Ye Yu imdiately sheltered Niu Erhua behind him.
In the Manniu Clan’s current state of near-total combat impotence, the sudden arrival of several powerful auras could an only ill intent.
Sure enough, four Demon King–realm experts descended at the east, south, west, and north positions, completely surrounding them.
To Ye Yu’s surprise, one of them was the black-robed demon he’d t earlier at the Sacred Hall’s gate.
What’s going on? How did they find us here?
Seeing these unfamiliar demons, Niu Li and the others tried to struggle upright, forcing themselves to crawl toward Niu Erhua despite their pain. Even in such a condition, their only thought was to protect their chieftain!
She Deng—Snake-Eye—spoke first: “Demon friend, we et again! Aren’t you surprised? Aren’t you delighted?”
Ye Yu glanced around as he replied, “And what is it you ca here to do?”
He noted that, besides the black-robed demon, the other three were a tiger demon and two elephant demons. Their demonic qi flowed rapidly—clearly ready to strike at any mont.
Ye Yu still couldn’t fathom why so many Demon King–realm experts had gathered here. Were they specifically targeting the Manniu Clan?
She Deng chuckled softly. “Actually, our goals align—we all ca for Nangong Jingtang. Did you know? A few days ago, our Sacred Hall already pinpointed her location. Otherwise, how could I so easily claim she’s here in the Manniu Clan?”
The elephant demon Man Shan, standing to the north, frowned. “She Deng, enough idle chatter. We haven’t ti for your reunions. I’ve sensed Nangong Jingtang’s aura; she must be inside this hall. I’ll take my n in— the rest of you clear this area. Leave no survivors!”
She Deng bristled. “And who appointed you commander here? One more word and I’ll kill you right now!”
Man Shan «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» sneered, “If you’ve the guts, try —you’ll see who dies first!”
The tiger demon Wu Xing and the elephant demon Zhen Yue imdiately intervened. “Enough! Save your quarrels for later. Focus on killing these clan demons and retrieving Nangong Jingtang—that’s our priority!”
Hearing their orders, Ye Yu arched an eyebrow and said coldly, “Oh? So from the start you intended to attack Nangong Jingtang?”
She Deng transmitted by mind-sound: “Yes and no. I also planned to kill you while I was at it! But, out of respect for that sword-tail centipede’s debt, I’ll spare you—hand over the treasure you carry, and I’ll let you live.”
Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh. I thought these Sacred Hall demons would be different— turns out they’re just as greedy.
anwhile, the bull demons of the Manniu Clan sensed danger and ford a protective ring around Niu Erhua. Indeed, their innate physical resilience was extraordinary. After a brief rest, their wounds had already stopped bleeding and begun to heal, restoring their mobility—though Niu Li was still too injured to stand without effort.
Staying here will only be a liability, Ye Yu thought. A single impact from the coming battle could kill the severely wounded.
He glanced back and quietly said, “Recover quickly and protect your chieftain!”
Before they could ask what he ant, a giant teleportation array suddenly appeared beneath their feet. In the next mont, Niu Erhua and the bull demons were whisked away!
She Deng and Man Shan stared in disbelief. “Well, well—an array master among the bulls. Even I felt no demonic qi fluctuations when it opened. Impressive. But you think that’ll save them alive? Zhen Yue, finish them all!”
Zhen Yue, sharing Man Shan’s orders, made to rush forward—but a golden array barrier shot up, blocking every path.
He glared at Ye Yu. “Kid, are you so eager to die? Or perhaps you wish to send us off first?”
Before Ye Yu could reply, he ford hand seals in rapid succession. A myriad of formations sprang into being, trapping all four Demon King–realm foes and striking first!
His plan was simple: strike the first blow. Though he’d already sent Niu Erhua to safety, Nangong Jingtang and Yue Wanqiu remained in the hall behind him.
In truth, at his mid–Demon Lord realm strength, Ye Yu could have teleported the entire hall away without difficulty—but Yue Wanqiu had specifically warned him not to be disturbed inside, lest serious complications arise.
Thus, Ye Yu had no choice but to face four Demon King–realm opponents alone. Despite the overwhelming odds, failure was not an option.
The Sacred Hall demons were no pushovers. Man Shan, She Deng, and the others shattered the formation barriers at top speed and charged.
Just a Demon Lord–realm ram dare attack us? Preposterous!
They intended to demonstrate true power—yet, facing four Demon King–realm adversaries, Ye Yu made no rash assumption. He stepped forward, his form swelling into a ten-thousand–zhang Dharma manifestation.
He unleashed the Heavenly Demon World Annihilation Art at once! A single palm blew Man Shan and Zhen Yue flying, then he brandished the Supre Mandate Talisman, channeling blazing sunpower to drive back Wu Xing!
Seizing She Deng from behind, he began to puml her rcilessly.
