It decisively sent out a transmission, inviting the other party to join forces in slaying enemies, and agreed to the previously proposed condition of splitting the corpse.

To its surprise, this True Immortal turned out to be far more terrifying than expected. Despite many past battles, the opponent had evidently been hiding their true strength all along.

Even in a two-versus-one scenario, they still failed to suppress the opponent quickly, and it ended up gravely injured instead.

Whoosh!

The figure of the middle-aged warrior dove down, his blade cleaving into the Zheng Demon, tearing open a bone-deep wound.

Yet this wound could not heal. The Zheng Demon let out an enraged roar, turned abruptly, and charged in Li Hao’s direction, intending to use him as a distraction.

Seeing the Ancient Demon Leader charging towards him, Li Hao’s expression changed dramatically, and he quickly burrowed into the bronze chariot below.

“Hide in the war chariot, don’t come out. Today, I’m going to kill them both!”

The middle-aged warrior’s voice rang out at that moment, emanating an icy killing intent.

Originally, he planned to take Li Hao along, gradually wearing down the Zheng Demon over time before striking the killing blow. But Li Hao’s unexpected performance had shocked him.

Without his assistance, Li Hao had managed to slaughter hundreds of Ancient Demons on his own, even killing a Second-order Ancient Demon.

Now, under the command of this Zheng Demon, only about a hundred Third Rank Ancient Demons remained; all the Second-order Ancient Demons were obliterated. This outcome exceeded the reduction he had initially planned for.

However, the emergence of another Barbarian Demon here complicated matters.

But precisely because of this, he understood that if they failed to eliminate all of them this time, these Ancient Demons would surely recognize something unusual, which would pose a significant disadvantage to them.

“Be careful yourself.”

Li Hao immediately sent this message telepathically.

The Zheng Demon charged toward the bronze chariot, slamming its claws down with all its might. The bronze chariot trembled violently, and the light array on its surface flickered but did not shatter.

This war chariot once belonged to an Immortal King. Despite enduring countless eons of wear and tear, it could still withstand attacks from a True Immortal.

However, Li Hao could sense that the immortal array on the bronze chariot was at its breaking point, perhaps barely a thousandth of its peak strength.

After enduring this strike from the Zheng Demon, its glow dimmed considerably. Li Hao estimated that it could at most withstand twenty or thirty more hits before breaking.

The middle-aged warrior was acutely aware of this as well. He charged at full speed, unleashing a slash of Sword Qi. Space itself seemed cleaved apart, and even time appeared to pause briefly. The Zheng Demon attempted to evade but was still struck by the sword light, leaving its body with yet another gruesome wound.

“Mann, are you planning to wait until I die before taking action?!”

The Zheng Demon couldn’t hold back its furious roar.

“He’s too strong. This is no ordinary True Immortal.”

The Barbarian Demon’s expression was extremely grave. Though it had held back slightly, it wasn’t much—it had already discerned that the middle-aged warrior was an existence far beyond what a single demon leader like them could kill. Their opponent had been deliberately hiding his strength all along.

Ironically, the Zheng Demon was ridiculously foolish. Despite fighting him for years, it had failed to see through this and dreamed of devouring him alone—it was pure delusion.

As the Barbarian Demon approached, they joined forces once more, engaging the middle-aged warrior in a brutal fight.

Li Hao, observing the scene, steered the bronze chariot away from the battle, avoiding any potential fallout.

Seeing that the two Ancient Demon Leaders had no intentions of paying attention to him, Li Hao manipulated the Remnant Blade and continued to attack the remaining Third Rank Ancient Demons.

As the Remnant Blade and Primordial Spirit struck, one Third Rank Ancient Demon after another fell.

Hiding within the bronze chariot, Li Hao remained relatively safe.

“Bastard!”

The Zheng Demon felt its subordinates’ presence within the territory dwindling rapidly, its eyes reddening with fury. Even if it managed to kill these two members of the Human Race after this battle, the losses it suffered were already severe.

But it could no longer afford to be distracted. The middle-aged warrior continued to ignore the Barbarian Demon, focusing all his efforts on attacking it, leaving the Zheng Demon barely able to fend him off.

Swish!

The Remnant Blade slashed through the air. An escaping Ancient Demon was caught, its body destroyed. Then, the Primordial Spirit followed up, killing it completely.

In mere moments, of the hundred-plus Ancient Demons in the territory, only a few scattered ones remained, fleeing in all directions out of sheer terror.

“Flying Phase!”

Li Hao’s Object Control range doubled as the Remnant Blade sped forth, taking down two more fleeing Ancient Demons.

In an instant, the Ancient Demon Territory was left littered with the corpses of Ancient Demons, piled atop the myriad snow-white Human Race bones already scattered across the ground.

In the void above, only the middle-aged warrior and the two Ancient Demon Leaders were still locked in combat.

Steering the bronze chariot closer to the scene, Li Hao kept a vigilant eye on their brutal engagement. The Zheng Demon, its body riddled with wounds and its aura withering, looked as though it would have been slain by now if not for the other Ancient Demon Leader’s aid.

As things stood, the two of them, working together, had essentially wiped out the Zheng Demon’s entire domain in one fell swoop!

It was far quicker than their initial plans, but the cost had also been great. Golden threads running through Li Hao’s Primordial Spirit burned continuously, leaving him with only one remaining.

However, with so many Ancient Demon corpses at hand, Li Hao felt that he could soon replenish himself, even achieving greater gains than before.

Swish!

Noticing the Zheng Demon had been injured and exposed a flaw, Li Hao suddenly directed the Remnant Blade to strike.

The blade’s edge swept forward, and the Zheng Demon, sensing the chill, glanced sharply at it, a look of fury flashing in its eyes.

But it was too late to stop the attack. The Remnant Blade slashed into its wound again, further tearing the injury, though it failed to penetrate the Zheng Demon’s body completely.

The affected area, torn apart by the Remnant Blade, soon began to heal rapidly.

“What a tough body.”

Li Hao’s face darkened slightly. It was the first time the Remnant Blade had encountered such resistance. He found that it couldn’t pierce the Zheng Demon’s flesh outright, and when the blade struck bone, it felt like colliding with Divine Iron, sending a jarring rebound through him.

Splurt!

Suddenly, the middle-aged warrior appeared in front of the Zheng Demon in an instant, closing the distance. With a single strike of his blade, he severed the Zheng Demon’s head.

Then, a vertical eye on the warrior’s forehead split open, releasing a beam of Divine Fire that enveloped the Zheng Demon’s body, preventing it from regenerating.
