A terrifying enemy has arrived!
Just as the thought crossed their minds, the white figure had already disappeared.
On the street, the two dog pups also vanished, as if they had never existed in this world.
The group of children playing with the pups showed confusion on their faces.
"I say, old man, what just happened?"
The young man asked in a hushed voice, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
"I don't know." The father muttered, "It's broad daylight... did we see a ghost?"
For a moment, similar ghostly sightings occurred in several nearby counties.
Along with the elusive white shadow, demon corpses began appearing out of thin air in the streets, restaurants, and rooftops.
Their deaths were gruesome—some dismembered, some in chunks, some were gooey...
The sudden appearance of these bodies sent the citizens into a panic, but it was no big deal—after all, causing panic was far better than causing deaths.
"Good, most of the red names in my line of sight have been dealt with..."
About five minutes later, Fang Yuan stood atop a high mountain, overlooking the scene below.
I must say, these demons entering the city were really skilled at hiding.
Some hid in people's homes as pets, some disguised themselves as high-end courtesans in brothels, and others even hid motionless in latrines!
But no matter where they hid, under Fang Yuan's dual buffs of [Fourth Calamity] and [Divine Sense], they were all exposed.
During the process of killing the demons, Fang Yuan also encountered some officers from the local Constabulary, who were grouped in pairs—five groups in total—lying in wait in nearby counties.
They were likely here for the demons of Jianghai Prefecture, but Fang Yuan didn't pay them much attention. After all, with their strength, they couldn't snatch any of his kills.
"The henchmen are all cleaned up, so now it's time for the main course."
With that thought, Fang Yuan looked at the group of demon spirits standing beside him.
The toad demon and the eel demon had already disappeared.
For some reason, the ghosts Fang Yuan summoned could not stay in this world for long. At most, they lasted three minutes before vanishing on their own.
So Fang Yuan summoned a new group to continue using.
"Tell me, where is the Mo Yu Demon Lord now?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Yes, the Mo Yu Demon Lord should be resting in the Liuxia Mountain Range, waiting for our message." One of the wolf demons replied.
Fang Yuan turned to the other spirits, "Is that true?"
"Yes, it's true." The demons answered in unison.
"Good. Take me to that mountain."
"Understood."
Liuxia Mountain, Clear Water Gorge.
Five hunters were facing the most crucial turning point of their lives.
What was supposed to be just another ordinary mountain hunt turned into an encounter with an extraordinary individual.
It was a young man, standing before them, smiling as he looked at them.
The young man was handsome, wearing a black cloak woven from feathers, which glittered under the sunlight like a magnificent royal garment.
The sunlight cast a shadow behind him, making him appear as if he were a deity.
"Are you the mountain god?" One of the hunters couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, the young man smiled, and the next moment, his figure blurred for an instant. When it became clear again, he was holding a round object in his hand.
It was one of the hunter's heads, blood still gushing from the severed neck.
"Hehe..." The young man chuckled, and in the terrified gazes of the other hunters, he bit into the flesh of the head, as if casually eating a lamb's head.
Amid the chewing, indistinct words came from the young man's mouth:
"You can run now, don't stand on ceremony."
"Ah!!!"
The hunters screamed and scattered in all directions.
But the young man stood still, continuing to slowly consume the head, until he had finished it.
Then, he casually stretched out his arms and transformed into a shadow, disappearing from the spot.
The hunt began quickly and ended just as quickly. In the blink of an eye, only one hunter remained, having been eaten, and Mo Yu Demon Lord, flying in the air, had firmly locked onto his prey.
So far, no prey had ever escaped his grasp.
The Iron Horned Demon King had sixteen demon lords under his command. Mo Yu, with his peak strength in the Fifth Realm, ranked in the middle of the group in overall power.
But if it came to speed, Mo Yu was undoubtedly number one!
Other demon lords were more or less under surveillance by the local Constabulary officials, but Mo Yu was the exception because no warrior could match his speed!
Unless the General of Yongnan Province, Jiang Tao, intervened, no one in the Constabulary could catch him.
"These hunters are reckless enough to come into the mountains to hunt, their vigilance is really poor..."
Looking at the figures still fleeing in panic below, Mo Yu Demon Lord chuckled:
"I can't believe I sent my subordinates to scout first so cautiously."
His subordinates must have already begun to feast in the county by now.
When the Iron Horned Demon King sent him here, he told him that Jianghai Prefecture was a land of opportunity. Mo Yu thought the king was trying to deceive him to make him obey, but it turned out that the king was telling the truth!
With that thought, Mo Yu Demon Lord grew bored. He would finish off this hunter, then formally take over Jianghai Prefecture and turn it into his territory!
The young man dove down, extending his claws toward the hunter's head!
"Mo Yu Lord~~~"
But just then, a unified shout suddenly echoed from somewhere below.
The voice carried a trace of grievance and ethereal quality. Mo Yu's brow furrowed as he turned to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of demon creatures standing not far away, lined up and smiling, waving at him.
These demons were all his subordinates, but now each of them appeared to be flickering in and out of existence, and they all wore eerie smiles...
Even Mo Yu, as a demon lord, was startled by the sight. Could it be haunted?
The next moment, a sense of danger surged within Mo Yu. He turned in fear and saw a large sword shadow rapidly enlarging before him!
Boom!!!
Mo Yu Demon Lord's body instantly cracked open, and his soul was violently shaken. He was sent flying!
Fang Yuan's face was cold as he wielded the earth sword, rushing forward once more!
The earth sword in his hand cut out dozens of strikes in the blink of an eye!
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
The cracks on Mo Yu Demon Lord's body turned from one to dozens, some of which had exposed his internal organs, but he was still strong, far from death!
