The violent force of the impact made Bull Demon King nearly lose his grip on his weapon. A stifling sensation rose in his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.

  As the blood spilled from his mouth, Bull Demon King’s aura instantly weakened. His gaze turned heavy as he looked at Xu Fang, who hovered calmly in mid-air, surrounded by a swirling aura of killing intent.

  If he hadn’t used his full strength to block that strike, Xu Fang’s blade might have already knocked him unconscious. Even so, that single strike had left him severely injured.

  “Bull Demon King, no matter how many reinforcements you call today, I, Xu Fang, will kill them all. If you bring one, I’ll kill one. If you bring two, I’ll kill two. Even if you summon every demon king in Uttarakuru, even if the rivers run red with blood and the land is littered with bones, I will take your head!”

  Xu Fang pointed the Ghost-Mourning Blade at Bull Demon King, his voice resonating like a thunderous bell, echoing across the heavens and earth, reaching the ears of every demon king present.

  The demon kings who had been watching from the sidelines were instantly enraged by Xu Fang’s arrogant tone. A surge of fury erupted in their hearts, engulfing their entire beings.

  Was he saying that all the demon kings of Uttarakuru were worthless?

  “Kill one if they come, kill two if they come”—what an outrageous boast!

  “Arrogant brat of the Heavenly Court! This is Uttarakuru, not your celestial domain! How dare you speak so arrogantly, claiming you’ll slaughter all the demon kings of Uttarakuru! Who gave you the courage to act so recklessly?”

  At this moment, an elderly demon king with white hair and beard stepped forward, his voice cold as he addressed Xu Fang.

  He was the Turtle Demon King of Uttarakuru, a figure who had never heard such brazen words in all his years of cultivation. Today, Xu Fang was the first.

  “Indeed! Today, I, the Serpent Demon King, would like to test the so-called reputation of the newly appointed Demon-Slaying Divine General of the Heavenly Court. I’ve heard of your unparalleled strength and your fearsome reputation, but I find it hard to believe!”

  Another demon king stepped forward, his aura distorting the space around him, a clear sign of his immense power.

  As these two demon kings took the lead, more and more joined in, hurling threats at Xu Fang, vowing to chop him into mincemeat.

  After all, when Xu Fang had stationed himself in Uttarakuru for a century, most of them had only heard of his name but never witnessed his power firsthand.

  Behind the crowd of demon kings, Bull Demon King saw that all the demon kings had rallied to his side because of Xu Fang’s words. His confidence swelled, and he looked at Xu Fang with a狂妄 gaze.

  “Xu Fang, today you will surely die! How dare you be so arrogant, challenging all the demon kings of Uttarakuru? You’re digging your own grave!”

  Bull Demon King sneered, gripping his weapon tightly as he glared at Xu Fang, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Xu Fang was as good as dead today.

  If Xu Fang hadn’t spoken so arrogantly, he might have had a chance to survive. But now, his overconfidence had sealed his fate.

  “Hahahaha! A bunch of rabble! You think you can stand against me just because I’ve shown you a little mercy? Since you want to stop me from killing Bull Demon King, then you can all join him in death! That way, you’ll have company in the underworld!”

  Xu Fang’s voice suddenly turned icy, and the temperature around him plummeted. Some of the demons even felt a chill run down their spines.

  Around him, the terrifying killing intent howled and rejoiced, swirling wildly in the air. Black smoke enveloped Xu Fang’s figure, making him look like a Asura warrior emerging from the Blood Sea of the Underworld, a merciless executioner.

  The sky itself seemed to darken under the weight of his killing intent.

  “Such… such a terrifying aura!”

  The demon kings below felt the overwhelming pressure emanating from Xu Fang and were utterly shocked. This aura was too horrifying!

  “All of you… will die!!!”

  Xu Fang’s voice was hoarse as he roared, causing the heavens and earth to tremble slightly.

  Without hesitation, he charged into the crowd of demon kings. Today, he would use this battle to break through!

  He urgently needed strength. Only by reaching a level where he had a voice in the grand scheme of things could he take control of the chessboard and become a player, not a mere pawn.

  Kill!!!

  The demon kings below also let out furious roars, each wielding their weapons as they charged at Xu Fang. Whether they lived or died today, they would fight Xu Fang to the end!

  This was a battle for dignity!

  Clang! Clang! Clang!

  Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

  The sounds of fierce collisions and sparks flying between Xu Fang and the demon kings filled the air. Xu Fang, alone with his blade, faced the horde of demon kings.

  Beside him, Bull Demon King no longer fled. Gripping his weapon, he joined the encirclement against Xu Fang.

  At this point, given Xu Fang’s strength and level, his death was inevitable. There was no need for Bull Demon King to run anymore.

  Naturally, he would join the battle and help kill Xu Fang.

  Xu Fang wielded the Ghost-Mourning Blade, dodging the attacks of the demon kings while striking back at one of them with immense force. The demon king, whose strength was lacking, had half his arm severed by Xu Fang’s blade.

  Blood sprayed from the demon king’s severed arm, splattering onto the other demon kings and dyeing everything red.

  “Die, Xu Fang!”

  Bull Demon King swung his divine weapon fiercely at Xu Fang, who was busy fighting the other demon kings.

  At that moment, Xu Fang suddenly turned, his blood-red eyes locking onto Bull Demon King.

  “Heh, you’ve come at just the right time! I’ve been waiting for you!”

  Xu Fang’s voice was hoarse as he held the Ghost-Mourning Blade in one hand and pulled out the Immortal-Slaying Gourd with the other. The Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade emerged, its vertical eye locking onto Bull Demon King’s pupils.

  Bull Demon King, who had been charging at Xu Fang, suddenly felt dizzy and froze in mid-air.

  “Turn, my treasure!”

  Xu Fang let out a fierce shout, slashing away another demon king as the Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade flew from his hand, heading straight for the immobilized Bull Demon King.

  Thud!

  The Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade pierced through Bull Demon King’s body, sending sprays of blood into the air.

  Bull Demon King, his eyes glazed, suddenly came to his senses and clutched at the bloody hole in his neck.
