Chapter 144: No Threats, Just Kill!
Chapter 144: No Threats, Just Kill!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two figures darted through the wilderness like shadows.
After entering the Mosu Mountains, in just half a day, the two had ventured deep into the heart of the mountain range, gradually approaching the Moxu Demon Cavern.
The closer they got to the demon cavern, the denser the demonic aura became.
This concentration of demonic energy was like the difference between a blazing sun and a firefly compared to all the demon mountains Qin Zheng had visited within Qingzhou's borders. Qin Zheng's eyes were cautious, but beneath that caution was a hidden eagerness.
The more demons there were, the more merit he could accumulate!
With his current martial prowess, as long as he had enough merit, he could quickly elevate his strength once again.
Upon reaching a mountain peak, the figure ahead suddenly stopped.
Qin Zheng had no choice but to halt as well.
"We're still a few hundred li away from the Moxu Demon Cavern."
Zhao Li looked up at the sky above and spoke.
The sky above them was dark, not due to the setting sun or rising moon, but because the dense demonic aura had condensed into a tangible substance, obscuring the sky.
Qin Zheng nodded slightly, his gaze unconsciously drawn to the direction where the demonic aura was most intense.
"This time, we're here to deal with the Moxu Demon Cavern, but there's a Demon Clan Supreme here. Be cautious and stay close to me, don't be careless."
Zhao Li turned and looked at Qin Zheng, offering a final reminder.
Qin Zheng considered this and asked, "Are there restrictions on killing demons?"
Since there was a Demon Clan Supreme here, it was unlikely that they would allow the two of them to slaughter the demons of the Moxu Demon Cavern.
There should be a restriction on the 'dealing with' the demons, a reasonable limit agreed upon by both sides.
Zhao Li smiled at Qin Zheng's question and immediately replied, "The Demon Clan is cold-hearted. As long as you don't attack the Demon Clan Supreme, you can kill the rest of the demons at will!"
"Anyway, these demons rely on it for survival. As long as it's alive, even if we kill all the demons in the Moxu Demon Cavern, there will still be large numbers of demons coming to join and rely on it."
Qin Zheng nodded, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his face.
But this smile was fleeting, and Zhao Li didn't notice it.
"Let's kill some more Demonic Sage Realm demons. The lower realms won't have a significant impact on Qingzhou, and we can't kill those above the Demonic Sage Realm."
"After we kill a hundred, we'll return to Qingzhou."
Zhao Li finished speaking, took a step, and instantly darted out like a shadow.
Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and with a single step, he followed closely behind, quickly heading towards the direction of the Moxu Demon Cavern.
This time, they didn't fly for long before a massive Demonic Sage Realm wolf demon appeared.
Zhao Li's eyes flickered, and just as he was about to make a move, a golden light burst from his side.
A fierce saber light suddenly lit up, and the wolf demon's huge head smashed into the ground, its blood gushing out like a flood.
A Demonic Sage Realm demon was instantly destroyed!
"You little..."
Zhao Li chuckled.
This was the first time he had seen a martial artist so eager to kill demons.
Could there be some other benefit to killing demons?
Zhao Li shook his head slightly and released his perception, sweeping his gaze across the area to detect any traces.
Howl!!!
Wolf howls echoed from all directions.
Roar!!!
Immediately, various roars and growls filled the air.
Then, from the surrounding mountains, powerful demonic auras soared into the sky.
"Human martial artists?! Daring to intrude upon the Moxu Demon Cavern? You're truly seeking death!!"
A bull-headed demon with a human body appeared on a nearby mountain peak, holding a massive bone club. He looked at Qin Zheng and Zhao Li and shouted.
Zhao Li let out a cold laugh, and his essence energy surged out, reaching its peak.
He responded, "What? You think the Demon Clan can invade our Great Jin, but we can't do the same to you?"
Boom!!!
Zhao Li hadn't even finished his sentence.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed through the heavens and the earth, followed by a dazzling beam of light that resembled a tornado. It swept up mountains and trees, instantly soaring into the sky!
In the blink of an eye, it crossed the sky!
Bang!
Before the bull demon could utter another word, it was blasted by an arrow, turning into a shower of blood that scattered in the air.
Zhao Li's face showed a hint of surprise, and he turned to look at Qin Zheng not far away.
Qin Zheng had inserted his Ghost Head Saber into the ground beside him, holding a large bow in his hand, his expression calm and unperturbed.
Hey, couldn't you let me say a few words during this exchange of threats?
"You..."
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Roar!!!
Suddenly, the sound of angry roars from the surrounding demons filled the air.
The ground shook, and dozens of massive Demonic Sage Realm demons appeared from all directions.
Zhao Li had no choice but to close his mouth, his essence energy gathering on the blade of his saber, ready to strike.
But then—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the heavens and earth, continuous thunderous explosions suddenly appeared.
Immediately, beams of light burst forth like tornadoes, shaking the heavens and the earth, changing the colors of the sky and clouds!
With each beam of light, a powerful demon was pierced and blasted by an arrow!
After replacing the dragon sinew of the Pseudo True Dragon, the Dragon Lord of Cangyuan, the power that the large bow could withstand also increased.
These ordinary Demonic Sage Realm demons had little resistance against the arrows fired by Qin Zheng.
In just a moment, over half of the dozen or so large demons were blasted by the arrows.
The remaining demons had already closed in, and the distance was too close for further bow and arrow attacks.
So, Qin Zheng sheathed his bow and drew his sword, taking a step forward with his lightfoot skills, and his entire body flashed like a golden light, instantly charging out.
He first arrived before a tiger demon, delivering a whip kick that instantly exploded its massive demon body. Then, he turned and beheaded a snake demon.
Qin Zheng's figure was like a phantom, constantly weaving through the group of Demonic Sage Realm demons.
With his movements, almost every strike ended a large demon's life.
Zhao Li stood at the back, slightly stunned by Qin Zheng's actions.
Soon after, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his heart grew heavy.
Could it be that this child had encountered a demon disaster when he was young?
Otherwise, why would his killing intent towards these demons be so intense!
With this display, if not for the presence of the Great Sage Realm bear demon, he might have continued slaughtering his way through the Moxu Demon Cavern.
Never mind, it's just a strike against the Moxu Demon Cavern; let him kill as he pleases.
After all, this young man is not weak, and in the Moxu Demon Cavern, aside from the Great Sage Realm bear demon and a few Saint Envoys, there shouldn't be anyone who could threaten him.
Moreover, with Zhao Li backing him up, there's no harm in letting him kill.
With such strength, why not kill demons instead of humans?
At this thought, Zhao Li smiled slightly, then gathered his focus and charged forward with his lightfoot skills.
Naturally, he wouldn't leave all the demons for Qin Zheng to kill.
After all, this was a demon cave with numerous demons, and even Qin Zheng alone couldn't finish them all.
As Zhao Li joined the battle, the dozens of demons surrounding them were quickly overwhelmed.
The two of them moved with fluid grace, exuding dominance, and with each strike, a demon fell.
However, Zhao Li found it strange that as he fought, he could sense Qin Zheng's movements becoming faster.
In a fleeting glance, he even detected a hint of urgency in Qin Zheng's eyes.
This child...
Zhao Li was puzzled but temporarily suppressed his thoughts, not wanting to dwell on it.
Currently, they were deep within the demon cave and in the midst of battle; it was best not to be distracted, and he could ask about it later.
Their nearly overwhelming assault quickly caused the group of demons to scatter and flee.
Zhao Li paused, but Qin Zheng showed no signs of stopping.
He put down his Ghost Head Saber and picked up his bow, nocking an arrow.
Then, like a beam of light, the arrow exploded in the void with a thunderous sound, piercing through the escaping demons.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Unfortunately, they were deep in the mountains, and after blasting three demons, the remaining ones completely disappeared from sight.
"Thirty-seven," Qin Zheng muttered as he lowered his bow.
He sank a strand of his soul into the Merit Scroll, examining its contents.
In this short moment, he had slain thirty-seven Demonic Sage Realm demons!
As a result, his merit increased by over a thousand jin!
Qin Zheng's eyes shone brightly, as if with a gleam of brilliance.
This feeling was truly exhilarating!
In such a short time, he had accumulated so much merit.
If he could repeat this a few more times, he would have enough merit to refine the False True Dragon Demon Pill!
Talent: Thunder Summoning Lightning Control!
Skill: True Dragon Divine Refining Scripture!
Both the talent and skill he had acquired were top-tier treasures!
With these acquisitions, his strength would undoubtedly improve once more!
Furthermore, if he accumulated enough merit, he could even advance the Eighty-One Transformations to Saint Scripture!
Even if he later had to go to the Imperial Capital Martial Academy to study the Enlightenment Divine Stele and enhance his various martial arts, having an early boost in strength would still be beneficial, and he wouldn't have to wait until his arrival at the academy.
These thoughts swirled in Qin Zheng's mind.
"How are you doing? Are you alright?" Zhao Li approached and asked.
Qin Zheng shook his head, indicating he was fine, and then turned to look into the depths of the Moxu Demon Cavern.
Zhao Li nodded and said, "Let's go. The master of the house already knows we have visitors."
With this trial run concluded, the next step would likely be a Saint Envoy coming to negotiate with him.
This was the usual procedure, and Zhao Li, as an exceptional grandmaster from the Imperial Capital Martial Academy, had handled such situations numerous times before.
Qin Zheng nodded, picked up his Ghost Head Saber, and followed Zhao Li's pace.
However, as they ventured deeper into the Moxu Demon Cavern, the demon aura around them became increasingly intense!
Eventually, a thick demon mist enveloped the wilderness, obscuring their vision.
"Wait, something's not right," Zhao Li said, his expression growing slightly grave.
But as soon as he stopped and spoke, there was no response from behind.
Zhao Li's face changed abruptly, and when he turned around, he realized that Qin Zheng, who had been following him, had already disappeared without a trace!
