Chapter 231: Blood Deficit
Chapter 231: Blood Deficit
In the 7400th year, the Mountain Lord had consumed 113 drops of demon blood. Before him, even the Moonhowling Wolf Demon and the newly advanced Immortal Serpent were overwhelmed by its formidable aura, forced to prostrate themselves. The Mountain Lord's divine abilities had significantly improved.
Remaining Demon Life Span: 87,200 years.
...
Shen Yi watched as the simulation ended, feeling a burning sensation all over his body as if he was on fire, but the improvement was evident.
Initially, Qinghua Madam had only managed to refine around eighty drops of demon blood.
This Mountain Lord had just broken through to the Initial Core Realm, and now it had made a qualitative leap.
This was the characteristic of Demon Body Tempering Martial Art.
It might be a bit clumsy, but it was a fair deal—you get what you pay for.
As the Mountain Lord's patterns faded beneath its skin, Shen Yi got dressed, summoned Hong Yun, and then took out the breath he had casually collected from Yang Qianxiang's little bell earlier.
Following the guidance of the breath, he rode the cloud and disappeared from his original location.
...
At the outskirts of Song Prefecture.
A group of people stood outside the county, waiting. Among them, except for the emaciated Yang Qianxiang, the others were all Crimson Mantle with Black Armor.
Such a large-scale show of force was solely for the arrival of one person.
No one knew how long they had been waiting.
A short, stocky man in black ran over from outside, not holding back his aura. Seeing so many familiar figures, his face changed slightly, "You called me back suddenly, and you all know?"
As the only remaining Golden Bell Demon Hunter in Song Prefecture.
The short man clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with fear that he tried to hide, "I did my best, sending him heavenly materials and treasures, but his time is almost up, and he was heavily injured by the Red-Eyed Demon King. There's nothing we can do, and he's barely hanging on."
As long as the White Rhino Demon King didn't die, it would always be a threat to the Red-Eyed Demon King.
But if the news of its death spread, the impending destruction of Song Prefecture was almost certain.
"We know," Yang Qianxiang nodded.
"You know?" The short man's eyes widened, never expecting such a response. The situation they had painstakingly built over a century was on the verge of collapse.
And the Commander's reaction was this?!
"Don't be so hopeless, think of another way... there's always a solution." The short man was anxious, pacing back and forth, only to be grabbed by Zhang Xuan.
"It's fine now."
Zhang Xuan's expression was complex as he gently comforted his colleague.
The short man stood there, stunned, "What do you mean?"
"The Patrol Commander personally came, purged the demons, and Song Prefecture is now demon-free. We've deployed all our forces to clean up the counties, and so far, we haven't found any news of demons."
Zhang Xuan spoke slowly, and though the words came from his mouth, his eyes also held a hint of disbelief.
"The Patrol Commander... the Patrol Commander..."
The short man staggered back a few steps, thunderstruck. After all, he was a Condensing Core Realm expert, but now he was sitting on the ground, stunned.
This sounded like a story from a storyteller's mouth—in the midst of despair, a celestial being suddenly descended, subdued the demons and villains, and then the gongs and drums sounded, fireworks filled the sky...
This was a mythical legend used by commoners to comfort their families, not something these court officials should be thinking about.
But now, it was spoken by his colleague.
"Everything will get better."
Zhang Xuan reached out to help him up, but the short man waved him off, covering his face with his arm. He sat on the ground, not making a sound, but his body trembled slightly.
Everyone remained silent.
"What's going on here?"
A Demon Cloud descended from the sky, revealing a figure in black robes.
Shen Yi walked into the crowd, puzzled. "Is the Demon King information I requested ready?"
"Reporting to Chancellor Shen... The information you requested is crying on the ground."
Yang Qianxiang coughed lightly and pointed to the man on the ground.
"..."
Shen Yi strolled over and spoke softly, "Cry later, work first."
At this moment, the Demon Life Span was not lacking, but the Demon Blood was in high demand.
The short man froze on the ground, his arm pulled away, and he glared at his colleagues... He quickly crawled up and looked at the young man before him, forcibly suppressing the disbelief in his heart. "Greetings, Patrol Commander."
"No need for formalities. Take me to the other Demon King."
Shen Yi grabbed the man's collar and summoned the Demon Cloud, leaving the Song Prefecture area.
Demons also viewed each other as precious magical herbs.
If something else were to take their Demon Blood, that would be a real loss.
The short man floated in the air like a chick, looking dazed and helpless, his legs shrinking. Only then did he reach out to guide the commander.
...
At the peak of the green mountains and clear waters, hidden beneath dense foliage.
A narrow cave was faintly visible.
Even Jade Elixir Realm Demons disdained to live in such a shabby place.
The short man sighed at the entrance to the cave.
Only he knew that the true Demon King was residing here.
He quickly walked inside.
There, a humanoid White Rhino Demon, weak and frail, leaned against a stone seat. Its body was only as tall as a regular person, even thinner than an ordinary person.
It covered itself with thick animal skin and satin, closed its eyes, and pretended to sleep, a faint smile on its lips.
"Now you're openly delivering food to me?"
A dying Demon King was also the most dangerous time for it.
The slightest disturbance would cause it to fight with all its might, and even the Red-Eyed Demon King would not dare to provoke it at such a time.
"You've worked hard these years."
The short man buried his head, and it was comical to think that if not for this Demon King, Song Prefecture might not have lasted until today.
After speaking, he suddenly raised his head and pointed at the White Rhino without hesitation. "Commander, it's him."
"Who?!"
The White Rhino Demon King had not yet reacted when it suddenly realized that a figure had appeared beside it.
The black-robed youth had already seated himself on the stone seat, his right arm calmly resting on the Demon King's shoulder. Then, with a sudden force...
A cracking sound was heard.
The White Rhino's head slumped softly.
"That's it. You can go now." Shen Yi nodded slightly.
"..."
The short man clicked his tongue and honestly retreated from the cave.
He hadn't thought at all that the White Rhino Demon King would be a match for the Patrol Commander, but he also hadn't expected it to end so quickly.
Geez, it was like slaughtering a chicken.
"What a waste."
Shen Yi glanced at the board.
[Slain Primordial Chaos Realm White Rhino Demon King. Total life span: 13,800 years. Remaining life span: 3 years. Absorption complete.]
He opened his mouth and turned the corpse into Demon Blood.
Fifty-nine drops.
It was much stronger than the Red-Eyed Demon King, it seemed. The Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Cultivation Technique was indeed powerful, allowing the Black Bear to defeat a stronger opponent and beat the older Demon King.
It didn't take much effort anyway, so he considered it a lucky find.
Shen Yi stood up, took the long-handled greatsword beside the stone seat, and put it into his Storage Artifact. He confirmed that the Demon King was so poor that he only had this weapon and a tattered beast blanket left. Only then did he slowly walk out of the cave.
