It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

Even if you see it's running out of fuel, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Yet time and again, they charged towards the pheasant demon.

[Until the very end, even the pheasant demon, stronger than you, harbored the thought of abandoning the battlefield and fleeing first.]

Would you really do as the other party wishes?

[He immediately engaged you, refusing to let you escape. The pheasant demon had no choice but to grit its teeth and continue the fierce battle.]

However, due to the continuous fierce fighting, your physical condition is rapidly declining. Right now, you're holding your breath; if that breath is released, you'll probably collapse immediately.

The other party is well aware of this, so they simply stop engaging in a prolonged fight and instead try every possible way to stall you.

He just needs to stall for time, and you'll naturally be too weak to fight anymore.

You...died from exhaustion.

"...How could it end like this? Peony was just watching from the sidelines, and she didn't even get involved in the battle until the very end? It seems that my role as a pawn isn't significant enough."

Su Chen looked at the ending and the situation around the battlefield.

Even with his opponent's trump cards, he still has a good chance of winning. However, there's no need to fight to the bitter end. Force out his opponent's trump cards first, and then prepare for the second round of attack.

Choose 2!

You didn't completely believe the information from Peony, not because you distrusted her, but because you understood that some trump cards are called trump cards precisely because no one knows them.

Perhaps the other party is hiding methods that others are unaware of.

You carefully planned your escape route. Even if you can't kill your opponent, you at least need to ensure your own safety.

After all, you're looking for thrills, not suicide.

You successfully ambushed your opponent on their likely route. However, it seemed as if they knew your location beforehand, showing no panic whatsoever at your sneak attack.

In the heat of battle, you repeatedly forced your opponent into mistakes by exploiting their weaknesses. However, you could clearly sense that the pheasant demon before you was always holding back its power.

He seemed to be on guard against something.

As for you, you didn't think that far ahead. You just kept attacking, and attacking again, until the other side finally couldn't hold on any longer and resorted to methods beyond information.

You were on guard the whole time, but by the time they actually retaliated, you had already made your escape. After confirming their hand, you felt much better.

The first battle ended with your defeat and retreat.

[In the subsequent ambushes, you were spotted by the enemy in advance, and they repelled your attacks time and time again.]

The pheasant demon, though intent on killing you,

But no matter how he tried, he couldn't trap you, let alone kill you.

[After all, with your fighting style, you're almost comparable to the demon race; every punch lands with a visceral impact, blood and flesh flying everywhere. No other cultivator can compare to you.]

After this happened repeatedly, the pheasant demon finally lost its patience. Having gathered several powerful demons at the Nascent Soul stage, it decided to find you and surround and kill you.

At this moment, they suddenly realize that your target has changed!

A Nascent Soul Realm body cultivator has begun a targeted hunt against these demons from the Demon Realm.

After all, while there are frictions among the demon race, they are generally kept within acceptable limits. Their contact isn't frequent, but they still inform each other of major events.

[Within a short period of time, you killed several demons of similar or slightly lower cultivation levels at multiple locations.]

[Almost all of the demons who left the demon realm this time were on missions. Your killing spree not only ruined their plans, but also indirectly accelerated Xi Meng's plans.]

More importantly, their personal storage treasures contained a large number of valuable items.

You've certainly made a fortune.

However, you have repeatedly and accurately located their whereabouts and been able to precisely target their weaknesses to launch attacks.

This group of demons is already questioning your identity and the source of your information.

After all, many of their possessions are closely guarded secrets, and some are even what they consider their trump cards.

But for you, those things are like being laid bare in the open, having absolutely no effect.

To ensure the survival of the other surviving demons and for their missions outside the demon realm, these powerful Nascent Soul stage demons finally began to scatter and disperse.

They must disperse to protect their respective tribes, while also hoping to find you so they can hunt you down and kill you.

[However, what they didn't expect was that the moment this powerful demon clan separated, you once again took the initiative to approach the pheasant demon.]

[Through a series of battles, you have experienced numerous crises and been repeatedly stimulated. Although your cultivation level has not improved, your overall strength has clearly risen to a new level.]

The moment the pheasant demon faced you again, it was clear it was incredulous. Your growth rate was simply too fast; the methods it had used before were almost useless against you.

The trump card you were forced to play last time has become a useless card now that you're prepared.

Even though the pheasant demon knew you weren't someone to be trifled with, he never expected your improvement to be so dramatic in such a short time.

For three whole days, your battle with the pheasant demon has not ceased for a moment.

But unlike before, this time the one who has the upper hand is actually you.

Even if your cultivation level is slightly weaker than the pheasant demon's.

But with your almost superhuman physical strength, the gap between you two was completely erased!

The pheasant demon once again harbored thoughts of escaping.

Chapter 182: Going off the beaten track

But you were already prepared and wouldn't give them any chance to escape.

At the moment of its death, the pheasant demon's eyes held a hint of disbelief.

He never imagined that one day he would be relentlessly hunted down to his death by a body cultivator whose cultivation level was even lower than his own.

He couldn't even mount an effective resistance; he could only watch helplessly as death approached him step by step.

The fall of the pheasant demon is just the beginning for the demon race in the demon realm.

This means your plan has succeeded in its first step. You're using these demons as a whetstone, constantly pushing yourself to the brink of life and death.

Although every battle was fraught with danger.

But in the end, you still survived!

[In just a few months, the number of Nascent Soul Realm demons who have died at your hands has exceeded the number you can count on two hands. You single-handedly prevented those demons from easily venturing out of the demon realm again.]

However, your situation has not improved at all.

Although the demon races of the world are irreconcilable enemies, they can still unite when faced with absolute interests.

[Due to your relentless pursuit, the demon realm has issued a kill order against you. Anyone who kills you will be granted entry into the demon realm and become a guest of honor of the demon king.]

The demon realm is nothing short of a sacred land for all demons in the world.

The allure of the demon realm is unparalleled for the demon race. Most importantly, entering the demon realm offers the chance to revert to their ancestral state and purify their bloodline power to an even greater degree.

Nothing attracts them more than becoming stronger.

This kill order also applies to humans; as long as other cultivators can kill you, they will receive the same substantial rewards.

However, before the demon realm, you repeatedly invaded human sects. Most human cultivators, regarding this kill order, would only think you did a good job.

Only a portion of the evil forces truly harbored any intentions.

It doesn't matter to you who your enemy is.

[You're open to anything that puts enough pressure on you.]

Peony has always been by your side, but most of the time she remains hidden. Only when you are severely injured will Peony appear gracefully.

Several more months passed, and the demon realm's kill order remained in effect. However, cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and the demon race no longer dared to attack you.

[As long as you are in the Nascent Soul Realm, almost no one can rival you.]

They did try to team up and ambush you, but each time either you spotted them first, or they created an opening, and their attempts were unsuccessful after several attempts.

[On the contrary, during the encirclement, you found an opportunity. You directly seized the opponent's weakness and killed several Nascent Soul cultivators.]

After this back and forth, no one dared to lay a hand on you again.

"The Demon King has been quite satisfied with you during this period. However, you need to be careful from now on. Whether it's the Demon Realm or here, there's a possibility that someone at the Integration Stage will directly attack you."

Peony and Zhang Yang sat by the fire. In less than a year, the number of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who died at Zhang Yang's hands was almost four hands.

These people, or even demons, could easily have founded their own sects. But now they've all become Zhang Yang's dead.

It was precisely because of Zhang Yang's hunt that the demons in the demon realm became much more obedient, and in the short term, no demon dared to secretly run out of the demon realm.

However, given the intensity of the hunt, there have been calls within the demon realm to have a more powerful demon race intervene.

Moreover, Zhang Yang was able to accurately locate the demons each time and understand their weaknesses. Some demons already suspected that there was a traitor among them.

But they could never guess, or dared not guess, that the real traitor was actually the Demon King himself.

Only Xi Meng could have access to so many high-level demons and know so much about them.

"Can you confirm their cultivation level?"

Zhang Yang asked a follow-up question. After nearly a year of life-and-death battles, his cultivation level had improved rapidly, and he was about to enter the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

"The demon realm will likely send a demon at the early stage of the Integration Realm. As for who it is, it's hard to say for now. As for the evil cultivators and demonic cultivators among humans, we haven't received any information yet."

Peony lowered her voice. In the past few months, Zhang Yang had indeed killed quite a few cultivators.

Although they were mostly demons, killing too many of them would inevitably attract the attention of some more powerful beings.

"However, based on our speculation, it will most likely be the early stage of fusion."

In the world today, there has never been a publicly acknowledged master of the Perfected Integration Realm. The strongest beings in the world are only at the late Integration Realm.

As for those hidden in the shadows, whether they have achieved perfect union is unclear to everyone.

Most of the fusion stages are stuck in the early stage, with only a small number able to enter the middle stage.

Currently, only Xi Meng and another demon ancestor in the demon realm are capable of reaching the later stages. That ancestor has not appeared for many years.

No one knows whether the other has already perished.

"In other words, I am very likely to face two or more early-stage fusion cultivators?"

Zhang Yang stared at the flickering flames, a smile actually appearing on his face. For a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to be hunted down by a Nascent Soul cultivator was something unbelievable, even if word got out.
