234: Even a sneak attack requires skill!

Hearing this, the Demonic Evils were suddenly greatly alarmed, having completely lost their previous arrogant aura.

They all became terrified, shivering like lambs targeted by a fierce tiger, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Just then, a Fifth-Rank Demonic Evil Leader, covered in scales and missing a horn, was the first to break the silence.

It scrambled and crawled, throwing itself onto the ground, pressing its head firmly into the pool of blood, and humbly begged for mercy:

"My Lord! My Lord, spare me!"

"We know we were wrong, we will never dare to be your enemy again. Please, raise your hand high and let us ants go!"

Hearing this, the other Demonic Evils who had luckily survived also seemed to have grasped a straw for life, following suit one after another.

They chimed in, tears and snot streaming down their faces.

"Yes, my Lord, we were all forced into this; it was the Demon Lord who forced us to come!"

"We are willing to submit, we are willing to be your servants!"

"Please give us a chance to turn over a new leaf!"

However, Chen Nian just smiled contemptuously, his eyes as cold as ten-thousand-year ice: "Did I tell you to speak?"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and dark red flames instantly burst forth.

Like a fire snake possessing life, it precisely coiled around those Demonic Evils who were most active in begging for mercy!

"Ahhhh—!"

"No! My Lord, spare me!"

The Demonic Evils covered by the flames immediately let out wails of extreme misery.

They struggled and rolled desperately, attempting to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

However, how could the Heaven-Burning Flame be ordinary fire?

The flames were like maggots on a bone; no matter how they patted them or activated their Evil Energy, they could not be extinguished.

Instead, they burned brighter and brighter, crazily scorching their flesh, bones, and even their Soul!

Their skin and flesh sizzled as they burned, emitting a charred, foul odor.

Within a few breaths, those Demonic Evils turned into charcoal amidst their incomparably painful screams.

Then they disintegrated into flying ash that filled the sky!

Seeing this horrifying scene, the remaining Demonic Evils were instantly so frightened that their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, their livers and gallbladders shattered.

Each of them was pale as earth, their whole bodies trembling like a sieve.

At this point, they didn't even dare to make a slight whimpering sound.

Everyone desperately curled up their bodies, trying to lower their sense of presence.

They even wished they could burrow into a crack in the ground.

Fearing that they might attract the slightest attention from that God of Slaughter.

However, Chen Nian turned a blind eye to the tragic state beneath his feet.

He walked forward slowly, like a Grim Reaper pacing, and finally stopped in front of the three heavily injured, dying Seventh-Tier Demon.

These three arrogant Evil Spirit Commander were now covered in wounds, with broken bones and severed tendons, their surrounding Evil Energy dimmed to the extreme, looking incomparably miserable.

However, Chen Nian did not care about their miserable state at all, and said directly from a high position: "I ask, you answer."

His gaze fell upon the leading Skeletal Demon Lizard.

"Some of our people are lost in the Barrier."

"Where are they now? Are they dead or alive?"

The Skeletal Demon Lizard's huge head hung low; it seemed to lack even the strength to lift it.

It could only make a weak and hoarse sound: "Th... they... were caught... by the Demon Lord..."

Its voice was intermittent, full of pain and weakness, as if it would completely expire in the next second.

However—the next second.

A sudden change occurred!

The Skeletal Demon Lizard, which was dying just a second ago and seemed like it could drop dead at any moment.

In its pair of originally dim vertical pupils, a blood-red light of extreme resentment and madness suddenly burst forth!

"Go to hell, human!!!" It let out a heart-rending roar.

Inside its massive body, it seemed as if something instantly ignited and exploded!

A terrifying Evil Energy, far exceeding its current heavily injured state, mixed with its life Origin, erupted from its broken body like a volcanic eruption!

"Swish—!!!"

Its sharp claws, carrying the extreme killing intent to pierce the Void Realm and annihilate the Soul, fiercely attacked Chen Nian's face at close range!

The speed was so fast that it seemed as if the attack had arrived just as the thought was formed!

The power was so strong that the surrounding space emitted faint, wailing sounds of being torn apart!

After all, this was the Skeletal Demon Lizard's trump card, its unique ultimate skill—【Soul-Burning Slash】!

At the moment when it seemed like it was at the end of its rope, with no power to resist, which most easily makes the enemy lower their guard.

Burning all remaining life Origin and Soul power, it launched this desperate strike that exceeded its own limits!

Relying on this insidious and vicious sneak attack, it had many times counter-killed strong enemies or escaped from desperate situations, always succeeding!

The remaining Demonic Evils immediately saw a final ray of hope in their despair.

Pathological fanaticism and anticipation erupted in their eyes!

However, facing this extremely vicious sneak attack at such close range.

There was not even a trace of surprise or fear on Chen Nian's face.

He even smiled contemptuously, as if he had seen something ridiculous.

"How truly ridiculous!"

Just as the sharp claws containing destructive power were about to touch his brow—

He just casually raised his hand and lightly chopped at the Skeletal Demon Lizard's thick arm joint!

The action was understated, as if brushing dust off his sleeve.

However.

"Swish—!!!"

A condensed golden light blade flashed by, so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to capture!

"Puchi—!"

Accompanied by the sound of flesh being cut.

The Skeletal Demon Lizard's right arm, which had gathered all its strength and was about to deliver a fatal blow, was severed at the shoulder!

And even more terrifyingly, the moment the arm was severed, it seemed to have been injected with some kind of energy—

"Boom—!!!!!"

The Skeletal Demon Lizard's severed arm actually exploded in mid-air.

The violent energy instantly backfired, blowing half of the Skeletal Demon Lizard's body into a bloody mess, with bone fragments splattering everywhere!

"Ahhhhh—!!!"

The Skeletal Demon Lizard let out a painful wail a hundred times more miserable than when it was heavily injured before.

Its massive body convulsed violently, and black filthy blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain!

However, Chen Nian did not give it any chance to catch its breath or regret.

His right hand reached out as fast as lightning, his five fingers like hooks, firmly grabbing the Skeletal Demon Lizard's hideous head!

Chen Nian looked at the dilapidated lizard head and said contemptuously: "Like to sneak attack? Pity, sneak attacks also require strength."

"A piece of trash like you struggling before death is completely meaningless, just adding to the joke!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for the Skeletal Demon Lizard to respond at all, his five fingers tightened suddenly!

"Bang—!!!!!"

Like crushing a ripe watermelon, the Skeletal Demon Lizard's hard skull shattered instantly under Chen Nian's seemingly casual grip!

Red, white, broken bone, rotten flesh... mixed together, splattering radially in all directions!

【Ding! Killed Seventh-Tier Demon 'Skeletal Demon Lizard', gained 38891 points!】

The System's notification sound rang crisply in Chen Nian's mind.

Silence!

A deathly silence once again enveloped the entire scene!

The remaining Demonic Evils watched as their strongest, Lord Skeletal Demon Lizard, was instantly killed in such a miserable and undignified manner.

Even its final life-saving ultimate skill became a joke.

They were all so scared that their Souls fled, wetting themselves, completely frozen in place, forgetting even how to tremble!

And Chen Nian casually shook off the red and white matter stained on his hand, as if he had just swatted a pesky fly.

He slowly turned his head, his cold gaze like the stare of a Grim Reaper, sweeping towards the other two Seventh-Tier Demon who were limp on the ground, trembling like sieves—the Corrosive Poison Spider Queen and the Shadow Bat King.

His voice was not loud, but it carried a chill that froze the Soul, as he slowly asked: "Now, it's your turn."
