Chapter 341: Slaughter!
Chapter 341: Slaughter!
"Kill!"
"Mere humans, how dare you be so bold against us, your food supply!"
Over three hundred demon troops charged forward.
Meeting them was a brutal strike.
A domineering force!
Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique! Death Radiance! With three skills unleashed, Qi Yuan showed no mercy, becoming a grim reaper from the depths of hell.
His blood-red robe and blood-red staff were a fearsome sight.
In one strike, four or five demon soldiers were sent flying, their bodies shattered beyond recognition, dead beyond dead.
Qi Yuan's combat skills and awareness were terrifying, or perhaps... combat had become his instinct.
He charged into the midst of three hundred demon soldiers, moving with unparalleled ease.
Each swing of his staff claimed the life of a demon soldier.
"Too strong!" Zhou Yuan trembled all over.
The strategist's eyes also revealed a peculiar look: "If he enters the Martial Hero Realm, who can stop him?!"
At this moment, the peacock soared into the air, her body radiating green light, and she was filled with rage.
"If you have the ability, take my strike!"
She was furious and embarrassed.
This was the first time she had encountered such an enemy.
Qi Yuan moved among the demon soldiers with slippery agility.
Her attacks couldn't land on Qi Yuan.
She couldn't strike freely, as she might not only miss Qi Yuan but also accidentally kill her own soldiers!
She was unable to unleash her full strength!
Otherwise, with her Demon Hero Realm power, she was confident she could tear that annoying human to shreds.
"Ahhhh!"
At this moment, she couldn't hold back any longer.
The powerful Blood Martial Aura burst forth.
The feathers on her back transformed into a green sword curtain, frantically shooting towards Qi Yuan's position.
"Too slow."
Qi Yuan, who was moving like a dragon on the battlefield, glanced at the peacock with a faint smile. With a swift turn, he seemed to transform into a green dragon, leaping over the battlefield and heading towards another location.
The green sword curtain swooshed down, directly slaying five unfortunate demons.
The peacock's eyes widened in fury.
"If you have the guts, don't hide! Face me head-on!" the peacock roared.
She was both angry and regretful.
Initially, she had been concerned that Qi Yuan might have other tricks up his sleeve, so she sent the demon soldiers to surround him while she seized the opportunity to kill him.
But to her surprise, Qi Yuan's speed was too fast, too agile.
Now, she was the one being restricted.
If this continued, they might eventually wear Qi Yuan down, but her own demon soldiers would also suffer heavy casualties.
At this point, she couldn't even order her soldiers to retreat.
Qi Yuan stuck to the demon soldiers like an incurable bone tumor.
As for threatening the horn player? She didn't even consider it.
Such a powerful warrior would never succumb to such threats. Of course, even if she left the battlefield to find Huo Mushi, it wouldn't go as planned.
Because from the moment Qi Yuan stepped into this place, the entire world had become a cage centered around him, making it impossible to escape.
Qi Yuan's figure paused for a moment on the battlefield. With a wave of his blood-red staff, he smashed an old ape demon to death.
Looking up at the peacock in the sky, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Ordinary people wouldn't fall for your taunts.
But I'm different. I love giving my enemies hope and then... crushing it."
As Qi Yuan spoke, he stomped on a wild boar demon's tusk, shattering it with the recoil.
Using this force, he leaped into the sky.
The peacock's face lit up with joy: "Today, I'll show you the difference between the Demon Hero Realm and the Jade Blood Realm!"
The peacock roared.
At this moment, her ultimate move was rapidly brewing.
Once it was ready, slamming it onto Qi Yuan would ensure his demise!
This was her plan.
However, her smile froze.
Suddenly, an extremely fast beam of light flashed by.
She had no time to react.
A sensation of fullness and tearing suddenly emanated from her mouth.
Before she could realize what was happening, a voice reached her ears.
"When you speak, don't open your mouth so wide... Look, even such a thick staff can fit in."
Qi Yuan held the wooden staff and thrust it forward.
The staff went down her throat and pierced straight into the peacock's stomach.
"Ah!" The peacock roared, but no clear sound came out.
She was filled with rage.
Her ultimate move wasn't even fully prepared! If it had been, Qi Yuan would have undoubtedly died.
But now, with the staff piercing through her, she had lost all ability to resist, like a small yellow fish on a bamboo skewer.
She was furious and full of regret.
"Too weak... In my eyes, you're no different from those demon soldiers.
No, there is a difference. Your demonic blood is a bit more."
With a wave of Qi Yuan's hand, the demonic blood slowly peeled away from the peacock's body.
The peacock's eyes widened in shock, her spirit dissipating: "If it weren't for your sneak attack... today... you would have undoubtedly died."
"How ridiculous," Qi Yuan chuckled, "Considering you've provided me with so much demonic blood, I'll let you keep your illusions and die with your regrets."
Even if the peacock unleashed her ultimate move, Qi Yuan could easily suppress her.
With a downward press of his hand, one of the three generals of the demon camp met her end.
Seeing this, the demon soldiers' expressions turned to fear and awe.
For the first time, a chill ran down Zhou Yuan's spine.
Gazing at the demon troops, Qi Yuan sighed in the sky, "If only I had an emotion value system, they'd be shocked every day, and I'd earn a lot!"
As he spoke, Qi Yuan landed on the ground and struck with his wooden staff, instantly claiming the lives of seven or eight demons.
At this moment, the strategist could no longer sit still. "Let's go, we must leave now!"
The strategist roared and hurried to escape.
Zhou Yuan, witnessing this, didn't hesitate either and ran outside.
As for the demon troops, they had already been demoralized by the slaughter.
With a powerful general like Peacock dead, what could they do to resist? But soon, the strategist's face froze.
"What's this?"
He suddenly realized that a barrier had appeared ahead, blocking his path to escape.
He hastily exerted all his strength to attack the barrier, but it remained unmoved.
Qi Yuan, observing the fleeing demon troops, remained calm. "When I entered this valley, it was destined that you'd only serve as my white moonlight's appetizer!"
Unfortunately, my heart is ruthless, and I won't pray to the heavens: 'Revive, my white moonlight!'"
As his voice fell, Qi Yuan charged into the midst of the demon troops like a demonic god.
Shrieks of slaughter, cries for mercy, and pleas for forgiveness blended into a chaotic chorus.
Not a single demon could match Qi Yuan in a single bout.
Zhou Yuan, his soul surging, suddenly broke through to the Martial Hero Realm.
"I've given you my body, help me survive this time!"
"Ah, can you please stop? Please spare me, this kid seems pretty strong."
"I can't, it's either you or me!"
At this moment, he completely surrendered his physical body to the remnant soul residing within.
Unfortunately, the remnant soul, which had so desperately craved control of this body, now cowered in fear. It let out a ghostly wail and fled to the netherworld like a duck being forced into a cage.
Today's horn music was particularly cheerful.
Three hundred demon troops became fallen souls under the wooden staff.
In the distance, the strategist observed Qi Yuan, drenched in blood, his demeanor akin to a demonic god. With a calm expression, he said, "If the court had heroes like you, we wouldn't have been forced to relocate to the south."
After speaking, the strategist bowed his head and met his end.
Qi Yuan, gripping his wooden staff, looked at the corpse, "Your courage is too small. With me here, there's no need to relocate. We should be thinking about ascending to the heavens."
Qi Yuan gazed at the valley, now a ruin, his expression calm, without any overt joy.
After all, a slaughter of this magnitude was not particularly impressive.
"As expected, the game of killing monsters is the best. All that investigation and truth-seeking is too tedious."
Qi Yuan sighed.
With a wave of his hand, nearly three thousand units of demonic blood were collected.
Not far away, Huo Mushi's face turned red, and he panted heavily.
Hmm, he was playing the horn.
Those who didn't know the situation might think he was slaying demons while Qi Yuan played the horn.
"Lord, you truly are a war god!" Huo Mushi couldn't help but exclaim.
These three hundred demon troops, along with the powerful general Peacock, were enough to decimate Zhenyang City.
At this moment, he felt both thrilled and worried.
Qi Yuan was too powerful.
This time, he had committed such a significant act.
The demon leader of Shu Demon Mountain would surely be unable to sit still. He would dispatch all his demon troops and personally lead them to annihilate Lord Qi.
What awaited them was likely a great escape!
He felt both stimulated and excited, his thoughts in disarray.
He strode forward silently, like a demon god emerging from the underworld, causing the very mountains and rivers to tremble.
His blood-red eyes glowed with an otherworldly light.
"Kill!"
This night was destined to be a bloody one, and many demons would not see the sun rise tomorrow.
Three thousand demon troops—was that a lot?
The massive blood-red figure charged into the demon camp.
The slaughter had begun.
...
Zhenyang City.
On the city wall, Yang Guang's face was filled with worry. "Zhou Yuan is missing."
"What?" An Qiao was slightly taken aback, but she soon caught a whiff of conspiracy. "Do you think he's gone to cause trouble for Mr. Qi?"
Yang Guang's worry deepened. "If I remember correctly, he has an item that can pinpoint the exact location of people around him.
If..."
Zhou Yuan was unpredictable and capable of anything, even collaborating with the demon race.
"With Mr. Qi's strength, if he doesn't engage in battle and keeps running, unless all three thousand demon troops are deployed, there's no way to stop him.
We must complete the task quickly and take Mr. Qi away!" An Qiao said earnestly.
Once the task was completed, they could meet with Qi Yuan and leave at any time.
Even if they were surrounded by the demon troops, they could still leave easily.
Yang Guang nodded in agreement with An Qiao, but as he looked at the young and elderly soldiers on the city wall, his expression turned somber. "It's a pity that even if we complete the task, it won't benefit the people of Zhenyang City. Those demon troops..."
His words were filled with melancholy, and his voice carried a sense of helplessness.
After they left, the people of Zhenyang City would still suffer at the hands of the demon troops.
The people in this city were like pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
An Qiao's expression softened.
This time, as they returned with the bodies of the demon beasts, the reaction of the soldiers made her heart ache.
Especially the County Sheriff, who personally came forward to apologize.
She knew that the Sheriff hadn't given up and still hoped to receive help from the Demon Suppressing Bureau in the imperial court.
"Early tomorrow, let's leave, complete the task... and depart," Yang Guang said. "Before we go, let's kill a few more demons, as a favor to the people here."
...
"Sir, the Windflower Cave is ahead!" Huo Mushi carefully observed the man ahead, his eyes filled with reverence.
The events of the previous night were still vividly imprinted in his mind.
This man was like a divine being descended from the heavens.
He had single-handedly charged into the enemy camp.
Facing the siege of three thousand demon troops, he grew stronger with each kill, like an invincible god of death.
All three thousand demon troops perished by his hand, unable to even escape.
After all, Qi Yuan's combat skills were too terrifying.
His domineering power, Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique, and Death Radiance were all too heaven-defying.
Especially Death Radiance, which allowed him to heal infinitely, and the lower his health, the stronger he became.
Among these three thousand demon troops, there was no one on par with Qi Yuan's realm. He only needed to keep killing.
The Devouring Original Body of Mother of Hunger further empowered Qi Yuan in battle, constantly enhancing his own strength.
It could be said that the more he killed, the stronger he became.
Amidst the slaughter, Qi Yuan also realized the correct way to play this game.
The truth... what was it? It was to kill, kill, kill.
Therefore, he had come to the Windflower Cave not to complete the task but to... take the target person away.
Otherwise, if others completed the task, wouldn't he have to return? So, the best solution was not to complete the task.
Instead, he would take the target person... and go on a killing spree!
The world was vast, and the demon race was numerous, especially in the Northern Region, where their numbers exceeded tens of thousands.
If he obtained the essence blood of all the demons...
His strength would likely skyrocket!
Of course, he was excited about this prospect, but those who had come with him on the task might not be so thrilled.
At this moment, Qi Yuan looked ahead at the Windflower Cave, a smile of anticipation on his face. "Shut up! Hide!"
He instantly cast a spell to bind the two auras he sensed inside the Windflower Cave.
Yes, mouths shut and people hidden.
No sound, no sight...
If they couldn't perceive the truth or find the target person, so be it.
Instantly, the man and the demon inside the Windflower Cave showed expressions of fear and shock, struggling futilely.
Footsteps approached.
"Yeah, it's them. I'm taking them on a journey.
Little Stone, are you returning to Zhenyang City, or following me to play the horn?
Let me be clear, I'm broke, so I can't pay you a salary."
The two figures wrapped in black cloth were indeed the ones he was looking for.
Qi Yuan stopped thinking.
Otherwise, if he figured out the truth and completed the task, it wouldn't be good.
Huo Mushi's eyes lit up with joy upon hearing Qi Yuan's words. "I wish to follow you, sir!"
