The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 116 Su An Enters the Battlefield to Stop Human Infighting

In the central continent of Xuantian, in the eastern region of the Hundred Thousand Demon Beasts Mountain, near the abyss.

The demon king raised his enormous spiked club and swung it at the four of them.

Dugu Xin, Chu Ji, He Shihui, and Ji Mi raised their swords together to block the demon king's falling mace.

Seeing that the demon king was not easy to deal with, he did not linger in the fight, but instead turned to attack the human cultivators next to him.

With one blow, a white-robed cultivator fell into a pool of blood; with another blow, a black-robed cultivator, his face unrecognizable, also collapsed to the ground.

“If this continues, the human cultivators will likely be wiped out,” Dugu Xin said.

“But our cultivation is not high enough. Even with the energy of the Xuan Tian Stone, we cannot harm the Demon King. Ninth-rank martial artists from the Floating Life Continent are nothing compared to the Demon King,” He Shihui said.

“These human cultivators are all more powerful than you and me. If it weren’t for the energy from the Xuan Tian Stone, we would have already perished,” Chu Ji said.

As soon as Chu Ji finished speaking, a demonic beast pounced on him, but before its claws could reach him, He Shi Hui's sword blocked Chu Ji's chest.

Subsequently, more and more monsters pounced on them, and the four of them began to struggle to keep up.

Sweat was already rolling down Ji Mi's body; she was starting to run out of energy.

Just then, a giant sword appeared in the air and unleashed a sword aura towards the area where Ji Mi and the other three were located.

The moment the giant sword was retracted, the demonic beast in front of Ji Mi and the other three had been cut in half.

Then, the giant sword flew towards the demon king.

"Senior Sister," a Xuan Tian Sect disciple dressed in white called out.

"Concentrate our forces to deal with the Demon King." The woman called "Senior Sister" was none other than Su An.

However, at this moment, a Wuji Sect disciple dressed in black slashed at the Xuantian Sect disciple with his sword.

"Disciples of Xuantian Sect, listen to my command! There are demon spies among you. Immediately cease your attack on Wuji Sect and focus all your efforts on attacking the Demon King and the demon beasts!" Su An's voice resounded across the battlefield through his Lion's Roar technique.

After Su An finished shouting, he blocked an attack for the Xuan Tian Sect disciple, but he did not attack the Wu Ji Sect disciple. Instead, he charged directly at the Demon King.

"Wuji Sect, heed my command! Cease your attack on Xuantian Sect and unleash your full power to kill the demonic beasts!" The voice of the Wuji Sect elder echoed across the battlefield.

Ji Mi and his companions did not flee immediately, but stayed behind to kill the monsters.

That Xuantian Sect disciple was about to be bitten by the demon beast.

Dugu Xin beheaded the monster with a single sword stroke.

"Thanks. Which sect are you from? You're not some rogue cultivators, are you? This is extremely dangerous," said the Xuantian Sect disciple who had been rescued.

"Sword Immortal Sect." He Shihui thrust his sword again, aiming at the demonic beast charging towards the Xuan Tian Sect disciple.

"Thank you, my name is Lu Xuan," said the Xuan Tian Sect disciple.

At this moment, the Demon Queen was dealing with several elders from the Xuan Tian Sect and the Wu Ji Sect. Seeing that the demon beasts on Dugu Xin's side had suffered heavy losses, she abandoned the elders and charged towards Dugu Xin and his group.

"Not good, get out of the way!" Chu Ji had barely finished speaking when the Xuan Tian Sect disciple named Lu Xuan collapsed to the ground.

Lu Xuan was grabbed in the chest by the Demon Queen's claw, and blood stained his white clothes. He fell into a pool of blood.

"Lu Xuan." A disciple of the Xuantian Sect rushed over, but was slapped away by the Demon Queen.

"Go quickly," Lu Xuan said with his last breath.

"Lu Xuan, I will definitely avenge you." After saying this, the Xuan Tian Sect disciple turned and fled.

"Want to leave? No way," the Demon Queen said.

Then, the Demon Queen chased after the Xuan Tian Sect disciple.

"Be careful," Ji Mi said.

Seeing that the Demon Queen had left, Dugu Xin and his companions continued to slay the demon beasts.

The elders of the Xuantian Sect and the Wuji Sect were quite puzzled to see the Demon Queen chasing after several young people with low cultivation levels.

"Who are you people? Why is the Demon Queen chasing after you?" an elder from the Wuji Sect asked.

“We are from the Sword Immortal Sect,” He Shihui said.

"The Sword Immortal Sect? You're also from the Floating Life Continent?" said the elder of the Wuji Sect.

“Yes, we come from the Floating Life Continent,” He Shihui said.

"This is your sect's first time participating in the Demon Realm trial, isn't it? We've already met all the other sects on the Floating Life Continent," said the elder of the Wuji Sect.

“Yes, this is our sect’s first time participating in the Demon Realm trial,” He Shihui said.

"The people of the Floating Life Continent are truly strange. Our Demon Realm training has always had a rule that only those with cultivation levels above the True Essence Realm can participate. It's really strange that your sect would send disciples like you, who are only at the Body Refinement Realm, to train here," said the elder of the Boundless Sect.

"You all train here first, we'll go deal with the Demon King." After saying this, the Wuji Sect elder flew towards the Demon King's location.

At this moment, the Demon King is confronting Su An.

The Demon King released a powerful demonic aura, and the surrounding area was littered with the corpses of demonic beasts. The disciples of Xuantian Sect and Wuji Sect had already retreated to the side.

"Su An, your Xuan Tian Sect and Wu Ji Sect come to the Demon Realm every year for training, killing countless of my Demon Realm citizens. Today, I will take your life," the Demon King said.

"It's just a matter of the strong preying on the weak," Su An said. He knew that humans were in the wrong, but he couldn't show weakness in terms of momentum.

"You are just bloodthirsty people; you just carelessly discard the corpses of those demonic beasts," the Demon King said.

“The strong prey on the weak. We humans need to cultivate, and the demon cores, demon bones, and demon organs of demon beasts are all excellent cultivation materials. Of course, we should hunt demon beasts,” Su An said.

"You humans are truly shameless, slaughtering so many living beings for your own benefit," the Demon King said.

"Hmph, you demon beasts have killed us humans too, so it's only natural for us humans to kill you demon beasts," Su An said.

"Hmph, then let's see if you have the ability to kill me." After saying that, the Demon King charged towards Su An.

Su An also went to meet them, and the two instantly clashed.

Both were at the peak of the True Essence Realm, and their strength was evenly matched. For a time, neither could gain the upper hand.

At this moment, the Demon Queen had already caught up with the disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

"Boy, prepare to die!" After saying that, the Demon Queen slapped the Xuan Tian Sect disciple.

Upon seeing this, the Xuan Tian Sect disciple immediately summoned his magic weapon and blocked the Demon Queen's attack.

"boom."

With a loud bang, the Xuantian Sect disciple was sent flying by the Demon Queen's attack, falling to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Haha, what a useless thing, so easily defeated," the Demon Queen said.

"Empress, I'll fight you to the death!" After saying this, the Xuan Tian Sect disciple charged towards the Empress.

"Overestimating yourself." After saying that, the Demon Queen kicked the Xuan Tian Sect disciple away.

"puff."

The Xuantian Sect disciple coughed up another mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"Utterly useless, so easily defeated," the Empress Dowager said.

Then, the Demon Queen turned and left, ignoring the already dead Xuantian Sect disciple.

At this moment, Ji Mi and his companions had already killed dozens of demonic beasts, but the number of demonic beasts around them was increasing.

"This can't go on; we need to think of a solution," Chu Ji said.

“These monsters seem to come in an endless stream. We’ve killed so many, yet there are still so many left,” He Shihui said.

“Yes, we need to find a way, otherwise we’ll be worn down by these monsters sooner or later,” Dugu Xin said.
