13: Chapter 13 Kill! Demonic Beast Appears!

"Truly, the setting sun is about to fall... one look, and the heart fades into darkness."

Atop the city wall, watching the setting sun roll down bit by bit... the darkness between heaven and earth encroached like a vast, surging tide!

The matter of the diluojiang was ordained by heaven; no one could know of it.

Yet, only... Shen Yi became the sole exception.

Shen Yi did not make this matter public; if it didn't appear, he would become a laughingstock, and if it did appear, he would be sliced into a meat pie.

Why bother...

As for life and death... all he could protect was his own Qinghe Town.

Beyond that, he would not entertain other thoughts!

The sky gradually deepened, and Zhou Xian, who had just joined, felt a bit strange...

"Lord, it is so late, will you not return to the manor for a meal?"

"With Brother Wang and me here, along with these thirty Rakshasa Guards, it is already enough for patrol duties!"

Wang Meng also nodded repeatedly, speaking in a muffled voice.

"With the city wall, we only need to patrol the wall."

"So patrolling is very simple and has become much safer!"

"Lord... why not head back?"

"No rush..."

Shen Yi felt his legs were a bit sore, and he saw Cuier walking up the steps.

"Lord... Young Miss calls for you to return for a meal."

Shen Yi waved his hand... and hammered his legs.

Looking at the sturdy-muscled Wang Dachui and Zhou Xian, who wouldn't feel tired even after standing for three days and three nights, he fell into deep thought.

"Damn it, when will I be able to become a true official of the Immortal Dynasty and be able to Cultivate?"

"Only with the nourishment of Official Aura can I control Spiritual Qi to nourish my Physical Body. Although I lack a Spiritual Root, using Official Aura to Cultivate techniques, or even tempering my blood and Qi... that is also possible."

"Truly, it is frustrating..."

Cuier was also clever; seeing this, she quickly brought over a chair.

Then, she honestly served a square table.

Then she busied herself, and in just a short moment, pastries were laid out and hot tea was served.

The surrounding villagers had never seen such a display... they all cast their gazes over.

It wasn't out of envy or jealousy... they just felt, how could one be so considerate?

Likewise, they congratulated Shen Yi in their hearts.

After all, in their view, all of this was what Lord Shen deserved!

Seeing this, Shen Yi felt that he had been corrupted by wealth.

This feeling... was simply too wonderful!

He coughed once and took a sip of tea.

Just then... the clear white moonlight overhead suddenly began to turn an eerie red!

Then, from the wilderness, a weathered wolf howl suddenly appeared.

The Old Village Chief hurriedly ran up the city wall... staring fixedly at the celestial phenomenon above, saying in horror.

"This... this is the Greedy Wolf Devouring the Moon!"

"It's... it's bad!"

Seeing the Old Village Chief so panicked, Shen Yi smiled slightly.

"Old man... old man... have you slept until you're confused?"

"Look at our city wall... look at the siege crossbows."

"We still have over thirty Dao Soldiers!"

The Old Village Chief only then reacted...

And at this moment, pairs of scarlet eyes had already opened, beginning to charge toward the city wall!

Zhou Xian was the first to discover the Yao Beast; his original form was sharp, and he drew his bow and nocked an arrow!

Three arrows were fired simultaneously, and a Yao Beast with shiny fur saw its head suddenly pinned in place...

Its entire body involuntarily flipped over...

Dozens of Yao Beasts behind it arrived one after another!

Among them, a huge green ox, heat waves surging from its nostrils, its twin horns gleaming with black light, charged forward!

The Old Village Chief subconsciously braced himself... shivering.

"It's a First-grade Demonic Beast... Lord, it's a First-grade Demonic Beast!"

Seeing this, Shen Yi's eyes lit up, not panicking in the slightest.

He waved his hand...

Then he saw three Rakshasa Guards pulling hard on the massive bowstring made from the tendons and bones of Yao Beasts.

Then, amidst a roar...

An incomparably thick power shot downward!

A sound of air exploding suddenly appeared in the air!

The First-grade green ox Yao creature sensed the Killing Intent and let out a moo toward the sky... a green luster immediately appeared on its body, like a shield of Spiritual Qi, covering its head.

Its twin horns, like refined steel, thrust toward the bowstring...

The next second.

The two made contact instantly.

The green ox's head... instantly exploded.

The entire body collapsed with a boom, like a headless corpse!

This scene, which seemed like a miracle, made the Old Village Chief's heart surge with emotion.

He was old and naturally had experienced many Yao Beast sieges.

Whenever a First-grade or higher Yao demon appeared, Qinghe Town would inevitably lose all means of defense!

They could only let the Yao Beasts slaughter them!

So much so that in the end... every household could only survive by hiding in cellars.

Letting the Yao Beasts run rampant... and only leaving after they had caused enough trouble!

But in the half year since Shen Yi arrived... the situation had greatly improved!

Not only did he bring running water to such an arid land and sow the five grains, allowing them to eat their fill.

He even expended favors and costs to ask Taiping County to intervene and subdue the Yao demons...

And now, he had spent a huge amount to build city walls, siege crossbows... and train Dao Soldiers.

These various acts of kindness.

Caused the Old Village Chief's eyes to gradually become moist.

"Lord Shen..."

"Don't say it, don't say it... now is not the time for tears."

Shen Yi smilingly helped the Old Village Chief up and pressed him into the chair.

Standing behind him.

He leaned over... and pointed to the one who had charged into the Yao Beast tide, holding a torch in one hand and a long saber in the other.

Wang Dachui, who was covered in blood from the killing.

He said with a smile.

"Old man, your grandson is currently establishing merit and building a career!"

"Don't spoil the mood!"

"You're right!"

On the battlefield... Wang Meng felt a breath of Qi within his body gradually growing stronger.

What the military School Cultivates is Evil Qi; where does Evil Qi come from?

It is derived from the battlefield, combat, engaging the enemy... and the evolution of Killing Intent.

Evil Qi possesses the ability to break ten thousand spells with a single breath, so the main combat force of the Jing Kingdom today is not the Immortal Sects, but the Dao Soldiers.

Every household has the habit of raising Dao Soldiers.

However, Evil Qi... cannot generate itself.

It can only be derived from rare places of Evil Qi, the Ancient Battlefield, or during combat.

Use a bit, and there is a bit less.

However, during combat, Evil Qi is endless.

Wang Meng himself had excellent martial arts Aptitude; even if he didn't become a military cultivator, he could still become a future leader of a martial arts School.

But becoming a military cultivator and transferring to become a Rakshasa Guard made him the most valiant vanguard!

Holding his steel saber, he felt it was too light... it wasn't satisfying enough to kill!

He brought his saber down, and a pig Yao with bristling steel fur was instantly split in two!

An Iron-backed Ox Yao charged toward him!

Wang Meng dropped the torch in his hand.

Put down his long saber... his arms were like mountain rocks.

He fiercely pressed down on the head of that Ox Yao!

Then, with a boom!

The Ox Yao was trampled under his feet!

The sound of gasps immediately came from the side!

"Brother Wang is mighty!"

"Brother Wang is mighty!"

Wang Meng just grinned grimly, drew his long saber, and stabbed it into the neck of the Ox Yao... blood sprayed onto his face.

Yet he showed a look of excitement!

"Who else!"

At this moment... an eerie and sinister First-grade Demonic Beast aura suddenly appeared!

A green-scaled python poked its head out from the shadows... followed by hundreds of small snakes moving forward!

Demonic Qi rolled in!

"It's... it's the snake Yao from that Yao demon nest!"
