Three shichens passed...

After the battle began, the three demons spread out and acted in different positions. They hoped to make Zheng-Fu lose his focus and make it harder to deal with them. In the beginning, their methods were very effective. Zheng-Fu had to work hard to dodge attacks at important points and counter visible attacks at the same time. While he had to balance his energy as well.

But after nearly three shichens, Zheng-Fu was able to adjust everything completely. He began to not be at a disadvantage and was able to counterattack the other side to a certain extent. By fighting with three martial masters of the Half-deity stage, his energy basis had begun to stabilize and was ready to easily move up to the next level.

"Is this all you can do? There are three of you. Why do you act like you're fighting one-on-one with me like that? Or have you guys not taken serious action yet?" Zheng-Fu then spoke provocatively and annoyed the three demons again.

"Yaaaaak! You're really good at talking! Try encountering this stance!"

[Savage Tree Double Sword Secret Skill]

"Die, you damn brat, just die!"

[Gluttonous Dragon Sword Skill]

"You cocky bastard! I want to know how long you can endure this!"

[Great Sword of Lava Valley Skill]

The three demons, who were already angry and displeased from being treated like toys by Zheng-Fu, were even crazier and ferocious when they encountered such words. At first, they had only thought of defeating him and breaking his arms and legs. But now, they had changed their minds to a burning desire to kill Zheng-Fu.

Huh!

However, Zheng-Fu was not afraid of the three's full attack at all. Because his energy level was now much higher than before the battle began. He was completely ready to ascend to the Deity Stage. By that time, he was confident that he could counter the attacks of the three demons.

[Golden Bell Heavenly Qi Armor Skill]

Bong!

Cleng!!! Cleng!!! Cleng!!!

Booooooom!!!

Everything was as Zheng-Fu thought. The three demons' attacks were blocked by Zheng-Fu's Golden Bell Heavenly Qi Armor Skill and also reflected. As a result, the surrounding forest area was destroyed by the energy waves that bounced back until it was messy and had many potholes.

"Impossible! No!!! Impossible!!!" one demon exclaimed in shock. All three of them were very pale. They did not think that Zheng-Fu would be able to block their full-strength attacks and even bounce them back.

"What kind of defensive skill is that? Heavenly Command Sect shouldn't have a skill like this?" the eldest demon said in disbelief. Because he used the ancient secret Heavenly Skill plus all the energy he could use, anyway, it was completely reflected by Zheng-Fu's skill.

"It must be a skill that was discovered in an ancient ruin or some secret land. If it weren't for the skills found in a place like that, it wouldn't be possible to do this. Moreover, training skills to a high level like this would take decades. But this human is still very young!"

Another Demon also did not understand why it had turned out this way. What he once understood became incomprehensible because of Zheng-Fu's actions today. Not only was Zheng-Fu's strength extremely stable, but it was also comparable to those that had undergone hundreds of years of cultivation. Besides, it also seemed like Zheng-Fu's energy would increase more and more during the battle.

"Your skills are all fierce. If you all choose to use them from the beginning of the battle, I probably won't be able to resist. But because you used them at a time when you were already exhausted. That's how I was able to block them all," Zheng-Fu smiled slightly and explained to the three of them to relieve their frustration.

Huh!

"Even though just now we can't do anything to you. Don't forget that there are three of us. And you also lose a lot of energy. So, prepare for the battle from now on!"

Gulp!

Hah!?

The middle-aged demon finished speaking and took out a black pill, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it quickly before closing his eyes and waiting for the pill to take effect.

Yaaaaak!!!

Booooooom!!!

After a few breaths, the energy that this demon had lost was recovered and increased even more than before.

"A temporary energy-boosting pill?" Zheng-Fu could immediately determine what type of divine pill the demon had taken. And he also knew what the side effects were.

"We have to devote all we have as well. Otherwise, it might be us who will die today!" Another demon also thought of using this kind of medicine. Before they embarked on this mission, a mysterious person on the team had given them these pills to use in times of need or emergency, like now.

"But if we use that medicine, then we'll suffer its side effects. After this, we won't be able to advance to the Deity Stage!" The eldest demon hesitated to use this pill. Because he did not want to be stuck at the Half-deity stage forever. He still dreamed of becoming a formidable Deity stage identity and entered the Deity Land that everyone dreams of.

"But if we don't use it, we can't go there either. Also, I heard that if we use it within the specified time, its side effects will not be very severe. And there is still hope for us to advance to the Deity stage!" The second elder demon realized something, so he persuaded the first elder demon.

Yaaaaak!!!

Whoosh!!!

Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!

But before the other two demons could swallow this kind of divine pill, the middle-aged demon was already charging toward Zheng-Fu crazily and fiercely. He did not care if the two elder demons would join the fight anymore. He sensed the enormous strength and energy he received from the black medicine. He did not hesitate and rushed towards Zheng-Fu without any regard. He thought that he alone could take out Zheng-Fu, who had already lost so much energy.

Sigh!

"Even though you have more energy, your consciousness has diminished. And when you're low on consciousness, no matter how much energy you have, it's useless." Zheng-Fu was not worried about this demon's attack at all. Although the attacks were more aggressive and faster, the demons did not have the same pattern of attacks as before. His attacks were easy to dodge and could also weaken his strength.

Of course, the two elder demons saw what was happening. They turned to look at each other worriedly. Because as time passed, the middle-aged demon became more and more crazy and insane. It looked as if he was no longer the same person, but a brainless demon that only had energy.

"I think I won't take that pill. Because I don't want to be like him," the first elder demon immediately decided that no matter how dire the situation was, he knew that he could still survive. He would not do something stupid like that and die from the side effects of the medicine.

"Sigh! We must die today, right? I never thought we would die like this. The two of us really shouldn't have taken this job," the second elder demon felt very sad and regretful for taking the job. If they had refused the job from the beginning, they would still have had a chance to advance to the Deity Stage. Even if it took another hundred years of cultivation.

[Troop Destruction Great Sword Skill]

Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!

The middle-aged demon continued to attack. He was unrelenting as he furiously swung his sword at Zheng-Fu. The only thing he could think about was to hit Zheng-Fu as hard and violently as possible. Therefore, the surrounding area formed a vast hole whenever he swung the great sword.

For three reasons, the two elder demons stood still and did not enter to help the middle-aged demon. The first was that there was no room for them to take action. Second, they did not know if the middle-aged demon would also attack them. And the third point was, would the three of them still be able to fight together? Therefore, the two of them took this opportunity to restore energy for a bit.

Another half shichen passed...

Yaaaaak!!!

Augh!!!

"The side effects of the divine pill have started to worsen! It must be about time, right?"

After another half shichen had passed, the middle-aged demon's energy began to get lower and lower. Before he coughed up a big mouthful of blood. That made Zheng-Fu know that it was time for the energy-boosting medicine's effect to wear off, and the side effects were about to begin.

"By the way, don't the two of you think about helping him?" Zheng-Fu turned to look at the two elder demons who were concentrating on restoring their energy.

"Actually, neither of us has any relationship with him. We just happened to work together. Whether he dies or survives is of no concern to us. Besides, we would rather die like this than die like that!" a demon said with a serious expression without any pretension or guile.

Hah!

"So, do you guys want to die or to live?" Zheng-Fu asked with a slight smile. He had noticed from the beginning that the two elder demons were not related to the middle-aged demon. Because in the joint attack, the middle-aged demon's actions were not in line with the other two.

"Of course, we want to survive. But we know that you definitely won't let us go," the younger elder demon said without concealment.

"We understand. We won't blame you for…"

"What if I said that I would let the two of you live?"

Hah!?

"What do you say? You said you were going to let us both go?" The other elder demon also accepted his fate. He had already thought that Zheng-Fu would not let him go. But before he could finish speaking, Zheng-Fu interrupted.

"Yes, I'll let you both go. I have benefited from you as well, so I'll let you go. But I have one condition. If you can accept it, you guys will be spared. But if you refuse, you both will die here!" Zheng-Fu said seriously as well.

Ah!

"What condition!?" the two elder demons shouted in unison in a mixture of excitement and surprise.
