176: Were they ambushed?

"Nonsense! Do you take this Emperor for a fool? How can a human instantly kill our demon beasts across major realms?"

Seeing these demon beasts exaggerate the abilities of Ye Xiao and the four others just to save their lives.

The Netherworld Profound Tiger's expression grew even angrier, directly shattering the chair beneath him.

As long as demon beasts are in the same realm, they are fundamentally stronger than humans of the same realm.

Even if Night Owl and his companions possess special constitutions among humans, they shouldn't be able to instantly kill a Saint King while only being Saints.

Yet these demon beasts are claiming that Night Owl, a Saint, and the four others can instantly kill Saint King demon beasts across realms—they are clearly trying to fool him like he's an idiot.

"It's true, Lord Xuanhu, you must believe us."

"Lord Xuanhu, how dare we deceive you? This matter is absolutely true."

Seeing that the Netherworld Profound Tiger didn't believe them, a group of Saint Realm Shape-shifting Demon beasts began to weep and plead again.

Things had come to this point; they had no retreat. They had to stick to this lie, or they wouldn't survive the next second.

"Fine, fine. Since you all speak with one voice, This Emperor will go and see for himself. If what you say is true, I will spare you."

"But if you utter even a single lie, then prepare to end up in This Emperor's belly!!"

The Netherworld Profound Tiger coldly swept his gaze over the hundreds of Saint Realm Shape-shifting Demon Race members below, then vanished from the hall.

Since the beast tide offensive had been thwarted, it was only right that he personally investigate.

Ye Xiao and the four others had caused the beast tides in so many provinces to halt. Regardless of whether these demon race members were telling the truth, he had to go and kill them.

Otherwise, if he delayed the Lord Demon Emperor's orders, he too would face certain death.

Suzhou, Fengyun City.

At this moment, the area surrounding the city was densely covered with demon beasts.

Over a dozen demon race members, ranging from Saints to Saint Kings, were pretending to bombard the city's formation.

Meanwhile, the Netherworld Profound Tiger was hiding nearby, secretly waiting for the appearance of Ye Xiao and the four others.

This city was not far from the provinces where Ye Xiao and the four others had been killing the demon race. As long as the five continued hunting Saint Realm demon race members, they would eventually come here.

He had already ordered the demon race members bombarding the city's formation to only feign attack and not strike for real.

Otherwise, if the city was breached before Ye Xiao and the four others arrived, the wait would be for nothing.

"Huh, what exactly are these demon race members up to? Why is the intensity of their formation attacks so weak?"

"Yeah, they seem to be putting on a show. It doesn't look like they're trying to break the city at all."

Inside Fengyun City.

The Lord of Fengyun City and the city's various experts watched the Saint Realm Shape-shifting Demon beasts attacking the formation outside the city with puzzled expressions.

The attacks from these demon beasts looked aggressive, but when they struck Fengyun City's City-Protecting Formation, they caused absolutely no damage.

Such bizarre actions completely baffled them.

Soon, under their bewildered gazes.

Ye Xiao and the four others flew in from the distance, landing beside the dozen or so demon beasts attacking the formation.

"Haha, Senior Brother Ye, the haul is great this time! There are actually over a dozen Saint Realm demon race members."

"Mhm, counting them, we will have killed 123 Saint Realm demon race members."

Gu Chen and Mu Xueqing swept their gaze over the demon race members before them, smiling widely.

During this period, they had hunted down a large number of Saint Realm demon race members and, while they were at it, rescued the besieged cities.

Thus, when encountering these demon race members, they weren't overly curious; they just treated them as backup barbecue ingredients.

"Enough talking, let's get to work." Night Owl said no more, unleashing the Slaughter Mist and charging toward the four highest-cultivation Saint Realm demon race members.

"Heh heh, three Junior Sisters, let's go too." Seeing that Night Owl had started the slaughter, Gu Chen waved to Mu Xueqing and the two others, charging towards the remaining demon race members together.

"Hmph, humans, you finally arrived. This time, you are definitely going to die."

Seeing Ye Xiao and the four others charging over, the dozen or so demon race members showed mocking smiles.

Their Lord Netherworld Profound Tiger, a Quasi-Emperor Seventh Level expert, was guarding nearby. Ye Xiao and the four others would not escape today, even if they grew wings.

"Heh heh, it's impossible for us to die. The only ones dying are you."

"That's right, you should obediently become our reserve barbecue ingredients."

Although they realized that the demon race members' words carried a hidden meaning.

Gu Chen and Mu Xueqing and the two others showed no fear; instead, they continued charging towards the demon race members.

Elder Zhao Da had been following them the entire time. No matter what scheme these demon race members had, it was a joke in the face of absolute strength.

Soon, under the attacks of the four.

The dozen or so Saint Realm demon race members were beaten until blood flew everywhere, and their situation became precarious.

This scene caused the Lord of Fengyun City and others inside Fengyun City to gasp in astonishment.

"Hiss! Where did these five people come from? How are they so powerful?"

"I don't know, but judging by the way these five are acting, it looks like they're here to rescue us."

"It definitely looks like they're here to help us. We should go out and cooperate with them in a counterattack."

"City Lord, quickly open the formation! Shall we go out and eliminate the demon race?"

Several Saint Realm Experts from Fengyun City saw Gu Chen and his companions beating the dozen or so Saint Realm demon race members until they couldn't fight back.

They all requested the Lord of Fengyun City to open the formation so they could go out and counterattack the demon race outside.

After all, Ye Xiao and the four others had come alone to help Fengyun City; it would be improper for them to just watch from inside.

"Alright, let's go out together and counterattack the demon race."

The Lord of Fengyun City took out a White Round Bead, tossed it into the air above Fengyun City, and instantly retracted Fengyun City's City-Protecting Formation.

"Haha, kill! Kill all these beasts!!"

As soon as the formation was retracted.

A large number of cultivators from Fengyun City charged towards the low-level demon beasts.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Fengyun City led several Saint Realm Experts, preparing to support Gu Chen and the three others.

"Lord Xuanhu, save us!!"

Seeing that these demon race members were about to perish at the hands of Gu Chen and the others, and the Netherworld Profound Tiger still hadn't appeared.

A demon race member at the Early Saint King Stage shouted toward the sky.

As the demon race member's voice faded.

The Netherworld Profound Tiger, transformed into a thick-browed burly man, appeared smilingly above the city, emitting the terrifying aura of a Quasi-Emperor Seventh Level expert.

"Heh heh, don't be afraid. With This Emperor here, you won't die."
