"Hahaha, are you telling jokes? You foolish humans, since you seek death, we can only send you to hell to repent," a devil roared furiously.
Hearing the devil's words, the knights glared at him in anger. Regardless of whether they were devils or not, in the eyes of humans, devils were villains. They also wanted to eliminate these devils and avenge their fallen comrades, but they couldn't find them at the moment!
At this moment, Zhou Yan stepped forward and looked at the devil. "Hey, are you the leader of these devils?"
"Who are you?" the devil asked.
"You wicked devils, you all deserve to die. Now I'll give you a chance: submit to me, and I'll spare your lives!" Zhou Yan declared.
"Hahaha... Hahaha, what a joke! You humans are truly foolish!" The devil burst into loud laughter upon hearing Zhou Yan's words.
"Hmph, if you don't agree, you can await destruction. We humans are not to be trifled with!" Zhou Yan snorted coldly.
"Not to be trifled with? Hahaha, you weaklings are nothing but trash in the eyes of us devils! Where has your army gone? Do you think these cripples can fight us devils? Don't waste your efforts!" the devil continued.
"Hmph, even if we die, we'll drag you down with us!" Zhou Yan said coldly.
"Then let's try!" The devil became angry when Zhou Yan actually threatened to drag him down. Although they were wicked devils, their status was noble. How could they be insulted like this by these humans? This was simply a disgrace!
...
Seeing that the devil did not retreat, Zhou Yan brandished his Heaven Severing Sword. A gust of wind blew, and the devil felt danger. He quickly dodged, but Zhou Yan's attack struck beside him, kicking up dust. Zhou Yan then used his fastest speed, teleporting beside the devil and bringing down his sword. The devil's arm was severed by Zhou Yan!
"Ah~!" The devil cried out in pain.
"Hmph, so you know pain now? If you kneel and surrender now, I might spare your lives!" Zhou Yan said with a cold snort.
"Impossible. Kill me if you dare. You humans are always despicable and shameless," the devil said stubbornly, clutching the wound of his severed arm.
"Do you think I dare not kill you?" Zhou Yan became enraged when the devil dared to speak to him like that. He swung his Heaven Severing Sword, and the devil's head rolled to the ground.
"Ah!" The other devils stared at Zhou Yan in shock after seeing him kill their leader. How could this young human be so powerful? Their leader was instantly killed by him. Seeing their leader dead, the devils no longer dared to move rashly. They stood there, staring at Zhou Yan and his men. They were now terrified, but they knew they were in grave danger!
"If you give up resisting now, you might survive. Otherwise, you will die!" The knights said to the surrounding devils.
"Hmph, you want us to give up resisting? Impossible! We would rather die than surrender to you!" a devil stated resolutely.
"Then go to hell! Brothers, attack!" Zhou Yan shouted to the crowd around him.
"Yes!" The soldiers also drew their weapons and charged towards the devils.
Zhou Yan stood aside, quietly observing these devils. He wanted to see how strong they were. His current mission was to protect the soldiers' safety. As for other matters, he was not worried. As long as they were not overwhelmingly powerful devils, he was not afraid.
Seeing their superior officer take action, the soldiers also charged forward, engaging the devils. The two sides clashed, and the soldiers' combat power was clearly much stronger than the devils'. Although the soldiers were somewhat clumsy in build, their movements were agile. The devils, despite their large size and immense strength, were clearly no match for them in terms of speed. Soon, the soldiers dealt with them.
Seeing that all the devils had been killed by them, the soldiers said to Zhou Yan, "Mr. Qin, leave this place to us. You all should retreat quickly, and we'll cover you!"
"En, alright. Be careful, and don't linger in battle!" Zhou Yan warned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. You should leave quickly!" After the knights finished speaking, they began to organize the remaining villagers to flee deeper into the cave.
At this moment, Zhou Yan led his men to continue following the villagers deeper into the cave. The devils did not stop them. They knew that if they pursued, it would lead to a massacre. After several rounds of fighting with the devils, the knights finally wiped them out. At this point, Zhou Yan saw that the depths of the cave were a sea of fire, and these flames were burning from within the cave.
"What's going on? Could this be the Land of Lava?" Zhou Yan thought in surprise.
"Who are you? How did you enter this village?" a female devil suddenly asked.
"Oh? So there's a female devil here. No wonder the soldiers chose to guard this place; it turns out there's a female devil here," Zhou Yan replied to her question.
"Hmph, you humans are indeed despicable and shameless. You sent so many troops to eliminate us and even want to capture us as slaves?" the female devil cursed at Zhou Yan.
"Hmph, we humans are the masters of this world. Everything in this world belongs to us humans. We humans are gods in this world, and you heretics deserve to die!" Zhou Yan roared loudly.
"Heh heh, you humans are so hypocritical. These devils were born from our bodies. You humans turned us into devils, and we, in turn, killed you humans. This is balance. Your human race is destined to perish!" the female devil said.
"Hahaha, is this what you demons think? Our human race is destined to perish? What do you demons think? You slaughter humans indiscriminately like this, aren't you afraid of punishment?" Zhou Yan said, looking at these devils.
"Hmph, this world will be ours sooner or later. We will eventually rule the entire world," the female devil shouted loudly when she saw that Zhou Yan did not believe them.
