Chapter 181 The Demon Emperor's Choice

The drums of war for the assassination to relieve the Demon Emperor's worries had been sounded since midnight, and as the night deepened, the boiling blood had burned the thick snow into devastation.

The rushing sword art, the flashing sword, the whistling magic and the energy.

Deafening sounds of collapse were heard continuously in the Jade Garden. As the buildings collapsed, dust and smoke billowed, and even the night sky was filled with murderous intent.

The bodies of the demons are not as strong as those of the barbarians, but they are faster than them, especially those at the peak of the Xuan Demon Realm.

They had already completed the transformation of their demonic aura and the rapid increase of their combat power in previous battles, and their combat power was already comparable to that of the half-infantry king of the barbarians.

This is the advantage of the demon race.

After their bodies became demonic, the degree of improvement was far higher than that of the barbarians.

So even though the time it takes for them to transform into monsters is half that of the barbarians, for the human race at this moment, every increase in deadly murderous intent is like a torrent sweeping over them.

Yan Chuan chanted wildly with the sword, like a rainbow in the daytime. He alone restrained two demon generals who had been transformed into monsters, and kept swinging his sword!

The sharp sword was like lightning, cutting through the snow waves.

However, Huo Hong and Yan Qiubai who were following closely behind him dodged and evaded, but were already seriously injured by the pursuit and hacking of the witch general Xue Bai.

With a loud bang, a series of fragmented noises were heard in the East Courtyard.

The iron knife of the elder of Shanhai Pavilion fell fiercely, but was directly dispersed by two demon generals who had been transformed into monsters with silver spears and the same iron knife.

The demon general Jianrong suddenly stomped on the ground and flew eastward in the gap, leaving only a shadow in the snowy night.

Before Jiang Chenfeng could come to his senses, he saw a huge axe coming down with a rolling wave of air. In horror, he raised his sword to block it, but was hit and fell back violently, with severe pain in his arm.

Before he could come to his senses, he saw the giant axe with carved fangs coming at him again at lightning speed, exuding murderous aura and shattering the snow in the sky.

At this moment, the genius of the Jiang family suddenly raised his arm, and a golden light condensed between his fingers and pierced through directly. However, it only blocked for a moment, and the golden light was fiercely split by the iron knife. Jiang Chenfeng was directly chopped into the brothel in the east courtyard by the iron knife with undiminished momentum.

The flying figure directly smashed the wooden door and paper window. Jiang Chenfeng fell to the ground with a "bang", his hands trembling wildly and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, the gap left by that finger allowed him to gather all his spiritual energy to protect his body, and he was able to hold on. However, the threat of death made him extremely frightened and angry.

“Damn it!”

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

If the triangle formation is coordinated properly, it can indeed delay the battle for a short period of time.

But as time goes by, the decline will eventually show up.

Rong Daojing is considered a favored one within the Immortal Sect, but facing this kind of battle situation with the peak of Xuan Yao, he really can't hold out for too long.

Jiang Chenfeng was furious at this moment, but suddenly he heard a clear sword chant outside the yard, and his brows furrowed.

That was Ji You's sword. He had seen it many times during this trip...

At the same time, on the tower outside Yuyuan, the expression of the Ya tribe leader gradually became anxious.

Just as the human race's triangular formation could not hold out for too long, the magical instruments that they purchased from the human race to conceal their energy could only last for an hour before they would collapse.

At that time, the Demon Emperor only needs to open his eyes slightly to see everything.

But until now, they have not received any news of human deaths.

Without the permission of the Demon Emperor, although they could only mobilize the top Xuan Demons and not the famous Heavenly Demons, they had already converted the battle strength earlier. If all the Xuan Demons of the two tribes participated in the battle, it should be a crushing victory.

Even though they had been prepared in advance, the Ya tribe leader could not have imagined that they would be so procrastinating.

“Don’t be impatient!”

"How can I not be anxious?!"

"Even if he can't kill those immortal cultivators, with Shuhe's talent, he can definitely kill all the envoys. Maybe... he has succeeded!"

Like Jiang Chenfeng, the two of them were also looking towards the west courtyard at this time.

And in that secluded courtyard, a spiritual sword with surging sword intent and a fast dagger collided fiercely, and then quickly separated. The sharp energy directly shattered the wind and snow.

At this time, Ji You had already landed in the yard, his eyes shining like golden streams, his arms surging with energy, his fiery spirit began to emanate from his body, and the other sword in his hand kept fighting.

Feng Yang's needle was indeed very effective. He now looked as if he had never been injured. He held the hilt of the sword as if he was holding the power of the Qingyun world. At this moment, he was looking at the demon.

The demon general Shu He was also looking at Ji You, who looked like a scholar in the courtyard, and his eyes narrowed as he felt the sword energy rising around him.

Previously, he entered the West Courtyard using [Sneak into the Night with the Wind], and although he was discovered immediately, he did not panic.

Because compared to stealth, his greater killer move is his speed and the two daggers in his hands. Under the silent and extreme speed, he has always been like the god of death.

But he never thought that someone could block his dagger.

Coincidence...? What a weird coincidence.

Swoosh! It was like the sound of a sharp piece of iron passing through the wind.

Shuhe suddenly stepped out and instantly transformed into a black phantom. When he took the second step, even his shadow almost disappeared completely, and even the slight fluctuations of energy in the air disappeared in an instant.

But what was boiling at this moment was the murderous intent that kept spurting out from the dagger! His family was not rich, and he was considered the bottom of the monster clan. His parents were both merchants from other cities.

Although the demon race does not have the same level of oppression of the upper class over the lower class as the human race, there is still a gap between the rich and the poor, especially in the snowy region of the far north where resources are extremely scarce.

But relying on his talents of extreme speed and stealth, he climbed all the way to the position of the Scale Clan Demon General. This is enough to show how much gold content there is in the description that although he is the weakest, he can rank in the top three in terms of killing.

Shu He showed a bloodthirsty smile, but before the corners of his mouth could fully rise, the smile froze on his face, because the ferocious dagger, which was driven at high speed as usual, made a clanging sound again after stabbing down.

That was not the sound of stabbing flesh, but the sound of iron colliding like before.

Ji You had swung his sword in an instant, and the swords bloomed in the sky like waves, directly forcing back the dagger that was attacking at a high speed. There was a golden light in his two solemn eyes.

At this time, Shu Heze looked at the dagger in his hand, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

But in just a blink of an eye, Shuhe suddenly disappeared from the spot like sneaking into the night with the wind, and the high-speed dagger rushed forward again in an instant.

With a clang sound.

Ji You suddenly turned his body and chopped down his cloak again like a hammer.

The sword tip rubbed against the knife blade and thrust out fiercely, sparks flew everywhere. Ji You leaned back and saw the demon general swinging his sword to kill him again, so he immediately raised his sword and slashed horizontally!

After another round of clashes of swords, the demon general suddenly opened his eyes wide when he felt the dagger in his hand trembling violently.

"You can really see!?"

"I'm not blind."

Ji You spoke calmly, looking at him with a sword-drawn gesture, the sword energy in his hand continuing.

Humans have two ways of observing the outside world: one is the five senses, and the other is divine consciousness.

For ordinary people, what the five senses observe are sufficient, but for immortal cultivators, divine consciousness is the most important means of observation.

During the practice in the lower three realms, the human cultivators' spiritual thoughts gradually began to be able to be directed outward at will, and the range continued to expand.

And his spiritual thoughts have always been different from others.

This is not a matter of talent, but a matter of usage habits.

He has always used seven swords to fight off enemies, so his spiritual power often needs to be divided into seven parts. This way of fighting has given his spiritual power more observation points.

Although humans are physically weak, they are extremely sensitive to motion capture.

Using his divine sense to observe multiple points, and with the human race's ability to capture dynamic trajectories, he could indeed see the trajectory of this person's movements...

The demon general outside is very strong, but the one in front is not that strong.

In a flash, Ji You frowned suddenly, and saw the demon general stepping into the night and attacking again with the dagger, so he swung his sword to block it.

But after the same sparks flew, Ji You did not relax for a moment. The crisis warning brought by his five senses made him subconsciously turn his body. Then he saw a cold light passing by his eyes, and a knife mark appeared on his cheek, and blood immediately gushed out.

As the knife came down, Shu He's eyes showed a hint of disbelief. He couldn't believe that his knife had only caused such a small wound.

Ji You touched the blood on his face, continued to hold the sword, and stared at his figure...

Throughout this journey, he has been using the barbarians to test his physical strength, and now he has finally met someone who can break his defense.

but……

That's not because he's particularly strong.

Compared to those demon generals with terrifying aura outside, this demon general is not on the same level in terms of strength or martial arts.

The only thing that makes people scared is his ghostly speed.

The reason why he was able to hurt himself was because of the knife in his hand.

The demon race is not only rich in high-quality spiritual stones, but it is also said that there are countless rare iron ores beneath the permafrost...

Shu He noticed that Ji You was staring at his knife, then he frowned and suddenly attacked. The short knife burst out with a powerful energy, as bright as the moon.

He felt that the reason his sword could be seen through was because the starting position was locked, so this human should be using divine consciousness to make predictions.

But it is difficult for him to dodge the extremely fast continuous attacks at close range, because the shorter the distance, the less time he has to react. The sword just now confirmed this speculation.

In this situation, even if the human's physical strength was beyond his imagination, he would surely die if he was stabbed a few more times in the heart.

The key problem is that his reaction speed cannot keep up with his keen capture.

In other words, even if he could see, he did not have the same top speed as himself, so he could not hurt himself.

If you can only see, what’s the point even if you can see it clearly?

His sword could only make the corners of his clothes slightly dirty!

With a clang!

Sparks flew between the collision between the long sword and the dagger. As Shu He expected, he was able to catch the first sword, and then the dagger in his left hand immediately rushed towards his heart.

But Ji You suddenly retreated, directly widened the distance between the two sides, and raised the spirit sword in his hand high.

Shu He raised the corner of his mouth, thinking that this human was indeed smart. He could see at a glance that he was going to take his life with a rapid joint attack.

But he could only dodge. Putting himself in his shoes, Shuhe felt a sense of fear.

Because even he himself didn't know how to avoid his own extreme speed.

Buzz! Shu He raised his sword with a bloodthirsty smile. The two short swords were like silver moons, shining brightly, and instantly exuded a strong murderous intent.

With a clang, the extremely sharp knife came whizzing towards him again. Just like the previous times, Ji You raised his sword and blocked it directly.

Just like the previous times, the sharp knife came rushing towards him again, leaving him no chance to react.

But at this moment, Shu He, who was moving at top speed, suddenly saw a strong sword light whistling into the sky.

With a swish sound, his left shoulder hurt sharply and blood gushed out immediately. He dodged in horror and looked back quickly, only to see that the sword energy was already three feet away and suddenly cut off a pine or cypress tree covered with thick snow, causing the heavy snow to collapse.

[Cannot hurt yourself]

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

[I felt a wave of fear, even I was afraid of myself]

At this moment, Shuhe's eyes widened instantly, and he stared at his shoulders with an expression of disbelief.

He didn't know what kind of sword it was, but he knew it was extremely fast.

If I wasn't fast enough, the sword would have hit my head! I can't hold back any longer.

Kill him quickly and complete the mission.

Suddenly, Shu He raised his arms violently, his face became increasingly ferocious, and the aura around him began to rise continuously.

As a slight sound of bones colliding was heard, his body began to hunch over and his whole body fell forward, as if his waist was suddenly bent.

Buzz! The dancing air waves roared and rolled, and the demon general Shuhe instantly transformed into a demon. He flew over like an arrow, and his short sword flashed with a cold dragon-like light.

With a clang, the iron knife brushed against Ji You's sword and went straight up, leaving a trail of blood on the snow.

Ji You's clothes were torn and there was a knife mark on his collarbone, but at this moment he swung his sword and a powerful sword energy suddenly rose into the air.

In fact, just as Shuhe thought, his speed was extremely deadly.

If you can only see clearly but cannot inflict any harm on him, then it will be of no use even if you see clearly.

So what he needed was a fast sword, a sword that only pursued extreme speed.

And it just so happens that he does have a fast sword.

With a clang, the iron sword chopped down again. The speed of this sword was so fast that it seemed like a burst of cold light. Even the snowflakes in the sky were still when the sword was swung.

But as the sword fell, it did not cause the opponent to bleed like before, but instead the sound of golden swords colliding resounded throughout the garden.

After transforming into a demon, Shu He used a knife to block his extremely fast sword, and a hint of cruelty and anger flashed in his vertical pupils.

He was very annoyed that the goblin, who was known for his speed, had to transform into a monster before he could block the human sword.

Boom! The short knife in his left hand came through the wind, almost as fast as Ji You's sword, and chopped down fiercely.

Ji You raised his sword to block, then swung it to attack with the Spirit Sword Mountain Dao Sword [Return].

In an instant, the collision between the short knife and the long sword was as dense as rain, and sparks flew towards him, but at this moment, Shu He suddenly felt a piercing pain coming from his heart. He quickly stopped fighting with Ji You and looked down.

There was a sword wound on his heart, and blood was flowing out.

Shu He didn't understand, but his temper became obviously more violent after he became a monster, and his short knife swung at an extremely fast speed, instantly producing countless silver flowers.

Puff! As Shuhe felt a pain in his lower abdomen, another sword mark appeared on his body, making him feel a strong sense of irritability and deep panic.

Tonight, many things were beyond his expectations.

His whereabouts were easily discovered, and his proud ultimate quick knife was intercepted many times, and his continuous quick attacks could only injure his flesh.

The most terrifying thing is that now, before he could even see clearly, his body was already covered with sword wounds.

At this moment, Ji You stepped on Xue'er and came. The iron sword in his hand suddenly slashed down with an extremely fast sword. Shu He, who was filled with shock and anger, used his sword to block the sword, but saw another wave of swords whistling towards him.

?! He has two swords! No, three swords...

Shu He suddenly felt a pain in the back of his heart. He turned back in horror and saw seven spirit swords suddenly rising into the air. The powerful sword energy and bright sword light almost illuminated the entire darkness.

And beneath the sword light, illuminated was a face with golden eyes.

At this time, at the Princess Mansion on the west side of Dengfeng Avenue.

At this moment, Feng Yang was looking towards the direction of Yuyuan with a serious expression, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his beautiful eyes.

Ever since she heard the sounds of fighting in the night, she knew that a riot had broken out in the city.

But the subsequent message was what made the demon princess tremble in her heart, because the message said that more than a dozen demon generals from the Scale Clan and the Tooth Clan all took advantage of the night to kill towards Yuyuan.

Some things are hard to think of if you don't pay attention at first, but once you pay attention, there is no need to ask why.

The Scale Tribe and the Tooth Tribe have always been the strongest supporters of the counterattack on Jiuzhou. Their actions at this time are undoubtedly serving as a fuse for the alliance between the Demon Tribe and the Barbarian Tribe.

Feng Yang thought of the man he disliked before, and suddenly understood why he had to restore his arm during the day...

The reason why he didn't say it clearly was because he was also a demon...

It turns out that it's not frivolous, nor is it a matter of not cherishing one's life. Feng Yang pursed his lips in a daze.

The human man did so many strange things during the day, and it turned out that he had hidden a murderous intention under the cover of night, but he was able to remain calm.

"The Scale Clan and the Fang Clan acted on their own, aren't they afraid of being blamed by our father?!"

Ye Han looked at his sister and said, "If the human delegation is really dead, the counterattack of our demon race on Jiuzhou will be a foregone conclusion. When the war is about to start, the four strongest tribes of Scale, Claw, Hair and Fang will naturally not be held accountable. Or, the chiefs of the Scale and Fang tribes are never afraid of death, but are only afraid of not seeing Jiuzhou. This is obsession."

Feng Yang clenched his palms: "The human race has been prepared long before this, and will never die."

"I don't know what you mean by preparation, but I heard that... Shuhe also went."

Princess Fengyang turned to look at Han Ye: "Demon General Shuhe?"

Ye Han nodded.

Hearing these words, the demon princess's expression became extremely solemn.

Every warrior of the Scale Clan is very famous, but Shuhe is the most notorious among them, because he is extremely good at assassination. Although his combat power is not strong, he has a natural speed and there will be casualties every time he strikes with his sword.

This resulted in him always being the most marginalized warrior. Except for the chief of the Scale Clan, many people were unwilling to get close to him.

But it has to be denied that if someone is targeted by him, it is almost equivalent to being sentenced to death in advance.

At this time, Feng Yang's face was pale, as if he had seen the corpses everywhere in Yu Garden, so he immediately stepped out of the door and headed towards the Demon Emperor's Palace.

Seeing this scene, Ye Han immediately stood up and hurried to the Demon Emperor's Palace with several of his guards.

At this moment, the towering palace was like a giant beast falling into deep sleep, lying quietly in the thick night, silent and still.

On the way into the palace on this snowy night, a powerful aura was slowly rising from the depths of the Imperial Palace.

Afterwards, the black palace became eerie and bustling. Countless soldiers in armor lined up in front of the hall, and three seldom-seen Heavenly Demon Generals also came.

Feng Yang stepped into the palace and walked straight through the line of soldiers. He then saw the Demon Emperor walking out of the deep palace, looking calmly into the endless darkness.

"Father, the leaders of the Scaled and Fanged tribes acted on their own and sent the demon general and the Deadpool to Jade Garden to attack and kill the tribe under the cover of night."

The Demon Emperor looked down at his daughter: "I already know about this..."

Feng Yang knelt down upon hearing the voice, his eyelashes trembling as he said, "Father, please send troops to quell the rebellion!"

The Demon Emperor stood with his hands behind his back: "They want to make a decision for me, but they can't be considered as rebels."

"Father, I know that the leaders of the tribes have always wanted to return to Jiuzhou and have never regarded the Snow Region as their home, but Feng Yang feels that even if there is a war, it should be fair and square, and not like this."

“Sometimes people push things forward, but sometimes things push people forward.”

The Demon Emperor murmured and looked down at his daughter who was kneeling in front of the palace: "You and Ye Han should lead the demon soldiers and generals in front of the palace to the Jade Garden."

Feng Yang immediately stood up and turned to look at the imperial soldiers in front of the palace, but before she could give any orders, she heard the Demon Emperor's voice again from behind her.

"Feng Yang, do you know why I want you to lead the troops?"

Feng Yang turned his head and looked at him: "Aren't you going to save the human race?"

The Demon Emperor was silent for a long time before speaking: "If the human delegation really has casualties, then help Mule kill all the remaining ones and do it thoroughly. If not, then send all those who participated in this incident tonight to the cold prison."

Feng Yang shuddered when he heard the voice, and his eyes widened. He didn't expect his father's order to be like this: "Father..."

The Demon Emperor waved his hand and did not let her continue speaking. Instead, he spoke.

"There is an old saying among the human race, which is that man's plans are not as good as heaven's plans. But I think that sometimes man's plans may not always be the opposite of heaven's plans."

"Over the years, I have been trying to see clearly what Heaven will choose, but this time I want to see what Heaven wants me to choose. If Heaven has never thought of favoring my demon race, then whatever choice my demon race makes is wrong, so what happened tonight is fine."

"If the Heavenly Dao wants my demon race to fight, then we will fight. If the Heavenly Dao does not want my race to fight, then we will not fight. This will make things simpler."

"So you don't need to say anything more, because this time it's not me who chose you, it's God who chose you."

Hearing this, Feng Yang clenched his fists, then quickly left the city with the Heavenly Demon General and the imperial soldiers and headed for Yu Garden, but his heart was chilled.
