When the demon king rushed back, he saw only an empty space. Not to mention people, there was not even a ghost.

He was already very fast, and it only took him a moment to get back to where he is now. It was a pity that Gu Xia had already teleported everyone away before him.

I can only thank the demon race for being born rebellious. If he and that demon man hadn't hurt each other, such a good opportunity wouldn't have been created.

The Scorpion-tailed Demon King roared angrily.

"Where are the people? Where are those damned monks?"

Noticing that there wasn't even a single monster around, he became even more furious. It wasn't because he was worried about his little brothers, he didn't care about their lives or deaths, there were plenty of monsters anyway. He was just angry because he thought that they couldn't even do such a small thing as watching a human being, and instead let those ants take this opportunity to escape.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

At this moment, the mad Scorpion-tailed Demon King moved his nose and suddenly smelled a strange odor.

He barely managed to pull himself together from his anger and looked in the direction where the smell came from. Perhaps it had become very faint with the passage of time, and if it weren't for the monster's keen sense of smell, it would have been easily overlooked.

"what?"

He accurately found the location of the smell and gradually frowned as the distance shortened.

This taste...

When the monsters heard the order from the Demon King, they finally rushed back from all directions. However, even though they were so frightened by the pressure that they could not stand steadily, they still avoided that place intentionally or unintentionally.

Some monsters even sneezed in annoyance, and their claws dug deep grooves in the ground.

Obviously disgusted by the smell.

The Scorpion-tailed Demon King suddenly created a hurricane, and the lingering smell finally dissipated completely, and the monsters slowly returned to normal.

It dawned on him.

No wonder all the monsters guarding the hostages disappeared without a trace. I wonder which wicked guy had done something here in advance.

This smell was what monsters hated the most, so they instinctively chose to avoid it. He was not affected because of his strong strength, but he definitely did not like this thing.

Damn the world of cultivation!!

Don't give him the chance to catch the culprit.

"Despicable human—"

The demon king's roar pierced through the sky. All the surrounding demon beasts, big and small, lay on the ground in fear, not daring to make a sound.

Obviously, it feels bad to be played like a dog again and again.

The Scorpion-tailed Demon King had a ferocious look on his face, and the surrounding wood and rubble were scattered all over the ground, but even so, he could not eliminate the anger in his heart.

"Go! Chase after him!"

He pointed in the direction he came from, "Go and capture that human for me. I want her to know the consequences of angering me."

A group of monsters didn't dare to make a sound and crawled away.

*

The commotion here was not small. In fact, the demon man had been feeling his eyelids twitching ever since the Demon King left. Now his heart was finally at peace.

He looked sinisterly at Gu Xia who was surrounded.

Just now, she took advantage of the chaos and killed several demons along the way.

He slowly curled his lower lip, his smile not reaching his eyes, "You really are worthy of being my direct disciple. I underestimated you."

He has been fighting against the demons for so long and is still alive and well. He really has some abilities.

Gu Xia remained calm and composed, "Okay, okay."

Basically every demon she had beaten had said something like this, and her ears were almost callused from hearing it.

"You went through so much trouble just to rescue those monks, right?" The man came to his senses and chuckled, "This is really the usual style of your five sects, stupid and ridiculous."

Gu Xia said nothing.

In fact, she felt that the other person was probably mad at her. Although he was still smiling, his expression was distorted and somewhat scary.

But the man probably didn't expect Gu Xia to answer him, so he just finished talking to himself, and then changed his tone, his eyes were murderous, "But it doesn't matter, just run away, you are just a bunch of useless trash anyway."

"But you—" He raised his hand, with demonic energy surging in his palm, "Gu Xia, one of the direct descendants of Taiyi Sect. If we can bring you over, I'm sure the elders of your sect will be restless."

As the last word fell, he flipped his palm and the demonic energy suddenly burst out.

"Zheng——"

The Fu Sheng Sword fell into Gu Xia's palm. She was not affected by his pressure. The sword light turned into a huge sword shadow. The two attacks collided in mid-air and the air flow fluctuations were terrifying, which directly blew away the demons who tried to sneak attack her.

The man was not affected at all. He took advantage of Gu Xia's retreat to gather strength for another attack. Every move he made was deadly. Visible anger and murderous intent filled his eyes. It was obvious that he wanted to use her to report to the Demon Lord.

Oh wow.

Gu Xia is not stupid. She has no intention of continuing to tangle with the other party. Her original purpose was to save people. Now that everyone has run away, why is she still staying here?

What's more, Gu Xia didn't forget that there was a demon king. After being tricked by her, he must want to kill her now.

Thinking of this, Gu Xia suddenly stopped, held his sword across to meet the attack that was already close at hand, and then quickly used the force to roll over and lightly retreated a distance of several dozen meters.

"I'm sorry, my mission is completed, so I won't play with you anymore."

The girl's voice was clear and she easily snapped her fingers among the demons.

The man's eyes focused, and he tried to catch her at an extremely fast speed, but it was too late. A white light appeared on Gu Xia's body, and then the talisman took effect, and her figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Instead, there was a confused-looking Scorpion-tailed Demon King.

Just as he was about to come over to deal with Gu Xia, the culprit, he felt the world spinning before his eyes, and when he came to his senses he was already here.

The demon man's pupils shrank, and other demon cultivators pounced on him like wolves and tigers. At this moment, in the eyes of the Demon King, this group of people wanted to murder him.

"???"

It never ends, you scumbags.

"Boom——"

With a terrifying loud noise, all the giant trees within a radius of several hundred meters were broken, and a spider-web-like crack spread on the ground.

Just kidding, the monster race’s thick skin and tough flesh are not exaggerated.

Except for the leading man, the other demon cultivators were either dead or injured, and they probably couldn't spare any effort for the time being.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Xia appeared at the Demon King's original position. As early as the previous time when she tricked the Demon King, she seized the opportunity to stick a replacement talisman on the other party.

Now their positions were switched, and she rushed back to the teleportation array that had been set up in advance, wiped out her aura, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

I guarantee that now even if those monsters have dog noses, they won’t be able to find me.
