The sight of dozens of spiritual artifacts flying in unison was truly spectacular. Jiu Ying was utterly stunned. By the time it regained consciousness and tried to resist, it was already too late.
The combined pressure of dozens of spiritual artifacts descended. Before Jiu Ying could even construct any defense, it was instantly torn apart and scattered.
The power of these artifacts did not dissipate. They continued to surge like a tide, striking relentlessly.
Jiu Ying was suppressed by the spiritual artifacts, unable to move. Its massive nine-headed bird body thrashed, trying desperately to break free and escape.
However, Xu Fang gave it no chance. With a wave of his hand, dozens of spiritual artifacts descended, piercing directly through Jiu Ying's enormous form.
Boom!
As the artifacts struck, deafening roars echoed one after another. Countless sprays of blood mist scattered, creating a magnificent spectacle that left all present beings in awe.
When the blood mist gradually settled, Jiu Ying's body crashed down, hitting the ground with a resounding thud and kicking up a storm of dust.
At that moment, Xu Fang retrieved his spiritual artifacts. The beings present understood that the Demon Saint Jiu Ying was likely truly gone.
Indeed, as the dust settled, a vast, deep pit appeared on the ground. Within the pit, there was nothing but Jiu Ying's riddled and torn body.
The demon race members watched this scene, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what to say.
One of the top ten Demon Saints of the demon race had finally met their end here today!
And their death was far from glorious. Without even a shred of resistance, they had simply perished like this!
"Are you staring so intently because you wish to be buried with this Demon Saint?"
Xu Fang's voice echoed among the demon race. They snapped back to reality.
"Daoist Xu Fang, please do not be angered! Jiu Ying brought this upon itself and deserved its fate. We have absolutely no such intentions!"
"Yes, Daoist Xu Fang promised to spare us!"
"We were wrong, please spare our lives!"
Jiu Ying was dead, and the other demon experts, under the combined assault of Huang Zhong Li and others, had also met their bitter end. More than a dozen massive bodies lay scattered across the land, a shocking sight.
This made the remaining demon race members tremble with fear. They dared not act presumptuously any longer, now shouting their pleas and kneeling on the ground, begging for their lives.
"Very well, I said I would spare your lives, and I will. Otherwise, who would return the bodies of these demon experts to the demon race?"
Xu Fang waved his hand and spoke, then changed his tone.
"However, regardless of the circumstances, you, under Jiu Ying's leadership, trespassed upon the human race. This sin cannot simply be overlooked. Do you know my rules?"
The demon race members heard Xu Fang's words and looked at his smiling face. They knew full well what Xu Fang's rules entailed.
Looking at the fallen Jiu Ying and other demon experts, and then at the menacing allied forces, these demons were quite decisive. They immediately threw all their treasures and weapons together.
"Good! We are all people who understand the rules. This makes things much simpler."
Xu Fang smiled and looked at the three human ancestors.
"These are the demon race's reparations to the human race. Whether you accept the demon race's sincerity depends on yourselves."
"This!"
The three human ancestors rejoiced upon hearing this. So many treasures and weapons for the human race?
Without hesitation, they immediately ordered the human race to gather the treasures and weapons.
The beings from other factions had no objections.
They all possessed considerable wealth. Only the human race was impoverished. This incident had arisen because of the human race, making them the greatest victims. These items rightfully belonged to them.
The demon race also behaved themselves, quietly watching as the human race collected all the treasures and weapons. Once it was all over, they looked at Xu Fang with trepidation and hope.
"Scram!"
Xu Fang waved his hand, as if shooing away flies. The demons, feeling immensely relieved, immediately began to flee.
Just then, Xu Fang's voice rang out.
"Wait!"
Hearing Xu Fang's call, the demons froze and all turned to look at him, filled with fear, wondering if Xu Fang had a change of heart.
Xu Fang, however, pointed at the bodies on the ground and said.
"I said I would spare your lives so that you could deliver a message to Di Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi."
"Tell Di Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi that I, Xu Fang, protect the human race. Do not court death. Do not lay any more claims on the human race!"
As these words were spoken, all present beings were startled and looked at Xu Fang in unison.
The human race members were particularly moved. They never imagined that the human race would be so valued by this True Immortal Xu Fang that he would utter such words.
With this declaration alone, as long as the human race did not intentionally cause trouble in the Primordial Era, practically no one would dare to provoke them. This was a protective amulet!
The other beings who had come to assist began to ponder as they saw Xu Fang holding the human race in such high regard.
Given Xu Fang's treatment of the human race, they would need to carefully consider their own attitudes towards them in the future.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The demons dared not say anything more. They quickly agreed, descended, and with much effort, carried away the dozen massive bodies on the ground, fleeing the scene as if escaping.
As the last group of demons disappeared from sight, all present beings sighed in relief.
The chaos caused by the demon race's invasion of the human race had finally come to a complete end.
The human race members were now cheering and celebrating, relieved that their race had narrowly escaped disaster. Many humans were weeping with joy, overcome with emotion.
Xu Fang looked at these humans, who had survived the ordeal, and was deeply moved. These compatriots from another world had truly faced hardship.
While the human race celebrated, the three human ancestors did not join in the revelry. Instead, they ascended and expressed their gratitude to the beings present.
"Thank you, friends from the Dragon Clan! Thank you, friends from the Immortal Court! Thank you, friends from Penglai Immortal Island!"
Without the assistance of these armies, the human race would have been utterly incapable of repelling the demons. Naturally, they had to express their gratitude.
To show their sincerity, the three human ancestors decided to offer the treasures obtained from the demon race to everyone.
However, everyone was aware of the human race's circumstances and politely declined the ancestors' generous offer.
Moreover, they had come to assist the human race primarily because of Xu Fang. After exchanging pleasantries with the three human ancestors, they all descended to Xu Fang's side and engaged in conversation with him.
The three human ancestors also knew that the survival of the human race was entirely thanks to this True Immortal Xu Fang, and they expressed their profound gratitude to him.
The other human race members looked at Xu Fang, who was chatting amicably with the immortal beings, with eyes full of reverence.
At this moment, they felt a sense of belonging and a reliable patron. It was as if, with True Immortal Xu Fang present, the human race would enjoy peace and security, free from war forever.
