Somewhere in the extraterritorial battlefield, the eerie silence was restored.
After the demons left, the blood-soaked peach blossoms suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a group of Black Cliff soldiers who had suffered great fear, shock, and confusion in an extremely short period of time.
The great fear came from the demons' prematurely merging.
A complete demon was not something they could deal with.
This was the only reason why each of them had a desolate-grade Dao soldier and the Forcing Demon Clone to deal with it.
Furthermore, in the teachings of the old soldiers of Black Cliff, they had never heard of a case where the Devil Society disregarded the damage to their foundations and forcefully merged with one another.
The reason?
Arrogance.
The more powerful a person was, the more arrogant they were.
This was the instinct of all living beings.
Whether this arrogance was expressed through arrogance or calmness.
Therefore, as long as they saw the hundreds of quasi-emperors and emperors of the Second Black Cliff using various methods and schemes to fight against demons of the same realm, everyone would understand the demons' arrogance.
This kind of arrogance would definitely not make the demons choose to forcefully merge.
Why?
Because forcefully merging meant that the demons were afraid.
This was simply impossible. It was also something that Emperor Su and the others could not understand.
This was the reason why they were shocked.
If the demons were afraid, they would naturally be happy.
But after the happiness, they would have to face demons that knew fear.
And if the demons were afraid, would they still fight them according to the battle tactics perfected by the Black Cliff Army through countless years of battles and the lives of countless elites and mighty figures?
Following this line of thought, this was the reason why they were so confused.
"It's, it's just a coincidence …"
After being confused for a long time, Zhou Quan moved his dry throat and murmured softly in a hollow voice.
The soldiers woke up from their daze. They looked at Zhou Quan and forced themselves to nod.
They were forced to agree, not because of Zhou Quan's mighty might, but because they did not dare to imagine that this was not a coincidence.
"Yes, it must, it must be a coincidence …"
"Demons, although there are few of them, every one of them is a prodigy that we cannot imagine …"
"We are all born Daozu, but we can only fight a hundred against one. Why would we be afraid of such existences …"
…
Everyone was talking.
What they said involved everything they could think of.
All of these inferences, guesses, and established facts were used to prove the demons' strength and arrogance.
As he muttered to himself, the crowd slowly regained their senses. They seemed to be convinced that Zhou Quan's words were true.
Soon after, they thought of something else and looked at Prince Shu.
Son of Heaven Mi still had the same blank expression as before as he stared in the direction where the demons had left.
Zhou Quan's eyes flickered with uncertainty. After that, he exchanged glances with the other seven veterans. Finally, he let out a bitter sigh and walked towards Son of Heaven Mu.
"This matter was purely accidental. We do not blame you."
The other seven veterans also stepped forward.
"You've done enough."
"Everything was normal at the beginning, but no one expected that the demon would actually …"
"Don't be discouraged, there will be a next time!"
"To be honest, we didn't believe you before. But when you charged at the devil at that critical moment, we believed you!"
…
In the Outerealm Battlefield, the most worthless thing was life. Because no matter what kind of life it was, it was very easy to lose it.
However, it was also because of this that the most valuable thing was life.
When Son of Heaven Mu charged at the demon for the second time without any hesitation, he was prepared to use his life to give the eight of them an answer when the demon failed to complete his fusion and self-destructed due to his arrogance.
They were regretful that they did not succeed.
But at least their future was bright.
"Keep your spirits up. There will be a next time, and a time after that, until all nine of us are ranked as immortals!"
After patting Son of Heaven Mu's shoulder, the eight of them retreated and began to comfort their subordinates.
Son of Heaven Mu was still in a daze.
Similarly, he did not expect that the demon he encountered the second time would take an unusual path and give him a head-on blow.
This blow dealt a heavy blow to the courage he had mustered after much difficulty.
After all, not everyone had the courage to snatch credit, even if it was for a greater desire than military merit.
However, this bit of confusion quickly slipped away from his heart.
What replaced it was a completely different emotion.
"He, he can sense the demon?"
Using the treasure that was specially made to deal with the Evil Emperor's successor, he could sense that Xie Tian, who had followed the path he had left behind, was also running away from the Evil Emperor.
It was impossible to say that this was a coincidence.
However, if he was certain that the Evil Emperor's successor could sense the demon, he would be in even greater disbelief.
"I killed a demon and used the demon's killing intent to target me. I discovered the demon half a step earlier than Zhou Quan and the rest …"
Other than that, with the knowledge he had learned from the Sage Hall, he had no other means to sense the demon.
The reason was simple.
If there was really a way to sense the demon, the Nightmare Cliff would not have used the talent detection technique of the billions of Indefinite Map of the Universe to passively defend against the demon's invasion.
"Looks like it. Phew …"
Son of Heaven Mu exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and came back to his senses. However, his heart felt like it was being squeezed by a large hand. The pain caused by the tightening made him tremble.
This was because he knew very well that the successor of the Evil Emperor, who had the ability to sense the demon, would become an extremely terrifying enemy in the extraterritorial battlefield.
However, as he trembled, he could not help but feel a faint sense of mockery and excitement.
"Because he can sense the demon, the demon can also sense him …"
To him, this was necessary.
If the demon could not even do this, it would not have forced the Nightmare Cliff to use over a hundred soldiers to kill a demon of the same realm.
"This is fun …"
He believed that Xie Tian might not die from the demon's pursuit.
However, even if he did not die, he would be beaten into a sorry state by the demon.
Apart from this faint sense of mockery, there was also excitement.
"If I can obtain your ability to sense the demon …"
Thinking of this, Son of Heaven Mu's tightly clenched heart started to pound.
He did not need to think too much to know …
"This ability that can change the situation of the second division's extraterritorial battlefield will make me greatly valued by the higher-ups …"
After looking up at the sky, Son of Heaven Mu turned back. The expression on his face had already turned into one of guilt.
This guilt made the eight old soldiers even more satisfied with Son of Heaven Mu. They were so satisfied that they did not care about healing their injuries and surrounded Son of Heaven Mu again to enlighten him.
At the same time, the demon and Xie Tian continued to advance in the same direction.
The demon and human did not change their direction, but the distance between them was closing at an unimaginable speed to Xie Tian.
"Son of Heaven Mu has over a hundred people, and all of them are at the Divine Palace level. This demon should be comparable to a Divine Palace level Sage!"
However, even if the strongest Sage he had met was magnified by a hundred times, his speed could not reach this level!
