Resentment

The blood-colored sword qi advanced relentlessly, slicing through the Dog Demon leader's diamond-hard iron head in the horrified gazes of the crowd, continuing its trajectory towards Wang Yunqi.

Seeing this, everyone present was stunned, unconsciously swallowing hard.

How could this sword qi possibly be this strong!

Even a master at the eighth level of Martial Apprentice wouldn't be able to break the Dog Demon leader's defense, right?

Wang Yunqi's pupils also shrank suddenly!

The terrifying level of this sword qi was simply outrageously exaggerated!

A powerful Dog Demon leader had just been killed like that?

But as Wang Yunqi was thinking, a streak of sword light flew rapidly towards him, and a head soared into the sky.

After killing Wang Yunqi, the sword qi flew nearly a hundred meters in the void before slowly dissipating.

The Dog Demons in the city, seeing their leader fall, all let out a mournful roar, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at Xiao Chen, their eyes full of hatred.

But seemingly quite wary of Xiao Chen's strength, these Dog Demons only bared their teeth in place, not daring to come forward and attack.

Xiao Chen glanced at the dense, endless Dog Demon horde gathered around him, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Although most of these Dog Demons were only at the seventh level of Demon Apprentice, he could instantly kill them one-on-one, and he could easily abuse them ten-on-one, but there were thousands of them here.

If so many Dog Demons attacked together, even if he was strong, he would be exhausted to death.

Of course, he could easily escape, but behind him were hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

If he retreated, Bear Martial City would never see the lights of ten thousand homes again after today.

For a moment, Xiao Chen hesitated, not knowing how to choose.

Ding! The system has issued the quest "One Against a Thousand." The host needs to help Bear Martial City resist the demon disaster and kill three hundred Iron-Headed Dog Demons. After completing the quest, the host will receive the reward: God-Rank Sword Art: Primordial True Demon.

Primordial True Demon: The host's strength will be terrifyingly enhanced within a quarter of an hour, unleashing combat power far beyond usual, but after a quarter of an hour, the amplification effect will disappear, and the host will enter a weakened state for two hours!

Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang out, and a golden virtual panel appeared in front of Xiao Chen, with the quest content written on it.

Xiao Chen glanced at it and was immediately stunned.

No more blind boxes this time?

This reward was very good; it was a sword skill he craved.

And it was a God-Rank sword skill. Sword skills were extremely precious, and even Yellow-Rank ones were hard to come by. He didn't expect the system to give him a God-Rank one directly.

This was simply an unexpected surprise!

The blind box stage was a test for the host. If the host chose incorrectly, the system would be completely shut down. Now that the host has passed the preliminary assessment, he has entered the next stage.

The corner of Xiao Chen's eye twitched.

So the previous part was testing him?

Fortunately, he had chosen the correct answer, or else wouldn't he be screwed now?

"System, what are the consequences of not accepting the quest or not completing it?"

This is confidential and cannot be disclosed. The host only needs to follow his heart and choose.

Xiao Chen became vigilant upon hearing this.

This system was a sly old fox.

It had secretly assessed him before without even informing him.

If he didn't complete this quest, there would probably be some punitive measures again!

However, it was really a bit difficult to withstand the attacks of thousands of Iron-Headed Dog Demons and kill three hundred of them, and he wasn't confident!

But turning his head to look at Liu Sanji, who was lying on the ground, barely breathing, and those old soldiers, Xiao Chen's eyes gradually became firm.

Damn it.

What's the big deal about dying?

That old thing Liu Sanji wasn't afraid!

What was he afraid of!

"System, I accept this quest."

Ding! Quest accepted successfully. Please complete the quest as soon as possible!

After accepting the quest, Xiao Chen glanced at the surrounding Dog Demon horde, took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he raised his sword to start killing.

"Stop!"

Just then, a stern shout suddenly came from not far away.

Xiao Chen was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw a majestic-looking middle-aged man leading several young martial artists walking over aggressively.

The middle-aged man was surrounded by a terrifying martial aura, and even from a distance, Xiao Chen felt a huge sense of oppression.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

This person was actually a Martial Master Realm!

The young martial artists beside the middle-aged man also had divine light hidden within their eyes, their auras imposing, clearly all experts at the eighth level of the Martial Apprentice Realm!

Xiao Chen's expression turned cold, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

This group of Bear Martial City martial artists clearly possessed astonishing strength, fully capable of resisting the Demon Clan, yet they chose to hide when the Demon Clan was slaughtering the city.

Shameless!

And what was even more chilling at this moment was that this group was staring at Xiao Chen with angry faces, as if the ones who had breached the city and killed people were not the Demon Clan, but Xiao Chen.

"Little brother, these people are from the Demon Suppression Office of Bear Martial City. The middle-aged man leading them is Zhao Tiangang, the director of the Bear Martial Demon Suppression Office, a Martial Master Realm expert of terrifying strength."

"The demon suppression soldiers around him are also quite strong. If they were willing to take action, the Demon Clan would at least be wary, and might give up slaughtering the city out of fear of casualties. It's a pity that these people are selfish and only care about their own interests, completely disregarding the lives of ordinary people."

"Little brother, you must be careful. Your actions have broken their unspoken rules with the Demon Clan, and they may cause you trouble!"

The garrison commander glanced at Zhao Tiangang and the others with disgust, walked to Xiao Chen's side, and said in a low voice.

Zhao Tiangang and the others walked up to Xiao Chen with gloomy expressions, staring at Xiao Chen indifferently, "Who are you? Who allowed you to interfere in the affairs of my Bear Martial City?"

Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Zhao Tiangang then looked at Liu Sanji and the others lying on the ground, "Come, kill these old fools who offended the Demon Clan, and apologize to the Demon Clan!"

"Zhao Tiangang, do you think killing a few wastes will be the end of this matter today?"

At this moment, a young man from the Demon God Hall walked forward, gnashing his teeth, "The Demon Clan adults are very angry. In addition to this sword cultivator and all the civilians in the city, your Bear Martial City must also hand over thirty martial artists to compensate for the Demon Clan's losses."

Zhao Tiangang's expression changed drastically, "Thirty martial artists? This... isn't that too many? Also, eating all the civilians in the city is not in accordance with the rules!"

His Bear Martial City only had seventy-odd martial artists in total, and thirty would account for almost half of them.

And he hadn't expected the Demon Clan to kill all the civilians. In the past, when slaughtering cities, they would at least leave one-tenth of the population to reproduce.

This was also an unspoken rule between the Demon Clan and certain important human figures, much like leaving the roots when collecting medicinal herbs so that they could be harvested again in the future.

But now, the Demon Clan actually wanted to eat all the civilians in the city, which was like draining the pond to catch all the fish.

Hearing this, some civilians hiding in the dark to watch the battle also looked at Xiao Chen with a hint of hatred.

Originally, they had a one-tenth chance of surviving, but now it was all over!

It was all because of the ghost-masked teenager in front of them.

If he hadn't been so meddlesome!

They would still have had a glimmer of hope, but now it was all gone!

Of course, more civilians were still very grateful to Xiao Chen.

After all, in this world, there were bad people with the hearts of wolves and the lungs of dogs, but there were also some good people who understood reason.

"Too much? The Demon Clan lost a leader, and my Bear Martial Demon God Hall lost a hall master. How is only asking you to hand over thirty martial artists and eat all the civilians in this city too much?"

"Blame this sword cultivator for being meddlesome!"

The Demon God Hall youth said sinisterly.
