Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

The demon soldier's grip on the spear made a crisp sound, and his face turned pale with wide eyes.

He stared intently at the arrow in his chest, blood flowing down his body and onto the ground.

The moment the demon soldier fell to the ground, it immediately attracted the attention of the other soldiers around him, who all rushed towards them.

"What happened?" The soldiers surrounded the fallen demon soldier and asked with concern.

"Someone attacked me," the demon soldier said with difficulty.

"Attacked you? Who did it?" someone questioned.

"It must be those bastards from the temple!" Upon hearing this, all the soldiers were furious.

They all raised their weapons and charged outwards.

Xu Yao stood at a distance watching the soldiers, but he did not stop their actions.

Xu Yao needs to draw fire so that he can leave at his own pace.

"Let's go quickly," Xu Yao said to one of the Holy Knights beside him.

The Holy Knight nodded and then led Xu Yao away.

Just as Xu Yao had walked away, a strong sense of danger suddenly surged in.

Xu Yao hurriedly turned around, his divine power surged, and an explosive force filled the entire space, forming a terrifying shockwave.

The powerful force blew everything around it away.

Suddenly, a pair of wings appeared behind Xu Yao. They were black wings that emitted a cold light.

With a flap of those wings, Xu Yao's body vanished from the spot in an instant.

A violent explosion came from where Xu Yao had been standing, shattering a stone slab into powder.

Two dark figures chased after Xu Yao from behind.

Xu Yao frowned slightly and leaped into the air.

The two dark figures crashed directly into Xu Yao's feet, then flipped and leaped into the air.

Two pairs of dark eyes stared at Xu Yao, filled with hatred.

Xu Yao glanced at the two demon soldiers.

The two demon soldiers were extremely burly, with dark skin and bloodshot eyes, looking incredibly fierce.

Xu Yao was stunned after he saw what the two demon soldiers looked like.

These aren't demon soldiers, they're monsters!

Although the demon race is already very powerful, there are still many monsters.

Moreover, monsters and demons are natural enemies; demons generally kill any monsters they encounter.

The two demonic beasts ignored all of this and instead pounced on Xu Yao.

The two demonic beasts were incredibly fast, arriving at Xu Yao's side in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yao's pupils contracted, and he swung a long sword at the heads of the two demonic beasts.

The two demonic beasts seemed to have anticipated Xu Yao's attack, and kicked him hard in the abdomen with both legs.

Xu Yao's body froze, and then he was kicked away by the two demonic beasts.

His body crashed into a tree, which snapped in two, and Xu Yao's body was buried in the ruins.

The two demonic beasts exchanged a glance and then prepared to flee.

But just as they were about to leave, a long sword slashed through the air and aimed at their necks.

The head of the black bear demon leader flew off.

The remaining Black Tiger Beast Leader went berserk upon seeing his brother's death.

He roared and charged toward Xu Yao.

After crawling out of the ruins, Xu Yao held his long sword horizontally to his side, watching the black tiger monster charging towards him.

The black tiger demon's claws slammed against the longsword, producing a series of dull thuds.

The black tiger demon leader's claws were covered in blood, and it let out an angry howl.

Without any reaction, Xu Yao slashed the black tiger beast's head with his sword again.

Xu Yao instantly severed the head of the Black Tiger Beast Leader.

The black tiger monster's corpse fell to the ground, blood gushing from its wounds.

Xu Yao glanced at the corpses on the ground and then turned and left. It was still some distance from the Holy Knights' encampment.

During his journey, Xu Yao spotted some soldiers, but they seemed unwilling to talk to him.

Xu Yao ignored them and continued on his way.

Just as Xu Yao was about to reach the camp of the Holy Knights, he discovered a corpse lying in a clump of grass.

"Huh?" Xu Yao squatted down.

The corpse had been killed by wild beasts, its body covered in teeth marks.

"Not good..." Xu Yao's expression suddenly changed, and he looked around.

There were no traces around, but Xu Yao's expression turned serious.

There are definitely monsters around here, and this person was most likely killed by one of them.

Just then, a low growl came from the surrounding forest, and a huge tiger, over five meters tall, slowly emerged from the depths of the dense forest.

The tiger was covered in thick fur, and its scarlet eyes revealed a bloodthirsty nature.

The tiger roared to the sky and then slapped Xu Yao with its paw.

Xu Yao quickly dodged the tiger's attack and darted off in another direction.

This level of monster is simply beyond Xu Yao's ability to contend with. Even in the Holy Domain, Xu Yao doesn't believe he can defeat this monster.

The beast attacked quickly, and Xu Yao was struck by the tiger's tail and knocked to the ground while dodging.

Xu Yao felt a sharp pain, and after struggling for a few moments, he finally decided to stand up.

At this moment, the tiger had already approached Xu Yao, and Xu Yao reached into his pocket with his right hand and took out a talisman.

"Swift Wind Talisman"

The talisman burned with blue flames, which formed a vortex in the air and then sucked the tiger into it.

The tiger disappeared at the same time as the flames.

Xu Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued running forward, hoping to find the other Holy Knights as soon as possible.

By the time Xu Yao found the other Holy Knights, they were already locked in a fierce battle.

Before the group of Holy Knights lay the corpses of dozens of demonic beasts, all of which had their throats torn open and were dripping with blood.

Moreover, there were also many bones among these monster corpses.

They had obviously been eaten by monsters, and the Holy Knights all had some injuries.

"Keep going, everyone! Hold on, reinforcements are coming soon."

Xu Yao smiled with satisfaction, then turned and left.

"Finally back," Xu Yao said with a sigh of relief.

Xu Yao was truly exhausted this time, having been seriously injured in the battle against the Dark Church.

Xu Yao took the treatment medicine and a bottle of recovery potion, then closed his eyes and rested for a while.

When Xu Yao woke up, it was already daylight, but he was wearing a white robe.

Xu Yao picked it up and realized it was the clothes he had changed out of last night. Looking at the clothes in his hand, Xu Yao was somewhat dazed.
