Chapter 191: Reciprocity is a Must!
Chapter 191: Reciprocity is a Must!
Blood flowed for thousands of miles, and corpses littered the ground.
The land resembled a wasteland, shrouded in desolate death energy.
As a region closer to the outskirts of the Demon Race, Yanzhou's situation was far more severe than that of Lingzhou.
In just one day!
The demise of Li Family's Ancestor, the fall of Lingzhou and Yanzhou, all within a single day!
The entire Yanzhou had turned into such a miserable and desolate scene!
Wang Qingfeng held a long spear in one hand, his face grim as he walked upon the blood-soaked land of Yanzhou.
After a moment, he arrived before a mountain that had been cut in half.
There, a figure clad in a golden-patterned dark robe sat cross-legged atop the mountain.
Beside this figure, a Demon Head Great Saber was vertically stuck in the ground, emanating a shocking killing aura.
"I am Wang Qingfeng. May I ask, is it you who has just been promoted to the National Guard Martial Sage of the Great Jin Dynasty?"
Wang Qingfeng planted his spear into the ground beside him and then clasped his fists, speaking with a hint of apprehension.
Through his Primordial Spirit's senses, he perceived that while Yanzhou was filled with bloodlust and demonic energy, there was not a single living Demon Race creature.
Moreover, at the edge of Yanzhou, the corpses of three Great Sages of the Demon Race lay sprawled!
And in this place, there was only one National Guard Martial Sage, the one before him.
It wasn't difficult to guess that the root of all these changes was the figure before him!
To be able to single-handedly slay three Great Sages of the Demon Race immediately after his promotion, and these were the same three Great Sages who had just joined forces to kill Li Family's Ancestor!
Such formidable strength and profound foundation...
Wang Qingfeng recalled the rumors he had recently heard and instantly identified the identity of the person before him.
Qingzhou's Qin Zheng!
The one who fought the Demon Race with a Demi-Saint body, setting a precedent since the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, and stirring up the capital's storm of a genius who shook the world!
At this moment, Qin Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
With the annihilation of the three Great Sages of the Demon Race and the repulsion of the invading demon hordes in the two provinces, he had accumulated tens of thousands of virtue!
Now, he had taken another step forward in his cultivation.
Unfortunately, although the Gao Clan Sage had committed grave sins, he had guarded the Great Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years. His merits and demerits balanced out, leaving him without any contribution to Qin Zheng's path to strength.
This was also the reason why Qin Zheng chose to spare him the first time.
But it was futile to try to persuade a stubborn and unyielding demon. If they refused to listen, then killing them was the only option!
These thoughts flashed through Qin Zheng's mind in an instant.
He then turned his gaze towards the figure before him, a man in blue, with a firm expression—the eighteenth Martial Sage of the Great Jin Dynasty, promoted a hundred years ago.
The direct disciple of Elder Wang Qingquan.
"I am Qin Zheng."
Qin Zheng responded and slowly stood up, clasping his fists as he continued, "Thank you for your help in Qingzhou!"
If it weren't for this elder passing on the Sacred Weapon he had nurtured for hundreds of years to Wang Qingquan, the elder would have been unable to stop the three Great Demons, including the Mocking Saint, by himself.
Wang Qingfeng understood Qin Zheng's words and casually waved his hand, saying, "It's just a minor matter."
Then, after a moment of thought, he added, "My master..."
Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Elder Wang is well."
Only then did Wang Qingfeng breathe a slight sigh of relief.
After all, Elder Wang Qingquan was already advanced in years. Even as a Half-step Martial Sage, wielding the Sacred Weapon he had nurtured for centuries, he was still facing genuine Great Sages of the Demon Race.
So, Wang Qingfeng couldn't truly feel at ease.
"I have slain all the demons that invaded Lingzhou and Yanzhou. The rest is up to you, Elder."
Qin Zheng reached out, pulling the Demon Head Great Saber, which emanated a rolling killing aura, out of the ground.
Wang Qingfeng was taken aback and asked, "You want...?"
Qin Zheng turned and calmly said, "Reciprocity is a must!"
With that, he took a step, instantly soaring into the sky, and rushed towards the Demon Race's land beyond Yanzhou!
The Great Jin Dynasty's territory was vast, encompassing thirty-six states.
But beyond the Great Jin Dynasty lay an even more boundless expanse.
The Seventy-two Demon Dens were just a vague, figurative number; in reality, the number of demon dens was countless, impossible to tally.
This was the truth that Qin Zheng learned from Wang Qingquan after becoming a Martial Sage, and it differed from what Zhao Li had told him before.
Regarding Zhao Li's explanation, Wang Qingquan could only smile helplessly and say, "Seventy-two is the limit, and there is still hope."
"But if we tell the people of the Great Jin Dynasty that the demon dens are infinite and countless, wouldn't it be like telling them about 'Spirit Roots,' causing them to lose all hope?"
Qin Zheng silently nodded, and a sense of emotion arose in his heart.
The people of the Great Jin Dynasty lived in a cage of lies.
But it was difficult to judge right from wrong.
At the very least, countless martial artists continued to emerge, and the Great Jin Dynasty did not fall into decay.
The National Guard Martial Sages continued to guard the borders of the Great Jin Dynasty, deterring the threats posed by the demon dens.
And the demon dens that invaded Lingzhou and Yanzhou this time were just three out of the many.
The White Cloud Demon Cavern, the Yellow Rock Demon Cavern, and the Thousand Crane Demon Cavern!
These three demon dens bordered the Great Jin Dynasty's territory and had been causing trouble for over a thousand years.
Although Qin Zheng had slain the three Great Sages, these three demon dens were not limited to just those three Great Sages!
The White Cloud Demon Cavern...
This place is located thousands of miles away from the Great Jin Dynasty.
Towering trees with lush foliage blocked the sunlight from the sky above.
On the damp and gloomy ground, rotting leaves and remains were scattered everywhere.
Bellow!
A heavenly elephant roar resounded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth began to tremble.
Moments later...
Four elephant legs, like towering pillars, trampled over trees, heading straight towards a majestic mountain in the distance.
As they approached the mountain, the number of tall elephant demons gradually increased.
These elephant demons gazed at them with reverence.
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
"..."
The elephant demons respectfully called out.
The giant elephant paid no attention and after a few breaths, its massive body arrived before the towering mountain.
A cave, large enough to accommodate several times its size, also appeared before it.
Taking a step into the cave...
"Was it successful?"
Inside the cave, a man lay comfortably on a large bed.
Surrounding him were thin, fair, and beautiful women, diligently attending to his needs.
"Reporting to the Elephant Lord, everything went smoothly!"
The burly man transformed into a nine-foot-tall man and respectfully bowed as he spoke.
The man on the bed waved his hand slightly, dismissing the attending women.
In an instant, various demonic creatures appeared, including foxes, rabbits, pythons, and elephants, all scattering outside the cave.
"Is that old guy dead?"
Only then did the man sit up and ask.
"Yes, Li Wujie exhausted his strength and died. His head was torn off by the Second Lord."
The burly man replied.
"Hahaha! Excellent!"
The man on the bed burst into loud laughter, then stood up, his eyes flashing with light.
He slowly said, "Those old things in the Thousand Crane Demon Cavern and Yellow Rock Demon Cavern are cunning. Second Lord is straightforward and might be deceived by them."
"Then, you temporarily guard the demon cave, and I'll head to Great Jin immediately to help Second Lord retrieve the remains!"
Without hesitation, he was about to rush out.
He dared not invade Great Jin, but now, to claim the fruits of victory, he couldn't let his foolish brother have it!
This thought flashed through his mind.
But at that moment!
Swish!
A massive figure tore through the air and smashed into the cave from outside.
Thunderous Boom!
The enormous elephant body crashed into the cave, instantly exploding into a pool of blood and flesh.
The Elephant Lord's face turned hideous.
Bellow!
The commander, as he was called, roared and was about to transform.
But two beams of light struck, instantly piercing his heart and head, causing him to explode on the spot!
"How dare you! How dare you!"
The Elephant Lord's eyes turned red with anger, and he roared.
Then, as the two beams of light approached, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the two flying knives imbued with the power of the Primordial Spirit.
At the same time, he took a step forward, instantly appearing outside the cave.
What he saw was a field of corpses.
All the demons outside the White Cloud Demon Cavern were lying on the ground, blood flowing from their seven apertures.
On a hill opposite, a young man in a golden-patterned dark robe stood.
"National Guardian Saint!"
The Elephant Lord roared, his voice filled with rage.
Only a National Guardian Saint, skilled in mental attacks, could have done this silently! In just a few breaths, he had become a lone survivor.
Qin Zheng's face remained calm. After seeing the real owner of the cave emerge, he reached out and grabbed the Demon Head Great Saber.
Then, he took a step forward, instantly sweeping across the land, and appeared before his opponent, slashing down!
The Demon Head Great Saber, having devoured the essence of the Grand Sage's flesh and blood, had metamorphosed into a Martial Saint's Sacred Weapon!
Bellow!
The Elephant Lord roared, his legs stomping on the ground, causing the earth to shake.
Suddenly, he took out two bone clubs from somewhere and faced Qin Zheng's descending slash.
Then...
Swish!
The saber directly cut through the bone clubs and sliced through the Elephant Lord's body from top to bottom.
Thunderous Boom!
A hundred-foot-tall white elephant suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
However, it was split in half, lying horizontally on both sides.
After a beam of light passed by, a demon core emitting a lustrous white light fell into Qin Zheng's hand.
[Discover Item: Elephant Lord's Demon Core, can be refined. Refinement requires 5,000 pounds of virtue. Do you want to refine it?]
[Note: Refining grants the skill Divine Elephant Worldly Scripture]
[Note: You can choose to consume 100 pounds of virtue to obtain a wisp of Spirit Energy]
Qin Zheng turned and took a step, his entire body soaring into the sky. Simultaneously, he silently recited, "Upgrade Skill: Primordial Seal of Emptiness!"
Buzz!
The virtue scroll instantly deducted the required virtue.
At the same time, in Qin Zheng's Spirit Sea, the seventeenth star lit up within his Primordial Spirit.
Immediately after, the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth stars lit up in succession.
After consuming all the virtue, Qin Zheng finally withdrew his mind and turned his gaze towards the distant horizon.
Three demon caves, two left!
