"Take a few people with me to Daxing Village!" Chu Jiang's expression changed. With a flicker of movement, he immediately swept towards Daxing Village.
He suppressed his killing intent to the extreme, forcing himself to calm down.
This demon had left a note, naming them specifically.
Their target wasn't the villagers, but himself. Slaughtering the village was just to enrage him, to make him see this situation and feel helpless.
Within Baishi County, the only ones with this level of intelligence were that group of Goat Demons.
They were naturally fond of playing these kinds of tricks.
"The next one, most likely, will be Daxing Village!"
He had awakened in Daxing Village and killed the offspring of a Pig Demon and that Great Demon Tianxie.
If he guessed correctly, he was walking right into the demon's trap.
If he guessed wrong, Daxing Village would be annihilated.
Liu Ding and Li Dagang, who were following behind, quickly gathered a few people and followed.
But Chu Jiang's speed was simply too fast; he quickly disappeared from sight.
Fortunately, they all knew where Daxing Village was, and everyone began to chase with all their might.
"Ah..."
As Chu Jiang approached Daxing Village, he heard a tragic scream coming from within the village.
BOOM!
Chu Jiang's speed surged again, and he kicked his way into a dilapidated courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, a middle-aged woman was being devoured by a Black-skinned Dog Demon. Despite her struggles, it was useless.
Beside her, a young girl was crying desperately.
"Mother... no..."
The middle-aged woman looked at the girl, wanting to say something, but her throat had already been bitten off. She continuously spewed blood, unable to utter a single word.
This mother and daughter were the very family he had stayed with that night, the Su family mother and daughter.
At the last moment of her life, she saw Chu Jiang and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes, filled with longing.
It was as if she was saying, Save her child.
"Die for me!"
CLANG!
The Blood Sun Saber was instantly unsheathed, and a bloody phantom cut through the sky.
The Black-skinned Dog Demon felt a chill down its spine. It dropped the mother and turned to flee.
"Trying to run? Where do you think you can go?"
The Blood Sun Saber seemed to lock onto the Black-skinned Dog Demon, striking its back and cutting it in half at the waist.
Its entire body was split into two, and the immense power of the blade shattered it into two piles of minced meat that fell within the courtyard walls.
[Void Rank Black-skinned Dog Demon, cultivated for ninety-five years, remaining lifespan thirty years]
Chu Jiang's eyes remained cold. He grabbed Su Yan'er and left the area.
He could sense the dense demonic energy within the village, far more than just this one demon.
If he left the girl here, she might fall victim to the demons again.
A few dozen meters away, in a thatched hut.
A Black-skinned Dog Demon was lying on a cowshed, its movements extremely contorted, letting out constant roars with bloodshot eyes.
Chu Jiang looked closely. This Black-skinned Dog Demon was... moaning at a mother cow. However, the Black-skinned Dog Demon seemed not to hear it.
"Damn beast!"
Chu Jiang grabbed with one hand, his feet glowing, and stomped hard on the part of the dog demon that was charging. The dog demon struggled fiercely but couldn't break free at all.
"Chu Jiang, it's this mother cow's honor to be favored by me. How dare you stop me!" the Black-skinned Dog Demon roared, clearly recognizing him.
"ROAR!"
The Black-skinned Dog Demon felt a sudden chill. It suddenly felt that something important was missing. A pain beyond words swept through its entire body.
Its dog eyes rolled back, almost suffocating.
Its black claws immediately reached down, only to touch a mass of flesh, bringing it to the brink of despair.
"I'll kill you!"
The Black-skinned Dog Demon felt its dog life had completely lost hope and let out a furious roar.
However, Chu Jiang's next step landed directly on the Black-skinned Dog Demon's head.
CRACK!
Puchi!
First came the sound of a head splitting open, followed immediately by the sight of brains splattering everywhere.
The Black-skinned Dog Demon died on the spot, and before its death, it made him feel a special kind of… satisfaction.
[Void Rank Black-skinned Dog Demon, Cultivated for 56 years, Remaining Lifespan: 70 years]
Er Ya buried her head in Chu Jiang's embrace, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and vengeful satisfaction, tears streaming down her face.
She had watched with her own eyes as her only family died before her. An endless despair and pain threatened to consume her.
Master Chu had avenged her, but her loved one was gone forever.
Chu Jiang gently comforted Su Yan'er's emotions with his hand before looking around.
"Roar!"
"Grr!"
"Ugh!"
The Black-skinned Dog Demon's dying screams alerted the nearby Demons, who began to roar ferociously and gather quickly.
Then, An Old Goat Demon with two black demonic markings on its forehead, carrying a giant axe, appeared before several Demons with a detached gaze, looking coldly at Chu Jiang.
"Chu Jiang, I knew it. You'd definitely come. I guessed right."
The Old Goat Demon revealed a sinister grin, seemingly excited by Chu Jiang's appearance.
"Only you, alone. How bold!"
His older brother always said the time wasn't right yet, that they couldn't take revenge and needed to wait, but today, he was determined to kill this guy.
To honor the spirit of his nephew in heaven.
"My nephew was so intelligent, a great talent of our Goat Demon clan. You actually killed him! How dare you, ah..."
"I, will make you pay with your life today!"
Chu Jiang looked at the Old Goat Demon, his eyes narrowing, and laughed wildly, "Not only did I kill your nephew, I'm going to kill you too..."
Chu Jiang set Su Yan'er down and instantly vanished from his spot, appearing behind the Old Goat Demon.
The Old Goat Demon's expression flickered with surprise, and he immediately turned around. A blood-colored long saber was already swinging towards his head. He felt like the sky was filled with bloody shadows.
Hoo!
Two axes were instantly drawn, clashing with the Blood Sun Saber.
A massive repulsive force traveled through his axes, and the saber cut open his chest, revealing his internal organs, which looked terrifyingly black and red.
"Damn it!"
The Old Goat Demon roared in fury. If his axes had been even slightly slower, he would have been pierced through the chest by this bastard, and his life would have been uncertain.
"To be able to block my Blood Saber's first stance is enough for you to be proud of!"
Chu Jiang said calmly, activating the Blood Sun Saber in his hand once more.
"Slash!"
Chu Jiang's footwork was like a phantom. A gust of wind carrying a blade edge that could destroy everything instantly surged towards the Old Goat Demon, intending to crush him here.
"Damn it!"
The Old Goat Demon was enraged. This is our line as Demons slaughtering human martial artists, not you, kid!
"You arrogant fool!"
The demonic runes on the Old Goat Demon's forehead flashed wildly, his aura continuously surging. The axe in his hand, imbued with ten thousand jin of force, smashed towards Chu Jiang's Blood Sun Saber.
"Mountain Breaking Axe!"
The other axe, with domineering force, chopped at Chu Jiang's abdomen.
To his shock, the axe felt like it had struck wrought iron. It only left a faint white mark, not even breaking the outermost layer of skin.
"Are you even human?"
Chu Jiang ignored him, gathering his true qi in his left palm. Golden light shone as he struck the Old Goat Demon's body heavily.
Bang!
The Old Goat Demon felt like his entire body was about to explode. His body flew back dozens of meters, smashing through several courtyard walls into dust, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
