Chapter 959 The Azure Demon Makes a Move, the Giant Demon Retreats

"You monster, you're asking for death!"

Zhou Nanwang's tone was filled with rage. Looking around, he saw a scene of utter devastation, indicating that the area had already suffered heavy losses even before he had taken office.

He was given a rude awakening by the demon race right from the start, and if he didn't retaliate in time, he was destined to become a laughing stock as the governor.

Although the dragon demon had devoured thousands of people and bit off half of Zhou Mukong's body, it was slapped by Zhou Nanwang, causing its upper and lower jaws to collide violently, making its head buzz.

When the Earth God is enraged, it is no ordinary matter.

"An endless cycle of calamities over the land!"

Zhou Nan looked up and pointed, his movements seemingly effortless, yet his fingertips held terrifying power within their small space.

In an instant, the space where the demon was located was divided, enveloped, and isolated, becoming two separate worlds from the people present.

Zhou You and the others can observe from a distance how the dragon demon deals with Zhou Nanwang's killing move!
"You want to kill me? Dream on!"

When the demon was cornered, it immediately revealed its true colors, howling and jumping up and down on the spot.

Its thick tuft of hair on its forehead parted like ocean waves, its skin and flesh pierced, and suddenly a single horn, like a tree branch, grew out.

A dog with horns growing from its head, attempting to transform into a dragon, is a demon!

The seemingly dragon horn on the forehead of the demon is actually his greatest trump card, his natal demon crown!

This shows that under Zhou Nanwang's coercion, he had no choice but to fight desperately.

Zhou Nanwang pointed and placed his finger down, as if he were placing a piece in the void, using the world as a chessboard. His eyes were calm, without focusing on any particular object, yet he took in all directions.

The demon blocking his way was nothing more than a speck of dust in his eyes, which he could blow away with a breath.

Boom!
The fingertip collided with the horn on the demon's forehead, and a point of light exploded violently, expanding into a cone-shaped beam of light.

The dragon demon was slammed into the depths of the earth, causing the earth's crust to shift and mountains to collapse.

Zhou Nanwang paused in mid-air with his fingertip, then continued to poke at the ground where the demon had disappeared, intending to beat the fallen dog to a pulp and crush it into dust.

Who would have thought that the demon blocking the way was no match for Zhou Nanwang?
The demon was overconfident. It believed that great demons had the advantage of their race and that they could rival the Earth Sect at the Human Sect level. Even if it couldn't kill Zhou Nanwang, it could still escape unscathed from a massive army.

However, it overlooked one thing...

Although Zhou Nanwang is a newcomer to the Earth Sect, his strength is comparable to that of many established Earth Sect members, which is far beyond what one would expect from a newcomer.

If one is defeated in one move, there is no chance of a comeback, and one will face the fate of defeat and death.

The demon was so frightened that it roared in a heart-wrenching rage, causing chaos underground.

Hundreds or even thousands of meters of thick earth's crust were ripped off like a tattered quilt.

The canine demon's eyes were bloodshot, and its single horn, like a blood-red spear, gleamed with a cold metallic light as it thrust towards Zhou Nanwang's wrist. It was cunning and agile; even when it attacked at full speed in its rage, it could evade fatal blows and strike directly at its weakest point.

In response, Zhou Nanwang uttered a single word: "Take it!"

With a flick of his two fingers, as if kneading and lifting, he grabbed the demon's single horn.

In an instant, the demon was lifted up and airborne as if it were a chick.

"Stop!"

An aged voice echoed from the void, and the demon dragon perked up upon hearing it, "Lord Cang!"

The phrase "only the voice was heard, but the person was not seen" was used to describe a situation where the sound of the voice had not yet dissipated before it transformed into a sharp blade falling down.

Using sound to create form, from nothing to something?
This move was too bizarre, and the blade wasn't fake; it truly possessed the destructive power to pierce the body. Zhou Nanwang quickly withdrew his hand to avoid the blade's thrust, and in order to increase his speed, he had no choice but to release the dragon demon.

However, having already launched his "robbery operation," there was no reason for him to leave empty-handed; he still managed to snatch a large sum of money at the last moment.

The demon let out a heart-wrenching howl, its pain evident in its words. A large, clear ball of light was forcibly pulled from its single horn and carried away by Zhou Nanwang with his fingers.

That ball of light carried no trace of demonic energy; it was the purest essence.

In the blink of an eye, the ball of light landed on Zhou Nanwang's chest and abdomen, silently seeping into the wound and penetrating his body like spring rain.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Nanwang's bitten-off chest and abdominal organs grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Because it received the vast essence from the dragon demon, this growth and healing was not just a superficial repair, but also a complete replenishment of the lost flesh and essence, restoring it to its full potential.

Looking at the dragon demon, although it was spared from being captured alive by Zhou Nanwang, it lost a lot of its essence and became listless and its fur droopy.

Although the Azure Lord came to its rescue, it still suffered a great loss and its whereabouts remain unknown.

"Cang Yao, since you're so eager to intimidate me, why don't you come out in person? Sending a dog only makes you a laughingstock!"

Zhou Nanwang spoke towards the direction from which the voice came from, saying, "Lord Cang."

The dragon demon, whose ears had been drooping, spoke up in defense, "Lord Cang didn't come; he rescued us from afar!"

The "Azure Demon" and "Azure Lord" they mentioned are the same entity, Azure Demon, a top-tier powerhouse among the Ten Demons of the Southeast.

Cang Yao is the object of Long Yao's loyalty, and is also a legendary being born with dragon blood, whose strength is comparable to that of a Di Zong.

Just by watching him make his move just now, using telepathy to transform into a sharp blade, which stopped Zhou Nanwang from killing him, one can tell that the Cang Lord's strength is extraordinary and far superior to that of the Mang Demon.

"He can save you once or twice, but can he save you every time?"

Zhou Nanwang said coldly, "I am determined to kill you today, so what can Cang Yao do about it?"

With that, he flipped his palm and swept it, and the numerous hills and mountains on the horizon rolled into a line, surging in like a tide, about to engulf the dragon demon, subjecting it to the grinding of billions of stones and earth.

"Cough cough, you dragon demon, hurry up and leave!"

The demon sent another message, which transformed into a giant foot that descended from the sky and stomped on the vast earth.

Thousands of hills and mountains were flattened by a single footstep, leaving a huge footprint on the vast land, resembling a meteorite crater.

Taking advantage of the moment when the scene was cleared, the demon turned and ran, disappearing from sight with incredible speed.

After it completely disappeared, the Azure Demon remained silent, and not a single word came from it.

After a long silence, Zhou Nanwang's voice rang out, "Take stock of the losses, and continue our journey in half a day to Lihuo Prefecture!"

Zhou You could tell from his tone that although Zhou Nanwang had driven away the demon, he was somewhat downcast.

It was only later that we learned that the main force of the Ten Demons of the Southeast had been in a standoff with the Great Gentleman.

Including the Azure Lord, the powerful demons in the first and second tiers were basically restrained by the Great Lord and unable to escape.

That's why the lowly dragon demon came to block the way. But even so, the Azure Demon managed to send two messages, which made it impossible for Zhou Nanwang to kill the dragon demon despite his best efforts. He could only watch it escape.

The severity of the demonic threat was so great that even though we overestimated it before we arrived, we still underestimated it once we got there.

The only saving grace was that the demon failed to block the road, and no other demons came to cause trouble.

Zhou Nanwang's team entered Li Huo Prefecture without any obstacles, completed the handover of office, and officially became the governor of Li Huo Prefecture.

The various prefectures, sects, and aristocratic families within the state were all mobilized upon hearing the news, and one after another, important figures arrived!
