157 Slaying the Demon Again
The Holy Emperor has been eliminating evil, demons, demonic cultivators, beastmen, and monsters for over twenty years. How long has it been since such a powerful demon appeared? At most, it would sacrifice a village or a small town, which were all in remote areas. Today, it sacrificed Wanzhou City. Has the Crimson Flame Demonic Sect really gone mad?
Aren't they afraid that a large army will break through their headquarters and sweep away their stronghold?
Or perhaps this is a test. It's said that the Holy Emperor has gone into seclusion, with the Crown Prince overseeing the country, and that the Holy Emperor has already left, his whereabouts unknown? Where there's smoke, there's fire. Is chaos about to ensue?
The two men had little time for thought; today, they had no choice but to fight to the death to carve out a way out. As for the 400,000 people in the city, how many could escape today depended on their luck!
The evil god continued to tempt them again and again. Before the men were mountains of gold and silver, and beauties everywhere. Before the women were gold and silver jewelry, and handsome men were all fawning over them. It was truly a blissful life.
Then, something terrifying happened. These people who were worshipping seemed to never wake up. They remained kneeling devoutly in the worship position for a long time without getting up!
As they walked away, some people, their eyes glazed over, unconsciously approached the evil god, slowly, step by step. Some people with stronger wills tried to pull these people back, but they couldn't stop them and were passively dragged forward!
Silence, a deathly silence!
He Chen looked at Mi Zhanguo, "Did you send out a distress signal? Why haven't we received any reinforcements yet?"
Mi Zhanguo looked at He Chen, momentarily at a loss for words. "Lord He, previously under the command of Chief Chai of the Police Station, I was unable to send a request for help. Even if help were available, it would likely be too late."
With the demons making their move, the city will likely fall quickly. Their greatest strength lies in their ability to bewitch people. Sacrificing people for power—in this city, people's desires are insatiable.
He Chen weighed his options, made a decision in his heart, and said domineeringly, "After this battle, I want all the businesses in Wanzhou City. I want 30% of them, and every force will have to pay! Also, businesses I don't like, gambling, and brothels can all be allowed to exist!"
After this battle, you will organize the people in charge of the city. If there are no objections, that's best; if there are, arrange a meeting tomorrow to resolve them face-to-face!
After saying that, he stopped looking at Mi Zhanguo. "I'm not discussing this with you. This is my decision, and it has to be done. If you have any objections, you can take this knife from me first. If you don't die, we can talk later!"
I can feel that my cells aren't as full anymore. This battle has taken a toll, and if I can't recover my losses, I'll be at a huge disadvantage.
With evil spirits in power, a swift and exhilarating slash swept away the demonic aura, his body seemingly floating, moving like clouds and wind, arriving a foot away from the projection of the evil god!
The closer they got, the more they felt the overwhelming chaotic consciousness, pleasure, slaughter, disorder, and chaos. The momentum and power of the projection seemed to tear the sky apart.
The wind howled, and the illusions around them unfolded automatically, as if pre-programmed. They had no consciousness, and the repeated phrases seemed to possess infinite magic, attracting the crowd to worship.
Deeply shocked, he realized this projection already possessed the strength of a Martial Emperor; if the real body were to descend, how terrifying would it be? 'Resources, resources, I'm determined to have the resources of Wanzhou. If they say they'll take them, then we'll settle this with a fight.'
With a firm resolve in their hearts, the heretics corrupted by the demonic forces, upon seeing the newcomer, did not kneel in worship but instead brandished their swords, radiating obvious killing intent. Whether it was their own will or the will of the Crimson Flame Demon God, they all turned their heads in unison, their eyes filled with ferocious glints!
The increasingly seductive voice whispered in He Chen's ear, "Kneel before me, and I will grant you eternal life and endless riches!"
He Chen laughed heartily, "I want the most beautiful fairy in the world, and countless elixirs and miraculous medicines. Grant them to me now!"
The deep voice replied, 'Kneel before me, and I will grant you eternal life and endless riches!'
The repeated words made He Chen feel incredibly small in front of the projection. At that moment, an old Confucian scholar appeared, folding paper into a sword. The sword exuded righteous energy and struck the demon with a single blow.
Then, a streak of orange-red evil fire, faster than a flying sword, came in the blink of an eye, too fast to dodge. A paper shield suddenly appeared, but the evil fire instantly pierced through the shield. "Ah!" With a scream, he fell to the ground.
"Teacher, how are you?" Several students rushed over, wielding three-foot swords, ready to right wrongs!
The old man remained silent, folding a piece of paper into a knife and slashing at the wounded flesh, cutting off a chunk. His eyes were filled with fear.
Suddenly, the corpses on the ground, which had turned into mummies, slowly rose and walked towards the living people, with sharp teeth and empty eyes, and a flame slowly burning inside their heads!
Thump, thump, step by step!
"Run! The zombies have turned into monsters!" Those who were nearby quickly fled. Some people hid in their homes, blocking the doors and windows tightly. Others carried their children and ran quickly towards crowded areas.
General Jing, the demon slayer, Mi Zhanguo, Xie Yanyan, and the twin sisters flew off to kill the zombies. The evil spirits lingered at the entrance to the underworld, clearly somewhat fearful, but with the underworld nearby and the opportunity to explore the human world, they obviously didn't want to give up this delicious ingredient!
Nearly a thousand people are staring at me; clearly, I'm deeply entrenched in demonic influence. Let me deliver a blow to you!
The swordsmanship was so powerful that a single slash could extend a thousand feet. He swept it across the nearest person, a thousand cuts simultaneously cleaving through their head in an instant, shattering their skull! In a flash, half of their head fell to the ground!
However, there was very little blood left, clearly indicating that much of it had been devoured by the evil god. At this moment, the evil god seemed somewhat sentient.
"Mortal, believe in me, and I will grant you power. Go and kill! The more you kill, the more you will please me! Accept my power!" Suddenly, the Crimson Flame Demon God unleashed a surge of power at He Chen from afar.
Transforming into a divine rainbow, a beam of red light shot forth! It was about to pierce into He Chen's head. He Chen condensed his qi into a net, and instantly, a thousand layers of dense net enveloped the power.
The Thunderfire Heart Technique was activated at full power, and a scream of agony escaped from it!
The evil god was now somewhat enraged. 'Mortal, you dare refuse my gift! My follower, destroy him!'
Instantly, the nearby corpses rose to their feet, still wearing their clothes, and rushed towards He Chen.
The person stood in mid-air, his mind swirling, a blade flashed, its roar like a dragon's cry, its sharpness tearing through the air. The illusion reopened, drawing in lightning from the sky, thunder descended upon the world like a thunderstorm, with a deafening boom.
Thunder destroyed the world; the corpses on the ground were instantly blasted into pieces, limbs flying everywhere. With a flick of the wrist, a person in the wind, the lightning and fire on the blade instantly transformed into two lightning and fire dragons that spun rapidly.
The Illusion of Beacon Fire was no longer preserved, instantly dragging the demons into the illusion.
The demon itself possesses a fiery illusion, surrounded by raging flames!
At this moment, the two illusions stand in opposition, and in an instant, the beautiful scenery of the human world reappears!
