies was not yet completely comparable to the Dragon Race, it wasn't far off.

Dealing with these few Saint Demon Beasts was simply a crushing victory.

"No... impossible. How can your physical strength be so immense?"

"You are not human! A human body cannot be this powerful!"

The three demons spat blood from their mouths, their eyes fixed on Night Owl and the two others in the air with horror.

They were the Demon Race, after all.

The fact that Night Owl and the two others used pure physical strength to beat them into this state was truly terrifying.

"Heh heh, of course we are human. It's just that you are about to become barbecue."

Gu Chen landed beside the three demons, smiling widely.

Now that the three demons were severely injured, they had no room to resist and could only obediently be roasted as barbecue.

Night Owl and the other person were also smiling, and they all landed next to the three demons.

They carefully examined the bodies of the three demons, debating which one they should eat first.

"Humans, don't be so arrogant! Our Demon Emperor Lord is not far from here. If you kill us, the Demon Emperor Lord will not let you go."

"That's right, you had better release us, or when the Demon Emperor Lord arrives, all of you will die."

Seeing Night Owl and his companions smiling broadly while sizing up the three demons.

The three demons' hearts clenched.

They were very familiar with this kind of smile; it was the look of a predator scrutinizing its prey, the expression they wore when they were undecided about which food to consume.

So, to save their lives, they brought up the Demon Emperor who initiated the Southern Region Beast Tide.

They hoped Night Owl and his companions would be apprehensive and dare not kill them.

"There's a Demon Emperor too?"

Hearing the three demons say this.

Gu Chen and his companions' expressions became hesitant.

This time, when they came out to hunt Saint Demon Beasts, they hadn't applied to the Sect for a Dao Protector.

If there really was a Demon Emperor nearby, killing the three demons might put themselves in danger.

Just as the five were feeling apprehensive about the Demon Emperor mentioned by the three demons.

The figure of Elder Zhao Da appeared beside the five people.

"A few Direct Disciples need not worry. These three Demon Beasts are merely posturing. With This Emperor here, you won't be in any danger." Elder Zhao Da said calmly, looking at Ye Xiao and the four others.

His Divine Sense had long since finished scouting most of the Southern Region. Aside from a Quasi-Emperor Seventh Level Tiger Demon, there were absolutely no Great Emperor-level Demon Beasts in this large part of the Southern Region.

These three little demons were completely trying to scare Night Owl and his companions.

"Hiss, it's Elder Zhao!"

Seeing Elder Zhao Da appear, Ye Xiao and the four others were shocked.

They hadn't expected that Elder Zhao Da had been following them the entire time.

They were no longer the clueless youths who had just entered the Sect.

They already had a clear understanding of the Elders' power, knowing that the Elders were all legendary Great Emperor Experts.

Therefore, when Elder Zhao Da appeared, the apprehension in their hearts instantly vanished.

"We pay our respects to Elder Zhao!"

"Disciple pays respects to Elder Zhao!"

Night Owl and his companions snapped back to attention and bowed toward Elder Zhao Da.

After all, this was a Sect Elder, and they could not neglect their manners.

"Mm. This Emperor came out just to put your minds at ease. You can roast these three little demons however you like." Elder Zhao Da nodded, then vanished from the spot, disappearing into the void.

"Heh heh, with Elder Zhao protecting the Dao, what the hell do we have to be afraid of?"

"Mm-hmm, I want to eat bear paw."

After Elder Zhao Da left.

Gu Chen turned around and continued to size up the three demons with a wide smile.

"Y-you... don't act recklessly! Our Demon Emperor Lord really is nearby. If you kill us, it will find out immediately."

Seeing Elder Zhao Da, who called himself "This Emperor," show up briefly.

Night Owl and his companions looked at them again with the same expression, and the three demons were practically scared stiff.

They couldn't understand why this place, Yunzhou, which lacked Spiritual Energy, not only had five Monstrous Saints like Night Owl but now also had someone claiming the title of Emperor.

They knew that anyone who could claim the title of Emperor was at least a Quasi-Emperor level expert—a figure equivalent to a king in the Demon Beast Forest.

"Hmph, I don't care if you're real or fake, I'm going to turn you into barbecue right now."

Seeing that the three demons were facing death and still trying to scare them.

Gu Chen fiercely punched the heads of the three demons several times.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

The heads of the three demons were blasted apart by Gu Chen's power, and even their Souls were scattered. They were deader than dead.

"Senior Brother Ye, three Junior Sisters, which one do you want to eat?" After killing the three Demon Beasts, Gu Chen turned and asked The Four Night Owls.

Faced with Gu Chen's question.

Night Owl and Mu Xueqing, along with the two others, pondered for a moment and all chose the giant bear.

After all, the lizard and the snake didn't look very appetizing.

But this bear was different. Its entire body was covered in explosive muscles, and it looked quite delicious at a glance.
