Chapter 977: Chapter 951: Demon Monsters Swarm Out
Zhuang Qian said, “Oh, is that so? Then how is the Bull Demon King’s old mother?”
“Hmm?”
The few mountain bandits immediately became furious. How could they not hear the sarcasm in Zhuang Qian’s words? To dare insult the Bull Demon King like this was sheer audacity, a death wish.
“Looking for death!” The mountain bandit who spoke earlier roared, wielding his broadsword and charging directly at Zhuang Qian. His broadsword had the momentum to split mountains. After all, he was a mid-stage Fundamental Realm cultivator. With one swipe, even a large rock could be cleaved in two, let alone a living person.
Such a fierce strike was expected to cause a bloody scene, but the next instant left those mountain bandits widening their eyes in shock, their faces filled with terror.
Because Zhuang Qian merely used two fingers to lightly catch the broadsword, creating a heart-stopping scene.
What kind of power was this?
At the very least, only a Mystic Law Realm cultivator could achieve such a feat, right?
In other words, the person in front of them was a Mystic Law Realm cultivator. No wonder he dared to speak so arrogantly and act wildly on Ox Demon Mountain.
Crack—
Zhuang Qian lightly exerted force, instantly snapping the mountain bandit’s broadsword in half. He then casually waved it aside, chuckling lightly as he addressed the dazed bandit: “Now, may I go up the mountain?”
The mountain bandits immediately regarded him as an enemy, their faces a mix of anger and fear as they looked at Zhuang Qian.
Zhuang Qian shook his head and said, “It seems you’re not cooperative at all, so I’ll have to kill first.” Having said that, he flung the piece of broadsword in his hand, sending a cold gleam towards one of the mountain bandits. Although that bandit was also a Fundamental Realm cultivator, he was merely at the early stage, hopelessly weak. There was no way he could evade Zhuang Qian’s flying knife, so he was filled with terror, exclaiming, “No—”
Splurt—
There was no suspense; the half-broken blade pierced directly into the mountain bandit’s heart, penetrating his body and killing him on the spot, blood spurting from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground.
Dead!
The other bandits witnessed Zhuang Qian’s method, and their faces turned pale. How bold, truly bold! To dare openly provoke on Ox Demon Mountain, it was as if he did not regard the Bull Demon King at all.
After a moment of hesitation, the bandits quickly turned and ran up the mountain.
Zhuang Qian did not stop them, as this was exactly what he wanted to see.
Indeed, not long after, two powerful figures swiftly approached from the mountain, followed by dozens of ferocious bandits.
The two leaders included a thickset man with a crew cut and a coarse appearance, and another person dressed in black clothes, embellished with some flamboyance, with purple lips and purple hair, faint demonic qi emanating from his body, indicating he was from the Demon Clan.
In the world, there were the human, demon, and yao races. The Demon Clan could be said to be between humans and yao, basically half-human, half-demon. They exhibited some human traits, some yao traits, and some demon traits, making them rather strange.
However, these were clearly low-end demons. Those with noble blood in the Demon Clan were extremely powerful.
The thickset man was obviously the former leader of Ox Demon Mountain. Two Mystic Law Realm First Layer were angrily charging. With these two leading, the bandits behind naturally exuded ferocity and killing intent.
The leader’s gaze flickered with cold light as he looked at Zhuang Qian, “Who are you, daring to trespass in the Bull Demon King’s domain? State your name quickly.”
Zhuang Qian grinned and said, “Want to know my name? Listen up, my surname is Wo Da, and my given name is Ye.”
“You are—Wo Da Ye?” The leader frowned; he’d never heard of such a figure. Where did he come from?
Zhuang Qian nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, I am your grandpa. What a good grandson, but having a grandson like you, I’d rather drown in the latrine.”
Only then did the leader get furious, realizing he was being mocked: “You’re courting death!”
“No, I’m just here to seek the dead. Soon, you’ll become one,” Zhuang Qian replied.
The leader charged up in anger, his broadsword wielded with earth-splitting force. As he swiped, it was like a long river at sunset, capable of splitting mountains and halting rivers.
Zhuang Qian stood still, unfazed, casually wielding his sword to defend. Thousands of sword rain converged into a sharp edge. With one strike, he knocked the leader’s broadsword out of his hand. The sword’s momentum did not wane and directly pierced towards the leader’s throat.
The leader instantly felt the approach of death, his pupils dilating in sheer terror. He wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
Riiiiip—
The sword pierced flesh, crisp and clear.
The leader’s throat had a bloody hole pierced through it, and he fell straight down.
Seeing this scene, those bandits were all dumbfounded; the formidable leader they revered was slain directly in one move?
Who exactly is this person? How could his power be so overwhelming?
Everyone was stunned, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.
The face of the Demon Clan member also tensed up, glaring at Zhuang Qian with a sullen face, realizing this human was not as simple as he imagined, but incredibly powerful.
However, the Demon Clan member was not intimidated, and shouted: “Human, who exactly are you? What brings you to dare tread on the Bull Demon King’s territory and kill people at Ox Demon Mountain, without regard for us? Dare to challenge Ox Demon Mountain, you’ll meet a bitter end.”
Zhuang Qian laughed: “Haha, didn’t you see me killing people? So, I’m at Ox Demon Mountain for killing. Firstly, for killing, secondly to send regards to your Bull Demon King’s old mother. Today, I’m here to level Ox Demon Mountain, so do you think I need to care about it?”
“Arrogant, human boy, you’re courting death.” The Demon Clan member was furious, it was outright provocation against the Bull Demon King.
Zhuang Qian smirked: “Well, I see the one courting death is you.”
After saying that, Zhuang Qian charged directly at the Demon Clan member, who gritted his teeth and faced him.
But this Demon Clan member was merely at the Mystic Law Realm’s First Layer, not much different from the head bandit. How could he possibly be a match for Zhuang Qian? Intending to kill him directly, Zhuang Qian’s attack was decisive without reservation. With one sword, he was unstoppable, slaying the Demon Clan member on the spot.
Just a Mystic Law Realm First Layer cultivator, in Zhuang Qian’s eyes, was as weak as a chicken, and could be killed with ease.
“Another dead!”
The bandits saw both their leader and the Demon Clan lord killed, and were scared out of their wits.
“Quick, escape to report to the Bull Demon King!”
“Run!”
The bandits were used to bluffing with false bravado and now faced a true mighty force. They had no courage left, only frantic escape was possible.
“Trying to escape? Taste my sword first!” Zhuang Qian sneered, slicing a sword into the air. Instantly, a hundred-foot-long Sword’s Sharpness lashed out, with Sword Qi bursting forth. The sword created a hundred-foot-long ravine down Ox Demon Mountain’s path, with nearly all of the bandits cut down, only a few survived, but they were heavily injured, groaning in agony on the ground.
Having finished all this, Zhuang Qian clapped his hands, now waiting for the Demon Monsters from Ox Demon Mountain to come out.
Soon enough, just as he expected, ten furious figures charged over, the two leading ones had quite strong auras, likely Mystic Law Realm Second Layer cultivators. Half-Demon included, they came with endless fury.
Seeing the scene, those Demon Monsters were even more enraged.
The leading member of the Yao Race shouted loudly, “Bold, to make havoc at Ox Demon Mountain, you’re courting death, quickly surrender your life.”
With the command, the leading Yao Race member rushed forth, the others also charged at Zhuang Qian simultaneously, the joint power of ten Demon Monsters could not be underestimated. Especially with two Mystic Law Realm Second Layer cultivators.
Regardless, Zhuang Qian with his strength didn’t necessarily fear them.
However, Zhuang Qian pretended to be scared, grinning: “You guys always bully with numbers, dare to a one-on-one duel. Better to avoid the current danger, I’m out.” Saying so, he turned and fled.
The Demon Monsters, in extreme anger, chased after him without further thought.
“Human boy, you think you can escape so easily; daring to kill at Ox Demon Mountain, leave your life here today.” The leading Yao Race member roared, not willing to let Zhuang Qian get away.
Ten Yao Race members pursued at full speed, yet Zhuang Qian’s pace wouldn’t let them catch him easily.
Soon, they chased a mile away to a mountain hollow and Zhuang Qian stopped running.
As soon as Zhuang Qian stopped, the ten Demon Monsters surrounded him to prevent his escape.
The leading Yao Race member pointed his sword at Zhuang Qian, snorting coldly: “Run, you think you can escape? Today, offer your life as a sacrifice. Actually, the blood of a Mystic Law Realm cultivator does have some use.”
Zhuang Qian irritatingly grinned: “Hey, don’t be too happy too soon, alright. You really thought I couldn’t outrun you? I merely chose not to run. Did you naively think I stopped because I was losing? Because I couldn’t outrun you? Naive, Demon Monsters are just Demon Monsters, not as smart as us humans.”
With Zhuang Qian’s words, the faces of the ten Demon Monsters became grim.
What did he mean?
“Not good, we’ve fallen into an ambush, despicable human, damn it.” The leading Yao Race member realized.
Zhuang Qian said, “At least you’ve got some brains, congratulations, you guessed right.”
In the dark, the three including Tangyu emerged, positioned across three sides, forming a killing zone within the mountain hollow.
