Chapter 372: Chapter 372: The Might of the Demon Soldier [Fourth Update]

"Is it Taming Dragon?" Qin Jun asked with a smile, truly worthy of someone who has just lived as Jigong, the Taming Dragon Arhat. Though his attire was not untidy, he seemed to have retained some old habits.

"Indeed, that is poor monk," Taming Dragon Arhat answered, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over Nezha and King Huang Feng.

He silently sighed, recognizing that a powerhouse of the Golden Immortal Realm truly was extraordinary; merely sitting there, they emanated an intimidating pressure.

Qin Jun introduced him to everyone with a smile, and the mention of "Arhat" certainly led to wild imaginations.

"You appear to be quite strong; let’s have a fight!" Red Boy stood up with a laugh, and even Li Yuanba rose, his face full of eagerness for battle.

The two battle-addicts had picked the wrong person this time.

"That wouldn’t be good, would it?" Taming Dragon Arhat said with a smile, which made it seem as though he was chickening out.

Qin Jun, on the contrary, laughed and said, "You can find an opportunity to spar, so you can become more familiar with each other."

In the midst of their conversation, he threw a meaningful glance at Taming Dragon Arhat, which made the latter shake his head in amusement.

Qin Jun was offering him an opportunity to establish his might; he also understood that to join Qin Jun’s vast power bloc, he needed to display his strength.

After all, Taming Dragon Arhat was an outstanding power of the ninth level of the Golden Immortal Realm, and Qin Jun even hosted a banquet for him.

Those for whom Qin Jun personally held banquets were not ordinary people!

For a time, the civil and military officers began to rein in their disdainful attitudes, toasting Taming Dragon Arhat diligently. Even if Taming Dragon Arhat was indeed weak, they had to toast not only to curry favor with him but also to save face for Qin Jun.

Qin Jun’s forces were no longer a small team like before but a vast kingdom with various divisions, making power factions inevitable. It was unlikely that everyone was completely loyal to Qin Jun.

Everyone in the world is driven by interest, including Qin Jun’s subordinates, who would seek their own benefits. Of course, they dared not provoke Qin Jun, whose majesty was at its peak for now.

...

The moon sets and the sun rises.

At this moment within Guarding Slaughter City, two figures were heading towards a hill, which was none other than the residence of the Savage Elephant King.

These two were dressed very tightly, only exposing their eyes, making them look quite mysterious. However, in the Land of Purity, many cultivators dressed this way to avoid being targeted by enemies.

"Boss, that hill ahead is where the Savage Elephant King resides," spoke one of them, a slim figure.

The other, a bigger figure with a hump on his back like a huge tumor, nodded and said, "Second Brother, we need to be careful from now on, no room for carelessness. If we fail the mission, we’ll have no way to explain it to the Demon Lord."

Second Brother nodded; his slim figure seemed to be walking, but upon closer inspection, one would notice his feet didn’t even touch the ground.

Since the Savage Elephant King had already made a blood pact with Qin Jun, Qin Jun didn’t assign guards to this area, as the Savage Elephant King was not a prisoner.

The two of them soon reached the top of the hill. Their presence seemed to be cut off by something, so much so that even the Savage Elephant King on the mountain failed to notice them.

In the forest at the top of the hill, the Savage Elephant King was lying on the ground asleep. Having reached the Immortal Realm, it preferred not to take human form and did not enjoy the Human Clan’s lifestyle. This was quite common in the Demon Clan, where the majority of demons preferred a life of freedom, sleeping in the open air and regarding the earth as their bed.

"Savage Elephant King."

Just then, Second Brother suddenly approached and called out to the Savage Elephant King, while Boss stood watching at the edge of the forest.

Hearing the voice, the Savage Elephant King opened his eyes in surprise and asked, "That voice... are you Leopard Second Brother?"

Second Brother quickly removed the cloth wrapped around his head, revealing a leopard’s face, quite horrifying to behold.

"What are you doing here?" the Savage Elephant King asked, eyes widening as it instinctively glanced at Boss Hawk not far away, then hesitantly asked, "Are you Boss Hawk?"

At that, Boss Hawk nodded but didn’t remove his cloth covering.

"Come with us quickly. The Qin Emperor hasn’t noticed our presence yet," Leopard Second Brother urged in a low voice.

"No, I’ve already made a blood pact with the Qin Emperor... What good would running do?" the Savage Elephant King said with a wry smile. After the blood pact was made, no matter where it fled, Qin Jun could sense it, and with just a thought, Qin Jun could make its life a living hell.

Naturally, to torture it, Qin Jun would need to be within ten miles of its location, beyond which it wasn’t possible.

But if it fled and Qin Jun came after it to snuff it out, what would it do then?

Better to live a poor life than to die a good death...

At least its current life, though not entirely free, was still relatively comfortable.

"The Demon Lord can help you break the blood pact!" Leopard Second Brother explained. That statement instantly lit up the eyes of the Savage Elephant King, who swiftly got to its feet.

If it could live freely, that would be even better!

"But..." the Savage Elephant King hesitated again. It vividly remembered how, on that day, the Demon Lord was beaten into a hasty retreat by King Huang Feng. It had already given up the idea of escaping. Even with the Demon Lord’s protection, how could it stand against Qin Jun?

"Rest assured, the Demon Lord has made connections with the powerful demons overseas. In any case, he can ensure your safety and freedom, so follow us and escape!" Leopard Second Brother said urgently, producing a scroll and tearing it open. Immediately afterward, a spatial rift appeared beside him, a circular hole with a diameter of five meters, large enough for the Savage Elephant King to squeeze through.

Boss Hawk also moved to their side and said in a deep voice, "Hurry, someone seems to be coming!"

Urged on by him, the Savage Elephant King had no choice but to enter the spatial rift.

In the blink of an eye, the Savage Elephant King appeared on the plain outside Guarding Slaughter City, about three thousand meters from the city gates.

Leopard Second Brother and Boss Hawk followed out one after another. The plain in front of Guarding Slaughter City was pocked with pits and bumps from many battles, and the uneven terrain meant the soldiers atop the city wall couldn’t see them.

"Let’s go; the Demon Lord is waiting for us!" said Boss Hawk in a grim tone.

The Savage Elephant King was overjoyed, not expecting to escape so easily!

Just then, the ground started to tremble, and an overwhelming demonic might swept over them, sending shivers of fear, making them tremble uncontrollably as the cold seeped from the soles of their feet to their brains.

Looking up, they saw dark figures appear in the sky, and the horizon was similarly engulfed, as if a giant black net was descending, blotting out the sun and covering the sky.

Upon closer inspection, they were burly men in animal hides, radiating oppressive evil energy, like humanoid beasts. They were spread out, flying from the sky down to the ground in a dense swarm, easily numbering in the tens of thousands. The hosts of demons could only retreat, with Guarding Slaughter City right behind them.

"Bad news! They’re all demon soldiers, real demons! Everyone run!" Boss Hawk screamed in terror. He wasn’t afraid of an individual demon soldier, but such a massive number gathered together was another story, especially considering the eighty-one leaders at the front. Their combined energies were so formidable that not even a True Immortal Realm powerhouse would dare to clash with them.

With that, Boss Hawk turned and jumped back into the spatial rift. The Savage Elephant King and Leopard Second Brother, scared nearly out of their minds, hastily followed suit.
