The demon leader stared at Zhou Yan, his eyes flashing with ferocity, but he didn't know how to retort.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Let's take him down first," another demon beside him said.
The demon leader nodded and raised the weapon in his hand, preparing to shoot at Zhou Yan. Unfortunately, as soon as he raised his weapon, it was shattered by a sword glow. Zhou Yan then stepped on the demon's head.
"Ah~~~ Who are you?" the demon leader asked in pain.
"Who I am is not important. You demons wanting to exterminate humanity is a pipe dream. I will make you pay," Zhou Yan threatened.
"Don't come any closer! Our great Satan will not let you go!" the demon leader roared, looking like a madman.
"Who are you?" the demon leader shouted.
"Who I am, you are not worthy to know. In short, I will stop you demons from ruling this world, and you must die!" Zhou Yan said coldly. With that, Zhou Yan lifted his leg and kicked towards the demon leader, hitting him directly in the stomach. The demon leader was sent flying hundreds of meters, crashing through several buildings before falling into the sea.
"Hmph, I told you long ago that we humans are not to be trifled with. You wouldn't believe me and insisted I act personally. Regretting it now?" Zhou Yan said.
"You, you actually killed him!" the demon leader beside him exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"I said, we humans are not afraid of you demons. Now you demons have finally tasted retribution," Zhou Yan declared arrogantly.
"No, no, no... You killed him, you will surely die, all of you humans will die!" the demon leader screamed.
"Bang!" The demon leader suddenly exploded, turning into a pile of dust that dispersed into the air.
"Hmph, we humans will not fear you demons. Prepare to be killed by us humans," Zhou Yan said, looking at the demon leader's remains.
"Let's go," Zhou Yan said to the three black-robed figures beside him. They nodded, and quickly left with Zhou Yan.
After they departed, the demon leader reverted to his original form, his face pale. It was evident that the previous demon leader had expended a tremendous amount of energy.
"Huff, huff!" Zhou Yan panted, saying, "I didn't expect it to be so smooth to deal with this demon leader."
"Benefactor, my name is Alva. We will forever remember your great kindness," the demon leader said emotionally.
"Alva, what is this magic circle of yours? Are you not demons?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Benefactor, you are not a demon?" the demon leader asked Zhou Yan curiously.
"Of course not. We are humans. I am the Emperor of Huaxia. We are messengers of justice. We humans absolutely will not allow anyone to insult us, even if you are noble demons. We humans will make you pay," Zhou Yan stated firmly.
"Humans? Are you really humans? But I don't feel any magical elements from you?" Alva asked, confused.
"Heh, you don't need to worry about that. We just want to tell you that we humans will eliminate you demons. Accept your fate," Zhou Yan said indifferently.
"Fine, since you want to play, we'll see it through to the end," the demon leader gritted his teeth. In his heart, he was already filled with fear. He had never imagined humans could be so powerful; he was no match for them.
"Don't push us, or it will be a fight to the death for all of us," another demon said.
"Heh, if we don't push you, will you stop attacking our people? I'm telling you, none of you will survive today," Zhou Yan sneered.
Subsequently, Zhou Yan launched a massacre against them. This time, Zhou Yan didn't use any special techniques, relying only on simple hand-to-hand combat to kill all the demons and collect their demon cores.
Zhou Yan knew that if these demons were not eliminated, humanity would suffer in the future, so he had to kill them now, otherwise, they would undoubtedly become humanity's greatest enemies.
After killing the demons, Zhou Yan immediately returned to his city. At this time, the entire human world was in chaos. The demons were rampaging through the human world, and people were already fleeing. It was unclear when these demons would attack again, and humanity would surely suffer, leading to widespread devastation.
Zhou Yan gathered his people and declared, "This world will usher in a new era. All the demons here will be eradicated. You will be the heroes of this world."
"What, this world is going to be destroyed?" a young warrior asked in surprise.
"Yes, I know this news might be sudden for you, but it is true. The protagonists of this world are humans. You are not ordinary people; you are guardians of humanity. We humans need your help, so please help us quickly clear out these demons. I hope humanity can live peacefully for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to come," Zhou Yan said, looking at them.
"These demons are not just a disaster for humans, but also for this world. Therefore, I hope you can help humanity resist the invasion of these demons, otherwise, I fear humanity will be annihilated," Zhou Yan continued.
"We will do our best," the people replied.
Hearing them say this, Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Good. We will stay here for a few months. During this time, I hope you will cultivate well."
"Okay," the people agreed.
"Then we take our leave," Zhou Yan said, and then he left with those warriors.
As Zhou Yan left the island, he noticed that the space around the island seemed to be sealed off.
"It seems I need to change my plans after returning this time," Zhou Yan thought to himself. At this moment, Zhou Yan and his group had returned to the beach. They saw the girls and children hiding on the beach. They were all terrified. Upon seeing Zhou Yan and the others return, they started crying. Zhou Yan quickly went over to comfort them.
After a while, the women's emotions stabilized slightly, and they asked, "Mr. Zhou Yan, what should we do now? Where should we go?"
"Yes, where should we go?" others echoed.
