236: Forgetting one's roots

Dozens of massive demonic beasts charged out of the spatial rift with an imposing aura!

The leading demonic beast actually felt a bit familiar to Fang Bai!

Feeling the spatial fluctuations on the opponent, Fang Bai understood.

The opponent's aura was somewhat similar to the Space Demon God!

It seems they are of the same race!

That demon god had already reached the seventh-rank cultivation, and it was even at the peak seventh rank!

A Space Element peak seventh rank!

No wonder Su Ya was no match for it and could only flee.

Su Ya's strength had also improved, but he was ultimately only at the late seventh rank, still quite a bit behind the peak seventh rank.

Besides that Space Element Seventh-Tier Demon King, there were four other demon kings!

With this lineup, it was already quite a feat for Su Ya to escape.

"Jie jie jie! I didn't expect a heavily injured body to be so good at running!"

The spatial demon king looked at Su Ya mockingly.

The other demonic beasts had already surrounded the two of them.

Su Ya's expression was grave, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes!

With his current condition, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.

So he stepped forward, shielding Fang Bai behind him, and said in a low voice, "I'll hold them off, you run. If possible, tell The Authorities that Outpost 200 was attacked by the Demon Race, the evacuation failed, and losses were heavy, but... not a single person feared the battle!"

Boom!

As he finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from his body; Su Ya was actually going to burn his own power to briefly boost his strength!

Just then, a hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"Interrupting for a moment, let me ask you, where is A Xiu?"

Fang Bai spoke calmly, completely disregarding the surrounding demonic beasts.

Su Ya was stunned, then quickly said, "A Xiu was out training with me. We received orders from superiors to support the outpost. During the Demon Race's assault, we got separated. I'm not sure if she's still alive."

"How is her strength now?"

Fang Bai inquired.

"fifth rank! She has already cultivated to the fifth rank!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Su Ya's mouth. "As expected of my disciple, rising two ranks in three months. Haha, even if I die, I'll have no regrets."

Hearing about A Xiu's current state, Fang Bai breathed a sigh of relief. With A Xiu's intelligence, she shouldn't die so easily. In that case, he had to go and save the day.

He then patted Su Ya's shoulder. "Please lead the way."

"Huh?"

Su Ya was instantly bewildered.

No, Buddy, lead the way where? Can't you see several demon kings eyeing us hungrily?

Lead you to the Road to the Underworld?

Meanwhile, the spatial demon king said coldly, "Are your last words finished? If so, it's time to be on your way!"

Fang Bai suddenly looked at it. "Did I fucking ask you to speak?!"

Swish!

In the next instant, several pitch-black figures suddenly appeared behind the demon kings, striking with extremely fierce speed!

The pupils of the leading spatial demon king contracted. It was the strongest, yet it still felt a thick aura of death!

It immediately cast Spatial Lock!

However, given the massive gap in strength, the spatial demon king's advantage wasn't significant, especially when facing the King of Bugs, Fang Bai!

Space shattered, and the spatial demon king's body was sent flying as if struck by lightning!

Aside from it, the other demon kings and demonic beasts were all instantly killed!

Instant kill!

Seeing this, Su Ya was completely petrified!

Wait, is this right?

Those were five Seventh-Tier Demon Kings!

Four of them were just instantly killed like that?

When did this young man become so strong?

Su Ya couldn't help but recall that when they first met, Fang Bai was just a rookie like a child in his eyes. How long had it fucking been?

Not even half a year!

Instantly killing these demon kings meant Fang Bai's strength was at least at the eighth rank!

He had directly surpassed him by a whole major realm!

Simply outrageous!

Fang Bai patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be surprised, it's just standard procedure."

Su Ya: ...Standard procedure my ass!

But he had to admit, the guy really pulled off that flex.

After instantly killing the demonic beasts, Fang Bai also harvested a wave of energy feedback. However, he was a bit disappointed; as expected, after breaking through to the eighth rank, killing demonic beasts below that rank could no longer provide him with effective Alien Energy.

To go a step further, he would have to kill Demon Lord-level demonic beasts!

Of course, quantity can lead to quality; killing several hundred demon kings would also work.

Without thinking much, Fang Bai took a step forward, and his figure appeared before that spatial demon king!

The latter was now heavily injured, charred black all over, and in a wretched state.

It looked at Fang Bai with fear. "Are you an Eighth-Rank Expert?"

Fang Bai grinned. "Didn't you notice from the start?"

Spatial demon king: ...You fucking hid your aura, how was I supposed to see?

Fang Bai raised his hand and threw a punch!

Simple, pure, and powerful force blasted in front of the opponent in an instant!

The latter quickly exerted its power, using Spatial Folding for layers of protection!

But Fang Bai's power was too strong, not something it could withstand at all!

Another explosion sounded, and the spatial demon king flew far away!

Under Fang Bai's assault, the spatial demon king was being beaten like a child! It had absolutely no power to fight back!

Watching this, Su Ya couldn't help but gulp. "What kind of monster is this!"

Overwhelming power, and a dual-element eighth rank at that—how on earth did he cultivate?

In less than five minutes, the spatial demon king was beaten to death by Fang Bai!

[Ding! Killed peak seventh rank demon king x1, obtained a medium amount of Alien Energy.]

Fang Bai estimated that the feedback from this spatial demon king alone was comparable to the sum of all the others.

"Um... could you give me the corpse of this demon king?"

Su Ya, not far away, suddenly asked.

Fang Bai glanced at him, then immediately put away the corpse and gave Su Ya the middle finger. "Dream on! You want to eat and take it to go? This Young Master saved you, how do you plan to repay me!"

"Huh?"

Su Ya was caught off guard by Fang Bai's sudden change in attitude.

Wasn't it reasonable to give a demon king's corpse, given their relationship?

Fang Bai: "What are you dazing for? Hurry up and give me some benefits! Considering you're A Xiu's master, hmm... just give me ten thousand spirit plants and ten demon king demon crystals."

Su Ya's face turned black. "Holy shit! Why don't you just rob me? Where would I get so many things?!"

"Rob?"

Fang Bai's eyes lit up. "You have a point! It's a robbery! Hand over your space ring!"

Fang Bai didn't care who the other person was. He had saved him; forget resources and supplies, even his life belonged to him!

Life's first lesson: forgetting one's roots!

Su Ya's mouth twitched. "Um... I'm a Deputy of the Evil-Slaying Law Enforcement. Wouldn't it be bad to extort me?"

Fang Bai pulled out his second-class merit. "I'm a hero of the country. One word: you giving it or not?"

Su Ya was eventually forced to give his treasures to Fang Bai as a "thank-you gift."

"By the way, take me to your outpost."

Fang Bai suddenly added, using a tone as if ordering a subordinate.

Su Ya: ...He got angry for a moment in a fit of anger.
