Zhou Shu lowered his head, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Although a Great Demon could mine countless ores for him, if he really threatened the safety of the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch, Zhou Shu wouldn’t show any mercy.

“The humans are cunning, Aotian. Are you sure you found the hiding place of the human army? Surely they won’t have moved by the time we get there,” Zhou Shu asked calmly.

“They won’t,” Yao Aotian said in a low voice. “Nephew Yao Qing, I won’t be wrong about this.

“I’m absolutely certain that’s where they’re hiding. Speaking of which, the human race is indeed full of tricks. Who would have thought that they would hide in a karst cave like ground rats?

“I wonder how they found that place. As a native of the Demon Realm, I didn’t even know there was such a place in the Demon Realm.”

Yao Aotian felt emotional. Although humans were very weak, he had to admit that they were indeed stronger than demons in some aspects.

For example, Yao Qing—he had learned some human principles from his father and could easily guide demons to break through. It was an enigma how he did it.

As soon as Zhou Shu heard Yao Aotian say the words karst cave, the killing intent in his heart was almost uncontrollable. Yao Aotian had really discovered the location of the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch!

In that case, he must not live!

Yao Aotian also sensed Zhou Shu’s faint killing intent, but he thought that Zhou Shu’s killing intent was directed at the human army.

“Nephew, you don’t have to do such a small thing personally.” Yao Aotian smiled. “Nephew, you’re in charge of the middle army. You just have to give orders. Naturally, just leave the charging and attacking to me and the demonic beast army under my command.”

Yao Aotian patted his chest loudly. “Don’t worry. If the human army escapes, I’ll take the blame!

“My fate is in my hands, not the heavens. As a demon, I should be Yao Aotian. I will definitely not let you down!”

“I believe in your skills, Aotian. But there’s another problem.” Zhou Shu hesitated. “Killing the human army is the mission Demon King Ao and the others gave Demon King Hu Li. Isn’t it a little inappropriate for us to do this? We’re stealing Demon King Hu Li’s mission.”

“Do you think Demon King Hu Li still cares about that bit of credit?” Yao Aotian smiled. “Demon King Hu Li is already a Demon King, the thirteenth Demon King of the Demon Realm! Even Demon King Ao and the others can’t order him to do anything anymore.

“Nephew, have you forgotten the rules of our Demon Realm? The Demon Kings will not directly interfere in the battle between the Demon Realm and the human race. Even if we don’t do it, Demon King Hu Li will not continue to pursue the human army.”

“Instead of letting the other Great Demons benefit, why can’t we do it?”

“That makes sense.” Zhou Shu nodded. “In that case, I’ll do it! I originally wanted to take revenge on those humans, and now it’s just as I wish!”

“I have to thank you, Aotian, for giving me this chance!”

“Nephew, you’re being too polite. You’ve given me a new lease on life.” Yao Aotian smiled happily.

“Although the Demon Realm is our territory and you’re stronger than the other party, to be safe, I think we should investigate first.” Zhou Shu pondered. “Why don’t we go there and take a look first? Aotian, what do you think?”

“Might as well.” Yao Aotian didn’t think too much about it and nodded. “Previously, I only observed outside the karst cave for a few days. I really didn’t investigate clearly.

“Yao Qing, you’re so thoughtful.” Yao Aotian didn’t forget to flatter Zhou Shu. In fact, he didn’t think much of it.

In his opinion, a human army with only tens of thousands of people could be easily annihilated. There was no need to consider so much.

He could just crush them with his army.

But since Yao Qing wanted to take a look, it was fine.

Wasn’t it just a trip?

“There’s no time to lose. We’ll leave now,” Zhou Shu said solemnly. He couldn’t let Yao Aotian stay here any longer. Otherwise, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t tell anyone.

Yao Aotian didn’t think too much about it. He was currently in a period of expansion, and he felt that he was the strongest existence below the Demon Kings.

He didn’t care about a mere human army.

If not for the fact that he wanted to let Yao Qing earn the credit, Yao Aotian felt that he could sweep through this human army alone.

“Nephew Yao Qing, if we encounter human experts later, you don’t have to make a move. After I subdue them, you can just take their heads.”

Yao Aotian thought that he was being very considerate.

Zhou Shu nodded. He had already sentenced Yao Aotian to death in his heart.

Although it was a pity to kill a Great Demon miner, he was now a threat to the safety of the Ten Nations Alliance, so he could only send him on his way.

Demon King Hu Li had gone somewhere to gather forging materials. In Hu Li’s territory, no one would stop Zhou Shu, who represented Hu Li.

He and Yao Aotian left without a hitch.

In order to flatter him, Yao Aotian even took the initiative to fly with Zhou Shu.

“Yao Qing, that place is not far ahead.” Yao Aotian pointed ahead as he flew.

“We’ll kill this human army later. It’s not bad for you to keep this place as a palace. When the time comes, I’ll send you a hundred and eighty young ladies from our demon clan…” Yao Aotian chuckled.

Zhou Shu snorted but made no comment.

After leaving Hu Li’s territory, the man and the demon gradually entered a desolate forest.

“Aotian!”

Yao Aotian was flying when he suddenly heard Zhou Shu call out.

He turned his head instinctively in response. “Nephew Yao Qing, am I flying too fast?”

“You’re not flying too fast. You’re narrowing the path,” Zhou Shu said something Yao Aotian didn’t understand, and then Yao Aotian felt a strong wind blow against his face.

His expression changed, and he exclaimed, “Nephew—”

Before he could finish, he felt a violent force pressing down on him.

He roared, and his spiritual essence surged in his body. But before his powerful spiritual essence could explode, his head buzzed and his eyes darkened. Then he lost consciousness.

Zhou Shu’s face was a little pale. Although he hadn’t used his divine ability Total Annihilation, he had used his full strength.

In particular, the full-strength attack of his divine sense made him feel as if his head had been emptied.

He held Yao Aotian’s neck with one hand. Yao Aotian’s eyes had already rolled back, and he had fainted.

Caught off guard, his mind had been attacked by Zhou Shu’s divine sense. It was already impressive that he wasn’t dead.

“Yao Aotian, if you don’t die, the Ten Nations Alliance will be in danger,” Zhou Shu said. “If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for knowing too much.”

Zhou Shu drew the Ming Hong Saber. With a flash of light, Yao Aotian’s head fell to the ground.

Poor Yao Aotian had just seen the threshold of the Demon King realm when he lost his life.

[The Ming Hong Saber you forged effectively completed a kill. Divine ability Myriad Transformations +3!]

A message flashed before his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

He glanced at Yao Aotian and raised his hand to take a strand of hair from his head. Then flames shot out from both his hands.

The next moment, Yao Aotian’s body turned into ashes in the raging flames and dissipated into the air.

From the moment Zhou Shu attacked until Yao Aotian’s corpse completely disappeared, only a few breaths had passed. There was not much commotion at all.

A Great Demon who was infinitely close to the Demon King realm had disappeared from the world forever!

Zhou Shu felt a little emotional. Speaking of which, his cultivation was actually inferior to Yao Aotian’s. If they had fought head-on, he might not be Yao Aotian’s match unless he used his divine ability Total Annihilation.

The reason he could end the battle so quickly was mainly because Yao Aotian was not on guard against him. A Great Demon had lost his life so easily. This world was ultimately full of danger.

Zhou Shu was secretly vigilant. Although his current cultivation was not low, he was far from invincible. He had to be more careful. Otherwise, he might end up like Yao Aotian and fail miserably.

Zhou Shu turned around and looked in the direction of the tiger demon clan lands. Then he turned around and transformed into a ray of light, instantly disappearing in the direction of the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch.
