"Make sure to save some of that human's blood for us, and try not to kill the little princess. The Lord would like to have some fun with her before chewing on her meat and drinking her blood." Another demon said.
"Yuan… follow me…" Lan Yingying suddenly mumbled to Yuan.
Once Yuan nodded his head, Lan Yingying turned around and began running away. Seeing this, Yuan also turned around and followed her.
"Where the hell do you think you're running off to when you were the ones who came here first, you little shits?!"
The demon standing in the front immediately began chasing after Yuan and Lan Yingying.
Grandma Lan didn't even bother to block this demon and allowed it to chase after them.
When the other two demons saw this, their eyebrows raised.
Grandma Lan smiled and said, "They don't need my help. What's more, I already have my hands full with you little demons…"
After saying that, she transformed into a large serpent with green scales that resembled jade.
"What are you going to do?"
"Even if we cannot defeat you, you won't be able to kill us either."
The two demons chuckled after seeing Grandma Lan transform.
Meanwhile, in the skies, the Demon Lord spoke as it hovered before Grandpa Lan, "Do you really believe that you'll be able to defeat us because you attacked us before we attacked you? Because we're not prepared?"
And it continued, "Did you already forget what happened last time you tried to invade us by surprise? You lost your son and his partner. This time, you'll lose your wife, your granddaughter, and your own life!"
After a moment of silence, Grandpa Lan spoke, "I remember very well what happened. Their death was unfortunate, but we'd managed to reduce your kind by more than half. This time… we're going to kill all of you and clean up the Mystic Realm."
The smile on the Demon Lord's face immediately turned upside down after hearing Grandpa Lan's words, and it spoke in a grim voice, "Let me see you try!"
Boom!
The Demon Lord exploded with a massive aura, and it rushed at Grandpa Lan.
"Sacred Fire!"
Grandpa Lan opened his mouth and spat out fire flames at the Demon Lord.
"Scatter!"
The Demon Lord used its bare hands to punch the white flames, causing it to scatter all over the place and making it rain small fireballs all over the place.
Thus, the Demon Lord began fighting Grandpa Lan in the skies.
Meanwhile, Lan Yingying and Yuan continued to run away until they were many miles away from the others.
"How long do you plan on running for?! Did you come all the way here just to abandon those old people?!" The demon shouted at them as it chased after them.
A few more minutes later, Lan Yingying finally stopped running and turned around.
"We can stop now, Yuan."
The demon also came to a sudden halt and stared at them with narrowed eyes, wondering what they're planning.
'Yuan, I'm going to distract it as planned. Strike it with your sealing technique when you see the chance,' Lan Yingying said to him using Divine Sense.
Yuan nodded his head.
After taking a deep breath, Lan Yingying turned into her beast form and immediately rushed at the demon.
"Oh? You're going to attack me by yourself? Did you bring that human just to spectate?" The demon was surprised when Yuan stayed behind whilst Lan Yingying attacked it alone.
Pap!
Lan Yingying used her tail like a whip, attacking the demon with it and cracking the air on impact.
The demon didn't even bother to avoid the attack and merely used its arms to block it.
Boom!
The demon was sent flying off into the distance from the impact, but it didn't sustain any injuries in the end.
"Haha! Come at me! Entertain me for a bit before I kill that human!"
The demon and Lan Yingying began attacking each other, quickly turning the scene into a mess.
"Little princess, your parents were a treat. My body still trembles when I recall how delicious their meat tasted. I wonder how you'll taste…" The demon licked its lips, treating its fight with Lan Yingying as a joke, almost like it was playing around with her.
"Shut up!" Lan Yingying's attacks immediately grew more aggressive, clearly agitated by the demon's words.
"Ahaha! Are you angry, little princess?! Do you want to kill me?! Unfortunately, you don't have the power to kill me! And in just a moment, you'll witness those two old bastards enter our stomachs!"
The demon continued to provoke Lan Yingying.
A few minutes later, once the demon was fully absorbed in fighting Lan Yingying, it forgot about Yuan's seemingly insignificant presence.
"Sacred Fire!" Lan Yingying opened her mouth and released a torrent of white flames at the demon, who didn't even bother to dodge it.
"You don't learn, do you?! You won't be able to injure me with such weak flames, much less kill me!"
The demon patted the white flames off its body as though it was mere dust.
"I've spent enough time messing with you. I would love to eat you right here and now, but alas, the Demon Lord would kill me if I do, so I'll have to endure not it and not kill you—"
The demon suddenly stopped talking when it felt something pierce its body, causing it to look down.
"Huh?"
The demon raised its eyebrows when it saw a huge sword piercing its body from the back.
It turned around to look at the masked figure standing behind it with an annoyed expression on its face, and it spoke in a calm voice, "What the fuck do you think you're doing, human? You should've run away when you had the chance. I had even forgotten about you since your presence is akin to an ant."
However, Yuan didn't say anything and merely pulled the Empyrean Overlord out of the demon's body and took a few steps back.
"Hmph! What a joke. As if such a toy could injure me!" The demon looked at Yuan with clear disdain on its face.
"Are you sure about that?" Yuan spoke as he pointed to the demon's body.
"What?"
The demon looked down, and to its surprise, the hole in its body wasn't regenerating at all! In fact, it was even turning into stone!
"W-What the heck is happening?! What the fuck did you do to me just now, human?!" The demon roared at Yuan with veins all over its face.
Yuan shrugged and said, "It was nothing much— just a demon sealing technique."
"A what?!" The demon was shocked after hearing Yuan's words.
Once it realized the situation, it roared in anger, "Damn you, human! You must be from the Demon Sealing Clan! What is someone like you doing here?!"
Unlike the demon Yuan previously sealed, this demon was still able to move and release its aura after being struck by the Demon Sealing Strike, most likely because it was much more powerful than the previous demon.
However, the petrifying effect was still spreading, and it appeared to be spreading much quicker than before. After all, Yuan was also much stronger than before.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! I curse you, human! I curse you, Demon Sealing Clan—"
Alas, the demon wasn't able to finish its last sentence before being sealed by the Demon Sealing Strike.
"Yuan, let's leave this demon alone for now so we can help my grandparents. We can finish it off afterward." Lan Yingying said to him.
And she continued, "This way, we won't alert the other demons. Once sealed, they won't be able to move for at least a few hundred years."
Yuan nodded, and they proceeded to return to Grandma Lan's side.
