The Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor was the widely recognized number one expert in the Great Zhou Demon Country, and the fourth strongest in the world. In a one-on-one fight, not a single Martial Saint from the Great Zhou Royal Family was his match.

Yet the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Sect remained docile and willingly subordinate to the Great Zhou Royal Family, precisely because the Royal Family commanded the Three Great Iron Armies. The Imperial Army, in particular, was incomparably fierce and had the power to surround and kill even the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor.

"Han Feng, you colluded with Void Demons and plotted treason! Your crimes are heinous, punishable by the extermination of your entire clan. However, His Majesty is merciful. If you surrender without a fight and allow yourself to be implanted with the Ten-Heart Demon Suppression Needle, he will spare your friends, family, and the Bi Yao Demon Sect. Otherwise, from this day forward, the Bi Yao Demon Sect will cease to exist!"

Zhou Han, one of the three Grand Commanders, spoke, his thunderous voice reverberating through the void.

The Ten-Heart Demon Suppression Needle was an incomparably terrifying type of Demon Needle. Even if Wei Tuxian, the number one expert in the entire Black Tortoise Realm, were implanted with it, he would lose all his Profound Qi and be left at the mercy of others.

Inside the Great Zhou Demon Country’s Demon Prison, countless experts had been pierced by the Ten-Heart Demon Suppression Needle, suppressed in the prison’s deepest levels.

"From this day on, there will be no Great Zhou Demon Country! There will only be a new Demon Kingdom: the Da Feng Demon Country! It’s not too late for all of you to surrender. Otherwise, my Da Feng Demon Country will be the one exterminating *your* clans!"

Shu Feng strolled out of Bilian Hall, looked at the densely packed Imperial Army warriors surrounding him, and gave an arrogant smile.

"Insolent! Fire!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhou Han’s eyes as he roared.

The countless Imperial Army warriors pulled their triggers, and a dense volley of Breaking Gang Crossbow Arrows shot toward Shu Feng like a torrential downpour.

Shu Feng executed the Prison Void Demon Step. His figure blurred for an instant, and he vanished from where he stood.

The sky-filling rain of arrows swept past where Shu Feng had been and slammed into Bilian Hall, riddling the structure until it resembled a porcupine.

With a wave of his hand, Shu Feng summoned one hundred Tier Six Wind Blade Gu.

The moment they materialized, the hundred Tier Six Wind Blade Gu beat their wings, unleashing a dense barrage of Wind Blades that slashed wildly toward the Imperial Army warriors.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

A series of metallic clashes rang out. The Imperial Army warriors struck by the Wind Blades had their Heavy Armor split open, leaving deep gashes. They fell to the ground one after another, but most of them survived; only a little over twenty died horribly.

The Heavy Armor worn by the Imperial Army warriors was called Magic Light Armor, forged from Magic Light Steel, and its Defense Power was terrifyingly high. Even a full-power strike from a Martial Venerable Realm expert could not break through a suit of Magic Light Armor.

A Great Martial Master Level Imperial Army warrior wearing a suit of Magic Light Armor could even fight a Grandmaster Level expert. Five such warriors joining forces could take down an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Even a Martial Saint Level expert would need to use a full-power strike just to kill a single Imperial Army warrior.

This was the terrifying power of the Imperial Army, one of the Three Great Iron Armies of the Great Zhou Demon Country. Even the Sword Demon, ranked tenth in the world, could only pierce the armor of a few dozen warriors with a single, full-powered sword strike.

The Sword Demon could kill several hundred Imperial Army warriors at most before his Profound Qi was depleted to a terrifying degree, at which point he would be surrounded and killed by the three Grand Commanders.

"Impressive strength! Truly worthy of being one of the Three Great Iron Armies of the Great Zhou Demon Country! A pity that before me, the Imperial Army is utterly defenseless!"

Shu Feng laughed heartily as dense swarms of ant-sized Tier Six Poisonous Ant Gu flew out, forming terrifying insect clouds that shot like Lightning toward the Imperial Army warriors.

The Tier Six Poisonous Ant Gu frantically burrowed into the warriors’ eyes, ears, mouths, and noses, as well as the joints in their armor. They easily passed through the soldiers’ Protective Gang Qi and bit down hard.

"No!!"

"It hurts so much!"

"The pain is killing me!"

"..."

A series of bloodcurdling screams, like pigs being slaughtered, erupted from the Imperial Army warriors. As soon as a warrior was bitten by a Poisonous Ant Gu, their whole body would turn black, and they would collapse limply to the ground, writhing in unbearable agony.

Wherever the Poisonous Ant Gu passed, vast swathes of Imperial Army warriors fell to the ground. Only the experts at the Martial Venerable Realm and above were able to resist their attack.

As the saying goes, every creature has its counter. The Poisonous Ant Gu were simply unable to break through the Protective Gang Qi of a Martial Venerable Realm expert. However, experts of the Martial Venerable Level were extremely rare even within the Imperial Army.

"Stop!!"

Zhou Han roared in fury and unleashed the Black Snow Divine Palm. With a single palm strike, a terrifying wave of black snow churned forth. Wherever the black snow passed, vast swaths of the Poisonous Ant Gu were instantly frozen solid, turning into tiny pellets of ice that fell to the ground.

Ling Husheng’s long spear moved like a dragon. Achieving a state of Man and Spear as One, he thrust out, his attack trailed by draconic phantoms. He was like a Flood Dragon formed from the very essence of the spear as he lunged fiercely at Shu Feng.

Behind Liu Xiong, a hideous, ugly, human-faced demon spider constructed from Profound Qi appeared. He swung a long great-saber, unleashing waves of bizarre, web-like Sword Qi that slashed madly toward Shu Feng.

The other Half-Step Martial Saint and Martial Venerable Level experts also brandished their weapons, attacking Shu Feng from all directions.

Faced with a siege by so many experts, even the Sword Demon, ranked tenth in the world, would have been easily killed.

In less than an instant, Ling Husheng’s spear pierced through Shu Feng’s body.

’An afterimage?’

A bone-chilling horror washed over Ling Husheng as he looked at Shu Feng’s sneering face.

Liu Xiong’s great-saber followed through, slicing Shu Feng’s body to pieces.

’Did we get him?’

A flicker of wild joy surged through the hearts of the other Imperial Army experts. Shu Feng, who had cultivated the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King, was like a terrifying Demon King whose oppressive presence made it hard for them to breathe.

The last expert to cultivate the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King had been the Gu Emperor, the second-ranked powerhouse in the world. When the Gu Emperor roamed the lands, even the Great Zhou Royal Family had to bow their heads to him.

"Thought I was dead? It’s not that easy."

A perfectly calm voice emerged from behind Ling Husheng. Shu Feng had appeared there, and with a slash as fast as lightning, he instantly sent Ling Husheng’s head flying.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Beams of Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura shot out, slamming into the heads of the Half-Step Martial Saint and Martial Venerable Level experts. One by one, their heads exploded, and their bodies collapsed to the ground as lifeless corpses.

"Han Feng, die!"

Liu Xiong’s eyes looked ready to split with rage. With a furious roar, he slashed madly at Shu Feng.

"You think *you* can kill me? You overestimate your own strength!"

Shu Feng pointed a finger, and a swarm of Wind Blade Gu appeared, unleashing a dense flurry of Wind Blades that slashed wildly toward Liu Xiong.

Liu Xiong had no choice but to pull back his saber and assume a defensive stance, desperately blocking the onslaught from the Wind Blade Gu.
