79: crush

Qin Yue arrived at the dungeon the little Yao Race member mentioned, and the scene within completely exceeded his expectations.

In Qin Yue's inherent impression, demons were cruel and bloodthirsty; demon prisons were often tightly linked with keywords like gore, slaughter, and brutality.

However, Qinghua Village's dungeon was nothing like that. The entire dungeon was clean and tidy, devoid of any bloody scent, and instead filled with the fragrant aroma of burning spices.

Under Qin Yue's Super-Sense vision, everyone in the dungeon was devoutly praying together. The content of their prayers was nothing more than begging for divine forgiveness and yearning for divine salvation.

To be honest, Qin Yue was momentarily stunned by this situation, but he quickly realized that this situation was even more terrifying than bloody slaughter.

Bloody slaughter only affects a person's physical body, and their spirit is filled with fear and resistance. However, with this kind of rule and faith-based control over the people in the dungeon, it was unlikely that the prisoners' resistance would be very strong.

Qin Yue could, of course, see that many people in the dungeon were only going through the motions when praying, but they didn't know that after doing so for a long time, they wouldn't be far from assimilation.

Qin Yue didn't care who was actively praying and who was passively going through the motions.

Protective Aura toxins and Protective Aura threads, a two-pronged approach, instantly brought everyone down. The entire dungeon immediately became silent, falling into a deathly stillness.

Just then,

"Boom"!

A thunderous sound erupted from the main gate of Qinghua Village!

Then, "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom"!

A series of impacts followed.

Qin Yue instantly knew something was wrong. This wasn't according to the original plan; Senior Brother Shi Qianjun was supposed to challenge them first!

But with the arrow on the string, Qin Yue had no time to worry about what was happening at the gate. He started searching Qinghua Village from the inside, room by room.

He took down every demon or Human Race member he encountered. By the time Qin Yue had finished searching all the rooms in the back of Qinghua Village, the sounds of battle from the front were still continuing.

Qin Yue thought, could it be a great demon of the Ninggang Realm that has arrived!

Otherwise, why would Senior Brother Shi Qianjun's battle be so fierce!

He just didn't know if Senior Brother Shi was fighting a native Yao Race member from the Small World or a competitor who had descended like them.

Qin Yue wasn't worried that Senior Brother Shi Qianjun would be defeated quickly, because the Martial Peak Martial Artist's combat strategy has always been: 'While I can't kill you, you can't kill me either, and I might even wear you down to death.'

Qin Yue recalled the Mad Demon Saber Technique he had learned earlier. This saber technique was full of Martial Peak's characteristics: 'Since you can't kill me, I'll exchange my life for yours and kill you.'

Thinking of this, Qin Yue, who had already completed the cleanup of the back of Qinghua Village, did not immediately go to support Senior Brother Shi Qianjun. Instead, he started from the back and thoroughly swept through Qinghua Village.

Qin Yue's clearing speed was extremely fast. Because of the battle at the main gate of Qinghua Village, all the powerful demons had gone to fight at the gate or watch the excitement. Those left behind were basically ordinary believers or small fry. During the cleanup, Qin Yue never encountered any decent resistance.

By the time Qin Yue returned to the main gate of Qinghua Village, everyone in Qinghua Village, except for those at the gate, had already fallen.

In front of the main gate.

To Qin Yue's surprise, Senior Brother Shi was actually fighting two opponents: a demon below the Ninggang Realm and a Liquid Transformation Realm believer.

However, seeing the several demons and Human Race members lying around Senior Brother Shi and the demon he was fighting, it was clear that these demons had sent out all their experts, but the other demons and Martial Artists had all been knocked down by Senior Brother Shi.

Of course, these besieging demons and believers had no idea that Martial Peak Martial Artists feared encirclement the least.

With Martial Peak's body tempering, let alone these demons below the Ninggang Realm, even if a Ninggang Realm demon personally made a move, breaking Senior Brother Shi's defense would not be an easy task.

After watching Senior Brother Shi fight the demon and the believer for a while, Qin Yue finally figured out what kind of demon it was and why the believer and the demon, working together, could fight Senior Brother Shi back and forth for so long.

It turned out that the demon was a rare Elephant Demon.

It was very difficult for an Elephant Demon to become a demon because elephants are already very rare in this world.

But once an elephant becomes a demon, it can possess a powerful physique that ordinary Yao Race members do not have. That's why this Elephant Demon, with a cultivation below the Ninggang Realm, could fight Senior Brother Shi to a standstill.

And that believer must have practiced a combined attack technique with the Elephant Demon. The Elephant Demon focused on defense, and the believer focused on offense, actually managing to hold Senior Brother Shi in a stalemate.

Seeing the lively battle ahead, Qin Yue didn't go up to add to the chaos. He simply ambushed the demons who were watching the excitement from behind, one by one.

Because there were no Ninggang Realm existences among this group of demons, not a single demon or Human Race member noticed anything unusual until Qin Yue had taken down all the believers and demons in Qinghua Village.

Once all the spectators were controlled, Qin Yue appeared before all the demons and believers, standing in the best viewing position to watch Senior Brother Shi, the Elephant Demon, and the believer's battle.

Senior Brother Shi's weapon was a golden iron staff, and the Elephant Demon's weapon was a black iron rod. These two weapons were of similar length, both created to leverage the strong and powerful characteristics of this one human and one demon.

The iron staff and iron rod constantly clashed, emitting "boom, boom, boom" sounds.

And the Human Race believer held two white short spears. Whenever Senior Brother Shi wanted to aggressively attack the Elephant Demon, the Human Race member would thrust out the white short spears, blocking Senior Brother Shi's attack.

Although the combined attack technique of the Elephant Demon and the believer was very powerful, almost allowing them to resist a Ninggang Realm Martial Artist with a Liquid Transformation Realm body.

However, Qin Yue could see that Senior Brother Shi had not been fighting with his full strength all along. He was merely dragging the demon and the believer, creating time for Qin Yue to act in the rear.

Qin Yue saw that the battle was endlessly booming and shouted to Senior Brother Shi, "Senior Brother, stop playing around! I'm all done here, and I guarantee not a single demon escaped!"

The two humans and one demon fighting heard this voice and simultaneously turned to look at Qin Yue.

Senior Brother Shi, of course, didn't react much, just laughed heartily, and the golden iron staff in his hand accelerated, smashing towards the Elephant Demon's head with a speed the Elephant Demon and the believer had never seen before.

The Elephant Demon and the believer, however, were greatly surprised to see a ground full of fallen demons and believers on Qin Yue's side. They already felt that the Martial Artist opposite them was difficult to deal with, and now this Martial Artist had help and had taken down all of Qinghua Village's combat power in advance.

The Elephant Demon and the believer had a telepathic understanding. Without discussing, they jointly launched their strongest combined attack at Shi Qianjun, intending to force Senior Brother Shi back and then escape.

But even though the demon and the believer had overestimated Senior Brother Shi's ability, they still underestimated the gap between the Liquid Transformation Realm and the Ninggang Realm.

They saw Senior Brother Shi's iron staff, the Elephant Demon's iron rod, and the believer's short spears clash together.

Instead of blocking the Martial Artist's iron staff as the Elephant Demon and the believer had anticipated, the iron staff struck and sent both the Elephant Demon's iron rod and the believer's short spears flying.

That wasn't all. Senior Brother Shi's iron staff continued to accelerate, and a single horizontal sweep struck the believer in the waist, throwing him onto the Elephant Demon's shoulder.

The believer was directly broken in half at the waist, and with the Elephant Demon's thick hide and tough flesh, its entire right shoulder was shattered by this blow.
