Chapter 114: Chapter 99: The Annihilation of the Half-Demon Legion (Please Subscribe)_2
Suddenly, the unaffected men in black in front reacted, one after another initiating their transformation into terrifying monsters over two meters tall.
These monsters charged ferociously towards the rear of the carriage upon completing their transformations.
By now, the rear of the carriage was already littered with corpses.
Hundreds of men in black had all fallen.
At this moment, some men in black who were a distance away finally completed their transformation and, in groups of three or five, charged towards Li Qian, who was wreaking havoc.
Sensing the swarm of half-demons coming from the front and back... while contemplating whether to retreat, Li Qian suddenly saw a half-demon who rushed into his Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo tremble violently, showing a pained expression, and instantly reverted from his half-demon form to an ordinary human.
More half-demons rushing over encountered the same situation.
As soon as they entered the range of the Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo, these half-demons would revert from their half-demon body.
"What’s going on?"
Li Qian was astounded.
Could his Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo suppress half-demons?
The veiled woman in black who had alighted from the carriage was equally dumbfounded.
Why did those who had already transformed revert from their transformed state upon approaching that man in the black cloak?
She saw a large number of half-demon martial artists being slaughtered, suffering heavy losses, causing her heart to bleed as if it were dripping blood.
This was her capital.
As the Holy Daughter of the Moon Worship Sect, she controlled a half-demon army, not knowing how much she had sacrificed... but now, perhaps already lost a third.
Moreover, the rate of loss was still rapidly expanding.
"Form the array."
A nearly three-meter tall half-demon suddenly roared.
He was the leader of this half-demon army and a confidant of the Holy Daughter of the Moon Worship Sect.
Originally, the hundreds of half-demons that had been madly rushing forward suddenly stopped. Under the leadership of this most powerful half-demon, they began to form an array, their aura condensing, and with a surging torrential momentum, they charged towards Li Qian who was still slaughtering.
Li Qian sensed this terrifying aura and was shocked.
This was just less than half of the half-demons forming an array; if it were the full might of the half-demon army in its prime, it would have been even more terrifying.
But now that he knew his Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo could suppress half-demons, he had ample confidence. He did not think that after the half-demons formed their array, they could withstand his Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo.
Immediately, he faced the fierce momentum of the half-demon army, advancing instead of retreating.
Thud, thud, thud...
Chen Bell’s range of psychic attack swept out.
At the same time, the Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo, centered on him, ebbed outwards like waves.
The charging half-demon army, upon entering the range of his Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo, suddenly saw their fierce auras extinguished, each showing a pained expression, then their half-demon bodies were reverted, transforming back into normal human forms.
Li Qian rushed forward, executing a sweeping sword strike, sword light blooming, the assembled half-demons fell like cut wheat.
The leading half-demon chief, with stronger cultivation and strength, also couldn’t withstand the fearsome Sword Intent of Li Qian and the influence of Chen Bell upon reverting from his half-demon body, still in a stunned state when his head was instantly severed.
By the time Li Qian broke into the midst of the half-demon battle formation, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he slaughtered wildly, leaving corpses strewn everywhere in his wake.
In the end, the remaining half-demons... as if ignorant of fear, still charged at him fearlessly.
The Black-clothed Saintess trembled all over, chilled to the bone.
It was over.
All was lost...
Not until Li Qian had slain the last half-demon with his sword did the entire avenue lay covered with dense bodies.
The thick stench of blood filled the air, nauseating.
Li Qian, holding his unsullied dripping sword, approached the carriage.
At this moment, the Black-clothed Saintess staggered like a walking corpse, looking at the horrific scene before her, her mind a blank...
The several maids around her were also terrified, but they still firmly remembered their duties, closely guarding the Black-clothed Saintess.
"You, you are a devil..."
Suddenly, the Black-clothed Saintess, looking at Li Qian approaching, staggered back, then cried out hysterically.
"It is your Moon Worship Sect that created these disgusting monsters... That’s the true devilry."
Li Qian’s hoarse voice rose.
After speaking, no longer wasting words, he swiftly lunged forward, sword in hand.
The maids around the Black-clothed Saintess underwent drastic changes, completing their half-demonization, but this half-demon form was quite different from those before, more similar to the half-demons encountered during the secret mission to eliminate the Mu Family’s fort.
The Moon Worship Sect must possess two methods of nurturing half-demons.
As the half-demonized maids charged over, Li Qian’s Qi Blood Sacred Realm Embryo swept across, instantly reverting their half-demon bodies. With a sweep of his long sword, all were sent to the hereafter.
The Black-clothed Saintess, upon witnessing this scene, finally calmed down, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes.
By the time Li Qian finished off several maids, the Black-clothed Saintess already had Black Blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, and then she fell to the ground, breathing her last in an instant.
"Dead. And quite decisively at that."
Li Qian, looking at the corpse of the Black-clothed Saintess, revealed a look of surprise, guessing she was afraid of being interrogated and revealing the secrets of the Moon Worship Sect.
He briefly examined the body of the Black-clothed Saintess and found nothing but a small cloth bag containing vials and pots; there were no other items related to the secrets of the Moon Worship Sect.
He turned to glance at the road strewn with corpses, stroking his chin, the carnage was indeed too brutal.
This was the first time he had killed so many people.
However, these were all disgusting monsters... not to be regarded as normal people, so he felt relieved.
If it weren’t for this half-demon legion, the army of the Night King Mansion wouldn’t have suffered such a disastrous defeat.
He didn’t know how much blood of his fellow Divine Sword Sect disciples had been tainted by these half-demons’ hands.
He was merely avenging his deceased sect members and redressing their grievances.
Immediately, he turned around and darted into the darkness.
...
Morning.
Ten miles away from the Divine Sword Sect.
An immense military encampment had already been established.
The Luo royal flag fluttered in the wind.
Within the commander’s tent.
Numerous Heavenly Persons and leaders of the Martial Arts Army were all assembled.
The mood was high spirited.
As long as they could take down the Divine Sword Sect and lock down Taicang Pass, the court’s suppression could fail without a fight, and the territory of the Luo King’s domain would be as stable as Mount Tai.
"Why haven’t Master Yang Mei and Daoist Han arrived yet?"
The commander Luo Tiange, sitting grandly in the main seat, asked with a solemn tone.
"These two Daoist friends are pursuing Xiao Wendao of the Divine Sword Sect; they are probably delayed..."
One of the Heavenly Persons said.
Upon hearing this, Luo Tiange’s brows immediately furrowed.
Last time Chen Ao, a Heavenly Person from the Xuanming Sect, pursued Xiao Wendao and ended up being killed by him in retaliation.
This time, with Master Yang Mei and Han Tianbao, two Heavenly Persons teamed up in the pursuit; such an incident should not occur. However, he still had a lingering sense of unease.
Suddenly, an urgent report came from outside.
"Report, an envoy from the Divine Sword Sect has arrived."
"Let the envoy come in."
Luo Tiange said in a deep voice.
Soon, an elder from the Divine Sword Sect entered with his head held high, surveying the gathered crowd before settling on Luo Tiange. He did not bow, but arrogantly said, "A Heavenly Person from our Divine Sword Sect has sent me to deliver three items."
A Heavenly Person from the Divine Sword Sect?
That must be Xiao Wendao, right?
Wasn’t Xiao Wendao being pursued by Master Yang Mei and Han Tianbao? How could he still send someone to deliver items?
Luo Tiange and the rest were stunned.
The next moment, the elder from the Divine Sword Sect immediately took out three identity tokens.
"These are the Heavenly Position Minister identity tokens of Chen Ao, a Heavenly Person from the Xuanming Sect, Master Yang Mei, a Heavenly Person from the Purple Cloud Sect, and Han Tianbao, a Heavenly Person from the Luo royal family. They are now returned to their rightful owner."
Luo Tiange reached out and grabbed the three tokens from the elder’s hand.
After a careful examination, his face darkened like water.
With the Heavenly Position Minister identity tokens falling into the hands of the Divine Sword Sect, the fate of Master Yang Mei and Han Tianbao was not hard to guess.
However, he couldn’t comprehend... how did Xiao Wendao manage to counter-kill the two?
This was too absurd.
Even if he had the cultivation of a mid-level Heavenly Person, he believed under the circumstances of being injured and pursued by Master Yang Mei and Han Tianbao, he would probably not be able to retaliate and kill them.
At this moment, another urgent voice rose from outside the tent.
"Report to the commander, there has been an incident with the Moon Worship Sect."
