Chapter 117: Clearing Yong'an Prefecture!
Chapter 117: Clearing Yong'an Prefecture!
Qingzhou, Yong'an Prefecture, Cloud Purity Peak.
Qin Zheng stood in the square of the Azure Phoenix Sword Sect, caressing the Ghost Head Saber which was even sharper and faintly glowing red.
Behind him were three deputy commanders who had followed him all the way from Linyuan City, along with two deputy commanders from the Geng Word Camp.
Shi Xinhan, a native of Yong'an Prefecture, had his corpse brought back to the main camp by the Demon Slayer Patrol of the Geng Word Camp, preparing for burial.
No one had expected that the Grand General of the Geng Word Camp would fall so suddenly.
With the camp leaderless, the deputy commanders temporarily chose to follow Qin Zheng's orders.
After all, setting aside the fact that he was the Commander's Direct Disciple.
Qin Zheng's swift slaying of two Demon Sage Beasts demonstrated not only his exceptional strength but also served as direct revenge for their Grand General.
Under these circumstances, the Geng Word Camp chose to submit to Qin Zheng's command.
At this moment, the Demon Slayer Patrol of the Geng Word Camp searched the Azure Phoenix Sword Sect but found it completely deserted.
The entire sect had been devoured by the Deer Demon, its members becoming food in its belly.
"General Qin, what should we do next?"
Pei Qing, the strongest among the deputy commanders of the Geng Word Camp, usually took charge of the camp in Shi Xinhan's absence.
Earlier, at the foot of the mountain, it was he who had stopped Qin Zheng.
Looking at Qin Zheng before him, he respectfully asked, "General Qin, are there any more Demon Sage Beasts in Yong'an Prefecture? How many Demon creatures are there above the Demon King Realm, and how many Demon Mountains are there?"
Pei Qing pondered for a moment and replied, "There is one Demon Sage Beast in Yong'an Prefecture, and there should be around 130 Demon creatures above the Demon Mountains number eleven."
Qin Zheng nodded slightly.
Then, he asked again, "Are there any other deputy commanders in the Geng Word Camp?"
Pei Qing answered, "Reporting to General Qin, there are eight deputy commanders in the Geng Word Camp. Besides the two of us here, there are six others stationed within the camp."
Qin Zheng thought for a moment, sheathed the Ghost Head Saber, and said, "The original eight deputy commanders of the Geng Word Camp, plus the three who followed me from Linyuan City, make a total of eleven."
"Since the number matches the eleven Demon Mountains, it's perfect for one person to suppress each mountain."
As he spoke, he turned around to face the deputy commanders and said, "Starting now, mobilize all forces within the Geng Word Camp. Within three days, I will clear Yong'an Prefecture!"
Even though they were somewhat prepared, the deputy commanders were still shocked by Qin Zheng's words.
"General Qin, such a large-scale operation might attract Demon creatures from outside the prefecture."
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Then we'll take care of them too!"
"Yes!"
Hearing the determination in Qin Zheng's tone, the deputy commanders said no more and respectfully acknowledged his orders.
Clearing the Demons in Yong'an Prefecture would not only intimidate the observing Demon Sage but also bring peace to the prefecture for a while.
So, Pei Qing immediately turned and left with the three deputy commanders who had come from Linyuan City, making haste.
After they left, Qin Zheng took out a Demon Core and examined it.
Blackwood Cliff.
This was the most dangerous place in Yong'an Prefecture.
Here, there was a Demon Sage Beast! The Blackwood Bat King!
The only Demon Sage Beast in Yong'an Prefecture!
After the news from Cloud Purity Peak spread, many Demons in Yong'an Prefecture were hesitating whether to leave.
After all, the Lingming Deer King had killed General Shi Xinhan of the Geng Word Camp, which might provoke the wrath of the Demon Slayers.
When the time comes for the Demon Slayers to take action, many Demon Mountains in Yong'an Prefecture might face calamity.
And the most direct target would undoubtedly be this sole Demon Sage Beast.
However, the Bat King seemed unaffected and continued to dwell in the cave on the Blackwood Cliff.
This reassured the observing Demons, and their minds gradually settled.
After all, Demons had a strong sense of territoriality. If they left Yong'an Prefecture and entered other areas, their lives would likely be more challenging than they were now.
However, their peace didn't last long. Soon, the Geng Word Camp in Yong'an Prefecture began to make significant moves.
Demon Slayer Patrol officers poured out, swiftly arriving at the foot of the eleven Demon Mountains in Yong'an Prefecture.
Accompanying them were eleven Martial Artists at the Master Realm, enough to intimidate the Demon Mountains. They were the Demon Slayer deputy commanders!
For a moment, the atmosphere in Yong'an Prefecture became solemn and silent.
At the same time, many eyes were fixed on the direction of the Blackwood Cliff.
The eight deputy commanders of the Geng Word Camp emerged, and the Grand General Shi Xinhan had fallen. In his place was the Commander's Direct Disciple from Linyuan City.
Although this disciple had just taken action and consecutively slain two Demon Sage Beasts, whether there was any trickery involved was unknown, except to the two slain Demon Sage Beasts.
After all, they had heard that this Commander's Direct Disciple had just entered the sect and had not yet broken through the Great Grandmaster Realm.
A Martial Artist who hadn't broken through the Great Grandmaster Realm had managed to effortlessly slay two Demon Sage Beasts.
This was beyond the comprehension of the Demons in Yong'an Prefecture.
So, regarding the battle at Yun Qingfeng, where two Demon Sage Beasts were killed, all the monsters felt that something suspicious was hidden within.
As for the strength of the Commander's Direct Disciple, whether he was a paper tiger or a true tyrant, it all depended on whether he dared to go to Blackwood Cliff and expel the Blackwood Bat King!
Just as the monsters were speculating about the truth of the Yun Qingfeng battle, a group of Demon Slayer Patrols, dressed in uniforms, arrived at Blackwood Cliff on horseback.
In front of the Demon Slayer Patrols was a demon horse with a trace of dragon bloodline!
And on its back sat a young man in a golden-patterned dark robe, looking majestic.
The Demon Slayer Patrols gazed at this figure with reverence in their eyes.
Ahead, Qin Zheng looked up at the steep cliff before him.
With his eyesight, he could clearly see a large cave at the halfway point of the mountain.
That was where the Blackwood Bat King was located.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes and then turned to look at the Demon Slayer Patrols behind him, saying, "Wait here for me."
With that, he dismounted, displayed his lightfoot techniques, and soared like a swift swallow, quickly climbing the sheer cliff in front of the crowd.
In just a few breaths, Qin Zheng's figure rushed into the cave.
The Demon Slayer Patrols who had followed him stood in their original spots, their faces suddenly unable to contain their excitement.
"What do you think, how strong is this Lord Qin?"
"I'm not sure how strong he is, but he was able to easily see through the fox demon disguised as a Grand General and effortlessly slay two Demon Sage Beasts as if chopping vegetables. His strength is definitely not weak!"
"The most important thing is that Lord Qin is so young! Who knows how powerful he will become in the future!"
"Perhaps our Qingzhou also has the potential to give birth to a Martial Sage!"
When the words 'Martial Sage' were mentioned, the Demon Slayer Patrols present, though only at the Tempering Realm, became passionately enthusiastic.
The Martial Sage Realm, the Martial Dao Sage!
If one could reach that level, every move would likely possess supreme might to alter the very landscape!
That realm was truly awe-inspiring.
As they were still imagining the mysteries of the Martial Sage Realm, a slightly cold voice sounded in their ears.
"Let's go to the nearest Demon Mountain!"
This voice startled the Demon Slayer Patrols, and they quickly turned to look.
They saw Qin Zheng holding a demon core that emitted heat, standing before them. He then mounted the horse, took hold of the reins, and changed direction.
"Giddyap!"
Qin Zheng shouted lightly, and with a gentle squeeze of his legs, the demon horse charged forward.
The Demon Slayer Patrols exchanged glances, and they all saw the unconcealed shock in each other's eyes.
How much time had passed?
They had only spoken a few words, and this man had already slain the Demon Sage Beast, the Blackwood Bat King?
In that instant, they became even more keenly aware of how formidable this Commander's Direct Disciple was.
The Blackwood Bat King was a long-standing concern of the Grand General, a Demon Sage Beast that had not been eliminated!
Now, he had been crushed and defeated so swiftly, his demon core extracted.
It seemed that the plan to clear Yong'an Prefecture of monsters within three days was not just empty talk!
With this thought, the crowd hurriedly pulled the reins and rode towards the figure.
Thus, the monsters in Yong'an Prefecture waited in vain for news of the Blackwood Bat King.
One by one, the demon mountains were swiftly cleared by the demon slayers, led by Qin Zheng.
During this process, any monster with some level of cultivation could not escape the arrows that flew like thunder and radiant light.
Before the third day, on the afternoon of the second day, as the sun was about to set.
Qin Zheng, along with eleven deputy commanders and a group of Geng Word Camp Demon Slayer Patrols, completely cleared eleven demon mountains.
From that point on, the eleven tumors threatening Yong'an Prefecture's people were completely eradicated!
Although Yong'an Prefecture would never be permanently free of monsters, these places that had been cleared of demons would eventually be occupied by new monsters.
But that was a matter for the future. For now, if any monster tried to take advantage of the situation and occupy territory, it would only meet the demon slayer's blade!
This news spread like a hurricane throughout Qingzhou.
A temporary demon-hunting team composed of the Jia Army, Yi Army, and Bing Army had just reached the outskirts of Yong'an Prefecture.
Upon receiving this news, everyone was not only shocked but also looked towards the front of the team, at the girl holding a great halberd.
Their purpose in coming here was to eliminate the monsters in Yong'an Prefecture.
Now, even before they arrived, the Geng Word Camp had already completed the task, expelling and slaying these monsters, so their mission was also accomplished.
Xu Qingling met the gazes of the crowd, thought for a moment, and said, "Disband and return to your respective camps!"
The Jia Army, Yi Army, and Bing Army, though powerful, were responsible for guarding against the most severe monster infestations.
Since Yong'an Prefecture no longer needed their help, they should quickly return to their camps to carry out their duties.
At the same time, in the Geng Word Camp in Yong'an Prefecture, inside a tent.
Qin Zheng examined the merit he had accumulated and silently recited, "Enhance Martial Arts - Nine Transform Golden Body Technique!"
