In the valley, Suhe and Baishuang were about to climb the mountain when they sensed something unusual in the surrounding air.

It was an unsettling silence, as if even the wind had stopped in the area.

Su He frowned slightly. He knew that such tranquility was often a harbinger of impending danger. Weak creatures would hide when they sensed danger approaching, so such quiet was often abnormal.

"Be careful," Bai Shuang whispered a reminder, sensing that something was wrong as well.

As an experienced cultivator, she knew that the forbidden land was called a forbidden land not only because it contained rare spiritual herbs, but more so because it was fraught with danger.

The two walked forward side by side, each step taken with extreme caution.

Su He gripped the Tai Xuan Sword tightly, ready to deal with any potential threats at any time.

Suddenly, it seemed as if some kind of shackles between heaven and earth were broken, and a strong spatial fluctuation swept through the entire valley.

Suhe and Baishuang immediately stopped and looked warily toward the source of the fluctuations.

A crack appeared before them as if tearing the sky apart, revealing endless darkness and chaotic energy within the distorted space.

From the pitch-black crevice, a tall demon clad in black armor slowly emerged.

The Heavenly Demon exuded a cold and terrifying aura, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss, devoid of any emotion.

After looking around, it fixed its gaze on Suhe and Baishuang. Suhe and Baishuang knew that a great battle was inevitable when they saw the Heavenly Demon, so they made preparations in advance.

Su He gripped the Tai Xuan Sword tightly, his gaze fixed on the Heavenly Demon before him.

This demon's cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Saint realm, which was easily dealt with by him.

But we still need to be careful to avoid making a mistake.

Bai Shuang stood beside Su He, holding two swords in her hands, ready to fight.

The Heavenly Demon looked at the two of them coldly, his eyes flashing with an icy light.

It stretched out its arm and took out a long black knife from behind its back, the blade emanating a chilling aura.

"Come on!" Su He shouted and leaped out.

He quickly activated the magic array patterns engraved on the Tai Xuan Sword, and powerful energy surged across the sword.

At the same time, Bai Shuang began to mobilize all the talismans, forming a huge and complex defensive barrier around her.

This barrier can withstand most attacks from a mid-stage Saint, but it is powerless against attacks of a higher level.

The Heavenly Demon sneered and swung his black blade down suddenly.

A flash of cold light appeared, and the air seemed to distort for a moment.

Su He quickly dodged and simultaneously swung the Tai Xuan Sword to counterattack.

The sword light and the blade's edge clashed, producing a deafening clang.

Su He's entire body emanated a strong spiritual energy fluctuation, as he had already exerted all the spiritual power within him to the fullest extent.

Seeing this, Bai Shuang also joined the battle.

She brandished her twin swords and thrust them straight at the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon let out a low roar and rushed towards Su He and Bai Shuang like lightning.

His massive and powerful body stirred up a storm, as if it were about to tear the entire battlefield apart.

Su He's heart stirred, and he immediately used the law of time.

The demon's movements slowed down immediately, giving him more time to react.

The Tai Xuan Sword transformed into a golden light, slashing directly at the Heavenly Demon.

However, these attacks did not cause any damage to the Heavenly Demon.

It swung its huge claws, swatting away all of Suhe and Baishuang's attacks.

Su He steadied himself, spread his divine sense, and searched for the Heavenly Demon's weakness.

"Bai Shuang, cooperate with me!" Su He shouted loudly.

Bai Shuang nodded, understanding Su He's meaning.

The two simultaneously activated their spiritual power. Bai Shuang's fire spirit technique, combined with Su He's karmic red lotus, created a raging sea of ​​fire before them.

The flames contained immense destructive power, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield.

The demon let out a scream, trying to escape the encirclement of the sea of ​​fire.

However, it became extremely difficult for it to move around in the sea of ​​fire.

Seeing this, Su He and Bai Shuang seized the opportunity to launch an attack. The Tai Xuan Sword and the twin swords transformed into beams of light, piercing through the sea of ​​fire and striking the Heavenly Demon.

The demon roared in agony, but he was not killed.

His body began to emanate a dark energy, and he roared as if to detonate the entire battlefield.

Su He frowned deeply; this was clearly the Heavenly Demon's last counterattack.

He immediately activated the Great Dao Patterns and used the Law of Death to absorb all the life force in the surrounding area.

Under the influence of the Law of Death, the dark energy on the Heavenly Demon's body rapidly dissipated, and it finally collapsed to the ground, never to rise again.

The sea of ​​fire gradually died down, leaving only a patch of scorched earth and the corpse of the Heavenly Demon emitting a faint black light.

Su He stood there, his gaze fixed on the spot where the Heavenly Demon had just appeared. If one Heavenly Demon could appear in that place, then a second and a third would surely follow.

Therefore, Su He's vigilance did not decrease after defeating the Heavenly Demon; on the contrary, he became even more cautious.

He walked to the corpse of the Heavenly Demon and gently touched its cold skin with his palm.

Suddenly, a strange energy fluctuation emanated from inside the corpse.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su He's eyes. He immediately activated his spiritual power and carefully guided the energy out.

As golden and cyan light intertwined, a black and red sphere slowly emerged at the center of the Heavenly Demon's remains—that was the Heavenly Demon Core.

Bai Shuang also walked over, looking at the Heavenly Demon Core in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh, "Judging from its quality, there's quite a lot of energy inside."

"Indeed," Su He nodded, "It would probably fetch a good price at an auction!"

Before they could finish speaking, the two felt the surrounding space begin to distort and deform again.

They realized that this was clearly a sign of the impending arrival of the Heavenly Demon.

Cracks spread out in the void like a spider web, and then demons wearing black armor and exuding a sinister aura poured out from them.

"It seems we still have a tough battle ahead of us." Bai Shuang gripped her twin swords tightly, her expression grave.

Su He did not answer; he had already quickly set up the formation and talismans.

One hundred and twenty-eight array flags spun rapidly, forming a complex protective barrier around them.

"Let's attack together," Su He said in a low voice. "I will use the Law of Death to absorb their life force."

"Alright!" Bai Shuang replied, "My fire spirit spell can buy you some time."

They struck before the Heavenly Demon could react, and flames and sword light shot directly towards the center of the Heavenly Demon.

Although the newly arrived Heavenly Demons are numerous and powerful, each of them possesses at least the cultivation level of an early-stage Saint.

However, they were still unable to completely block the powerful attacks from Suhe and Baishuang.

In an instant, several of the weaker demons turned into black smoke and dissipated into the air.
