Great Demon Shang Yang - Destroying a City Alone (Part 2)

A cold laugh escaped Shang Yang. Its wings fluttered lightly, and streaks of rain shot towards Huoyun, slicing through the air. In mere moments, despite Huoyun's desperate attempts to resist, it was already covered in wounds. Although both were at the early Taiyi stage, the gap in their strength was like the difference between heaven and earth.

However, even with its body covered in wounds, Huoyun's face showed no hint of regret. It declared resolutely, "How can we allow you to insult our two Majesties! Even if we all die here today, our Majesties will surely avenge us in the future! When that day comes, not a single soul on Qingmang Mountain will be spared!"

Upon hearing Huoyun's words, Shang Yang let out a cold chuckle. "I hope your two Majesties will still have the time to avenge you then. I fear they'll be too preoccupied with their own troubles!"

As it spoke, Shang Yang's expression turned cold. It suddenly channeled its power, and the crisscrossing rain threads filled the sky. Huoyun was instantly shredded into a mist of blood, dissolving into the rain curtain.

In Huoyun City, witnessing their strongest general so easily killed by Shang Yang threw the entire demon army into chaos.

Amidst the pandemonium, someone activated the city's protective formation. Instantly, hundreds of thousands of demons fled the city in all directions, scattering towards various escape routes.

Within the rain curtain, Shang Yang watched this scene with cold eyes, its form dancing silently in the downpour, showing no intention of stopping them.

Demon soldiers fell one by one in the rain, dissolving into the downpour.

After an unknown amount of time, Huoyun City fell silent, devoid of any clamor.

The entire city, spanning a hundred-mile radius, was dead silent.

Seeing this, Shang Yang, the Divine Bird within the rain curtain, finally ceased its dance.

A woman in colorful robes appeared in the rain curtain. She cast a faint glance at the deathly still Huoyun City before transforming into a stream of light and departing.

As for the few demons who had managed to escape, she couldn't be bothered to pursue them.

With the woman's departure, the torrential rain that had annihilated Huoyun City finally began to subside.

However, precisely because Shang Yang had not pursued the surviving demons, the news of Huoyun City's destruction slowly began to spread.

Blackwater City.

The City Lord's Mansion.

Listening to Xi San and Shui Sheng's report, Shen Gui's jaw dropped wider and wider.

"What did you say? Huoyun City was wiped out?"

Nodding, Shui Sheng replied, "Reporting, my lord, yes. According to the information we've received, it was precisely that Qingmang Mountain Demon King Shang Yang, after breaking through to the Taiyi stage, who attacked. It rained down upon Huoyun City, annihilating it in one fell swoop. Even the commander of Huoyun City's demon army, the Taiyi-level Demon General Huoyun, perished at Shang Yang's hands. Most of Huoyun City's million-strong demon army died in that rain, with fewer than one in a hundred survivors."

Hearing Shui Sheng's words, Shen Gui's lips twitched involuntarily.

A single rainstorm killed a Taiyi Golden Immortal and, on top of that, slaughtered a million demons.

This Great Demon Shang Yang seemed to be a ruthless character.

But was this really a good thing?

I was actually planning to make something out of Huoyun City to report back with. Now that you've destroyed it, what am I supposed to do?

Therefore, despite having no prior interactions with Shang Yang, Shen Gui couldn't help but feel a slight resentment towards this Great Demon, who would later become one of the Ten Great Demon Saints.

Waving his hand, Shen Gui said, "Alright, I understand. You may both leave for now. Keep a close watch on Qingmang Mountain's movements and report anything to me immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

Although they didn't understand why Shen Gui suddenly seemed somewhat dejected, since Shen Gui had given the order, Xi San and Shui Sheng withdrew.

Their duty was simply to fulfill their responsibilities.
