Chapter 586: Chapter 585 Demon Clan

Swoosh!

Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks, eyes fixed on what was ahead.

A sharp sound of slicing the air arrived in an instant. In the blink of an eye, a cold gleam flashed from the void, appearing right before Ye Xuan’s eyes.

But, that cold gleam couldn’t advance any further.

It halted three inches in front of Ye Xuan, as if it had encountered some invisible resistance, unable to proceed.

It was only at this moment that one could clearly see the true form of that cold gleam.

It was actually a black short sword.

To call it a short sword would be fine, but to call it a dagger wouldn’t be too far off either.

The black short sword came to a standstill in front of Ye Xuan, frozen in place.

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, his black eyes unrippled.

Boom!

Without any visible movement from Ye Xuan, the black short sword suddenly turned to dust.

"Just a little Demon Soldier..." murmured Ye Xuan.

As Ye Xuan’s voice faded, on the distant ground, a group of small black dots was moving rapidly, accompanied by roars and battle cries.

However, several figures in the lead were treading through the air!

The group of small black dots moved at an extremely fast pace, reaching right below Ye Xuan in merely ten breaths’ time, intending to surround him.

Unfortunately for them, most of these fellows couldn’t fly; only five of them could.

Those five figures promptly surrounded Ye Xuan from all sides, looking ferocious, growling lowly from their throats.

Only then was one able to see the true faces of these beings.

One by one, they were all exceedingly tall and robust, standing at least three meters in height. The shorter ones were over two meters tall, each exuding a fearsome aura. At their joints, there were black and fierce barbs shining with a cold light.

They appeared incredibly ferocious and ugly. Their blood-red eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty and violent temperament.

Yet, it seemed they couldn’t speak, muttering around Ye Xuan, though it was unclear what they were saying.

"Five Demon Soldiers, three hundred demons..." Ye Xuan casually glanced and swiftly grasped the situation at the scene.

Those five who could fly were Demon Soldiers.

The other creatures from the Demon Clan below were the most inferior demons.

The hierarchy of the Demon Clan differed quite a bit from that of cultivators.

For instance, those demons below were the most common in the Demon Clan.

These lower-level demons were equivalent to the first five realms of the Human Clan cultivators, namely Body Refinement, Reach Profound, Divine Gate, Daoist Platform, and Inscriptions Realm.

They did not have such distinctions, instead being categorized into lower, middle, and upper levels.

The lower-level demons roughly corresponded to the Body Refinement and Reach Profound levels of Human Clan cultivators.

Middle-level demons were roughly at the Divine Gate and Daoist Platform Realms.

Upper-level demons were comparable to the Inscriptions Realm.

These creatures had almost no spiritual wisdom to speak of. Their only consciousness was to eat humans.

Upon sensing the aura of humans, they would swarm together!

Those Demon Soldiers above the demons, who surrounded Ye Xuan, had strength comparable to that of princes to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

Similarly, Demon Soldiers were divided into lower, middle, and upper levels.

These corresponded to the Earth Element, Grotto Heaven, and Heavenly Phenomenon Realms of Human Clan cultivators.

The five Demon Soldiers present were all upper-level, equivalent to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

In comparison to demons, the Demon Soldiers underwent a significant change. They could fly, and they also possessed spiritual wisdom.

Of course, this so-called spiritual wisdom meant that when they faced powerful Human Clan cultivators, they would know to call upon other members of the Demon Clan to join the fight and then... devour their prey!

Demons eating humans was never just a myth; it was a reality.

In fact, apart from the Demon Clan, many other species also ate humans!

During the far-off Wilderness Era, the Human Clan was nothing more than blood food for other species, standing at the very bottom.

As someone who had risen from the Mythical Era, Ye Xuan had witnessed much of history.

"Roar!"

While Ye Xuan was pondering, the five upper-level Demon Soldiers seemed to have finished their discussion and moved to attack Ye Xuan simultaneously!

They had a very strong sensitivity to aura and knew that Ye Xuan’s strength was comparable to theirs, so with five of them together, they had a significant chance of success.

The speed of the five upper-level Demon Soldiers was swift, almost flashing by in an instant, lunging to kill Ye Xuan!

Although the strength of upper-level Demon Soldiers was somewhat similar to that of Human Clan cultivators at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, in truth, they didn’t possess any Divine Communication Skills, relying solely on brute force for combat.

Speed, strength!

That was their power.

Their claws and fangs were their weapons!

As for the black dagger that was just shot at Ye Xuan, it was obviously obtained after they had consumed the people of the East Desolate Mo Family.

The people of the Mo Family battle with the Demon Clan of the Demon Realm all year round, suffering great casualties on both sides.

Every year, a considerable number of the Mo Family die in the stomachs of the demons.

Similarly, countless demons perish at the hands of the Mo Family each year.

Especially Mo Yunchui, known as the Eastern Desolate Demon Slaughter, is reputed to have slain over a million demons, truly a formidable hero of his generation.

As the five superior Demon Soldiers moved to act, Ye Xuan also made his move, albeit belated.

When he was still, he was as stable as Mount Tai; when he moved, he was like swift and fierce thunder.

In that dry and intense air, a blue streak of lightning appeared, accompanied by a flash and the peel of thunder.

Boom!

A loud explosion.

The five superior Demon Soldiers instantly shattered to pieces.

At the same time, Ye Xuan landed before the three hundred demons below.

The three hundred demons seemed to have not yet reacted.

After Ye Xuan landed firmly, with a light stomp of his foot, a long sword condensed from black matter suddenly appeared beside him.

Ye Xuan’s right hand reached out from his pocket and slowly grasped the hilt of that black long sword, his black pupils coldly sweeping over the three hundred demons: "A bunch of filthy creatures..."

In Ye Xuan’s heart, he very much disliked these races that fed on humans.

Sometimes, he even failed to comprehend how such despicable beings could give rise to extraordinary individuals.

When such individuals emerged, they looked completely different from the rest of the Demon Clan.

But in reality, Ye Xuan was well aware that this was simply the natural Dao of the world, the survival of the fittest.

"Roar!"

Ye Xuan’s words seemed to enrage this group of inhuman demons who roared furiously, turning into their most primitive fierce beast form, and lunged to attack.

Actually, they couldn’t understand Ye Xuan’s words; they were merely reacting to the scent of a human, a delicacy to them.

Between demons and humans, there needn’t be any so-called provocation.

Standing opposite each other meant a battle of life and death.

Swoosh!

Ye Xuan, with the black long sword in hand, flickered in an instant, unleashing a swift strike.

A line seemed to cut through the heavens and the earth.

The next moment.

The hideous heads of the three hundred demons were all tossed high into the air, blood spraying wildly, while their bodies still instinctively surged forward, only to collapse after a short while.

With one sword strike, Ye Xuan killed all three hundred demons in an instant.

To the current Ye Xuan, slaughtering three hundred demons was as easy as pouring tea and drinking water, effortlessly casual.

Ye Xuan did not even look back as he loosened his right hand, the long sword that had been summoned from thin air turned into tiny particles of dust, dissipating in the air.

Continuing forward.

Such adversaries were not even qualified for him to warm up with.

At the very least, they would have to be at the level of Demon Soldiers to suffice.

Above the Demon Soldiers were those of the level of Demon Generals.

Demon Generals were also divided into lower, middle, and upper tiers, corresponding to the realms of Life Palace, Yin Yang, and Longevity.

And the ranks above Demon Generals were those of the Heavenly Human Realm or higher.

Ye Xuan actually hoped to encounter a Demon General, a good opportunity to train his Taoist Body.

Now that the Taoist Body had entered the Miao Xuan Stage, he had yet to truly engage in a major battle.

Ye Xuan continued to follow Meng Chan’s scent, pressing on.

Meanwhile, in the direction Ye Xuan was headed, within a deep valley, a group of demons huddled around a bonfire, speaking in their demonic language.

"Lately the exits from the Demon Realm have been unstable, there shouldn’t have been anyone from the East Desolate Mo Family coming through, so why has someone else arrived?"

Why do they say "again"?

Because four days prior, a young human girl had appeared and before they could react, she had crossed the boundary and left.

"That guy who can kill an upper-tier Demon Soldier in a second, his flesh must be very tender and delicious," a few ugly demons muttered, their sanguine eyes filled with bloodlust.

"Is that person really alone?" a more ’delicate-looking’ demon frowned and inquired, "There are rumors that our Demon Clan might be making big moves soon, it’s possible that the Mo Family sent someone to investigate..."

"Mo Fei, why are you so cowardly, isn’t it just a human? Any one of us could take him down easily," another demon muttered.

The ’delicate-looking’ demon called Mo Fei shook his head slightly, "The bunch from the Mo Family are very cunning, we need to be cautious."

"Besides, I don’t want to see a repeat of what happened four days ago..."

"Send three Demon Soldiers with five hundred Demon Infantry to intercept and capture him. I want to extract some information from him," Mo Fei directed.
