Chapter 229: I Am the Red-Eyed God
Chapter 229: I Am the Red-Eyed God
After capturing the Howling Moon Demon King and using demonic blood to feed the Flood Dragon until it reached the Demon King level, Shen Yi's physical power alone was now far beyond what ordinary demons could withstand.
With one punch, he sent the bear demon's head deep into the mountain. He then pulled it out and delivered another crushing blow.
"This humble one... I am a God... You damned beast..."
The old bear demon had both eyes destroyed, and in its intense pain, it desperately tried to struggle to its feet. But every time it rose, Shen Yi's whip-like leg sent it crashing back to the ground.
His fists rained down like a violent storm.
"Speak up, I can't hear you."
Hearing the indifferent voice by his ear, the black bear opened its blood-filled maw and croaked, "I am—"
A pale arm shot out from beneath the inky black sleeve and pierced the bear's lower jaw, then shattered its tongue.
"What are you?"
"Ao!!!"
The bear demon wailed in agony. The arm that had just withdrawn now tore apart half of its skull.
It was the Red-Eyed God...
It wore exquisite armor, its fur a vibrant shade of red.
It stood proud and majestic like a divine warrior.
Yet now, it could only lie helplessly on the ground, unable even to get up.
Shen Yi didn't use any other means, nor did he touch the Abyssal Spring at his waist. His fists never stopped for a moment.
Until his arms grew sore and his whole body was splattered with thick, viscous blood, he slowly straightened up from the bear's corpse, and the entire mountain seemed to be tottering, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.
The wet, dark shirt came into the sight of everyone at the foot of the mountain.
The young man stood atop the massive bear corpse, his figure minuscule, but the oppressive aura he exuded left everyone breathless.
"..."
He paused for a moment, silently gazing down at the corpse beneath his feet.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he stored the corpse away in a spatial treasure tool.
Turning, he began to walk down the mountain.
"This..."
Yang Qianxiang hovered in the air. During the battle, he had felt that there was no opportunity for him to intervene. Now that the demon was defeated, he was even more stunned than before.
A disciple of the Martial Temple, a Yin God cultivator.
Where was the Yin God?
All he had seen was a humanoid demon who, in a terrifying manner, had smashed the Red-Eyed Demon King's head into a bloody mess of bone and flesh.
This Red-Eyed Demon King, sitting in the middle, had simultaneously suppressed the Town Magic Division and another Demon King.
It was truly domineering and fierce.
Yet in front of the Inspector, it was as helpless as a child, unable to fight back.
It was suffocating for those who watched.
...
At the foot of the mountain.
The toppled statue, the overturned incense tables, broken wood, and shattered stones littered the ground, creating a scene of utter devastation.
Shen Yi walked up to the group, and a thick scent of blood permeated the air.
"Inspector!"
Zhang Xuan fell to one knee, his fists clenched in a respectful salute.
He was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
The scene he had just witnessed completely shattered his preconceived notions of Yin God cultivators.
It wasn't just the Mixed Element Sect Masters who could inspect the Nine Provinces.
As long as one cultivated body-tempering techniques alongside their cultivation, Martial Immortals could do it too!
Based on Shen Yi's performance, Zhang Xuan even felt that even in a physical confrontation, a Mixed Element Realm cultivator might not be a match for the Inspector.
"Heh... heh..."
The common folk were terrified, their heads bowed to the ground. They didn't even dare to look up, their whole bodies trembling.
The earlier mountain-shaking events, in their eyes, were no different from a battle between immortals from legends.
The Red-Eyed God, who they had to worship day and night, had only left them with one miserable scream after another.
Until that middle-aged man in black armor knelt on the ground.
The title of Inspector was not one that ordinary people could address casually.
The people of the Four Counties had long ago abandoned their useless fantasies.
Time and again, they had watched helplessly as their loved ones were taken away to the kitchens, only to be served up on plates later, and those figures with cloud-patterned ink robes never appeared. It had made them face the harsh reality.
Now, had these adults they had longed for truly returned?
"Quickly organize a team and comb through the Four Counties again to ensure that no demons are left behind."
Shen Yi nodded, signaling for the other to rise.
No matter how experienced Madam Qinghua was, it was impossible for her to be perfect.
Moreover, the Yin God was too powerful now, and she found it challenging to control him. Coupled with the lack of incense wish power to sustain her, she couldn't stay out for long.
Upon hearing this, the people lying on the ground felt their bodies go weak, and their arms could no longer support their heavy bodies. If not for the pungent smell of blood that shocked them, some would have broken down and wept uncontrollably.
It wasn't some other demon invading their land; the one before them was the real Grand Inspector of the Town Demon Corps, leading his troops to reclaim the city that had fallen to the demons.
Compared to these ordinary folks, Zhang Xuan was in no better state.
What did he mean by combing through the Four Counties again?
Did that mean that the remaining Four Counties and over a hundred counties had already been visited by Grand Inspector Shen?
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Zhang Xuan suppressed his shock and quickly bowed in agreement.
Next to him, Yang Qianxiang slowly opened his eyes. His already gaunt appearance, coupled with his trembling movements, made him look like a frail old man.
"Yang Qianxiang, the General of Songzhou, pays his respects to the Grand Inspector." He bowed.
"I, Yang Qianxiang, have failed in my duty to protect Songzhou. Please punish me, Grand Inspector Shen," he said, kneeling with a thud.
The ease with which the Grand Inspector had resolved the demon disaster filled Yang Qianxiang with excitement and a sense of pain. If only he had spent the wasted time cultivating the body-tempering technique to break through to the intermediate stage of Martial Immortal...
Perhaps Songzhou wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
"I don't care about that."
Shen Yi shook his head. He had joined the Town Magic Division less than a year ago and knew nothing about their rules of punishment.
If he didn't understand something, he didn't bother with it.
He would bring the news back to the headquarters, and those who knew better would handle it.
Of course, if he disregarded those rules and went by his own judgment, based solely on Shen Yi's perspective.
Jiang Yuanhua faced two demon kings and nearly lost all of Qingzhou. This old man's cultivation was not as high as Jiang Yuanhua's, but he managed to hold on to half of the state, so he probably wasn't negligent in his duties.
"First, get to work and, by the way, gather the demon catchers. Compile the information about the other demon king, and I'll come to get it later."
Shen Yi summoned the demon cloud again. The demon disaster in Songzhou was over, but his work was not yet done.
"Your subordinate understands."
Yang Qianxiang looked up, a thought suddenly occurring to him.
Why did he feel that Grand Inspector Shen wasn't here to inspect Songzhou at all?
The Grand Inspector didn't seem to care much about the work of the Town Demon Corps in Songzhou.
Yang Qianxiang watched as Shen Yi rode the demon cloud away.
It was a long while before he retracted his gaze and turned to look at the excited Zhang Xuan. "You call this... a basic understanding of body tempering?"
After working together for so long, he had never realized that their Grand Inspector had such a lofty tone.
"That's not what I said."
Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched. How would he know that Grand Inspector Shen was humble to such an extent?
