Chapter 355: Just Within Grasp, The Assassin Appears!
ongyang County last night. Our Ming Xue Dian's blood mosquitoes consumed the woman's blood, so we can track and locate her."Only... Master, there's something my disciple doesn't understand, hoping Mas...Xiao Ye brought Yun Hao and several others to land outside Hongyang County. He said, "Yun Hao, this is your first mission. Unless you encounter a life-or-death crisis, I won't intervene."
Although he knew Yunhao had more important missions on this trip,
But no matter what,
Yun Hao is already a Town Demon Guard, so it's time for Yun Hao to interact more with the demon race and accumulate experience against them.
Even though Yun Hao helped him regenerate an arm, he owed Yun Hao a huge favor. But he had to do his duty!
Yun Hao nodded, indicating he understood.
Xiao Ye's figure flashed and vanished.
On his journey, he couldn't adapt to the arm that had disappeared for over ten years. Now he was also a little impatient and eager to readjust quickly.
One-armed Xiao Ye is already a thing of the past.
The Xiao family's ancestral Shaking Mountain Fist is about to be revived!
Yun Hao glanced at Xia Xuan, who had been silent throughout the whole process, and said, "After we finish this mission, I'll take you to Yu Ling Valley."
Xia Xuan responded with a hum, saying, “Thank you, sir!”
Hongyang County wasn't very large, considered a minor county within the ancient kingdom of Daxia. The county government handled ordinary matters effectively, but when it came to anything involving demons, they were utterly helpless and could only rely on fate.
Although.
The relationship between the Great Xia Ancient Country and the Martial Hall has grown increasingly hostile.
But this does not affect the matter of Wu Dian slaying demons.
The Martial Palace established branches in the ancient Xia nation, not to maintain the rule of the Xia royal family. Their ideology has always been pure: to exorcise demons and protect humanity!
Yun Hao brought Xia Xuan into the county town.
The county town, which was not large to begin with, was extremely deserted and bleak. Even the occasional pedestrians on the road hurried past with downcast eyes and a quick pace.
The entire county town
A sense of oppression and fear enveloped them.
Yún Hào directly brought Xià Xuán to the county government office.
"Stop!"
The county guard shouted loudly.
"The Martial Hall's Demonic Suppression Guard has arrived to exorcise demons. Go and report this immediately!"
The county guards immediately beamed with delight upon hearing the words "Five Demon-Subduing Guards of the Martial Hall."
"I apologize for the disrespect earlier, as I was unaware that Master Wudian was here. Please forgive me, Sir Demon Guard. Would you please come inside We will lead you to see the County Magistrate."
They looked respectful and led Yun Hao and Xia Xuan into the county government office, shouting at the same time: "The Demon Guard of Wudian Town is here to exorcise demons! Our Hongyang County is saved!"
"We're finally not scared anymore!"
This is the influence of Wǔdiàn in the ancient country of Dàxià.
In the hearts of the people of the ancient Xia Kingdom, as soon as the Wuhui Demon Guard arrived, the demon race would have no possibility of further evil, only a path to death!
Very soon.
Then Yunhao saw the County Magistrate of Hongyang County.
This is an elderly person, with declining qi and blood. Although he possesses the cultivation of the Yuan Gang Realm, he can no longer exert his full strength in battle.
Even the county magistrate, when seeing Yun Hao, would bow respectfully and politely: "Lord of the Demon Guard, please be sure to eradicate the wicked demon clan. All the people in Hongyang County will be grateful for your great kindness..."
"Yun Hao: "Tell me the situation in detail first."
“Since half a month ago, every night, a group of demons have been entering Hongyang County. They openly capture young people and suck their blood and souls.”
In half a month, nearly a thousand people have been killed!
We appealed to the imperial court for help... but we never received any aid. Fortunately, the mighty Demon-Subduing Guards arrived, and Red Sun County is saved!”
"How strong are these demons" Xia Xuan asked.
Although she was still in a heavy mood, she now knew how to prioritize things and get them done.
The county magistrate: "I don't know... our strength is simply no match for this group of vile demon clans. Therefore, we are unable to probe the depths of the demon clan..."
"Have you not sought the aid of the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom's court"
The county magistrate: “There were…but reinforcements haven’t arrived yet. I suspect the Demon Clan killed those I sent to request aid…”
Yun Hao nodded and said, "Tonight, I will guard Red Sun County."
The county magistrate said, "Excellent! I'll go and announce to all the people in the county that the valiant demon-slaying guards have come to slay demons!"
Yun Hao looked at Xia Xuan and said, "Let's go."
Leave the county office.
Yun Hao said, "Tonight
If demons appear in Hongyang County, you will come and kill them.”
Xiaxuan didn't ask why. Since her master said so, she would just do it.
Nightfall.
Gradually widening.
Near Hongyang County, a gang of vicious and menacing people appeared.
"Tsk tsk, the person I'm going to kill this time is said to be from the Martial Hall"
A man at the Golden Core realm, a woman at the peak of the Return to One realm, and Xiao Ye, the renowned Demon Slayer of the Martial Hall.
"Xiao Ye, the one-armed swordsman, has broken through to the second level of the Mortal Realm. As a core member under the command of the Bright Hall of the Martial Temple, his Lone Blade Squad is quite famous!"
"I'm actually quite curious, who exactly commissioned our Blood Palace to kill someone from the Martial Hall...tsk tsk, this is the first time I've ever received a mission to eliminate someone from the Martial Hall."
"Be quiet, all of you!"
A powerful assassin let out a cold, harsh snarl.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
"The Blood Palace kills for a price. It doesn't matter who the target is or who hires us. Just focus on the money. When you go out on a mission, say less and do more. If there's another time like this, severe punishment will follow!"
A group of assassins nodded in unison, not daring to breathe.
………
"Phew..."
The night wind howled, the stars and moon were obscured, and the entire Hongyang County was enveloped in darkness.
The demon clan has been rampaging in Hongyang County for half a month. The people of Hongyang County dare not go out during the day, let alone at night.
As soon as night fell, every household went dark, with not a single candle lit. Everyone huddled in their cellars, afraid to make even the slightest sound for fear of being discovered by the demon clan.
The demons are cruel and target young men and women, drinking their blood and devouring their souls.
As for those who have grown old... they are also not spared from the brutal slaughter at the hands of the demon clan!
The news that the Demon Guard has arrived has already spread.
All those hiding in the cellars prayed that this night would pass, that the demon horde would be wiped out!
Xia Xuan stood on the rooftop of a building.
Suddenly, she looked into the distance.
The next moment, with a whoosh, the sword was drawn!
The Vermilion Blade is here, demon horde scum shall die!
As soon as his words fell, Xia Xuan, brandishing her long sword, soared through the air. In an instant, she appeared before a demon who had entered Hongyang County. With a single sweep of her blade, the sword light surged like the rolling dust of red flames, instantly severing the demon's head.
Immediately following, several surges of demonic energy slammed into them.
"Alas, the world!"
Xia Xuan let out a soft cry, her sword technique suddenly changed. It was like the person in the midst of the red dust, entangled by all sorts of helplessness and confusion. This sword's intention was to cut endlessly, but reason still prevailed over chaos. The sword energy was thousands upon thousands, swirling around, trapping the demons who surrounded them in a whirlpool of mud and chaos! Their limbs became disoriented!
Xia Xuan charged into the red dust and sword light, striking with a resolute decisiveness!
One by one, the bodies of demons fell to the ground.
"Want to escape Die!"
Xia Xuan sipped lightly, soaring into the air, chasing after the demonic clan member who sensed the unfavorable situation and was about to flee.
A fleeting traveler of the mortal world!
A sword thrust out swiftly.
A burst of laughter, then a sword piercing the heart!
………
"Trash, trash! Why did the message reach the Martial Hall It brought the Demon Suppression Guard here. None of us will make it out alive!"
A room filled with secrets.
A demon, with an imposing aura and a powerful presence at the high ranks of Gu Yi Realm, roared in anger.
In the face of these demonic creatures, the county magistrate bowed his head and said, "Rest assured, the Demon Guard doesn't know your exact numbers. They'll slaughter everyone tonight, and at most, they'll stay for another three or two days before leaving."
The demonic cultivator, with a belly full of anger nowhere to vent it, gritted his teeth and said: "Considering you informed us in time about the leaked news, I won't pursue this matter of it reaching the Martial Hall. However, there will be no tolerance for any future occurrences!"
The magistrate bowed his head and said, “There definitely won’t be a next time… Then… when can you pass on the Blood Demon Technique to me My life is fading away day by day… I'm afraid if we delay any longer, even if I cultivate the Blood Demon Technique of the demon race, it will be difficult to restore my vital energy…”
"Once this damn Wǔdiàn Town Demon Guard is gone, I'll pass you the Blood Demon Art!"
The magistrate was overjoyed.
It was at that moment.
With a bang.
A sharp sword qi sliced straight through the room, creating billowing smoke and dust.
The demon clansmen and the county magistrate from the unification realm emerged in a flurry, looking dishevelled from the smoke. Yun Hao stood before them, sword drawn.
The county magistrate's face was full of anxiety and disbelief: "You... how did you find your way here..."
Yun Hao: "As the lord of a county, colluding with demons, you are doomed!"
As soon as the words left his lips, his figure shot out like a rocket.
When the demon clan of that realm saw this, they immediately disregarded the county magistrate's life and death, turning around to flee.
"Whoosh!"
Yun Hao's sword flashed across the county magistrate's neck, and a burst of sword energy shot towards the escaping Guiyi Realm demon clan.
Five Elements Extreme Sword, Golden Extreme Breaking Void Sword!
This is the strongest sword of the Five Elements Extreme Sword, and it's also the fastest.
Even though the demon tribe of the Returning One Realm was fast and had already fled a considerable distance, when the sword energy erupted, it pierced through its head in almost the blink of an eye.
Today, he came to Hongyang County and saw the magistrate. He immediately sensed something was amiss.
A group of demon creatures, regards Hongyang County as a place to obtain food.
But they didn't first remove the county magistrate, which is utterly unreasonable. After all, in the county office,
There were not many strong warriors or spellcasters.
Without the county magistrate, they could be even more unrestrained in devouring the human essence and souls in Hongyang County.
Another thing is that after Yun Hao and his group arrived, this county magistrate was so eager to announce the news of the arrival of the Demon Suppression Guard to the entire county's population.
It seems like they want the people to see hope, but is it just a matter of time Once tonight passes and the invading demons are slain, the townsfolk will naturally know.
Doing this would only alert the demons, clearly signaling to them that the Demon-Subduing Guards of the Martial Hall have arrived!
Therefore, Yunhao saw through the county magistrate's disguise.
He let Xiaoxuan fight those visible demons outside, while he stayed here watching the county magistrate, waiting for the leader of this group of demons to appear.
He also heard the conversation between the Demon Tribe leader and the county magistrate just now.
This magistrate,
His vitality was fading, his qi and blood depleted. He wanted to cultivate the demonic race's techniques, relying on devouring essence blood to restore his vigorous life force!
This world.
There are many heroes like Xiao Ye who, in order to protect humanity, fight against the demon race without hesitation.
But there are still
Many, for their own benefit, bowed their heads to the demon race.
Help the Demon Clan harm the Human Race's scoundrels!
Yun Hao's side, killed the county magistrate who was the culprit and the leader of the demons. Xia Xuan also ended the battle and flew over immediately.
"Young master, the demon clan has been completely eradicated. We... should we head to the Spirit Vengeful Valley now"
Yun Hao was about to nod when suddenly, he frowned and looked into the distance.
In the darkness, a group of people were enveloped in
A killer with icy, intense killing intent, speeding through the air!'m very generous, so I won't hold this against you this time. But there can't be a next time!"On the other side.In a secret room of a manor in Jīnghóng City.Three men, with imposing auras, stood befor...
