In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

"Surely not? How could there be such a well-trained demon squad?" Fan Tong ran ahead, panting, while fifty demon cultivators quickly chased after him.

For the past ten days, Fan Tong has been heading towards Zhenmo City, taking the opportunity to ambush and kill some scattered demon cultivators or small demon strongholds.

Whether it was Fan Tong's harassment that annoyed the demon cultivators too much, or for some other reason, he encountered this group of demons after killing five demon cultivators.

"You little human bug, stop running and just wait to be transformed into a demon servant!" The demon squad leader looked at Fan Tong, admonishing him while speeding up his advance.

"Let's talk when you catch up!" Fan Tong said, and quickly ran into the forest not far away!

Upon entering the forest, he immediately used a concealment technique to erase any traces behind him, found a secluded cave, sat cross-legged, and absorbed the golden spiritual energy fed back by the Yama Ancient Sword.

"Damn it! Everyone, split into groups of three and search for this human bastard. I don't know where he came from, but he's so troublesome!"

"Everyone, hurry up! We've got the situation covered, but we still need to get to our next mission, which is the main reason we've come all this way!"

The demon captain, with a serious expression, ordered his men to prepare to end this hide-and-seek chase as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Young Master Luo, dealing with this petty thief is a piece of cake!" A demon in the team flattered him with a fawning expression.

"Alright! Everyone, let's get moving! Once we find that guy, don't act rashly. We need to use our numerical advantage to kill him in one fell swoop!" Young Master Luo nodded in satisfaction, urging everyone to act quickly!

Just as the demon squads were searching for news of Fan Tong in twos and threes, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief and stood up with satisfaction in this hidden cave!

"I never expected it would take ten days to fully recover from my previous injuries. What's even more gratifying is that the Yama Ancient Sword is now stronger than before!"

With such a rich supply of demonic energy, everything improved for Fan Tong, and his cultivation even subtly improved, almost reaching the peak of the second level of the Profound Spirit Realm!

"The time to hunt has come!" Fan Tong, who had completely concealed himself, sensed the approaching demon cultivators and silently took out the Taiyi Ancient Sword, hiding in the darkness at the entrance of the cave.

"Brother, why do we have to look for this petty thief? Even if he kills, how many of our demons can he kill? We'd be better off heading to the battlefield. I heard there's going to be a big operation!"

"Stop your nonsense! If you want to die, don't drag us down with you! You should know that Young Master Luo is from one of the ten great families of our Demon Clan. Coming to the Human-Demon Battlefield is a prestigious opportunity, so we should seize any chance we get!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Go inside and investigate!"

As the three drew closer, Fan Tong brandished his ancient sword and slashed at their positions. The second move of the Taiyi Sword Technique—Star Transformation—killed all three in the blink of an eye!

"Looks like there's an unexpected bonus!" Fan Tong processed what he had learned and headed towards the demon team.

This demon squad is no pushover; they've got some skills! Just as Fan Tong killed three demons, the entire squad suddenly received a warning and quickly converged!

Just as Fan Tong killed six more demons, the demon squad leader, Young Master Luo, finally gathered all the demons and surrounded Fan Tong's location.

"Let's see where you can run this time! You dared to kill my men, so you'd better obediently accept your death!"

After much effort and the loss of several men, Luo Gongzi finally saw Fan Tong at Fan Tong's initiative.

"You don't really think I'm afraid of you, do you? You demons, you're the only one who's at the third level of the Profound Demon Realm, the rest are only at the first or second level!"

"Let me see who gave you the courage to utter such treasonous words!"

After Fan Tong finished speaking, his figure moved like lightning, instantly transforming into a phantom and heading straight for the demon team.

The Taiyi Ancient Sword in his hand gleamed with a cold light, as if it could tear through the darkness. He unleashed the seventy-two basic sword moves, and in different combinations, the sharp sword moves and sword energy crisscrossed like an impenetrable net.

He killed four or five demon cultivators in front of him the moment they made contact, blood splattering everywhere and staining the ground red, making him look even more insane!

"Don't be afraid, everyone! We can wear him down!" Seeing the team members in a panic, Young Master Luo quickly spoke up and directed everyone's actions.

The demon chanted incantations and unleashed dark magic. Black light, like tentacles, attacked Fan Tong, attempting to bind him to the spot!

Fan Tong was not afraid at all. He changed his footwork and moved like a ghost, easily avoiding the attacks.

The swordplay in his hand grew increasingly fierce, each strike imbued with immense lightning-attribute spiritual power, each move carrying a determination to kill, and each strike taking the life of a demon!

After a fierce battle, Fan Tong finally killed several members of the demon team who were trying to escape, and then caught up with Young Master Luo, who had run the furthest away!

At this moment, Young Master Luo was no longer the spirited man he once was. His body was covered in wounds, his breath was weak, and his escape was quite pathetic!

"Young Master Luo, where are you headed in such a hurry?" Fan Tong teased.

"Human, let me tell you, you'd better not touch me! I am a member of the Luo family. If you dare to mess with me, you'll never be able to escape!"

Young Master Luo's face showed fear, but his words were full of threats!

"Oh? Is that so? I'm so scared! But let me scare you first!"

Fan Tong stepped forward and kicked Young Master Luo several meters away, then picked up the disheveled Young Master Luo.

Holding the sword to Young Master Luo's throat, he coldly asked, "Tell me! What exactly is your group doing here?"

"Hmph! You think I'm afraid of you? You can just kill me, anyway, I have the curse of the Luo family on me. Anyone who dares to kill me can expect endless pursuit from the Luo family!"

"Hehe, I love how stubborn you are! How about this, I'll treat you to a good show for free!"

Fan Tong set aside the incapacitated Young Master Luo, and then, with the help of the Yama Ancient Sword, devoured the demonic energy of the team members.

Then, under Young Master Luo's fearful gaze, he sat cross-legged and refined the golden spiritual energy that was fed back to him.

Quite coincidentally, after refining the last wisp of golden spiritual power, his cultivation broke through to the third level of the Profound Spirit Realm. His dantian space contracted again, condensing into a size of 700 meters in diameter, and the spiritual liquid within it became even denser.

Fan Tong slowly opened his eyes and looked at Young Master Luo, who was trembling like a leaf beside him. "How is it? Have you remembered anything?"

"No! Don't devour me! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" Upon hearing Fan Tong's words, Young Master Luo trembled and immediately went limp!

"Our team is heading to Demon City to participate in the mission to attack it!"

"Why do this? Is there a good chance of breaching the city?" Fan Tong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"No! This is actually a feint! It's to coordinate with the spies inside to set a trap and kill all the younger generation of disciples from the various sects in the Northern Region!"

"What? They're all in this battlefield between humans and demons too?"

"Aren't you a human cultivator participating in the Northern Region Grand Competition?" Young Master Luo was also taken aback and subconsciously asked back.

After another round of questioning, Fan Tong realized that this demon cultivator's status was truly extraordinary, having finally grasped so much information about the demon race.

It's a bit of a shame, though, that only dead enemies are good enemies!

"You actually went back on your word! I curse you! My Luo family will definitely avenge me!" Before dying, Young Master Luo spat out a mouthful of blood from his heart, and a colorless and odorless smoke appeared out of thin air, instantly entering the body of the unsuspecting Fan Tong!

Meanwhile, in the distant Western Regions, in a magnificent and terrifying mansion, an old man with a full head of red hair suddenly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura swept across the entire city!

……

"Tch! That sounds scary, but nothing happened!" Fan Tong thought it was just Young Master Luo talking nonsense before he died, so he quickly ran towards the so-called treasure location!

"I have to speed things up; I absolutely cannot let the demons' plot succeed!"
