Chapter 114: Impersonating a Demon Slayer General? Seeking Death!
Chapter 114: Impersonating a Demon Slayer General? Seeking Death!
Clop! Clop! Clop! Clop!
Four spirited horses galloped along the official road, leaving a trail of dust in their wake.
At the forefront, Qin Zheng held the reins with one hand, his gaze fixed intently ahead.
The demonic horses, infused with the bloodline of dragon spirits, could travel a thousand miles in a day without rest.
In just one day, Qin Zheng, along with three deputy commanders, had journeyed from Linyuan City in Yongyuan Prefecture to the interior of Yong'an Prefecture.
Qin Zheng wasted no time and headed straight for the Yunqing Peak, where the Azure Phoenix Sword Sect was located.
A Demon Sage Realm demon, disguised as a human, had infiltrated the martial world, undoubtedly with malicious intent.
By arriving early and swiftly eliminating the demon, he could prevent any unintended harm that might occur due to a momentary lapse.
With this thought in mind, they arrived just as the sun reached its zenith.
Qin Zheng and his party reached a spot not far from the foot of Yunqing Peak.
At that moment, they saw a dense crowd gathered around the base of the mountain.
Although their attire differed slightly from that of the N Character Camp, it was undoubtedly the clothing of demon slayers.
Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, sensing something amiss.
According to the information sent by the Geng Word Camp to Linyuan City, the matter involved a Demon Sage Realm demon, and they dared not act without the direct disciple of the Commander-in-Chief.
But now, it seemed they had already taken action!
Had something unexpected happened during their journey?
The four figures quickly reached the foot of Yunqing Peak, coming into the view of the demon slayers from the Geng Word Camp.
"Who dares approach? Stop immediately!"
A Master Realm deputy commander, brandishing a long spear, charged out from the crowd and shouted coldly.
Qin Zheng pulled on the reins, halting his horse.
At the same time, one of the deputy commanders stepped forward and announced, "We are from Linyuan City, and this is the Commander's Direct Disciple, Qin Zheng!"
The deputy commander from the Geng Word Camp seemed skeptical, "There are five Commander's Direct Disciples, but I've never heard of any with the surname 'Qin'."
Qin Zheng dismounted and took out the Direct Disciple Token, showing it to the deputy commander, and said, "Who ordered you to guard this place?"
The deputy commander, upon seeing the token, hesitated but thought that within Qingzhou, no one would dare impersonate the Commander-in-Chief.
He sheathed his spear and respectfully replied, "We were ordered by Master General Shi to guard this place!"
Master General Shi
The General of the Geng Word Camp, Shi Xinhan.
Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Take me to see him."
With the Grand Master who guarded Yong'an Prefecture here, things would be much easier.
This Grand Master would undoubtedly have the most information about the demon.
But when he said this, the deputy commander's expression became hesitant.
Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze turned cold, his voice dropping in temperature, "Are you unwilling?"
As he spoke, the three deputy commanders from Linyuan City stepped forward, their auras suddenly rising.
The situation with the Geng Word Camp was not normal!
Seeing this, the deputy commander quickly shook his head and confessed, "The General fought the demon and was injured. He is currently recuperating."
"He has ordered that no one is to disturb him until he emerges from seclusion."
"General Qin, this is Master General Shi's order. We are merely following his instructions. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Hearing this, Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly deep in thought.
After a few breaths, he nodded and said, "Since Master General Shi is unwell, I won't disturb him."
"I'll take care of the demon on the mountain peak."
As he turned to head towards Yunqing Peak, the deputy commander's figure once again blocked his path, apologizing, "My apologies, General Qin."
"The General has ordered that no one is to ascend the mountain without his permission."
With these words, the demon slayers from the Geng Word Camp took a step forward, their auras rising.
Qin Zheng's gaze turned icy.
"How dare you! A Commander's Direct Disciple is beyond your ability to stop!"
The three deputy commanders behind Qin Zheng stepped forward, instantly reaching the front, facing off against the deputy commander from the Geng Word Camp.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense with confrontation.
"What are you doing? Step aside immediately! Don't disturb General Qin!"
At that moment, a weak voice echoed.
The demon slayers from the Geng Word Camp turned to look towards the source of the voice.
The densely packed crowd parted, creating a path.
A tall figure, clad in a silver-patterned dark robe, with a slightly pale complexion, emerged from the other side of the crowd and walked towards Qin Zheng.
"General!"
"General!"
". . ."
As the figure approached, the demon slayers from the Geng Word Camp respectfully greeted him.
When he reached Qin Zheng, a faint smile of apology appeared on his slightly pale face, and he said, "Please forgive my subordinates' lack of discipline, General Qin."
His expression turned cold as he turned to the deputy commander and said, "Apologize to General Qin at once!"
The deputy commander hurriedly stepped forward and was about to speak to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng reached out his hand, stopping the man's action and speaking up, "It's a good thing that you all faithfully follow the orders of the General who commands the entire prefecture."
"But what if the General before you is not your General?"
The deputy commander was taken aback by these words, momentarily stunned.
Qin Zheng, like a phantom, took a step forward, tearing through the air with his palm and striking the pale, robust man's chest.
Swish!
Boom!!
The man was instantly sent flying backward, slamming into the mountain behind him.
"You audacious monster! How dare you impersonate our Monster Slayer General! Are you not afraid of death?!"
Qin Zheng's cold voice echoed as he shook his shoulders, and the Ghost Head Saber fell into his hand, taking another step forward.
At this moment, on his Sea of Consciousness, a new line of text appeared on the Merit Scroll.
[Azure Hill Fox Demon, fond of devouring human hearts, heavy with sin. Kill it, and you will gain 32 jin, 4 liang, and 8 qian of merit!]
This General of the N Character Camp was not the real one at all; he had been replaced by a Demonic Sage Realm Fox Demon!
Qin Zheng's sudden action caught everyone off guard, and some Monster Slayer Sergeants who hadn't fully grasped the situation immediately drew their sabers, ready to take action.
Fortunately, the deputy commander who faced Qin Zheng directly had clearly heard what he said.
'Monster' and 'impersonating our Monster Slayer General.'
No wonder the General had been acting differently since returning to the N Character Camp. Now it all made sense!
Realizing this, he scanned the surrounding Monster Slayer Sergeants who were eager to act, and shouted, "Stop!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the sergeants halted, their eyes filled with confusion as they looked at him.
Roar!!!
At the same time, on the other side, a sharp beastly roar suddenly rang out.
This sound instantly captured everyone's attention, and they all looked towards the source of the beastly roar.
There, they saw their General, his face contorted, his skin tearing as he quickly transformed into a gigantic Fox Demon!
Dense demon aura mixed with malevolent energy surged into the sky, sweeping across the four directions, filling everyone's hearts with unprecedented fear.
The disparity in strength was immense, like an ordinary person facing a man-eating tiger, a fear that gripped them to the core.
The General they had been following all this time turned out to be a Demonic Sage Realm Great Demon!
Everyone's hearts trembled, and as they looked at the young figure, they also felt a sense of awe.
They had been with the General day and night, yet none of them had noticed that he had been replaced by a Fox Demon.
This young man, upon meeting them, had immediately sensed something amiss.
Indeed, he was the Commander's Direct Disciple, and his skills were far superior to ordinary people.
"You've never met Shi Xinhan, so how did you realize I wasn't him?!"
The Fox Demon roared, speaking harshly to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng didn't respond. Instead, he took a quick step forward, and with the Ghost Head Saber in his hand, he unleashed a force that could move mountains. In an instant, he sliced down.
This Demonic Sage Realm Fox Demon had impersonated Shi Xinhan, so the real General of the N Character Camp was likely already in grave danger!
And if even the General who governed the entire prefecture had fallen victim to this calamity, these Great Demons must have had a grand scheme!
Therefore, the only option now was to act swiftly and decisively, cutting through the chaos like a hot knife through butter, and slaying these monsters as soon as possible!
Only then could they prevent the situation from spiraling further out of control!
His saber sliced through the air with unstoppable force, and in an instant, it descended upon the Fox Demon's head.
But just as the Fox Demon's identity was exposed, and it faced Qin Zheng's resolute and swift attack, its first reaction was to flee!
It waved its massive tail, and just as Qin Zheng's saber was about to strike, it suddenly leaped out.
Boom!
The Ghost Head Saber clashed with the Fox Demon's tail.
However, it emitted an extremely crisp sound of metal.
The Fox Demon's tail didn't last long; in the blink of an eye, it was severed by Qin Zheng's saber.
In excruciating pain, the Fox Demon roared, and as it looked at Qin Zheng, its eyes revealed both fear and hatred!
But it didn't linger; it turned and dashed towards the direction of the Cloud Purity Peak's summit, moving like a shadow.
Its speed was so fast that it was difficult to even consider chasing after it.
Even Qin Zheng, with his swiftness, found it challenging to keep up with the Fox Demon.
But this wasn't a problem.
He planted the Ghost Head Saber vertically into the ground beside him, then took up his Great Bow, nocking an arrow and drawing the string.
Power surged within him, roaring like a mighty storm, and it culminated in his arms.
The bowstring, made from dragon tendons, was stretched to its limit at this moment.
Then,
Boom!!
The arrow flew like a streak of light, tearing through the air and emitting a thunderous roar!
In the blink of an eye, the arrow traversed a hundred zhang and instantly pierced through the Fox Demon's back, exiting from its head.
Boom!
A muffled sound exploded.
The Fox Demon suddenly burst open, turning into a rain of blood and flesh.
The Demonic Sage Realm Fox Demon was destroyed.
Qin Zheng's expression remained unchanged, not a hint of emotion on his face.
He turned around, looking at the sergeants behind him, and said, "Stay here."
Then, with a single step, he unleashed his lightfoot techniques, soaring like a swift swallow, and rushed towards the summit of Cloud Purity Peak!
