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

Seeing Chu Xiu stand up, Hai You quickly said, "I will go with the general!"

She thought of going with the alligator dragon, firstly to witness the alligator dragon's current strength firsthand, so as to make a basis for how she and her family should deal with this rising demon general in the future;

Secondly, he wanted to witness firsthand how tragically the villain who had humiliated him for half his life would die under the demonic blade of the alligator dragon!

To his surprise, Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Even though Long Xiong is a remnant soul, he is still a Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm."

"Your strength is only at the late stage of the Qiankun realm. In this battle, you are a burden."

Haiyou was taken aback, and the light in his eyes dimmed slightly.

Her strength is indeed at the late stage of the Qiankun Realm, which is quite impressive. Although she does not hold a military position, her strength is comparable to that of the Lilong Demon General.

In the eyes of the alligator dragon, however, he had become a burden...

Chu Xiu added at the opportune moment: "Besides, if I hurt you, who should I ask for the compensation I deserve?"

What was originally a perfectly normal sentence, however, sounded to Haiyou as Chu Xiu's concern for her, instantly dispelling all the sorrow that had surfaced in her heart.

Hai You swept away the sorrow on his face and immediately nodded, saying, "Then we will do as the general says. This is the tiger tally of my sea shark clan. With this tally, the general can mobilize five hundred battle formation soldiers to help him capture and kill the dragon bear!"

The so-called Battle Formation Army is an army capable of forming battle formations on the battlefield. Every member of the Battle Formation Army is an invaluable resource for the Spirit Control Sect.

The battle formations constructed by the Battle Formation Army can not only boost the morale of their own soldiers, but also summon the spirit of the battle formation with the morale, adding to the soldiers' combat power.

Even so, Chu Xiu still chose to refuse: "I don't need any assistance, I can do it all by myself!"

To kill Long Xiong, he would have to use all his trump cards, and since his identity still needs to be kept secret, he would naturally not choose to fight to the death in front of everyone.

"It's far too dangerous for you to go alone..." Hai You said worriedly. "I have already reported to the army. General, you can lead the troops there..."

Chu Xiu smiled slightly: "Since you have entrusted yourself to me, you should not doubt my abilities..."

He slowly walked onto the terrace, slightly tilting his head back. His robes swayed without wind as he released his demonic power.

Chu Xiu tilted his head and smiled: "Within two days, the alligator dragon will bring back the remains of the dragon bear, and Miss Hai can decide its fate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiu's figure flashed, carrying a monstrous demonic aura, and he used his escape technique to leap towards the location of the dragon bear that Hai You had told him about.

Haiyou, standing on the terrace, slowly lowered his outstretched hand, swallowed the words "Be careful in everything" that he hadn't had time to say, and looked at the blurry figure that was getting further and further away.

"Wishing you a safe journey and a peaceful return..."

A moonlit night in the desert.

A complex array of lights sat atop the desolate desert, shining brightly under the dim moonlight.

But no matter how dazzling it was, nothing within a hundred miles of the array of lights dared to approach it.

The ring of incomplete, mid-to-high-level demonic beast corpses around the area serve as proof of the great calamity that this place is in.

Having had his remnant soul and body awakened by a secret technique, the Dragon Bear Demon General, now resembling a walking corpse with its own consciousness, had just finished consuming the heart of a late-stage Qiankun Realm demon beast and was about to drift off to sleep.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he unleashed a fierce demonic aura at the peak of the Qiankun Realm, roaring at the surroundings, "Who! Show yourself!"

The roar resounded for dozens of miles. If someone weak was present, they would probably have been injured by the roar of the dragon bear.

As the dragon-bear roared in anger and became wary of its surroundings, countless sword lights hovered high above its head, gradually coalescing into a gigantic sword a thousand feet long that pierced the clouds.

Chu Xiu looked down at the dragon-bear on the desert and smiled coldly. He pressed his right hand down toward the array light. At the same time, the giant sword slashed through the night sky and crashed heavily to the ground!

"Ten thousand swords unite!"

"Shu Zi'an dare!"

The Dragon Bear Demon General's eyes flashed with ferocity. He hadn't expected that this sudden enemy would directly intend to destroy the target within the formation he was guarding.

Its resurrected mission is to protect the sub-array of this intercontinental teleportation array.

Faced with such a deadly attack, it had no choice but to take it head-on!

If they take the hit head-on, there's still a chance of survival and saving the team.

If it dares to abandon the formation to save its life, the Demon Emperor will find out within a day, and it will be annihilated!

As Chu Xiu expected, the dragon bear indeed chose to reveal its true form, forcefully catching the thousand-foot-long giant sword with its nearly thousand-foot-long true form.

For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither gaining the upper hand.

Chu Xiu was waiting for the moment when the dragon bear was bound by the giant sword and unable to escape!

He clenched his fist, gathered his spiritual energy, drew his bow and pulled the arrow. The demonic energy in the sky was drawn by the demonic magic he used, condensing into a powerful arrow of tangible energy that instantly drained all the unclaimed demonic energy within a hundred miles!

The dragon-bear, restrained by the giant sword, saw the spell Chu Xiu was casting and its eyes widened in horror: "This is... a demonic secret technique! The Heaven-Slaying Arrow!"

"Who are you?! How can you use such demonic magic?! Did His Majesty send you to kill me?"

"Impossible! Impossible!"

"If Your Majesty wanted to kill me, why did you need to have the alligator dragon resurrect me!"

"Who are you!"

Chu Xiu completely ignored the several earth-shattering roars of questioning, focusing all his attention on the Heaven-Slaying Arrow he had condensed.

"I never imagined that in this world filled with demonic energy, the Heaven-Slaying Arrow's strength could be enhanced so dramatically..."

"Killing the dragon bear with a single arrow is a piece of cake..."

Chu Xiu suddenly realized: "It seems that using demonic power to gather demonic energy and perform demonic mystical arts is the right way, while spiritual power and spiritual energy are only secondary options..."

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the Heaven-Slaying Arrow in his hand was fully charged.

Chu Xiu didn't waste any words, immediately released the bowstring and shot an arrow!

The Heaven-Slaying Arrow shot out from the bowstring, tearing through the void. Along the way, it continued to frantically absorb the surrounding demonic energy, its power continuing to increase until it struck the head of the dragon bear's thousand-foot true form head-on!

Chu Xiu realized something and quickly turned around and took to the air.

Less than a breath after he turned his back, an extremely dazzling light flashed by, making the entire night sky as bright as day for a moment!

Immediately following was a deafening explosion that could be heard for miles around!

boom!

The explosion of the Heaven-Slaying Arrow also detonated the energy stored in the Myriad Swords Return to One, and the Dragon Bear's thousand-foot true body was directly reduced to dust in the explosion, leaving no trace of its body!

The aftershocks of the explosion traveled for tens of thousands of miles before finally subsiding.

At the epicenter of the explosion, a crater spanning hundreds of miles was revealed, and nothing within a thousand miles survived; everything was razed to the ground!

High in the sky, blood trickled from the corner of Chu Xiu's mouth.

Even though he realized his mistake and oversight, he still couldn't escape the aftereffects of his own magic.

He circulated his qi to regulate his breathing, forcibly suppressing the injuries to his lungs and internal organs, and rushed towards the center of the explosion where the aftershocks had dissipated.

Chu Xiu probed with his divine sense, which spread to a radius of a hundred miles. The dragon bear's body had already disappeared, but a trace of its divine soul power remained in the deep crater created by the explosion.

Chu Xiu reached out and grabbed the last remaining remnant soul of the Dragon Bear Demon General in his hand.

This remnant soul couldn't even maintain its consciousness.

Long Xiong is beyond dead!

Chu Xiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling a wave of fear. Luckily, he had run fast and far enough; otherwise, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed, in that explosion.

"Long Xiong is dead, and that formation..."

Chu Xiu looked around but found no trace of the remaining formation. However, in a corner of the ruins, he discovered a formation flag broken into several pieces.

"These flags... were not completely destroyed by the explosion and can still be repaired... what kind of material are they made of?"

Amazed, Chu Xiu put away the array flags for future use, then flashed away and left the place.

Although this place is a neutral, unclaimed area, the explosion will surely attract the attention of many parties. He is still weak and has suffered considerable injuries. It would be best for him to stay away from this troublesome place and not let anyone find out that the explosion was caused by him!
