Even hybrid monsters have their day

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan leaped into the fray.

The sudden appearance of Geng Miaowan startled the humans, especially after they saw Xu Ruwen. They thought to themselves, "We were already overwhelmed, and now a demon with low cultivation has appeared."

To their surprise, this demon joined their ranks and fought alongside them against the demon race.

This left the humans both puzzled and relieved.

The arrival of Geng Miaowan and the others quickly turned the tide of the battle, with demon soldiers falling one after another. Soon, only the demon general-level demon remained on the field.

The demon glanced at the fallen soldiers, its red eyes burning fiercely, and its attacks became even more ruthless. Knowing it was no match for these men, it aimed to kill with every move.

With victory seemingly within reach, Geng Miaowan and the other humans on her side fought without holding back, and the demon general was quickly defeated.

However, a hint of excitement gleamed in his eyes.

Just as the white-robed elder was about to deliver the final blow to the demon general, a black shadow flashed past in the blink of an eye. A long spear blocked the white-robed elder's attack and swung to the side.

Caught off guard, the white-robed elder was nearly knocked to the ground, staggering several steps before finally regaining his balance. He looked at the newcomer and saw that it was a demon at the Demon Lord realm. Soon, a large number of demon soldiers, about twenty or thirty in total, arrived behind the Demon Lord. Among them were five Demon Generals, one Demon Lord, and most of the rest were between the True Demon and Heavenly Demon realms, only one or two levels below the Demon General realm.

Looking at this lineup, Geng Miaowan suddenly had a bad feeling.

She walked over to the old man in white and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me, young lady," the old man in white said, looking up at Geng Miaowan.

Geng Miaowan glanced at the demon soldiers opposite her. "Whether we can save them or not is still uncertain." Clearly, she wasn't confident in dealing with so many demon soldiers. "I'll hold them off for a bit. You guys keep an eye out for them and run as soon as you have a chance."

After she finished speaking, she waited for a while. But the old man did not answer. She looked over curiously and saw that the old man was staring at her blankly.

"what happened?"

“Geng…Miss…” the old man suddenly spoke.

When she saw that he could call her by name, Geng Miaowan felt a little strange. She stared at him carefully and felt that his appearance was indeed somewhat familiar.

"I...I am Ershan..."

“Er...Ershan?” Looking at the white-haired old man in front of her, she would not have recognized him at all if he hadn’t brought it up.

Ershan nodded repeatedly, "It's me, it's me." He never expected to run into her here, and for her to save him once again.

The demon lord paid no attention to Ershan, merely glancing at him casually after forcing him back. Then he looked at everyone present, finally fixing his gaze on Geng Miaowan.

His blood-red eyes stared at her for a moment before he slowly asked, "Have you been secretly sabotaging my sentry posts?"

Geng Miaowan has never been stingy in admitting what she has done. She raised an eyebrow, glared at him, and said, "So what if it is!"

"That's for the best. Let's settle this score today." As the demon lord spoke, his spear rose from the ground and landed in his hand. After circling around, it pointed directly at Geng Miaowan. The other demon soldiers, though standing in their respective positions, were all secretly watching the situation on her side.

Judging from their posture, it was clear they came prepared.

Geng Miaowan glanced at Ershan and thought to herself, "Ershan, it seems I've dragged you into this mess."

Thinking this to himself, he also made a move, quickly drawing a sword and pointing it back. Uh... it was a sword he drew from a young man beside him.

Because she doesn't use weapons very often, she never thinks of finding a suitable weapon for herself.

Seeing that she didn't even have her own weapon, the demon lord snorted disdainfully. Seeing that she was ready, the demon lord wasted no time, shouted, and charged towards Geng Miaowan.

Seeing this, the other demon soldiers also began to attack the human cultivator opposite them. The addition of these demons drastically changed the situation, and the humans, who had initially held a slight advantage, were quickly overwhelmed and unable to fight back.

As for Geng Miaowan facing the Demon Lord, the two were evenly matched, but in terms of combat experience and stamina, the Demon Lord naturally had a slight advantage. However, Geng Miaowan was petite and agile, so she did not fall behind.

Seeing the situation on Ershan's side, she felt somewhat worried. Moreover, if she herself couldn't win in a short time, she feared she would also fall behind in the long run.

For a time, the two sides were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

The demon lord did not let his guard down just because Geng Miaowan looked young. On the contrary, he was very cautious with every move he made. Geng Miaowan noticed that he didn't seem to use his full strength with each move; it was just enough to block her attack and push her back a little.

Time passed second by second. Humans were the weakest in the Six Realms, and although cultivators were much stronger than ordinary people, they had no advantage against these demons. Soon they began to feel their strength waning.

Geng Miaowan skillfully dodged each of the Demon Lord's attacks, and he could also evade her attacks in time. Geng Miaowan initially thought this was because their strengths were evenly matched. However, as time went on, she gradually noticed something was amiss.

Each move the demon lord made forced her back a small step, but he never pressed his advantage, simply dodging her counterattacks with ease. Gradually, she felt her spiritual energy rapidly diminishing, while the demon lord remained calm and composed, seemingly in complete control.

Geng Miaowan sensed something was wrong. She hadn't expected the Demon Lord to be so cunning, actually trying to deplete her spiritual and physical strength. Knowing that continuing like this would be very disadvantageous, she quickly gathered her spiritual power and unleashed it at the Demon Lord with all her might, wanting to end the battle quickly.

As the saying goes, mistakes are made in chaos.

In her anxiety, Geng Miaowan's movements became less composed than before, revealing numerous weaknesses in just a few moves. (To be continued.)
