Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

The tiger demon used all four of its legs to push off, creating a shallow crater in the grass, and its movement speed was astonishing.

Luo Jingshan's expression changed as he watched the tiger demon move in that direction. "Not good!" he exclaimed, and then followed closely behind the tiger demon.

Although it was following closely behind, the tiger demon was three points faster than Luo Jingshan when it sprinted at full speed.

After a few leaps and bounds, the tiger demon had already rushed a hundred feet away, and Luo Jingshan gritted his teeth and followed closely behind.

-----------------

On the grassland, the four-directional spirit-locking array was activated once again.

The fox demon had stopped howling and was now looking at Li Youan and the others with a mocking expression.

"Reinforcements will be here soon, you should still have time to run; or you can kneel down and beg for mercy now, and maybe I'll be in a good mood and spare your lives."

"Run? Beg for mercy?"

Li Youan sneered and said nothing more. He quickly formed hand seals, and the energy within the formation circulated rapidly.

"It's like you're the only one with reinforcements. You have a captain, and so do we. We'll just wipe you all out in one fell swoop."

"Oh, really?"

The fox demon curled her lips into a smile, her narrow eyes gleaming with a peculiar light.

Click.

As soon as the fox demon finished speaking, the sound of trees breaking could be heard from afar.

The tiger demon paid no attention. Along the way, birds and beasts were startled and crashed into countless trees before finally leaping down beside the fox demon.

Luo Jingshan followed closely behind, landing in front of Li Youan and the others. He held a long sword horizontally in his hand, his breathing was a little rapid but not disordered. The chase had left him slightly out of breath.

After the two demons reunited, they looked at the wounds on their bodies. Although not much demon blood was flowing out under the cover of demonic energy, the wounds were still somewhat messy.

However, the two demons' aura only increased, their eyes scanning Luo Jingshan and the others, their roars filled with killing intent.

After Luo Jingshan stood still, he quickly scanned the crowd.

"Is everything alright?"

Everyone nodded, and Luo Hui quickly spoke up from the side.

"Captain, the rabbit demons have been dealt with; only these two remain."

As he spoke, Luo Hui pointed his giant axe at the two demons opposite him.

Luo Jingshan nodded and looked at the tiger demon and the fox demon.

"Two against seven, you have no chance of winning."

Hearing Luo Jingshan's words, the tiger demon found it somewhat amusing, and grinned, revealing its sharp teeth.

"Is that how you calculate it? You've included those five in your calculations too."

The tiger demon looked at Li Youan and the other Kaiyuan Realm cultivators with great contempt.

"Captain, their squad has a formation master."

Hearing the fox demon's words, the tiger demon was clearly getting impatient.

"I know, aren't we right in the middle of the formation? Oh, right, where's that silly rabbit?"

The fox demon's tone was somewhat low.

"In one of their rings."

With just one sentence, the tiger demon understood what it meant.

"Then those few can't be allowed to live either. I was originally punished to be in this assassination squad for making a mistake in the clan. Now that one of my members has died, it's even more unacceptable."

The fox demon didn't respond, but instead began to consider the current battlefield situation.

"Captain, our headquarters is preparing for that operation. The area that our squads are responsible for is too large, and the chances of encountering reinforcements are extremely small."

Upon hearing the fox demon's telepathic message, the tiger demon nodded. Killing those at the Kaiyuan Realm wouldn't be of much use, and the captain himself couldn't determine a winner for the time being. This stalemate wouldn't benefit either side.

"Captain, the only way to take them down quickly is with that one move."

Upon hearing the fox demon's words, a hint of hesitation flashed in the tiger demon's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by resolute determination.

The tiger demon roared to the sky, its roar echoing throughout the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, even stunning some of the weaker demons.

After the tiger roared, the tiger demon suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura, and its cultivation level rapidly rose to the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm.

Visible black and red demonic energy surrounded the tiger demon's entire body. Its body began to swell, its muscles bulged like pieces of refined iron, and its fur stood up like steel needles.

The tiger demon's eyes were covered in a bloody red, and its original shoulder height of three zhang increased to more than ten zhang in the blink of an eye.

"Hiss, what is this?" Luo Jingshan's expression changed drastically.

"Stop it quickly! This is a berserk state that only a level one captain of the demon race can cultivate."

Berserk is an innate ability of some demon races, allowing them to surge in strength for a short period by burning their life essence. The cost is a prolonged period of weakness after the berserk state ends.

However, since the end of the last war between humans and demons, a powerful figure among the demons has researched and summarized this berserk talent into a set of techniques that allow every demon to learn this berserk ability.

However, cultivating this technique requires a certain amount of talent, and it seems that this tiger demon is one of the demons who successfully cultivated it.

At this moment, the tiger demon's cultivation level was still rapidly increasing, and it was already close to the peak of the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm.

"Quickly, stop it!"

Upon hearing Luo Jingshan's shout, everyone attacked simultaneously.

Leading the charge was Luo Jingshan's machete, aimed straight at the tiger demon's head. Closely following behind were Luo Yao and Luo Hui's giant axes, their blades simultaneously slashing towards the tiger demon's neck.

Although Zhao Jing's flying shuttle was a little late, it arrived faster than expected, and was less than three zhang away from the tiger demon's eyes.

Zheng Xuan and Wei Xiao remained where they were. Lacking any ranged attack methods, they chose not to act rashly, lest they make things worse.

Although Li Youan remained in the same place, he did his best to activate the Four Directions Spirit Locking Array and contribute all the power he could.

The group attacked together, blocking all of the tiger demon's escape routes.

But the fox demon moved at that moment.

It flashed in front of the tiger demon, its three tails growing larger and transforming into three red shields, blocking the two demons.

A pair of fox claws swung rapidly, flashing claw shadows in the air, blocking all attacks for a moment.

Ding ding ding—

The sound of metal clashing was incessant.

The Luo brothers' two axe blades struck the fox-tail shield, sending up a series of sparks. Their hands trembled and went numb, but the axe blades could only penetrate half an inch before they could go any deeper.

Zhao Jing's flying shuttle struck the fox tail shield, producing only a few sparks before being bounced away.

Li Youan's shrinking array light barrier was shattered by the fox demon's claws.

Only Luo Jingshan's machete severed one of the fox demon's tails, and the blade even penetrated an inch into the fox demon's chest.

Blood trickled from the fox demon's mouth, its claws were somewhat broken, and its severed tail revealed stark white bone, yet it gritted its teeth and stood before the tiger demon without retreating an inch.

In just three breaths, the tiger demon had completed its berserk transformation, shielding the injured fox demon behind it.

At this moment, the tiger demon had increased in size by more than three times, its aura had become even more violent, and its cultivation had reached the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm.

It raised its head and let out a long roar, a roar filled with savage killing intent, nothing more. The ancient trees around it trembled from the sound wave, and some leaves fell down.

"This is troublesome; it still managed to go berserk."

hiss.

Luo Jingshan took a deep breath, gripped the machete tightly, his knuckles turning white. He knew that the battle to come would be a true life-or-death struggle.
