Shirley and the others looked at each other, their faces filled with determination.
They knew that they wouldn't be able to live, but some sacrifices were inevitable. If Muffy could bring the news back to the nearby city, it would be worth it even if they were sacrificed!
In just an instant, they had the thought of fighting with their lives on the line to let Muffy escape.
However, in the next moment, an even more vast and ferocious aura swept across the entire mountain peak. Even the forest at the foot of the mountain was enveloped by this terrifying aura. The towering ancient trees trembled, and the leaves fell one after another.
Shirley and the others who were fighting crazily and Muffy who had overcome their fear were also enveloped by this aura. That kind of heavy pressure made them feel as if they were walking in a swamp with every step, and it was difficult for them to move.
"This is... A demon at least at the Martial King Level 5!"
Shirley and the others immediately felt despair in their hearts, and Muffy was also trembling.
They raised their eyes and saw a huge monster appearing on the peak of the mountain. It was a pitch-black giant snake-shaped demon. Its scales were even bigger than a palm. That pair of cold and bloodthirsty eyes locked onto Shirley and the others. It made all the hairs on their bodies stand up. They were extremely terrified.
Even the twenty Martial King Level 1 Demon leaders, who were treating Shirley and the others as prey, stopped at this moment. They didn't dare to move. They knew that their prey had already become the prey of this lord.
Shirley and the others were not only in despair because they were about to die, but also because a snake-shaped demon at the Martial King Stage Level 5 had sneaked into the Fourth Layer.
This kind of demon should only appear in the Fifth Layer and above.
Shirley immediately understood that something must be going on. Otherwise, demons of this level would definitely not be interested in sneaking into weaker layers just to kill some weak humans.
This peak Warlord demon was not even a match for the city lord of the Fourth Heaven. It was imaginable that the schemes of the myriad races were even greater than they had imagined.
However, what puzzled Shirley and the others was that this demon didn't kill them immediately. Instead, it stared into the distance with its scarlet eyes.
A terrifying and majestic aura rose from its enormous body, but it didn't seem to be directed at them. Instead, it was a warning to some existence in the distance.
"Step!" "Step!"
At this moment where one could only hear the deathly stillness of falling leaves, the sound of footsteps sounded like thunder. It caused Shirley and the others, as well as those demons, to involuntarily look back.
On the horizon in the distance, a figure shockingly appeared. In a few blinks of an eye, this figure walked up from the small forest path at the foot of the mountain.
It was a white-haired old man who carried a long sword on his back. He wore a plain robe and did not emit any aura, but he had a frightening temperament.
"It's a senior of my Human Race!"
Muffy was delighted. Shirley and the others also heaved a sigh of relief.
However, in the next moment, they became nervous again. There were thousands of demons, twenty Martial King Stage Level 1 demons, and a Martial King Stage Level 5 demon. Could this person stop them?
"Human, you shouldn't have come!"
"Just let me enjoy some delicious food. Why do you have to seek your own death?" The snake-shaped demon hovering above the mountain peak stared at Alex with bloodthirsty eyes and spoke. His hoarse voice which was filled with killing intent resounded throughout the mountain peak.
It could feel Alex's cultivation. At this time, Alex's cultivation has already reached the Peak of the Crystal Transformation Stage, and all of this was with the help of the Abyssal Pearl that could devour demons' blood and help him strengthen his own bloodline.
Talking about bloodline, Alex finally awakened the bloodline in the old man's body. This bloodline was somewhat strange and seemed to have been tempered by the Abyssal Pearl. This bloodline was now closely related to the Abyssal Pearl, as if it was bound with it.
The snake-shaped demon stared at Alex. If it wasn't for the fact that it didn't want to cause too much commotion, it wouldn't have warned Alex before.
It had never thought that this human would seek his own death. He was still walking forward even though he had clearly seen so many stronger demons here.
It was a good idea to try and kill all these humans with one strike to prevent the news of it being in the Fourth Layer from being spread out.
Shirley and the others' hearts skipped a beat when they heard the voice of the big demon. They looked at Alex worriedly. They originally wanted to exchange blows along with Alex. However, they were surrounded by Demons, and there was also those twenty Martial King Level 1 demon suppressing them. They couldn't move at all.
"Clang!"
The sound of a sword ringing could be heard. Alex didn't say anything in the face of the demon's words. He drew his sword and slashed forward.
An arc of sword light appeared in the air. It became extremely sharp and berserk because of Alex's Sword Intent. And his berserk but the extremely sharp arc of sword light shot forward. It seemed like it was going to cut through the sky as it slashed forward.
The arc of sword light shot out at an extreme speed. When this sword arc touched a demon, it was like a piece of paper that was easily cut in half.
Halfway up the mountain, a huge sword mark was left on both sides of the sword mark. Countless demons lay on the ground, their blood dyeing the ground red. The terrifying scene caused the demons to tremble. They involuntarily retreated, their eyes revealing a hint of fear.
With just a single sword strike, he had killed over a hundred demons. Although there were several thousand of them, with the strength Alex had shown just now, he could kill them with just a few sword strikes.
This was just a casual strike, how terrifying would it be in a real battle?
The sharp sword arc shattered the pressure that erupted from the giant snake-shaped demon.
Shirley and the others were able to break free from the enormous pressure. They could not be bothered to shake it. In an instant, they reacted and unleashed all of their might as they charged forward. They wanted to regroup with Alex.
"Roar!"
A cold roar was heard from the huge snake-shaped demon's mouth, shaking the entire mountain. Immediately after that, the huge snake-shaped demon roared like a devil, crushing everything in its path.
Along the way from the peak of the mountain, a huge gully was dragged out. Smoke and dust filled the sky. The ferocious aura caused the surrounding demons to dodge, and their entire bodies trembled.
No one could stop the might of this demon.
Shirley and the others who were in the middle of a fierce battle froze. A cold killing intent invaded their bodies, causing them to feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Their bodies felt as if they had fallen into a swamp, and they couldn't move at all.
Boom!
Seeing this, Alex's eyes focused and his aura erupted. His long white hair fluttered in the wind, and his entire body was like a hurricane as he rushed forward in an instant. The longsword in his hand danced wildly, and numerous sharp Sword Energies shot out that killed the demons surrounding Shirley and the others.
"Bang!"
After that, Alex stomped his foot and a huge crater appeared on the ground. He flew up into the sky and raised the sword in his hand. The energy within his body was crazily unleashed, and majestic energy burst forth from the tip of the sword. It formed a gigantic sword beam and slashed down.
This sword was swift and fierce, extremely terrifying.
It passed over the heads of Shirley and the others. The sharp sword light made their skin feel incomparably painful and their expressions changed.
The giant snake-shaped demon did not dodge. It opened its mouth wide and faced the sharp sword light. It seemed like it was going to devour the sword light in a domineering manner. It was extremely ferocious.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the terrifying sword light hit the giant snake-shaped demon's body without any exception. It blocked the huge snake-shaped demon's diving figure.
At the same time, a tooth fall out from the snake-shaped demon's mouth and fell to the ground. Drops of blood also fell from the snake's mouth.
