Chapter 63: Massacre
Chapter 63: Massacre
Hearing Li Hao’s words, the demons were momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
Although they found Li Hao somewhat peculiar and not quite like a typical Demon Exterminator, his age was still evident. Even if he were a top-tier monster, how strong could he possibly be?
There were over twenty Formed Great Demons here. In the demon race, only those at the Divine Wanderer Realm could assume human form, while those at the Fifteen Li Realm could fully transform, completely concealing their demon bodies.
"Brat, are you scared out of your mind? Even that old man Yue Shuhong wouldn’t dare to show us any disrespect!"
The Serpent-bodied Seductive Woman giggled.
"So, who is Tiger Robe Immortal?"
Li Hao asked again.
Seeing her words ignored, the seductive woman’s eyes flashed with irritation. She flicked her snake tongue and was about to step forward.
"What do you want with Tiger Robe?" the Giant Bear suddenly interjected calmly.
"Nothing much."
Li Hao twirled the blade in his hand. "I just need to borrow his head to honor my uncle’s Heroic Souls."
The Giant Bear felt that his caution was unnecessary. He had thought Li Hao was here to deliver a message. Now, it was too much trouble to care. He muttered, "Eat him."
He was addressing the other demons.
Hearing this, the seductive woman darted toward Li Hao, her face breaking into a seductive smile. "Come, be a good boy and come into my mouth."
Demon aura spread around her as she opened her massive jaw, her alluring face distorting.
Her Charm Technique could affect even those at the Soul Succession Realm, driving them to crawl into her mouth like mindless puppets.
But a dark flash suddenly streaked through the air.
Half of her blood-red mouth was sliced off, flipping backward and falling to the ground with a neat cut.
Blood spurted out, splattering the ground.
The amusement in the other demons’ eyes froze. The hunched, emaciated old man who had been hopping toward Li Hao halted, staring at the young man in shock.
The Demon Slaying Blade in the young man’s hand had vanished.
A black blade hung in the air, then shot out like a dark shadow, slicing through the air in a swift arc.
In an instant, the heads of several Great Demons were severed, without even a chance to react!
The sudden change was too swift, beyond their comprehension.
"Since you won’t talk, I’ll just kill all of you and make a sacrificial altar", Li Hao murmured to himself.
As he spoke, the black Demon Slaying Blade, still hovering in the air, didn’t stop. It shot out again at lightning speed.
"Fifteen Li Realm!"
"He, he’s some kind of monster?!"
The demons were jolted awake, staring at Li Hao in horror. They scattered in panic, trying to evade the Demon Slaying Blade, but their movements were no match for its speed.
Control Object for Forty Li wasn’t just 2.5 times faster than Fifteen Li; it was a complete dominance in both power and speed!
It was like the difference between someone throwing a stone twenty meters and someone throwing it a hundred meters—the disparity in arm strength was obvious.
Moreover, they hadn’t reached the Fifteen Li Realm and couldn’t Body Flight. Some Great Demons had already chosen to abandon their physical bodies and flee with their Divine Souls, hoping to possess other bodies later.
The seated Giant Bear’s expression changed. It rose to its feet, its massive body towering like a small building. It fixed its gaze on Li Hao, trying to discern the young man’s true identity.
Fifteen Li Realm? How old is this boy?!
It didn’t let its subordinates continue to be slaughtered by Li Hao. It suddenly attacked, spewing a jet of black flames that transformed into a black fire dragon in mid-air, lunging at Li Hao with bared fangs and claws. This, too, was at the Fifteen Li Realm.
Li Hao glanced up, having already noticed this bear demon’s strongest aura. However, compared to him, the difference was negligible.
Swoosh!
Divine Soul power enveloped the blade, splitting the fire dragon in an instant and striking the Giant Bear’s head.
However, the Giant Bear’s skull was incredibly hard. The blade only sliced in half a foot before getting stuck, unable to penetrate any further.
Li Hao took a step, his figure moving as if by teleportation to stand before the pained bear demon. In the bear’s suddenly widened, terrified eyes, Li Hao raised his fist and punched out with force exceeding millions of pounds.
The impact, magnified by the power of controlling objects, sent the entire body of the Giant Bear crashing into the stone behind it, shattering it and sending the bear flying back several meters to collide with its cave entrance.
Blood spurted from its throat, and the Giant Bear was filled with horror. It possessed innate divine strength and was known as the True God of Great Strength.
Yet, the power this young man unleashed was terrifying even to it.
How could such a small, flesh-and-blood body contain such brutal strength?!
Li Hao merely glanced at the bear demon, then raised his hand and waved. The Demon Slaying Blade, which had been embedded in the bear demon's head, was pulled out and flew away with a dark glow as Li Hao scanned the surroundings.
The fleeing Divine Souls had not even managed to escape a few miles before the Demon Slaying Blade caught up with them.
On its own, the Demon Slaying Blade could not harm these Divine Souls, but it carried Li Hao's Divine Soul power, which was enough to split them apart!
Screams of agony echoed from all directions, some cut short as the creatures fell to the ground.
The terrifying mountain, where over twenty Great Demons had gathered, was now left with only the bear demon.
The rest of the Great Demons either had their bodies split open or fell limp, their Divine Souls dissipating a few miles away.
A gentle breeze blew through the forest, carrying the thick scent of blood to the bear demon's nostrils, making it feel suffocated.
For the first time, the bear demon realized that the mountain it lived on could have such an unbearable smell, causing its stomach to churn and giving it the urge to vomit.
Fear so intense it made it want to vomit!
"Y-You are a Heavenly Master?!"
As the young man slowly approached, the bear demon's eyes were filled with unhidden fear. From just a single punch, it knew that even at the Fifteenth Li Realm, it was no match for this youth.
The gap was unimaginably large!
It now suspected that this young man was a master who had returned to youth.
"Among the demons I just killed, was there a Tiger Robe Immortal?"
Li Hao stopped in front of the bear demon, slightly raising his head to look at the enormous Great Demon, which was still sitting on the ground like a small building.
The bear demon immediately understood that it was Tiger Robe who had provoked this terrifying youth, and that he was here for revenge.
"Tiger Robe..."
It felt resentment in its heart, and its thoughts raced. Clenching its teeth, it said, "Tiger Robe is not here; it's in the north."
"The north?"
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, casting a skeptical glance at the bear demon. "There are many more demons out there. You'd better not lie to me."
The bear demon's expression changed, and it quickly replied, "I am not lying to you. Although Tiger Robe is from the Blackwind Mountains, it's clever and capable, so it was sent to the north."
"Why the north?"
"We plan to ally with the north to capture Cangyu City. It was sent there to assist", the bear demon panted, hiding the identity of Red Eyebrow Daoist.
Demons in the north?
Li Hao was taken aback. The Demon Suppression Bureau's intelligence reported nothing significant about the north; it had always been peaceful.
"How many demons are in the north?" Li Hao asked immediately.
"About the same as here."
"Why are you attacking Cangyu City? Do you know what will happen if you invade Dayu?" Li Hao shouted.
The bear demon inwardly sighed bitterly. Why do you demon slayers hunt demons? Isn't it because you pick on the weak? Who would have thought that Cangyu City would have such a monstrous youth?
Of course, it couldn't say that. It could only show a look of being forced into a corner and said, "We are demons, but we only do this to survive, just like humans eat livestock..."
Li Hao's eyes turned cold.
The mention of eating stirred the killing intent within him.
"Is it just for food?" Li Hao suppressed his killing intent, staring at the bear demon, trying to gather more information.
Feeling Li Hao's killing intent, the bear demon's heart trembled. It tried to use human logic, speaking up when it was weak:
"Everything in the world exists to survive, including us and humans. We haven't done anything wrong, have we?"
"Who cares about right or wrong? I only ask you, is attacking Cangyu City just for food?" Li Hao said, suppressing his anger.
The attack on Cangyu City was led by Red Eyebrow Daoist. The bear demon had heard some other reasons, but it couldn't tell Li Hao now, or how could it continue to reason?
"Unless it's for survival, we wouldn't take such risks."
The bear demon now seemed like a Confucian scholar, continuing to discuss the greater principles with Li Hao: "The heavens nurture all things, and all things have the right to survive, don't they?"
Li Hao took a deep breath and asked again, "What does Tiger Robe look like? Is it a Tiger Demon?"
The bear demon was taken aback, clearly realizing that the human in front of it wasn't listening to its reasoning, which made it feel a bit panicked: "Yes, Tiger Robe is a Tiger Demon, having practiced for nearly a thousand years."
"Good."
Getting the information he wanted, Li Hao nodded slightly.
Before the bear demon could react, Li Hao suddenly leaped up and punched it in the forehead, the force penetrating and destroying its brain.
The bear demon's mouth opened slightly in shock and disbelief, its eyes gradually losing their light as it fell to the ground with a thud, like a boulder rolling over.
Discussing right and wrong with a demon?
Li Hao had no patience for that.
Besides, his own position was more important than right and wrong!
Surrounded by countless bones and skeletons, how could he tell the bear demon:
You're right, you didn't do anything wrong.
Who cares if you're right or wrong, I'm human!
