209: Don't worry about him, he doesn't play by the rules

Bai Ge led Long Teng to a bronze door, surrounded by runes, emitting a blue light, clearly protected by a Formation.

“This Zhennan Royal Family ancestral tomb is truly rich. Three layers outside, three layers inside. If it’s not a mechanism, it’s a trap. Robbing your… visiting your tomb is truly eight lifetimes of bad luck!”

Bai Ge, with a dusty face, patted the dust off his body and said loudly.

He looked at the bronze door; inside should be the Prince Zhennan's ancestral tombs. This Formation was a bit tricky, but for him, it should be solvable with some time.

Who was he? The second person in the thieving world!

He had once followed the first person in the thieving world and had even robbed tombs more Advanced than the Prince Zhennan's.

“Long Teng, protect me. I’m going to start breaking the Formation!”

“Alright, Bai Ge!”

Long Teng responded.

…

Si Province, Yang Prefecture.

Bang, Clang, Crack…

In a deep, old forest, intense fighting was taking place, with the sound of clashing weapons and sparks of metal flying.

A flag pole emitting black Qi was inserted into the ground, sealing off the entire mountain and silently harvesting the lives of demons.

“Ah…”

“Human Race beasts, how dare you kill my kin? When the great Demon Lord descends, I will make all of you die!”

A Fiend Grade Great Demon roared. They were about to go down the mountain to the human world's villages and towns for a feast, but they were blocked at the entrance by this group of Demon Suppression Guards.

His mountain had less than two hundred demons in total, but two thousand Demon Suppression Guards came to attack. Was this a joke?

On average, one demon had to fight ten Demon Suppression Guards. Although their Demon Clan's combat power was stronger, it wasn't so outrageous as to have one person fight ten Demon Suppression Guards of the same Realm.

Moreover, these Demon Suppression Guards were basically all Innate Peak.

“Stop talking nonsense and die!”

Zhao Hu led two Grandmaster-level Demon Suppression Guards, desperately besieging this Fiend Grade Late Stage cow demon.

He was beaten to the point of continuously spitting blood.

“human race kid, if you have the guts, fight me one-on-one!” The Fiend Grade Great Demon spat angrily. He wasn't afraid of a one-on-one fight, but being ganged up on by several people was indeed unbearable.

This Zhao Hu was also no easy opponent; a mere Grandmaster Middle Stage could fight him evenly. Plus, with two Grandmasters assisting, he simply couldn't win.

“Die obediently!”

Zhao Hu's cold glint appeared, his saber light flashed, and he attacked again.

If they could gang up, who would fight one-on-one?

Do it!

“How dare you!”

“Damn Human Race Demon Suppression Guard, slaughtering my Demon Clan, die for this Lord!”

From the distant sky, an angry voice came, rapidly approaching, as fast as lightning.

“It’s the Iron Rooster Demon Lord!” The Fiend Grade Cow Demon said excitedly. The Iron Rooster Demon Lord had a very good relationship with him and often kept in touch.

He was lucky today to encounter him coming over to visit.

“You ants, tremble!”

The Fiend Grade Cow Demon roared.

Just as the Iron Rooster Demon Lord was about to go on a killing spree, a dazzling saber light blocked his path.

The one who attacked was naturally Fu Yunxuan, with short hair and full of heroic spirit.

“Human Race little girl, how dare you stop me? Watch how this Lord captures you!”

The Iron Rooster Demon Lord's aura surged, and he charged straight up.

The next moment.

The saber light shone to the extreme, like a sudden thunder, killing towards the Iron Rooster Demon Lord.

Pfft!

“Ah…”

A demon arm was severed in response.

Strike him when he's down, take his life.

“Demon Suppression Thirteen Sabers!”

Fu Yunxuan's beautiful eyes flashed, her jade-like face was pure and clear, her body changed unpredictably, and the Blood Sun Saber unleashed thirteen consecutive strikes across the sky.

“Pfft!”

Crack…

The Iron Rooster Demon Lord was chopped into more than ten pieces, scattering across the ground.

“What!”

The Fiend Grade Cow Demon was shocked. The Iron Rooster Demon Lord was a Nether-level First Revolution Peak, about to enter the Second Revolution, yet he didn't last three moves in the opponent's hands.

Chu Jiang oversaw the entire situation from the battleship, controlling the human emperor banner. Basically, every demon had been infused with the power of ten thousand souls by him in advance, ensuring that he would get the kills.

This could both train the Demon Suppression Guards and rack up kill records.

Even if a few were occasionally missed, it was harmless anyway. For him, demons below the True Demon stage, namely Virtual-level demons and Nether-level demons, made no difference.

The Blood Sun Saber had followed him for a long time. Now that he had Broken Through to the Divine Power Realm, a full swing would likely crack the blade, it could no longer keep up with his pace.

However, after Fu Yunxuan entered the Great Grandmaster Realm, her combat power soared. As a Peerless Great Grandmaster Middle Stage, she probably already had Peak combat power.

As expected, she was the Genius of this generation in Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, second only to him.

The demise of the Iron Rooster Demon Lord disheartened the demons.

After a quarter of an hour.

The demon stronghold in Yang Prefecture was completely flattened, a Corpse Mountain and a sea of blood, all demon corpses.

Chu Jiang did not waste it. The mouth of the gourd slightly opened, and all demon corpses were collected into the purple gold gourd.

He began to refine them.

Chu Jiang discovered that this purple gold gourd could actually refine demon corpses, remove the evil Qi, and transform them into pure energy liquid.

Its purity was several times higher than that of the Heavenly Origin Pool in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

Let's call it: Demon Refining Liquid.

However, refining demon corpses below the True Demon stage provided extremely negligible improvement for him, who was already in the Divine Power Realm.

But for those below the Transcendent Realm, it was like an Immortal Pill or Spirit Liquid.

This purple gold gourd was truly a peerless Magic Treasure, with Heaven-Defying abilities.

[Thousand Demon Slay: 538 / 1000]

Only five hundred more to go. This trip to Si Province should allow him to complete the Thousand Demon Slay.

An hour later.

The battleship set off again, transferring to Siyang Prefecture.

The usual routine.

The human emperor banner would first seal off the area to prevent news from leaking and demons from escaping, and then Fu Yunxuan and others would lead the Demon Suppression Guards to fight and exterminate the demons.

“Human Race strong, are you bullying our race because we have no one?”

“Damn bastard, as a strong one, you shouldn't attack the weak. You have no dignity as a strong one!”

“I look down on you!”

A Nether-level demon roared tragically, like an impotent rage.

Since ancient times, hasn't it always been king against king, general against general? Why didn't this guy follow the routine, a powerful expert leading a group of fierce generals to slaughter low-level demons?

It was completely like a max-level boss returning to the newbie village to slaughter BOOS.

Chu Jiang sneered.

When demons slaughtered Human Race commoners, they would then lecture him with grand principles. All of them should die.

After a quarter of an hour.

The purple gold gourd collected the demon corpses.

[Thousand Demon Slay: 720 / 1000]

Almost there, almost there!

This time.

They rested for two hours before continuing their journey.

The battleship rumbled, its speed unhurried.

Third stop… Moon Water Prefecture.

…

Zhennan Royal Family, thirty miles northwest.

West Mountain Bunker.

“Lord Xue, Chu Jiang is leading the Demon Suppression Guards and has crossed the Si Province border!” A dark scout ran in from outside.

“Are they heading towards the Zhennan Royal Family?”

Xue Dingfang frowned. Prince Zhennan had told him before his seclusion that Chu Jiang might come to the Royal Family.

They should not easily clash with him. They should endure if possible, and wait until he came out of seclusion.

“No!”

The scout replied.

“No? Then where else could he go?!”

“It seems they are heading towards the deep mountains, some uninhabited places!”

The scout replied.

Xue Dingfang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued to ask, “Have the specific locations been identified?”

“They fly too high, we can’t see them at all, and their speed is too fast, our people can’t keep up at all… We only barely caught some traces when he lowered his altitude!”

The scout's voice grew softer and softer, lowering his head, not daring to look at Xue Dingfang.

Crack!

“Useless! You can’t even do a proper intelligence report. What use are you? Get out of here!”

The teacup in Xue Dingfang's hand was fiercely smashed to the ground, and the hot tea emitted wisps of steam.

What on earth was this Chu Jiang doing?

He was completely baffled.

“Lord Xue, don’t be angry. It’s not good to harm your health; no one will bear it for you… Do you think there’s a possibility that the Sizhou Demon Suppression Division invited Chu Jiang to help them slay demons and eliminate evil?”

“After all, only those demons would live in the mountains!”

Li Yongfang, the head of the generals, spoke, secretly despising Xue Dingfang. This Xue Dingfang was truly a fool, first betraying Great Chu to the Barbarian Race, then not being valued by the Barbarian Race, and finally being sent back to Great Chu as a monitoring spy.

However, such a fool was extremely beneficial to their Zhennan Royal Family; deceiving him was like playing a game.

Xue Dingfang slapped his thigh, his eyes lighting up, and said, “That makes sense.”

“Since he’s going to slaughter demons, we don’t need to bother with him!”

Clearly, the King had overestimated the Chu Emperor, an old immortal fellow, what was there to be wary of?

Even if given a peerless Divine Saber, he wouldn't dare to strike at their Zhennan Royal Family.

He couldn't help but sigh:

The Chu Emperor was truly old, he couldn't lift his saber anymore…

…

Moon Water Prefecture.

The human emperor banner was still emitting black Qi, sweeping across the entire world.

Below.

The battle continued.

At the Peak of the battleship.

Chu Jiang's eyes opened.

He looked at the panel.

[Thousand Demon Slay: 823 / 1000]

Next stop.

He should be able to Break Through the Thousand Demon Slay.
