Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

The white ape demon saint's primordial spirit fled for its life, its speed so fast that it became a blur, and in the blink of an eye, it had flown more than ten miles away.

Further ahead, Mengchi can be seen in the distance, where the Zhu Yan Demon Emperor is stationed, a force that Li Yuan in his current state cannot contend with.

A sinister smile crept across its lips: "Li Yuan! You wait, one day I will skin you alive!"

Just as they were about to escape the control of the human race, suddenly, a golden light shone in front of them.

A beam of light rose from the ground and instantly transformed into a massive wall of light, stretching out in front of it.

The light barrier was covered with dense runes, and a righteous aura surged into the sky, completely blocking its path.

"What the hell?"

The white ape demon saint's primordial spirit suddenly stopped, looking at the light wall with surprise and uncertainty, feeling his soul wavering, and his expression changed drastically.

What kind of formation is this? It's actually a trapping formation specifically designed to target the primordial spirit.

"Who?!"

"Who's ruining my plans!"

The White Ape Demon Saint let out an angry roar.

A figure emerged from behind the light barrier; it was Zhao Lingyun. He held a formation flag in his hand, its golden light flowing around it and echoing the light barrier.

He sneered, his tone mocking, "White Ape, why are you running so fast? My inspector hasn't finished talking to you yet."

Immediately afterwards, several more figures emerged. Shi Yong, Zhao Hu, Zheng Yuan, and others each held a formation flag and stood in four directions, firmly trapping the White Ape Demon Saint's primordial spirit in the center.

Four Directions Soul-Locking Array

The white ape demon saint looked around in panic and realized that it could not escape. Despair appeared on its face. It turned around suddenly and looked at Li Yuan, who was walking leisurely behind it. Hatred flashed in its eyes.

"Despicable! Shameless!"

It slammed into the light barrier with tremendous force, but the barrier only trembled slightly and could not be broken through at all.

Its spiritual power rapidly dissipated, becoming increasingly weak. Without the protection of its physical body, the power of its primordial spirit was greatly diminished, making it impossible to break through the formation.

"Li Yuan! You despicable scoundrel!"

"If you've got the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one!"

It roared angrily, glaring fiercely at Li Yuan, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, wishing it could tear him apart.

"A one-on-one duel?"

Zhao Lingyun retorted sarcastically, "Didn't we just have a one-on-one duel?"

"How does it feel to be torn to pieces? Haha!"

"Hahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and the White Ape Demon Saint was instantly enraged, never expecting that his opponent was so prescient and had already set a trap.

If it had stubbornly held on and delayed, it might have had a sliver of hope to wait for the Zhu Yan Demon King's rescue.

At that moment, he suddenly turned around and pounced on Li Yuan, letting out an angry roar.

"Li Yuan! I never imagined you were such a despicable scoundrel, utterly ruining Mo Wentian's reputation!"

"cut!"

Li Yuan didn't care at all; his gaze was calm as still water, yet it made the White Ape Demon Saint feel a chilling killing intent.

"The master already said that there's no need to follow rules when dealing with a heartless beast like you, so..."

Li Yuan stepped forward, his clothes fluttering even without wind, his imposing aura causing the White Ape Demon Saint to involuntarily retreat.

"Sir, knowing that I killed you, will only be proud of me."

As he spoke, he raised the knife in his hand, the tip pointing directly at the White Ape Demon Saint, "White Ape, it's time to settle the score between us."

"Aaaaaah! I'm going to kill you!"

The White Ape Demon Saint let out a desperate roar and madly charged at Li Yuan, trying to tear a piece of flesh from his body.

Li Yuan remained motionless as the blade struck down.

The White Ape Demon Saint's primordial spirit instantly split in two.

"No!"

It let out a mournful cry, and its figure quickly blurred, turning into countless tiny specks of light that dissipated into the air.

The once mighty demon saint, a hegemon who dominated the Western Regions for hundreds of years, has thus fallen completely.

Li Yuan sheathed his sword, exhaled a breath of stale air, and swayed slightly, almost losing his balance.

The series of actions he had just performed had taken a huge toll on him, and he was severely exhausted.

Zhao Lingyun quickly stepped forward, helped him up, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Li Yuan shook his head.

He looked up to the west. "The commotion here must have alerted the powerful figures of the Demon Court. We must leave as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized jade plate from his bosom, infused it with his Yuan energy, and the jade plate shone with a dazzling light, quickly forming a silver-white teleportation portal.

This is a pre-set fixed-point teleportation array, with its landing point near Shule City.

"Walk!"

Li Yuan didn't dare to delay and stepped inside first.

Zhao Lingyun and the other three followed closely behind.

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura descended from the sky, causing the world to lose its color and even the air to freeze.

A dazzling ray of light shot down from the western horizon, landing at the spot where the White Ape Demon Saint had fallen, and transformed into a tall figure.

The figure was shrouded in golden light, obscuring its features, but its aura was several times stronger than that of the White Ape Demon Saint.

That's a being at the level of a demon emperor.

The golden figure glanced down at its surroundings, then looked up at the slowly closing portal, and uttered a deep voice.

"Interesting. Such an interesting little fellow has emerged from among the human race."

It did not pursue.

The portal has closed, and the person has already been teleported away.

But it remembered Li Yuan's scent.

The golden figure stood still for a moment, then transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the horizon.

Before Shule City, Li Yuan stepped out of the teleportation portal, stumbled, and almost fell. Zhao Lingyun rushed over to support him, anxiously asking, "Are you alright?"

Li Yuan waved his hand, glanced back at the direction the teleportation portal had disappeared, and felt a lingering fear.

That aura just now was terrifying.

If he had been any later, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave.

"Back to the city."

The group rushed towards Shule City and saw in the distance that blood and flesh were flying everywhere and the battle was fierce.

"The White Ape Demon Saint has been slain! You shall all surrender at once!"

Li Yuan gathered his strength and shouted, his voice like rolling thunder covering the entire battlefield. Seeing him appear unharmed, the demon soldiers immediately realized that what he said was true.

The demon kings were filled with doubt and looked back at the White Gobi Desert, but they did not see the White Ape Demon Saint. They were immediately shocked.

How is that possible?

Li Yuan is at most a junior in the Condensation Realm, while the White Ape Demon Saint has been famous for hundreds of years. In a one-on-one fight, there is no way he could be defeated.

Not to mention killing him.

Li Yuan sneered and threw a bloody lump into the air, causing a commotion on the battlefield. It turned out to be the head of the White Ape Demon Saint.

"The white ape is dead! Anyone who resists will be killed without exception!"

With Li Yuan's sharp shout, the noisy battlefield instantly fell silent.

The demon soldiers stared at the hideous face that remained open in death, fear spreading like a plague.

"withdraw!"

"Retreat immediately!"

Upon seeing that the Demon Saint was dead, the demon kings were terrified. They turned and fled, shouting as their demon soldiers behind them screamed in terror and scrambled to escape westward.

The army collapsed like a house of cards, and the area outside Shule City was filled with fleeing demon soldiers, with billowing dust everywhere.

"Pursue!"

On the city wall, Hu Cheng waved his command flag and issued the order.

The city gates were wide open, and the defending troops, their morale soaring, pursued relentlessly.

This was a one-sided massacre. The demon soldiers, having lost their will to fight, were powerless to resist the pursuit of the defending army and were slaughtered, leaving corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood flowing.

The battle lasted for half an hour.

Li Yuan personally led the team, chasing the fleeing demon soldiers for over a hundred miles, wiping them out completely, and even killing a demon king along the way.
