Everyone watched the attack with anticipation, hoping this strike would kill the Demonic Being Wu Ti.
However, the greater their hope, the greater their disappointment.
This attack, though seemingly immensely powerful, only revealed how naive they were when it truly struck the Demonic Being.
"Rumble!"
With deafening roars, the shockwaves from the exploding arrows sent everyone in the valley flying. The earth seemed to be plowed open, soil erupting everywhere.
Just as everyone believed the Demonic Being had perished in the explosion, a low voice echoed, sending their hearts into their throats.
"Hmm, that actually hurt a little!"
"You damned ants, you deserve to die!"
As the dust settled, the Demonic Being Wu Ti slowly emerged from the center of the explosion.
He was no longer the arrogant and unbridled figure from before. His demonic body was covered in wounds, each gash a testament to the damage he had sustained.
This attack had indeed inflicted significant injuries upon him, but that was all.
Having been at the peak of the Tongtian Realm First Layer, he had relied on his demonic body to withstand the blow.
An attack comparable to the ninth layer of the Reincarnation Realm!
He slowly absorbed the emotional energy that dispersed in the air, then grabbed a few humans and devoured them.
In the blink of an eye, granulation began to appear on his wounds, and they healed at a visible pace.
It wouldn't be long before he returned to his full strength.
"You have successfully angered me!"
"You shall await death in terror!"
Wu Ti spoke in a low voice, the crimson in his eyes deepening. An intense killing intent emanated from him, causing those present to tremble.
He could never have imagined being injured by mere ants.
This was simply a humiliation in his demonic life!
Unforgivable!
Beside him, the leading guard, witnessing the Demonic Being Wu Ti survive his strongest attack, was filled with disbelief.
"Impossible, how could you possibly survive?"
"It's over, it's all over!"
Even after exhausting their ultimate means, the Demonic Being Wu Ti had survived. Then, their end was nigh!
There was no way anyone could resist this demon anymore.
"Take the young lady and flee!"
"I'll cover your retreat!"
Despite his unwillingness, the leading guard did not forget his mission.
In this moment of crisis, he ordered his subordinates to escort the person in the carriage and flee, while he remained to hold the line.
Knowing this was a suicidal act, he did so without hesitation.
Hearing this shout, the remaining guards snapped back to reality. This demon was too powerful, even their captain, their strongest fighter, could not stand against him.
Thus, they quickly produced divine movement talismans, affixed them to the carriage and themselves, and immediately began to escape.
The previous attack had shattered the illusion Wu Ti had cast, effectively creating an escape route for everyone.
"We're doomed, let's run too!"
He Chen's face was pale. He had just seen a glimmer of hope, only for despair to descend upon him. It was impossible for anyone to accept such a blow!
Now that even these guards were fleeing, if they didn't escape, there would be no chance.
The others in the caravan understood this too, and thus, they too began to flee.
"No rush, let's wait a bit longer, there's a trap!"
Xu Chuan remained seated calmly in the carriage, showing no sign of panic.
Escape?
Where to escape?
Could they escape?
According to He Chen's script, everyone in this caravan was to be devoured by this Demonic Being.
Therefore, it was clear he had a contingency plan to prevent their escape.
As expected.
Before He Chen could retort, screams erupted throughout the valley.
"Ah!"
"There's a trap here!"
"Pain, it hurts so much!"
At the valley entrance, those closest to it were the first to rush out. In that instant, they seemed to encounter something terrifying, letting out screams before their bodies dissolved into pools of blood.
Wu Ti gestured, and the blood rushed towards him, being absorbed and transformed into energy for his recovery.
Witnessing this, the guards who had been preparing to flee dared not move rashly, fearing they would suffer the same fate.
"Brother Xu, as expected, your insight is profound!" He Chen said with lingering fear. He hadn't expected this demon to be so wicked, intending to kill everyone.
If Xu Chuan hadn't stopped him just now, he might have charged towards the valley entrance himself.
Then, his fate would have been no different from those people.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing that escape was impossible, the leading warrior gritted his teeth and prepared to fight Wu Ti to the death.
However, with only the peak cultivation of the Nirvana Realm, how could he possibly be a match for this demon?
Before he could even launch an attack, he was grabbed by Wu Ti, who squeezed him in his hand like a chick.
"A delicious meal delivered to my doorstep, I accept!"
Wu Ti let out a sinister laugh and prepared to devour the leading warrior in his grasp.
"Let him go!"
Suddenly, a gentle female voice emanated from the carriage protected by these warriors.
Then, the carriage exploded, and a valiant young girl soared into the sky. Her spear thrust forward, piercing Wu Ti's arm directly.
Wu Ti cried out in pain and instantly released the guard.
Seeing the girl who had intervened, Xu Chuan, who had been about to act, stopped and decided to observe further.
"Thank you for saving me, my lady. Your subordinate was negligent, I beg for your punishment!"
The guard, rescued by the girl, quickly ran before her and knelt on one knee.
"It's alright, it's not your fault. You are no match for this demon," the girl said, looking at Wu Ti with a solemn expression. She herself was not entirely confident against this fiend.
She had been sleeping in the carriage and hadn't noticed everything happening outside. Fortunately, she had woken up at the critical moment and intervened, saving the guard.
Otherwise, he would have certainly met his end on the spot.
"You all retreat, let me deal with him!"
The girl signaled the guards behind her to move back, fearing they would be harmed by the ensuing battle.
She could already sense Wu Ti's cultivation: a demon at the eighth layer of the Reincarnation Realm, while she was only at the third layer.
Based on cultivation alone, she seemed to have no advantage.
But she showed no fear. Since she had encountered this, she had no intention of ignoring it!
Even if she abandoned these guards and the remaining people in the caravan, she could easily escape from Wu Ti.
"Oh?"
"I didn't expect to find a little human girl at the third layer of the Reincarnation Realm hidden here?"
"What a surprise. By devouring you, I will surely return to my peak!"
Wu Ti paid no mind to the injury on his arm. What interested him more was this suddenly appearing girl.
The flesh and soul of a Reincarnation Realm cultivator were not just of minor help to him.
"Hmph, fiend, today is your death day!"
The girl let out a cold shout. Even if she couldn't win, her spirit could not falter!
