Through a talisman, he issued commands. The other party wanted to resist, but a force of control acted on her soul. When there was no response, a stabbing pain like a needle prick was felt instantly.
A sharp scream echoed, and the little cat finally rolled over in anger.
"Expose your belly,"
Shen Wang continued to command. He was now forcibly ordering the cat to obey, ensuring it would follow his lead when taken out.
After a quarter of an hour, the little cat was panting heavily, looking dispirited, and had no choice but to obey Shen Wang.
Only then did Shen Wang hold the little cat and put it in his arms, saying, "Senior Danqing, I shall take my leave first."
"Yes, if you have any needs, feel free to come over here. As long as you are within a hundred miles, I can lead you in directly."
Danqing nodded.
"Alright."
Shen Wang clasped his fists in salute, gathered his mana, and with a thought, a light gate appeared before him.
In the future, he could control his access to the cave mansion himself, and he stepped directly into it.
With a shift in space, he instantly found himself above a solidified lava field.
His mana diluted into true essence, and Shen Wang lightly descended, glancing around, seeing no one.
This place was some distance from the original entrance, and other demons and human race cultivators didn't emerge simultaneously. He scanned the surroundings with his mind and flew in a certain direction.
He hadn't flown far when several demon wolves blocked his path. Shen Wang paid them little mind and continued forward.
The demon wolves hovered nearby for a moment before continuing their pursuit.
Their speed was swift, leaving trails of afterimages in the air.
Most demon beasts and demon birds have sharp fangs and claws, as well as speed advantages.
Even ordinary cats and dogs are faster than regular humans, let alone wolves known for their prowess in hunting over a thousand miles.
Hence, these demon beasts are generally faster than cultivators of the same rank.
The demon wolves in front were mostly little demons, yet not slower than Shen Wang's forward pace.
After a moment of pursuit, the lead wolf let out a sharp howl and inevitably launched an attack.
"Courting death!"
Seeing a demon wolf pounce, Shen Wang impatiently flicked his finger. A sharp beam flew out, pierced the fastest wolf's head with a puff sound.
Under the impact, the demon wolf flew backward, fell to the ground, howled a couple of times, and died.
Puff puff puff!
Strolling leisurely, Shen Wang directly killed the approaching demon wolves with sharp sword qi imbued with sword intent.
The pursuing demon wolves showed apprehension, keeping a slight distance, yet not halting their chase.
"It seems to leave this mountain range will still take some effort."
Seeing the relentless demon beasts, Shen Wang knew they were unwilling to give up this piece of fat meat.
He had to remain low-key, so he didn't kill them all.
As long as they didn't get too close, he couldn't be bothered to do more.
Ahead, the sounds of combat and beastly roars suddenly reached him. Shen Wang lightly tapped the ground and sprang onto a tree, stepping on the leaves, quickly approaching the source of the sound.
Without sword flight, he only maneuvered through the forest, while the demon wolves behind weaved through the woods, making swooshing sounds as they soared through the air.
Up ahead, trees appeared broken and toppled, with pits and pockmarks, burn marks of fire and frost, or cut marks, as well as demon beast corpses.
Moving further, several human race cultivators were besieged by over a hundred demon beasts, seemingly on the verge of being overwhelmed. However, from time to time, a silver crescent would fly out, slaying many demon beasts and easing the pressure.
"Let's join forces with you guys."
Seeing this, Shen Wang took out a new Black Death Blade, injected pure true essence into it, and the surrounding evil qi suddenly gathered towards him.
Clang clang!
With the blade resonating, the sharp blade instantly glowed, bursting with blinding brilliance.
Black Tiger Descending Mountain.
The evil qi gathered on the blade, emanating a powerful aura, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, unstoppable.
Shen Wang slashed towards the demon beast horde, and a massive hundred-meter-long blade qi appeared, sweeping up a large wave of air, resounding with booming sounds, as if a colossal object was falling.
The demon beasts besieging the human race cultivators were enveloped by overwhelming evil qi, sensing the sharp sword intent, their bodies trembled, and they rigidly turned their heads, seeing the enormous blade qi descending.
Boom!
A deafening sound tore through the air, splitting the land open. Under the blade qi, weaker little demons were directly reduced to blood mist by the powerful force, while stronger great demons were torn apart.
Shen Wang's slash directly carved a path through the demon beast horde. At the end of the blade qi, he saw his old acquaintance Silver Moon and three other unfamiliar cultivators, likely from other sects.
The four were quite surprised, not expecting someone to come at this time, alleviating a considerable amount of pressure for them.
Seeing it was Shen Wang, Silver Moon immediately showed a look of surprise and said, "Come over quickly, let's shake off these beasts together."
Shen Wang had already turned into an afterimage, passing through the channel he carved and appearing before Silver Moon, smiling, "Aren't you surprised to see me appear?"
"Quit joking, even with one more of you, we can't necessarily shake off these guys."
Silver Moon restrained her smile and said seriously.
"After coming out, you were targeted by these demon beasts?"
Shen Wang asked, glancing at the other three—a Golden Core, two Foundation Establishment cultivators. The Golden Core was a sword cultivator, bristling with sharpness, likely from the Celestial Sword Sect.
"Yes, this is their territory. When we went in, many demon beasts gathered here, especially after the entrance closed, the number of demon beasts gathered here increased significantly."
Silver Moon explained, "Moreover, we didn't come out together, although it's random near the exit, many people were besieged and killed by demon beasts."
As they spoke, the demon beasts that Shen Wang had ambushed from behind, breaking their encirclement, regrouped and angrily eyed Shen Wang.
"Another one here to die. Little ones, put in more effort, and soon you can feast on their flesh!"
A yellow fox demon king shouted from among the demon beast horde, encouraging the numerous demon beasts.
"It's tough for us to break through now. We either need to join up with others or figure out a way to kill the leader. Without a demon king leading, these beasts would be in chaos."
Silver Moon proposed a plan.
"Alright, I'll coordinate with you." Shen Wang had no objections. He approached these people intending to mingle into a safe area to successfully leave this vicinity.
"That fox is quite cunning. You should have contacted us earlier to coordinate a sneak attack on it directly,"
The sword-wielding cultivator lamented.
"This is Li Zhibin, a fellow from the Celestial Sword Sect, who joined me not long ago. The other two are from the Pill Alliance and Lingxi Sect."
Silver Moon introduced, "This is Shen Wang; he can handle an ordinary demon king."
Upon hearing that Shen Wang could handle an ordinary demon king, the other three turned their heads towards him, thinking of that previous slash, nodding slightly in acknowledgment of his strength.
At this point, the demon beast horde launched another attack. The five of them displayed their divine techniques, fighting against the large group of demon beasts while retreating, moving towards the outside of the mountain range.
Here, there were still several hundred miles to leave the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range. Without demon beast attacks, it would take half an hour to fly out.
Now, facing so many demon beasts, not to mention the consumption of mana, even with boundless mana, it would take a few days.
Shen Wang could see that Silver Moon and the others' cultivation was significantly depleted, and his gaze fell on the yellow fox demon king, hiding within the demon beast horde, being cautious and not engaging directly.
He noticed a blood mark on its tail, and some fur had fallen out, likely from a recent attempt by Silver Moon and the others to capture the king first.
He casually asked, "Have you called for reinforcements?"
"Yes, others either haven't come out or are like us, besieged by demon beasts, now trying to gather,"
Silver Moon gasped, "And external reinforcements won't arrive for a while."
"Seems we can't rely on others."
Shen Wang's gaze locked onto the cowering yellow fox demon king, "I've heard foxes often become demons through contact with humans. Why haven't you transformed into a human form?"
"What's the good in being human? There are too many restraints. How can it compare to the freedom in this mountain range, where I only need to claim a mountain as king to act as I please?"
The yellow fox demon king sneered, "If you know what's good for you, leave your treasures behind and send two people over for us to eat, to satisfy our cravings. We might let you leave then."
