I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

If the Demon Progenitor hadn't been unable to influence the power of the race's bloodline, and if he hadn't been the king who ignited the flame of bloodline, he would have been defeated long ago.

His body seemed to teleport, dodging and weaving. He swung his meter-long neck in the air and blasted the demon progenitor away with another slash before fleeing quickly.

As a member of the snake-headed tribe, known for their exceptional speed and small numbers, Bina possesses remarkable escape skills, though he likely has few men left.

His body traversed thousands of miles across the sky. Just as he was about to shake the Demon Progenitor out of the perception range of the Mind Net, another shooting star suddenly flashed past the Demon Progenitor in the sky.

It was another unfamiliar member of the demon race.

It is unclear what they exchanged, but the demon ancestor who had been chasing him retreated respectfully as if obeying a command, and his pursuers were replaced.

The newly arrived demon seemed to have some anger on his face, as if he wanted to vent it. In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance between himself and Pina, which made Pina pale with fright!

boom--

The extremely heavy punch caused Bina to cough up blood and fall to the ground, at which point he knew... he was finished!

A demon progenitor whose bloodline and body both ignite the flame, a flame of second-level brightness?!

"What the hell did I do to deserve this?!"

Desperate, resisting, struggling, just a few minutes later, Bina collapsed to the ground, severely injured, a bitter smile appearing on his snake-like face.

At this moment, the progenitor who had been chasing him rushed back and handed a Star Den Den Mushi to the Twin Ignition Progenitor, preventing him from being killed immediately.

"Lord Hobiron, Den Den Mushi."

"Put the card on Dam!"

After the Den Den Mushi dialed the number, the Twin Ignition Progenitor immediately asked, "Dam, where are you?"

"Hobiron?"

"It's me, where are you?"

"I was playing games with some kids in the Sul Cluster, why are you suddenly looking for me?"

"My children are all dead," Hobilon gritted his teeth. "They were all killed by Gaston Figo, the newly crowned number one 'Sword Saint' of the Eastern Universe!"

Panting heavily, Pina's eyes widened. He had naturally heard the news that the number one swordsman of the Eastern Universe had changed. As a pirate, he would never dare to go to a place like Sword Star. Figo, who had defeated Demis, was naturally also on his list of people he could not provoke.

But the second one of the two-fire demon progenitors was a rare body, and he was defeated and forced to flee by the Sword Saint, with all his children killed.

Dam, the progenitor of the demon race, was clearly shocked as well: "A sword saint?"

"We should go see the Sword Saint of the Demon God! He's a barbarian who can ignite both his body and his weapon, and he's also a Devil Fruit user!" Hobilon roared.

"what?!"

The First Sword Saint isn't a Sword Saint?

Bina and another progenitor of the demon race were also astonished, and then they looked up at the sky at the same time as Hobiron.

A swordsman in flowing white robes, exuding an extraordinary air, emerged from outside the planet's protective membrane, his gaze fixed on Hobiron, before gracefully landing.

This aura... isn't it that of a sword saint?

"Damn it, they're here?! Dam! You stay on the main planet of Sur and help me!"

Hobilon shoved the Den Den Mushi into the little progenitor's arms and walked away without looking back.

The little progenitor was dumbfounded.

"Lord Hobillon?"

In the blink of an eye, the white-clad swordsman landed in front of him, and a fist the size of a sandbag rapidly enlarged before his eyes. Its black, ink-like armor coloring was far harder than his skull!

boom--

One punch, and it felt like everything inside me shattered.

He's really not a sword saint?

This was the Little Ancestor's last thought.

This dramatic turn of events left Bina somewhat dumbfounded. Was she... saved?

"Thank you, Sword Saint, for saving my life!" He bowed obsequiously, tactfully ignoring the fact that the Sword Saint fought with his fists.

Then he was bound by a chain.

"Sword Saint?"

"You're thanking me too soon."

Bina was honored to witness the First Sword Saint of the Eastern Universe draw his sword. He was incredibly powerful, but the sword wasn't fast at all, and his neck hurt terribly.

Figo kills a pirate with a crime index of 500+ by slaying him with a single blow, and then binds the Little Ancestor.

Gain the profits, then kill.

The mind network spotted the children of the little progenitor, rushed over, and captured another whole nest.

Unlike Tilleya, who wreaks havoc from a 'big city', these minor progenitors don't have a very high crime index, but they can still earn tens of thousands of points easily. If their numbers increase, the improvement can be quite considerable.

After selecting the reward, Figo brought up Hobilon's interface again, focusing his attention on his state during the prison break, pointing back to the past, and continuing the chase.

A week later, the progenitor of the Twinfire Demon race, Dam, was on the verge of death as Figo trampled him underfoot. Watching Hobiron escape from the planet's protective membrane, he uttered two desperate curses.

Ten days later, another demon bloodline with the second-level Wind-type ability, Light Brightness, helplessly suffered the same fate.

One month later... one and a half months later...

Pepplowton.

Ana, who had been anxiously waiting for Figo, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him appear. She said, "Did you get lost in the starry sky, or did you not find the demon race? How come a journey that should have taken half a month has taken three months? I thought you were in danger!"

Figo handed her a package, untied it, and smiled, "I caught a few extra. Thank you for waiting for me here."

Seven or eight demon horns appeared before her. Ana was taken aback and said, "Apart from the direct blood hybrids and progenitors who lead the teams, ordinary demons generally don't have bounties on their bodies."

"Yes, these are all team leaders."

They were all... team leaders?

Ana looked at Figo and blinked.

She opened her mouth slightly, then froze.

Chapter 167 The Demon Prince Ato

Demon Hunter Guild.

As Ana checked the bounties against the wanted posters and confirmed the demon bounties one by one, she was far from calm.

Three of them had bounties over 2 billion, and five had bounties between 1 billion and 2 billion, totaling 143 billion. Even after deducting the portion that wasn't captured alive, it still exceeded 10 billion. Figo earned more in three months than she did in three years!

No, it's not about how many Star Coins there are.

When we hunt demons, we plan and prepare for months, and then carefully eliminate one or two based on intelligence gaps.

Are you going to wipe out a whole group at once?

Are demons lined up for you to kill?

"How...how did you do that?"

"I was lucky enough to encounter a demon named Hobilon whose body was engulfed in flames. I deliberately let him go and chased after him, and he automatically went to find other demon companions."

That's the logic, that's correct. But Ana knows how difficult it is to do something like that. Putting aside how you can be sure that the demon can't shake you off in the vastness of space, in terms of strength, it would be absolutely impossible for someone with dual ignition!

Is the king, whose body and weaponry both ignite the flame, stronger than rumored? Or is Figo's foundation so solid that he quickly approached the level of igniting the third flame after igniting the second?

Ana felt she had really encountered a terrifying guy this time. Killing the demons should have been a happy thing for her, but now she had to worry about Figo instead.

"We still need to be careful. The demon race in the Eastern Universe Sea doesn't usually light the lamps three times, but it's not that they absolutely never do. The demon race doesn't follow the rules."

In the central universe, even with three progenitors, the demon race has always been firmly suppressed and forced to flee in all directions, so there are not many scattered demons to be seen.

However, the demon race and the Celestial Dragons have reached a certain tacit understanding regarding the four cosmic seas: east, west, south, and north.

It could also be said that the Celestial Dragons deliberately allowed the Devil Race to slaughter those who privately cultivated Devil Fruits and consumed them. After all, before the Devil Race liberation plan, Devil Fruits were exclusively the property of the Celestial Dragons; in their eyes, all outsiders who consumed Devil Fruits were thieves!

They certainly don't care if you die. The demon race releases some weaklings into the four seas, and the Celestial Dragons only offer bounties, they won't capture them themselves.

These are the rules Ana was referring to.

Only a tragedy like that on Planet Eisen could alarm the Celestial Dragons, and only then would they go to the rescue.

Of course, these are usually belated rescues.

Ana said frankly, "I really didn't expect you to be able to do this. You killed the demons, who are very troublesome to me, so easily. Of course, this is something to be happy about for me, but now I'm worried that you will get into trouble because of this."

Putting aside the demon race's retaliation, if things continue like this, the fact that you are not a sword saint but a king of dual-wielding fire-wielding armor will inevitably be exposed. If the Celestial Dragons were to conscript you, what do you plan to do? Join the expeditionary force?

Even if you don't participate, the Celestial Dragons will still investigate your background to some extent. They won't be as indifferent as they were when they learned about the First Sword Saint of the Eastern Universe. They will investigate the planet you came from..."

"So I don't plan to register as a demon hunter for now, nor do I plan to submit bounties. I'll just use you to gather intelligence and hunt demons. I'll keep it a secret for as long as I can. I'll hunt for now." Figo said, "We'll deal with the exposure later. I can't just hide away because I'm worried about being exposed, can I? People in our small town aren't exactly peaceful either."

Apart from the group of demons who were besieging the pirate crew, the other seven groups were not doing anything 'human' when Figo found them. Their leaders did not have as high a crime index as Tilleya, and their bounties of over 2 billion were all over 2,000.

As for the demon race's revenge...

Figo didn't say much. The gains from these three months of captures were considerable, and his strength was increasing every day. He was actually looking forward to revenge.

……

The simultaneous death of eight demons at the Light-Ignition level is indeed a significant event in the Eastern Universe Sea.

What Figo was hoping for was happening.

While Figo was communicating with Ana, on a remote planet, several demon progenitors and powerful bloodlines had indeed gathered together.

As Hobilon appealed for help one by one, some of the reinforcements sensed something was wrong and again sought help from their familiar demon friends. However, both times, before the second wave of demon reinforcements arrived, those whom Hobilon had appealed to had already been annihilated!

It was no secret to them that the person who made the move was Gaston Figo, the newly crowned number one swordsman of the Eastern Universe Sea. They even knew that Figo was actually armed with dual fire-type weapons.

But they couldn't come up with a solution.

Only one of the demons among them still had their body lit up with flames. Even if they besieged Figo, they would be helpless if he escaped into the starry sky.

"Should we proactively leak his information to the Celestial Dragons? Let this bastard pretending to be a sword saint go to the Central Universe and let the Demon Princes deal with him?"

One of the demons proposed a rather embarrassing solution: to throw this guy, who was disrupting the balance of the Eastern Universe, into the Central Universe.

The Eastern Universe Sea is not without powerful figures like Figo who can absolutely suppress the demon race who can only light the lamp a second time at most. There are even a few who can light the lamp a third time. However, those are mostly from large and powerful families. Figo, who suddenly appeared, is all alone and has nowhere to threaten.

"Should we report to the Ancestor first?"
