Chapter 45: Chapter 36: Demonization
’So this is the Demon Race. The very sa Demon Race that destroyed my family and forced
to fight them for an entire lifeti in my previous life!’
’But why would Demon Race People be here?’
’Logically, the Demon Race invasion isn’t supposed to start for another year. Why have they appeared now?’
"You remnants of the Demon Race dare to ambush ? You’re courting death!"
Suddenly, with a clear cry, the white figure surrounded by the demons leaped into the air. From her commanding position in the dark of night, she flicked her wrist, and dozens of streams of Sword Aura shot out like milky white threads.
’The asles Rain Sword? The Swordsmanship of the City Lord’s Mansion? Could that be Luoqing City?’
Seeing this Swordsmanship, Nie Yun’s eyes imdiately lit up. He was reminded of a stubborn girl from his past life.
That girl’s na was Luoqing City, the daughter of Luoshui City’s City Lord, Luoo Zhanhao!
In his past life, the entire Luoshui City had been conquered by the Demon Race. He had been lucky enough to escape with Nie Tong’s help. Later, during a trial organized by the Divine Wind Empire’s Imperial Family, he t this girl nad Luoqing City!
When they learned that they were both from Luoshui City, a sense of mutual sympathy grew between them. They helped each other through that trial, overca its challenges together, and took first place!
Afterward, they didn’t fall for each other like in so cheap cliché, have a one-night stand, or anything of the sort. They simply parted ways, and he never heard from her again.
Later, when Nie Yun stood at the world’s Peak, his information network was vast. He learned that after parting with him, the girl had perished in a battle against the Demon Race, her life tragically cut short.
It wasn’t that he had any romantic feelings for her. Rather, her sharp competence and decisive nature had left a deep impression on him. Coupled with the fact that they were both survivors from Luoshui City, he naturally felt a sense of kinship upon seeing her again!
’Yes, it really is her. Looks like I have to save her, no matter what!’
As he thought this, his eyes used the radiant starlight to focus on the girl’s face. It was indeed the sa sharp, capable figure from his past life!
Right now, Luoqing City’s face looked much younger and more delicate. She was about sixteen or seventeen, with a beauty like a lotus erging from the water—truly a face that could topple cities and nations!
"Hehehe, you’re only at the Early-Stage of the Qi Sea Fifth Layer Body Ergence Realm, the sa as . With so many of us here, let’s see how long you can last!"
The asles Rain Sword was a Noble Low-Grade Martial Art. While a single strike was quite powerful, launching more than a dozen at once made it difficult to harm the crowd of demons. As they dodged the attack, the leading Demon, who was at the Early-Stage Body Ergence Realm, let out a strange, excited cry.
"How long can I last? Hmph, the real question is how long can *you* last!"
When her attack missed, an anxious look appeared on Luoqing City’s beautiful face. Her words sounded hurried as she flicked her longsword again, sending a stream of Sword Aura straight at the Demon who had just spoken.
At the Qi Sea Fifth Layer Body Ergence Realm, one’s True Qi could leave the body to form a Sword Aura or a saber aura, doubling their combat power. An Early-Stage cultivator could only project Sword Aura about ten ters, with limited power. At the Mid-Stage, this increased to fifty ters, and at the Late-Stage, one hundred ters. As for the Late-Stage Peak, the attack range could reach around two hundred ters!
Luoqing City was clearly only attacking within a ten-ter range, and the speed of her Sword Aura wasn’t particularly fast. It was obvious at a glance that she was not only at the Early-Stage Body Ergence Realm, but had likely only just broken through.
"Hehehe!"
The Demon didn’t even dodge when he saw the Sword Aura coming. With a sinister laugh, he thrust out his five bamboo-like fingers and snatched forward. A turbid cloud of Demon Qi instantly devoured the Sword Aura.
"You think you’re a match for us? You’re far too naive!"
The Demon suddenly flicked his fingers, and the Sword Aura he had just devoured shot back out, striking the girl’s arm!
CLANG!
Struck by her own Sword Aura, Luoqing City’s longsword imdiately fell to the ground as a spray of blood blossod from her arm.
"You bastards! Do you have any idea who I am? If you dare to move against , you will face the brutal retaliation of Luoshui City!"
"Who you are? Hehehe, aren’t you Luoo Zhanhao’s daughter, Luoqing City? If you weren’t, we wouldn’t have even bothered to act!" The Demon seed to have known her identity all along, his sinister laughter laced with excitent.
"Tie her up! If Luoo Zhanhao hands over the item, fine. If not, we’ll kill the hostage!" the Demon ordered.
"Kill the hostage? Boss, this woman’s skin is so soft and tender. Before we kill her, can you let us brothers have a little fun with her?"
"Yeah! I’ve heard that human won have a fragrant scent, especially when you’re... doing it. They say the aroma is strongest then, a real pleasure. We definitely can’t kill this one. Leave her to
for a few years. It’d be worth it even if she dies in the end!"
The two demons also began to snicker, drool pooling at their feet as they spoke.
"Hehe, all this talk is getting
a little itchy too. Fine, you two grab her first. After I’m done enjoying myself, I’ll naturally give her to you!"
The first Demon nodded and waved his hand.
"Alright!" Hearing their boss agree, the two demons who had spoken jumped up in excitent. With eyes like jackals, they lunged violently at the girl.
"Ah... Don’t!"
Luoqing City had never encountered such a scene before. She trembled in fear, completely forgetting to dodge.
BANG! BANG!
But before the two demons could even get close, their heads suddenly swelled and exploded into a mushy paste in mid-air.
"Who’s there?"
With the two demons dead in an instant, the others finally saw that a figure had appeared in their midst at so unknown ti. He was the one who had killed them!
It was Nie Yun who had made a move!
"Who’s there? Heh, I am the Blood Prison Demon Venerable, the one you fear like a viper or a scorpion!"
With a long cry, Nie Yun announced the title from his past life. His entire body moved like a phantom, rushing toward the other demons who hadn’t yet reacted.
To shoot the man, first shoot his horse; to capture the thief, first capture his king. This was the strategy humans used against other humans. But against the Demon Race, you had to do the exact opposite!
First, you kill the weaker lackeys, and only then do you kill the stronger ones! This prevents the weaklings from swarming you and causing trouble while you’re fighting the expert!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Nie Yun had just advanced to the Mid-Stage True Qi Realm. The True Qi in his Qi Sea was vaster than the waves of the Luoshui River, surging out in one powerful crest after another. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen demons had fallen to the ground, completely dead!
He was able to kill these Demon Race People so quickly not because his strength had increased again, but because he had killed so many of them in his previous life. He knew their weaknesses like the back of his hand, often killing them instantly with a single strike to a vital point!
"You... Who in the world are you? How could you know the vital points of us Demon Race People! You deserve to die!"
The first Demon had originally thought his subordinates could easily kill this weak-looking kid. He never expected them all to beco corpses in the blink of an eye. He shrieked in rage, his eyes imdiately turning red.
’Crap, Demonization! It’s actually Demonization! I have to retreat, now!’
Seeing the Demon’s eyes turn red, Nie Yun’s heart went cold. Without another mont of hesitation, he flickered to Luoqing City’s side, grabbed her jade-like hand, and turned to flee.
