Chapter 981 The Great Gentleman Arrives
"..."

The change came so suddenly that everyone who witnessed it was stunned.

The death of the bitter soup pharmacist was bizarre and mysterious, and the killer's whereabouts were nowhere to be found.

Zhou You, who was standing right next to him, was immediately in mortal danger. Anyone with a brain would know that he would be the next target.

Of the two people who maintained the operation of the Demon Transformation Cauldron, the Bitter Soup Pharmacist was dead, leaving only him, a contestant proficient in seal script.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

The numerous guards and powerful warriors felt their scalps tingle and surrounded Zhou You in the center; this kind of unseen enemy is the most terrifying.

The black rope on the ground suddenly moved, twisting and writhing like a snake, and then leaped into the air!

"Shh!"

A storm of blades engulfed the black rope, pulverizing it into dust.

Solved? Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This thing was the culprit that killed the Bitter Soup Pharmacist, but they didn't expect it to be eliminated so easily.

A giant hand descended from the sky; it was Zhou Nanwang who had made his move. "Get out of the way!"

The area covered by the palm condensed into a crystal ball, absorbing every speck of dust from the shattered black rope.

This move is a variation of the Glazed Longevity Fist, shifting from external defense to internal imprisonment.

The crystal-ball-like light shield was flawless, without a single imperfection; the interior scene could be seen through its colorless, transparent outer wall. The pitch-black dust, which had been falling silently like snowflakes,...
It piled up in a clump at the bottom of the crystal ball.

Suddenly, the pile of black dust exploded, twisting and stretching, growing longer and thicker, and frantically producing sections of 'black rope'.

Too dangerous.

It is conceivable that once these black ropes slip into the bodies of the people unprepared, all the powerful guards will follow in the footsteps of the Bitter Soup Pharmacist.

"What kind of monster is it?"

Not only Zhou Nanwang, but many of the nearby grandmasters felt their scalps tingle.

Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd, "Among the ten demons of the southeast, there was once a rat demon with strange methods and a talent for assassination, but it disappeared without a trace."

"We all thought it was dead, but we never expected it to be alive, hiding in the shadows."

“Previously, that rat demon was already in the second tier, but now…”

The answer is obvious: the great demon who carried out the assassination was that rat demon, formerly in the second tier, now... in the first tier.

The Demon Transformation Cauldron emitted Luo Yao's voice, "Inch Demon, did Elder Cang send you?"

Its response was a sudden, unexpected kick that struck the Demon Transformation Cauldron, the sound of which echoed throughout the area.

Thick smoke billowed, sound waves surged like a tide, and chaos reigned all around.

Amidst numerous horrified or astonished gazes, the towering Demon Transformation Cauldron slowly tilted and fell to one side.

"A powerful demon, definitely a top-tier demon!"

Silently infiltrating the heavily guarded inner circle and kicking over a hundred-meter-long demon-transforming cauldron, this ability surpasses even that of powerful demons like the alligator demon.

A flash of black light, and another strange event occurred.

A faint shadow stretched and twisted, taking advantage of the moment the Demon Transformation Cauldron crashed to the ground, it tumbled and grabbed the alligator demon, retreating rapidly. The speed was so fast that the pupils of onlookers from all directions only left afterimages.

Brush brush!
The three great demons, Wu Yao, Bu Yao, and Tu Yao, rushed to meet each other from different directions.

Beside Liang Yao was a short, thin middle-aged man with two long, thin beards that trembled. He was none other than Cun Yao, who was on par with Cang Yao.

Now even the top-tier demons have appeared, making the situation more severe than ever before.

The governors and prefects of several southeastern states were filled with shock and fury. The Ten Demons of the Southeast had hidden such a trump card. Imagine, in the midst of a battle between two armies, a demon suddenly appeared and launched a sneak attack...

The other party's intention in concealing their existence was definitely not to assassinate one or two governors or mountain lords.

"He is a great gentleman!"

The Lord of Lotus Bottle Mountain declared resolutely, "This demon harbors malicious intentions; it plots to assassinate the Great Gentleman!" If Zhou You hadn't used the Demon Transformation Cauldron to trap the Stove Demon, he might have killed one of the main forces of the Ten Southeast Demons, forcing the Inch Demon to reveal itself and rescue him. If it were to find an opportunity to ambush the Great Gentleman in the future…

"You idiot, you've ruined my plans!"

Cun Yao coldly rebuked, "How many times has your teacher mentioned that you are stubborn and unyielding, and you will inevitably suffer a great loss!"

"I know, I know!"

The alligator demon escaped and stretched its limbs, only to find that a small portion of its power had been refined. Feeling heartbroken, it became even more ruthless.

He said to Cun Yao, "Let's not talk about anything else today, Zhou Daqian must die."

Our target is the Demon Transformation Cauldron!

The demon reminded him.

Liang Yao said firmly, "Don't you understand? The key to the Demon Transformation Cauldron lies with Zhou Daqian. You should have killed him first, instead of destroying his alchemist!"

"The Bitter Soup Pharmacist is the leader of Juding Mountain. Without him, the pharmacists from all directions are leaderless and can't amount to anything!"

"Cun Yao did the right thing. It bravely saved you from a deadly situation. It truly deserves to be a top-tier powerhouse."

The rabbit demon defended itself, while nodding obsequiously at the inch demon.

After the five great demons met, they talked as if no one else was around, and calmly dealt with the attacks from the many grandmasters who came from all around, causing the grandmasters to be injured and forced to retreat.

The mere addition of one powerful demon completely reversed the situation, forcing the battle lines to retreat step by step.

The Demon Transformation Cauldron was closing in within ten thousand meters, about to fall into the hands of the powerful demons...

"Why didn't Cang Yao come?"

A calm voice suddenly rang out, asking the group of great demons, including Cun Yao, a question in a low voice.

The hair and body hair of the inch demon stood on end the moment he heard the voice, as if chopsticks were stuck to his body.

"A true gentleman!"

The other four great demons also looked extremely ugly.

The next moment, Cun Yao chuckled and said, "Brother Cang didn't come, but Great Gentleman, your Hun Tian Axe isn't with you either, so it's a draw!"

"Great sir, your arrival is useless. We will not rest until we destroy the Demon Transformation Cauldron!"

"No matter how many of you die, you cannot stop the advance of the Ten Demons of the Southeast!"

The demon was cunning and treacherous. It had already learned that the Hun Tian Axe was severely damaged and that the Great Gentleman had no suitable weapon. His peak strength was essentially sealed, and he could only unleash 30-40% of it in battle.

That's why they attack in droves without restraint, even when they see a great gentleman.

"Is it?"

The virtuous man calmly said, "Do you beasts think I can't kill you with my bare hands?"

"Great gentleman, you can't kill us!"

The demon sneered, "Why don't you go back first and come back when your weapon is repaired?"

"The prerequisite is that you can gather the materials needed to repair the Hun Tian Axe!"

"I forgot to tell you, my rat demon clan has banded together and gone out in all directions to destroy mines, dig up roads, and dump ore into valleys, all in order to cut off the transportation source for Huoguan Mountain."

"I'm sure you've noticed it too, but the materials being transported to the mountain are becoming increasingly scarce, making the repair of the Hun Tian Axe seem like a distant dream!"

Upon hearing this, the masters of Lotus Vase Mountain were filled with shock and anger. How could a demon know military strategy? This was too despicable.

"oh, I understand now!"

The Great Gentleman appeared before the crowd, his expression showing no anger. He glanced at the Inch Demon and said, "It seems the Azure Demon won't be coming!"
