"Moreover, even if it's this leader's Power of Swallowing, it's not something you can crack. No need to waste words with you, go on your journey now!"

With these words, the demon leader's face hardened, and the pull from his palm suddenly intensified. The vortex in the center of his palm even left his hand, acting like a black hole and absorbing the energy of the Divine Armor Talisman as if it were a sweeping gust of wind.

In a split second, the energy of the Divine Armor Talisman was fully absorbed and abruptly dissipated.

"Blatant boasting and yet that's all you have!"

The demon leader looked cold, its sharp, fiery claw extending towards Xiao Mu's face just as the Divine Armor Talisman's energy broke apart.

With the protection of the Power of Swallowing, it acted without any inhibitions, unconcerned about any tactics Xiao Mu might have.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Mu's gaze remained calm, showing no panic even though the Divine Armor Talisman was broken.

"I did say your Power of Swallowing is only that much."

"Well, since you insisted on sending me to my death, I don't need to probe you any further. Thunder Eye, come forth!"

As he spoke, he swiftly waved his palm towards the demon leader and gently pushed forward.

A golden eye appeared in his palm.

The golden eye opened suddenly, and a Golden Light shot out immediately.

"What... what is this?"

Seeing the Golden Eye in Xiao Mu's palm, the demon leader was startled.

This golden eye, it seemed to have a force that restrained it, causing it to tremble.

"Not good!"

Seeing the Golden Light shooting towards itself, the demon leader chose to evade for the first time.

Feeling a massive threat, it fled without hesitation, its figure flickering and quickly moving dozens of meters away.

"If you had chosen to run earlier, maybe you would have had a chance. Now it's too late. Did you think I was just wasting words with you earlier? Thunder Eye, come forth!"

Xiao Mu revealed a smile again, pointing a finger towards the sky with his left hand.

Overhead, a gigantic silver eye appeared above the demon leader's head.

This silver eye was a trap Xiao Mu had set up earlier and only activated it now.

Crack!

The instant the silver eye appeared, it formed numerous lightning in mid-air.

The silver lightning spread out and turned into a pillar of light, piercing through the demon from the top and shooting out from its feet, pinning it to the ground, utterly immobile.

The demon leader's face changed instantly. In panic, it asked, "What is this? How is this possible? My Power of Swallowing has been sealed, Variant from the human world, what did you do to me? How can you seal my Power of Swallowing?"

As soon as it was pinned by the pillar of light, it activated its Power of Swallowing, intending to absorb the energy in the pillar of light. However, it was futile. The pillar of light had strong restraining power against its Power of Swallowing, so much so that it couldn't even use this power.

Xiao Mu had no intention of explaining to the demon leader and instead pushed forward with his right hand.

Woohoo!

A Tai Chi Thunder Gang Diagram in black and white shot out from his palm. Spinning at high speed, it sliced towards the demon leader, who was pinned down by the Thunder Eye.

"No, spare me! Don't kill me!"

In its panic, the demon leader begged.

Xiao Mu was unmoved, controlling the Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram, and directly sliced towards the demon leader's neck, beheading it.

"Ah~"

The demon leader let out a miserable scream just before its death. Its head rolled on the ground, its face filled with resentment.

Energy +25.

The moment Xiao Mu received the notification, he turned to look at Stone Soul and Wood Spirit.

Stone Soul and Wood Spirit did not have a means to restrain the demon's Power of Swallowing. They had not fought with the two demons for long, but they were already in grave danger.

Both of them released their crucial attacks continuously, but the energy they unleashed was all swallowed by the demon.

The demons, having absorbed Stone Soul and Wood Spirit's attacks, were rapidly gaining strength. However, Stone Soul and Wood Spirit were constantly weakened. The tide of the battle was quickly turning in the demon's favor.

"Variants from the human world, you are nothing more than great supplements for us. Give up your resistance, perhaps we will consider giving you an easy death."

The two demons began to gloat as they saw their victory over Stone Soul and Wood Spirit was imminent.

However, they quickly realized something was wrong. A glance in the direction of Xiao Mu and the demon leader caused their faces to change rapidly.

The leader was actually killed?

What exactly happened?

What happened in such a short time that the leader was killed?

The demons' shocked faces quickly turned into horror, and they promptly abandoned Stone Soul and Wood Spirit. They split into two, left and right, and fled in terror.

"You chase the one on the left, entangle it and wait for me."

He growled at Stone Soul and Wood Spirit, giving them a command.

At the same time, Xiao Mu himself dashed to pursue the demon on the right. He extended his right hand, pointing at the demon's head in the air.

Crack!

The silver-white Thunder Eye reappeared, releasing a silver light column that pinned the demon once again.

"Ah~"

The demon screamed in terror, struggling with all its might to break free from the control of the Thunder Eye, but realized it couldn't.

The light from the Thunder Eye, containing a peculiar power, bound the demon tightly, making it impossible to shake free.

Xiao Mu pushed with his palm and the black and white Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram appeared again, beheading the demon.

Power +20.

At Xiao Mu's command, Stone Soul and Wood Spirit simultaneously launched their basic attacks. Flying Stones and Leaf Darts filled the sky, swiftly passed the demon, and blocking its path, obstructing its escape.

These attacks had no effect on the demon, but they could block it, buying some time.

"Ah~"

As the demon roared, it charged towards the Flying Stones and Leaf Darts, harnessing the Power of Swallowing to physically withstand the attack from the Stone Soul and Wood Spirit.

It had been frightened by Xiao Mu's swift and ruthless killing of its companion and didn't dare to linger for a moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Flying Stones and Leaf Darts struck the demon's body, erupting into clouds of black smoke, but not causing any harm to the demon.

However, the powerful impact of the Flying Stones and Leaf Darts successfully slowed the demon's escape.

Controlling the Fire Dragon Vehicle, Xiao Mu charged with great speed, once again pointing his finger at the space above the demon's head.

Crack!

Silver lightning flickered as the Thunder Eye reappeared, once again pinning this demon.

"Ah~"

Knowing escape was impossible, the demon uttered a desperate, mournful wail.

"Xiao Mu, stop!"

Xiao's Perfected and other Beast Race members quickly rushed over, trying to prevent Xiao Mu from killing the demon.

The moment Xiao Mu killed the demon leader, they anxiously sprung from their hiding place, trying to snatch the demon from Xiao Mu.

A hint of a sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Mu's mouth, there was still a distance between Xiao's Perfected and him.

Although Xiao's Perfected tried to stop him, he didn't intend to stop his hand. He cast the Taichi Thunder Gang Diagram once again, beheading the last demon.

Power +20.

"Xiao Mu, you...you actually dared to disobey the command of the team leader!"

Zhen Xiao was the first to rush over, with rage sparking in his eyes.

Xiao Mu had ignored his command and killed the last demon, which made him feel humiliated.

Xiao Mu sneered, utterly ignoring Zhen Xiao and responded directly, "If I'm not mistaken, you personally agreed in advance that I could kill the demons. Are you going back on your word?"

Zhen Xiao was so choked by Xiao Mu's words that he almost gasped for breath, angrily said, "That was then, this is now. You clearly had the demon cornered just now, why couldn't you wait for me to arrive before killing it?"

Xiao Mu said coldly, "That's because my binding method doesn't last long. If I don't kill immediately, the demon would struggle free and escape. I wonder if this explanation satisfies you, team leader?"

"You~"

Zhen Xiao was almost choked with anger.

Clearly, Xiao Mu's explanation was just a brush-off.

Binding doesn't last long, who is he trying to fool?

His Thunder Eye can even bind a mid-stage Fourth Realm demon, yet it supposedly couldn't hold an early stage Fourth Realm demon for long. Who'd believe that?

But, regardless of whether he believed it or not, Xiao Mu insisted on this explanation, leaving him no way to refute.

He huffed, saying angrily, "Next time we lure a demon, we won't need you. I'll arrange for someone else."

"Shi Weiyuan, you'll lure the demon next time."

"Boss Xiao, I...I'm up?"

The just-arrived Shi Weiyuan went pale with fright.

Attracting demons was extremely dangerous, and Boss Xiao was going to assign this task to him?

Just because Xiao Mu had killed a demon didn't mean he could do it too. If rescue didn't come in time, he might well be killed on the spot, slain by the demon.
