“Seems like these fire devils had gained a shred of intelligence,” Lin Feng spoke in a low voice.

He and Murong Xue were hiding in the dark, waiting for their opportunity to act according to the circumstances.

“A bunch of vile beasts also dare to threaten this young master? Simply courting death! I will sacrifice you all to my flying sword…”

Upon seeing these fire devils, a cold smile appeared on Yuwen Yunfeng’s face.

In order to obtain the “fire devil fluid”, Yuwen Yunfeng had prepared for a long time.

These people whom he had brought with him were all experts of the Soul Devouring Hall. In addition, he had the assistance of two other martial masters, Sun Kui and Li Tianshang.

Moreover, Yuwen Yunfeng had also brought along three flying swords.

Flying swords could kill people disregarding the distance to its target. Although Yuwen Yunfeng’s flying swords were of low-grade, their power was still extremely strong.

Yuwen Yunfeng, Sun Kui, and Li Tianshang each controlled a flying sword as they started to attack these fire devils.

Some runic words were engraved on these flying swords. When one of them infused their true qi into the sword, it would become a beam of flowing light that flew toward the fire devils to attack. The fire devils leaped and jumped about, trying to evade the attacks of the flying swords. However, the speed of the swords was simply too quick, and the fire devils could only wait to be killed one by one.

“Truly powerful…”

Lin Feng was silently awed. When the strength of cultivators was complemented by magic treasures, their combat prowess would be boosted by a large degree. Such power wasn’t something that ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests would be able to contend against.

Although some ferocious beasts were extremely strong and could kill cultivators if they all fought bare-handed, the fates of the beasts would all be the same if they encountered a cultivator with treasures on their bodies—they would be slaughtered. It was just like how these fire devils were faring now. Their strength might be powerful, but right now, they were being massacred.

Naturally, there was also a price that came with using a treasure such as a flying sword. The energy consumption rate of such treasures was extraordinarily great. Yuwen Yunfeng and the other two wouldn’t be able to maintain using the flying swords for too long.

Hence, they wanted to end the battle fast.

“ROAR!”

The roars of the giant fire devil rang throughout the area. It began to rush at the cultivators.

Upon seeing so many fire devils being killed, the fire devil king was now completely enraged. It was roaring in madness as it rushed out.

“Concentrate the firepower to kill the fire devil king!”

Upon seeing the fire devil king appearing, Yuwen Yunfeng’s face actually revealed a trace of excitement.

As long as he could kill the fire devil king, he didn’t fear the other fire devils at all.

He, Sun Kui, and Li Tianshang unleashed the flying swords to kill the fire devil king, wanting to finish it off in a single attack. However, the fire devil king displayed terrifying strength. Three gigantic fireballs were spat out by it, flying toward the three flying swords in response.

Yuwen Yunfeng, Li Tianshang, and Sun Kui’s divine senses over their respective flying swords were instantly refined away. That devil king then easily swallowed the three flying swords.

“Damn!”

Upon seeing the three flying swords being seized by the fire devil king, Yuwen Yunfeng felt like his heart was bleeding.

The fire devil king roared and directly pulled a thousand-meter tall mountain up from the ground. After that, it tossed the mountain toward the direction of the Soul Devouring Hall’s cultivators.

“What monstrous strength.” Lin Feng and Murong Xue were stunned. The fire devil king could uproot mountains so easily? Wasn’t its strength too horrifying?

“AH! Quickly dodge it!” The cultivators from the Soul Devouring Hall screamed in terror as they split up and dodge in four directions.

However, there were over ten people whose reactions were too slow. They were directly crushed into meat paste by the mountain the fire devil king tossed over.

The other fire devils also began to unleash their savageness and rushed over. They opened their bloody maws and spat out fireballs, targeting the cultivators from the Soul Devouring Hall.

Bang, bang, bang…
