"Kill them!!!"

Faced with a large number of lesser demons, the few Aslan knights were no match for the overwhelming numbers.

Aside from their own injuries, the group also needed to carry the wounded.

But then a sharp explosion rang out, and the head of the demon captain, who had just been arrogantly giving orders, exploded in an instant.

"what!?"

The group of little demons were immediately confused, but then a series of "bang bang bang" sounds rang out, and the demons fell down like cut straws. Only then did they realize that there were humans hiding nearby.

"Humans! There are still treacherous humans hiding here!"

But these low-level demons, without their leader, are like a swarm of headless flies, some trying to find the direction of the attack, while others are running away or hiding in the bushes to save their own lives.

The siege formation was shattered by the unpredictable rock spikes, and several knights seized the opportunity to slay the demons blocking their way, carrying the wounded out of the encirclement.

But these demons, however foolish they may be, are still a force to be reckoned with when scattered.

The commotion and their shouts naturally attracted the attention of other demons marching nearby.

The sound of footsteps rustling through the grass began to echo in the woods. Without the crows needing to observe, Ye Xiao knew that reinforcements were on their way.

However, Ye Xiao didn't expect to be able to silently eliminate such a large group of demons with his magical skills. No matter how powerful his moves were, it was like swatting a cockroach nest with a slipper; it was difficult to kill all the cockroaches at once.

As for those large-scale divine spells and ultimate moves, those would cause too much of a commotion, and he didn't want any overly powerful enemies to notice this place.

The current level of chaos is just right.

Ye Xiao crouched low and darted behind a tree trunk. He glanced at the two little demons and saw them draw their bone horns from their waists, about to blow them. Without hesitation, he summoned two wind blades and cleaved the heads of the two demons open.

Although he knew that reinforcements would definitely come, and that killing the two little devils wouldn't make a difference, he still felt an instinctive unease when he saw the horn-blowing henchmen.

He then fired a Lava Sniper with his staff, killing the target was secondary, since there were basically no valuable targets among these lesser demons.

But as the saying goes, "Snipers are the most hated targets on the battlefield," Ye Xiao's actions attracted many eager little devils to his direction.

He suddenly conjured a cloud of smoke that spread across the area, making the already dark forest even more difficult to discern human figures.

These little devils didn't recognize any Mountain Sword Saint. All they knew was that a treacherous human was hiding in the shadows, using them as targets. No one could tolerate that, so they just howled and rushed toward the location from which the explosion had come.

Their movements naturally misled other demon squads who were unaware of the situation but were on their way to provide support.

When the support team arrived, they saw that all the little devils were rushing in one direction, so they assumed that the target was there and charged over without saying a word.

The chaotic situation also created a good opportunity for the knights of the Bluestone Fortress. As they fled through the thick smoke, they found that there were fewer and fewer demons around them, as if they had all been drawn away by the commotion of unknown origin, and the pressure was relieved.

However, the night was dark and windy, and thick smoke drifted through the forest. The demons were so disoriented from searching for the person that they themselves were having trouble finding their way.

Just then, a tall, thin man dressed in black jumped down from a tree branch and waved to them.

"This way."

The knights hurriedly followed, and when they saw the castle tower-shaped emblem of the Shanghai Cliff Academy on the other person's clothes, they were somewhat taken aback. "Are you a professor at the academy?"

"Brandon, the mentor in charge of Group Three."

Ye Xiao gave a brief introduction and then led the group to crouch down and sneak out.

Behind them, amidst the thick smoke, a group of demons were still searching for the source of the continuous explosions.

"boom"

"Over here! That damned human is hiding over here!"

"boom"

"I have some too, and there's more than one!"

"Enough! You bunch of useless trash!"

With a furious shout, a strong wind suddenly swept through the forest, instantly dispersing the thick smoke and clearing the view, leaving only a bunch of little devils lying on the ground with their heads blown off.

A high-ranking female demon appeared in the arena, but unlike Asarna's human-like face, this demon had exquisite features, but snow-white horns on her forehead, a pair of bat-like wings on her back, and skin as deep blue as water.

Her curvaceous figure was clad in a black leather miniskirt and tube top. With a gentle clench of her slender fingers, she stopped the wind magic she was casting. Then, she casually picked up a red-skinned little devil, her mature voice tinged with anger.

"What exactly are you chasing???"

"Reporting...reporting to you, sir!"

The little devil trembled with fear upon seeing that it was a high-ranking demon. "Humans are attacking us!"

"boom"

Another loud bang rang out, and the little devil instinctively shrank its head upon hearing it.

"My lord, listen! That's the sound! It's a very powerful spell that killed my kin in an instant..."

The high-ranking demon narrowed his eyes, and with his other hand, he made a clenching motion in the air. A clump of grass nearby swayed, and a small, dark stone was drawn into his palm by an invisible force.

She placed the stone on her palm, and after a short while, the stone made another loud "bang," but it was just a simple bang; nothing else happened.

A sound stone is an inexpensive magical stone that can record brief sounds and release them periodically.

"..."

The high-ranking demon's face immediately turned ashen, and the little demon was so frightened that his red face almost turned white.

Even a fool would know they've been tricked.

After wandering around aimlessly for so long, the humans who actually caused the commotion have probably already disappeared somewhere.

"Get out of here and find that guy!"

The high-ranking demon roared and threw the little demon away.

She heard the commotion in the forest and thought something serious had happened, so she led her men to come and help. But a large group of demons just stood around like idiots for a long time and didn't see anything.

"Heh, Viscount Alabella, you're not even on the front lines? What, such a momentous event as conquering the mortal realm, no one informed you?"

A cold, mocking laugh suddenly rang in her ears. The female demon called Alabella turned her head and saw a handsome man with a pale face.

"Asar, you prince who only knows how to stay at home, you actually know how to come to the real world to gain merit?"

Chapter 84 Simple and Honest Folk Customs

As if his sore spot had been hit, Assal's face immediately stiffened.

"You mere succubus, I warn you not to interfere in my affairs. Those humans are my prey."

"How dare you talk like that, you little brat."

Despite being humiliated, Alabella smiled gently, licking her long nails with her tongue. "Even when Grand Duke Cain was in my arms, he didn't dare to be so aggressive. By seniority, you might have to call me 'Mom'."

"you……!!"

Assar was so angry at this rebuke that his pale face turned red.

But in front of so many demons, it would be a real loss of face to bring up his father's private affairs in public. More importantly, the other party's identity and strength were indeed not simple, so he couldn't resort to violence.

"In short, you and your henchmen get out of here!"

Asar decided to abandon the pointless argument and led his horned wolf riders in pursuit without a word.

"Your Highness...should we still chase after them?"

As Alabella watched the retreating figures of the group of horned wolf knights, her second-in-command asked in a low voice.

"Of course we should chase after them. Hanya Pass has probably already been taken by those commanders. We won't get anything good going there now."

Alabella smiled dismissively. "Judging from that foolish prince's anxious look, his old father must have given him a good task. Why don't we help him complete it? Perhaps we can even receive some reward from the Demon God."

"Your Highness is wise!"

……

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao and several knights were still trudging through the forest.

"Wait... Professor, could you wait a moment...?"

"What? What's the matter?"

Ye Xiao turned around in surprise.

They're running for their lives; what could be more important than running for their lives?

"You're going too fast...we...we can't keep up..."

The knight said, panting.

To be honest, he was really puzzled. This professor was carrying a staff and looked like a mage, so how could he run so fast?

Moreover, as a knight, he was already exhausted from following such a long distance of travelers, yet this guy could do it without even panting?

"Oh, my, I'm sorry."

Ye Xiao slapped his forehead awkwardly, "Then you guys should drink some medicine as you walk to recover your strength."

Fortunately, Ye Xiao had brought two jungle leopards from the fleeing group to carry the four wounded; otherwise, the journey would have been far too difficult if the riders had to carry the wounded on their backs.

Unfortunately, the number of mounts available to the fleeing group on the other side was also limited, and they couldn't spare more leopards. Otherwise, it would have been easier for these knights if they had mounts.

"grateful……"

The knights glanced at Ye Xiao gratefully.

Although they could tell that this man was not a native Aslan and was likely a professor from elsewhere, anyone with a conscience would be grateful for his life-saving grace.

"It's a minor matter, but don't let your guard down. We're still in the demons' territory."

Ye Xiao reminded him.

"understand……"

The knights nodded.

"By the way, did you see the guy who seriously injured the Sword Saint like this?"

The moment Ye Xiao uttered his question, the faces of the others instantly turned pale.

Just from their utterly terrified faces, one could roughly guess that the enemy was no ordinary foe.

"That... judging from its appearance... it should be a human."

A knight said in a trembling voice.

"They call themselves... the First Chosen One of Life..."

"His strength is terrifying..."

"Under Lord Teplo's command, we fought with all our might to defend the fortress all night and prevented the demons from breaching it... But as soon as he appeared, he easily killed everyone..."

Ye Xiao rubbed her chin and glanced at the injuries on Aaron's body. The skin not covered by bandages was black all over and had faint, fine cracks, like shards of porcelain about to break.

Did you see what abilities he used back then?

"Sorry... we can't tell from our current strength..."

The knight sighed, "The moment he appeared, countless enormous tentacles emerged from beneath the fortress, easily smashing the towers to pieces, and our companions were instantly transformed into madmen covered in tentacles..."

"We only survived because those demons were clamoring to eat people alive; otherwise, we might not have even had the chance to save Mr. Airon, let alone meet you..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"The First Chosen One of Life"—this title seems to carry some weight.

Considering that the Miracle Sorcerer family was a guardian family that served the God of Light and Life thousands of years ago, and since the Holy Church doctrine mentions the existence of the Chosen of Light at that time, it is not surprising that there was also the Chosen of Life.

However, the first generation is a bit too early in terms of time, how come it has survived to this day?

However, given that it is the power of "life," it is not impossible for him to have survived to this day.

Ye Xiao vaguely remembered that Ella had obtained a portion of the true power of life from the remnant soul of the God of Life in the Howling Mountains, but it was not complete.

Therefore, if some of the life force is still buried at the bottom of the sea, it is possible that it could be controlled by the miracle sorcerer family.

However, judging from the tentacles observed in the Seven Seas City, although they all looked similar, the tentacles of the other party were more like the organs of some kind of deep-sea creature, and they would be connected to a potentially huge life form.

At the time, Ye Xiao wondered if those things were probably knockoffs, since Ella's tentacles could grow out of the ground, so why would she need such a troublesome main body?

But now that I think about it, Ella's was probably the fake one.

The tentacles growing out of the soil just don't make sense; how could the real world allow such an abstract rule to exist?

From this perspective, Ella is actually the "anomaly" that distorted the laws of life.
