Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

If Ning Xiu wished, he could even unleash the power of his destiny star to forcibly suppress and kill all the demons on this battlefield.

"Human brat, you dare to come all the way from the Great Shang Dynasty to Yaotuo Prefecture. I must say your courage is commendable, but today, don't even think about going back. Leave your remains in Tianjue Kingdom. My collection is indeed missing the remains of the Dragon Elephant King."

The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord grinned, revealing its two dragon fangs, and sneered at Ning Xiu.

With three demon lords attacking simultaneously, no demon clan would believe that Ning Xiu could escape from Yaotuo Prefecture, a place that had already been forcibly sealed off by the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord before his arrival.

Just like how those at the Dragon-Elephant Realm need to put in a lot of effort to forcefully break through the encirclement.

Ning Xiu remained silent, holding three long spears in his four arms, his body wreathed in black flames.

"Attack!" Qingyue Demon Lord roared, taking the lead and pressing forward with his bear body, slamming his palms down.

Its paws are as heavy as mountains, with the force of a thousand pounds. The powerful wind from its swipes stirs up hundreds of layers of clouds, howling into the sky.

The earth could not withstand such a heavy blow. Before the bear's paw even landed, the outline of a paw print had already appeared on the earth's surface.

The Black Wind Demon Lord responded immediately, unleashing a burst of claw strikes. Hundreds of sharp claw-like energy waves shot out, enveloping Ning Xiu from all directions, seemingly leaving him no room to dodge or maneuver.

With a single breath, the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord unleashed a torrent of flames that swept across the land. The combined power of the three demon lords was earth-shattering.

The Purple Dragon Clan members, who had already retreated to the Purple Cloud Prefecture, saw this scene from afar, and their faces were filled with shock and astonishment.

Is this the power of the Dragon Elephant King?

Isn't that a bit too ferocious and terrifying? If the target were them, the consequences would be unimaginable; they would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.

"It's terrifying. With the three demon lords attacking at the same time, how could the human race possibly be a match for them?" a member of the Purple Dragon Clan couldn't help but say.

Ning Xiu's Black Heaven Floating Pagoda Supreme Technique was no ordinary thing either. As he swiftly swung the three long spears around, willow trees, dragon shadows, and golden crows appeared in three forms.

It protected Ning Xiu and shielded him from the attacks of the three demon lords.

Ning Xiu silently threw a punch with the hand that wasn't holding the gun, his target being the Black Wind Demon Lord.

The strange phenomena of Yin Liu, Zhu Long, and Jin Wu appeared quickly and shattered just as fast, but they managed to block Ning Xiu from the first wave of attacks from the three demon lords.

Ning Xiu wanted this. He didn't think he could actually contend with three demon lords at the same time; that would be asking for trouble and courting death.

The reason he stayed instead of returning to Qingque Prefecture via the teleportation array was that he was waiting for the karmic fire on the Black Wind Demon Lord to take shape.

Before that, we must attract his attention and absolutely not let the Black Wind Demon Lord discover the abnormality on my body.

Therefore, Ning Xiu's main target was him, and what he wanted was for the Black Wind Demon Lord to focus all his attention on him and not be able to spare any attention.

Ning Xiu unleashed a series of punches, the force of which surged forth towards the Black Wind Demon Lord.

The Black Wind Demon Lord was also stunned. Of the three demon lords present, why did you, the Great Shang Demon Subduer, only target me? Did you think I was the easiest to bully?

The Black Wind Demon Lord was immediately enraged and took Ning Xiu's attack head-on, but unexpectedly, the faint karmic fire on his body finally turned into a raging fire and spread all over his body.

Only then did the Black Wind Demon Lord realize that something was wrong, but Ning Xiu, having waited until this point, would not give him any chance to save himself.

Detonate!

As Ning Xiu's heart stirred, the karmic fire on the Black Wind Demon Lord suddenly expanded dozens of times, devouring one of his forelimbs.

The power of karmic fire is extremely terrifying; even those at the Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm who are tainted by it are helpless against it.

In the blink of an eye, one of the Black Wind Demon Lord's legs disappeared in the karmic fire, burned to ashes.

"Ah! What is this?!"

The Black Wind Demon Lord roared in terror, for he had not experienced the threat of death for many years since he entered the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm.

Right now, his heart was filled with terror. The Black Wind Demon Lord had a strange feeling that if he could not extinguish these flames, he would perish here today and die in the Demon Continent.

The strange behavior of the Black Wind Demon Lord also caught the attention of the Azure Mountain Demon Lord and the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord. The two demons had never come into contact with karmic fire before, and had only heard of it, so they could not recall it for a while.

"Help me! Help me! This human brat is using dirty tricks!" The Black Wind Demon Lord shook his body incessantly, but to no avail.

The flames consumed his shoulders, his body, and his head.

In just four breaths, the Black Wind Demon Lord's entire body was burned to ashes, and a wisp of his leopard-shaped remnant soul drifted out of his body, about to flee north.

[Slaying a demon race expert at the 'Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm' grants +300000 General Proficiency and an additional critical hit: +1 Breakthrough Point]

But at that moment, the Yin Willow in Ning Xiu's hand became extremely bloodthirsty, like a shark spotting its prey, and flew out of his hand to chase after the remnant soul of the Black Wind Demon Lord.

As Yin Liu pierced through the remnant soul of the Black Wind Demon Lord at an extremely fast speed, the Black Wind Demon Lord's soul was completely absorbed by Yin Liu, leaving not a trace behind.

From then on, the Heavenly Kingdom lost a Dragon-Elephant Realm expert, and the world was without the Three Demon Lords.

"Black Wind!" the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord exclaimed in disbelief.

He had no idea what methods Ning Xiu had used to so quickly kill a Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator. Although the Black Wind Demon Lord was the weakest of the three demon lords, he was still a true Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator.

He... he's dead?

With Yin Liu back in hand, Ning Xiu looked at the Black Wind Demon Lord's Destiny Star disappearing in the sky. He didn't bother to recall what had happened and immediately used his teleportation technique to head towards the teleportation array on the battlefield.

Being able to kill a Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm cultivator using the trump card of Karmic Fire is already the greatest gain from this trip to Tianjue Kingdom, so there is no need to linger any longer.

"Where do you think you're going to run off to?"

Although the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord and the Azure Mountain Demon Lord were terrified that Ning Xiu had killed their kin on their own territory, they could not allow Ning Xiu to leave after killing the Demon Queen.

The two demon lords immediately gave chase, only to see Ning Xiu disappear from their sight after passing through a circular stone gate.

"How is this possible?" The Azure Mountain Demon Lord and the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

How can a living person just disappear like that?

They quickly arrived at the circular stone gate, only to discover that the other side of the gate was not a battlefield, but a place they had never seen before.

On the other side of the stone gate, Ning Xiuzheng stood side by side with another human, talking about something.

"What is this thing? Let's go take a look." The Azure Mountain Demon Lord shrunk into human form and strode towards the stone gate.

Otherwise, even if it burst, it still wouldn't be able to reach Qingque Prefecture.

……

Seeing Ning Xiu emerge from the stone gate, Peng Futian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Yaotuo Prefecture was the territory of Tianjue Kingdom, and he was really worried that Ning Xiu might encounter some danger there since he hadn't returned for so long.

Seeing Ning Xiu return safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Ning, did something happen over there that took you so long to return?" Peng Futian asked.

"I encountered several powerful demons and fought them in a fierce battle. It was quite exhilarating. I also killed a Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator from the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom," Ning Xiu laughed heartily.

With his towering, black pagoda-like form, his laughter not only lacked any sense of joy but instead appeared extremely ferocious and evil, making him seem like some kind of evil god.

"This..." Peng Futian was stunned when he heard Ning Xiu's words.

What's going on? They killed a demon race member at the Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm?

Is this something that can be done in a short time? Ning Xiu makes it sound like he's chopping cabbage.

As a Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator, Peng Futian was well aware that if he didn't intend to fight to the death, even if four or five Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivators surrounded him, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

In short, if you can't beat them, you can still escape. Unless you can unleash a powerful force capable of instantly killing a Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator, you simply can't hold back a Dragon Elephant King.

But since Ning Xiu had already said that, Peng Futian naturally didn't think he was lying. Why would a dignified Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivator need to use such words as a gimmick?

Ning Xiu truly killed a Dragon Elephant King of the Heavenly Extinction Kingdom!

"Has the Great Shang Dynasty finally produced a prodigy who can rival the Three Sages?" Peng Futian thought excitedly to himself.

Just then, a burly, blue-haired man emerged from the stone gate of the altar; his hands were still shaped like a bear demon.

Peng Futian's expression immediately turned serious upon seeing this; it was the Dragon Elephant King from the Tianjue Kingdom who had arrived via the teleportation array.

The appearance of this teleportation array is exactly what the Great Shang Dynasty fears most: that powerful figures from the Tianjue Kingdom will invade Qingque Prefecture, leading to a change of ownership of Qingque Prefecture and a confrontation with the Great Shang Dynasty.

Emperor Wu wanted Ning Xiu to be the Protector-General of Yaotuo Prefecture for this very purpose.

Guard the portal and prevent any demons or demon races from Yaotuo Prefecture from entering Qingque Prefecture.

Upon seeing Peng Futian, the Qingyue Demon Lord also stiffened; he was the Dragon Elephant King of the human race.

What exactly did the human race do? They opened up the border between the Great Shang and Yaotuo Prefecture. Could it be that they intend to send troops to Yaotuo Prefecture?

If that were the case, it would inevitably ignite a great war between the two races.

"You actually dared to follow me? Do you want to end up like that black panther?" Ning Xiu turned around and grinned menacingly.

Up to now, the Azure Peak Demon Lord still doesn't understand how Ning Xiu killed the Black Wind Demon Lord. Because of this, he is extremely wary of Ning Xiu at this moment.

After all, the Dragon Elephant Realm is hard-won, and no one wants to die without knowing why.

"Now that you've come to the territory of the Great Shang, don't even think about going back. Stay here." Peng Futian waved his hand, and the Bagua formation behind him, which had been flickering, suddenly burst into an astonishing light.

It flew into the sky, transforming into a palace the size of which covered this entire celestial realm.

Immediately, the Azure Mountain Demon Lord felt his body become extremely heavy, as if several mountains were pressing down on his shoulders and head, making it difficult for him to move.

Peng Futian pointed again, and the body of the Azure Mountain Demon Lord rose up and flew towards the Bagua formation until it disappeared into it.

The Bagua formation shrank and returned to behind Peng Futian.

The whole process was done smoothly and effortlessly. If Ning Xiu hadn't known the strength of the Azure Mountain Demon Lord, he would have really thought it was some minor demon from somewhere.

A dignified demon lord at the upper level of the Dragon Elephant Realm was subdued by Peng Futian just like that? Without even the slightest ability to resist?

Ning Xiu's expression was one of utter shock, his heart churning with turmoil that he could hardly contain.

Without the Karmic Fire technique, Ning Xiu wouldn't dare say he could definitely defeat the Azure Mountain Demon Lord in a one-on-one fight, let alone kill him.

“I have already grasped the power of the Holy Image, Lord Peng, there is no need to be surprised. With your talent, given time, once you master your own Holy Image, the power you possess will definitely be greater than mine,” Peng Futian said calmly.

"So this is the power of the Holy Image? It is indeed as powerful as the rumors say." Ning Xiu suddenly realized and nodded.

If the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm is also divided into different levels, then those who have just entered the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm should be considered the first level.

Those who possess the holy countenance belong to the second rank.

Those who wield the power of the Holy Image can be considered to be in the third tier, and Peng Futian has undoubtedly reached this level.

Judging from his holy appearance, it seems to be a kind of binding or restraining ability, which has a huge deterrent effect when used in battle.

For a moment, Ning Xiu couldn't help but wonder what kind of special abilities he would gain once the Saintly Manifestation on his body was mastered.

On the other end of the teleportation array, the Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord, still standing on the land of Yaotuo Prefecture, witnessed the entire process clearly.

It never expected that the Azure Mountain Demon Lord would be captured as soon as he arrived, acting like a weakling with no ability to resist.

"What, what's going on?" The Crimson Flood Dragon Demon Lord secretly rejoiced, thankful that he hadn't been the first to go into battle, so he wasn't the one who would suffer.
