Chapter 210: Chapter 153: As the Setting Sun Draws the Bow, It’s Time to Slay Demons and Eliminate Evil_2

"Fellow Daoist, are you helping the Sanqing Taoist Sect?"

"No, I want to kill them myself."

Qing Rui shook her head slightly, her tone was the distinctive dullness of Plant Spirits, lacking emotional fluctuation.

"Wait until I swallow a million Blood Food at the ferry, wrap around tens of millions of Green Vine and sweep across a thousand miles. By then, the Sanqing Taoist Sect will have nowhere to hide. You just watch, and if anyone dares to make a move, I’ll kill them."

Another madman.

Jin Yuzhi recalled how the Penglai Vine’s Grotto Heaven was also destroyed in ancient times.

Qingcang, with the Ba Snake as his son, destroyed three Grotto Heavens in a single throw, and then drew the Devil Ancestor (Immortal) to return from the Void amidst the heavenly tribulation.

Moreover, because of their Plant Spirits heritage, the Penglai Vine Clan was quite rare, likely meaning this individual had lost all his kin.

"Why not join forces against the enemy?"

The fox woman, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Regardless of whether the Heavenly Girl will act, a single descendant of the Sword Control Sect is enough for you to deal with."

"Are you from the Qingqiu royal family?"

Qing Rui gave the fox woman a glance, and the fox woman nodded, "Indeed, I have come for the sake of the Sky Fox Clan’s Saint Heir."

"He’s dead."

"I know. May I ask if Fellow Daoist could inform me of the location?"

"I cannot."

Are all these Plant Spirits so single-minded?

The fox woman’s face showed a brooding look; this was why she did not wish to reveal her identity.

Tushan Yun, or rather, having reassumed the identity of Tushan Demon Emperor, was well aware that her status was of no help.

The differences between demons were sometimes even greater than those between humans and demons.

The opposition of humans and demons was possible only because the Human Race was large enough. Since Qingcang’s time, it collectively became a match for the entire Jianmu Devil Sea, to the point that even the Devil Clan had accepted the human term for demons.

In that way, it was actually a sign of the strength of the Human Race because they needed the other’s designation to maintain a false solidarity.

That Demi Immortal from the Human Race took things for granted, just as they regarded all non-humanoids as demons. She was the Devil Emperor and the Fox Clan’s Devil Emperor, not the Devil Emperor of the entire Devil Clan.

Letting them listen to her was as inconceivable as asking a human prodigy to obey a demon.

"Fellow Daoist really won’t say?"

Yu Ni’s eyes were cold and severe, while Qing Rui nodded silently with a blank face.

Boom!

The top of Cui Feng Mountain suddenly exploded, and from amidst the dust, a giant python appeared.

Millions of vines spreading across the mountain shot up into the sky, entangling the hundred-yard-long python, then the giant python spat out sword light, breathed out a mist, and severed the vines.

The python had reached the Seventh Level, fulfilled the Sixth Level, and had the battle strength of the Thirteen Level Heavens, possessing Divine Skills.

The Green Vine also reached the Seventh Level, fulfilled the Seventh Level, and had the battle strength of the Fourteenth Level Heavens, possessing Divine Skills.

In their struggle, the moment their aura was disclosed, the victor was already decided.

As prodigies of the Devil Clan, there was no difference between being fulfilled and having Divine Skills among them; each had their unique Divine Skills and pursued perfection.

The Green Vine transformed into a giant thousand-yard python and flung Yu Ni away, after which a golden-winged roc suddenly appeared, grabbed Yu Ni, and flew away into the high skies.

The former, not as adept at high altitudes, could only abandon the chase.

A hundred miles away, the golden-winged roc and the Qing python transformed back into human forms.

Yu Ni’s expression was as dark as it could be, but no roar came out because snakes lacked the ability to vocalize, and even in human form, they did not like to speak loudly.

The fresh blood flowing from between his clenched fingers indicated a burning rage.

Suddenly, a thread of Divine Thought arrived—it was from Yu Ni’s subordinate leader of the wolf pack and also his protector.

Yu Ni absorbed the Divine Thought, then a look of astonishment appeared on his face. The several dozen wolf guards he had sent out had all lost their life force.

There were mortals daring to openly surround and kill his wolf guards and hang their heads on the walls of a city.

Still incensed from the previous humiliation, he said with murderous intent,

"How bold! Mortal soldiers dared to surround and kill wolf guards."

He had just taken two steps when Jin Yuzhi coldly said, "Only this once, next time I will only pass on the message, but if you wish to slaughter, you may try."

With that, she once again transformed into a golden eagle and soared high into the sky.

"Body of an eagle, heart of a mouse."

Yu Ni glanced once and then transformed into a streak of blue light and left.

Tushan Yun tugged at the corner of her mouth and then found a place to meditate. She needed to wait for the right moment.

At the ferry, in the main tent of the military camp.

Jiang Jucai returned victorious, holding a wolf head high, causing the whole ferry and the Nanchun Army to be shaken.

The name of the demon calamity spread throughout the land, and hundreds of thousands of civilians fled north. But now, Jiang Jucai was the only one who killed demons, thus greatly boosting his reputation, and he had already become a prominent figure.

Jiang Jucai entered the commander’s tent; the cheering outside was non-existent, as the generals and Commander Song Ziyi inside the tent were all very silent.

The Nanchun Army only chanted slogans nominally to gather the people’s hearts, and the higher-ups did not intend to provoke these demons.

Commander Song Ziyi frowned and said, "Why disobey military orders?"

Jiang Jucai replied without submission or arrogance, "The demons attacked the troops, I had to act."

"Then why did you kill it? It was enough to repel the demon. What if other demons come for revenge after you killed it?"

A general who disliked Jiang Jucai raised the question, prompting nods from the others.

Before they could continue to press the issue, Jiang Jucai glared fiercely, took a half step forward, and said, "If I don’t kill it, how do I explain to the hundreds of brothers who died, and what do I tell the civilians who came to support the Nanchun Army? The demon calamity must be eliminated, and the court must be informed!"

His murderous aura silenced everyone; among those present, only a few had truly led troops into battle, while the majority were scions of noble families.

"Commander, grant me a thousand armored soldiers, and I can settle the demon calamity within a five-hundred-mile radius of the ferry."

Jiang Jucai bowed to the commander, his gaze unwavering, "Demons are also made of flesh and blood, fifty armored soldiers can kill one, and according to the fleeing civilians, there are no more than a hundred demons. Eliminating the demon calamity will win the hearts of the entire Nanshui civilians for the commander, and a great cause can be achieved!"

Demons were not impervious to blades and spears, and he was unaware of the more powerful demons. But as long as demons could be killed by blades and spears, Jiang Jucai felt he should do something.
