Half a day later, the drought demon entered the surrounding counties and towns of Pingcheng!
Slaughtering all in all directions!
Herds of cattle and sheep died mysteriously, countless villagers fell ill with fever, and pustules bled. The plague was rampant!
Wherever the drought demon passed, nothing grew, and countless people died; the situation grew increasingly dire.
When King Kim Jae-shin received the news, he was heartbroken and could hardly breathe. The Kim Kingdom was weak and relied on the taxes and grain tributes from its people. This disaster made the already impoverished treasury even worse.
To his relief, however, his daughter returned safely to the palace, Princess Kim Ji-hyun.
"Daughter, you scared your father to death! If anything happened to you, how could I live with myself?" Jin Zaishen hugged his daughter tightly, as if afraid she would run away.
Jin Zhixian comforted him, "Dad, look, I'm alright, aren't I? By the way, I met a great master from the Great Xia Dynasty this time. He saved me. His medical skills are amazing. With his prescription, our people will be saved!"
"The Great Xia people?" Kim Jae-shin asked with a wary expression.
Although the Jin Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom had a good relationship, he was equally wary of the people of the Great Xia Kingdom.
"Hmph, you can't trust the people of Great Xia either. Don't you know? This drought demon was brought by them!"
“Dad, he’s different from the other people in Daxia…” Jin Zhixian immediately tried to explain for Lin Yu.
Just then, a servant rushed in.
"Your Majesty, the drought demon has already entered Pingcheng. General Jin has led the Imperial Guards to intercept it. Your Majesty, you should leave quickly. The drought demon is too ferocious. Even General Jin may not be able to stop it. If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"
"What?!" Kim Jae-shin couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Dad, why don't you leave quickly? I'll stay and control the situation!" Kim Ji-hyun said hurriedly.
Jin Zaishen immediately shook his head, "Daughter, I can't leave. You should go, you should go quickly!"
"dad……"
"Guards, escort the princess out of the city through the south gate, quickly!"
Without saying a word, Kim Jaeshin had Kim Ji-hyun dragged out.
He himself donned the battle robe.
As the ruler of a country, he naturally cannot leave at this time; he must fight alongside his soldiers!
This also gives the people time to escape.
But his idea was clearly naive.
The terror of the drought demon far exceeded his imagination. It was simply beyond human power to withstand.
At this moment, General Jin Xishun, who is on the front line, feels it the most!
This guy is terrifying! He wiped out an entire legion in the blink of an eye!
The approaching soldiers fell like withered flowers, turning into dried corpses!
That's how terrifying it is!
"Second Battalion Commander, bring my Italian cannon over here!"
"put!"
"Release it again!"
"Keep releasing!"
Boom boom boom!
The roar of Italian cannons echoed throughout the city.
Huge cannonballs blasted towards the sinister-looking man with fangs who was walking from a distance!
In an instant, large areas of buildings collapsed and fell down.
Smoke lingers amidst the ruins!
"Hit!"
Everyone couldn't help but cheer.
In their view, under such powerful firepower, even if the drought demon was incredibly powerful, it should have fallen, and might have been blasted into dust.
But no, it didn't.
After the smoke cleared, bang bang bang!
The sound of steady footsteps approached, and a sinister figure reappeared in everyone's sight.
Wow!
Everyone was in an uproar; it felt unbelievable.
What the hell is this thing? It's not dead even after doing all that!
"Damn it, suicide squad, follow me! I'm going to use explosives to kill him!"
The Jin army was not lacking in courage; at the critical moment, they even formed a suicide squad, carrying explosives and rushing forward to launch a suicide attack.
But it was no use. Before they could even get close, the explosive charge was ignited by the high temperature and set off like fireworks.
Dozens of vibrant lives have once again slipped away before our very eyes!
"Ahhh!" Jin Xishun went crazy. In all his years of fighting in the north and south, this was the first time he had felt so frustrated and helpless.
"We'll fight him to the death! Get the nuclear warheads ready!" Jin Xishun roared.
"General, you can't!"
His subordinates immediately tried to stop him, saying, "General, the nuclear contamination is too severe. Even if we can kill the drought demon, we will pay a heavy price! At least the entire capital will be gone, and our economy will be set back by twenty years! Moreover, there are still civilians who haven't been evacuated. We can't abandon them!"
"Then what can we do? Just stand by and watch him slaughter the country?" Kim Hee-soon said angrily.
If the drought demon is allowed to continue its rampage, it will not only affect the capital, but the entire Jin Kingdom will cease to exist.
After all, the drought demon in history almost wiped out the Japanese kingdom. At that time, the Japanese population plummeted by two-thirds, and the Jin dynasty was not even as big as the Japanese kingdom!
brush!
The drought demon darted forward and advanced several dozen miles.
He appeared in the middle of a legion, and with a wave of his hand, all the soldiers flew up, as if their fate had been choked, completely unable to move, their eyes filled with terror and fear!
Pfft!
The next second, everyone exploded into a bloody mist, eventually turning into a torrent that was absorbed by the drought demon.
He came to the city to suck blood; he wanted to grow and evolve!
In such a short time, he has become even stronger than when he fought Lin Yu and Park Eun-soo!
However, at this moment, he twisted his neck and looked at the commander's position at the back of the team with a cold smile.
With his intelligence, he naturally knew who was in the commander's seat!
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch his king, so he immediately turned into a blur and charged at Kim Hee-soon!
"General!"
"not good!"
"Quickly, protect the General!"
The soldiers charged forward one after another to protect Jin Xishun.
But it was no use; no one could stop the drought demon, not even for a moment!
In the blink of an eye, the drought demon had arrived in front of Jin Xishun.
This was clearly a scorching plague god, but when facing him, Kim Hee-soon felt an unprecedented chill.
fear!
The next second, a huge hand, as sharp as a butcher's knife, swung down towards him.
At this critical moment!
brush!
A broadsword suddenly flew over and, with a swish, severed the arm.
The drought demon's expression changed, and it quickly retreated to the side. Its severed arm slowly grew back, and it stared angrily at the suddenly appearing figure.
This was a young man, with delicate features and a commanding presence.
"It's Lord Park!"
"Lord Park is from a dragon-slaying clan! He will surely defeat the drought demon!"
"We're saved!"
The crowd cheered loudly.
Because at this moment everyone knows that Park Eun-soo is a member of the Dragon Slayer Clan, and that she publicly received the imperial decree to exterminate the Drought Demon.
Seeing him arrive, everyone felt a glimmer of hope!
However, at this moment, Park Eun-soo did not relax; instead, her muscles tensed up.
Because, in his perception, this drought demon had become stronger than before!
I was somewhat confident before, but now I actually feel a bit of pressure!
