29: Fight, Old Sheep Demon

"Take a few people and come with me to Daxing Village!" Chu Jiang's expression changed, and with a movement of his figure, he immediately sped off in the direction of Daxing Village.

He suppressed his killing intent to the extreme, forcing himself to calm down.

This demon had left a note, explicitly naming him.

Their goal was not the common people, but himself. Slaughtering the village was merely to enrage him and make him feel helpless at the sight of such a situation.

Within the borders of White Stone County, the only ones with such intelligence were that group of Sheep Demons.

They were born liking to play these kinds of tricks.

"The next one, in all likelihood, is Daxing Village!"

He had awakened in Daxing Village, where he had slain the Pig Demon and the offspring of that Heavenly Evil Great Demon.

If he guessed right, he was walking straight into the demon's trap.

If he guessed wrong, Daxing Village would be destroyed.

Behind him, Liu Ding and Li Dagang hurriedly brought a few men to follow.

But Chu Jiang's speed was simply too fast; he soon disappeared from sight.

Fortunately, they all knew the location of Daxing Village, and everyone started to chase with all their might.

"Ah..."

Just as Chu Jiang approached Daxing Village, he heard a miserable scream coming from the village.

Bang!

Chu Jiang's speed surged again, and with one step, he entered a dilapidated courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, he saw a middle-aged woman being crazily devoured by a Black Skin Dog Demon. Even though she struggled incessantly, it was to no avail.

Beside her was a young girl, crying out in despair.

"Mother... No..."

The middle-aged woman looked at the girl, wanting to say something, but because her throat had been bitten through, she kept spurting blood and couldn't utter a single word.

This mother and daughter were none other than the Su family mother and daughter, the household where he had stayed that night.

In the final moments of her life, she saw Chu Jiang, a glimmer of hope appeared, and she revealed a pleading look.

It was as if she were saying, "Save my child."

"Die!"

Clang!

The Blood Sun Saber unsheathed instantly, a blood-colored shadow cutting through the sky.

The Black Skin Dog Demon sensed a chill behind its back, dropped the mother, and turned to flee.

"You want to run? Where do you think you can go?"

The Blood Sun Saber seemed to lock onto the Black Skin Dog Demon, striking it squarely in the back and severing it at the waist.

Its entire body was split in two, and the immense power attached to the blade's edge shattered it into two heaps of minced meat, which fell within the courtyard walls.

[Void-level Black Skin Dog Demon, Cultivated for 95 years, remaining Lifespan 30 years]

...

Chu Jiang's eyes remained cold; he scooped up Su Yaner and left the place.

He could sense that the demonic Qi in the village was very dense, and there was far more than just this one demon.

If he left this girl behind, it was very likely she would fall victim to the demons again.

Inside a thatched cottage a few dozen meters away.

A Black Skin Dog Demon was sprawled on a cowshed, its movements extremely twisted, its mouth constantly letting out roars, its eyes scarlet.

Chu Jiang looked closely and saw that this Black Skin Dog Demon was actually... towards a cow, constantly letting out mournful cries, but the Black Skin Dog Demon seemed not to hear it at all.

"Damn beast!"

Chu Jiang grabbed with one hand, light shimmering on his feet, and stomped down hard on the Black Skin Dog Demon's charging area. The dog demon struggled with all its might but couldn't break free in the slightest.

"Chu Jiang, this daddy favoring this cow is its blessing! How dare you stop me!" the Black Skin Dog Demon roared, clearly acquainted with him.

"Awoo!"

The Black Skin Dog Demon felt a sudden chill in its lower body and suddenly felt that it was missing something important. A pain that could not be described in words assaulted its entire body.

Its dog eyes rolled back, nearing suffocation.

Its black claws reached down immediately, only to touch a mass of flesh and blood; it was nearly in despair.

"I want you to die!"

The Black Skin Dog Demon felt that its dog life was completely hopeless and let out a roar.

However, Chu Jiang's next foot stepped directly onto the Black Skin Dog Demon's skull.

Crack!

Splat!

First came the sound of a skull cracking, followed immediately by the sight of brains splattering everywhere.

The Black Skin Dog Demon died on the spot, having been made to experience a special kind of sour-sweet sensation before dying.

[Void-level Black Skin Dog Demon, Cultivated for 56 years, remaining Lifespan 70 years]

Yaner's head was buried in Chu Jiang's embrace, her eyes filled with both fear and satisfaction, and brimming with tears.

She had seen her only relative die right before her eyes; endless despair and pain almost swallowed her whole.

Lord Chu had avenged her, but her relative would never come back.

...

Chu Jiang used his hand to soothe Su Yaner's emotions, then looked around.

"Awoo!"

"Ugh!"

"Urgh!"

The Black Skin Dog Demon's miserable screams alerted the nearby demons, who roared crazily and gathered quickly.

Suddenly.

An Old Sheep Demon with two black demonic patterns on its brow, carrying a giant axe, appeared before several demons with an indifferent gaze, looking coldly at Chu Jiang.

"Chu Jiang, I knew it, you would definitely come. I guessed right."

The Old Sheep Demon revealed a sinister smile, seemingly extremely excited by Chu Jiang's appearance.

"Only you alone have the courage!"

His big brother always said the time wasn't right, that he couldn't take revenge yet and needed to wait for a while, but today he was determined to slay this guy.

To commemorate the spirit of his nephew in heaven.

"My nephew, so intelligent, a great talent of our Sheep Demon race, you actually killed him! How dare you, ah..."

"I, today, will have you pay with your life!"

Chu Jiang looked at the Old Sheep Demon, his eyes narrowing, and laughed wildly: "Not only did I butcher your nephew, I will also butcher you..."

Chu Jiang put Su Yaner down, instantly disappeared from where he stood, and arrived behind the Old Sheep Demon.

The Old Sheep Demon's face showed slight alarm, and he immediately turned around; a blood-colored long saber was already swinging toward his brain, and he felt as if the sky was filled with blood shadows.

Whoosh!

Two axes were drawn instantly, colliding with the Blood Sun Saber.

A massive counter-shock force passed through his dual axes, and the saber cut open his chest, exposing the internal organs inside, which were a terrifying black-red.

"Damn it!"

The Old Sheep Demon was furious; if his axe had been drawn a moment slower, he would have been pierced through the chest by this bastard, and whether he lived or died would be up in the air.

"To be able to take the first move of my Blood Saber, you have enough reason to be proud!"

Chu Jiang said indifferently, the Blood Sun Saber in his hand igniting once more.

"Slash!"

Chu Jiang's footwork was like a ghost, a fierce wind carrying a blade edge that destroyed everything instantly surged toward the Old Sheep Demon, intending to suppress and kill him right here.

"Damn it!"

The Old Sheep Demon was furious beyond measure. Isn't this the line we demons use when slaughtering Human Race Martial Artists? How did you, kid, end up saying it?

"You are arrogant!"

The demonic patterns on the Old Sheep Demon's brow flashed crazily, his aura surging wildly, and the axes in his hands carried the force of ten thousand jin as they slammed toward Chu Jiang's Blood Sun Saber.

"Mountain-Breaking Axe!"

The other axe chopped domineeringly at Chu Jiang's abdomen.

What shocked him was that the axe felt as if it had struck profound iron, leaving only a faint white mark, not even managing to cut through the outermost layer of skin.

"Are you even human?"

Chu Jiang paid no attention, gathering True Qi in his left palm, golden light shining, and struck heavily upon the Old Sheep Demon's body.

Bang!

The Old Sheep Demon felt as if his entire body was about to explode; his body flew backward dozens of meters, smashing several courtyard walls into powder, and he spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
