Chapter 212: Slaying Qinghua Madam
Chapter 212: Slaying Qinghua Madam
After late autumn, the cold winter arrives.
Amidst the harsh winter, a valiant effort is made to turn the tide.
General Jiangan's shadow soul, suspended in the sky, is filled with the howls of demons, and the winter is indeed cold. But the bone-chilling snowstorm surges towards the demons.
Shen Yi does not go alone; he blocks the horde of demons outside of Qingzhou.
He merely stands at the horizon.
Before this tall and slender figure, the demons have two choices: enter or leave, stay within Qingzhou or venture outside. The only difference is where they will meet their end.
The Niu Yao has lost its will to fight and is desperately trying to escape.
Each time it soars through the sky, it is smashed back by a punch from the black-robed figure with a crimson radiance.
It had used its artifact to sneak in, but now its mind is only focused on how to get out.
Bang!
The Niu Yao is smashed back above Qingzhou City once more, and its huge eyes are left with only a daze.
Jiang Qiulan lies quietly on the ground, her Dao Infant returning to the Qi Sea. She is left with only half of her vision, and even this remaining half is obscured by blood, becoming blurry and unclear.
But she still keeps her eyes open, wanting to see the black-robed figure as it soars back.
A faint smile curves her lips.
Standing before her, the person brings an infinite sense of security, as if a sword has returned to its sheath, and she no longer needs to worry about other matters.
"..."
Shen Yi shakes off the bloodstains from his hand.
He feels it should be enough.
He kicks the Niu Yao's head back, forcing it to face him.
Shen Yi's eyes, filled with crimson mist, suddenly turn into vertical pupils, eerie and terrifying.
Qinghua Madam is already exhausted, her will eroded by intense pain. At this moment, a wolf's howl suddenly rings out in her mind, sharp and piercing. She feels her soul violently tremble, and then, uncontrollably, it is drawn out of the demon's body.
Finally, she sees General Jiangan in the distance with her own eyes.
She had thought he was about to perish, but now, she dissipates even faster than his shadow soul!
Amidst the deafening howl that shatters gold and stone, her ethereal figure, like a candle in the wind, quietly disappears from its original spot.
[Slaying the Primordial Chaos Realm Blood Transmuting Demon Bull, total lifespan of 16,000 years, remaining lifespan of 12,000 years, absorption complete]
[Remaining demon lifespan: 20,400 years]
"..."
Shen Yi unconsciously opens his mouth, then coughs lightly, and the huge Niu Yao's head is put into his pocket artifact.
This battle cost him eighteen drops of demon blood.
Anxious to replenish it, he forgets that he is currently being watched by a crowd.
The news of slaying a Demon King with a clear identity will surely reach many ears.
"Hsss, hsss."
As the massive demon vanishes into the sky, the youth also withdraws his Dao Infant, and the sky becomes clear again.
Countless people realize they had forgotten to breathe, and they start panting heavily in unison, creating a comical scene, yet not a single person laughs.
If not for the protection of this Primordial Master, Qingzhou City would have become a living hell by now.
Even now, they are still enveloped by a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Yi descends back into the ruins and extends his hand towards the girl.
"You're amazing."
Jiang Qiulan lies on the ground, her voice weak, but her remaining eye sparkles with brilliance.
This praise has been repeated three times, from Xitai Mountain to Shuiyun Village and now here.
The first time was for Bai Lu, the second time was for the three Demon Lords of Tingyang County, and the third time is for this Demon King, Qinghua Madam.
"I mean, are you okay?"
Shen Yi gives her a speechless look and grabs her collar, pulling her up. His fingertips quickly transmit crimson radiance.
Jiang Qiulan weakly tugs at his sleeve, placing her hand in his palm, and with a slight smile, she says, "Thank you."
As the crimson radiance flows through her.
Her injuries heal swiftly, and the blood and flesh on her beautiful face, blurred by demon energy, are quickly nourished.
General Jiangan lowered his gaze, looking downward.
Perhaps this was the first time the girls of Qingzhou had ever experienced being protected by someone else.
Only after the woman had fully recovered did Shen Yi release her hand.
The red radiance could repair physical bodies, but it was of no use for the shattered Dao Infant.
Both of them cultivated the Heaven-Consuming Core Devouring Technique.
Shen Yi realized that the other's aura was more than twice as weak as hers, probably because she had expended too much cultivation during her breakthrough.
However, she was still young and truly talented, so it shouldn't affect her too much.
In comparison, the Shadow Soul in the sky, which was on the verge of dissipating, seemed to be a bigger problem.
General Jiangan noticed Shen Yi looking at him.
He solemnly loosened his grip on the longsword, and even though he was a Shadow Soul, he habitually lifted the hem of his garment, then bowed in mid-air to express his gratitude.
"Jiangan, on behalf of the commoners of Qingzhou, thanks the Primordial Master for his protection."
"You're welcome, Commander."
Shen Yi withdrew her gaze, unable to understand the thought process of such people. With their lives hanging by a thread, they didn't rush to find a solution but instead indulged in these flowery and meaningless formalities.
However, the other party did play a role.
Shen Yi didn't know many people, but there were a few in Qingzhou City that she knew. If these people died, she would feel uncomfortable.
...
This demon calamity didn't last long, and the only damage it caused was half of the Demon Suppressing Office.
But the commotion it created was the greatest in Qingzhou's thousand-year history.
A Demon King had silently entered the most heavily guarded city, revealing the hideous and terrifying nature of demons to these complacent martial artists.
Even the four great clans, with their Core Formation Stage experts, were as helpless as ordinary people in the face of this calamity, able only to stand and wait for death.
The figure in the black robe left a deep impression on everyone's mind.
"Is the Moonhowling Demon King also dead?"
General Jiangan followed behind Shen Yi, like an unyielding ghost.
"Dead," Shen Yi rubbed her wrist. This was her first encounter with such a tough demon, and she hadn't felt the strain during the initial battle, but now that she relaxed, her entire body felt exhausted to the extreme.
"Is the Three-Headed Demon Lord also dead?" The Commander had been asking questions the entire way.
"Dead."
Shen Yi turned to look at him, her fingers clenching into a fist.
General Jiangan stopped walking and said awkwardly, "Just asking."
"What do you plan to do?" Shen Yi stood with her hands hanging by her sides.
"Anything is fine. I plan to visit the Martial Temple." General Jiangan couldn't hide his smile. With the demons of Qingzhou wiped out, his greatest worry was gone.
The thousand years of pent-up frustration in his heart dissipated.
His body was also gone.
Naturally, he couldn't continue being the Commander.
However, nurturing a Shadow Soul wasn't that difficult. There was already a Demon Subjugation General in Qingzhou who had made preparations.
As long as there was enough Incense Fire Wish Power, You Longtao could quickly become the new Commander.
As for why You Longtao was chosen, it was because General Jiangan had asked many times on the way here, confirming that Shen Yi had no intention of staying in Qingzhou.
"Then go quickly."
Shen Yi stepped into the room prepared for her by the Demon Suppressing Office and slammed the door shut.
Why hadn't she noticed this person's talkativeness before?
General Jiangan walked into the room, "Even if you're unwilling to be the Commander, can you at least take on the title of Acting Commander until You Longtao breaks through to the Martial Immortal stage?"
There was no need to stay in Qingzhou; as long as the demons knew who had protected this city, that was enough.
Shen Yi sat on the edge of the bed, sighed softly, and her pupils gradually turned vertical, "..."
General Jiangan trembled and quickly retreated.
He had personally witnessed how the Bull Demon was slain.
This silent and stealthy attack on the soul was even more domineering than the Moonhowling Demon King.
Although the Shadow Soul was more resilient than ordinary souls, it still couldn't afford to ignore such a method.
