Xiao Fei looked at the demons ahead, roughly counting them. He found that over twenty Nascent Soul powerhouses had been deployed at once, with the rest being Golden Core cultivators.
The demons truly thought too highly of themselves, deploying such formidable forces for him alone, even exceeding the scale of the previous attack on the Lu Sect.
However, Xiao Fei was unaware that he alone had inflicted immense damage upon the demon race.
With every person he healed, the birth of one less demon occurred. Coupled with his collection of demon corpses, it led to the Eastern Continent's humans hunting demons on a large scale.
Though Xiao Fei did not engage the demons directly on the front lines, he had indirectly killed hundreds of thousands of them. If not eliminated promptly, more demons would die because of him in the future.
In just this brief moment, a peerlessly beautiful figure soared from the center of Meteor Island, flying towards Xiao Fei.
Simultaneously, the entire Meteor Island erupted as if a pot had boiled over, with five more Nascent Soul auras rising.
Dozens of Golden Core cultivators roared and followed suit, creating a momentum no weaker than that of over a hundred demons.
"Kill him!"
To prevent any further complications, the Black Scaled Demon, holding a spiked club, was the first to charge at Xiao Fei.
This Black Scaled Demon held a significant position among the demons, with strength comparable to the mid-stage Nascent Soul ancestor Shangguan.
Currently filled with killing intent, his spiked club had not yet arrived, but the air current it generated had already overturned a grand hall behind Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei did not retreat. He raised the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade into the air and simultaneously revealed a talisman in his hand.
It was his Spirit Calming Talisman, which he had nurtured for decades without using. The moment it was deployed, it shone brilliantly.
Just as the Black Scaled Demon's spiked club was less than ten feet away, about to crush his head,
Xiao Fei suddenly sent the talisman flying from his hand, landing it on the Black Scaled Demon's forehead.
Then, the Black Scaled Demon, holding his spiked club, froze before Xiao Fei, utterly immobile.
The Spirit Calming Talisman consumed a significant amount of energy when used on such a powerful individual. Xiao Fei dared not waste time. Almost simultaneously, the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade pierced into the Black Scaled Demon's mouth.
The Black Scaled Demon was covered in hard scales, making it impossible for ordinary magical treasures to penetrate.
Conveniently, the demon's mouth was open, so Xiao Fei directly thrust the "Bloodthirsty" evil blade down its throat, giving it a different life experience before death.
As the Bloodthirsty evil blade entered the Black Scaled Demon's throat, its body rapidly shriveled, quickly turning into a piece of aged jerky.
Xiao Fei flicked his hand, collecting the Black Scaled Demon's corpse.
This powerful demon, who had pursued Xiao Fei several times, ultimately could not escape the cycle of fate and was finally slain by Xiao Fei.
By this time, the other demons had rushed forward, and coincidentally, Huang Feifei, leading the Lu Sect members, had also arrived.
The green-eyed man, originally pulling his son, prepared to seize the opportunity to slip away. The demons were prepared, and he saw no need to risk his own and his son's lives.
He would only seek to avenge fellow Daoist Xiao after achieving Nascent Soul himself, though he would have to find a new partner.
However, upon witnessing Xiao Fei effortlessly kill the Black Scaled Demon in a single strike, he immediately changed his mind.
He had heard of the formidable strength of this Black Scaled Demon and its formidable reputation in the cultivation world over the years.
He never expected it to be instantly killed by Xiao Fei, so decisively and cleanly, without even being able to utter a single threat before dying.
Seeing this, the green-eyed man immediately changed his decision, telling his son to retreat to the rear while he himself, rubbing his fists, stood beside Xiao Fei.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, do not panic. Your affairs are my affairs. I will surely fight to the death with you."
"Good! Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your assistance. I shall remember it dearly!"
Xiao Fei sincerely thanked the green-eyed man. The "Bloodthirsty" evil blade was once again raised into the air, thrusting forward.
Having just absorbed the Black Scaled Demon, "Bloodthirsty" now had streaks of blood-red light flowing along its blade, appearing sinister and eerie, yet radiating even greater power.
Before Xiao Fei could even activate it, "Bloodthirsty" flew towards a demon ahead, who was preparing to unleash defensive measures.
At this very moment, a Spirit Calming talisman suddenly appeared, imprinting itself on the demon's head. The demon then lost all ability to resist, allowing "Bloodthirsty" to strike it.
Concurrently, the others had also entered the fray, engaging the demons in combat.
While Xiao Fei's guard team was not exceptionally strong, at most at the Golden Core stage,
they now formed a formation, and with their mutual cooperation, their strength was no less than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Each member of the guard team had been distributed many of the red, bursting spirit fruits refined by Xiao Fei. They charged into the demon ranks, directly throwing their red, bursting spirit fruits at the Golden Core demons.
The red, bursting spirit fruits were convenient and simple to use, with great power. They might not be very effective against Nascent Soul cultivators, but they were extremely useful against Golden Core cultivators.
When the guard members threw the red, bursting spirit fruits at the Golden Core demons, it was almost a guaranteed kill.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator dared to approach, throwing two of them would force the Nascent Soul cultivator to retreat ten paces.
Thus, the guard team, wielding the bursting spirit fruits, had become the bane of Golden Core demons, invincible wherever they went.
Initially, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators on Meteor Island was less than half that of the demons. Furthermore, demons of the same cultivation level were stronger, meaning the Nascent Soul stage was at a significant disadvantage.
However, as soon as Xiao Fei made his move, he successfully eliminated two of the strongest Nascent Soul demons, then effortlessly killed another with the same method. When he turned his attention to the fourth demon powerhouse,
to his surprise, this powerhouse became a bit timid. He turned and fled into the crowd, avoiding direct confrontation with Xiao Fei, though he continued to hurl threats verbally.
The battlefield situation became somewhat peculiar. These demons had launched a major offensive precisely to kill Xiao Fei.
But now, wherever Xiao Fei went, the demon powerhouses actively dodged, pretending not to see him. Even if you stood right in front of me, I simply wouldn't see you.
Because he had slain the leading Black Scaled Demon in his first strike, and then easily killed three Nascent Soul cultivators,
the demon powerhouses had completely lost the courage to face Xiao Fei head-on. Everyone's life was precious; they would not offer theirs.
At this moment, a demon with a single horn on its head accidentally got too close to Xiao Fei. Pretending not to see him was no longer feasible.
The horned demon was also an intelligent being. He let out a loud roar.
"What lowly creature dares to hide in the shadows and ambush!"
Then, this horned demon lunged towards the golden-furred great rat behind him.
The golden-furred great rat never expected to be singled out, having hidden in the rear and having no intention of participating in the battle.
Forced to respond hastily, the golden-furred rat could find no outlet for its grievances.
The current battlefield situation saw Meteor Island still at a slight disadvantage. However, as long as Xiao Fei could find opportunities to kill a few more Nascent Soul demons, the tide should turn.
Just then, a dense ghostly mist rose from the battlefield, from which countless blood threads extended...
