168: The real demon

Long Pingsheng's words caused everyone present to lower their heads in shame.

This elder dedicated his life to the people, sacrificing so much for Huaxia; he was the most revered elder of the entire Huaxia Clan.

When he spoke, even Tie Weiguo had to bow his head and listen to the instruction.

In truth, which one of the high-ranking officials present was not patriotic?

It was just that before the Star Abyss descended, the Huaxia Clan's national power was already at the pinnacle of the world.

Just like in the workplace, when there are no external enemies, the "comrades" beside you become your greatest foes.

Thus, internal strife and scheming became the norm.

After a moment, Tie Weiguo sighed heavily and said, "Elder Long, originally I should have recused myself regarding the matter of Huang Chen."

"However, since you have broken the ice today, I will offer a humble opinion to invite better ones, and state my position first."

"I also believe that only by honoring Huang Chen as the supreme leader can the entire Huaxia Clan truly unite. Currently, only he possesses this strength and prestige."

"What do you all think?"

After speaking, Tie Weiguo looked straight ahead calmly.

After a short pause, a middle-aged man pondered and asked, "Honoring Huang Chen as the supreme leader... to what extent?"

Hearing this, everyone involuntarily looked at Tie Weiguo. The question asked by the middle-aged man was exactly what they wanted to ask.

This concerned the future status of them and their families in Huaxia.

Tie Weiguo solemnly said, "Since ancient times, the supreme ruler of Huaxia has been called... the Human Emperor!"

Long Pingsheng nodded in satisfaction after listening.

However, upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd shifted slightly.

The middle-aged man looked grave and spoke tremulously, "Could it be that..."

Long Pingsheng glanced at the middle-aged man and slowly said:

"Pushing this forward cannot be accomplished overnight; the specific procedures still require careful consideration."

"But, the most crucial core point will not change: Huaxia will honor Huang Chen as the supreme leader."

"If you feel that you are strong enough, you are free to leave the Official Faction with your people at any time."

After speaking, Long Pingsheng turned and left the conference room directly, effectively drawing the final curtain on this meeting... Sakura Country Satellite City No. 9.

The deafening roar of skills continued incessantly. At this moment, Huang Chen's two figures had already transformed into the core of a death storm.

"baka! Stop him! For the Yamato Spirit!"

A Trial Taker, with a ferocious expression, raised a glimmering katana. Metal Element Users' energy continuously gathered at the tip of the blade.

"Stream Severing Slash!"

Three streaks of blade light tore through the air, shrieking as they slashed toward Huang Chen.

This was a Level 30 skill of the Metal Element Users' island techniques.

At this moment, Huang Chen's ears were filled with the gibberish sounds around him, and he couldn't be bothered to care what these little japanese were shrieking about.

"Zzt... Boom!"

A flash of lightning passed, and the warrior, along with a dozen charge attackers around him, was instantly reduced to ash in the blinding electric light before they could even scream.

Every moment, countless skills from all directions landed on Huang Chen.

However, these skills acted like death warrants, turning Huang Chen into a giant, ten-meter-radius hedgehog.

Wherever he passed, he didn't even need to attack; the little japanese were all reflected back and killed.

And these little japanese, under the effect of the Northern Darkness Aura, transformed into massive healing, filling Huang Chen's health bar, which was already longer than their lives.

This was no longer a battle, but a unilateral, astonishingly efficient slaughter.

In just ten minutes, at least tens of thousands of little devils had died by Huang Chen's hand.

Even the most fanatical Bushido spirit finally reached its limit of endurance when faced with the reality of absolute power crushing them and their comrades dying in swaths like ants.

"D-Demon! He is a true demon!"

"We can't win! We're just throwing our lives away!"

"Run! Hurry and run!"

Someone, unknown who, was the first to let out a cry of collapse, like the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Fear spread wildly among the Sakura Country Trial Takers like a plague.

There was no longer any fanaticism in their eyes, only boundless terror and despair.

Countless people screamed, fleeing desperately in all directions.

Because there were truly too many people, and they were scattering in all four directions, Huang Chen had no way to chase them all.

Soon, the dense crowd vanished, leaving behind only a thick layer of equipment covering the streets.

Huang Chen had killed to his heart's content, standing atop the equipment and laughing up at the sky.

He didn't bother collecting the equipment.

Because it was truly trash, the kind he couldn't even look at.

"After this battle, probably no little devils will dare to come here again," Huang Chen mused. "Perhaps I can have Tie Shengnan send some garrison troops over to directly occupy the little devils' Satellite City No. 9."

The Star Abyss allocates a certain number of monsters around each faction's city based on the population size of that faction.

Resources are finite, so the only way to ensure your own people are well-fed is to make sure everyone else starves.

The more Huang Chen thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. The Forbidden City's levels, equipment, and bone structure far surpassed those of the little devils.

They would only need a few thousand people; even if the little devils came out in full force, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

Just as Huang Chen opened his contact list, intending to have Tie Shengnan assemble the army, a message from Tie Weiguo arrived.

[Tie Weiguo: If you're done killing, do you have time to come to the City Lord's Mansion for a chat?]

After reading the message, the corner of Huang Chen's mouth curled up.

This was truly a pillow delivered right when he was sleepy.

Although the Forbidden City was strong, their current mission was primarily focused on gaining prestige.

Which Huaxia faction currently had the most people? And the most spare capacity to send out a garrison?

Two words: Official Faction!

Moreover, the Official Faction's army had a deep obsession with expanding territory and achieving great military feats.

Furthermore, their opponents were the little devils.

Having made his decision, Huang Chen immediately hoisted Nakamori Meicai onto his shoulder. With a single Teleport, the two appeared outside the inn in Area 886 of Huaxia Main City... Area 49101 Public Channel.

A Hot-Blooded Youth: "Kill! Kill all the little devils! Great God Huang Chen is awesome!!!"

Chuuni Teenager: "Great God Huang Chen, can you please show mercy? Don't kill them all, at least leave a few teachers for us!"

Mo Xujiang: "Latest Battle Report: Devils have collapsed! Battle over. Full video from the best perspective is now on hot sale, 10 gold per copy. Honest business, DM to order!"

Sakura Clan Member: "This person is utterly barbaric. If he is allowed to develop, he will absolutely be the sorrow of all Star Abyss factions in the future. I hereby call upon all factions to unite and exterminate this fellow!!"

Spectator 1: "Indeed, this person is addicted to killing and will soon become a great disaster for the Star Abyss. We should definitely prepare early."

Spectator 2: "The person upstairs is right. Killing tens of thousands of people without batting an eye, and laughing loudly while doing it—this person is definitely a demon, a lunatic, a pervert!"

...The public channel completely exploded.

The Huaxia Clan's ecstasy, pride, and reverence for Huang Chen reached their peak, with constant screen-filling slogans.

Meanwhile, other factions were a mix of shock, dread, and condemnation.

With the conclusion of this incident, Huang Chen's name shifted in the minds of other factions from being the number one person of star abyss to being synonymous with 'demon'.

However, Huang Chen paid no attention to the condemning remarks about him on the public channel.

He only regretted that he only had two hands and three feet, making his killing speed too slow.

Given the devils' nature, if they were allowed to develop even a tiny bit of strength, it would be strange if they didn't engage in aggression. Therefore, Huang Chen killed whenever he needed to, showing no mercy.

Glancing at Nakamori Meicai, who stood blank-eyed beside the manor, Huang Chen had a thought. Their two figures instantly appeared at the City Lord's Mansion in Huaxia Satellite City No. 1.

The two characters "Yanhuang" on the plaque in front of the mansion were vigorous and powerful.

This was the garrison base that the Forbidden City rented to the Official Faction power, Yanhuang.
