Chen Hao and the other three immediately looked towards the kitchen entrance, only to see a middle-aged man with dark skin and a bushy bearded face. His build was robust, and in his hands, he held two butcher's knives still dripping with blood, the very image of a butcher.

"Is there something about our store that dissatisfies you?" inquired the man, who claimed to be the owner of the establishment, as he approached them.

His footsteps were extremely heavy, and with each step, he could faintly feel the floor trembling beneath him.

In fact, this man was a Bear Demon, and the blood on his butcher's knives was human blood!

As the man walked behind Xie Xiaofeng, Chen Hao's eyes suddenly shone, and he cried out, "Watch out!"

"Whoosh!" Like a swift gust of wind, Chen Hao moved to the man's right side, pouring all his inner strength into his hand to grab the man's hand before the knife could pierce Xie Xiaofeng's head.

"Ah!" the man exclaimed in surprise, looking at Chen Hao. "How can you be so strong!"

A hint of arrogance appeared on Chen Hao's face as his lips curled into a smirk.

"The strength can be even greater, you know!" Chen Hao said with a light laugh. At the same time, a surge of Nether Light's force flowed from his left eye to his left leg.

With a "bang!" Chen Hao kicked out with his left leg, sending the stout man flying until his swollen body became embedded in the wall and came to a stop.

Upon witnessing this, a nearby Chicken Demon was left utterly dumbfounded.

A gentle purple light shot out from Chen Hao's left eye, hitting the man and revealing his true form as a black wild Bear Demon.

Then, Chen Hao directed the purple Nether Light towards the Chicken Demon and several tables of customers, exposing all the demons in their true forms.

"So you are an Onmyoji!" exclaimed the Chicken Demon.

"Oh-co-oh, oh-co-oh!" Xie Xiaofeng mimicked the sound of a chicken clucking, his face bearing a mocking smile.

The Chicken Demon, incensed by embarrassment, suddenly transformed its flat beak into a long, sharp one and pecked towards Xie Xiaofeng's head.

"Die, chicken!" Xie Xiaofeng scoffed, quickly channeling Five Elements Magic into his right palm and turning it into a ball of fire, scorching the oncoming beak.

"Oh-co-oh, oh-co-oh!" After its beak was seared by the intense heat of the fire, the Chicken Demon let out a shrill and piercing call, flapping its wings incessantly. With a loud "whirring" sound, it suddenly beat its wings and flew towards the kitchen. It crashed directly into the wall and then dipped its smoking beak into a water tank.

"Ah!" Tang Jing's scream erupted!

Because the kitchen wall was pushed down, the horrifying sight inside was laid bare for all to see—two naked corpses, one male and one female. The man's head had been chopped off and tossed aside like trash in a waste bin; his blood flowed like water from an unscrewed tap. The man's belly had been peeled open, revealing the organs and intestines exposed under the light.

Faced with this scene, Ye Yuqiao couldn't help but walk behind Chen Hao, clutching his arm, and sighed, "How disgusting!"

Chen Hao turned to look at Ye Yuqiao, nodded, and said with a wry smile, "Indeed! But don't be afraid; with your boyfriend here, just hold on to your boyfriend and you'll be fine!"

Xie Xiaofeng went over to Tang Jing's side, raised his hand to block her view from the gruesome sight, and said, "Why are you so enraptured by such a disgusting image!"

Tang Jing, recovering from the shock, covered her mouth and retched, then nervously clung to Xie Xiaofeng's arm.

"Do you humans also find this disgusting?" the Bear Demon asked. Then he gave a loud shout and extricated his bulky body from the wall.

"Don't humans treat our kind like this every day? You should be accustomed to such sights!" the Bear Demon said. At the same time, the butcher's knife in his hand suddenly transformed into a long sword.

"That's not the same!" Chen Hao said coldly.

"What's the difference?"

"We slaughter you, we've never slaughtered our own kind!" Chen Hao said.

"So you're saying that humans are superior? That we should just be slaughtered by you?"

"Yes!" Chen Hao nodded, "Humans are the rulers of this planet, sitting atop the food chain, naturally we are a cut above you! If it were you pigs that were the rulers, no doubt you would do the same as us. It's survival of the fittest in this cruel world; the weak are meant to be dominated!"

Upon hearing Chen Hao's words, Ye Yuqiao's heart trembled, feeling that the Chen Hao before her was somewhat ruthless!

"It seems you don't even have a hint of remorse!" the Bear Demon glared angrily and said, "Then there's no need for me to show you any mercy!"

With that, the Pig Demon brandished its knife and charged at Chen Hao, while the nearby Fox Demon, Rabbit Demon, and Bear Demon also attacked the four of them.

"Fire Magic, Earth Fire!" Xie Xiaofeng cast a spell.

However, to the group's surprise, no flames erupted from the ground!

"Metal Magic, Rain of Arrows!" Xie Xiaofeng continued to cast spells.

Just the same, no iron arrowheads sprang from the ground either.

"What's going on?" Xie Xiaofeng exclaimed.

"Hmph! You show no respect for this land and the forests, yet you still expect the land and the forests to grant you anything?" the Pig Demon scolded, and its knife cleaved towards Chen Hao's face.

In a blink, Chen Hao retreated two meters with Ye Yuqiao in his arms, evading the oncoming blade.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" At this moment, three nearby Rabbit Demons holding sharp claws lunged at the two.

"Sword Qi!" Chen Hao said coldly, and immediately two Sword Qi flew out from within him, leaving countless fine sword wounds on the three Rabbit Demons before them, fresh red blood oozing from these wounds.

Immediately after, the three Rabbit Demons that leaped into the air crashed to the ground, dead as a doornail!

On the other side, as Bear Demons and Fox Demons approached, Tang Jing pulled several Demon-Suppressing Talismans from her waist pack and threw them onto the bodies of the Demons, freezing them all in place.

"You dead pig, talk fast! Whose shop is this exactly? Otherwise, I'll pull those two teeth from your face!"

At that moment, the Wild Mountain Pig suddenly dropped its long knife, then got down on all fours, its two thick hind legs kicked rapidly backwards, stirring up the yellow earth and dust inside the shop.

"Is it planning to charge at us?" Chen Hao asked Yuqiao, who was behind him, his expression filled with vigilance.

"I'm not a pig, how would I know!" Ye Yuqiao responded unhappily, then raised her hand and fiercely slapped Chen Hao's arm, "I heard your thoughts, you deliberately asked that question just so you could mock me as a pig later! Naughty!"

A Demon-Suppressing Talisman flew out from Tang Jing's hand, striking directly at the Pig Demon.

"Roar!" The Pig Demon let out a thunderous roar, deflecting the incoming Demon-Suppressing Talisman.

Afterward, the Pig Demon raised its head, glaring furiously at Chen Hao.

Just as Chen Hao thought the Pig Demon would rush towards him, it suddenly leaped on the spot, then with its powerful hind legs, it struck the ground fiercely.

The earth quaked, the ground cracked and caved in, and several tree roots burrowed out from below…
