Chapter 355: Chapter 261 Heavenly Ruined Thunder Flash

"Where are you hiding? Come out, come out, come out quickly..."

The cold, harsh voice, amplified by inner strength, reverberated through the frosty valley, echoing far and wide.

Kill, kill, kill, following the fox demon’s demon qi, traversing over mountains and ridges, slaughtering all the way, how many demons have been killed under the sword, long forgotten count.

Tie Dan only realized that when he came to his senses, he had already ventured deep into Kan Country’s territory.

Even Tie Dan hadn’t expected that there would be so many monsters in Kan Country, endless, simply endless.

As he penetrated into the country, all the towns and villages he passed had turned into demon nests and demon caves.

Everywhere were bones, everywhere were lost souls, the air was perpetually shrouded in a stench of decay, a rusty wind, thick clouds obscuring the sun and moon, with layers of icy rain falling from time to time, landing and encrusting the zombie skeletons with faint icy blood crystals.

It was as if he had walked into a hell of frosty cold, as if the world had devolved into a fleshy demon cave. Continuing to travel northwards, Tie Dan hadn’t seen a living soul along the way.

Something’s wrong, something’s really wrong.

He grew up on the ice plains.

Was Kan Country ever this cold?

The wind began to blow again, cold as knives, snow and rain mixed together.

He couldn’t stop, a brief pause and the accumulating ice would cover the traces of fleeing demons. The demon qi was already so near, the fox relying on its Nascent Soul Realm, was tirelessly burrowing through earth and escaping frantically, it was already being chased so hard it ran out of breath, couldn’t escape much further.

Tie Dan remained unfazed, continuing to drive his inner strength, bracing the wind and snow rushing forward, and amidst the gradually heavy snowflakes, he saw from afar a village.

Demon qi soared into the sky, snow and wind surrounded, ghostly flames flickered, five-colored flames rose, it was another demon nest, another demon cave.

The fox must be hiding in there.

Tie Dan licked the ice on his face to quench his thirst, paused slightly, and stood on a hill overlooking the demon nest, taking a brief breath.

Most demons in the Central Plains don’t form groups.

The stronger the demon, the more they relied on their own brute force, acting alone. Whether man, beast, spirit, demon, immortal god, they all hunted and preyed to augment themselves.

And the physical strengthening speed of demons is fast, consumption is also high, they get hungry quickly, so there’s no habit of raising livestock, any blood food is eaten directly, then they go hunt for new ones.

Moreover, hugging together, the demon qi would soar to the sky, too conspicuous, easy prey for a passing immortal to wipe out. So unless they had undeveloped young to raise, those demons would never dare to group together.

But the situation in Kan Country was different, as Tie Dan swept through, he discovered that those demons coming over from North Pole Ruins were surprisingly able to cooperate and build bases for warmth, like the Human Clan.

Such demon nests and caves, Tie Dan had destroyed three or four along the way, all were places where demons had usurped human castles, relying on human fortifications to expand their bases.

Some were as small as a shanty, fencing off a place with a fence, usually three or four little beast-like monsters serving a humanoid demon fetus, living in clusters.

At first, Tie Dan thought those little monsters were war beast demon pets raised by the demon fetus, but he later realized they weren’t, because the traces on the corpses showed they weren’t of the same kind, and they would cooperate in tasks, strictly hierarchical, even trying to corral captured cattle and sheep human males and females for food, not consuming them all at once.

Even from humans’ meals in the nests, it showed they wanted to keep some alive in the shanty, but their lack of herding skills led to their death in a few days. Thus the flesh and blood food was spared nothing, skins, bones, and innards were stripped clean, bones scraped clean, scraps were made into paste, stored in huts as dried provisions, as if stockpiling military supplies for winter.

Such demon nests slightly larger would have a dozen or twenty demons residing, occupying entire villages or castle forts. And the town before his eyes was the largest Tie Dan had seen.

At a glance, demon light overflowed, demon qi soared, there might be over a hundred demons, not only were there little demons patrolling outside, but they even used the human clan’s weaponry and machinery, there was even a Great Demon casting magic spells, establishing restriction arrays for self-protection.

Snatching weapons and seizing blood food was one thing, but clearly human town bases held no significance for demons, who knows how these demons and monsters started to change, and unexpectedly began gathering to band together. Were they waiting to be wiped out together? Or was there some other sinister plot?

Tie Dan wasn’t reckless now, as he progressed in refining, he realized more and more that he was still too weak, previously too arrogant, almost got cooked by a dog, and among the nearly hundred demons here, there were also three Nascent Soul level big monsters, impossible to be slain with a single breath.

So Tie Dan sat down in the ice and snow, exhaled a few breaths slowly, calculated with his fingers, looked up to check, waited for the storm, snow and rain to grow bigger and bigger, until the icy rain intertwined, almost indistinguishable between five fingers, then knew it was time to slay demons!

With that, Tie Dan said nothing else, abruptly stepping into the storm, charging towards a hapless little demon he had kept an eye on for a while, thrusting a sword forward!

Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, what could the nut do?

The little demon was caught off guard, utterly defenseless, split open on the spot by Tie Dan’s wind-splitting sword!

Then Tie Dan dug out its heart and opened its abdomen, found a sorcery flag token to enter the array, took out his Short Sword and skinned the little demon, wrapped its warm fur around him, chewed on heart, liver, spleen, and gall, staggering towards the demon cave.
