With a resounding shout, the Black Extinction Demon Blade in his hand once again streaked across the sky, a vast sea of fire burst forth from the soldiers and engulfed Jianye Prefecture City again, his Sword Qi covering it entirely. The Demon Silver that had just emerged from beneath the ground barely escaped the previous Nine Flame Dragons when it saw the saber light again. Instantly, sensing a formidable threat, it fled toward the sky without hesitation.

The direction of its escape was precisely where Hou Yuxiao was vying for Niu Jian's demon body with the five Second-Rank demons.

Upon seeing the direction of Demon Silver's escape, Hou Yucheng's pupils shrank immediately.

This vile beast isn't stupid—it knows how to divert disaster eastward, leading it to mix with the five Second-Rank demons. This greatly increases its chances of escape.

"Go for it directly. If possible, slaughter all these demons!"

A voice echoed into his Sea of Consciousness, jolting Hou Yucheng, his pupils lit up with a hint of excitement as he turned to exchange a glance with Hou Yuduan on the ground below. Hou Yuduan had also received the transmitted message from Hou Yuxiao, nodded understandingly in his direction, and leapt into the air to join him.

The two brothers stood high in the sky, and although they only had a cultivation of the Broken Realm, when compared with Hou Yuxiao in the air or the five demons, their aura seemed significantly weaker. However, bolstered by the aura of the tens of thousands of soldiers from the Red Flame Army below, crimson Holy Light quickly enveloped their bodies.

"Vile creature, prepare to die!"

Hou Yucheng wielded the Black Extinction Demon Blade, once again conjuring nine streaks of Crimson Flame Saber Qi, dominating the skies, and charged forward. He wasn't holding back in the slightest. Although the Holy Army Code was powerful, with his cultivation of the Broken Realm, it was already proving challenging to deal with Second-Rank demons even with the support of the mighty army. Resorting directly to the third form was the safest strategy.

"In the vastness of the heavens, all evil becomes illusory, spitting the Sword of Righteousness, sever the demons and eliminate the wicked with fervor!"

From the Eighth Orifice on Hou Yuduan's chest, endless Vast Righteous Qi gushed forth, and vast white light suddenly condensed behind him, forming the image of a Master. He gently opened his mouth, and suddenly, a Sword of Vast Righteousness spewed forth. Initially, the sword qi was only of ordinary length, but once it soared into the air and merged with the Sacred Army's aura, it instantly ignited with a layer of firelight, swelling thousands of times in size.

The Sword of Righteous Flame suddenly illuminated the sky. The five demons entangled with Hou Yuxiao, along with many nearby demons that had been lurking for a long time, all abruptly turned to look at the sword, their pupils filled with fear.

"There's a Great Confucian present!"

"And one who can merge with the Sacred Army's aura.".

"Isn't this Jianye Prefecture? Does a prefectural city have such depths?"

"No, need to escape..."

...

Not only the demons hidden in the dark, but even the five that were entangled with Hou Yuxiao and were wary of each other lost focus. When they saw the Sword of Righteous Flame being spat out by Hou Yuduan, their pupils immediately flooded with shock and, without hesitation, they suddenly transformed into a gust of wind, attempting to flee.

However, the two prepared and Hou Yuxiao, who had been delaying them in midair for so long—how could the three brothers let it go so easily?

Hou Yuxiao's Demon Ape Martial Spirit raised a long staff, blocking the demons; Hou Yucheng's Nine Dragons Saber Qi pressed towards the silver long snake Demon Silver; Hou Yuduan controlled the Sword of Righteous Flame to dart behind the five demons, sealing their retreat along with Hou Yuxiao from front and back.

Slay!

Not only did the three move with the speed of lightning, but the tens of thousands of Red Flame Army members on the ground also let out an angry roar. The cloud of blood and energy in the sky burst open, swelling again substantially, and the endless Sacred Army Qi surged up into the air to coordinate with the three, immediately suppressing all the demons present.

At this critical juncture, staff, blade, and sword moved simultaneously.

Boom...

Slap...

Swoosh...

Heaven and earth dimmed, the sun and moon lost their light, and the force of the staff, saber light, and sword qi instantly filled the land within a thousand miles. The entire Jianye Prefecture seemed to be enveloped by this momentum—terrifying pressure weighed upon the earth, the space instantly collapsed, and the ground sank immediately, with endless stars faintly appearing in the sky and the massive earth's crust shaking violently.

The five demons in midair, plus the Demon Silver that had just climbed out of the ground—totaling six Second-Rank demons—and those Third and Fourth Rank demons unable to escape in time around them were instantly engulfed by the trio's attack. Despite their massive demon bodies, they were completely covered and vanished without a trace under the world-destroying assault executed by the three.

Dust billowed, sand and stones flew, the earth cracked, the sky crumbled, and everyone's pupils fell into blindness. The only sound left was the charging of the staff force, saber light, and sword qi in the air.

All hearts were suspended at this moment.

Although they couldn't see clearly, they knew that Hou Yuxiao and his brothers, along with the tens of thousands of Red Flame Army soldiers, were Jianye Prefecture City's greatest reliance. It was evident they had gone all out this time.

So, whether this could suppress this group of demons, or in other words, whether they could be victorious, was crucial.

"Ah..."

"Quite the Jianye Prefecture City Red Flame Army, Hou Yuxiao! Let's see how things unfold between us!"

"I just escaped from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave; my strength hasn't fully recovered. When I do return to full strength, I'll surely visit Jianye Prefecture City again to settle with you!"

Out of the six Second-Rank demons, there were only one scream and two fierce rebuttals filled with bravado, the remaining three demons made no sound, but the people of Jianye Prefecture City had found some assurance in their hearts.

They all opened their eyes, and when the dust in the sky cleared, they all paused, their pupils first showing a hint of emotion, then a deep sense of joy.

In midair, the body of Niu Jian, which had been fought over before, was now in Hou Yuxiao's hands. The Second-Rank demon known as Demon Silver had been cut into three pieces, and three other demons, each in different forms, also lost their heads, releasing a dense demon qi into the air, with their lives almost completely drained.
