"The great catastrophe of the Sand Demon is about to begin!"

The Blood Demon King, his face pale and bloodless.

"What should we do now? I'm afraid the Sand Demon race will be slaughtered again!" A Sand Demon Lord trembled all over and said, "There aren't many Sand Demons to begin with. If this Demon Lion is allowed to escape and slaughter, there will definitely be even fewer left!"

"All this is because of these so-called humans!"

Another Sand Demon Lord looked at Yang Tian and the others with hostility.

"Xiaozheng, let's immediately set up the Array!"

Upon hearing the Sand Demon Lord's hostility towards Yang Tian, Chen Tian awakened from his ecstatic state.

What made Chen Tian ecstatic was that Yang Tian was indeed his descendant.

This meant that Yang Tian could return to Huaxia to save the Chen Family.

But now, the most important thing was to rescue Yang Tian.

This Demon Lion was terrifying beyond belief.

Every time it awoke, it would cause a large-scale massacre. Both Chen Tian and Chen Zheng had to use a Sand Demon Soul to calm the Demon Lion down.

But Yang Tian was a living human.

Yang Tian was unable to operate a Sand Demon Soul to calm the Demon Lion.

This situation would be extremely dangerous.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Three loud booming sounds rang out.

Centered around Chen Tian, Chen Zheng, and the Sand Demon Housekeeper, three streams of Demon Breath rapidly merged to form a massive Array.

Swoosh!

This massive Array then moved to envelop the grand locust tree above.

"Son, retreat immediately!"

Chen Zheng shouted loudly.

Under the grand locust tree, Yang Tian stood there, his gaze fixed on the Demon Lion.

When the Demon Lion was sleeping, Yang Tian operated his Divine Sense but couldn't feel the Demon Breath emanating from it.

But when the Demon Lion awoke, Yang Tian didn't need to operate his Divine Sense to feel the powerful and terrifying pressure of the Demon Breath.

This made it a bit difficult for Yang Tian to breathe.

"This Demon Lion, I'm afraid even I am no match for it!"

Yang Tian said, and then he formed a Dharma Seal with his hands, silently recited a Spell, and a stream of Spiritual Breath surged from within him, gathering around him.

The next second.

Whoosh!

Yang Tian's figure flickered and retreated from beneath the great locust tree.

Roar!

Almost simultaneously, the Demon Lion let out a long roar towards the sky.

In the forest, a fierce wind raged, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

The Demon Lion swung its Lion Whip and struck hard, shattering the massive stone wall behind it.

Suddenly, clouds of dust rose into the sky.

The visibility was very low among the crowd; it was almost impossible to see what was happening under the giant locust tree in the midst of the dust.

But a pair of blood-red glowing orbs, as large as lanterns, floated under the giant locust tree.

The crowd, upon taking a closer look, realized these were the eyes of the Demon Lion.

In the haze of the dust, only this pair of lantern-sized eyes emitted a powerful and terrifying light.

It was as if everyone was being looked over by these blood-red eyes one by one.

This instilled a feeling of fear in them.

"We must retreat immediately and prepare ourselves for this Demon Lion!"

High in the air, even the Sand Demon King decided to retreat.

However, when the Sand Demon King wanted to lead more than a dozen Sand Demon Lords away, the Demon Lion had already opened its gaping maw and spewed out a red mist.

This mist rapidly spread over them.

Even the rulers of the Sand Demon race were tightly trapped by this mist.

Roar!

Having done all this, the Demon Lion roared to the sky once more, leisurely walking out from beneath the giant locust tree.

At this moment, the Demon Lion was like a hunter, quietly observing its surrounded prey.

"Activate the Array!"

Chen Tian shouted.

In an instant, three different lights erupted from Chen Tian, Chen Zheng, and the Sand Demon Housekeeper.

These three lights converged and enveloped the Demon Lion.

In a flash!

The Demon Lion suddenly opened its massive maw and spewed flames.

As the flames spread, the web of light formed by those three different lights shattered to pieces.

Crash!

Chen Tian and the others spat out blood.

Their eyes met, all surprised: "This Demon Lion has grown stronger!"

"What do we do? Are we all going to die here?"

Wu Yue asked, her face pale.

"We might not all have to die! We just need the human who awoke the Demon Lion to be killed!"

The voice of the Sand Demon King rang out from high above.

"Does that mean sacrificing Yang Tian's life to calm the Demon Lion's fury?"

Wu Yue's face turned completely white.

"Yang Tian, you are my great-grandson, escape now! We'll figure out a way to deal with it!"

Chen Tian said anxiously.

Yang Tian frowned but didn't flee, instead standing firmly and watching the Demon Lion.

"Yang Tian, what are you waiting for? If you die, the Chen Family will have no hope!" Chen Zheng called out anxiously, "Only you can return to Huaxia, you must escape now!"

"We go together!"

Yang Tian simply said.

He naturally didn't want others to die for him, so he quickly cast over a dozen Gale Divine Talismans, carrying everyone swiftly away.

Roar!

A fierce roar sounded.

They saw the Demon Lion behind them pouncing, swinging its massive claw.

With just one strike, it shattered the Gale Divine Talismans on Yang Tian and the others.

The group fell to the ground, climbed up only to find the Demon Lion guarding the front, making escape impossible.

"Are we going to die here?"

Wu Yue asked, her face pale.

"Die..."

Ling Ying muttered vacantly; however, she glanced back at Yang Tian once and then quickly became calm.

To die alongside Yang was satisfying enough.

Ling Ying said in her heart.

At the same time, Wu Zetian sighed softly: "Perhaps this is fate!"

Silence pervaded the surroundings.

The Demon Lion wasn't in a hurry to attack, contrary to expectations, its blood-red eyes were fixed on Yang Tian below.

"I am not willing!" Chen Zheng, losing control of his emotions: "I, Chen Zheng, have only one son, finally confirmed as my and Bingyun's flesh and blood, and now he is about to die before my eyes? What will become of the Chen Family? Before long, the Corpse Demon will massacre the entire Chen Family!"

Chen Tian clenched his fists, suddenly feeling regretful.

He shouldn't have doubted whether Yang Tian was a descendant of the Chen Family. Now, with Yang Tian's identity confirmed, the only outcome is death.

"Thirteen Sand Demon Marquis, you've really caused trouble this time, allowing a few humans to endanger our entire Sand Demon race!"

The roar of the Sand Demon King echoed in the air.

"Everyone be careful, it's about to attack!"

At that moment, Yang Tian was fixedly watching the Demon Lion.

For some reason, in that instant, Yang Tian felt a familiar aura drifting from the Demon Lion.

This familiar aura puzzled Yang Tian.

But at this moment, sensing the Demon Lion was about to move, Yang Tian quickly warned everyone.

"Is the Demon Lion going to attack us?"

Everyone's hearts tightened.

Roar!

The Demon Lion suddenly roared, charging towards them. Just when they thought they were going to be killed, the Sand Demon suddenly knelt before Yang Tian, emitting a series of chirping, reverent sounds.

"What's happening?"

Yang Tian furrowed his brows.

Wasn't this Demon Lion going to kill them?

Why was it now kneeling before him?

Was this worship?

Was this submission to Yang Tian?

Suddenly, a glow emitted from the Weed Ring on his hand.

In that moment, Yang Tian felt the Holy Sword within the Weed Ring vibrate with a hum.

Yang Tian immediately realized: "I understand now, this Demon Lion has an aura on it that feels familiar to me. Isn't this the aura from the Holy Sword? Could it be that this Demon Lion senses the presence of the Holy Sword and thus submits to me?"
