The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 587 - 586 Ambush

Chapter 587: Chapter 586 Ambush

The "refined" demon of the Demon Clan named Mo Fei quickly issued orders.

Even though the surrounding demons felt Mo Fei was making a mountain out of a molehill, they dared not disobey.

The reason was simple. Mo Fei was the most powerful Demon General in their region!

Among the Demon Clan, there was never much fuss—strength determined everything, and the strong called the shots.

If there was resistance, it meant death.

Upon receiving Mo Fei’s command, the demons promptly sprang into action.

This time, the ambush was led by three Demon Soldiers, with five hundred Demon Sub-soldiers in tow.

This force was more than a thousand times stronger than the one Ye Xuan had previously faced!

In fact, the group that had attacked earlier had also been sent by Mo Fei.

In recent times, the Mo family hadn’t appeared because the exit from the Demon Realm was unstable.

This was well understood by both the Mo family and the Demon Clan.

But now, a member of the Human Clan had appeared, flying recklessly past, and this made Mo Fei cautious.

Four days ago, a young human girl had also sneaked past this realm, and even killed many powerful demons. Because of that incident, he had narrowly escaped death at the hands of a mid-ranking Demon General.

Therefore, today’s matter could not be taken lightly at all.

The incident from four days ago must not be repeated.

The three Demon Soldiers and five hundred Demon Sub-soldiers all moved out, swiftly setting up an ambush on the path Ye Xuan would take.

Yes!

Ambush!

It had been said before that once one became a Demon Sub-soldier, Spiritual Wisdom would awaken, and for those at the Demon Soldier level, they would definitely use their brains.

And even more so when they were under the command of a Demon General like Mo Fei.

Although Mo Fei was only a lower-ranking Demon General, he was already the most powerful entity in this region, and it was said that Mo Fei’s Spiritual Wisdom could rival that of some higher-ranking Demon Generals.

This was also why Mo Fei had survived the incident four days ago.

Otherwise, he probably would have been killed by the mid-ranking Demon General that followed.

With Mo Fei devising strategies, they had devoured quite a few members of the Mo family.

Therefore, they were even more convinced that following Mo Fei was the right choice, and heeding his every command was the best course of action.

The three Demon Soldiers lay in ambush in the thick, dark clouds above, three hundred Demon Sub-soldiers were scattered around, while the remaining two hundred were dispersed underground.

As soon as that member of the Human Clan showed up, they would strike immediately, capture him, and bring him back to Mo Fei.

Gauging the time, their breathing gradually became calm, until there was no hint of breath at all.

Because they knew that the member of the Human Clan was rapidly approaching.

"This guy is fast..."

"No wonder he can kill superior Demon Sub-soldiers in seconds."

All the demons saw at the edge of their vision, a figure like a bolt of lightning, continuously weaving through the air at an extreme speed.

"It’s just a pity that we’re not mere Demon Sub-soldiers, but real Demon Soldiers!" one of the three Demon Soldiers said, baring his teeth and eager for action.

"Eh..."

"Why is it raining now?"

At this point, all three Demon Soldiers were taken aback.

The Demon Sub-soldiers hidden in the clouds also sensed the unexpected.

In this part of the world, rain was rare.

Usually, the rain was corrosive, something even the Demon Clan disliked despite the minor impact this type of rain had on them.

"This rain feels different from usual?" said the Demon Soldier who first felt the raindrops, puzzled.

This rain wasn’t corrosive, was very smooth, cool to the touch, and even a bit... tingling?

"No good!"

It was at this moment, two of the Demon Soldiers realized what was happening and their expressions changed, "Retreat quickly!"

He shouted in the demonic tongue.

Although the three hundred Demon Sub-soldiers lurking in the clouds did not know what exactly was happening, they could tell something was wrong and hurriedly obeyed the order, fleeing the cloud cover, preparing to evacuate.

"Watch out for the rain!" shouted the Demon Soldier.

However, it was already completely too late.

Boom!

The next moment, blue and purple lightning exploded amidst the rain.

Taiyi True Water Palm Heart Thunder!

The heavens were filled with bursting lightning, accompanied by the spreading Taiyi True Water. The area affected was immense, covering a full hundred miles, leaving no chance for them to escape.

Even the two hundred Demon Sub-soldiers buried underground were blasted out.

And in that moment of being thrown into the air, Ye Xuan, who was approaching from afar, had one hand casually in his pocket, while the other performed Sealing in the Void.

"Supreme Mysterious Black Soil, Heavenly Pig Divine Talisman. Summon stout generals, ensnare the Evil Witch."

Ye Xuan silently recited the ancient spell in his heart.

"This is the Ancient Technique General Summoning Spell!"

Boom!

In that instant, below the earth, suddenly two Dark Divine Generals rose from the ground, their massive hands smashing down, instantly turning the blasted away two hundred Demon Soldiers into meat paste.

In a blink of an eye, three mighty Demon Warriors, five hundred Demon Soldiers, were all hit!

Even from a great distance, Ye Xuan had sensed their ambush.

He was not surprised by their actions.

He had seen many strong members of the Demon Clan. When they cultivated to the Dao, they looked no different from the Human Clan, and their Spiritual Wisdom was equally terrifying.

Even though these demons were far from that level, he believed that behind these Demon Soldiers, there must certainly be someone devising strategies.

But none of that mattered.

His purpose in coming to the Demon Realm was to get some practice.

Facing these man-eating demons, he certainly wouldn’t hold back.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Under Ye Xuan’s method, all five hundred Demon Soldiers perished, leaving only three gravely injured Demon Warriors falling from their midst.

The three Demon Warriors were tough, with thick skins. Even under the explosion of the Taiyi True Water Palm Heart Thunder, they only had their arms or legs blown off, and their bodies were riddled with wounds, but their lives were not yet in danger.

At this moment, all three staggeringly fled at top speed.

"Run, this guy is definitely a high-ranking Demon Warrior, or even a Demon General!"

Right now, the three Demon Warriors were panic-stricken, fleeing frantically toward the deep valley where Mo Fei was located.

There lay the strongest Demon General of this area, along with numerous Demon Warriors and Demon Soldiers.

As long as they reached there, they would be safe!

With this thought, their speed soared to the extreme.

However, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, they seemed as slow as turtles, pitifully slow.

Ye Xuan waved away the two Earth Divine Generals, leisurely following behind the three Demon Warriors without rushing to act.

The reason he spared their lives was naturally to have them lead the way to more formidable foes.

Otherwise, Ye Xuan would have slain the three Demon Warriors as soon as he attacked, not giving them any chance to escape.

However, the three Demon Warriors clearly were unaware of this. When they sensed that Ye Xuan was catching up but at a slow speed, they were all relieved.

"That guy must have expended too much True Qi and now lacks strength. Let’s hurry back. Once Lord Mo Fei takes action, he is doomed!"

The three Demon Warriors were secretly making calculations, feeling at ease.

If Ye Xuan knew the thoughts of these three Demon Warriors, he would have been speechless.

But it’s no wonder, after all, demons of low rank generally aren’t very intelligent.

At this moment, in the deep valley where Mo Fei was, Mo Fei felt something was off.

"If this guy’s strength is the same as that Human Clan girl from four days ago, then Liu Kun and the others simply won’t be able to stop him..." Suddenly this thought flashed through Mo Fei’s mind, sending a shiver down his spine.

That Human Clan girl could move freely within the domain of a high-ranking Demon General.

Was he capable of stopping such an existence?

"No, I must inform General Qing Lian right away!" Mo Fei dared not hesitate and immediately got up.

"What’s the matter, Mo Fei?"

The two Demon Generals at his side saw the change in Mo Fei’s expression and couldn’t help but ask aloud.

"Lord Mo Fei, Liu Kun and the others have returned!"

However, before Mo Fei could reply, a Demon Warrior flew in from the outside.

"Huh? They’re back?" Mo Fei was stunned for a moment. Had he guessed wrong, and this Human Clan member was just a weakling?

"Did they capture that Human Clan member?" Mo Fei quickly asked.

All the demons turned their eyes to that Demon Warrior.

But the Demon Warrior charged with reporting swiftly said, "No, only the three of Liu Kun returned, and they are all injured!"

"What?"

The demons in the deep valley were all utterly astonished.

"That guy, could he be a high-ranking Demon Warrior? Or even a lower-ranking Demon General!?"

At this point, Mo Fei’s eyes flickered uncertainly.

Suddenly, it dawned on him.

"Damn it!"

"He must have deliberately allowed Liu Kun and the others to return!"

Mo Fei’s face turned pale.

"What?!" The two Demon Generals beside him also showed looks of horror.

"It seems you, a lower-ranking Demon General, can actually see through this,"

As if to confirm Mo Fei’s realization, a faint voice slowly rose, echoing throughout the deep valley.
