I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Cang Suan's golden vertical eyes revealed indifference and disdain.

A new finger appeared in the raised palm.

It was a severed finger of the Sky-Splitting Claw. After an era, it showed no signs of decay and, like a divine weapon, exuded a precious light and supreme quality.

Even a light touch of the fingertip across the air can create ripples in the void.

"Skyclaw?!"

Lin Buqun's expression changed; this had never happened before among the previous Apocalypse Hunters.

These treasures must all be taken from the Demon Court's treasury.

"Why is the Demon Court so ruthless?" Lin Buqun shouted.

Cang Suan seemed somewhat surprised to hear the question, his eyes lowered as he stared intently at Lin Buqun.

Lin Buqun braced himself and continued, "This has never happened before. Our nine sects of the human race have actively cooperated with Tianqi. You cannot exterminate us like this."

Cang Suan burst into loud laughter, filled with merciless mockery.

"You humans are truly pathetic, actually thinking that the Demon Court would spare you because of the bloodshed you've already caused."

Lin Buqun's face turned pale and then red.

"Furthermore, there's nothing the demon race can't do!"

After saying that, Cang Suan used its Void Claw to make a cross shape towards the mountain peak.

With a whoosh, as if cutting paper, the space easily split open.

Even the Purple Cloud Array based on this mountain peak could not escape it.

The heavens and earth trembled, the purple light curtain shattered inch by inch, and the entire formation collapsed in an instant!

"How is this possible?!" Lin Buqun's pupils shrank sharply, and his face turned deathly pale.

This is their only support.

The next instant, the purple glow vanished completely, the light barrier shattered, the mountain peaks trembled, and a figure was sent flying backward, spitting out blood!

Lin Buqun crashed to the ground in a disheveled state, his face filled with horror and terror.

"Wait! Wait! I'll take you there, I'll take you there!"

The ever-present threat of death shattered Lin Buqun's spirit.

"Humans are so laughable." Cang Suan slowly stepped forward, his voice low and cold.

He raised his giant palm, covering the entire sky, and slammed it down.

One by one, the Qi Sect disciples exploded into a bloody mist.

With each death, Lin Buqun's body trembled slightly.

In the end, he was the only one who survived.

His eyes were tightly closed, and his muscles were taut.

Death did not come. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Cang Suan staring at him coldly.

"Lead the way, find your Sword Sect disciple, and I'll spare your life," Cang Suan said.

Lin Buqun nodded repeatedly. He knew that doing so would be intolerable to the Taihao Sect, and in the end, he would still die.

However, he was simply not lucky enough to die at that moment.

I'll live as long as I can!

……

Shen Ming stayed alone on the mountaintop.

Torch and his companions had already formed a battle formation and gone out to ambush the demon race.

They demonstrated through their actions what it means to be the best defense is offense.

Torch and Shen Ming share the same goal: not only to survive, but also to win the final reward.

This can only be achieved by hunting down demons.

"Compared to the Taihao Sect, the Torch Sect is even more ambitious," Shen Ming couldn't help but exclaim.

The disciples of the Nine Sects don't need to fight desperately to obtain resources, unlike the independent cultivators outside who are far more driven.

"Besides, in Torch's eyes, I'm probably a spineless sect disciple too," Shen Ming said.

He held the mountain peak, and his behavior was no different.

The difference is that he intends to use the sword formation to kill the lesser demon god, which is essentially fishing for him.

However, no fish took the bait after waiting and waiting.

The Tianqi Mountains are still too vast; the demon race can't kill them all in a short time.

Finally, almost two hours after the start of the apocalypse, Shen Ming finally detected the presence of the Little Demon God nearby.

Huh?

Activating his Origin God Eye, Shen Ming noticed a familiar face beside the little demon god.

Lin Buqun of the Taihao Sect!

He led the way like a hunting dog, clutching a token tightly in his hand.

The disciples' tokens from each faction can sense each other's location, facilitating mutual support.

Judging from the current situation, it's clear that they're going to take the little demon god to cause trouble for their fellow disciples.

Shen Ming had not been to Taihao Gate yet and had not received any clothing or token.

Lin Buqun and the Little Demon God didn't come this way; they seemed to be just passing by.

"Hey! This way!"

Seeing that they were about to pass by, Shen Ming quickly stood up and shouted loudly.

Ok?

Lin Buqun and Cang Suan stopped one after the other and looked in the direction of the sound.

Because they were too far apart, Lin Buqun didn't recognize him at first.

Cang Suan glanced at the human cultivator at the Void God Realm and lost interest.

Lin Buqun finally recognized Shen Ming's figure, and for a moment, he was overwhelmed with emotion.

Especially since Shen Ming was still waving at him, didn't he see the little demon god beside him?

Cang Suan snorted coldly, telling him not to waste his time and to take him to find the Sword Sect disciple.

Lin Buqun hesitated for a long time, looked elsewhere, and pointed: "Those are the disciples of the Sword Sect."

"You humans really think you're so clever."

A cold glint appeared in Cang Suan's eyes, and he thought that Lin Buqun was making fun of him.

Lin Buqun felt a chill run down his spine and immediately shook his head, saying, "He really is a disciple of the Sword Sect. He just entered the sect, yet he made the ancient bell of the Tongtian Tower ring nine times. Wen Qingshu was looking for him just now."

"Oh? Tell me more!" Cang Suan immediately became interested upon hearing the name 'Wen Qingshu'.

Lin Buqun then explained the whole story.

"Hahaha, this is what makes you humans so endearing. Your junior brother is really naive; can't he see that?"

Cang Suan couldn't help but laugh, but at the same time felt regretful that he hadn't concealed his demonic aura.

Or perhaps they are too far away, and this human is not skilled in reconnaissance.

"Hey! Senior Brother Lin! And you little demon god with the vertical eyes next to you! Over here, over here!"

But Shen Ming was still worried that the two of them wouldn't go over, so he continued to speak.

"..."

Lin Buqun and Cang Suan looked at each other, both seeing the same question.

"Here?"

Cang Suan pointed to his temples and spun them around.

"I don't know. I'm not familiar with him, otherwise he wouldn't be alone on the mountain." Lin Buqun was also completely confused.

Cang Suan frowned deeply. He was not exactly cautious; in fact, he could be described as having a fiery temper.

But this is too abnormal, forcing him to start thinking.

"It's possible that Wen Qingshu has already found him, and they're lying in ambush here, waiting to kill you," Lin Buqun suggested.

"Ah."

Cang Suan thought for a moment, and realized that was very likely. "Isn't your token supposed to sense that there's still some distance between you and the Sword Sect disciple?"

“Disciple can turn off the token's sensing function, so that it can only sense the last location,” Lin Buqun said.

Cang Suan nodded. To be honest, that's quite a possibility.

Let's use a decoy to lure the little demon god over here.

"Perfect, these are the ones I've been looking for!"

Cang Suan realized that his target had always been the disciples of the Sword Sect, so he decided to take this opportunity to wipe them all out.

"Let's go there."
