The divine manifestations began at the Gongwei Division.

On the long street.

A young man with a long sword hanging from his waist walked slowly, his expression calm.

"When the Imperial Guard is in charge of its work, all unauthorized personnel should stay away."

He said loudly.

Splash!

Pedestrians and vendors on the street all changed their expressions drastically and scattered in all directions.

Lu Xuanfeng had already carried Lü Zian to Zhou Heng's side and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"My lord, I have successfully completed my mission and rescued the person."

"Lu Xuanfeng said."

Things weren't quite perfect.

That means there are pursuers behind us.

But it's okay.

The pursuers are now in the hands of this garrison commander.

Anyway, it carried the person out.

"grown ups--"

Lu Zian looked surprised.

"Be careful, sir. The opponent is the only son of the Heavenly Demon King, and his strength is unfathomable."

Before they could exchange pleasantries, Lü Zian reminded Zhou Heng.

No sooner said than done.

A majestic figure descended from the sky and landed with a thud on the long street.

The bluestone ground cracked and crumbled, the cracks spreading rapidly from beneath the figure's feet towards Zhou Heng as if they were growing.

"Deer Whirlwind, retreat!"

Zhou Heng lightly stepped on the ground, stopping the shattered pattern in his tracks, and said softly.

Clang.

The Dragon Sparrow Blade was drawn an inch from its sheath.

A chilling blade intent instantly emanated, causing the temperature in the air to drop sharply, and a thin layer of white frost appeared on the ground.

"Deer Whirlwind, how dare you pledge allegiance to the Imperial Guard?"

The little demon king's face turned ashen, and he said coldly, "After I kill this human, I will make good use of you."

Lu Xuanfeng shuddered.

However, it's too late to turn back now.

Compared to the Little Demon King, he felt that Zhou Heng was more terrifying.

"You should focus on surviving first."

Lu Xuanfeng carried Lü Zian for over a hundred feet and muttered to himself.

"that--"

It glanced back at Lü Zian on its back and muttered, "Can your Commander of the Garrison handle the Little Demon King?"

If we can't win, we should run for our lives as soon as possible.

Lu Zian also glanced at Lu Xuanfeng, his heart filled with doubt.

He had no idea where Deer Whirlwind came from, nor did he know where Commander Zhou had subdued this monster.

However, running away is definitely not an option.

Even if Zhou Zhenfu can't defeat the little demon king, at worst we'll all die here together.

Lu Zian was not a coward who would abandon his colleagues and run away for his own life.

He didn't leave back in Qizhou, let alone now.

"Put me down."

Lu Zian looked up at the sky.

The sun was already setting, and he would soon be able to lend Zhou Heng a helping hand.

…………

"The Garrison Commander of Shu Prefecture?"

The little demon king sized up Zhou Heng with a disdainful look, "I have been waiting for you."

Although our meeting today was somewhat unexpected, I will still give you a chance.

If you obediently listen to me, I will spare your life and allow you to stay in Shu Prefecture.

otherwise--"

Before it could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly flashed before its eyes.

A flash of light as the blade fell.

Swish!

The blade cut through the air, making a hissing sound.

The little demon king was enraged.

How dare they ambush it!

How dare you not listen to what it has to say!

This is absolutely outrageous!

"You're asking for it!"

The little demon king roared.

It raised its arm and actually used its forearm to meet Zhou Heng's blade.

Ding-dong.

Amidst the crisp clang of metal, a layer of pale golden arm armor appeared on the little demon king's arm.

The moment the arm armor appeared, a complete suit of armor was already on the little demon king's body.

The armor completely covered the little demon king's body, leaving only his eyes visible.

The blade of the Dragon Sparrow Blade stood on the arm armor, leaving only a faint white mark.

A cruel smile appeared in the little demon king's eyes.

"Trying to ambush me? Wishful thinking!"

It sneered and gently clenched its right hand.

With a buzzing sound.

The arm armor extended outwards, transforming into a thick-backed broadsword about five feet long.

With a clang.

The thick-backed broadsword had already clashed with Zhou Heng's Dragon Sparrow Blade.

They both drew their swords at the same time.

In an instant, blades flashed in the air.

Both men's swordsmanship was sharp and domineering, and they had exchanged countless moves in an instant.

Ding Ding Deng!

Zhou Heng kept backing away.

A look of seriousness flashed across Zhou Heng's eyes.

He has seen quite a few monsters.

But this is the first time someone like the Little Demon King, who is so skilled in swordsmanship and whose strength surpasses his, has appeared.

His feet touched the ground, and his body slid backwards for several meters.

Zhou Heng glanced down at the Dragon Sparrow Blade and frowned slightly.

A nick appeared on the blade of the Dragon Sparrow Blade.

The Dragon Sparrow Blade, which had accompanied him through many dangers and made great contributions, was actually unable to cut through the thick-backed longsword in the little demon king's hand!

"A mere fifth-rank martial artist dares to be so insolent before me."

The little demon king sneered disdainfully.

Carrying a knife, it walked step by step toward Zhou Heng, the earth trembling with each step.

The bluestone pavement was already covered with cracks, like broken porcelain.

"To die by my blade is an honor for you."

The little demon king suddenly began to accelerate.

After taking two steps, it leaped high into the air and swung its blade down at Zhou Heng.

"Be careful, sir!"

Lu Zian exclaimed in surprise.

Deer Whirlwind leaned to the side, ready to run.

The little demon king leaped into the air, his magnificent body even blocking out the sunlight.

Beneath its armor, it had already revealed its true monstrous form, its violent power tearing through the air with a deafening roar like firecrackers.

The outcome seems to be clear.

A fourth-rank demon against a fifth-rank martial artist.

The outcome seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Even Lü Zi'an was prepared for a fight to the death.

Just at this time.

Zhou Heng suddenly sheathed his sword.

Clang!

The echo of the sword's clang lingered around the beam.

Zhou Heng raised his right hand, formed a sword finger, and held it upright in front of his chest.

"earth!"

He uttered a single word softly.

boom!

In an instant.

The ground bulged up, and an earthen wall suddenly rose up, blocking Zhou Heng and the little demon king.

The little demon king's powerful and heavy slash struck the top of the earthen wall.

With a loud bang, the earthen wall crumbled instantly, sending dust flying everywhere.

"wind!"

Another soft shout rang in everyone's ears.

A strong wind suddenly rose from the ground.

The scattered dust was whipped up by the gale, rising into the sky like a yellowish-brown dragon, instantly engulfing the little demon king.

The little demon king roared, and the long sword in his hand transformed into a sky full of sword light.

A muffled thud echoed in the air as the little demon king burst out of the earth dragon.

As the wind subsided and the dust settled, the little demon king also landed on the ground.

Its sure-fire strike was actually countered by the opponent in this way!

"you--"

The little demon king was about to speak.

Then I heard the other person's soft shout.

"thunder!"

Zhou Heng pointed his sword at the sky and then suddenly dropped it.

As he moved, a bolt of lightning actually struck down.

Caught off guard, the little demon king was struck squarely by lightning.

With a crackling sound, electric snakes surged across the armor, and the little demon king's eyes instantly turned red.

Armor can withstand swords and blades, but it cannot completely block the power of lightning.

"fire!"

Zhou Heng remained calm, took a step forward, uttered another word, and swung his sword forward.
