237: A sneak attack? Hiding and revealing yourselves? You dare to challenge me?

The surviving Demonic Evils all froze in place, their crimson eyes filled with boundless horror and disbelief.

They looked at their companions, who had been full of life just a moment ago, now reduced to a tragic state of mangled flesh scattered across the ground.

Their minds went completely blank.

“Wh... what just happened?!” The Lizard Fiend abruptly retracted its claws, scanning the surroundings in utter terror, its voice distorted by extreme fear.

“Who is it?! Who's launching a sneak attack?!” The Bone-Spur Fiend was both shocked and enraged, the bone spurs all over its body standing on end, emitting strong defensive fluctuations.

“Su... such a terrifying attack! It killed them all in an instant...” The Vine Fiend's voice trembled, the vines wrapped around its body writhing uneasily.

“Who exactly is it?! Hiding like a coward—get the Hell out here!” the Lizard Fiend roared with false bravado, trying to find the attacker.

Meanwhile, the survivors Zhao Lei, Wang Meng, and Li Hao were also completely stunned.

They looked at the pile of still-warm bloody meat fragments before them, then looked up with shock and suspicion toward the direction the attack had come from.

On the steep rock wall on one side of the valley, a figure had appeared at some unknown point.

The person wore clean casual clothes and had an upright posture.

His expression was calm and indifferent, as if he were just a traveler passing through by chance, admiring the scenery.

It formed an incredibly eerie contrast with the bloody and chaotic environment around him.

The newcomer was none other than Chen Nian.

Seeing it was a human, Zhao Lei suddenly cried out, his eyes bursting with unbelievable ecstasy and excitement: “It's a human! There's no mistake! Reinforcements from Headquarters have definitely arrived!”

Wang Meng also trembled with excitement, his eyes welling with tears: “Such powerful strength; this is an absolute powerhouse beyond any doubt!”

“We're saved! We're really saved!” Li Hao also slumped to the ground, tears mixing with blood as they slid down his face—it was the ultimate relief of surviving a hopeless situation.

However, Chen Nian paid no heed to their joy.

Instead, his gaze indifferently swept over the dozens of suspicious and wary Demonic Evils below, who were acting as if facing a great enemy.

The corner of his mouth curled into a smirk of extreme contempt.

“Hiding like a coward?”

“Sneak attack?”

He shook his head slightly, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

“To kill trash like you, would I even need a sneak attack?”

His voice wasn't loud, yet it carried a cold majesty that clearly reached the ears of every Demonic Evil.

“Just now, I merely swatted a few noisy flies to death.”

“Now, it's your turn.”

With that, Chen Nian wasted no more words.

He took a step forward, his body vanishing as if teleporting, and in the next instant, he appeared directly in the center of the group of Demonic Evils.

The Demonic Evils were instantly thrown into a panic, their clamor never-ending.

However, Chen Nian gave them no time to be shocked and threw a punch directly.

“BOOM—!!!”

Accompanied by a deafening roar.

The several Demonic Evils nearby didn't even have time to scream before their bodies directly exploded!

Red and white, bone fragments and brain matter mixed with foul-smelling blood, splattered outward in a radial pattern!

Seeing this, another wave of terrified screams erupted on the scene.

However, this was only the beginning.

Chen Nian's figure left a faint afterimage in place, and in the next instant, he appeared on the left.

A simple, unadorned side kick.

“BOOM—!!!”

Another burst of powerful force exploded, and the bodies of several nearby Demonic Evils directly burst, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

“Run! Run away!!”

“He's not human! He's a monster!!”

The Demonic Evils were completely frightened out of their wits, their terrified screams and wails blending together.

They no longer dared to harbor the slightest thought of surrounding him, fleeing for their lives in all directions like hornets from a disturbed nest!

Hunting humans, rewards from the Demon Lord—in the face of absolute fear of death, it all became a joke.

They only wanted to get as far away from this star of calamity as possible!

“Want to run?”

The corners of Chen Nian's mouth pulled back in a cruel and excited arc, his eyes flickering with the playful light of a cat toying with a mouse.

“Weren't you quite arrogant just now?”

“Now you know how to run?”

“Too late!”

His figure blurred again, fast enough to transcend visual capture.

Every flash was accompanied by the shrill scream of at least one Demonic Evil and the dull thud of a body bursting.

A Bat-Winged Demon had just flapped its wings and risen several meters, wanting to rely on flight to escape.

However, Chen Nian just casually flicked his hand.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Several condensed blood-colored threads flew out rapidly, slicing it into countless pieces of meat.

A Pangolin Fiend skilled in burrowing had just submerged half its body into the soil, wanting to escape underground.

“Boom!”

Chen Nian stepped down directly.

The ground caved in with a roar, and the violent force penetrated the earth, instantly vibrating the underground fiend into a puddle of meat paste.

“No! My Lord, have mercy! We know we were wrong! We won't ever do it again!”

“Please let us go! We are willing to serve you as slaves! We'll give up everything!”

Several Demonic Evils driven to desperation were covered in tears and snot, kneeling and kowtowing desperately, pressing their heads firmly into the bloodstains, offering pleas for mercy that were humble to the extreme.

They even began to betray their companions:

“The Demon Lord forced us! We had no choice!”

“As long as you let us go, we are willing to lead the way to find the Demon Lord!”

“Please give us a chance!”

However, Chen Nian turned a deaf ear to this, his eyes filled only with amusement and cruelty.

“I give you a chance.”

“Who gave the people killed by you a chance?”

“Go to Hell and repent!”

Before his voice finished, he directly threw a punch through the air.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The pleas for mercy stopped abruptly as the upper bodies of those Demonic Evils exploded like fireworks.

The lower halves of their corpses wobbled for a moment before falling to the ground.

The massacre continued.

Chen Nian's figure was like a ghost, weaving through the fleeing crowd of Demonic Evils.

Wherever he passed, flesh and blood flew, severed limbs fell like rain, and the sounds of screams and explosions played a cruel symphony of death.

He wasn't just clearing out enemies; he was enjoying the thrill of the hunt under the crushing weight of absolute power.

Enjoying the dramatic transformation of the Demonic Evils from arrogant to desperate, from hunters to prey.

He even deliberately slowed down the killing speed for some Demonic Evils, letting them flee a few more steps in extreme terror.

Then, just as they thought they saw a glimmer of hope, he would end them in an even more cruel manner.

“Yes, that's it, run faster, run even faster!”

“It wouldn't be any fun if you didn't run!”

Chen Nian had a cruel smile on his face, his voice sounding as if it came from the Nine Serene Frost Springs.

“Look at yourselves now—don't you look just like the humans you were hunting earlier?”

“How does it feel to have the tables turned? Not bad, right?”

The Demonic Evils were scared to death, their very Souls trembling.

They realized.

This human wasn't here to rescue anyone; he was simply a demon god who took pleasure in slaughter and fear!

In less than a minute, dozens of fierce Demonic Evils were almost completely slaughtered!

The entire valley had turned into a literal living Hell on earth.

The ground was soaked with viscous blood, and shattered internal organs hung from twisted branches.

Severed limbs and remains could be seen everywhere, and the stench of blood was so strong it almost felt tangible.

Silence.

A silence even more deathly than before enveloped this bloody valley.

Of course, not all the Demonic Evils had been killed.

The three leading Sixth-Tier Demonic Evils had been specifically left alive by Chen Nian for now.

They were covered in blood, standing frozen in the middle of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

Their massive bodies were covered in the mangled flesh and foul blood of their companions, their appearance wretched and tragic to the extreme.

Their previous ferocity and arrogance had long since vanished, leaving only boundless fear and daze in their eyes.

Their bodies trembled violently from extreme horror.

Chen Nian looked down at them from above, the curve of his mouth becoming increasingly cruel.

“Just now, it seemed someone said I was ‘hiding like a coward’? Said I was using a ‘sneak attack’?”

“Now, I am standing right in front of you.”

“What are you going to do about it?”
