Fang Yue steadied himself and stared at the altar with a frown. At this moment, a huge figure slowly rose from under the altar. The figure was wearing a black robe, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the powerful demonic aura emanating from him made the soldiers present feel nervous.

"Foolish human, how dare you destroy the altar of my demon clan? Today is the day of your death." The figure made a sinister voice.

Fang Yue tightly grasped the sword in his hand and said loudly: "Demons, you have committed many evil things in the world. Today we are here to put an end to your sins."

After saying that, Fang Yue flashed and attacked the figure again. His sword flashed with dazzling light, containing his powerful vitality.

The figure sneered, stretched out a hand covered with black scales, and easily blocked Fang Yue's attack.

Then, it swung its arm violently, and a black wave of demonic power attacked Fang Yue and the soldiers.

The soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to resist, but some soldiers were still hit by the demonic force wave, spitting blood and falling to the ground.

Fang Yue was furious when he saw this.

He displayed a set of exquisite sword skills, with sword shadows flying everywhere, trying to break through the figure's defense.

However, the black-robed figure seemed to know Fang Yue's swordsmanship very well, and could avoid the sharp sword every time, and counterattack at a faster speed. Its movements were agile and strange, as if it could predict Fang Yue's every move.

"A mere human wants to compete with my demon race?" the black-robed figure taunted, with unquestionable arrogance in his voice.

Fang Yue gritted his teeth. He knew very well that this battle concerned the safety of the human race and he must not retreat in the slightest.

He took a deep breath, and the vital energy in his body surged. A dazzling light gathered at the tip of the sword. It was a strike that combined all his strength - the "Tian Gang Demon-Slaying Sword".

With a clear whistle, Fang Yue's sword light was like a dragon soaring into the sky, cutting through the sky and going straight to the vital point of the black-robed figure.

This time, the figure seemed to feel an unprecedented threat. It took a few steps back and stretched out its hands, gathering a denser black evil spirit to form a solid barrier.

The sword light collided with the demonic energy barrier, causing a deafening roar, and the entire space around the altar trembled.

Within a radius of a thousand feet, the violent collision between the vital energy and the demonic energy triggered a chain explosion. Flames shot up into the sky and smoke rose in all directions, as if the heaven and earth were shaken by this powerful force.

The rocks around the altar flew everywhere in the explosion, trees were uprooted, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burnt matter and evil spirits.

The contest between Fang Yue and the black-robed figure was no longer a simple swordplay contest, but a life-and-death duel that rose to the level of vital energy.

His "Tiangang Demon-Slaying Sword" and the demonic energy barrier condensed by the powerful demon clan were like two stars colliding in the night sky, releasing energy that was enough to shake the mountains and rivers.

Under the impact of this force, some soldiers with lower cultivation levels were knocked to the ground. The surviving soldiers tightly grasped their weapons, their eyes full of fear!
In this violent collision, the light of Fang Yue's "Tian Gang Demon-Slaying Sword" gradually dimmed, but he still gritted his teeth and tried his best to inject the remaining vitality in his body into the sword.

The demonic energy barrier of the black-robed figure also began to crack, and it began to feel a little panicked.

"Human, you are so powerful! But you still can't defeat me."

The black-robed figure roared and at the same time increased the output of demonic energy, using the demon clan's unique skill, the Heavenly Demon Killing God Technique.

Suddenly, a killing spear condensed from dark demonic power drew a hideous trajectory in the air, carrying a breath of destruction, and pierced straight towards Fang Yue.

The killing spear was surrounded by a strong demonic aura, which seemed to be able to tear everything apart and fill people with fear.

Seeing this, Fang Yue's eyes flashed with determination. He knew that at this moment, he could not retreat, let alone fail.

He took a deep breath, and the vital energy in his body surged again, as if it resonated more closely with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Although the light on the tip of his sword was dim, it was more concentrated. It was the final blow in which he concentrated all his strength and will.

"Tian Gang Demon-Slaying Sword, slay demons and monsters!"

Fang Yue shouted loudly, and the sword flashed like a dragon. With his last determination and strength, he met the killing spear.

The sword light and the killing spear collided in the air, erupting with an even more deafening roar. The entire space around the altar seemed to be torn apart, and the collision of the vitality and the demonic energy caused an even more violent explosion. Flames shot up into the sky, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the heaven and earth were shaken by this powerful force.

At this critical moment of life and death, the contest between Fang Yue and the black-robed figure reached its climax.

Every attack they made was a matter of life and death.

This is a real life-and-death duel, a battle that concerns the fate of humans and demons.

Finally, after an earth-shattering collision, the Spear of Slaughter was cut off by Fang Yue's sword light and turned into nothing.

The black-robed figure also revealed his true appearance as he lost the support of his demonic power - a hideous and terrified face.

Fang Yue took the opportunity to swing his sword at the black-robed figure, and the sword flashed like lightning.

The black-robed figure had no time to dodge and was struck by the sword light and flew away, hitting the stone wall of the altar heavily, making a deafening roar.

The stone wall cracked under the impact, and gravel flew everywhere, while the black-robed figure fell to the ground helplessly like a kite with a broken string.

The black-robed figure fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Fang Yue approached slowly, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the motionless powerful demon.

The surrounding soldiers also gathered around. Although they were exhausted, their eyes were shining with the joy of victory and the admiration for the other side.

Fang Yue squatted down and gently lifted the black robe with the tip of his sword, revealing the true face of the powerful demon - a monster with a distorted face and scars all over his body.

Its eyes were dazed, obviously having suffered a fatal blow in the previous battle.

"it is finally over."

Fang Yue spoke softly, his voice revealing a barely perceptible hint of fatigue. It was obvious that although he had won, he had also suffered serious injuries!
Fang Yue slowly stood up, looked around, and confirmed that all threats had been eliminated.

The soldiers surrounded him, looking at him with excitement and awe. They knew that it was Fang Yue who single-handedly protected them and this land from the invasion of the demons.

"Everyone has worked hard."

Fang Yue said to the soldiers, his voice was soft but full of power and gratitude, "It is your bravery and perseverance that have enabled us to win this victory."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and their voices echoed around the altar, as if it was a celebration of victory and an expectation for the future.

Fang Yue looked at the sword in his hand. There were still traces of battle on the sword, but he knew that this sword was not only his weapon for fighting, but also a symbol of his beliefs. He gently stroked the sword, as if to thank it for the support and strength it gave him in the battle.

Then he looked up at the sky, where the sun was shining brightly, as if it was also cheering for their victory.

Fang Yue looked up at the bright sky, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.

The sunlight shines through the clouds and onto his face, bringing a hint of warmth, as if it was nature's affirmation of their victory.

He knew very well that this victory was not only a fight against the demons, but also a test of the faith and courage of the human race.

“We won, but this is just the beginning.”

Fang Yue said in a deep voice. Although his voice was calm, it revealed his firm determination. "The demon tribe will not give up. We must always remain vigilant and strengthen our defenses."

When the soldiers heard this, they nodded one after another. They knew that what Fang Yue said was true.

Although they have achieved victory, there is still a long way to go. They need to be more united and work harder to protect the peace of this land and its people.

Fang Yue turned and looked at the altar. It was already in a mess, but their victory had left an indelible mark here.

He took a deep breath, feeling the smell of burnt and evil spirit in the air, and an inexplicable sense of pride surged in his heart.

"Let's go back." Fang Yue said to the soldiers.

At the same time, the demon world was shrouded in a haze and demonic energy was surging, as if the entire demon world was shaking with this failure.

The high-ranking members of the demon clan gathered in a magnificent palace. The atmosphere was solemn and depressing.

"It's a shame that there are humans who can defeat our strong men!"

A burly, red-haired demon general roared, flames of anger flashing in his eyes.

"We can't just let it go like this. We must teach humans a lesson and let them know the consequences of challenging the demon race!"

Another high-ranking demon clan member, an old man wearing a gorgeous robe and with a sinister face, said in a cold voice.

The demon king, a mysterious being wearing a black cloak and with his face hidden in the shadows, slowly stood up.

His voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts: "Humans are indeed not to be underestimated, but the demon race will never be bullied. The three demon kings sacrificed themselves this time, but our plan has been successfully implemented. The seal of the demon world is only three nodes away from being completely broken. When we get out, we will naturally make those humans pay with their blood!"

The words of the demon king made the atmosphere in the palace tense again. The demon leaders took orders one after another. They knew that the next action would determine the future of the demon clan.

The red-haired demon general had flames of revenge flashing in his eyes. He vowed to kill Fang Yue with his own hands and avenge the sacrificed demon king.

After repelling the demon tribe, the brief peace did not last long. In the court of the Great Chu Dynasty, some ministers with ulterior motives began to slander the monarch.

"Your Majesty, although we have joined forces with Wei to repel the demon tribe, Wei is now seriously injured. It would be better to withhold those supplies so that the Wei Dynasty will not dare to attack us by force!" said a minister flatteringly.

After hearing what the minister said, the King of Chu began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.

He had always been suspicious of the Wei Dynasty, thinking that it was holding back in its battle with the demons. When he heard that he could seize supplies, he became greedy.

Therefore, the monarch of Great Chu ordered that all the materials that were supposed to be distributed to Great Wei according to the alliance be detained in the warehouses of Great Chu.

When the Wei Dynasty learned of this news, there was an uproar in the army. The generals demanded that Fang Yue send troops to ask for an explanation from the Chu.

Fang Yue was also in a dilemma at this time.

On the one hand, Da Chu's actions seriously violated the alliance and damaged the interests of Da Wei; on the other hand, going to war with Da Chu at this time would only result in mutual losses and give the demon clan an opportunity to take advantage.

After careful consideration, Fang Yue decided to go to Da Chu in person to negotiate with the monarch of Da Chu. He took a team of elite guards and set off for Da Chu.

Fang Yue and his party traveled through mountains and rivers, and after several days of hardship, they finally arrived at the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty. The capital was prosperous and bustling with people, but Fang Yue's heart was calm. His purpose of this trip was clear, which was to seek justice for the Great Wei.

After entering the palace, Fang Yue was led to the main hall. The King of Chu sat on the dragon throne, and the ministers stood on both sides in a solemn atmosphere. After paying his respects, Fang Yue said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I came here this time because of the alliance between the two countries. The Wei Kingdom sent troops to help fight and repel the demon tribe according to the alliance, but now I heard that the Chu Kingdom has seized the supplies that should be distributed to the Wei Kingdom. This is a violation of the alliance and damages the friendship between the two countries."

Upon hearing this, the Great Chu monarch's expression changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal and said with a smile: "General Fang, you are too serious. Great Chu did not intend to withhold the supplies, but the treasury is empty these days and it is difficult to raise funds for the time being, so we temporarily retain them and will return them in full when the treasury is full."

After hearing this, Fang Yue sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface and said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. The alliance is a trust between the two countries. How can it be abandoned because of temporary difficulties? If Da Chu is really in trouble, Da Wei can give it some leniency, but the act of seizing supplies is inappropriate. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

After hearing this, the King of Chu was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. The hall was silent and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Finally, the King of Chu spoke: "General Fang's words make sense. I will immediately order the release of the seized materials and send an envoy to the Great Wei to apologize."

After hearing this, Fang Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but remained expressionless as he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. Great Wei and Great Chu are closely related. Only by fighting against the demons together can we ensure the peace of the two countries. I hope Your Majesty will abide by the covenant in the future and work together for development."

After saying this, Fang Yue bowed and took his leave, then left the hall with his guards.

But Fang Yue didn't expect that he was in the Great Chu Palace at this moment.

"National Master, how is it? Is Fang Yue seriously injured?"

The voice of the Great Chu monarch echoed in the empty hall. He turned to the imperial teacher who was wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe and had an old face but sharp eyes.

The Imperial Master closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something. After a moment, he opened his eyes with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Your Majesty, Fang Yue was indeed seriously injured, but his body is full of vitality and recovers very quickly. I'm afraid he will be able to recover soon."

Upon hearing this, the Great Chu monarch frowned and said, "So, he is actually a tough opponent. Imperial Master, do you have any way to deal with him?"

The Imperial Master groaned for a moment and then slowly said, "Fang Yue is very powerful, and it may be difficult to win in a head-on confrontation. But we can take advantage of his weaknesses, set traps, lure him deeper, and then capture him in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, the King of Great Chu had a fierce look in his eyes: "Okay! Let's follow the advice of the State Master. You must make arrangements immediately and bring Fang Yue to justice. Let him know what will happen if he challenges the majesty of Great Chu!"

The Imperial Master took the order and left, and silence returned to the hall again.

The monarch of Great Chu sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy look in his eyes, secretly thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the strength of Great Wei and consolidate the position of Great Chu.

As for whether the Wei Dynasty would attack him after he assassinated Fang Yue.

The king and his ministers of the Great Chu State were not worried and simply put the blame on the demons. (End of this chapter)
