“I’ll tear you both apart with my own hands!”
The Demon Emperor roared, accelerating as he charged after them.
Wang Xing’an and Ye Yan dared not be careless. They ran for their lives with every ounce of strength they had.
In the distance, the Fourth Great Sky Demon, An Zhou, stood silently, with a demon offspring by his side.
This demon was named An Zhenkuan, one of An Zhou’s most talented descendants.
His body carried more than half the bloodline of a Great Sky Demon.
Now, he had already reached the threshold of the Demon Emperor Realm.
An Zhenkuan couldn’t help but say, “Father Demon, why don’t we act and kill those two human Demon Suppression Guards?”
“They got the location of the altar and even ruined the resurrection plan. If they escape back to the outpost alive, it’s practically a slap in your face!”
“You’d definitely be looked down upon by the other Great Sky Demons.”
An Zhou just smiled slightly. “Tell me, if they bring the altar’s location back, how will the Demon Suppression Fortress react?”
An Zhenkuan paused. “They’ll send a Dharma Manifestation Realm expert to destroy the altar—maybe even destroy the Great Demon Emperor’s severed limbs…”
An Zhou chuckled. “And who do you think will come?”
A certain human’s figure instantly flashed through An Zhenkuan’s mind.
“Shen Mo! It has to be Shen Mo!”
“He’s said to be one of the very strongest among all Dharma Manifestation Realm experts.”
An Zhenkuan couldn’t help but add, “I’ve heard that on the bounty list, Shen Mo’s name has already risen to the top three, just below Shi Tian and Ao Guang.”
“Lord An Cang and Lord An Chen have both added Great Demon Emperor blood as bounty, especially Lord An Cang—he even offered three drops of Great Demon Emperor blood!”
An Zhou smiled. “Exactly. If we can kill Shen Mo, that’s a full eight drops of Great Demon Emperor blood.”
“With that, I’d have a chance to break through to the peak of the Demon Emperor Realm.”
An Zhenkuan instantly understood, his eyes lighting up. “So you mean… lure the enemy in?”
An Zhou nodded approvingly. “That’s right. It’s a classic human tactic.”
“Now, we’ll turn it around and use it against the humans!”
An Zhenkuan agreed wholeheartedly, nodding in approval.
However, hearing the low roars from the distance, he pointed toward the departing Demon Emperor. “Father Demon, what about An Zhenlong? He’s completely lost it.”
“We’re not far from the outpost now. I’m worried…” An Zhenkuan said quietly.
An Zhou replied calmly, “I know what you’re concerned about. Shen Mo’s strength is formidable—you’re worried that An Long will die at Shen Mo’s hands?”
An Zhenkuan nodded awkwardly.
They had long since witnessed just how terrifying Shen Mo was.
In the past, even the Third Great Sky Demon, An Mie, had died at Shen Mo’s hands.
None of these Demon Emperors possessed the power of Authority. Up against Shen Mo, they’d almost certainly be at a disadvantage.
An Zhou spoke calmly, “Let me tell you—he will definitely die.”
An Zhenkuan was stunned.
An Zhou continued, “He’s been cursed with the Evil Curse Power. There are very few Dharma Manifestation Realm experts who could kill him, and the biggest target is Shen Mo. As long as he dies, I can unleash a curse-kill on Shen Mo.”
“Perhaps I won’t be able to kill Shen Mo outright, but I will definitely be able to inflict serious injury.”
“The poison of the Evil Curse will linger in his body.”
“In this way, our plan to lure the enemy deeper will succeed.”
Upon hearing this, An Zhenkuan felt even greater admiration.
“Your Evil Curse Power is truly the most sinister, most vicious, and hardest to detect among the ten types of Authority.”
“That Shen Mo, driven to save others, is sure to fall for it!”
An Zhou nodded. “As long as we can wound Shen Mo, sacrificing one Demon Emperor is nothing.”
An Zhenkuan nodded as well.
Yet a faint fear crept into his heart.
If they could sacrifice An Zhenlong today, would An Zhenkuan himself be sacrificed tomorrow?
