The arrival of Erlang Shen cast a shadow of dread over the Bull Demon King and his companions.

  Though they were uncertain about the relationship between Xu Fang and Erlang Shen, both belonged to the Heavenly Court. With Erlang Shen's sudden appearance, the situation turned dire for the demon kings!

  Xu Fang, however, was somewhat surprised by Erlang Shen’s presence. In the years since their first encounter, when the Bull Demon King and his comrades were formidable opponents, Xu Fang’s strength had grown to an extraordinary level. Even if the six great saints were to join forces, they would pose little threat to him now.

  Erlang Shen's presence was a welcome gesture, and Xu Fang had no intention of voicing any grievances.

  “True Immortal, the Bull Demon King, the Roc Demon King, and the Serpent Demon King are my old foes. How about you leave them to me, while you take care of the Monkey King and the Lion Camel King?” Xu Fang suggested, turning to Erlang Shen.

  Erlang Shen, aware of Xu Fang's abilities, nodded slightly.

  In truth, Erlang Shen was reluctant to make this trip. Years ago, he had tested Xu Fang's strength at the feet of Master Bodhi and found it difficult for anyone of equal cultivation to subdue him. Not even the Bull Demon King and his cohorts, let alone Erlang Shen himself, could claim certain victory against Xu Fang!

  But how could he refuse his sister’s request?

  Since the deaths of their father and elder brother, Erlang Shen and Yang Chan had relied on each other. After he had split open Peach Mountain to rescue their mother, he had been played by the Jade Emperor, leaving him with only Yang Chan.

  Thus, he could not reject her plea.

  Moreover, Erlang Shen had his own motives for being here. He was fully aware of his sister’s feelings for Xu Fang, even if others might overlook them. As a proper deity of the Heavenly Court, he had little regard for its rigid rules. If his sister truly had feelings for Xu Fang, and Xu Fang was a worthy partner, Erlang Shen would not mind giving his sister to him!

  Having not interacted for several decades, Erlang Shen had come to gauge Xu Fang’s recent progress. So when Xu Fang proposed to face three demon kings, Erlang Shen made no attempt to stop him!

  However, this arrangement infuriated the Bull Demon King and his allies!

  They were kings of the demon race, feared and respected, yet here they were treated as mere stepping stones for Xu Fang and Erlang Shen. Their rage boiled over!

  “Brothers, let’s attack together! Today, we will slay this scoundrel and relieve our frustrations!”

  The Serpent Demon King roared, charging toward Xu Fang without hesitation!

  Meanwhile, the Roc Demon King, the Monkey King, and the Lion Camel King also charged at Xu Fang!

  Yet, a divine light suddenly flashed as Erlang Shen stepped forward, blocking the Serpent Demon King and the Monkey King’s path.

  “Are you deaf? Your opponents are me!”

  His voice was icy, brimming with murderous intent!

  “Hmph! What can Erlang Shen do? Today, we shall slay you, the god of justice!”

  Seeing the Bull Demon King and the Serpent Demon King teaming up against Xu Fang, the Roc Demon King didn’t rush to assist them. Instead, he joined forces with the Serpent Demon King and the Monkey King to attack Erlang Shen!

  Erlang Shen's brow furrowed, his voice cold. “You seek death!”

  Swish—

  His heavenly eye sprang open, a flash of killing intent surging forth!

  The Roc Demon King froze in place!

  A line of blood slowly unfolded from his brow!

  Boom!

  In the next instant, his split body crashed to the ground!

  “You—you killed my brother!”

  The Serpent Demon King and the Monkey King were taken aback.

  They never expected the Roc Demon King would not even get the chance to strike before being slain by Erlang Shen!

  “The power of Erlang Shen is indeed extraordinary!”

  Xu Fang, who was locked in combat with the Bull Demon King and the Serpent Demon King, was equally astonished.

  During their previous encounter, he hadn’t perceived Erlang Shen as particularly formidable, but now, with a single glance, Erlang Shen had effortlessly eliminated the Roc Demon King!

  “Very well, now you may send one of your own to assist the Bull Demon and the Mud Eel.”

  Erlang Shen stood tall, exuding an icy demeanor as he regarded the Serpent Demon King and the Monkey King.

  To him, the Bull Demon King and his cohorts were inconsequential. Had he not wanted to see Xu Fang’s growth over the years, he could have obliterated the thousands of demons before him with ease!

  “You!”

  The Serpent Demon King and the Monkey King exchanged glances but dared not make a move!

  The Bull Demon King and his allies, however, felt a chill run down their spines, realizing they had encountered their match today!

  They had always heard of Erlang Shen’s reputation but had never imagined he possessed such genuine skill!

  What was the point of continuing this fight?

  Erlang Shen clearly intended to help Xu Fang gauge his abilities. Even if the Bull Demon King managed to defeat Xu Fang, he would still fall victim to Erlang Shen!

  In that moment, the Bull Demon King and his allies began to contemplate retreat!

  “Second Brother, this battle is ill-fated. We must find a chance to withdraw!”

  The Bull Demon King said gravely. However, Xu Fang was right before them, laughing heartily, “Want to leave? It won’t be that easy! All soldiers, beat the drums and prepare for battle!”

  With the command given, strongmen within the Heavenly Army began to pound the war drums, and the heavenly soldiers rushed forward to engage the thousands of demons!

  The lesser demon kings would not sit idly by; those who could flee did so immediately, while those who could not had no choice but to raise their weapons and charge!

  In contrast, the Bull Demon King and his allies, sensing the tide turning against them, quickly regrouped!

  With a sweep of his robe, the Bull Demon King gathered several thousand demon kings, sending them hurtling down toward Xu Fang!

  “You brat, I’ll let you go today, but beware! Next time, I’ll ensure you have no place to bury your remains!”

  The Bull Demon King took a deep breath and exchanged glances with his four brothers, all of them fleeing in unison!

  Continuing this fight was pointless, and there was no need to risk their lives in a battle they could not win!

  “Hmm?”

  Erlang Shen glanced at Xu Fang, who waved his hand, signaling Erlang Shen not to pursue.

  “I appreciate the True Immortal’s assistance today; Xu Fang is deeply grateful. However, I still have use for the Bull Demon King and his allies, so there’s no need to chase them.”

  After all, Xu Fang had come down to the mortal realm with the intention of making it his permanent residence. If he were to eliminate the Bull Demon King and the others, he would have no excuse to remain in the mortal realm!

  Erlang Shen felt somewhat frustrated. He had intended to observe Xu Fang’s progress over the years, yet Xu Fang had hardly taken action, and the demon kings were already fleeing.
