59: Targeted strikes
Yi Province.
Baihe Prefecture City.
The once prosperous County no longer existed, only ruins remained.
At the half-collapsed city gate, two demonic guards sat, leaning against the city wall and dozing.
Further inside, there wasn't a single soul on the long street.
The streets were muddy, with crushed rotting flesh and white bones scattered everywhere.
The entire street reeked of a disgusting, putrid smell.
Inside the dilapidated houses, pairs of numb, lifeless eyes stared out the windows.
Then, they lowered their heads dejectedly.
They never looked up again!
However, teams of demonic monsters in tattered armor would occasionally patrol the city.
The armor they wore looked like it had been stripped from some dead person.
It was extremely ill-fitting.
But they insisted on acting like Humans, carrying weapons on their shoulders and strolling leisurely through the city.
In front of the still relatively intact County Governor's mansion.
About ten numb-looking commoners were herded by demons into the kitchen in the backyard.
Today was the day that Lord Baihu, the 'County Governor' of Baihe, was hosting guests.
Inside the main hall of the inner courtyard, it was surprisingly lively.
The hall, originally used for discussions, had an extremely elegant interior design.
But after Baihu arrived.
Everything was roughly torn down and thrown aside.
Only rows of long tables remained, serving as a dining hall for banquets.
In the main seat, Baihu sat cross-legged on the ground, his nearly two-zhang tall body exuding an immense sense of oppression.
His muscles were coiled, and his spine was prominent.
The silk clothes, made of fine material, were stretched tightly by his muscular body, seeming as if they would tear with the slightest movement.
Before him, plates of severed limbs, internal organs, and bloody flesh almost completely covered the table.
Baihu then picked up a wine jar from the side; the enormous jar looked no different from a ceramic bowl in his hand.
But the jar didn't contain wine; it held crimson, steaming blood.
He drank the blood in the jar in one gulp, not caring at all that his clothes got stained.
"Everyone, I've had my fill, help yourselves!"
Seeing this, the other lesser demons also raised their cups and drank them dry.
"Great King, you truly have an immense capacity!"
"Yes, yes, Great King, you are truly generous!"
All the lesser demons began to flatter him.
But Baihu's eyes turned red, and he directly smashed the wine jar in his hand at the nearest lesser demon.
"What 'Great King' nonsense! If anyone dares to call me that again, I'll kill them!"
"The Divine Lord ordered me to take charge of Baihe Prefecture City, so I am the new County Governor of Baihe Prefecture City!"
"From now on, you will all call me Lord County Governor, do you understand?!"
In the main seat, Baihu roared.
The other lesser demons trembled, nodding like pounding garlic.
No one dared to provoke Baihu again.
Crunch, crunch.
Baihu devoured the food on the table like a whirlwind, sweeping it all away.
Then, he wiped his claws on his silk clothes and sternly shouted at the Human servant outside the door:
"Damn it, how is this little Human flesh enough for anyone to eat? Bring me ten more! If even one is missing, I'll eat you first!"
That Human servant was originally a Disciple of a School.
But after the city fell, he became a prisoner of the demons.
To survive, he could only aid the oppressor.
Looking at Baihu, who was seated in the main position, the servant in green clenched his fist, then released it.
By then, he had already lost the courage to strike at the demons.
With a long sigh, he stepped towards the backyard.
Just then.
The originally dim sky suddenly brightened.
In an instant, winds and clouds surged.
Accompanied by rumbling thunder.
He looked up and saw a golden-yellow Great Seal appearing above the County Governor's mansion.
"This is? General has made his move!"
The power emanating from the Great Seal above made his legs tremble, almost causing him to fall to the ground.
The numb expression on his face also showed a flicker of emotion at this moment.
"Can, can we win?"
Inside the hall.
Feeling the sudden appearance of the golden Great Seal above the County Governor's mansion.
Baihu sneered, and his already muscular body swelled even further.
His clothes completely ripped apart.
"Old turtle, you dare to strike at me? It seems you don't want your remaining four counties, do you?!"
He reached for the weapon placed beside him, then roared and rushed upwards.
The roof was immediately torn open.
Golden-yellow light also spilled into the hall at this moment.
Just then.
The golden-yellow Great Seal above instantly descended.
Carrying unparalleled power.
Baihu was instantly struck, flying back into the hall even faster than he came.
He crashed onto the main table.
The Great Seal continued to descend.
Until all the demons within the County Governor's mansion were completely suppressed.
Boom.
The entire Baihe Prefecture City felt like it had experienced a small earthquake.
All the commoners still alive in the city stared blankly at the golden-yellow Great Seal descending from the sky.
They also saw the scene of the demons on the long street being completely suppressed.
"Immortal, the Immortal has come to save us!"
"This must be the Heavens knowing that Baihe Prefecture City was plagued by demons, so they sent down divine punishment to slay demons and eradicate evil!"
"They're all dead, all of them are dead, we survived, boo hoo!"
Everyone knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to the sky, not even noticing the blood on their foreheads!
......
Outside the city gate.
Liu Kun had just pointed out the direction of the County Governor's mansion to Song Ming.
Then he saw him extend his right hand, and the sky immediately changed color.
Amidst thunder and lightning, a golden stream of light, carrying ten thousand golden-yellow clouds, descended from the Nine Heavens into the Mortal world.
Its target was directly the Baihe Prefecture City before them.
Before he could even ask what was happening, the golden-yellow Great Seal instantly enveloped the County.
He only felt a tremor.
Then everything returned to silence.
Liu Kun swallowed, staring dumbfounded at Baihe Prefecture City in the distance.
Under this strike, like a divine punishment.
All the demons were executed!
"Let's go, to the next stop!"
[Killed Level 11 Wild Boar Demon, gained experience +250]
[Killed Level 15 Black Armored Centipede Demon, gained experience +520]
[Killed Level 21 Golden Leopard Demon, gained experience +2200]
[Killed Level 35 White Tiger Demon, gained experience +51500]
......
[You obtained Level 30 Purple Equipment: King of Beasts Armor]
Song Ming looked at the constantly appearing experience notifications, then turned and walked towards the direction of the next County.
With a damage range of up to eighty li.
He didn't need to enter the city; he only needed to know the location.
Then he could directly strike at the designated point.
Even the lesser demons scattered within the County could not escape Song Ming's skill damage.
Moreover, his Heaven and Earth Seal only caused damage to demons.
Mortals, however, would not be affected at all.
That's why he was too lazy to even enter the city, directly activating his skill from a distance!
After all, these were just appetizers!
"Im-Im-Immortal's methods, these are truly and utterly Immortal's methods!"
Liu Kun finally understood why Yan Hong called this young man a banished Immortal.
That level of attack, it was not an exaggeration to call it a natural disaster.
The demons of an entire County were all slain by him in an instant.
That tiger demon couldn't even put up the slightest resistance.
Who in Great Gan could do that?
Liu Kun's heart was incredibly complex, with shock and confusion, but even more so, joy.
With this Immortal here.
Great Gan was finally saved!
"Immortal, wait... wait for me!" Liu Kun shouted.
He had only hesitated for a moment, but he could no longer see Song Ming's back, so he quickly quickened his pace to follow him!
