Chapter 341: Kill, Kill, Kill!
Chapter 341: Kill, Kill, Kill!
"Kill!"
"Mere humans, our food, dare to act so brazenly!"
More than three hundred demon soldiers charged forward.
What greeted them was a fierce strike.
Dominant power!
Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique!
Death Radiance!
With three major skills activated, Qi Yuan became ruthless, transforming into a reaper emerging from hell.
Dressed in blood-red clothes, holding a blood-red stick.
With a single blow, four or five demon soldiers were sent flying, their bodies shattered, dead beyond dead.
Qi Yuan's combat skills and battle awareness were terrifying, or rather... fighting had become his instinct.
He charged into the midst of the three hundred demon soldiers as if he were in an uninhabited land.
Wherever his stick fell, demon soldiers would die.
"Too strong!" Zhou Yuan trembled all over.
The strategist's eyes also showed a strange expression: "If he reaches the Wu Ying realm, who could stop him?"
At this moment, the peacock soared into the sky, emitting a green glow, utterly furious.
"If you have the ability, take my strike!"
She was both furious and humiliated.
Because this was the first time she had encountered such an enemy.
Qi Yuan maneuvered within the demon soldiers, slippery as could be.
Her attacks couldn't hit Qi Yuan at all.
She couldn't attack indiscriminately either, as not only would she fail to hit Qi Yuan, but she might also end up killing her own demon soldiers!
She was left with no effective moves!
Otherwise, with her Yao Ying-level strength, she was confident she could tear that despicable man below into eight pieces.
"Argh!"
At this moment, she could no longer tolerate it.
Powerful blood martial energy burst forth at this moment.
The feathers on her back turned into a green curtain of swords, crazily shooting toward Qi Yuan's position.
"Too slow."
Qi Yuan, like a dragon swimming in the battlefield, glanced casually at the peacock. His figure turned, and like a green dragon, he leaped across the battlefield, charging in another direction.
The green sword curtain "whoosh" landed, directly killing five unfortunate demons.
Seeing this, the peacock's eyes widened in rage.
"If you have the guts, don't dodge! Fight me head-on!" the peacock screeched.
She was furious and filled with regret.
Originally worried that Qi Yuan might have other trump cards, she had sent demon soldiers to encircle him, planning to kill him in the chaos.
But who knew, Qi Yuan was too fast and too agile.
Now, she was the one being restricted.
If this continued, they could eventually exhaust Qi Yuan to death, but her demon soldiers would suffer heavy losses.
Now, she couldn't even order the demon soldiers to retreat.
Because Qi Yuan was sticking to the demon soldiers like a leech.
As for threatening that suona player?
She didn't even consider it.
How could a strong person like this be threatened in such a way? Of course, even if she left the battlefield to find Hou Mushi, she wouldn't succeed.
Because, the moment Qi Yuan stepped in here, this area, centered around him, became a cage, making escape impossible.
In the battlefield, Qi Yuan's figure paused. The blood-colored wooden stick in his hand smashed an old ape to death.
He looked at the peacock in the sky, eyes filled with amusement: "An ordinary person wouldn't fall for your provocation. But I'm different. What I enjoy most is giving my enemies hope, and then... crushing that hope."
As Qi Yuan spoke, he stepped on the tusk of a wild boar demon, snapping it directly.
Using the rebound force, he leaped straight into the sky.
The peacock's face lit up with joy: "Today, I'll show you the difference between the Yao Ying realm and the Jade Blood realm!"
The peacock roared.
At this moment, her ultimate move was quickly brewing.
Once it was ready and unleashed on Qi Yuan, he would surely die!
That was her thought.
But the smile on her face froze at this moment.
Suddenly, an extremely fast beam of light flashed.
She had no reaction at all.
A feeling of fullness, a sense of tearing, suddenly filled her mouth.
Before she could realize what it was, a voice reached her ears.
"Next time, don't open your mouth so wide when talking... see, such a thick stick can fit right in!"
Qi Yuan, holding the stick, gave a fierce thrust.
The stick went through her throat, directly piercing into the peacock's stomach.
"Ah!" The peacock screamed, but the sound was unclear.
She was utterly furious inside.
Her ultimate move wasn't even finished yet!
If it had been completed, the opponent would be dead for sure.
But now, with a stick through her, she completely lost the ability to fight back, like a yellow croaker skewered on a bamboo stick.
She was furious and full of regret.
"Too weak... In my eyes, you're no different from those demon soldiers.
No, there's a difference. Your demon blood is a bit more abundant."
With a wave of Qi Yuan's hand, the demon blood within the peacock's body slowly began to separate.
The peacock's eyes widened, her energy dissipating: "If not for your sneak attack, you... would have died today... without a doubt!"
"How laughable." Qi Yuan chuckled, "For the sake of providing me with so much demon blood, I won't shatter your illusion and will let you die with your delusions intact."
Even if the peacock had used her ultimate move, Qi Yuan could have easily suppressed it.
With a press of his hand, one of the three great generals of the demon camp fell.
Seeing this, the expressions of the demon soldiers were either terrified or filled with dread.
For the first time, Zhou Yuan felt fear in his heart.
Looking at these demon soldiers, Qi Yuan in the sky sighed, "If only I had an emotional value system. With them being shocked every day, I could earn so much!"
With that, Qi Yuan landed, hammering down with his wooden stick, killing seven or eight more demons.
At this point, the strategist could no longer sit still: "Go, we must leave quickly!"
The strategist shouted and immediately ran.
Zhou Yuan saw this and didn’t hesitate, running out as well.
As for those demon soldiers, they were already scared out of their wits.
Even a general like the peacock was dead; what could they possibly do to resist? But soon, the strategist's expression froze.
"What is this?"
He suddenly noticed a barrier in front, blocking his escape.
He immediately exerted all his strength, attacking the barrier, but it remained unyielding.
Qi Yuan, watching the fleeing demon soldiers, remained calm: "The moment I stepped into this valley, it was destined that you would all be mere substitutes for my one true love!
Unfortunately, my heart is ruthless; I won't pray to the heavens: Revive, my one true love!"
With that, Qi Yuan, like a demon god, charged into the demon soldiers again.
Sounds of slaughter, cries, and pleas for mercy all blended together.
Not a single demon could withstand even one move from Qi Yuan.
Zhou Yuan roared and charged toward Qi Yuan, his soul force surging, stepping into the Wu Ying realm.
"I’ve already given you my body, help me survive this time!"
"Ahh, can't we just surrender? This guy seems really strong."
"No, it's a fight to the death!"
At this moment, Zhou Yuan completely handed over his body to the remnant soul inhabiting it.
Unfortunately, that remnant soul, which had longed for control of this body, now feared it. It screamed in fright and, like a duck pushed onto the rack, was forced to flee to the underworld.
Today, the suona played with exceptional cheerfulness.
Three hundred demon soldiers all fell under the stick.
Finally, the strategist, seeing Qi Yuan covered in blood in the distance, a god-like figure, sighed, "If the court had heroes like you, there would have been no need for the great migration to the south."
After saying this, the strategist stretched his neck and died.
Holding his stick, Qi Yuan looked at the corpse: "You lacked courage. With me here, why think of migrating south? The real consideration should be ascension."
Qi Yuan looked at the valley, now in ruins, his expression calm, without much joy.
After all, this level of monster-killing was really nothing.
"Indeed, monster-killing games are the best. All those investigation and truth-seeking quests are just too boring."
Qi Yuan sighed.
With a wave of his hand, nearly three thousand drops of demon blood were added to his account.
Not far away, Hou Mushi's face was flushed, panting heavily.
Yes, from playing the suona.
Anyone coming here unaware would have thought he was the one slaying demons while Qi Yuan was playing the suona.
"Sir... you truly are a god of war!" Hou Mushi couldn't help but exclaim.
These three hundred demon soldiers, along with General Peacock, could have easily slaughtered Zhenyang City.
At this moment, his heart was both excited and worried.
Qi Yuan was incredibly powerful.
Having committed such a big act, the demon leader of Mount Shu Yao surely wouldn't sit still and would likely dispatch all the demon soldiers, personally leading the charge to eliminate Lord Qi.
What awaited them would likely be a great escape!
He felt both thrilled and excited, a mix of conflicting emotions.
Qi Yuan looked at Hou Mushi, his expression calm: "Can you still play?"
"Huh?" Hou Mushi was stunned, not understanding what Lord Qi meant.
Was this "playing" referring to the suona or something else?
"I feel like this dreamlike stick is really satisfying to use, so... there's no better time than now. Let's go and wipe out the entire demon camp."
Qi Yuan said casually.
"Huh??" Hou Mushi's eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrong. "Now... go wipe out the demon camp?"
Shouldn't they be escaping first, initiating a grand escape?
Going directly to attack?
Is he joking?
"Yes, but it's a bit tricky. Can you keep playing the suona? What if I'm having a good time killing and you can't keep up?" Qi Yuan looked at Hou Mushi with a conflicted expression.
Hou Mushi's heart was pounding.
He looked at Qi Yuan, dressed in blood-red clothes, and finally nodded firmly, "I can keep playing!"
"In that case, let's go... and exterminate Mount Shu Yao... to the last one."
Qi Yuan held his wooden stick and had a slight smile on his face.
"Alright!" Hou Mushi responded with determination.
No matter what happens, he must follow this battle to the end.
Under the moonlight, in the mountains, the shadows of one tall and one short figure stretched out long.
The wind blew, making the blood-red clothes flutter.
Inside the demon camp, a loud shout rang out, "Who goes there!"
At this moment, Hou Mushi picked up his suona, his expression serious and ready to die.
Today... even if he were to die here, he would probably be remembered in history.
Ahead, the figure in blood-red, like a god of war, spoke in a cold tone, but his voice was extremely gentle: "Little brother, we fight side by side!"
The figure, like a god of war, suddenly rose up.
A blood-red armor covered his tall and upright body completely. The blood-red spikes on his shoulders seemed to flow with blood, looking particularly eerie.
He was like a demon god emerging from the underworld, moving forward silently.
The mountains shook at that moment.
Those blood-red eyes emitted a demonic light.
"Kill!"
Tonight, it was destined to be a night of bloodshed.
Tonight, it was destined that many demons wouldn't see the sunrise tomorrow.
Three thousand demon soldiers... is that a lot?
The enormous blood-red figure crashed into the demon camp.
The slaughter... began.
...
Zhenyang City.
On the city wall, Yang Guang's face was filled with concern, "Zhou Yuan is missing."
"Huh?" An Qiao was slightly stunned, then she also sensed the scent of a conspiracy. "He wouldn't go looking for trouble with Mr. Qi, would he?"
Yang Guang's face showed even more concern, "If I remember correctly, he has a tool that can pinpoint the exact location of people nearby. If..."
Zhou Yuan was unpredictable and capable of doing anything.
It was even possible that he might cooperate with the demons.
"With Mr. Qi's strength, if he doesn't engage in a direct fight and keeps fleeing, unless all three thousand demon soldiers are dispatched, they won't be able to hold him. We need to hurry up and complete our task and bring Mr. Qi back!" An Qiao said seriously.
As long as the mission was completed and they met Qi Yuan, they could leave at any time.
As for the demon soldiers surrounding them, they could easily leave.
Yang Guang nodded, agreeing with An Qiao's words. However, as he looked at the child soldiers and elderly soldiers on the city wall, his expression was a bit desolate, "It's a pity, even if we complete the mission, it won't benefit the people of Zhenyang City. Those demon soldiers..."
Yang Guang's voice was sorrowful and helpless.
After they left, the people of Zhenyang City would still be ravaged by the demon soldiers.
The people in this city were like pigs to be slaughtered.
An Qiao's expression was emotional.
When they returned with the demon beast corpses this time, the reaction of the soldiers made her quite sad.
Especially that county officer who personally came forward to apologize.
She knew that the county officer was still not giving up and hoped to receive help from the Demon Subduing Department of the court.
However... they were not from the Demon Subduing Department of the court and couldn't help the human race in this world.
"Let's leave at dawn tomorrow, complete the mission... and leave." Yang Guang said, "Before we go, let's kill a few more demons and do something for them."
...
"Sir, ahead is Fenghua Cave!" Hou Mushi carefully looked at the man in front of him, his eyes full of reverence.
The scene from last night was still vividly imprinted in his mind.
This man was like a god descending from the heavens.
He charged into the military camp alone.
Facing the encirclement of three thousand demon soldiers, he became stronger the more he killed, like an invincible god of death.
All three thousand demon soldiers died by his hands.
Not even one managed to escape.
After all, Qi Yuan's combat skills were too terrifying.
The three major skills—Dominant Power, Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique, and Death Radiance—were too heaven-defying.
Especially Death Radiance, which was like infinite healing, and the lower his health, the stronger he became.
Among these three thousand demon soldiers, there wasn't a single one stronger than Qi Yuan by a realm. All he needed to do was kill, kill, kill.
The devouring ability from the original body of the Mother of Devouring also allowed Qi Yuan to constantly improve himself in battle.
One could say he became stronger with every kill.
In the slaughter, Qi Yuan also understood the correct way to play this game.
The truth... what is that? It should be all about killing, killing, killing.
Therefore, he came to Fenghua Cave not to complete the mission.
But to take the mission targets away.
Otherwise... if someone else completed the mission, wouldn't it mean he would have to go back? So, the best way was not to complete the mission.
Take the mission targets... and go kill, kill, kill!
The world was so vast, and how many demons were there?
Especially the demons in the northern lands, numbering no less than tens of thousands.
If he could obtain all the demon blood.
His power... would likely soar!
Of course, while this pleased him, those who came along to participate in the mission might curse their fate.
At this moment, Qi Yuan looked at Fenghua Cave ahead, his eyes showing an excited smile: "Seal it! Cover it up!"
He instantly cast a spell to restrain the two auras he sensed inside Fenghua Cave.
Yes, shut their mouths and cover them up.
If they can't hear or see anything... it wouldn't count as knowing the truth or finding the target characters, right? Immediately, the two individuals inside Fenghua Cave, wrapped in darkness, showed expressions of fear and shock.
They struggled continuously, but to no avail.
Footsteps sounded at this moment.
"Yes, it really is these two. Alright, I'll take them with me on my adventures now.
Little Mushi, are you going back to Zhenyang City, or are you going to follow me and play the suona?
Just to be clear, I'm broke right now and won't be paying you." The information he got from his eyes confirmed that the two people wrapped in darkness were the ones he was looking for.
Qi Yuan also stopped thinking.
Otherwise, if he figured out the truth and completed the mission, that wouldn't be good.
Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Hou Mushi's eyes showed a look of joy: "I am willing to follow you, sir!"
