278: Kill the demon

Chu Jiang concealed himself in the Void Realm, stealthily advancing.

He saw.

On the banks of the Liusha River, a group of figures were engaged in battle, stirring up gusts of wind.

A beautiful Succubus stood gracefully, her transparent, watery gauze dress draped over her body, leaving nothing hidden, almost completely exposed.

Various water-element demon arts were conjured with ease; trees, rocks, and flowers on the bank were shattered like tofu, indicating she was a Spirit Rank Ninth Level water demon.

Battling her was a Demon Suppression Guard wearing a Vice Commander uniform, his eyes burning like fire, and the Demon Suppression Blade in his hand swung wildly, launching furious attacks.

However, facing the Succubus's attacks, he seemed out of his depth, constantly retreating.

The two were separated by two Realms.

Near them, there were also a dozen other Demon Suppression Guards and several figures from Jianghu Sects, fiercely fighting other low-level demons.

Among them, there were also two familiar faces.

"Master, what time is it? Why are you still looking there? What's so good about demons?!" Shi Qingxuan's willow-like brows furrowed as she saw Yang Huo, with his Eagle Eye ability, fending off demons while staring at the Succubus's delicate body.

"My dear disciple, we're about to be wiped out by these demons. Can't you let your Master have his fill of beauty?"

"As the saying goes, 'Die beneath a peony, and even as a ghost, one remains romantic!'"

Yang Huo smacked his lips, unconcerned by his disciple's teasing, his Eagle Eye shining brightly, determined to see her clearly.

Her peaks were like gathered mountains, her jade-like form naturally perfect.

Truly top-grade.

"Hmph, you pervert, you don't even spare demons!" Shi Qingxuan was speechless, but said nothing more. It seemed they were doomed this time and wouldn't be able to return to the Golden Eagle Gate.

"Commander Ding, you're out of energy so quickly? You're no good!"

The Succubus smiled, her beauty captivating, and danced her graceful figure, condensing a large cluster of water arrows to shoot at him.

"Demoness, don't be so arrogant! Watch as this Commander suppresses you!"

Ding Daqiu roared, and the Demon Suppression Blade in his hand became even more ferocious.

"Dying struggle!"

The Succubus snorted coldly, waving her jade hand, and a massive water prison completely trapped Ding Daqiu. Various corrosive liquids flowed out, rendering all his struggles useless.

"Sir!"

The Demon Suppression Guards shouted.

"Oh no, Commander Ding is about to lose!"

Shi Qingxuan's jade-like face turned cold, thinking it was bad. If Commander Ding was defeated, they would completely lose hope.

"..."

Yang Huo, however, paid no attention, still keeping his Eagle Eye wide open, his face full of smiles, showing no sign of worry.

Shi Qingxuan was too exhausted to complain.

Just as everyone was filled with despair.

Boom—

A large swath of Sword Qi slashed across the sky, bringing with it unparalleled sharpness and a whistling sound, even distorting the air to an extreme degree.

The water prison was instantly shattered.

Bang, bang, bang!

All the demons on the bank were decapitated at the same time.

Blood flowed like pillars, the wounds were perfectly clean, and bodies were separated from heads.

The demons hadn't even discovered who their enemy was before they were bewilderedly slain. Many demon corpses crashed into the water, splashing huge waves.

Shi Qingxuan and the others on the bank were stunned. Such powerful Sword Qi! Could the newcomer be a grand Master of the Divine Power Realm?

"Who are you?"

The Succubus was both shocked and enraged. She scanned her surroundings but found nothing, yet the pressure she felt was immense even before the person revealed himself.

The newcomer was definitely no ordinary person.

"Could it be Pacification Envoy Shi?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Qingxuan's eyes on the bank. Shi Dakai, as the Fire Province Pacification Envoy, was already at Divine Power Eighth Level two hundred years ago, and his current strength was even more unfathomable.

Now, they were saved.

A moment later.

Everyone looked up.

They saw.

At the edge of the world, an old man in black, with his hands clasped behind his back, trod the Void Realm, creating ripples. Each step caused the world to tremble as he traversed the boundless Void Realm.

This person had a majestic bearing; though his appearance was ordinary, his Aura was immense, and his every move exuded the demeanor of a peerless Master.

His leisurely stroll made it seem as if he held no one in his eyes.

"Who is this?"

Ding Daqiu was awed by this Aura, searching his mind for Old Ancestors of various forces and Sect leaders from all counties in Fire Province.

Even powerful experts from other provinces.

But none matched this person.

Where did such a powerful expert come from? This deterrent force was actually several times stronger than their own Pacification Envoy.

"Escape!"

The Succubus was greatly alarmed but found her body already suppressed by an invisible force, fixed in place and unable to move.

"You can't kill me, I am from the Liusha River, under..."

The old man in black remained silent.

The next second.

Three more streaks of Sword Qi flashed, and the Succubus's body was directly severed into three sections, bleeding into the Void Realm and spilling into the Liusha River.

Whoosh!

With a powerful suction, the Succubus's corpse was drawn into his hand and instantly placed into the Storage Pouch at his waist.

This old man in black was naturally Chu Jiang in disguise.

The Yan Luo Temple mask not only concealed all his original Aura but also allowed him to change his appearance at will.

As for the purple gold gourd, it was transformed into the appearance of an ordinary Storage Pouch.

The Liusha River Succubus, Spirit Rank Ninth Level, the Dual Cultivation Cauldron of the Shrimp King of Liusha River, Cultivated for eight hundred years, with one thousand years remaining.

demon life essence: sixty-one thousand years.

...

"It still has to be killing demons; killing one is worth thousands of barbarian soldiers!"

Chu Jiang thought to himself.

Ten barbarian soldiers only yielded one year of Lifespan; how could they compare to demons?

Seeing Chu Jiang slay all the demons.

"Greetings, Senior!"

"Junior Shi Qingxuan..."

"Junior Yang Huo..."

Everyone hurriedly bowed, for someone who could kill Spirit Rank demons with a wave of their hand was at least a Faxiang Realm level figure.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives. May I ask for Senior's esteemed name?"

Ding Daqiu said gratefully, asking for Chu Jiang's name.

"This old man has been in seclusion for a thousand years; his name has long been forgotten!"

"You may call me—Demon Slayer Old Man!"

Chu Jiang's voice was old and resonant, his cloudy eyes flashing with a hint of nostalgia, his hands clasped behind his back, like an otherworldly Master.

He planned to establish this identity as the Master of his main identity, to rationalize his own growth and draw all attention to the Demon Slayer Old Man.

In the future, he would have several more aliases, all peerless Masters.

When he became invincible, and all his aliases were exposed as one person.

That scene would be interesting.

After all, Cultivation, besides seeking longevity, was meaningless without showing off.

"In seclusion for a thousand years?"

Ding Daqiu's mouth gaped slightly, his heart in turmoil. This was a grand Master from a thousand years ago, oh my heavens.

Had such an ancient figure emerged?

He was already famous a thousand years ago.

And could still live for another thousand years, with such powerful strength. He must undoubtedly be a peerless expert of the Heaven and Earth Realm.

"Thank you, Senior Demon Slayer, for saving our lives!"

Shi Qingxuan said respectfully. This was a peerless expert she might never encounter in her lifetime, yet to meet him here was a great Opportunity.

"No worries, it's a small matter!"

Chu Jiang said casually, not lingering there.

The demons of the Liusha River were still waiting for him to kill.

Immediately, his body became a shadow, and he instantly vanished from the spot.

"This is truly an otherworldly Master, a peerless expert!"

Shi Qingxuan said admiringly, then looked back at her own Master, shaking her head helplessly. She couldn't bear to look; he was a complete old pervert.

"Alas, Senior's merciless destruction of beauty is a pity. That Succubus was top-grade, I think it wasn't impossible..."

Yang Huo murmured softly, she was more perfect than any woman he had ever seen.

"Yang Huo, this girl wants to sever our Master-disciple relationship!"

Shi Qingxuan was directly speechless, wanting to draw a clear line between them.

"Don't, Master was wrong!"

...

On the other side.

Chu Jiang plunged into the Liusha River, harvesting one demon after another.

Liusha River Mantis Shrimp, Spirit Rank Fifth Level, Cultivated for one thousand two hundred years, with seven hundred years remaining.

Liusha River Crab General, Profound Rank First Level, Cultivated for one thousand seven hundred years, with one thousand one hundred years remaining.

Liusha River Shrimp General, Profound Rank Third Level, Cultivated for two thousand years, with one thousand years remaining.
