Chapter 485: Infernal Energy
Just as everyone was following the order of the black-armored demon, someone"s gaze fell on Ye Xiao.
"Wait!"
It was a female demonic cultivator called Cui Ting, who was still fighting beside the palanquin. She suddenly glanced at Ye Xiao"s back and frowned.
"The person at the front, turn around." Cui Ting instructed.
Ye Xiao turned his head and looked at Cui Ting. He had never met this woman before but he could tell that she was a demonic cultivator at the Late Stage of Immortal King Realm.
"What? You know him?" It was at this moment when a black-armored demon beside Cui Ting asked.
Cui Ting shook her head and replied with a disappointed face, "No, he is just a little similar to an old friend of mine."
The black-armored demon smiled. "Oh! So, that"s how it is!"
Seeing that Cui Ting was not familiar with Ye Xiao and he just looked like someone she had known in the past, the black-armored demon suddenly pointed his whip at Ye Xiao and said, "You, go to the front!"
Some of the demon presents had a knowing smile on their faces. They knew that this black-armored demon was chasing after Cui Ting for a few years now.
Although this guy was just like an old friend to Cui Ting, with his temper, the black-armored demon would naturally not let Ye Xiao live.
As for the other scouts, they had expressions of schadenfreude.
In this forbidden area, every step he took could cost him his life. The further they walked, the more dangerous it became.
"Let"s go, don"t waste time. Let these people take the lead!" A gloomy voice came from the sedan chair.
"Yes sir!"
There were thousands of demons from the Blood Demon Sect were present here and they majestically headed towards the depths of the forbidden ground.
"What a terrifying infernal energy. I only absorbed a tiny bit but I felt as if my small world is about to be torn apart."
"As expected of the forbidden ground. If it continued to be like this here, won"t it mean that my cultivation level will never improve?"
The group of demons and demonic cultivators continuously sighed with bitter expressions. If not because of the high reward and the position of a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, they would have fled in all directions long ago.
Along the way, Ye Xiao remained silent. Although the killing intent and infernal energy around here was dense, Ye Xiao could still feel it being absorbed into his body.
Ye Xiao"s expression showed a trace of uncertainty.
What was going on?
Ye Xiao actually felt a sense of familiarity from the baleful aura that was carved into his bones.
After thinking for a while, it made sense. Since he had already become one with the World Exterminating Demon Dragon, how can this infernal energy cause any harm to him? Instead, they were beneficial for his cultivation now.
"Enemy attack!" Suddenly, a piercing scream sounded, causing everyone to turn to look at the source of the scream.
However, in the time it took for a spark to fly off of a piece of flint, the demons took a step forward and the seemingly endless Armor Piercing Arrows pierced through their bodies.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
One after another, those demons were killed in midair.
The remaining survivors were still in shock as they rushed towards the direction of the great army of demons. But how could their speed match the speed of these arrows?
Ye Xiao"s eyes focused as he immediately used the Spirit Devour Escape and shuttled back and forth. He dodged every single arrow, coming out from the rain of arrows.
"People of the South Demon Alliance, you have crossed our bottom line this time!"
A m.u.f.fled sound came. Amidst this sound, there were actually powerful sound waves that shook the surrounding s.p.a.ce and sent the arrows flying.
"Hehe, we were only forced to act when we saw a sneaky person flying over." From afar, another group of demons appeared.
This group of demons was actually all wearing green armor and riding demonic beasts. They waved their flags as they aggressively approached. On the backs of these demons, there were actually heavy crossbows on their backs. The sharp arrows glowed with demonic energy.
The leading green-armored general rushed to the front and looked at the people of Blood Demon Sect with a cold smile.
"Are these all the Demons from the South Demon Alliance?"
"The equipment of the demons of South Demon Alliance are too powerful. The crossbows in their hands are at least High Grade Immortal Rank weapon."
The surviving demons and demonic cultivators still had a panicked expressions.
Just at this time, another group of Blood Demon Sect"s army rushed over. This army from the Blood Demon Sect was even more numerous. There were over ten thousand demons present in this army. There was even an enormous flag floating in the middle of the army.
"There are also Late Stage Ancient Demon Realm demons!"
"A total of seven Demon Generals have come and there is such an army. Could it be that they want to start a war with the people of the South Demon Alliance?"
Everyone was discussing and no one noticed Ye Xiao"s existence. Ye Xiao hid in a corner and quietly sat cross-legged. Seeing that the infernal energy here was beneficial for his cultivation, Ye Xiao immediately started cultivating.
After a while, Ye Xiao"s body suddenly trembled and a faint black light surfaced from the surface of his body.
His physical body became even stronger.
"Kid, I didn"t expect you to still be alive!" Just at this moment, a rough voice sounded. Standing in front of Ye Xiao was the Black-clothed Demon who had brought him here.
Seeing that Ye Xiao was cultivating, a sinister smile suddenly flashed across his face.
"You"re still intending to cultivate in this kind of environment? Looks like you are not afraid of death. Since that"s the case, die!" The black-clothed demon suddenly flashed past his fingertips and pierced towards Ye Xiao.
Just as his fingers were about to touch Ye Xiao, a whip suddenly lashed onto the black-clothed demon"s body. The black-clothed demon was unable to dodge in time and directly retreated.
"What are you going to do?"
It was actually Cui Ting. Unknowingly, she had already appeared by Ye Xiao"s side. She was still holding onto a whip as she looked at the Black-clothed demon with a dark expression.
The black-clothed demon was shocked when he saw her. He didn"t know when she appeared here. He gritted his teeth and said, "When this subordinate saw him having a difficulty in his cultivation, I intend to give him a helping hand!"
"I know what you"re thinking. It"s best if you don"t do anything that you regret. I don"t care if both of you have a grudge but right now, every single person is important to our Blood Demon Sect"s army in the Forbidden Land. Remember not to cause trouble." Cui Ting said in a serious tone.
She didn"t know that this Black-clothed Demon was directed by Dong Xuan to kill Ye Xiao. She just unintentionally saved Ye Xiao.
Seeing that this black-clothed demon was still not satisfied, Cui Ting shouted coldly, "Get lost already!"
With a cold snort, the demon turned around and left.
Cui Ting shook her head and turned to look at Ye Xiao. At this moment, Ye Xiao"s entire body was surrounded by infernal energy. His body was continuously becoming stronger and stronger.
Ye Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Cui Ting, and said: "Many thanks."
Cui Ting shook her head and said coldly, "It"s nothing but cultivating here at this time is simply courting death. Are you looking to die?"
Cui Ting pointed at the black-clothed demon in the distance and said again, "That demon wants to take your life. I can protect you once but I can"t keep protecting you forever."
"Don"t worry, he will soon regret it." Ye Xiao said indifferently.
Cui Ting snorted coldly, disagreeing with Ye Xiao. No matter how one put it, the black-clothed demon was Already Late Stage Demon King Realm demon. How could Ye Xiao, a mere Middle Stage Demon King be a match for that demon?
"You don"t have to try to be brave. I can tell the general to let you be my coachman. That way, you"ll be in less danger." Cui Ting arrogantly raised his head. She wanted to help Ye Xiao because he looked similar to one of her old friends.
Ye Xiao still shook his head and replied, "There is no need."
"Stubborn and unrepentant!" Cui Ting snorted coldly, turned, and left. Since this brat wants to die, then let him die!
"Everyone, enter the valley immediately! No delay is allowed!" It was at this time that a loud voice resounded.
In the distant sky, a few magnificent voices gradually dissipated as if the battle had already reached an agreement.
