Demon King? A Human Sword Immortal Appears!

Inside the teahouse, when Gu Lan heard these words, his eyes flashed with a chill as he gradually fell into contemplation.

Thinking about silencing me?

Heh, who do you think you are, the protagonist?

Gu Lan calmly sipped his tea, his thoughts spinning in his mind.

"It seems like today, there’s no way I can avoid it. But... what if I don't?"

Heavenly Sword Sect persecuted loyal subjects, colluding with demons to slaughter the people!

Influenced by the ideals of the original host who served the country, Gu Lan spoke with some anger.

Moreover, Duan Xiao's attitude was so disgusting. A minor antagonist who couldn't even qualify as a small fry, should I just kill him?

Gu Lan thought, the Female Emperor inexplicably confiscated Cai Yu's assets and put them into the national treasury last time, intercepting a big wave of resources from the protagonist!

Afterward, the world's story didn't undergo much change...

Gu Lan wouldn't engage in adventures or act pretentious, but this kind of amazing bargain was almost certain... why should he leave them for the protagonist?

Besides, to be honest, Gu Lan was quite tempted by that phoenix egg!

…

At this moment, Duan Xiao, confident and arrogant, stared at Wu Feng.

"Kid, I know you have an engraved stone. Destroy it now, and I might let you choose a painless death!"

The engraved stone was a peculiar item in this world.

It had video recording capabilities and could store footage for a long time.

However, opening the footage or destroying its content required the soul power of the recorder. Others couldn't do anything unless their cultivation reached the immortal realm.

To prevent the engraved stone from falling into the Female Emperor's hands after Wu Feng's death, Duan Xiao had to use more words.

"Hehe, dream on!" Wu Feng's eyes gradually turned bloodshot, filled with a sense of tragedy.

"If you want to kill me, come on! Even if I die, the footage in that stone will forever reveal the dirty deeds you've done. It will be exposed to the world sooner or later!"

Roaring out his grievances, Wu Feng didn't retreat but instead advanced, raising his knife against Duan Xiao.

At the same time, he shouted to the surrounding crowd, "I'll hold them back. Quickly escape! Make sure to spread the word about today and let the capital know!"

Swish! Before his words could fully resonate, the swords of several death warriors had already cut through Wu Feng, causing blood to stain the streets.

The surrounding commoners, awakened to the danger, with red eyes, began to flee into the alleys.

"Heavenly Sword Sect colludes with demons, deserving to die!"

"Quick, go! Don't let Young Warrior Wu die in vain!"

"Escape quickly!"

"..."

However, at this moment, a demonic claw appeared in the void, directly covering an area for several miles, and blocking the escape route for the commoners.

Amidst the terrified crowd, a sinister figure appeared out of thin air.

"Fox Lord, you came in person!" Duan Xiao, seeing him, was overjoyed. Obviously, this was the Demon King that the Heavenly Sword Sect colluding with .

"Your father was worried, so I've been secretly following you," the Demon King said, waving his hand dismissively.

"A long delay may cause trouble. I don't feel like letting you suffer. I'll just kill these two-legged sheep for you!"

In the eyes of demons, humans were no different from livestock.

Facing the arrival of the Demon King, Wu Feng had no more thoughts of struggling.

He knew the strength of the Demon King well. Slowly closing his eyes, he hoped that one day the footage he had desperately preserved in the engraved stone would be opened by the Female Emperor.

The despair of the remaining commoners was palpable.

Although they had not seen the demon cultivator, but the light of this bloodthirsty terrible breath, they knew surviving was slim!

At this moment, the Demon King extended a sharp claw through the void, aiming for Wu Feng. Countless demonic spirits, like black mist, surged out from his body, rushing towards the surrounding commoners.

Half of Langzhou City was immediately shrouded in a demonic cloud, cries echoing everywhere.

Then, a dazzling sword light pierced through the clouds, suddenly appearing from the sky!

As it touched the demonic spirits, they instantly dissipated and turned into nothingness.

"Hmm! Someone powerful has made a move? Faster than me..." Gu Lan, who was leisurely sitting in the teahouse, raised his eyebrows, closely observing the sword light.

"Being able to conceal their presence for so long without being detected by me, suddenly making a move without revealing their aura... this person's cultivation should be comparable to mine."

"But at least Langzhou City should be safe now. It saves me the trouble!" Gu Lan enjoyed the spectacle, observing the scene outside.

At this moment, the Demon King seemed to sense something and looked up. When he saw the sword light, his face suddenly changed.

"Golden Sword Qi! A human sword immortal!" He hastily withdrew his hand and hurriedly defended in front of his chest.

However, the gap between a king-level demon and a sword immortal was insurmountable. The golden Sword Qi didn't hesitate for even a second, directly piercing through the Demon King's chest, leaving a large bloody hole.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Wu Feng hadn't even reacted when he was suddenly saved, giving him an unreal feeling.

Duan Xiao had just seen the sword light, and the Demon King on his side was already emitting painful grunts.

"A sword immortal... how is this possible? In a small city like Langzhou, how could there be a sword immortal!"

Duan Xiao was both shocked and furious!

The difference between a human sword immortal and the demons he encountered was like heaven and earth.

The Demon King, enduring the destruction of his body by the Sword Qi, gradually descended. His human form couldn't be maintained any longer, and a blood-stained fox appeared in front of everyone.

The fox crouched on the ground, completely devoid of the fierce aura it had moments ago, and began to plead in a low voice.

"Sword Immortal senior, I didn't mean to offend you. Everything today was instigated by the Heavenly Sword Sect. If you're willing, I can leave now... and maybe help you get rid of them!"

This fox is quite understandably, and it wants to bargain!

Duan Xiao was dumbfounded.

"Fox Lord... what are you saying!"

"Shut up! If it weren't for you, would I have encountered a sword immortal?"

The Demon King, in a sorry state, spat out a black bead. In an instant, a demonic spirit flew out, devouring the young master of Heavenly Sword Sect and leaving behind nothing but bones.

The onlookers, including the commoners and Wu Feng, were all stunned.

The intimidation of a sword immortal was terrifying. It directly forced the Demon King to betray his companion.

Gu Lan was delighted to see this unexpected turn of events. He hadn't expected the sword immortal to bring such a show.

Dog-eat-dog, joyful!

"Let's see if this sword immortal will show up. If I could know their name, perhaps the original work mentioned them..."

Gu Lan continued to wait, but the mysterious sword immortal outside had yet to reveal themselves.

Naturally, the sword immortal was the Female Emperor, Mu Yuyan.

If she didn't witness it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the demons would be so audacious, invading the territory of Langzhou and massacring the people of Jing.

Mu Yuyan's expression was extremely cold. She pinched her sword art, and three golden Sword Qi condensed again.

The brilliance was even more dazzling than before, indicating that she didn't intend to let the Demon King off.

The Demon King, realizing the impending danger, repeatedly cried out, "You can't kill me! I'm a apprentice of the Holy Demon Palace. If you dare to kill me... the seniors of the Palace will pursue you endlessly!"

Hearing this, the Female Emperor chuckled lightly. How could she have not anticipated the relationship between Great Jing, the Holy Demon Palace, and even the entire demon realm before she took the action? And that was also why she didn’t reveal her identity beside being the Sword Immortal.

Without any evidence, who in the demon realm dared to directly blame her?

Sword in hand!

The golden brilliance dazzled!

Faced with a life-or-death situation, the Demon King chose to fight to the death. He spat out a black bead, colliding with the Sword Qi.

In the next moment, the Sword Qi vanished, but the bead indeed managed to block the Sword Immortal's three strikes!

Gu Lan's eyes lit up. "Unexpected! A king-level demon can use this to block a Sword Immortal's attack... What kind of treasure is this?"

Meanwhile, the Demon King, using the bead as a cover, took the opportunity to burn his essence blood and escape towards the sky.
