"Idiot, my specialty is swordsmanship, not sorcery!
Qing Feng is sword intent, not flatulence."
After collecting the corpse of the Sea Gull Demon King, who was transforming into a great sea gull, Yang Hong lightly explained to the demon king whose Nascent Soul was about to escape his head.
Then, he also put the head into the scale space.
"A battle with no real danger, but it's been a good improvement for me.
Let's continue to find trouble with the next batch of demons."
Yang Hong merely circulated the [Advanced Body Tempering Technique] once, and the wounds that had just been inflicted by the green feathered flying sword were quickly healed.
This battle was a complete victory.
Yang Hong, with his cultivation at the fourth-tier Classic Realm, had completely defeated a sixth-tier Nascent Soul early stage demon king.
"Right, those 100 feathers seem to have been refined into great magic artifacts, I can't waste them."
Yang Hong remembered the feathers that had injured him earlier and quickly retrieved them with his divine sense.
"Not bad, 100 feathers were indeed refined, and they are even top-grade fourth-tier magic artifacts.
Getting 100 fourth-tier magic artifacts at once is quite a windfall."
After checking, he immediately put these 100 feathers into his storage ring,
And then used a water遁 (Water Escape) to leave again.
There were still many demons to kill, and he had to hurry.
If they escaped, it would be a huge loss.
These were nourishment for expanding the scale space.
Yang Hong continued to use water遁 to flash to various locations, continuously killing groups of fourth and fifth-tier demons with a single punch.
As the battle continued, his "Brave and Fearless Fist Intent" became more and more fluid. With one punch, he could basically obliterate 101 demons.
When encountering sixth-tier demon kings, it became a bit troublesome.
Unless it was a wind-attribute demon king, where he could use the Qing Feng Sword Intent to borrow the power of the opponent's domain to sneak attack and quickly end the battle.
Otherwise, a serious punch with the added Brave and Fearless Fist Intent could at most injure a sixth-tier demon king, and the subsequent fight would require a cup of tea to entangle.
Sometimes, the demon king would even escape.
After all, it was a gap of two major realms, and no matter how powerful Yang Hong was, he couldn't instantly kill such an enemy.
Therefore, Yang Hong's situation was quickly discovered by the attacking demon kings.
On that large ship, a group of demon kings discussed with grim expressions.
"Red Shark Demon King, you are the organizer of this offensive campaign, what do you suggest we do?"
A man with a hooked nose asked the two-zhang-tall burly man with a muffled voice.
"Are you sure that human is truly in the Golden Core realm?"
"Confirmed. I saw his battle from afar. He hasn't condensed his magical power yet; he's still using human true essence.
However, I risked a confrontation with him and found that this human has comprehended the power of intent, making him very difficult to deal with."
"The power of intent is indeed troublesome.
Iron Eagle Demon King, have you found out what attribute this human's intent is?"
The Red Shark Demon King also frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"This human is incredibly talented. He possesses two types of intent: one is pure wind-attribute intent, and the other is a very profound and strange intent, similar to earth attribute.
He can seamlessly switch between both intents."
The Iron Eagle Demon King replied in detail, even using his comprehension of spiritual resonance to briefly simulate Yang Hong's Qing Feng Sword Intent and Brave and Fearless Fist Intent.
Advancing from the fourth-tier Golden Core realm to the fifth-tier Nascent Soul realm required comprehending at least one spiritual resonance and integrating that wisp of spiritual resonance into the soul to break the core and form the infant.
Therefore, those in the fifth-tier Nascent Soul realm had at least a glimpse of spiritual resonance.
By the sixth tier, the application of spiritual resonance was already very mature.
Using spiritual resonance to simulate intent was one of the most basic applications.
Although it could only simulate a fraction of the intent, it could still represent the basic attribute of the intent.
"The lightness and swiftness of wind, combined with the solidity and depth of earth, such a combination is indeed very troublesome."
The demon kings, after experiencing the Iron Eagle Demon King's simulation, all frowned.
Initially, they would have dismissed it with disdain, as Yang Hong was only at the fourth-tier Golden Core realm. However, in just two hours, Yang Hong had already killed seven demon kings and injured three.
Among them was a powerful late-stage sixth-tier great demon king, whom even the Red Shark Demon King was not confident of killing.
"This human is truly a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius. Perhaps only a seventh-tier Demon Lord can kill him."
"Yes, why don't we retreat first and find a Demon Lord expert to help?"
Some timid demon kings were already considering a strategic retreat.
"We demon kings are fast, we can all escape.
The great demons can run faster and should be able to escape for the most part, but our demon beast citizens will likely suffer."
Immediately, a demon raised an objection. The demon army assembled for the conquest of Guangyou Island was too vast, and a hasty retreat would result in immense losses.
"Red Shark King, why don't we set a trap, trap him, and even kill him?"
A fox demon king proposed.
"Little fox, what is your plan?"
The Red Shark King had the same idea. He had long coveted Guangyou Island and did not want to withdraw so dejectedly.
"Red Shark King, we can do this~ this~ and then this."
As the fox demon king narrated, the other demon kings began to cheer.
"Good~ I think this will work."
"Yes, that's it."
"Hahaha~ this will definitely kill this human insect."
The Red Shark King and the other demon kings applauded, "Excellent, let's proceed according to the little fox's plan."
Yang Hong, who had been rampaging on the sea, suddenly noticed that the water dragons on the sea surface had disappeared, and groups of demons were retreating.
"Hmm~ are they scared away by me already?"
Yang Hong muttered in confusion, then spread his divine sense to search for the enemy's traces.
With his divine sense, he could see that all the fourth and fifth-tier demons were fleeing in a disheveled manner towards the northwest.
Behind the demons, third and second-tier demon beasts followed closely, protecting them.
The lowest-tier demon beasts at the rear did not retreat but charged towards Guangyou Island's defensive array in a swarm.
"Is this a 'cut-off tail to survive' tactic?"
"But that's not right! There are still over two hundred demon kings left!"
Yang Hong's divine sense continued to extend, and he soon spotted the figures of the demon kings beneath the sea surface.
They were in the seabed along the demons' retreat route, and they seemed to have already set up an array. The positions of the demon kings also followed a certain array pattern.
"Heh heh~ a sneak attack?
I am the ancestor of sneak attacks."
Yang Hong suddenly smirked wickedly, took out a storage bag from his storage ring, made some preparations, and then performed a water遁.
When he reappeared, he had already stepped into the center of the demon kings' trap.
"I heard you were planning to ambush me?"
Yang Hong asked with a smile, under the surprised gazes of 241 demon kings.
"Quick! Activate the Dragon Locking Array!"
The Red Shark King was the first to react, loudly reminding the other demon kings while channeling his magic power to activate the [Dragon Locking Array].
"Heh heh~ trying to trap me with an array? You think you're worthy?"
Saying this, Yang Hong dropped an opened storage bag and disappeared.
"Rumble ~~~"
A series of explosions followed.
The [Dragon Locking Array], which had not been fully activated, was blown to pieces, and almost all the demon kings were injured.
It was a bag of Guangyou Gourd seeds, ten thousand in number, of third-tier quality, which he had traded for on Guangyou Island earlier.
Yang Hong had just performed two divine infusions to replenish his true essence and activated all these seeds.
"If I have bombs, why would I be foolish enough to fight you head-on?"
Yang Hong smiled and began a new round of demon capturing.
The Qing Feng Sword Intent wrapped around his body, increasing his speed to the limit.
Upon approaching a demon king, he would slash at their heads with his sword.
Those he could kill, he would collect their corpses. Those he couldn't kill, he would capture their bodies and send them into the scale space with a burst of divine sense.
If he couldn't grab one, he would let go and move on to the next, fleeing immediately.
"Retreat ~ quick retreat ~"
