Chapter 66: Chapter 63 Slaughter
Hearing Li Hao’s words, the demons were taken aback for a moment before they all burst into laughter.
Although they found Li Hao a bit peculiar, not like the common Monster Suppression agents, given his age, even if he were an exceptional talent, how strong could he be?
There were at least twenty shape-shifted Great Demons here. In the Demon Race, only those in the Divine Travel Realm could shape-shift, whereas those in the Fifteen Li Realm could completely transform, perfectly concealing their demon bodies without any trace.
“Kid, have you been scared senseless? Even Yue Shuhong, that old timer, wouldn’t dare to be disrespectful to us!”
The demoness with the body of a snake giggled.
“So, who is the Tiger Robe Immortal?”
Li Hao asked again.
Seeing her words ignored, a flash of annoyance crossed the demoness’s eyes, as she flicked her forked tongue and moved to approach.
“What do you want with Tiger Robe?” the giant bear suddenly spoke calmly.
“Nothing much,”
Li Hao flipped the blade in his hand and said, “just borrowing its head to pay homage to my uncle’s heroic spirit.”
The giant bear felt his caution was overdone, having thought it was a messenger who came; he no longer fancied watching Li Hao, and whispered, “Eat him.”
These words were directed at the other demons.
The seductive demoness, hearing this, was the first to rapidly snake towards Li Hao, suddenly smiling sweetly, her voice sultry, “Come, nicely into my mouth.”
The demon aura filled the air, but she ripped open a huge, bloody maw, distorting her bewitching face grotesquely.
Bewitchment techniques were in full force, enough to influence even those in the Soul Succession Realm, turning their minds chaotic, crawling obediently into her mouth.
But at that moment, a streak of dark light flashed by.
The half-opened bloody maw, as if lifted by the wind, unexpectedly tumbled backward, the cut clean!
Blood suddenly sprayed out, splattering all over the ground.
The mockery in the other demons’ eyes instantly froze, and the dwarfish, emaciated old man who had almost reached Li Hao stopped in his tracks, staring blankly at the young man.
The Demon-Slaying Blade in the young man’s hand had disappeared.
The black blade hung in mid-air, then like a shadowy glint of dark light, it darted out, tracing an arc.
In an instant, several Great Demons’ heads fell where the arc passed, without even a chance to react!
This abrupt change came too fast, surpassing their reactions and imaginations.
“Since none of you will speak, I’m left with no choice but to slaughter you all. Using you as a sacrificial altar works too,” Li Hao murmured to himself.
As he spoke, the black Demon-Slaying Blade hovering in mid-air didn’t stop, instead charging out again urgently.
“Fifteen Li Realm!”
“What kind of monster is he?!”
All the demons snapped awake, looking at Li Hao in horror, desperately scattering in all directions, trying to escape the Demon-Slaying Blade, but their movement techniques were nowhere near as fast.
Controlling objects within forty li was not merely 2.5 times beyond the Fifteen Li, it was also a crushing superiority in strength and speed!
It’s like some people throw stones twenty meters, while others can throw a hundred meters—the difference in arm strength is self-evident.
Besides, they hadn’t even reached the Fifteen Li Realm and couldn’t yet fly, so at this moment, some Great Demons had chosen to abandon their physical bodies, directly employing their Divine Souls to flee, as long as they could preserve their Divine Souls, they could possess other bodies again.
The capacious bear’s expression also changed, abruptly standing up with its massive body like a small tower. It stared intently at Li Hao, as if trying to see through the youth’s true essence.
The Fifteen Li Realm? How old is this young man?!
It didn’t allow its subordinates to continue being slaughtered by Li Hao and abruptly attacked, spouting a black flame that transformed into a black fire dragon in mid-air, clawing its way towards Li Hao, revealing that it too was of the Fifteen Li Realm.
Li Hao glanced up, having already noticed that this Bear Demon had the strongest aura, but in his eyes, compared to the Divine Travel Realm,
The difference wasn’t much.
Whoosh!
His Divine Soul’s power covered the blade, instantly splitting the fire dragon, and directly chopping down upon the Bear Demon’s head.
However, the skull of the Bear Demon was extremely hard, and the blade only managed to slice half a foot deep before it got stuck, unable to advance further.
Li Hao stepped forward, his figure appearing like teleportation in front of the pained Bear Demon. In its wide, terrified and shocked eyes, he raised his fist and smashed down hard.
The force exceeding ten million pounds was gathered in his fist, and the destructive force it brought when smashing down was far more than ten million pounds, especially with the push from the controlling object’s power. The entire body of the Bear Demon was violently thrown against the rocks it had been leaning on, shattering them and flying backward for over a dozen meters, crashing into its own cave.
Blood burst from its throat, and the Bear Demon was filled with horror. It possessed Divine Power naturally, with boundless strength, self-proclaimed as a true giant strength deity.
But the power erupted by this young man now scared even itself.
How could such a small flesh and blood body have such a brutal force?!
Li Hao merely glanced at the Bear Demon, then turned and waved his hand, pulling out the Demon-Slaying Blade stuck in the Bear Demon’s head, and as his gaze swept around, the blade turned into a dark light and flew off.
Those Divine Souls that scattered in different directions hadn’t even made it several li away before vanishing from sight, only to be chased down by the Demon-Slaying Blade.
The mere Demon-Slaying Blade couldn’t harm these Divine Souls, but with Li Hao’s Divine Soul’s power on it, it was more than enough to split their Divine Souls apart!
Screams echoed from all directions, some cut short before they could even fully escape their lips as the bodies abruptly fell to the ground.
The once terror-filled peak, where over twenty Great Demons gathered, was left with only the Bear Demon in a mere instant.
The rest of the Great Demons, either had their bodies cleaved open, or lay limp on the ground, their Divine Souls dissipated miles away.
A gentle breeze rustled through the woods, carrying the thick stench of blood to the nostrils of the Bear Demon, making it nearly choke.
For the first time, the Bear Demon found the smell wafting from its own mountaintop to be unbearably foul, causing its stomach to churn and a sense of nausea to overwhelm it.
Fear so intense it induced the urge to vomit!
“You, are you a Grandmaster from Tianren Sect?!”
Watching the youth approach step by step, the Bear Demon could not hide the terror in its eyes. Merely from their brief exchange of blows, it knew, even in the Fifteen Li Realm, it was no match for the boy.
The gap was unimaginably vast!
It was now beginning to suspect that the teenager was some Grandmaster who had rejuvenated back to youth.
“Among these Demons I’ve just killed, is there the Tiger Robe Immortal?”
Li Hao walked up to the Bear Demon, stopped, and looked up slightly at the Great Demon that was still towering like a small building even as it sat collapsed on the ground.
The Bear Demon now understood that it was the Tiger Robe that had provoked this terrifying youth, and the latter had come seeking vengeance.
“Tiger Robe…”
Resentment filled its heart, its thoughts racing as it gritted its teeth and said, “Tiger Robe isn’t here, it’s in the north.”
“The north?”
Li Hao raised an eyebrow, looking suspiciously at the Bear Demon, “There are many more of your kind out there, you’d better not lie.”
The Bear Demon’s expression changed slightly, and it immediately said, “I am not deceiving you, Tiger Robe is indeed from our Black Wind Mountain Range, but it’s clever and capable, so it was sent to the north.”
“What is it doing in the north?”
“We’re planning to ally with the north to take down Cangyu City, it went there to assist,” the Bear Demon said breathlessly, concealing the identity of the Red Eyebrow Taoist.
There are Demons in the north?
Li Hao paused, as the intelligence from the Monster Suppression Department had no records about the north; it had always been peaceful there.
“How many Demons are there in the north?” Li Hao immediately asked.
“About the same as here.”
“Why do you want to attack Cangyu City, do you know the consequences of provoking Dayu?” Li Hao demanded.
The Bear Demon had a bitter smile in its heart. Why else would you humans slay Demons, if not to pick on the weak? Who could have anticipated that Cangyu City would shelter a monster like the youth before me?
Of course, it couldn’t dare to voice out such a thought, so it could only display a face of forced desperation, saying, “Although we are Demons, we only seek to fill our bellies, much like how the Human Race eats livestock… it’s the same principle…”
Li Hao’s eyes turned cold.
The mention of eating instantly brought forth a surge of killing intent from deep within him.
“Just for eating?” Li Hao suppressed his urge to kill, staring at the Bear Demon, attempting to probe for more information.
Felling Li Hao’s killing intent, the Bear Demon’s heart shuddered, attempting to apply the logic of the Human Race’s philosophy in a position of weakness:
“All beings in the world survive for, well, survival. We are the same, aren’t we? There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?”
“Who’s discussing right or wrong with you? I’m only asking you, is attacking Cangyu City just for the sake of eating?” Li Hao pressed, holding back his anger.
The decision to attack Cangyu City was spearheaded by the Red Eyebrow Taoist; although the Bear Demon had heard of other reasons, it naturally wouldn’t share them with Li Hao—how else would it argue its case?
“If not for survival, we wouldn’t take such risks,” the Bear Demon continued, seemingly transforming into a Confucian scholar, persisting in its discussion of righteousness with Li Hao, “Heaven and earth nurture all things, and all things have the right to survive, don’t they?”
Li Hao took a deep breath and asked again, “What does Tiger Robe look like, is it a Tiger Demon?”
The Bear Demon was startled, disappointed that the Human before it hadn’t taken its philosophy to heart, which made it somewhat panic, “That’s right, Tiger Robe is a Tiger Demon, it has cultivated for nearly a thousand years.”
“Good.”
Receiving the information he wanted, Li Hao nodded slightly.
Before the Bear Demon could react, Li Hao suddenly leaped forward, his fist smashing out and striking the Bear Demon on its brow, the force piercing through and shattering its brain.
The Bear Demon’s mouth opened slightly in shock and disbelief; its eyes gradually lost their light as it collapsed, falling to the ground with a thud like a giant rock tumbling over.
Discuss right and wrong with a Demon?
Li Hao was in no mood for such debates.
Moreover, compared to right or wrong, one’s own stance was far more essential!
Facing the countless white bones and skeletons around him, how could he possibly say to the Bear Demon:
Yes, you’re not wrong.
To hell with right or wrong, I am of the Human Race!!
