23: Chapter 23 Slaying the Demon King

"Not bad. In half a month, everyone's strength has improved quite a bit."

In the sky, Ye Xiu was training the six of them in combat ability. Over the past half month, his strength had already risen to the seventh grade of the Sky-Soaring Realm.

His physical strength had reached 280 Dragon Power.

Even without using any boosting Martial Skill, he could break through the six of them's encirclement one by one in his normal state.

"The captain's strength—I'm afraid that apart from the Old City Lord, there are no other opponents within the Nine Cities."

"Haozi, what do you mean 'apart from the Old City Lord'? Brother Ye's strength is such that even if the Old City Lord came, it would be an even match," Li Luo retorted.

"Damn it, you bootlicking Li, do you have no shame?" Xiong Hanhan spat, clearly unable to stand Li Luo's remarks.

Ye Xiu smiled; flattery was still quite pleasant to hear.

Just as he was about to say a few words, three extremely strong auras suddenly appeared in his perception, moving from far to near, rushing rapidly toward the frontier war zone.

He frowned, and his figure instantly flew several miles away.

"Is a Yao King attacking?"

Zhou Hao's expression was solemn; he called out to the five of them and chased after him.

Ye Xiu's speed was very fast. In less than a hundred miles, it only took him five minutes to appear in the sky above the border defense area.

The soldiers stationed at the border below could not sense the three auras approaching rapidly.

They were still carrying out their patrol work as usual.

Five minutes later.

One after another, three figures appeared on the horizon.

The Yao Race?

Ye Xiu frowned slightly. How could he let them approach the frontier war zone? His blood energy exploded, and he blasted them directly with a [Pride of the World].

A blood-red light pierced the sky.

A terrifying shockwave, like a meteor, bombarded the three figures rushing forward.

Boom.

The three figures were hit head-on by the blood-red beam.

The world trembled, and a terrifying sonic boom echoed for hundreds of miles.

"Holy crap, Brother Ye is mighty!"

The six who arrived from behind were horrified. They knew their captain was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be so terrifyingly powerful.

That blood-red shockwave was simply too terrifying.

If they were hit head-on, they would probably be completely vaporized in an instant.

"Yunzhong City's Nine Heavens Taoist Sect requests support..."

An Qingyi's white clothes were stained with quite a bit of blood, and purple energy shrouded her. Having been hunted by two Yao Kings for half a month, her body already bore various wounds.

At this moment, under the blood-red shockwave, she was severely injured on the spot.

Seeing that the terrifying martial cultivator still intended to attack, she hurriedly cried out.

From Yunzhong City?

Ye Xiu stopped the condensation of his [Demon Slayer] Saber Qi.

He instructed the six who had already arrived by his side: "Today is the first battle of the God-Slaying Guard. Let's go, slaughter those two Yao Kings."

With that, seven figures rushed out together.

The distance between the two sides was not far, and in just a few dozen seconds, they had already made contact.

Just as An Qingyi was about to speak, she heard Ye Xiu shout coldly: "Stand aside and wait for inspection. Those who trespass into the frontier will be killed without mercy."

As the voice fell, the seven of them had already surrounded Hu Ao and Cang Jiu.

Kill!

With a shout.

Both sides began a fierce battle.

Both Yao Kings were in the [Mingdao Realm], but after a long pursuit, their own strength was already running low, and on top of that, they had taken a [Pride of the World] shockwave head-on.

Their Yao bodies already had significant injuries.

"A bunch of ants dare to surround and kill this king?" Hu Ao gave a great roar, and his hairy tiger claw slammed toward Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu didn't waste words and slapped back just the same.

Boom.

Hu Ao flew backward.

This time, in the clash of strength, it was defeated.

Ye Xiu gave a disdainful cold snort: "You guys surround and kill that one; I'm going to slaughter that Tiger Yao."

With that, he instantly caught up with the flying Hu Ao and kicked it.

Boom.

The powerful force under Ye Xiu's foot kicked up a sonic boom.

Hu Ao looked shocked. It was a [Mingdao Realm] Yao King that specialized in physique, yet it actually lost to a Human Race in physical strength. How was this possible?

Seeing the Human Race attack again.

It hurriedly raised its arms to block.

Boom.

The earth cracked, and Hu Ao was kicked into the ground by the powerful force, smashing out a hundred-meter-wide crater.

"Vulnerable."

Ye Xiu used his palm as a saber, and a [Demon Slayer] Saber Qi condensed in the air, slashing fiercely toward the crater on the ground.

Slash.

The Saber Qi was pitch black as ink.

In an instant, it had slashed into the crater on the ground.

"Tiger Roars in the Forest, roar..."

A violent roar from Hu Ao came from the crater, and the powerful sound wave, like an invisible fierce tiger, tore and bit the Saber Qi to pieces.

"I underestimated you."

Ye Xiu sneered, and a golden saber radiance several dozen meters long extended from his palm blade. This was [God Slaying], and the strength boost could reach 5 times.

Moreover, the [God Slaying] saber radiance was a conventional Move that could exist in his hand as a weapon for a long time.

At this moment, Ye Xiu's strength reached 1400 Dragon Power.

Not only was Hu Ao terrified, but even Cang Jiu, who was fighting on the side, was scared into retreating repeatedly. It didn't even care about the battle anymore and fled into the distance.

The six members of the God-Slaying Guard saw their captain was so fierce, so how could they let Cang Jiu escape?

They immediately surrounded and killed it, pinning it down.

Slash.

The saber radiance tore through the Void Realm.

Hu Ao roared, transforming into a black tiger over a hundred meters large, and charged toward the saber radiance.

Puchi...

The golden saber radiance sliced the Tiger Yao into two without any suspense.

Watching the Tiger Yao wailing on the ground, Ye Xiu swung the saber radiance, directly slicing the Tiger Yao in half, reached out, and immediately extracted a purple Yao Crystal from the split tiger brain.

Thus, the great battle came to an end.

"Not bad. For a Yao Beast capable of transformation, the energy in this Yao Crystal is truly rich."

Ye Xiu did not directly grab the Yao Crystal with his hand; instead, he tore a piece of his clothing to wrap the Yao Crystal. Only in this way could the Yao Crystal be preserved.

After finishing this set of actions, he looked at Cang Jiu, who was being pinned down by the six.

He gave a light shout: "You guys step aside, go to the side and block this beast's escape route; I will slay it."

With that, he was already carrying the dozens-of-meters-long saber radiance and killed his way up.

The six heard the order and immediately scattered, forming groups of two in a triangular formation, sealing off Cang Jiu's retreat.

Seeing this, Cang Jiu's eyes split with rage.

It instantly transformed into its true form, becoming a hundred-meter-large eagle. Spreading its wings, it attempted to break the blockade and flee.

But at this moment, Ye Xiu was already coming, carrying the saber.

Slash.

The saber radiance fell.

One of Cang Jiu's wings was instantly sliced off.

It let out a painful wail, exploded all its blood energy, broke through the blockade, and fled rapidly into the distance.

"You can still fly with one wing?"

Ye Xiu mocked, carrying the golden saber radiance, and chased after it.

Puchi...

As the saber radiance swept past, the giant eagle's head was sliced off, and a purple Yao Crystal was again grabbed by him from the air.
