It was only a moment, but the black-armored man at the peak of the third order had already reacted by suppressing the pain of bone fragmentation. His left hand also pulled out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed it into Ji Jiayu's left waist.

The dagger hadn't even touched Ji Jiayu when Ji Jiayu's skin felt a tingling sensation. He immediately gathered divine light particles under his skin, forming a double layer of protection with the texture of his sacred skin. The tingling sensation suddenly diminished greatly.

"Dang!" The dagger stabbed into Ji Jiayu's waist, and sparks flew, but it failed to penetrate the slightest bit.

Sensing the resistance coming from Ji Jiayu's waist, the black-armored man at the peak of the third order changed his expression drastically, and he felt incredible. He had some understanding of the Guangming Clan cultivators, and the sacred skin of a third-order priest did possess some defensive power, but it was definitely not to this extreme. It had to be known that his dagger was no ordinary dagger.

All kinds of thoughts swirled in his mind, and at the same time, Ji Jiayu had already swung his knife fiercely at him. Although Ji Jiayu was so ruthless for the first time, his eyes were firm, his hands were calm, and he didn't even tremble.

"Dang!"

The black blade slashed at the black-clad man's neck, colliding with the black armor, making a metallic sound, and sparks flew.

Although the black armor blocked the black blade's attack, the black-armored man didn't sigh in relief, but in terror. Ji Jiayu's blade was incredibly powerful. Although it failed to cut through the black armor, the impact nearly shattered his cervical vertebrae. He was dizzy, unable to maintain a defensive posture, and he also felt wisps of divine power gushing out of the black blade and adhering to his black armor.

Ji Jiayu was actually using the black blade as a guiding tool to unleash the divine power in his body. He didn't have too many bells and whistles, but he was so direct and wild in his use of divine power.

But Ji Jiayu could actually do it!

Where did he get so much divine power? The black-armored man was almost in despair.

Within Ji Jiayu's body, divine power gushed out like a tide, gradually eroding the black armor and weakening his defenses. After feeling this way, Ji Jiayu swung his knife again at the black-armored man's neck, his eyes firm, without hesitation. He hadn't even killed a chicken or a fish before.

He could clearly sense that these five black-armored men truly wanted to kill him. If he didn't kill them, they would kill him, and he couldn't die; he still had many things to do.

"Wah!"

The black knife that swallowed and spat out the divine sword fell, and the black-armored man instantly fell to the ground. Ji Jiayu's heartbeat faster, but there was no fear. He was just a little surprised. Why was this black-armored man's blood black?

But he didn't have time to think too much; now wasn't the time.

After eliminating this peak-ranked, black-armored man, Ji Jiayu turned his head and rushed towards the other third-ranked, black-armored man. However, just as Ji Jiayu turned around, the black-armored man who had fallen to the ground, a burst of power came from somewhere. His left hand actually swung his dagger again and stabbed Ji Jiayu's back, blood visible in the black mist.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, and Ji Jiayu subconsciously thinking that the dead were not threatening, he missed the black armored man, and when he sensed danger, the dagger had already pierced his sacred skin, and the tip of the dagger had a black liquid flowing out, but it was immediately wrapped and refined by the divine light particles in Ji Jiayu's body.

It should be noted that Ji Jiayu's divine power originated from the Golden Sacred River, a remnant of a Moon God-level powerhouse. Its quality was so high that it had already reached the god-level. Although Ji Jiayu lacked a divine body and couldn't exert the full potential of his divine power, the power it carried was quite powerful.

The black-armored man's desperate blow pierced Ji Jiayu's skin, and blood flowed from the wound, but that was all. Ji Jiayu endured the pain and turned around, seeing the black-armored man's unmoving corpse, but he still didn't dare underestimate him.

The black-armored man was using his life to teach Ji Jiayu a lesson. When facing this unknown creature, even if the opponent had fallen to the ground, he still couldn't take it lightly.

The world was so vast, there were no miracles, and only by being extremely vigilant could one live for a long time!

After cultivating the third-level Ming Spirit, his divine skin not only increased his defenses but also enhanced his recovery abilities. Driven by divine power, the pierced skin squirmed rapidly, pushing the dagger out. Strands of newly grown flesh tangled together, stitching the wound shut.

During this time, Ji Jiayu had already swung his knife and rushed out.

He had no previous combat experience, had never wielded a knife, and rarely even fought, but he was no fool. He knew that in this battle, he had the upper hand, and he simply needed to crush his opponent with his own advantage.

So, where was his strength? Of course, his strength was stronger than theirs, his divine power was greater than theirs, and there was also the fact that he had just discovered that his divine power had a suppressive effect on the energy of these black-armored men.

The remaining four third-level black-armored men were merely side dishes for him—hors d'oeuvres.

Facing Ji Jiayu, who was charging like a chariot, the black-armored man at the end of the third level roared angrily. He, along with three other black-armored men at the middle of the third level, assumed a siege posture.

Although Ji Jiayu was intimidated by their movements, he didn't slow down.

But what happened in the next second shocked him, and the four black armored men actually turned their heads and ran away without dignity.

Watching the black-armored man flee in all directions, Ji Jiayu was at a loss. Who should he pursue? He hesitated for only a moment before making a decision—he should pursue the black-armored man at the late-stage of the third stage. This black-armored man was more threatening. What if he hid in secret and tried to sneak attack him later?

This danger was best resolved first.

Seeing Ji Jiayu chasing after him, the black-armored man at the late-stage of the third stage was like ashes. According to his observations, with Ji Jiayu's speed, he had a 95% chance of escaping. But it didn't matter; they were just a search party on the march; as long as someone returned to report the news, his sacrifice would be worth it.

However, he really didn't want to die here! The two of them chased and fled, quickly closing the distance.

If Ding Lu, Ye Zihang, and the others had seen this scene, they would have been shocked and speechless.

After they entered the Holy Shine World, they had been immediately pursued by the Demon Soldier Army, and they were constantly facing death. But what about Ji Jiayu? Good guy, surrounded by five demon soldiers, he not only managed to eliminate one demon but also chased after another, leaving the latter terrified and panicked.

This gap was truly humiliating!

Seeing Ji Jiayu getting closer and closer, the black-armored man felt relieved. As a warrior, he had no intention of sitting idly by.

"Blood!"

The black-armored man mobilized the demonic energy within his body to violently attack every drop of his blood. Their demon blood also contained demonic energy, and upon colliding with the external demonic energy, a powerful energy current formed, sweeping through his body, causing his momentum to skyrocket. He suddenly leaped, turned, and slashed at Ji Jiayu with both hands, and the black blade instantly appeared in the air.

"Wah!"

The blade cut through the sky, devouring all the surrounding light, obscuring Ji Jiayu's vision. Ji Jiayu didn't hesitate; he raised the blade diagonally, and divine power flowed out of his palm, enveloping the entire blade.

Pale gold light gathered on the blade, flashing frantically with light.

He seemed to sense the black sword coming, and even felt impatient. He suddenly threw his hand forward, and the pale golden blade rushed out.

In less than a second, with a bang, the two blades collided, producing a massive explosion. The golden sword faced no resistance, piercing through the black blade like a bamboo shoot and slashing through the black armor of the black-armored man.

"Boom!"

The golden sword pierced through the black armor, then drilled into the black-armored man's body. A scream echoed, and a burst of burning filled the air.

Smelling the burning smell, Ji Jiayu frowned, but he still endured the discomfort in his heart, walked towards the black-armored man who had fallen to the ground, and used his mental powers to sense his life and death.

The black-armored man was truly dead, and through the exposed part of his face armor, he could see that his body was charred black, as if it had been burned.

It stood to reason that divine power only had a burning effect on certain negative-attribute creatures. Wasn't this black-armored man human?

Ji Jiayu was silent for a few seconds, then crouched down to dismantle the black armor of the black-armored man.

The black armor was cold and piercing to the touch, with a metallic feel. The joints had inverted hooks, making it stable to wear and very easy to disassemble.

Ji Jiayu was very silent as he dismantled the black armor. Firstly, because the black-armored man's death was too miserable, and secondly, because he discovered that this black-armored man was indeed not human or a light race, but rather a strange race.

Firstly, his blood was black, his body surface had dense scales like fish scales, a short tail where his tailbone was, and a horn on his forehead.

Although Ji Jiayu was an orphan and hadn't received any systematic basic education, he still recognized the creature in front of him. After all, when he was a child, the nanny and children would use images of demons to scare people, and in Guangming City, the image of demons was basically equated with supervillains.

This was clearly a demon! Wasn't this a world of sacred glory? How could there be a demon army? Jia Yu was somewhat puzzled.

But now wasn't the time to dwell on it. The other three black-armored men had already fled, and they could return with reinforcements at any moment. He needed to leave immediately.

Before leaving, Ji Jiayu wanted to put on the black armor of the demon soldier, but after trying it on, he realized the black armor was too bulky. He could only retreat to the second floor and retrieve the black knife of the demon soldier.

The black knife of the demon soldier had a rope attached to it, and Ji Jiayu tied one of the black knives behind his back and held the other in his right hand, quickly descending the mountain and blending into the dense forest.
