Rampaging Demons
The next day, Yue Qianchou went to Bi Changchun to find out the whereabouts of the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest. After leaving, he flew south on his sword, and Wood Lady Mu bowed to see him off on the island.
Time flies by, Yue Qianchou pushes his flight speed to the limit, flying over the vast Thousand Mile Lake and darting into a dark and unfamiliar place.
A sword-wielding cultivator suddenly intruded into the area, immediately startling the demons and monsters below. Ferocious heads emerged from the jungle, their greedy eyes gleaming, and the sounds of licking lips and swallowing filled the air. For these demons and monsters, human flesh was a legendary delicacy, and they all desired a taste. Knowing they could not catch up, the demons and monsters reluctantly retreated back into hiding.
Some cultivators, possessing considerable skill and intelligence, were slightly startled to see such a brazen individual daring to roam the Demon Ghost Domain, and upon discovering that the newcomer had flown from the direction of Thousand Mile Lake, they immediately retreated obediently. However, there were also quite a few who lacked foresight. Suddenly, a group of ignorant and arrogant individuals sprang forth from below, shouting and chasing after the newcomer, their numbers growing rapidly.
"Bold human cultivator, how dare you trespass into my Demon Ghost Domain! Stop right now!"
"You daring little brat, stop right now..."
"Stop right now, don't even think about escaping..."
"Nobody's allowed to take this from me, I'm determined to have this meat..."
The shouts and cries from behind grew louder and louder. Yue Qianchou glanced back and estimated there were probably over a hundred monsters chasing after him, yelling and shouting that they wanted to eat him. Yue Qianchou's eyes were icy cold, and he gave a cold "humph" without any emotion, continuing to fly at high speed without slowing down.
The commotion in the sky startled more and more strange beings, who chased, chased, chased... Hundreds of monsters were chasing one person, a truly spectacular scene. Those who could jump out to give chase were all those with higher cultivation than Yue Qianchou, and the chase only got closer.
He glanced back coldly, a sneer spreading across Yue Qianchou's face. He made a series of hand seals, and a flash of azure light swirled around his body, flying at high speed alongside him. Suddenly, a whoosh of wind came from both sides, and more than a dozen figures leaped over him, blocking his path in the air, each with a sinister grin.
"You audacious monster, how dare you block my way! Are you courting death?" Yue Qianchou roared, and the hundred cyan flying swords swirling around him stopped flying and immediately formed a rectangle around him, glaring menacingly as they rushed forward with him.
"What a bold brat, daring to venture into the Demon Ghost Domain with a bunch of scrap metal." A monster who looked neither human nor ghost finished speaking and rushed towards Yue Qianchou. The other dozen or so figures were not to be outdone, and they all rushed over, shouting things like "Don't take it... it's mine."
The demons dodged the rectangular sword formation and rushed forward. Yue Qianchou shouted again, "You're courting death!" With a deafening roar, a hundred flying swords exploded, and raging flames burned fiercely. Azure Nether light permeated the heavens and earth, quickly engulfing the demons who had entered the sword net. The demons trapped in the matrix sword net didn't even have time to escape. "Ah..." A dozen mournful screams rang out at once.
After annihilating more than a dozen demons in the blink of an eye, Yue Qianchou continued his rapid flight on his sword, never slowing down from beginning to end. He wanted to take care of some personal matters during this business trip, so he was naturally in a hurry. Just as he emerged from the azure flames, he made a few hand seals, and the flames behind him quickly shrank, transforming back into flying swords that followed him, though it seemed that one was missing.
The hundreds of demons chasing behind were startled by the commotion ahead, and half of them fled in fright. However, the other half continued to pursue relentlessly. It seemed that the temptation of human flesh was indeed great, but no one dared to step forward. They simply chased after them, hoping to find an opportunity to strike.
Just then, a deep, angry shout rang out from afar, the sound rolling in like a thunderclap, "How dare you! Who has trespassed on my territory and committed murder?" Yue Qianchou squinted and saw more than a dozen figures rushing towards him in a formation like migrating geese, their speed terrifying.
"Well, what a king! How dare you call yourself king in front of me? It seems the Demon Ghost Domain is getting more and more unruly." Yue Qianchou let out a series of cold laughs, his speed undiminished as he flew straight towards the approaching person.
The demons chasing after Yue Qianchou immediately perked up, and someone shouted, "The Demon King is here! Everyone, block him and don't let him get away. Offer him to the Demon King for a reward!"
The Demon King who arrived in a V-formation was one of the Demon King they had met at Wood Lady Mu's mountain stronghold, and one who had even presented gifts to Yue Qianchou. This Demon King possessed profound cultivation; before Yue Qianchou even clearly see him, the demon king had already seen through him. The scene was predictable: the Demon King abruptly stopped in mid-air, his eyes wide open, his jaw nearly dropping in shock. Regaining his senses, he anxiously shouted, "Stop, all of you..."
The dozen or so people he brought were all Demon Cultivator at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage, but none of them recognized Yue Qianchou. Upon hearing this, they all stopped in confusion, splitting into two rows in mid-air, lining up to the left and right of the Demon King. The demons behind Yue Qianchou were still excitedly shouting and fighting. After hearing this clearly, the Demon King's body trembled slightly, and he bowed to Yue Qianchou, who was flying towards him, saying, "This little demon, Kui Hu, greets Master Yue."
His men on either side were taken aback. It turned out that this young man was Yue Qianchou. They quickly glanced at the bastards who were shouting for blood and their hearts trembled. They bowed to Yue Qianchou as he flew over and said, "Greetings, Mr. Yue."
Yue Qianchou happened to burst into the two rows of soldiers, finally stopping in front of the Demon King, nearly a hundred flying swords merging into his body. The pursuing demons also noticed something was wrong, stopping a few dozen meters away and exchanging bewildered glances. Yue Qianchou glanced back, then slowly turned back, coldly saying, "Kui Hu, you've seen everything you needed to see! You have quite the nerve! I won't say more. Leave none of these pursuers alive, kill them all without mercy! If even one escapes, go to Shuntian Island and apologize to my master. What are you hesitating for? Why aren't you carrying it out?"
Kui Hu was jolted awake by his final, fierce shout. He instantly realized there was still a chance to salvage the situation and immediately waved his arms to his left and right, ordering, "Kill! Leave no one alive!"
Then, he let out a deafening roar, which immediately echoed from all directions, the long howls rapidly approaching. He was clearly gathering his forces; although the men he brought were highly skilled, facing hundreds of demons, there was a possibility that some might slip through the net. At this moment, how could he dare to be careless? If something went wrong and he had to apologize to the Punishment Envoy, he would rather kill him.
The subordinates on either side understood that this was an opportunity to redeem themselves; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. The Punishment Envoy executions, and there was no justification for it. They all teleported instantly, flashing into the midst of hundreds of demons and slaughtering them wantonly. With their cultivation at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm, once they started fighting, it was like tigers among sheep.
"Demon King, forgive me... Demon King, spare my life... Ah..." A heart-wrenching wail rang out. Kui Hu, however, wore a gloomy face, showing no sympathy whatsoever. These bastards had almost brought him to his doom; how could he not hate them? He wished he could personally tear these troublesome scoundrels to pieces.
Yue Qianchou turned around and coldly glanced at the scene of slaughter behind him, then said in a deep voice, "I have important business to attend to under my master's orders, and there is no time to lose. Kui Hu, you lead the way to the south. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will be killed without mercy!"
"This humble demon obeys!" Kui Hu clasped his hands and bowed deeply, then shouted, "Two of you, come with me to clear the way for the master." At his command, two figures teleported over, forming a triangle with Kui Hu and flying south. Yue Qianchou closely behind on his sword. At this moment, many more people flew in rapidly from all directions, quickly entering the battlefield to join the fight...
