Chapter 102: My Son is Dead, Why Should They Live?
Chapter 102: My Son is Dead, Why Should They Live?
Spirit Nine Lives Cat, a Demonic Sovereign Realm Demon, was extremely skilled in the art of spiritual soul manipulation.
"Alright, since you've said so, I can make a move for you."
The white cat nodded, then leaped out of the carriage, its body quickly growing larger, transforming into a colossal creature nearly ten meters tall.
Thick and rich Demon Aura was released without restraint, as if dimming the sky around them.
Under such a terrifying situation, the workers nearby immediately fled in panic.
Boom!
The big cat extended its claws and slapped the ground.
The ground shook, causing many people to fall.
"Meow!"
Immediately after, the big cat opened its mouth and meowed.
This sound seemed to have an eerie infectious effect.
The workers fleeing in all directions stopped upon hearing this meow, their expressions turning blank as their souls left their bodies and floated in mid-air.
"Meow!"
The big cat's voice continued, spreading like waves, layer upon layer, in all directions.
In just a few breaths, the sound reached every corner of Heiyan City, and the citizens all had blank expressions.
At the same time, the big cat began to emit thick black air, quickly covering Heiyan City.
"Meow!"
The eerie meow continued.
From a distance, Heiyan City was covered in black air, and within the eerie meows, human faces emerged from the black mist.
The black mist covering Heiyan City resembled a gigantic cat face!
Huai'an Prefecture, N Character Camp.
Qin Zheng was cultivating the Five Viscera Cultivation Skill, accumulating Life Essence Qi.
At this moment, the curtain of his tent was suddenly opened.
Immediately after, Chu Yu, one of the Deputy Commanders, entered.
He looked at Qin Zheng, hesitated to speak, but finally said, "There's someone in the camp who needs your attention."
Qin Zheng opened his eyes, and a flash of essence light passed through his clear eyes, like translucent glass, before returning to calmness.
"Let's go."
He stood up, looked at Chu Yu, and spoke.
This was the third day that Chu Long had been locked up in the dungeon, and it was about time for someone to come.
Qin Zheng strode out of the tent.
At the same time, he saw a man in soft armor holding a red-tasseled long spear.
As their gazes met, it was as if they had collided in the void.
"Where's Chu Long?"
The man asked calmly.
"Are you from the Commander-in-Chief's men?"
Qin Zheng inquired.
The man shook his head, and his aura slowly rose as he replied, "I'm Ren Bin from the Ji Zi Clan, sent by the Grand General to take Chu Long away."
Another Great Grandmaster-level martial artist!
No wonder the Ji Zi Clan, the leader of the ten military camps, was far more powerful than the N Character Camp.
Qin Zheng was somewhat amazed, but he also shook his head and continued, "If he's not from the Commander-in-Chief's men, Chu Long can't be taken away."
Ren Bin narrowed his eyes slightly, tightening his grip on the red-tasseled long spear.
At this moment, the auras of the two men clashed invisibly!
Behind Qin Zheng, Chu Yu's expression turned solemn.
The reason he had called for Qin Zheng was that the visitor was a Great Grandmaster-level martial artist, and he couldn't handle it himself.
However, there was a drawback: Qin Zheng was too stubborn!
Although everyone believed that Chu Long deserved to die, he was still a Great Grandmaster-level martial artist from the Ji Zi Clan.
With the severe Demon Plague, the Ji Zi Clan wouldn't stand by and let such a powerful fighter be executed.
Therefore, the Ji Zi Clan would surely take Chu Long back before his execution!
If Qin Zheng refused, it would lead to another major battle!
Just as the atmosphere grew tense, and a battle was about to erupt...
Clatter! Clatter!
A mounted rider charged in without paying attention to the tense situation.
The Demon Slayer Commander dismounted and, with a worried expression, turned to Qin Zheng, saying,
"I've received an urgent report. Heiyan City is suspected to have a Demonic Sovereign Realm Demon, and all the citizens are dead, with no survivors!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat!
At this moment, Qin Zheng no longer paid attention to the visitor from the Ji Zi Clan. He immediately ordered, "Prepare the horses!"
Then, he turned and entered the tent to retrieve his weapon. After leaving the tent, he saw the man in soft armor holding the red-tasseled long spear riding out of the N Character Camp.
Qin Zheng's gaze followed, and he quickly mounted his horse, holding the reins and galloping out.
Demonic Sovereign Realm Demon.
Qin Zheng's eyes held a hint of solemnity.
The warhorse galloped.
In just half a day, he arrived near Heiyan City.
As he looked towards Heiyan City, countless crows were circling above it.
At that moment, a figure appeared beside him.
"This aura, soul-stealing, Spirit Nine Lives Cat, it's indeed a Demonic Sovereign Realm Demon!"
Ren Bin, holding the red-tasseled long spear, looked at Heiyan City, which had lost all signs of life, and spoke with a solemn expression.
Then, he turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Let's discuss Chu Long's matter later. The urgent task now is to deal with that Demon Cat!"
Qin Zheng was also surprised, as Ren Bin, being from the same Ji Zi Clan as Chu Long, seemed different.
The Great Grandmaster nodded, and with his assistance, they were more than ready to proceed.
Without further delay, the two mounted their horses and rode towards Heiyan City.
Before long, they entered the city, where a gruesome scene unfolded before them. The streets, inns, and stalls were littered with corpses. These citizens' bodies bore no wounds, and it seemed as if they had been going about their daily lives one moment and turned into corpses the next.
Qin Zheng's gaze swept over this scene, and as he saw more, his expression became calmer, and the aura around him grew colder.
Slaughter!
The word echoed in his mind.
Although there were no mountains of corpses or seas of blood, and no ruins in sight, the entire city was devoid of survivors. The situation was even more dire than in Luyang County.
Qin Zheng found it odd that the demon hadn't eaten any humans. With his heightened senses, he couldn't detect a hint of blood in the air of Heiyan City.
This meant that after the demon had slaughtered the city, it hadn't consumed a single person.
"The Spirit Nine Lives Cat is a peculiar demon that prefers to eat human souls rather than flesh."
At this moment, Ren Bin, noticing Qin Zheng's confusion, explained.
Eat human souls?
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed.
The last demon he'd encountered with a taste for human souls was Gao Wusheng!
Coincidentally, both were in Heiyan City!
Could there be a connection between the two?
"The Spirit Nine Lives Cat's physical strength is weaker than other demons of its realm, but its soul is powerful, and it excels in soul attacks."
"You're not a Great Grandmaster, so your mental energy is weaker. Stay behind me as much as possible."
Ren Bin continued.
Qin Zheng remained silent, unsure of the mental energy prowess of a Great Grandmaster.
However, his own mental energy had advanced to the point where he could materialize objects with his thoughts!
Even Qin Li Hu hadn't displayed such prowess!
Ren Bin's words further impressed Qin Zheng, confirming his status as a true Great Grandmaster.
The two men opened their senses, cautiously moving through the city.
"Meow!"
Suddenly, a cat's cry rang out.
Qin Zheng felt an invisible force collide with his mind, but a warm sensation at his brow center quickly dispersed it, forming a protective barrier around his soul.
Soul attack, Spirit Nine Lives Cat!
Qin Zheng reacted swiftly, and a great bow appeared in his hands. He nocked an arrow, drew the string, and aimed at the source of the sound.
Then, a thunderous roar filled the air as the arrow tore through the sky, its speed rivaling lightning.
Qin Zheng's actions were decisive and without hesitation.
This surprised even Ren Bin, who raised an eyebrow in astonishment.
"Meow!"
The cat's cry sounded again, this time with a hint of anger.
A cold-faced woman appeared before them.
"Human?"
Qin Zheng and Ren Bin exchanged glances, confirming that the figure before them was not a demon in human form but a human.
"You're Qin Zheng!"
The woman glared at Qin Zheng with venomous eyes and shouted, "You killed my son!"
With these words, both Qin Zheng and Ren Bin understood the woman's identity.
She was one of the Qingzhou governor's concubines, the mother of Gao Wusheng, whom Qin Zheng had killed.
"Did you conspire with the demon to slaughter the citizens of Heiyan City?" Ren Bin asked coldly.
The woman laughed scornfully, "My son is dead, so why should they live?"
As soon as she finished speaking, an arrow shot forth.
With a common enemy before them, there was no need for restraint. The woman had sent assassins after Qin Zheng numerous times, and now, she had collaborated with a demon to wipe out an entire city.
Qin Zheng's swift and decisive action caught everyone off guard, including the woman.
A massive cat paw appeared and swatted the arrow, which had been like a flash of light, out of the sky.
The ground beneath them shook violently.
A cat demon, nearly ten feet tall, emerged before them.
It raised its paw, and a bloodstain was visible in the center, where it had just swatted the arrow.
"How dare you, a human, injure me?" the cat demon growled, its eyes cold as it glared at Qin Zheng.
In response, another arrow, like a flash of light, flew towards the demon.
A cold figure with a Ghost Head Saber approached, ready to strike.
"You're on the brink of death, so why waste words?" Qin Zheng said.
