The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

The hurried footsteps of a group of demon cultivators echoed in the cave passage, like the dull sound of war drums.

Jin Xi stood tall and straight, with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.

He looked calm, without a trace of panic in his deep eyes. A faint golden spiritual energy lingered around him, and he exuded innate majesty and composure.

A moment later, dozens of demon cultivators walked out of the passage.

They have different body shapes, some are tall and strong, with muscles bulging like rocks.

Some were thin and hunched, their bodies distorted as if by the darkness.

But without exception, a strong black evil aura emanated from their bodies. That evil aura was like thick ink, constantly rolling and surging. Wherever it went, the air became extremely polluted.

The leading demon cultivator was tall, like a towering mountain.

He was wearing a loose black robe with dark red runes embroidered on it. The runes seemed alive, flickering slightly with his breathing, emitting a strange aura.

He wore a hideous bronze mask, revealing only a pair of icy eyes. His gaze was as sharp as a blade as he looked Jin Xi up and down, a hint of surprise and suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"It was you who broke in."

The voice was low and hoarse, as if coming from deep underground.

At this time, a short, sharp-nosed, monkey-faced demon cultivator jumped out of the group, his face covered with a strange smile. He grinned and said in a sinister tone, "Welcome to the Peach Blossom Valley Trial Ground!"

His voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the cave like the cry of a night owl, making people feel cold.

Jin Xi looked at the group of guys emitting black energy, frowned slightly, and touched his head.

His eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion as he asked, "You... are monsters?"

Upon hearing this, the leading demon cultivator froze up and snorted coldly.

With a hint of displeasure after being offended, he said, "What monster? We are demon cultivators!"

After saying this, he crossed his arms over his chest, and his black robe swayed slightly with his movements, emitting an even stronger evil aura.

Jin Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"There are actually demonic cultivators hiding in Lingshan Academy's trial grounds?"

His voice unconsciously rose a few notches, and his words were filled with surprise and vigilance.

Jin Xi knew very well that Lingshan Academy was a holy place for righteous cultivation, but now he saw a demonic cultivator here, which made the doubts in his heart grow like a snowball.

The leading demon cultivator sneered, his eyes revealing a hint of complacency and madness.

"We all came from Lingshan Academy to enter Taohua Valley to participate in the trial.

Then, I didn’t want to go back.

Humph, actually, being a demon cultivator is much more free and easy than being an immortal.

Boy, do you want to join us?"

After saying that, he raised his head slightly, with a bewitching light flashing in his eyes, as if he was sure that Jin Xi would be moved by his words.

Jin Xi frowned, and a strong anger surged in his heart.

He clenched his fists, and the golden spiritual energy around him became more and more dazzling, like a blazing flame, dispelling some of the dark evil energy around him.

"You traitors! For your own selfish desires, you've betrayed the righteous path and even tried to drag me down with you.

Today, I will bring you scum to justice and make you pay for your evil deeds."

Jin Xi's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the cave, full of unquestionable momentum.

"Just you?"

The leading demon cultivator let out a mocking laugh, which echoed in the cave, causing the surrounding demon cultivators to join in the laughter.

"Boy, you are overestimating yourself.

Today, you can’t escape even if you have wings.”

He waved his hand, and the demon cultivators behind him instantly dispersed and surrounded Jin Xi.

The demon cultivators condensed black demonic flames in their hands. The demonic flames danced and emitted a suffocating stench.

The surrounding air was distorted beyond recognition, and the entire cave seemed to have fallen into hell in an instant.

Jin Xi was not afraid at all. He muttered something to himself, and the golden spiritual power around him surged like a surging tide, forming a solid shield to keep the black demonic flames out.

A long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand, emitting golden sword energy, and rushed towards the demon cultivators.

The sword blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and every swing brought up a sharp sword energy. Wherever it went, the demon cultivators retreated with looks of horror on their faces.

The sword energy was like golden lightning, shining brightly in the darkness, as if to completely illuminate this evil cave.

Seeing this, the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced demon cultivator muttered something and quickly formed seals with his hands.

The ground in front of him suddenly cracked, and several thick black vines broke out of the ground. The vines were covered with sharp thorns, like ferocious poisonous snakes, and they coiled towards Jin Xi.

Jin Xi's figure flashed like a golden lightning, and he avoided the attack of the vines at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, he swung his sword, and the sharp sword energy instantly cut off several vines.

The severed vines fell to the ground, twisted a few times, and turned into a pool of black mucus, emitting a pungent smell, as if telling the evil and unwillingness of the demon cultivators.

The leading demon cultivator took advantage of the moment when Jin Xi was entangled with the vines, and condensed a huge black magic ball with his hands. The magic ball contained a powerful dark power, as if it could devour all light.

He shouted loudly and threw the magic ball towards Jin Xi.

Jin Xi felt the powerful force of the magic ball and did not dare to take it head-on.

He tapped his feet lightly and jumped high, while raising the sword above his head. The sword shone brightly, and a golden sword energy shot out from the sword, colliding with the black magic ball in the air.

With a loud "bang", the powerful impact force knocked the surrounding demon cultivators to the ground, and cracks appeared on the ground in the cave, with gravel flying everywhere.

The loud noise seemed like the roar between heaven and earth, ready to completely shatter this dark sin.

As the battle progressed, Jin Xi discovered that although these demon cultivators were numerous, they did not cooperate well and fought independently.

He had an idea in mind and decided to take advantage of this and defeat them one by one.

Jin Xi used the "Phantom Step" and his figure instantly became illusory, moving quickly among the group of demon cultivators.

The demon cultivators were dazzled by his figure and their attacks missed.

Jin Xi took the opportunity to swing his sword and launch a fatal attack on the demon cultivators.

Every attack carries his persistence in justice and anger towards evil.

His eyes were as firm as iron, as if declaring to these demon cultivators: Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

As the battle continued, fear began to show in the eyes of the demon cultivators.

The leading demon cultivator was furious upon seeing this. He took off his bronze mask, revealing a hideous face covered with twisted scars, which looked particularly terrifying.

"Boy, you will die today!"

He roared angrily, and the dark power around him surged crazily, forming a huge black vortex that enveloped the surrounding demon cultivators and Jin Xi...

This vortex seemed like a dark abyss that was about to swallow everything, but Jin Xi's eyes were firm and he did not retreat, ready to face this more severe challenge.
