In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 648 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Seeing the burly man surnamed Quan being so cunning, the old demon with the ashen face was the first to become dissatisfied.

Just as he was about to speak, the ram-headed, human-bodied fellow pulled him back, first shaking his head at the old demon, then speaking to the burly man surnamed Quan:

"Fellow Daoist Quan, this woman is only at the initial stage of cultivation, yet she dares to challenge us alone. She must have something to rely on, so we must be careful."

Upon hearing this, the burly man surnamed Quan frowned and snorted, "What can they possibly rely on? I think it's just a bluff. Or perhaps Demon Wind Valley is just trying to save face."

The man with the head of a sheep and the body of a human advised again, "It's best to be cautious."

However, the burly man surnamed Quan didn't seem to care at all, and chuckled as he said:

"Let me make this clear from the start: if I enter the valley and none of you are capable of defeating that woman, then once you've obtained the treasure, don't bother competing with me for anything!"

Upon hearing this, both the ram-headed, human-bodied old demon and the grey-faced demon frowned.

The two-headed demons seemed to have given up on competing for the treasure and only wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a share of the spoils, so they didn't pay much attention to the words and actions of the burly man surnamed Quan.

As for the burly man surnamed Quan, the moment he finished speaking, demonic energy surged in his hand, condensing into a black claw shadow the size of a house, which went straight for his opponent.

The woman in white remained calm and composed, a gray halo emanating from her body. With a wave of her hand, a large number of wind blades shot out and collided with the black claw shadow.

However, upon contact, the wind blades shattered under the power of the black claw shadow.

The black claw shadow continued its relentless attack on the woman in white. The woman's expression changed slightly, and she retreated rapidly while simultaneously forming hand seals. A series of shimmering light mirrors with runes appeared in front of her.

When the black claw shadow was reflected on the mirror, countless miniature black claws flew out from the mirror and rushed straight at the giant black claw of the man surnamed Quan.

"You dare to show off your mere projection technique before our sect!" The burly man surnamed Quan sneered, but he increased the injection of demonic energy, making the black claw shadow even more powerful.

Even from a distance, those light mirrors shattered because they couldn't withstand its power.

Seeing this, the woman in white knew she was no match for them, so she flashed away and ran back into the formation.

"Pretending to be something you're not, still trying to leave!" With that, the burly man surnamed Quan flashed forward like lightning, rushing towards the woman in white.

Just as the woman in white was about to fly into the formation, the burly man surnamed Quan caught up behind her.

Just as he was about to use his magic to capture the woman in white, two more figures suddenly darted out from within the formation, both cloaked in black and their faces covered by hoods.

The two men appeared without saying a word. One of them brandished a jet-black demonic spear over ten feet long. With a flick of his wrist, the spear emitted a piercing scream and shot towards the burly man surnamed Quan.

The other person went directly behind the burly man surnamed Quan, and then a large shield appeared on his back, instantly growing to a height of over a hundred feet, like a small mountain, and smashed directly towards the burly man surnamed Quan.

The burly man surnamed Quan's expression changed, and he hurriedly cast a spell to defend himself.

However, the demonic spear was incredibly fast. Just as he raised his hand to summon a small bell to protect himself, the demonic spear had already pierced through.

The small bell was almost useless; it was pierced instantly and then exploded into a pile of fragments.

The burly man surnamed Quan was immediately alarmed, because in terms of toughness, that small bell was absolutely no less than any top-tier magical artifact.

Seeing that he could no longer avoid the demonic spear, the burly man could only desperately dodge, but the spear still grazed his shoulder. Before he could even feel the pain, half of his body had already exploded into a bloody mist under the terrifying power of the demonic spear.

what?

The burly man instinctively let out a scream, his eyes filled with terror.

But then another immense force pressed down on him. Looking up, he saw a towering mountain, hundreds of feet high, hurtling down. Before it even reached him, its terrifying power had already enveloped the burly man.

In addition, the big man had just been injured by the demonic spear and was now powerless to dodge.

In desperation, a hint of unwillingness flashed in the big man's eyes. A burst of demonic light erupted from his head, and he actually sent his nascent soul away. In a blur, he escaped hundreds of feet away, finally avoiding this fatal blow.

However, his physical body was completely crushed by Dunshan, and blood mist filled the air.

"The grudge of today—"

The young man's face was filled with resentment and venom, but before he could finish speaking, a streak of blood flashed past.

The nascent soul was instantly torn to pieces, and before it could even scream, it completely dissipated into the air.

All of this happened too fast. From the moment the burly man recklessly chased after the woman in white to the moment he was killed by the three demons of Demon Wind Valley, it was only a matter of a breath or two.

The three demons, with sheep heads and human bodies, realized something was wrong and tried to help, but it was too late.

While the burly man was dealing with the demonic spear and the shield mountain, the white-clad woman, who was originally no match for him and was fleeing, suddenly turned around and unleashed a beam of bloody light.

The moment Quan, the great man, emerged from his body, he was locked onto, leaving him no chance to react before being slain by a flash of blood.

Although it all happened suddenly, the three from Demon Wind Valley cooperated perfectly, clearly indicating that it had been planned in advance.

The woman in white waved her hand, and a blood-red light flew back, revealing itself to be a blood-red demonic sword.

The other two demons stood atop Shield Mountain, blocking the way. The other, wielding a demonic spear, pointed at the three ram-headed, human-bodied demons approaching from the side and rear.

Seeing the three demons from Demon Wind Valley forming a defensive formation, their attacks and defenses well-organized, and their expressions showing a readiness for battle, the three demons, one with a goat's head and the other with a human body, stopped in their tracks, their faces showing apprehension. They each summoned their demonic weapons to prepare for battle.

However, the three women in white did not make another move. After a quick movement, they retreated back into the formation.

The three demons with goat heads and human bodies turned grim upon seeing this, and dared not make a move. All the forces outside the valley witnessed this scene, and none of them stepped forward.

With his mid-stage Demon Sect cultivation, Quan was a powerful figure within a radius of tens of millions of miles, yet he was so easily killed, which was beyond everyone's imagination.

"Demon Wind Valley has a good method. They lured and killed that Quan fellow with lightning speed, which is enough to intimidate all the forces present. Now it will probably be difficult for us to unite with others." The old demon with the gray face turned gloomy.

"Yes, it seems like we've made a wasted trip."

"Alas, it was all due to Fellow Daoist Quan's carelessness. Otherwise, even if those three joined forces, with Fellow Daoist Quan's cultivation level, even if he couldn't defeat them, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to escape unscathed." The two-headed demon sighed, a hint of retreat creeping into his mind.

"It's not just because Fellow Daoist Quan was careless. Didn't you two notice that the demonic artifacts used by the three from Demon Wind Valley, judging from their power, would definitely be top-quality even among the best!" the ram-headed, human-bodied demon coldly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, the old demon with the ashen face and the two-headed demon both gleamed with excitement.

"Indeed, those demonic artifacts in their hands, could they be those that have already emerged from Demon Wind Valley?"

"In that case, there must be more than one great treasure in the valley that has yet to be revealed!"

"Logically, the last one to be born is the most precious!"

After some discussion, the other two guys who had already given up started to get restless again.
