I have the face of a great demon.

He Taichou was terrified. When he saw the figure of the man in black robes, his first reaction was fear.

How could the legendary great demon, a being who once struck fear into the hearts of the entire cultivation world, suddenly appear here?

He prayed silently, hoping that perhaps someone was impersonating a great demon to scare him.

But when the great demon turned around and revealed the face that terrified him, he collapsed instantly.

He really is a great demon, I'm doomed this time!

This is completely different from the encounter with the great demon a thousand years ago.

Back then, he always hid behind the crowd, keeping a safe distance from the big devil, waiting for everyone to kill the big devil until he was on his last breath before he could take advantage of the situation.

After all his accomplices were dead, he had long since disappeared into the distance.

On his escape, whenever the Great Demon was about to catch up, disciples of the Wuhua Sect would always shield him from harm, so he had never been so close to the Great Demon before.

This time, he was cornered by the great demon in the forbidden area, less than ten feet away, and he truly had nowhere to escape.

In his despair, a thought suddenly popped into He Taichou's mind: Could it be that someone is wearing a human skin mask and impersonating the great demon?

After all, the big villain has been appearing quite frequently lately, but he hasn't actually harmed anyone, so there might actually be someone impersonating him.

But just as this hope began to rise, the man in black robes began to unleash his terrifying aura.

But as the black-robed man gradually released his aura, He Taichou's sense of luck was slowly eroded.

At first, the man in black robes did not release any aura, so his cultivation level was unknown.

But that aura, like a wild horse, began to surge, rising all the way to the Integration Stage. He Taichou's face lost all color, and he fell into complete despair.

It was a fear that penetrated to the bone, as if even the soul was frozen.

For him, powerful beings at the Integration Stage were like an insurmountable chasm.

He Taichou opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't even make a sound.

His heart was filled with fear, and he no longer had the courage to resist.

Faced with such absolute power, any resistance seems pale and powerless.

The man in black robes slowly approached, each step feeling like it was treading on He Taichou's heart, causing his heart to beat faster.

His body was stiff, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his eyes were filled with despair.

"You...you really are the Great Demon Lord?" He Taichou's voice was almost inaudible, his body trembling slightly with fear.

The man in black robes did not answer; he simply stood there quietly, his very presence speaking volumes.

He Taichou knew that he had no chance of surviving.

His heart was filled with nothing but endless fear and regret.

He regretted his greed; why did he follow Ye Sisi to the forbidden area of ​​Wuhua Gate?

Now he finally understood that the big devil who had appeared many times recently was real.

The great demon's goal is the forbidden area of ​​Wuhua Gate.

No wonder the great demon didn't kill anyone; he refrained from doing so to avoid alerting the enemy.

Now that the great demon has obtained the treasure trove of the Wuhua Sect, he has no more scruples. Today is the day he will kill.

He Taichou trembled as he watched the great demon raise his right hand, preparing to deliver a fatal blow. He could only await his death.

Just then, a rumbling sound suddenly came from a corner not far ahead, and an opening slowly opened, revealing a dazzling light.

The great demon turned his head and looked on with delight. He abandoned He Taichou and rushed towards the mysterious cave entrance in a flash.

Seeing this scene, He Taichou felt a renewed hope for life.

There's always a way out!

Just as he was about to die, heaven opened its eyes, and the last treasure trove of Wuhua Sect appeared at this moment. It must contain treasures that the great demon had been coveting for a long time, which is why he didn't care about He Taichou, a nobody, and rushed up to seize the treasure.

Such a golden opportunity, how could He Taichou possibly let it slip by?

Just as the great demon rushed towards the treasure vault, He Taichou suddenly regained his strength and leaped into the air at an incredible speed, fleeing towards the entrance of the forbidden area.

Seeing He Taichou's figure disappear into the forbidden area, Liu Xingchen finally relaxed his tense nerves and let out a long sigh of relief.

What he just witnessed really made his heart leap into his throat.

After being knocked away by He Taichou's attack, he suffered minor injuries, but thanks to the protection of the black robe, his injuries were not serious.

He was well aware of the difference in strength between himself and He Taichou, so he did not impulsively choose to fight head-on. Instead, he pretended to fall into the collapsed rocks and waited for an opportunity.

While He Taichou focused all his attention on Ye Sisi, Liu Xingchen silently slipped out from the rocks, transforming into a great demon, ready to scare He Taichou away.

The plan went surprisingly smoothly. With the help of the black-robed figure, he simulated the powerful aura of a Nascent Soul stage expert, successfully frightening He Taichou.

But mere intimidation won't suffice. With his strength, even if He Taichou dares not resist and lets him do as he pleases, he still can't kill He Taichou.

The moment he makes a move, He Taichou will know that this great demon is a fraud, and then everything will be over.

Therefore, Liu Xingchen made a feigned act of killing someone, but secretly had the spirit create the illusion of a new treasure vault appearing on the other side, using this as a pretext to let He Taichou go and give him a chance to escape.

He Taichou fell for the trap as expected. Without carefully distinguishing between the real and the fake, he grabbed at the straw and disappeared without a trace. Now they were safe.

With He Taichou's escape, the atmosphere inside the forbidden area finally eased, and the crisis seemed to have been averted.

Liu Xingchen didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately turned around and ran towards Ye Sisi and Tie Zhu, his heart filled with worry.

He first went to Ye Sisi's side and saw her lying quietly on the ground. Although her face was pale, her breathing was steady; she had simply fainted.

Liu Xingchen felt relieved. Fortunately, he appeared in time, otherwise Ye Sisi would have fallen victim to He Taichou's evil deeds.

Liu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Tie Zhu.

He peeled away the stones covering the iron pillar, feeling a little nervous.

Tie Zhu's body was buried under the rocks, motionless, but when Liu Xingchen saw Tie Zhu's broad chest still rising and falling slightly, he knew that Tie Zhu was still alive.

"Tiezhu, Tiezhu, wake up!" Liu Xingchen shook Tiezhu's shoulders forcefully, his voice filled with urgency.

Tie Zhu's eyelids twitched, and he finally opened his eyes.

He shook his head, still seemingly a little confused: "Where is this? Where is that old bastard He Taichou?"

“I scared that old bastard He Taichou away.”

"Scared away? Oh, Brother Xingchen, you dressed up as a big demon to scare people again, didn't you?"

Liu Xingchen made a shushing gesture: "Shh, be careful, don't let Ye Sisi hear us. We can't let her know my identity yet."

"Hmm, where is Senior Sister Ye?"

"She fainted at that time, but she's alright. Let me help you up first."

Then he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're really tough, you didn't die from such a heavy blow."

Tie Zhu scratched his head and smiled憨厚ly: "Hehe, I'm strong, this little injury is nothing."
