Starting as a stray dog, I embarked on a journey of cultivation.

"No need, I believe Huguo wouldn't lie to me!" Gou An said calmly, without choosing any points, but instead flipped his hand and put the storage bag into his palm space.

When the Evil Bone Daoist saw that Gou An did not examine the spirit stones at all, he frowned slightly, but quickly regained his calm and composed demeanor.

He gently waved his folding fan and said, "Since that's the case, then hand over that magic weapon to me."

Gou An waved his hand and replied with a smile, "No rush, no rush. In case that Overlord Saint Lord launches a surprise attack, I need to have some countermeasures up my sleeve. Let's wait until we get back to Ten Thousand Demon City. Right now, I need to check on their injuries first."

As soon as Gou An finished speaking, he swayed and landed on the ground, quickly walking towards the Black Tiger lying on the ground.

A gruesome bloody hole was torn open in Black Tiger's chest, blood flowing out continuously. His body twitched slightly, his breath was weak, and only a trace of his consciousness remained.

Gou An immediately took out a bottle of healing pills, poured one out into his hand, and was about to bend down and feed it to the black tiger.

Meanwhile, in mid-air.

The Evil Bone Taoist silently looked down at Gou An, the feigned gentleness in his eyes completely gone, leaving only a chilling coldness.

He quickly scanned his surroundings to make sure there was no one else around, then abruptly slammed his folding fan shut and pointed in the direction of Gou An.

The spiritual light at the front of the folding fan began to gather, gradually condensing into a cold and sharp flying sword phantom. The spiritual energy surged and accumulated power, and in the next instant, it suddenly shot out!

The flying sword transformed into a streak of light, hurtling through the air and piercing straight into Gou An's heart, its speed so fast that it left almost no afterimage.

Just as the flying sword arrived, Gou An seemed to have sensed it beforehand. Holding the black tiger, he suddenly leaped to the side, nimbly avoiding the fatal blow.

Boom!

The flying sword crashed heavily to the ground, causing the earth and rocks to churn and creating a crater several meters deep, with debris flying everywhere.

"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed across the Evil Bone Daoist's eyes, and he frowned slightly.

Gou An landed with the black tiger in his arms, gently placing it back on the ground. He looked up at the Evil Bone Daoist in mid-air and demanded, "You bastard, you actually dared to attack me! Aren't you afraid the Demon King will find out?"

When his conspiracy was exposed, the Evil Bone Taoist not only did not panic, but burst into laughter.

He then said, "In this godforsaken place, with no one around, if I kill you, who will know it was me?"

"When I return to the City of Ten Thousand Demons, I can report to the Demon King that you were negligent in leading the team and mistakenly entered the trap set by the Overlord Saint Lord, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army."

"After all, the right to interpret the truth has always been held only by the living."

After listening, Gou An slowly smiled and said, "But if you want to kill me, it won't be that easy."

The Evil Bone Taoist no longer concealed himself, unfolding his folding fan again and slowly waving it: "Now that the window paper has been torn open, I no longer need to pretend."

"With your mere Golden Core cultivation, killing you is as easy as flicking my finger. Moreover, all these demon generals are severely injured and lying on the ground, and you have no help by your side. Today, you have no way to survive."

Gou An remained calm and replied, "Who said I have no help?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Tiger, who had been lying on the ground on the verge of death, suddenly straightened up and stood up. The bloody gash on his chest had disappeared, and his skin was completely intact again.

While bending down to save him, Gou An realized that ordinary pills were useless, so he chose the demonic technique "Withered Tree Rejuvenates," which he had not learned when breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

By consuming the demonic power accumulated by oneself to activate the secret technique, one can be fully restored as long as one has a breath left.

Upon seeing this, the Evil Bone Taoist's expression changed drastically, but he quickly sneered, "Even with one more person, you are still no match for me."

Gou An ignored Xie Gu and instead patted Hei Hu on the shoulder, whispering, "You hold him off for now, I'll go and revive the rest of our brothers."

Black Tiger nodded emphatically, looked up at the sky, then let out a low shout and made a grasping motion towards the distance.

The magical longsword, which had originally fallen among the rubble, was drawn by the force of the wind and flew over, landing steadily in his palm.

"I've known all along that you human cultivators have never been of one mind with us demons!"

As soon as Black Tiger finished speaking, he soared into the air, transforming into a black gust of wind that rushed straight into the sky and pounced on Evil Bone Daoist.

The Evil Bone Taoist waved his folding fan, and layers of cyan wind blades swept out from the fan surface, engaging in fierce combat with the Black Tiger.

Black Tiger is a Divine Realm cultivator, only one realm lower than Evil Bone. Even if he cannot win, he is more than capable of holding off his opponent for a short time.

Gou An didn't delay any longer. While the Black Tiger was holding up the Evil Bone Taoist, he immediately ran through the ruins, searching for the whereabouts of the other fallen demon generals.

He continuously consumed his accumulated demonic power to repeatedly use the "Rejuvenation of Withered Trees" technique to heal everyone. Each time he saved someone, he had to consume more than 100,000 units of his accumulated demonic power.

To avoid suspicion, he would feed these demon generals a Qi-replenishing pill before each rescue, using it as a pretext for healing them.

Although the demonic energy was greatly depleted, Gou An felt no remorse whatsoever.

After all, the current situation is dangerous, and all the demon generals must be awakened and join forces to fight the enemy.

As for Xuan Kongzi, Gou An still didn't know where he was. Perhaps he was blocked by the black mist outside Guimenqiu and couldn't come in.

Therefore, at this moment, only by relying on the group of demon generals in front of us can we overcome the current crisis.

Even the charred snake was restored by Gou An by consuming 200,000 demon power points.

After all the treatments were completed, Gou An's demonic power value actually turned negative.

[Current Realm: Golden Core Great Demon]

[Demon Power Value: -865800/100000000]

"Is that even possible?" Gou An was speechless, but thankfully his cultivation level hadn't dropped back down.

After saving several people, Gou An discovered that the more severely injured the target was, the more demonic energy it consumed when using the "Rejuvenation of a Withered Tree" technique.

At this moment, they were in mid-air.

After the Evil Bone Taoist sent the Black Tiger flying with a wave of his fan, he was about to deliver a fatal blow when he suddenly saw the other demon generals, who had been seriously injured and lying on the ground, also take to the air and form a neat formation in mid-air.

"How could that be?" The Evil Bone Taoist frowned immediately, clearly not understanding.

Gou An slowly ascended into the air and hid behind the nine demon generals in formation, uttering a harsh threat: "Have you forgotten what your grandpa is? I'm an alchemist, putting out their fire is a piece of cake!"

"Bullshit! Where would you find a pill that could not only bring someone back to life but also restore them to full health?" The Evil Bone Daoist simply did not believe it.

Gou An shrugged and laughed, "It's normal that you're stupid and don't know. How could you possibly see through my methods?"

Evil Bone was amused by Gou An's words, then gritted his teeth and said to the other nine demon generals, "Have you thought this through? Just now, that Overlord Saint Lord was able to severely injure you all by himself, so naturally I can too."

"If you don't want to die, turn around and kill that bastard. At least if you do that, you can still live."
