With the city gate brow and the walls shaking, all the demon soldiers on the wall jumped down desperately. No one dared to confront Zhou Xuanji.

Zangniu Dark Emperor died a horrible death right before their eyes. Who dared to try their luck with Sword God Zhou’s swords?

Zhou Xuanji stood on his Windcutter Sword, with the Sky-sundering Emperor Sword and Thunderclap Sword in his hands, and the Bloodbath Sword levitating above his head drew closer towards the demon kingdom.

”Roooarrr—”

A roar that shook the heavens came from within the Demon Kingdom. It was so loud that the mountains beside the kingdom shook, boulders rolling down.

A muscular silhouette leaped up, flew past the city wall. His two legs crushing the grass underneath.

It was a Demon King with a lion head. He wore a robe made of tiger skin and scaled chainmail inside. His mighty mane looked imposing, along with his ferocious-looking teeth that covered his mouth.

Tianhou Lion King!

It was the king of this kingdom.

He had the cultivation of 1,000 years, and his power was unfathomable.

His body trembled as he looked at Zhou Xuanji with unquenchable fury.

A group of demons with human forms leaped from within the city and levitated in the air, each with their own weapons, and looked anxiously in front.

A sense of anxiousness before war spread across the entire wasteland.

Zhou Xuanji flew to Tianhou Lion King’s head and looked down at him coldly.

Thud!

Tianhou Lion King knelt on the floor with both hands on the ground. “Sir!” He gritted his teeth and said, “We are not related with Zangniu Dark Emperor. Please let us live!”

All the demons with human forms were stunned, but no one tried to stop the lion demon.

Sword God Zhou was too powerful after all.

Zhou Xuanji said expressionlessly, “Release all the humans in your city. If you dared to hide anyone, I will cut off your head immediately and let all your demon underlings die alongside you.”

His voice was soft, but the killer’s aura was filled to the brim, which sent a cold shiver down Tianhou Lion King’s spine.

He immediately turned around and cried as loud as he could, “Bring out everyone human! No delay!”

The pride of the king was thrown away by him in an instant.

Zhou Xuanji waited patiently.

The rescued people behind him did not leave but were engaged in exciting discussions.

”He’s that Unparalleled Sword God Zhou? He’s so powerful!”

”Tianhou Lion King doesn’t even dare to fart in front of him!”

”From today onward, whoever dares to say that Sword God Zhou’s reputation is far above his actual power, I will be the first to beat him up!”

”With such power, he must be one of the top cultivators. If he could join Great Zhou’s army, it would be easy for him to become a second or third-grade general.”

”Oh my… Is that really Zangniu Dark Emperor? He died such a lame death before Sword God Zhou. How much stronger is Sword God Zhou than him?”

Zhou Xuanji, whose back was facing them, smiled. It seemed like he underestimated his reputation.

These people recognized him even before he identified himself.

Sigh.

It’s hard to keep a low profile with such a good reputation.

While Zhou Xuanji was thinking to himself, the 10 men dressed in black, who were standing on the left mountain of the kingdom, fell silent.

After a long while.

The leader said with a deep voice, “A change in plan. Sword God Zhou’s power far exceeds the requirement of the mission. Retreat immediately!”

”From today onward, we will no longer accept the bounty mission from Great Zhou’s empress!”

”Damn her! She wants us to die?”

The other nine nodded in one accord.

They were here to spy on Sword God Zhou’s movements and assassinate him.

But what they saw today almost made them wet their pants.

They quickly disappeared into the woods.

Zhou Xuanji did not know that he unintentionally intimidated a group of assassins.

After half an hour, every human was escorted out of the Demon Kingdom. There were 1,800 people in total. Each was injured and was apparently tortured before this.

When these people knew that Sword God Zhou came to rescue them, they were all excited. Some even cried. It was very dramatic.
