Chapter 756 So, You Really Intend to Kill Me First?
The five Demon Saints focused their eyes and saw that the figure was an unfamiliar Saint.
He looked very young, likely having only recently stepped into the Saint Realm.
One Demon Saint said doubtfully, "What's going on with the Four Demon Lord over there, how did he let this one through?"
Another answered, "I don't know. Perhaps someone else is holding the Four Demon Lord back, and this one slipped in secretly."
Shi Hui nodded slightly. "Well said, convincing enough."
The other two Demon Saints chuckled. "Then it seems we're also second Shi Huis!"
Shen Mo could not help but laugh.
The Shi Division demons were never known for their brains.
If one ranked demons by intelligence, the Kuang Division would certainly be last.
The Shi Division demons would come right after.
If not for the fact that demons could advance swiftly in cultivation just by relying on demonic qi, how could they with such intellect ever reach the Saint Realm?
In truth, it was because the Demon Soil was vast and their numbers overwhelming that Demon Saints appeared in endless succession.
The human race, dragon race, beast race, and all other clans under the heavens could not hope to catch up.
Shen Huang, Long Gui, and Tian Hu also saw Shen Mo clearly and were astonished.
Especially Shen Huang.
Among the three Beast Saints, she had interacted most with Shen Mo.
Thus, seeing him again now, she was even more surprised.
"If I recall correctly, not long ago this young man was still at the Supreme Realm, wasn't he?" Tian Hu asked in shock.
Long Gui nodded. "That's what I remember too. Could it be my memory is wrong?"
Shen Huang confirmed firmly, "No mistake. When we left Shengxuan Heaven and Earth, he was indeed only at the Supreme Realm."
"It hasn't been that long since then, so how has he already stepped into the Saint Realm?"
"And his strength is so formidable! He actually broke through the blockade of the Four Demon Lord and the others to get here."
Tian Hu pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Perhaps another Saint Realm helped hold back the Four Demon Lord and the rest, giving him the chance to break through to this place."
Shen Huang and Long Gui both nodded in agreement at these words.
That alone could explain how someone who had only just entered the Saint Realm managed to reach them.
Yet even so, facing five Demon Saints alone would be nearly impossible.
Shen Huang immediately called out loudly, "Young friend Shen Mo, do not fight them head-on!"
"Just strike at Shi Hui. He carries the key to the formation."
"As long as the formation is broken, we can come out to aid you."
Shen Mo nodded. "So that's how it is. Many thanks, Senior Shen Huang."
He turned his gaze to the Demon Saint with the largest head among the five.
"You must be Shi Hui?" he asked with a smile.
Shi Hui let out a strange laugh. "So, you truly intend to kill me first?"
"Do you have that ability?"
Shen Mo waved his hand, and eighteen green lotus seeds, entwined with the Nine Nether Ice Flame, shot forth like lightning.
Shi Hui had not even reacted before being pierced through by all eighteen.
The raging Nine Nether Ice Flame instantly ignited within his body, burning madly.
His demonic qi and demonic blood became fuel, only feeding the conflagration.
In an instant, bright icy-white flames burst from Shi Hui's body.
The four surrounding Demon Saints were horrified and retreated quickly.
"Nine… Nine Nether Ice Flame!"
They were pale with shock.
"Help me…"
Shi Hui screamed as he writhed and rolled.
But the Nine Nether Ice Flame only burned fiercer, engulfing him completely in moments.
As the four Demon Saints prepared to act, Shen Mo swept his hand once more. The eighteen lotus seeds pursued the four of them, while he suddenly thrust out his fist.
Platinum Dragon Fist!
After stepping into the Saint Realm, his Supreme Technique had long ascended into a Saint Technique, its power amplified hundreds and thousands of times over.
This punch contained the full force of his comprehension of the Great Dao of Void, the Great Dao of Strength, and the Great Dao of Fire!
The giant fist crashed down.
The terrifying aura of the Great Dao swept across, crushing everything.
When the force finally dissipated, the four Demon Saints had already been reduced to ash.
Shi Hui, who had been engulfed by the Nine Nether Ice Flame, was also burned to nothing.
Five Demon Saints, yet not a ripple remained.
Such a slaughtering speed left even Shen Huang, Long Gui, and Tian Hu stunned.
Back then, they themselves had never possessed such ability.
Did this not mean Shen Mo already had strength comparable to their own?
But had he not only just stepped into the Saint Realm not long ago?
How could he wield such astonishing power?
The three beasts pondered for a long while, and in the end, could only attribute it to the Nine Nether Ice Flame and that never-before-seen Great Dao artifact.
"How should this formation be broken?"
Shen Mo frowned deeply as he examined the ancient and profound formation patterns.
Although he had some knowledge of formations, this one was far beyond his comprehension.
It should have been laid down by a Tongtian Saint Realm expert.
"Jiu Yin Shengren's attainments in formations are extremely high. If he were here in person, he should be able to break it."
Shen Huang spoke in a solemn tone.
"Yet Jiu Yin Shengren and Fu Zu are still trapped by the Four Demon Lords of the Corpse-Beast Demon Kingdom. For them to break free would be near impossible."
Long Gui sighed.
Shen Mo's expression turned strange. "I will go bring Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren here."
Moments later.
Learning that all the Demon Saints had been slain by Shen Mo, Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren immediately stepped out of the Futian Treasure Domain.
Their Saint power had been too greatly consumed over the centuries.
They could barely maintain themselves at the first stage of the Piercing Earth Saint level.
Yet the Futian Treasure Domain required Saint power to operate and be sustained.
Only after confirming there was no danger around them could they dare withdraw it.
Fu Zu had always faintly sensed lurking threats, which was why he and Jiu Yin Shengren had only walked out without retracting the domain.
Seeing Fu Zu and Jiu Yin Shengren in person, the three Beast Saints were shaken.
The Four Demon Lords had all perished?!
Fu Zu laughed heartily. "Don't say you are surprised—I too am astonished."
"I never thought that enemies who troubled us for so many years would be eliminated by a junior."
Jiu Yin Shengren carefully studied the formation patterns, then said in a low voice, "This formation is not difficult. Give me some time, I can break it."
With that, he sat cross-legged and used his hand as a brush, swiftly tracing over the formation lines.
Shen Mo sat opposite Fu Zu.
The latter grew more delighted the more he looked at Shen Mo, as if gazing at a favored junior.
"Shen Mo, would you be willing to become my disci—"
Before he could finish, Jiu Yin Shengren cut him off dryly, "Be quiet."
Fu Zu only laughed and was not angry, continuing instead to discuss the recent battle with Shen Mo.
Learning that Shen Mo had comprehended three Great Daos, he was even more shocked.
When he himself had been at Shen Mo's realm, he had possessed only a single pitiful Dao.
"It is done."
Jiu Yin Shengren's words fell, and the formation that had trapped Shen Huang, Long Gui, and Tian Hu instantly dissolved.
"We must leave at once."
Shen Mo pointed southward.
Shen Huang was puzzled. "Why not go that way? There lies a small world where we could rest."
"Moreover, that is the shortest route back to Shengxuan Heaven and Earth."
Naturally, Shen Mo could not reveal that his life panel had shown him the truth.
The Demon Saints of the Five Sacred Demon Kingdom were already hastening this way.
If they went north, they would clash head-on.
They had to avoid their sharp edge to escape alive.
And Shen Mo had no intention of returning to Shengxuan Heaven and Earth.
He was going to the Ancestral Demon Soil!
