Chapter 68: Thunderbolt Radiance, the Power of an Arrow!
Chapter 68: Thunderbolt Radiance, the Power of an Arrow!
Suddenly, a strange occurrence took place!
Both men and the demon's faces turned grim in an instant.
Before they could even think, several more dark shadows, like sharp arrows, pierced through the air and into the cave.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was like a blossoming firework display.
One by one, the toad demons were viciously smashed against the stone walls deep within the cave, exploding into clusters of bloody petals.
"Xu Capture Chief! Let's get out of here!"
Upon witnessing this terrifying scene, Liu Shiyeh's pupils constricted, and a sense of foreboding filled his heart.
Without regard for the Toad Sovereign's presence, he immediately turned and spoke to Xu Weisan, "Let's go!"
Xu Weisan nodded hurriedly.
At this moment, it was clear that these toad demons had been thrown into the cave by an enemy of the Toad Sovereign.
If they didn't leave quickly, they might get caught in the crossfire, which wouldn't be worth the risk.
The Toad Sovereign's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he watched the two men hastily preparing to leave.
However, he calmly said, "There's a small path in this cave that leads outside. I apologize for the inadequate hospitality. Please leave first, and I will visit you soon to offer my apologies in person!"
Liu Shiyeh forced a smile and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need for such formality, Toad Sovereign."
At the same time, he urged Xu Weisan to hurry along the small path leading out of the cave.
Xu Weisan immediately displayed his lightfoot techniques, swiftly carrying Liu Shiyeh away and disappearing into the depths of the cave.
By the time they had left, only a few breaths had passed since the first toad demon had been thrown in.
"Hmph! A human!"
The Toad Sovereign let out a cold snort and turned his gaze towards the outside of the cave.
At this moment, no more toad demons were being thrown in.
He was curious; who in Mo Xu Mountain would dare to oppose him? Could it be that the mother bear had gone mad and lost her sanity? However, even if it was her, to dare to attack him directly, he would make her taste the bear paw today!
The Toad Sovereign's eyes turned cold with anger, and his mind was filled with caution as he carefully stepped out of the cave and looked outside.
Here, in a swampy area of Mo Xu Mountain, miasma filled the air.
The instant he stepped out of the cave, a surge of deathly crisis, unlike anything he had ever experienced before, flooded his mind.
Without a moment's hesitation, his body reacted instinctively, his legs swelling with power, and he leaped into the air.
A streak of light suddenly appeared, resembling a meteor descending from the heavens!
Boom!
At that very moment, a thunderous roar reverberated through the wilderness.
What just happened?!
What was that thing?!
The Toad Sovereign roared in disbelief.
Suddenly, his body uncontrollably transformed into its true form, and he fell to the ground.
He tried to steady himself, but it was as if he had lost all sensation in his body.
The Toad Sovereign looked down and realized that everything below his abdomen had vanished, leaving only his upper torso intact.
A sense of shock washed over him.
When did this happen?!
Hadn't he just dodged it?!
Boom!
The upper torso fell to the ground.
However, the innate resilience of the demon race kept him alive, and he maintained his consciousness.
He looked towards the cave entrance and saw that it was gradually collapsing amidst the rumbling.
A pool of blood and flesh lay at the entrance, right where he had been standing moments ago.
That was his lower half?
The thought surfaced in the Toad Sovereign's mind.
Just then, a figure holding a large bow and carrying a quiver on his back slowly came into view.
"Who are you?"
The Toad Sovereign was bewildered and didn't recognize the person before him.
His mind was filled with questions.
These questions even overshadowed the anger he should have felt.
Qin Zheng's eyes turned icy as he looked down at the Toad Sovereign, whose lower half had been blasted off by his arrow. "Where is Liu?"
At these words, the Toad Sovereign was stunned, and his heart filled with rage!
So, this person was after Liu, his enemy!
He had been caught in the crossfire, an innocent victim!
The Toad Sovereign's mind was filled with curses and profanities.
The intense mental activity stimulated his blood to flow faster, and his vitality rapidly diminished.
Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed as he discerned the Toad Sovereign's thoughts and calmly said, "After devouring so many lives, it's time for you to die."
He shook the Ghost Head Saber into his hand and slung the large bow over his back.
Qin Zheng pressed the saber's tip against the Toad Sovereign's head, as if a slight force would be enough to pierce the skin and penetrate his brain.
The Toad Sovereign snapped out of his daze, his eyes wild with anger and the impending threat of death.
He didn't want to die!
He had just made a deal with Gao Wusheng!
If he could just wait for seven more days, he would undergo a transformation and become the true mighty demon of Heixu Mountain!
He could even venture deeper into the Muste Mountain Range and join the ranks of the demon kings!
His future was so bright, yet here he was, facing death!
All because of this human before him!
His large eyes fixed on Qin Zheng, and he laughed maniacally, "You want to go after Liu?"
"I'll tell you, they just left. If you want to chase after them, go ahead!"
"But can you kill them?"
"He's Gao Wusheng's man!"
"Quanyang Gao Family, you're a member of the Human Race. You should understand the weight of these four characters more than I, a demon."
"Do you dare to kill him? Hahahaha!"
"I'll also tell you that we demons in Mo Xu Mountain can feast on human flesh without even descending from the mountain, all because of Gao Wusheng!"
"He delivers a batch of humans to us every month, ensuring we never go hungry for human meat!"
"I'll even tell you that in seven days, at midnight, he'll sacrifice the entire population of Black Goose City to cultivate his shadow soul technique!"
"At that time, he'll let us demons descend into the city and feast for three days and three nights!"
"I've told you all this! But do you dare to kill him?!"
"If you dare to confront Gao Wusheng, you're as good as dead!"
"You..."
Whoosh!
Before the Toad Sovereign could finish his sentence, a flash of blade light suddenly appeared.
In an instant, the remaining half of his body was split vertically in two, and he perished.
"Noisy!"
Qin Zheng calmly sheathed his blade and immediately expanded his spiritual awareness to its maximum.
Amidst the air filled with demonic aura, he carefully searched for the human scent, peeling away the layers like unwinding silk from a cocoon.
After a few breaths, Qin Zheng turned his gaze towards the cave, half of which had collapsed from his arrow. He took a step forward and followed the trail.
As for the humans here, he had already taken care of the remaining demons earlier, ensuring their temporary safety.
At the same time, several miles away from this place, at another cave entrance...
Xu Weisan carried Liu Shiye on his back, using his lightfoot techniques to swiftly leap and run towards the direction outside Mo Xu Mountain.
Both of them wore solemn expressions, not uttering a word.
The sound from earlier, like a thunderclap, had startled them, and although they didn't know what had caused it, the destructive power was evident.
What kind of grudge had the toad incurred to provoke such a direct attack?
They didn't know if it was a human or a demon.
However, judging by the commotion, the toad was likely dead.
This thought weighed on their minds, and Xu Weisan's steps quickened.
If it was a human, being discovered collaborating with demons and even providing humans as food for demons would likely infuriate them, leading to retaliation against the two of them.
If it was a demon, then the two of them were like two pieces of juicy meat running for their lives, and there was no guarantee that the demon wouldn't chase after them.
In this situation, Xu Weisan felt like he had pushed his lightfoot techniques to the extreme, his movements as swift as a shadow!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came from behind them.
Xu Weisan's face turned grim, and he leaped back with a quick step, narrowly avoiding the arrow.
But right after, an unexpected human figure appeared before him.
A palm strike landed on Xu Weisan, causing him to fall to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Shiye, who was on his back, naturally fell with him, and he immediately started trembling and wailing in pain.
"Qin Zheng?!"
Xu Weisan covered his chest, his mouth full of blood, and stared at the person before him in shock.
Hearing his disbelieving voice, Liu Shiye endured the intense pain and lifted his head to look at the person.
When he saw Qin Zheng's cold and indifferent face, his pupils suddenly contracted.
This little executioner had only left Black Goose City a few days ago, how could he have undergone such a drastic change?!
He had come here, perhaps...
He didn't dare to think any further, and with great effort, he stood up, a false smile appearing on his face. He said, "So it's Young Master Qin!"
"Xu Capture Chief and I came to Mo Xu Mountain to investigate the disappearances around Black Goose City, and I never expected to run into you here."
A trace of ridicule appeared on Qin Zheng's face. "Wasn't it you who was drinking with that toad just now?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shiye's smile instantly vanished, and his entire old face turned gloomy.
"So, you know everything? It seems you've killed that toad."
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Qin Zheng, as if trying to discern the information he wanted from Qin Zheng's expression.
Unfortunately, Qin Zheng's face remained cold and unchanging, without a hint of emotion.
But this also conveyed a message.
Liu Shiye heaved a long sigh, and his gloominess turned into helplessness.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Since you've seen the demons covering this mountain, you must know the threat facing Black Goose City."
"The High County Magistrate had no other choice but to propose this method, allowing these demons to stay in the mountains and not hunt down humans or harm the human cities."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"This is a desperate measure, and the High County Magistrate had good intentions."
He coughed, spitting out blood as he spoke to Qin Zheng.
His words were filled with helplessness, and he looked like a feeble old man, evoking pity.
However, Qin Zheng paid him no heed and took a step forward, reaching out to gently palm the back of Liu Shiye's neck.
Liu Shiye immediately fainted.
There was no need for unnecessary words when facing death.
Qin Zheng held Liu Shiye with one hand and turned to look at Xu Weisan, saying, "Do you walk on your own, or do I carry you?"
Xu Weisan's face was filled with complexity, as he naturally understood what Qin Zheng meant.
But he couldn't help but speak up, "Qin Zheng, do you know how much disaster you're bringing upon yourself by doing this?!"
"You're going to die!!"
