Chapter 1372 Not a Stone Allowed to Be Stepped On

Stars fell from the sky, and lightning flashed wildly.

Thunder and stars hung high in the sky, countless lightning bolts darted and roamed, and purple lightning flashed incessantly, turning the once ethereal valley and surrounding hundreds of miles into a scene of utter devastation.

Above the valley, Jiang Han stood in mid-air beneath the stars, with flying swords swirling around him and a thunder dragon phantom roaring behind him. His azure-gold flying sword hovered beside him, and he held the Thunderclap Sword, looking down at the six great demons below.

Without any unnecessary movements, lightning flashed and appeared in the surrounding void, and dark clouds covered the sky for thousands of miles, which in the blink of an eye gathered into a dark cloud that completely enveloped the entire valley.

Although he wasn't going all out at this moment, the thunderous stars that stretched across the sky were enough to awe people, not to mention the fourteen top-grade true spirit treasures flying swords that gleamed with cold light.

Despite his apparent cultivation level being only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the pressure Jiang Han was releasing at this moment was comparable to that of the peak late-stage Nascent Soul realm!

Such combat power would rank among the top even on the second level of the Immortal Palace, and no one would dare to ignore it.

Click!

A flash of lightning illuminated six terrified faces.

Sensing that the entrance to this place was about to open, the eight demon cultivators immediately drove away the others, took over the valley together, set up an array, and planned to take advantage of the visitor's momentary lapse in concentration to launch a sneak attack and steal his treasures.

Normally, those who can fight their way to this point on the first level either possess valuable magical treasures or have strong bloodlines; each of them is a formidable fighter.

However, they also charged up from the first level, and with their combined attack, the opponent would have little chance of fighting back.

In addition, given their extensive experience, such a well-prepared encirclement and attack has virtually no chance of failure.

But who would have thought that the one who came this time was such a powerful being? Before they even saw him, he broke their formation with a single sword strike, and also killed one of his demon cultivator companions. As for the other one who was knocked away, he probably wouldn't survive either.

"This fellow Taoist..."

There were six demon cultivators remaining, led by a colorful lizard that was ten feet tall.

At this moment, its entire body color kept changing, and it raised its head somewhat reservedly and said:

"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us."

It glanced around at the others, chuckled awkwardly, and said, "We gathered here intending to deal with others, but we didn't expect to offend you, fellow Daoist..."

If the other party is an ordinary person, it won't lower its stance and will just bite the bullet and go for it.

But the person who came happened to be a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

As everyone knows, after the opening of the Celestial Palace, under the manifestation of the rules, their cultivation levels were all restricted to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and they could not use any means beyond this realm.

However, he was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet he managed to break through the encirclement of a group of late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivators and even reached the second level unscathed.

It's easy to imagine what a monstrous talent this opponent is. Regardless of their cultivation level, their combat power is at least enough to crush someone in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

In addition, the opponent's ruthless and decisive actions clearly showed that he was a vicious and extremely powerful monster, and it had no intention of fighting to the death with such a person.

But just then, another bear demon asked in surprise:

"Brother, what are we afraid of! There are six of us, and each of us is a realm higher than him. As long as we are careful, we can definitely kill him!"

Unbelievable! This old bear is so stupid! Didn't he see the stars flashing with lightning? Didn't he see the fourteen deadly flying swords?

They even killed him; it's still unknown who killed whom!

The lizard demon's colors shifted, and it glanced at the bear demon with annoyance, asking telepathically:

"Kill him, and then what?"

"Look at those things around him. Each one is a simple weapon, but their power is definitely not small. Let alone whether we can kill him, even if we do succeed, have you thought about how many of us would survive?"

Especially that small, cyan-gold flying sword—it had clearly seen it slice off the old cat's head in a flash.

That's an old cat, and its speed is the fastest among the demons, yet it still couldn't react in time.

If that flying sword wasn't aimed at Old Cat, but at him...

Forget about dodging, it probably wouldn't even be able to see the trajectory of the flying sword before being beheaded on the spot.

The lizard demon stared intently at the flying sword and transmitted its voice, "My meaning is very clear. We can't afford to offend this person. The risk of a real fight is too great. We should retreat first and then find an opportunity to rob others."

Upon hearing this, the bear demon's big eyes widened, and he said loudly, "Big brother, what are you afraid of? He's just one person. If the six of us attack together, we can even hold our own against a demon king. Why would we be afraid of a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

The two teammates were killed by a single sword strike, which was indeed quite frightening, but Old Bear was not easily scared. It was his teammates who died, not him, so what was he afraid of?

Moreover, the stronger this person is, the more treasures he possesses, especially that pile of swords, which gleam with spiritual light and are very pleasing to the eye. If one could seize them, they would surely become one of the finest among his many collections.

Especially that lapis lazuli sword, its cold light is the brightest. If we could offer it to the Demon King, we might even be able to get him a mountain stronghold and make him a carefree mountain king!

Hmph, the elder brother thinks it's stupid, but the old bear thinks it's not stupid at all. It's doing this to plan for the future. Its foresight is far beyond what ordinary people can achieve.

To be honest, it's very smart!

After thinking for a moment, the bear demon stepped forward, looked up at the imposing figure, and said to the other four demons:

"Brothers, the fourth and seventh brothers died because of a moment of carelessness. Now that the six of us have joined forces, it is the perfect opportunity to avenge them!"

"This person is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If we are scared away by him, how will we ever be able to stand firm in this Immortal Palace?!"

After saying that, it looked at the lizard demon and said, "Big brother, I'm tough. I'll handle those flying swords. You all focus on dealing with him alone, okay?"

"Can you handle those flying swords?"

The lizard demon was somewhat doubtful: "That flying sword flashed with a cold light, and just looking at it made one feel pain all over. Its power was so great that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it could destroy mountains and shatter peaks. Old Bear, can you really withstand it?"

The bear demon nodded proudly: "Don't worry, big brother. I may not say anything else, but my flesh and skin are so good that even the Mountain-Shaking Demon King would praise it. Blocking a few of his flying swords is a piece of cake."

Having said that, it roared, revealing its thousand-foot-tall demonic form, its entire body radiating yellow light. It took a step forward and growled:

"You lowly human, how dare you kill my brother! Today I will make you pay for this in blood!"

Seeing this, the lizard demon finally made up its mind.

The eight of them worked together to gain a foothold here and live peacefully for many years. Now that only six of them remain, they cannot afford to let their morale drop again.

If word gets out that he disregarded his brothers' lives to save his own, how can he lead the group? Who would dare to follow him?

It is a renowned demon lord of a thousand transformations in this area. How could it do such a thing and be looked down upon for no reason?

Furthermore, six against one isn't entirely without a chance of winning.

Those few are far superior to the trash on the first floor!
