Chapter 1386 Could it really be him?
With its strength, let alone three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in front of it, even if there were one more, it was confident that it could seriously injure one of them under siege and then escape calmly.
Hmph, do you really think everyone is as strong as that sword cultivator? Such a peerless genius who can kill enemies of higher levels as easily as killing chickens is hard to come by even once in a million years.
Thinking of this, the Azure Demon Lord stood even straighter, tilted his head back, and looked at the three people above without showing any weakness, as if he would attack if they didn't move aside.
Seeing that the demon lord was not giving an inch, Zhuang Heng felt a slight tightening in his heart and decided to abandon his risky idea.
Although the wolf demon was severely injured, the three of them together were confident that they could defeat it with a 60-70% chance.
However, if the opponent really fights desperately, the three of them might get injured. If they damage their foundation in a fierce battle, it would be too much of a loss.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head almost imperceptibly, reminding the two not to act rashly, and then said:
“Demon Lord, you misunderstand. We just happened to be passing by and noticed some unusual fluctuations ahead, so we came here to investigate. It was purely by chance that we met you here. If you have any business to attend to, you are free to leave at any time, and we will not stop you.”
As he spoke, he smiled kindly and asked, "However, I still want to ask the Demon Lord a question. I saw that the Demon Lord came from that direction. I wonder if the Demon Lord knows what happened there?"
"Just happened to be passing by?" The Azure Demon Lord sneered.
This place is only a little over 100,000 miles away from the Demon King's cave. Humans have always avoided it like the plague, not daring to set foot here even a little bit, for fear that the Demon King will notice and capture them to be used as snacks.
These three clearly sneaked in, yet they claimed it was just a coincidence that they happened to be passing by. It's laughable.
However, it did not expose the truth; instead, it breathed a sigh of relief.
The combined strength of these three was only slightly greater than its own, so it wasn't particularly afraid of them.
But it feared that lingering here would waste its time and allow the ruthless swordsman who killed demons without blinking an eye to catch up with it; that was the one who could truly take its life.
Upon hearing this, the Azure Demon Lord merely smiled contemptuously: "Ridiculous. Don't tell me you don't know that's the cave of the Mountain-Shaking Demon King."
As it spoke, it glanced behind it seemingly unintentionally, a hint of anxiety and impatience flashing in its eyes, and said:
"If you want to know what's there, you're welcome to go see for yourselves. I don't have time to chat with you!"
After saying that, it snorted coldly, glanced at the three people above, and then quickly disappeared into the distance.
A gust of wind swept through, leaving only three people standing in place.
After a moment, Junior Brother Xu withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "This wolf demon is leaving in such a hurry, it doesn't seem like it's traveling, it seems more like it's fleeing for its life..."
Zhuang Heng nodded solemnly and replied in a deep voice, "It seems that something has really happened to the Demon King of Hanshan."
"Could it be that……"
Junior Brother Xu pondered for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Could it be that the demonic sword cultivator and the Mountain-Shaking Demon King really got into a fight, and even scared away this wolf demon?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Heng was startled, then nodded solemnly and said:
"Since that sword cultivator was able to capture this wolf demon, his strength, even if not as great as the Mountain-Shaking Demon King, must be about the same. It is quite possible that the commotion was caused by their fight."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Yun Fengzhu immediately shook his head in denial:
“Fellow Daoist Zhuang, you are mistaken. If what you said earlier is correct, the sword cultivator you saw should be a junior brother who came here with me.”
"Although he is quite strong and is known as invincible among his peers, his cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He can easily deal with ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivators, but to be honest, he is still somewhat inferior to us."
As he spoke, he smiled confidently: "Based on my understanding of him, even if his physical body has made some breakthroughs, he is now only slightly stronger than the Demon Lord. It is probably impossible for him to contend with the Demon King."
After hearing what Zhuang Heng and the other person said, he was immediately certain that the demonic sword cultivator was Jiang Han.
Although I don't know how that guy managed to break through again in such a short time.
Moreover, as soon as he broke through, he instantly killed more than a hundred demon cultivators and even captured the infamous Azure Demon Lord alive.
This level of strength is already far superior to his...
Yun Fengzhu's gaze was dark. Since descending to the lower realm, he had almost watched Jiang Han's strength increase step by step.
At the beginning, the opponent was just a junior at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage who could be easily suppressed.
But only a few months have passed, and that kid has gone crazy, breaking through realms all the way, his cultivation has increased dramatically, and now he is even stronger than me!
What a terrifying guy! The title of unparalleled genius is truly well-deserved.
To be honest, when he first descended to the mortal realm, he had the opportunity to be called "Uncle-Master" by Jiang Han.
But now, looking back, it seems that when they return to the Upper Realm, he will be the one to turn around and call Jiang Han "Uncle-Master".
Thinking of this, Yun Fengzhu couldn't help but shudder and shake his head.
No, no, this is too embarrassing, it absolutely cannot happen!
Everything that happened before was only Zhuang Heng and his group's side of the story, and it's hard to say whether it's true or false.
Even though Jiang Han's strength has surpassed his, that demon king is the king of this place, above them, with strength comparable to a Nascent Soul Grand Perfection expert.
Even he dared not offend such beings in the slightest, for fear of causing trouble.
Jiang Han had only just broken through, so how dare he go looking for trouble with the Demon King?
There must be some misunderstanding here.
"Whether it is or not, we'll find out when we go and see."
Zhuang Heng looked up at the battlefield and said, "I can sense that the fighting has subsided, which means the battle has ended."
“Let’s get closer and see. If it really is Fellow Daoist Yun’s junior brother, we’ll find a way to rescue him. If not, then we’ll make other plans.”
"Senior brother..."
Seeing that Zhuang Heng was really going, Junior Brother Xu's face paled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "That is the territory of the Demon King of Hanshan. If the Demon King is not in trouble, wouldn't we be like lambs to the slaughter?"
Regardless of whether the demonic swordsman actually fought the Demon King, the fact that they could cause such a commotion clearly indicates that these two are powerful figures they cannot afford to provoke.
A seemingly ruthless demonic swordsman who kills demons as easily as killing chickens, displaying extreme cruelty.
The other was even more ruthless, taking pleasure in torturing and humiliating prisoners.
Either of these two freaks could easily take their lives if you mess with either of them!
Zhuang Heng naturally understood his junior brother's concerns. To be honest, he didn't want to take the risk either, but if that person really was Fellow Daoist Yun's junior brother, then he would be one of their own.
If they could win him over, he would be a very powerful ally who would be of great help to their next plan.
"It's alright. I will use a secret treasure to conceal our presence. We will only take a glance from afar, and the Demon King will not notice us."
He offered a slight reassurance, then turned to Yun Fengzhu: "What does Fellow Daoist Yun think?"
Yunfengzhu naturally wouldn't object.
Even though he was 90% certain that the swordsman was Jiang Han, he still harbored a sliver of hope.
What if it is? What if it isn't?
What if there's another peerless genius here whose talent is almost on par with Jiang Han's, and who also happens to cultivate the sword path?
Although he knew it was unlikely to be such a coincidence, he couldn't help but think in that direction.
It wasn't that he was deceiving himself; he simply didn't want to admit that he had been left behind by a genius from a lower realm.
Moreover, the relationship between this genius and their Holy Sect is quite delicate, and no one can say for sure whether they will become enemies in the future.
Making an enemy of such a prodigy is even more terrifying than having him call Jiang Han "Uncle-Master".
