Chapter 180: Chapter 182: I Want to Keep a Survivor

The Demon World Commander roared incessantly as he was pressed and beaten by an old man who looked disheveled, suffering not only physical injuries but also tremendous psychological trauma.

"You get the hell away from me." The Demon World Commander felt like he was going insane, never having imagined that one day he would be pummeled so viciously.

But roaring was utterly futile. In this moment, the crazed old man was like the War God himself, his fists raining down mercilessly on the Commander’s head, causing him to howl in pain.

The crowd on the city walls watched in shock. What exactly was happening before their eyes? Just moments ago, a young man who barely seemed noteworthy had managed to injure the Demon World Commander, and now a deranged old man was doing the same. The world had surely gone mad.

Zheng Ming watched the reinvigorated crazed old man, his face dripping with cold sweat. To have offended such an old man who didn’t even regard a Demon Clan member of Martial Saint Level at all—Zheng Ming felt lucky to be alive, marveling at his own great fortune.

"Die, die, die, all of you just die for me." The crazed old man was getting a kick out of it. Crying and laughing loudly, his fists grew heavier with each shout.

"Boss, fight back, quick!" The Demon Clan’s captain members who had fallen to the side yelled out to the Demon World Commander.

They were now starting to worry about their own safety. If the Demon World Commander were defeated, then none of them gathered here would escape disaster.

They were aware that because of their murderous actions in the Mortal World, even dying a thousand times wouldn’t suffice to atone for their sins. Now all their hopes were placed solely on the Demon World Commander.

The Demon World Commander heard the cheering of his subordinates and gave a wry smile in his heart, thinking did you really believe I didn’t want to fight back? This old man was even more terrifying than the young man earlier. No matter what, he couldn’t dodge those punches to his face, and it almost seemed as though he was serving up his face for the old man to hit.

If only he had known, he wouldn’t have come here. He thought to himself, had he not confidently volunteered to come to this city, he wouldn’t have run into such a frightening foe.

"Bark! Why is it so lively outside?" The Reincarnation Pearl had appeared on Mu Can’s shoulder at some unknown time.

Looking around at the Demon Clan members scattered on the ground, and then at the crazed old man punching the Demon World Commander, it showed an eager to join in the fight look.

"Bark! I want to join the fight too." Mu Can was about to stop him when he found that the Reincarnation Pearl had already transformed into a beam of light, striking the Demon World Commander hard, sending him staggering and falling to the ground.

"What kind of hidden weapon is this? You guys are really unsporting. My strength is already suppressed, and yet you dare to use hidden weapons against me." The Commander, after being knocked to the ground, saw the Reincarnation Pearl that attacked him and shouted aloud, his voice filled with grievance.

At this moment, the Demon World Commander’s face no longer bore the confident expression from before, as if he was certain to subdue Mu Can and others, giving off the vibe as if the city was already his for the taking.

The crowd simply couldn’t believe that this Demon Clan member, with a battered and swollen face, scruffy and disheveled, was the same Commander who had led an army of thirty thousand from the Demon World.

"I will beat you to death, dead man, I will beat you to death." The crazed old man shouted, executing another set of palm strikes, sending the Demon World Commander flying away harshly, then flying back, fluttering through the air like a butterfly dancing through flowers.

"Boss, pull yourself together quickly!" The Demon Lords on site shouted out one after another, trying to cheer on the Demon World Commander.

But cheering was to no avail.

The Demon World Commander had already been fiercely suppressed by the old madman. There wasn’t the slightest chance to fight back.

And not to mention the sneak attack from the Reincarnation Pearl just a moment ago, that alone shattered several ribs in the Demon World Commander’s chest.

The Demon World Commander grew increasingly anxious in his heart, judging by the way things were going, his death was certain. At this point, the only option was to use his own Escape Technique. Though for him, using this Escape Technique was equivalent to sacrificing half his life. However, losing half a life was slightly better than losing it all.

"Goodbye." As the old madman fiercely swung out his palm, the Demon World Commander looked back at the entire demonic army with a complex expression and a glint of reluctance in his eyes. He knew that with his departure like this, the Demon Clan soldiers left behind would certainly face the danger of being completely wiped out.

The Demon World Commander narrowed his eyes, finally determined.

With a thud, the Escape Technique was instantly activated, and the Demon World Commander disappeared into thin air, transforming into a streak of blood light. The old madman’s punch thus hit nothing but air.

Purple Cloud, who had been observing the battle situation, lightly waved his sleeve. His sleeve brought up a huge wind. Tiny Wind Blades emerged in the wind, seemingly breaking the Void, forcibly revealing someone who was hiding within it, precisely the Demon World Commander who had just fled.

"Thinking of running away in front of me?" Purple Cloud had almost recovered all his strength at this moment.

If he, an Immortal Venerable, allowed a Martial Saint to escape from his hands, then where would Purple Cloud put his face?

The Demon World Commander fell from the sky. Seeing that his opponent had returned, the old madman immediately shouted excitedly and rushed towards the Demon World Commander.

He went up and started punching and kicking, tears almost falling from the Demon World Commander’s eyes, as the punches on his body were simply too painful. It was unknown what material the old man’s fists were made of, but hitting his body was like being hammered, truly terrifying.

Although the Demon Clan had investigated the strength of the Mortal World before coming here, they hadn’t anticipated how formidable the masters of the Mortal World could be.

Originally, the Demon World Commander still had the strength to struggle, but as the old madman’s fists continued to swing, he was soon taking more breaths in than he could breathe out.

"Who is this old man? A Martial Saint hidden in the Mortal World?" Golden Armor General asked. If the Mortal World had more of such hidden masters, then the chances of victory in this war—an existential threat to the Mortal World—would greatly increase.

Today, the General had already seen that if it weren’t for Mu Can and this masterful old man, the city he was defending would surely be breached beyond doubt, even with the enhancement of an Array, no one could stop the Demon World Commander.

"Don’t kill him," Mu Can hurriedly spoke to stop the old madman. This Commander must know a lot about the Demon World, and what Mu Can needed most now was information.

The old madman heard Mu Can’s words and tilted his head to look at him.

Mu Can thought his words would be useless, but to his surprise, the old madman unexpectedly stopped his assault, throwing the Demon World Commander, who was as good as a dead dog, at the foot of the logs.

"Woof! Even a mosquito leg is meat; keep it with me," said the Reincarnation Pearl as it flew back, landing on Mu Can’s shoulder.
