A Thousand Cuts Can't Quell My Hatred

"Such powerful palm strikes. If I hadn't activated my Demonic Mark for protection the moment I did, this attack would have killed me!" the Old Goat Demon said, shakily getting to its feet. This brat will surely become a great enemy to my Goat Demon race, and even the entire Demon race in the future.

To grow this strong in such a short time.

Even he cannot defeat him.

"What are you all standing around for? Go grab that stinking brat for me!" The Old Goat Demon's eyes darted around. I must get a hold of his weakness.

If I can hold her hostage, Chu Jiang will surely be wary.

Upon hearing the Old Goat Demon's command, the other demons instantly roared and lunged towards Su Yan'er.

"I may not be able to kill Chu Jiang, but I can still deal with a little brat like you, can't I?" the Old Goat Demon said, watching the other demons charge at Su Yan'er. He let out a cackling laugh.

The next moment.

Chu Jiang's saber moved. A tempest of wind and saber energy erupted, the Blood Shadow Saber and the Gale Saber intertwining. The demons were shredded by the endless saber light, their bodies falling into several pieces and scattering everywhere.

The last demon had its head severed less than a meter away from Su Yan'er.

[Void Rank Black-skinned Dog Demon, cultivated for seventy-eight years, remaining lifespan sixty years]

[Void Rank Black-skinned Dog Demon, cultivated for seventy-two years, remaining lifespan fifty years]

[Nether Rank Black-skinned Dog Demon, leader of the Black-skinned Dog Demons, cultivated for one hundred and nineteen years, remaining lifespan eighty years]

[Void Rank Goat Demon, cultivated for sixty-five years, remaining lifespan fifty years]

The status panels flipped wildly, a massive amount of lifespan flowing in.

All eight demons were annihilated, not a single one left alive.

It couldn't even be called a fight; it was a one-sided slaughter.

"A bunch of trash!"

The Old Goat Demon cursed. They couldn't even capture a little brat, and the demons within Baishi County were truly pathetic.

They gorged themselves in the human world every day and had even forgotten their basic skills.

"No, I have to run. This guy is too strong, I can't fight him."

"My good nephew, wait until I go back and recuperate, then I'll come back for revenge."

The Old Goat Demon desperately burned the Demonic Mark on its forehead, recovering a sliver of strength. It picked a random direction and began to flee.

"Trying to escape? Did you ask my saber first?"

Chu Jiang pushed off the ground with his legs, leaping into the air with explosive speed. The Blood Sun Saber flared in the air, carrying streaks of blood-red light, sinister and terrifying.

The air whistled as a long blood-red line slashed through the sky.

Blood Saber Third Style, Blood Saber Slash!

"Damn it!"

The Old Goat Demon's face changed drastically. With this saber strike, it actually felt the aura of death.

"Block it for me..."

The Old Goat Demon burned the Demonic Mark on its forehead to nothingness, its aura surging.

It brought its double axes in front of its body.

BOOM!

The Blood Saber and the double axes collided with a world-shaking impact. As the dust settled, the Old Goat Demon looked at its chest. The Blood Sun Saber had pierced directly through its heart.

Cough cough...

Its heart was pierced, nearly suffocating it and making it unable to speak.

However, the Goat Demon race, upon reaching the Grievance Tier, grows four hearts. As long as one heart remains intact, they will not die.

"Young friend, I was reckless this time. I won't seek revenge for this."

"If you let me go, once I return, I will have my elder brother abandon the warrant for your arrest. Life and death are determined by fate, and each must accept their destiny. My nephew was destined to face this calamity."

"What do you say?"

The Old Goat Demon spoke slowly, coughing twice with each sentence.

After all, losing a heart had a significant impact.

Although the Old Goat Demon said this, it didn't think the same way.

Once it returned, it would definitely make this damned brat pay.

It would carve his corpse into dozens of pieces and distribute them to its kin for consumption.

This brat's Blood Essence was very potent.

It would surely taste good.

"You can?"

Upon hearing Chu Jiang's words, the Old Goat Demon couldn't help but rejoice inwardly, though it maintained a respectful facade. This young fool is indeed young; he actually believes such nonsense.

After a while, he'll be called...

Before the Old Goat Demon could even start fantasizing, it felt a searing pain in its chest. The Blood Sun Saber was wildly churning within its chest.

Several organs ruptured.

Seeing the Old Goat Demon struggling desperately, Chu Jiang pulled out the Blood Sun Saber and frantically stabbed it into the Goat Demon's abdomen, creating over a dozen holes in an instant.

"You..."

The Old Goat Demon was filled with rage, unable to even speak. This guy never intended to let it go; he only wanted to torture it now.

The next moment.

Chu Jiang swung his saber again, severing the Old Goat Demon's right leg with one strike.

Then the left leg...

Then he severed the tendons in its hands, and chopped off its arms...

Then he sliced off its skin, piece by piece...

Every time the Old Goat Demon fainted from the pain, Chu Jiang would stomp on it to wake it up, forcing it to endure more torture.

The Old Goat Demon's eyes were filled with hatred and dread.

It just wanted to be released sooner, but it was clear that Chu Jiang wouldn't give it that chance.

"You massacred hundreds of people in Baishui Village, and then came to Daxing Village to slaughter. Even if I cut you into a thousand pieces, it wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in my heart."

Chu Jiang's tone was calm, but the saber in his hand continued to slice off the Old Goat Demon's flesh bit by bit. Each strike was extremely precise.

It caused the Old Goat Demon pain, yet kept it barely clinging to life.

"You group of rampaging demons, one day, I will hunt you all down... leaving none behind!"

From Chu Jiang's words, the Old Goat Demon felt an astonishing will that instilled fear in it. A preposterous thought arose in its mind.

Perhaps, in the future, the demons would be destroyed by this person.

At this point, the Old Goat Demon's thoughts ceased.

"Died so quickly? Only seven hundred strikes, and the head, the head wasn't even cut off..." Chu Jiang was somewhat disappointed. He stepped on the Old Goat Demon's head. This level of retribution wasn't enough to vent his anger.

Su Yan'er looked at Chu Jiang as if she were looking at a demon. His methods were so cruel they were terrifying.

Yet, it gave her a powerful sense of security.

Watching these demons that had ravaged the villages, all of them met a gruesome end in Chu Jiang's hands.

Su Yan'er's suppressed heart felt somewhat relieved.

[Demonic Mark Goat Demon, Grievance Tier demon, cultivated for 230 years, remaining lifespan 90 years]
[Demon Lifespan: 998 years]
[Own Lifespan: 90 years]

The demons that rampaged this time numbered eleven in total, contributing nearly eight hundred years of lifespan to Chu Jiang. The demon lifespan was approaching a thousand years.

While he was overjoyed by such a massive influx of lifespan, he also felt a sense of unease.

Too many people had died.

Over five hundred people in Baishui Village had all met a tragic end, and Daxing Village was basically half destroyed. He didn't know how many people were still alive.

However, after this battle, there should be no more demons for him to kill in Baishi County for the time being.

He had killed a group in Black Tiger Mountain, and another group here.

Even if there were other demons, once the news of Black Tiger Mountain and Daxing Village spread in a few days, the demons still lurking in the deep mountains would surely flee for their lives.

Suddenly.

A brand new message popped up on the status panel.

"Host has killed demons, cumulative demon lifespan has exceeded one thousand years. The system will automatically upgrade, duration is forty-eight hours!"

System upgrade?

Chu Jiang was quite surprised by this message.

He wondered what new functions it would upgrade, which made him a little expectant.
