Master of the Demon Emperor

Not acquainted?

Then how do you want to be acquainted?

Nan Xiaopao's jealousy surged in an instant, but in such a critical moment, she couldn't question him. She could only pout while running, which looked quite comical.

Soon, the two arrived at the base of a skyscraper. Su Yie promptly picked up Nan Xiaopao, stepped on the wall of the building, and soared upward using the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps as if he was walking on flat ground.

They reached the top of the hundred-meter-tall building in less than five seconds.

From there, they could clearly see the entire city's dire situation, as well as the unbridled figure of the Bat Empress.

"What are we doing here?"

Nan Xiaopao asked, still very nervous as Su Yie was about to fight again.

The grim state Su Yie had been in after the last battle with the Black Scaled King was something she would never forget.

Su Yie whispered, "Don't be afraid, close your eyes."

"Close my eyes? Why?"

Nan Xiaopao asked in confusion, but still obediently closed her eyes.

Towards Su Yie, she had always been completely compliant and utterly trusting.

"You can only open them when I tell you to,"

Su Yie instructed, and Nan Xiaopao nodded.

Immediately, Su Yie looked up at the Bat Empress, his gaze full of playfulness and concealed murderous intent!

The Bat Empress also felt his killing intent and instinctively turned her head to look.

"A half-demon... with strong vitality. Could it be the same one who killed the Black Scaled King and forced back Kuang Chu'e?"

The Bat Empress narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself, her gaze suddenly locking onto Nan Xiaopao, her eyes becoming piercingly sharp.

At the same time, Su Yie commanded in his mind, "Use the Divine Shadow Legion!"

Immediately after, shadows emerged around his feet, arising from the ground, exactly six of them. They were the shadows of Wux Qingyao, Elder Lord Qi Yang, Demon Lord Qing Yan, Black Tiger Emperor, Xia Tianyi, and Demon Wolf Star— all silent and ghostlike.

Among them, the Black Tiger Emperor stood three zhang tall, imposing in stature. The Demon Lord Qing Yan appeared unremarkable, similar in form to the Demon Wolf Star, while Xia Tianyi was easily identifiable with dual swords at his waist.

Strangely, Su Yie glanced around and with just one look, he mysteriously recognized each one's identity.

Perhaps under the influence of the Great Dao Communication Device, he felt a mental connection with the Divine Shadow Legion, able to control them with just a thought.

This feeling...

It was simply exhilarating!

He looked again at the Bat Empress, the murderous intent in his eyes growing even more intense.

The Bat Empress took notice of the six shadows by his side, but paid no mind, thinking they were just low-level spells with no actual presence.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Could she be the Sacred Lotus of Qiling?"

The Bat Empress thought to herself. Having lived for thousands of years and been fortunate enough to witness the previous Sacred Body of Qiling, she found Nan Xiaopao's aura very familiar.

Elsewhere, the citizens of the city began to flee en masse, with those living near the city outskirts running out of the city directly.

Xiwan City, which had only recently regained stability, was thrown into chaos again, as if it had returned to the beginning of the turmoil.

"Run for it!"

"Help me! Someone save me!"

"There are demons outside, don't go out!"

"Staying here means certain death! Everyone, follow me and escape! With more people, we can fend off the demons together!"

"There are more demons inside the city than outside, are you guys nuts?"

Cries and curses, screams and shouts filled the dim and dreadful atmosphere of Xiwan City.

When the Demon Army charged down, Xiwan City was doomed, and the people's hearts scattered.

In the distance, Tan Quanming also entered a helicopter under the escort of Zhang Yicheng.

They were preparing to flee as well.

"Alas, I still can't protect Xiwan City,"

Tan Quanming sighed deeply as the helicopter took off.

At that moment, the Bat Empress, staring at Nan Xiaopao, sneered, "The Sacred Body of Qiling? Swear allegiance to me, and I'll help you grow stronger!"

Nan Xiaopao, with her eyes closed, heard the voice but did not open her eyes or respond.

Su Yie hummed, "You little imp dare to claim my woman?"

Little imp!

The Bat Empress's eyes instantly narrowed, and with a sweep of her right hand, demonic power transformed into countless bats that shrieked and swooped toward Su Yie and his companion.

Su Yie's lips curved into a disdainful sneer.

Immediately after, the Divine Shadow of Xia Tianyi behind him suddenly moved.

He leaped forward, silent and windless, his speed as swift as a thunderclap, causing the Bat Empress's pupils to contract.

The Bat Empress flipped her hand and produced a black scythe, furiously cleaving downwards.

Before Xia Tianyi's Divine Shadow even reached the Bat Empress, it fiercely swung its sword, the Sword Qi brightening the whole world as if it were daylight.

"How is this possible…"

The Bat Empress's eyes widened, and before she could react, the Sword Qi pierced through her body, slicing her in two!

Then, the Sword Qi soared upward, splitting the rolling thunderclouds, carving a hundred-meter long gash, and the sunlight followed, falling down like the first ray after a storm.

Demon Wolf Star, racing through the city, happened to witness this scene, his mouth agape, his face a picture of disbelief.

Even Wux Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and other disciples of the Luoshui Sect were taken aback.

One sword to slay the Bat Empress?

Who was that?

Elsewhere, on the top of a skyscraper.

Su Yie clenched his fists—Xia Tianyi did not deceive him!

Last time he said no more than two swords, it truly wasn't an empty boast!

He then ordered the other Divine Shadows to begin slaughtering all the monsters inside Xiwan City; with a thought, the Divine Shadow Legion disappeared behind him.

At the same time, high above, Xia Tianyi's Divine Shadow launched another sword strike, and thousands of intertwining Sword Qi surged out, completely obliterating the Bat Empress's physical body and her Nascent Soul, leaving only a Demon Core to descend.

That Demon Core remained only because Su Yie had specifically instructed for it to be spared; otherwise, even the Demon Core would have turned to ash.

Su Yie immediately leaped up and caught the Demon Core.

This spectacle was seen by Wux Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and others, and they inhaled sharply in shock.

Could that mysterious shadow have been sent by Su Yie?

"Could it be that Emperor Su is supporting us from the shadows?"

Wux Qingyao frowned, thinking. That was the Bat Empress, and she had been killed in an instant?

Outside the city, the Four Elders of Great Wei also witnessed the Bat Empress being slain and saw Su Yie leap to capture the Demon Core.

They exchanged glances, not feeling the embarrassment of being proven wrong, but filled with excitement instead.

Such was Su Yie, a favor from him proved to be a great profit!

Should Great Wei face a national crisis one day, they could ask Su Yie to turn the tide!

"This young man, he is remarkable."

"I feel he will become a major figure in the Demon Clan!"

"Not just that, he has many more cards up his sleeve that he hasn't shown, perhaps he hails from a massive power."

"Fortunately, we did not insist on detaining him back then."

The Four Elders of Great Wei sighed with emotion, feeling agitated and unable to contain themselves.

Meanwhile, the Divine Shadow Legion began to massacre the monsters.

The Divine Shadow of Demon Lord Qing Yan was extremely domineering; each time he appeared, all the monsters within a hundred meters would die at the same moment.

The Black Tiger Emperor's Divine Shadow was also formidable, tearing monsters apart with his bare hands and feet.

The Divine Shadow of Demon Wolf Star was extremely fast, like a phantom.

Soon enough, he encountered Demon Wolf Star himself.

"Damn! Isn't this my own shadow?"

Demon Wolf Star exclaimed in astonishment, recognizing the shadow that looked exactly like him and even trod the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps immediately.

Unfortunately, the Divine Shadow did not pay heed to him, passing by him, and as he hurriedly followed, he found the Divine Shadow was actually slaughtering demons.
