"My lord, are we not going to act?"
Li You-tang stood behind Liao Xiu-er, frowning.
"Are you a match for demons?" Liao Xiu-er retorted.
Li You-tang shook his head, but immediately said, "Even if I am not a match, as a ghost soldier under the Venerable God, upon seeing demons enter the village, I should slay demons and eliminate evil for the villagers!"
The other three probationary ghost soldiers, transformed from deceased 'Rank B Believers,' nodded repeatedly.
In life, they were all villagers of Four Seas Village and held deep affection for the village.
Seeing the demons charging now, they naturally wished to kill them.
"Remember."
"We are ghost soldiers; our duty is to collect souls and handle matters of the underworld for the Venerable God."
"Humans and ghosts follow different paths; resisting demons is not our responsibility."
"Besides, we can't even defeat them, what's the point of rushing in?"
Liao Xiu-er shook her head, her voice laced with a hint of helplessness.
Of course—
She had no worries whatsoever.
The Venerable God was in the "Divine Realm."
A few demons were nothing; the Venerable God could wipe them out with a wave of his hand!
A fervent look appeared in her eyes.
… …
Inside the "Divine Realm."
Li Yue looked at the three demons, his expression indifferent.
"Just twelve more strands of divine power, and I can advance to the official Ninth Rank…"
"You three demons have arrived just in time…"
"Selling your corpses will give me over a thousand strands of divine power."
He murmured softly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
After all—
That was a divine rank advancement, reaching the official Ninth Rank!
For a deity, the most important thing was to raise their divine rank.
A divine rank increase—
His strength would undoubtedly surge dramatically.
"A Ninth Rank land God, his strength is equivalent to a 'Yin-Yang Realm' grandmaster at the Fourth Order limit in this world."
"Then—"
"What about the official Ninth Rank?"
He looked down at the three demons that had already entered the range of Four Seas Village, which was within his "territory."
Then—
He gently raised his hand.
Against demons that had entered his "territory" and were merely at the Second Order limit,
He didn't even need to waste divine power.
The "territory" was the land covered by the divine laws he controlled!
… …
"Hahaha—!"
"You humans are just two-legged sheep, born to be food for us demons!"
"Obediently become food; that is your fate!"
"And that demon who is pretending to be a god, get out here for me to eat!"
The bear demon grinned hideously.
His scarlet eyes looked down at the humans he could already see, and saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth.
He discovered—
The humans here were even fatter than the humans in the Land of Demons!
"Humans!"
"Eat them! Eat them all!"
The dog demon, standing upright, dripped even more saliva, staring at the Four Seas Village villagers with green eyes, wishing he could devour the entire village of humans in one bite.
Moreover, he discovered—
There were so many human martial artists in this village!
Chewy human martial artists who greatly replenished qi and blood!
Only the snow-white giant horse remained aloof; although it was a demon, it never ate humans.
After all, its master when it was young was a human.
And its master treated it very well; after it became a demon, it vowed never to eat humans.
Coming here.
It was only under orders to kill the demon pretending to be a deity here.
Of course—
It didn't eat humans, but it wouldn't help humans either.
It didn't dare to help humans; once it helped humans and was discovered, it would definitely be killed immediately.
But just then—
It suddenly felt an unimaginable terrifying power surging from all directions.
In the face of this power.
Its demonic power, which had already reached the Second Order limit, was instantly defeated and could not resist at all!
At this moment.
It seemed to see a supreme deity standing above the firmament, looking down at it indifferently.
Divine light was vast.
Divine might was like a tide.
It was solidified in place by the surging terrifying power, unable to move at all.
Moreover, under this terrifying power, its demonic energy was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, and most of it was annihilated in the blink of an eye!
Fear appeared in its eyes.
Deity!
There really was a deity here!!
Those humans were not talking nonsense; there was a legendary deity protecting this place!
It's over!
It's over for me!
It had cultivated for more than a hundred years to reach its current level, and it was about to die!
At this moment.
Countless scenes flashed through its mind.
But the most scenes were the scenes of being with its master when it was young.
Those were the most wonderful and memorable times in its life.
"What's going on!!"
"I… I can't move!"
"Deity! I see a deity looking down at me!"
"It's over!"
"There really is a deity here!!"
The bear demon and dog demon were also solidified, like grasshoppers in amber, with infinite fear in their hearts.
They never imagined before.
That there would really be a deity!
They saw it!
Supreme and majestic!
That terrifying power was completely the nemesis of their demonic power.
Moreover, the other party's strength far exceeded their imagination!
The next moment—
They vaguely seemed to see thunder spreading in the indifferent eyes of the supreme deity.
They couldn't hear any sound—
It seemed like just an illusion.
But in their minds, earth-shattering thunder roared!
Their powerful demon souls were instantly reduced to ashes under the thunder!
Two huge demon corpses crashed down.
"I… I'm not dead?"
The snow-white giant horse looked at the corpses of the bear demon and dog demon in astonishment. It was not killed by that deity?
"You have never eaten humans and have no sins, which is rare."
"Submit to this god, and I can spare you from death."
An indifferent and majestic voice sounded in its mind.
"Little demon is willing to submit to the Venerable God!"
The snow-white giant horse did not hesitate at all. It found that it could move again and immediately knelt down.
At the same time—
Demonic energy surged on its huge demon body, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a woman in a snow-white dress, prostrating on the ground.
Demons at the Second Order level could already transform into human form.
It was just that humans were weak in this world, and most demons disdained to transform into human form.
Whoosh—
A powerful force swept over.
The horse demon, transformed into a woman, flew into the air and landed in front of the Land God Temple, still prostrating on the ground.
The other two huge demon bodies disappeared and were taken into the "Divine Realm" by Li Yue.
"Thank the Venerable God for slaying demons and eliminating evil, and protecting Four Seas Village!"
Li You-ming glanced at the prostrating horse demon, then shouted loudly and bowed towards the Land God Temple.
"Thank the Venerable God for slaying demons and eliminating evil, and protecting Four Seas Village!"
One by one, the martial artists of Four Seas Village shouted excitedly and piously, and knelt down towards the Land God Temple.
"Thank the Venerable God for slaying demons and eliminating evil, and protecting Four Seas Village!"
All the villagers of Four Seas Village shouted in unison, excitedly and agitatedly, becoming more and more pious.
They saw the divine might of the Venerable God again!
Powerful and terrifying demons.
Under the divine might of the Venerable God, they were vulnerable!
With the Venerable God protecting their Four Seas Village—
They would no longer be threatened by demons!
Many people immediately went back to their houses to take out incense, lit it, and respectfully bowed towards the Land God Temple.
The fragrance of incense wafted, creating countless wisps of green smoke that drifted towards the Land God Temple, making the Land God Temple shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.
