The murderous intention of Zhou Tianwang

The eighth-tier Ancient Demon at this moment raised its other demon axe and chopped down again, heading straight for Zhou Yuan!

The giant axe, hundreds of feet in size, descended from the sky, directly towards Zhou Yuan. Wherever the giant axe passed, space collapsed madly, and killing intent surged!

Before the giant axe arrived, the fierce wind had already reached, and Zhou Yuan instantly felt a bone-chilling coldness sweep around him.

Those fierce winds were like wind blades, intending to tear him to shreds!

This strike was too terrifying; he couldn't block it!

Zhou Yuan didn't hesitate at all. He activated Shadow Leap, avoiding this strike.

With a loud 'boom', the massive axe directly struck the ground of Saint Symbol City, causing the entire Saint Symbol City to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

Where the demon axe struck, the ground directly exploded, forming a deep pit tens of meters long.

A thousand-foot-long gully continuously extended forward along the direction where the demon axe struck.

Everything in front of the gully was destroyed, and the houses on both sides all collapsed, turning into ruins!

This strike was terrifying!

Zhou Yuan looked at the Ancient Demon in the sky, his eyes extremely solemn. This Ancient Demon was much stronger than the one he had just killed!

“Human brat, go to hell!”

That Ancient Demon roared, its right demon axe raised again, and it chopped down another axe strike towards Zhou Yuan!

Zhou Yuan's eyes were cold. Did it really think he couldn't kill it? It was just that the cost would be a bit high!

He activated Shadow Leap and once again avoided the Ancient Demon's attack.

Just as Zhou Yuan was about to make his move, a surge of demonic energy swept in from the distant sky. A massive demon beast army appeared in the distance.

Leading this demon beast army was the Profound Armor Vajra Monkey, whom Zhou Yuan was familiar with, and by its side was Wang Qing!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yuan didn't hesitate at all. His body flickered, and he directly appeared beside Qiao Songzi and Guo Hengquan.

“Fellow Daoist Qiao, retreat!”

Qiao Songzi naturally noticed the arrival of the demon beasts. He had been somewhat hesitant, but upon hearing Zhou Yuan's words, he quickly nodded.

Guo Hengquan looked at Zhou Yuan, a curious expression in his eyes.

However, Guo Hengquan only glanced at him, then immediately gave the order for the Guo Family and Qiao family members to retreat.

The disciples of the Guo and Qiao families threw out Talismans one after another, then withdrew and followed behind Zhou Yuan and the others, fleeing into the distance.

At this moment, countless demon beasts had already charged into the Demon Race. Wang Qing directly confronted the eighth-tier Ancient Demon that was fighting Zhou Yuan!

“Zi Ying, Stone Valley Wind, come back!”

Zhou Yuan spoke to Zi Ying and Stone Valley Wind, who were battling in the sky. The two had actually seen everything already, and the moment Zhou Yuan spoke, they immediately flew away.

Zhou Yuan no longer hesitated, leading them towards the less populated areas of the Demon Race!

As for the scattered Demon Race members they encountered along the way, they were all slain.

Just as Zhou Yuan was leading the Qiao family and Guo Family members to retreat, several cold gazes in the distant sky silently watched everything unfold.

These individuals were none other than Zhou Heavenly King and his group. Besides Seventh Elder Zhou Xiaoshan, Zhou Zhiming, and a few others, there was also a special Black-Clothed Man!

This Black-Clothed Man also possessed the aura of the Dongtian Realm!

They were hiding in the void, and the reason they could remain undetected was due to a special secret treasure on Zhou Heavenly King's person.

This secret treasure was a Quasi-Saint Weapon called the fixed heaven pearl, and the place they were currently in was inside the fixed heaven pearl.

This Quasi-Saint Weapon was refined by the Zhou Family Old Ancestor using the remnant soul of a gluttonous beast and numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Although it was not an offensive supreme treasure, it was still extremely powerful.

The fixed heaven pearl could traverse the void; this single point alone made it a supreme treasure!

Zhou Heavenly King dared to stay and was not in a hurry to leave, his greatest reliance was this fixed heaven pearl.

It could be said that if he wanted to leave, even a Cave Heaven Realm Peak might not be able to stop him!

“Seven Elder, have you contacted Sixth Elder and the others?”

Zhou Heavenly King spoke, a trace of vexation on his face!

Originally, according to the plan, Zhou Heavenly King and his group should have retreated after activating the Formation connecting to the Outer Territory Battlefield.

However, Sixth Elder and his group suddenly lost contact, forcing them to change their plans.

The invasion of the demon beasts was something Zhou Heavenly King had never expected.

Seventh Elder Zhou Xiaoshan's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing Zhou Heavenly King's words, and he shook his head. He had tried to contact them multiple times but had failed.

At this moment, the Black-Clothed Man spoke, “Now that demons are everywhere here, even a Dongtian Realm expert falling is a normal occurrence!”

“I think we should leave, lest we delay things too long!”

The Black-Clothed Man's voice was that of a woman, flat and devoid of any emotion!

Zhou Heavenly King's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing the Black-Clothed Woman's words, then a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes!

“Go, kill that Zhou Yuan, I want to bring his Primordial Spirit back to the Zhou Family!”

“This person has a spatial supreme treasure on him, which must also be obtained!”

Seventh Elder Zhou Xiaoshan and the others nodded slightly upon hearing Zhou Heavenly King's words, and a hint of killing intent flashed in their eyes!

This Zhou Yuan had mastered a special method for refining Talismans, and this method must be kept within the Zhou Family's grasp.

Zhou Cang sighed inwardly. He already knew who Zhou Yuan was—the person he had discovered back then, whose Bloodline Power could rival that of the Zhou Family Old Ancestor.

But now that Zhou Heavenly King wanted to kill him, he couldn't stop it.

However, it was fortunate that his Primordial Spirit could be preserved, which could be considered leaving a sliver of hope!

Zhou Heavenly King activated the fixed heaven pearl and pursued Zhou Yuan in the direction he was fleeing, his eyes filled with killing intent.

He had just witnessed Zhou Yuan slaying an eighth-tier Ancient Demon, which filled Zhou Heavenly King with immense jealousy.

He had already learned from Zhou Cang that Zhou Yuan also possessed the Zhou Family Bloodline within his body.

This made him even more furious, and also added a touch of fear, as he thought of something.

There was a legend in the Zhou Family: after many years, a peerless Prodigy would emerge in the Zhou Family, whose achievements would even far surpass those of the Old Ancestor.

Moreover, his father had an illegitimate son outside, and according to Zhou Heavenly King's understanding, that illegitimate son was very likely Zhou Yuan.

Initially, Zhou Cang was ordered to find that person, which was why he went to the Songhu Region!

The more outstanding Zhou Yuan was, the more hatred grew in his heart. He would never let Zhou Yuan live.

When he proposed killing Zhou Yuan, Zhou Cang, Zhou Zhiming, and Seventh Elder Zhou Xiaoshan all objected, citing that Zhou Yuan had mastered a special Path of Talismans.

But Zhou Heavenly King knew very well that they all wanted to protect Zhou Yuan and bring him back to the clan.

If Zhou Yuan was truly his father's illegitimate son, and even possessed a Bloodline comparable to the Old Ancestor's, then his own future would be in danger.

Those old geezers in the clan would never watch Zhou Yuan die; they would even find him the strongest Physical Body!

Zhou Heavenly King must kill him, destroy his soul, and absolutely not let him live!

But he wouldn't say this out loud, as he still needed to leverage the power of the Elders.

Zhou Heavenly King sneered inwardly. Only by seeing the other party's soul scatter would he be able to truly rest easy!
