227: Ancient secrets!

"Scattering Beans into Soldiers?"

Seeing thousands of Giant Tigers suddenly appear around Xia Fan, the pseudo-seventh-rank Demon Soldier immediately showed a shocked expression, staring for a long while, seemingly unable to react.

The other Demon Soldiers were even more terrified, "This... this is an immortal art!"

"How can Tiger Brother use such an immortal art? And judging by the appearance of these thousands of Giant Tigers, each one isn't weak!"

They liked and were good at group actions, finding it particularly enjoyable to bully the weak. Now, seeing Xia Fan suddenly gain so many helpers, they were somewhat flustered. After all, just moments ago, they were ganging up on him, but now the situation had completely reversed.

The pressure instantly shifted to the Demon Soldiers.

"This is..."

The pseudo-seventh-rank Demon Soldier pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lighting up, "This is the unique skill of the Weak Water War God!"

After regaining his senses, the expression in his eyes grew even more surprised, "You are actually the inheritor of the Weak Water War God?"

Across from him, Xia Fan looked at the reactions of the strong Demon Soldier and the many Demon Soldiers, not surprised. Instead, he remained very calm from beginning to end.

This Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations could be said to be one of his most top-tier potential abilities, besides his Devouring Talent, with infinite development.

Later on, this Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations could even allow him to comprehend abilities like "Orchestrating Creation" and "Bringing the Dead Back to Life," making it incredibly powerful.

However, Xia Fan was also unsure when he would truly be able to comprehend it.

"Kill!"

"Leave none alive!"

Amidst the terrified expressions of the Demon Soldiers, Xia Fan didn't utter a single unnecessary word, directly issuing orders to the thousands of Giant Tigers.

Almost instantly, the latter charged towards the group of Demon Soldiers. Screams immediately erupted throughout the field, and fear spread relentlessly.

As for Xia Fan himself, he confronted the four strong Demon Soldiers, including the pseudo-seventh-rank Demon Soldier.

"Go!"

With a soft shout from him, the Diamond Cutter was thrown into the air. As it spun, it directly collected all the weapons of the Demon Soldiers, once again severely deterring the opponents and simultaneously causing these Demon Soldiers to lose some of their reliance, leading to a reduction in their combat power.

"Next, it's our battle!"

Xia Fan briefly glanced at the four strong Demon Soldiers, including the pseudo-seventh-rank Demon Soldier, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned the eastern emperor bell, directly suppressing this space and preventing any of them from escaping.

Then, he raised his claw, and black lightning instantly erupted, heading straight for the four strong Demon Soldiers.

Crackling—

Amidst the surging thunder, Xia Fan directly struck one of the sixth-rank strong Demon Soldiers. Before the opponent could react, he unleashed bursts of dazzling light. He then used his Wind Manipulation Technique to close in and struck with a claw.

Pfft!

In an instant, this sixth-rank strong Demon Soldier died on the spot, without even a chance to escape.

Even though he was currently in a one-versus-four situation, he could still unleash such terrifying power, astonishing the other strong Demon Soldiers.

"Trying to run?"

"Did this king say you could leave?"

Seeing a sixth-rank strong Demon Soldier preparing to flee, Xia Fan snorted coldly. The black lightning instantly descended. He then struck the eastern emperor bell, and its melodious chime caused the strong Demon Soldier's head to ache intensely, before he was blasted apart by the black lightning!

In a short time, he had directly killed three of the weaker individuals, and even the pseudo-seventh-rank strong Demon Soldier was severely wounded!

As for the Demon Soldiers, they were crushed by the tiger soldiers conjured by Scattering Beans into Soldiers, with almost no power to fight back!

"Do you really want to be endlessly hostile with our race?"

The pseudo-seventh-rank strong Demon Soldier, covered in wounds, looked at Xia Fan with a complex expression, "Besides, doing this won't benefit you!"

"How many Demon Soldiers are still within this seal?"

Xia Fan indeed temporarily ceased his attack, which brought a moment of pleasant surprise to the pseudo-seventh-rank strong Demon Soldier. However, upon hearing Xia Fan's next question, he felt a mix of bitterness and hesitation, "And how were you sealed here?"

"Tell me everything you know. Don't say this king isn't giving you a chance!"

"This..."

The pseudo-seventh-rank strong Demon Soldier hesitated, as this concerned the dignity of the Demon race.

Seeing this, Xia Fan didn't hesitate, directly unleashing a bolt of heavenly lightning, "Speak, or die!"

"Ah..."

The strong Demon Soldier instantly cried out in pain, his entire body trembling violently. Seeing Xia Fan about to strike again, he immediately spoke in a panic, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"Please don't attack yet!"

The pseudo-seventh-rank strong Demon Soldier saw Xia Fan slightly withdraw his hand and immediately let out a sigh of relief, thinking, "Anyway, this isn't a big secret. Almost all the remaining Demon Soldiers know something about it. Telling him won't hurt."

Thinking this, he said to Xia Fan, "We are actually the vanguard of the Demon race, led by Marshal Zhurong, planning to invade the Immortal Realm. We even made many preparations for this."

"However, before that war even began, our entire race was sealed here by Mother Earth."

"Mother Earth? Who is that?"

The pseudo-seventh-rank strong Demon Soldier shook his head, "Mother Earth cannot be referred to as a person; she is simply incredibly powerful."

"In the past, our Demon Soldiers engaged in extensive slaughter. This act displeased Mother Earth, who even defeated Marshal Zhurong, which is why we remain to this day."

"When that rift appeared, we sensed its aura and came out, and then we encountered you."

"So that's how it is!"

Xia Fan showed a look of sudden realization upon hearing this, then said thoughtfully, "It seems you don't know what happened afterward."

Seeing him nod, Xia Fan pressed further, "So, your Marshal is still alive?"

"The Marshal is naturally alive!"

Speaking of this, the pseudo-seventh-rank strong Demon Soldier's eyes shone with pride, "Though the Marshal was defeated, he is immortal!"

Xia Fan was quite disdainful of his reaction and somewhat questioned this matter, "Since he's still alive, why hasn't your Marshal shown himself until now?"

"This..."

The pseudo-seventh-rank strong Demon Soldier was momentarily speechless, but after some thought, he still explained with a forced smile, "Because after all these years, although the seal here has weakened, due to the immense consumption of power by the Marshal and many Demon Lords previously, they are currently in collective seclusion to recover!"

"They had to go into seclusion to break through the grand formation!"

Hearing this, Xia Fan remained noncommittal and didn't fully believe it. He knew that what this fellow said was definitely half-truths and half-falsehoods.

Take Marshal Zhurong and the Demon Lords, for instance. If they truly existed, their current state wouldn't be as simple as 'immense consumption of power'; perhaps it was due to other reasons that these strong individuals couldn't appear yet.

Otherwise, given the personalities of this pseudo-seventh-rank strong Demon Soldier and other Demon Soldiers, they would absolutely not let any opportunity slip by.

At this moment, the Magic Cat, seeing him deep in thought, suddenly asked, "Tiger Brother, are you thinking of... entering that rift?"

Xia Fan immediately smiled, then nodded, "You really understand me!"
