61: I'll lead the way for you!
There was no time to delay.
Ma Fengxiang and Liu Kun each rode a demonic steed of a rare breed, heading towards the four southern counties of Yi Province.
As for the remaining Generals and soldiers, it would take some time to gather them, so they could only proceed first.
On the way, Ma Fengxiang's head was still buzzing, and he couldn't help but ask, “Where are we going now, Baihe Prefecture City?”
Liu Kun shook his head.
“All the demons in Baihe Prefecture City were wiped out by the Immortal. With the Immortal's Swiftness, the remaining few counties should be cleared soon.”
Ma Fengxiang still couldn't understand.
Why the Immortal came to Yi Province with Liu Kun, where he came from, and why he wanted to help them slay demons.
But he knew now was not the time to ask.
That Black Armor Bear Demon was not an easy foe to deal with.
Especially with the Power Of Will blessing, it was practically unrivaled within Yi Province.
If it weren't for the fear of another great demon, whose Lifespan was nearing its end, acting desperately, Yi Province would have been completely overrun long ago.
As they passed through Baihe Prefecture City.
Ma Fengxiang looked in surprise at the surging crowd on the main street.
They were all running like mad on the main street, some laughing maniacally, others in tears.
The only thing they had in common was that the expressions on their faces were no longer numb.
At this moment, these common people had once again become living individuals.
And within the County, there was not even a trace of a demon.
It was as if they had completely vanished without a trace.
Ma Fengxiang's face couldn't help but show a look of shock.
To eradicate all the demons in the city by himself, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was dreaming.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and continued south.
Everywhere he went, it was the same.
No trace of demons was found in any of the counties.
Only cheers and shouts remained!
“This, this, this... how is this possible? Where exactly is the Immortal you mentioned?” Ma Fengxiang asked Liu Kun, his breathing rapid.
They had already passed through three counties.
Without exception, all the demons entrenched in the counties had vanished without a trace.
But Song Ming was not among them.
Liu Kun swallowed hard and said with difficulty, “Fengyuan County City, the Black Armor Bear Demon is there. The Immortal must have gone there!”
Ma Fengxiang sharply spurred his horse, “Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and help the Immortal!”
Fengyuan County City.
At the city gate.
Ma Fengxiang dismounted and was about to enter the city.
But he was pulled back by Liu Kun at his side.
He turned back angrily, and said sharply, “Why are you pulling me? The Immortal is inside slaying demons for us. As the General of Yi Province, I cannot retreat!”
Liu Kun, however, was looking up, oblivious, staring blankly at the sky above Fengyuan County City.
Ma Fengxiang was full of doubts, “What do you mean?”
He followed Liu Kun's gaze upwards towards the city, and a sense of incongruity suddenly emerged in his heart.
Upon seeing it, he immediately realized something was wrong.
He felt as if something was missing!
Ma Fengxiang vigorously scratched his slightly thinning hair, then suddenly realized, “The statues! The statues that bear demon made people build are gone!”
“Then that means, that bear demon...” Liu Kun came back to his senses, saying in disbelief.
“Dead... dead!”
Ma Fengxiang took over, swallowing with difficulty.
Liu Kun excitedly clenched his fists, his face flushed red, “Let's... let's go, we'll enter the city to find the Immortal!”
At this moment, he had never imagined that the demon plague in Yi Province would be resolved so simply!
Ma Fengxiang nodded blankly, unable to utter a word for a long time.
If Yan Hong were here, he would surely understand his feelings.
The huge stone that had weighed on his heart for so many years was gone, and he felt a sense of transcendence.
He almost couldn't hold on and knelt down.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared before him and helped him up.
“Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you for a long time!”
The speaker was Song Ming.
Liu Kun looked at the handsome figure before him, opened his mouth, and then knelt down with a thud.
“Immortal, you have rid our Yi Province of a great calamity. From now on, my life, old Liu's life, is yours. Even if you ask me to die now, I will do so willingly!”
Song Ming frowned.
He quietly moved a few steps to the side.
“Alright, get up. Don't forget, there's still another great demon!” he reminded.
Ma Fengxiang quickly said, “Immortal, please follow me. I know the location of that great demon. I will lead the way for you!”
Song Ming glanced at him, then released his hand.
“Mm, then let's go!”
Ma Fengxiang then led the horse over, saying very respectfully, “Please, Immortal, mount the horse!”
The General of Yi Province personally leading a horse for Song Ming.
Such treatment, even in a TV drama, would probably not dare to be portrayed this way!
But it happened to Song Ming.
However, Song Ming shook his head.
It wasn't that he didn't want to ride a horse, but as a Professionals from Blue Star, he simply didn't know how to ride a horse.
Moreover, with the Divine Speed Magic Ring applied, traveling was much faster than riding a horse.
“No need, you just lead the way!”
Ma Fengxiang nodded, saying nothing more.
Just from how this Immortal appeared before him without a trace just now, he had no awareness at all.
He could tell how terrifying the Immortal's speed was!
...
At the border of Yi Province.
On the peak of an unnamed mountain, nestled among green bamboo and weeds, a slightly cramped cave entrance was faintly visible.
Ma Fengxiang arrived at this cave again and couldn't help but sigh.
If the Immortal had not come, how much better would his situation as the General of Yi Province have been?
Ma Fengxiang quickly walked in.
Deep inside the cave, on a crude stone platform, lay an elephant demon, about two zhang tall, taller than an ordinary human.
But it was emaciated, clearly not far from its end.
Feeling Ma Fengxiang's arrival, the elephant demon opened its eyes and looked at him calmly.
“Heh, are you here to bring me resources and food again? Why has it been so long this time?”
There was a hint of reproach in its words.
Ma Fengxiang took a deep look at the elephant demon, then said, “You've truly worked hard all these years, so it's time to truly free you!”
The corner of the elephant demon's mouth curled up, a playful smile on its face.
“Oh? Aren't you afraid that if I die, your Yi Province will be completely lost?”
Ma Fengxiang lowered his head and gave a bitter smile.
Afraid, of course he was afraid!
If it weren't for this elephant demon, Yi Province would probably have fallen into the hands of the bear demon long ago.
But...
That damn bear demon is dead, what am I still afraid of?!
Ma Fengxiang suddenly looked up, pointing at the elephant demon before him without hesitation, “Immortal, it's him!”
“Who?”
The elephant demon was startled, suddenly stood up, and was about to grab the weapon nearby.
Just then, Song Ming appeared in the cave.
A deep purple ring suddenly shot out from his hand, instantly enveloping the elephant demon.
The upgraded Sealing Magic Ring.
A true damage of up to 420,000 per second.
The elephant demon only had time to let out a howl before it abruptly stopped.
Then its entire body crumbled inch by inch, shattering into a pile of dust!
[Killed Level 46 Platinum Elephant Demon, gained Experience +172050]
[BOSS dropped equipment automatically picked up]
[Obtained Level 40 Purple Equipment: Golden Tooth Long Saber]
Song Ming was somewhat surprised, not expecting this elephant demon to be Level 46.
One level higher than that bear demon.
It was an unexpected gain!
