……

The Great Soul Array collapsed, and countless rune fragments flew in the air.

They shimmer with light on the surface, and contain the purest source of darkness within.

After a few attacks and defenses, Velitaan could no longer effectively control them, and the dangerous rune storm trembled in place, and from time to time shards ejected.

They were as thin as cicada wings, weightless, some were stopped by Yin Zhongxiu and others, some pierced into the trunks of trees, and some of the runes penetrated the rocks and embedded in the earth.

Other rune fragments, after escaping the storm without any obstacles, walked through the treacherous night of the Western Mountains unscrupulously, and then slowly drifted down to a tall cave after knowing how long.

It's like a dead leaf that falls on the calm surface of a lake, causing a ripple.

So in the dark and quiet cave, there was a lord-level demon who slowly opened his eyes.

The eyes floated in the dark cavern, the size of a lantern, and their pupils were a strange fiery red, surrounded by a green glow.

It stared at the fragments of runes that had fallen at the entrance of its cave, sensing the familiar and unfamiliar aura in between, and then let out a tiger roar in anger.

"Roar!"

The lord was furious, and the mighty mountains and forests, countless strange ghosts and demons, all sensed the lord's anger, so they began to flee in a hurry.

The huge tiger demon walked out of the cave, and the leather armor on its back rubbed against the rock above the cave entrance, making a sharp and penetrating grinding sound.

Under the moonlight, his whole body was yellow, his body was covered with pure black lines, and four sharp fangs grew symmetrically up and down, each more than two meters long.

"Intruder."

The tiger demon's lantern-sized eyes were full of tyranny.

This place is his domain, and it has been under his control long before the night falls, and no other creatures are allowed to approach it.

And after the treacherous night, he became a fourth-stage lord-level demon, enlightened his wisdom, and became the true king of beasts, and no creature dared to provoke him.

But now, someone has invaded his territory with an ability, and it smells like a nasty human?

Remembering that when he was young, his family was chased by hunters, and the tiger demon couldn't hold back any longer, following the dark guidance of the people, roaring and running in the direction where the debris was flying.

He's going to tear everyone in that direction to shreds.

……

The terrifying roar of the tiger echoed throughout the mountains and forests.

The birds were frightened, the big demons fled, the strange ghosts trembled, and the entire central region was in chaos.

Yin Zhongxiu, who was still hesitating whether to leave the wounded behind and escape with words, held back the words in his throat.

He looked at the words for a moment, then turned his head helplessly:

"Now you don't have to worry about who should run."

"Lord-level demons, none of us can escape."

Yan hugged the sword and closed his eyes slightly.

Although he did not agree with this statement, he did not refute it.

Everyone heard the roar of the tiger.

So even Tuoba Xiaorong and Bai Pu, who had always insisted on letting Yin Zhongxiu and his words go first, were silent.

Originally, their position was very dangerous, and it would take at least an hour to withdraw from the central region of Xishan without falling into the city.

During this journey, they don't know how many strange ghosts and big demons they have to face, and in the ordinary second stage, even when they are at the peak of their state, their chances are slim.

Therefore, without considering the premise of the black-robed old man's pursuit and killing, the only people who had a chance to escape were Yin Zhongxiu and Yanyu.

One is the leader of the three stages, with strong strength, and the other is as fast as lightning, and ordinary ghosts can't touch the corners of his clothes.

But now, there was an amazing tiger roar in the core area of Xishan, and the demon beasts in the central region all fled in a panic, obviously the tiger demon of the four stages was about to descend here.

No matter how strong Yin Zhongxiu's strength is, can he defeat the lord.

No matter how fast the speed of speech is, can it escape its realm?

Bai Pu embarrassedly used a strip of cloth to stop the bleeding in his thigh, where he had been scratched by rune fragments, and he looked at the direction of the previous dementor array in a daze, and his heart was full of thoughts.

At the mention of the lord, he suddenly figured it out.

He had always wondered why there was such a strange sacrificial array, which not only had both offense and defense, but could also absorb abilities.

Now he finally understood that the formation arranged by the other party was actually a miniature field, and the domain of each ability was different, with attack and defense, different forms, but the essence was the same.

In a certain range of space, it can gain a great enhancement of some aspect of itself...... This is a large array that has been pushed back with the realm of four stages.

A small formation is so terrifying, it can force Yin Zhongxiu to throw out the gun, how strong should the real lord be?

……

Different from the confusion and despair of others, Xu Mu, who was standing on the top of the mountain, stepped on the wind element with a calm expression and slowly descended the mountain.

He didn't make any waves because of the tiger demon's imminent arrival.

If you have to have it, it is also a hint of fighting spirit.

The boy's boots were no more than fifty paces away from Velitaan, treading on the soft dirt.

"Isn't it time to go?"

Charles saw that the gray pupils were calm as usual, and even had a little fighting spirit, and had no intention of running away at all, so he was a little worried at the moment and reminded carefully.

Although, his current strength is more than twice as strong as in the second stage, but after all, this is a fourth-stage lord, and a head-on confrontation will definitely suffer, and the lord's domain will make up for all the gaps between the two.

And tonight's movement is too big, the strange night of Xishan is about to usher in the most terrifying time, maybe there will be more terrible things in the fog.

He didn't bring a howitzer tonight, so it's a bit dangerous.

"Don't worry, I won't fight that stupid tiger."

Xu Mu's gray pupils turned calm again, he really didn't think that he was the opponent of that lord-level tiger demon.

But he was confident that he would not be killed by the other party, or even injured, so he could easily escape.

After all, when he was in the second stage, he was already a frequent visitor to the core area.

And the reason why he is standing here is for the sake of Velitaan.

He needs to know what the other party has and where the limit is.

Then, find an opportunity to kill him and snatch the Book of Heaven.

Velitaan sensed Xu Mu's gaze, and became a little agitated at the moment.

His plan failed because of him, but he couldn't do it at will.

Because the lord-level tiger demon was obviously coming from this side, perhaps because of his formation, he provoked the big demon of the lord realm.

But since he dared to arrange these in the West Mountain, he naturally had a back hand to escape, and Velita was not particularly nervous, he left a teleportation array near here, and he could only take him alone.

The tiger demon at the lord level can't keep him.

But what's the use of just running away?

Velitaan clenched his fists angrily, if it weren't for this swordsman, he would be a lord now, why bother with that tiger and cause unnecessary trouble!

But then, he calmed down.

According to his estimates, in sixty seconds, the lord-level demon would arrive here.

He only needs to escape into the teleportation array prepared by his vision in the fog three seconds in advance, and he can escape.

And during this time, he can also control the rune storm that is about to collapse and carry out the last hunt.

Kill whom?

Yin Zhongxiu, who killed his scepter, and stabbed him with a sword.

Or the gray pupil that ruined his promotion path and stood fifty meters beside him.

Velitaan's face twitched slightly, if he didn't have to think about whether he could kill or not, he would definitely choose Xu Mu firmly.

But alas, a choice similar to this, he had already done it once just now.

He didn't kill Xu Mu, the other party's speed was too fast, and if he insisted on retreating, the lord couldn't keep it.

And if he rashly provokes this strange-tempered guy, it will be endless trouble.

After all, the other party has been watching the play there, in order to make a profit.

That guy has been coveting his own book for a long time!

……

Just when Velitaan was about to make up his mind to control the rune storm, Yin Zhongxiu had already taken the lead and used his ability to attack.

The old man's face was solemn, his sleeves waved, and the runes subconsciously defended.

As a result, the menacing Yin Zhongxiu retreated dozens of steps.

"So weak?"

Just as he was surprised, the familiar frost sword intent flashed again.

This time, he didn't dare to leave anything to chance, because just now, he was stabbed by that sword.

His method of cultivation originated from the West Asian continent.

Therefore, the muscles and veins are useless to him at all, otherwise he should be a waste person now.

It's just that words can stab him once, and they can stab him a second time, so for this sword, Velitaan was very cautious, and immediately used all the runes to protect himself.

But the words only flashed around him.

Velitaan was stunned for a second, and then he saw the young man, who had climbed up the mountain behind him at some point, picked up the unconscious man with a double axe in his hand, and quickly circled around and retreated to his original position.

As soon as he turned around, Yin Zhongxiu also took the opportunity to pick up the spear left on the ground, and then ran back.

They are just there to save people.

Only then did Velitaan realize that he had been tricked.

"You don't take me seriously either." The old man's expression was furious, he retrieved the scepter in the air, and then waved it violently, "Like to save people? Then don't go! ”

A fierce voice rang out, and the storm swirled, and countless rune fragments shot out in all directions.

Yin Zhongxiu and Yan had just returned to their original positions, and then they immediately stepped forward.

The two of them stood together, sword and gun, blocking all the runes that came at them.

Bell Bell Bell Bell ......

The words were expressionless, and he alone drew a delicate sword net in front of him, sparks splattered, and all the runes that flew were bounced away by the sword.

The same was true for Yin Zhongxiu, his broken spear was constantly waving and spinning in space, forming a barrier, and any attack that touched the barrier would be dissolved by the Yin Element.

But his speed was still a little weaker, and he didn't have the ability of the spirit system, so he quickly had several more scars of different shades on his body.

The people behind him took the pill and recovered as best they could, trying to help some.

"Damn!"

Veritaan's neck was red, and his face was purple, as if he was about to run out of oxygen.

The number of this rune is too much, such as Lin Ruhai, and it is very unstable, and he has a very hard time controlling it.

"I repeat, you can go first."

Yin Zhongxiu left beads of sweat on his forehead, and his lips were tired and white, this was not the first time he had said this.

He knew in his heart that these second-stage wounded people would actually have a hard time tonight, but he couldn't throw these subordinates who followed him from birth to death here.

"Let's go together, we can all go back safely tonight."

The words replied lightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" , the man was a little angry, "Now is not the time for some bullshit to live and die together, you are very important to the first division, you have to live." ”

"It's just that there is one person, you must guard against it, the incident three years ago was done by the deputy capital division, but you don't blame him, he is also for the division ......"

Yan looked at the man in front of him in a daze, he didn't expect Yin Zhongxiu to value him so much, and was even willing to sacrifice his life in exchange for him.

"That incident ...... three years ago," he thought slightly, he had actually forgotten what had happened.

In his world, there are only two things, one is to practice, and the other is to find holy relics, and as for joining the Demon Exterminator, it is just a matter of convenience.

He didn't care what others had done to him, in fact, as long as it didn't endanger his life, the rest didn't matter.

Looking into the eyes of the middle-aged man, the words were silent.

He really didn't lie to him.

Just now, in the shadows over there, he sensed two ability fluctuations.

One of them gave him the feeling of a rushing river, sharp and sharp, and he felt a tingle just by looking at it.

Words can perceive that the other party's cultivation path is about the same as his own, and it should also be the path of the sword, but that person's realm is higher, so he will feel that he is strong.

And what really made him feel that they would not have an accident tonight was another person hiding in the dark.

That fierce aura was certainly powerful, but it might not be the opponent of the four-stage tiger demon, but the other person was different.

His feeling is like a secluded pool hidden in the deep mountains, which is harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but in fact it is bottomless, and once he strikes, the secluded pool will turn into a vast sea, drowning everything in anger.

What realm would that person be, lord, or higher?

Words don't know, but he is sure that his perception will not be wrong, and the breath of the other party is extremely affinity.

So in the face of that big demon, he will definitely take action.

"You may not feel it, but it's actually ...... in the mountains"

The words suddenly came back to his senses, and he just wanted to explain to Yin Zhongxiu, but as soon as he was halfway through the words, he was interrupted by a female voice.

"Uncle!"

A crisp and lovely female voice sounded in the woods behind her, and everyone in the Demon Slayer turned back at the same time.

Rumble!

The pale yellow energy spread, and the dense trees suddenly lined up on both sides.

Then dozens of supernatural beings stepped out of that circle of light.

All of them exuded terrifying ability fluctuations, and there were several third-stage abilities, which made everyone a little breathless.

And standing at the forefront of them was a girl in a tattered red robe.

She called Uncle Yin Zhongxiu.

So the girl is naturally Yin Shui'er.
