The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Chu Xiu heard every word of the conversation between the three of them.

Even though he was confident in his courage, he couldn't help but think about retreating at this moment.

Even the mighty Demon Emperor couldn't escape the schemes of that unknown enemy, so why should I get involved in this mess...

Just as Chu Xiu hesitated, he suddenly looked to the west, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed instantly.

In the distant western sky, several birds were flying at an extremely fast speed, covering a thousand miles in just a few breaths, heading straight for the three people from the Yuling Sect.

"This is really...like having someone hand you a pillow when you're just about to fall asleep..."

Chu Xiu chuckled softly.

He had been considering leaving, going in another direction to find a few monsters of similar strength, beheading them to earn merit points.

Immediately, a demon of similar cultivation level came to his door.

Several breaths after Chu Xiu sensed the approaching enemy, the tiger demon finally realized that an enemy was attacking.

"Enemy attack!"

"Such surging demonic energy! There's actually a demon general leading the team! We're doomed!"

The tiger demon dragged his two pale-faced colleagues down rapidly across the desert, quickly finding a cliff cave to hide in.

Unfortunately, it was useless. Since that demon general from the opposing force had come straight here, it was clear that he had a specific objective.

When the demon general led several demon soldiers to the place where the tiger demon and the others had previously stayed, the vertical-pupiled beast eyes blinked and looked toward the cliff cave where they were hiding.

"Hide? No matter how vast the world is, where can you hide!"

The lizard-like demon general flicked his long tongue, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out a hand, which transformed into a giant energy hand, directly smashing the cliff wall to pieces.

The cliff collapsed, and yellow sand billowed up.

The tiger demon and his two subordinates, heavily wounded, fled from the ruins, splitting into three groups to escape for their lives.

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow: "You're quite clever..."

While the success rate of escaping separately is extremely low under such circumstances, it is still much higher than the probability of escaping together.

"Still trying to run?" The lizard-headed demon sneered, glancing at the two fleeing female demons, the one whose beauty pleased him the most.

He then reached out his right hand and used the same trick again, capturing the other two lesser demons from afar. He pulled them back to his side, intending to crush them to death before chasing after the one he had his eye on.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to clench his fist, a flash of light swept past his eyes.

The next moment, a stinging sensation shot through my arm and flooded my mind.

"My hand! My hand! Who did this?! Show yourself!"

The lizard-headed demon roared in agony, not even bothering to catch his severed hands immediately in order to find the enemy who had cut off his hands, letting them fall to the desert.

"My lord...your hand..." the demon soldier beside the lizard-headed demon general stammered.

The lizard-headed demon general immediately cursed, "One pair of hands is nothing! I can grow two new ones in half an hour!"

"Find that person right now!"

"If he can cut off my hands, he can cut off my head!"

laugh!

A faint tearing sound suddenly rang out, and the lizard-headed demon general's cursing came to an abrupt halt.

The demon soldiers closest to the demon general only saw a figure and a flash of sword light pass by, and their demon general's head flew into the air and landed safely in the hands of a crocodile demon that suddenly appeared not far from them.

Immediately afterwards, blood spurted from the severed neck of the lizard-headed demon general, and his body fell straight to the ground.

The two lesser demons from the Spirit Control Sect, a tiger and a spider, watched in shock as the lizard-headed demon general's corpse fell to the ground and rolled next to their severed hand.

"That's... our sect's alligator demon general?!"

"How can it be!"

"He beheaded the dragon lizard demon general with just two swings of his sword?"

The tiger demon stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The spider demon beside her was equally shocked and could not speak coherently.

"That's... one of the top 100 demon generals of the Demon Slayer Sect..."

"When did this pig-dragon... no, when did this alligator dragon demon general become so powerful?"

The petite little demon, who had escaped hundreds of miles because she fit the dragon lizard demon general's fetish, mustered up her courage and rushed back after realizing something was wrong.

They happened to witness Chu Xiu, disguised as the alligator demon general, tossing the head of the dragon lizard demon general around.

"You are... General Tuolong?"

The little demon, who resembled a young girl, was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down on one knee in front of Chu Xiu to pay her respects.

"This humble servant, Huaye, greets General Tuolong!"

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and glanced at the little flower fairy.

General Tuolong?

Even a creature like the alligator dragon was never called that until its death.

This is a title that only the top 100 among the 3,000 demon generals of the Yuling Sect are qualified to enjoy.

Could it be that the dragon lizard demon general, whom I killed with a single strike, was ranked quite high among the demon generals of the Demon Slaughter Sect?

Chu Xiu casually put away the dragon lizard demon general, glanced at the few Demon Slaughter Sect lesser demons who were frozen in fear, and then looked at the flower demon still kneeling before him.

"Get up... Do you recognize it?"

Hua Ye nodded repeatedly, stood up, and said, "The Dragon Lizard Demon General is ranked ninety-seventh among the thousand demon generals of the Demon Slaughter Sect. He likes to hide his strength at the late stage of the Qiankun Realm to lure enemy demon generals of similar strength into attacking him."

"His true strength should be at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm!"

The Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm?

Chu Xiu frowned and looked at the alligator dragon demon blade in his right hand.

If this dragon lizard demon general were truly at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm, how could he have been sliced ​​in the throat with such ease, like cutting melons and vegetables...?

This demonic blade is incredibly sharp?

Chu Xiu glanced down at the desert below. The tiger demon was quick-witted and nimble. In a flash, it arrived in front of the dragon lizard demon's corpse, grabbed it, and rushed to Chu Xiu, kneeling on one knee and offering it with both hands.

"Thank you so much, General Tuolong, for saving my life!"

The spider demon beside her also rushed over and knelt down to express her gratitude.

Chu Xiu casually raised his hand, moving the dragon lizard demon's corpse in front of him, while also helping up the two kneeling little demons.

He scanned the corpse before him with his divine sense and extracted a round, purple pill from its heart and lungs.

Sensing the immense energy contained within the purple pill, Chu Xiu nodded slightly: "Indeed, it's the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm..."

He hadn't expected that simply by using the techniques of simultaneously possessing the Dragon Vein and the Star Soul, he could forcibly elevate his strength to the mid-stage of the Qiankun Realm.

He casually poured all his demonic power into the demon sword in his hand and unleashed that strike, thus assassinating a demon general at the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm!

Chu Xiu gripped the demon blade tightly, a slight smile playing on his lips, even one of satisfaction.

He knew very well that this was not due to his own strength, but rather the great merit of this demonic sword.

This crocodile demon general actually hid a supreme treasure in his storage ring, letting it gather dust. What a waste!

Chu Xiu regained his composure, glanced at the few strongest among them who were merely minor demons of the Demon Slaughter Sect at the Reincarnation Realm, and said indifferently:

"Those monsters are yours."

The three little demons of the Spirit Control Sect standing beside Chu Xiu were overjoyed upon hearing this. After exchanging a glance, they attacked together and killed the enemy in a few moves.

"Thank you, General Tuolong!"

The flower fairy named Huaye hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Why has the general come here..."

Chu Xiu glanced at her indifferently, which frightened her so much that her face turned pale, and she quickly lowered her head, trembling.

Chu Xiu was taken aback. He had only glanced at the person who spoke, so why was she so frightened?

It seems that the alligator dragon's ugly face is still too frightening...
