37: Chapter 37 Slaying Demons, Slaying Demons, Slaying Demons

Commander Lin Wen turned her head, her face full of determination.

"Master, rest assured. Wen'er will certainly fight the monsters to the bitter end and will never tarnish your reputation."

Kang Dalei shook his head. "You're overthinking it. I just wanted to say, take the manual with you too."

A pamphlet that also radiated the color of fire flew into Commander Lin Wen's hand.

Upon taking this fire-colored pamphlet, a red flame immediately ignited in Commander Lin Wen's eyes, and she followed up with a determined expression, saying, "This servant will never fail Master."

After Commander Lin Wen left, Kang Dalei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he had sent that silly girl away.

Divine Venerable, is being a Divine Venerable so great? Do they really think a Divine Venerable is a god?

But for this girl to actually dare to go fight a monster tide alone, she could be considered a talent.

"If you don't die, I will definitely help you become a Divine Venerable."

Kang Dalei lay down, preparing to think about where to go next.

There were only three options before him: kill monsters, be killed by monsters, or wait for the Demon-Slaying Conference to end.

"Then I choose to wait for the Demon-Slaying Conference to end."

In the war between the human race and the demon race, why did the human race repeatedly fail even though very few powerhouses from the demon side managed to sneak over?

It wasn't because the humans didn't fight hard, but because the demon race had too many numbers—so many that they could pile up and crush a Divine Venerable with sheer quantity.

If Kang Dalei were to fight one-on-one, or fight many monsters, he might manage. But facing a monster tide, unless one possessed the strength of a King-Sealing Divine Venerable and had mastered martial arts capable of killing enemies over a large area, it was impossible to do.

Moreover, everyone's energy is limited. A Divine Venerable is not a god; they cannot have infinite energy.

Once your energy is exhausted, those monsters will crawl onto your body, tear apart your flesh, trample your soul, and shatter your bones.

Of course, saying all this isn't to whitewash Kang Dalei.

It's just to tell everyone that the power of one person is ultimately limited.

Besides, Kang Dalei is a coward by nature, so there's nothing to whitewash. Human strength will eventually be exhausted, but slaughter is also the best place to temper one's will.

Wind God Cannon manual: The Wind God Cannon relies on absorbing the user's lifespan as a cost. Below the Divine Venerable level and below the Demon King level, one shot costs ten days of lifespan, kills instantly, and the damage radius can expand to fifteen meters.

Above the Divine Venerable and Demon King level, it can break through their defenses. One shot costs one hundred days of lifespan, and a single shot can break through their defenses with a damage radius of thirty meters.

Undying Realm, Second-tier Demon King: one shot costs two hundred days of lifespan, radius of sixty meters.

Great Sun Realm, Third-tier Demon King: one shot costs four hundred days of lifespan, radius of one hundred and twenty meters.

Dark Star Realm, Fourth-tier Demon King: one shot costs eight hundred days of lifespan, radius of two hundred and forty meters.

Wujian Realm, Fifth-tier Demon King: one shot costs one thousand six hundred days of lifespan, radius of four hundred and eighty meters.

After reading all the instructions and introductions for the Wind God Cannon, there was no fear in Commander Lin Wen's eyes, only determination.

She could not be a coward, and even less could she be afraid.

"Commander Lin Wen, have you forgotten what you promised Master?"

Picking up the Wind God Cannon, at that moment she was a Divine Venerable; she was Yan Jin's Divine Venerable.

Boom! With one shot, the monsters that were chasing the white-haired Yan Jin were instantly blown to pieces, and wails erupted everywhere.

Immediately after, a few more shots went out, and the surroundings instantly spread into a sea of fire.

"Are you alright?" Commander Lin Wen approached and extended her palm toward the blood-covered Yan Jin.

Yan Jin shook his head. Looking at the woman in plain purple robes with a quiet and pretty face before him, he actually felt a bit shy.

"I—I'm fine."

Hearing Yan Jin say he was fine, Commander Lin Wen nodded. She no longer paid attention to him and picked up the Wind God Cannon, firing several shots in succession.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

The sound was deafening, and the sea of fire stretched on and on, like a living hell.

Thousands of monsters seemed unable to withstand the continuous bombardment of the Wind God Cannon, but after the artillery fire died down, there were still countless monsters rushing toward the two of them.

Although the cannon in Commander Lin Wen's hand was immensely powerful, facing the swarm of monsters like a plague of locusts, it seemed somewhat insignificant.

"M—Miss, leave quickly. There are too many monsters here; doing this is useless." Seeing that Commander Lin Wen still fought to the death without retreating in the face of the monsters, Yan Jin couldn't help but speak up to warn her.

But since Commander Lin Wen had received Kang Dalei's order, how could she give up so easily?

"No, killing monsters is the responsibility of our generation. I will fight them to the death and never retreat."

The Wind God Cannon was raised, its power adjusted to the First-tier Demon King level. With one shot, this time, the power was greater, the sea of fire was more intense, and more monsters died. However, a significant change also occurred in Commander Lin Wen; her hair began to turn white.

Although it was only one strand, this signaled that her lifespan was constantly being consumed.

Seeing that the power of the Wind God Cannon could be so great after adjusting it to the First-tier Demon King level, a faint blush covered Commander Lin Wen's excited little face.

"Master, I will definitely not let you down."

Commander Lin Wen thought to herself, and fired several more shots in succession.

They had originally thought the cannon's power could only instantly kill High-Level Monster Soldiers and shouldn't pose a fatal threat to Demon Race Great Commanders like them.

But until one was hit by a Wind God Cannon shot, a Demon Race Great Commander instantly let out a scream, and before he could tell his companions that the cannon was poisonous, he was dead. Its demon core also appeared brightly on the battlefield.

Yan Jin, who was watching from the side, was even more shocked, his eyes widening. One shot was enough to rival a Divine Venerable; what kind of heaven-defying object was the cannon in this woman's hand?

"Miss, are you really not leaving?" Yan Jin asked.

Hearing Yan Jin's voice, Commander Lin Wen turned her head and showed him a quiet and pretty expression.

"This white-haired young master, if you want to leave, then leave first. I must kill them all."

As she spoke, Commander Lin Wen fired a few more shots, and wails rang out again within the monster tide, followed by countless demon cores falling to the ground.

Seeing that Commander Lin Wen was so unafraid of the monsters, Yan Jin couldn't help but develop a trace of affection for this quiet and pretty woman.

"Good! Since you, Miss, dare to face the monsters head-on, how can I, Yan Jin, a dignified man, sit on the sidelines and watch?"

He raised his broadsword and tore off his left eye patch. A mysterious power began to gather around him, and immediately after, Yan Jin's aura began to climb wildly.

It didn't stop until it reached the realm of being like a Divine Venerable, yet not a Divine Venerable—a Pseudo-Divine Venerable.

At this moment, he raised a narrow sword high, then suddenly stabbed his own abdomen with it. His entire body turned incomparably blood-red in an instant, and he became frantic.

"Hahahaha! Kill demons, kill demons, kill demons! I'm going to kill you all!"

He lifted the broadsword in his hand, which had turned blood-red, and charged directly into the monster tide, unleashing a frenzied slaughter.

Commander Lin Wen, standing in the distance, saw this change in Yan Jin. Although she was very surprised, the current situation did not allow her to think too much.

Seeing Yan Jin charging and killing left and right within the monster tide, she couldn't help but fire a few shots toward his position, as if to provide support, and also as a gesture of goodwill.

Yan Jin ignored her. Now, he only wanted to kill demons; he only wanted to wipe out this group of monsters.

Although the two were not Divine Venerables, with the divine artifact Wind God Cannon and Yan Jin, who had transformed into a Sword Seed, the monster tide suffered heavy casualties.

Naturally, this behavior of the two also attracted the attention of the Demon King behind the monster tide.

Watching large swaths of his kind die under the artillery fire, and large batches of his subordinates being cut down by Yan Jin like chopping watermelons—one slash, one kill—the Demon King finally couldn't hold back and charged toward the two of them.

"Despicable humans, treating my demon race like meat to be chopped, is it satisfying?"

Seeing the Demon King coming, Yan Jin, who had currently transformed into a Sword Seed, not only felt no fear but even felt vaguely very excited.

"Kill demons, kill demons, I'll kill you all!" He raised the blood-red blade in his hand and hacked toward the Demon King.
