It's been 12 hours since they set off.

"Ahead is the Dark Abyss. I feel two rough and savage auras have been following us... they're starting to speed up now; they'll catch up in no time."

Although Dongbo Cheng wasn't a Spiritual Talent, his Spirit was like a finely honed Heart Sword! He could intuitively sense the intense hostility of formidable enemies.

"It seems the worst two out of ten chances I considered have materialized, there are two Demon Generals."

Bai Pu said. He further speculated that Ghost Leather and another Demon General must have reached some agreement, perhaps to split the Black Emperor's True Blood equally.

If it weren't a Demon General level threat, it wouldn't be worthy of Dongbo Cheng's grave concern.

Other Demon Generals unaware of the Black Emperor's True Blood wouldn't follow from the shadows but would quickly catch up.

Only Ghost Leather and such Demon Generals, fearing other demons might seize the Black Emperor's True Blood, would pursue in stealth.

Now, near the infamous "Dark Abyss," in this isolated and demon-free area, Ghost Leather and his associate can speed up with confidence!

"Indeed, it's likely two Demon Generals. With my current combat power, plus yours and two Demon Slaves, we are certainly outmatched."

Dongbo Cheng took a breath and said, "If they use hit-and-run tactics, like killing one Demon Slave now and another later... after clipping our wings, we wouldn't stand a chance."

Bai Pu smiled and said, "Actually, there's another way."

Dongbo Cheng slowly glanced over, "Oh?"

...

Dark Abyss, beside the mountain ridge.

Bai Pu and his group advanced steadily. Looking to the left, they saw a gigantic rift shrouded in black mist beside the ridge, resembling the gaping maw of a prehistoric beast.

The Demon Spider Lady trembled with fear, wary of accidentally falling in. Even Dongbo Cheng distanced himself from the black rift, moving horizontally about seventy to eighty meters away.

Bai Pu and the Hundred-eyed Demon, however, felt no fear.

Bai Pu knew that the Dark Abyss was the entrance to the "Demon Abyss" Border Land; falling in was akin to using a forced exit tool, with the first stop being the Demon Abyss Border Land.

The Hundred-eyed Demon, being a Mutant, had lost the emotion of fear.

"Careful, look ahead." Dongbo Cheng suddenly halted.

Bai Pu looked up to see a towering demonic silhouette standing atop a hill ahead.

This demonic figure was about two meters tall, its body lacking skin like a skinned human, revealing dark red muscles and pale tendons.

In its hands, it held two curved hooked sabers.

Bai Pu had a sense of déjà vu. The figure resembled the Level 4 Enhanced Elite monster—Blood Shaver he encountered in the Yellow Pool Cave!

It could be described as an enlarged enhanced version of Blood Shaver.

Blood Shaver was like a skinned frog, while this figure was akin to a skinned human.

"It's the Demon General Ghost Leather."

Dongbo Cheng glanced at Bai Pu, then chuckled bitterly, "What's the deep grudge this guy has with me? To pursue me across two Demon General territories."

Bai Pu said, "It might actually be after me, since I invaded his lair."

Dongbo Cheng replied plainly, "Even if it's to pursue you, you attacked his lair to save me. Besides, my body is an irresistible allure for powerful Demon Ghosts! No need to discuss further; let's follow the plan to deal with him!"

Dongbo Cheng had already deduced that Bai Pu stole some of Ghost Leather's possessions, which prompted the relentless pursuit by Ghost Leather.

Of course, Dongbo Cheng was speaking the truth. Demon Ghosts needed to possess formidable human martial artist bodies to become powerful Demons.

Although Ghost Leather already had a human martial artist's body, it couldn't compare to Dongbo Cheng's body.

With just a human's body, Dongbo Cheng had surpassed the abilities of Demon General Ghost Leather! If Ghost Leather could possess Dongbo Cheng's body, his power would significantly increase.

At this moment, Ghost Leather on the hill charged swiftly, unleashing a piercing scream!

Layers of transparent sound waves turned the air into rippling rings.

The rocks and soil, under the impact of this howl, rumbled as if a minor landslide!

Bai Pu suddenly sidestepped, spreading his arms wide, blocking in front of Dongbo Cheng and the two Demon Slaves!

He recognized the skill as an enhanced version of Blood Shaver's Vibrating Sound Break.

A powerful, area-of-effect control skill!

A loud boom erupted beside Bai Pu's ears, golden stars burst in his vision, and he coughed up blood! His body, like a reef struck by a raging tide, stepped back rapidly, one step, two steps, three steps!

Each step left a deep imprint on the ground.

These three steps were unconscious; Bai Pu was knocked out by Vibrating Sound Break, entering a four-second stun with no resistance!

Bai Pu's Strong Strike Armor briefly flashed with the shadow of a Golden Giant Bull Demon, surrounded by virtual blood-colored chains, tightly binding it.

The Golden Giant Bull Demon made a motion of a skyward roar, breaking half of the chains!

This was the Evil Qi, an armor skill for decoupling control.

Unfortunately, the enhanced Vibrating Sound Break by Demon General Ghost Leather had such high control priority that it surpassed Evil Qi's decoupling capabilities!

Thus, Evil Qi could only partially mitigate the control duration, reducing the stun from four seconds to 2.5 seconds.

At this time, Demon General Ghost Leather had already closed in on Bai Pu! The curved hooked saber flashed, aimed directly at Bai Pu's neck.

Bai Pu remained unruffled.

Because he knew Dongbo Cheng was behind him.

He had taken the critical control attack for Dongbo Cheng, and Dongbo Cheng wouldn't let him down!

Clang!

Amidst the resonating metallic clang, an ordinary sword parried the wide blade of the curved hooked saber, lifting it over Bai Pu's head!

Dongbo Cheng darted forward like a flying wild goose, leaping over Bai Pu, his sword tip directed at Ghost Leather's throat!

Ghost Leather shrieked, retreating quickly.

For a Demon General with rapid self-healing, a stab to the throat was a trivial injury, but Dongbo Cheng's sword was different!

The tip of Dongbo Cheng's sword trembled slightly. This tremor wasn't random but followed a graceful arc, aligning with some natural law.

A constant gentle breeze surrounded his sword tip.

Ghost Leather knew that if the tip pierced his throat, the gentle breeze would transform into fierce Sword Qi, tearing through his neck and possibly beheading him.

Ghost Leather retreated a step, briefly powered up, and immediately unleashed his signature skill:

Demon Blade Chaos Slash!

The two curved hooked sabers emitted a terrifying howl, and dozens of frenzied blade shadows nearly enveloped Dongbo Cheng!

Ghost Leather knew his strengths.

In a contest of skills, he couldn't match Dongbo Cheng, but in a power struggle, even uninjured, Dongbo Cheng might not be his equal!

Moreover, Dongbo Cheng was both wounded and fatigued.

Just then, with a "snap," a thread of spider silk shot from the left, sticking to Dongbo Cheng's flank! The silk retracted, drawing Dongbo Cheng to the left.
